Section 169 Life like a football star
"I also said that it was not appropriate to wear that one, he was not white enough, and it was particularly ugly to wear that one, and he always didn't think it himself, and he thought he had a lot of taste. If you really wear that dress and take pictures in front of the media, it will really make people laugh to death......"
Sitting on the chair and listening to the two women in his ears constantly talking about the topic of clothing taste, Li Ze regretted a little in his heart, he was going back to China to watch a game. When he promised Gao Shunyao at that time, he felt that it was a bit crazy and exciting to return to China to watch a game. Now, however, he felt that the excitement was clearly overdone.
He really regretted that he didn't come by himself to watch the game.
Gao Shunyao's first national team match is about to start, and he has also returned to China to report on the team and prepare. The significance of this game is different from the past, and Gao Shunyao also attaches great importance to the first national team game. Unlike when he first played football, he had no plans for his future at all, and now Gao Shunyao obviously attaches great importance to these commemorative games, and specially let his friends watch the game.
Although theoretically, the national team players are definitely not allowed to bring their families to play, but it is not a problem to ask his agent to find a way for him to arrange for his friends to watch the game. With the help of Gao Shun Yaotong Guò Sato, he arranged a qiē matter, and Li Ze and them came to watch the game in China under Sato's arrangement. It's just that Li Ze, who was excited when he came to watch the game, definitely didn't expect that the ball game hadn't started yet, and he couldn't stand the chatter between the two women along the way.
"Is it necessary to care so much about what Lao Gao wears? He must wear a team uniform when he plays, isn't that what he wears in public? The footballer just plays the ball well, other things. So what's the bother? ”
Listening to their discussions, Li Ze finally couldn't help but open his mouth. However, as soon as he spoke, the two girls next to him pointed the finger at him at the same time.
"He's not just going to play. Recently, the media said that he was doing an interview, taking pictures or something, and he couldn't wear a team uniform all the time. What clothes he wears is very important, if he doesn't look good, won't he be a shame on me. ”
"Don't interject, okay? Always compare others with you, and you don't pay attention to yourself and think that others are the same as you? Don't take out your set of things and say, it doesn't matter what kind of football you play, can Beckham be the same as Ronaldo? Don't be ugly and don't allow others to dress up. ”
The reprimands of the two girls made Li Ze unable to say a word. He could only turn his head. Pretending not to hear them. Although he didn't think that Gao Shunyao could be as handsome as Beckham when he wore good clothes, he also had to admit that Gao Shunyao, who played football, didn't need to pay attention to these, but Gao Shunyao didn't just play football now.
During these days, Gao Shunyao can be regarded as famous. Since the first round of elimination, his reputation has also grown. Of course. It's not all his own credit, but a lot of it goes to the other two Japanese teams.
Kashima Antlers and Gamba Osaka lost both in this round of elimination. Gamba, who played away from home, was defeated in South Korea. Kashima Antlers, who were fighting at home, did not regain the courage of the group stage in the knockout round, and were forced to draw by the team. The penalty was eliminated. Three Japanese teams have advanced to the quarterfinals of East Asia, and only one team from Tokyo has now been eliminated. Tokyo is the weakest of the three teams. Instead, it has become the only remaining team that is still playing in the AFC Champions League.
After the AFC Champions League was restructured, Japan's football was really not very good. Originally, Japan applied for two consecutive AFC Champions League finals. I want to take the opportunity to increase the momentum of the J League and make it the first league in Asia. However, as the strength of the J-League has increased, the problem of their salary structure has been exposed too much, and good players have been frequently poached and not replenished, and their strength has declined.
The victory of Tokyo FC became the last fig leaf of the J League. And Gao Shunyao, who is playing better and better in the J League, is also becoming more and more famous at this time. There are many good players in the J League, and those famous stars are often blown by the J League magically, but in the AFC Champions League, they are all sluggish. On the contrary, it was Gao Shunyao, who was originally unknown, who led Tokyo, who played the AFC Champions League for the first time, to play better and better. Gao Shunyao's achievements make his name impossible to hide, and now he is the hottest foreign aid in Japan.
His name is enough to cheer the fans, in the 12th round of the league in Tokyo vs. Gamba Osaka, Gao Shunyao scored a goal in the opening game, and when the whole audience chanted his name, Li Ze also sat in the audience, he saw the fanaticism of the audience, and he knew Gao Shunyao's current reputation.
It's just a pity that in the end, that game still couldn't be won: Tokyo was still a little tired from playing in the AFC Champions League, and Gamba Osaka's foreign aid was really strong, and they still equalized the score in the end. With this game, Tokyo also ended its first half of the season with 12 games, 5 wins, 3 draws, 4 losses and 18 points, the score is a little low, but people can't have too high requirements for double-line battles.
I wonder if Tokyo will improve in the second half of the season...... Li Ze found that his thoughts seemed to drift a little far away. was obviously thinking about Gao Shunyao, but his mind drifted to football again. It's too early to worry about these things, Li Ze doesn't even know whether Gao Shunyao will play in Tokyo in the second half of the season, and it's really unnecessary to worry about Tokyo's results.
Gao Shunyao is playing better and better now, which also makes more and more scouts scouting him. Li Ze has read some Japanese football magazines, and when talking about the transfer after the World Cup, Gao Shunyao's name is also prominently listed. Maybe he's going to Europe for the second half of the season, and it's really unnecessary to worry about things in Tokyo.
Compared to these things that Li Ze was worried about, it was what Chen Sirou was worried about that was important. After becoming famous, he naturally faced all kinds of new problems, transfers, interviews, photo shoots, business activities, endorsements, sponsorships...... These things have all poured into his life.
This has changed Gao Shunyao's life a lot: in the past, when Gao Shunyao had an income similar to Li Ze's part-time job, not too many people paid attention to him. He also lived a very leisurely life, but now. The media began to interview him, and magazines began to photograph him. Some businesses began to contact him to discuss business cooperation, and for a while, his life became tense. How to speak in front of the media, don't say it wrong, how to do your hairstyle and dress so as not to attract ridicule, what kind of business contracts can be accepted, what kind of business contracts can not be accepted, these questions are what Gao Shunyao has to consider now.
It's just these, Li Ze can't build anything for Gao Shunyao. As Tian Ying complained. His own taste is terrible. If in football, Li Ze can still build a yì for Gao Shunyao, then now he can't control these troubles at all. But fortunately, Chen Sirou is willing to help Gao Shunyao worry about this, and he shouldn't be too outrageous.
These things are indeed not useless: the more fame you have, the more commercial value you have. In the past, Gao Shunyao did not have any business contracts in Japan because he was a foreign aid, but now he is becoming more and more famous. was even selected for the Chinese national team, which made things different. A famous athlete of a country must not worry about commercial contracts. What he needs to worry about is to tidy up his image and give people a good impression. In this way, more contracts can be obtained.
Perhaps, what Chen Sirou said is better than Li Ze taught him to play football. It may bring him more money - commercial contracts sometimes earn more than footballers. The players just need to play well, but the stars have to do something else. Li Ze doesn't think so. It's much better to just be a player than to be a star, especially in a low-income environment like Japan. It's certainly good to take more money.
Sato said that now some commercial contracts have come to the door, and he is still dragging his feet and not signing a contract, that is, he wants to see if Lao Gao can play better in these games. If he plays well, maybe he can go up again......"
Tian Ying and Chen Sirou were still discussing in a low voice, but their topic had turned to Gao Shunyao's recent business contract.
When it comes to money, Chen Sirou does not hide her pride. Gao Shunyao plays football in Japan, and he doesn't make a lot of money, and the two of them usually spend money, but if they don't want to use the family's money, they are also living in poverty. Gao Shunyao was able to get an advertising fee and his income rose sharply, which is indeed a great thing that can improve his living conditions, and of course he should be happy.
Tian Ying echoed her in a low voice, while Li Ze sat on the side, although he didn't speak, he also stretched out his ears to listen. Usually Gao Shunyao plays football, he will ask almost everything, Gao Shunyao has trouble playing football, and he will come to him as soon as possible. However, when it comes to advertising endorsements, he has always been quite far away. He didn't want Gao Shunyao to feel that he was trying to help him play football, and he had never talked to Gao Shunyao about this matter.
He didn't mention this, and Gao Shunyao didn't mention it much. In the past, when he made little money, he sometimes complained about his income with Li Ze, and since the salary increase, he rarely talked about income with Li Ze again. They have also paid a lot for football, but Gao Shunyao has now received a reward, and his income is rising day after day, while Li Ze's income has not changed, and Gao Shunyao does not want to bring up the income problem to stimulate him.
It's just that Li Ze is quite concerned about these issues even if he doesn't say them. Gao Shunyao is a straight-tempered person who doesn't think about it, Li Ze has seen it more than once, people like him are easy to be cheated by, and Li Ze is still worried about him.
"Sato told me that if he had gone along with it, his advertising revenue would probably be very high, maybe even several times the income of the competition. At this point, I have always had the feeling that I suddenly found out that he was working: as if he had suddenly become rich. ”
Chen Sirou was still talking to Tian Ying, and Li Ze also smiled slightly.
The advertising income of football players is a large piece, and Li Ze is also very aware of this. The salaries of Japanese players are generally not high, and the salaries received by young people can only be said to be barely surviving. However, those well-known players are completely different in terms of income, and it is not uncommon for them to even have an income of hundreds of millions of yuan when they shoot an advertisement. If the ball is played well, the income will naturally not be less, and Gao Shunyao's days of hard work with low wages are finally over. (To be continued......)
