Grassroots Glory

Vol 2 Chapter 89: Training: Warm up Germany

The day after the end of the season, Zhou Tiancheng received a call from his agent Petroka.

   was surprised when he saw the call. He originally thought that the first call he received should be congratulated by Chu Yunling or his father. But surprised, he was connected as soon as possible.

   "Good morning, Zhou, I hope you haven't disturbed your dreams so early."

   "Do professional players feel so much? Peter, call me early in the morning. Is something wrong?"

  Lorca smiled over the phone: "Yes! Of course, congratulations on winning the championship. Is there any news that has more influence than this?"

   "Oh, we have already determined to win the championship, are you calling now?" Zhou Tiancheng pretended to be dissatisfied.

Roca whispered: "Oh, Zhou, forgive me, I was really too busy a few days ago. You know, as a free agent, I also want to eat, there is no backstage, and the players are all on their own... hey, To tell you the good news, your name is really working right now, as long as I say it is your agent, the conversation is much smoother. I have a feeling of holding my thighs!"

   "Haha! Maybe in the future you will find that as long as I am there, your rice bowl will not be a problem."

  Zhou Tiancheng is still a little happy. It seems that his own reputation penetration is not low, and it can play such an effect in the minds of young people of the same age.

   Pauses, he thought of something at once, and asked: "No, Peter, you called so early, should there be anything else?"

   There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before Loka slowly said: "Sure enough, you can't hide you, good players are by no means well-developed. Zhou, you will really become a top player in the future..."

   "Say the key!" Zhou Tiancheng interrupted directly.

   Loka coughed and finally entered the topic: "Zhou, there is now an advertising endorsement opportunity near the water tower. You should seriously consider it."

   "Endorsement advertisement? Which one?" Zhou Tiancheng thought if it was an unknown small business, then forget it. Maybe he was looking at himself a little famous now and borrowed his own hype.

   But Roca's answer surprised him: "Your Schalke jersey sponsor, the world's top sports brand, Adidas!"

   "Peter, is this true? Adidas will come to me? Their signing stars, whether they are big names in sports or entertainment, are much more famous than me."

Loka smiled: "Yes, I know that you have a lot of big names in the Chinese entertainment industry who are also under their banner. And indeed, as you said, they are more famous than you. They are more under their banner, but you are a special case! In football On the level, you are the only person in China who has gained popularity in the top European leagues. Signing you, how effective is this advertising effect for attracting huge Chinese fans? Did you know that Adi is a sports brand after all, signing the potential of China today Stars are more useful than signing an entertainment star, they are not stupid."

  Zhou Tiancheng seemed to make sense, and believed in seven or eight points: "They said so to you?"

"I guess... but the truth is sure that it will not be too far. After all, I am also a businessman. They want to meet with you these days and take advantage of the popularity of the championship to finalize it as soon as possible. Zhou, listen to me Don’t hesitate, don’t neglect the role of off-site packaging. The real top stars, like Ronaldo and Messi, have more advertising endorsements than they earn from playing football!” Loca is afraid that Zhou Tiancheng will miss this mistake. A once in a lifetime opportunity. In that case, as a broker, he would have a bad commission.

  Zhou Tiancheng listened to his tone and knew how anxious he was. He quietly replied in my heart that I was not bad. Of course, on the surface, he still has a legitimate reason: "Not in these days, I just received the training notice of the Chinese team, and I will soon go back to China to play warm-up match."

   "How long? Where? With whom?" Loka asked three questions in a row.

   "On the 29th of the month, Shanghai, warmed up with the German team."

Roca suddenly exclaimed: "Haha, great! Zhou, Germany is a world-class team, you must play well, I will let them watch you play on the spot, this is a chance to add points, Zhou, grasp Live, you won’t regret it!"

   "Hey!" Zhou Tiancheng is quite speechless, who is the employer?

  Even if Adidas is very attractive, is it a bit ugly to eat?

  ……

   After the league, only one day off, Zhou Tiancheng took the flight to Shanghai, China.

  To tell the truth, when he received the national team training notice, this FIFA international competition day, it was unexpected to warm up with the German team.

  With the strength of the Chinese team, how to invite such high-end opponents as Germany?

   And domestically, the media and fans are naturally self-evident to this warm-up match.

  According to the latest national team ranking announced by FIFA in April 2009, the German team ranks second in the world, while the Chinese team ranks sixth in Asia and 97th in the world.

   This gap... is no longer a gap, at least two Mariana trenches are different!

   But the Chinese media saw a welcome signal that the quality of the national team’s current warm-up opponents has improved. In the past, warm-up matches were for Syria, Bahrain and even Botswana~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But after taking over, Gao Hongbo just warmed up with Iran at the beginning of the year, and now he has found the German team. Warm-up quality is totally different!

  New handsome new weather. It's no wonder that the media has gradually blamed the new national football team. It's the attitude you want to improve against the strong hand.

   For the results, the media rarely sees it lightly. Even with Zhou Tiancheng, no one expected the national team to overturn the German tanks. However, all parties are interested in the game.

   This German team coming to China, Loew brought all the main forces that can be selected. Including the core of Schweinsteiger, Ram, Podolsky. But without exception, they are all defeated by Zhou Tiancheng's men in the Bundesliga!

  Now it's time to change the battlefield and try again. The winning and losing geometry is quite impressive.

   In addition, Zhou Tiancheng's teammates such as Neuer and Kuranyi will be the opponents and Zhou Tian's turnover. This kind of drama of fighting with each other is the media's favorite.

   The importance of this game is obviously higher than the average warm-up game. Even outside Shanghai Pudong Airport, posters featuring Zhou Tian as the protagonist were displayed. What I don’t know is that immediately the Chinese team will play the World Cup group match with Germany.

Fortunately, Zhou Tiancheng was well prepared. The enthusiasm of the media and fans really surprised him when he returned to China last time, so this time he put on sunglasses and took a non-direct flight. He transferred a plane in Dubai. Reduced the possibility of flight arrival time being known to the outside world.

  Zhou Tiancheng always regards himself as a professional player, not a star. He came back to the country to play, not to show the catwalk. He was really overwhelmed by the kind of attention that was always surrounded by people.
