Chapter 795 Martin O'Neill?I am not familiar with him (Second update, asking for a monthly ticket)
Chen Yingxiong spent his vacation with Cabrera and had a great time. They went to South America for vacation.There, the two of them had a good time without being disturbed.

He then sent Cabrera back to Italy, where Cabrera's vacation was shorter than his.Flying back to China from Italy, Chen Yingxiong first went to Shanghai. As the owner of "HERO" Clothing Co., Ltd., he always wanted to inspect his own business.

By the way, I had a short reunion with my parents, then went to BJ and TCL to sign an endorsement contract, and at the same time attended a commercial event prepared by Nike for him - "face to face with heroes". The young players selected from all over the country will be in BJ and TCL Chen Yingxiong spent a four-day training camp together.During these four days, Chen Yingxiong ate and lived with the young players, taught them how to play football, and played with them.

In the end, the two lucky ones who performed the best in the training camp will get the opportunity to watch Chen Yingxiong play live in Liverpool.

At the same time, Chen Yingxiong also shoulders another task, which is to bridge Liverpool Club and Nike.

As early as a season ago, due to Liverpool's unsatisfactory performance, they did not even qualify for the European War, and the team was in a precarious situation.At this time, Adidas made trouble again, and planned to stop sponsoring Liverpool's sports equipment after their sponsorship contract with Liverpool expired.Liverpool had to find another sponsor.

For a giant like Liverpool, it is obviously a humiliation to be canceled by the main sponsor.Generally speaking, jersey sponsors are different from other sponsors, and they will be changed very easily. Often, a cooperation is remembered for ten years.For example, Adidas sponsors Real Madrid and AC Milan, and Nike sponsors Barcelona and Manchester United. How many seasons has it been?

What's more, the reason why Adidas canceled the continued sponsorship was that Liverpool's performance was too poor and their performance did not conform to their brand image.

This is simply a naked slap in the face... But Liverpool at that time did not have a convincing performance that made people complain about them, so I had to swallow this tone.

Unexpectedly, not long after this decision was made, the news of Chen Yingxiong's transfer to Liverpool spread. Adidas immediately understood what would happen to Liverpool if they had Chen Yingxiong.They had already missed an opportunity to sign with Chen Yingxiong before, because Chen Yingxiong was not well-known at the time, and his agent's asking price was too high, and they thought it was not worth it.But then Chen Yingxiong's performance was like a slap in the face, constantly slapping them in the face.

At this time, Adidas regretted everything.

Now that Chen Yingxiong is going to transfer to Liverpool, even if they can't sign a contract with Chen Yingxiong, they can use other methods to take advantage of the star's influence and fame.For example, if you sponsor Liverpool, doesn't Chen Yingxiong still have to wear an Adidas jersey to participate in every game?This also helped promote the Adidas brand.

Maybe they can also use the opportunity of cooperation with Liverpool Club to poach Chen Yingxiong from the Nike camp?
So Adidas found Liverpool again and planned to sign a new five-year contract with them.

Although Adidas did not say that they came for Chen Yingxiong, Niang, who was in charge of this matter, was not an idiot. He knew that if Chen Yingxiong was not there, Adidas would not change their minds.

To put it bluntly, what people value is Chen Yingxiong, not our Liverpool.

This is the second humiliation.

After the first humiliation, Niang has made up his mind, at least in his own office, he will not sign any more cooperation agreements with Adidas.

So he turned down Adidas without hesitation.

He would rather look for sponsors again than accept Adidas's cheap food.

Adidas touched his nose, but shrank back helplessly and unwillingly.

Niang began to look for jersey sponsors again.

In the end, the partnership between Chen Yingxiong and Nike played a key role. Nike took the initiative to approach Liverpool through Chen Yingxiong and told Niang that they could sponsor Liverpool's jerseys.

But the premise of this contract is that as long as Chen Yingxiong is in the team, they will continue to sponsor. If Chen Yingxiong transfers, they will also suspend the sponsorship.

They still came for Chen Yingxiong, but the conditions they proposed were much more acceptable than Adidas.Niang also makes no sense, because in at least five years, he is confident that Chen Yingxiong will stay in Liverpool.

In this way, the two parties began to discuss the specific matters of cooperation.

This time Chen Yingxiong is in BJ, in fact, he is attending the signing ceremony of Nike's sponsorship of Liverpool.At the same time, as the first project of cooperation between Liverpool and Nike, it is also the first step for Liverpool to explore the Chinese market. The first Liverpool peripheral product franchise store will also open in BJ. This store sells various styles of Liverpool jerseys, training clothes, Sports suits, scarves, gloves, hats, teacups... All kinds of things that are closely related to life are sold here, but they must be marked with the Liverpool team logo.Chen Yingxiong and the team's general manager Niang will also be present to congratulate.

In the new season, Liverpool will wear Nike-sponsored jerseys in the Premier League.

Nike is very happy to be able to snatch the sponsorship rights of Liverpool from Adidas, but Adidas who gave up voluntarily must regret it... They have already missed Chen Yingxiong once, and fell into the same pit again this time. It is decayed.

When BJ participates in various business activities, interviews by reporters are also essential, and Chen Yingxiong participated in no less than three press conferences alone.At the press conference, Chen Yingxiong was asked the most questions about his evaluation of the two head coaches.

It sounds normal. The media have to use this method to understand the evaluation of the two coaches in the eyes of the players, but in fact this is a question that sows discord. If you say good things to the predecessor, what will the current one think?If you praise and welcome your incumbent, will it give people a feeling of "ungrateful" and "people leave tea cold", which is too snobbish and despised by others.But today's players have learned to master it, and both sides have already done it well, so this kind of problem is often a mere formality, and it really only becomes an ordinary problem.

But always have to ask.

What's more, the object of the question is Chen Erbi, who has a big mouth and a heartless heart?Maybe there will be unexpected gains.

What a surprise.

"... Dalglish was a good manager, it was just bad luck to end get out of class... We all miss him a lot, as a legend of the club, he did everything he could for the team... I am very sorry to be in I was suspended for six games when he needed it the most, it didn't help..."

Niang, who was sitting next to Chen Yingxiong, smiled wryly in his heart.He knew that Chen Yingxiong had some opinions on his dismissal of Dalglish, but there was no way, he didn't expect Chen Yingxiong to understand this kind of thing.Chen Yingxiong values ​​loyalty, he treats whoever treats him well, otherwise how could they get him to Liverpool?Therefore, now he has to bear the negative impact of his loyalty...

"I think I'll miss him a lot."

The reporters were happy - finally a fish was hooked!

Hurry up and strike while the iron is hot!
"If you don't get a six-match ban, does Dalglish get out of class?"

This time, Chen Yingxiong didn't go too far, he shook his head: "I don't know."

It's somewhat regrettable that Chen Yingxiong didn't fall into the pit, but it doesn't matter, this is not the only question prepared by the reporters.

"Then what do you think of the new head coach Martin O'Neill? Can he lead Liverpool back to the position people expect?"

Chen Yingxiong shrugged and said honestly: "I don't know him well. Now you ask me to evaluate him. I can't say anything of value. Can he lead Liverpool back to the top? This is not my responsibility." Things, if I know, I won’t play football, I should go to fortune-telling. So you should ask him this question.”

Chen Yingxiong pointed to Niang beside him.

Niang quickly took up the topic with a smile on his face, and talked about Martin O'Neill: "He is a very capable head coach. I believe that Liverpool can return to the top under his leadership...We have great confidence in him , I also believe that the hero and his cooperation will be very pleasant..."

In fact, in his heart, Niang was saying: You have seen the personality of a hero now, Martin?

What Chen Yingxiong said in BJ was quickly transmitted back to Liverpool by the English media.

And the English media is really good at picking things up. The headline they chose was: "Martin O'Neill? I don't know him well."

This title is actually correct, but when they said it and used a different tone, it gave people the impression that Chen Yingxiong disdained Martin O'Neill.

As for whether Chen Yingxiong hates O'Neill so much, I don't know.

Anyway, when Gerrard and Skrtel and other Liverpool players were asked the same question, they were very tactful, that is, they thanked Dalglish and expressed their welcome and support to O'Neill.Only Chen Yingxiong said bluntly that he didn't know O'Neill, and then kicked the ball to Niang.

So if it aroused other people's reverie, it was Chen Yingxiong's own fault.

Martin O'Neill held the newspaper and shook his head helplessly when he saw the headline on it.

It seems that this Liverpool's number one star is far more difficult to deal with than I thought.

But he still has to deal with Chen Yingxiong, because he is the absolute core of the team. If he has a bad relationship with Chen Yingxiong, it will be difficult for him to work in Liverpool.He had heard that Chen Yingxiong, as the fourth captain handpicked by Dalgliesh, also had certain influence and voice in the locker room.

Therefore, if I want to work smoothly in Liverpool, I must obtain the support of Chen Yingxiong.

But now it seems that he is quite nostalgic...

It seems that the influence of "King Kenny" in this dressing room is not as easy to remove as I thought... From my outsider's perspective, Dalglish's coaching in Liverpool was a failure. No, he felt that the team might be expecting him to leave.Looking at it now, I was wrong. He really deserves to be a legend of the club, with extraordinary influence.

The matter of Chen Yingxiong is just a reminder that it is not so easy to win the hearts of these big-name players.

Who in the Liverpool dressing room will support him, who will be against him, and who will be on the fence, watching from the sidelines and then deciding on his own choice?

The head coach of a wealthy family is not that simple...
