Chapter 48: The Gathering Storm
Chapter 48 Party Storm
On December 3, 1906, at the then Voit Bar, the most famous cafe in Turin, under the witness of 23 participants, the Turin Football Club was officially established.
"The Turin Football Club, located in the city of Turin, clearly rejects all political and religious factors, and the team's colors are crimson and white." This is the declaration at the beginning of the founding of the Bulls.
The Voit Bar back then has now been renamed Norman Bar. This bar, which once witnessed the rise and fall of the Crimson Legion for a century, has a very peculiar status in the history of Turin and is now a favorite place for Bulls fans.
In the last round of the league, Turin won a soul-stirring victory in the Piedmont derby. Although the derby opponent in the hearts of the Bulls fans was not Novara, but the old woman Juventus. However, the fans were very happy that the team could win such an important game.
To this end, the largest fan organization in Turin, the "Grandetorino", specially organized a celebration reception in Norman Bar, where the Turin team was established, and joined forces with some loyal Bulls fans to hold a celebration. This is also a regular event for fans to organize.
In that game, the Bulls fans not only bought all the seats on the court to ask for votes, but also spared no effort to cheer for the team when the team was facing difficulties. It can be said that the role of players and coaches of the Bulls was of course the most important reason for the players and coaches to achieve such a hard-won victory, but the fans also made great contributions.
Therefore, in order to thank the fans for their support for the team during the game, the Turin Club specially arranged some star players to represent the club to attend such a cocktail party and form a good interaction with their loyal fans.
Marco, Giosa, is the head of the "Great Bulls", the initiator and organizer of today's cocktail party. This middle-aged man in his forties has a beard and looks not astonishing. But he is the leader of the Bulls' largest fan organization. He is very famous in the circle of fans of the Turin team, and even some active Turin players may not be as good as him.
Giosa was born into a family of Bulls fans. Since his grandfather, his whole family has been loyal fans of the Turin team. Giosa's grandfather also witnessed the glory of the "Turin Gods Team" in the 1940s.
Giosa himself is not as lucky as his grandfather.
Since he followed his father to watch football when he was a child, he first went to the municipal stadium, then to the del Alp Stadium, and now to the Olympic Stadium in Turin. Time has passed and the stadium has been changed several times, but the Torino team has never regained its former glory.
Although the team once had a revival, it defeated the La Liga overlord Real Madrid in the 91-92 season and advanced to the UEFA Cup final, bringing great happiness to the fans. However, more often, fans have to endure the pain caused by the team's poor performance.
In 2005, Turin fans suffered the biggest pain ever. That year, Turin finally qualified for the Serie A through the play-offs. However, the team suffered a significant deterioration in the club's finances due to the former chairman's black gold behavior, and even had to be disbanded by the professional league. All players and coaches were directly terminated!
In an instant, the training camp of Turin was empty, and almost all the players chose to escape, except for the Bulls' substitute goalkeeper Alberto and Fontana, the away player who was warmly welcomed by fans when entering the derby game.
However, despite such hardships, the fans of Turin have never given up on the team. They stood shoulder to shoulder, holding hands and spent those extremely difficult years together.
This is the cuteness of the fans!
They will never choose to carry you because you have no money, no brilliant stars, and no dazzling achievements. As long as you work hard and work hard, they will stand firmly behind you, cheer for you, and be the most solid backing for you!
Giosa and the fan organization under his leadership are undoubtedly the most determined group of fans.
In the lounge, Giosa sat on the sofa tiredly, closing his eyes to rest. He felt a little tired when organizing such a large-scale event. Sitting next to him was his deputy Antonio and Ferrante. Compared with Giosa's unkempt appearance, 35-year-old Ferrante always had a straight suit and a full gentlemanly temperament.
"Antonio, when will the players sent by the club come?" Giosa said with her eyes closed.
Since professional players need to avoid drinking alcoholic beverages as much as possible, when attending similar cocktails, they only attend midway to help fans, and leave after having some communication with fans, and will not attend the cocktails throughout the whole process.
Ferrant raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It should be almost here. I heard that the players sent by the club this time are all heavyweights. One is our captain Bianchi; the other is the new star that emerged this season, Chu!"
"Is that?" Giosa opened her eyes, and her eyes were obviously filled with excitement. "Is it that Chinese goalkeeper? He can be said to be our biggest discovery this season! I really didn't expect that Petrachi was so sensible and signed such a magical player for us. No wonder he gave up signing Rubinho. Even my youngest daughter, Sylvia, who has never liked to watch football, fell in love with this magical player!"
Bianchi's attendance did not surprise Giosa. Because, before that, the captain had participated in fan events like this many times. He just didn't expect that Chu would be qualified to represent the team so quickly, which shows that everyone has unanimously recognized this young boy within the club.
"Haha, Marco, then you have to be careful. Be careful of that magical oriental boy and take your little princess away!" Ferrant made a joke of big brother without losing his humor.
Giosa curled her lips, "As a daughter, she always wants to get married. If she really marry Chu, it will at least continue the tradition of our family. I am not a stubborn person, like Gian Mario, and the boring 'pride of white people'."
At this moment, the door of the lounge was suddenly knocked open with force. Immediately, a burly man as strong as a bear walked in, holding a young Eastern-style girl. Compared with the burly man, the girl's thin figure was like a kitten, and her pitiful appearance was even more pleasing.
"Gian Mario, what are you doing?" Gian Mario frowned, looking a little dissatisfied.
"Hmph!" Gian Mario, Benedti threw the woman on the sofa at the door, pointed at her nose, and said, "You ask her what good things she has done!"
The girl sniffed, rubbing her swollen wrists constantly, and ignored him.
Seeing her ignoring her, Benedti was furious and rolled up her sleeves and wanted to beat her up.
Seeing this, Ferrant quickly pulled him to his side, "Why are you angry with a child, Ji'an!"
Gian is Benedti's nickname, and only those close to him call him that. Seeing Ferrant stopping him, Benedti had to give up the idea of beating her in disappointment.
"Boss, I figured out what you asked me to investigate some time ago. Our website was hacked by her!" Benedti pointed at the young woman.
"Really?" Giosa was a little disbelief. He could not associate the petite and cute woman in front of him with the identity of a hacker. Moreover, in his impression, he had never offended such a woman.
"Of course it's true. With the help of my friend Gomis, I finally caught her with the help of a private detective! And, she admitted it herself!"
Benedti pointed at the woman and said angrily.
"Isn't it just a joke? As for such a big fanfare!" the woman whispered disapprovingly.
"Just? You combined our team logo and toilet into one picture. Is this a joke? You loaded the damn Juventus song into our homepage. Is this a joke? You wrote the articles that slandered us on our homepage. Is this a joke? I'm so angry that I'm going to kill you, the yellow monkey!"
Benedti, who was irritable, became more and more angry as he spoke. He swung his thick arm and punched the woman. Seeing the waving iron fist, the girl was stunned and forgot to dodge for a while.
As Benedti approached the woman while talking, it was now a sudden incident. This time, even Ferrant couldn't stop him.
Seeing that his huge fist was about to fall on the girl, suddenly, a black shadow rushed in outside the door.
"Bang!"
A huge force came, and Chu Jiang couldn't help but retreat and fell on the sofa. Despite making some preparations temporarily, the part where the fist was blocked with both hands was still a little painful.
"What a great brute force!" Chu Jiang couldn't help but think in surprise.
"However, it seems soft behind you, and it feels pretty good..." Chu Jiang didn't think about it for a moment.
"You are so heavy, you're crushing me to death!" The girl blushed and used all her strength to push Chu Jiang away from her body.
"Chu, are you okay?" Bianqi hurriedly ran in.
They were walking towards the lounge just now, and they just heard Benedti yelling "Yellow-skinned Monkey", and then saw him waving his fists to rush towards a girl. Seeing this situation, Chu Jiang, who was also a "Yellow-skinned Monkey", immediately rushed in, and even Bianqi couldn't catch up.
"I'm fine." Chu Jiang rubbed his arms angrily.
"However, this gentleman needs an explanation for me." Chu Jiang looked at Benedti without any weakness, "Why should he call us Orientals 'yellow monkey'!"
Although he was in the other party's territory and even though his opponent had been stronger than him several times, the young and energetic Chu Jiang did not give in at all and stared at Benedti in a tit-for-tat way.
