Chapter 394: Indispensable

The first half of the Champions League final between Inter Milan and Barcelona ended with a score of 3:1, with Inter Milan, who were not favored before the game, taking the lead.

This result is beyond the belief of many people.

Those Dragon Country fans who blindly believe in Shen Feng and bet on Inter Milan to win in the game should be the happiest group of people at this moment!

Support Shen Feng, and by the way, you can win a little money, the best of both worlds!

By supporting Shen Feng and supporting his team – including Dragons and Inter Milan – Dragons fans have all won money in football lottery quizzes, at least in games with Shen Feng.

Because, after the statistics of interested fans, it can be found that the games in which Shen Feng participated, whether it was the Dragon Country team, the Jianye team, or the current Inter Milan team, had never lost!

The worst is a draw!

Before this Champions League final, Inter Milan team achieved an excellent record of 21 unbeaten on the two fronts of Serie A and the Champions League, and Shen Feng participated in all 21 games, scoring a total of 38 goals!

The total number of goals scored by Inter Milan in these 21 games is 65, and Shen Feng's goals account for more than half.

In addition to goals, Shen Feng also had 16 assists in these 21 games (10 in Serie A and 6 in the Champions League).

In other words, after Shen Feng joined the Inter Milan team, in the 21 games he played for the team, he was directly involved in 54 of the team's 65 goals!

If it is considered to be indirectly involved, Shen Feng's offensive contribution rate will be even higher!

In this Champions League final, Shen Feng scored two of the three goals of Inter Milan, and the one scored by Icardi also came from his goal.

It can be said that the Inter Milan team was able to unexpectedly lead the Barcelona team 3:1 in the first half, and Shen Feng's credit accounted for at least 70%!

This shows the importance of Shen Feng to the Inter Milan team!

Now, no one talks about Shen Feng's transfer fee of 35 million euros, and if you want to say it, you will only envy the Inter Milan team for doing a good business!

This transfer to the Inter Milan team is really profitable, which can be called fame and fortune!

Needless to say, in terms of profitability, the total revenue of the Inter Milan team in 2019 is expected to reach 150% of that in 2018, with rapid growth, and most of the credit comes from Shen Feng's joining!

The sale of Shen Feng's personal genuine jersey in Dragon Country alone can bring nearly 100 million euros in revenue to Inter Milan Club.

The net profit from the sale of genuine jerseys is very high, almost 70%, and with this alone, the Inter Milan club can have a net income of 70 million euros, which is twice the transfer fee paid for Shen Feng!

Moreover, the sale of genuine jerseys is not a one-shot deal, and after the team changes to a new jersey next season, it will be able to sell a wave - although the sales will not be as high as this time, but with Shen Feng's popularity in the Dragon Country, the sales of the new jersey will not be low.

Shen Feng's contribution to the commercial side of the Inter Milan team is not only the increase in peripheral sales, nor the increase in commercial sponsorship, but also the increase in the number of fans that makes the team happy.

Now, Shen Feng's tens of millions of loyal fans in the Dragon Country, because of his joining, have become fans of the Inter Milan team!

Although these new fans are not very loyal to the Inter Milan team, such a large number of fans can also make the Inter Milan team do a lot of things.

Zhang Yangyang, the current chairman of Inter Milan Club, is actively promoting the club's listing, and the rapid growth of the team's annual revenue, the smooth progress of global commercial development, and the rapid collision of fan groups are all good news!

Moreover, with the importance that Shen Feng is showing to the team now, the Inter Milan team will never let him go easily unless his head is in water!

With the guarantee of Suning Group, which has a market value of nearly 20 billion US dollars, the Inter Milan club is not short of money at all, although it is not as rich as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, which have a lot of petrodollars, but at least they will not look at the transfer fee of one or two billion euros.

Shen Feng's importance to the Inter Milan team is not comparable to the transfer fee that is very likely to set a new record in the international football transfer market!

In just a few months after Shen Feng joined, the market value of Suning Group, the parent company of the Inter Milan team, rose by 20%!

This is still in the case that Shen Feng and Suning Group are not directly related, and the growth of Suning Group's market value is mainly due to the improvement of their international influence.

The improvement of Suning Group's international influence is directly related to the improvement of the performance of its Inter Milan team!

It is reported that Suning Group is in contact with Shen Feng and is ready to ask Shen Feng to serve as the group's global image spokesperson, and the one-year endorsement fee will reach Shen Feng's current annual salary in the Inter Milan team!

Shen Feng's current annual salary is 12 million euros after tax, which is not among the top ten in the annual salary list of global football players.

However, if you include endorsement income, Shen Feng's current annual income can rank among the top five football players in the world.

In front of him are the most famous superstars in international football today: Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Bale!

In addition to the annual salary, the player's annual income, the bulk of which is actually endorsement fees, including goal awards, winning awards, championship awards, etc., is just pocket money - although Shen Feng's income in this part also has millions of euros.

Shen Feng's total income in 2019 is expected to reach 45 million euros, of which in addition to the annual salary of 12 million euros, about 4 million yuan, and the remaining nearly 30 million euros, all from commercial endorsements.

The three-year contract signed with Nike alone can bring Shen Feng more than 15 million euros in after-tax income every year.

In addition, Shen Feng is also the global spokesperson of BMW, Cartier watches, Armani men's wear, and Xiaomi mobile phones, and the endorsement contracts signed by Shen Feng and these brands are not long, most of them are one or two years, so the endorsement fee is not very high, and it cannot be compared with Nike's big contract, but it wins by quantity, and the total endorsement fee for a year adds up to more than 10 million euros.

Now, including Nike, all the companies that have endorsement contracts with Shen Feng have begun to negotiate with Shen Feng to renew their contracts, and even want to overturn the contract they just signed and re-sign a contract with a longer term, starting at least five years, and the endorsement fee will naturally rise, doubling compared to now!

When talking about the current contract, these companies all believe that Shen Feng needs at least one or two seasons to gain a firm foothold in the European arena and play in the Dragon Super League, but they did not expect that Shen Feng only took a few months to become an indispensable and important figure for the Inter Milan team, and almost single-handedly sent the Inter Milan team to the final of the Champions League!
