The endorsement contract offered by Versace is very generous, so generous that Iroh and Papa Adrian can't believe it, as if it is a pie falling from the sky.

In the end, Santo Versace, who sat quietly on the side, cleared up the doubts for the two, "There is a reason why we have such a generous contract for Ai, because our company is ready to explore the Asian market, especially the Chinese market, we value Ai's popularity in China very much, and... After the calculations of our actuary, we are convinced that he will definitely be able to become a great star in the future, just like the first round of the Champions League group stage this season and Inter Milan decided a match..."

“…… As I said before, Aina's fanatical personality and persistent spirit are very much in line with our company's business philosophy, and our company's latest Versus brand is ready to be specifically aimed at young people who yearn for fashion, and Ai's characteristics are very much in line with this, so ......"

Hearing this, the two nodded as if they didn't understand.

Eventually, Iroh signed his name on the contract in triplicate.

As a result, Iroh became the first Asian exclusive spokesperson for Versace's Versus brand and the first footballer to sign with Versace.

For Papa Adrian, he is also very happy, his players can sign endorsement contracts with large companies like Versace, which is also a great help to the promotion of Iroh's popularity, and I believe that his reputation will increase in a straight line in the next period of time.

After the signing was completed, Santo Versace and others invited Arlo to participate in the press conference held at the Grand Hotel in Milan in the afternoon.

******

The next morning, Iroh was on the pages of the world's major fashion entertainment.

The Sun, Europe's best-selling entertainment newspaper, abandoned the traditional eye-catching three-page girl cover and instead headlined the issue with "Versace's Unexpected Spokesperson", with a photo of Iello shaking hands with current Versace president Santo Versace, flanked by two of Versace's other shareholders, Allegra Versace Baker and Donaltella Versace.

The text reads: "I really don't know what kind of luck this Chinese kid has taken, he was actually taken by Versace and became the first football player in football to endorse Versace, thinking that people like Baggio, Prince Totti, Beckham and others did not get Versace's contract, why can this Chinese kid get it?" Qiē seems to be confusing and becomes at a loss......"

“…… After a lot of research, Versace's signing is likely to open the Chinese market behind him, because Versace suddenly launched a number of businesses, business difficulties and successive losses, so I can't wait to open the Chinese market, because Armani has already occupied China's high-end clothing industry, so... Versace needs an influential athlete in China to be the spokesperson... However, what makes people wonder is that if you follow the influence, Yao Ming, who plays for the NBA Rockets in the United States, is more suitable for ......"

In fact, Versace did consider Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets, but after the calculations of the company's actuary, Yao Ming's various numbers did not match Versace's philosophy, so... Versace will choose Iello, who is currently popular in Spain and China.

“…… And from what we got the news, this kid from China doesn't seem to be very innocent, he is a complete playboy, but... At the same time, I have to say that he is a lucky boy, and there is no shortage of excellent beauties like Maria Sharapova, a beautiful girl in the sports world, among his prey, but from these aspects, I have to wait and see that Versace signed this Chinese, because I think he is more suitable to be the spokesperson of the playboy......"

The cover of this issue of "Milan Entertainment News" reads like this, "The first Versace spokesperson in football" as the headline headline, and the text reads: "Have you ever thought that Versace, the clothing kingdom, would sign a Chinese?" No... That's impossible! Beginning with the late Gianni Versace, the service objects of Versace's clothing kingdom have always been mainly the royal family and celebrities......"

“…… From Princess Diana to Stallone, and later boxing champion Tyson, all of them are stars who have attracted the attention of the world, but... At present, the popularity of signing this Chinese is only in Spain and China, and it is not a big star in the world, and it is expected that Versace's spokesperson for Versus this time will be a failed cooperation..."

The front page of the Los Angeles Times, a well-known entertainment newspaper in the United States, began with the headline "Doomed to be a failed signing!" As the headline, the text reads: "Looking at the whole of Hollywood, there are countless emperors and superstars, why can't Versace choose in Hollywood in order to open the Chinese market?" Is this Chinese more eye-catching than Hollywood movie stars? I don't believe it! Allow me to apologize here, because this Chinese who appeared on the cover of the newspaper, in fact, I didn't know who Versace was before he invited him to endorse, so... I apologize to all readers and forgive me for my ignorance......"

Almost the entire entertainment newspaper of the world is not optimistic about Ailo, who is the endorsement of Versace this time, except for the local newspaper in Valencia and the Chinese entertainment newspaper.

The headline of the Entertainment Times, a well-known local entertainment newspaper in Valencia, said, "Even if the whole world doesn't believe Ai, all of us Valencians will believe him, and we all firmly believe that Versace's signing of Ai is an extremely shrewd choice, although it can't show his value at this time, but who can be sure that it will be the same in a year or two years?" Just like he once said, 'Be the brightest superstar', one day he will become a well-known superstar in the whole football world! ”

Beijing's fashion and entertainment newspaper Beijing Entertainment Letter was also quick to respond, expressing its opinion almost at the same time, with fashion and entertainment headlines describing Versace's signing as "the most shrewd signing".

"Versace was able to sign my country's football sports in the midst of the dire situation, but it was actually a desperate signing, and when the company fell into a state of loss, it also spent a lot of money to sign Ailuo... From another point of view, it is because Versace values the future prospects of Iello very much, and at the same time believes in his potential, and at the same time... Iello has gradually become a household name in China, and as a promotion of Versace in China, it is indeed a very good choice, and I firmly believe that this signing will be a win-win signing for both parties......"

Sometimes... That's it, where there is criticism, there will naturally be praise.

Although long before receiving Versace's endorsement intention, Papa Adrian talked to Iroh about the problems he would face if he signed with Versace, but... The reaction of the global entertainment and fashion circle is simply too great!

The big Papa Adrian's agent has become at a loss, because his phone is about to blow up in the follow-up!

Although the phone call from his agent Papa Adrian was about to blow up, Iroh seemed very laid-back, returning to Valencia and still sitting comfortably on the training ground of the first team and training with his teammates who were not selected for the national team.

However, Iroh is more of a physical trainer with Gonzales.

His normal fitness is not enough for an intense 90-minute La Liga match, you know... Intense competitions like the Champions League are often more intense than La Liga, and the physical consumption is also faster, so Iroh's fitness needs to continue to be strengthened.

I believe that when the second half of the season enters the knockout round of the Champions League, there will be a fatal extra time.

Strengthening physical exercise now is a plan to worry about the rainy day.

During the league break, because Iroh was still 19 years old, he took advantage of his free time to participate in a youth team match with Albiol, and he scored four goals alone to help the team beat Real Madrid's youth team 6:0, and at the same time helped the team win the long-awaited victory.

Ello's mentor, Antonio López, smiled from ear to ear when he shook hands with the Real Madrid youth coach after the game.

was so angry that the head coach of Real Madrid's youth team wanted to scold his mother.

******

During this period, even the sports media expressed their incomprehension of Versace's signing, especially Juan Carlos of "World Sports" used an extreme headline to describe Versace's signing of Elo's endorsement, "Dig your own grave!" Then the text said: "Versace, as a global multinational company, would make such a mistake, don't they know that the Chinese kid in front of them is a meteor?" I! Juan Carlos can take a stand here, I think this Chinese kid will be half a year long, a month short, and he will be completely beaten back to his original form......"

“…… Unbelief? Time will tell if what I said will be true, it's ridiculous that a second-year La Liga student would boast of scoring a hat-trick at the Bernabeu!! Although we have a natural feud with Real Madrid, I still support Real Madrid this time, this Chinese kid is not going to score even a single goal in that stadium, as Casillas said, he will definitely keep a clean sheet against him......"

As Le Monde Sport also got involved in the global entertainment newspaper discussion, more and more sports newspapers also got involved in the commentary, with the exception of Valencia's local sports newspapers, who believed that Versace's signing was nothing short of a waste.

But the Spanish football media had to stop judging for only two days, as the match of Group VII of the 2006 World Cup qualifiers in Germany followed.

This is a do-or-die battle for Spain, away to the European Red Devils Belgium.

In the end, they won the game by two goals away from home, but in the other game at the same time, Serbia and Montenegro also beat Lithuania 2-0, so Spain are still two points clear of second place in the group.
