577 Overnight Fame(1/2)
() In Alexandre Dumas's novel "The Count of Monte Cristo", the place where the Count of Monte Cristo was imprisoned was the City of Ifo on the Island of Ifo. In fact, it was used as a prison for many political prisoners in history.
Many of France's heavyweight political prisoners were imprisoned here.
Ifuku Island.
Now it has become a tourist attraction.
The former prison for political prisoners has become a place where people rush to travel. People travel here with maps and rush to see what the prison was like back then...
All are novel.
Of course I’m not talking about Ifukushima.
Ile Ifo is located in Marseille, the second largest city in France and the largest commercial port.
There is a French giant here.
Marseille Club.
Speaking of which, their history is quite glorious. In French football, they are a very wealthy club. In history, they have won ten Ligue 1 championships and ten French Cup championships. Of course, they have also won the Champions League.
champion.
Unfortunately, the Marseille chairman's bribery scandal broke out and he went to jail.
The Champions League title was also deprived.
Marseille, which was domineering at the time, also left Marseille because of this incident. Deschamps and Desailly were the main players of that team...
That was more than ten years ago. Due to the blow, Marseille quickly declined. However, in recent years, Marseille has slowly begun to recover.
Of course, even if Marseille recovers, it will not become the focus of European football.
After the Bosman Act, the center of European football and world football has moved to La Liga, Serie A, and the Premier League.
Ligue 1 is in decline.
French Ligue 1 champion Lyon is now being ravaged by European giants in Europe.
This shows the current status of Ligue 1.
Even the Bundesliga, supported by giants like Bayern, is gradually being left behind by La Liga, Serie A, and the Premier League. Not to mention teams like Ligue 1.
Marseille has only slightly recovered its strength in Ligue 1, but is far from dominating Ligue 1. Therefore, it has not received the attention of the European media.
But today is different.
It is very rare for a group of reporters to appear around the Velodrome Stadium in Marseille. There are definitely a lot of people, at least sixty or seventy reporters. There are not only French reporters, but also British reporters and Italian reporters from afar.
etc.
Very lively.
After the Marseille boss was imprisoned, there was no such moment again.
Not to mention Marseille, even the current Ligue 1 champion Lyon does not have such treatment.
"Hey, here we come. That's Ribery."
I don't know who shouted something, and suddenly a lot of reporters ran over and surrounded Ribery.
Ribery was a little flustered.
Really panicked.
He had never seen so many reporters in his whole life. He thought carefully about recent events and found that he didn't seem to have done anything that interested reporters.
He looked at these reporters blankly.
It sounds like some of them speak English, some speak French, and some speak Italian. Of course, when asked about Ribery, they all use French.
"Ribery, do you have anything to say about coach Su Yun leaving Chelsea?"
"Do you feel honored that Coach Su Yun has chosen you?"
Ribery was baffled.
Su Yun?
Of course Ribery knows Su Yun. He is the most popular coach in European football after completing the Triple Crown in the past two seasons. There is no one in European football who does not know Su Yun.
It would be strange if someone didn't know Su Yun.
He is very familiar with Su Yun's reputation. He is the youngest coach to win the Champions League, the youngest coach to win the Triple Crown, and the first coach to complete consecutive Champions League titles.
If these names are placed there, everyone will be shocked.
Not to mention a young player like Ribery.
But what does he have to do with himself?
Ribery was a little confused.
I can't understand what these reporters are saying.
Su Yun leaving Chelsea had nothing to do with him. He was just surprised that Su Yun left Chelsea, because it turns out that the head coach of the Triple Crown winner was also fired.
That's all.
Why did these reporters come here to ask themselves this question?
There is no airtight wall in the world. Although there are various versions of Su Yun's departure, in the end everyone still found a point of conflict.
Ribery.
A nobody.
In the eyes of reporters, they cannot see the accumulation of contradictions. They cannot see that three feet of ice are not as cold as the sun. It is so tiring to write about these contradictions. It is better to find a direct point of conflict.
Franck Ribery, an unknown person, turned out to be a direct point of conflict for the Triple Crown coach to leave.
Accident.
What a surprise.
Who is Ribery?
Even in French football, he is not well-known. He is not even as famous as the young player Nasri in Marseille. Nasri is only 18 years old now, but he is already famous far and wide.
Of course, there are Ben Arfa and Benzema of Lyon, who are all rising talents in French football.
Not to mention talented players such as Sochaux's Mene and Rennes' Gourcuff.
As for Ribery?
Have you heard of it?
Only reporters from French football know this name. No other European football scouts know this person. Scouts from major European leagues are all focused on those talented players. As for Ribery?
Who is it?
So everyone is more curious.
What kind of person is worthy of Su Yun and Arneson's fight? In the end, it caused the Triple Crown coach to leave the club?
But no matter how you understand Ribery, he is just a nobody.
A year ago he was still in the French amateur league, and he had just started playing in Ligue 1 a year ago. And his performance in Metz was not that outstanding. If it weren't for Fernandez's support, Ribery wouldn't even be able to gain a foothold in Metz.
Later he transferred to Galatasaray and performed well.
But it’s just a Turkish league.
It is completely far away from the mainstream leagues.
Such a player fell into Su Yun's eyes?
Reporter is confused?
Could it be that Su Yun made a mistake? Arnesen's report showed that Ribery was a person with little development prospects. Su Yun obviously thought that Ribery was a potential star.
Ribery is more confused?
He has never had any contact with Su Yun. He doesn’t know what the reporter said. It seems that Su Yun’s departure from Chelsea has anything to do with him.
He was baffled.
Later, with the help of club security, Ribery escaped from the siege of reporters.
Ribery kept wiping sweat.
What happened?
He only realized how powerful reporters are today.
Fernandez looked at the reporter and shook his head. He remembered the young coach he saw a year ago. He was interested in Ribery at the time, but unexpectedly he fell out with the club because of this matter.
I don’t know whose misfortune it is.
But he was the only one who understood Su Yun's persistence.
Because Fernandez knew that Su Yun saw a bright future in Ribery just like he did. He saw strengths in him that others had not discovered.
But no matter what, Ribery is popular.
