The Era of Emerald

PS1: Today's update is here. I hope that all book friends will not pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise that there will be no continuous updates...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

Although the fact that Sun Jihai was elected as the All-Star voter has caused dissatisfaction among some fans, the fact that an Asian player was elected as the Serie A All-Star voter has also become a good gimmick for the Italian Football Association's external publicity, and it has indeed attracted the attention of many people. eyeball.After all, people are always curious about things that do not conform to common sense.

Of course, this kind of thing happens once in a while.After all, although the Italian Football Association has been imitating the NBA on the other side of the ocean and striving to promote the commercialization of Serie A, it does not want to treat everything as a business like the NBA.Therefore, in some matters, such as the final ownership of the All-Star voting champion, the Italian Football Association still hopes to be more reasonable, and try not to appear as much as possible.

I believe that the Italian Football Association, which has learned enough experience and lessons from the holding of this All-Star Game, will probably not make such a mistake next time. They will definitely find a way in the voting system to avoid this situation from happening again.

But these are all things to say later. For Tianchao fans, when they learned that Sun Jihai was elected as the All-Star vote leader and will represent the World Star United as a starting player, this Serie A All-Star Game is where they are. The most anticipated holiday in December, even surpassing their attention to the NBA!

It is not surprising that such a situation occurs, not to mention that there is a huge gap in influence between football and basketball itself, and the Houston Rockets where the little giant is located this season is also quite mediocre. Van Gundy's conservative and dull style of play Even more tiresome.In contrast, although Sun Jihai is only a substitute in Fiorentina, Viola is a well-deserved European overlord, and Zambrotta is the first choice for Fiorentina and the Italian national team on the right back!Sun Jihai can serve as Zambrotta's first substitute in such a powerful club, doesn't it show his strength?

Moreover, compared with the little giant who was just a recruit in the NBA and didn't get any outstanding honors, Sun Jihai, who has played for Florence for many years, has far surpassed the opponent in terms of team honors.Among other things, the big ear cups that Fiorentina won after entering the new century, which symbolize the highest honor of European clubs, are enough to make it impossible for the team to reach the playoffs in the past four years. The Rockets, which only won two championships, were eclipsed.

What's more, the football boom brought by the 02 World Cup has not completely receded in China at this time, and the fans of China have not experienced the dark period in their previous lives that made many of them give up supporting their country's football.Coupled with the fact that CCTV began broadcasting Serie A in the early 90s, Chinese fans have a high degree of recognition for Serie A. Therefore, the influence of football and Serie A in China at this time is far from relying on the little giants This is comparable to the NBA, which is the first Chinese champion in history to squeeze into the public eye.

Due to the huge difference in influence between football and basketball, as well as the stark contrast between Sun Jihai and Yao Ming, Chinese fans naturally pay more attention to Serie A and the upcoming Serie A All-Star Game.

For this situation, NBA Commissioner David Stern is naturally very worried.Wanting to globalize the NBA, he took advantage of the influence of Jordan and Yao Ming to open up the Chinese market with great difficulty. Unexpectedly, he was still easily defeated by football, the world's number one sport.At this moment, Stern is most fortunate that the date of the Serie A All-Star game did not collide with the NBA All-Star Game. Otherwise, it is really unknown how many viewers Yao Ming will attract to the NBA.But these are digressions, so let’s stop here.

The news that Sun Jihai was selected into the first Serie A All-Star starting lineup and voted king greatly stimulated the promotion of Serie A in the Tianchao market. Many new fans who just started to pay attention to football immediately paid attention to Serie A and the team that Sun Jihai played for. Fiorentina Club, and took this opportunity to become a loyal fan of Serie A and Fiorentina.

It is for this reason that many Chinese manufacturers who sensed huge business opportunities contacted the Italian Football Association and Fiorentina, hoping to reach a strategic partnership with them or sign a sponsorship contract, and take this opportunity to enhance their popularity and expand their domestic market share.

According to incomplete statistics, after Sun Jihai was elected as the All-Star voter, the Italian Football Association had to open up two additional large rooms, and at the same time dispatched commissioners to answer letters from these Chinese manufacturers and fans.Otherwise, whether the Italian Football Association can work normally is still unknown.

Naturally, the Italian Football Association and Fiorentina will not make more excuses for such companies that take the initiative to send money to their door.However, if you want to become part of the army of their sponsors, you need to go through a very careful review.After all, no one wants to ruin their hard-earned reputation and signboard just because of a little money.

After the final voting results of the All-Star starting lineup were announced, the substitute lineup voted by the head coaches of the [-] Serie A teams this season was also released at the same time.As the overlord of Italian football in the past ten years, Fiorentina, which topped the standings this season, has naturally become the biggest winner.

With the starting and substitute lists already announced, Fiorentina has as many as 11 players selected for the first Serie A All-Star Game.They are Vieri, Inzaghi, Pirlo, Albertini, Nesta, Zambrotta, Buffon, Ballack, Roberto Carlos, Stam and Sun Jihai.

Being able to occupy a quarter of all 44 players in this Serie A All-Star Game (each team has 22 players), this shows the influence of Fiorentina in the hearts of fans and professionals.

I would like to add here that although Sun Jihai's selection was questioned by many people, none of the players in the Fiorentina team expressed any doubts about it.After all, no matter what, Sun Jihai is Fiorentina's "insider", and Ballack and the others are very happy to have another teammate with them who has a good understanding and ability in the All-Star Game.What's more, this can also increase their right to speak in the All-Star Game, allowing Zeman to pay more attention to their opinions when arranging troops.

So, since there are so many benefits, why do they still oppose Sun Jihai's nomination?
