London.

It's not the first time Zhang Tiehan has come, but this time is different from the past, he has come to London as a player for the away team before, and now he is here again, but as a player who is about to join Chelsea, he is also followed by a group of people, his girlfriend Lola, cousin Zhang Zhenren, Camille and a group of reporters who rushed to come, and even some reporters from Germany to Liverpool, from Liverpool to London, they are like Zhang Tiehan's Private' reporter, filming Zhang Tiehan's outing activities in recent days.

Zhang Tiehan didn't want these reporters to follow, but after the World Cup, his fame rose even further, and Beckham advised him to 'treat' reporters well, at least give them the right to interview, so that he could become more famous...... Of course, the most important thing is to be able to make more money, and this reason completely touched him.

But it's also.

In the past few days, he has been the focus of attention in England, and his every move will be on the pages of major media, even if he drives away these reporters, they will secretly shoot behind their backs, rather than let them follow generously, anyway, it will be just a few days, and when he officially joins Chelsea, it will be a lot better.

Zhang Tiehan and Zhang Zhenren walked in front.

They just got off the plane, there were thousands of fans at the airport rushed to welcome them, when they got off the plane, seeing these many fans, Zhang Tiehan was very comforted, came to a new place, he was actually a little apprehensive, no matter what, these fans used to be his mortal enemy, but now he has become a member of Chelsea, these fans rushed to welcome him, he must also sigh, "The life of a professional player is really complicated and changeable." ”

Of course, he's used to it.

Stand in the aisle of the aircraft. Zhang Tiehan pointed down and asked his cousin, "Brother, do you think I should jump off now, and then put on a handsome pose, just like ...... It's like a master of martial arts novels. Then he drew a sword from behind his back, pointed it at them and said, 'I am the best in the world'! That must be handsome......"

"They're going to take you for a fool." Zhang Zhenren rolled his eyes.

Zhang Tiehan nodded, "It's a pity, these Europeans should find it difficult to understand the demeanor of martial arts masters...... "He is really a little impulsive to do that, saying that he naturally practiced hard qigong, coupled with his own body, jumping from a few meters, he will not be as handsome as a martial arts master, at least he can't hurt himself."

The two of them said as they stepped off the plane. After greeting the fans, and then under the arrangement of the staff, a small-scale signing ceremony was held, and a few lucky fans took photos before Zhang Tiehan left the airport.

By this time he was already a little tired.

Dealing with these fans is really no less physical energy than the game, and the main thing is that he is too irritable, just now he signed more than 100 in a row just by signing it, which is not a good feeling.

Soon they were at Chelsea Football Club. Walked into the press conference.

Lola and Camille have already left, and they are moving into a new house. It is a villa given to Zhang Tiehan by Chelsea chairman Roman Abramovich, located on the outskirts of north London, 30 minutes' drive from Chelsea's training base, 40 minutes' drive from Stamford Bridge, and two kilometres to the east of the bustling Krubis Avenue. The villa has four floors, a plunge pool, gym, etc., and is quite luxuriously decorated, and the market value of this villa is at least more than two million pounds.

Zhang Tiehan is still very satisfied with this.

Originally, he was thinking about buying a new home in London, but he didn't expect Abramovich to be so generous. If it were him, he would definitely be reluctant to buy such a luxurious residence, free and good, he liked it too much, but daily maintenance, cleaning staff, nannies, etc. cost a lot of money...... It seems that in the future, we will have to save money.

Zhang Tiehan kept thinking.

He was already standing at the door of the venue, and at the Chelsea Football Club's arrangement, he waited a little before he walked in, got to know the president of the team, Roman Abramovich, and manager Afran Grant, and then signed his name on the contract.

In fact, this is just a ceremony, which represents Zhang Tiehan's official joining Chelsea, and the real contract has already been signed.

Holding a signing ceremony is also a means of Chelsea club's external publicity, not to mention the world's top players like Zhang Tiehan, even if it is a multimillion-level star, joining the club must have a signing ceremony, which represents the club's importance to the players, and it is also to introduce new players to Chelsea fans.

Zhang Tiehan is a little different.

With his fame, there is no need to introduce anything, and what England fan doesn't know his name now? The more important purpose of this signing ceremony is to let everyone know that Zhang Tiehan has joined Chelsea, and to promote Chelsea with Zhang Tiehan's fame.

The world's No. 1 star with a net worth of hundreds of millions joins Chelsea!

Chelsea's fame is not as good as those real top giants in Europe, such as Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, etc., it can't be compared in Europe, and it can't be compared in the world, so they need more publicity, and Zhang Tiehan's joining Chelsea is an opportunity.

After the World Cup, fans all over the world knew about Zhang Tiehan.

His fame has increased greatly, his commercial value has soared, and many large companies have proposed to sign contracts with Zhang Tiehan, hoping that Zhang Tiehan can endorse their brands, and those companies that have contracts with Zhang Tiehan are not stingy to raise the price to renew the contract, and even Nike has sent people to negotiate with Zhang Zhenren, because they need Zhang Tiehan to do more promotion for Nike in European football.

Nike is quite happy, they can't compete with Adidas in European football, but they signed Zhang Tiehan, Zhang Tiehan's own fame, can be compared to two or three big-name stars, in terms of influence to catch up with David Beckham, and his contract with Nike is not high, now Nike took the initiative to modify the contract, add some price code, this attitude also makes Zhang Tiehan very satisfied, with the most famous star after the World Cup to do publicity, their competition with Adidas is more capital.

As a competitor, Adidas Company, which failed to win Zhang Tiehan, was very annoyed, and the European football market, they have been squeezed out by Nike a lot in recent years, and now there is another Zhang Tiehan, the reason is that the price they offered at that time was not as good as Nike.

Who is so visionless. Actually missed Zhang Tiehan? Knowing this, he should have signed Zhang Tiehan at any cost.

They are now quite annoyed.

In addition to the sports market, other brands also have opportunities, Zhang Tiehan's endorsement has always been good, because Zhang Tiehan pays more attention to the freedom of life, Camille has turned down many small brand contracts. Except for those big contracts of world-renowned brands, Zhang Tiehan will not sign small contracts that basically need to be advertised.

Especially now that Zhang Tiehan's fame has increased greatly, Camille will take the initiative to endorse the influence of the brand, and the brand endorsement is still not much more expensive, and there are a few big contracts like Nike, which is enough.

Before, Zhang Tiehan was just too lazy to do some small brand promotion. But now there is a harvest, such as electronics, automobiles and other industries that have little to do with sports, he does not have an endorsement contract, all kinds of daily necessities, luxury goods, etc., no endorsement contract is equivalent to not being trapped, if you signed a small contract before, you can't sign a contract with a large company if you are trapped, and now it is the world of harvest. As long as it is a brand in the commercial field that has not been developed, he can sell it at a price and sign a contract.

After the end of the World Cup. Zhang Zhenren and Camille were busy in a mess, and they even recruited a few bad brokers to form a team of brokers to serve Zhang Tiehan, and Zhang Zhenren also registered a small brokerage company.

Recently, they have been busy with Zhang Tiehan's affairs.

Various contract analysis, brand analysis. Make a daily time schedule for Zhang Tiehan, what activities he needs to attend, and what time he needs to do something every day, not only are they busy, but Zhang Tiehan is also restricted by rules and regulations. In the three weeks between the end of the World Cup and the end of July, he had to work according to this schedule, and the holidays were completely gone.

But it's normal to think about it.

At the end of last season, he went directly to the World Cup, the World Cup ended around July 10, and the Premier League will start in early August, even if he doesn't do anything in between, he only has a three-week holiday, but in fact, he has to attend the welcome ceremony held by Chelsea, plus he has to attend all kinds of parties, whether it is held by his teammates, or held by the English elite, in short, he will not have a holiday at all.

At his level of fame, it is very difficult to think of some free time.

The signing ceremony is about to begin.

A middle-aged man in formal clothes walked over and shook hands with Zhang Tiehan, and a staff member hurriedly introduced, "This is Mr. Wiggins, the team's assistant coach." ”

After shaking hands, Wiggins smiled heartily, "Zhang, everything is ready, you can go in." ”

Zhang Tiehan nodded, glanced at the venue, and walked in with his head held high.

Just walked in, all kinds of flashing lights shone over, almost all the cameras pointed over, Zhang Tiehan only felt a white light in front of him, blinked a few times before getting used to it, he strode forward, and Abramovich in front of him had already brought the team's head coach Afran Grant to greet him.

Shake hands with each other and introduce them again.

Zhang Tiehan looked at Afran Grant, this is Chelsea's new head coach, he was not famous before, but before he came to Chelsea, he led Israel to the World Cup, but compared to Zhang Tiehan's fame, Grant can definitely be described as 'not worth mentioning', Abramovich has no way to let Grant coach, because good coaches have long been famous this summer, and Chelsea can't find a better coach.

However, Zhang Tiehan is quite polite, he doesn't think this guy has any ability, but after all, he is the future head coach, and it is always good to have a good relationship.

The two said a few words, and it was Abramovich's turn, the Russian looked at Zhang Tiehan with a smile on his face, he patted Zhang Tiehan on the shoulder, the smile looked very kind, and he walked to the rostrum with Zhang Tiehan on his shoulder.

"Let's go, let's witness this important historical moment together."

Behind the two of them, Afran Gratt looked helpless, he is the head coach, but at this moment he is obviously not the protagonist, it is obvious that Abramovich is much more cordial to Zhang Tiehan than to him, but this is also inevitable, Zhang Tiehan is the world's top player that Chelsea spent more than 100 million euros to get, and he was very well-known in the coaching world before, and only coached various small clubs, and his best result was to lead Israel to the World Cup. He also failed to qualify from the group, and even if he managed to become Chelsea manager now, he found that it was 'good luck', not that Chelsea saw his ability and that he had to show his ability if he wanted to be taken seriously.

The current Grant obviously does not have the ability to show Chelsea and Abramovich's attention.

And Zhang Tiehan is already a top player in the world. He became famous in Rome, went to Liverpool to help the team win the Champions League, and became the top scorer in the Premier League, the top scorer in the Champions League, and after participating in the World Cup, he won the World Cup Golden Boot, the best newcomer in the World Cup and other awards. That's a given.

However, Grant is also relieved that having such a top player in the world and a large group of world-class stars is probably the best environment that every football coach wants to have, and if he can't lead the team to good results, it is a matter of his own ability.

……

The next day, the image of Zhang Tiehan and Abramovich standing together became the front page image of many major media in England, and even many media used the term 'historical moment' to illustrate this picture.

Zhang Tiehan joined Roma, making Roma, who were about to fall to the dust, a strong contender for the league title. gave Roma the second-best result in the Champions League in history; Zhang Tiehan joined Liverpool and made Liverpool the Champions League champion. and won the FA Cup; Now that he's at Chelsea, what can Chelsea achieve?

There is no doubt that each of the three teams is stronger than the other!

Chelsea is definitely much stronger than Liverpool and Roma, and although Chelsea lacks historical background, it is indeed strong now. Two consecutive seasons of Premier League titles are not easy to come by, and Chelsea also have a large number of the world's top players, and the main squad is a big star every one of them.

Now that Zhang Tiehan is back at Chelsea, many Chelsea fans are looking forward to the team's results in the new season.

For them. The most important thing is the Champions League, if you want to build a real giant, the league title alone is not enough, they have to do well in European competitions, good results are nothing more than championships, Chelsea fell in the last four in the first two seasons, they hope that the team can cross the last four, reach the final, and even win the Champions League.

That's what Chelsea fans want most.

For Zhang Tiehan's joining, the media who support Chelsea are naturally very happy, they reported on Zhang Tiehan's joining at length, which also includes the analysis of Zhang Tiehan's experience and strength, the strength is naturally obtained through various games, when the fans read Zhang Tiehan's honor, the table of participating in the game, etc., they were all surprised.

If you are not a fan of pure Zhang Tiehan, you will only think that Zhang Tiehan is a world-class star, but what exactly does it look like, in fact, they only have a vague concept.

But when they seriously watched Zhang Tiehan's two seasons in Rome, in Liverpool, in the league, the Champions League, and the World Cup, they really understood that the 'number one player in the world' mentioned by the media is not only the first in value, but also the absolute first.

Whether it is the league, the Champions League, or the World Cup, it is the most goals in the past two decades.

Not only that, but there are also quite a lot of assists, but it is said that in the Premier League last season, Zhang Tiehan had 14 assists, ranking second in the assist list.

In addition, his steals, pass success rate, number of dribbles and success rate, etc., a series of numbers are all at the top of the list, these individual are nothing, but when they are put together on a player, it is too terrible.

It can be seen how much Zhang Tiehan has paid for Liverpool's Champions League title.

Chelsea fans have finally figured out why they have always lost to teams with Zhang Tiehan before, let alone them, it is really difficult for any team to win games against such a formidable opponent, and they have done very well.

Such a player has joined Chelsea and is going to play for Chelsea in the new season, and Chelsea fans feel very fortunate and look forward to the new season.

……

The signing ceremony was followed by an event the following day, a special fan welcome event for Chelsea Football Club to promote the team, which took place at Stamford Bridge.

Zhang Tiehan is no stranger to Stamford Bridge Club.

He's scored a lot of goals here, back in his time at Wigan Athletic and scored three goals to score a hat-trick. He was so impressed with that game because it was the first time he played against a team of Chelsea's size.

Now he is back at the stadium to attend the welcoming ceremony.

More than 40,000 fans came to the stadium, and the stadium was full of fans, as if it had become a game, but in fact. Today's protagonist is only himself, he needs to answer questions from reporters under the eyes of tens of thousands of fans, and also have some autographs, photo activities with fan representatives, and finally speak to all fans.

This series of activities will take place for almost two hours.

For Zhang Tiehan, these two hours are really difficult, even more tiring than a game, but it must be done, he is arranged by the staff. Stepping onto the rostrum, looking at the fans around him, he picked up the microphone.

The staff arranged a draft of his speech for him, but Zhang Tiehan did not take it, he didn't need it at all, he knew what he should say, and those prepared speeches would not suit him.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, he finally spoke. "My name is Zhang Tiehan, and I'm sure you've all heard that name here. I think I'm a bit famous. ”

Quite a few people laughed.

'Now I'm at Chelsea, I'm a Chelsea player and to be honest I'm conflicted because Chelsea have always been opponents and every time I've been here. At Stamford Bridge, I had to score a few goals to be comfortable, and many times I did it but I failed once. ”

"I remember that game, it was last year. The score was 0-0 and I didn't score a goal in the whole game. ”

'I remember it because we didn't score in that game and I can say that Chelsea did a great job. I never thought I'd be part of Chelsea one day. ”

'Now I'm at Chelsea and I'm just saying a word to everyone......

Zhang Tiehan was silent for a while before shouting, "Lao Tzu is Zhang Tiehan, from now on, I will represent Chelsea, so those Chelsea opponents, let's prepare quickly." Otherwise, when it's time for the game, I won't show mercy! ”

……

It is estimated that such a sharp speech, that is, Zhang Tiehan, if others say this, they will definitely be attacked to death by the media, but Zhang Tiehan is completely different, the English media have long been accustomed to his style, not to mention, Zhang Tiehan is the best player in the World Cup, if it weren't for England not entering the World Cup finals, and FIFA has to take care of Zidane, who is about to retire, who will win the World Cup Golden Ball.

With the world's Golden Boot and leading LinkedIn Gran to the final four, Zhang Tiehan's popularity among English fans has increased significantly.

No one is absolutely arrogant.

Even those who think this is arrogant will stop thinking, "He's just joking." "Because if they sarcastically ridicule Zhang Tiehan for arrogance, few people will respond.

What the?

You say Zhang Tiehan is too arrogant to speak?

No, no, by no means! What he said was true, have you watched his games? How many goals has he scored in the league? How many goals have been scored in the Champions League? How many goals have been scored in the World Cup? Say that when you score more goals than him!

There must have been a lot of fans arguing for him.

Yes, there is this kind of atmosphere in England now, especially when the World Cup has just ended, even those fans who are not Chelsea have an extremely good impression of Zhang Tiehan, because he is the best player in England, even if he is now a member of Chelsea, but he is an English player after all!

Therefore, various media almost put Zhang Tiehan's speech in the report, but not many media criticized his arrogant remarks.

That's where influence comes in.

If it was a year ago, no, even half a year ago, Zhang Tiehan dared to say this, it is estimated that he would be inundated with all kinds of critical reports, and now, the media not only did not say anything, but also said 'Zhang is very characteristic' and other similar things.

He has a lot of influence, and the media naturally speaks well of him.

In short, the whole welcome ceremony was very successful, and after the welcome ceremony, it also means that Zhang Tiehan has officially joined Chelsea, and he is about to play for Chelsea in the new season.

A few days later, Chelsea's preparations for the new season began. (To be continued......)
