Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 76 Mendez's expectations, the goal of the Golden Boy Award [Please subscribe, big guys! 】

Mendes has been quite happy recently.

And several of his competitors saw Li Ang, who played better and better in Real Madrid, and they were so jealous that they almost went crazy!

It's not because of Li Ang's performance at this age.

In terms of performance and attractiveness to fans, Dortmund's Gotze is now No.1 in the new generation.

The main reason why these big brokers are madly jealous of Mendes is because of Li Ang's nationality.

A Huaguo player, not only performed well when he rented out Milan, but also helped Milan win the domestic double as the main force, and now he is really gaining a foothold in Real Madrid!

When these elements come together, seeing that Mendes is about to become the first broker to successfully enter the Huaguo market, how can the rest of the big brokers not go crazy?
But no matter how they spit on Mendes, saying that his career has always been a piece of shit luck, first met Mourinho and Ronaldo, and now he picked up another Lyon for nothing.

Nothing can change the fact that Mendes is now in contact with batches of Huaguo companies to discuss cooperation.

In fact, since the first half of the year, when Li Ang joined AC Milan on loan, the major domestic companies in Huaguo have been unable to sit still.

The foresight offered a lucrative normal contract in advance, and he wanted to eat the first piece of cake that Li Ang launched in China.

Even if the vision is not long-term, even if a long-term contract is offered, the amount is not cheap.

At that time, Mendes was numb when he saw the amount of the offer.

He listened to the advice of Ronaldo and Mourinho to sign Li Ang himself. On the one hand, he wanted to save face for his two old friends.

But he never expected that Li Ang would completely become the sweet spot in the eyes of major companies in Huaguo through his performance in Milan within half a year.

It can only be said that Mendes still did not dare to let go of his psychological expectations to see the commercial value hidden in Li Ang.

However, when he was confused by the amount of money that Huaguo's business tycoons were throwing at him later, Mendes was still very clear-headed and flew to Milan to talk to Li Ang about it.

And Li Ang would also calmly give his own answer.

"No rush, wait until I finish playing this season and return to Real Madrid to see the new offer."

At that time, Mendes still felt that Li Ang was a little too confident, and he should negotiate at least one or two normally lucrative endorsements while the popularity was high.

But now it seems that he can only say that Li Ang is so fucking right!

Because Li Ang didn't have any championship titles on his head at that time, he was just an excellent youth player of Real Madrid.

And now?

Want to talk to Li Ang, a member of the double crown of Serie A and Coppa Italia, about endorsement?

Sorry, we have increased the price!
Even though the bottom line amount of the negotiation has been greatly increased, the number of Huaguo enterprises who approached Mendes for commercial endorsement has not decreased at all.

On the contrary, more wealthy crocodiles personally ended up sending intention emails.

Now Mendes couldn't sit still.

He knew that Li Ang was not in a hurry, he was really not in a hurry, but he was in a hurry!

Fortunately, this time, Li Ang gave him an affirmative answer.

On Huaguo's side, Li Ang wanted to build a good reputation, and he would not accept endorsements with product quality risks or word-of-mouth risks.

He doesn't want to do too much for the rest of the commercial endorsements, and it's almost enough to get three before the end of this year.

How to choose a brand and do the final negotiation, Li Ang will not intervene, and let Mendes' team solve it.

But before the formal negotiation, he also needs to talk with the representative of the partner to see the marketing methods of the other party at home and abroad.

The second is the contract with Real Madrid.

Since the last contract renewal with Real Madrid, there are still four years left in the new contract between Li Ang and Real Madrid.

Renewing the contract this time, Li Ang's salary requirements are actually not high, more than 300 million euros after tax.

Even just 300 million euros is fine, but he doesn't want to talk about his personal portrait rights.

You can continue to sign for another four years, and it doesn't matter if your salary is lower, but the right to portrait is his bottom line, and he can't give out any points.

Just kidding, when Li Ang's reputation in the country was about to stink, Li Ang was also very confident in not giving up the portrait rights.

At that time, Real Madrid didn't care much about Li Ang's insistence.

After all, there was no place for Li Ang in the first team at that time, and Real Madrid was very likely to sell Li Ang directly to Real Betis in the end.

If Mourinho hadn't seen Li Ang's performance at Betis, he would have been transferred to the first team first, and finally decided to keep Li Ang.

Li Ang might have played in Betis this time.

So Li Ang, who is now more confident, is even more reluctant to hand over his portrait rights to the club.

However, unlike Li Ang's imagination, Mendes did not support his idea 100%.

Instead, he put forward different opinions immediately after he finished his request.

With Mendes' patient explanation, Li Ang finally understood that having 100% portrait rights in his own hands does not necessarily bring him more income.

At least for now, sharing personal portrait rights with Real Madrid, with Real Madrid's commercial promotion and publicity resources, Li Ang can obtain more commercial benefits than he imagined.

Take the simplest analogy.

If Li Ang can now rely on Mendes' publicity ability to sign endorsements and earn 100 million.

100% of the portrait rights are in the hands of Li Ang, so Li Ang's harvest is most of the remaining money after deducting the share for the Mendes team from the 100 million

But if Real Madrid and Mendes jointly develop his commercial value.

Then Li Ang may get 200 million, half of 300 million or even 60%.

This account is easy to settle.

In the past two or three years, it will be beneficial to Li Ang to cooperate with Real Madrid to develop commercial value.

Therefore, Li Ang adopted Mendez's suggestion, but they also decided to try their best to gain the initiative in the negotiation.

So at the end of the first round of the Champions League, after Mendes talked about Li Ang's contract renewal with Real Madrid, the two parties directly fell into a deadlock in negotiations.

The renewal contract given by Real Madrid is actually far more generous than the Mendes phenomenon, but the first requirement is half of Li Ang's portrait rights.

After Mendes negotiated with Li Ang, the first requirement he gave was that Li Ang needs to keep 80% of his personal portrait rights.

The two sides are directly stuck on the first article, so how can we talk about it?
After two days of stalemate, and after the other terms were basically negotiated, the two sides returned to their first request.

Real Madrid took the lead in making concessions, demanding at least 45% of Li Ang's portrait rights.

But Mendes' team didn't budge at all, and even asked Li Ang to confirm it again.

Finally, Li Ang's original words were given.

"Only 20% of portrait rights can be given, this is our bottom line."

Not surprisingly, before the start of the fourth round of La Liga, the talks between the two sides broke down again.

Li Ang was not surprised by this result.

After all, since Lafayette came to power, Real Madrid will have portrait rights requirements for newly introduced players.

Now that he has achieved huge commercial value in one fell swoop, and Real Madrid has always attached importance to the Huaguo market, it would be a ghost to give him 80% of the portrait rights.

Originally, the management of Real Madrid wanted to let Li Ang let him "consider" clearly. Only by staying in Real Madrid can he maximize his commercial value.

But this time, Li Ang didn't believe it at all.
On the night of September 9th, Florentino seemed to be in a normal mood and sat in the private room of the Valencia City Stadium.

Real Madrid will play Levante in the fourth round of La Liga today at the Valencia City Stadium.

When players from both sides began to enter the field, Florentino subconsciously became irritable when he saw Li Ang who appeared after Alonso.

He really couldn't understand why Li Ang refused to share the proceeds of portrait rights with the club equally.

Yes, Real Madrid did not pay enough attention to Li Ang before Mourinho took office.

At that time, it seemed that he could only defend, and caused a lot of trouble in China, and made a wrong judgment on his commercial potential.

But who will never make mistakes?
The key is to correct the mistakes in time after they are detected.

Florentino thinks that the club has done a good job in the follow-up series of remedial measures.

It was an annual salary increase and an active contact with Milan to give him a training opportunity to rent out. Now that he is back, he directly gave him the No. [-] jersey.

Isn't that sincere enough?
Thinking of this, Lafayette also felt a little headache.

"Let's see if we can find Jorge later to persuade Li Ang."

※※※

This round of La Liga officially started at 9:18 on September 19.

Because he only went away to play a round of the Champions League a few days ago, Mourinho also used part of the rotation in this round.

Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, Marcelo and others all sat on the bench.

Today Real Madrid formed a four-three-three partial offensive starting formation.

The front trident consists of Di Maria, Higuain and Callejon.

In the midfield, Leon and Las Diarra served as the left and right central midfielders, and Alonso was in the middle and delayed to dispatch the audience.

Coentrao, Ramos, Pepe and Arbeloa formed the starting line of defense on the back line.

The starting goalkeeper is still Iker Casillas.

Speaking of which, Li Ang played in the left midfield position again after leaving Milan.

The positions of him and Las Diarra are also very similar to the "running men's duo" formed with Gattuso when they were in Milan.

And Brother Long's way of delaying the organization today is not exactly the same as that of Master Pi, cough, it seems that there is no difference
Li Ang didn't have the guts to ask Uncle Bird if he had asked Uncle Jiong and Milan for the right to use tactics.

But he knew that if any Milan fans accidentally saw this round of Real Madrid league in the future, the Internet would definitely become lively again.

Mourinho felt no embarrassment at all.

After all, tactics are such a thing, although most of the famous coaches have their favorite set, but it doesn't mean that they can't learn from others, right?
Hey, about tactics between coaches, it can't be called copying, it's all called learning.

Mourinho also tried it on a whim in the training session a few days ago, and he became interested as soon as he tried it.

Before Khedira returned from injury, Mourinho felt that it was necessary for him to try a few more starting formations.

Kaka must be sparing, use Rasdiala to practice, just right, just right~
Las Diarra, who is so emotional, still doesn't know the identity of his experimental mouse.

From the beginning of the game, he worked extra hard to sweep the midfield.

Li Ang felt relieved after seeing it.

On the right side of the midfield, there is the physically fit Ras Diarra who is responsible for sweeping and intercepting, so he can do his job well in the left midfielder.

Well, maybe there will be a chance to step forward a few more times later to enjoy the fun.

After all, Brother Long is much easier to serve than Master Pi, and he doesn't need to rush around to fight fires and wipe his ass.

Maybe later, Brother Long will have to wipe his ass, hehe
Facing Levante, Real Madrid still has a very strong advantage in the midfield.

In terms of the competition for the possession of the ball in the midfield, today Real Madrid's starting lineup is fully capable of stealing.

With Di Maria and Callejon retreating from time to time to catch the ball and push forward, Real Madrid took the initiative in the midfield and started to attack quickly.

Higuain played very comfortably today.

Last season, he was basically the starter at the center position of Real Madrid before he was injured.

But most of the time he is not the number one end point in the team, he has to give way to the more powerful Ronaldo, and he has to be the fulcrum often.

Whether he wants to or not, in Mourinho's tactical system last season, he has to do this kind of work.

Mourinho finally gave him another chance to fire with all his might today.

He dominates the center alone and can shoot directly when he has the opportunity. There are good passers on both sides, and there are teammates with strong steals behind him to help Real Madrid regain offensive opportunities.

In this regard, Higuain can only say that this feeling is really great!

And he also showed a fiery state when he hit the goal with the first kick in the 8th minute of the first half.

Facing the cross sent by Di Maria after breaking through the defender, Higuain directly chose to volley without stopping the ball!

Thanks also to Levante's goalkeeper Munuya who is very focused.

In the end, a dangerous and dangerous flying save saved Higuain's shot to the far corner!
In the next 10 minutes, Higuain had two more chances to hit the goal, both of which were within the range of the goal frame.

It can be seen that the feet feel hot.

It's a pity that today Levante's old central defender Ballesteros and goalkeeper Munuya are also in good condition.

In the first 10 minutes, the two relied on their personal performance to reject Real Madrid's fierce offensives again and again, which made Mourinho helpless.

Judging from the defensive strength Levante showed today, this team is by no means simple.

If any La Liga teams still treat the middle and lower reaches of Levante in the future, they will definitely suffer a lot.

And Li Ang also felt that the time had come.

Anyway, Uncle Psy let him do what he can on the offensive end today, and if necessary, he would step in to support his teammates.

Li Ang felt that the necessary time had come now!
In the 204th minute of the first half, Li Ang received Di Maria's return pass after the sudden defeat, but did not pass the ball back to Long Ge.

Instead, he took the initiative to dribble forward and plug in.

It advanced seven or eight meters. Seeing that Levante's old midfielder Baquero stepped forward to make defensive interference, Li Ang was not careless.

After calling Callejon to retreat and do a simple two-over-one cooperation with himself, Li Ang successfully broke into the 30-meter area of ​​Levante!

Now Levante's midfielder Harvey Torres quickly pressed towards Li Ang, not wanting to let Li Ang continue to advance with the ball.

And Levante's defensive deployment in front of the penalty area is also slightly confused.

Harvey Torres and Ivora both defended Li Ang. Higuain knew that Li Ang had a good short pass ability, so he raised his hand and advanced.

With his movement, the two central defenders of Levante also had to retreat.

At this moment, Li Ang gave his own pass a second before he was about to be caught.

It's not going straight forward, nor is it for Di Maria who has already started to cover the bottom on the left, but for Callejon!

Callejon's running position is very thief, when almost all Levante defensive players are watching Li Ang, Higuain and Di Maria move.

He started cutting in from the position where he retreated to play the ball for Li Ang before, and rushed to Levante's front ribs in the penalty area!

In this position, because Levante's two defensive midfielders went to double-team Li Ang, and the central defender also retreated, a short-term defensive vacuum area was formed.

At first, Callejon was not sure whether Li Ang had such a broad vision.

He just subconsciously ran towards the area he thought was threatening.

And he didn't expect that Li Ang would give him the ball without hesitation at the most suitable time!

"nice shot!"

The Real Madrid bosses on the bench and Mourinho stood up excitedly at this moment!
Li Ang's lateral kick was too steady and too coquettish.

Because he had been watching the running positions of Di Maria and Higuain before.

Not to mention Levante's defensive players, even Real Madrid's players have been fooled by Li Ang for the most part!

Fortunately, Callejon was not dazed, and even stopped and went straight to the edge of Levante's big penalty area.

With no one defending on the side or in front of him, Callejon took a deep breath, then adjusted his pace on the penalty area line and directly chose to bombard the goal!
This is a powerful volley!

In line with Callejon's technical characteristics, not too outstanding, but stable enough, and not soft!

Levante goalkeeper Munuya, who had rejected Higuain's shots many times before, was powerless this time.

Callejon exerted great force, and the football broke through the air like a fired shell, and went straight into the lower left corner of the goal without hindrance!
Real Madrid also successfully broke Levante's solid defense and court balance in the first half!
Even Lafayette, who is least interested in his own youth training, couldn't help standing up in the private room with a smile and applauding.

Mourinho and Real Madrid's substitute players in front of the bench raised their arms and cheered!

Real Madrid fans couldn't be more excited at this moment.

Two Real Madrid youth players who came out of Castilla successfully connected at this moment, helping Real Madrid take the lead in a difficult game!
Callejon and Li Ang, the Castilian brothers who were not very familiar before, laughed and hugged each other on the court.

Li Ang could feel the excitement in Callejon's laughter, and he couldn't help but patted the other person's shoulder hard to show comfort.

After all, after leaving Real Madrid, the Spaniard achieved results and got the chance to return. Callejon's journey is really not easy.

And the rest of the Real Madrid players who swarmed up also patted Callejon's head with a smile and congratulated him.

At the moment, Mendes, who came to watch the game, was also smiling happily in the stadium.

Seeing that Li Ang was not affected by the half-point unsuccessful contract renewal and still performed very well, he was completely relieved.

No, not just rest assured, Mendes has already had more expectations for Li Ang in his heart!

Half a year ago, when others said that his newly signed Li Ang didn't have much future and would only defend without getting too many personal honors, he might not be able to refute it.

But now, if someone still said that to him, he would definitely give him a big mouth!
This sense of going forward, this chic way of hitting the ball, you say this is a player who can only defend?

Regardless of whether Li Ang has more room for growth on the offensive end in the future, even if he only has this passing talent now, it is enough.

The Golden Globe Award is an honor that Li Ang will not be able to covet for the time being, and possibly in the next few or even dozens of seasons.

But for the Golden Boy Award, Mendes felt that Li Ang had a lot to offer!

Gotze is very strong, but Li Ang's honor is not bad at all.

As for who will win in the end?
Oh, each according to his ability, let's wait and see
