Chapter 30

Before going to Japan to participate in the World Club Cup, Fiorentina still has two league games to play. In the fifteenth round of the league, Fiorentina will go to an away game to challenge Turin. After missing the game with Roma, Degan returned from injury.

Only three minutes into the game, Fiorentina got a free kick from the front of the penalty area. Of course, Degan stood in front of the ball without letting it go, and scored directly with a curved kick.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Fiorentina expanded their lead again. Maggio made a cross from the right, and Digan responded with a header from the center.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. In the 75th minute, Degan broke through from the left and passed back. Modric tricked the defender into a left-footed volley and scored from the far corner.

Two minutes later, Maggio brought down Rosina in the penalty area, and Rosina took the penalty kick himself to win a point.

However, in the 82nd minute, Pascual made a low pass from the left, and Digan scored twice with a push from 6 meters in front of the goal.

In the end, 3:1, after losing to Rome, Florence knocked on the door of victory again.

In the sixteenth round of the league, Fiorentina played at home and defeated Catania, who came to challenge, with a score of 2:0. In the fifty-sixth minute of the game, Montolivo got rid of the defender's entanglement and made a direct pass. Digan cut into the penalty area and made a pass.

In the 79th minute, after receiving a pass from Hamsik who came off the bench, Degan picked up Stovini and goalkeeper Bizari one after another, and shot into the empty goal with the outside instep 4 meters in front of the goal.

After the game against Catania, the Fiorentina team will leave for Japan to participate in the annual Club World Cup.

The Club World Cup, the full name of which is the FIFA World Club Cup (fflbrldp), is an international football tournament hosted by FIFA and attended by the top teams from six continents.

In 2000, a nominal Club World Cup was held. FIFA hopes that the event can change the original form of participation of European and South American clubs in the Toyota Cup. This new event can attract the top players from the six continents of the world. The club participated, but unfortunately FIFA failed to reach an agreement with the host organization of the Intercontinental Cup, so the Intercontinental Cup continued to be held, and the World Club Cup was held as usual in 2000.

Later, due to sponsor issues, the event was forced to be cancelled, and it was not restarted until the 2005 Club World Cup. Therefore, it is customary for people to regard the 2005 game as the first Club World Cup, and every subsequent event will be held in Japan.

The Club World Cup aims to allow champions from all continents of the world to fight against each other like the World Cup, so that clubs from all continents can also have a world-class event.

Some fans mistakenly believe that the Club World Cup is an extended evolution of the Toyota Cup. In fact, this view is not entirely correct. The organizers of the event itself are different. The Club World Cup is FIFA, while the Toyota Cup is jointly organized by UEFA and CONMEBOL.

When the Club World Cup was hosted for the first time in 2000, the Toyota Cup was still going on, and the 1998 Toyota Cup champion Real Madrid still had a qualification.

When the Club World Cup was resumed in 2005, FIFA had reached an agreement with the organizer of the Toyota Cup before that, combining the Toyota Cup and the Club World Cup into one, and the Toyota Cup officially disappeared in the long river of history. Among them, the Club World Cup has officially become the only international club competition.

The first Club World Cup was held in Brazil in 2000. At that time, a total of 8 teams participated, namely Manchester United, Corinthians, Vasco da Gama, Necasa, Real Madrid, Al Nacer, Laga. -Casablanca, and South Melbourne.

In the end, Corinthians won the championship, Da Gama won the runner-up, Necasa beat Real Madrid with a penalty kick to get third, and Real Madrid fourth. However, the Club World Cup at that time was not well received by the outside world, especially at the most intensive stage of European team competitions. As the champions of the Champions League, Manchester United did not make the top four, and Real Madrid only finished fourth.

In 2001, the Club World Cup was originally planned to be held in Spain, but because of the bankruptcy of FIFA's marketing company at that time, the Club World Cup was still born.

In 2005, FIFA successfully merged the Club World Cup and the Toyota Cup, and the Club World Cup returned to the arena. The two Club World Cups in 2005 and 2006 were participated by six teams, that is, the champions of the six continents.

Since 2007, a place has been added for the host of the event, and the number of participating teams has reached 7, and the competition system has continued to this day. For the 7 teams in the Club World Cup, except for the loser in the first game, which does not need to qualify, the loser in other games needs to compete with the other loser to determine the ranking.

In terms of the schedule, the champion of the host league and the champion of Oceania will face off first, and the winner will form four teams with the champions of Asia, Africa, Central North America and the Caribbean. The club champions of South America will go directly to the semi-finals, where they will play against the other two teams, and the winner will join the final.

The organizers of the competition selected the best player on the spot and rewarded them with a Toyota car. The loser competed for the third place. Although it was an unofficial competition, it was considered to be the final competition for the supremacy of the world clubs.

The seven teams in this Club World Cup are: UEFA Champions League champion Fiorentina, South American Libertadores Cup champion Quito Sports University Football Club, Asian Champions League champion Gamba Osaka, CONCACAF Champions Cup champion Pachuca, Asian Champions League runner-up Adelaide United, African Champions Cup champion Al Ahli, and Oceania Champions Cup champion Vitaker United from New Zealand.

When Fiorentina rushed to Yokohama, Japan, the competition for the Club World Cup had already begun. Gamba Osaka, the champion of the 2008 Club World Cup AFC Champions League, also participated as the host. Dryer United defeated Whittaker United 2:1 in the qualifying round to enter the semi-finals.

This is the first time for Degan to come to Japan. Although as a Chinese, he has an innate dislike for Japan, but Degan has to admit that the environment of this small island country is really good.

This time to participate in the Club World Cup, the championship is a must, but the Fiorentina team does not have the usual nervous feeling, it looks like they are here for tourism.

The team's executive chairman Pakinwa came with the team. Obviously, that bastard is interested in the Japanese market. For the next two days, Florence's training is completely open. Upon request, the Japanese wanted to watch Fiorentina's training, and even had to buy a ticket to enter.

But even so, the Japanese are still flocking to him. Although it is the first time for Degan to come, there are quite a few of his fans in Japan. In the past two days, you can often see fans wearing his jersey in groups. around the training ground.

"Rod! I bet you are more popular in Japan than their emperor!" Pacini looked at the little Japanese girls who kept screaming and calling out Digan's name. His tone was a little sour.

Before this guy came, he was thinking about the nightlife in Japan, but although Prandelli was a little looser with the team after he arrived in Japan, if he wanted to go out and experience the nightlife in Japan, it was not allowed at all. .

Digan kicked the ball indifferently: "It's a pity that their emperor can't play, otherwise, I really want to kick his teeth!"

If there is such an opportunity, Degan will never miss it. He will teach the Japanese emperor a lesson, and that will be regarded as resistance against Japan.

However, this can only be a fantasy.

"Rod! You seem to be very disgusted with Japan!" Pacini and Degan lived in the same room. In fact, after arriving in Japan, he felt that Degan, who was always very kind to fans, was treating Japanese fans. , completely ignoring and making no secret of his distaste.

When Digan heard the words, he glanced at the Japanese fans on the sidelines, and his screams immediately increased several decibels: "It's too noisy!"

Pacini shrugged his shoulders, expressing his helplessness. Digan didn't want to see those little girls, but those Japanese girls still rushed forward one by one like moths to a flame.

Two days ago, when the Fiorentina team arrived in Japan, the order in the lobby of the airport was instantly paralyzed, and countless fans flocked here just to have a look at Digan.

With this popularity, only Beckham can compete with Digan in the Fiorentina team!

Although Beckham was not qualified to play this time, he also followed the team to Japan. His task was not to play football training, but to promote with Parkinwa everywhere to help Florence increase its influence in Japan.

After finishing the training in the morning, you can relax in the afternoon. Florence's first game is the day after tomorrow. They will face the winner between Adelaide United and Gamba Osaka.

After taking a shower, Degan returned to his hotel room and dialed a number directly.

"Hey! pp!"

Hearing this delicate voice, Digan couldn't help but smile: "Have you arrived in Japan yet?"

The person opposite was Park Ji-yeon who had made an appointment with Digan to watch the game: "Well! It's here, pp! Do you have time now? Can we meet?"

Digan looked at the time and said, "Okay! Come to the hotel! I'll wait for you here!"

Digan has never been a person who is easy to get close to, but to his own surprise, he has a heartfelt affection for this little Korean girl who met by chance.

After hanging up the phone, Pacini just came out of the bathroom, saw the unusual smile on Digan's face, and said with a smirk: "Rod! It seems that you have finally figured it out, we are good friends, take me with you go!"

Digan was helpless, it was obvious that the nymphomaniac had misunderstood: "Be honest, I want to go out for a while!"

"Hey! Rhodes! This is not enough friends!" Pazzini complained.

Degan glared at him over his shoulder: "Be quiet! Giampaolo! Be careful I tell your fiancée something you did in Florence!"

Hearing this, Pacini hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, and then watched Digan change into a casual outfit and go out, muttering: "You're so stingy!"

Digan went downstairs and did not wait long in the lobby of the hotel when Pu Zhiyan arrived. After looking around for a while, the little girl finally found her target and ran over cheering.

"pp!"

Seeing that Pu Zhiyan was alone again, Digan couldn't help feeling helpless, and took Pu Zhiyan to the side to sit down: "Why did you come here alone again?"

Pu Zhiyan smiled naively: "pp! This time I sneaked out again!"

Now Pu Zhiyan's English is very fluent, and it is not a problem to communicate with Digan at all.

Digan listened, and obviously understood what Pu Zhiyan meant by "sneaking out", and registered a room in this hotel with Pu Zhiyan.

Park Zhiyan looked at the luxurious decoration in the room, and her saliva was about to flow down: "pp! Actually~~~~Actually, as long as I have a bed to sleep in, that's fine!"

Digan smiled and knocked on Pu Zhiyan's head: "However, I 'tricked' you to come to Japan, so I can't treat you badly!"

Pu Zhiyan hugged her head, looking very painful, said: "I didn't cheat, originally Shan Lian wanted to come here together, but her parents didn't agree, so I was smart and didn't talk to my family at all. People say, just buy a plane ticket and come here."

Hearing this, Di Gan couldn't help but smile wryly, if that's the case, he will be Pu Zhiyan's nanny until the end of the game, but he doesn't know what's going on with this girl's family.

"Zhiyan! Call your family and report that you are safe, otherwise, I will send you back right now!"

Despite her reluctance, Pu Zhiyan did it honestly. Digan also explained to her mother through Park Zhiyan's translation, and after a lot of apologies, she finally reassured the old man.

What's next?

Before Digan could think about it, he heard Pu Zhiyan's stomach protesting.

Digan smiled wryly, this girl is really hungry!

Taking Park Ji-yeon out, I picked up a travel guide at the entrance of the hotel. According to the above introduction, I found a restaurant. Although there was English on the menu, Digan couldn't guess the meaning, so I had to order according to the pictures. a lot.

Then it was time for Park Zhiyan to perform. Although this girl is not tall, she has a huge appetite. She filled a table of messy Japanese food within a short time.

"Uh!" Park Zhiyan patted her stomach and hiccupped with satisfaction, "pp! Thank you~~~~uh~~~~~ for your hospitality!"

Digan felt a very exaggerated drop of sweat slipping down, and took a sip of tea to cover it up: "That~~~ Zhiyan! Although it is time to grow, it is better to eat less!"

Pu Zhiyan smiled ho ho: "pp! It's okay, my mother said, you have to eat more to have a good body, anyway, no matter how I eat, I won't gain weight!"

Digan listened, and suddenly thought of something: "The last time I called, I heard you said that you have signed a contract with a brokerage company, what? Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry?"

Park Ji-yeon nodded vigorously: "Yes! pp! It's my dream to be a star!"

There is another reason, Park Zhiyan did not say, she chose to be an artist, a big reason is because Digan, although she is still ignorant of some things, but she feels that if she becomes an artist, becomes a star, Standing in front of Digan, she became more confident.

Before the meeting, Digan wanted to persuade Pu Zhiyan to give up this idea, but after the meeting, he couldn't say it. The choice of life path is everyone's freedom, and Digan doesn't want to be a saboteur.

After eating, the two of them wandered aimlessly in Yokohama. Yokohama is the largest trading port in Japan and is quite prosperous.

Pu Zhiyan is only fifteen years old, and it is the time when she loves to play. Now that there is no one to restrain her, and she is accompanied by her idol Digan, she is naturally having fun.

Neither of these two people noticed that along the way, there were more than a dozen cameras staring at the two of them all the time. Before Digan and Park Zhiyan returned to the hotel, these photos had already been spread on some networks. .

A mysterious woman appeared beside Digan!

Since breaking up with Irina, Digan's emotional life has been blank for the past few months, and now a woman suddenly appeared beside Digan, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

In Italian football, when has a big star like Digan lacked a female companion around him, no matter if he is emotionally dedicated or a prodigal son in love, women are the spices around these stars.

However, Degan is an absolute outlier. Although these years, he has also been envied by many men. First, Argentine sexy supermodel Beren, then Canadian rock queen Avril Lavigne, and before that, Russian supermodel Ivy Lina, but it seems that Digan's mind is not on women at all.

Compared with Inzaghi, Vieri, and Keke, who are prodigal sons in love, Degan is as honest as a good baby.

It's no wonder that some tabloids once suspected Degan's sexual orientation.

Now a woman appeared beside Degan, which naturally attracted people's attention.

Deegan found a new love?

This news caused many women who aimed at Degan to cry. Degan is a veritable diamond king in the football world. As long as he can get close to Degan, fame is 100% a thing.

But those photos on the Internet shattered the fantasies of these crazy bees and butterflies.

Digan and Pu Zhiyan were still unaware of what happened on the Internet. When the two returned to the hotel, they sent Pu Zhiyan back to the room.

Digan had never had the experience of going shopping with a woman. He was so tired that he was about to fall apart all afternoon. He finally went back to his room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Pacini looking at her with a malicious expression. he.

"Rod! You really are not enough friends!"

Digan was taken aback, and watched as Pacini pushed the laptop in front of him. The photos on it were secretly taken when he and Park Zhiyan were shopping.
