Chapter 377 Final Night
Li Yu has refused to attend any media and business activities since she returned to China. The purpose of coming to China is to let Jenny meet with her parents to discuss marriage.
Originally, it was planned that after the World Cup, Li Yu and Jenny would fly to Miami for vacation.
However, Li Yu was finally forced to agree to Nike's requirements to promote Tenglong products in China.Nike is also ready to renew the contract with Li Yu to reduce the endorsement fee and improve the final benefit dividend. Li Yu will also get 20% of the shares in the sub-brand of Tenglong!
This contract is not tempting. For athletes, this is already a sky-high contract.
It is estimated that only Jordan in the basketball world can be comparable to Li Yu.
Nike has seen the future potential of Li Yu. His career is now at the beginning, and there is still a long time in the future. A huge contract is firmly tied to Li Yu to achieve a win-win situation.
Of course, the details of the contract will not be announced to the outside world. Everything is the speculation of the media.
Li Yu also finally came to the public, sacrificing her personal time to stand up for Nike and be an endorsement.
In several first-tier cities in China, Li Yu kept going around in four days. No city will have a media and fan meeting, and finally there will be another signing activity.
In the past, what kind of NBA stars came to China to make money, but now they are world-class sports stars, and they have to support them even more. The fans are very enthusiastic, and every event is very popular.
Jenny accompanied Li Yu all the way, playing the role of a female model and a female assistant. The husband and wife fought together, which gave the media enough gimmicks to earn the page.
The last stop of the event was held in Yanjing. The day was more like a grand ceremony than a media meeting.
There are many stars in Chinese sports, and sports people who have cooperative relations with Nike have also been present.
Li Yu doesn't have much contact with the Chinese sports community. Most people just occasionally say a few greetings. Of course, there are still many sports people who have become famous in China and take the initiative to find Li Yu to ask for a group photo and sign.
From this point alone, it is not difficult to see that Li Yu is an alternative in Chinese sports.
The idol of the star in the eyes of the public is definitely the most shining protagonist that night.
Nike also announced the extension of the contract with Li Yu at the dinner party. Of course, the age of this contract is also enviable, 20 years!
The incredible contract, and the people present were shocked. The professional life of an athlete is almost 20 years, which is not the time to become famous in the early stage. If some people become famous, they can't have 20 years of sports life.
If the people present know the content of the contract, I guess they will envy Li Yu.
There are also subsidiary shares. In fact, this is a disguised cooperation, but a single star endorsement.
Back to the hotel, Li Yu was already very tired, but Jenny seemed to be very interested. She was really excited today. This huge contract was more like a huge gift for the two of them. Of course, she was very excited. Others did not know the content of the contract. She knew it.
This means that Li Yu can earn at least $40 million a year from Nike alone, which is still a conservative figure.
Jenny didn't expect that a professional athlete would have such an income level.
But she forgot that with such a huge market as Huaxia, there are only a few athletes in the world who can make Nike such a painstaking effort. At present, there is only Jordan, and now there is another Li Yu.
There is only one person in one field!
It can be said that Li Yu has taken a big step forward by the huge market in China. Now whoever owns Asia has the support to make money. Of course, Li Yu's own strength is also there. The spokesperson of Adidas is Messi, but compared with Li Yu, Adidas's football equipment is big in Asia. It has been a long distance from Nike.
Tenglong is in China and has been deeply popular in Asia. When basketball shoes are on the market in limited quantities, the situation of queuing up to sweep goods can also be seen on the limited clothing of the Tamron series.
The performance during the World Cup is also like a booster, which stimulates the popularity of the Tamron series in Asia and even around the world.
Nike is not a fool. When he sees the benefits, he will throw out such a huge contract and hold Li Yu.
During Li Yu's series of activities, the three or four finals of the World Cup have been completed.
Germany defeated Uruguay 3:2 in the end and won the World Cup runner-up.
Three or four finals were nicknamed the "loser's game". After defeating Uruguay, Germany won the record four third place in the World Cup and became the first team to win the third place in the second place. Sports Pictures comforted the fans after Germany missed the finals. "As long as we win the third place over Uruguay, we may copy the path of defeating Uruguay in the third place in 1970 and winning the 1974 World Cup!" How to break the ice in four years? Germans still have a long way to go and there are still many problems to solve!
Whether the "loser's game" is still necessary? Players, the media and FIFA naturally have different views: FIFA Secretary-General Valk believes that the game is "on honor and prestige", which is about honor for Fran, Claude and Mueller, who may become the final game of the World Cup or may compete for golden boots. However, the Times' statement that "I believe that German and Uruguayan players would rather go to the beach for a vacation than go to Port Elizabeth to play" can explain the player's mood. Ram did not intend to hide his contempt. "It's a consolation award, at least he can win a bronze medal". Of course, Uruguayans who have not known "meat" for a long time are not like this. Think about it, Uruguayan coach Tavarestan Cheng, "Maybe it's chicken ribs, but we have to fight until the last minute!"
What is the taste of "chicken ribs"? Germans know it best. In the 80 years since the World Cup, it has played 16 three or four finals (there were no three or four finals in 1930 and 1950). The Germans took the lead in four games alone, followed by France and Brazil, which played three games each. The 1934 World Cup of Ice Age set up three or four finals for the first time. The Germans were "glorious" to be shortlisted. In the end, they defeated Austria 3-1 under the attention of 7,000 Neapolitan spectators and won the third place for the first time. What is the number of final audience? 50000!
In the 1958 World Cup, the Federal Republic of Germany, which participated in the finals of three or four places for the second time, lost 3-6 to France led by the French Golden Boot Fontaine. The French striker staged a "big four joy"; in the 1970 World Cup, the Federal Republic of Germany participated in the "Loser's Game" again, and the two generals Meyer and Beckenbauer were absent, and Ofra He defeated Uruguay by one goal; in the 2006 World Cup, the host teamed up with Portugal to give a goal feast for 52,000 spectators at the Stuttgart Stadium. If it hadn't been for the four goals of "pigs" (2 goals), Gomez and Petit (Oolong), the number of goals in the World Cup in Germany is likely to be lower than "Italian Summer"!
Although it is regarded as a "chicken rib", the participating teams that have removed the burden of results have repeatedly contributed a lot of goals: since the 1978 World Cup, the eight third place competition have scored a total of 33 goals, averaging 4.125 goals per game! There are also famous games like Poland beating France 3-2 (1982), France beating Belgium 4-2 (1986), Sweden beating Bulgaria 3-4, and Germany beating Portugal 3-1! Of course, Germany defeated Uruguay and also maintained the magical record of the European team's third place in the last eight World Cups (Poland, France, Italy, Sweden, Croatia, Turkey, Germany), reflecting the overall strength of the European team.
The 2002 World Cup runner-up, the 2006 World Cup third place, the 2008 European Cup runner-up, and the 2010 World Cup third runner-up, the seemingly brilliant resume of German football always has the embarrasssment of breaking the window paper. Only winning consolation awards such as golden boots and the best newcomer is not enough to smooth out the gloomy of the Germans's absence from the Hercules Cup. Klose admitted that "winning the world championship is more important than who scored more than the number of goals". The German team also announced early that it would not go to the gate of Brandenburg to celebrate again after 2006 and 2008. Why? If we celebrate again, we just want to bring the Hercules Cup!"
If you consider the identity of the German team's "youth army", the third runner-up's performance is excellent. After all, even German fans have little hope for the youngest "German chariot" in 1976 before the World Cup. According to the poll before the Kicker World Cup, 34% of fans think they will stop in the top eight, 8 .6% of the fans think that they have stopped in the top 16, and 4% of the fans think that the "youth team" can't qualify in the group, and almost half of the fans think that the German team can't get into the top four. Now it is beyond expectations to win the third place with strong firepower.
Before going to South Africa, Ram once promised the fans: "This is the best German team I have ever played for, stronger than 2006 and 2008," but it still repeats the fate of "the orchid is still the same, and there is no bud". What is the reason? The German deputy coach Frick's argument hit the nail on the head, "Compared with Spain, we have a clear technical gap, not even at the same level." As Mateus said, German football emphasizes "wholeness and spirit", but it is always one move in the technical link: in 2002, the "Samba Legion" led by 3R has a sharp attack, Italy can play the defense to the extreme in 2006, and Spain in 2010 has used the ball control to an incompresible level. The Germans can have a mercury attack before the semi-finals. Facing Spain's defensive counterattack two years ago, it is nothing more than a lack of confidence.
German industry insiders are surprisingly agree on whether they can break the ice in four years. Former coach Klinsmann emphasizes the growth of young players: "After two or three years of training, German youth players may have the strength and opportunity to hit the next World Cup." Flack also bet on the "young army": "The year of gradual growth Light players will be a promising generation of German football. Do you have a familiar feeling? That's what Summer thought four years ago!" The youth army has the capital worth betting on, but how to consolidate the football skills and temper the excellent technical skills like Brazil, Italy and Spain is more worth betting on!
After reading the report, Li Yu also knows that German young people have grown up well. Thinking about the future problems of the Chinese Hong Kong team, he is a little worried. After all, naturalized players are only a momentary move. In the long run, their own supply and transportation is the king.
However, Huaxia Hong Kong itself has great limitations. If you want to continue to achieve good results, you will not invest in maintaining the naturalization mode, and there is no other way out.
Thinking too much, Li Yu is a little sad. Many things can no longer be changed. It would be great if he could play for Huaxia, but there are not so many ifs in reality. He can only play on behalf of the Huaxia Hong Kong team in the future.
Jenny suddenly found that Li Yu was in a daze at the newspaper and walked over with a smile. She also said that she didn't pay attention to football or the World Cup. She was dumbfounded at a glance, but the man looked so beautiful in a daze.
Li Yu was shocked by the sudden attack and immediately took Jenny into her arms in revenge.
At this time, the voice of the commentator came from the TV.
It turned out that this late night was the final battle of the World Cup.
Jenny looked at Li Yu with a red face. She found that the last match of the World Cup seemed to be closely related to the battle between the two. Thinking of this, Jenny was very shy.
Li Yu also felt Jenny's strangeness. She kept touching Jenny's delicate body, and her hands began to knead a pair of rich things. Li Yu also began to move.
The Netherlands won all the previous six games and advanced to the finals with excellent performance. Although Spain lost to Switzerland in the first round, it also won five consecutive victories. The two sides have had a total of 8 confrontations in history, and the Netherlands has a slight advantage of 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. The two teams have never won the World Cup before, so a new world champion will be born after this game.
The Netherlands is in a 451 formation today, and Van Persie is still in the foreshadowing. Robben and Kuyt are active on both wings, while Sneed is the core of the midfield. Spain followed the lineup in the semi-finals, with Villa rushing forward, and Iniesta and Pedro flying with both wings. Harvey in the middle is the core.
In the 90-minute battle, neither team could open the situation, and the decisive battle entered the overtime stage.
At this time, Li Yu really looked at the ball seriously. It was already hazy outside, and Jenny beside her also fell asleep. Relying on **, Li Yu watched the last overtime.
In the 101st minute, Navas's shot on the right side of the penalty area hit the side net.
In the 104th minute, Fabregas passed in the middle and shot slightly off the right post. In the 105th minute, the Netherlands replaced Van Bronchhorst with Bluffhead. Before the start of the second half of overtime, Spain replaced Villa with Torres. In the 109th minute, Iniesta was knocked down by Hetingara at the front of the penalty arc, who accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off, and then Harvey's free kick was higher than the crossbar. In the 111th minute, Van der Vere tripped Iniesta and got a yellow card. In the 115th minute, Sneed's free kick hit Fabregas and popped out the bottom line.
In the 116th minute of the game, Fabregas sent a wonderful short pass in the free throw arc. Iniesta fired vigorously after successfully counter-offside on the right side of the penalty area, hitting the ball into the lower left corner of the goal. With this goal, Spain defeated the Netherlands 1-0 and won the World Cup for the first time in history.
Seeing the goal, Li Yu was very calm. It was not too important for him who would win the championship in the end. What he wanted was just an answer.
For the Spanish team, the world championship means two meanings. One is the end of the era of shame. The two are the beginning of the era of the dynasty.
Before the World Cup, for decades, there has been a kind of ridicule against Spain's "cowardice", "pretentious" and "flower fist show legs". Of course, Spanish footballers want to fight back. However, even the Spanish team itself cannot explain why this country has the best league and many stars, but in the history of the World Cup, the best record is only the quarterfinals. In 1950, Spain entered the top four qualifying competition (the top four of the year decided the championship by the group single round robin system), and finally drew with Uruguay. 1-6 was humiliated by Brazil and lost 1-3 to Sweden, ranking fourth. But this humiliating journey is actually the best result of the Spanish team in the World Cup before this World Cup!
Over the past 60 years, Spanish footballers have endured ridicule and are always waiting to break through this achievement and win back a World Cup champion. However, in the past 60 years, Spain's record has been bleak: 1954, 1958, 1970, 1974, absent; 1962, 1966, 1978, 1998, the group was eliminated; 1990, 2006, the top 16; 1982, 1986, 1994, 2002 , the top eight... On this night, Spain finally ended a long history of humiliation and proved that it had achieved a transformation. Now, who would say that Spain is weak?
In addition, Spain has started a strong matador dynasty. In the 2008 European Cup, the Spanish team went all the way and won the championship trophy. Two years later, Spain won the World Cup again. In the 08-09 season, Barcelona was crowned the European championship trophy. The national team and league records have soared. Today's Spanish football can be said to be the best football in Europe and even the world!
Of course, we must see the huge potential in the Spanish team: in the national team, Iniesta, Torres, Ramos and others are in their best years, and the careers of Pedro, Butzque, Pike and others have just begun. In the coming years, these Spanish players will also be the championship of the European Cup and the World Cup. Strength. In the league, La Liga not only includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi [blog], Kaka, Harvey, Iniesta and many other top stars, but also brings together top football coaches, including Mourinho. The record and attention of La Liga are expected to be further improved.
In any case, the full prosperity of Spanish football has become unstoppable. This night, the Spanish team won the championship, which is one of the most obvious signs: the Spanish team has built a dynastic era in world football.
