Chapter 342 Attendance and Qi Zu
When it comes to Turin's away match against AEK in Athens in this Europa League Group D matchup, there is another very interesting topic, that is, the number of spectators who entered the stadium that day broke the digital record for the largest number of spectators for the home team this season.This is not to say how popular the Red Bulls are in the local area, but that fans have been fined and banned from entering the stadium for many games before, so that the home team can only play in a state of zero spectators for many consecutive games, which is so pitiful!
In last season's Greek Cup final held in May this year, AEK Athens lost 1-2 to Thessaloniki, which has been in the top three in the league since 2011, and lost the only possible championship matchup.During the game, fans from both sides clashed on a large scale. In the stands on the top floor of the stadium, two groups of fans from both sides rushed towards the opposing fans to fight together.Some people wore hats and helmets, and some fans held weapons (golf clubs, flagpoles, and baseball bats. It can only be said that Greek fans are also very tough) and beat each other until the police came to control the situation. , the conflict was quelled, but the game was interrupted for 10 minutes before being resumed.

After the game, the Disciplinary Committee of the Greek Football Association announced that, as the first provocative side of the fans, Thessaloniki will be deducted 6 points in the league in the new season (it was canceled after an appeal), and seven home games are not allowed. Fans entered the stadium and were fined 28.25 euros.AEK Athens is also hard to escape heavy fines, was fined 17 euros, and fans are not allowed to enter the three home league games in the new season.

So it was not until the eighth round of the league, when they lost to Atromitos, that they had ticket revenue for the first time. However, due to the current economic crisis in their country, before the match against Turin, the most The Athena-Spiros-Louis-Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate 68079 people, has an average of less than 7000 spectators.Even for the UEFA Europa League match in Vienna, Austria, only 42500 people bought tickets to enter the venue, which is really bleak.Fortunately, the Red Bulls are also a Serie A team after all, and they still have some appeal. With 200 fans of the home team and less than [-] fans of the visiting team, this five-star stadium finally looks a little popular.

Speaking of attendance, after the eleven rounds of the league, "News" published a report on the attendance of Serie A teams in the new season based on the data provided by the Italian Football Observation Network.The article pointed out that although the ratings of the live broadcast of the league are still not optimistic, the number of viewers going to various stadiums shows a trend of increasing year by year.This season, the attendance in Serie A has reached its peak in the past five years. After the eleventh round, the average number of seats per game has reached 24445, an increase of 22217% compared to 10 in the previous season, and the growth rate is also the highest in the past five years. .

Specific to the team, Inter Milan, relying on Spalletti's strong performance after taking over, has won the strong support of many fans, and the number of fans who went to watch the game has also increased rapidly. Fans surged to 46620 fans this season, a number that undoubtedly ranks first in the league.However, since the Meazza stadium is full of 59635 people, the attendance rate cannot be regarded as the most ideal situation, but 80018% can also rank fifth among the 75.78 teams in Serie A.

Closely behind the Nerazzurri was their city rival AC Milan. Although the current results were mediocre, "Brother Li" spent more than 43236 million yuan in the summer, which still stimulated the nerves of the fans.Their average attendance per game at home has risen from 55264 last season to 70.55, ranking second in the league. The increase is not small, and the average attendance rate of 44497% can also be ranked seventh in Serie A.Ranked third is Naples, with an average attendance of 73.86 and an attendance rate of [-]%, ranking fifth.

Juventus, the winner of the six consecutive championships, is limited by the capacity of the Allianz Stadium in the early 39350s, and only has an average number of spectators of 4, ranking No.94.9.But their attendance rate is the highest in the entire Apennine Peninsula, [-]% is the only Italian team that can exceed [-]% (here refers to professional and semi-professional teams at all levels).

As for the Turin team, the current number of seats at the Olympic Stadium is 27994, and the average number of home visitors is 24010, ranking seventh in Serie A, with a small increase.However, the attendance rate is not low, 85.8% is second only to the city rivals, the newly promoted Spar (88.02%) and Cagliari (86.10%). If the situation is reached, the club's top executives have a reason to open a bottle of champagne for a small celebration.

Among the strong teams, Lazio's home atmosphere is the worst. Although the average figure of more than 73261 per game can still be ranked sixth, but considering the capacity of Rome's Olympic Stadium as high as 37.64, [-]% of the seats The rate is the worst in the entire Serie A. Although Miha has led the team in the past two years, it is not bad, but it obviously failed to attract more fans to watch the game, which also greatly affected the club's income.

Overall, the average attendance at home for Serie A teams is 24051, an increase of just over 8% from last season.The average attendance rate is 64.53%. Although it is still at the bottom of the five major leagues, there are obvious signs of recovery, and the impact on the entire country and region is very positive.

Looking at the whole of Europe, there are five teams with an average attendance of more than 7 people, followed by Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.However, compared to the high attendance rates of Bundesliga and Premier League teams, the situation of La Liga teams is not very optimistic. Their ability to make the list depends on the large enough capacity of the stadium.Barcelona, ​​which has experienced "regional independent farce", has also been greatly affected. Although it can still gain more than 78000 live audiences, the proportion of less than 20% has become a new low in the past 83.5 years.Fortunately, their number one mortal enemy was not much better. Just over [-] people and [-]% of the attendance rate was also the bottom of the top giants.

For a long time, the Bernabéu has always been a super stadium with the highest attendance rate. The performance in the previous two seasons was so good that it attracted fans from all over the world to come to pilgrimage every day, so it stands to reason that the number of spectators should be at the full level. Reasonable.However, Real Madrid, who played in the new season as the defending champion of the league and two consecutive Champions League champions, ushered in a lot of vacant seats, which attracted heated discussions from the outside world, and the primary reason they analyzed was the team's performance. fell sharply.

Before the first weekend of November, Zizou led the team to complete ten league rounds, but it has exceeded everyone's expectations by nine points behind the leader Barcelona.You must know that after Neymar was poached by Paris and the introduced replacement Dembele was seriously injured and absent, the outside world agreed that the hope of the Galacticos defending the league was very high, but this reality hit everyone hard. human face.

Even without mentioning Barcelona, ​​which is catching up to Dream 6 in terms of performance, Real Madrid is currently only beating Villarreal with a goal difference advantage, ranking fourth in the standings, lagging behind the re-emerging team. Valencia and city rivals Atletico Madrid scored quite a few points.After ten games, the team has 2 wins, 2 draws and 20 losses with a total of 0 points. It doesn’t look too bad, but their schedule is also loose and tight. The only opponent they encountered before was Valencia. , Real Madrid still played at home, and the result was barely a point.In the third round, they were tied by the bottom-ranked Levante at home, and in the fifth round, they were humiliated by Betis 1-87 at the Bernabeu. Girona, who made it to La Liga for the first time in [-] years, gave the opposing team the most glorious moment in history.

It was after the first confrontation between the two sides in history that rumors began to circulate in Spain about Zidane's possible dismissal.In the previous two seasons, he had transformed from a rookie who only coached the reserve team for one year to the best coach in the world. The coach of Real Madrid was pulled down from the altar at the same unimaginable speed. The cruelty outside the green field The sex ratio is not too much to show off in the arena!

In the UEFA Champions League, where Qi Zu was able to "confess the gods", although it was considered to be sent to a death group after the group draw, it was rare for Real Madrid to face Dortmund, one of the previous sufferers. The strength of the team has won a long-lost victory in Germany.But no one expected that the defending champion would fall into a completely passive situation when facing Tottenham Hotspur, who is not experienced in European wars and has not performed stably in the Premier League this season.The Galaxy Battleship was first tied 1-1 at home by the opponent, and then lost 1-3 at Wembley in the middle of this week. It is almost certain to miss the top spot in the group, which also brings huge hidden dangers to the subsequent knockout rounds.

Specific to the game, although all the main players of last season were there, the state of most people has declined sharply. The five cores of Ronaldo, Magic Flute, Kroos, Ramos and Marcelo seem to be Because of age, the regression is very obvious; and Benzema, who was originally thought to be the worst, has once again refreshed the bottom line of people's understanding of it, almost in a downturn every game; Navas is the goalkeeper. Suffering from continuous injuries, Casilla, who is considered one of the double insurances, has not been able to seize the opportunity to prove himself, making a lot of mistakes; laughing stock.

Asensio, who ushered in a big explosion last season and won another reputation as "C Ronaldo's successor", seemed to be cursed this fall. Together with Isco, he became a cancer-like existence in the team. The two of them There are too many individuals fighting alone, and it is difficult to form cooperation with other teammates, which greatly weakens the team's offensive power.Shortly after Jesse returned to Valdebebas, he picked up the "injury skills package" he had lost. After the fifth round of the league, he had a truce due to a leg muscle problem, and he has not been able to come back until now.Vallejo, the young central defender who was also loaned to the Turin team last season, has suffered from the same illness as the King of Heqiu. Due to various injuries, he has been injured for more than a quarter of the season. Sixty percent of the games seem to be the second glass man after Varane.

Special Olympics and Ceballos, who were dug out at a high price in the summer, can only play in the Copa del Rey, which is not valued. Few have the opportunity to show their potential.

As for Mbappe, who has been given high hopes, although his performance on the court is still very impressive, due to the poor relationship with the big players in the frontcourt, coupled with the rotation of the head coach and Bell's continuous injury and comeback Repeated interference made it difficult for him to get continuous playing time and exert [-]% power.There are rumors that his agent has begun to feel dissatisfied with the current situation. Just in the past few days, the French media have revealed that Paris intends to use a contract of more than [-] million yuan to win the French star of hope , For a while, the Real Madrid executives and the head coach were surrounded by transfer messages, which simply added fuel to the fire.

As soon as he heard the rumor, Li Mudi wanted to get in touch with his friend, hoping to discuss with him about the arrangement of the team lineup. That is, it is negative, so it has been put on hold for the time being.It wasn't until the early morning of November 11, when the Turin team flew back to Italy from Greece, that he took the time to chat with the Real Madrid coach on the phone.Judging from the sound, the opponent's life is indeed a bit difficult now. Facing the huge pressure of poor performance, the club has already had unsatisfactory voices.Although it is not enough to let him dismiss from get out of class, Qi Zu's locker room management ability, which has always been good at, is still being questioned.

Real Madrid already has a historical tradition of forming gangs. The "big gang" headed by Ronaldo has a great voice in the team. Even if Zidane intends to reuse young people in some less critical games, this decision is very difficult. Obviously, there were still some obstacles, and these boys also failed to make good use of the opportunity to perform, which made the atmosphere in the locker room extremely delicate.

Two days ago, "Marca" conducted a survey. As a result, 73% of the fans believed that Ronaldo should be used as the center forward, Mbappe as the left winger, and Benzema should be abandoned.The latter's scoring rate this season is really terrible. In all eleven games in all competitions, he only scored 2 goals and 1 assist. This efficiency is worse than that of the second- and third-rate centers in Europe. Quite a lot.However, the Frenchman has the support of the number one star in the team, firmly occupying the position of the main striker, and pressing Mayoral to the bench, which also makes Mbappe and Jesse before he was injured a lot. time.

Although the Turin coach didn't want to offend his friend verbally, he still took the liberty to persuade the latter to make up his mind to make changes, abolish the privileges of some players in the team, and completely control the team in his own hands.But Qi Zu still looked indecisive, it seemed that he would continue to compromise for a while, Li Mudi just hoped that it would not be too late when he made a decision.
