Fox in the Penalty Area

Fox in the Forbidden Zone Chapter 59 The whole world is in the same situation

Feeling the gazes of the people around her, Sylvia's mother lowered her eyelids and looked at her strapless, low-cut evening dress, then turned her head and asked her daughter in a low voice:

"Am I dressed too formally?"

Sylvia could only say to her mother dumbfounded: "I told you a long time ago, this is just a football match, not a charity dinner..."

"It's terrible, if we appear on live TV, I don't want them to dig out this video in the future and then make judgments about 'Meili's girlfriend's mother is an ugly and fat old woman'..." Mom said.

"But mom, you are neither ugly nor fat." Sylvia comforted her.

"You'd better look me in the eyes when you say this, so I'll believe you mean it, Sylvia."

Sylvia looked at her and smiled: "Okay, just a little fat, but definitely not ugly or old."

The mother ignored her daughter and turned to look around.

This was a large box at Pirates Park. In addition to the mother and daughter, there were other people in the box.

They are all supporters of the King of Madrid - this can be seen from the king's scarves hanging around their necks.

Behind their seats is an island with a variety of free drinks and snacks.

In addition, there are several TV sets, and the screen is playing a video of Hu Lai throwing lucky coins on the sidelines on behalf of the Madrid Pirates earlier.

The stadium is now empty. Players from both sides have finished their warm-up and returned to their respective locker rooms to make final preparations for the game.

Outside the box was the packed stands of the Pirates Park Stadium. Whether they were fans of the home team or the visiting team, they packed the entire stands to the brim and made all kinds of noises, making the entire stadium look like a pot of boiling water.

Sylvia and her mother took in the scene together.

This was their first time to watch a game live. As non-fans, it was a lot of surprises for them.

"My heart is beating a little fast..." Mom whispered, covering her heart. "I don't know if it's because it's too noisy."

"This is the Madrid derby..." Silvia explained.

"This is the Madrid derby!"

Han Shuyu in the media gallery sighed loudly while pointing his cell phone at the surrounding stands to take pictures.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still can't help but get excited!"

In the media box next to her, media reporters from more than 190 countries and regions around the world gathered here, vying to cover this game.

Han Seo-yu was filming with his mobile phone while yelling in the media gallery, which did not attract other people's attention, because at this time, the media gallery was as lively as a vegetable market, full of languages ​​​​from various countries.

In the new media era, reporters rarely quickly type on laptop keyboards and write articles on the spot in the media box like reporters in the previous era.

Nowadays, they only need to take out their mobile phones to take a short video and post it online, becoming a "report from the front line of the scene."

In fact, such grand events have appeared more often in the "El Clasico" between Madrid Kings and Catalonia United.

Although the Madrid derby between Madrid Pirates and Madrid Kings is not inferior to the "El Clasico" in intensity, it still attracts slightly less attention.

The difference can be seen from the names of the two.

One is a "national derby" and the other is a "city derby". Of course, a country is bigger than a city.

But now as the competition between Melli and Hu Lai becomes more intense, everyone is paying more attention to Madrid's city derby.

"City Derby" can already be on an equal footing with "National Derby".

After last season's Champions League final, the whole world was waiting for this game - waiting to see if the Madrid king could get revenge.

The Champions League final between the two teams was so classic. The two teams scored a total of eight goals, and one was blown out. The world was full of waves - four super-good-looking world-wide goals were born in one game.

The reason why Hu Lai was able to win the European Ballon d'Or this summer is also considered to be inseparable from his performance in this final.

In other words, if he hadn't lost this final, Melli might have been able to compete for the Golden Globe Award, and he wouldn't have lost so unsuspiciously.

So this game is a battle of revenge for both the Madrid Kings team and Melli personally.

If he can defeat Hu Lai, he might even be able to win the World Footballer of the Year award at the end of the year.

After all, unlike the European Ballon d'Or, the World Footballer selection looks at the performance of a natural year, while the former looks at the performance of a New Year's season.

Even if Hu Lai has won so many honors, it is only for his performance in the first half of the year. The second half has just begun, and it is still unclear who will win.

And Melli's counterattack naturally has to start with this Madrid derby.

"In the Champions League match in the middle of this week, both Hu and Melli scored goals in the game. But obviously Melli is in better shape because he scored against Paris Eger Twice, and Hu only scored one goal. Of course, from a viewing point of view, one of Hu's goals is worth two of Melli's goals, but now, whether on the Champions League scorer list or the league scorer list, It was Meili who ranked ahead of Hu..."

The commentary box was as lively as the media box, and commentators from all over the world were using their own languages ​​to introduce some aspects of the game to the audience in front of the TV.

He Feng and Yan Kang also came to the scene this time.

This is Hu Lai's first Madrid derby after winning the Ballon d'Or. The first direct conversation between him and Melly on the court is of great significance.

Of course they have to come to the scene to commentate to show their "respect" for the game.

"... In terms of recent status, Hu Lai is indeed not as good as Melli. After all, Hu Lai has only scored one goal in the last two games. His scoring record in 40 consecutive games in the league has also been ended. And Melli has scored in the last two games. He scored four goals and scored twice in a row. But I am not very worried about Hu Lai's condition. As we all know, Hu Lai is a player with a big heart. The more important the game, the better he performs. So I think today's game is definitely not good. It will be Melly's 'one-man show'."

"Regardless of the final result of this game, we all hope that both teams and two people can show their best form in the game. Just like last season's Champions League final, we will dedicate a classic to fans all over the world. Contest……"

"Then another kick-off from the center circle and a direct goal?" He Feng asked back.

Then both of them laughed at the same time.

When the big screen at the scene showed the players of both teams gathering in the tunnel, huge cheers sounded in the Pirates Park stadium, and fans of both teams were cheering for their teams.

The Chinese fans in front of the TV were also in high spirits.

As the highlight of this round of La Liga, this game is scheduled for the last game, at 10pm local time in Madrid and 4am the next morning in China.

This game time is very unfriendly to Chinese fans. If the Chinese market is to be taken care of, it should be placed at 8pm domestic time in China. This is the golden time for Chinese people to watch TV.

But as a result, the kick-off time in Madrid is at two o'clock in the afternoon. With the Spaniard's schedule, it can be said to be lunch time.

The teams and fans on both sides are definitely not happy either.

What they value at this time is definitely not the influence in the Chinese market, they value the results of the competition more.

Playing football in the middle of the day will definitely not be as good as in the evening, which is not conducive to the performance of the players.

It’s okay to arrange other La Liga games at noon. For an important game like the Madrid derby, there can be no mistakes at all. It must be placed at the time period that Spaniards are most accustomed to.

Although the Chinese market is very important, the Spanish and European markets are equally important, so the game time must be based on the local prime time TV broadcast.

In addition, not only in East Asia, the Madrid derby also attracts attention in the Americas.

On the one hand, it is because the star player of the Madrid Kings, Melly Banega, is Argentinian. Countless Argentine fans support the Madrid Kings, just like Chinese fans support the Madrid Pirates.

On the other hand, Madrid Pirates, a team with a very strong working-class character, has a huge influence in Latin America where leftist ideas are prevalent.

Therefore, the Madrid Derby is even more popular in Latin America than the "El Clasico" between Madrid Kings and Catalonia United.

Ten o'clock in the evening in Madrid, Spain, is exactly within the range of four to six o'clock in the afternoon in Latin America. In restaurants, bars, and cafes in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Paraguay, Chile, Mexico and other countries, this time is also A large number of fans from both sides gathered.

After seeing the players from the two teams appear on the live TV screen, everyone cheered, just like the fans at the scene.

At this time, in every corner of the earth, people in different time and space are connected by a small ball and a game, which actually makes the whole world feel hot and cold.
