I Just Can Score

this day.

European football is in a frenzy.

The world of football is in a state of excitement!

Florentino's presidential inauguration ceremony was a long-planned event. Everyone was mentally prepared. As early as more than ten days ago, he had already decided to resume his role as Real Madrid chairman. There was not even a single competitor. No one I would have thought that such a major event would happen on the same day - Zhen Shaolong was confirmed to join Real Madrid.

This incident happened very suddenly.

On May 28, the day of the Champions League final, some media analyzed that Zhen Shaolong would join Barcelona, ​​but the news quickly turned into news about Zhen Shaolong and Real Madrid. Before many people had time to digest, they heard that Zhen Shaolong was confirmed to join Real Madrid.

Is this too fast?

"Real Madrid has been in contact with Newcastle for a long time to discuss the transfer of Zhen Shaolong." A Real Madrid official who did not want to be named said with certainty in an interview, "The negotiations took a very long time. Everyone knows that this It will be an unimaginable transfer and an unimaginable big deal. Breaking the record is just the most basic thing. Almost at the bidding stage, everyone knows that the record will be broken."

"Real Madrid is not the only club operating the transfer. Manchester City is also an important participant. There is probably a lot of related news. The specific details of the cooperation between the two clubs are not convenient to disclose at the moment."

The whole world is reporting on Zhen Shaolong’s joining.

The media discussed enthusiastically. They analyzed various details about Zhen Shaolong's joining. The video of the press conference was also continuously forwarded, cut and reported by various media. Every performance and every action of Zhen Shaolong can be seen. Make media headlines.

Many media discussed "Zhen Shaolong dozed off at the press conference".

Many stars, celebrities, and head coaches have participated in the topic. Former Real Madrid star David Beckham said, "He probably can't stand Pereira's nagging. When Pereira talks, he follows the same pattern. It's the same thing, and it's the same in front of us (players). No one has shown it before, and it feels a bit disrespectful, but this is the Zhen I know."

"It's not that he was disrespectful, but he was really sleepy. He probably didn't care, he was taking everything very easy."

"It's a sign of confidence."

Real Madrid's 'Prince of the Bernabeu' Raul said, "Welcome Zhen Shaolong to Real Madrid. I am really excited to hear the news. Everyone says that he is the number one forward, and he will become my teammate immediately.

I believe we will create brilliance together and help Real Madrid reach new heights. "

"Of course, it is also important for Pereira to return. But he is the chairman and I am just an ordinary player. There is a generation gap between us..."

Michael Owen, who is being hyped by the British media to join Manchester United, said in an interview, "I have known for a long time that he is going to Real Madrid. He is not taboo about transfer topics. It is the same for each of us."

"I believe he will be successful at Real Madrid, but equally I will try to be successful and maybe we will become Champions League opponents."

Newcastle United coach Kevin Keegan was preparing to take his family to Hawaii for a vacation. He said in an interview at the airport, "This is something difficult to accept. Every head coach hopes to have a player like Zhen, but I respect Mr. Ashley's decision because it was an irresistible number."

When asked about the specific transfer fee, Kevin Keegan shook his head and said, "I was not involved in the transfer. It is holiday time now. Holidays are difficult but beautiful. Instead of thinking about sad things, it is better to spend time with my family." Spend more time together.”

Kevin Keegan's interview was well received and most people thought he was 'chilling'.

Another person involved, Michael Ashley, was not so cool. He faced fan rallies for two consecutive days.

Most Newcastle fans knew that Zhen Shaolong was leaving. They had held rallies and opposed before, but in the end they were unable to stop Zhen Shaolong from leaving. Zhen Shaolong was determined to leave for Real Madrid. They gathered together in front of the club and in front of Ashley's manor. The collective shouted slogans of opposition, and some extreme fans even yelled at the windows, and some threw garbage, debris, and even dangerous items such as bricks and tomatoes into the manor.

Then Ashley couldn't find anyone.

According to rumors, Ashley secretly went to London. He was even planning to go to Switzerland to live for a period of time and then return when next season is about to start. However, the confirmed news given by The Times is that Ashley took a bus to Saudi Arabia. Arab, "Maybe he is talking to a certain prince about the value of the club. The name of the new president tomorrow will be Abdullah and Mohammed."

at the same time.

Many people came forward to analyze the transfer and believed that Real Madrid had made a failed investment. For example, Manchester United coach Ferguson said, "Every transfer the club makes must be considered very comprehensively. Real Madrid is obviously unwise. They use If you buy a player with an astonishing amount of money, even if he (Zhen Shaolong) performs well, you will suffer huge losses."

Hopfner, one of Bayern Munich's three giants, also holds a similar view, "Any club operation needs to consider support and benefits. I am opposed to using large sums of money to buy a star, even if he is the best in the world. Yes, football is a team sport, and he (Zhen Shaolong) is indeed very good, but as long as it exceeds 100 million euros, it is not worth it."

The statements of the above two people were quickly discredited.

On the second day after Zhen Shaolong was confirmed to join Real Madrid, that is, in the early morning of June 2, between nine and ten o'clock, 36,000 No. 13 jerseys were quickly sold through Real Madrid's channels alone.

Thirty-six thousand pieces!

One hour!

This number far exceeds the record set by Beckham during his transfer: 8,000 shirts sold in one hour.

Zhen Shaolong has just joined, and Real Madrid has already made a small profit.

In addition, one of Real Madrid's sponsors, Standard Chartered Bank, has a contract with Real Madrid that expires this year, and they are preparing to renew the contract for five years.

It was originally expected that the five-year sponsorship fee of the new contract would be only 30 million US dollars (Standard Chartered Bank is only a small sponsor of Real Madrid), an increase of 40% from the previous five years. When the news of Zhen Shaolong’s transfer and joining was confirmed, Standard Chartered Bank immediately transferred the sponsorship. The fee was raised to US$45 million, and Real Madrid reluctantly planned to continue negotiations.

soon.

A video of Zhen Shaolong and Zidane competing against each other was released by the official website of "AS Daily" and placed on the big picture recommendation on the homepage of the website. The amazing skills displayed by Zhen Shaolong amazed everyone.

"How can this be……"

"Isn't it a synthetic effect? ​​It doesn't feel real to me!"

"The video is continuous. It has been slowed down eight times and there is no frame skipping. It should have been shot on location, but it is so amazing!"

"Is Zhen Shaolong's technique so good?"

"He is the number one star..."

The video quickly became popular on the entire Internet, and the media rushed to repost it. Even the completely unrelated "British Economic News" also reposted the video to increase the popularity, not to mention other media.

Just one day.

The video has been played more than 9 million times in Europe, and China has the largest number of views, quickly exceeding 20 million. Many netizens play it over and over again. They watch it continuously and are shocked by the content.

"Asian Daily" attracted a huge amount of traffic by publishing the video, and they really made a fortune. They even quickly paid a share of 800,000 euros to Zhen Shaolong, and Zidane also received 200,000 euros. million euros. The person in charge of "Aspen" said that there will be related shares in the future, and the amount is expected to be no less than the part that has been received.

Zhen Shaolong happily took the share and hesitated whether he should call Zidane to urge the promised 10,000 euros to be received as soon as possible.

This guy subsequently earned two hundred thousand euros. It would be a bit too much to hold off on paying the promised ten thousand euros!

Actually.

Zidane was also grinning happily.

Two hundred thousand euros.

Even when he played for Real Madrid three years ago, it was almost his income per week. From the moment he officially retired, his income dropped sharply because without a fixed salary from the club, he could only use his fame to receive some sponsorships. Contracts and sponsorship fees have also fallen sharply.

Two hundred thousand euros is almost more than a month’s current income!

"It seems that I will stay with Zhen Shaolong more in the future." Zidane thought carefully, "When the new season comes, as long as it is an open training with reporters around, I will have a test with Zhen Shaolong..."

"But maybe it would be good to work with Zhen Shaolong to make videos. Anyway, the job now is very easy. 'Advisor to the Chairman' is almost the same as an office clerk. I should also find other ways to make money." Zidane suddenly found a way to make a fortune.

Many people believe that after Zidane retires, he should consider becoming a head coach, relying on his ability and experience to continue to play football and create further glory.

In fact, Zidane has no intention of becoming a football coach at all.

Since retiring in 2006, Zidane has considered doing some other jobs, and club management would be a good job. He has long said that he will return to Real Madrid to do some work when Florentino takes office.

Now Zidane has discovered a new way to make money, and it feels very innovative and up to date.

"I'm such a genius!"

Zidane thought, "This will definitely make a lot of money. As long as you stay at Real Madrid, you will have the opportunity to contact many stars. Zhen Shaolong is the best partner."

As for the ‘PARTY’ money owed to Zhen Shaolong?

Not in a hurry!

Last season has just ended, and there is still more than a month before Real Madrid's official training camp. Ten thousand euros in the bank also earns a lot of interest!

————

Zhen Shaolong’s transfer is actually kept secret. Even if Real Madrid is unwilling to announce the details, and Manchester City has spent money, it is impossible for them to be willing to hold back. They still come forward to bring hope to the fans, "In three seasons, Zhen Shaolong will become Manchester City players!”

Mubarak also said, "If Zhen Shaolong can maintain his condition, we will also consider activating the buyout clause, and he will become a Manchester City player next season."

This is not good news for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid aggressively announced that Zhen Shaolong would join, but Manchester City quickly announced that Zhen Shaolong would become a Manchester City player. This was completely a certain level of disruption. However, there is no doubt that after Zhen Shaolong's transfer was confirmed, Real Madrid and Manchester City no longer had a cooperative relationship. When it comes to Zhen Shaolong, it is more of a competition.

As long as Zhen Shaolong performs well, competition will exist, otherwise both sides will stand on a united front (losing money together).

Transfer details were soon revealed.

"The Sun" announced the news, "Real Madrid and Manchester City jointly paid 220 million euros for the transfer of Zhen Shaolong, including an upfront joint payment of 100 million euros, and a subsequent 120 million euros, which will be paid within six months. Paid by Real Madrid."

"In addition, Real Madrid were exchanged for three players from Newcastle, namely Huntelaar, Negredo and Saviola."

"Newcastle used Zhen Shaolong in exchange for 220 million euros, plus three outstanding forwards, Huntelaar, Negredo, and Saviola. It is difficult to say whether the transaction is a profit or a loss, but it is like club chairman Ashe As Li said, 'This is a deal no one can refuse.'"

"This is the first time in the world for such a large-scale transaction. The previous record transfer fee was still set by Zidane, but it was only a fraction of Zhen Shaolong's transfer fee."

"Real Madrid and Manchester City have made a big bet together. Whether they make a profit or lose depends on Zhen Shaolong's performance. In addition, we cannot ignore the huge commercial potential of Zhen Shaolong. According to the analysis of the "Wall Street Journal", the commercial potential of Zhen Shaolong is obviously Higher than David Beckham, because he is from China and has China’s huge market behind him. It is even said that Zhen Shaolong’s commercial value in the next ten years will be five or six times that of David Beckham. , judging from the current situation, Zhen Shaolong’s endorsement income has exceeded that of Beckham.”

"He is already the highest-paid football player and will soon become the highest-paid athlete. You can even expect him to become the highest-paid star."

At the same time as the media reports, Zhen Shaolong's annual contract salary was also disclosed - 2,300 euros after tax.

This income is comparable to the million-dollar-a-week contract that Beckham signed when he joined the LA Galaxy. However, there is no comparison between the two parties because when Beckham signed the contract, the LA Galaxy also obtained part of his image rights. Some of his income from commercial endorsements, advertising sponsorships, etc. will be signed by the Los Angeles Galaxy, while Zhen Shaolong's contract is just salary income. He has become the only Real Madrid star whose image rights are completely in his own hands.

At present, professional players sign contracts with clubs, and some with higher commercial value will be required to take away part of their image rights when joining a wealthy club.

Real Madrid's practice is 40 percent.

But there are also wealthy clubs that will not force themselves to demand image rights. For example, Messi’s image rights are all in his own hands. Messi has just received a contract with an annual salary of 12 million euros and has become the third highest-paid football star in the world (the second is Beckham).

For many professional players, there is no income gap between Zhen Shaolong, Beckham, and Messi, because they are all numbers they look up to.

C-Ronaldo has similar feelings.

C-Ronaldo thinks he is no worse than Messi, but he only has a contract with a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds, and his total annual salary is only 6 million pounds. After deducting a large part of the rich tax, his after-tax salary income is really pitiful.

In addition, C-Ronaldo's commercial income is also much worse.

Although Ronaldo performed very well at Manchester United, the entire Premier League's attention is focused on Zhen Shaolong, and he does not look too dazzling. Last year, his commercial income was only about 4 million pounds.

This income is relatively pitiful.

C-Ronaldo is quite dissatisfied with his income. He believes that his level is no worse than Messi, and he is much more handsome than Messi. His popularity is definitely not worse than Messi, but the income of the two is different. Three times, four times.

How does this work?

Ronaldo was naturally very dissatisfied. In an interview in May, he said, "I may leave Manchester United in the new season."

His words caused dissatisfaction among Manchester United fans.

However, the dissatisfaction of fans cannot affect the stars' pursuit of high income and pursuit of higher honors. C-Ronaldo knows that he will continue to stay at Manchester United and the current situation will not change much in the next few seasons.

So I have to leave!

There are currently many clubs interested in C-Ronaldo, such as Inter Milan, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Barcelona. It is impossible for C-Ronaldo to choose Barcelona. He refuses to be in the same team as Messi. Because he knows that he will be suppressed - Messi comes from La Masia, he is just a temporary transfer player, even if the performance is similar, the club's first choice player is Messi.

Manchester City...impossible!

C-Ronaldo doesn't want to break up with the club, and Manchester City is really bad.

C-Ronaldo is very interested in Inter Milan, but Inter Milan has already acquired Eto'o and does not seem to intend to spend a lot of money to introduce a player who may not adapt to Serie A.

Then C-Ronaldo found that he had no choice and Real Madrid was the only possible destination.

Ronaldo's transfer didn't go smoothly.

Manchester United knew that Ronaldo wanted to leave, but they did not want to let him go easily. They asked Real Madrid for a sky-high price. Mendes was working hard to manage Ronaldo's transfer. He told Ronaldo, "Florentino I have almost lost interest because your transfer fee is too high."

As the intermediary between Manchester United and Real Madrid, Mendes proposed a price of 85 million euros.

Manchester United agrees.

Real Madrid disagrees.

Mendes incidentally proposed an intermediary fee of 10 million euros, which could be reduced to 6 million euros, while Florentino made an embarrassing offer, "65 million euros!"

The price is really outrageous.

C-Ronaldo is more embarrassed. He has basically fallen out with Manchester United and hopes to join Real Madrid to pursue honors. Real Madrid's international image will also help improve his image. As long as he can join Real Madrid, his income will increase significantly.

What should we do now?

C-Ronaldo stood in the room restlessly, and his plan to go on vacation was postponed. Before there was no definite news about the transfer, he was not in the mood to go on vacation at all.

"Real Madrid... Real Madrid..."

"Zhen Shaolong has confirmed to join Real Madrid, it's this guy..." C-Ronaldo said sadly, "If it weren't for him, maybe my transfer would have been finalized long ago."

But there is no way.

Football is a competitive sport, and professional players also compete. In the competition between him and Zhen Shaolong, he is obviously at an absolute disadvantage.

What should we do now?

C-Ronaldo thought carefully and again, and finally thought of Zhen Shaolong. Zhen Shaolong’s extremely high transfer to Real Madrid must have a certain influence, “If he publicly expresses his hope to be in the same team with me and hopes to partner with me, Maybe Real Madrid will change their attitude?"

"But our relationship isn't that good, right?"

C-Ronaldo hesitated for a long time, but decided to call Zhen Shaolong. He had to fight for his face even if he drank, otherwise he would be very depressed.

He called it.

Zhen Shaolong is still in Madrid, and he is packing up his new home.

Real Madrid helped contact some properties. Zhen Shaolong had just received a signing fee of 5 million euros and decided to continue to buy properties luxuriously.

Real estate in Madrid is still valuable, right?

Maybe?

Zhen Shaolong bought a small manor-style villa, located around the commercial district on the west side of Madrid. It is a bit far from Real Madrid Club, but very close to Real Madrid's training base, Valdebebas.

Zhen Shaolong bought it considering the location. The small manor was not too luxurious, but because it was slightly larger in area and came with a luxurious swimming pool, the location was quite good, so the price still reached 4.1 million euros.

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

Zhen Shaolong was still very distressed after spending more than four million euros in one breath, but considering his own influence, he bought a non-manor-style residence. Because it was too close to the neighborhood, he would probably be disturbed by fans and reporters every day, and would also be disturbed. There are enough opportunities for paparazzi to take photos, but he doesn't want his life to be exposed every day.

"It's a pity that Laura can't come for the time being." Zhen Shaolong felt a little regretful.

After buying a residence, Zhen Shaolong hired a cleaning company and a decoration company to tidy up the house and garden. However, he still likes to clean up the bedroom, study and gym by himself. He must be familiar with the places he often stays.

While Zhen Shaolong was busy, he heard the phone ringing.

"Ronaldo?"

He turned on the answer button a little strangely, and heard a lot of greetings from Ronaldo, "Have you found a place to live?"

"Where are you going on vacation?"

"It is said that you have a girlfriend? I know, Eileen, there are many news reports..."

"I think you look good in casual clothes."

"..."

Zhen Shaolong dealt with it for a while, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he shouted and asked, "What on earth are you going to say!"

"I……"

C-Ronaldo hesitated for a long time before expressing his thoughts, hoping that Zhen Shaolong would openly express to Real Madrid that he wanted to be his teammate.

"But... I don't really want to..." Zhen Shaolong said hesitantly, "And I don't care about the team's transfer."

C-Ronaldo was so angry that he wanted to curse.

no way!

People under the eaves have to bow their heads!

"I really want to be a teammate with you, Zhen. I really want to. I hope to join Real Madrid and create our glory with you..."

"But……"

"Zhen, do you know? I admire you very much. You are the best shooter. I have always known that as long as I can be a teammate with you, I will go on..."

C-Ronaldo started to say that he felt that he had lost all his moral integrity.

Zhen Shaolong found that it felt really good to be praised, especially when the opponent was a top star and could even be called a 'competitor'. He was so praised that he felt relaxed.

Then he agreed...

When Zhen Shaolong put down the phone, he didn't know how he agreed. He immediately regretted it. He never interfered in transfer matters. As a player, there was no need to take care of the club's transfers.

"How to do it?"

Zhen Shaolong doesn’t want to go to Real Madrid to find Florentino, Valdano or others and say, ‘I hope to be teammates with Ronaldo’, but it’s not his style not to do what he has promised.

A man!

no sooner said than done!

Zhen Shaolong turned on the phone and decided to send a tweet, "Joining Real Madrid is a new beginning. I'm looking forward to next season.

Cristiano Ronaldo is an excellent player and can barely be considered my friend...

I look forward to becoming teammates with Ronaldo, but I don’t know if he can join Real Madrid. "

Then, no more.

After Zhen Shaolong finished tweeting, he closed the computer. He felt that he had done his best and whether he could help or not was none of his business. 8)
