Hexagonal God

Chapter 459 Four Nations Invitational Tournament
However, Su Mo had never thought about joining the national football team. He naturally had his own way.

He asked Zheng Zhi: "Do you think it is possible for me to play as a special guest in a friendly match and represent the national team?"

"Ah! Is it possible?" Zheng Zhi was a little confused and was stunned by the question.

"I think it should be about the same. Friendly matches don't involve too many honors, and I'm the sponsor of the match. I just asked to be a substitute in one of the games. At least I should give this little face to the sponsor."

Zheng Zhi still felt that it was unlikely. He did not doubt that Su Mo could sponsor the competition. After all, he had the ability to do so.

But there is no precedent for him to appear on stage as a special guest.

Moreover, even if it is a friendly match, it involves honor, and the Football Association also needs to save face. If you lose a friendly match, the fans will still scold you.

Seeing his dazed look, Su Mo knew that he had no say in the matter and still had to discuss it with the people from the Football Association tomorrow.

"Thank you, Zheng Zhi, for practicing with me. Let's stop here today."

Zheng Zhi nodded. "Um... can I still come tomorrow? I haven't met Ronaldo yet. I want to take a photo with him."

"Okay, let's come together tomorrow, still here, but it might be a little later. I have a dinner appointment with the chairman of the Football Association and Perrin."

Zheng Zhi was suddenly filled with awe. Only then did he realize how unattainable this young man in front of him was.

Don't be fooled by his approachable appearance at the moment; that's because he is humble and low-key.

Su Mo called the driver and asked him to take Zheng Zhi to the Ritz-Carlton, where a suite had already been booked for him.

Even as a national team player, he couldn't afford to stay in such a high-end suite that costs tens of thousands of dollars a night in a hotel. Zheng Zhi happily followed him there.

Su Mo stayed here for a while and then returned to the hotel.

Take a shower, then go to sleep with your skirt wrapped around your chest.

At noon the next day, Su Mo received news that Perrin had arrived in China.

Su Mo booked a private room at the Capital Hotel and asked Li Yunfeng to notify Coach Cai and Pei Lan to meet at five o'clock in the evening.

Su Mo stayed in the hotel for a while and then took a car to the airport to pick up Ronaldo.

I called Xiaochun and they said that the airport had arranged for Ronaldo to go through the green channel, which greatly increased his safety.

After waiting at the airport for a while, Ronaldo's plane arrived and he met Su Mo at the airport.

After seeing Su Mo, Ronaldo was obviously very excited.

He took two quick steps to Su Mo and gave him a hug.

"Hey! Su! I'm so happy to see you. Ever since I saw your video in northern Myanmar, I've dreamed of meeting you one day and learning some Chinese Kung Fu from you. I never thought this day would come so soon."

Su Mo also smiled: "I can teach you, but you have to play football with me."

"Hahaha! That's great! I haven't practiced in Japan these few days, and my skills feel a little rusty. I have to go to the court to get back into the swing of things."

"Okay, but before that, come and have a meal with some of my Chinese friends."

"OK! I'm craving Chinese food too. I had it once during my last trip to China, and I still miss the taste."

"Let's go, get in the car."

Su Mo invited Ronaldo to get in the car, and at the same time asked someone to pick up Zheng Zhi and go to the Capital Hotel together.

At this point, Zheng Zhi became a follower and no longer had the aura of a national team boss.

It was 4:50 when Su Mo arrived here, and everyone was already there. No one was late, and they all arrived earlier than him.

Su Mo is a student and an internet celebrity, but more importantly, he is an entrepreneur and one of the top ten young people in the country.

So no one dared to look down on Su Mo, and some even felt proud to have a meal with him.

But Ronaldo's arrival today still shocked everyone.

This is a world-renowned superstar, one of the two most famous players along with Messi, and everyone knows him.

"Oh! Su Mo, you actually brought Cristiano here. This is so shocking."

Li Yunfeng stood up and began to introduce everyone to each other.

Coach Cai and Perrin were both there, and Su Mo had a good impression of them.

At least Coach Cai did not go to jail like other heads of the Football Association, and the team performed pretty well when Perrin led it.

Ronaldo even knew Perrin and they exchanged a few words when they met.

Then everyone took their seats. Su Mo, as the host today, sat in the main seat, with Ronaldo and Coach Cai sitting on Su Mo's left and right respectively.

Li Yunfeng had already ordered the dishes, which were served quickly.

For this kind of occasion, Su Mo's requirements were for something good and expensive. A few bottles of vintage red wine from Burgundy made everyone very happy.

The cost of this meal is over a million. Even if you are rich or noble, you can't afford it casually.

Coach Cai had a good impression of Su Mo and spoke up at the dinner table.

"Su Mo, I heard from the leaders of the General Administration that they want you to participate in the Asian Games this summer. Your performance in the 100m and 100m freestyle really shocked the General Administration. But now, due to your status, the leaders of the General Administration are a little embarrassed. But I guess it won't be long before someone contacts you. After all, winning glory for the country is a good thing. I guess they will ask your friends to persuade you to join the national team."

Su Mo smiled and nodded: "Winning glory for the country is indeed a good thing. I can consider the Asian Games, but joining the training team is not an option. After all, I have a lot of things to do in the outside world." "I understand! So I thought you might see you at the track and field stadium, but you didn't expect it to be here. Could it be that Su Shen also wants to play football?"

Coach Cai asked, also giving Su Mo a way out, saying that if you have any requests, you can raise them now.

Su Mo also spoke up.

"We invited Coach Cai and Mr. Perrin to come here this time because we have some reasons."

Su Mo considered his words carefully. "Su Tang Company is planning to hold a friendly match between our national team and a South Korean team composed mainly of players from Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. The match will be held in Shanghai. Su Tang will cover all expenses for this match. I guarantee that the ratings will exceed any previous match, including official matches, even the 02 World Cup!"

Hearing this, Coach Cai was a little skeptical.

"Su Shen, we can explore the idea of ​​a friendly match, but will the ratings be that high?"

Su Mo nodded confidently: "Of course I will, because I will be a special guest substitute in that game. With this gimmick, do you think the ratings will be high?"

Coach Cai and the others present looked at each other and were all shocked.

And this kind of operation?

Perrin asked in disbelief: "Su Shen, can you play football?"

At this time, Su Mo gave Zheng Zhi, who had always been an unknown person, a look, and Zheng Zhi immediately understood what he meant.

"Yesterday I played football with Suarez, and he beat me 3-0. I didn't let him down at all."

This made Coach Cai and Perrin even more surprised. Zheng Zhi is the main player of the national team, but he was beaten 3-0 in a one-on-one match. Is Su Mo's level so high?
Coach Cai began to ponder and analyze the feasibility of this matter.

At this time, Li Yunfeng raised the cup.

"Coach Cai, I think this is feasible. A friendly match isn't a regular event. Su Tang has put in the money and effort, so it shouldn't be a big deal to let Su Mo come on as a substitute once."

Jiang Yun also said, "Yes, the problems in the past were mainly due to the dissatisfaction of the masses, but if Su Mo appears, I think everyone will be happy to see him. So as long as you agree, there will be no obstacles."

Perrin had no objection. He was new to the company and had to listen to Coach Cai in everything.

Coach Cai considered for a moment and said hesitantly, "Hosting a friendly match isn't something you can do lightly. Even if the funding isn't provided by the Football Association, there's generally no precedent for two teams directly playing each other."

"To ensure their country doesn't finish last in this friendly match, they usually invite three other countries to play a four-nation invitational tournament. Suarez said playing against South Korea is fine, but we should also have a strong country and another with a similar level to ours. We should have teams of different levels and echelons, so that we can train the team."

After saying that, Coach Cai looked at Su Mo and said, "If we can invite teams from two more countries, then we can probably hold the event. It's just that this happened so suddenly, the national teams haven't made any preparations, and we don't have a clue how to invite them for the time being."

Hearing this, Su Mo turned his gaze to Ronaldo.

"Cristiano, does your national team have time recently? How about I invite you to play a four-nation invitational tournament within a week?"

Ronaldo thought for a moment and said, "Everyone has their own skills now. I can call on most of my teammates to come. Of course, I can't guarantee that all of them will be the main players. There may be some substitutes. I think I can find about two-thirds of the players."

"That's great. Invite your teammates to come. I'll cover all the round-trip expenses. In addition, I'll give a reward of 100,000 euros to every Portuguese player who comes."

In fact, the only real big star in Portugal is Cristiano Ronaldo. It is not easy for others to make money. It is definitely not a small amount for Su Mo to give each person 100,000 euros.

Ronaldo was also happy to create profits for his teammates on the national team. He snapped his fingers and said, "OK! That's easy. Leave it to me!"

Seeing that Su Mo immediately dealt with Portugal, Coach Cai and Perrin were both delighted.

With Su Mo's promotion and Ronaldo's appearance, this invitational tournament will be world-class.

However, I don’t know whether South Korea has been decided. Besides, there is still one country missing.

Su Mo thought about it, picked up his phone, and contacted someone he hadn't contacted for a long time.

I met Dawa, the son of King Rama X of Thailand, on a gambling boat!

The call went through and Dawa was very surprised.

"Su! Is it really you?"

"It's me, old friend. How are you?"

"Very good, Su! Thanks to you, I took your advice and have become our country's Minister of Construction. My father likes me very much now and no longer talks about expelling me from the royal family."

"Congratulations then."

"Su, what's wrong with you?"

"Well, I'd like to hold a four-nation football tournament. It'll be attended by our national team, the Portuguese national team led by Cristiano Ronaldo, and the South Korean team led by Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. We're still missing one team. Would your national team like to come and compete against Mr. Cristiano?"

Dawa became interested as soon as he heard it: "Of course I'm willing. Um, how much money will this invitational tournament give us?"

Su Mo shook his head: "I don't have any money. If you don't want me to, I'll find someone else."

Are you kidding? With Cristiano Ronaldo's reputation, you also want to participate in the competition as a special guest. It's such a big gimmick, it's good enough that they don't charge you any fees.

Not only did Thailand not pay, South Korea also didn't pay a penny.

As expected, Dawa immediately changed his tone: "Okay, okay, no money required, we'll join!"

It's settled, the Thai team has agreed to come. Next, as long as we can deal with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on Jung Joon-hee's side, this four-nation invitational tournament will be almost settled.

And Su Mo will be able to appear as a substitute in the game as a special guest.
