Chapter 156 I'm Retired!

Moldova offered Yang Xu a contract, which surprised Yang Xu.It was Yao Ming who helped him contact the contract he left behind.

"Why did they come to me?" Yang Xu felt very strange. "In our team, Shevchenko was wearing a Puma, and the Agricultural University and Luo Teng had no shoe contracts. How could they find me?"

Of course, Yang Xu will also care about this issue.Although players will have many endorsements, and some endorsements will bring players huge income, there are very few endorsements that can really make people feel excited.Yang Xu himself has many endorsements, but no matter how many such things as beverage advertisements and food advertisements, they are not as unexpected as the endorsement contracts for shoes.To be able to sign shoe contracts for companies like Moldova and Adidas is, in a sense, to be recognized as a real star.This kind of recognition from within the circle is incomparable with general endorsement contracts.

"Because finding you is more in line with their market philosophy." Zhang Yuan answered the question succinctly, "Your skills are really good. Again, you are also the main force of the championship team and a strong contender for the best rookie in the French first division." One. This status can also afford their contract
Yang Xu was still a little strange, "Why do you want me to open up the market? Don't you want to find Luo Teng? He has blond hair. He is much more handsome than me.

"Not all blondes are handsome. Your aesthetic needs to change." Zhang Yuan said before explaining, "It's not because of your appearance. The most important thing is your nationality."

Yang Xu looked at Zhang Yuan suspiciously, and helped the laowai to deceive the laowai, "They don't want to use me as a cover to make money in China, do they?".Yang Xu doesn't have any psychological barriers, but if he helps foreigners to deceive Chinese people, he still has psychological barriers.

"What is cheating? Selling fakes is called cheating. Moldova and Adidas are the best shoes in the world. How can they be called cheating? They just want to do business with Adidas and find someone to advertise. How can they be called cheaters What?" Zhang Yuan refuted Yang Xu's idea.

"More importantly, this is also an affirmation of your football skills."

Zhang Yuan knew Yang Xu after all.He knows what he wants.He won't be very happy if he only talks about income.But he will be very happy if he recognizes what he has achieved in football.

Sure enough, when he said this, Yang Xu's face would look much better.

"And this contract is not much. Although you have considered the market behind it, the contract is only given to you because of your technology, and the contract fee is also given according to your ability."

At this moment, Zhang Yuan's complexion was abnormal.He admires and envies at the same time. "If you don't have to say that someone else is working in America is straight up, Adidas has been checking you out for a long time, but he has no confidence to pay. Look at the Americans, they say if they give money, they will pay. If they sign A five-year contract for one million euros, that's five million euros."

This price made Yang Xu even more surprised, "How come there are so many?"

"Why not? Don't forget that Zhang Yuanbai, the market behind you, glanced at him.

Shoemakers don't care much about strength, they care more about making money.Although Yang Xu is not famous now, he is at least the number one star in China.Signing him helps sell the shoe.Businessmen don't miss such a simple thing.

Although Adidas also noticed Yang Xu, they still wanted to observe nature, ¤ However, what they proposed was only a contract for Yang Xu's football skills, which potential rookies could get.In the field of football shoes, although Adidas is the undisputed leader, their concept is still the European market after all.They care more about brands than celebrities and endorsers.

After all, we are just entering the 21st century.In the field of football shoes, Adidas and Moldova have not yet formed two strong opponents in the future.There is Promised Land in Italy, Umbrella in England, and these companies that will gradually decline in the future are still very strong. It is this fierce competition that limits their thinking.

But Moldova is different from Adidas.What they value more is to develop the Chinese market.China's huge population always makes people very optimistic about the potential of this market.Since the Opium Wars, people in Europe and the United States have made this mistake again and again, and in the 21st century, there is still no progress.

"A million-dollar contract is definitely not low. What level of player is Manuel Golovac? So far, he has not finalized his endorsement. It is said that his endorsement fee is about 200 million yuan."

Now the endorsement fee of football shoes is not very high.As a rookie, Yang Xu can sign a contract worth more than 100 million yuan!

Our Football Association also has time to win with results. This is the time for the Football Association to go all out to fight for places.After being ridiculed for years, I finally achieved something.Why don't I try my best?
Although Yang Xu didn't understand this, he still knew why he insisted on accepting it, but he was still a little embarrassed, "But we have already robbed Yao Ming of the first batch of endorsements, and this time we robbed other people's honor, isn't it great? ?”

"Why not? What honor can we say? World Cup hat-trick, exciting moment for the country! First gold medal in football history, sacrificing the club for the national team! Since you have suffered a lot, why not enjoy the treatment? "

Zhang Yuan understands the meaning of this column better than Yang Xu, so his thoughts will be stronger.

And Yang Xu should win the award. In 2002, the sport that touched the Chinese people the most was not football.what else?This year is the World Cup.In the year of the World Cup, any sport must give up in front of football.As the first sport in the world, football has an influence and appeal unmatched by all other sports.

Although Yao Ming became the number one in the NBA, it is exciting, but the two kinds of excitement are completely different.After all, the former has been the dream of Chinese fans for many years, and the influence of the NBA, now, in the past, and in the future, cannot be compared with the World Cup at any time.What's more, the draft mode itself has the meaning of a gimmick, and the actual effect is different after all.

Even the reason for the NBA's application is that Yao Ming promised to return to China to play for the NBA at any time, but he didn't mention anything about the draft.Compared with such reasons, Yang Xu's sacrifice is obviously much greater.Yao Ming came back to play, but he was even more tired.Yang Xu came back to play, but he completely sacrificed the performance of the club for the performance of the national team.If Yang Xu stayed at the Paris Saint-Germain club that year, he would not have tied five games in a row, which would have prevented the Paris Saint-Germain club from catching up with Lyon.

Since Yao Ming can do it, why can't Yang Xu?He played basketball in the NBA and had no championships.Yang Xu won the football championship.

Although Zhang Yuan also watches basketball, he was born in the football circle, and he always feels that basketball is a sport played by a group of chimpanzees.In terms of technique and taste, it is much worse than football.This visceral disdain never went away.

"However, I still think it's too wrong to do this? Can't you stare at people and grab things?" Yang Xu couldn't help but said, "I don't know basketball, but I'm an athlete myself. I still know that living abroad has its own advantages. What trouble. Why are the Chinese making trouble for the Chinese?"

"There must be a boss in the sports circle. It's either you or him, who else can it be? It's not a problem. You don't have to feel any psychological burden," Zhang said. Lots of people. Unlike you, I'm the only one who can help. People are not short of money."

Yang Xu was still a little uneasy.In his opinion, it is good to compete with foreigners, but it is good to compete with Chinese
"Besides, don't be afraid of discord. Yao Ming is a character. I don't know how he plays, but at least I know he is much better than you in dealing with people."

Zhang Yuan explained to him: "You know, not only did they not say anything about you, but they also took the initiative to chase you and contact you for an endorsement contract."

The word "endorsement contract" was a bit unexpected to Yang Xu, "Does he still know this?"

"It's not a normal contract." Zhang Yuan smiled, "Moldova's contract."

This news made Yang Xu stand up in surprise.

In the football world, having a contract worth tens of millions of dollars like in the NBA is unthinkable.After all, with more football stars, the market is more fragmented.It is impossible to give a person a contract that is too high.It doesn't align with the NBA that all the money is going to a few people.More importantly, the commercialization process of football is relatively slow after all, and there is still a gap compared with the four major leagues in the United States. It is hoped that the suspension of the game will be longer than the normal game time.

In this era, even Zidane's annual income is less than 1000 million euros.Except for one David, other players have not yet realized the importance of hyping themselves, and their income is not high.

"But there are quite a few. Five million in five years is not a lot, but it is a lot of money after all. There is no portrait right in your contract with Paris Saint-Germain Club. The money belongs to you."

The idea made him uncomfortable.However, he!
Yang Xu has his own reasons: this is a show for everyone in the country, not a football show.On football shows, some commentators are just talking nonsense.Anyway, those guys have no shortage of nonsense after Mid-Autumn Festival.No one takes what they say too seriously.But national programs are different.If CCTV did not honestly say something about Asian Maradona to the whole country, would Yang Xu embarrass the whole country?
Zhang Yuan looked at him and said nothing.

This guy is always stupid when it matters.How can such a thing back down?Touching China isn't really a football award, and it's nothing to rave about.But it is a national program and the most mainstream publicity channel in the country.It shows its face on it.Is it better than the average football program?

No matter how lively the football program is, it is watched by fans.People across the country are watching. If the propaganda is not good, the party and government organs will follow suit.

This is a national program.Once broadcast, people who don't watch will know Yang Xu's reputation.Can such a reputation be compared with ordinary athletes?
Athletes want to be famous.With fame, commercial endorsements should follow.If you want to be famous, you have to rely on publicity.Who Advertises for Athletes?Television stations, newspapers, advertising companies, these channels are the only way to expand the reputation of athletes.

But what kind of propaganda agency can rival government propaganda departments?What TV stations can do is to play more games and edit more exciting videos.All a newspaper can do is report everything in detail and try to please its readers.These things are fantastic for the audience.Where did such propaganda go?

"It's not up to you." Zhang Yuan knew that Yang Xu couldn't make sense, so he didn't even say a word to him, "The General Administration of Sports has a quota, so he gave you this opportunity. If you don't go, it's for playing basketball Yao Ming. The Football Association helps you fight for opportunities. You can’t do it. This is not your own business. This is also the battle above.
This is also true.Mobile China is a choice, not a quota allocation?The General Administration of Sports has only one spot, so it will naturally consider who it will be given to.

Table tennis, diving, gymnastics and other teams basically do not compete for this spot.While their grades have been good, they don't need this kind of publicity.Strangely, China did not win gold medals in these events.Nothing much to do.

Yao Ming and Yang Xu, who are most qualified to win basketball and football, are naturally two.The former just became the NBA champion in 2002, while the latter rose to fame in the World Cup, and there are not many players who have established themselves in Europe today.

In terms of fame and team status, Yao Ming naturally has an advantage.But Yang Xu's advantage lies in the fact that the influence of the World Cup is too great. His goals are almost known to every household. He said that he touched China, but Yao Ming's number one position is still very poor.More importantly, Yang Xu won the championship in the Asian Games.This is a rare opportunity for the Chinese Football Association to truly make a difference.by contrast.The basketball team's consecutive losses in the World Championships and Asian Games also made them a little shameless.

"Mr. Cruyff suggested that we sign Koeman as the head coach, and then acquire Aimar, Alberta and Ayala to form the soul of the Villarreal club...". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Do you really think we should listen to people who haven't touched the ball in years?" Russell interrupted.

"Of course I wouldn't trust him. He's old. When it comes to sports, of course you are the only person I can trust," Laporta made the choice without hesitation, a politician he had long accepted After training, he can meet what people call good skills, "but after all, he is my previous employer, and the fans like him. He has status and does no harm to us."

"But don't let him get involved in the transfer business, okay? Villarreal can't stand him, Russell looks better, but he's still afraid that Laporta won't make up his mind." We can't afford it Coleman coach.The penalty demanded by Ajax is millions.Where can we get the money? "……………………………………………
