After the 5-0 home win over Consadole Sapporo, the whole team of Tokyo FC was very happy, Bobovic took a day off directly, and the recent schedule has been tight, and he needs to rest psychologically or physically.

After a day off, Ringer naturally invited the young lady to play.

"This is a ticket for our home stadium in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, and if you reach the final, I will give you a ticket for the final." Ringer handed over the ticket to the young lady for the AFC Champions League home in midweek.

"Lin Jun, thank you."

The two prepared lunch together in the apartment and took a nap together, a rare scene of harmony. The main thing is that Ringer has to maintain his form and not mess around, and if he doesn't play a good game in the final stage of the season, it may affect the ownership of the championship.

In the evening, Ringer sent the young lady back, and the family will attend the event early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, while Ringer was still sleeping, he received a call from Crot: "Lin, are you up?" I'm outside your door. ”

"Thomas, when did you come back to Japan?" Ringer opened the door sleepily.

"I came back last night, and I knew that your training today was scheduled for the afternoon, so I came over in advance and told you about it."

"Say what?"

"Of course it's your move to Europe."

Hearing Krott say this, Ringer came to the spirit.

"To be honest, there are a lot of teams in the Bundesliga who are interested in you, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04, they all expressed interest in you, and you have been doing really well lately, leading the team to both the domestic league and the continental cup, and these feedback to Europe, they are all interested in your performance."

"What about Arsenal?" Ringer couldn't help but think of Arsenal, the first European giant to have an affair with him.

"Arsenal are really interested in you, and after knowing your wishes, I spoke to Arsenal and they are really interested in you, but they are not willing to apply for the genius clause for you. They want to bring you in and then send you out on loan for a while, preferably back to the Super League. ”

Ringer didn't say anything, but thought in his heart: Loan back to the Chinese Super League to play? Then I will transfer to Europe and transfer directly back to the Chinese Super League, so that I can get a super sky-high salary contract.

As Ringer led Tokyo FC to continue to soar in the AFC Champions League, there was news from the Chinese Super League, it is said that Evergrande and Guoan clubs said that as long as Ringer is willing to go back, he can be given a super high salary equivalent to the top foreign aid.

"Don't think about Arsenal." Krot continued: "During my time in Europe, I helped you connect with Adidas. ”

"Adidas?"

"Yes, Adidas is very interested in your sneaker contract. You are a Chinese player, arguably the best Chinese player at the moment, China is the biggest market in the world, and of course they are interested in you. ”

In fact, since Ringer became famous, there have always been sports brands that want to sign him, especially domestic sports brands in China, but Krott has been dealing with them all the time, and there is no substantive negotiation, just to let Ringer sign international brands.

Now that he has finally caught up with Adi, Krot is still very happy.

"How big of a contract are they willing to give?" Ringer is still more concerned about money.

"Although there is a bonus to the Chinese market, your fame is really not big, and the price in their hearts should not exceed 1 million euros."

At 1 million euros a year, this contract is indeed not big, but it is not small in football.

The most famous talent player in football today, Brazilian genius Neymar, led the Brazilian team to an 8-0 bloody defeat of the Chinese team only two months ago. Such a talented player in Brazil after Pele, who is still playing in Brazil, has already entered the list of Ballon d'Or this year, while Ringer can only run for Asian Footballer of the Year, and geniuses such as Neymar can only get $1 million a year from Nike.

Krot said 1 million euros, but in fact it was still high.

At present, the biggest shoe contract in football is David Beckham, who can get about $12 million a year from Adi, and then there is Cristiano Ronaldo, who can get about $800 a year from Nike.

It doesn't seem like a big contract, especially when compared to those NBA stars, which is more than half the difference on average. The most famous stars in the NBA have to take more than 20 million sneakers at every turn.

This is due to the difference in the style of basketball and football.

In basketball, the role of the star is much greater, and in football, the star is also important, but it is always at the service of the team.

In contrast, in the NBA, when a team's star and head coach have a conflict, most of the time it is the coach who gets out; In European football, in the same situation, most of the stars are driven away and the coach stays.

Of course, except for stars of Ronaldo and Messi.

This difference makes the bonus effect of the star on the sales of sports equipment also different.

When buying basketball equipment, everyone is more likely to go for the stars, such as James's shoes, Kobe's boots, and football equipment, everyone cares more about the club brand, Real Madrid's jersey, and Manchester United's scarf.

This difference makes the star in basketball play the biggest role in promoting the sales of sports equipment, while the club brand in football is the biggest promotion of sports equipment sales.

Therefore, the shoe contract of football stars is completely inferior to that of NBA stars, but the jersey sponsorship of football clubs can easily get big contracts, and Barcelona Real Madrid can get tens of millions of euros from Nike Adi every year, and even 100 million euros in two years, which is completely impossible in NBA teams.

The NBA's jersey sponsorship is packaged, a total of 30 teams in the NBA are packaged, and in 2015, Nike's package was only $40 million a year, and any European giant can beat them.

So in general, if Ringer can really get a 1 million euro sneaker contract from Adi, it is definitely Adi who is optimistic about him.

"But Adi still has one more demand, they want you to move to Europe as soon as possible, which has a direct impact on the contract negotiations." Krot made another point.

"Thomas, I think we should think about adding some bonus clauses to the contract, such as being named Asian Footballer of the Year, for example, being selected in the top 10 of the Ballon d'Or in the future." Ringer spoke his mind.

The reason why there is such an idea, the main reason is that the deadline for sneakers and the same will not be short, and now that I have signed the contract, I am afraid that I will achieve more in the future and feel that I will lose money, so if I don't sign now, I will get a year less money if I delay it for one more year.

"Well, don't worry, I'll consider this."

"Nike no one contacted you?" Ringer thought that Adi was interested in him, and Nike should do something about it.

"No one has contacted me at Nike, and in the past two years, there has been another powerful sports athlete in China, also under Nike, plus the original Liu Xiang, Nike probably can't be busy." Krott said.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been three representative figures in China's sports circles, the earliest Da Yao, the later Liu Xiang, and the current Li Na, who are the representatives of the Chinese sports circles in different periods.

Although Da Yao has been famous in the domestic basketball industry for a long time, he has not become the champion in the NBA draft in 02, the first non-American NBA champion, and has been a representative of Chinese sports for a long time.

At the 04 Athens Olympics, Liu Xiang was born, breaking the Olympic record and winning the championship, the first yellow race to win the championship in the sprint event, and since then he has started his road to Chinese flying.

In 09, Li Na broke up with the Tennis Management Center under the Sports Bureau and became the first athlete to fly solo from the Chinese system, and since then she has also started her personal high-flying road. In 11 years, Li Na reached two Grand Slam finals, becoming the first Asian tennis player to win a Grand Slam singles title, and she is now a representative of Chinese sports.

Da Yao, to Liu Xiang, and then to Li Na, they are representatives of Chinese sports in different periods, representing the highest achievements of Chinese sports.

However, Ringer knows that after Li Na retired in 2014, there was no such representative figure in Chinese sports.

It is worth mentioning that the three representatives of Chinese sports, Liu Xiang and Li Na, are all Nike athletes, who have helped Nike greatly develop the Chinese market. Although Liu Xiang is now on the verge of retirement, his influence is still there, and Li Na is the hottest time, and Nike may not be able to take care of Ringer, a newly rising little man, for the time being.

"Lin, you don't have to envy them, I believe in you, you will become the next representative of Chinese sports." Krot seemed to be afraid that Ringer would think too much, and comforted him: "But there is one thing I want to tell you, do you have a girlfriend?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Ringer is very strange, he has never told Crot about this, he is an athlete, not a movie star, and he doesn't have to report to his agent when he falls in love, how does Krot know about this guy?

"When I first came to look for you, there were several reporters outside who wanted to come in and interview you, but they were stopped by the security guards. I made a special inquiry because you had an affair with a certain Japanese actress. ”
