"How's Zlatan doing?"

When he saw Mino Raiola again, after Yang Yang greeted him, the first thing he said was that he cared about his friend Ibrahimovic.

The main thing is that the impact of the phonegate on Juventus is too great.

Raiola shook his head and sighed: "It's not certain for the time being, Juventus is also in a mess now, and it is in an emergency public relations, hoping to avoid it, but it seems that the possibility of being relegated is increasing." ”

What the media exposes is often just the result of the game and public relations of all parties, but in fact, the things behind it are more complicated.

It was as if Moggie had apparently received the message and was hiding before the phone door.

But these things are obviously not Yang Yang's concern, he only cares about his friends.

"You don't have any pressure in this World Cup, you performed so well in the past season, it's normal for the World Cup to reach a low point, all the players are like that, as for the transfer and sponsor negotiations, I will help you get it."

Raiola made a special trip to Germany, in addition to appeasing Ibrahimovic, the most important thing was Yang Yang's matter.

One is transfers, and the other is sponsorship negotiations.

"A few days ago, I already revealed our psychological price to Nike and Adidas respectively."

Yang Yang saw the Italian fat man smiling with a thief's eyebrows, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, "How much did you drive?" ”

"Fifteen million euros!"

"What?" Although Yang Yang had been mentally prepared, he was still taken aback after hearing it.

"Fifteen million euros? Are you sure? ”

Raiola nodded incessantly, and replied in a very affirmative tone: "I'm a thousand percent sure." ”

"How could they possibly say yes?" Yang Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, it was really a lion's mouth.

"So, they were so angry that they slapped the table and left." Raiola is also candid.

Yang Yang smiled bitterly, and slapped the table by himself.

This price is indeed a bit outrageous, even Beckham can't get such a high price, let alone Yang Yang.

The last contract was only 3 million euros, and it has increased fivefold in three years, how can this be accepted?

"You, you still don't have a clear enough understanding of your market value." Raiola sighed twice, "I'll teach you another lesson and tell you how big the Chinese market is behind you." ”

Yang Yang couldn't help but think of the previous signing of the Porsche Cayenne.

"A lot of what I'm telling you below are the secrets of the two companies, and I also worked hard to dig it out, Nike has grown by more than 50% every year in the two years since signing you, and it is expected to reach $800 million this year, half of which comes from your influence, and next year's goal is $1.2 billion."

"According to the reliable information I have received, they are very satisfied with the current growth rate of the Chinese market, and it is expected that by the year of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the revenue will exceed 2 billion US dollars, and in 2010, it will exceed 3 billion US dollars, almost every year is growing at a very fast rate, and their most important bargaining chip is you."

"As far as I know, Adidas is currently far behind Nike in the Chinese market, both in terms of revenue and growth rate, and they are very jealous, because they have more stores than Nike, but their revenue is significantly lower than Nike, so they want to grab you, you understand what I mean now, right?"

Yang Yang nodded, he also studied business administration, so naturally he wouldn't understand.

Compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars that these companies often have, their own 15 million euros are nothing at all.

This is also what his father Yang Yongqiang and Wei Zheng once told him, Nike and Adidas, the two major international brands, have almost swept in China, but none of the domestic brands can beat except Li Ning.

Their family is now relying on the marginal market of running shoes, barely gaining a foothold, and making some names.

For the time being, the gap between the strength of domestic brands and the two giants is still too great.

Before, Yang Yang didn't think about standing in line for his own brand, but Wei Zheng made him dispel this idea, and he used "the temple can't accommodate the big Buddha" to describe Yang Yang, thinking that this would disrupt the development of the company itself.

Yang Yang also understood this truth, so he naturally dispelled this idea.

"These two giants are careful calculations, I offer 15 million euros, that is, I want them to pay back a counteroffer, you wait and see, with the current attractiveness of the Chinese market, the two giants will definitely kill people, and you will take advantage of the fisherman, I will make some errand money."

Every time he saw Raiola's smile, Yang Yang would think of the word Jian Shang in his mind.

Subsequently, Raiola talked to Yang Yang about the transfer.

Judging from the current situation, Serie A and Bundesliga have been excluded, and La Liga is estimated to be unlikely, so the most likely team for Yang Yang to go to the next stop is the Premier League.

The top four of the Premier League are all very good options.

Whether it is Manchester United, Chelsea, or Arsenal and Liverpool, they are all full of interest in Yang Yang, and no matter which team he goes to, Yang Yang is confident that he can get the main position.

Of course, it will depend on what conditions the four teams can offer him.

salary, Yang Yang doesn't care, Raiola is in charge, he only cares about his tactical positioning in the team.

He wants to play to a team that can play to his strengths and characteristics.

…………

…………

After meeting Raiola, Yang Yang devoted himself to the preparation of the national team.

According to the schedule, the opponent of the Chinese team in the first game of the World Cup is Mexico.

The team performed quite well in last year's Confederations Cup, and the team's small and agile style of play was eye-catching, especially their midfield organization, and the midfielder Xenia, who is only 1.63 meters tall, performed quite well.

"If there are no accidents, Xenia should continue to start this game."

In the pre-match tactical preparation meeting, Alihan was clearly full of worries about Xenia.

'The player with Brazilian roots will be the heart of Mexico's midfield, and he's particularly good at moving around the right flank, so our midfielders and left wing-backs have to be focused.

Both Cho Junzhe and Cao Yang nodded their heads, both of whom will be defenders in Xenia's area of activity.

"Another noteworthy striker is Mexico's striker Borgotty, who is only 1.83m tall but is particularly good at heading, and he is also the best player in Germany for the World Cup qualifiers, scoring a total of 14 goals, but last season at Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League was relatively average, but no matter how careless.

Although Mexico is a North American team, they actually have quite good footwork, strong ball control, and a very dangerous midfield penetration, and their traditional advantage is the small and fast style of play.

The overall strength of Costa Rica that the Chinese team met in the last World Cup was not as good as Mexico, but the Chinese team also lost miserably that time, which shows that this time when it meets Mexico, the team must show 100% focus and dedication.

And unlike the previous session, this time the Chinese team has nuclear weapons.

That is Yang Yang.

"There is no doubt that tomorrow's game will be completely passive in terms of possession and on the field, the opponent will have the initiative, and all we can do is defend, defend, defend!"

Alihan said three times in a row about defense, which shows that he really has no confidence in the strength of this national team.

Yang Yang himself can feel that this national team is in the stage of metabolism, and the most important thing in this World Cup trip is to meet the top teams in the world.

Mexico is a North American powerhouse, Portugal is a European powerhouse, and the only weaker team in the group is Angola, but they also played well in Africa.

It can be said that with the current strength of the Chinese team, it is not sure that it will meet any of these three teams.

Although no one said, Alihan brought so many young players, it is clear that he is going to train.

"Okay, everyone, please believe that the biggest test for us in this game is defense, as long as we can hold on, the attack in front will have a chance to score!"

…………

…………

In fact, despite the psychological preparation of the Chinese team before the game, and even under the disparity of possession of the ball by more than 60 percent to 30 percent, the Chinese team still did not mess up and organized a tight defense.

But in the end, they all conceded the goal.

And it was lost in the 37th minute of the first half.

The man who scored Mexico's goal was none other than the Brazilian Xenia who scored the most before the tournament for Alihan.

He dribbled the ball diagonally into the middle on the right side, although Zhao Junzhe had returned to the defense in place, but Zigna suddenly made a direct pass, and the right midfielder Mendes quickly inserted it, shook off Cao Yang's cross, and Borgetti headed the goal in the penalty area to open the scoring for Mexico.

1 to 0!

This goal hit the Chinese team hard.

The first thirty minutes were very hard, almost pressed and beaten by the opponent, and there were not many opportunities to counterattack, but they were held anyway.

This goal was a complete waste of all the previous efforts.

Under the painful blow, the Chinese team made another mistake in just three minutes.

When goalkeeper Li Leilei cleared the siege, he did not hit the ball far away, and was headed back to the middle by the Mexican player, and when the Chinese team cleared the siege, it hit the Mexican player, and Xenia grabbed the ball at the edge of the penalty area.

But just when Xenia seemed to pass and shoot, Yang Yang, who had retreated all the way from the front, suddenly appeared, blocked the Mexican player's kick with his body, and quickly kicked the ball out of bounds and became a Mexican throw-in.

This allowed the Chinese team to say goodbye to a crisis for the time being!

But in the subsequent game, the Chinese team was still very passive, but after the halftime break, it stabilized its position a little, but there was still no improvement on the field.

The midfield couldn't get the ball, and Yang Yang had to be forced to retreat frequently.

Not only to retreat to get the ball, but also to advance with the ball, but also to find opportunities to quickly insert and score, it is really hard to be a father and a mother, but it is still a little rewarding.

In the 56th minute, midfielder Zheng Zhi launched a counterattack after breaking the ball.

Yang Yang shook off the Mexican defender when he stopped the ball, and quickly advanced with the ball in the middle.
