Chapter 277: Sponsors from China
Chapter 277: Sponsors from China
Players such as Wilshere, Mikel Arteta and Theo Walcott, who have been at Arsenal for a long time, are probably still aware of Arsene Wenger's temper, so their fears last night have come true today.
"You had a bad performance in the last league game, although we won against Napoli, but Napoli was not in form in that game and we deserved to win the game. And what kind of team was West Bromwich Albion in the last round, you know very well that we were actually held to a draw by the other side. If you hadn't found your form in time in the second half, we would have lost. West Bromwich Albion are not very strong, but you know what the Premier League is like, unless you are a newcomer who has just joined this summer. In the English top flight, you can't take any opponent lightly, not even the likes of Crystal Palace, who have just been promoted. All in all, you didn't have a good performance in the last round of the league, and you often get distracted in training. So, in order to keep you focused, our coaching staff has negotiated that your leave has been cancelled and your usual training tasks have been doubled from now on, until I think you've recovered enough from your summer vacation to take the new season seriously. 'Arsene Wenger got his squad together early in the morning and released his own arrangements.
The players naturally called it suffering, there is no way, the bitter fruit they planted still have to be eaten by themselves.
And Li Zihan understood why Walcoat told him to stop practicing last night and adjust his body. Because they have already guessed Wenger's "punishment", but what Li Zihan doesn't understand is why coaches like to punish players by doubling their training, and Conte didn't use this trick less when he was at Juventus before
The training plan of Arsenal players is tailored to each player, whether it is technical training or physical fitness, it is arranged according to the physical and technical characteristics of each player.
"Now, if any of you have any opinions, you can bring them up." Arsene Wenger said this very humanely.
Sanogo just wanted to express his opinion, but was pulled by Sania, a fellow Frenchman next to him, and motioned him not to speak.
"Very good, since everyone has no opinion, let's start today's training." After that, Wenger arranged for the coaching staff to come up to help the players train, and of course to monitor the amount of tasks they completed today.
"Hey, why didn't you tell the professor just now, is this doubling of the amount of training a person can bear?" Sanogo asked Sania a little puzzled.
Saña ran her hand through her hair and said, "If you really asked, the amount of training today would not be twice as much." ”
"Eh" watched Sania figure out the head-turning hairstyle, and Sanogo asked in a hot mind: "By the way, Bakari, is your hair real or a wig?" ”
Sania glanced at him, then walked over, the distance between the two was almost face to face, Sanogo didn't understand Sania's eyes.
"Get out of the way!!" Sania almost roared.
Sanogo innocently wiped the saliva from his face with his hands.
"Hahahaha, hey, Bakari, you haven't answered yet, in fact, we want to know too." Apparently the conversation between the two had already been heard by other players, with Arsenal's team-mates heckling together.
At Arsenal, no matter what country you are in, all players must speak English and not their home language in training, in public places, and in the presence of players from other countries. This is Arsene Wenger's rule, and no one including the club's staff is exempt.
So the conversation between Sania and Sanogo was conducted in English and the other players understood it.
"Hey, Bakari, for God's sake, tell us if your hairstyle is real, right?" Even the veteran Rosicky teased Sagna together.
It's good to be with these young people, and I feel like I'm getting younger.
"Thomas (Rosicky), no, no, it should be for Yaya's sake, great Yaya Sanogo! Hahaha" Li Zihan said loudly beside Rosicky, like he was afraid that the players on the pitch would not hear clearly.
"Hahaha," the laughter of the Arsenal team-mates was recalled.
It's just that immediately another voice was not so friendly: "Well, I think you want to triple the training volume, right, what time is it now, and you haven't started training yet!! ”
The voice came from Wenger, and even a fool could hear it, and the professor was very angry, and the consequences were very severe
The Arsenal players immediately scattered.
Just kidding, triple the amount of training? It is estimated that half of the players in the first team will report to the hospital before the next game starts.
But to be honest, Arsenal would have been training three times as much. Even for a player like himself, who is used to high-intensity training, he doesn't want to move when he goes back to bed at night after double training in one day.
Fortunately, Susan was not at home, otherwise Li Zihan would have been allowed to take another shower before he could go to bed, although he had already taken a shower when he left the Kearney training base
Li Zihan was woken up by a phone call at night, and when he answered the phone, he found out that it was Susan calling.
Since Susan went to China, the two of them have been talking on the phone almost every night. Li Zihan came back from training, and there was time in the evening, and the time difference of six or seven hours between the UK and China also gave Susan time after noon.
In fact, Susan didn't just go to visit "a big mountain" comrades in the past few days when she returned to China, but when she stayed at Yiyi's house for a few days and learned that Uncle Yi was fine, Susan began to get busy.
As Li Zihan's agent and the only spokesperson in business at present, Susan doesn't have much time now. After returning to China, she will be responsible for consolidating relationships with previous partners and developing new ones.
It may be difficult for others to open up something, but for Susan it is very simple.
Li Zihan's fame is getting bigger and bigger, especially after joining Arsenal, a century-old traditional giant in the Premier League, which is already known as the world's number one league. In the Champions League, he also has a stable appearance and excellent performance, and now Li Zihan has a faint appearance of the first person in Chinese football, although he is only nineteen years old.
So this situation has attracted many sponsors themselves, especially in the clothing and beverage industries. However, because of the strategic cooperation relationship with the German Puma, Li Zihan, who is a sports brand of clothing and sneakers, cannot endorse other brands. Among the beverages, he has signed a cooperation agreement with the world's first functional drink.
So Susan's task now is to select a few of them from other industries that Li Zihan has not endorsed to negotiate. And she also kept in mind Li Zihan's words, the brand she chooses doesn't have to be big, and the money doesn't have to be much. But the quality and reputation must be excellent.
And after the love words on the other end of the phone, Susan began to talk about work matters, and Susan is still very clear about this aspect, private matters are private matters, but once it comes to work, she is meticulous.
"There is an electronics group company in China that wants to invite you to endorse their new products that have entered the mobile communication products. The company was previously engaged in communication networks, wireless and wired fixed access networks, and of course their core product is terminal technology, providing hardware equipment, software, services and solutions to operators and professional network owners around the world. This is a domestic private enterprise, and its reputation is not bad. The strength is very strong, and in the new issue of Fortune magazine in three months, this company ranked 315th among the world's top 500. According to a report by a market research company, the company has surpassed Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia and Siemens to become the world's second-largest communications equipment manufacturer. ”
"Because of the popularity of Google's open mobile phone system, this company has deeply entered the domestic mobile phone market. And their products are also of high quality and low price and have a good reputation, and the fee they give is 20 million yuan for four years. But South Korea's Samsung Electronics has also found me in this regard, and they are doing a mysterious operation product. At present, they have signed Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney, Gotze, Oscar, Falcao, Shaarawy, Casillas, as well as South Korea's Li Qinglong, China's Wu Lei to star in an advertisement, and there is also the German legend Beckenbauer, known as the emperor of football, and they will pay you two million euros for two years. After Susan finished speaking, she quietly waited for Li Zihan's reply.
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, but Susan did not doubt whether Li Zihan was asleep. Susan, who knows Li Zihan, knows that there are two aspects involved, and Li Zihan is quite focused. One is his professional football, and the other is money.
Susan waited for three minutes before a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Push off Samsung, although they are very famous, they give a lot of money, and their advertising creativity is good, but I tend to Huawei Group." ”
Susan didn't ask why, but asked curiously: "Hey, I didn't say who this company in China is, how do you know it's Huawei?" ”
Li Zihan said with a smile: "I am Chinese, and Chinese still have a little understanding of these Chinese enterprises. ”
"You sue Huawei, I want a four-year contract of 1 million euros a year, about 10 million yuan. And then the creative of the ad should be better, if they are not creative, they can take 200,000 euros out of my 1 million euros a year and go out and hire a few good planners," Li Zihan said jokingly at the end.
"But the price has doubled, will they agree?" Susan asked worriedly.
"Believe me, you have been in Italy for a long time and are not familiar with China. Nowadays, Chinese companies are quite promising, they lack a lot of things, the most powerful of which is the 'ticket' to Europe and the world, and the last thing they lack is money. Huawei is one of those Chinese companies. ”
"You tell them, I can help them connect with the Arsenal club, and Huawei will be the partner of the Arsenal club at that time. If Arsenal win a Champions League title or something in the past few years of cooperation, won't they just let the whole of Europe know about them? This is a good opportunity, and Huawei has a strong foundation in Europe, and with the help of football, they can take their prestige to the next level. Of course, if they're too expensive, then I can't do anything about it. After all, they are poor and only have money left, and what I lack most is money. ”
Susan didn't ask Li Zihan what he wanted to do with that money, and now the club's salary plus bonuses and some other business income, Li Zihan is actually not short of money. But Susan vaguely knew what Li Zihan was going to do, and it would take a lot of money
After further discussing with Li Zihan, the two hung up the phone. Susan also had a cup of afternoon tea with Huawei's strategy manager in the afternoon, while Li Zihan was so tired that he was about to fall asleep after a day of high-intensity training
One was noon, and the other was night, and Li Zihan experienced the pain of Chinese student couples living separately
[I'm going to the stadium to watch Evergrande's game in the evening, and this chapter will be sent early.] Although the Chinese Super League is very pitiful, but after all, it is the Chinese's own league, and it is okay to support it if it can support it as much as possible. I hope that one day Chinese fans will be like England fans, proudly introducing their hometown team to their guests: "This is our team!" ”】
