Godfather of national football

Chapter 386 We Need Tickets

When Lao Zheng returned to the slum hotel, he threw his bag on the bed, and the Chinese compatriots who were traveling with him knew that there was nothing to do.

The Chinese fan group stayed in Brazil to watch the quarter-finals, but what they never expected was that they could not buy tickets.

Not everyone is like this, only about 500 people have no tickets. In the past, when watching the top 10 games in China, they bought scalper tickets if it really didn’t work.

But the Chinese fans also heard that the reason why there is no ticket is because the Brazilian organizing committee does not sell it to the Chinese. Of course, the reason is very simple. The Chinese team is the next opponent of the Brazilian team. As the host, I want to blackmail you. What can you do to me?
A tall man from Northeast China in the fan club stood up and shouted: "MD, I'll go find him. The game is almost here. If I'm blocked outside the court now, I will suffocate to death."

"But people say there is really no way." Lao Zheng persuaded.

"It doesn't matter, I'll go and have a look, let's go."

*****
The lady at the ticket center is very pretty and speaks good English, she kept shaking her head, "I'm sorry, there's really no way."

"Are you deliberately not selling to us because we are Chinese?"

"It's impossible, there are really no tickets."

The Northeast man saw the woman operating the computer in front of him, he pointed and said, "Can I have a look at the monitor?"

Because he often watches football in China, he knows that the ticket selling system is similar to that of a movie theater. If it is sold out, he cannot choose it. In this way, he will know how many tickets are left, and that is just a matter of looking.

But the other party still shook his head, "Sorry, this can't be done."

"There is a ghost in my heart."

The Northeast Dahan did not give up, "If it is not convenient for you to turn the monitor around, then I can go in."

After finishing speaking, the big man from the Northeast was about to go in. The Brazilian lady immediately changed her expression and took out the walkie-talkie.

Soon came two black burly men to block the Northeast man, Northeast people are straightforward, the more you are like this, the more tricky you feel.

The Northeast man shouted: "Why don't you sell tickets to us Chinese, why don't you sell tickets? This is discrimination."

Old Zheng coughed, "Stop shouting, they don't understand Chinese."

"Oh, why don't you sell the tickets to the Chinese? How do you say that in English?"

"Talk about your size, stop making trouble," Lao Zheng immediately apologized, and then left with his companions.

But this incident was reported by the pervasive Brazilian media-"Chinese fans are making trouble at the ticketing center."

Li Guo got angry when he saw the demonizing remarks of Chinese fans in the media, probably because he couldn’t buy tickets. Compared with the rioting Chilean fans, he was still far behind. The Brazilian media is really not objective.

Li Guo knew that Chen An was in contact with the head of the fan club, so he called Chen An over, "Did they buy tickets after all?"

Chen An shook his head, "No."

"What should I do?"

"I can only go home."

Li Guo was silent for a while, "Actually, you can go to the fan square to watch the game, there is a big screen."

"Old Zheng said that there are many Brazilians over there, and conflicts are inevitable. He must ensure the safety of his fellow fans."

"That's right. Compared with safety, watching football is really nothing."

After Chen An left, Li Guo was always in a bad mood. It was not easy for these fans. He also gave such great support to the national football team in the last game. He really wanted to help them, but Li Guo is not Monkey King, so it is impossible to get so many votes.

In his previous life, Li Guo was a Bayern fan. The Bayern club had a very good policy, which was to open the Allianz Arena for free when the team played away games in the Champions League, allowing fans to watch the football together on the big screen.

Thinking of this, Li Guo suddenly became excited. By the way, there must be an idle football field in Belo Horizonte. Wouldn’t it be fine to rent it out for the hundreds of Chinese fans to watch?
Li Guo immediately called Chen An back and told Chen An his thoughts. When the latter heard this, he had to admire Li Guo for being so open-minded that he could come up with such a solution.

"Go and get in touch to see if there is a suitable stadium."

Chen An nodded and went to look for it right away, but it was actually not easy to find. Although there were many stadiums in Brazil, they were all dilapidated.

However, Chen An's ability to handle affairs is still strong, and finally found a suitable stadium. The next step is to contact Lao Zheng. After hearing this, Lao Zheng is also very excited. What makes Lao Zheng even more grateful is that the money for renting the stadium was paid by Li Guo.

But what I didn't expect was that many people in the fan club didn't appreciate it. They thought it was a very silly thing to cheer in an empty stadium. Thinking about it, it actually made sense. Cheering in the World Cup stadium will be broadcast live all over the world, and the blood is boiling, but in an empty stadium?Cheer for who?

It was the upright Northeast guy who said: "Then I might as well just watch it in the hotel, at least I'm not stupid."

For a while, Lao Zheng was like a sandwich biscuit, he was not a human being inside and out, and he didn't dare to tell Li Guo, he could only speak hesitantly, and finally Li Guo heard Lao Zheng's voice-over.

"Then do you think it's okay? The fans just want to show off. Then I know that Penguin.com's World Cup reporting team is also in Belo Horizonte. I contact them and ask them to send reporters to your place to shoot, and then interact with netizens on Weibo in real time. What do you think?"

Lao Zheng went back and said that everyone changed their minds. In this way, at least hundreds of millions of people saw it, and they always felt like watching the game live, so everyone agreed.

Through Li Guo's understanding, for this game, Brazil has indeed reduced the votes of Chinese fans. At that time, more than 95% of the audience will be Brazilian fans.

When I watched the World Cup in Brazil in my previous life, as long as it was a match of the Brazilian team, there were basically no fans of the away team. The yellow color of the Brazilians would cover the entire stadium.

In order to simulate the hellish stadium atmosphere at that time, Li Guo used a loudspeaker to play the cheers of the Brazilians during training, and then said to the players: "Imagine, when the boos and shouts will be 10 times higher than now, can you still concentrate?"

We all know that in a noisy environment, it is easy for people to lose their minds, but in a fierce football field, the consequences of mind-wandering may be disastrous. For example, if the opponent comes flying shoveling, if you lose your mind and fail to jump up in time, then you will be over.

Fortunately, these are experienced players, they know how to control their bodies, Li Guo just needs to quietly watch their training.
