Media journalism is a booster of fame.

In the public opinion of the outside media, Zhen Shaolong's fame seems to be even louder, and any of his actions will become media news, for example, when he went out to the club the next morning, he was chased by reporters and continuously filmed, and the report was that he was 'diligent exercise' and 'a model of diligence for professional players'.

But......

On that day, he didn't want to go out in an ordinary car, so he simply exercised early and ran to the club.

Regardless, it's certainly a good thing to become more famous.

For celebrities in any field, fame often represents income.

Zhen Shaolong soon received a new income - a special sponsorship from Adidas.

Adidas launched a sportswear and sneakers named after 'Zhen Shaolong', the world's top designer works are naturally different, jerseys, sneakers in order to reflect Chinese characteristics, but also specially added dragon patterns, the overall feeling is low-key, luxury, sportswear can reflect luxury is not easy, natural sportswear, sneakers are also very luxurious, including a baseball cap-like hat, a set of up to 420 pounds.

This price is a bit expensive for sportswear.

Of course.

How Adidas goes to price it has nothing to do with Zhen Shaolong, Adidas's publicity is related to him, in addition to taking relevant photos and advertisements, Adidas also decided to increase publicity investment, so that Zhen Shaolong appeared in the public eye in full clothes before and after the game with Liverpool, and the time before and after the game was more than ten minutes.

This is an additional requirement.

Adidas paid $800,000 for the ten-minute debut.

800,000 US dollars, ten minutes, an average of 80,000 US dollars per minute, and more than 1,300 US dollars per second of appearance, such a rapid income made Zhen Shaolong unable to find a reason to refuse, and he decisively agreed to Adidas' additional sponsorship.

Adidas is not giving money for nothing, they decided to add additional sponsorship, one is that Zhen Shaolong's recent fame is too hot, the whole world seems to be talking about him, in addition, the game between Newcastle United and Liverpool is very important, and even said that it can determine the ownership of the Premier League championship this season, which will attract the attention of the whole world, whether it is before or after the game, Zhen Shaolong will be reported by the world as long as he appears, and his picture will appear on various TV stations.

This is the best opportunity to get the word out.

On the other hand, promotional photos, advertisements, etc., will not be too effective, because everyone knows that it is something that is deliberately taken, and few people will take the initiative to see the advertisement.

After playing the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, Newcastle United will face two league games, the first against Portsmouth and the second against league rivals Liverpool.

Liverpool is the second, and it's still a little early.

Newcastle United first play Portsmouth, away from home, at Portsmouth Fratton Park in Hampton, England, where they play against home team Portsmouth.

It's really a big war!

Portsmouth, who are at risk of relegation, will not miss any chance to pick up points, even against Newcastle United, they are quite aggressive, and the defense is even more airtight, and their goal is to get a point.

It's also a headache for Newcastle United.

Zhen Shaolong had a headache more than any of his teammates, he was stared at very hard in front, it was difficult to receive the ball outside the penalty area, and he could only keep running and waiting for opportunities, but he still helped the team to complete the goal, in the 59th minute of the game, after receiving Milner's overhead pass, he turned his back to the goal and successfully sent the ball into the Portsmouth goal.

It was the only goal of the game.

In the 70th minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong was replaced by head coach Keegan.

At that time, it was only a one-goal lead, but Keegan was worried about Zhen Shaolong's physical condition, because the game with Liverpool was about to be played, so Zhen Shaolong could rest more or more, but fortunately, Portsmouth failed to score in the remaining time.

Zhen Shaolong scored the only goal of the game, which was a very good performance in theory, but after the game, many media believed that his performance had declined, and there was no way to compare it with Arsenal's state.

This argument has attracted widespread follow-up.

Zhen Shaolong looked at the report and felt that what the media said was right, he was indeed in a bad state, how could this game compare with the previous one?

The last game had a temporary skill effect, but this one can only rely on its own skills, and the strength state is not at the same level.

"It would be nice if there was a state in every game......"

Zhen Shaolong sighed.

However, winning the game is the best news, because the rival Liverpool drawn, Liverpool's opponent in this round is Arsenal, many people are optimistic about Liverpool, one Liverpool is very strong, and there is no drag in the Champions League, and the other is that Arsenal has just suffered the blow of the first leg of the Champions League, and morale will definitely be affected, but in the end Arsenal drew with Liverpool, and the score of 4 to 4 can show how fierce the game is.

The match also became the center of media coverage.

Newcastle United relied on a narrow win over Portsmouth to overtake Liverpool in the table and return to the top of the table.

The two teams are separated by just one point.

Liverpool had one more point than Newcastle United before, and now Newcastle United has one point more than Liverpool, and one point will definitely not guarantee the advantage, and the next direct meeting between the two teams has also become the most focused battle in the league.

"Premier League final!"

Many media outlets labeled the game in advance.

In the face of the Premier League title competition, whether it is Newcastle United or Liverpool, they will attach great importance to it.

It was annoying before the game.

Newcastle United players were interviewed and expressed their confidence in the game and their determination to fight for the league title.

"We're going to successfully defend our title!"

That's the slogan of the whole Newcastle United team.

Liverpool did not keep a low profile, many players stood up to express their determination, and even Benitez, who has always been low-key and is considered to be the 'house style manager', appeared in the media field of vision and issued a very positive declaration: "This one, we must win!" ”

"I'm sure any Premier League fan knows how important the league title is to Liverpool!"

"Since the 90s of the last century, Liverpool has never been named in the Premier League, Manchester United, Blackburn, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle United, among the best teams in England, we are the only ones who have not won the title!"

"Everyone is hungry for a title, even more so than a European title. For us, the Premier League title is not only a title, but also the most important honour, a milestone that marks the club's return to the top! ”

"The whole club, the players, the fans, everybody, is confident that they can play this game."

"They're just fighting for honor, and we're defending dignity!"

Benitez's unrelenting and blockbuster sentence 'They are just fighting for honor, and we are defending dignity' immediately hit the entire media news, and Liverpool fans expressed their sympathy, and many said, "Benitez spoke our mind!" ”

Newcastle United are indeed just fighting for honours.

As last season's league champion, this season's league championship or not, in fact, the difference is very big, the Champions League title, for Newcastle United is more important, from a hundred years of historical results, the Champions League champion will also represent Newcastle United to reach the peak of the century, that is certainly more meaningful than simply winning the league championship.

Liverpool is different.

As England's 'traditional aristocracy', Liverpool has never fallen into the first echelon, and is a strong contender for the league title every season, and the tragic thing is here, every year they are qualified to compete for the championship, and they fail every year, they must use a league championship to defend the dignity of belonging to Liverpool and England's traditional aristocracy.

While the media is talking about the significance of winning the championship, they will also be concerned about the state of the two teams.

Liverpool's state is not bad, the main players are basically not injured, from the last game with Arsenal, the overall state and fighting spirit are quite good, although in the end it was only a draw, but also because Arsenal's performance is really good, in addition, Liverpool is still playing away, and four goals can be scored at the Emirates Stadium, which is enough to prove Liverpool's strong firepower in the front.

Newcastle United are a bit worse.

The strength of other players is secondary, the media is mainly concerned about Zhen Shaolong, in the game against Portsmouth, Zhen Shaolong was considered to be 'not in good shape', only scored one goal in the whole game, did not have many touches, and did not contribute much to the attack.

"Zhen Shaolong's state will determine the outcome of the outcome. Crucially, he doesn't seem to be in good shape, and has clearly been affected by recent reports. ”

"Barcelona would even propose to let UEFA add rules to restrict Zhen Shaolong, for any player, his technical play is restricted, it is an extremely huge blow......"

"I hope Zhen Shaolong can come out of the predicament."

"It's up to him, in fact, it's not clear what UEFA will do, and although they decided to set up a group discussion, changing the rules of the game is a big deal, and adding rules to limit one player alone will definitely cause a huge public reaction......

The discussion on the media news made Zhen Shaolong feel helpless again.

He's not in good shape?

Says who?

Zhen Shaolong didn't feel that he was in a bad state at all, but felt that he was in a very good state, not to mention, even if he was really in a bad state, the effect of his skills would not be affected, and his performance would naturally not be affected too much.

So......

What is everyone talking about?

Zhen Shaolong found that he couldn't read the world a little, as if he lived in one dimension, and the others lived in another dimension, and there was no intersection between them at all, obviously he felt that he was in a good state, but the outside world said that his state was not good.

All right......

Zhen Shaolong felt very helpless, and the key system also seemed to think that his state was not good, "Hint: There is a new system task triggered."

The outside world is questioning your competitive form, and you need to adapt to the atmosphere of public opinion and show bad competitive form.

Objective: Lead Newcastle United to defeat Liverpool.

(During missions, matches will receive special effects.)

When you touch the ball more than 10 minutes apart, any Liverpool player's 'unobstructed shot' will be forced to correct the path and deflect off the woodwork.

When you have less than 10 minutes between touches, the match special will disappear until you meet the conditions again. ）

Reward: Increases STR by a bit. ”
