Football giants

Chapter 450 Breaking the Record

Stephen Rose sat in the grandstand of the Red Bull Stadium in New York depressed, looking down at the stadium.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, he vaguely heard the boos of dissatisfied fans from the sparse stands.

Even before the game was over, he kept seeing disappointed fans leave the stadium early.

So depressing, isn't it?
Even as the organizer of the event, he was very depressed about the game.

Zero to zero, damn it, at least score a goal!

Then turn your head and look at Abramovich and Galliani. During the halftime break, the two had a quarrel just now in order to protect their team, and they are still sulking now.

They both felt that the other party was too conservative!

Chelsea is not a team that is good at offense, at best, the offense was smoother during the Ancelotti period.

This summer, the new head coach Benitez joined. The Spanish fat man is famous for his emphasis on offensive and defensive balance. Coupled with the disadvantages of Chelsea's summer transfer, he has stumbled on Modric, Stroman, Hazard and Azpilicueta. Chelsea is still in adjustment and turmoil.

As for AC Milan, the Serie A teams have always respected defense. After AC Milan let go of Pirlo last summer, the midfield organization ability declined sharply.

Although there are famous stars such as Pacini and Robinho in the frontcourt, as well as the Italian teenager Shalawi who rose last season, forming an offensive combination in the frontcourt, but without the support of the midfield, the frontcourt cannot fly.

In this case, the game between the two teams at the Red Bull Arena in New York seemed not to be an offensive feast for fans' entertainment at all, but a dreary battle to see who made fewer mistakes.

Both sides committed a ton of turnovers in the game, offensive turnovers, defensive turnovers, midfield pass turnovers.

It makes the whole game look indescribably depressed!
In the end, the score of zero to zero reflected the process of the game well.

Fan boo, Stephen Rose is not surprised at all.

Fans all over the world are the same, they all want to see the offensive like a wave, you come and go against each other.

Instead of what happened just now, you are strong and clear the field, I am clearing the wild and strong wall, let's see who can defend whom!

Isn't this playing with people?
Oh, I spent four hundred dollars, and I even drove here just to see your tacit defense?
Am I not making things difficult for myself?

So, don't blame the fans for booing!

Stephen Ross himself knew this clearly, so he was depressed!
"Is the game over there?"

The voice of the American real estate tycoon at this time was very low, indescribably old.

Even the originally beaming expression now looks full of tiredness, and the whole person seems to be much older.

Matt Higgins came up and nodded, "It's over."

"How?" Stephen Ross asked quickly.

What he was most eager to hear was that the situation over there was also quite bad.

This person, when he is lucky, always hopes that he can enjoy it alone, but when he is unlucky, he wishes to have brothers and sisters who are in need to bear it together.

But obviously, the intelligence that Matt Higgins got was not as he wished.

Therefore, the young American hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Stephen Rose sighed, "It's okay, I'm mentally prepared, just tell me!"

This time even Abramovich and Galliani came together.

Matt Higgins nodded and hummed, "According to the information, a total of 8 fans were attracted there. The final result of the game was 350-[-]. Manchester United and Southampton drew."

This time Abramovich and Galliani's faces became ugly.

It's all a draw, why can they score [-] to [-], but we can only score [-] to [-]?
Galliani glanced at the Russians, isn't it you?
Oh, look at the midfield that Benitez put out, the most creative Adam? Why didn't Lallana play?
You made it clear that you don't plan to attack, you just want to defend!

Abramovich didn't do it either, we blame us for everything?
Oh, you all retreated to the front of your own big penalty area, just waiting for us to press up and attack?

Do you think I'm a fool?

Our own offense is pretty problematic right now, okay?

If we attack now, you will get cheap and fight back. When we lose the game, you will lose the game. Is there such a cheap thing?

Stephen Rose looked at these two people. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were filled with the smell of gunpowder coming and going, and he sighed again in his heart. Who are these people?
Look how well organized they are.

There are more than 8 fans, based on the average ticket price of 500 US dollars, that is more than [-] million US dollars.

In addition, I heard that Southampton has attracted nearly 500 fans to watch their training since the start of the training camp organized on the east coast of the United States. The training ticket for a fan is [-] US dollars, and this income alone has received [-] million US dollars.

In addition, there are Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and other teams?

For Yayagope, if you include sponsors such as Adidas and Coca-Cola, and the rebroadcast fees that are small but add up to a considerable amount, Miracle Media will not be able to lose money in this event!
At least there is no problem getting back the money!
Maybe they still plan to make money!
And the game was wonderful, with six goals, on average, one goal was scored in 15 minutes, so enjoyable!

This time, they will definitely win word of mouth and the market!
And on my side, lose-lose!

Matt Higgins sat aside, feeling the depression in Stephen Rose's heart.

But he also knew very well that Stephen Ross must not be discouraged, otherwise, how would he continue with his gold-collar job?Wouldn't he be beaten back to his original shape overnight?

"Boss, the main problem is not the team, but the rules."

"rule?"

"Yes, when they designed the rules of the International Champions Cup group stage, they obviously encouraged scoring, not only because there is a bonus for scoring, but also because once they have two teams scoring the same score, the number of goals is the top priority."

What Matt Higgins said made Stephen Ross speechless.

My side is fighting in a hurry, and the competition system itself is not considered comprehensive enough.

Also, I spent a lot of money to invite the team before, which resulted in saving as much as I could in terms of bonuses. As a result, the problem was exposed.

Stephen? Ross is too depressed, how could things become like this?

"It's okay, boss, we still have an evening game. The Los Angeles Galaxy will play against Everton in the Premier League, which is also very interesting!"

Stephen Ross almost snarled when he heard that.

Interesting?There is a fart to watch!

The matchup in the evening is Bayern Munich playing Real Madrid, and the venue is Washington FedEx Stadium with more than 8 people.

You use the Los Angeles Galaxy and Everton to fight against other star-studded giants?

Isn't that looking for death?

Thinking of this, Stephen Ross felt disheartened for a while.

lost!Completely lost!

At least for this year's event, not only will he lose to his competitors, but he will also lose a lot of money!

At the very least, he still hasn't figured out how to fill up the money lost in the competition!

Facts have proved that duels in football are often not determined by the players on the field.

The results of many games are already doomed the moment the two sides walk into the court.

The International Champions Cup played against the North American Invitational Tournament. In the first round, the International Champions Cup had an attendance rate of more than 8 fans, completely killing the attendance rate of more than 8000 fans in the North American Invitational Tournament. It was a complete victory.

This is not surprising, because the Red Bull Stadium is only full of more than 2 people.

In the evening, in the second game, the International Champions Cup launched Bayern Munich against Real Madrid, which once again ignited the enthusiasm of fans all over the world, especially Uncle Psy himself brought a star lineup to Washington to help out.

When the coquettish song "Blurred Lines" sounded at FedEx Stadium in Washington, the more than 8 fans in the audience were almost soft on it. It's too coquettish, is it right?
Especially with Uncle Bird's chubby figure, but coquettish dance, I feel very happy.

And back to football itself, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich themselves are also holding high against each other. Through this kind of unreserved offensive football, they use their opponents to test their teams.

The two sides played a high score of [-] to [-], and in the end Real Madrid was slightly better.

This also made fans all over the world hooked!
In contrast to another game held in Washington, Los Angeles Galaxy and Everton ended up with the latter [-]-[-].

But this game only attracted more than 3000 fans to the scene.

For no other reason, fans in the entire area around Washington went to watch Bayern Munich play Real Madrid.

According to the New York Times, the International Champions Cup is like a fashionable beauty covered in jewels, while the North American Invitational is a yellow-faced lady covered in oily smoke.

As the most popular football game for young people, it is self-evident who is more likable!
In fact, with the International Champions Cup taking off in New York and Washington, games on the West Coast are also packed.

Even when the second round of the group stage was re-ignited, the attendance rate of the International Champions Cup remained high, and countless fans complained that tickets were hard to come by.

Especially in the third round, it was related to the battle for the right to qualify for the group. In order to ensure the right to qualify for the group, Southampton, with one win and one draw, fought against Real Madrid in Ann Arbor.

And this game also attracted 11 fans to watch the game, not only the football game with the largest audience in American history, but also surpassed the attendance record of the Super Bowl, which Americans are most proud of.

It was this battle that shocked almost the entire United States, and even the whole world!

11 million people!
11 people came to the scene to watch the focus match between Southampton and Real Madrid. What a spectacular scene it was!

And you have to know that it's not just a lot of people, but a big momentum.

That represents money, endless money!
Not only on the east coast, but also on the west coast, the last group match between Barcelona and Arsenal also attracted more than 5000 fans to watch the match. In the end, Barcelona defeated Arsenal [-]-[-].

Looking at the entire group stage of the International Champions Cup, everyone was surprised to find that the lowest attendance rate was more than 7.

This can't help but even the domestic media in the United States are amazed and shocked.

It even sent out the feeling that whoever dares to say that the United States is a football desert in the future will use this data to slap his face!
Klinsmann, head coach of the U.S. national team, even made a high-profile statement that governments around the U.S. should vigorously support such events, activate the football enthusiasm of American fans, and drive the development of the U.S. football industry.

In fact, the International Champions Cup is on fire, and what you gain is not only fame, but also money.

Harvest, and a brighter future!
