I Just Can Score

Media news is a booster of fame.

Amid the turmoil in the outside media, Zhen Shaolong's reputation seems to have become even louder. Any move he makes will become media news. For example, when he went out to the club the next morning, he was chased by reporters and filmed continuously. The report issued stated that he He is a 'diligence in training' and a 'model of diligence for professional players'.

but……

That day was just because the sports car was sent for professional cleaning. He didn't want to drive an ordinary car out, so he simply exercised early and ran to the club.

Regardless, becoming more famous is definitely a good thing.

For stars in any field, fame often means income.

Zhen Shaolong soon received new income - a special sponsorship from Adidas.

Adidas has launched sportswear and sneakers named after "Zhen Shaolong". The works of the world's top designers are naturally different. In order to reflect the characteristics of China, the jerseys and sneakers also have a dragon pattern. The overall feeling is low-key and luxurious. It is not easy for sportswear to reflect luxury. Naturally, the price of sportswear and sneakers is also very luxurious, including a hat similar to a baseball cap. The price of a set together is as high as 420 pounds.

This price is a bit expensive for sportswear.

certainly.

How Adidas sets the price has nothing to do with Zhen Shaolong. Adidas's publicity is all about him. In addition to taking relevant photos and advertisements, Adidas also decided to increase investment in publicity and let Zhen Shaolong wear full clothes before and after the game against Liverpool. He appeared in public view for more than ten minutes combined.

This is an additional requirement.

Adidas paid $800,000 for the ten-minute appearance.

Eight hundred thousand dollars, ten minutes, an average of eighty thousand dollars per minute, and one second of appearance is as high as more than thirteen hundred dollars. With such rapid gains, Zhen Shaolong could not find any reason to refuse, so he decisively agreed to additional sponsorship from Adidas. .

Adidas is not giving away money for free. They have decided to add additional sponsorships. One is that Zhen Shaolong's reputation has become so popular recently that the whole world seems to be talking about him. In addition, the game between Newcastle United and Liverpool is very important and can even be said to determine this season. The ownership of the Premier League champion will attract the attention of the whole world. Whether it is before or after the game, Zhen Shaolong will be reported by the world as long as he appears, and his images will appear on every TV station.

This is the best publicity opportunity.

On the other hand, the effect of promotional photos, advertisements, etc. will not be ideal, because everyone knows that they are deliberately taken, and few people will take the initiative to see the advertisements.

After playing the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Arsenal, Newcastle United faced two league games. The first game was against Portsmouth, and the opponent in the second game was league rival Liverpool. .

Liverpool is the second game, and it’s still a bit early.

Newcastle United first played against Portsmouth. It was an away game. The whole team went to Portsmouth Fratton Park in Hampton, England, and started a battle with the home team Portsmouth.

It’s really a big war!

Portsmouth, who are at risk of being relegated, will not miss any opportunity to score points. Even if the opponent is Newcastle United, they play very actively and their defense is even more airtight. Their goal is to get a point. .

This also gives Newcastle United a headache.

Zhen Shaolong had more headaches than any of his teammates. He was stared at in the frontcourt, and it was difficult to catch the ball outside the penalty area. He could only keep running and waiting for opportunities, but he still helped the team complete the goal. In the 59th minute, after receiving an overhead pass from Milner, he turned his back to the goal and lobbed the ball successfully into the Portsmouth gate.

This was also the only goal in the game.

In the 70th minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong was replaced by head coach Keegan.

At that time, it was only a one-goal lead, but Keegan was worried about Zhen Shaolong's physical condition. Because the game with Liverpool was about to start, he would have to rest more. Fortunately, Portsmouth failed to score in the remaining time. .

Zhen Shaolong scored the only goal of the game. In theory, his performance was very good. However, after the game, many media believed that his performance had declined. There was no way to compare with Arsenal's state in that game.

This argument has been widely followed.

Zhen Shaolong looked at the reports and felt that the media was right. He was indeed in poor condition. How could this game compare with the last one?

There were temporary skill effects in the previous game, but this time I could only rely on my own skills, and my strength and status were not at the same level.

"It would be nice if I was in good shape every game..."

Zhen Shaolong lamented.

But winning the game is the best news, because rival Liverpool has drawn. This round, Liverpool’s opponent is Arsenal. Many people are optimistic about Liverpool. Firstly, Liverpool’s performance is very strong and there is no drag from the Champions League. Secondly, Arsenal Arsenal had just suffered a huge defeat in the first round of the Champions League, and their morale would definitely be affected, but in the end Arsenal drew with Liverpool, and the score of 4 to 4 shows how intense the game was.

This game also became the center of media coverage.

Newcastle United relied on a small victory over Portsmouth to surpass Liverpool in the standings and return to the top spot.

Only one point separates the two teams.

Before, Liverpool had one point more than Newcastle United, but now Newcastle United has one point more than Liverpool. One point cannot guarantee an advantage. The next direct match between the two teams has become the most focused battle in the league.

"Premier League final!"

Many media labeled the game in advance.

When facing the Premier League championship competition, both Newcastle United and Liverpool will attach great importance to it.

Very annoyed before the game.

Newcastle United players were interviewed and all expressed their confidence in the game and their determination to strive for the league championship.

"We want to successfully defend our title!"

This is the slogan of the entire Newcastle United team.

Liverpool did not keep a low profile either. Many players stood up to express their determination. Even Benitez, who has always been low-key and is considered a 'house-style coach', appeared in the media's field of vision and issued a very positive declaration: "This game , we must win!”

"I believe any fan who follows the Premier League knows how important the league championship is to Liverpool!"

"Since the 1990s, Liverpool's name has never appeared in the Premier League championship. Manchester United, Blackburn, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle United. Among the best teams in England, we are the only one who has not won the championship. !”

"Everyone desires a championship, even more important than the European championship. For us, the Premier League championship is not only the championship, but also the most important honor. It is a milestone that marks the club's return to the top!"

"The entire club, including players, fans, everyone, is confident that we can play this game well."

"They are just fighting for honor, and we are defending dignity!"

Benitez made a splash without saying a word, saying, 'They are just competing for honor, and we are defending dignity.' It immediately became a hit in the entire media. Liverpool fans expressed the same feeling. Many people said, "Benitez Si spoke our hearts!”

Newcastle United are really just competing for honours.

As the league champion last season, there is actually a big difference between winning the league title this season. The competition for the Champions League championship is more important to Newcastle United. From a century-old historical performance, the Champions League champion will also represent Newcastle United's achievement of a century. At the top, that is definitely more meaningful than simply winning the league championship.

Liverpool is different.

As the 'traditional aristocracy' of England, Liverpool has never fallen out of the first tier and is a strong contender for the league championship every season. The tragedy is here, they are qualified to compete for the championship every year, but ultimately fail every year. They must use a league championship to defend the dignity that belongs to Liverpool and to the traditional nobility of England.

While the media is discussing the significance of winning the championship, they will also be concerned about the status of the two teams.

Liverpool are in pretty good shape, and there are basically no injuries to the main players. Judging from the last game against Arsenal, the overall state and fighting spirit shown are quite good. Although it ended up being a draw, it was also because of Arsenal's performance. It's really good. In addition, Liverpool is still playing away from home, and being able to score four goals at the Emirates Stadium is enough to prove Liverpool's strong firepower in the frontcourt.

Newcastle United is relatively worse.

The strength and condition of other players are secondary. The media is mainly concerned about Zhen Shaolong. In the game against Portsmouth, Zhen Shaolong was considered to be in "bad condition". He only scored one goal in the game and did not touch the ball many times. Doesn't contribute much to the offense.

"Zhen Shaolong's condition will determine the outcome. The key is that his condition does not seem to be good and has obviously been affected by recent reports."

"Barcelona actually proposed that UEFA add rules to restrict Zhen Shaolong. For any player, having his technical performance restricted would be a huge blow..."

"I hope Zhen Shaolong can get out of this predicament."

"He can only rely on himself. In fact, it is still unclear what UEFA will do. Although they have decided to form a group to discuss, changing the rules of the game is a big thing, and adding rules to restrict one player alone will definitely It will cause huge public response..."

The discussion in the media news made Zhen Shaolong feel helpless again.

Is he in bad shape?

Who said that?

Zhen Shaolong didn't feel that his condition was bad at all. On the contrary, he felt that his condition was very good. What's more, even if his condition was really bad, the effect of his own skills would not be affected, and his performance would naturally not be greatly affected.

so……

What is everyone discussing?

Zhen Shaolong found that he couldn't understand the world. It seemed that he lived in one dimension and others lived in another dimension. There was no intersection with each other. He obviously felt that he was in good condition, but the outside world just said that his condition was not good.

All right……

Zhen Shaolong felt very helpless, and the key system seemed to think that his condition was not good, "Tip: There is a new system task triggered.

The outside world is questioning your competitive status. You need to conform to the atmosphere of public opinion and show poor competitive status.
