Chapter 45: Signing with Adidas

The press conference after the game was very lively, and almost all the reporters from the major sports media stationed in Shenzhen came to the scene. Although the press conference has not yet begun, the reporters have begun to discuss www.biquge.info there are two topics of discussion, one is the performance of the fat man in this game, and the other is Pang Hao's future endorsement fee and the company will win the first place and finally sign the fat man.

Coach Tuchel was very satisfied to see so many journalists on the scene. Dortmund's visit to China this time can be said to have gained a lot. not only got a high appearance fee, but also signed a lot of sponsors, and the most important thing is that Dortmund has earned enough popularity in China this time. In the past, Bayern Munich of the Bundesliga was the most popular in China and supported the most fans, but coach Tuchel believes that after these two games, Dortmund's popularity in China will increase significantly, and it may only be a matter of time before they surpass Bayern, the biggest reason is that Dortmund has Chinese player Pang Hao in the team.

At this moment, the fat man was searching for the familiar figure in the crowd, but unfortunately he found nothing in the end. Emma seems to have left China, and the purpose of her visit to China is to cover Manchester United, and with Manchester United gone, Emma should also return to China. The fat man was a little depressed.

The subsequent press conference went very smoothly, when a reporter asked Tuchel to comment on the fat man's performance, Tuchel's coach did not hesitate to praise the fat man, giving the fat man a high evaluation, which caused many reporters on the scene to exclaim, how can even the always strict German coach speak so well.

The fat man also turned his head to look at Coach Tuchel from time to time, wondering if Coach Tuchel was telling the truth, but Coach Tuchel always looked as usual and did not show the slightest hint of embarrassment. It doesn't look like Coach Tuchel is telling a lie, he does recognise his brother's quality. The fat man thought to himself, "But it's still the same sentence, 'Always be the best version of yourself,' and don't worry about anything else." ’

However, just because the fat man ignored it doesn't mean that the reporters ignored it. After all, joining Dortmund and playing in the main position at Dortmund are completely different concepts. After the last game, the Tuchel coach's ambiguous answer was very unsatisfactory to reporters, and there was also a lot of debate on the Internet about the future of the fat man at Borussia Dortmund, and this time some reporters decided to get this into the light.

"Coach Tuchel, is Pang Hao's performance in this game worthy of Dortmund's position as the main striker?" The Sohu reporter asked.

Hearing a reporter ask this question, the fat man looked at the reporter who asked the question. Hey, it's the same reporter who asked a similar question last time, and this reporter is really persistent, and he has to get this question to the bottom line. The fat man doesn't care so much about whether he is the main force or a substitute in the team now. The fat man is more interested in his own performance and the statistics he has played on the court.

Coach Tuchel also noticed the reporter, the same reporter who embarrassed him a little in the last press conference, but Tuchel coach does not plan to avoid it this time, he has to answer it head-on.

"If Pang keeps this form, he will be the team's main striker!" Coach Tuchel replied in the affirmative.

Wow! Many reporters exclaimed, apparently not expecting Coach Tuchel to answer the question head-on. You must know that in the last game, when coach Tuchel answered this kind of question, he often talked about him left and right, and finally fooled the reporter with ambiguous words, and did not tell the truth at all, why is it so refreshing this time!

"Will Pang Hao start the new season? Will Borussia Dortmund switch to a two-striker strategy this season because of Pang Hao? The Sohu reporter continued to ask questions, and the questions were exactly the same as last time.

"Pang will start, I will give him a chance, but whether he can start all the time depends on his form. In my team, good form is always a prerequisite for starting or not; As for whether Borussia Dortmund will play a two-striker strategy in the new season, I would say what would you do if you were the manager of the team and you had two very good strikers at your disposal? Tuchel said with a smile.

The fat man listened to Coach Tuchel's answer and felt that it was no different from the last answer, the content did not change much, but the rhetoric was changed. The only thing that makes the fat man feel different is that the attitude shown by Coach Tuchel is much more amiable than last time.

Journalists have also felt the change in Tuchel's attitude, and the coach's answer was significantly more positive than last time, which has made the reporters satisfied. In fact, the reporters asked this just to understand the attitude of coach Tuchel towards fat people. There have been too many failures of Chinese players playing overseas, and journalists have reason to believe that as long as the fat man can be approved by Tuchel's coach, then the fat man's life at Dortmund will definitely not be much worse.

Seeing Coach Tuchel so cooperative, the reporters asked a lot of questions one after another. There are not only about Pang Hao, but also a lot about Dortmund club, obviously the reporters are ready to introduce the recent situation of Dortmund club to domestic fans, after all, with the outbreak of fat people, fans will definitely burst out of unprecedented enthusiasm for Dortmund club. There is a saying that "one person achieves the Tao and the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", the fat man is on fire, and the Dortmund club will definitely follow the fire.

It was only after getting enough news from Coach Tuchel that reporters took aim at the fat man. The fat man is in a very good mood today, he answers all questions, and he is very cooperative.

However, the reporters not only asked questions about the competition, but also about the fat man's donations.

"Pang Hao, I heard that some companies want to cooperate with you to endorse things, is it true? In addition, there is news on the Internet that you are ready to donate all the income from this endorsement to the Hope Project, is the news true? The reporter of Sports Weekly asked.

"Both things are true." The fat man replied truthfully, "The first thing is that I have already handed it over to my team to operate, and the second thing is that I decided personally, so both of these things are true." ”

After confirming these two things from the fat man, the reporters all cast admiring glances at the fat man. After all, the fat man knows how to do public welfare at a young age, which is still very commendable.

"Pang Hao, has the company you want to cooperate with have been decided? What is the approximate contract amount? The Sports Weekly reporter continued to ask.

"I've already received a few offers from my team, but the final signing and the amount have not yet been confirmed, and I hope to settle this matter as soon as possible because I will be returning to Germany with the team soon." The fat man replied.

"Pong, you're doing something very meaningful right now, I can give you three days off and allow you to go back to Germany to join the team after you've dealt with this matter." Coach Tuchel interjected suddenly.

'Thank you for your understanding, Coach Tuchel!' The fat man said gratefully.

Seeing Coach Tuchel so reasonable, reporters couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Coach Tuchel. In fact, in Europe, footballers are involved in a lot of public welfare activities, and coach Tuchel is very supportive of this kind of thing.

Then the fat man told the reporter the phone number of Chen Yuanyuan and Wang Keke, and claimed that the two people were his help, and the reporters could call them if they wanted to know the latest progress of the matter.

This concludes Borussia Dortmund's press conference tonight, and the following will be Manchester City's post-match press conference.

However, Pep Guardiola did not arrive on time for the press conference, but was 10 minutes later than scheduled. The Spaniard was depressed, both because of the loss and because he had to deal with a British journalist he hated. After taking charge of Manchester City, Guardiola has seen the difficulties of the British media. It's good to say that the game went well, but once the team didn't play well, the British media immediately criticized him. In the first warm-up game, he lost to Bayern Munich by a small goal, and the British media hacked him for several days, saying that he was not suitable for English football at all, saying that he was only suitable for coaching strong teams, and he was not optimistic about him anyway.

Although this game was played in China, due to the loss, Guardiola estimated that the British media would still not let him go, so Guardiola especially did not want to come to the press conference, and was even more afraid of meeting British reporters.

Sure enough, as soon as Guardiola walked into the press briefing room, the British reporter, who had been silent before, suddenly came to his senses and began to ask Guardiola questions. Asked when Pep Guardiola would be able to bring his first win to Manchester City fans, Guardiola replied that he would need time to adapt and would not care about the results of the warm-up matches. This kind of answer was not what was asked, which made the British journalist very angry. After only a while, the smell of gunpowder on both sides came out, fortunately this is China, otherwise the two sides would have to quarrel.

Domestic sports reporters wanted to find some news from Pep Guardiola, but after briefly answering a few questions from British journalists, Guardiola hurriedly left the press conference, so that domestic reporters didn't have time to ask questions.

Domestic reporters had no choice but to focus on reporting Dortmund news, especially about fat people, which was the focus of the report. Soon news reports about the match appeared in major sports newspapers and portals. Because the fat man wants to donate the endorsement income of this season to the Hope Project, some non-sports newspapers also reported the fat man's incident. The fat man appeared in various non-sports newspapers in China almost overnight, although it was not the front page headline, but it also caused a very wide impact, and at this moment the fat man really entered thousands of households.

After the match against Manchester City on July 28, Dortmund flew out of China the next day. The fat man did not leave because coach Tuchel gave the fat man three days off to deal with endorsements.

The fat man also flew back to Beijing early the next morning, joined Chen Yuanyuan and Wang Keke, and made every effort to deal with the endorsement. Although the fat man also participated in it, he basically didn't help much, mainly because the two beauties were operating, Chen Yuanyuan and Wang Keke were busy from morning to night, and kept talking to the cooperative company, fighting for two days in a row, and finally established the final partner and contract amount at noon on July 30.

In the end, Adidas (China) successfully signed Fat Man at a price of 5 million euros, and the contract lasted for two years and was a 1+1 model. The first year is a fixed amount, the second year is a common choice for both parties, the fat man has the right to match, Adidas has the right to preferentially match the renewal, if the fat man does not match, the second year will be executed according to the amount of the first year.

There are two main reasons for Adidas to sign Fatman, one is that Adidas is strongly blocked by Nike in China, and its sales growth is slow, and it urgently needs to expand its influence through celebrity endorsements; The second is that the fat man now has huge popularity in China, and the fat man now plays for Dortmund in Germany, which is the territory of Adidas. Based on the above two points, Adidas finally decided to sign the fat man.

According to the requirements of the contract, Adidas will tailor professional equipment such as sneakers and sportswear for the fat man, and the fat man is required to wear sports clothes for Adidas in the future.

In the afternoon of the same day, the two sides completed the signing under the witness of major media, and then the fat man transferred the check to the person in charge of the Hope Project, so that the fat man's endorsement finally came to an end.

After the signing ended, the fat man left and did not give an interview to the media. Because this is Chen Yuanyuan's idea, the fat man is too popular now, if he makes a high profile in the matter of donations, it is a bit too much, and finally the fat man accepts Chen Damei's opinion.
