Chapter 513 You have to be reserved to be handsome
Athens is the capital of Greece, the cradle of Western civilization, the birthplace of European philosophy, the origin of democracy, and the origin of the modern Olympic Games. A place with such a historical and cultural background will definitely become the most desirable place in Europe. one of the cities.

At this time, Athens is already full of gunpowder, and football topics are everywhere.

From the Athens International Airport to the Olympic Stadium, blue and white game posters and exquisite oil-painted posters appeared continuously on the tens of kilometers of roads, as if they were leading the way for fans.

When the bus drives into the city, you can see colorful flags with game posters, blue and white flags, Champions League flags hanging everywhere, and standard UEFA promotional pictures.

The above are the publicity of the Athens organizers.

Such an overwhelming publicity will definitely require huge advertising expenditures. Hosting the Champions League final is not a money-losing business. The organizers can compensate for advertising investment through various channels such as ticket sales, tournament sponsorship, and broadcast sharing.

The sale of ball tickets alone is a big profit.

At the Olympic Stadium in Athens, the official price of tickets on the day of the match is 7 Euros. The stadium has a capacity of 500 people. With a price of [-] Euros, the ticket revenue for the day can reach [-] million Euros. .

This is still the lowest calculation method.

For example, the front row and the seats near the center of the rostrum are all VIP seats, and the price is more than [-] euros, and some can even exceed [-] euros. It is not that the tickets with such a high price cannot be sold, on the contrary. It was sold out early.

More than a week before the game, official tickets were sold out.

England fans are big patrons.

It must be rare for two English teams to play in the Champions League final in decades. The Olympic Stadium will definitely welcome a large number of English fans.

Since two days ago, a large number of England fans have come to Athens by plane. In order to allow the fans to fly to Athens without being temporarily unable to buy air tickets, London International Airport and Athens International Airport have temporarily added two A dozen flights.

The arrival of a large number of England fans made the Athens organizers happy, because England fans are here to consume, and they must eat and live in the city of Athens, which is equivalent to increasing the income of Athens, which is beneficial to the development of the city of.

At the same time, Athens also had to face difficulties.

There are now more than 24 police officers patrolling the streets of the city [-] hours a day to maintain law and order in Athens.

Athens, the capital of Greece, is one of the commercial and political centers of Europe. However, in fact, the population is not large. So far, it has only less than 75 people. If it receives more than one-tenth of the population at once, it will make Cities are busy and congested.

Millwall's bus drove into Athens in this atmosphere.

When it got close to the city center, it became very difficult for the bus to move forward. There were fans everywhere, including Millwall fans who came to welcome them. Most of them were watching the excitement. The number of local fans in Athens was relatively large Many, they don't care whether the bus can pass or not, they just gather around the car to get an autograph or a group photo, or to do something.

The Athens Police Department had to send an additional team of police officers to help the bus clear the road, so that Millwall could reach the booked hotel smoothly.

It's been so enthusiastic.

The Millwall players were a little scared. The distance from the airport to the hotel was not too far, and it took more than half an hour. They didn't expect to be stuck on the road for an hour.

Meanwhile, the players are excited.

This is the real big stage!
Surrounded by so many fans, it also proves their attention, and they will show themselves in front of fans all over the world.

----

After the whole team arrived at the hotel, it was time to rest and prepare for dinner.

According to the arrangement of the coaching staff, there will be a tactical explanation at [-] o'clock in the evening, so that the players can deepen their memory of "how to play" and let them discuss with each other.

After the tactical class is over, you can rest again.

The day before the game, the whole team mainly needed to recover their energy. It didn’t take long to fly from London to Athens, but waiting for the plane, taking the bus, etc. was also a long journey. The whole process took nearly three hours. For an hour and a half, everyone felt a bit tired, more or less.

Zhang Yang told the players to take a good rest and forbade them to leave the hotel gate.

The hotel is still safe.

It's different outside the hotel. It's not that the players' personal safety is threatened. The main reason is that the fans outside are too enthusiastic. There are fans everywhere outside the hotel. recognize.

Those players who want to go shopping, let's find their own time and come again.

Zhang Yang returned to the room.

He has his own room. Generally speaking, two people will share a room when they go out to play. Generally, the head coach will share a room with other assistant coaches.

It is not easy for Zhang Yang to find a roommate.

Zhang Yang likes to be in contact with peers, and peers have many topics to talk about, but his three choices - Wise, Wilkinson and Richardson are not of the same age, and it is very sad to live with them.

Wise, elm-headed, it's okay to talk to him about work, nothing else.

Wilkinson, ahem...

Living with Wilkinson, Zhang Yang will worry about having nightmares, and no one wants to be with a guy with a non-human appearance for a long time.

Richardson, too rigid.

Although they had a lot of contact with Richarson, they were not familiar with each other. Richarson seemed to be a salesman, dressed in a suit and tie all day long, and his leather shoes were polished.

Zhang Yang will also dress up, but he will not be so harsh. He suspects that Richarson has a cleanliness fetish, and his pale face is also a bit like a vampire in a British fantasy story.

In short, all three options are not good.

Zhang Yang is not opposed to living in the same room with the players, but almost no players are willing to be with him.

This is very embarrassing.

Sleeping alone in a room seemed much quieter. Zhang Yang half-lyed on the bed, picked up his phone to play a small game to pass the time, and suddenly remembered that his father Zhang Zhongyi was coming.

"Should they be in Athens?"

Zhang Yang hesitated for a while, but still made a phone call to inquire. The phone suddenly lit up, and an unfamiliar number was displayed on it. He turned on the answer button and asked, "How are you?"

"Yangyang, it's me!"

As soon as Zhang Yang heard the voice, he knew it was his father. After thinking about it, it became clear that domestic mobile phones might not work in Greece. He immediately said, "I'm about to call. Have you arrived in Athens yet?"

"It's here! I'm about to tell you this!" Zhang Zhongyi's voice was a little anxious, "I bought three tickets in advance, and I agreed to pay [-] euros each, but they set the price on the floor and planned to ask for [-] euros each. "

His voice was bitter, "I don't want to take this loss, but there's nothing I can do, otherwise I won't be able to watch your game tomorrow. Wait a while, and I'll talk to them again!"

Zhang Yang understood as soon as he heard it.

It was too late for Zhang Zhongyi to book the tickets, so he could only buy scalper tickets from the local ticket dealers. It was already the day before the game, and the ticket dealers only had a few tickets in their hands, so they didn't have to worry about selling them. The one thousand tickets mentioned earlier One euro is probably a scam.

Zhang Yang didn't know the price of the scalper tickets outside, but the official normal fare must be more than [-] euros, and the scalper ticket is only [-] euros, which is simply impossible.

Three thousand euros is still a bit too expensive.

At this price, you can buy the best VIP seats in the audience stands. The local scalpers in Athens are really a bit too dark.

Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "Don't worry. I'll go and ask for a few in a while, and you can get them from me. I'll talk to the security guard and let you in."

"Can you get tickets?"

"..." Zhang Yang twitched the corner of his mouth and reminded, "My team is going to participate in the competition."

"Yup!"

Zhang Zhongyi felt relieved now.

Zhang Yang explained the address, put down the phone and walked out of the room, found Wilkinson and asked for a few tickets.

Generally, when a team participates in a game, it will be allocated some "internal tickets" for the relatives of the players to watch the game. Some players can use it, and some are useless. Wilkinson must have extra tickets in his hand.

If these tickets cannot be used, they will be temporarily given to other people.

Wilkinson still had a lot of tickets in his hand. He took out three tickets and handed them to Zhang Yang, and asked with some doubts, "Do you have friends to watch the game?"

"family."

"family?"

"My father and younger brother." Zhang Yang skipped "cheap stepmother" because it was troublesome to explain to Wilkinson.

Wilkinson's attitude suddenly changed. He went to the table to pick up the bag, and pulled out an exquisite cardboard package, which looked a bit like an invitation and a bit like a gift card.

That's a ticket.

Different from the style of ordinary players, it feels a bit like an invitation card, and there is a magnetic card in the middle with a picture of the Olympic Stadium printed on it.

"This is a ticket for the VIP box."

Wilkinson explained, "Originally my uncle was going to watch the game. I booked a VIP box, but my uncle couldn't come because of something."

Zhang Yang came to a sudden.

I heard that Prince Mossad was going to watch the game in Athens, but there was no news when the game was approaching, and he didn't care too much. After all, Prince Mossad was not in the club most of the time. Going to Athens to watch the game is just to meet. No big deal either.

Now it seems that Prince Mossad is not coming.

This is good news, because the tickets for the VIP box can be used by his family members. Zhang Yang took it with a smile on his face, and suddenly found that Wilkinson became much more pleasing to the eye.

Wilkinson did not forget to remind, "It says the entry time, which should be an hour earlier than normal fans, so that your family can enter the stadium earlier, and you can walk around the stadium. That card is the door card." , some prohibited railings, you can swipe your card to enter."

"You can even meet your family members on the court."

Like a bumpkin, Wilkinson explained the benefits of the VIP box in detail, which immediately made Zhang Yang feel a little uncomfortable.

Although Zhang Yang really didn't know, he had to be reserved when he said it. He turned his head and looked at it with disgust on his face. At the same time, he raised Wilkinson's ugliness index in his heart.
