Ajax deserve this bitter result. If Coleman’s coaching skill was too bloody and headstrong, which caused dissatisfaction among the players, and he didn’t have time to deal with several young players on the team, Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, the two pillars of the team, were at the same level and didn’t play each other, then the team in Group B would probably have Ajax’s name now.
After all, under all normal circumstances, it is difficult for the royal society to grab the qualification from Ajax, but unfortunately, with the outbreak of various contradictions, especially when Koman lost his prestige, Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart were not angry with each other, which once brought people several surprises. Ajax has become a team that can’t even play in the group stage.
Going out of the Champions League and bidding farewell to the European arena have brought Ajax more than huge economic losses, such as loss of business sponsorship and ticket income. Needless to say, the value of its players has been falling all the way because of this incident. For whatever reason, it is difficult for a team that can’t even make it to the Champions League group stage to sell their players at a good price, even if they had a remarkable performance in the previous season.
Especially Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, their infighting in Ajax has discouraged many clubs interested in them. After all, even talented players must know that they can’t seek their own interests at the expense of the team’s interests, let alone make the team a mess. Otherwise, wouldn’t they ask for it?
It is foreseeable that it will be impossible for Ajax to sell them at a high price if they don’t perform well in the 2008 European Cup in Portugal.
Florence lost two games in a row in the Champions League, but no one criticized Viola at this time, because everyone knew in their hearts that Florence could get the present results in this situation, and it was very difficult to switch to another team to play such a schedule, which might be a wave of Ngame losing streak.
Don’t say don’t just look at Florence during this period, except Turin, a newly promoted horse, which opponent is a generation change? Dynamo Kiev, which has home court advantage, is ready to work. AC Milan and Boca Juniors are not easy to deal with!
Now, although Florence has suffered two consecutive defeats in the Champions League, they have defeated the biggest competitor AC Milan in the league and stayed at the top of the standings. Moreover, as the top of the group, it pressed Royal Society to advance to the top 16 of the Champions League and won enough advantages in the final as far as possible. The most important thing is that Florence actually defeated Boca Juniors and won the Toyota Cup in the face of a weeklong double match!
Holy shit, how bad are these guys’ willpower? Can you play with us after losing only one game in this schedule? This is the only thought that comes to mind after all the potential rivals in Florence learn about Viola’s fighting experience during this period
I have to say that Florence’s strong bench depth and the players’ strong continuous fighting ability are vividly reflected at this time, which really shocked many teams. Now those clubs who are interested in Serie A champions sincerely hope that they will lose a battle in the Royal Society, and Viola will completely let go of this tone and give them a good chance to catch up with each other in the standings.
And those teams that may play Florence in the Champions League, I’m afraid they can’t have this expectation, because the Champions League semifinal will not be held until February next year, when Florence is expected to have adjusted its state and waited for them.
All these teams can pray in their hearts that when they meet Florence, these firstclass guys with willpower and ability in off the charts are not in good shape …
Shortly after the list of the top 16 in the Champions League was released, the first Serie A Star Tournament voting activity also came to an end. Sun Jihai, which has a huge football market in China, won more than 10 million votes. Not surprisingly, Roberto Baggio, who has decided to retire at the end of the season, came in second with 500,000 votes, and sadly passed the throne of the Star Tournament.
Many Baggio fans are naturally very dissatisfied with this, but there is nothing they can do to oppose this result. After all, the Italian Football Association has said that the first star will be voted by the fans. Since Sun Jihai has the most votes and all the votes are in line with the rules, he should naturally be the king of votes instead of pushing to lose this title in the socalled public opinion
If the Italian Football Association really cancels Sun Jihai’s star ticket title and his starting qualification because of these public opinions, it will cause irreparable damage to Serie A’s star reputation.
Although these fans still have a way to boycott the Star Tournament, don’t forget that this is the first and last Star Tournament in Roberto Baggio’s career. After missing this village, there is no such store.
Although these fans are very dissatisfied with Sun Jihai’s election, they can accept their fate. After all, if they miss Baggio’s premiere in the Star Game, it will be a lifelong regret for them.
Chapter 1221 Busy December (10)
Although Sun Jihai’s election as the Star Ticket King has aroused some fans’ dissatisfaction, the election of an Asian player as the Star Ticket King in Serie A has also become a good gimmick for the Italian Football Association to publicize, and it has indeed attracted many people’s attention. After all, people are always curious about something that is unreasonable.
Of course, this kind of thing can only happen once in a while. After all, although the Italian Football Association has been trying to promote the commercialization of Serie A by imitating the NBA on the other side of the ocean, it does not want to treat everything as a business like the NBA. For example, it is hoped that it will be reasonable for the Star Ticket King to eventually belong to the Italian Football Association. As far as possible, Sun Jihai, a ticket king deliberately brushed out by Chinese fans, will not appear.
I believe that I have learned enough lessons from the hosting of the Star Tournament. I am afraid that the Italian Football Association will not make such mistakes again once. They will definitely try their best to avoid this situation from happening again in the voting system.
However, these are the last words. For the fans of China, this Serie A Star Tournament is what they look forward to most in this December when they learn that Sun Jihai has been elected as the Star Ticket King and will be the first player to represent the World Star United, which is more than their attention to the NBA!
It is not surprising that such a situation will occur, not to mention that there is a huge gap between football and basketball in terms of influence, and the Houston Rockets where the little giant is located have a fairly average season performance. Van Gundy’s conservative and boring play is even more boring. Compared with Sun Jihai, who is a substitute in Florence, Viola is ashamed. European overlord Zambrotta is the first choice for Florence and the Italian national team at the right back! Sun Jihai can be the first substitute of Zambrotta in such a powerful club, but can’t he be said to be strong?
Moreover, compared with the little giant who was still a recruit in the NBA and didn’t get any outstanding honor, Sun Jihai, who has played in Florence for many years, has far surpassed the other team in terms of team honor. Needless to say, Florence won those big ear cups that symbolize the highest honor of European clubs after entering the new century, which eclipsed the Rockets, which have not reached the playoffs in the last four years but have won two championships.
What’s more, the football craze brought by the World Cup in 2002 has not yet ended in China, and the fans of China have not experienced the dark period in their previous lives, which made many of them give up supporting their country’s football. In addition, CCTV has broadcast Serie A since the early 1990s, which made the fans of China have a high degree of recognition of Serie A. Therefore, the influence of football and Serie A in China at this time is far from relying on the little giant, the first champion of China in history, to squeeze into the public view. NBA is comparable.
Because of the great difference in influence between football and basketball, there is very little contrast between Sun Jihai and Yao, so it is natural for Chinese fans to pay more attention to League One and the upcoming Serie A Star Tournament.
For this situation, david stern, president of NBA, is naturally very worried and bent on making the NBA ball. He managed to hit the China market with the influence of Jordan and Yao, but he was still easily defeated by football, the world’s first sport. At this moment, Stern is most fortunate that the Serie A star game date did not collide with the NBA star game. Otherwise, it is really unknown how many viewers Yao’s signboard will attract to the NBA, but these are all beside the point.
The news that Sun Jihai was selected as the first Serie A star starter and became the voting king greatly stimulated the promotion of Serie A in the Chinese market. Many new fans who just paid attention to football paid attention to the Fiorentina club where Sun Jihai played in Serie A at the first time and became loyal fans of Serie A and Fiorentina at this opportunity.
It is for this reason that many Chinese manufacturers who smell great business opportunities have taken the initiative to contact the Italian Football Association and Florence, hoping to reach a strategic partnership with them or sign a sponsorship contract, and take this opportunity to enhance their popularity and expand their market share in China.
According to endless statistics, the Italian Football Association, which was elected as the Queen of Star Tickets in Sun Jihai, had to open two extra large rooms and send commissioners to answer letters from these Chinese manufacturers and fans. Otherwise, it is unknown whether the Italian Football Association can work normally.
The Italian Football Association and Florence will naturally not do more to refuse this kind of initiative to send money, but they still need to go through a very careful and careful examination if they want to become an army of flag sponsors. After all, no one wants to destroy their hardearned fame and signs just because of a little money.
After the final voting results of the star starting lineup were announced, the substitute team was voted by the coaches of ten Serie A teams in the season, and it was also released at the same time. Florence, the dominant player in Italian football in the past decade, was the biggest winner.
As many as eleven players have been selected for the first Serie A Star Tournament in Florence, including vieri, Inzaghi, Pirlo, albertini, Sta, Zambrotta, Buffon, Ballack, Roberto Carlos, Stam and Sun Jihai.
Florence’s influence in the eyes of fans and professionals can be seen from the fact that it can occupy a quarter of the 44 players in the Serie A Star Tournament Department (each team has 22 players)
I would like to add here that although Sun Jihai’s selection was questioned by many people, none of the players in Florence questioned it. After all, Sun Jihai is Florence’s own Ballack, and they are all happy to have one more teammate who has enough tacit understanding with them and is not bad at the star game. This will also increase their words in the star game and make Zeman pay more attention to their opinions when arranging troops.
Since there are so many benefits, why do they oppose Sun Jihai’s entry?
Chapter 1222 Busy December (11)
As everyone reached an agreement on Sun Jihai’s being selected as a star, all Fiorentina players firmly expressed their support for Sun Jihai’s being selected in the media interview!
Sun (Sun Jihai) is a very powerful player. I have always been convinced that if gianluca (Zambrotta) is not too good, he will definitely become the main rightback of Florence. vieri’s evaluation of Sun Jihai is not high, and his sincere expression has really scared many fans and made the fans in China very excited.
See, even vieri, the great god, admitted that Sun Jihai thought he had the ability to be the main rightback of Florence, which proved that Sun Jihai was qualified to start as a star!
Although YY, a Chinese fan, makes people feel awkward, it is still necessary to say here that no matter which country’s fans are, they tend to show abnormal partiality in treating national stars. The most typical example is that English fans will firmly believe that England is the biggest favourite to win the championship and is also the strongest English national team in history in every international competition …
I really don’t know why these English fans have so much confidence in their national team. In Europe, there is only one club that they can win, Manchester United. Others, such as Liverpool and Arsenal, are mostly teams with greater fame than strength. Their record in Europe is poor, but Chen Ye is Liverpool’s fifth championship in one year. However, the only trophy that represents the honorary champion in Europe is the least valuable UEFA Cup in the three major European cups …
Like vieri, Starr, Pirlo, Ballack and other former teammates of Sun Jihai in Florence, such as Materazzi and Dibiagio, and even the captain of Inter Milan who lost the election, expressed their admiration for Sun Jihai and their optimism about his first Serie A star trip.
No matter what other people think, Sun Jihai is one of Florence’s own. How can we not help at this time? What’s more, it won’t cost you money to say a few good words, and you can win the favor of the fans in China. Why not do it conveniently? This is what most Fiorentina players (including Materazzi, Zati and other former Fiorentina players who played for Viola) thought when interviewed.
The same is true for Sadie. In the eyes of the Inter captain, since the star qualification has been related to himself, there is no need for him to dwell too much on this side. It is better to take the opportunity to get along well with each other and develop his popularity in China through this road.
I have to say that the fact that Sun Jihai was chosen as the Star Ticket King made many people realize for the first time the great power of Chinese football and the huge potential of its fan market, not to mention the fact that these fans can actually beat Roberto Baggio, who has great popularity in the world. Therefore, all the players and clubs who realized this have turned their attention to the far east and wondered whether they should go to the Far East in the summer of 2008. Even if you don’t make much money for the first time, it’s always good to get acquainted.
I would like to add here that with Sun Jihai becoming the starting rightback of the World Star United, Cafu and Sati had to leave a substitute place to compete fiercely. Finally, Sati was defeated by Cafu, who was less famous. Unfortunately, he fell outside the star game gate.
For this result, the captain of Inter Milan can smile bitterly. Who made Cafu lead Brazil to win the World Cup as the captain of the national team last year and take this opportunity to become famous and step into the ranks of top rightbacks?
You know, before Brazil won the World Cup, Cafu was just a good rightback in people’s eyes, otherwise he wouldn’t have played in Rome for so many years without attracting the attention of a big club.
Rui Costa also fell at the gate of the Star Tournament, but the Portuguese lost the election mainly because Kaka’s sudden emergence in the season made him lose his main position in AC Milan. At the same time, the Brazilian’s sunny appearance was also very popular with fans. These factors combined together and eventually led to his loss of qualification to participate in the first Serie A star.
If Sadie’s defeat was due to her business background and fame, and Rui Costa’s defeat was due to her precarious main position, then pierrot, the zebra king, was more due to his personal feud with Florence.
Because vieri and Inzaghi were selected as the star starters by the fans, if pierrot wants to participate in the star games, he can hope that the ten Serie A coaches Zhao and Capello will be in favor. After all, the star substitutes are first selected by the ten Serie A coaches to select two candidate lists with 20 players each, and then Capello and Zeman personally select eleven players who meet their wishes to determine the final star substitute list.
However, due to a series of unpleasant incidents between the World Cup in Korea and Japan and Florence players last year, and the longstanding hostility between Juventus and Florence, pierrot naturally became the public enemy of Florence players, and it is absolutely unforgivable.
