The Ball at Your Feet

In the match against Malaysia, the Chinese team won a victory without much effort.

Although Zhao Yaning started the game, his performance was mediocre. Although several passes and catches in the midfield showed a different level from others, it can be seen that he did not use his best.

"It can be seen that Zhao Yaning's state is still not adjusted to the best. After all, he has played 50 games in a season, and he is still very tired..." The commentator did not stop talking to Zhao Yaning.

Zhao Yaning himself knew very well that he was too lazy to play well. Against a team of the level of Malaysia, he can win the game even if he doesn't play well. At this time, he still couldn't understand, how did the Olympic team lose? It's really hard for them to be able to release the water in a game that is hard to lose.

Just like Zhao Yaning in this game, he almost didn't run much, he still contributed two assists, and planned a lot of offensives in the midfield, making the team a 4-0 victory.

This is for him now, basically as long as he doesn't use the exciting dribbling to hit the defense line at a high speed, he will basically be considered to be playing indifferently. But Zhao Yaning was not in the mood to do that, and for this kind of team, he didn't have to be so troublesome.

But in this game, he always won. And after that, his domestic affairs, that is, he participated in the shooting of several advertisements in China, and then went to Liverpool to report in July.

In fact, what he reported on was quite troublesome. The Asian Cup competition starts on July 17. If you really make it to the semi-finals as stated, it will end on August 7. Liverpool’s Champions League preliminaries will start at the end of July, and these two games are destined to be missed.

Later, the Premier League kicked off on August 14, and it conflicted with the Olympic schedule. After the group stage, there was a one-week delay. If you qualify for the knockout stage, you may be delayed for two weeks. This is probably not the case for Liverpool. very happy.

But fortunately, he now has the reputation of the Triple Crown. Going to Liverpool to play is considered low. As long as you are more sincere and perform better, Liverpool should not embarrass yourself.

And now at this time, because the European Cup has already begun, Zhao Yaning is also happy to take it easy. He returned to France, and while accompanying Alizee, he was also preparing to participate in the Asian Cup.

On the other hand, he is also reserving his stamina, and at the same time honing his shooting skills to make himself better.

Of course, at the same time, he is also doing some other things. For example, Nike provided him with a new contract, and Adidas also showed the intention of robbing people at this time and also gave him the contract. This time, the contracts on both sides are big enough. After all, he was just a potential trust before, but now he has become a very promising super new star. After winning the Triple Crown, he even jumped to the edge of the football superstar. If you have a molecule and a different identity, you will naturally get a different contract.

Regarding these two contracts, Zhang Yuan's view is to sign Nike instead of switching to Adidas.

"After all, there are fewer people on Nike," Zhang Yuan explained to this question. "Adidas, Qizu, Beckham, Barack, Lampard, Gerrard, Robben and others are all there. It’s not great to put you in. On Nike’s side, there is only Ronaldinho that the midfielder can really get. Figo is old after all. Pirlo is limited by his position and Totti is limited by the club. , There is always no way to become the number one superstar. If you continue to sign with Nike, it will be better for your future business development."

"But on Nike, Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Henry, Adriano... there are a lot of people."

"Most of them are forwards. The focus of the two companies is different. Nike pays more attention to South American stars, some big-name forwards, and some hopeful stars. Like Joaquin, Quaresma, Cristiano Ronaldo , And Robinho of Brazil-they even signed Denilsen before. They pay attention to the excavation and training of young players. You are the earliest and fastest one of the early and unknown players they have collected. If you are willing to continue to renew your contract, then you will definitely be valued.” Zhang Yuan said that, hesitated a bit or continued, “Then there is that your influence in the country is getting bigger and bigger, maybe it really does. Stupid people buy shoes for your name. Nike shoes are cheaper than Adidas. Maybe more people buy them and your name will be louder."

Zhao Yaning nodded, and then remembered something, "It always feels very uncomfortable to let foreigners make our money, Brother Zhang, can you start a factory to make sneakers? Isn't that what Li Ning does?"

When it comes to sneakers, Zhao Yaning always feels very cheating. After all, he is playing football and he knows the actual situation. For most amateur football players, what shoes they wear to play football has little effect. After all, amateur football players will not have too good muscle power and flexibility. Sneakers have the effect of protecting players from injury. Most of them are ineffective. In amateur football, you can feel the grip of the sneakers and the friction on the curve ball at most, and it is hard to feel the more things.

After all, there are not many people like Zhao Yaning who rely on explosive power to play football, and almost every time they start, they will ruin their shoes. Some professional players will change a pair of shoes in a game, not because of their extravagance and waste, but because they have some people. Playing football is indeed Fei shoes. Zhao Yaning now plays football, basically two or three games, and a pair of shoes is scrapped.

Therefore, Zhao Yaning also feels that instead of selling shoes for others, it is better to make shoes and sell them yourself. Anyway, for ordinary people, it is cheaper to make them yourself.

"Is your brain stupid?" Zhang Yuan laughed, "Don't you think about it, are you signing a big company just to sell shoes? Not to mention, Nike and Adidas, the two giants, can provide you with publicity. Has already had an impact on the media, can other companies catch up? They are not just a company that sells shoes."

These problems were something that Zhao Yaning hadn't thought about.

"Also, after winning the Triple Crown, some other companies have also turned to you as an endorsement. I have estimated that your annual income this year, including player contracts, can exceed tens of millions of euros."

This made Zhao Yaning a little surprised. Other things were not rising quickly, and his income jumped sharply... But it is not surprising that many of his contracts are from some domestic state-owned enterprises.

And compared to people who really make more money, what they make is nothing. Beckham's income this year seems to be 26 million euros, which is really profitable.

Zhao Yaning doesn't have Beckham's ability. And the second person who can make money is Ronaldinho. This is also the person he can learn most: if you want money, it is serious to play well.

-----------------------------------

While the European Cup is in full swing, the opening of the transfer market has also plunged Europe into a new round of crazy acquisitions.

This time, Zhao Yaning was leisurely. He has already decided on the transfer, and no matter what the ups and downs are, he doesn't care about his affairs. All the news is fun to him.

First of all, it is the matter of several big clubs changing their coaches one after another. Chelsea fired Ranieri and greeted Mourinho, while Liverpool also bid farewell to Houllier and replaced Benitez.

When the two coaches came to power, they did very different things. Mourinho went directly to the players and warned them: You have nothing, nothing, and I, the best coach in the world, is me under God, and you all have to listen to me!

Such an attitude is really crazy, and it has also caused a voice of crusade in the English media. But thinking about it carefully, what he said is not unreasonable: Chelsea has indeed not had a decent champion for a long time. Although they have money and high salaries, they are touted as one of the strongest teams in Europe, but they look back. Look at the thin honor book... they really don't have anything.

Mourinho's attitude is crazy, but it makes sense to be crazy. This group of guys have already received a high enough salary and enough reputation. The things that ordinary people work hard for a lifetime, they rely on Abu's generosity to get them. If you are not strict with them, they may really have no desires.

Relying on his own rumors to make the team a sense of honor, this coach is still capable.

At the same time, when Benitez came to power, the first problem he faced was also criticized by the media.

Danny Murphy found Benitez and firmly stated that he wanted to play the main force, otherwise he would transfer. And what Benitez did was not to try to keep him, but after a period of thinking, he decided to sell him altogether. At the beginning of his tenure, he sold the players who were in his prime. This approach allowed The English media is also full of accusations. After all, Murphy has played for many years. In many people's minds, he is already an inseparable part of Liverpool. It is really chilling to say that you sell.

In the same period, he was put on the purge list as well as Henjoz and Husky, which made people feel that he was too unsympathetic.

The biggest problem facing Liverpool at this time is obviously also an emotional issue: Michael Owen is still unclear at this time. In an interview, he even publicly stated, “I am happy to renew the contract with Liverpool, but Real Madrid’s invitation , Who can stay unmoved?"

The second half of this remark is true~www.ltnovel.com~ but the first half is happy to renew the contract, but there has been no movement. Real Madrid offered to buy Irving, Liverpool offered 31 million, but Real Madrid directly pressed the price to 15 million. This kind of non-compliance made Liverpool extremely angry and reluctant to talk about it anymore, but when they didn't want to talk about it, Irving finally made a statement, "I hope I can get more honors and I hope to go to a more ambitious club."

At this point, Liverpool finally understood. The reason for Real Madrid's confidence is that Irving has already reached an agreement with Real Madrid, and now it is not necessary to renew the contract to force Liverpool to release. Although Benitez chased all the way to Portugal, hoping to talk to him, but Owen's attitude has long been clear, and it is fundamentally unchangeable.

Although Carragheri stayed, and Figo publicly stated that Real Madrid did not welcome Irving, Irving decided to commit a foul: Go to Real Madrid and win the championship!

And when Liverpool negotiated terms with Real Madrid again, Real Madrid continued to slash: this time they didn’t even give 15 million euros, 12 million euros + Núñez, if you don’t sell it, just wait for Irving’s free transfer next year. .

With such a thing, Liverpool can only lose teeth and swallow blood. Who can blame his own club’s youth captain for doing such a thing?

And this news made Zhao Yaning a man on the cusp once again, and the "Liverpool Echo" directly gave the headline: "We have Zhao Yaning, Owen, let's go all the way!" 》

ps: Briefly talk about Irving's deal at the time. Figo and Carragher’s attitude issues can be traced, and Irving’s speech here quoted his press statement and his autobiography. The transfer details are also the real situation at the time.
