Chapter 399 The opening match begins (daily transition)
There are 4 days left until the opening ceremony of the 2017 Confederations Cup.
Li Kang, who had no training mission, arrived in Moscow accompanied by staff.
The Russian capital is cool and pleasant in June.
The assistant flipped through his phone and repeated the handmade products he wanted to buy.
"I made a note of it. I want to buy Russian matryoshka dolls, carp lanterns, and Matrichka."
Of course, the main purpose is not to come here to buy specialty products.
Instead, Li Kang and Messi jointly became the protagonists of Mengniu Dairy's 2018 World Cup advertising.
Since 1930, a dairy brand has appeared in the World Cup sponsor list for the first time.
...
Shooting base.
Messi simply waved hello.
He hesitated to speak and just touched his ears shyly.
How can there be a picture of a superstar?
"Li, your injury..."
Li Kang shook his head, indicating that it was nothing serious.
"Barcelona is different from before..."
It is indeed different. As Cruyff's most admired disciple, Valverde has created the best defensive and most balanced Barcelona in the past 20 years.
Messi also truly attacked the core attacker from the right side, deeply transforming into a midfield organizer.
His position was moved back, and he was sitting on the central axis doing the work of "Xavi Iniesta" by himself. Although it was tiring, his organization and connection ability, passing and stopping accuracy, game reading, vision, imagination... ushered in
made leaps and bounds of progress.
Barcelona fans were very unhappy. They launched attacks one after another, thinking that Valverde would use Messi up.
Bang bang bang!
The bearded director applauded vigorously, interrupting Messi's "village, partner, bond".
"Everyone is here! Hurry up and get to work!"
...
Shooting content is very simple.
Messi lay on his back on the turf.
Later, a narration will be added: "I am Leo Messi, I..."
But Li Kang just wore a plaster and tried a few volleys.
Mengniu Dairy’s promotional theme for the 2018 World Cup is “Born to Be Strong”.
Messi, who has grown from dwarfism to a football giant, and the core of the Gunners who played in bandages in the Champions League final, these two are the most suitable for this theme.
On the occasion of parting.
The bearded director took out Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and Atletico Madrid jerseys from his bag, and diligently handed over the signature pen.
Li Kang smiled and shook his head.
The little assistant looked disgusted: "You can sign it after the transfer is completed. There is no number on this jersey! Didn't you say you were an Arsenal fan last time?"
The bearded director looked serious: "Which club Li goes to, I will be a fan of that club."
...
Li Kang and Messi don't have much time to reminisce about the past, and the two may meet again in the Champions League next season.
He and his assistant headed to the 2018 World Cup Organizing Committee office without stopping.
The person in charge - Alexei Sorokin warmly welcomed them.
I quickly poured two cups of tea.
People in Moscow like to drink tea. As of 2017 statistics, Russia’s tea consumption ranks fifth in the world.
After exchanging a few words, the guy secretly closed the shutters.
"When we saw Ms. Skaya's proposal... we were somewhat hesitant, even though she would be responsible for the endorsement costs."
"It was Mr. Wenger's suggestion, let us finalize it: let you become the ambassador of the 2018 World Cup!"
"Mr. Wenger's suggestion?"
The assistant looked confused.
Sorokin smiled and nodded: "Soon, Mr. Wenger will serve as FIFA World Football Development Director."
FIFA?
The little assistant was so excited that he couldn't help but poke Li Kang with his elbow.
Bayer Legal FIFA, the depth defense of this backing is too strong.
There are no too redundant processes.
The two parties quickly signed a contract as ambassadors for the 2018 World Cup.
As for the work content, the organizing committee hopes that Li Kang will make arrangements after he recovers from his injury.
...
June 17.
Both sides of the Neva River are filled with light.
St. Petersburg Stadium is like a big ship, lying quietly on the shore of the Gulf of Finland.
Thousands of fans from all over the world gathered here.
The opening match of the 2017 Confederations Cup officially begins.
Russian President, FIFA head Infantino, Pele and others were present in person.
After taking turns to deliver speeches.
A beautiful opening performance began on the green field.
The mascot - Zabivaka is jumping up and down.
On the Spanish bench, Diego Costa poked Li Kang with his elbow.
"Look, that's Robileva!"
“Beautiful and generous Russian supermodel.!”
"I heard that she is 34 years old this year and a mother of four children!"
"Li, don't you like this energetic big sister?"
The short and enthusiastic opening ceremony made Li Kang unknowingly applaud along with the audience's voice.
He couldn't hear what his companions were saying at all.
...
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"
"The live broadcast for you now is the opening match of the 2017 Confederations Cup!"
"First round of Group A: Russia vs. Spain!"
"The host versus the European Cup winner!"
"This Confederations Cup can be seen as a preview of the 2018 World Cup. VAR replay technology will be used in an international competition for the first time!"
"The following introduces you to the lineups of both sides."
-【Robileva has such a good figure, I like her healthy complexion.】
- [Can these two lineups compare? The host country is not enough to win the European Cup! 】
-[Don’t underestimate CSKA Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg, the two Russian Super League giants! Almost all the players in the Russian lineup come from these two clubs.]
-[The strength and tacit understanding of the top 16 of the Champions League is enough for Spain to drink a pot.]
-[The biggest problem with the national team is that the overall integration is not as good as that of the club.]
- [Watch the game carefully, the Confederations Cup group stage is not a life and death battle, no one will stud, right?]
-[Li Mingdeng and Diego Costa did not play?]
...
After the game starts.
Russia's performance stunned all viewers.
The hosts did not cower in the opening game!
They showed momentum at home and launched a fierce confrontation with the Matador Legion.
"pretty!"
"Saul steals the ball in the frontcourt and leaves it to Fabregas to handle!"
"Perfect pass!"
"Morata plugs in!"
"The ball is in!"
"Spain breaks the deadlock!"
"Why?"
"The goal is invalid!"
"Morata makes VAR video playback technology debut in the international arena!"
"Offside!"
"Hmm...is the hair offside?"
"Goal cancelled!"
Morata spread his hands towards the linesman...
The linesman smiled and shook his head to express that it had nothing to do with him.
