Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

In 1926, the football game was still in a relatively primitive stage. British football clubs were still in the stage of trying to become professional, not to mention other countries.

Few football clubs in Europe are profitable, and ticket prices are pitifully low, and sometimes even free of charge to attract spectators to the venue.

As for commercial development, there are almost no European football clubs, and they almost entirely rely on the membership fees paid by members to survive, and those membership fees are actually not much.

For example, the Huddersfield Town football team just won the English Football League championship last year. Although the city of Huddersfield is the center of the British machinery industry, it has less than 150,000 people until the 21st century. Even if these 150,000 people are

How much membership fees do members of Huddersfield Town Football Club receive?

The friendly match between Ziwei Public School and Locke Middle School, although they are only two middle schools, in Remi's view, commercial development is already quite mature.

Not only do the two teams have sponsors, but even this game is sponsored by businesses, and there are many sponsors. Remy counted the billboards around the stadium and found that at least ten companies sponsored this game.

Contest.

"The positions of these billboards can be purchased. Each billboard costs about one hundred rand, which is not much money, but it is enough to organize this game. Ziwei Public School and Locke Secondary School organized a friendly match. Not only will they not lose money, but they will also

It will still make money, and I will be able to sell tickets in two years if this continues. By then, the influence will continue to expand." Malan is full of expectations for the friendly match, not the match itself, but this model.

Remy doesn't say anything. Everything in southern Africa is good, but there are too many commercial elements and a slight smell of copper.

After all, schools are not businesses. Adding too many commercial factors changes the nature of friendly matches.

Of course, for the company and the two schools, this is also about getting what they need. What the company needs is profit, what the school needs is influence, and the audience is very cooperative and willing to pay, which makes Remy very envious.

So the "smell of copper" probably means envy and jealousy.

It hasn't risen to the level of hate yet.

To learn, you must look at this game with a learning attitude——

Thinking of this, Remy immediately accepted the billboard on the sidelines.

This thing is not difficult and can be replicated in European football matches.

Before the game started, the band on the sidelines played "God Save the Queen" and the whole audience stood up and sang.

The song "God Save the Queen" is now the national anthem of the Commonwealth. Not only the Commonwealth, but at least a dozen countries around the world have rewritten the lyrics of the song "God Save the Queen" as their national anthem. The United States has adopted "God Save the Queen"

It was used as the national anthem or the second national anthem of the country; Russia also began to use the tune of "God Save the King" as its national anthem in 1815, and later it was replaced by "God Save the Tsar" in 1833.

The Second German Reich also adopted the melody and lyrics as its national anthem.

Southern Africa also has two versions of the national anthem. In addition to "God Save the Queen", the other national anthem is "March of the Expeditionary Force". This song was composed by a journalist who accompanied the army during the World War after participating in the Battle of the Dardanelles.

It was composed and became very popular after being played on the radio, and it became the second national anthem of southern Africa.

After the national anthem ended, the game officially started. The referee tossed a coin to choose the side. Locke Middle School won and chose the side facing away from the sun to attack.

At this time, Remy was surprised to find that the offense and defense of both teams were very organized. The three lines were kept compact. The players were very skilled in passing, receiving and running. Several players had quite good footwork.

Impress Remy.

In the third minute of the game, Locke Middle School launched an attack. Although he was not tall, but his footwork was very skillful, No. 8 passed a long pass. The tall but extremely fast forward No. 9 suddenly appeared in front of the goal, rushing ahead of the defensive players.

He scored the ball with one kick before he arrived, and the whole audience burst into cheers.

To Remy's relief, the fans of Locke Middle School were overjoyed, while the fans of Ziwei School were disappointed, but they still cheered for the players on the field in a rhythmic manner, without any insults or other crazy behaviors.

It can be seen that Locke Middle School is indeed well prepared.

After withstanding Ziwei Public School's counterattack, Locke Middle School's No. 8 player ran wildly with the ball again. After passing four Ziwei Public School defensive players in the middle, he passed Ziwei Public School again with a juggling move.

The goalkeeper sent the ball into the net again.

"What's the name of this little guy? He can even enter the adult team and play professional games!" Remy's slap turned red. The atmosphere in the stadium was so lively that Remy had to yell in Malan's ear.

"Impossible, this little guy is the son of Lord Rhodesia. Even if he doesn't inherit the title of Lord Rhodesia, he still has a huge fortune waiting for him to inherit it-" Malan looked regretful, his family really has a lot of money.

Remy had to think for a while before he knew who Lord Rhodesia Malan was talking about.

Xiaosi was sitting next to him, showing off to Rock at the moment.

"How is it? My little Cecil is doing well, isn't she? Judy is already 15 years old. Think about it, I will love her as much as I do my daughter." It's not enough for Xiaosi to marry Roya to Arthur, he also wants to kiss her

More kisses.

"Don't even think about it!" Rock refused directly. His little cabbage was already being taken care of by pigs before he was grown up. It was simply too much!

"Think about it, if Judy is willing to marry, I will give her the Rhodesia Company -" Stoudemire spent a lot of money, and the Rhodesia Company is one of the most profitable enterprises under Stoudemire's name.

After the spin-off of the South African Company, the Rhodesia Company was mainly engaged in the financial industry, and its capital accumulation reached hundreds of millions. Like Nyasaland Company and Rand Bank, it became the three major financial giants in southern Africa.

Nyasaland Company and Rand Bank are both industries under Roque's name. If Stoudemire really gives the Rhodesia Company to Judy, Roque will become the undisputed overlord of the financial industry in southern Africa.

"Not rare!" Rock dismissed it, but it's not like I didn't.

"Sir, my grandson and Judy are classmates——" Douglas also came to join in the fun, and there were so many people who were thinking about Xiao Baicai.

"You're not as good as your senior!" Roque was also crisp and clear, making people worry even when watching the ball.

At the end of the first half, Locke Middle School led 2 to 1. Ziwei School scored a goal before the end of the first half to maintain suspense in the second half.

The fans of the two teams didn't care about the score. Locke Middle School had the advantage, and Ziwei School still had a chance in the second half. There were cultural performances in the stadium, and the atmosphere was very joyful.

Fans from Ziwei Public School started running all over the field carrying flags again.

Not to be outdone, the fans of Locke Middle School kept making noise with loud noises.

The singer who was singing on the court was very depressed. Her voice was completely covered up by the cheers of the fans. It was really rude.

At the beginning of the second half, Ziwei Public School replaced three players at once, hoping that the new players could use their abundant physical strength to tear open the defense of Locke Middle School.

Locke Middle School had already taken precautions. After replacing two players, it adjusted the formation to 451 and happily launched a defensive counterattack. Only one player, No. 8, was left in the forward line to harass.

Ziwei Public School is very depressed. Their overall strength is not weaker than Locke Middle School, but they are passive because of the lack of players like No. 8 who can change the situation on the court. This is the role of stars.

"The level of these two teams is very high. It's unbelievable that they are actually two middle school teams." Remy was completely impressed. Such fierce competitions rarely occur in European club leagues.

"The overall level of campus football in Southern Africa is very high. Almost every school has a school team. The Football Association is considering setting up a university league as part of the Southern African Football League." Malan is proud. Don't underestimate the impact of campus football.

Strength, just like the rowing race between Oxford and Cambridge.

Oxford and Cambridge are the top universities in the UK. There are countless students graduating from Oxford and Cambridge every year, and those who are qualified to graduate from Oxford and Cambridge are undoubtedly the British elite. This is also the reason why Oxford and Cambridge rowing

The root cause of widespread concern.

Similar competitions include Harvard and Yale in the United States, which have the same extensive competition as Oxford and Cambridge. There are also rowing matches between Harvard and Yale every year, as well as rugby matches that are more popular among Americans. These matches

All are given meaning beyond the game.

As time went by, the competition on the field became more and more intense, and the players' movements became louder and louder. The coaches of both teams were restless on the sidelines, and the emotions of the audience were also affected. They were no longer harmonious, and the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.

Taking advantage of the home field advantage, Ziwei Public School scored two goals in a row, rewriting the score to 3-2.

Near the end of the game, No. 8 player from Locke Middle School, who performed well in the first half, broke into the penalty area of ​​Ziwei Public School. Two defenders from Ziwei Public School teamed up to attack, and No. 8 fell down in the penalty area of ​​Ziwei Public School.

The referee blew the whistle and awarded Locke School a penalty kick.

This was an obvious misjudgment. Xiaosi's son fell down on his own and was not tripped by the Ziwei School defender.

Immediately, all the defenders from Ziwei Public School surrounded the referee, hoping that the referee would change the penalty.

The referee was unmoved. Because of his perspective, he insisted that it was the defender from Ziwei School who tripped Stoudemire's son.

This is the best chance to equalize the score.

Stoudemire's son carried the ball to the penalty spot, and there were huge boos on the court.

Ziwei Public School doesn't care whether the No. 8 player is Stoudemire's son. The penalty kick near the end of the game is enough to make all the efforts of Ziwei Public School players go to waste.

Locke Middle School fans are also working hard to create noise. As long as the penalty kick is scored, Locke Middle School can escape death and a draw is an acceptable result.

The players of Ziwei Public School on the sidelines were in despair. They worked hard for 90 minutes, but had to accept this result.

As the entire audience watched, Stoudemire's son ran toward the ball in small steps, gathered strength, swung his legs, and exerted force——

Then he kicked the ball toward the stands!
