Chapter 485 Journey to Asia
The transfer has not been completely over, and the players have not reported to the club. George has already led Blackburn on his first trip to Asia.

As the champion of the Champions League, Williams has received a very satisfactory appearance fee.

Blackburn's first stop is China's BJ.

Here, Blackburn will play a game against the Chinese national team.

When Blackburn first emerged from the airport, the team received a huge welcome.

At BJ Airport, nearly 3000 fans welcomed Blackburn.

Although for Blackburn, who has won countless championships, not to mention the welcome team of 3000 people, even the welcome scene of 2 or [-] people has been seen.Even after the championship of the league and the Champions League, there were even [-] fans in the celebration ceremony.

But they were surprised to see so many fans at the airport in the unfamiliar China.

Even Williams, who was with the team, was smiling.

Both Paul and Williams were worried about the reaction of Asian fans.Blackburn is an upstart in Europe. Although they have performed well in the past few seasons, Blackburn is not a traditional giant like Real Madrid, Milan, or Bayern after all.

What Paul and Williams don't know is that the promotion time of TV broadcast in Asia is not very long.

In particular, the development of European football in Asia has only taken 20 years.

And the last ten years is the time when the promotion is the fastest.

Although Blackburn is not a traditional giant, it is just in time for the strong promotion of European football in Asia.Especially the timing of the strong promotion of the Premier League.

Therefore, there are quite a lot of Blackburn fans.

Especially in China, because of Sun Jihai, Blackburn's popularity is quite high.

This time the UEFA Champions League final has more than [-] million viewers in China.Of course, this is not an accurate data, but it is also the data calculated by the relevant departments.Even if there are some errors, it will not be too big.

Even if there is a relatively large error, there is no problem with about [-] million.

In fact, Blackburn's games are played in China, and there are definitely not many games with more than [-] million viewers.In the Premier League, Blackburn's game, especially when Sun Jihai plays, the audience is absolutely amazing.

If it was because of Sun Jihai at the beginning, but later found that Blackburn had a good grade, then there were more real Blackburn fans.

Now Blackburn is the champion of the Champions League again, so of course there are many welcome fans.

Among the nearly 3000 fans, female fans accounted for 60.00%.Needless to say, everyone knew who they were coming for.They all held up Kaka's portrait and kept calling Kaka's name.

When they went to Japan to play in the Toyota Cup two years ago, the Blackburn players had already seen Kaka's popularity.

In the past two years, Kaka's popularity has been increasing.

Kaka two years ago was just a new star of Blackburn.But now Kaka has become the best attacking midfielder in Europe.Some media have even started to build momentum, thinking that Kaka should be awarded this year's Footballer of the Year.

After all, this season is full of dark horses.

Kaka's Champions League champion is definitely full of gold.Therefore, whether it is the so-called real fans or those fake fans who chase stars, the number of Kaka fans has surged.

It can be said that the current Blackburn players combined, it is estimated that Kaka is not as popular as others.

When Kaka came out, there were bursts of screams among the fans.It was all the cheers from the female fans.

At this time, Chinese football fans are still very enthusiastic about football.In particular, the Chinese national team has just won the runner-up in the Asian Cup and lost to the handball of the Japanese team in the final.So many fans are aggrieved.

This time, after the national team has just finished the Asian Cup, it has not yet disbanded, and it will play against Blackburn.

As the only Chinese player, Sun Jihai will play for Blackburn in the first half and the national team in the second half.This is also China's request.

George was a Chinese in his previous life.

Therefore, I still have a deep understanding of the thoughts of Chinese fans.Chinese fans are very interesting.

It's like playing against the national team, if you beat him too hard.If there was a score of four to zero, five to zero, or six to zero, it would be a blatant slap in the face.If this is the case, not only will the Football Association lose face, even many fans will feel that Blackburn is going too far.

Chinese people have a good face.

But if you are playing hard, or if you are passive and sabotage, then Chinese fans will immediately criticize you for not paying attention.

They will start to scold you, using so much money to treat you, and you just deal with us like this.

So when you play this kind of commercial competition in China, you can neither make people look bad, nor make people feel that you are dealing with it.

Therefore, if you want to play against the Chinese national team, you must play lively.

What is hilarious?

That is, when attacking, you should do whatever you want.Bring out those performances on the training ground.The purpose is to let the fans enjoy watching, and scoring goals is secondary.

When defending, you must not really pay attention.

The Chinese national team should be given the same opportunity to play.No matter what, let them be able to attack and shoot.Better yet, let them score.

You have to make Chinese fans feel that Blackburn is very hardworking.And the Chinese national team is also very strong.Only in this way can everyone be happy.

For this purpose, George let Blackburn play freely in the attack.Even defenders like Lucio, Sun Jihai, and Riise can participate in the offense.And when it comes to defense, it seems that you are trying your best, just pretend.

These players are very smart.

They have also played many friendly matches in the national team.It is difficult to play the real one, but it is not easy to play the fake one.

So in the Workers' Stadium, the two sides played very lively.You come and go, even the Chinese national team has many opportunities to threaten.What made Chinese fans look ecstatic.

Gongti, the ticket price is indeed not cheap at all.

Of course not as good as Real Madrid, but generally the cheapest fare is 150 yuan.And there are four hundred, eight hundred, one thousand one hundred, and even the highest VIP price is one thousand eight hundred yuan.But even so, there are still countless fans flocking to Gongti.

On the last day, many fans even failed to get tickets, waiting for scalpers to scalp their tickets.

So much so that the pre-match media shouted: Blackburn has the same charm as Real Madrid.Who would have thought that Blackburn would be so popular after he came to China.

In fact, this has a lot to do with the Chinese media.

Because of Sun Jihai, the Chinese media has a lot of praise for Blackburn.It also led to the exponential increase of Blackburn's fans in China.

This lively game finally settled at [-]-[-].

Although the Chinese national team lost the game, the Chinese fans are still very satisfied.The game was exciting, both sides played beautifully.The Chinese national team is not weak, and the Blackburn players are also doing their best in their view.

A lot of wonderful cooperation came out.

So the Chinese fans present are very satisfied.After the game, the major media's evaluation of Blackburn was also relatively positive.They felt that Blackburn did not deal with it because it was a commercial game.

Williams is smiling almost every day in China.

Because it was too surprising.

Although when George introduced Sun Jihai back then, he had already talked to him about the Chinese football market.But after really learning the lesson, Williams really believed it.Not only tens of thousands of Chinese fans are crazy.There are also Chinese businesses that are flocking to Blackburn players.

Especially Kaka.

Kaka is the most popular star.

Merchants in China are also very fond of Kaka.Blackburn only stayed in China for a few days, but Kaka has already received many large advertising contracts from Chinese companies.

…………

After BJ finished the game, Blackburn was not able to rest.

Because of this trip to Asia, the itinerary is full.Within half a month, he will play five games and participate in some business activities.The second game is going to Seoul in South Korea, then Japan, then Hong Kong, and finally Bangkok in Thailand.

Almost three days to fly to a country.

After arriving at a place, you can rest for at most one day before playing a game.On the rest day, you also need to attend some other activities.After playing the game, you will fly to the next country immediately.

By the time we got to Bangkok, all the players were exhausted.George already felt it in the last game, and the players were exhausted.

Especially the players who participated in the European Cup.

Klose, Alonso, and Campbell are already quite tired.George took good care of them in the first few games.In these few games, they were only allowed to play symbolically.Even so, they were already too tired to run.

Even Van der Sar was exhausted as a goalkeeper.

George was quite dissatisfied with this trip to Asia.Coming back to England from Asia, there was no downtime at all.The new season is about to start. With the current state of the team, the results of the new season are really worrying.

After arriving in Bangkok, George no longer cared about Thailand's dissatisfaction.

During the game, most of the substitutes were used.Just at the last moment of the second half, let some main players play.

This made Thailand very dissatisfied.Accused Blackburn of breach of contract.

But George didn't care about that.According to their request, George let the main players show their faces.Do we still have to let them finish the game?
As for the later wrangling, of course Williams has to take care of it.

After half a month, Blackburn finally came back from Asia.

Both Paul and Williams are happy.Because in just half a month, Blackburn has won more than 1000 million in Asia.And in addition to the visible 1000 million, there are many invisible incomes, which are countless.

It can be said that this half-month trip to Asia has basically completed the original goal.

But when George returned to England, he was completely sullen.

The team is too tired.

A trip to Asia completely disrupted Blackburn's summer preparations.Looking at the exhausted players, George could only sigh in his heart.It's not fucking easy to make money.

The physical condition of the players is so poor now, and they don't know how to play in the new season.
