Chapter 61: Umbro
"Damn, Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are, if you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, Lao Tzu will definitely kill you."
Early in the morning, while George was still asleep, the phone at the bedside suddenly rang. George is the kind of person who is woken up while sleeping and has a big temper. Although George knew that someone called him early in the morning, something must have happened, but George was still very upset.
You must know that a professional footballer in the Premier League like George is tired during this time, not only has to participate in various competitions, but also tired because of rumors some time ago. Finally, the rumors were completely resolved in yesterday's game, which calmed the hearts of Liverpool fans, and chatted with Ellie Jie in the evening, so that he could rest in the middle of the night. I was woken up early this morning, and I was definitely in a bad mood.
"I don't care who you are, anyway, if you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, I won't let you go, definitely!" George's head was still asleep on the bed, his right hand was blurry, and he finally touched the phone, picked it up and said.
"O~George, you must know that you are a professional football player, and you are very popular, this time it is me, if others or some interested reporters hear your words, your image will definitely be greatly affected, you should pay attention to this."
"Damn, hurry up, who the hell are you?" Although the voice is a little familiar, George, whose brain is not fully awake at the moment, can't tell who is calling him for a long time.
"Oh my God, I said George, although we rarely keep in touch, you won't forget about me." Hearing George's inquiry, an answer came from the other side of the phone with a very sad tone.
"Hmm!" Hearing the other party's words, George sat up from the bed slowly, thought about it carefully, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Hehe~ Brother Andri, it turned out to be you, I'm sorry, I haven't woken up just now." At this moment, George thought from the other party's voice that this person was his agent who didn't seem to have much contact.
"Oh my God, I really don't know what to say about you, okay, I'm not going to talk a lot of nonsense, this time I'm going to tell you one thing, that is, a large sum of money is placed in front of you, as for whether you want it or not, you see yours."
Hearing the words of the agent Andri, George suddenly came to his senses, you must know that George is very eager to get a sports car, but the bad George is not eye-catching, and the good one has no money. Now hearing the words of the agent Andri, George immediately said: "If you want, why not, you don't know, I was poor and died during this time, why don't I want money now, you tell me, what is going on." ”
"Hehe, that's right, do you know Umbro, um~ yes, it's our biggest sports brand in the UK, ready to sponsor you, the most important thing is that your performance during this period is very good, of course, not only you, but also your good buddy Gerrard, this time Umbro is looking for the two of you. As for the content of the contract, I don't know yet, I called you when I got the news and wanted to ask what you mean, and if you wanted, then I would go and talk to Umbro. ”
"Umbro!" George muttered that for an Englishman, I'm afraid no one doesn't know Umbro, you must know that Umbro is a British domestic sports brand, and its status is the same as China's Li Ning. The British are particularly fond of Umbro, and even the world's giants Adidas and Nike cannot catch up with Umbro's status in the UK. And the sponsor of the English national football team has always been Umbro.
"Umbro, I know, I think Umbro is very good, I would love to take this contract. But at present, our Liverpool sporting goods sponsor seems to be Germany's Adidas, if I take over the sports brand of Umbro, I wonder if there will be a conflict with Adidas? After thinking about it carefully, George asked.
"Hehe, you can rest assured of this, you must know that Umbro is looking for you and Steven this time, not the whole of Liverpool. You're in Liverpool, the shirt you wear for the game has the Adidas logo on it, the training jersey is all provided by Adidas, it doesn't matter. You must know that Umbro is only targeting you and Steven, not the whole of Liverpool, in short, there is no big conflict, and you must know that your good friend Michael is also currently the sponsor of Umbro. ”
Hearing Andri's words, George suddenly remembered that his good buddy seemed to be also Umbro's person, thinking of this, George continued to ask: "So what do I need to do to take this contract?" ”
"It's nothing, it's simple, it's like being an image spokesperson, maybe a little bit of a little detail, but it doesn't matter. In short, you can rest assured, whether it is Adidas or your club, you can't influence your decision, because it's just your personal matter and it won't affect the club in any way. ”
"Since that's the case, then I'll agree, you can help me talk to Umbro about the details, and I'll call Steven right now to ask what he means."
"OK~ Since you nodded, then things are much easier, don't worry, I will definitely get an excellent contract for you, you just wait for my good news." Andriy is also the kind of person who can't sit still, and when he saw that George agreed, he didn't say anything polite, and hung up the phone directly, apparently preparing to talk to the person in charge of Umbro.
The phone had hung up, and George was still sitting on the bed stupidly, because George never imagined that Umbro, the UK's largest sports brand, would find him, and he wanted to know how old he was now, and Umbro was so relieved. You must know that there are many stars in the Premier League, and if you find one casually, I am afraid it will not be worse than yourself.
George guessed wrong, in fact, even George himself doesn't know how popular he is in the UK at the moment, you must know that this season, with George's excellent performance, plus a national team once, and handsome appearance, has gained huge popularity, and its popularity has even surpassed Liverpool's darling Owen.
Umbro found George naturally for the same reason, and this is not because Umbro doesn't want to find other stars, but the problem is that Beckham, Keane, Vieira, Bergkamp and other big-name stars have long been divided by Adidas and Nike. Umbro also has no choice but to find another goal, and this season has an excellent performance, the popularity is also very high, the handsome and dashing George, naturally entered Umbro's sight, this scene will appear.
"No matter!" I can't figure out why, George is too lazy to think about it, in short, George understands that this time Umbro has indeed found himself, because for his agent Andri, although George does not often chat with Andri, he is also very clear about Andri's character and personality, and will never joke with himself about these things.
Thinking of this, George reacted that he still had to call Gerald, so he quickly dialed the number and waited for Gerald to answer the phone.
"Steven, I just got a call from my agent saying that Umbro wants to sponsor me, but it's not just me, it's you, have you received the message? What do you mean, to take this contract or not? ”
As soon as the phone was connected, George couldn't help but speak first without waiting for Gerald to speak.
"Hehe, I know, I just found out about the news, and I was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call. I've asked my agent to talk to Umbro about this contract, you know, this is Umbro, why don't you take it, did you take it? ”
Hearing George's words, Gerald replied with a smile. Because although George grew up in England, his soul is still Chinese, and he will never be able to appreciate the British love for Umbro.
"Hehe, I took it too, I really can't think of a reason for me to refuse." Hearing Gerald say that he had taken it, George also smiled and said.
"Haha, now it's okay, plus Michael, who is one step ahead of us, all three of us brothers have become Umbro's people."
"Yes, our three brothers have come all the way from the youth team, no matter what we do, we must be together." Hearing Gerald's words, George replied with a smile.
