The Club World Cup is an official competition organized by FIFA.
However, due to the lack of gold content, or to be more precise, due to the large gap in the level of participating teams, there is not much to watch at the competitive level. Therefore, overall, the Club World Cup is more of a promotional game, and the major clubs are basically It's all about money.
The prize money for the winning team of this year’s Club World Cup is US$5 million.
The money is not much, but the key is that the life is not much.
There are only four rounds of matches in the Club World Cup.
The first round is the qualifying round, with the weakest Oceania champion facing off against the host country champion.
The second round is directly the quarter-finals, the winner of the qualifiers and the champions of Asia, Africa and North America.
In the third round of the semi-finals, the two teams that advanced to the quarter-finals faced the Champions League champion and the South American Liberation Cup champion.
Finally comes the finals and the third and fourth place competition.
In other words, as the Champions League champion, Arsenal will only play two games.
And in addition to the championship bonus, there are also promotion bonuses.
Those who advance to the finals from the semi-finals will also receive a prize of more than two million US dollars.
Semifinals, finals.
More than $7 million for two games. Not counting overtime, Arsenal can earn $40,000 per minute.
Nearly 300,000 yuan per minute.
This benefit has been considerable.
Moreover, in order to seize this publicity opportunity, the organizer Japan will also pay to invite major clubs to watch some other local events.
For example, the K-1 Fighting Tournament is the world's highest level stand-up fighting event, such as the Japanese king Mo Suo Dou, Muay Thai boxing champion Buakaw, the first generation champion Albert Klaus and the Dutch genius Andisuwa.
Among these four, only Buakaw and Mo Suodou are relatively out of the ordinary, but in fact these four have almost monopolized the 70kg world boxing world for more than ten years.
To describe it simply, the K-1 Fighting Tournament is a bit like La Liga in 10-20 years.
Most of the top athletes in the industry in the world are among them.
However, the influence of the boxing industry is still not big enough, so this time Japan sponsored the entire Arsenal team to watch the K-1 game.
Even, because Chen Mo has the habit of practicing boxing on weekdays, K-1 even invited Chen Mo to test his leg and boxing strength.
Of course it's not about fighting in a ring.
The lethality of fighting is too strong. It is normal for a person to have his kidneys blown out if he is not guarded, or even a leg sweep to break his leg bone.
Wenger would naturally not let his baby Chen Mo fight in the ring, that is, use a machine to test, for example, how many kilograms of Chen Mo's whip kick and back straight punch are, and what level can he compare to those professional boxers? such as.
In response, Bell joked that Chen Mo seemed to be going to participate in the world's best martial arts tournament in Dragon Ball~
It is indeed very similar. In the anime, the second time Goku participated in the martial arts tournament, the machine that measured his strength directly exploded.
Playing in the Club World Cup and going to K-1 to watch games are both team activities, but compared to team activities, Chen Mo has more personal matters.
As he led Arsenal to defeat Manchester United in the 19th round of the Premier League, Chen Mo's reputation has reached a higher level than before, and everyone can see that his physical condition has completely recovered!
You must know that four months ago, Chen Mo was seriously injured during the contract year!
It’s not the contract year between Chen Mo and Arsenal, but the contract year between Chen Mo and his endorsement company!
At that time, Chen Mo had just won the America's Cup and his second Champions League!
The trend is achieved!
Many endorsement companies were afraid that Chen Mo would be poached by competitors, so they were preparing to sign a new contract with Chen Mo with a higher value. However, Chen Mo was suddenly seriously injured at that time.
Many contract renewals have stalled.
Just like people go to work to make money, the essence of capital signing endorsements is to make money.
Pursuing profit is not a bad thing. Who in the world does not pursue profit?
Exploitation is bad.
Chen Mo was not too surprised or too angry about the change of attitude of these capitals.
However, whether it is surprising or not, whether we will continue to sign contracts with these brands is another matter.
"Ah~~ Why isn't Keli here? I can't handle these business matters at all, okay?"
Tokyo, Japan, Yuechi Family Seafood Restaurant.
On the second floor of the seafood shop, Chen Mo looked at the contract sent by the Mmc brokerage team with a loveless face. He hugged the quilt and turned over on the tatami where Yue Chixun slept when he was a child.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't do it on my bed without taking off your coat."
The small square table next to it.
Seeing that Chen Mo didn't change his clothes, he just messed with his quilt. His legs were huddled under the kotatsu, and his back was straight. Yuechi Xun, who was typing on a notebook, teased the princess-cut bangs that he had recently done. The tone was a bit unpleasant.
"Hey, when I get back to my parents, I start pretending to be polite. I don't know who it is every time [wash it later~] [if it's wet, it's wet] [hurry up, oh~ just tear it apart~] Ah~ Hey, hey ~Hahaha, I was just joking!"
"I'm telling you to talk nonsense! Do you know that your parents are down there?"
Before he could finish his teasing words, Yuechi Xun blushed, bared his teeth and claws and pounced over. He straddled Chen Mo and punched him wildly.
Chen Mo just laughed and turned around with his face covered.
Wolchi Kaoru used to be very good at karate and boxing, but after becoming a housewife and a family member, she naturally fell behind in boxing and kicking skills.
After all, he is only 1.67 meters tall and weighs less than 110 meters.
A girl of this height and weight could be shaken down by Chen Mo with just a little effort.
However, she is his wife after all, and he also likes playing around.
But after the fuss for a while, suddenly, "Ouch~"
Yuechi Xun's expression suddenly changed, he turned over from Chen Mo, covered his mouth and ran to the trash can to retching.
"No, why would you make yourself vomit when you hit me?"
Sitting up and rubbing his messy hair, Chen Mo wanted to say something mean, but midway through his words, he froze.
Not only Chen Mo was stunned, but Yue Chixun was also stunned.
Thinking of something, their eyes met, both of them were confused, their eyes full of disbelief.
Just at this moment, "Shua——"
"I'm back! Did you guys miss me?"
The door opened, and Keli appeared at the door wearing a cool black trench coat and long boots, with delicate cool makeup on her face, black clothes, white skin, and a whole person full of gothic feeling.
The tone was very exciting, but Chen Mo and Yue Chixun were still a little dazed at this time, they just stared at Keli with their eyes wide open.
.
Half an hour later.
Looking at the two-striped pregnancy test stick on the table, the three people who were sitting obediently were completely petrified.
"What. What should I do?!"
Rao had always wanted a child before, but now she suddenly found out that she was pregnant. Yuechi Xun was still completely confused and looked at Chen Mo nervously.
Yuechi Xun was confused.
Chen Mo was equally confused!
It’s not like you’re thinking about having kids or not.
He, Yuechi Xun and Keli were childhood sweethearts. They met and fell in love for almost ten years. The relationship between the three of them has long been inseparable, and they will definitely have children in the future.
It's just that he didn't expect this day to come so early!
So sudden!
"Am I going to be a dad?!"
Chen Mo was confused, but seeing the very nervous expressions of the two girls, he calmed down, hugged Yuechi Xun's softly compressed waist, and said with a smile: "What should I do? Oh my god, think about it in the future. I was so excited when I took my children to the stadium to watch me play football!
Then we can take the children to the amusement park and travel around the world together, and your life will not be so boring. You can send the children to school in the morning, and I will pick them up together after training in the evening. child. And if your husband and I are so good, other parents will definitely be jealous of you. "
"What, I don't care if others envy me or not."
After hearing Chen Mo's words, Yue Chixun's mental state gradually relaxed, and the smile on his face became much brighter.
But Keli next to her was still in a daze.
Worried about Keli's overthinking, Yuechi Xun turned around and was about to say something, but Keli shook her head and said with some emotion: "I'm fine. But, I really didn't expect that I would also be an elder."
Looking at the pregnancy test stick on the table, Keli looked a little complicated.
Her parents were both drug addicts.
Drug addicts are naturally not good people. When she was a child, her parents beat and scolded her at every turn. Later, they both fell off a cliff and died because of snatching D products in the car.
Having lost her parents at a young age, a drug addict naturally has little wealth, and none of her relatives want her as a dragster.
After all kinds of pushing and pushing, the only relative who was willing to take her in was still interested in her scholarship, manipulated her around, and even wanted to sexually assault her.
Her childhood experience gave her a very bad impression of the concept of family, even a shadow. It also made it very difficult for her to trust others.
This was the main reason why she chose to go to the United States when faced with the two options of going to the United States to study at Harvard or staying in Spain to accompany Chen Mo.
She Keli values her own strength more than connecting with others.
When a person pays more attention to his own strength, most of the time it is not because he is born to be strong, but because he is afraid of being abandoned again.
Keli is like this, she feels fear and uneasiness from the bottom of her heart when it comes to words like family and children.
And everything that happened now reminded Keli of some bad memories.
"Don't worry, I will always be by your side."
He was a childhood sweetheart with Keli, and he also had a delicate personality. Seeing Keli's expression, Chen Mo probably knew what the other person was thinking.
Without hesitation, he directly hugged Keli into his arms and kissed him on the forehead. Just as he was about to continue saying something, Keli reached out and pinched his nose, stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we all We are an old couple now, so don’t be so pretentious. Now, I’m going to tell my father-in-law and Leo the good news!”
This guy.
Seeing Keli pick up her cell phone and rush to make a call, Chen Mo and Yue Chi Xun both looked at each other and smiled.
.
Yue Chixun is pregnant and Chen Mo wants to be a father!
This is undoubtedly big news outside.
However, Chen Mo, Yue Chixun, and Keli have always disliked having their personal lives disturbed by the media, so in the end, this news only caused a sensation in a few people's circles of relatives and friends.
No surprise.
Chen Fei and his grandfather Lopez immediately dropped what they were doing and flew to Japan. When Keli called, Chen Mo could even hear Chen Fei yelling "Fuck".
In addition to family and teammates.
Messi, Ronaldinho and Antonella also bought plane tickets to Japan as soon as possible, and flew to Japan with gifts from Guardiola, Xavi and the others. They were also accompanied by Alejandro, who also plays in La Liga. Cuero, Aimar and Scaloni et al.
Not only Messi, a young boy, but also an old friend of Barcelona and an old teammate of the national team.
Real Madrid's Modric also ran over after getting the news.
Originally, Caccarouni was also coming, but unfortunately there were games in the Premier League during the winter break, so he had to give verbal congratulations over the phone, saying that he would give Chen Mo a surprise when they met next time.
However, the Bundesliga and Serie A, like La Liga, have no games during the winter break.
After hearing the news, old acquaintances such as Schweinsteiger, Muller and Hummels from the Bundesliga, Crespo, Ibrahimovic and even Vieira from the Serie A also bought tickets to come to Japan, jokingly saying that they wanted to see [Dad Edition] ] How does Chen Mo play football.
It hurts a little~
Chen Mo's original idea was to keep a low profile and wait until the baby was born before making a big deal to surprise Yue Chixun. After all, emotional stability during pregnancy is also very important.
But now so many top stars are gathered in Japan.
"I can only hope these guys can be more strict with their words."
After hanging up the phone with Ibrahimovic, Chen Mo looked a little hurt, but his premonition came true.
The next day, Messi and others took flights to Japan one after another.
The entire Asian media, including the European media, are all going crazy!
Especially Japanese media!
Messi, Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Aguero, Modric.
As Zidane and Ronaldo's generation gradually withdraw from the stage of history, Chen Mo and his old friends have also taken the C position on the stage!
All of them are either world-famous superstars like Messi and Ronaldinho, or supernovas like Aguero Hummels and the Magic Flute who have already made a name for themselves!
Except for the 2002 World Cup, when have the Japanese seen so many stars gather in Japan? !
And it's not just the star benefits.
Just like a person who doesn't watch football, seeing football stars is strange and surprising at best, but he won't pay too much attention to them.
The arrival of Messi and others in Japan can cause a huge sensation, firstly because they are indeed famous, and secondly because Japan is now vigorously promoting the sport of football.
[The number of Japanese football families will reach 10 million by 2050, and the World Cup will be held locally again in 2050 and win the championship, making Japanese football truly world-class]
Inspired by this policy and slogan, almost all the people in Japan are paying attention to football and the whole country is football-crazy!
In this context, if the arrival of Messi and others does not cause a big earthquake in Japan, then it would be a fool.
At first, some silly guys thought they were coming to watch the Club World Cup, or to engage in some business cooperation, but soon, media reporters discovered that Messi and the others went directly to find Chen Mo after arriving in Japan!
what's the situation? !
The Japanese people are confused!
However, although the matter was a big fuss, the truth did not spread.
The main reason is that reporters and media cannot contact Chen Mo and others at all.
Chen Mo has not had much direct interaction with Japanese football in recent years, but Yuechi Kaoru has served as the manager spokesperson of the Japan High School Football League for three consecutive years.
Every year when the Japan High School League starts, Tsukichi Kaoru flies back to Japan to help promote the game in various high schools.
In order to support his wife, Chen Mo also agreed to the Japan Football Association to take photos with their championship team every year.
Taken together, it looks pretty good.
But Chen Mo's team in Long Country is the champion of the campus football league organized by Chen Fei every year, and he can visit the Arsenal Club under his leadership!
Some of the best can even go directly to Arsenal's youth training to experience it for a period of time. If they are really capable, they might be able to enter Arsenal's youth training!
Chen Mo treated Long Guo much better, but the Japanese didn't have much to say.
Although Chen Mo is not a Dragon Kingdom nationality, he has Dragon Kingdom blood, and his father Chen Fei is a famous national football player.
Now that Chen Mo has a successful career, it is understandable to help Longguo promote football, not to mention.
Japan is a strong nation.
When their status is relatively low, or when they are asking for help from others, they are indeed able to put down their airs.
For a football boss like Chen Mo to take a photo with their high school students, it is already a great honor for them, and it can indeed promote the development of Japanese football.
Therefore, the Yuechi Xunjia Seafood Restaurant has been under strict control for a long time, and reporters and media cannot enter without permission.
As for the paparazzi who want to sneak in?
Sorry, there really is a black society in Japan, and in this era where there are almost no secrets, the black society would have been eliminated eight hundred years ago if it had not been related to the upper class.
With the arrival of Messi and others, the whole of Japan is boiling.
Many people were guessing what happened. They didn't expect that it was just because Yuechi Xun was pregnant.
"Wow~ This lobster sashimi is so delicious! Uncle, please have another plate."
"Haha, hi...if you like it...that's fine~"
"Thank you, uncle!"
"I told you that you really don't see anyone outside."
The evening breeze blows gently and the bright moon hangs high.
The backyard of Yuechi's seafood restaurant.
Watching Yuechi's father speaking broken English, happily taking the plate from Ibrahimovic, looking at Messi and others playing football on the beach, and then looking at the wooden table drinking juice and milk and constantly communicating about pregnancy. Feeling Yuechi Xuncorian Antonella, Chen Mo's expression was a little speechless.
Seeing Chen Mo's expression, Ibrahimovic laughed: "Haha, of course, what is our relationship?"
".It doesn't matter."
Chen Mo rolled his eyes speechlessly, his expression unhappy, but there was a lot of smiles in his eyes. To be honest, he and Ibrahimovic have not known each other for too long. They only met when they went to win the Golden Boy Award three years ago.
However, how can I put it, some people can't even pee after being classmates for three years, and some people can become good friends at the first sight.
He and Ibrahimovic are almost like this.
As for the reason
Chen Mo thought it might be because both of them had very arrogant personalities.
It's just that Chen Mo is a cool guy, while Ibrahimovic is a cool guy.
"Oh, it makes me sad when you say that."
Hearing Chen Mo's complaints, Ibrahimovic smiled and swallowed a mouthful of lobster meat, turned to look at Messi and Ronaldinho who were playing football in the stall, then leaned his head in and smiled: "But you are really popular. How do you do it? Teach me."
"I'll teach you? If you don't say so many naughty words, you will have friends."
Chen Mo rolled his eyes speechlessly, suddenly thought of something, and smiled again: "By the way. We will meet in the Champions League in two months. How about it? Have you thought about what to say on MMC after losing?"
"Oh! You damn thing."
Hearing this, Ibrahimovic smiled and punched Chen Mo, but his eyes were not only smiling, but also speechless.
To be honest, the most speechless team this year is not Manchester United, which just lost to Arsenal after playing one more player, but Inter Milan.
The draw for the top 16 of the Champions League is the first place in the group versus the second place in the group. This year, Inter Milan's performance in the Champions League group stage was not bad and they won the first place in the group.
The first place in the group beat the second place in the other groups, and it seemed that they would have a greater chance of advancing. However, in the draw for the top 16, they were drawn by Arsenal who lacked Chen Mo and stumbled from the second place in Group C.
After the game against Manchester United, which coach in the world doesn't scratch his head when he sees Chen Mo?
Not only the coach, but also the players were scratching their heads after seeing Chen Mo's performance!
And where is the more uncomfortable place for Inter Milan?
Three years of Champions League.
The top 16 hit Arsenal every year!
Second place in the group stage clashed with Arsenal.
The first place in the group stage also hits Arsenal!
Who are you looking for to reason with?
Of course, a person with Ibrahimovic's personality will definitely not have the mentality of "I wish I could bypass Chen Mo".
He felt uncomfortable because he couldn't fuck Chen Mo on a bigger stage like the quarterfinals, the semifinals, or even the finals.
The two chatted and made fun of each other. After a while, Messi and the others got tired of playing football.
A group of people came to drink juice and drink.
The sea breeze blew slowly, while we ate seafood and barbecue, chatted, and noisily watched the programs on the large TV on the beach.
Although there wasn’t the kind of partying and drinking in a bar, we were surrounded by colleagues who knew about football and chatting about some football content. Everyone was quite happy.
However, although the Club World Cup is around the corner, no one talks about the Club World Cup much.
The Club World Cup is one of those cup competitions that can be used as icing on the cake when commenting on the number of championships won, but it is not actually important.
Even if Yue Chixun was not pregnant, they would all come to celebrate, otherwise they would not even watch the TV broadcast, let alone the scene.
Without talking about the Club World Cup, the topic naturally leads to the most important Champions League knockout round in the second half of the season.
To be honest, the people who came this time were quite interesting.
Arsenal collided with Inter Milan, Messi and the others also collided with Schweinsteiger's Bayern, as for Aguero
After everyone's chat topic shifted to the Champions League, he shut up and just sat drinking and letting the cold wind blow.
With Torres leaving the team to join Liverpool, he completely became Atletico Madrid's number one, but...
Atletico Madrid will not qualify for the Champions League this year.
Being among the crowd, but feeling lonely~~
However, Aguero was not too bored. This childish activist soon attracted the bragging rights of Mikaru, who came to Yuechi's house to help.
Aguero is currently at the bottom of Chen Mo's group, but in the eyes of a ten-year-old child like Mikata Kaoru, he is a proper boss.
Aguero spoke Arabic, and he almost deceived this little kid. He almost thought that Aguero was disdainful because he was going to participate in a more advanced [European Super League] league. Participate in the Champions League.
However, soon, Aguero's deception was ruthlessly exposed by Chen Mo next to him.
The image is ruined!
Feeling Mikaruta's contempt, Aguero became unhappy. He picked up the football and ran to the beach with Mikaruta, saying that he wanted to show off some tricks to try to save face.
Quite childish.
But to be honest, Aguero is only eighteen years old, eight years older than Mikaru.
It’s just that in the field of football, one generation lasts almost ten years, so it feels like there is a big age gap between the two.
A group of people continued playing around until about eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.
Except for the Premier League, it's winter break now. Ronaldinho and the others naturally won't go to bed so early, and they have to watch Chen Mo's game the day after tomorrow, so they also booked a room in a nearby hotel.
A group of old men couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so they ran to Tokyo's famous Kabukicho, led by overjoyed members of nearby clubs.
Well, a group of football stars went to a nightclub.
It sounds exaggerated, but in fact it's not a big problem. Europe doesn't pay much attention to these things. No matter how messy your private life is, as long as it doesn't endanger society or break the law, it has nothing to do with other people.
Even when Xiao Luolong traveled to China, he just took two girls back to the hotel. The result may be that one vs. two consumes more energy and he has to eat pizza in the middle of the night. In the Dragon Country of that era, there was no pizza sold in the middle of the night.
As a result, Ronaldinho was complained by some girls in the outside group "This Brazilian is sick", but these did not affect Ronaldinho's reputation. At most, he just said that he is romantic and has no self-discipline.
A group of people left happily.
Of course, Chen Mo didn't go.
Just kidding, he doesn't really like to have sex in the first place. After all, the two beauties at home are so beautiful, and they still have a good understanding of each other. They know what posture to put in by patting their buttocks.
What's more, now that Yue Chixun is pregnant again, how can he go out and have fun.
Chen Mo didn't go, and neither did Messi.
Not only Antonella also came to Japan this time, but the main reason is that Messi has a bit of social fear.
Ask him to dance and play games with a group of unknown women, and he doesn't even know where to put his hands.
So, amid the sound of gunfire in Tokyo, Messi and Antonella were arranged to the guest room, and Chen Mo and the two girls also went back to the room to rest.
However, because Wolji Xun was pregnant, the main force became Keli.
