Chapter 1656 Penalty
The football game in 1926 was still in a relatively crude and primitive stage, and British football clubs were still in the stage of trying to professionalize, not to mention other countries.

European football clubs are rarely profitable, and ticket prices are pitifully low, and sometimes they don't even need tickets to attract spectators to watch.

As for commercial development, there are almost no European football clubs, and they are barely maintained by the membership dues paid by members, which is actually not much.

For example, the Huddersfield Town football team, which just won the English Football League Championship last year, although the city of Huddersfield is the center of the machinery industry in the UK, it has less than 21 people until the 15st century, even if the 15 people are How much membership dues do Huddersfield Town Football Club members receive?

Although the friendly match between Bigwig Public School and Locke Middle School is just two middle schools, in Remy's view, the business development is already quite mature.

The two teams not only have sponsors, even this game is sponsored by merchants, and there are quite a few merchants sponsoring them. Remy counted the billboards around the stadium, and there are at least ten companies sponsoring this event Contest.

"The positions of these billboards can be purchased. A billboard is about [-] rand, which is not much money, but it is enough to organize this game. The friendly match between Bigwig College and Rock Middle School will not only not lose money but also It will still make money, and tickets will probably be sold in two years, and by then, the influence will continue to expand." Malan is full of expectations for the friendly match, not the match itself, but this model.

Remy didn't speak. Everything in southern Africa is good, but there are too many commercial elements and it smells like copper.

After all, the school is not a business, adding too many commercial factors will change the nature of the friendly match.

Of course, for the company and the two schools, each takes what they need. What the company needs is profit, what the school needs is influence, and the audience is very cooperative and willing to pay the bill, which makes Remy very envious.

So the "copper smell" is probably envy and jealousy.

It has not risen to the level of hate.

To learn, we must look at this game with a learning attitude——

With that in mind, Remy immediately accepted the billboard on the sidelines.

This thing is not difficult, and it can be replicated in European football games.

Before the game started, the band on the sidelines played "God Save the Queen", and everyone stood up and sang.

The song "God Save the Queen" is now the national anthem of the Commonwealth, not just the Commonwealth, at least a dozen countries around the world have rewritten the song "God Save the Queen" as their national anthem, and the United States has adopted "God Save the Queen" Russia also began to use the tune of "God Save the King" as its national anthem in 1815, and it was replaced by "God Save the Tsar" in 1833.

The Second German Empire also used the tune as its national anthem.

Southern Africa also has two versions of the national anthem. In addition to "God Save the Queen", the other national anthem is "March of the Expeditionary Army". It was written and became the second national anthem of Southern Africa after it was broadcast on the radio.

After the national anthem was sung, the game officially began. The referee tossed a coin to choose the side. Locke Middle School won and chose the side facing away from the sun to attack.

At this time, Remy was surprised to find that the offense and defense of the two teams were very organized, the three lines were kept tight, the passing and running of the players were very skilled, and several players had quite good footwork. Impress Remy.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Rock Middle School launched an attack. No. 8, who is not tall but very skilled in footwork, made a long pass. The tall but fast striker No. 9 suddenly appeared in front of the goal, rushing to catch up with the defenders. Before the ball was scored, the audience burst into cheers.

To Remi's relief, the fans of Locke High School were ecstatic, while the fans of Bigwig School were disappointed, they were still rhythmically cheering for the players on the field, and they did not insult or do other crazy moves.

It can be seen that Locke Middle School is indeed well prepared.

After withstood the counterattack of Bigglow School, the No. 8 player of Locke Middle School took the ball and ran all the way again. After passing the four defenders of Bigglow School on the way, he passed the Bigglow School again with a juggling action The goalkeeper sent the ball into the net again.

"What's the name of this little guy? He can even enter the adult team to play professionally!" Remy's palm was about to slap red. The atmosphere in the stadium was so enthusiastic that Remy had to yell in Malan's ear.

"Impossible. This little guy is the son of Lord Rhodesia. Even if he doesn't inherit the title of Lord Rhodesia, he still has tens of thousands of wealth waiting for him to inherit—" Malan expressed regret, because his family really has mines.

Remy had to think about it before he knew who the Lord Rhodesia Malan was talking about.

Stoudemire is sitting next to him, showing off to Rock right now.

"How is it, my little Cecil is doing well? Judy is 15 years old, think about it, I will love her as I treat my daughter." It is not enough for Xiao Si to marry Roya to Arthur, he also wants to kiss her Add a kiss.

"Don't even think about it!" Rock directly refused. The pigs were thinking about his own cabbage before it was raised. It was too much!
"Think about it, if Judy is willing to marry, I'll give her the Rhodesia Company—" Stoudemire invested heavily, Rhodesia Company is one of the most profitable companies under Stoudemire's name.

After the spin-off of the South African company, Rhodesia is mainly engaged in the financial industry, and its capital accumulation has reached hundreds of millions. Like Nyasaland and Rand Bank, it has become the three major financial giants in southern Africa.

Nyasaran Company and Rand Bank are both industries under Roque's name. If Stoudemire really gives Judy the Rhodesia Company, Roque will become the undisputed overlord of the southern African financial industry.

"It's not rare!" Rock dismissed it, but it's not like I didn't.

"My lord, my grandson and Judy are classmates—" Douglas also came to join in the fun, and there were quite a few people who were thinking about Xiaobaicai.

"It's a generation behind!" Rock was also straightforward, and it made people worry about watching a ball.

At the end of the first half, Locke High School led [-]-[-], and Bigwig School scored a goal before the end of the first half, keeping suspense for the second half.

The fans of the two teams don't care about the score, Locke High School has the advantage, and Bigwei Public School still has a chance in the second half, and there are cultural performances on the field, the atmosphere is very happy.

The fans of Bigwig College started to run all over the stadium carrying the flags.

Not to be outdone, the Locke fans continued to make noise with loud waves.

The singer who was singing on the court was very depressed. Her voice was completely covered by the shouts of the fans, which was really rude.

At the beginning of the second half, Bigwei Public School replaced three players in one go, and hoped that the players who had just entered the field would be able to tear through the defense of Locke Middle School with their abundant physical strength.

Locke Middle School has been prepared for a long time. While replacing two players, it adjusted the formation to 451, and played a defensive counterattack happily. Only one player No. 8 was left in the forward line to harass.

Bigwig School is very depressed. Their overall strength is not weaker than Locke Middle School, but they are passive because of the lack of No. 8 players who can change the situation on the field. This is the role of stars.

"The level of these two teams is very high. It's unbelievable. These are actually two middle school teams." Remy has been completely impressed. Such fierce competitions rarely occur in European club leagues.

"The overall level of campus football in Southern Africa is very high. Almost every school has a school team. The Football Association is considering setting up a university league as part of the Southern African Football League." Ma Lan is proud, and don't underestimate the impact of campus football. strength, like the Oxford and Cambridge rowing races.

As the top universities in the UK, Oxford and Cambridge do not know how many students graduate from Oxford and Cambridge each year, and those who are eligible to graduate from Oxford and Cambridge are undoubtedly the elites of the UK. The root cause of widespread concern.

Similar competitions include Harvard and Yale in the United States, which also have the same extensive competition as Oxford and Cambridge. Every year, Harvard and Yale also hold rowing races, as well as rugby games that are more popular among Americans. All are endowed with meaning beyond the game.

As time went by, the competition on the court became more intense, and the players' movements became more and more intense. The coaches of both teams were restless on the sidelines, and the emotions of the audience were also affected. It was no longer a harmonious atmosphere, and the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.

Relying on the advantage of the home court, Bigwei Public School scored two goals in a row and rewritten the score to [-]-[-].

Towards the end of the game, player No. [-] of Locke Middle School, who performed well in the first half, broke into the penalty area of ​​Bigwig College.

The referee blew his whistle and awarded Locke a penalty.

This was an obvious misjudgment. Stoudemire's son fell down by himself, and was not tripped by the defender of Bigwig Public School.

Immediately, all the defenders of Bigwig surrounded the referee, hoping that the referee could change the penalty.

The referee was unmoved. He just insisted that it was the defender of Bigwei Public School who tripped Stoudemire's son because of the angle of view.

This is the best chance to tie the score.

Stoudemire's son came to the penalty spot with the ball, and there were huge boos on the court.

Bigwig College didn't care whether the No. [-] player was Stoudemire's son or not. The penalty kick near the end of the game was enough to wipe out all the hard work of the Bigwig+ players.

Locke High School fans are also working hard to make noise. As long as a penalty kick is scored, Locke High School will be able to escape death, and a draw is also an acceptable result.

The players of Bigwig College on the sidelines were desperate. They worked hard for 90 minutes, but they had to accept this result.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Stoudemire's son ran towards the ball in small steps, accumulating energy, swinging his legs, exerting energy——

Then kick the ball to the stands!
