Chapter 440 The Lion Opens His Big Mouth

"How about Zlatan?"

When he saw Mino Raiola again, after Yang Yang greeted him, the first sentence he said was concerned about his buddy Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The main reason is that the impact of Call Gate on Juventus is too great.

Raiola shook his head and sighed: "It's not sure yet. Juventus is also in a mess right now. They are in emergency public relations, hoping to escape the disaster, but it seems that the possibility of being relegated is getting higher and higher."

What the media exposes is often just the result of games and public relations between all parties. In fact, the things behind it are more complicated.

It was as if before the phone door, Moji had obviously received the news and hid.

But these things are obviously not what Yang Yang cares about, he only cares about his friends.

"Don't have any pressure in this World Cup. You have performed so well in the past season. It is normal for the World Cup to experience a trough. All players are like this. As for the transfer and sponsor negotiations, I will help you."

Raiola made a special trip to Germany this trip. Apart from comforting Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the most important thing is about Yang Yang.

One is the transfer, and the other is the sponsor negotiation.

"A few days ago, I already disclosed our psychological price points to Nike and Adidas respectively."

Yang Yang saw the Italian fat man smiling mischievously, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, "How much do you drive?"

"Five million euros!"

"What?" Although Yang Yang was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback when he heard it.

"Five million euros? Are you sure?"

Raiola couldn't stop nodding, and replied in a very sure tone: "I'm a thousand percent sure."

"How could they agree?" Yang Yang shook his head and smiled wryly, what a lion.

"So, they were so angry that they slapped the table and left." Raiola was also frank.

Yang Yang smiled wryly, and slapped the table himself.

This price is indeed a bit outrageous, even Beckham can't get such a high price, let alone Yang Yang.

The last contract was only 300 million euros, and the increase was five times in three years. How can this be accepted?
"You, you still don't have a clear enough understanding of your own market value." Raiola clicked his tongue twice, "I will teach you another lesson and tell you how big the Chinese market is behind you."

Yang Yang couldn't help thinking of the signing of the Porsche Cayenne before.

"A lot of what I'm going to tell you below are the secrets of the two companies. I also dug it out through untold hardships. In the two years since Nike signed you, the annual growth rate has been more than 50.00%.

"According to the reliable information I got, they are very satisfied with the current growth rate of the Chinese market. It is estimated that by the year of the 20 Beijing Olympic Games, the revenue will exceed 30 billion U.S. dollars, and in [-] it will exceed [-] billion U.S. dollars. It is growing at an extremely fast rate almost every year, and their most important bargaining chip is you."

"As far as I know, Adidas is currently far behind Nike in terms of revenue and growth rate in the Chinese market. They are very jealous because they have more stores than Nike, but their revenue is much lower than Nike, so they want to grab you. Do you understand what I mean now?"

Yang Yang nodded. He also studied business administration, so naturally he wouldn't understand.

Compared with the hundreds of millions and billions of dollars these companies spend at every turn, their own 500 million euros is nothing at all.

This is also what his father Yang Yongqiang and Wei Zheng once told him. Nike and Adidas are two major international brands that are almost sweeping the country, but there is no domestic brand that can compete except Li Ning.

Their family is now relying on the fringe market of running shoes to barely gain a foothold and make some famous names.

For the time being, the strength gap between domestic brands and the two giants is still too great.

Before, it was not that Yang Yang had never thought of standing in line for his own brand, but Wei Zheng made him dispel this idea. He described Yang Yang as "the temple is too small to accommodate the big Buddha", thinking that this would disrupt the development of the company itself.

Yang Yang also understood this truth, so naturally he dismissed this idea.

"These two giants are careful planning. I offered 500 million euros to make them pay back the price. Just wait and see. With the current attractiveness of the Chinese market, the two giants will definitely kill people. And you will reap the benefits of the fisherman, and I will make some running money."

Every time he saw Raiola's smile, the word "health quotient" would come to Yang Yang's mind.

Later, Raiola talked with Yang Yang about the transfer.

Judging from the current situation, Serie A and Bundesliga have been ruled out, and La Liga is estimated to be unlikely, so Yang Yang's next stop is most likely to go to the Premier League.

The top four in the Premier League are all very good choices.

Whether it is Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool, they are all interested in Yang Yang, and no matter which team he goes to, Yang Yang is confident that he can get the main position.

Of course, it depends on what kind of conditions the four teams can offer him.

Yang Yang doesn't care about salary, Raiola is in charge, he only cares about his tactical position in the team.

He wants to go to a team that can give full play to his advantages and characteristics.

…………

…………

After meeting Raiola, Yang Yang devoted himself to the national team's preparations.

According to the schedule, the Chinese team's opponent in the first match of the World Cup is Mexico.

This team performed very well in last year's Confederations Cup. The team's Xiaokuailing style of play is impressive, especially their midfield organization. The 1.6-meter-three midfielder Xenia performed quite brilliantly.

"If there is no accident, Xenia should continue to start this game."

At the tactical preparation meeting before the game, Alihan was obviously full of worries about Zinia.

"This player of Brazilian descent will become the core of Mexico's midfielder. He is especially good at moving around the right rib, so our midfielder and left back must maintain enough focus."

Both Zhao Junzhe and Cao Yang nodded. They will be the defensive players in Xenia's activity area.

"Another noteworthy player is the Mexican striker Borgetti. This player is only 1.8 meters three, but he is especially good at heading. He is also the best player in the World Cup qualifiers in Germany. He scored a total of [-] goals. However, his performance in the Premier League Bolton last season was relatively mediocre, but he can't be careless anyway."

Although Mexico is a North American team, they actually have pretty good footwork, strong ball control ability, and very threatening midfield organization penetration. Xiao Kuailing's style of play is their traditional advantage.

The overall strength of Costa Rica, which the Chinese team encountered in the last World Cup, was not as good as that of Mexico, but that time the Chinese team also lost miserably. It can be seen that the team must show [-]% focus and investment when they encounter Mexico this time.

The difference from the previous session is that this time the Chinese team has nuclear weapons.

That is Yang Yang.

"Undoubtedly, if nothing unexpected happens, in tomorrow's game, we will be completely passive in terms of ball possession and the scene, and the opponent will take the initiative. All we can do is defend, defend, and defend again!"

Alihan talked about defense three times in a row, which shows that he really has no confidence in the strength of this national team.

Yang Yang himself can also feel that this national team is in the stage of metabolism, and the most important thing in this trip to the World Cup is to see the top teams in the world.

Mexico is a strong team in North America, Portugal is a strong team in Europe, and the only weaker team in the group is Angola, but they are also playing very well in Africa.

It can be said that with the current strength of the Chinese team, no matter whether they encounter any of these three teams, they are not sure.

Although no one said it, Alihan brought so many young players, it was obvious that he wanted to train.

"Okay, everyone, please believe that the biggest test for us in this game is defense. As long as we can defend, the front offense will definitely have a chance to score!"

…………

…………

In fact, even though the Chinese team had made sufficient psychological preparations before the game, even under the disparity of possession as high as 60.00%, a few to more than [-], the Chinese team still did not mess up and organized a strict defense.

But in the end, after all, they still lost the ball.

And it was lost in No. 307 minutes in the first half.

The hero who made Mexico's goal was precisely the Brazilian player Xenia who was mentioned the most by Arihan before the match.

He dribbled the ball from the right into the middle. Although Zhao Junzhe had already returned to the defense, Xenia suddenly made a direct pass. The right midfielder Mendes quickly slipped in, throwing off Cao Yang's cross. Borgetti headed in the penalty area and opened the scoring for Mexico.

One to zero!

This goal was a big blow to the Chinese team.

The defense was very hard for the first [-] minutes, almost being pressed and beaten by the opponent. There were not many opportunities to counterattack, but it was defended no matter what.

This conceded goal made all the previous efforts completely in vain.

Under the tragic blow, the Chinese team made another mistake in just 3 minutes.

When the goalkeeper Li Leilei made a clearance, he did not hit the ball far, and was headed back to the middle by the Mexican player. When the Chinese team made a big clearance, it hit the Mexican player. Xenia grabbed the ball at the front of the penalty area.

But just when Xenia seemed to be passing and shooting, Yang Yang, who retreated all the way in front, suddenly appeared, blocked the Mexican player's kick with his body, and quickly kicked the ball out of bounds, turning it into a foul kick for Mexico.

This allowed the Chinese team to bid farewell to a crisis for the time being!
But in the subsequent games, the Chinese team was still very passive. They only stabilized their position a little after the intermission, but the scene still did not improve.

The midfielder couldn't get the ball out, and Yang Yang had to retreat frequently to respond.

It is really hard to be a father and a mother at the same time. It is really hard work, but it is still rewarding.

In 6 minutes, midfielder Zheng Zhi stole the ball and launched a counterattack.

Yang Yang threw off the Mexican defender when he stopped the ball, and quickly advanced with the ball in the middle.
