August 10th is the day of the European Cup finals.
The eyes of the entire world of football are focused on the Stade de France.
This is the venue for the opening match between Sanremo and France. It is the starting point and the end point of this European Cup.
What's dramatic is that the two teams that stood at the starting point will also have a finishing showdown here tonight!
France VS Italy, who would have thought at the beginning?
But before the game started, earlier in the day, some news came from China that attracted the attention of world football.
It is reported that HXLT, the sports brand endorsed by Lu Yang, redesigned the color scheme in just a few days and is preparing to release the European Cup championship commemorative version of the hunting knife sneakers endorsed by Lu Yang tomorrow!
As soon as the news came out, the European media was in an uproar!
You can issue commemorative items for the European Cup.
Because in this European Cup, Lu Yang performed really well.
But how can you produce a commemorative model for the European Cup champion?
Where is the champion?
What if the French team wins the championship in the end?
Looking at the odds, it is a high probability that the French team will win the championship!
Even though Italy has made incredible comebacks all the way, the gap between them and the French team is too obvious.
The French team has been tied by Italy before, but this means that they will not make the same mistake twice!
More than 82% of people believe that the French team can win the championship!
Perhaps only the Italians think that Italy can win the championship.
Without the votes from Chinese fans, the French team's support rate would have reached 90%.
HXLT Is this going to be a big joke?
In fact, when the news first came out, the domestic media and fans were a little confused.
Well, how about... let's play it safe?
If we really win the championship, we will start preparations a few days later, so it won't be a problem.
There is no need to become a joke in world football for decades just to make this hot money.
However, a group of people led by Tang Yuqin publicly expressed their opinions, believing that Lu Yang would definitely win the championship and that everyone should give Lu Yang more support.
Only the support before the game can motivate Lu Yang.
Anyone can support after the game, but what impact does it have on the game itself?
To put it bluntly, everyone should let Lu Yang see our domestic support and let him know that everyone is with him and fighting for football in his own way!
So Chinese fans also went all out.
So what if it becomes a joke?
A Chinese-American player led his team to the European Cup finals. This is a situation that countless people will never encounter once in their lifetime!
If I don’t support Lu Yang at this time, it’s okay if he succeeds, and he can continue to call Brother Lu awesome.
But what if it fails?
Are you going to swallow the blood and roar in your stomach again?
So the fans did not hesitate to express their support.
This created a lively scene.
Many European media ridiculed mainland fans and called them ignorant.
They actually thought Lu Yang and the Italian team could win?
Do they know how strong this French team is?
Do they really think that fairy tales can be translated into reality?
Can the Sanremo Miracle reach the top of Europe?
Stop dreaming!
That's just to inspire young and ignorant children!
CTV Sports Channel recording hall.
Luo Cheng is preparing for the pre-match commentary with several top domestic football commentators and football celebrities. They will bring you the most exciting game of the year in the broadcast hall!
Tang Yuqin is not here because she has flown to the Stade de France in advance.
Luo Cheng couldn't be more envious.
I heard that it was the VIP tickets provided by Lu Yang.
So happy.
Will you ask Lu Yang for one next time?
I just don’t know how long it will be until I encounter such a wonderful final next time.
After all, a final without it would not be exciting enough for Luo Cheng.
For example, yesterday's America's Cup final.
If Brazil hadn't won the championship and Izelet had been elected the best player of the tournament, no one would have noticed that the America's Cup was being held this year.
This influence is many times different from that of the European Cup.
"But isn't HXLT a bit risky this time?" Someone raised this sensitive topic.
The microphone hasn't been turned on yet, so you can talk whatever you want now.
Luo Cheng laughed at this time.
This is the benefit of one's own people.
He knows the inside story about this!
The problem actually lies in the independent brands of HXLT and Luyang LY7.
Lu Yang hopes that the brand will be completely independent, and Lu Yang can exchange his HXLT shares for it.
But HXLT executives are worried that Lu Yang will leave HXLT alone after he has a personal brand.
Their contract will expire next year, and it is entirely possible that Lu Yang will be signed by Ake and Nedidas by then.
Lu Yang has proven his commercial value.
Aker and Nedidas have also been taught how to behave. Although the rise of HXLT in Europe in the past two years has not affected their share, if it continues like this, it will be a matter of time before there is a conflict of interests.
Therefore, once Lu Yang is free, Ake and Nedidas are likely to be treated like top superstars.
Therefore, HXLT and Lu Yang’s commercial representative Tang Yuqin conducted many negotiations.
They proposed that they could not give up Lu Yang’s HXLT shares, or they could support Lu Yang in establishing his own LY7 brand, and even their share of the shares could be reduced from the 50% or 49% initially proposed to 49%. More than a dozen!
But all this must be under the premise of Lu Yang winning the European Cup.
HXLT will gamble and release new sneakers in advance.
Once the Italian team really wins the European Cup, HXLT will rely on this move to establish its position in the world. They are likely to go further in the European sports brand market and become the third giant after Ake and Nedidas!
But if they fail, they will become the laughing stock of the whole world and suffer a lot of losses.
The condition of HXLT's bet is that if the Italian team fails to win the championship, Lu Yang will become HXLT's lifelong spokesperson!
Moreover, LY7 established by Lu Yang will also be dominated by HXLT, which will obtain 51% of the shares.
If Italy wins the championship, HXLT will only obtain 14% of LY7's shares. As for endorsements, we should follow formal business channels. Whether Lu Yang renews his contract or not will not affect the cooperation between the two parties on LY7.
Lu Yang agreed.
In fact, this bet is beneficial to him.
It’s just the difference between making more and making less.
LY7 needs HXLT to invest in it no matter what. Otherwise, without HXLT’s channels, it would be difficult for LY7 to survive in the early stage. But it would be best if their shares could be reduced to a relatively low level.
HXLT is the party that really has to bear the economic losses.
So since HXLT wants to give it a try, Lu Yang will accompany them to give it a try.
What HXLT values most is Lu Yang’s endorsement, and LY7’s shares are just a bonus in their eyes.
But in Lu Yang's view, LY7's shares are actually the most important.
It doesn't matter whether he is an endorser or not. As for sports brands, he won't endorse Ake and Nedidas anyway.
If you say you are black all your life, you will be black all your life.
This is not some core technology, chip materials, etc., it must be them.
Lu Yang was still able to maintain this principle.
And LY7, in Lu Yang's plan, will become a very important piece of his future business map.
Even the most well-known one.
This will be a continuous gold-mining machine, providing impetus for Lu Yang’s other businesses.
His subsequent investments in the country will require a large amount of financial support.
The salary from playing football alone is not enough.
Although money can be made quickly through the film channel, you can only make money after filming one film, and sometimes you may not make money even after filming. It is essentially a gamble and not stable enough.
Only commercial brands can maintain steady flow of funds.
As a result, the two parties hit it off immediately and settled on the bet.
HXLT also started to do it with great fanfare.
Not to mention winning the bet, even if they lose the bet, they will become famous this time, and their sneakers will be bought out by countless people, and will even have higher additional value.
Because this will be the best proof to ridicule Lu Yang and the Italian team. This kind of "wrong version" sneakers are more commemorative than the original ones.
It's just that Lu Yang and the Italian team will always be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
In this wave, both Lu Yang and HXLT are actually playing a lot.
In addition, in addition to sports brands like HXLT, there are other types of commercial brands that are also eyeing the rising Lu Yang.
For example, Blenio and Chiton are among the three top Italian suit brands.
One of them is rooted in Rome, the other originated in Naples, and they are both optimistic about Lu Yang's commercial value.
The previous endorsements from Lu Yang and Armani were only 500,000 euros.
These two companies contacted Alsace and said that they could give Lu Yang top-notch endorsement fees!
Alsace is slowly talking to them. After the European Cup, Lu Yang may make a choice among them.
But Alsace actually didn't have much confidence in this cooperation, because Lu Yang actually gave Alsace a special request.
Lu Yang hopes that after he establishes LY7, his first product will be co-branded with a top luxury brand.
In this regard, Blenio and Chiton may not agree.
They attach great importance to the purity of their own brands and will not easily help others.
Co-branding has not been a trivial matter in the past two years. It is an important business behavior involving brand reputation.
…
That night, the Stade de France was packed.
The game is about to begin.
There are many important people present today.
In terms of entertainment stars, the female star group headed by Sophia is the most eye-catching.
I still remember that when Lu Yang played in the Italian Cup final for the first time, Sofia came to support Lu Yang alone, which triggered a frenzy of media attention and countless speculations!
Nowadays, Sophia has transformed from the banned European goddess into the most powerful new director and movie superstar in the European and American entertainment circles in the past two years!
She completed a gorgeous turn in two movies. Not only did she return to the top in Europe, she also entered Hollywood, and there were a lot of fans behind her.
Today, the group of sisters around Sofia are all superstars in Europe and the United States.
But now, they are surrounded by stars, following Sophia, facing cameras from all over the world.
At this moment, although many people still think that the little football star named Lu Yang is not worthy of Sophia, at least they will think that Sophia's little boyfriend is not bad, and at least he has given Sophia a large enough display platform.
Especially for this group of female stars from the United States, what they cannot accept the most is that their significant other cannot help their careers.
They become keen on dating sports stars because once their boyfriends reach the finals, they will be able to appear in the center of the world's attention as they should.
Therefore, the people who pay more attention to the NBA Finals, Super Bowl, Champions League Finals, European Cup, and World Cup every year than the fans of each team are these female stars!
This directly determines their exposure.
I have to say that they are really good at it. In the past few decades, they were able to kneel down and lick all kinds of wealthy men in order to become famous. In recent years, in order to become famous, they can learn about sports that they are not interested in at all.
If people who "work hard" like this don't succeed, who can succeed?
In their opinion, Sophia was really lucky.
The Italian football competition has never qualified for ten thousand years, so why did it reach the European Cup final this year?
This boy named Lu Yang is really enough to make a wife!
Could this be a mysterious power from the East?
But soon, these actresses who followed Sophia to gain traffic became a little unhappy.
Because they discovered that the positions to the left and right of Sophia were occupied by others!
That’s the position with the highest exposure and the best camera feel!
They can only sit next to or behind.
Who are these two people?
One with black hair and one with red hair?
"Ms. Tang, Laura, hello." Sofia greeted the two of them warmly. Although there was a certain age gap between the three of them, they had a good relationship like three sisters.
Under the camera, they are as close as a family.
But behind the camera, I don't know how they view each other.
In terms of celebrities, Chelsea bosses, Manchester City bosses, Russian giants, Middle Eastern tycoons, Italian aristocrats, and Wall Street upstarts all appeared on these occasions.
Mr. Russell even wore Lu Yang’s club jersey, which was very eye-catching.
But they are not the center of these distinguished guests.
Today, in addition to the presidents of Italy, the French Football Association, and the president of UEFA, the official big brothers of France and Italy also appeared!
This changed the nature of the event.
It's not just entertainment.
Throughout history, the only moments that can bring the two leaders together are war and diplomacy.
Football combines the two.
It is war in peacetime!
It is also one of the main diplomatic methods of European countries!
The time came to eight o'clock.
Under the spotlight, players from both teams appeared together.
After the ceremony, a whistle blew, and the European Cup final officially started!
The French team still has their main lineup.
Robery, Nerka, Ruberg
Gu Qizuo
Joseph, Pratsa
Gerbert, Quba, Landene, Turan
Dominica
4213!
These stars' adaptation to this formation is top-notch.
Formation, players, playing style, tacit understanding, and personal abilities, this team is impeccable!
On the other side, Italy also presented their most stable lineup.
Ancarelli, Perrotta
Lu Yang
Pellegrini, Derecki, Moric
Plasedes, Bernoulini, Kijevic, Kanyes
Audi
Perhaps it was the reason why veterans had exploded one after another before. Manero finally chose Derekchi among Derekchi and Ram.
Manero admitted that he had selfish motives.
Because this is very likely to be Derek's last game in the national team!
Drecki is likely to become a symbol of renewal for this aging Italian national team.
So Manero doesn't want his career to end in regret.
"The French team launched an attack, and the Italian team must pay 10,000 times more attention!" the commentator said, "The Italian team has reversed the game many times before, which is of course proof of their tenacious fighting spirit."
"But it also exposed their shortcomings of insufficient strength. They always chase points after falling behind. This kind of behavior works for other teams, but it is unreliable against the French team."
"Because the French team has too much firepower, once they concede too many goals in the early stage, the Italian team will not be able to catch up even with Lu Yang!"
The commentator knows the Italian team well.
In the first five minutes, Zizzo used a through ball to penetrate the Italian team's defense.
The one he hit was right behind Derek!
In Zizo's eyes, Derek was not full of flaws, but the threat was too small.
Fortunately, Audi struck early and confiscated the football before Nerka.
Subsequently, Italy launched a wave of attacks.
But Italy has too few people in the frontcourt.
In the early stage, when everyone's physical strength and concentration are concentrated, it is difficult to score goals with this configuration.
The meaning of two forwards is to consume in the first half and score in the second half.
Therefore, Italy's scoring pattern also conforms to their tactical arrangements.
If this French team doesn't relax, with their athletic ability, it will be even harder for Italy to score.
Seventeenth minute.
Moric made a sudden attack from behind and intercepted Zizzo.
The key point of 4213 is on the "1".
This will certainly allow Zizzo to fully utilize his abilities and dominate the entire game.
But it will also put Zizuo under great pressure.
An occasional mistake will still happen.
What's more, Moliqi was such a thief that Zizzo didn't even notice this short man who was only 1.74 meters tall.
Zizzo counterattacked immediately, and Moric was ready to pass the ball to Kanyes.
Who knew that Zizuo made a false move and turned and ran towards Kanyes midway.
High IQ defensive fake move!
Who said Zizzo can't defend?
However, Zizzo was destined to miss out.
Because Morich looked at Kanyes, but passed the ball to the center circle in front.
Pass the ball without looking!
Momo is so cool!
Qi Zuo knew something was wrong just by looking at it.
Theoretically, Lu Yang needs to retreat a little to catch the ball at that position.
But Lu Yang did not retreat now, but instead rushed into the French team's penalty area.
why?
Because the Italian team's ten thousand-year-old midfielder Drechi actually stepped in after Moric completed the steal!
The speed is not fast, but the timing is deadly!
After receiving a pass from Moric, Derek pushed forward directly.
Joseph was attracted by Lu Yang, and Pracha was also helping to defend Ancarelli.
Seeing Dereki's unbridled advance, Platsa let go of Ancarelli and rushed towards Derekchi.
boom!
Derek seizes the opportunity and hits it straight!
Pracha stretched out his foot, but failed to touch the football.
Ancarelli on the side suddenly cut inside without the ball. France's right center back Landene noticed Ancarelli, but he did not dare to go out because Lu Yang was coming! It is very difficult for Landene to stand in a position that can both intimidate Ancarelli and defend Lu Yang.
Ancarelli received the ball on the left side of the penalty area.
At this time, whether it is the French team's right back Turan, center back Landene, or Placa who saved before, they are still some distance away from Ancarelli.
In another two seconds, he will be surrounded by three people, ambushed from all sides, and there will be no escape.
But now...he is undefended!
boom!
Ancarelli caught the ball in the area he was most familiar with, and without hesitation, he took a super dodge shot!
The football drew a huge arc, flew past the left side of Landene, and went straight to the far corner of the goal!
Super players may not be able to be defended one-on-one, not to mention that Landene has to defend one against two?
King of Far Angle is online!
Uh-huh!
Football shabu net!
The sound is crisp and clear.
One to zero!
Italy took a rare lead after falling behind for many consecutive games!
And this time, it may be the most important time!
"Ancarelli! It's Ancarelli!"
"Who would have thought that Italy would take the lead just seventeen minutes into the game!"
"Ancarelli had been in poor form before. Until this goal, he had only scored one goal in five games!"
"But since the last game, Ancarelli has experienced a resurgence! He completed a hat trick of assists and sent Italy to the final! And now, he opened the scoring for the team!"
"The Zebra Prince is back!"
"In addition, Roma's strongman Derekchi also showed his strength and gave a valuable assist!"
"Dreki usually doesn't assist. One assist is the kind of goal that determines the European Cup champion. Who can bear this!"
"The French team can't be said to be careless. It's really that Derek's intervention was so unexpected! It's not much different from Bernoulini's intervention!"
"Of course, the impact of Lu Yang and Perrotta on this ball is also very important, they are very involved!"
"Moric's steal is crucial! Zizzo would not have thought that his small mistake would lead to this catastrophe for the French team!"
The fans of the Italian team celebrated happily, they could not believe that happiness came so suddenly.
Eighty-two percent thought France would win.
In many previous games, Italy had conceded the goal first.
but now……
The French players were also a little confused.
As promised, the Italian food is very good.
Why do you feel like they are doing okay in the match today?
Especially their cooperation.
What's with this damn silky feeling?
How many years have we not seen the naturalness and accuracy of Derek's penetration?
Ancarelli's touch and kick were obviously much better than before.
The key is that he didn't have any distractions when shooting this time!
There is no woman in my heart, so I manipulate the God of Nature!
When Ancarelli is no longer burdened by statistics, his condition has greatly improved even without the peak card!
The subsequent games also showed what the French players felt.
Regardless of the ball possession rate, pass success rate, number of shots, and number of corner kicks, the Italian team has gone against the previous norm and is 50-50 with the French team.
You know, they definitely didn't have an advantage in these data before.
Even when playing against Russia, Italy's statistics are only 50-50.
Co-author: The French team was kicked out to Russia?
The French team will never allow this to happen.
In the 35th minute, Robery dribbled the ball past two people on the left.
Kanyes was passed directly.
Robery made a pass.
Nerka succeeded with a header, but the ball went wide!
Nerka hugged her head and lamented that she had missed the opportunity due to the bad weather.
In the 40th minute, Robery made a comeback and once again easily passed Moric who came to press. Showing the super strength of the world's number one left winger.
Kanyes learned from the past and did not dare to rush too hard.
Derek sensed something was wrong and moved laterally.
Robery wants a long shot!
Dare you say that the world's number one left winger's long-range shot is unreliable?
Kanyes dares to let this go?
Robbery really made him lose his mind.
Derek approached, and Robery stopped his long-range shot instantly and knocked the ball back to Zizzo.
Qi Zuo is empty!
There is no way around it.
If Derek doesn't go, Robery will take a long shot.
With Derek gone, Zizzo was empty.
Bernoulini rushed forward immediately.
But Nerka was therefore in an undefended position.
Robery seizes the opportunity to move forward!
Kijevic has one head and two big heads. He has to defend Nerka from the center and Robery from the left. How can he do it?
Kijevic rushes towards Nerka.
boom!
Zizuo passes Robbery!
But the moment the ball came out, Kijevic turned and pounced on Robery!
Defensive feint!
Pay tribute to the previous Qi Zuo!
Nerka and Robery, although the former is a center and a superstar, compared with Robery... If Kievich felt that he was Zizo, he would also choose Robery.
He made a bet.
The bet was right!
This is a wonderful defense...
boom!
The football landed and Robery stopped the ball with the instep of his right foot.
Strangely, the football didn't bounce.
Robberry's skills are very good.
Although Kijevic defends Robery head-on, it does not mean that Robery has no chance.
Robery sticks to the ball on his instep and moves to the right, looking for a chance to hit the goal.
Kijevic didn't expect the ball to stop so quickly and was a step too late. He quickly turned around and prepared to chase Robery.
However, Robery's left foot crossed in front of him, and the football was still on his right foot that stayed behind.
He did not use his right foot to knock the football out, but after his left foot went out, he used his right foot to shake the football out from behind his left leg.
While running, he inserted flowers into his crotch and passed the ball!
Robery rushed past Kijevic from the left and entered the small penalty area.
The football passed under Kijevic's crotch and also entered the small penalty area.
Audi strikes!
But Robery was too fast and hit the ball first.
Football accelerates.
By the way, he also pierced Audi's wicket once and rolled into the goal.
Two consecutive crotch-piercing goals!
Robery opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag.
This European Cup champion, their French team... is determined!
