Volume 1 Portuguese Gamers Chapter 75 TV Controversy (Preface)
The auditorium is packed with seats, and there are countless anxious and expectant eyes.
Two rows of red sofas with backrests and more than ten camera positions.
The bright ceiling lights suddenly went out, and the LED screen on the stage that had been silent for a long time began to flicker.
A chasing light lit up from the ear curtain, and the blond TV host strode to the center with youthful steps.
"The powerful or the common people? Experts or the grassroots? Experts or laymen? I believe that all viewers watching this program hope to find the answer in their hearts in today's program."
"I am the host, Alice Latic. Next, I would like to invite my partner today, the former European Footballer and World Footballer - Luis Figo!"
When they heard this name, both the audience at the scene and those on TV and online couldn't sit still.
They informed the people around them of the news as quickly as possible.
For a time, the ratings of Portuguese National Television reached 70%, and even some TV stations that were broadcasting other programs also chose to broadcast it in real time.
It can be said that at this moment, almost all Portuguese people watched this program.
"Whether it's the powerful or the grassroots, I don't know much about these things. But as a former professional player, I still believe that football is a highly professional field. You can't just watch a few games and become a coach.
.”
Figo's words were straight to the point, and he fell into the expert camp as soon as he opened his mouth, which disappointed the majority of fans.
But he went on to say: "But don't forget, is Simon King a layman? In my opinion, I'm afraid not necessarily."
Alice said at the right time: "Why do you say that?"
Figo smiled and said: "Because this young man has a professional coaching certificate, which is enough to show that he is not a layman."
"But he has never played professional football. As far as I know, even Mourinho played in low-level leagues when he was young, and his father is also a very professional goalkeeper.
.”
"You are right Alice, I think this is also the issue that today's program wants to discuss. Mourinho has never played football, but he has been working next to famous coaches. And today's protagonist Simon King? He just
He’s just playing games, so... we’d better sit aside quietly and invite representatives from both sides of the debate to come out!”
Simple conversation, singing and speaking.
The audience immediately understood the identities of the two hosts. They neither supported experts nor laymen, they were just creating the atmosphere of the show.
But the audience's disappointment did not last long, because the first person to appear was none other than national actress Daniela Melchior.
As usual, this beautiful woman always dressed like the girl next door in formal occasions, which immediately attracted applause.
Behind her, there were two middle-aged men, Nuno, who was a truck driver, and Xianoke, who was a supermarket cashier.
Immediately afterwards, representatives from the expert camp were also invited out.
There are four people in total, namely:
Former football star Paul Futre.
Former vice-captain of the Portuguese national team - Dalba.
Noel, current professor of sociology at the University of Lisbon.
People's representative, middle school teacher - Kohler.
Since Simon King was not seen, noisy inquiries immediately came from the audience.
Alice smiled sweetly and opened her teeth lightly.
"Please be patient, Mr. Simon King will come out and express his views at the appropriate time."
After stabilizing the situation, Alice looked at Figo.
Figo immediately understood and said: "For this debate, the program team specially collected three questions on the Internet. The first one is, 'Is there any distinction between insiders and insiders in football?'"
Alice said: "Then let's go directly to the topic. First, let's invite Mr. Futrey from the expert camp to express his opinion."
As a former Portuguese football superstar, Futre has a high status in the hearts of middle-aged fans.
He greeted the audience with a smile and showed off his superstar style with every move he made.
"As a moderately successful winger, I think there are certainly insiders and outsiders in football. Otherwise, why would Cristiano Ronaldo be the World Footballer, but most people in the audience can only watch it in front of the TV?
Where’s the ball?”
After hearing this, the politicians sitting in the office of the Portuguese Football Association nodded slightly.
Nani, vice chairman of the Football Association and in charge of league affairs, clapped his hands and said: "Futre is right, and the example he gave is also very direct."
Lamela, another vice chairman in charge of referee affairs, said: "Futre's fan base is probably larger than Figo. With him speaking out for the profession, we will definitely win this debate."
Fernando Gomez, chairman of the Football Association, smiled and nodded, saying softly: "No matter who wins or loses, football will ultimately benefit."
"It makes sense. Mr. Chairman is thinking far-reaching!"
"That's true. Actually, we just want to give him some color!"
Gomez nodded and smiled again: "You guys remember, never mix personal feelings with work at any time."
On the other side, Porto head coach Sergio Conceicao was sitting at the home of Gil Vicente head coach Ricardo Sols.
Beside him, there were several other Super League head coaches who were also watching the live broadcast.
Upon hearing Futre's speech, Soles, who had been threatened by Clark, immediately flashed his eyes fiercely and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Futre, my old teammate, you are so great."
Conceição smiled and said: "No matter whether this Simon King has any ability or not, he is really famous now."
"Isn't it? It's so red!"
The speaker was Paul Biletou, the head coach of the Portimonense team.
He obviously wanted to please Conceição, and even his tone was full of flattery.
"Today's young people are really good at causing trouble, but they really shouldn't use football to get ahead. This is the most important thing to us!"
"That's right!"
"Yes!"
Several other coaches also shouted.
"In my opinion, this Simon King is definitely a clown trying to please others."
"Isn't it? I just don't know what the Football Association means now. I really don't understand why they won't investigate the transaction between Vesena and Aroka."
"That's right, that Armando, he was bad at football when he was young. I think he definitely took the money and sold the team and points. It's really shameful."
"Don't worry, everyone..."
