The Era of Emerald

() So, in the following days, Zhuang Mingge accompanied the playful little Grosz to travel almost all over France, starting from Marseille, Monaco, Cannes, Lyon, Paris, Nice, Bordeaux... these famous cities Played by the two of them for a while, Zhuang Minge seemed to feel that Little Groz was planning something, but whenever Zhuang Mingge asked, Little Groz always said with a mysterious face:

"This is a secret~"

In this way, the time came to August 1995th, 8 without knowing it.

On this day, Zhuang Mingge and Groz Jr. came to the last stop of their trip to France. At the same time, a certain company in this city was the fundamental reason for them to come to France this time—Lyon.

The specific details of playing in Lyon will not be described too much in this article. The reason for writing this day is because tonight, Fiorentina will usher in the first game of the 1995-96 season, which is against Italy last season. Italian Super Cup between Cup winners Juventus.

To be honest, Zhuang Mingge really feels that the Italian Football Association has done a poor job of commercializing the league in his country. It has been seven years since the Italian Super Cup was held for the first time in the summer of 1988. An event that represents the peak duel between the league champion and the cup champion, its influence is actually not as good as the Coppa Italia itself!What a dereliction of duty!

Even though the Italian Super Cup was held outside Italy for the first time in 93, Zhuang Mingge couldn't complain about the location chosen by the Italian Football Association: he actually chose Washington, the capital of the United States!

Not to mention that people in the United States pay more attention to baseball, rugby, ice hockey, and basketball. Compared with football, which requires more teamwork, Americans prefer to see individual heroism and the individual excellence of players. Performance, and the United States in 93 has not experienced the "popularity" of the World Cup. Many Americans may not even know what the so-called "English football" is. The cheating location chosen by the Italian Football Association is enough to make Zhuang Mingge scold It's been half an hour.

From a certain point of view, no matter what type of game you want to hold in the United States, it is the safest to choose New York and Los Angeles. First of all, because the development of these two cities and the attention of the media are enough for anyone Become famous overnight because of a small incident.

To give the simplest example, take Jeremy Lin more than a year ago. The reason why "Lin Xuanfeng" can be so crazy is that Jeremy Lin played in the New York Knicks. A random report in New York , it will be able to radiate the whole United States, which is unmatched by other cities.If he was playing in a small city, no one would pay him any attention.

Secondly, the population of these two cities is also the largest in the United States, and the number of wealthy people is also one of the best. If the Super Bowl is chosen in a big city like New York, at least the attendance of the stadium can be guaranteed. How many people are there in the entire Washington DC? 50!Not even a fraction of New York!

Therefore, when the Italian Football Association is carrying out brand promotion, many of the choices made by Zhuang Mingge are stupid actions in the eyes of a layman...

This also directly led Italian clubs to regard the Super Cup as a warm-up tasteless event, and fans did not buy it very much, and the Italian Football Association did not intend to make more attempts until later Real Madrid, Manchester United and other giants teams After making a lot of money in East Asia, the Italians, belatedly, hastily moved the venue of the Super Cup to China...

Forget about complaining, in a word, the Italian Football Association has contributed a lot to the decline of Italian football.

On the night of the 13th, Zhuang Mingge didn't go out, but honestly turned on the TV, and while using the remote control to tune to a channel that can watch the Italian Super Cup, he prepared to watch his team's first game of the season, while facing All kinds of stupid actions of the Italian Football Association complained.

At this time, players from both sides have already started to enter the field. For Fiorentina, Ranieri still basically used the main lineup that won the double crown last season, but the captain of this game was changed from Batty to Effenberg. Ranieri does not intend to let the "God of War" who just played in the Perfect Asian Cup not long ago play in this game, and another superstar Roberto Baggio was suspended early in July due to a recurrence of an old injury Therefore, Fiorentina's starting striker combination has become Ronaldo and Philippe Inzaghi. Ronaldo, the golden boot of the Eredivisie, after all, in terms of scoring ability, the Brazilian is obviously more reliable.

Juventus's starting lineup has changed a lot. Last season's main central defender Koller transferred freely after his contract expired this summer and returned to his hometown in Germany. The old fox Mo was caught off guard by Koller's decision. Squinting his eyes and scanning the entire European football world, he got the main defender Laurent Blanc of the French national team from the relegated Ligue [-] team Saint-Etienne; the arrival of Jugovic and Lombardo made him Lippi's formation in the midfield is more comfortable. In this game, "Silver Fox" put these two rookies together in the starting list, which does not mean to let them integrate into the team as soon as possible. Didier Deschamps and Di Livio It is the other two Juventus midfielders; on the front line, Juventus still unswervingly sent a combination of Del Piero and Vialli.

From Lippi's formation in this game, it can be seen that the "Silver Fox" does not pay much attention to the Italian Super Cup, otherwise he would not send three rookies who have never officially represented Juventus to start the game After all, doing so will easily cause unnecessary mistakes in both offense and defense, and what Florence's two forwards are best at is to seize this kind of opportunity...

Just when Zhuang Mingge was ready to enjoy the game with great interest, the doorbell of his room rang.

Zhuang Mingge had no choice but to look away from the TV with reluctance, walked to the door, opened the door abruptly, and asked with his head, "Who is knocking... the pain!"

"It hurts!"

Zhuang Minge covered his forehead, looked at the little Groz who was also covering his head with his hands, and said depressedly: "Rebecca, didn't I tell you before? I want to watch the Super Bowl tonight."

"I know, after thinking about it just now, I think Antonio watching the game by yourself is too boring, so Miss Ben came here to accompany you, thank you~"

"Really? Then, my dear Miss Rebecca, who is your favorite Italian football star?"

"Of course Roberto Baggio from Juventus!"
