So many things have happened in football this year, so there have been a lot of changes in the transfer period and the game system.
First of all, the transfer deadline was postponed to August 31st, and the competition format was also postponed for more than a month, ending at the end of December.
This is to give the teams that are in shock more time to prepare, and also to not start the game when people are panicking, so that no one will come to watch.
Otherwise, Xiao Qi's signings would not be realized at all, and two or three months would not be enough to get the team ready to prepare for promotion next year.
Gao Bo traveled outside for two or three weeks and signed a total of 6 former national players, current national players, 8 Olympic team players, and 3 outstanding young players with potential. Only then did Shi Shiran return to Chengdu.
The Fairy Football Team here in Chengdu has retained a total of 5 players from the past. They are either good players who can be used as substitutes, or they are young and have potential for development.
The outside world has made calculations for the Fairy Football Team. If they do not sign foreign players in Europe and the United States, their games in the past few months will probably be just a run-in for the team, without any hope of promotion to the Chinese Super League.
After all, Fairy Football Team's predecessor, Shuchuan Football Team, is seriously behind in the Chinese Premier League. Unless they win a complete victory, there is no way to be promoted to the Chinese Super League.
However, at this time, the Fairy Football Team suddenly held a press conference to introduce the new domestic players and "surprising foreign players."
With the famous names of Fairy Company and Gao Bo's crazy signings in recent times, the sports reporters were very considerate, and the press conference room was full.
As a result, what they saw this time was that instead of Zhou Bo, a foreign middle-aged man in his forties sat on the rostrum with Gao Bo.
"Is this...Mr. Vandersee from Pepsi?"
"It seems so!"
"Why did Fairy Company even recruit him?"
"It's amazing! It reminds me of when Manchester United scouted Kenyon!"
"Haha, I'm even more looking forward to today's press conference!"
"..."
Because Pepsi-Cola often deals with the sports world, Van Desai's message spread throughout the venue in a short time.
At the beginning, when the various domestic players who joined were introduced, everyone was a little calm.
After all, in this information age, the players signed by Gao Bo have already been listed. Not to mention reporters, even the audience has seen it many times.
The general view among professionals is that although these nationally renowned players are all outstanding, they have never played together. The running-in period given to them is too short. The league restarts in September and takes less than a month.
With so much time, how can there be any good coordination?
So I should have a good result, but I should miss out on being promoted to the Chinese Super League.
After the introduction of the 17 domestic players, Van der See spoke for the first time.
"Thank you all for coming to our press conference. As the CEO of the club, we are honored to introduce to you today the two superstars in world football signed by Fairy Club."
"Wow..."
There was an uproar below.
The reporters, who couldn't keep calm, had already pointed their cameras at Van Desai and took a lot of photos.
It is not the highlight that Van Dessel is fluent in Mandarin. The highlight is that the "superstar of world football" is here.
The words spoken by Tangtang Fairy Company and Tangtang Fairy Football Club are definitely not bragging, right?
Van der See stood up and said loudly to the background: "Then let us welcome the first superstar, former German national team and Bayern main goalkeeper Oliver Rolf Kahn!!"
After he finished speaking, a rough foreign man with blond hair strode out.
Looking at his iconic long blond hair and very rough German face, almost all the reporters stood up.
The light of the camera flashed across the entire press conference as if it were threatening someone.
"Holy shit! Isn't it?"
"Awesome! So awesome! Xiao Qi is absolutely awesome!!"
"Tell me, what I saw is real! The Lion King! The Lion King is here!"
"Kahn, idol! Oh my god. You finally came to China to play a game!"
"Hey, hello, editor, I saw Kahn! Yes! He's on the Fairy Football Team! Kahn, who announced his retirement this year, actually returned to the court again!!"
A group of people started making noises, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely lively.
Kahn looked at the excitement of so many people. He opened his mouth wide and smiled, and said in awkward Chinese: "Hello everyone! I am Kahn! I am very happy to meet you!"
"Mr. Kahn, why did you come to China to play football?"
"Mr. Kahn..."
Reporters swarmed to ask questions, but Van Desai stopped them.
"Gentlemen, we have another superstar that we have not introduced. Please be patient. There will be a special time for questions later." Van Dessel said with a smile.
His persuasion was indeed very effective. Almost instantly, the reporters became silent and stared at the place where Kahn came out just now, guessing in their hearts which superstar it would be.
"Gentlemen and ladies!" Van der See introduced in a loud voice: "Please allow me the honor to introduce, former Portuguese superstar, Inter Milan player, 6-time Portuguese Footballer of the Year winner, World Footballer of the Year winner Luis Felipe
Ge!!”
"boom!"
A reporter standing on the last chair was so excited that he couldn't stand still and fell down.
This time no one could stop their noise, and the flash almost blinded Figo who had just walked out.
But Figo is also a battle-hardened player, so he still kept a smile on his face and stood next to Kahn, "Hi, friends, hello, I am Figo!"
"Mr. Figo, you are so handsome!"
"Figo, look over here, wow, I finally see Figo alive again!"
"Hahaha, I saw Figo in Real Madrid last time, and now he is our player. It's so cool!"
"With two big superstars, we won't have to worry about writing articles in the next year!"
"Yeah, now the Chengdu football market is going to be hot again. Who doesn't want to see the Lion King and the World Footballer?"
"Mr. Van Desai, hurry up, I can't wait and want to ask questions!"
"..."
The reporters' noisy excitement was different from the calm indifference of the domestic stars they had just seen.
The Chinese players who were already standing at the back looked at the two people in the front row with envy.
They were envious, but they didn't lose their minds.
No one of the two can be compared, nor can they be compared together.
One has guarded the goal for the German national team for 12 years and has an absolute captain's temperament. The other is the World Footballer who has played for several European giants.
Although one is 40 years old and the other is 37 years old, this does not diminish their aura at all.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper can only be regarded as a time of gradual decline. With the ability of a goalkeeper who is one of the best in the world, even if he is only half the strength, no goalkeeper in the country can compare with others.
Figo is not young at 37 years old, but he maintains his condition very well. When he retired this year, Inter Milan seriously tried to persuade him to keep him and wanted him to play for another year, but Figo refused.
Even a wealthy team like Inter Milan wants Figo to be a semi-main player, so what's wrong with playing in China?
Although this group of nationally-branded players are well-known in the country, compared to others, both in terms of reputation and strength, they are scum!
The press conference was broadcast live.
Originally Gao Bo wanted to keep a low profile, but Van Desai firmly believed that with Kahn and Figo here, it would be a major good news in the sports world and a good opportunity to increase the reputation of the Fairy Football Team, so he finally got in touch.
China Central Television Sports Channel launched a live broadcast.
Because it was the afternoon, there were not many people watching TV, but when Kahn and Figo appeared one after another, the ratings of the sports channel suddenly increased by 70%, and the ratings continued to increase. It was an explosion.
Ratings for all sports this month.
Compared to the reporters, the fans are the most excited.
"Oh my God, what kind of wind is it that brought these two superstars to China? My heart skips a beat just thinking about watching Kahn and Figo play every week!"
"Holy shit! How much did Xiao Qi spend to invite Figo and Kahn to the Fairy Football Team? No matter! It's not my money anyway, I just want to see them play!"
"Now the Chinese football world is about to be shaken! This is what superstars are joining. Compared with the previous gimmicks of the Chinese Super League, it is completely on a different level, okay? That's great, Xiao Qi!!"
"I think it is possible for the Fairy Football Team to be promoted to the Chinese Super League this year! Isn't it just a matter of winning all the remaining matches? With Kahn here, how many Chinese forwards can break their goals? With Figo's threading and free kick skills, there are
With so many nationally renowned players cooperating, how many Chinese Super League teams can withstand their attacks? Let alone the Chinese Premier League!"
"This brother is right, I think there is still something to play! Let's see if Fairy Football can create a miracle!"
"Wow hahaha, as a person from Chengdu, I feel so happy! I can see them playing football live every time. It feels great!"
"I said I would buy a half-season ticket package immediately. It is said that I still need to pay the price difference for the tickets I bought before. Boss Xiao is really unkind."
"Just be content, you still have the opportunity to buy package tickets. What about us fans from out of town? We can't fly here for every game, right?"
"You're right! I'm going to line up right here! Figo, I'm coming! Kahn, I'm coming!!"
"Kill these showoff guys!!"
"..."
Everyone was so happy that they seemed to have forgotten that they were worried about what would happen to Chinese football just a few days ago.
Now they finally understand that with the richest man in the world, he can turn decay into miraculous means, which he can use for you in minutes!
Fairy Football Club, well done!! (To be continued.)
