Chapter 402 Golden Globe Public Relations, Target Top Three!
"Wow, the overall rating is actually over 90?!"

Looking at the various ability values ​​alone, Ling Feng is quite satisfied.

Especially the overall review, which gave him an unexpected surprise.

You know, in the game FIFA, players with an overall score of over 90 are at the top of the pyramid of world football!

As a "young player" who has debuted for just over two years, Ling Feng's overall game rating has soared to 90, ranking on par with superstars such as Ibrahimovic, Boateng, Lewandowski, and De Gea.

Second only to "gatekeeper" Neuer, MSN combination and several players including Cristiano Ronaldo.

It is worth mentioning that he is also the only midfielder in the entire game with an overall rating of over 90!

Such high ability values ​​and overall ratings have made many super stars who have debuted for many years envious and jealous.

After thinking about it, Ling Feng felt that being the cover character also gave him certain advantages.

After all, as the cover character of a new generation of games, it would be a bit unreasonable if the overall score was less than 90.

Besides, as one of the best performing players in the top five leagues last season, he definitely has the potential to get an overall rating of 90!
However, at the beginning, Ling Feng was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that his passing ability value was only 90.

After all, he was the player with the most assists in the top five leagues last season!

However, after asking the game producer, he learned that the player with the highest passing ability in the entire game was Pirlo.

And his passing ability value is 91!

In other words, he is the second best player in the entire game in terms of passing ability, higher than Kroos, Fabregas, Iniesta, Messi and others, and second only to Pirlo.

After learning the truth, Ling Feng also gave a thumbs up to the game producer:
Understand football!

After revealing his own star card, the global release day event came to a successful conclusion.

After the event, on the way back to the hotel, Ling Feng took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet to compare his ability with other top players.

I have to say, EA really gives face.

In addition to his passing ability being ranked second in the entire game, he is also in the top ten in the game in terms of speed.

In the game, the players with the highest speed ability are Aubameyang of Bundesliga Dortmund and Bori of German 2nd Division Fürth.

Both of them have a speed ability value of 96.

Ling Feng tied for third place with Arsenal defender Bellerin and Inter Milan player Biabiany.

It is even faster than famous football superstars such as Bale, Kingsley Coman and Sterling!

Of course, things like game ability values ​​are just for reference.

Especially speed, which is the most important ability value in the game, will be adjusted according to the player's other attributes, and it is impossible to truly reflect the player's strength!

The most obvious example is Tottenham defender Kyle Walker.

As the second fastest man in the Premier League after Ling Feng, his speed ability value is only 90, and he can't even make it into the top !

From this we can see that game ratings are really unreliable.

However, when he thought about being able to tease Walker about this matter after returning to the national team, Ling Feng's mouth corners unconsciously rose slightly.

You know, Walker is obsessed with his speed ability in FIFA.

This time when FIFA17 is released, there will definitely be a wave of unboxing promotions from major clubs.

Ling Feng could already imagine the scene when Walker saw that his speed ability value was only 90 after returning to St. George's Park, and then complained to his teammates about EA planner Sima.
. . .

As one of the two best-selling and most well-known football games in the world, the sales of FIFA games in recent generations have crushed Pro Evolution Soccer.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best-selling football game in the world, no doubt about it!

This year, with the novel operation of replacing Messi with voting to select the cover character, FIFA's attention is higher than ever before.

Especially this new cover character is the most popular Red Devils No. 7!
With the help of the huge influence of Manchester United's platform, FIFA17 broke the record set by FIFA 13 in just a few days after its release, becoming the game with the highest first-release sales in the series' history.

In the UK, Ling Feng’s home base, sales were even more astonishing, reaching a staggering 1.5 million copies!
"Ling Feng replaces Messi and becomes the spokesperson for FIFA!"

“A new era superstar!”

"The era of Red Devil No. 7 has arrived!"

Major media including The Times, Daily Mail, The Guardian and Manchester Evening News all rushed to report on it!

For the British media and football world, Ling Feng replaced Messi and became the cover character of FIFA17, which is something worth bragging about.

This means that Ling Feng has become a player at the same level as Messi!
Even this cover character was not actively invited by EA, but was selected through voting.

However, this in itself is enough to show that Ling Feng's popularity has reached the level of a famous superstar all over the world!
For Ling Feng, becoming the cover character of the FIFA game is not only a small achievement in his career.

And there are many benefits.

The better the FIFA17 game sells, the more helpful it will be for Ling Feng to expand his popularity.

After all, every player who buys the game, even if they didn't know him before, will get to know him because he is the cover character of the game.

However, even though he was well aware of the nature of the media, Ling Feng was still somewhat puzzled by the media's hype about him.

He just became the cover character of a football game, how can it be said that he is on par with Messi?

It wasn't until Mendes took the initiative to reveal it to him that he suddenly realized:
"Don't you know? The list of candidates for the Golden Globe Awards will be announced next month!"

After Mendes' explanation, Ling Feng finally understood that this tycoon in the football agency industry was doing Golden Ball public relations for him!
The Golden Ball Award, the highest individual honor in football!
In the past eight years, it has been monopolized by the two most outstanding talents.

And this year is no exception!

In the view of most industry insiders, including Ling Feng and Mendes, this year's Golden Globe Award is almost a sure thing.

With the two heavyweight championship honors of the Champions League and the European Cup, Ronaldo will definitely be able to surpass Messi, who only has the La Liga and Copa del Rey titles.

However, as Ronaldo's agent, Mendes is not satisfied with this!
The reason why he also helped Ling Feng with the Golden Globe PR was because he had a bigger ambition:

That is the hope to put Ling Feng in the top three of the Golden Globe Awards!
As a result, two of the top three players in the Ballon d'Or are his clients.

He will be able to become the recognized No. 1 in the football agent industry!

And this great blueprint is feasible.

First of all, the top two places in the Ballon d'Or are definitely Melo.

What Mendes wants to fight for Ling Feng is the third place!
After analysis by a professional team, Ling Feng has three competitors:

Atletico Madrid and France's core Griezmann, European Golden Boot Suarez and Brazil's top star Neymar!

Whether in terms of debut qualifications or popularity, Ling Feng is weaker than the other three.

Of course, in addition to considering the individual performance, collective honors, qualifications and prestige of the previous season, the Ballon d'Or is also largely linked to the popularity of the players.

Especially this year's Golden Globe Awards, there have been changes in the selection rules.

The FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or awards had been merged for six years before the two sides announced the cancellation of their cooperation. Therefore, this year's Ballon d'Or is once again independent.

After the heavy return, France Football magazine also made some adjustments to the selection mechanism of the Ballon d'Or:
First of all, the list of candidates for this year's Ballon d'Or has been increased from 23 to 30, and the announcement of the top three players has been cancelled;

Secondly, head coaches and captains of national teams will no longer have voting rights.

Those who hold the voting rights have become professional football journalists from all over the world.

This leaves room for PR hype!
Of course, Mendes has tremendous abilities and connections in the football world.

But he cannot simply hold the hands of reporters from major media outlets and vote for whomever he wants.

Of course, he can use various means to recommend and promote Ling Feng to these people.

Let them know how outstanding Ling Feng is and how worthy of their vote he is!
. . .

10 month 1 number.

night.

Cheshire.

The huge mansion was brightly lit.

Ling Feng and his girlfriend, wearing couple hooded sweatshirts, sat on the sofa.

His public relations consultant and Mendes sat opposite him.

“This is the comparison table we came up with after a comprehensive analysis.”

Taking a document of more than ten pages from the public relations consultant, Ling Feng glanced at the title "Public Relations Analysis Sheet" on the cover and began to read it carefully.

Football is a team sport, and even for the purpose of selecting the best players, collective honor is often the first criterion for the Ballon d'Or selection.

Since this year is the year of international competitions, Europe has the European Cup and America has the America's Cup held three times every three years.

Therefore, what the competitors need to compare is the collective honors they have won and their individual performance!
First is Ling Feng.

As the absolute core of the Three Lions, he almost single-handedly led this England team, which was in a period of transition, to the semi-finals of the European Cup, tying the team's best record in history.

At the club level, he also played an absolute core role in helping Leicester City miraculously win the Premier League and Europa League titles for the first time!
Together with the domestic league cup, we have achieved the feat of a small treble!

European Cup semi-finals, Premier League champions, Europa League champions, League Cup champions, this is Ling Feng's last season.

In terms of personal performance, Ling Feng made 44 appearances for the club, scored 28 goals and provided 33 assists.

In the national team, he made 8 appearances, contributing 8 goals and 10 assists!
He made 52 appearances throughout the season, scored 36 goals, provided 43 assists, and created 79 goals alone!
Whether it is threatening passes, chances created, or direct goals scored from free kicks, Ling Feng is first in the Premier League!

The second is Griezmann, who also shined in the European Cup.

His French team made it to the European Cup final after overcoming all obstacles.

But they lost to Portugal where Ronaldo is.

This was the second time Griezmann lost to Ronaldo in a major competition after the Champions League final.

In the end, he didn't win a single championship.

European Cup runner-up, Champions League runner-up, La Liga third place,
In terms of personal performance, he made 54 appearances, contributing 32 goals and 7 assists.

The data looks good, but compared with several other competitors, it can only be said to be quite average.

But since he is French.

The Golden Globe Award is also awarded by a French magazine, so it is very likely to have a household registration bonus.

After reading the analysis table of himself and Griezmann, Ling Feng continued to look down:
Suarez undoubtedly reached the peak of his career last season.

Although due to injury, he was unable to represent Uruguay in the America's Cup.

However, he still helped Barcelona win the La Liga, Copa del Rey, Club World Cup and European Super Cup as the main scorer.

And his personal performance is definitely worthy of being called the best center today!

He made 53 appearances for Barcelona, ​​scored an astonishing 59 goals and provided 22 assists!
He is also the player who directly participated in the most goals in the top five leagues in the entire 15-16 season!

Not only did he break the monopoly of Ronaldo and Messi on the La Liga Golden Boot, he also won the European Golden Boot!

The last competitor, Neymar, seems a little dull next to Messi and Suarez.

Even so, his individual performance is still one of the best players in the entire La Liga.

He made 49 appearances for Barcelona, ​​scored 31 goals and provided 25 assists!
In the America's Cup, Brazil's performance was very poor and they didn't even qualify from the group stage.

After being eliminated from the group stage of the America's Cup, Neymar, as an over-age player, led the Brazilian team to win the first Olympic championship in team history!

Of course, the value of this championship is just like the European Youth Championship that Ling Feng won last year, and it has almost no reference value.

After reading the PR team's analysis, Ling Feng immediately looked at Mendes:

"It looks pretty good. Is there anything I need to do to cooperate with your PR and publicity?"

Mendes, who was confident, just smiled calmly:
"You don't have to cooperate with anything, just do your job and continue to perform well on the court!"

"Leave the rest to me!"

Generally speaking, if a club wants to help its players win the Ballon d'Or, it must work hard on public relations.

However, Manchester United, where Ling Feng plays, is definitely the best in the football world in terms of commercial marketing.

But when it comes to public relations skills, he is notoriously poor!
It has even become one of the main reasons why Manchester United has been frequently ridiculed in recent years.

The public relations problem has existed since the Glazer family took over Manchester United.

To give a very simple example, as the most successful club in England, why is Manchester United always associated with conflicts and leaks within the locker room?
In addition to the fact that Ferguson's successors were unable to control the locker room after his retirement, it also had a lot to do with the inaction of the club's public relations department.

Often when this happens, as long as the matter is clarified immediately or the media is contacted for appropriate handling, there won't be any waves at all.

But Manchester United's PR staff are like salary thieves who just sit around and wait for death.
Therefore, in order to achieve his goal, Mendes felt that he had to do it himself.

Of course, he is not the only one who hopes that Ling Feng will make it into the top three of the Ballon d'Or.

After Mendes revealed his ambitions, Nike immediately expressed its willingness to fully cooperate!

Nike’s current top player is still Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, the Real Madrid superstar is already over 30 years old.

Ten years ago, professional players of this age had already begun to decline and were preparing to go to West Asia or the Major Leagues to seek gold.

Even though modern sports science has made rapid progress and the career of professional players has been significantly extended;
Even Ronaldo's competitive state and physical function have not declined at all.

However, as a forward-looking sports brand giant, Nike must of course prepare for the future.

And Ling Feng is the future they have chosen!
