80_80813 "Hello, Mr. Abramovich, welcome to Red Bull Stadium in New York!" ”

At the Red Bull Stadium in New York, New Jersey, the North American Invitational's host representative, Matt? Higgins and Charley? Stilitano greeted the Chelsea executives from London with a smile.

Led by owner Abramovich himself, chairman Bruce? Buck and CEO Marina? The fact that Granovschia was accompanied, along with several of Chelsea's key executives, shows the importance the Blues take in this competition.

"Come, guys, please come inside!"

A group of people walked in in a noisy manner and found that the banquet hall of the huge restaurant had been temporarily converted into a banquet hall, which was quite empty at this time.

Looking at the past, the most conspicuous thing is the big bald head.

Needless introduction, anyone familiar with football knows him, Galliani, the general manager of AC Milan!

It's just that this high-spirited bald man, who couldn't say it a few years ago, has been a little lonely recently, and the reason is that he is not on the right plate with the team's princess Barbara, who has the idea of driving the bald man out of the San Siro stadium.

AC Milan is someone else's property, you are a part-time worker, and you have a conflict with the boss, don't you want to find a draw?

"Hello, Mr. Galliani!" Abramovich greeted him with a smile.

"Long time no see, Mr. Abramovich!" Galliani also stood up and shook hands warmly with the Russians.

Remember that when Abramovich first bought Chelsea, Galliani didn't like it no matter how he looked at it.

But now, the two of them are speculative as if they were wearing the same pants.

It's really touching that the world is impermanent!

"Looks like we're early!" Abramovich glanced at the empty restaurant and was a little amused.

Now, in addition to them, there are reporters from several newspapers and media people from TV stations around the corner.

An unnatural look flashed across Galliani's face, but he also squeezed out a hint of a smile and nodded.

At this moment, there was a loud laugh from the side.

"Haha, not early, not early, Mr. Abramovich, I have long hoped to have the opportunity to get to know you, now is the right time!"

Abramovich and Galliani immediately turned around and found a tall, thin old man with glasses standing next to him.

Matt? Higgins immediately walked up with a smile, "Two, this is our boss, Stephen?" Ross! ”

Stephen? Ross?

This is an American real estate tycoon!

I heard that in the United States, both political and business circles are very open-minded, and their hands and eyes are like cows!

"Hello, Mr. Rose!"

Abramovich and Galliani immediately shook hands with a smile.

After a polite greeting, the three of them sat down.

"New York is a city that, unlike any other city, is empty on weekends and holidays, and the people who work here usually live in the suburbs, and there are a lot of them here in New Jersey."

Abramovich and Galliani didn't know much about New York, so they could only listen obediently.

"After some deliberation, our team decided to schedule the first game of the North American Invitational to kick off at 16 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, hoping to attract more fans to the venue!"

"In addition, we also attach great importance to this game, after all, it is the first game, everyone hopes to be an instant hit, to create a good football market, so for this game, we have invested a lot of energy and effort, and we also plan to have a lively pre-game opening ceremony, inviting including Justin? Many celebrities, including Bieber, came to help! ”

Abramovich, Galiani and others listened and nodded incessantly.

"Not only that, but there will be a group of political and business celebrities including New York, including the New York Red Bulls, including the New York Jets, including the executives of Major League Soccer, who will come to the scene to help!"

Abramovich and Galliani listened and couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

It can be seen that the other party has also invested a lot of effort and resources in this event.

"Mr. Ross!" Galliani had a question, "I heard that the International Champions Cup hosted by Miracle Media is also starting tonight, where are they holding it?" ”

Stephen? Rose laughed, "It's also in New Jersey, and there are no football fields in New York City, so it's not far from here. ”

"Oh." Galliani nodded, "And what about their situation?" ”

Stephen? Ross was obviously prepared, and laughed, "It's very opaque!" ”

"What's going on?" Galliani is strange.

"I remember that the newspapers in Turin, Italy, had reported that the sales of tickets were very good."

Stephen? Rose laughed and shook his head, "That's all blowing, I tell you, the largest online ticketing company in the United States has only one partner, and that is our North American Invitational, and they only sell our tickets." ”

Abramovich and Galliani listened to it and immediately rejoiced.

Online ticketing companies have been very helpful in ticket sales these years, and without such a partner, the ticket sales of Miracle Media's International Champions Cup will definitely be a big hit.

"Before, they released the news that they would sell as many tickets as if they were scarce within 24 hours, but those who are familiar with the American Internet know that that kind of number is not credible at all, it is too exaggerated!"

Everyone nodded in unison, and the Internet is often blown up.

Didn't someone say it?

Standing in the wind, pigs can fly to the sky!

"They only sell tickets online, but unlike us, we have a very stable partner, we sell tickets online and offline at the same time, and our number of jù will be more credible!"

Galliani couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "So, Mr. Rose, how was the attendance for this game?" ”

He is not only concerned about attendance, but also about whether the summit matchup between AC Milan and Chelsea can detonate the American ball market.

You know, this is not just a matter of ticket sales, once it detonates the American ball market and arouses the general concern of all walks of life in the United States, then AC Milan's influence in the United States will be greatly enhanced.

By then, the U.S. sponsors won't be coming?

"It's so impressive, it's almost sold out!" Stephen? Rose replied with a laugh.

When Abramovich and Galliani heard this, their hearts were put down.

It's too embarrassing to worry about being cold during the warm-up game?

Especially after the media and newspapers around the world, people who don't know still think that AC Milan and Chelsea have long lost their glory!

"Please rest assured, we are old partners with more than ten years of cooperation experience, and we dare to arrange the game at the same time as them, which shows that we have extremely strong self-confidence!"

Stephen? Ross said that it was full of pride.

"This is the United States, and we are confident enough to give people who think that by buying a company, they will be able to enter the American market, and give them a head-on blow, because there is no one who knows and understands the American sports market better than us!"

Both Abramovich and Galliani were a little burned by these words.

Although both of them received appearance fees, they didn't care whether the game was successful or not.

But you can't look at it that way entirely.

After all, if the event works successfully, it will definitely be beneficial to them.

Besides, the eight teams in the two groups of the International Champions Cup are already full, and they can't squeeze in at all now, so they can only hope that the North American Invitational Tournament can succeed, or even overtake the International Champions Cup.

Especially like Galliani, who made a lot of bids against the negotiation team of the International Champions Cup and scared the other party away, and now if the North American Invitational Tournament is messed up, what will they do in the future?

Is it possible to take the initiative to come to the door and beg for the International Champions Cup to let them compete?

Is there still the backbone of a giant team?

Can you not go, there is a backbone, but the huge American market and huge economic interests, don't you want it?

Therefore, Galliani's heart is to pray to God and worship Buddha, and he hopes that the North American Invitational Tournament can be successful!

A few people were chatting over there, and the time passed minute by minute.

As the luncheon time approached, although there were guests arriving one after another, compared with the guests of the entire banquet, it was still too few and seemed very empty.

At this time, there was also a lot of discussion in the banquet hall.

"Why is it that people haven't come yet?"

"It's not going to come, is it?"

"How could it not come?"

"I heard that there is also a banquet on the other side!"

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

"Who's to say it isn't? The time of the game is determined by the opposite side first, and then it follows here, and the luncheon is also like this, many guests have already accepted the invitation from the other side, is it difficult to ask people to suddenly change their words? ”

"Makes sense!"

"Also, let me tell you, there are not as many guests invited on the other side, but in addition to the team representatives, there are also sponsor representatives, I heard before, News Corp.'s James? Murdoch will go too! ”

"Really?"

"Fox finally talked about the live broadcast rights of the International Champions Cup in the United States, are you really fake?"

"Eh, I've heard that overseas regions are given to ESPN, the Middle East is given to Peninsula, the UK and Europe are given to Sky TV, and China is given to CCTV at a low price!"

"Who's to say it isn't? Almost most of the world is live over there, but here it hasn't even sold live TV. ”

"It can't be that bad, right?"

"It's so miserable, you see, no one is coming!"

The voices of the crowd came over, Stephen? Rose's face was rather ugly.

Abramovich and Galiani glanced at each other, and they both saw the depression in each other's hearts.

Ya, you just said so much, you dare to brag!

At this moment, a reporter suddenly stood up and spoke on the phone.

“…… I'm too noisy here, you be louder, what? Crowds over there? Full house? No way? ”

"Oh, so many celebrities singing, okay, I'll be right over!"

As he spoke, he saw that the man was hurriedly packing up his things and running away.

Oh yes, I didn't even say a word of goodbye!

It's so faceless!

As soon as they saw their fellow reporters running to find news, all the reporters immediately followed suit.

Not long after, the second person ran to the organizer to complain, although he found a temporary reason, but everyone could see that he ran to the opposite side to pull the news.

The third, the fourth......

In less than five minutes, the reporter ran more than halfway through.

As soon as I saw that the reporters had run out, some of the guests couldn't sit still.

Just as Abramovich and Galliani were secretly cursing the reporter in their hearts, a man walked up.

"I'm sorry, Stephen, there is something going on in the company temporarily, I have to go back and deal with it quickly!"

Stephen? Rose stood up in surprise, "No, Gabel, you're the president of Major League Soccer, you promised me to come and take charge, now ......"

"I'm sorry, Stephen, there's really something, there's really something......"

As he spoke, he walked out of the door without any discussion.

Someone started a start, and someone followed one after another.

"Stephen, I'm suddenly feeling a little sick and I'm going back to rest!"

"What's going on? What's uncomfortable? ”

"I ...... The butt hurts ......"

"My ass hurts...... I ......"

Not waiting for Stephen? Rose reacted, and the man was gone again.

At this moment, everyone can see it, and this person's heart is scattered!

Even those who choose to stay.
