Chapter 75 Invitation to Charity Tournament

Ranking one to reach sixth is a very good result, but it is still far from the goal of Glory and Benitez.

The Premier League is different from other leagues. Other leagues are qualified for European competition next season in sixth place, but the Premier League must be in the top five. Because the Premier League has one more cup match than the leagues in other countries.

Other countries have one cup match, but two cup matches in the Premier League, one is the FA Cup, which is similar to the FA Cup, the same as the German Cup, the Italian Cup, and the Spanish Cup.

The champion of this cup can qualify for the League Cup next season.

But there is another game in English football, which is the English League Cup, where the champions of this game can also participate in the League Cup. To be fair, there is one less spot in the Premier League in European competitions.

※※※

Rongguang doesn't train on the football field outside his home every night. In addition to accompanying his children, he occasionally goes online at home.

Although he lives in the UK, he is not interested in British news at all, nor does he pay attention to news in European football. He reads more domestic news.

While browsing the news, he suddenly remembered something and asked Debola: "How is the progress of the school we donated to build in Sichuan?"

He was talking about what happened last summer.

Last summer, he was not in China because of his injuries in Brazil, but an earthquake that shocked the world occurred in the western part of his motherland.

The magnitude 8 earthquake caused heavy losses to Sichuan in western China.

At that time, Rongguangren was not in China, but he was also very concerned about the earthquake. He felt a significant shock in his hometown in the northwest of China's inland China, so his feelings became even deeper.

After the earthquake, in addition to donating 10 million yuan at the first time, he later donated a school in Beichuan, Mianyang, one of the severely affected areas of the earthquake.

At that time, Chinese media reported it extensively for a while, but Rongguang himself did not take it seriously. For him, donating to build a school was normal and not worthy of extensive reporting.

After donating the school, Rongguang himself ignored it. He handed over all the trivial matters to Debola and asked Debola to help him stare. He just reported the progress to him from time to time.

When he saw news about the reconstruction of earthquake-stricken areas in China today, he remembered. The team had poor performance before, and he was busy with training. All his thoughts were on how to get the team out of difficulties, so he naturally didn't care about the school's affairs.

"The project progress is quite smooth..." Debola got up and went to her computer to find relevant information to report to Rongguang.

But after just half of the report, he was interrupted by the phone.

The ringtone rang out Debola's cell phone.

Debola left the living room and went to answer the phone.

After a while, she came back and the phone was finished: "It was Park Ji-sung's agent's phone number. He said that Park Ji-sung will call you later and communicate with me first."

"Huh?" Rongguang was very strange. What does Park Ji-sung's agent have to do with him? Why did he call Debola and say he wanted to find him? What's wrong with me?

A few minutes later, Rongguang's phone rang, and the unfamiliar number was really Park Ji-sung when he answered it. Rongguang had no Park Ji-sung's phone number before.

The two started to communicate in English with their respective accents.

Although the two are their own, and the two teams they play for are still mortal enemies in the same city, the players' personal concerns will not be affected by the team's relationship.

Park Ji-sung told Rongguang on the phone that he planned to organize a charity competition and hoped to invite Rongguang to participate.

The specific form is that Park Ji-sung is responsible for one team, Rongguang leads another team, and two teams will play a game. All ticket revenue from the game will be donated to charity projects...

As for why we look for Rongguang, not others, it is because Park Ji-sung thinks that first of all, we are Asians, so it is easier to talk to. Secondly, they had a fight in the Champions League semi-finals two seasons ago. In such a boring debate about who is the real Asian football king, Rongguang also spoke for himself, and the two of them had some friendship.

Rongguang did not agree immediately, but told Park Ji-sung that he needed to consider it and replied to him after he had considered it.

After hanging up the phone, he kept silent about the content of the phone with Park Ji-sung, but asked Debola to continue to study about the progress of the school's project.

It was not until Debola finished reading that he suddenly asked Debola: "It's almost a year, right?"

Debola certainly understood what he meant, so she nodded and said, "Yes, it's more than a month to be a year."

"One year..." Rongguang rubbed his chin and murmured suddenly, "Just just now Park Ji-sung told me that he wanted to organize a charity competition, but I have an idea now..."

Debola immediately understood what Rongguang’s idea was: “Do you want to hold a charity competition related to the Wenchuan earthquake?”

Rongguang nodded: "I want the whole of Europe to pay attention to this..."

"It's pretty good, I support it." Debola made a statement.

"Then I'll call Park Ji-sung back, tell him my opinion, and see what he thinks."

After saying that, Rongguang called Park Ji-sung.

On the phone, he told Park Ji-sung his opinion.

The charity competition held for the post-disaster reconstruction of the Wenchuan earthquake, all the ticket revenue of the competition was donated to the charity fund established in the name of glory to support the post-disaster reconstruction work in the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken areas in China, with a special amount.

At the same time, the venue of this game is different from Park Ji-sung's original idea. At the beginning, Park Ji-sung planned to arrange the game in South Korea, but now it is set in Europe, because this can attract more people's attention and make more people pay attention to the post-construction of the Wenchuan earthquake. This is the theme of this charity competition.

After hearing Rong Guang's opinion, Park Ji-sung also expressed support: "I have no objection. Rong Jun, I am very moved to you if you have such an idea. I will definitely support it with all my strength. Now, let's find some people to form teammates to play a game, right?"

"Okay, no problem."

Rongguang agreed.

At the same time, the two agreed to let the agents of the two people communicate with each other about the specific arrangements for the charity competition.

After hearing Rong Guang's retelling, Debola nodded and took over the job: "Okay, I will keep in touch with his agent."

"But, you have to find your teammates..." Rongguang rubbed his chin. "Who should I look for?"

He really has no idea at all now.

"Have you heard of 'Zidane Friends Team and 'Ronaldo Friends Team,' asked Deborah.

Rongguang shook his head a little confused - he was not interested in these common sense things.

Debola was not surprised that Rongguang didn't know these, so she began to explain the origin of these two teams to Rongguang. Simply put, in order to help the United Nations Development Program fight poverty together, these two superstars in the world football at that time organized a charity competition together. The two formed a team respectively, and the participants were all considered their friends, so they named a friend team.

This charity match has become a tradition. It will be played at the end of the year every year. Those participating include active players, retired players, and some stars who are not players.

The main purpose is to rely on the influence of these stars to attract the attention of the public and media, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting charity.

At the same time, all the revenue from the game will be donated to a charity.

"So the more famous the players are, the more influence they have?" Rong Guang immediately grabbed the focus of Debola's endless talk.

"Yes, this kind of star charity competition mainly involves the stars playing their role. Everyone actually doesn't care at all about how they play the game." Debola said.

"So that's it..." Rong Guang thought.

After Debola explained to him, she went to work on her own affairs.

Rongguang continued to sit on the sofa, holding his cell phone in his hand, and he began to look through the contacts on his mobile phone address book.

He doesn't have many contacts because he is not the kind of person who likes to make friends all over the world, nor does he like to engage in social activities, and goes to celebrity dinners when he has nothing to do.

So his address book is mainly composed of his teammates, now, or the past.

The first thing he thought of was his best friend Lucas Sutton.

This player who is already the main striker of the Brazilian national team and wears the No. 9 jersey in the Brazilian national team should have a considerable influence in the football world today.

So he called Lucas.

When Lucas heard that Rongguang was looking for him to play a charity game, he agreed without saying a word: "No problem, when?"

"Uh, the specific time has not been determined yet, I'll tell you first..."

"Okay, let me know when you have determined the specific game time. I will push you even if there is something to do." As the best friend of Glory, Lucas is loyal enough, and that is completely unspeakable.

After Rongguang hung up the phone, he found a piece of white paper and a pen, and wrote down Lucas Sutton's name on the paper.

Next, he continued to study the address book.

Since Debola has said that it doesn’t matter how you play the game itself, everyone mainly comes to see the stars, so the first thing he looks at is fame.

If you want to talk about the most famous player in football now... Rongguang saw Kaka's name on his mobile address book.

He curled his lips.

I don't want this person to come to my friends team

Then he drew down and saw Messi's name.

This small Argentine man is in the limelight now...

After thinking about it, Rongguang called Messi.

Messi was a little surprised that Rong Guang suddenly called him for this, but after he realized that he also agreed to Rong Guang: "I have no problem, Rong. You have confirmed your time and notify me."
