Chapter 157: This Is the Future!

The 2006 World Cup in Germany is over, from the start to the final battle for a total of one month, plus more than half a month before the start of the game, a month and a half, many teams, players and other relevant people, have appeared on the page of media reports, when the vast majority of them, have become 'passers-by', when their team leaves the World Cup, when they no longer have a place to attract attention, it is difficult to find news about them in the media.

The only person who has been paid attention to by the media from the beginning to the end of the game is only one person, and that is Wansheng.

A month before the start of the World Cup, Wan Sheng was in the spotlight in the media.

At that time, Wan Sheng had just led Manchester City to win the 2005-2006 Premier League title, and it was not surprising that he became the focus of the media, and the world media had already focused on the World Cup, and the 32 teams were all paid attention to.

After that, Wansheng and Murdoch's little princess Anita made their relationship public, which was reported by many entertainment media, and then the professional paper on kinesiology was published in the "New England Journal of Medicine", which was praised by many medical experts.

After that, Wan Sheng was still the focus, and his comments on the England team, and his predictions for the Italian team and the French team all came true one by one.

These brought a great harvest of fame to Wansheng.

Wansheng has not led the team to participate in the Champions League, and many fans who don't pay attention to the Premier League actually don't know Wansheng, maybe they don't care about it when they hear this name, but after this World Cup, the number of people who know Wansheng's name is at least doubled, because no matter what the media in any country, Wansheng's name will be mentioned to some extent.

He had a very good harvest in fame. So much so that Nike, which has been trying to sign him, directly raised the price to 5 million euros a year after the competition between Italy and France, this offer made Wansheng moved, Kevin Tagore also agreed to Nike's offer after thinking about it, and the two sides quickly finalized a two-year endorsement contract.

Nike is very pleased with this contract.

Although the endorsement fee of 5 million euros a year is a bit high, and even catches up with some big NBA stars, Wansheng's current fame is not much worse than that of NBA stars. Especially in Europe, ordinary fans may not know who the 'big shark' O'Neill is, but they must know that Manchester City's manager is Wansheng.

But this kind of fame is also not guaranteed, professional players will also be unable to appear in the media for a period of time due to injuries and other reasons, let alone football coaches, and some of Wansheng's fame comes from his prediction of the game, he is not the kind of idol star, so his fame cannot be guaranteed. Then a two-year contract would be very reasonable.

After two years, Wansheng's reputation is still very high, and they can choose to renew the contract, otherwise the contract will be terminated after two years.

Wansheng's considerations are diametrically opposed.

He didn't think at all that two years later. His reputation will decline, he has confidence in his coaching ability, and then his reputation will only go up, not down, and then it will be more than 5 million euros a year. It may be higher, so a two-year contract is advantageous, and a long-term contract constrains the cost increase.

And so the contract between the two parties was reached. After that, Wansheng had to cooperate with Nike to do publicity twice a year, shoot two commercials, wear clothes with the Nike logo during weekday competitions, and Nike would give Wansheng 5 million euros in endorsement fees every year.

The rise of Wansheng's fame can bring more than one sports brand endorsement, there are also large enterprises in other industries, there is also a trend of inquiry, they also want Wansheng to endorse their own brand to try the effect, especially those companies that want to enter the European market, looking for an influential star as an endorsement is the most important choice, Wansheng is very in line with this image.

Although Italy has just won the World Cup, most of the stars of the Italian team have a lot of contracts, and Wan Sheng is definitely an 'icon' star compared to Italian coach Lippi.

In the end, Wansheng has become a fragrant glutton.

In addition to the benefits of fame, that is the direct monetary gains, this aspect is betting, there are many ways to bet, Wansheng will not give up this opportunity, he made the largest personal bet before the start of the World Cup, pressed on the Italian championship, and also pressed the top four teams and some single-game betting, personal betting has an upper limit, the odds of the Italian team winning the championship are not high, but all together, he still has more than one million pounds of income, plus the World Cup halfway, Wansheng was a guest on Sky TV, As a guest at Salary Wave Sports, the two together also have nearly a million pounds, which means that from mid-May to early July, Wan Sheng spent most of his time with Anita, but his personal direct income is still nearly 2 million pounds.

In addition to fame and monetary gains, in terms of scientific research, Wansheng's research also has a certain influence.

This can't bring direct money, but it is something that Wansheng attaches great importance to, after all, it is his own hard work for more than two years, and the affirmation of many medical experts also makes him very pleased.

There has also been a lot of media coverage in this regard.

Some professional media generally analyze the content of the research, what the in-depth research will bring, or what kind of impact the research will bring to the future development of sports medicine.

In fact, only professionals will pay attention to these professional things, and most people pay attention to the people who study them, that is, Wansheng.

A scientific researcher who has made a huge breakthrough in science is actually not a prominent thing in modern times, because every year there are many genius scientists who will make some surprising research and make surprising breakthroughs.

A football coach who has led the team to win the Premier League championship for two consecutive years is actually nothing, and everyone will praise the coach's ability at most, and that's all. With one less successful coach, the earth can still turn, and with one more successful coach, the world will still be the world.

But when both successes are placed on a young man under the age of thirty, it is enough to make everyone look at and be amazed.

At this time, even those hostile media, when talking about Wansheng, have to mention an evaluation - 'genius'!

"He's really a genius. It's hard for me to imagine that a football coach can make great progress in scientific research......"

"Whether it's research or football coaching, it's very difficult to achieve success before the age of 30, but he did it all."

"The most important thing is his age!"

"I really want to get to know him, to see if he has an extra head than me......"

"I think he should focus on one thing, either as a football coach or as a football coach......"

"He didn't choose to enter the British Academy of Sciences, which is a loss for the British scientific community!"

"It's hard to imagine that he would do research. And with a certain success. Football coaching is a very demanding job and a very challenging job, especially when leading a top league team like Manchester City, who won the league title last season, which is quite successful, but it also means that he has to spend most of his energy on his work......"

"All I can say is that he's a genius!"

“……”

Wan Sheng is a little used to being called a 'genius', and he actually doesn't like this title very much. But the European media really lack the words to praise people, and they can only repeat the same words over and over again.

It's good to be complimented, of course, but it's like that, and it doesn't bring anything to itself.

Wan Sheng didn't pay much attention to what the media said. After the World Cup in Germany, he invited Lippi to visit Berlin with him, and by the way, he discussed his coaching experience with each other, and then. He returned to England with Anita.

Anita went to London, while Wan Sheng went straight back to Manchester, and the two were reluctant to part at the London airport.

"I know you're busy. I'll see you next month. Anita says she's going to continue her education at University College London.

Wan Sheng scratched her little nose and said, "I'll go see you, before next month comes." ”

It's a convention, but it's also a fact.

In the run-up to the new season, Manchester City will have to lead the team in a couple of warm-up games, so it is no surprise that they will play against the London side.

Anita smiled with satisfaction.

Then the two hugged for a long time and talked a lot of private words to each other before Wan Sheng stepped on the plane to Manchester.

Back in Manchester, Wan Sheng also let out a long breath.

Although the relationship with Anita is very sweet, as a man, staying together for a long time will occasionally want to be alone, and when he is alone, his mind will be very calm, and his life will be a lot more casual, so it feels good to be separated occasionally.

The next day, he began to put all his energy into his work.

Manchester City's transfer work has been carried out in an orderly manner, Downing's transfer has been finalized, due to the early elimination of England by Portugal, Downing has come to Manchester City for a medical examination, and the club also held a grand signing ceremony for him.

Then Ozil also came, and as a young man with little reputation, he was not treated like Downing.

However, the Manchester City club has done a good job, Ozil has been arranged to live close to the training base, and the club has also hired an interpreter for him, so he can enter the training base at will these days to train and familiarize himself.

Wan Sheng returned to Manchester, and his first job was to urge the club to sign Boateng quickly.

The German player with Ghanaian roots is still very important to Wan Sheng, and he believes that Boateng will be a strong addition to Manchester City's defence in the next two years.

At this time, Boateng was still playing for Hertha Berlin Juniors, he has become a well-known young talent in the team, Hertha Berlin values him very much, and even someone in the club has told Boateng that he may be mentioned to the first team in the new season, which is very exciting news for Boateng at only 18 years old.

At the same time, Boateng's name as a genius spread throughout Berlin.

Many people may think that 18-year-old players have not yet played famous, and they are no longer considered geniuses, but in fact, defenders are different from the frontcourt, defenders not only need ability, but also need experience, and few outstanding defenders are famous at a young age, such as now Manchester City's Copelle Ferreira, he is also 24 years later, and Robert Carlos, a famous Brazilian fullback and one of Real Madrid's superstars, at the age of 20, he was playing for Palmeiras, and no one knew his name at all, Even Rio Ferdinand, who became famous at a young age, only made a name for himself after the age of 19, and only entered the England team at the age of 20, and in the '98 World Cup, he was only a member of the England team's 'sightseeing group', and he did not get even a minute of playing time at all.

So, for a defender, being a key target at the age of 18 and potentially dropping to the first team to go to the top professional league is already quite remarkable.

Boateng is such a talent, and because of this, it is not easy to get him, and Hertha Berlin will not sell their talent easily.

However, there is no non-sale in professional football, not to mention, there are three parties to a transfer, after the 'Bosman' bill, the opinions of the players have become the top priority, Hertha Berlin refuses to sell Boateng, but if Boateng wants to leave, they can't stop it at all.

Wan Sheng started the transfer from this aspect, and he directly called Boateng's agent, Nobauer.

Nobbauer knew that Boateng was a genius, that he had a broad future and that he could occupy a place in the top league with minimal achievements, but he was immediately surprised when he heard the voice on the phone report his home.

He knows that some clubs are playing Boateng recently, and has also submitted a good offer to Hertha Berlin, including German teams and foreign teams, Manchester City is also one of them, but he does not think of the Manchester City club manager, but feels that Manchester City is just optimistic about Boateng's potential and wants to buy it to supplement the youth team.

So Nobbor didn't take it to heart, he didn't expect the Manchester City manager, the young Chinese who had recently made a name for himself, to call.

Could it be that this Chinese wants to get Boateng?

Nobauer's heart immediately burned up.

As a professional football agent, people in this industry have a deep understanding of European football, and they naturally know that Wansheng is in the means and ability to cultivate young people.

If Boateng goes to Manchester City and is trained by that Chinese focus...... That's unimaginable!

Maybe in a few years Boateng will be selected for the German national team and become a star at the German international level?

Nobauer was immediately moved.

Then Nobauer called Boateng and told him the good news.

Boateng had never thought of leaving before, he was originally the focus of Hertha Berlin FC's training, and he was more likely to enter the first team next season, and his future was bright, but after listening to Nobauer's words, he immediately felt that leaving was the best option.

Go to the Premier League, go to Manchester City, join a team that can participate in the Champions League, and coach under a coach who is good at developing young people, this is called the future, this is called brightness! (To be continued.) )
