Chapter 275 Gossip in the Box

The carved walls and suspended ceiling, and the intricate Baroque interior decoration style highlight the elegance and elegance. This is the best VIP box in the Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.

There are five people in the box, on the large central sofa, with the left as the main and the right as the supplement. Sitting on the right is a middle-aged man in his early forties with a calm and handsome temperament. There is always a hint of melancholy in his eyes. On the sofa next to him on his right was the only woman in the box, a very beautiful girl who was as young as seventeen or eighteen years old. Her blue eyes could cover up all the brightness of the Alvalade Stadium. Beauty is as beautiful as jade, and this girl is the chosen one among jade.

On the left side of the couch is a tall and thin young man in his twenties, with blond hair and brown eyes, handsome and noble temperament, with irrepressible confidence and heroism in his expression. Not far behind the young man, standing with his hands behind his back, was a muscular man in his forties with a slightly oriental face.

On the independent sofa to the right of the handsome young man, sat a fat man about fifty years old. He was the young man's friend and the Portuguese Sports Minister, Thiago Rodriguez.

"Thiago, you are a born and raised supporter of Sporting Lisbon." The young man said to Minister Rodriguez: "In your opinion, how likely is Sporting Lisbon to win today?"

"Haha, it's hard to say, His Highness Prince Ergul." Minister Rodriguez said: "The Chinese in Madibao is very powerful. The Athletic team...may not have any players who can guard against him."

"This Chinese boy is very popular this year, and the fat Italian guy's hype is quite successful." Prince Ergul said to the calm and melancholy middle-aged man next to him: "What do you think? Uncle Franz."

"You know, Your Highness, I am not a football fan, I don't know much about football, and I don't watch football very much." Uncle Franz replied. "What? Prince Ergul, are you interested in this Chinese? Do you want to buy him into your team?"

"No, no, no, Uncle Franz, I didn't mean that." Prince Ergul quickly explained with a smile, with arrogance and contempt in his smile. "As far as I know, this Chinese named Zhuo Yang refuses all transfer negotiations. Otherwise, all the European giants will be moved because of him."

"However, even if there is a possibility of his transfer, I will not be involved."

"Oh, why is that?" Minister Rodriguez asked.

"The Chinese are very valuable, and the transfer price will definitely be above 50 million or even more. There is no doubt about this. However, in my opinion, no one in the world is worth so much money, and among those who play football , let alone." Perhaps, the real reason is that Prince Ergul may not necessarily be able to afford this price.

"My team will never buy such expensive players anyway, they are not worth it.

Players are just a tool for me to make money. To put it bluntly, they can only be a tool for entertainment for us upper class people, even if this tool can also play the piano. "Prince Ergul was not secretive at all in front of his friends. "Of course, these words cannot be spread outside, otherwise it will affect our external image, hahahaha..."

Prince Ergul smiled cheerfully and conceitedly. The other three men frowned slightly when they heard the words. The girl's expression was calm and did not change at all. She was always paying attention to the game below.

Seeing that no one answered his words, Prince Ergul was a little embarrassed. He asked the girl without any words: "Kristine, who do you think will win today? Lisbon or Madibao?"

Christine turned a deaf ear and ignored Prince Ergul. She still watched the game below without twisting her head.

His Royal Highness was quite bored, so he asked the man standing behind him: "Sharma, I remember that you hate the Chinese the most, is that right?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I hate the Chinese very much!" Sharma answered resolutely.

Seeing that the topic was getting more outrageous, Minister Rodriguez quickly spoke up and asked the girl who had been silent.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Christine, you haven't said which team you support yet?"

Princess Christine still didn't answer. She was still looking at the game going on below, staring at the figure wearing blue and white striped No. 18 with long hair running on the field.

Uncle Franz frowned slightly again. He was a little unhappy and asked the girl softly: "Christine, His Royal Highness and the Minister are asking you, why don't you answer? This is very impolite. You heard me ? Christine? Christine..."

Christine finally came back to her senses, and she looked at Franz in shock. "What's wrong? Father. What's the matter?..."

Christine is not ungrateful. On the contrary, etiquette and self-cultivation have been ingrained in her genes since she was a child. However, every time she saw that figure, her world would be filled with flowers, and she could no longer tolerate or hear any gossip.

Sporting Lisbon's actual scientific name is Sporting Lisbon, and Sporting Lisbon is just his 'nickname' in the football circle. The club's senior management has tried to clear up his name many times, but the football world is so stubborn and wants to call him Sporting Lisbon. What can they do? ? Therefore, we can only call each other internally and externally.

Portuguese football has performed well in recent years. It has reached the European finals for three consecutive years and won the championship the first two times. However, that was Mourinho's Porto. After re-stating the points again next year, the Portuguese Super League will probably surpass Ligue 1 and become the fifth largest league in Europe.

Sporting Lisbon, one of the traditional top three in the Portuguese Super League, is far behind Benfica and Porto in terms of results, but there have been king-level figures like Luis Figo in history. Cristiano Ronaldo with a hot sleeve up his sleeve.

In the 2004-05 UEFA Cup final between Fort Madi and Sporting Lisbon, in terms of team strength, the outside world should have been generally optimistic about Fort Madi. After all, they were the most cutting-edge team in Europe in the first half of the year and they were from their own country. The defending champion, who is tied with Bayern Munich in the league, looks more likely to win on paper than Sporting Lisbon. But in fact, all gambling odds and media speculation indicate that the two teams are basically 50-50. The main reason is that the Alvalade Stadium itself is the home stadium of Sporting Lisbon.

The Alvalade Stadium is the best stadium in Portugal and is often used by UEFA as the final venue for neutral competitions. This year is no different, but Sporting Lisbon happened to be in the final.

Playing at the opponent's home court is not the biggest disadvantage of Fort Madi. Compared to Sporting Lisbon, which only has one and a half main forwards, the Chilean Pinilla is absent due to a knee injury, Fort Madi lost three strong players in this game. Because in the second leg of the last semi-final against CSKA Moscow of the Russian Super League, the red and yellow cards of the 'official whistle' Alain Hamel were free of charge. Although Madibau was secretly sent to the final by UEFA, the Musketeers The three absolute main players, Mario Gomez, Andrei Arshavin, and Fabio Grosso, received red cards due to the official whistle's balancing act and missed the final.

Therefore, sooner or later, you will have to pay it back if you come out to hang out. There is no advantage in the world that is taken in vain.
