Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 376 The Laughing Stock (First Update Guaranteed)

The Champions League final is no longer unfamiliar to Liverpool fans, they only experienced it last season.

It was a wonderful experience for them. They received the warmest welcome in distant Russia. .

Zenit St. Petersburg fans cooperated with them to transform the Gazprom Arena into Anfield.

But this time, they had no such luck.

This season's Champions League final will be held in Milan, Italy. The San Siro Stadium, the home of the Milan duo, will be the venue for the final.

Logically speaking, they are all in Italy, so Naples fans can easily come to Milan to cheer for Chen Yingxiong.

but it is not the truth.

UEFA has clearly learned from the experience of last season's Champions League final. They have reserved very, very few tickets for neutral fans this time.

Generally speaking, the Champions League final will allocate a fixed number of tickets to fans of the two participating teams, and then the remaining tickets, in addition to being distributed to sponsors, will be sold publicly to facilitate neutral fans.

But this time UEFA slightly adjusted the ticket distribution rules, which frustrated Naples fans' desire to come to cheer for Chen Yingxiong.

Meazza San Siro Stadium can accommodate more than 85,000 people. UEFA has allocated as many as 25,000 tickets to fans of both participating teams.

Each team can have 25,000 fans come to Milan to cheer for the team.

That’s 50,000 tickets sold out.

The remaining 35,000 tickets were distributed to 28,000 sponsors. The explanation given by UEFA was that this was a rare peak matchup. Sponsors responded enthusiastically and enthusiastically to the game. In order to meet the requirements of sponsors as much as possible, they have specially reserved some tickets.

There isn’t much of a problem with this explanation. Although UEFA is nakedly trying to please sponsors. But in today’s world, it’s hard to move without money. Football is highly commercialized, so it is understandable to please the uncle who gives you money. Even if you lose part of the box office revenue for this, if you please the sponsors, you will get back the original money from the sponsorship fees later.

In this way, there are only less than 7,000 tickets left for neutral fans - and some seats are not sold, mainly for safety reasons, so that the stadium cannot be filled up, otherwise in the event of an emergency. When you want to evacuate, there will be crowding because there is not enough space in the stadium.

These 7,000 tickets are for sale all over the world, which means that not only local fans in Italy can buy them. Fans around the world can order online and by phone.

It is absolutely impossible for Naples fans to book more than 6,000 tickets.

In this way, there will be no phenomenon in the stands where there were far more fans supporting Liverpool than Barcelona last season.

Liverpool will not be able to make the final venue their home court again.

This shows how far UEFA has gone in order to contain Liverpool.

But Liverpool is not the kind of team that can't survive without home advantage.

Therefore, UEFA's approach is destined to be useless.

※※※

Real Madrid arrived in Milan, the venue for the final, three days before the start of the game and took advantage of Mourinho's good relationship with Inter Milan. Real Madrid has gained access to various facilities at Inter Milan's training ground.

Liverpool did not receive such treatment.

Originally, Liverpool planned to contact a club in Milan to see if they could rent their training ground, even if they paid money.

But they were rejected by two clubs in Milan.

Inter Milan rejected them because Real Madrid had already made an agreement with Inter Milan based on their relationship with Mourinho. Naturally, it is impossible to help Mourinho's enemies.

When AC Milan rejected their request, the principle was even simpler.

Because of Chen Yingxiong.

AC Milan hates Chen Yingxiong very much. Or...in the entire Italian football world, except Naples. Other teams hate Chen Yingxiong very much.

Chen Yingxiong has no friends in Italian football.

So AC Milan rejected Liverpool.

As an Italian, Niang immediately understood why.

So he no longer considers going to Italy to find a training ground to prepare for the Champions League.

You still have to have backbone as a human being. Since the other person hates you, why should you be shy and approach him?

Besides, Italy is not far from England. Unlike last season in faraway Russia, there is no need to go to training a few days in advance.

We, Liverpool, can win the championship even if we rush over just one day before the game to adapt to the venue!

Niang believes that as a team that wants to dominate Europe, it must have such confidence.

So Liverpool no longer looked for training bases for other teams, but made final preparations at its own Melwood training base.

In fact, the effect of doing this is better than going to Milan to find other teams' training bases to train. Because everyone is familiar with everything at Melwood, they don't need to adapt to a new training base.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong originally didn't know about the news of being rejected by AC Milan, because this matter was only at Niang's level, and only Niang and the other party's contacts knew about it.

But I don’t know why. Maybe it’s AC Milan’s hatred of Chen Yingxiong, or maybe it’s because they want to see the joke between Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool.

In short, this matter was exposed by the media.

Then Liverpool became the laughing stock of all Europe!

It is normal to take the initiative to contact the opposing club and ask for permission to borrow their training base. Generally, if asked, they will agree. After all, no one knows if one day he will ask someone else to borrow a training base. Being convenient for others is equal to being convenient for yourself.

Therefore, being rejected is hard to encounter and unimaginable.

Unexpectedly, Liverpool was really rejected by AC Milan.

This is a huge shame for Liverpool, but for those who hate Liverpool, this is really "pleasant to hear".

Liverpool are so strong this season and everyone wants to see them unlucky, but the chance of seeing them unlucky on the pitch is very low, so it is also a good thing to see them deflated off the pitch.

So such a thing was originally a small matter, but when the media hyped it up with ulterior motives, it suddenly became a very big deal.

Everyone laughed at Liverpool's poor popularity.

"As a century-old giant in England, something like this happened... I don't want to say that this is rudeness of AC Milan. I just want to say that Liverpool should take a good look at themselves! What brought them to this point? This step?"

"The matter of Liverpool being rejected by AC Milan has continued to ferment in the past two days. People from all walks of life have come forward to express their opinions. Some people support AC Milan and some sympathize with Liverpool. What I want to say is that AC Milan is the most gentlemanly person I have ever seen. One of the teams, when they made this decision, there must be a reason... What is the reason? The reason is Chen Yingxiong. Yes, this Chinese is the cancer of the century-old British giants! He provokes everywhere and makes enemies Countless! Such a person is simply a disgrace to professional players! And Liverpool has such a scumbag as the core of the team. When they made this decision, they should have known that this day would come sooner or later!"

"AC Milan should hate Chen Yingxiong to the core. Whether in Naples or Liverpool, he has ruined AC Milan's good things many times... So I think it is very normal for AC Milan to reject Liverpool's request. But Liverpool's Did general manager Niang have a seizure? He actually went to AC Milan?"

…

Although there were voices of dissatisfaction for Liverpool, these voices were insignificant amidst the huge wave of ridicule.

Before the Champions League final, everyone originally thought there was nothing good to do. Who would have thought that before the game started, something like this would happen.

This is really a "big deal".

Everyone paid attention with great enthusiasm. Whether it's the media or the fans.

This is even more true on the Internet, where Liverpool supporters and fans of other teams are making a fuss.

Similarly, a large number of reporters flocked outside Liverpool's training base, wanting to interview Liverpool players to see what they thought of this matter.

How else to see it?

Everyone at Liverpool Club was overwhelmed by this sudden incident.

At first, when the media called Niang's office, he was caught off guard - he didn't know that the news was spreading outside.

Then when he learned about this from reporters, he immediately dropped the phone.

He was furious, and immediately called AC Milan to ask why the other party wanted to leak this matter.

The other party acted very innocently and claimed that he never leaked it intentionally. The omnipotent media must have used some despicable means to secretly dig it out...

In short, it completely abdicates all responsibilities.

But how could Niang not know the truth? Now he can only regret that he should not have gone to AC Milan in the first place.

What a bad person!

It's clear everyone is watching the Liverpool joke now.

But what can he do? Did he deny it? No, it just makes others laugh louder. Because Liverpool don't even have the courage to admit it, how weak this is.

But if you admit it, wouldn't it give more people an excuse to laugh at Liverpool?

He is even thinking now whether it was specially used by Spain to interfere with Liverpool's preparations for the game... Otherwise, why did the news come from the Spanish media in the first place?

This club manager, who always has everything under control, felt a headache for the first time...
