Chapter 30 The end of the season
Change team?

It's not that Lin Lian has never thought about it. The atmosphere in Lazio's team is okay, but many fans have objections to his skin color. He doesn't feel much warmth in Rome, but often makes uncomfortable remarks.

But right now, it's not the time to leave.

He has not succeeded yet. Even if he leaves Lazio, he can only start from scratch. How to adapt is still a huge problem. How much time can Chinese players waste in other places?
Moreover, next season marks the 100th anniversary of Lazio's establishment, and the chances of winning the league championship are particularly high. If they win the championship, their resume will look much better.Besides, even if there are offers from other teams, Lazio will not let people go.

This summer, Lazio will also play a friendly match with the China National Football Team to kick off the team's centennial celebration, and Lin Lian cannot be absent.

Temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​transfer.

Zahavi has other news. Many businesses are planning to invite Lin Lian to be their spokesperson.

"There are a lot of endorsement companies, and D&G is the one with the highest offer. They offer an annual endorsement fee of 8 US dollars. I guess they are optimistic about your future influence and want to use your influence to open up the Chinese market."

Lin Lian squinted his eyes, not knowing why, but the name made him uncomfortable, "I don't feel comfortable hearing this company, please help me reject it."

Zahavi was stunned. This is a luxury brand with a lot of dog licks. It is rare for football players to endorse it, which shows that they want to open up the Chinese market.

But Lin Lian refused cleanly, a little unreasonably.

Zahavi respects the opinions of employers, "In addition, there is FILA, they want you to endorse their sneakers, and the endorsement fee is 5 US dollars per year. FILA has a lot of ambitions, and Hidetoshi Nakata is under their banner. I think they are ready to expand further. Asia market."

Lin Lian didn't say anything, but Zahavi continued, "And Nike, they are vying for the market with Adidas and need strong and attractive players to open up the market. You are a good choice. Of course, they definitely hope to use this to compete. Entering the Huaxia market, the quotation is 5 US dollars for 20 years."

"Adidas' offer is $7 for seven years, with an incremental mechanism."

Lin Lian listened slowly, these quotations are not high!Especially the two giants, obviously want to spend a small amount of money to do big things, and their sincerity is not even as good as FILA, but FILA has already signed Hidetoshi Nakata, and Lin Lian will not hang on the back of the car.

"Are there others? None of these are ideal, and they have exclusive effects, so it's hard to choose."

Zahavi kept staring at Lin Lian and nodded slightly. It is not easy for young people not to be stunned by big brands and to keep calm in front of huge sums of money. Sure enough, the picture is not small.

"There are not very good choices at present. I don't recommend you to sign with some ordinary brands. After all, it doesn't match your future positioning." Zahavi is not in a hurry, "I think, with your performance, as long as you continue to improve, the endorsement fee It will continue to increase. During this period of time, I will contact other first-line merchants. Both Puma and Umbro are interested in you, but they have not yet quoted.”

"Okay, you can help me pay attention, this matter can't be vague."

Most of the current player endorsements are concentrated in sneakers. Adi, Nike, Umbro, and Puma are fiercely competitive, and there are dozens of brands, large and small, which are very prosperous, and there is no situation where a few brands dominate.

Gao Qi also brought good news, "Although I don't want Mr. Pini to have so many choices, but two Japanese brands want to sign with you, they are asics and adler, and their target is only the Chinese market, so It was me who was looking for."

Asics has already signed Nesta in the Lazio team. It has factories in Japan and Italy. It is currently preparing to start production in China. It is definitely the best choice to sign Lin Lian, the most talented and promising player in China. The quotation is not high, 50 RMB, but it is only limited to China.

In contrast, Adler is not bad at all. The representative of the Japanese handmade football shoe brand sponsored the 1997 UEFA Champions League final. Almost all players in that game used this sneaker.The price is similar to that of asics, 50 RMB, which is also limited to China.

Lin Lian had a bit of a headache. If he signed a contract for sneakers, it would not be appropriate to switch to a Japanese brand in China.

"Release the news first, each model will increase the endorsement fee by 5 yuan, and feel the atmosphere of the market." Lin Lian smiled, "As long as the sponsorship fee can be greatly increased, even if I sign the contract next year, I will not lose money."

With tens of thousands of dollars still in hand, Lin Lian was not in a hurry. It was more important to win the championship. As long as there was a championship and the Huaxia Guoda market was backed by it, wouldn't it be fearful that the sponsors would not wave their money and rush over?

Smelly feet will be held, even licked.

Gao Qi smiled, "The leaders of the Football Association have spoken. They want you to enter the national team, at least the Olympic team, and their attitude is quite tough."

"Did they agree to our conditions?" Every player is obliged to play for the country. Even if our national team is rubbish, it doesn't mean that Lin Lian will obey unconditionally.

He didn't want to participate in the team's military training. It was an inexplicable training method. He ran [-] meters before the competition, which was not professional at all.Moreover, he didn't want to participate in unnecessary friendly matches. Lin Lian had to ensure his physical condition, and he couldn't handle too many matches.

Not to mention not playing too much when you are young, to prevent premature growth of muscles, and limit the upper limit of skills, but the body is fully mature, and the fatigue and physical damage caused by too many games are very heavy burdens. He still wants to do more. How many years have you been playing?
"I haven't agreed yet. They think you are just a young man who must obey the management. Moreover, you must improve your self-cultivation and serve the country. This is a must."

"Then wait, don't worry." Lin Lian narrowed his eyes. Before he got the grades, he really didn't have the confidence to negotiate. He couldn't be tough even if he was tough. Others didn't like you at all.

In the past few years, including the next many years and the many years before it, the Football Association has been in chaos, with laymen guiding experts and killing people.

In fact, the season belonging to Lin Lian is over. His appearance in the European Cup Winners Cup final is already the last game.

In the last game of the league, Lazio played against Parma. Lazio persisted until the end and defeated Parma 2:1, ending the season with a victory.

However, AC Milan still won the last two games. Neither Empoli nor Perugia could stop AC Milan from the centennial celebration.

I'm not kidding you, Hidetoshi Nakata is really unreliable.

Perugia failed to stop AC Milan in the last game, and Lazio successfully lost the league title.In the beautiful moment of AC Milan's centenary celebration, the team won the league championship and gave the best gift to the fans.

Perugia seems to be suffocating. Next season, he will kill Juventus in the last rainy night game, send Lazio to the championship, the black umbrella of his dream, and the bald referee Collina who is showing off.

Of course, this is just Lin Lian's own thoughts. No one knows what the next season will look like.
