The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 494: Bearing Fruit! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Among ATV's newly launched channels, the sports channel stands out.

At that time, almost none of the television stations, including those in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, had dedicated sports channels.

ATV's move was quite bold.

In reality, sports channels are very attractive to young people, and as long as the programs are not bad, the audience's loyalty is extremely high.

At the same time, it has a very close linkage with real-world sports events.

The sports channel naturally focuses on football matches.

They had already purchased the broadcasting rights for the 1993-1994 Dutch Eredivisie season, as well as some matches of the English Premier League.

The Dutch Eredivisie football team managed by Jiang Tiansheng and Fulham, managed by Wu Feng, were naturally the focus of the broadcasts.

Last season, Ronaldo made a name for himself in Jiang Tiansheng's Dutch Eredivisie team and immediately became the Eredivisie's best young player of the season.

In the birthplace of the total football strategy, this guy is like a fish in water.

After honing his skills for most of the season in the Hong Kong Island professional football league, this guy has greatly improved both his technique and his ability to adapt on the field.

Clearly, he had remembered Wu Feng's earlier reminder.

At seventeen, Ronaldo's impact on the field was already quite astonishing; otherwise, how could he have won the attention and praise of so many Dutch football legends?

In a normal timeline, if this guy were in the Dutch Eredivisie, he'd be incredibly reckless!
Regardless of the match or the opponent's role, he charges forward as soon as he gets the ball, just like the players from the football kingdom who have just entered the European leagues, perhaps even more self-centered.

Perfectly, his strength is clearly a level above the opposing players, and every time he attacks and breaks through, he achieves his goal, which makes him even more formidable.

Perhaps at the beginning, the opposing players gave him, a young player, some face and didn't use any aggressive tactics to score.

During his time in the Dutch Eredivisie, Ronaldo rarely suffered from injuries.

When he arrived at Barcelona, ​​he completely exploded, and at the same time, he began to receive special attention from opponents, instead of being treated as a rookie.

In fact, in the eyes of some fans, Ronaldo's time at Barcelona may have been his peak performance.

Scoring 34 league goals in one season, and in a manner that was quite hated by many, was definitely a peak performance.

After joining Inter Milan and later Real Madrid, Ronaldo rarely scored more than thirty goals in a single league season.

Currently, Ronaldo's playing style has changed somewhat, with more instances of him cooperating with his teammates.

And so it was; with the club's intentional protection, he made 27 league appearances and scored 22 goals.

Meanwhile, he also scored four goals in the UEFA Champions League, helping the team advance to the second round of the group stage.

Such a performance is already quite remarkable.

The worst is purely archery skills.

After all, he no longer scores solo goals as often, so he takes more shots from outside the penalty area, which naturally increases the demands on his shooting skills.

However, he only suffered one minor injury throughout the season, otherwise his attendance rate would not have been so high.

Anyone with common sense can see this clearly!

The team's coaching staff is intentionally protecting Ronaldo, limiting his appearances and playing time.

Even so, Ronaldo's goal tally still reached 22, and his signs as a top striker were quite evident. If it weren't for the strong emergence of Ajax's young generation, Ronaldo might very well have become the number one young talent in the Eredivisie.

With Ronaldo performing so well, it's no wonder that teams want to buy him.

PSV Eindhoven, another Dutch Eredivisie team, is a big fan of Ronaldo.

In particular, their head coach Robson is quite fond of Ronaldo.

In the normal timeline, he also brought Ronaldo to the Dutch league, where he immediately burst onto the scene without showing any signs of being unaccustomed to the new environment.

Of course, Ronaldo is unlikely to transfer to another team in the Dutch Eredivisie at the moment.

After a season of reflection, his overall strength has improved again.

In the early 1993-94 season, Ronaldo made a strong showing, averaging almost one goal per game, and topped the Dutch Eredivisie scoring charts.

It's important to know that the Dutch Eredivisie at that time had many famous European football players!
His continued outstanding performances had already attracted widespread attention in European football.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Batistuta, the powerful Argentine striker who had played for the team for almost three seasons, also had a breakout season.

His goal tally is no less than Ronaldo's, and most of them are visually striking goals.

The two formed a formidable strike partnership for Jiang Tiansheng's Dutch Eredivisie powerhouse, and with the addition of a top Swedish striker, Larsson, their attack was truly on fire.

With Rivaldo anchoring the midfield, he is a top-tier midfielder who can be ranked among the best in Europe.

Good results, many goals, and a crazy attacking tactic make it a feast for the eyes and a source of great excitement.

In addition, the broadcast of key matches in the Dutch Eredivisie has attracted the attention of many fans shortly after the sports channel launched.

Ronaldo, in particular, has become one of the Hong Kong fans' own, after all, he played most of the season in Hong Kong.

Thanks to the commentators' deliberate favoritism and the influence of the trend in Hong Kong, Ronaldo quickly became famous among fans in Southeast Asia.

Then, his various posters sold like hotcakes; never underestimate the purchasing power of fans.

In addition, authentic jerseys and even shoes of various grades quickly spread throughout major cities in Southeast Asia.

Because football falls under the category of sports, it was not deliberately blocked by the United States and the United States. The sports channels of the two countries' television stations purchased the broadcasting rights from ATV, and Ronaldo's fame rapidly increased among fans in both countries.

In particular, they paid even more attention when they learned that Ronaldo came from the Hong Kong professional football league.

If I wouldn't say I consider them one of my own, then at least I'm half one of them!

The purchasing power of these two countries for official jerseys, shoes, and posters is even greater than that of fans in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia combined.

Similarly, Fulham, a Premier League team, naturally received the same treatment as the home team.

The Premier League has a more aggressive and domineering style of play. At first glance, it may seem simple and straightforward, but upon closer inspection, it is full of power, speed, and a contest of perseverance.

Fulham's attacking football combines technique and impact, along with a very fast pace, making it quite exciting.

The performances of Portugal's two midfield maestros, Figo and Rui Costa, need no further introduction, while the young Zidane has shown signs of mastery.

Their midfield combination is the most fluid and pleasing to the eye in the entire Premier League, significantly enhancing the team's attacking power and fluidity, making them seem like a non-Premier League team.

With such technical skill and visual appeal, as well as a powerful impact, his performance naturally garnered attention from the entire English football community, and even from the European football scene.
