Fame with a ball

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the score has been fixed at the two numbers of 3:1.Queens Park Rangers defeated the giant Chelsea at home, breaking the biggest upset since the start of the Premier League.It also made the media from all walks of life report the game like a chicken blood after the game!

It's not just a small victory over the weak, other than this, there is so much to write about in this game: the 17-year-old player from China actually staged a hat-trick, and Fernando Torres' imaginative goal made him Despite the glorious defeat, the disputes on the court, Chelsea captain John Terry who was given a red card because of racial discrimination, and Chelsea's head coach Villas-Boas who made such a big mistake not long after he took office...

"Black Cat vs. Blue Army, Super Reversal! "(Daily Telegraph)

"Chelsea lost to the newly promoted, the former Big Mac became a sick cat? "(World Soccer)

"An 18-year-old Chinese player scored a hat-trick against Chelsea!" "(Observer)

"The Premier League has cultivated a super shooter! (The Sunday Telegraph)

In addition to the UK and abroad, sports media in other European countries also reported on the game.

Asian talent in the Premier League! "(Italy, Gazzetta dello Sport)

"Chelsea's coaching changes are too frequent, and the record is dragged down" (Germany, Kicker)

"Racism in football again, Chelsea captain fears prosecution" (France, L'Equipe)

If it is said that all the positive praises brought to Queens Park Rangers by this game, then most of the negative reports for Chelsea.

The first thing to bear the brunt was the racial discrimination incident of Chelsea captain John Terry. At the beginning, Terry had an affair with Vanessa, the French model girlfriend of former club teammate Bridger, and caused her to become pregnant. It is also trying to hype this news, making John Terry's name notorious for a while.But at this time, the incident of racial discrimination in the stadium was far worse than the "Friendly Wife Gate" incident that he had caused at the beginning, because "Friendly Wife Gate" would not suspend Terry, but racial discrimination would.

As we all know, there is never a lack of foreign aid in European football matches, Africans, Asians, Brazilians, Argentines, etc... In Terry's words, there are countless European players who have offended, and even a large part of the Football Association officials them.At least within the FA, a black-skinned official said bluntly in an interview with the media: "Chelsea's Terry's unscrupulous words on the court have hurt the hearts of most European foreign players. He is naked. For racial discrimination, the Football Association has decided to suspend him... You ask if he will be prosecuted and sent to jail? I don’t know, it depends on the victim, how the lawyer hired by the Queen’s Park Rangers will fight the lawsuit .”

The elder brother of Queens Park Rangers player Ferdinand, who was called a "nigger" by Terry, is the famous main force of the Manchester United team, Leo Ferdinand. He also expressed his dissatisfaction with John Terry many times in public , and even strongly demanded that the Football Association give Terry a one-year suspension, and at the same time should strip off the armband of the England national team captain on Terry's arm. It is an insult to this noble country!"

Lin Zhigao didn't want to get to the bottom of it with Terry, sue him and send him to jail?Although this is very happy, the problem of racial discrimination will not be completely solved just because Terry goes to jail. White people always have a sense of superiority to black people, and yellow people always have a sense of superiority, as if they don’t need to take a bath. Humans are as clean as yellow races.

So Lin Zhigao himself will not ask a lawyer to sue him for Terry's mad dog - but the club has already filed a complaint against Terry. What awaits Terry is not only the fine and suspension of the FA, but also the British "anti-racism discrimination". "The organization hired a lawyer to prosecute him.

In China, the sensational effect created by this game is even greater.However, there is not much domestic coverage of Terry's bad remarks. After all, he has the most face in the country. When this incident broke out, the media felt that their face was also dishonored. Moreover, they had a better publicity target——Lin Zhigao .

Because the CCTV sports channel happened to broadcast a video clip of Lin Zhigao's life abroad in the sports news the day before the game, many people who didn't know much about football before also knew that there was a Chinese who went to play in the top five European leagues.In addition to those fans-although the current football atmosphere in China is very sluggish, but the population base is there, there are still tens of millions of fans.

Although the game between Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea was broadcast in the early hours of the morning, there were still many people who watched it.After the game, although it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and most of the TV stations also ended their programs for the day, in today's society, the fastest way to spread information is definitely the Internet!

In the early morning of the next day, almost all portal websites took the news of Lin Zhigao's hat-trick as their headlines. Sohu and Tencent even set up a dedicated Lin Zhigao news section for all news related to Lin Zhigao.

Now the most widely spread among celebrities is blogging and Weibo, but because Lin Zhigao was born out of nowhere, almost no one in China knows his contact information, so the only officially established Baidu Tieba became popular overnight Incomparably, the number of fans has suddenly increased from more than 3 to 30, and there is an increasing trend.

This is the benefit of playing against giants.Since Lin Zhigao joined Queens Park Rangers, he has played against three Premier League giants.Manchester United was tied.Arsenal lost.Only Chelsea's Queens Park Rangers are victorious, and the goal belongs only to Lin Zhigao!

A hat-trick against Chelsea!Almost anyone, as long as they are fans, knows how high the gold content of this ball is.You know, Chelsea's goalkeeper is the "goal god" Petr Cech!

It was through this game that Lin Zhigao really moved from the eyes of the fans to the public.If it was said that sports news paid more attention to him in the past, now those large comprehensive media and portal websites will also give priority to his news.

The CCTV reporter team, who had just flown back from London, was also extremely regretful after hearing about the takeover of the game.Had I known today, if they could have stayed in London until after the QPR game against Chelsea and obtained Lin Zhigao's first-hand interview materials, then the sensational effect of the show would have doubled!

Even the planners of the "World Soccer" program proposed whether to set up an hour in each program to comment on Lin Zhigao's performance in a week for domestic audiences. It is said that this proposal was really accepted by the directors. After discussing for a long time, it was agreed whether it was feasible.

……

Different from the previous training, outside the training ground of the Queens Park Rangers, many strangers suddenly appeared for some reason, and many of them were mysterious and sneaky people who wrapped their whole bodies.

From time to time, they cast their eyes on the training ground, or they were on the phone, or they simply picked up their mobile phones and took pictures with the camera.

The guards drove them away once or twice, but they didn't completely drive them away, and then let them go.

After a confrontation, the players either did relaxation exercises, or wiped sweat with towels to replenish drinking water. Bosroyd mysteriously said to Lin Zhigao: "Those people are not football players, but spies!"

"A spy?!"

"It's the people from other teams in the Premier League who came to inquire about the news!" Bosroyd said with some pride: "Beating Chelsea has made other teams fear our strength. In addition, we have been in the Premier League for more than ten years. Champions League, only returned to the Premier League this year, so almost all the Premier League teams in the world do not understand our tactics, so in order not to lose in the game, every club will have such a group of people, the job is to work on the training ground of other teams Go online to listen to the news and observe the tactics."

Lin Zhigao suddenly realized, "Then you should say that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never end in a hundred battles! You really surprised me by saying the word spy. I thought we were being targeted by MI[-]."

"Those elusive guys, how could we get involved with them. But in these football circles, apart from inspecting the teams, their real job is to inspect the players."

He patted Lin Zhigao on the shoulder vigorously, and Bosroyd said with a smirk: "Fight to Fame, Lin, I see that most of the players outside the training ground are here for you."

Lin Zhigao rolled his eyes, stopped talking to Bosroyd, and continued training.

But Bosroyd stuck behind Lin Zhigao, and said to him: "I said Lin, you are now the main player in almost every game, but your weekly salary is so pitiful, you should follow The club applied for a salary increase."

Lin Zhigao was very interested in this topic: "Can I take the initiative to ask for a raise?"

"Of course! As long as your performance is good enough, you can get a salary that matches your performance. Just ask your agent to talk to the club. The team can't do without you now, and the boss will definitely agree to you." This request."

"But, I don't have an agent."

"Uh..." Bosroyd rubbed his head and said, "Every star must have an agent, which is very important to your life. But don't be too picky about the candidates, your brothers and sisters, even your parents , as long as you want, you can be your agent. However, I think it is better to find a more formal and reliable agent. A good agent can help you get better treatment and help you contact more Good club...”

No one had ever told Lin Zhigao about this before, and he didn't even know that he actually needed an agent!So he immediately flattered Bosroyd, hoping that he could say a little more, and Bosroyd did not disappoint his expectations, and behaved very well as a teacher.

It didn't take long for Lin Zhigao to understand what an agent can help a player: a football agent can help the player deal with the contract issues with the club, bargain for the salary, and help the player connect with other business activities to make money, such as helping the player obtain Commercial endorsement contracts or something.It can also help players expand their influence and solve troubles.

In a word, many players have no time or energy to deal with, or things that they don't know how to deal with, there are agents who can handle it!Especially commercial endorsements!It is impossible for a player to go to the manufacturer by himself and say to them: Let me endorse your product!Manufacturers have no way, and they can't contact players to give them contracts, and the person standing between the two is the agent!

The brilliance of a world star is absolutely inseparable from a good agent.Football agents, on the other hand, generally enjoy higher annual incomes.10% of the player's contract amount is the agent's commission.Agents can also take a cut of the players' commercial income from advertising and business operations.Because of the huge profits made by football agents, many stars choose to let their relatives be their agents. There are countless such examples. The most typical one is Messi's agent is his father.

Most of the players choose their parents and brothers as their agents. On the one hand, they want to keep their fortunes in the fields of outsiders. On the other hand, if they easily choose a stranger as their agent, but the agent is a vampire... then this player future is worrying.

There are many profit-seeking agents who will deliberately destroy the relationship between the player and the club, or seek benefits for the player to receive too many commercial activities, but ignore the development of the player's career, or transfer the player to the club for a higher signing fee. Players are sent to the club with the highest bid rather than the best fit.The football geniuses who have been ruined by this in the history of the league are too numerous to enumerate.

However, choosing a loved one as a broker is not particularly insurance.Because of the fall of the famous French genius Nicolas Arnecka, it was because his insatiable agent brother resold Arnecka to many clubs in a few years in order to extract illegal commissions, which made Arnecka's competitive state rapidly He slipped, and even the rich and powerful shunned him.

Kaka left Milan to transfer to Real Madrid, which made him unable to exert his greatest strength, because his father repeatedly asked the club for a salary increase, which made AC Milan intolerable.The reason why Inter Milan's Balotelli transferred and left was also because his two brothers were too greedy.And the elder brother of the famous world star Ronaldinho received an illegal commission of 1160 million US dollars when he transferred to Barcelona...

After listening to Bosroyd's summaries, Lin Zhigao deeply felt that it is really important to choose a good character agent.In his future itinerary, this matter must be scheduled...

Lin Zhigao, who loves money, is not in China at this time, and his parents are not the kind of people who like to show off their children, so Lin Zhigao's positioning of himself as a "professional player" has not changed. How different it was before.But if Lin Zhigao can pay attention to domestic news and major forums at this time, he will know how popular he is, and how necessary it is to choose a broker to accept commercial contracts immediately.

After the day's training was over, Lin Zhigao had just stepped out of the gate of the base when several men rushed out and surrounded him, pushing each other, all vying to put their business cards into his hands first.

And their mouths are not idle: "Hello, I am football player Hank..." "I am a football agent..." "Both of them are not as good as me! I am definitely the agent that best meets your requirements People!" "Where did you come from! You all came earlier than me! You have to come in order!"

Lin Zhigao sorted out the business cards they had stuffed into their hands, and sure enough, he saw the column of job titles, which said either a certain football player or a certain football agent.

He coughed, drawing the attention of the people in front of him, and then said solemnly: "Sorry, I don't need an agent yet."

"What you need! My help can attract the attention of those giants!" "I can bring you countless commercial contracts!" "I can help you negotiate more salary with the club!"

Stuffing these business cards in his pocket casually, Lin Zhigao took advantage of the time when they were arguing with each other, and rushed to get rid of them: "I will contact you if necessary, so you don't have to come to me again!"

Lin Zhigao's speed was beyond the reach of several middle-aged bald men. Seeing that Lin Zhigao ran farther and farther and disappeared without a trace, they couldn't help but looked at each other, feeling annoyed.

……

At four o'clock in the morning, Lin Zhigao's cell phone rang suddenly.

He barely opened his eyes sleepily, took out his phone, and said "Hello".Lin Zhigao's father Lin Chang'an's voice immediately came from the opposite side: "Gao Gao, are you asleep?"

"...Dad, it's four o'clock in the morning in London."

"Oh, I forgot about this, so go to sleep, Gao Gao, I'll call you after a few hours when you get up."

Thinking that it would be dawn in London in a few hours, but it would be midnight in China, Lin Zhigao said, "I'm already awake, tell me what's up, Dad."

"Well, that's right. A few people who claimed to be officials of the Football Association came to our house today and asked if you are a registered player of the Football Association. I told your mother no, and they told you to go back to China when you have time. The identity has been registered. Also, several people who claimed to be brand managers also called or came to the door directly. They want to sign a contract with you and let you be their spokesperson."

"The team's games are very heavy, and I can't leave at all. If they come to you again, you can find a reason to push me away."

"Well, they are also officials. If anyone comes, we will push back. Isn't it too good-looking? By the way, the officials of the Football Association asked me to ask if you have signed an agent, if not. , They said they could recommend an excellent domestic football agent for you, but Gao Gao, you are a professional player, why do you need an agent like those stars?"

"I dare not take the ones recommended by the Football Association. Dad, are you interested in being my agent?"

Lin Chang'an smiled and said, "Your father, how do I know those things? I don't know anything about agents or football."

"Let's do this. I'll hurry up and find an agent right now, and then I'll give you his contact information. If someone comes to my house to look for me in the future, let them contact my agent."

"Okay, then Dad won't bother you anymore, Gao Gao, go back to sleep."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhigao was still holding the phone, and his head was about to fall asleep in a daze. The last thought that hovered in his mind was: With an agent, he can sign an endorsement contract, and then You can have a lot of money...
