Chapter 311: The top players in football actually did these things?
No one expected that with the European Cup in France in full swing, the Village Super League, which should not have received huge attention until 2023, would receive the attention of the entire Dragon Kingdom seven years in advance under the instigation of the wings of Little Butterfly Martin.
Not long after Martin took photos and signed autographs with the college student named Liang Jin, several young people watching the game recognized the No. 5 of the Heping Village team who performed well in the first half as the world-famous Martin.
So, when the audience watching the game in the auditorium heard that a big star was present, they immediately went crazy.
Several players who were still playing in the game vaguely heard words like [Martin] and [Big Star] taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity and stopped kicking the ball, so they all came over to join in the fun.
Within a few seconds, everyone became excited.
[Hang Cao, the guy who played football with me just now was actually Martin! 】
[I thought they looked alike, but I didn’t expect it was me! 】
【No way?Really Martin? 】
【grass!It really is! 】
……
The part-time referee team also got the general idea, and their eyes lit up.
What kind of competition is there?
Chasing stars is more important!
Martin didn't expect that a fried fish would cause such a big sensation.
So, he, who had always loved his fans, was exhausted.
That night, several headline makers rushed to the hot search for scarves.
"The top football star actually did such a thing?" 》
"Shock!Martin did this behind our backs! 》
"A secret worth collecting for a lifetime!" 》
"Stupid scene, a film that is not allowed to be missed"
……
Martin felt the pain and joy of the Dragon Country fans. Anyway, when he returned to Heping Village, he felt that he had lost consciousness in his right hand for signing and the facial muscles that kept him smiling...
Thinking of the risks that the fans' enthusiasm and huge personal influence might bring, he thought carefully and handed over the matter to his assistant Li Zhuo, and drove his car to 'run away' overnight.
When I say it's a 'run away', I actually want to cool down the surging hot topics by temporarily leaving.
As a public figure, we must minimize the risks to local security.
So Martin's next plan is to drive Li Zhuo's car around Qianzhou to see where he needs help and record it. He will not go to help until Li Zhuo has completely completed the Heping Village Primary School.
※※※※※
"Chengcheng, what's so exciting?"
Tan Xi, who returned home exhausted, saw her son shouting and looking excited.
"Dad, let me tell you, my idol Martin has come to Rongjiang. I have to try my luck."
Tan Cheng said excitedly.
"What Martin?"
Tan Xi, who was lying on the sofa, said subconsciously.
"Dad, are you confused? It's Martin who led Arsenal to win four crowns!" Tan Cheng, who was quite excited, said angrily: "I usually say that you, as a scout, should always watch games. There’s no use running around.”
"Bunny, why are you talking to dad? Besides...you've raised me until you're about to graduate from college, right?"
"Hehe~"
"What is he doing in Rongjiang?"
"I don't know why I'm here. A knowledgeable friend said I was invited by the village organization director of Heping Village." Tan Cheng was just about to hand the phone to his dad when he saw an interesting title.
[Qianzhou Hengfeng Zhicheng scout invited Martin for a trial training but was rejected, but he actually said harsh words?There should be laughter here. 】
He suddenly became interested, thinking, isn't his father a scout from Hengfeng Zhicheng?
I subconsciously clicked on it, looked at the loaded pictures, and then looked at my father with playful eyes.
"You bastard, why are you looking at your father like this?"
"Dad, you are so funny~haha~"
Tan Cheng glanced at the report, then looked at his father, and handed over the phone with a smile: "You'd better read it yourself, I was laughing so hard."
"Is it that funny?"
Tan Xi took the cell phone handed over by her son suspiciously and put on the glasses hanging in the breast pocket of Cun Shirt.
Ten seconds later, my whole feeling suddenly became worse.
He slapped his forehead sharply.
What the hell, you actually invited a world-class star to Hengfeng Smart City for a trial training?
No wonder he played so well, he was simply not on the same level.
He sighed.
What a shame.
At this moment, he is very regretful.
I wish I had spent less time drinking with people in the industry these days and more watching games.
But thinking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
If you don't drink a lot with the people in your circle, why would they care about you if they do something good?
Besides, how many people in the circle are watching and understanding football?
……
Martin traveled around Qianzhou, and a large number of Martin fans came to Rongjiang one after another. Food, housing and transportation directly brought very large economic benefits to the local area, and the GDP increased significantly.
Groups of Martin fans and media reporters came to Heping Village, which surprised the local people.
But soon, they became happy again.
Food, housing and transportation are all income.
The hospitable local people also made a lot of money while entertaining.
Within two days, the media made a high-profile claim about the so-called "exclusive revelation".
Why did Martin represent Heping Village in the Village Super League?
The reasons were very admirable and even moved the whole country over time.
At that time, when Martin sent his assistant to build a new teaching building, sports facilities, and elderly activity center in Heping Village in his own name, he happened to be playing ball with the primary school students when he was spotted by a member of the village team, so he invited him to join in. , only then did the next max-level boss fry fish in Novice Village.
Martin, who has been paying attention to the popularity of scarves from time to time, couldn't help but smile when he saw that his appearance caused such a sensation and generated a lot of revenue for the local area.
"Fortunately it's not 2023 yet..."
Martin's eyes lit up when he thought of this: "Douyin shouldn't be online at this time, right?"
Immediately, he changed his mind a thousand times.
The current products of Alphabet Running Company are only headlines.
The future maximum market value of this product will be as high as trillions!
If you can accept investment...
Even 1% of the shares are worth tens of billions when the market value is trillions!
Even if you can't buy shares, you should seize this wave of opportunities and set up a guild or something.
Those popular anchors in later generations still have some small impressions.
Therefore, Martin had a plan in mind to open an investment company.
The money in his bank card is equivalent to hundreds of millions of dragon coins, and he can use more than half of it to invest in start-ups with more room for development in the future and some movies with high returns.
For example: Pinyidao, which was launched last year, Zhihu, Big Red Book, which still needs to continue financing, and movies such as Wolf Warrior 2, Operation Red Sea, The Wandering Earth, Chinatown Detective Series, Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World and other refined domestic animations.
So, he called Li Zhuo, who graduated with a double first-class finance major.
After several hours of talking, Martin's previous idea took full direction.
The first step is to determine which city will be the location to register the investment company, and then recruit talents.
In terms of choice, Martin chose Pengcheng.
It's not for any other reason. Most of his domestic corporate sponsors are in Pengcheng, so... he has certain connections.
Also, how did you say that sentence?
When you come to Pengcheng, you are a Pengcheng person.
In addition, it is easier to recruit people in big cities.
It just pays more.
But as someone who has experienced it, I know which investments are guaranteed to make money without losing money. Compared with high returns, what is a little investment?
As the boss behind the scenes, what Martin needs to do is very simple, just provide investment projects, and leave everything else to professional managers.
It is worth mentioning that although Li Zhuo has a good understanding of the market, he has been away for too long and his professional acumen has declined. Therefore, in Martin's mind, he can only serve as his student assistant in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.
The European Cup in France is in full swing, and the Centenary Mizhou Cup has also entered its final stage.
Rongjiang Village Super League, which was previously popular because of Martin, has continued to decline as time goes by.
However, his philanthropic deeds were recognized by people across the country and even appeared on the prime news time of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Time flies and the end of June comes soon.
Messi, who led his team to the final, once again lost to the Chilean team led by Sanchez in a penalty shootout and missed the first adult national team continental championship in his career.The European Cup in France ends all 1/8 finals.
The biggest upset was undoubtedly the 1:2 upset defeat by England, the favorite to win the championship, to Iceland, followed by Italy's 2:0 victory over defending champion Spain.
The transfer departments of the major European teams are still waiting and watching, and are not in a hurry to make a move.
Those small clubs with limited budgets are not so particular. They just buy the ones that suit them and see if they can get two lottery tickets.
While Martin is busy, he is also paying attention to news related to the European transfer window.
Arsenal, where he plays, has had players coming and going.
First, Arteta, Rosicky and Flamini, whose contracts have expired, left the team. Costa Rican forward Campbell joined Sporting CP on loan, and Chambers, who had few opportunities, joined Middlesbrough on loan.
In terms of introduction, currently only Wolfsburg midfielder Xhaka (the protagonist moved to Arsenal, Wolfsburg introduced from Borussia Monchengladbach) has joined for 4500 million euros.
In addition, there are also some targets of transfer rumors.
For example, Fox City's Vardy and Kante, Schalke 04's Sane, Paris Saint-Germain forward Cavani, Dortmund forward Aubameyang, Lyon forward Lacazette...
After the end of the 2015-2016 season, head coach Arsene Wenger would chat with Martin on WhatsApp from time to time, fully stating that the new season would premise his position, and the general idea was to be a free agent in the frontcourt.
The team was privatized by Kroenke, which provided a large amount of funds needed to upgrade the lineup. During casual chat, I asked him which players he admired more.
The meaning is very obvious.
Martin couldn't resist the kindness and provided three names.
Van Dijk, Kante and Cavani.
Originally, Martin wanted to cooperate with Vardy and had actively invited him, but this guy was very stubborn and insisted on repaying Leicester City's cultivation.
As for Lacazette and Aubameyang, who later served as Arsenal captains, they did not conform to Martin's post-position tactics.
He needs a center teammate who has the ability to hold the ball with his back, coordination awareness, finishing ability and ability to run without the ball.
Giroud is very strong in back-up, coordination awareness and off-ball running ability, but his finishing ability is relatively weak.
However, Giroud also has merit, that is, his fulcrum support tactics are of very high value.
When the time came to July, Arsenal originally planned to sign Valencia's German central defender Mustafi, but on Martin's suggestion, he transferred to Southampton's Dutch central defender Van Dijk.
When the world's eyes were on France's European Cup quarter-finals, Arsenal introduced Van Dijk from Southampton for 1 million pounds + 4 million pounds in floating terms.
Martin also registered a company called [Martin Innovation Investment Co., Ltd.] in Pengcheng, and through a headhunting company, he hired a forward-looking Red Mountain Capital executive to serve as a professional manager.
After determining the development direction and approximate investment projects, all subsequent matters will be left to professional managers.
France once again suffered an upset in the quarter-finals of the European Cup. Wales, who was not favored by many, defeated the favorite Belgium 1:4. Martin's teammate Ramsey in the club led the European Red Dragons to reverse the upset of the European Red Devils, assisting twice. A teammate scored and the score was reversed.
Another much-anticipated quarter-final did not result in an upset. The Icelandic team, which had previously upset England, lost to the host France 1:4.
波兰跟葡萄牙苦战120分钟战成1：1，最终葡萄牙在点球大战5：3淘汰莱万多夫斯基领衔的波兰。
The strong dialogue between Germany and Italy was also a hard-fought 120 minutes, and the German team finally advanced 6:5 in the penalty shootout.
When the European Cup in France came to the semi-finals, Martin returned to Heping Village in a low-key manner. He looked at the progress of the new teaching building, various sports facilities and the middle-aged and elderly activity center that had started to be constructed, and expressed his recognition of Li Zhuo's work ability.
Three days passed quickly, and France’s European Cup semi-finals kicked off at the Parc Olympique in Lyon.
Portugal, the favorite to win the championship, relied on Ronaldo's pass and shot to defeat Wales, the biggest dark horse of this European Cup, 2:0.
The semi-final between the host France and Germany started at the Velodrome Stadium in Marseille. With Griezmann's contributions in both halves, they also eliminated Germany with a score of 2:0 and joined Portugal in the European Cup. finals.
With the world's focus on the high-profile European Cup final, Martin first flew back home to Porto and stayed with his parents for two days before being invited by his club teammates Giroud, Koscielny and Cristiano Ronaldo. Go to the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, a town in the northern suburbs of Paris, to watch the 2016 European Cup final.
He Wei, the head football commentator of CC5 who was responsible for commentating the French European Cup final, saw Martin clocking in in Paris and immediately made a phone call to invite Martin to be a special commentator at the final.
Martin had already seen the trailer of Yang5. Xu Yang's partner He Wei was already the guest commentator for the finals. If he joins, it will definitely have an impact.
Of course, the most important thing is to focus on investing in companies during this period.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning~
So I want to have a good rest before Arsenal’s training camp for the new season and prepare for the 2016-2017 season.
On the day of the European Cup final, Saint-Denis, a small town in the northern suburbs of Paris, was particularly lively and crowded.
Martin and his adoptive father and mother set off from the hotel about two hours before the start of the game, headed to the Stade de France, and entered the stadium from the VIP channel that led directly to the VIP seats.
This game, which kicked off on time at [-]pm local time, was no different from what Martin remembered.
Ronaldo was unable to continue the game due to a knee injury less than 10 minutes into the game and was replaced by his friend Quaresma.
"Hey~"
Martin heard his adoptive father Miguel Mario, who was holding his head and sighing, shaking his head and saying: "Cristiano is injured. It seems that the championship is out of the question."
"Not necessarily."
After hearing what his son Martin said, Miguel Mario asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
"Cristiano Ronaldo's injury may not be a bad thing for Portugal. Of course, I will first explain that I am not criticizing him, but Cristiano will definitely have a lot of offensive ideas when he is present. If he is injured, the team can focus on All focus is on defense, the French team is not always a particularly good team in positional warfare, maybe..."
Martin said meaningfully.
"Maybe what?"
Miguel Mario was clearly intrigued by Martin.
Adoptive mother Clara Anna was also curious, but she didn't show it, especially when she saw Martin's half-smiling expression.
"Dad, I'm thirsty."
"Stinky boy."
Miguel Mario walked to the table in the VIP box without curiosity, took a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and handed it to Martin: "Can we talk now?"
"Hmm~"
Martin drank the whole glass of juice and burped before saying: "Portugal without Cristiano will definitely defend with all its strength, but it does not mean that it loses its ability to counterattack. Nani and Ricardo Quares, Marco, all have speed. , technology, Joao Mario and Renato Sanchez can complete the transition from defense to offense and pass the ball. As long as they seize the opportunity, they can definitely defeat the French team."
Finally, he added: "I fully expect your country to have the last laugh."
"real or fake?"
Miguel Mario looked suspicious, but was very excited inside.
He knew that his son Martin's ability to judge the game was extremely accurate, and he could often see details that others could not capture. If he could completely see Portugal winning, then... there is a high probability that he would be the champion.
Hi Sen~
(*^▽^*).
Adoptive mother Clara Anna turned to Martin and asked: "Son, can you tell me that my home country, Argentina, has a chance to win the intercontinental championship?"
"Yes, I have."
Martin said without hesitation: "But at least until my contract with Arsenal ends."
"Your contract with Arsenal has just ended? Doesn't that wait until...the next America's Cup?"
"Yes."
"But Leo was already 34 years old at that time."
"Don't worry, players like Leo get better as they get older. Although Argentina has given up on flashiness and completed self-innovation, it... is not enough. More players with strength are needed to grow up."
Clara Anna nodded in understanding, and then slowly digested her son's words.
In the European Cup final at the Stade de France, with Cristiano Ronaldo being substituted, it completely became a half-time offensive drill for the French team, which made the Portuguese team a little breathless.
From the change in his adoptive father's expression, Martin knew how nervous he was now.
In fact, it's easy to understand. If the motherland in my heart is standing in the finals of an intercontinental competition, even if I can't play, I will be nervous depending on the changes in the scene.
Moussa Sissoko's long-range shot hit the crossbar and directly raised the hearts of Portuguese fans in their throats.
Fortunately, Portugal defended very well and did not give the offensive system led by Griezmann and Pogba any chance to start comfortably.
After 10 and 0 minutes, the scoreboard still showed 0:[-], and the two sides had to enter overtime.
The physical fitness of the players on both sides has declined, and the quality of the scene cannot be compared with that in regular time.
The first 15 minutes of the overtime ended with a mutual attack and defense.
Seeing the core players of both sides constantly panting with their arms akimbo, everyone thought that the game was going to enter a brutal penalty shootout.
Unexpectedly, in the 109th minute of the game, Portugal, which had endured for more than 100 minutes, broke the deadlock.
Forward Eder, who came on the bench, leaned against Koscielny with his back, using his strong body and abundant physical fitness to forcefully wipe out Moutinho's direct pass.
Umtiti made a misjudgment and thought that a Portuguese player would advance forward on the right, so he did not rush forward in time.
Edel noticed that his teammate on the right did not intervene in time, so he decisively shot a cold arrow in front of the top of the penalty area.
The kicked football jumped up twice on the turf like a cannonball, passed the fingertips of Lloris's right hand, which he subconsciously pounced on, and hit the lower left corner of the goal...
Suddenly, the Stade de France became a sea of joy for Portuguese fans.
French fans were stunned.
And this goal was also the only goal of the game.
In the end, Portugal defeated the host France 1:0 with Eder's long shot and won the first intercontinental championship in team history.
The birth of a new European Cup champion also means that pre-season preparations for the 2016-2017 season are not far away.

With the world's focus on the high-profile European Cup final, Martin first flew back home to Porto and stayed with his parents for two days before being invited by his club teammates Giroud, Koscielny and Cristiano Ronaldo. Go to the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, a town in the northern suburbs of Paris, to watch the 2016 European Cup final.
He Wei, the head football commentator of CC5 who was responsible for commentating the French European Cup final, saw Martin clocking in in Paris and immediately made a phone call to invite Martin to be a special commentator at the final.
Martin had already seen the trailer of Yang5. Xu Yang's partner He Wei was already the guest commentator for the finals. If he joins, it will definitely have an impact.
Of course, the most important thing is to focus on investing in companies during this period.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning~
So I want to have a good rest before Arsenal’s training camp for the new season and prepare for the 2016-2017 season.
On the day of the European Cup final, Saint-Denis, a small town in the northern suburbs of Paris, was particularly lively and crowded.
Martin and his adoptive father and mother set off from the hotel about two hours before the start of the game, headed to the Stade de France, and entered the stadium from the VIP channel that led directly to the VIP seats.
This game, which kicked off on time at [-]pm local time, was no different from what Martin remembered.
Ronaldo was unable to continue the game due to a knee injury less than 10 minutes into the game and was replaced by his friend Quaresma.
"Hey~"
Martin heard his adoptive father Miguel Mario, who was holding his head and sighing, shaking his head and saying: "Cristiano is injured. It seems that the championship is out of the question."
"Not necessarily."
After hearing what his son Martin said, Miguel Mario asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
"Cristiano Ronaldo's injury may not be a bad thing for Portugal. Of course, I will first explain that I am not criticizing him, but Cristiano will definitely have a lot of offensive ideas when he is present. If he is injured, the team can focus on All focus is on defense, the French team is not always a particularly good team in positional warfare, maybe..."
Martin said meaningfully.
"Maybe what?"
Miguel Mario was clearly intrigued by Martin.
Adoptive mother Clara Anna was also curious, but she didn't show it, especially when she saw Martin's half-smiling expression.
"Dad, I'm thirsty."
"Stinky boy."
Miguel Mario walked to the table in the VIP box without curiosity, took a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and handed it to Martin: "Can we talk now?"
"Hmm~"
Martin drank the whole glass of juice and burped before saying: "Portugal without Cristiano will definitely defend with all its strength, but it does not mean that it loses its ability to counterattack. Nani and Ricardo Quares, Marco, all have speed. , technology, Joao Mario and Renato Sanchez can complete the transition from defense to offense and pass the ball. As long as they seize the opportunity, they can definitely defeat the French team."
Finally, he added: "I fully expect your country to have the last laugh."
"real or fake?"
Miguel Mario looked suspicious, but was very excited inside.
He knew that his son Martin's ability to judge the game was extremely accurate, and he could often see details that others could not capture. If he could completely see Portugal winning, then... there is a high probability that he would be the champion.
Hi Sen~
(*^▽^*).
Adoptive mother Clara Anna turned to Martin and asked: "Son, can you tell me that my home country, Argentina, has a chance to win the intercontinental championship?"
"Yes, I have."
Martin said without hesitation: "But at least until my contract with Arsenal ends."
"Your contract with Arsenal has just ended? Doesn't that wait until...the next America's Cup?"
"Yes."
"But Leo was already 34 years old at that time."
"Don't worry, players like Leo get better as they get older. Although Argentina has given up on flashiness and completed self-innovation, it... is not enough. More players with strength are needed to grow up."
Clara Anna nodded in understanding, and then slowly digested her son's words.
In the European Cup final at the Stade de France, with Cristiano Ronaldo being substituted, it completely became a half-time offensive drill for the French team, which made the Portuguese team a little breathless.
From the change in his adoptive father's expression, Martin knew how nervous he was now.
In fact, it's easy to understand. If the motherland in my heart is standing in the finals of an intercontinental competition, even if I can't play, I will be nervous depending on the changes in the scene.
Moussa Sissoko's long-range shot hit the crossbar and directly raised the hearts of Portuguese fans in their throats.
Fortunately, Portugal defended very well and did not give the offensive system led by Griezmann and Pogba any chance to start comfortably.
After 10 and 0 minutes, the scoreboard still showed 0:[-], and the two sides had to enter overtime.
The physical fitness of the players on both sides has declined, and the quality of the scene cannot be compared with that in regular time.
The first 15 minutes of the overtime ended with a mutual attack and defense.
Seeing the core players of both sides constantly panting with their arms akimbo, everyone thought that the game was going to enter a brutal penalty shootout.
Unexpectedly, in the 109th minute of the game, Portugal, which had endured for more than 100 minutes, broke the deadlock.
Forward Eder, who came on the bench, leaned against Koscielny with his back, using his strong body and abundant physical fitness to forcefully wipe out Moutinho's direct pass.
Umtiti made a misjudgment and thought that a Portuguese player would advance forward on the right, so he did not rush forward in time.
Edel noticed that his teammate on the right did not intervene in time, so he decisively shot a cold arrow in front of the top of the penalty area.
The kicked football jumped up twice on the turf like a cannonball, passed the fingertips of Lloris's right hand, which he subconsciously pounced on, and hit the lower left corner of the goal...
Suddenly, the Stade de France became a sea of joy for Portuguese fans.
French fans were stunned.
And this goal was also the only goal of the game.
In the end, Portugal defeated the host France 1:0 with Eder's long shot and won the first intercontinental championship in team history.
The birth of a new European Cup champion also means that pre-season preparations for the 2016-2017 season are not far away.
