August 31, Monaco.
At 8pm, the Stade Louis II was packed with fans.
There are still 45 minutes left before the game kicks off, but the fans in the stands can't wait.
After 1998, all European Super Cup matches will be held here.
Although all the infrastructure is available, the stadium capacity is relatively small in Europe, and can only accommodate more than 18,000 fans at most.
Therefore, the fans who can grab the tickets have made their reservations early and are more or less capable in real society.
Looking at the red waving everywhere in the stands, the officials sent by UEFA felt like they were in another world.
"Is it time for our European Super Cup to be moved to another location?"
There is no way, the "China effect" brought by Wang Xiaodong is so intense that the total number of fans in the four major leagues combined is not as many as Chinese fans.
For an ordinary Asian Cup, a stadium in Southeast Asia that can accommodate 30,000 to 50,000 people can easily be filled by Chinese fans; now it is the European Super Cup, but there are only more than 18,000 seats at the venue. How can it accommodate the hearts of Chinese fans?
Although more fans did not buy tickets and just stayed outside the stadium, these tourists from the east greatly stimulated Monaco's tourism industry.
Listen, there are shouts all over the mountains and plains outside the stadium.
"Xiaodong, Xiaodong, Xiaodong, Dong, Dong, Dong..."
Just like a howitzer truck firing.
The little witch wore sunglasses, put her hands on her companion's shoulders, and sat among the white fans.
"Hermione, is that DONG? He is indeed a talented person."
The female companion put down the telescope and licked the corner of her mouth.
"Nancy, don't think I don't know what you're looking at!"
The little witch angrily snatched the telescope, pointed at the other half of the celestial court and said: "Over there! Over there, Tottenham's warm-up players are over there!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, who is that extremely handsome guy?" the girl named Nancy asked curiously.
"He's Kaka!" the little witch pouted, "That's DONG's enemy!"
"Enemy? But he is so handsome!" Nancy still looked infatuated.
"So what if he's handsome?" the little witch said angrily, "Not only is he handsome, his girlfriend is also prettier than you!"
"Huh? Then his girlfriend is also prettier than you?" Nancy shot back.
"Of course, she's prettier than both of us!" the little witch looked down at her airport in frustration and said angrily, "Nancy, the two of us combined may not be as big as Caroline!"
"Didn't you say that DONG wouldn't mind this?" Nancy was a little panicked when she heard this.
"Of course! DONG is the best boyfriend in the world! He will never be like those guys who look like gentlemen but only think about big butts and beautiful breasts!" The little witch proudly promoted her boyfriend. "Moreover, he is the most masculine person! If you don't believe it, just watch it later. He will definitely beat up that guy named Kaka!"
"Really?" Nancy blinked, "I like MAN's man the most..."
...
Not long after the players warmed up, they both returned to the locker room to repair, and then lined up in the tunnel.
The songs and dances on the court and their respective team emblems faded away, and players from both sides lined up to take the field amid the host's introduction.
"The next one is——Dida~~~"
"Wow~~~"
"The next one is - Gattuso~~~"
"Wow~~~"
"Next is - Seedorf~~~"
"Wow~~~"
"The next one is-Kaka!!!"
“Crash la la la la!!!”
When the host shouted Kaka's name, almost all the fans stood up and applauded desperately.
Looking at the proud man in the stadium, everyone knows that the era of Kaka in today's football has arrived!
Champions League champion, America's Cup champion... this year's Ballon d'Or, if not awarded to this proud man, who else will it be awarded to?
Some people even threatened that another double footballer is about to arrive.
At this moment, all the spotlights in the stadium were focused on AC Milan and Kaká. The unknown Tottenham on the side seemed to be just a foil.
"This is an international superstar!" In the studio, Huang Jianxiang shook his head and exclaimed.
"Yes, Kaká worked hard in Milan for several seasons and finally helped AC Milan establish a great cause. At a time when other stars were gradually fading, the rise of this Brazilian boy gave fans a glimpse of the next era. "Zhan Jun also felt this.
At this time, the camera slid over the faces of the Tottenham players one by one, and stopped on Wang Xiaodong's face for only half a second.
But that's enough.
Seeing Wang Xiaodong's face, Huang Jianxiang felt angry again.
"Speaking of which, Wang Xiaodong received a lot of honors last season."
"The League Cup champion, the FA Cup champion, the Europa League champion, and the Asian Cup champion, these combined are not much worse than Kaká. Coupled with the Community Shield champion a few days ago, Wang Xiaodong has won a lot of achievements in the past year. But I won 5 championship trophies!" Huang Jianxiang boasted on behalf of Wang Xiaodong.
"Yes, Wang Xiaodong is indeed very good." Zhan Jun seemed to have not yet reacted, and even said one more sentence in front of Huang Jianxiang, "But if you are born in Yu, why should you be born bright? In front of Kaka, what Wang Xiaodong has obtained The championship is really not impressive enough..."
"That's not necessarily true!" Even if it was a colleague's rebuttal, Huang Jianxiang immediately responded, "Although the Europa League champion is not as good as the Champions League, and the Asian Cup champion is not as good as the America's Cup, Wang Xiaodong wins because of the quantity!"
"And isn't this European Super Cup game the best way to determine who is better between the two?"
"Even if Kaka has beaten Wang Xiaodong in all statistics in the past year, as long as he defeats his opponent in this Super Cup, what do those who oppose Xiaodong have to say?"
Zhan Jun: "..."
After a few seconds of silence, Zhan Jun quickly reacted and changed the subject, "The two teams fighting today are one from Serie A and one from the Premier League. Currently, in their respective leagues, the Premier League has played four rounds. , and Serie A has just entered the first round.”
"From this aspect, Tottenham's warm-up is more adequate, but Milan's physical strength is more abundant."
"Fans may also know that in the first round of the Premier League, Wang Xiaodong was fined and suspended for three games for knocking down the opponent's head coach. Today is Wang Xiaodong's first game after his suspension."
"Tottenham Hotspur have also been caught up in the scandalous news in London during this period, and many players are struggling to put aside their own relationships. Therefore, Tottenham's overall strength during this period has not reached its peak..."
Seeing that Zhan Jun had a tendency to lower Tottenham's morale, Huang Jianxiang on the side quickly added: "But because of this, Tottenham urgently needs a victory and championship to restore the current team image and re-establish confidence in the players and fans."
"Coupled with Wang Xiaodong's return to the team, I think Tottenham will definitely try their best to defeat their opponents in today's game!"
After Huang Jianxiang finished speaking, he quickly winked at Zhan Jun.
Zhan Jun had no choice but to cough a few times and then said: "Okay, now let me introduce to you the starting players of both sides."
