Chapter 352: The Nerazzurri in the New Season

There are few people in this Nerazzurri team that Shi Hao knows. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info several people who were good friends with him in the youth team have long since left the country, and there is no one left in the main lineup of the Triple Crown, and the only one who knows him and has a good relationship is only the Japanese player Yuto Nagatomo. Ranocchia, Andreoli and Biabiani knew him, but they were not familiar with him.

Despite this, Shi Hao, who finalized the transfer early, integrated into the team at a breakneck speed.

Who doesn't like a player who won the Ballon d'Or between Messi and Ronaldo and won the treble as a core for two consecutive seasons, who speaks Italian and doesn't put on a show? So Shi Hao integrated into the dressing room almost effortlessly, much easier than during his time at PSG and Chelsea.

Fans are also very enthusiastic about Shi Hao's return, and the number of fans watching the team's training has increased dramatically.

In the warm-up games at the beginning of the season, Shi Hao wore the No. 10 jersey and performed well, but Inter Milan's overall performance was very bad.

However, Shi Hao's joining is equivalent to a living signboard, who doesn't want to fight together by the side of the champion player?

Icardi, the top scorer of Inter Milan, who was originally shouting to transfer and leave, no longer left noisily, and voluntarily lowered his request to continue to negotiate a contract renewal; Joao, a member of the European Championship winning team who was still hesitant about transferring. Mario began to make a strike at Sporting Lisbon and was determined to join Inter Milan; Candreva and Ansaldi voluntarily took a pay cut to join.

However, Shi Hao's joining also consumed a non-European place, and Inter Milan had finalized the addition of Turkish left-back Elgin early, so the Brazilian duo Jesus and Barbosa, who were closely linked to Inter Milan before the transfer market opened, could no longer join.

While recruiting troops, Inter Milan also set up a summer training camp in China under the contact of Suning Group, during which they will play against several Chinese teams.

When Inter Milan arrived in China on July 25, they were greeted at the airport by the fans, much more than any previous visit to China.

Everyone knows why this is why China's number one star came to Inter Milan on the one hand, and Suning bought 80% of Inter Milan on the other hand, the Chinese began to see this team as a Chinese team.

Inter Milan also deliberately highlighted the team's Chinese elements, printing Chinese names on their jerseys during training in China, and stars frantically practicing Chinese signatures and a few commonly used Chinese greetings.

In the midst of the excitement, Inter Milan began a journey of collecting money. Tickets are sold for daily training, and they are as high as 400 yuan a piece; In several friendly matches with Chinese teams, the lowest-grade tickets were sold for 1,400 tickets, which was still in short supply.

There are also various commercial activities, participation in TV shows......

By the time they returned home from the summer training camp, Inter had already swept away 21 million euros from China. Of course, the real money is made by Suning Group, which owns 80% of Inter Milan's shares.

Moreover, during their stay in China, Inter Milan also negotiated several sponsorships, and Pirelli alone re-signed the contract with Inter Milan, raising the annual sponsorship fee of 12 million euros for chest advertising to 18 million euros, surpassing Fiat, which sponsored Juventus. Other sponsorships have also been increased accordingly, so that the FFP problem that fans were worried about has been basically solved, and UEFA recognized the "Shi Hao" brand's ability to make money, allowing Suning Group to continue to inject funds into Inter Milan for transfer operations.

Inter Milan aren't the only team calling for rain in the transfer market. This summer transfer window, teams have gone crazy to raise the value of their players to one peak after another. It is not uncommon for players to be traded for more than 30 million euros, Pogba's 110 million Champions League transfer fee has created an era of 100 million yuan in football, and Higuain's 90 million transfer to Juventus has also made big news.

As the most lucrative and watched league in the world, the Premier League has been awarded huge TV contracts for the new season, while the teams have seen a surge in revenue. Perhaps spurred on by Leicester City's counterattack to win the title, the Premier League's transfer this summer can be described as hot and crazy, with 13 of the 20 Premier League teams breaking the all-time record for signings. The Premier League as a whole has spent 1.41 billion euros on buying people, setting a new record, with Manchester City alone spending 215 million euros.

Serie A has also shown signs of a strong revival, with a total of 770 million transferred funds, of which Inter Milan and Juventus spent 180 million and 160 million euros respectively.

After that, the Bundesliga spent a total of 540 million euros and La Liga spent 460 million euros. The entire Ligue 1 cost only 190 million euros, which is only the same as the cost of Inter Milan alone, and even less than the cost of Manchester City.

In order to make up for the gap after Shi Hao's departure, Chelsea also invested 150 million euros to buy people, 40 million euros to buy Batshuayi and 37 million euros to buy Kante......

There was no shortage of ridicule from Blues fans. "Batshuayi is also worth 40 million? Isn't Shi Hao worth 200 million? In my opinion, 5 Batshuayi is not as good as the role of one Shi Hao. ”

But there is no way, the current football world is like this, and the transfer value is the same every day...... So after watching this summer's transfer farce, the Nella had to sigh that Shi Hao's 70 million transfer fee was really worth it...... It's just picked up for nothing.

And Shi Hao's salary is not high. Although it is the first in the team, it is only a weekly salary of 300,000 euros before tax, which is much cheaper than the other two Ballon d'Or winners Messi and Ronaldo. It's not even as good as Oscar, who went to the Chinese Super League, and Oscar's weekly salary before tax is 470,000 euros.

But what they didn't know was that Zhang Jindong compensated Shi Hao from somewhere else. In mid-August, Shi Hao announced that he would become the brand spokesperson of Suning Group, with an annual sponsorship fee equivalent to 29 million euros.

The previous highest endorsement contract in football was the endorsement contract signed by Ronaldo and Nike half a year ago, with an annual sponsorship fee of 21 million euros.

Of course, Suning gave Shi Hao such a high endorsement fee, on the one hand, Shi Hao has just won the Golden Globe Award, has a good personal image and temperament, and his influence in the world is about to catch up with Ronaldo; on the other hand, it is to compensate Shi Hao, after all, Real Madrid gave Shi Hao a weekly salary of 450,000 euros before tax, and various bonuses and appearance fees are also extremely high; Moreover, Shi Hao's transfer to Inter Milan and his inability to participate in the Champions League this season have shrunk his various advertising expenses, which means that he will receive nearly 10 million euros less every year.

Therefore, when Zhang Jindong invited Shi Hao to join, he promised to compensate Shi Hao in the sponsorship fee.
