Saki already knew Wen Zhihao very well, and he was not surprised to make such a decision, but he still smiled and said, "Wen, you really ...... Very personal. ”

"Everybody wants to be different. For me, PUMA's endorsement fees are high enough. More money is just a number. Although football is my profession, I enjoy it more, and I don't lack money now, so I have one standard, whether it is in line with my heart. ”

Wen Zhihao is telling the truth, although his current lifestyle is not quite in line with everyone's perception of a top star. Luxury cars, not for the time being. house, myself in Madrid also live in a rented apartment. As for the beauty, it's even more distant, and now she doesn't even have a girlfriend, she's completely a virgin!

However, with the end of the season, his salary and the club's treble bonus have been paid one after another, and Wen Zhihao's bank card balance is close to eight figures, in euros!

Wen Zhihao already has an idea, when the World Cup is over, during the holidays, he should put more thought into this aspect and improve his family's life to a higher level.

I'm not short of money now, but I have to spend it where it should be. It is also the responsibility of my son to let my parents change their living environment and improve their quality of life.

Saki is indeed a qualified agent, although Wen Zhihao has made his own choice, but he still said that he will not be in a hurry to reply to Nike and Adi, leaving a way back for Wen Zhihao, although now Wen Zhihao and Puma have reached an agreement on the intention, but there are still many details in the follow-up, it is still early for the two sides to really sign a contract for cooperation, Saki still thinks about the worst possibility in his heart, that is, the follow-up details of the two sides will collapse, so Wen Zhihao also has alternatives.

Wen Zhihao nodded, quite satisfied with Saki's arrangement. also joked with him, the two most powerful sports brands in the world, countless stars rushed to endorse, and they actually became substitutes for themselves!

Saki just smiled after hearing this, Wen Zhihao likes to go off the beaten path and do things completely according to his own ideas, he knows it. As for what Nike and Puma think behind their backs, Wen Zhihao doesn't care, and he doesn't bother to think about things that have nothing to do with him.

After talking about the endorsement invitations of these three sports brands, Saki turned to the invitations of the two game brands.

The two are naturally football game brands, and with Wen Zhihao's current popularity, they are qualified to interest Saki and make Wen Zhihao make the final choice, naturally only those two football game giants who have attracted countless fans all over the world, regard each other as mortal enemies, and have been fighting openly and secretly for more than 20 years: Live and FIFA!

Originally, Wen Zhihao was more inclined to agree to the invitation of the live and endorse the "Pro Evolution Soccer 2019" to be launched next year, in Wen Zhihao's childhood, the popularity of the live was higher than that of FIFA, Wen Zhihao was also a live fan for two years, and the live promised Wen Zhihao would be the only cover character of the latest version of 2019. And the endorsement fee paid for this and the portrait right fee of Wen Zhihao himself are not low, when converted, it is only higher than the endorsement fee given to Wen Zhihao by these three sports brands for one year.

However, Wen Zhihao listened to Saki's persuasion this time, or changed his mind in order not to make Saki too difficult. Endorse FIFA OL4, the upcoming new game in the FIFA series.

In fact, this decision was absolutely correct for Wen Zhihao.

Because in the past two years, the FIFA series of games has begun to get rid of the real situation in production, and the development team behind it, EA Electronic Arts, in the United States, has cooperated with Tencent Group, China's largest Internet service empire, so the popularity of the FIFAOL3 is extremely high, with such a foundation, the FIFAOL4 prospects are very impressive. And FIFA's offer is tempting, inviting Wen Zhihao to become FIFAOL4 chief endorsement star in Chinese mainland. The endorsement fee starts at 6 million RMB, and said that the game will eventually make a profit in the entire Chinese mainland, and Wen Zhihao can take one percent of the profit.

Since the other party can give profits to Wen Zhihao in this way, because they believe that with Wen Zhihao's rapid momentum on the court, as long as the first star in China starts to receive endorsements, because Wen Zhihao rarely has off-field attention, such a sudden appearance, as long as the publicity is strong enough, it is almost impossible to worry about whether the profit will grow.

Moreover, such game brands are mainly aimed at young people, especially young students. At such an age, it is the time to blindly chase stars and worship, will Wen Zhihao lack idols among teenagers? Naturally not, as long as it is a boy who loves sports and loves to play football, whether he is a fan of Messi or Ronaldo now, it does not prevent them from liking and adoring Wen Zhihao at the same time.

It can be said that Wen Zhihao's idol role is almost a kill for teenagers and even groups under the age of 30!

Don't doubt the fan base of the first world-class star of Chinese football, take basketball as an analogy, Yao Ming entered the NBA as the champion show, becoming the first Chinese champion show in NBA history, and since then, his popularity in China has reached the national level. As the world's No. 1 sport, especially the national football team, which has placed too many emotions on Chinese fans, it reached the semi-finals of the World Cup under the leadership of Wen Zhihao, and was personally encouraged by the No. 1 big man.

Therefore, although FIFA has invested a lot of money, it is definitely a shrewd way to sign Wen Zhihao while the iron is hot to promote and build momentum when the whole people are paying attention to the World Cup.

……

Saki called Wen Zhihao for these two things, and after getting Wen Zhihao's opinion, he would go to help Wen Zhihao contact Wen Zhihao about the details, he said: "Wen, now you have to play the World Cup, I will help you with this side of the matter, and then talk about the contract after you finish the World Cup." Come on, the better you behave, the more bargaining chips you will have and the more room you can fight for. Good luck! ”

Wen Zhihao hung up the phone, everything was as usual, took a deep breath, maybe he had just finished a high-intensity game in the afternoon, he was extremely tired, and fell asleep early.

Early the next morning, the Chinese team set off from Moscow to Kaliningrad for the second time at Kaliningrad Stadium, but the mood is completely different from that of the group stage. This stadium will see them on their way to the final.

Win or lose, the Chinese team will return to Moscow after this game. If the Chinese team advances to the final, the next match will be the much-anticipated final at the 89,000-seat Luzhniki Stadium. In the event of a loss, the third-place match will be played at the Spartak Stadium in Moscow, where the Chinese team has just played.

Wen Zhihao didn't want to go back to Spartak to play the third-place match, the third-place battle was not interesting, compared to the final, the third-place battle was a chicken rib, and the Luzhniki Stadium was his destination after the semi-finals.

Although the Chinese media has already made a lot of noise about the match, Sina.com even brought up the last meeting between the two teams in a warm-up match six years ago to instill confidence.

At that time, in order to prepare for the 2012 European Cup, the Spanish team played a warm-up match with the Chinese team that was also training in Spain. Casillas, Ramos, Xavi, Iniesta, Silva, Negredo and other stars were all present.

At that time, the Chinese team was still an out-and-out "second-rate Asian team", and in the face of the World Cup champion, even if it was a fiasco of four goals and five goals, it was completely normal.

However, the result of the game was very unexpected, as Spain laid siege to the whole field and almost scored nothing, and it was not until the 83rd minute that Andres Iniesta assisted Silva to open the scoring. In the end, the Chinese team only lost 0:1 to the world champion. And in that game, Zheng Zhi missed a chance to shake off Casillas and send the ball into the empty net in the first 10 minutes.

Six years have passed, if it weren't for the media mentioning this stubble, I am afraid that most fans would have forgotten this "although defeated" game, but finding confidence from history is the unique skill of the Chinese media.

And this "distant" historical duel has given fans a confident confidence: the strength of the two sides has long been different from what it used to be, the Chinese team has Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin joined, and the tactics have been carved by Lippi's world-class coaching team, which is not at the same level as it was at the beginning. This Chinese team is at the first-class level in the world, and compared with the old champion team, it only lacks heritage.

And what about the Spanish team? There is no doubt that after Xavi, the "strongest brain" in midfield, withdrew from the national team, he saw who killed whom, and the dominance that made the opponent desperate is no longer there. "Marca" directly warned the Spanish team not to think about the final against Germany or Argentina, and the Chinese team in front of them is worthy of 10,000 caution and caution between Lopetegui and his team.

"In the group stage, Mexico somewhat despised the Chinese team, so they were forced to draw by the Chinese team, lost the most lethal two points in the fight for qualification, and indirectly achieved the Chinese team. Then Brazil relied on its own heritage and felt that the Chinese team was the best soft persimmon in the round of 16, and as a result, Atletico Madrid's core Wen Zhihao, who scored eleven goals in the Champions League, sent five-star Brazil home with two goals. By this time, the Chinese team had actually begun to prove to the world that they did not rely on luck to reach the quarterfinals. Their quality deserves to be taken seriously by every team. ”

"With the lessons of the first two teams, starting from the quarterfinals, the Belgian team really regarded the Chinese team as a strong team, but they were too anxious and wanted to directly beat the morale of the Chinese team with their super offensive strength, and as a result, the Chinese team achieved another team, showing the world a tenacious team spirit, with Wen Zhihao, the core of super cohesion, the Chinese team's fighting will can be as strong as the Germans."

"Julen Lopetegui has to keep a clear understanding of the Chinese team, since they met in the semi-finals, the Spanish team does not have any capital to be proud of because their squad is higher than the Chinese team's star Orange. The Chinese team deserves to use the strength to face Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and other traditional European powerhouses, and then always maintain 120% concentration and caution for every minute! This is by no means alarmist! With Wen Zhihao in the Chinese team alone, it is definitely worth every player to maintain the caution of facing a big enemy. Lopetegui should probably reach out to Zinedine Zidane and Ernesto Valverde to hear the hard lessons they have learned from Wen Zhihao, as well as the little valuable lessons they have learned from their many failures......

Perhaps it was too impressive Wen Zhihao's performance in the past season, or it may be that he was eliminated from the group of the last World Cup, eager to return to the top and maintain the status and image of Spanish football.

They are a bit of a delusional confidence, but they are not fools, and anyone can smell a "killing" smell from them.

As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark, and a dog that can bark doesn't bite. An opponent like this who takes the initiative to lower his posture is the most terrifying.

That's the real dangerous taste. A calm opponent who does not actively expose vulnerabilities in an encounter.

Compared with the calmness and rationality of the "Marca" newspaper, the Chinese media has been a little flustered since the national team qualification, and at this time, such a public opinion environment may be fatal for the national team.

After that, domestic fans soon found that there were many reports on the Internet that objectively analyzed the superiority of the two sides, and even deliberately poured cold water on the Chinese team. Influential domestic sports media involved in the coverage of the World Cup began to cool down everyone's burning passion slightly.

……

At the same time, Lippi also attaches great importance to the mentality of his players, and the two words he instills in his players the most are patience.

"Spain have more experience than us, they have more tactical literacy, they have better overall skills, we don't look like we have an advantage, but I want to remember that there is no team without weaknesses, how are we going to fight against the double winner of the European Championship and the World Cup? It's simple, be patient with them! ”

"Their core players are not as young as us, and with the advantage of us, they will definitely take the initiative to attack and hope to achieve maximum results in a blitzkrieg way. So I would like to tell you that in the first fifteen minutes of the second half, you have to do everything you can to hold on and at the same time fight for the ball and try your best to drain their energy as much as possible. Our real chance of winning is in the last half hour, the first 60 minutes, and if you put a little more point into the defense, you can use a little more of their energy, and the victory will be closer to us. ”

"When it comes to the semi-finals, you have to remember that winning is everything. I'm not going to ask you to play like you did before, even if you play the game to make the fans drowsy, and you can drag it out until the penalty shoot-out wins, you're the heroes. All the fans will applaud you for making it to the final! ”

Lippi's words are obviously utilitarian, not quite in line with the traditional impression he has left on everyone, but he is clear about the team's ultimate goal in the next game.

The winner is king, and only the winner is eligible to covet the golden Hercules Cup.
