Chapter 689 The Eve of the Finals
·
Lao Zuo
The time for this final was set in the early hours of July 7.
The venue is at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv.
The original plan was to start at 2:45, the time of the Imperial Capital of China.
But according to the data, the last England game against Germany.
Until 4 o'clock in the morning, there were still more than [-] million spectators in Asia watching the game.
This data will directly affect a series of income such as advertisements and sponsorships of the day.
From the Cherry Blossom Country Lindy Support Group to the Cold Country Lindy Support Group, apart from Asan, at least ten non-Chinese Lindy support groups have petitioned on Instagram or UEFA's official website.
It is requested that the time of the finals be moved to 0:[-] in the morning.
The petition quickly attracted more than 3000 million fans to participate, which also prompted UEFA to hold an emergency meeting immediately.
When the news was known to the fans in China, Zhang Xu, the liaison of the Lindy Fans Association in 23 provinces of Huaxia, also immediately submitted a petition statement on behalf of the 4000 million members of the Huaxia Fans Association.
The next day, UEFA held a press conference.
【为了全世界的球迷，2012年欧洲杯决赛将调整至7月2日凌晨0:00】
Of course, countries see the time differently.
This is just an episode, but in the eyes of various advertisers.
A player like Lindy who changed the start time of the final by himself is of extraordinary value.
Hull called Lindy that afternoon, and he was waiting for business cooperation in various fields including car companies, communications, and clothing.
In this regard, Lin Di just said: "Don't agree yet, let them add money after I win the championship!"
Hearing this, Hull took it for granted.
Lindy's influence has become a legendary existence since the current European Cup.
In China, Liverpool's pirated No. 6 jersey is almost everywhere.
It even appeared that someone spent money to preemptively register Lindy's trademark to make clothing and sneakers.
Of course, except for the jersey, everything else was handed over to the legal department in Shanghai.
According to the year-end data given by Hull, there are only similar lawsuits for compensation every year.
In the case of ensuring the operation of the company, it even generated a surplus of more than 1000 million, which is amazing.
...
The final is tomorrow, and logically, there will be a final round of mobilization or something today.
It's just that Hodgson is a little different. He called all the players and watched the video together.
Of course, before that, Hodgson went out of his way to find Lindy.
"Lin, I may need your cooperation later."
When Hodgson said this, although Lindy was a little puzzled, he still nodded subconsciously.
"Wait, I'm going to show the video of England winning the title in 1966, you know..."
Hodgson was halfway through, and what he meant was obvious.
Lindy, you should understand.
Lindy frowned: "I can go to the gym to exercise for a while, although it seems a bit out of place, Boss, what do you want me to do?"
Hodgson suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he rubbed his hands and said, "Just react the same as everyone else!"
oh~~~
Lindy actually understood it a long time ago. He had experienced this kind of forced business several times during Simeone's time.
Passive business, I am familiar with this business!
But in the following story, there were some small changes.
When the lights in the auditorium dimmed, everyone focused on the screen.
The first thing that catches the eye is the group of older English players in red and white trousers.
But it wasn't the legendary veterans who attracted everyone's attention.
Instead, in the middle is the championship trophy that symbolizes the number one in the world!
That haunting dream, the best lover in the dream of all footballers---Rimit Cup!
This is also the source of England's only World Cup trophy, the little star on the chest jersey.
Then came the stories of Sir Bobby Charlton and others.
From the expedition, to the group stage, to the knockout stage.
With the support of the fans, the England team, which was fighting locally, stumbled out of the group stage.
In the knockout round, they first defeated Argentina 1-0.
The teenager Henderson even jumped up from his seat when he saw this, raising his arms and shouting: "YES!"
But then, he discovered that it was just a carefully edited video.
And the others looked at him like a fool.
Even this guy Maguire covered his mouth and snickered at this time.
Lin Di directly lowered his head and supported his forehead, he was really ashamed to watch.
Hodgson felt relieved, isn't this a ready-made childcare candidate?
Fortunately, I still found several people in a row today.
Henderson could only blushed and scratched his head, and sat down slowly.
Next, the England team faced fruit teeth in the semi-finals.
Relying on Bobby Charlton's brace to advance to the final.
This time Henderson learned the lesson and applauded with everyone.
The atmosphere at the scene seemed to be very harmonious.
But when England beat West Germany, several players looked at each other.
As if something is brewing.
Lindy has no interest in this period of history, so it doesn't matter at all.
So he was the second one besides Hodgson to know what was coming.
Sure enough, when the England team won the cup.
Henderson shrank his neck and carefully observed the surrounding teammates, for fear of making a joke again.
But at this moment, several veteran players stood up and cheered.
"Yeah!"
"champion!"
"England are champions!"
"That's it!"
"Tomorrow, we will also win the championship trophy!"
The voices of Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney and others overshadowed everyone.
In Henderson's eyes, even Maguire had stood up at this time, put his arms around Gerrard's shoulders and shouted together.
When he turned to look at Lindy,
He was horrified to find that Lindy also stood up, with a ferocious and excited expression, and opened and closed his mouth.
Now, it seemed that everyone except him seemed very excited.
Henderson couldn't turn his head around all of a sudden, has it changed so much?
Are you really playing me?
Soon, everyone discovered this out-of-group guy.
All eyes were on Henderson.
Isn't this guy Toer?
Henderson was so nervous that his hands were shaking, he got up unsteadily and almost fell.
Fortunately, Lindy had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stepped forward to support him.
"Stand still, what does it look like?"
But in the darkness, there was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of Lindy's mouth when he lowered his head.
Only then did Hodgson ask for the lights to be turned on.
Here, he prepared a small ceremony.
He asked his assistant to bring out a bunch of socks, and he held up a pair of them and said:
"These are the socks worn by the legendary veterans...the same style, and they are the only ones left in the warehouse of the England national team!"
Hodgson had a smile on his face, just like the clothes he wore on matchday.
As long as the team wins, Hodgson will not change his clothes until the day of the loss.
Because he thinks it will bring good luck to the team.
Someone joked: Then when he was in Liverpool, he must have to change clothes every day.
But now, the players are a little surprised.
Lindy could see that the faces of the guys who got up first were also a little confused.
It should be rare for a head coach to be so superstitious, right?
In the end, the players stepped forward one by one, half devoutly, half passively, and took the socks from Hodgson. …
Lindy didn't know what other people were feeling.
But Lindy wouldn't miss Gerald's twitching muscles and stiff posture from time to time.
Of course, Lindy also got his pair of socks produced 56 years ago.
Well, there is also an unspeakable smell.
Just as Lindy was thinking about going back and washing it properly, she heard Hodgson say to everyone, "Take it back, keep it intact, and put it on tomorrow, we will definitely win."
Lindy froze as he turned around, and a rotten smell entered his nose again.
Can we still play the ball tomorrow?
