After the game, Chen Xi politely declined Li Gang's invitation to get together after the game on the grounds that he wanted to go back to London with the team. He knows very well that he has just established himself in the team, and it is better to follow the big team.

It is not unreasonable for Chen Xi to think so, he has just had an outstanding performance in two games, and if he asks for leave, it will inevitably leave an impression of pampering and arrogance on Hoddle.

On the bus on the way back, Chen Xi received a call from Yang Xu, this guy wanted to knock Chen Xi on the grounds that Chen Xi was about to become popular after watching the live broadcast of the game.

Chen Xi also generously agreed to Yang Xu's request, and asked Yang Xu to call those teammates of the Chinese student team to go to Chuanxiang Tower to rub together. In the case that he is not short of money, Chen Xi is still very generous. After all, your own appearance fee and points bonus or something add up to pay for a meal, which is definitely enough.

……

The reason Yang Xu used to "blackmail" Chen Xi is not an exaggeration. According to the developed level of the British media, Chen Xi, who completed a hat trick of assists in his Premier League debut, will definitely become a well-known figure on the street the next day, not to mention that he has been touted by the media to a certain degree of popularity before!

"The two rookies shine Goodison, who is England's new golden boy?" It was the headline of Sky Sports the next day, and it was accompanied by a photo of Chen Xi and Wayne Rooney exchanging jerseys after the game. It was mentioned that the game was more of a match between Edison Chan and Wayne Rooney than a rivalry between Tottenham and Everton. As for the result, it is obvious that Chen Xi not only won the game but also the data. And Rooney can also be called glorious despite defeat.

The Guardian also gave a report on this game, and they even mentioned in the article that Chen Xi and Rooney will be a valuable asset to English football in the next ten years! After all, they were all young people under the age of eighteen.

However, the Guardian's report has also been questioned by many conservatives, who believe that the Chinese Chen Xi should not be regarded as an orthodox local player. The fact is that conservative England did not accept the first black international Viv Anderson until 1978, and the first black captain Paul Ince did not appear until 1993.

In fact, as early as 1945, there was a Chinese player in the England national team, Frank Sue. However, due to the FA's refusal to admit the number of appearances of players in the England team during World War II, Sue's international status can only be "unofficial", and former Nottingham player Anderson was "lucky" to become the first official English FA colored player, but later, the famous Wikipedia named Sue and admitted that Sue was the first colored player in England's history.

Some of the media outlets that supported Chen Xi used Frank Sue as a reason to attack conservatives.

I'm afraid that even Chen Xi himself didn't figure it out, he only played a league game, and it had already caused a battle between the English media. If this is to be replaced by a developed network, he may also set off an Internet scolding war!

Of course, this media battle is still small-scale for the time being, after all, Chen Xi is just starting out.

Most of the media still affirmed Chen Xi's outstanding performance in this game.

Even the BBC's sports program highly praised Chen Xi's performance, saying that his second consecutive hat-trick of assists proved that his previous performance was not accidental!

As for China, Chen Xi's powerful performance is naturally even more popular.

Although the Premier League in 02 was not the most popular league in China, because there were more Chinese players in the Premier League at that time, it was still more concerned, and CCTV5 did not "block" the Premier League at that time, so the domestic publicity for Chen Xi was still in place.

However, Chen Xi, who is in the UK, can't see those reports in China, so naturally he has no way of knowing how popular he is in China. But he could feel that he was indeed a celebrity. Because many brand merchants have found Chen Xi's agent, George Hamm.

George Hamm came directly to Chen Xi's home with a thick stack of endorsement contracts. Chen Xi hurriedly looked at these contracts and put them on the coffee table. He found that most of these brands are small local brands in the UK, although there are many top local sports brands such as Umbro, but the endorsement prices given are not high.

Obviously, they all want to take advantage of Chen Xi's fledgling career and strive to sign him with considerable potential at a small price. Once Chen Xi becomes a big star, then they will naturally earn it, and if Chen Xi tends to be mediocre, they can also take advantage of Chen Xi's popularity in a short period of time without losing too much.

For most young players, the price of these endorsements is still relatively attractive. I'm afraid that many young stars and their agents will be reluctant to turn down these contracts.

The wishful thinking of these merchants cannot be described as bad. But what they met this time was not an ordinary young player, Chen Xi was a time-traveling person with nine years of advanced consciousness, and he naturally saw farther than ordinary people.

"George, are you short of money?" Leaning comfortably on the back of the sofa, Chen Xi asked a question that puzzled George Hamm.

"It's okay, I took two commissions last time I signed a contract between you and Danny, and I took a tenth of each of your income! Why do you suddenly ask this? "George Hamm is a very good agent. But he is still a Westerner by nature, so he is still not very comfortable with Chen Xi's detour.

"My meaning is simple, if you're not short of money, just push these contracts off! Wait a little longer, even if it's half a season, and the price will definitely be completely different! Chen Xi's tone was very flat, as if what he pushed away was not a money-making contract, but a pile of waste paper.

Chen Xi's self-confidence obviously infected George Hamm, and if he thought about the content of these contracts, he also felt that he was a little unproductive! I would be tempted by these small contracts! Looking at Chen Xi who was sitting on the sofa, George Hamm couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. I have been in the agent industry for so many years, and I am not as far-sighted as a hairy boy under the age of eighteen, what a failure!

"Haha, I know what you mean, I'm going to push these contracts off right away! In fact, I also know that the price of these contracts is too low. But after all, it's about your income, so I'm here to ask you what you mean! George Hamm said with a laugh.

"Hehe, as I said, I'll leave the off-field affairs to you. You can refuse a contract like this without my consent! Chen Xi smiled faintly.

Don't suspect people, don't doubt people! Chen Xi is convinced of this sentence!
