Chapter 246: Short-sighted CCTV (Second update, please vote for me!)

Chen Yingxiong's record-breaking event is still being hyped, reporters are enjoying it, and fans also like to watch it. Especially Chinese fans, their favorite thing to do these days is to search the Internet for various news reports about Chen Yingxiong’s record breaking. In the QQ group of fans about Chen Yingxiong, there are also international students studying abroad. , spontaneously translate the news about Chen Yingxiong from foreign media that they can see, and then send it to the group to share it with their peers.

There is news about Chen Yingxiong everywhere on Weibo, blogs, and forums.

The name Chen Yingxiong has also become the most popular keyword in various search engines during this period.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Yingxiong - he has no way of knowing.

He has to prepare for the team's last league game, and at the same time he has to continue to confront those extreme fans.

After playing against Inter Milan, he successfully changed some people's views on him, but it is absolutely impossible for the most extreme fans to change their views - Chen Yingxiong did not want to change the minds of those extreme fans. It has been three seasons, and he has not succeeded. Could it be that this one game can make the opponent abandon the dark side and switch sides?

After slapping the extreme fans in the game, the gap between Chen Yingxiong and the extreme fans grew stronger.

Anyway, people who didn't hate him before hated him because of this incident, and people who hated him before hated him even more because of this slap...

In order to avoid double interference from fans and the media, Naples continues to implement a closed training mode. Not only that, Mazzarri also asked everyone on the team not to talk in front of the media about Chen Yingxiong going to Liverpool, Chen Yingxiong and Naples fans As for topics such as relationships, other matters, such as Chen Yingxiong's record breaking, can be discussed openly, so this is not strictly a gag order. Club manager Bigang also made the same decision, not allowing people within the club to gossip to the media.

This is a kind of protection for Chen Yingxiong. Of course, this is not because Naples is so humane, considerate and caring about the players. The final analysis is because Chen Yingxiong is very important to them now. Naples has the last two games left this season, and the two championships are all decided in these two games. Chen Yingxiong is the key figure in the team's victory. If he is not guaranteed to be in excellent and normal condition, the team will not even think about those two championships.

Protecting Chen Yingxiong is actually for the sake of the team.

If he were replaced by a substitute player and something like this happened, rumors about this player leaving the team would be flying all over the next day.

There is no way, this is professional football, the world of adults, it is so realistic and cruel. The status a person possesses is definitely not obtained by luck. Everything must rely on one's own strength. If you have the ability, you can make a lot of money and become a big star. No strength? Sorry, no one will remember who you are.

Now that Chen Yingxiong has decided to leave Liverpool and the two club agreements have been signed, Naples will of course squeeze Chen Yingxiong to the maximum extent. Just like when AC Milan sold Kaka to Real Madrid, Kaka's condition was extremely poor when he went to Real Madrid. He was no longer as brave as he used to be and was frequently injured. Later, everyone learned that he had been injured in his last season at AC Milan. The various injuries he suffered after going to Real Madrid were all caused by AC Milan.

Later, there were legends that the all-powerful Milan laboratory conducted a detailed physical examination of Kaká and concluded that "he will not be able to return to his peak condition." AC Milan sold Kaká for 6,500 Sold to Real Madrid at a high price of 10,000 euros, killing Real Madrid severely. It can be regarded as Kaka's final attack for AC Milan.

AC Milan squeezed Kaka's remaining value without leaving a single point.

Naples is about to earn 70 million pounds from Chen Yingxiong, and of course they have to let Chen Yingxiong win the championship for them before leaving. The league championship is easier to say. There will be more opportunities for this in the future. Naples has won it before, so it may not be that rare. The Champions League champion, on the other hand, was the pinnacle of Naples' glory when Maradona was there. Even then, they had never won the Champions League. But now they have a chance. Can Naples stop thinking?

By then, Chen Yingxiong will have won the championship for the team and earned 70 million pounds for the team. For Naples, it will be a happy ending.

As for whether Chen Yingxiong, who has tried his best this season, can continue to maintain such a good state in the Premier League, that is not what Naples cares about.

The last week of this season, if nothing else, is also Chen Yingxiong's last week in Naples. In the media's crazy hype about Chen Yingxiong's record-breaking thirty-six goals and his disputes with the fans, It passed quickly.

Starting from the afternoon of May 22, the final round of Serie A league games will kick off one after another.

The Serie A league is really strange. The final rounds of leagues in other countries have to kick off at the same time to prevent cheating, match-fixing, tacit understanding, etc. But in Italy, part of their final round was played in the afternoon and part in the evening. It seems that there is no fear of competitors making targeted changes after knowing each other's results. For example, if the championship opponent has already lost the game and the team wins the championship early, then they can sell favors in the last round of the league to avoid losing to the opponent who needs to be relegated. In this way, when the two teams meet in the future, they can naturally ask the other side to show off their old friendship...

Serie A actually did this so openly, seemingly without fear of criticism from others.

It's a good thing that the games of the two teams that may compete for the league championship are scheduled at the same time.

AC Milan plays an away game against Udinese and Naples plays away against Juventus. Both games kick off at 8:45 pm local time in Italy and 2:45 a.m. Beijing time on the 23rd.

Poor Chinese fans have to stay up all night or crawl out of bed with difficulty...

But in order to express support for Chen Yingxiong, no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it.

Today, Chen Yingxiong's parents sat in front of the TV like they did in the last game, preparing to watch this game.

Because Chen Yingxiong is in Naples, CCTV will now broadcast a Naples game on the public channel Sports Channel every weekend. As for the games of wealthy teams such as AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Roma, if the time There is no conflict. Fortunately, if the time conflicts again, either it will be arranged to the paid channel Fengyun Football Channel, or it will be given up directly. Unless it is a major game such as "Milan City Derby" or "Italy El Clasico", there will be a chance to show your face on the public channel, which makes many fans of these wealthy clubs very unhappy. Unfortunately, there are far more people who like to watch Chen Yingxiong’s games than the fans of several giant clubs in China. After all, there are many Real Madrid fans, Manchester United fans, Chelsea fans, Bayern Munich fans, Arsenal fans, and Liverpool fans. Fans, Dortmund fans...and other fans of other teams hope to see Chen Yingxiong play every week.

In addition, Chen Yingxiong is also really impressive, performing well in almost every game, and averaging more than one goal per game this season. Chinese fans are fascinated by watching it, and Chen Yingxiong's performance after every weekend will arouse everyone's active discussion.

After all, in the top European competitions, it is better to be able to project one's simple emotions on one's own compatriots than on those who can't actually compete with oneself, right? After all, the vast majority of people still hope to see a strong sportsman emerge from their motherland who they can devote themselves to emotionally and will never be disappointed.

Just like Yao Ming, just like Liu Xiang, just like those Olympic champions.

Chen Yingxiong used his good performance to make everyone recognize him and think that he is worthy of all their emotions.

Especially in such a dark era for Chinese football, Chen Yingxiong's existence and performance are even more valuable.

It's a pity that after the news of Chen Yingxiong's transfer to Liverpool, many people may not be able to appreciate Chen Yingxiong's outstanding performance in time, at least not on the platform with the widest coverage and greatest influence in China. Every weekend is filled with exciting performances.

Because...CCTV did not buy the broadcasting rights of the Premier League at all!

As the most influential TV station in China, CCTV and the Premier League are no longer insulated from each other for one or two years. Initially, they could still use Premier League game highlights in programs such as Football Night and World Football, but later they could no longer even use game highlights. As a result, World Football, a program with a particularly domineering name, has no trace of the Premier League since then, and only occasionally has some FA Cup game highlights and highlights.

Last year, the contract of Tiansheng Media, which had monopolized the Premier League for three years, expired, and there were many negative news such as being unable to make ends meet, large-scale layoffs, and being on the verge of bankruptcy and liquidation. It is obviously no longer possible to continue to monopolize the broadcast rights of the Premier League in mainland China.

It was once rumored that CCTV would bid $18 million for the rights to broadcast the Premier League in mainland China over the next three years.

However, Jiang Heping, the sports channel director of CCTV, quickly came out to refute the rumors and denied the rumors. He also said that he wondered why the Premier League was worth so much money. He believes that not many people watch the Premier League and the ratings are not high, so why spend unimaginable prices to broadcast the Premier League?

At that time, CCTV made great efforts to buy the broadcast rights for the new season of Serie A. It is said that it cost two hundred to three hundred US dollars. Compared with the Premier League, Serie A is indeed very cheap...

Although Serie A revised the sale plan and increased the price at that time, CCTV still spent a lot of money to broadcast Serie A. why? It's not that CCTV really has no money, but because Serie A has Chen Yingxiong, and with him here, no matter how much money is spent, Jiang Heping thinks it can be recovered.

So, now...Jiang Heping was dragged out and whipped to death by the angry fans on the Internet, even the eighteenth generation of his ancestors...

Because he initially insisted not to spend nearly 100 million yuan to acquire the Premier League broadcast rights, starting from next season, Chinese fans will not be able to watch Chen Yingxiong's games on CCTV. At that time, everyone can only watch the game through various local channels, the Internet, etc., which is not as convenient as CCTV with nationwide coverage.

In fact, it is understandable that CCTV is not willing to spend 100 million yuan to purchase the broadcast rights of a single event. After all, CCTV's money is not Jiang Heping's money, and it can be taken at will. Originally, the hero played well in Naples. If this situation continues, it is estimated that Chen Yingxiong can play in Naples for a few more years. CCTV's efforts to purchase Serie A broadcast rights are obviously much better than the Premier League. In the past few seasons, due to Chen Yingxiong's presence, Serie A's current ratings are the highest among all CCTV football league broadcasts, and among all events, it is second only to the World Cup in South Africa.

Now that Chen Yingxiong is already in Serie A, what else is he considering in the Premier League?

Jiang Heping also has this thought - no matter how good the Premier League is, it can't compare to Serie A with Chen Yingxiong!

Unexpectedly, a bet between Chen Yingxiong and Chen Xing completely changed the broadcast pattern, and the Premier League suddenly became popular in mainland China. Although the Premier League lost 90% of its audience in mainland China during the three years when Tiansheng Media monopolized the Premier League, with the addition of Chen Yingxiong, wouldn't a big turnaround be easy?

In fact, after the Premier League learned about this incident, they also had the same idea - the Premier League will regain its vitality in China next season!

Now CCTV's sports channel is in a very embarrassing situation. Serie A has long been in decline. Since the Calciopoli scandal, Serie A has fallen into a situation of lack of local support. Many stadiums are simply not full during games, and the attendance rate is almost catching up with the Chinese Super League...

Even the locals don’t support it, let alone the Chinese who are thousands of miles away.

The enjoyment of Serie A is decreasing, famous stars are unwilling to come here, and various shady stories have chilled the hearts of supporters.

Just when CCTV was about to give up on Serie A, Chen Yingxiong came.

Serie A in China has suddenly come back to life!

But the good times didn't last long. After three seasons, Chen Yingxiong was leaving and going to the Premier League. Who still watches Serie A now?

You must know that many Chinese who stay up late every weekend to watch Naples games are not Naples fans, they are just fans of Chen Yingxiong. Wherever Chen Yingxiong goes, they will follow him, and they will not care about the life and death of Naples.

Maybe De Laurentiis will regret now that he didn't take advantage of Chen Yingxiong's presence to take a trip to China and make a lot of money.

Look, at this point, Chen Xing is more aware of Chen Yingxiong's influence in China and the Chinese world than he is. Before the agreement between Liverpool and Naples was finalized, he had already finalized Liverpool's trip to China this summer. Now that there is Chen Yingxiong, I am afraid that this trip to China will make Liverpool a lot of money.

ps. The comments made by CCTV officials about the Premier League are true. I did not make them up for the sake of plot...
