Chapter 135 Denial of Sponsorship, Small Group Format

Although Metz had a bye in this round of the UEFA Cup, they still played in the French Cup. Pierre made a decisive choice and responded with a full substitute lineup. At this time, Metz has no way to cope with such a high game density. Surprisingly, Zhang Chiming scored his first goal since arriving in France, which was also Metz's only goal. The defending champion Metz lost 1:3 to the newly promoted Saint-Etienne in the away game.

This result is expected, after all, Saint-Etienne is a veteran ten-time champion, and has experienced reinforcements in the summer.

In the round when Metz had a bye, Atletico Madrid lost to Tottenham, and the Red Star team won Alkmaar. The current group situation is very interesting. Metz played two rounds and scored 6 points and ranked first in the group First, Atletico Madrid played three rounds and got second in the group with 6 points, Tottenham played two rounds and got third in the group with three points, Red Star played three rounds and got fourth in the group with three points, Alkmaar played two rounds and got third in the group with 3 points. At the end of the round with 3 points, judging from the current situation, Metz, Atletico Madrid, and Tottenham all have the chance to qualify for the group. Metz should have the greatest chance of appearing in the group. As long as the next two rounds do not play too badly, they should qualify. Not a problem, if you can win a game and tie a game, you will be the first in the group. Metz's opponent in the next round is Alkmaar. It should not be too difficult to win the opponent. The most important thing is to watch the last round. Can Wang Huo catch up with Atletico Madrid?

If Wang Hao returns from injury, everything is easy to say, Metz has a chance to hit the first place in the group.

Before that, the game against Alkmaar is also very crucial. If they don’t get the 3 points, Metz will be passive. In terms of victory and defeat, they have a certain advantage over Tottenham, but their opponent in the last round is Atletico Madrid. Tottenham played Alkmaar. The Dutch team performed very poorly in the UEFA Cup. It should not be a problem for Tottenham to win them. The key is whether Metz can win the opponent when Wang He is absent.

Wang Huo thinks there should be no problem, but he is not afraid of accidents, he is always worried about not being able to play.

……

Paul Pierre has been very active since he became his agent. He often finds some sponsors for Wang Hao, and it seems to be relatively reliable. I ran to the team early in the morning to find Wang Xie.

"Alai..."

Little Pierre was in high spirits. After entering the door, he sat down to catch his breath. It seemed that he had come running.

Wang Xi handed over a glass of water, and Pierre drank it all before saying: "Your performance in the UEFA Cup was really great. Now many people want to talk to me about your sponsorship."

"What about the big company you called earlier?"

Wang Huo asked.

Paul Pierre is very smart, as long as Wang Ji refuses the endorsement contract, he never talks too much, but the benefits that should be taken are taken by the manufacturer. This is also a kind of survival wisdom, and he can distinguish After all, because of whom can he live a good life.

"It's Danone!"

Pierre Jr. exaggerated: "This is one of the best food companies in France. They hope that you can endorse the full range of Danone's products."

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Xie understood: "Are they trying to compete for the Asian market again?"

"It should be like this!"

Wang Huo thought about it and said, "Reject it for me."

"Oh fine."

Paul Pierre left without further questioning.Wang Hao is still very satisfied with his attitude.

Wang Ji is very cautious in choosing endorsements.

He doesn't have so many inexplicable hobbies, and he doesn't plan to travel to space. He will definitely not be short of money in the future, but who gets the money is very important.

He is abroad and talks a lot. Even if domestic keyboard warriors don't criticize him, he won't eat bad money to deceive his own people.

Wang Huo has many requirements for endorsement. First of all, Japanese companies need to look at the composition. The company recognizes the history. That’s fine. A Japanese company signed an endorsement contract with Wang Ji. Even if the owner of the company admits that Japan committed heinous crimes during that period of history, they still have to consider the impact in Japan. Many people will hate them if they apologize.

As for Korean companies, Wang Huo will never accept them. Bangzi’s face is too ugly, not to mention his tricks in various competitions. In the first few years before his rebirth, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Salvage Bureau helped salvage the Shiyue. It should have been paid by Bangzi , But before Wang Ji was reborn, they failed to settle the account. These bastards were not at ease and always wanted to take advantage of it. Wang Ji was not willing to advertise for them so that they could make money in China.

When it comes to European and American companies, it seems that there are not so many pitfalls, but he hates Jardine Matheson and those companies that have sold tablets in China before. Those companies have grown into behemoths through crimes committed more than a hundred years ago. , The fields involved are very wide, and there are too many corporate brands, so Wang Wei is very cautious when choosing endorsement contracts.

Even if he signs an endorsement, it is estimated that the domestic fans will not be able to say anything, but he can't pass the test in his heart. To be a human being, you must always have a clear conscience.

Danone Group was established in 1966, of course it was not at that time that it had been to China.

However, during the period when the country was open to attract investment, Danone and Wahaha had a lot of entanglements. Although the second generation of Wahaha was not very reliable, Wang He still supported domestic companies in his heart.

At that time, wahhaha wanted to engage in a joint venture, and foreign capital still accounted for 51% of the shares.

Many state-owned brands are basically acquired by Xuezang when they engage in joint ventures. Many well-known private brands have been destroyed in this way. Even Bright Milk has experienced this kind of thing.

But the boss Zong who hahaha is not an ordinary person after all, the little money he earned from selling oral liquid was spent on the food city project, but the food city has no way to go public.

Therefore, Mr. Zong thought of introducing foreign capital, solving the problem of capital, and then using foreign capital to put pressure on the conquest, and finally get advanced technology.Once he operated it, he turned the expired company into a private company, and in the end Danone was really kicked out.

Although Boss Zong is ruthless, Danone is indeed too good. No wonder he lost his wife and lost his army in the end.

The two sides have fought many lawsuits, large and small, dozens of games, and Wahaha won all games without losing. The main reason is that the price offered by Danone in the proposed merger and acquisition plan was lower than Wahaha’s own value. If you want to sell more than one billion shares to Wahaha at a price of 200 billion, even the European courts will not support these Danones.

The main reason for Wang He’s refusal to endorse was not the lawsuit between Wahaha and Danone. After all, Wahaha started out selling oral liquids, and there was the second generation of that prodigal son, who denied Leehom who had not raised the endorsement fee for many years. .

Wang Wei mainly thinks that Danone is too stupid, and cooperation with this kind of enterprise will affect his IQ.

Endorsing products is inherently risky. Uncle Long's reputation has been ruined for many years because of Xiaobawang Shampoo. How many people have suffered from endorsements.The manufacturer’s money is easy to get, but the risks are not without. Danone’s food sales seem safe, and European food requirements are relatively high, but they are not afraid of accidents, just in case. Look, Danone's crisis communication skills will not be too good.

Another point is that Danone wants to continue to develop the Asian market. Needless to say, using him as a spokesperson is aimed at China.In the previous life, many foreign brands were exposed to have product quality problems. Wang Ji didn’t remember clearly, so if you can’t take it, you can’t take it. You can’t entrap your compatriots just for money. No, there might be something wrong with his body. If he remembered correctly, Danone still has milk powder.

As a cynical youth, Wang Ji would never endorse products like milk powder, whether domestic or foreign, in case of problems, he would never forgive himself, not to mention the pressure of public opinion.

……

On December 12, Wang Hao watched the match between Metz and Auxerre in the stands.

In this game, Pierre has already begun to adjust the formation. Pjanic was placed in the central midfielder position, and two defensive midfielders were arranged behind him for protection.

Wang Hao knew that the little old man had prepared for the worst. Once he missed the game against Atletico Madrid, the team would probably use this formation for the final game of the UEFA Cup.

Metz, who made a temporary change, played awkwardly. He was scored by the opponent not long after the start. In order to equalize the score, Metz, who played at home, pressed more forward, but he just gained momentum and failed to score.

Not long after the start of the second half, Pierre replaced Saliba and used double centers to bomb the opponent's penalty area in the air. It was strange to say that Metz also got a lot of set balls, but Metz either missed or hit the ball. The goalposts, even the San Severn goal are against them.

It was not until the 79th minute of the game that Metz equalized the score.

After Francois steals from the back court, he quickly passes it to Pjanic's feet. Pjanic makes a precise long pass to find Arequi on the right. This time Arequi did not disappoint everyone's trust in him. After trying a lot, he finally found the feeling. Anyway, he sent a high-quality cross. Jonathan Valasiak looked back from the right side of the goal and Mochizuki broke Auxerre's goal.

This goal made Metz see the hope of taking all 3 points, and began to attack more violently, but at the end of the game, they failed to score again, and the final score was fixed at 1:1.

When Pierre was interviewed, he was quite satisfied with the result of the game: "In the middle of the season, if the tactics are changed, it is inevitable that the results will fluctuate."

The French media did not have much reaction. Although Metz failed to win, they still scored 1 point and ranked third with 30 points. Nancy in front had 32 points, Lyon had 37 points, and Metz If you work hard, it will be easy to surpass Nancy. If you can continue to maintain it, you can enter the Champions League at the end of the season.

For a newly promoted horse, this result is already very good. Before the start of the season, they expected Metz to be between the top and the relegation zone. It can be said that Metz's current ranking has exceeded everyone's expectations.

In the UEFA Cup in the middle of the week, Metz ushered in the Dutch team AZ Alkmaar at home. Although Wang Hao will stay on the sidelines due to injury, the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans has not diminished at all.Because Wang Ji couldn't play, their discussion became more heated.

Metz is completely two teams with Wang Huo on and off the court. The original score boy Alkmaar may not be able to win steadily now, so the fans will use the data to make sense to prove their arguments.

"Alkmaar's performance in the Eredivisie is still good. Their offense is very sharp. Metz really may not win this game."

"Fart, the Eredivisie team's offense is really good, but they have big problems in defense. The defense of the Dutch team's defenders is mostly symbolic. Today, without Wang Xie, as long as Zhang Chiming plays, he can beat them. "

"Hehe, Zhang Chiming is not as good as Areki. At least Areki can run. Zhang Chiming's speed can only be regarded as an upper-middle level in Europe. The rest of the technical knowledge is average. If it is not a Chinese player, I would I don't even bother to discuss it, the wingers who usually catch the eye are Robben C Ronaldo."

"This is the truth. Zhang Chiming's talent is indeed limited. Don't place too much hope on him. It would be good if he can play the main force in the five major leagues in the future. It is unrealistic to see another Wang Xie."

"Now he is only 18 years old, who can say what will happen in the future?"

"Wang He started playing in the first team at Metz when he was 15 years old. Rooney made his debut when he was playing for Arsenal when he was less than 18 years old. If he is talented, he can play before he is 18 years old."

"But there are also quite a few late bloomers. Toni and Materazzi are both professional and non-professional players in their 20s, and most of them are in their early 20s."

"You're talking about Italian players, can it be the same? Besides, world football didn't give young people much chance in the past. Look at it now, Walcott is only 16 years old and went to the World Cup."

The original discussion was about whether Metz could win, but the fans got into an argument because of Zhang Chiming. What's even more ridiculous was that Zhang Chiming wasn't even starting today, so they didn't know what they were arguing about.

In the singing of "Passing Through Lorraine", Metz, who took the lead in kicking off, launched a fierce attack on Alkmaar's goal.

Alkmaar is still relatively cautious in the away game. After losing two games, they are already fighting for dignity, and there is no possibility of qualifying.

But the bus was not long after all. In the 27th minute, Metz, who had been unable to attack for a long time, got a free kick. Pjanic accurately found the top of Coulibaly's head in the middle, 1:0.

This goal completely changed the trend of the game. Originally, Alkmaar had no chance of qualifying. They shrank to think of a point. Now there is no hope of scoring points.

Towards the end of the first half, Metz found a chance to counterattack, Daniel Gomez cut inside and scored a good shot, 2:0.

But when everyone felt that the game was stable, Metz was scored twice by the opponent in the second half, all through set kicks.

In the final stage of the game, the two sides completely kicked out the guys, and the offensive and defensive transitions were so fast that it was dizzying, but unfortunately they failed to score again.

After the game, Metz ranked first in the group with 7 points in three games, and Tottenham, who won the game, ranked second in the group with 6 points in three rounds. Atletico Madrid also ranked No.6 with 3 points in three rounds, but because they lost to Tottenham. , now only these three teams have the hope of qualifying, but Tottenham have taken the lead. As long as they get points in the final round and qualify steadily, if Atletico Madrid draws with Metz, they can still win the group. Second, the worst case scenario is that Metz loses in the last round and Tottenham wins at the same time. Even if they score 7 points in the first three rounds, they will be eliminated in the end. The qualifying situation of this group is very anxious...
