Chapter 31. Subsequent
If the Dutch Telegraph's attack on Li Lin was the beginning of this round of media storm, then the Dutch Telegraph's internal warning to Fran is definitely not the end, because there are more heavyweights yet to appear.
To tell the truth, the sudden media storm disrupted Raiola's original arrangement, and he didn't expect the Dutch Telegraph to directly point the finger at Li Lin, resulting in Li Lin's passivity in public opinion in a short period of time, but Ajax's reaction here was very fast, and within half a day, before the storm was formed, it was strangled in the cradle.
So Raiola can continue his plan here.
As an agent, hype is probably their most usual trick, and the average ability is to be blown into a first-class star, and a first-class star is to be blown into a world superstar. Of course, more often than not, hype is a very important factor in the emergence of young people, and many very good young people, without the operation of the media, it is difficult for you to know that he exists. Maybe it won't be until one day that a certain coach has the insight to bring it to the giants, and everyone will find out that this player is so strong. But in fact, it's not the coach who knows the English, it's the agent who puts the player's information in front of you, and when you study it carefully, you can find that this is indeed a good player.
Besides, in these years, hype has long become a regular means, without hype, the value of the player cannot be maximized, and then the agent can only eat ashes.
So now, Raiola is working hard to expand Li Lin's popularity, and his players are not only capable of no problem, but also all of them are very well-known stars, which is also very inseparable from his unsparing publicity. The most typical example is Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic's personal image is very complicated, but whether it is positive or negative, everyone admits his great strength, which is difficult to do, but Raiola did it, he successfully created the image of Ibrahimovic and powerful, and as Ibrahimovic gets older, there are fewer and fewer negative reports on him, and more and more positive reports, although this is due to Ibrahimovic's own gradual maturity, but there is no Raiola in the media. How can a person's image be so easy to change. This also shows Raiola's strong media operation capabilities.
And this time, Raiola just hired someone to write an exclusive review for Li Lin, that's right, it was Van Stier.
No one could have imagined that Raiola would dare to be so bold and use Van Sdier as a means of promoting Li Lin. Generally speaking, Van Steer rarely evaluates a player specifically and unless you're already accomplished, it's hard to hear anything good from him. So when people saw that the column of the Amsterdam sports newspaper Van Dieer actually changed the norm and sang praises for Li Lin, a young man, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"To be honest, I didn't like Li Lin at first, he was a young player who was abandoned by the big clubs' training camp, he was a player who came on loan, he was such a thin and weak player, and he had a vampire agent, Raiola. So when the editor-in-chief gave me this task and didn't limit the content, I thought it was a little strange in my heart.
I don't think a young player can play on the pitch that I admire, but as Ajax's pre-season training began, I gradually changed my opinion......
Kaya sat on the couch and read softly the content of the Amsterdam Sports newspaper Van Stier column in her hand, and the long hair in the shawl fell mischievously from her shoulders, blocking Kaya's view from time to time, so Kaya had to gently tuck her hair back with her hands. Li Lin was lying next to him, his eyes slightly closed, his hands in front of him, and he listened quietly.
ββ¦β¦ Whether it was against Mathieson's brilliant performance or his unrivalled attacking performance in the Dutch Super Cup, his performances won over the Ajax fans in attendance, as well as me, especially the first goal against PSV Eindhoven, which gave me a glimpse of Van Basten. β
"Looks like people think highly of you!"
Kaya glanced at Li Lin next to him with some surprise, such a columnist with great influence is so after Li Lin, if it weren't for the fact that Ajax fans knew what kind of person Van Stiler was, I am afraid they would feel that the other party was bought.
"Hey, these days, the new Van Basten is not worth much, and the Dutch media has advocated every day that there are not ten, but eight or nine, but what? Who has seen these players actually play over the years? β
Li Lin understands very well in his heart, it's good to listen to this kind of thing, don't take it seriously, if you take it seriously, you will lose.
"But in Van Stael's mouth, this sentence may carry more weight, because he has a good relationship with Van Basten, if he is untrustworthy, I am afraid that he will not be able to pass Van Basten's level!"
Li Lin didn't know that his unintentional words had become a reality.
Van Stille sat leisurely in his office, watching the man comment on his office dΓ©cor with a calm expression.
"I mean, don't you want to tell me something?"
Seeing that Van Sdier ignored his own meaning, he took the initiative to provoke the conversation a little helplessly.
"Marko, when did you care so much about this kind of thing, since you retired, the media hype about your successor has not stopped, you don't go to them, what are you doing with me."
Van Sdier looked at the man in front of him whose hair was already a little gray, and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, the years are unforgiving, and before he knew it, the other party was almost fifty years old.
That's right, that man is Marco van Basten, the man who used to do anything at AC Milan.
"Well, to be honest, I'm just stopping by to check it out, but I do have a bit of a curiosity about that kid, so I'm going to watch Ajax's first game of the season, how about it, do you want to come with me! Of course I'll identify people like me that you recognize! β
The meaning of Van Basten's words is obvious, if I don't agree, Van Sdier is afraid that he will hemorrhage.
Van Stier couldn't laugh or cry at Van Basten's attitude, this guy is so old, the arrogance in his bones still can't be eliminated, and there is no one who has to compete with his junior players.
"Okay, go and go, where do I dare not go, I'm afraid you're going to smash my signboard if you don't go!" Van Stille smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You guy, the head coach of Heerenveen is not in vain!" β
"But are you in time, when does the Heerenveen match start?"
Van Basten picked up the whip again this summer to coach Heerenveen, so that's the question.
"No problem, the two games are one day apart, it's in time!"
Van Basten replied in the affirmative.
