80_80813Stephen Rose sat depressedly in the stands of the Red Bull Stadium in New York, looking down the court.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, he faintly heard the disgruntled boos of the fans from the sparsely populated stands.

Even before the end of the game, he kept seeing disappointed fans leave the stadium early.

It's so depressing, isn't it?

Even he, as the organizer of the event, was depressed about the competition.

0-0, you're good, at least score a goal

Turning his head to the side, look at Roman Abramovich and Galliani, who had just quarreled at halftime to defend their team, and are still sulking.

They both felt that the other party was too conservative

Chelsea weren't an attacking team in the first place, at best they were fluent in attack under Carlo Ancelotti.

With the arrival of new head coach Rafael Benitez this summer, the Spanish fat man is known for his emphasis on offensive and defensive balance, coupled with Chelsea's unfavorable summer transfer recruitment, which has planted his head on Luka Modric, Stroman, Eden Hazard and Cesar Azpilicueta, making Chelsea still in adjustment and turmoil.

As for AC Milan, the Serie A team is already very defensive, and after AC Milan let go of Andrea Pirlo last summer, the playmaking quality of the midfield has dropped significantly

Although the front court has famous stars such as Pazzini and Robinho, as well as the Italian youngster Shaarawy who rose last season, forming an attacking combination in the front court, without the support of the midfield, the front court cannot fly.

In this case, the match between the two teams at the Red Bulls in New York looks like not an offensive feast for fans to entertain fans at all, but a dreary battle to see who makes fewer mistakes.

Both sides made a ton of mistakes in the game, attacking mistakes, defensive mistakes, and mistakes in the midfield passes.

It makes the whole game look indescribably depressed

In the end, the score of 0-0 reflects the process of the game very well.

Fans boo, Stephen Rose is not surprised at all.

Fans all over the world want to see the offensive in full swing, the back and forth of the attack.

Instead of the kind of you who just happened, I clear the field and see who can defend whom

Doesn't this play people?

Oh, I paid four hundred dollars and drove here just to see how well you guys defended?

Am I not adding to myself?

So, don't blame the fans for booing

Stephen Ross himself knows this, so he is depressed

"Is the game over there?"

The voice of the American real estate tycoon at this time seemed very low, and he was indescribably old.

Even the original eyebrows fluttering look now full of tiredness, and the whole person seems to be much older.

Matt Higgins stepped up and nodded, "It's over." ”

"How?" Stephen Rose hurriedly asked.

The news he was most eager to hear was that the situation over there was also pretty bad.

This person, when he is lucky, he always hopes that he will enjoy it alone, but when he is unlucky, he wishes to have a difficult brother and sister to bear it together, which is called the same wealth and hardship, and it is easy to share hardship.

But it was clear that Matt Higgins was not getting the information he had hoped.

So, the young American hesitated a little and didn't know what to say.

Stephen Ross sighed, "It's okay, I'm mentally prepared, you can say it"

This time, even Abramovich and Galliani came together.

Matt Higgins nodded, "According to the intelligence, it attracted a total of 82,357 fans in total, and the final result of the game was 3-3, and Manchester United and Southampton played to a draw. ”

At this time, the faces of Abramovich and Galliani became ugly.

It's all a draw, how can people play 3-3, and we can only play 0-0?

Galliani glanced at the Russians, not you yet?

Oh, look at the midfield set that Benitez lined, why didn't Adam Lallana, the most creative Zào force, play?

You make it clear that you don't plan to attack, you just want to defend to the death

Abramovich is not here either, blame us for everything?

Oh, you're desperately retreating to the front of your big forbidden area, just waiting for us to press up and attack?

Are you a fool to me?

Our own offense is also problematic now, okay?

If we attack now, you will have to fight back cheaply, and we will lose by then, and you will have to sè if you win, is there such a cheap thing

Stephen Rose looked at these two people, although he didn't speak, but his eyes were full of the smell of gunpowder coming and going, and he sighed in his heart, what kind of people are these?

Look at the people, how well organized.

More than 82,000 fans, based on the average ticket price of $400, that's more than $35 million.

In addition, I heard that Southampton alone has attracted nearly 100,000 fans to watch their training since the start of the training camp on the East Coast of the United States, and one fan has received $5 million in training tickets, and this alone has received $5 million.

And Manchester United, and Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, and what about other teams?

Yaagobeg's, if you count sponsors such as Adidas and Coca-Cola, and then count the broadcast fees that are very small but add up to an objective amount, Miracle Media will not lose this event

At least there is no problem with the return on investment

Maybe they're going to make some money

And the game is exciting, six goals, on average, one goal in fifteen minutes, it's enjoyable

This time people will definitely win the reputation and win the market

And on their own side, they lose lose

Matt O. Higgins sat on the sidelines, feeling the depression in Stephen O. Rose's heart.

But he also knows very well that Stephen Rose must not be discouraged, otherwise, how can he continue his gold-collar job? Wasn't it just beaten back to its original shape overnight?

"Boss, in fact, the main problem is not in the team, but in the rules."

"Rules?"

"Yes, when they designed the rules for the group stage of the International Champions Cup, they clearly encouraged goals, not only because there is a prize money for scoring goals, but also because when there is a tie between the two teams, the highest priority is the number of goals."

Matt Higgins's words left Stephen Rose speechless.

On his side, he was in a hurry, and he didn't think about the competition system enough.

Also, I spent a lot of money to invite the team before, and the director was able to save money in terms of bonuses, but the problem was exposed.

Stephen Rose is so depressed, how did things come to this?

"It's okay, boss, we still have a late game, the LA Galaxy vs. Everton in the Premier League, it's also very interesting"

Stephen Rose listened, almost roaring.

Interesting? There's a to look at

The evening showdown was Bayern Munich against Real Madrid, at the FedEx Stadium in Washington, D.C., which is more than 80,000 people.

Do you use the LA Galaxy and Everton to play against a star-studded team?

Isn't that looking for death?

Thinking of this, Stephen Rose felt a burst of discouragement.

Lost, completely lost

At least this year, I will not only lose to my competitors, but also lose a lot of money

At least he still hasn't figured out how to fill up the money lost in the event

As it turns out, the duel on the football pitch is often not decided by the players on the pitch.

The outcome of many games is already predestined the moment the two sides walk onto the pitch.

The International Champions Cup vs. the North American Invitational Tournament, the first leg of the competition, the International Champions Cup with more than 82,000 fans attendance, completely reduced the attendance of more than 8,000 fans in the North American Invitational Tournament, and won completely.

This is not surprising, as the Red Bull Stadium is only 20,000 people full.

In the evening, in the second game, the International Champions Cup launched Bayern Munich against Real Madrid, which once again detonated the enthusiasm of fans all over the world, especially Uncle Bird personally rushed to Washington with a star lineup to help.

When the coquettish "hurrli" sounded at FedEx Stadium in Washington, D.C., the more than 80,000 fans in the audience were almost soft.

Especially with Uncle Bird's chubby body, but coquettish dance, it feels particularly joyful.

And back to football itself, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich themselves are also playing against each other, using guò as an unreserved attacking football, using their opponents to test their teams.

The two sides scored 5-3, and in the end, Real Madrid had a slight advantage.

This also made fans all over the world addicted

On the other hand, in another match in Washington, the LA Galaxy and Everton ended up with the latter 2-1.

But the match only attracted more than 3,000 fans.

For no other reason, fans all over Washington's periphery came to watch Bayern Munich play Real Madrid.

In the joking words of the New York Times, the International Champions Cup is like a bejeweled fashion beauty, and the North American Invitational is a yellow-faced woman covered in the smell of oil.

As the most popular sport among young people, it is self-evident who is more likable

In fact, with the International Champions Cup in New York and Washington, D.C., the West Coast tournament was also sold out.

Even when the second round of the group stage ignited the fire again, the attendance rate of the International Champions Cup was still high, and countless fans complained that it was difficult to find a ticket.

Especially in the third round, it is a matter of fighting for the right to qualify from the group, Southampton, who won one and drew one, in order to ensure the right to qualify from the group, fought Real Madrid in Ann Arbor, and the two sides finally fought 3 to 1, and Southampton was even better.

And this game also attracted 110,000 fans to watch the game, not only the most watched football game in American history, but also surpassed the attendance record of the Super Bowl, the most proud and proud of Americans.

It was this war that shocked almost the entire United States and even the whole world

110,000 people

There were 110,000 people who came to watch the key match between Southampton and Real Madrid

And you know, it's not just a lot of people, it's just a lot of momentum.

That's money, a gushing amount of money

Not only on the east coast, but on the west coast, Barcelona's final group stage match against Arsenal also attracted more than 85,000 fans to watch the game, and Barcelona lost 4-2 to Arsenal.

Looking at the group stage of the entire International Champions Cup, everyone was surprised to find that the lowest attendance rate was more than 70,000.

This could not help but amaze and shock even the media in the United States.

It was even issued that whoever dares to say that the United States is a football desert in the future will use this number to slap the face

Klinsmann, head coach of the U.S. national team, said in a high-profile manner that governments across the United States should vigorously support such events, activate the enthusiasm of American fans for football, and promote the development of the U.S. soccer industry.

In fact, the International Champions Cup is on fire, and it is not just fame that is gained, not just money.

There is a brighter future for the harvest.
