my name is ferguson

Li Cha doesn't know much about the Club World Cup. After all, this is not a schedule that the whole world pays attention to. Regarding the competition system of the Club World Cup, he just took a quick look at the information provided by Boas before coming. With Boas by his side , Li Cha feels very comfortable doing everything, because he can always think of you and prepare everything for you.The question of why there are 2008 teams participating in this and the 7 Club World Cup is very clear to Richard from the Club World Cup competition system provided by Boas. The champions will face off first, and the winners will form four teams with the champions from the three continents of Asia, Africa, Central North America and the Caribbean. They will compete team by team, and two winners will be determined to enter the semi-finals. The European and South American club champions will directly enter the semi-finals , respectively, against the other two teams, the winner will join the final.

I understand, Li Cha completely understands this time, the Urawa Red Diamonds are not only the champion of the AFC Champions League, but also the champion of the domestic league in Japan, the host country, a team cannot occupy two places, so the runner-up of the AFC Champions League Pahan made up for it, so that the runner-up in the league played.

And when the Club World Cup was changed to the United Arab Emirates in 2009, this kind of situation rarely happened. That is to say, if the host league champion won the intercontinental championship at the same time, the intercontinental cup runner-up would naturally make up for it. .

When Li Cha led the players out of the airport, he did not expect Burleigh's popularity to be so high in Japan. Ronaldinho, Van Persie, Messi, Ribery and other Burleigh players were greeted by fans holding their posters Not only that, but the reporters on the outside were actually blocked by the fans behind the crowd, and couldn't get in without saying anything.

When Li Cha led the players out from the airport, he was about to instruct the players to accept interviews as little as possible and go back to the hotel to rest and accumulate energy, when a reporter squeezed over from the crowd with an interpreter: "Mr. Li Cha, Mr. Li Cha..." [

Li Cha's face immediately sank, he ignored it at all, and led the players towards the outside of the airport.The moment he walked out of the airport, Li Cha was dumbfounded.

Outside the airport, several fans raised their middle fingers at the Highbury Stadium to welcome the tens of thousands of Gunners fans who cursed at the poster. In the poster, Li Cha, who was still a rookie in football at the time, was full of vigor.

"boarding!"

Seeing this scene, Li Cha felt a little complicated. He once hated this country for refusing to admit its invasion and its defeat at the Yasukuni Shrine. He was also like an angry youth who spoke to these stinky and shameless political leaders on forums with unknown European foreigners. Outraged.But today, he can't connect the fans of this country with those shameless people. Football can always resolve hatred inadvertently.

Hey.

Li Cha sighed, looking at the bus parked in front of the airport, he did not reach out his hand to any fans.Instead, he was the first to pull the suitcase and board the bus.

beep

At this moment, Li Cha's phone rang, and the caller was Charlotte.

"Go to Japan? I have something to tell you..."

"I'm sorry, honey, I'm a little messed up now, I don't want to talk, so I'll call you back later."

Li Cha hung up the phone, looked at the fans shouting "ool!" towards Li Cha's position on the bus, and silently closed his eyes.

In Japan, the confrontation between politicians and the Celestial Empire is an important policy for winning votes. Can these be associated with Japanese fans?Li Cha didn't know that he couldn't like those fans who liked him and would rather wait outside the airport with their posters up. Maybe he couldn't love anything with the word Japan in his life.

"Boss, why are you walking so fast, the most fans are picking you up outside." Boas said with a smile after getting into the car.

Li Cha shook his head and said nothing. When everyone boarded the bus, Li Cha closed the curtain and waited quietly for the bus to open.

Burleigh's first stop is Yokohama, which is the venue for the final.The champions of the European Champions Cup and Copa Libertadores do not need to participate in the quarter-finals, they can directly advance to the finals and become the main challengers, while other teams will compete in Tokyo and Toyota City to qualify for Yokohama.

before that.Urawa Red Diamonds performed very well in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup. They defeated Sepahan, who won the first game, and even scored a score of 3:1. Burleigh is waiting for the challenge of Urawa Red Diamonds in Yokohama. After the semi-finals, Richard can be sure that his team will face Boca Juniors in Yokohama to decide who is the king of the world.

However, when Li Cha entered Yokohama and arranged the players in the hotel, he couldn't rest, because Mendes helped him arrange a business press conference. Asian reporters gathered here to ask the champion of the new Champions League. The inspector replied that it was as simple as that. The income of this press conference unexpectedly reached 300 million US dollars.Mendes is quite dark. He has never received money for his press conferences in England. Mendes has just set foot in Japan and killed the little Japanese for himself.

It's no wonder Mendes, who made Li Cha's performance in press conferences so outstanding?And he still has a convulsive moment when he does not attend the press conference. When the organizer of the Club World Cup and the Japanese businessman want to let Richard take time to hold a business press conference before the start of the game to entertain the Japanese fans, Mendes directly quotes 500.Mendes knows that even the amount of 500 million is just a small amount of money in Li Cha's eyes, but it can show his ability. Others will help you find endorsements to make money. I, Mendes, can let you Make money at press conferences, get your hands on big bucks without having to shoot goddamn commercials.

Mendes' lion's big mouth made Japanese businessmen a little embarrassed. In the end, the two parties negotiated and priced it at 300 million. In addition, Toyota Motor will also sponsor a car for each player and head coach of Burleigh Club. [

Thinking of this, Mendes called Richard, who immediately agreed: "Yes, why not? Let Toyota ship all these cars to England. In addition, the club will add a mandatory rule starting today. Any player Do not drive a Toyota in public at any time..."

This is too bad. A press conference not only cheated Japanese businessmen of their money, but also abducted Toyota’s cars, and did not advertise for Toyota. Richard did not let the players drive. The players could only give it away or sell it. This is tantamount to cheating Japan of a sum of money...

Mendes has always believed that Richard left all the advertising space. In Mendes' view, this intention is to remind him that there are no giants in the auto industry to sponsor Burleigh, should you do me a favor? ? 'Mendez is not only Richard's agent now.He is almost the agent of most of Burleigh's teams. Can he run for Burleigh's sponsorship to improve the team's image?Originally, Mendes wanted to discuss with Toyota through this incident of Toyota's gift car, whether to sponsor Burleigh, but Li Cha didn't like it... Mendes immediately gave up after hearing what Li Cha said. Personally followed Li Cha to Japan to complete the idea of ​​commercial activities, and flew straight to Germany by plane.These players under Li Cha's hands are now cash cows, such as Messi and Van Persie.Endorsement activities continued. After Jorge returned to Spain, Messi's agent job fell into the hands of Mendes. Mendes would give half of Messi's commercial contract to his father. Xi has completely become the king of business in his hands, do you think he can not satisfy Richard's request?

Li Cha, who had just walked out of the hotel room, was sent by the organizer of the business press conference to take him to Yokohama Mariners Club's home stadium, Yokohama International Arena.The moment Richard entered the stadium, he saw several Japanese fans and several Asian media. On the top of the stadium, there were at least ten huge LED screens, which was for everyone in the stadium to see clearly. Clear Li Cha's appearance.

After seeing this scene, Li Cha nodded and said, "This Mendes is really good at making money. Can we also hold this kind of business-style press conference in England in the future? I have a verbal fight with reporters at the press conference site, so that the fans Buy tickets to watch..."

"Dear audience. Please welcome the European Champions Cup champion, the chairman and head coach of Burleigh Club, Mr. Richard Ferguson!"

When the host finished shouting this sentence, Li Cha just walked from the player tunnel to the high platform in the middle of the stadium. The moment he climbed onto the high platform and stood in front of all the Japanese fans, there was thunderous applause.Why did Li Cha suddenly feel like an international superstar joining a new club?He immediately grabbed the host's microphone and said, "First of all, I'm not here to coach the Yokohama Mariners..."

The audience was actually amused by Li Cha's words, and applauded.The laughter continued.

The host took another microphone from the staff and said to Li Cha: "Mr. Li Cha, I invite you here today because I want you to help Japanese fans understand European football better, and I also want you to give some advice to the Japanese national team." , How to make the Japanese national team achieve better results in the World Cup is what we urgently hope. Can you help us?"

The Japanese always give you a very humble attitude, but Li Cha couldn't be happier when he saw the Japanese's modesty.His mind is full of images of anti-war movies...

"Football in Japan... is developing very fast. In Japan, almost every elementary school, middle school, and high school has a lighted stadium. After the day's lessons, Japanese children will play football collectively. Children of different ages raise Different stadiums, I have to say that football in Japan is developing very fast. Once young children play a small field, what they fight is not their body, but their skills. Therefore, I can predict that in the future, there will be a lot of football in Japan A group of stars entered the European arena, yes, I am talking about a group, especially in the German arena, the Japanese can almost often be seen..."

The Japanese fans excitedly said to the people next to them: "Listen to Li Cha's praise of us!"

"Through training from a young age, football in Japan has developed very fast, and the sports competition driven by Japanese comics has also played a very important role. The slam dunk has brought a group of people who love basketball in Japan, and the young football player has made Japan another A group of people who love football emerged, and the Prince of Tennis also created another group of sports fans... It can be said that Japan's attitude towards football is very unique in Asia. South Korea is also a strong Asian team. Their development with Japan It's not the same, there is also the Celestial Dynasty, hey..."

Li Cha sighed when he said this.

Then he continued: "But I want to say, are you thinking too much?"

"I remember one of your leaders said that Japan's goal is to win the World Cup in 2050. Your words are definitely not crazy. Maybe I can say that if you don't have a huge neighbor, these things may really be possible. , but... You may not believe this, but I think that you will be trampled underfoot by the celestial dynasty in the near future."

As soon as this sentence came out, the Japanese media immediately jumped out and said angrily: "You are talking about the Celestial Dynasty? Are you kidding me!"

At this moment, Li Cha became calm instead: "A joke? No, I'm definitely not joking!"

"The United States has become the world's most powerful country for 200 years since its founding, and the outbreak of a financial crisis has made the United States completely indebted. At this time, the United States has already regarded China as its biggest competitor. How long has China been founding? Japanese and Korean football are ahead Asia, when did you have a professional league? China did not enter the professional league until 1994! It took only 60 years for China to catch up with the United States, which was founded 200 years ago. After 50 years, it can’t catch up with Japan? I didn’t say China Surpassed the United States, I said catch up!"

"You can say that Chinese football is dark, you can say that Chinese football is chaotic. But I want to ask you, which country in the world has not seen these things? Who dares to say, stand up!"

"Which country has never played match-fixing, which country's referees have not accepted bribes, which football association, the football is always fucking clean!"

The Japanese reporter was dumbfounded.Because what China is going through, any country in the world has gone through: "But Japan will still make progress!" The Japanese reporter finally quibbled. [

"Yes, of course Japan will make progress. Has the United States been regressing? Is the subprime mortgage crisis a sign of America's regress? Not necessarily!"

"Fans in Japan, South Korea, and even China's own football are scolding China's football. When the scolding hurts, the scolding wakes up, the sky is angry and people complain, and a new era will come. Isn't the renewal of China always like this?"

"You asked me to talk about Japanese football, so I will talk about Asian football first. This must mention Chinese football. Why did Chinese football appear as a strong player at the beginning but quickly sink? Who knows the history of China? You tell me the history of the dynasty. When did the prosperous ages of the past dynasties appear? They all occurred within a few decades after the reunification, the rule of Zhenguan, the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong, the two kings who opened the Ming Dynasty... What happened next? Step by step from the peak to the sinking. When another new The dynasties are established, across the sea of ​​your country, in that invisible place, there must be eleven giants standing up!"

"Anyone can despise my words. They can think that I am alarmist in Japan, so let's wait and see. Don't you want to win the championship in 2050? Then let's see whether Japan will still be a football power after 2050. China will I will not be your worst enemy!"

There were no reporters to refute, and there were crows in the stadium.

No one applauded, no one applauded, and no one laughed.

At this moment, Li Cha looked at everyone and gasped for breath. He had been in a bad mood since he stepped into this land. After venting once, he felt much happier.

At this moment, a reporter stood up: "Mr. Li Cha, I am from the opposite side of the sea. I am the reporter responsible for the interview. What I said to you is full of passion. I didn't expect you to like Chinese football so much..."

"Shut up, shut up!!!"

Li Cha turned his head and yelled like a vicious dog: "Celestial football is first corrupted in the system, and the second is the stinking mouth of your media!"

"It's not that bad yet. If you win a friendly match, you will blow it up. If you lose two games to South Korea, you will be Korean-phobic. If the players perform well, they will praise them. If they do not perform well, they will scold them with the fans. It doesn't matter who you scold. Have a good time! Have you actually reported the facts once? When the boys lost the game, how many people reported their efforts on the field? When China Football won the game, did any of you see the shortcomings? The system You can't change the problem, can't you put everything out!"

"If sports reporters frequently expose bribery incidents, instead of following the players every day to see who is in love with whom, who is fighting with whom, and who is going to a bar with whom, can anyone deal with this group of corrupt bastards? Egg!"

"I like Tianchao, hahahaha, I like Tianchao football, I like to have a fart!"

"Do Chinese fans still believe in the national football team after being fooled by your group of media? Before the Chinese national football team starts, you must win, you must win, and when you come back, you will scold the players if you lose, and praise the coach if you win. Is it the mouth?"

"Yes, China's football is in a period of chaos, but what is the bounden duty of a reporter? It is to report the truth! Otherwise, what are you calling the king of crowns!"

Li Cha looked at the reporter and at all the Japanese fans, completely ignoring his image and not yelling: "Without you, the fans would never be what they are now. Without you, the Workers' Stadium would never be full of curses. Without you, Tomorrow will be in the World Cup." In the arena, when the disheveled ones come back, those who talk about cross talk, make sketches, and sing Errenzhuan will not treat the national football as a joke!"

"Football in a country is treated as a joke. You still don't think about what role the media has played in the middle. I really feel sad, utterly sad!"

The Chinese reporter who was scolded stood up and said very aggrieved: "Are there some problems that we can solve?"

"Who asked you to solve the problem? Your responsibility is to expose the problem!"

"Is this a group of idiots who put on the crown king's hat? I, I..."

bump!

Li Cha threw the microphone on the high platform in the stadium, turned around, and walked away!

The 300 million press conference ended in less than 10 minutes. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)

ps: There must be a few people who don't like this chapter, and there will be some mistakes, but I still have to write it out and tell what I think. Yes, I have always thought so. Every game of the national football team Must-see, no matter how angry you are, you will insist on watching it, but, my point is, in fact, there are 11 hard-working people on the court in every game, and each of them does not want to lose when they represent the national team. For me, that's enough, I don't care what anyone else thinks.Of course, a virtue that does not write about the national football team can at most talk about my own thoughts, which has reached the bottom line. Next, the Club World Cup!
