The Italian Super Cup returns to China after ten years, which is undoubtedly something worth celebrating for all Chinese fans!

Perhaps young people love Ronaldo Messi's La Liga, and some people prefer the fierce competition and open-minded Premier League, but for those older fans, Serie A has a deeper meaning.

In the 1990s, the first group of Chinese fans watched Serie A go from the glory of the "Little World Cup" to the trough. Many people fell in love with football because of stars such as Baggio, Batistuta. Now, although Juventus and AC Milan are only one player left, Buffon is familiar to everyone, and other players are all newcomers, this does not prevent China's senior fans from rushing to "Ginkgo City" from all directions with the word "feelings"!

The two clubs also put down their figure and opened a temporary fan supplies store at the "Ginkgo Stadium" to provide genuine fan supplies to Chinese fans!

After all, Italy's economy is not prosperous today, the attendance rate of many stadiums is continuing to decline, and the team's investors are also constantly reducing their investment, and Italian teams are not having a good time.

In recent years, Newcastle United has made a lot of money in the Chinese market because of its rich Chinese elements, and its annual profit will not be less than 100 million pounds, which naturally aroused the envy and jealousy of other European giants.

Driven by Newcastle United, more and more European giants have increased their efforts to develop the Chinese market. Whether it is opening fan supplies stores in first-tier cities, holding commercial competitions, or introducing Chinese players, they are in full swing.

Li Yan and others' outstanding performance in Europe and international arena has even dispelled European clubs' various doubts about the abilities of Chinese players.

This time, in addition to holding the Italian Super Cup at the Ginkgo Stadium, AC Milan and Juventus will also hold a large-scale trial training event at the Ginkgo Base, hoping to recruit Chinese players in China.

In fact, in addition to the Serie A giants who stepped up their actions in China, clubs in other leagues also regard the Chinese market as an important field for development.

The Italian Super Cup in China is not only a festival for fans, but also a feast for the media!

After the two teams arrived in Ginkgo City, hundreds of Chinese media, including CCTV Sports Channel, sent interview teams to Ginkgo City, and many media themselves even sent journalists here.

Citizens of Ginkgo City did not make a fuss about the influx of media reporters because they were already used to it.

Before the game started, CCTV Sports Channel also specially produced a special program, recording the various activities of the two teams in Ginkgo City, including training, fan reception activities, etc. This program allows more Chinese fans to deeply understand the stories behind European giants and make more fans fall in love with football.

On the day of the Italian Super Cup, it happened to be Saturday. Not only did the audience arrive at the stadium in advance, but the audience in front of the TV also sat on the sofa happily waiting for the game to begin!

In the past, unless the top football events in Europe and the international community were held in Asia, other competitions would mostly choose to start at 7:00 pm local time in order to take care of the viewing needs of European and American audiences, which was already early in the morning in China.

Especially the Spanish League One and the Champions League, they have always started at two or three in the morning local time in China, which is undoubtedly an extremely severe test for Chinese fans.

In addition to some hardcore fans who have plenty of time, many heavyweight football matches held in Europe are not events that ordinary Chinese fans can enjoy, which is undoubtedly a pity.

Generally speaking, Chinese fans learn more about European football through post-match news, and the proportion of live broadcasts is quite small.

In recent years, the Premier League has more fans in China. In addition to the Chinese elements of Newcastle United, fierce competition, fast-paced matches and game schedules have made more Chinese fans fall in love with the Premier League.

Generally speaking, Premier League games are held at two or three o'clock in the afternoon local time, which is equivalent to 9:00 pm in Peking time in China. Even if there are a few heavyweight games in the evening, fans can afford it.

In this way, sponsors prefer the broadcast of the Premier League. With sufficient financial support, the broadcasting of the Premier League has gradually surpassed other leagues and became the first league in the eyes of Chinese fans.

No matter what, the Italian Super Cup is held in China, and Chinese fans can sit comfortably on the sofa during the prime time of the weekend, drink small beer, eat snacks, and enjoy the exciting game comfortably, without having to set an alarm clock to get up in the middle of the night, and risk going to work the next day and going to school with dark circles.

The live broadcast signal of CCTV Sports Channel switched over half an hour before the start of the game. At 7:30, the lights of the "Ginkgo City" were on, and under the aerial camera, the whole city was filled with brilliance. It was really unimaginable that this place was just a barren mountain 12 years ago!

People who are familiar with the development trajectory of "Ginkgo City" know that this city was established because of the rise of "Jinghu Group". In just a few years, it has a permanent population of more than one million and has become an international metropolis in northwest Yunnan.

With the in-depth implementation of the "Belt and Road" and the "Border Strategy" of the Chinese Empire, "Ginkgo City" is the core city of the Chinese Empire radiating to the Indochina Peninsula and the Indian Peninsula, which is the core city of the Indian Peninsula, which is radiating more charming brilliance.

Because the economy of "Ginkgo City" is highly developed, the municipal government's fiscal revenue is also the best among all prefecture-level cities in China, so it leads the third-tier cities in China in terms of municipal construction and lighting engineering.

Now, the night view of "Ginkgo City" has even become a factor that many tourists come to see. These dazzling neon lights will not make the city look overshadowed by the arrival of night.

As a landmark building of Ginkgo City, the "Ginkgo Stadium" is located in the central area of ​​Ginkgo City. The adjacent "Ginkgo Plaza" is the best place for all citizens to relax, so the night view at night is also very beautiful.

After the lights of the ‘Ginkgo Stadium’ were all turned on, the cool shape made the audience who saw it for the first time stunned. It was a rich stadium that was not short of money.

The signal switches to the inside of the stadium. The 80,000-person stadium is already full. Juventus fans wearing black and white sword shirts and AC Milan fans wearing red and black sword shirts are clearly separated. The loud singing and the constantly waving flags make people feel like they are coming to San Siro or arena!

Of course, the advanced nature of the "Ginkgo Stadium" is not comparable to the old San Siro and smaller arenas. According to UEFA's evaluation standards, this stadium has reached the five-star standard and can host the finals of the Champions League.

Regarding this, Xiao Feng is in consultation with UEFA and hopes that one day the Champions League final will come to the "Ginkgo Stadium" to provide more support for European football to expand the Chinese market.

Although the Chinese Football League is booming, it is not a simple matter for the Chinese Professional League to fully catch up with the European League. After all, Europe has been professionalized for more than a hundred years and has become an integral part of the European cultural tradition.

If you fall behind, you must admit that openness and learning are important ways to promote the continuous progress of Chinese football. If you work behind closed doors and walk on your own, you will never be able to reach the peak.

‘Going out and bringing in’ is a common practice in various industries since the 40 years of reform and opening up in China. It is through this method that ‘Made in China’ has successfully crushed the whole world and made great contributions to the rise of the Chinese economy.

If Chinese football wants to surpass European football in the future and become the center of world football, this process is also indispensable. The success of Newcastle United and the rise of superstars such as Li Yan have already predicted the correctness of this path.

Next, Chinese football only needs to strictly follow economic laws and football laws to continuously narrow the gap with European football and ultimately achieve its ultimate goal.

In Xiao Feng's plan, 20 years later, China's economy will become the world's number one, and the focus of the whole world will begin to shift to China like in the past few thousand years. By then, China's football league should also be the world's number one, right?

…………

At 8 pm, Beijing time in China, the 2020 Italian Super Cup officially kicked off. This is the opening match of the Italian League's new season. AC Milan, who won the league championship last season, and Juventus, who had the Italian Cup, will fight fiercely to compete for the best team in Serie A!

Once upon a time, the Holy League was the cancer of the Italian league. They almost monopolized all league championships in the 1990s and the first few years of the new century, leaving the five Serie A sisters including Inter Milan, Lazio, and Rome, with no way to go to heaven and no way to the ground!

The "Tel Gate" incident that broke out in 2006 ended with Juventus' relegation and AC Milan's deductions. The image of Serie A was also greatly damaged. In the end, the halo of the "Small World Cup" disappeared without a trace, and Serie A was even replaced by the Bundesliga and became the fourth European league.

As time goes by, it is unlikely that the two teams will maintain close relationships, and it is not even more because the two teams are the most direct competitors in the Serie A league in the past five years. They have created a lot of grudges on the court and are talked about by fans.

Last season, Juventus defeated AC Milan in the semi-finals of the Italian Cup and finally defeated Inter Milan in the final to win the championship; in the league, AC Milan narrowly defeated Juventus 3:2 at home in the penultimate round of the league, and finally won the championship with a one-point advantage. The competition between the two teams has been comprehensive.

The Super Cup is also the beginning of the coaching of the two teams in the new season. No one wants to lose the lead at the beginning of the season and win the Super Cup, which may have more advantages on the psychological level.

With the referee's whistle, the players on both sides were entangled. Both sides knew the truth and did not have much tests. They directly launched a fierce attack on the opponent's penalty area.

In the stands, the shouts of 40,000 fans from both sides were mainly Chinese, which is unique in the history of the Italian Super Cup. The Super Cup in Bird's Nest 10 years ago was not as popular as this game.

The reason is that at that time, the Chinese economy was not as developed as it is now, the football environment was not very good, and the fans' culture on the court had not yet been formed. In a sense, the Chinese fans at that time were still in their early stages.

The warm atmosphere in the stands and the fierce fighting on the court made the audience in front of the TV excited. The competitive level of the top European giants is indeed much higher than that of domestic clubs in China.

In the first half, he used his stable defense to withstand AC Milan's offense, and used a counterattack to break through the opponent's goal. While taking the lead, he also allowed the game to enter the rhythm he controlled.

As we all know, Juventus' tactical style is like its nickname, always calm and overly passionate. It is a team that has obtained the true pass of Italian concrete defense. The entire defense line and goalkeeper are the main players of the Italian team, and the defensive skills can be imagined.

Relying on this defense line, the Italian national team conceded only 4 goals in seven games in the 2018 World Cup, and finally won the Hercules Cup and achieved a five-star Italy!

The backward AC Milan launched a more fierce counterattack against the opponent, but Juventus' defense is indeed superior, and he can still protect the city gate even in the storm. Among them, the veteran Buffon, who is over 40, has made great contributions!

As the game continued, the whole AC Milan team became more impatient. Many players even forced long shots at the front of the penalty area when they had bad choices. The offensive seemed to be more fierce, but in fact, the threat to Juventus' goal became less and less.

After the 65th minute of the game, Juventus' counterattack worked again, Dybala successfully counterattacked the opponent's goalkeeper and finally scored the ball into the net, and the score became 2:0!

In this world, almost no team can reverse Juventus when falling behind 0:2. At this time, its defensive counterattack will be fully implemented!

In the end, time disappeared little by little during the offensive and defensive drills between the two sides. With the final whistle of the referee, Juventus defeated AC Milan and won the 2020 Italian Super Cup!

The Juventus fans in front of the TV cheered and the AC Milan fans were also a little sad. After all, the team lost their first championship before the start of the season.

From this game, we can see that Juventus is still the best team in Serie A. This season, whether in Serie A or in the Champions League, its competitiveness will not be much weaker than any team.

For Chinese fans, being able to watch such a football feast at their doorstep is something worth celebrating. Fans naturally hope that more and more such games can satisfy their feelings of happiness.
