PS1: Today's update is here. I hope that all book friends don't care too much about the update time. I will guarantee that I will not stop updating...

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

Although Sun Jihai's election as the All-Star vote king has aroused some dissatisfaction among some fans, an Asian player's election as the All-Star vote king of Serie A has also become a good gimmick for the Italian Football Association to conduct external publicity, and it has indeed attracted a lot of attention. After all, people are always curious about some things that are not in line with common sense.

Of course, this kind of thing can happen occasionally. After all, although the Italian Football Association has been following the NBA on the other side of the ocean and striving to promote the commercialization of the Serie A, it does not want to treat everything as a business like the NBA. Therefore, in some things, such as the final ownership of the All-Star vote king, the Italian Football Association still hopes to be more reasonable and try not to show up like Sun Jihai, a vote king who was deliberately shot out by his own fans.

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

But these are all later stories. For Tianchao fans, when they learned that Sun Jihai was elected as the All-Star vote leader and will appear on behalf of the World Star United as the starting player, this Serie A All-Star Game is the festival they are most looking forward to in December, even surpassing their attention to the NBA!

It is not surprising that this situation will happen. Not to mention that there is a huge gap in influence between football and basketball itself, and the Houston Rockets where the little giants are located has also achieved quite average this season, and Van Gundy's conservative and dull style of play is even more boring. In contrast, although Sun Jihai is just a substitute in Fiorentina, Purple Lily is a well-deserved European overlord, and Zanbrotta is the first choice for Fiorentina and the Italian national team in the right back! Is it not to mention Sun Jihai's ability to be Zanbrotta's first substitute in such a powerful club?

Moreover, compared with the little giants who are just a recruit in the NBA and have not received any outstanding honors, Sun Jihai, who has played for many years, has far surpassed the other side in team honors. Not to mention, the Big Ear Cups that Florence won after entering the new century, which symbolizes the highest honor of European clubs, is enough to make the Rockets, which have not entered the playoffs in the past four years and have only won two championships since its founding.

What's more, the football craze brought by the 2002 World Cup has not completely receded in the Celestial Empire at this time, and the Celestial Empire fans have not yet experienced the dark period in which many of them gave up supporting their own football in their previous lives. In addition, because CCTV started broadcasting the Serie A League since the early 1990s, the Celestial Empire 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 comparable to that of the NBA, the first Celestial Empire pick in history, to squeeze into the public's vision.

Due to the huge difference in influence between football and basketball, and the extremely sharp contrast between Sun Jihai and Yao Ming, fans of the Celestial Dynasty naturally pay more attention to the League One and the upcoming Serie A All-Star Game.

NBA President David Stern was naturally very worried about this situation. He was determined to globalize the NBA and finally opened up the Chinese market with the influence of Jordan and Yao Ming, but he was still easily defeated by football, the world's number one sport. At this moment, Stern was most grateful that the date of the Serie A All-Star game did not collide with the NBA All-Star game, otherwise it would be unknown how many spectators Yao Ming's signature would attract to the NBA. But these are all off-topics, and that's enough.

The news that Sun Jihai was selected as the first All-Star starting lineup of the Serie A and became the vote leader greatly stimulated the promotion of the Serie A in the Celestial Market. Many new fans who were just beginning to pay attention to the Serie A and the Fiorentine Club where Sun Jihai played, and took this opportunity to become a loyal fan of Serie A and Fiorentine.

It is precisely because of this that many Chinese manufacturers who smelled huge 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, taking this opportunity to increase their popularity and expand their domestic market share.

According to incomplete statistics, after Sun Jihai was elected as the All-Star vote leader, the Italian Football Association had to open two additional rooms and dispatch specialists to reply to letters from these celestial manufacturers and fans. Otherwise, it would be unknown whether the Italian Football Association can still work normally.

The Italian Football Association and Florence naturally would not refuse such companies that actively give money to their doorsteps. However, if you want to become a member of their sponsors, you still need to go through a very careful and meticulous review. After all, no one wants to destroy the reputation and signs he has worked hard to build just because of a little money.

After the final voting results of the All-Star starting lineup were announced, the bench lineup voted by the head coaches of the 18 Serie A team this season was also released at the same time. As the overlord of Italian football in the past decade, Fiorentina, which ranked first in the standings this season, has naturally become the biggest winner.

With both the starting and substitute lists announced, Fiorentina has been selected for the first Serie A All-Star Game as many as eleven players. They are Vieri, Inzagi, Pirlo, Albertini, Nesta, Zambrota, Buffon, Barack, Robert Carlos, Stam and Sun Jihai.

It can occupy one-quarter of all forty-four players in this Serie A All-Star Game (each team has twenty-two players), which shows the influence of Fiorentina in the minds of fans and professionals.

Here we add that although Sun Jihai's selection was questioned by many people, the players in the Fiorentine team did not express any doubts about this. After all, Sun Jihai is a "personal person" of Fiorentine. Barack and others are happy to have an extra teammate who has enough tacit understanding and good abilities in the All-Star Game. What's more, this can increase their voice in the All-Star Game, allowing Zeman to pay more attention to their opinions when deploying troops.
