Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 370 Mo Fei's First Time ([-])

There are only two days until the game between Tottenham Hotspur and Twente. Tottenham are facing the enemy up and down. This is their first Champions League game after 20 years. Although the weakest opponent in Group A is in an away game, if they cannot win, it will be very difficult to qualify for the group.Since Inter Milan and Hoffenheim are too strong in their respective leagues, they have to prepare for the worst.

What makes Tottenham a headache now is that it is difficult to find the opponent's information. Although the current information is extremely developed, the previous experience of the Twente club is too ordinary. It is so ordinary that it is easy to ignore that there is such a club in the Netherlands.This is very similar to Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. If it weren't for the sudden emergence of Twente that suddenly overturned the dominance of Ajax and PSV Eindhoven over the Eredivisie, people would never have noticed that the Eredivisie still had Such an unknown team.

The information that Tottenham can get now is only some things on the bright side-Twente, the new Eredivisie champion, the team was established on April 1965, 4, by Enschede Sports Club and Enschede Boys The two teams were merged.The current coach, Englishman Steve McLaren, plays at the Ark Stadium. His previous best result in the league was the runner-up in the Eredivisie League in 14-2003. He was qualified to participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers in the 2004-08 season...

In addition, there are a few videos about Twente, which are the game videos that the scouts managed to get from the Netherlands. There are some information about the matches between Twente and Ajax and other Dutch giants.However, not to mention that there is a big gap between the video and the reality, even if it is not bad at all, Tottenham can't see any characteristics of the opponent, because these few videos Twente is purely a supporting role, presumably if it is not because of Ajax Wait for these teams, these tapes will never come out.

This result made the players and coaches of the Tottenham club feel speechless for a while. The Twente team is too mysterious, right?Even Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga wasn't so unknown at the beginning, right?

Of course, these news are not completely useless, at least the Tottenham people know that the opponent has more experience in the Champions League than them, and the opponent even went to the European arena in the 04-05 season to play soy sauce...

In the end, the coaching staff simply made a decision for the team to stick to its own style of playing.I believe that with Tottenham's current hot status, as long as they play their own football well, there should still be great hope of winning.

September [-]th was Tottenham Hotspur's last home training before the Champions League match. On the morning of the [-]th, this North London powerhouse, which is on the road to revival, took a plane to the Netherlands. Schede, and then stayed in the top hotel in this small town.

After adapting to training on the field, Tottenham coach Redknapp expressed his surprise at the Ark Stadium: "This stadium is much better than we thought..."

Redknapp's words express the strangeness of Tottenham players to this team.In their imagination, this little-known team will definitely not have any good stadiums, because the home courts of generally unknown teams are generally not very good, and they have seen many stadiums like rotten vegetable fields , the owner of the venue is not famous...

In fact, the first thing they felt when they came to this small town was that it was clean, and then it was gone.Because this small town is so small, it is said to be clean because it is indeed very clean. The streets are as neat as a flat mirror, spotless.Also because of its small size, the facilities in this city are also very simple. Take the so-called top hotel they stayed in as an example, it may not even compare to the most ordinary hotel in London... In this case, they don't It's weird to think of the Arke as a rotten, narrow vegetable patch.

As opponents in the same group, Tottenham Hotspur obviously don't know enough about Twente.Although this team does not have a long history and no glory, they have always adhered to the overall combat style, which is why they were able to defeat the star-studded Ajax and PSV Eindhoven to become the Netherlands. The reason for a new king.

Of course, it would be wrong to say that Tottenham don’t understand their opponents at all. At least their head coach McClaren was once a "popular man" in English football. He was popular because he was the coach of the England national team. , once refused to recruit Beckham to join the national team, and the Three Lions led by him suffered hatred in the 08 European Football Championship and did not even make it to the finals. This made him the laughing stock of England and the world...

It can be said that McLaren is the biggest "acquaintance" that Tottenham players can know in the current Twente team, but their impression of each other is negative. There is no way, who is called McLaren's notoriety What about Yuanyang?When they heard that the coach who led Twente to win the Eredivisie championship was McClaren, everyone was surprised and their glasses were broken. Some people even wondered whether McClaren had a different name. His own brother.After all, one is a successful champion coach, and the other is a loser who only knows how to talk. It is difficult for people to associate the two together...

Of course, Twente is not very impressed with Tottenham Hotspur. After all, the opponent has not participated in European competitions for 20 years. The rise of Tottenham is just a matter of last season. It is undoubtedly difficult to find their information. of.However, thanks to Tottenham's recent crazy momentum, Twente coach McClaren still found a lot of useful information, the most important of which is that the opponent is very good, and the current state is very good... In short, Tottenham He is a difficult Lord to deal with.

September [-]th, the Champions League match day.

This day is destined to become a day worth writing about in the history of Tottenham Hotspur.

The team from the north London area of ​​the United Kingdom is about to usher in their first Champions League game on the road to revival, against the Eredivisie champions Twente.

The game didn't start until 45pm local time, but from [-]pm onwards, fans began to gather outside the Arke Stadium.The fans of Twente are particularly active. Looking outside the stadium, they are basically home team fans wearing red jerseys, like a wave of red that can't be seen at a glance, which makes Tottenham players mistakenly believe that the opponent is the whole city. out.

However, there are also many London fans who followed Tottenham to witness the history. At least 6000 people came. The Tottenham fans in white jerseys gathered outside the stadium like a brilliant blooming white lily. The unique red waves echo each other, which is truly spectacular.

These fans will follow the team into the Alke Stadium to watch the game. They don’t have to worry about not being able to buy tickets, because the city is too small, and even if the whole city is dispatched, it will not be able to accommodate more than 24000 seats. More visiting team fans came to the scene to cheer for the team.

While waiting for the stadium staff to check the tickets, fans from both sides gathered around the stadium and chatted loudly. When they saw a camera, they leaned forward and shouted excitedly at the camera——

"Tottenham! Tottenham! White lilies in bloom - Tottenham Hotspur!"

"Twente! Twente! We are Eredivisie champions Twente!"

The fans of both sides are obviously very excited. After all, it is an honor to be able to participate in a game like the Champions League.It is the happiest thing for them to be able to experience this kind of glory with the team.

This game has also received a lot of attention in China. After all, it is the highest level game of European clubs with Chinese players, and no one wants to miss it.China Sports TV station CCTV-5 has confirmed that it will broadcast the game live to fans across the country.

In fact, CCTV-5 only started to broadcast the UEFA Champions League in the 09-10 season, that is, last season. Originally, CCTV had the idea of ​​broadcasting the UEFA Champions League, but the price has not been negotiated.And Murphy landed in the Bundesliga and led Hoffenheim to win the league championship with an unstoppable momentum, which made CCTV determined to broadcast the Champions League.After all, although it is not the first time that there are Chinese players in the UEFA Champions League, it is unprecedented to participate as the captain and the core of the absolute main force. It is not at all possible for the soy sauce party role of PSV Eindhoven that Sun Xiang played for at that time. comparable.In this way, the ratings will definitely not be rebroadcasted, unless the head of the TV station is kicked by a donkey.

Although Mo Fei left the Bundesliga after leaving the Bundesliga, this does not prevent CCTV-5 from continuing to broadcast the UEFA Champions League. Anyway, Tottenham are also qualified to participate in the Champions League. They don't care which team Mo Fei goes to, as long as they can see his heroic appearance. .

The game between Tottenham Hotspur and Twente is the first UEFA Champions League match broadcasted by CCTV this season. In fact, there is another match between Inter Milan and Hoffenheim in Group A and Group B. Tel Aviv workers and Lyon.Schalke face Benfica in Group C, Manchester United face Rangers, Valencia and Bursaspor in Group C, and Barcelona face Panathinaikos and Copenhagen Rubin Kazan in Group D.

However, there is no dispute about which game to choose to broadcast live on the free channel, which is the fifth channel with the widest coverage. Although Manchester United, Inter Milan, and Barcelona all have a large number of fans in China, how can they compare? Could it be the influence in China?Mo Fei's fans cross the boundaries of clubs. Among them are Manchester United fans, Arsenal fans, Real Madrid fans and Barcelona fans, but when it comes to football superstars in their own countries, they all choose to support Mo Fei without hesitation.

Rebroadcasting this game is the least controversial result, otherwise no matter which giant's game is rebroadcasted, it will cause dissatisfaction among their fans.However, there is no such problem in Tottenham where Murphy plays. Although the fans may not be fans of Tottenham, this does not prevent them from watching Tottenham's game, because it is a move to support players from their own country.What's more, as the only image spokesperson of Chinese football in the world, Mo Fei's game should also be broadcast.Huaxia TV does not rebroadcast games involving Chinese players, isn't that a problem with the head?

At the same time, CCTV-5 is still preparing to send reporters to the White Hart Lane Stadium to broadcast Tottenham’s matches against Inter Milan and Hoffenheim. This is the most important event that Chinese fans want to see. Ha, one is against last season’s Triple Crown Wang, one is playing against Murphy's former team, what a gimmick!
Thanks to Mofei, the football commentators of China CCTV-5 Sports TV Station have the opportunity to go abroad to commentate on European games, instead of just watching the big-screen digital TV in BJ's small live broadcast room.If the level of football is to be improved, it is necessary to participate in more high-level competitions. Just like Mo Fei, the gap with domestic players is getting wider and wider.The same is true for the level of commentators. Huaxia's diving, table tennis, and badminton commentators are all very high-level, but football is just...
