Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 416 Impossible endorsement
Manchester United's young hero, Cristiano Ronaldo, played only 10 minutes in the English League Cup on behalf of Manchester United for the first time, but made great contributions to the team.

Relying on Ronando's desperate and magical pass, Manchester United once again took the lead, which dealt a huge blow to the home team Crystal Palace and made many Crystal Palace players lose their minds.

Ronando was carried out of the field and received treatment from the team doctor, but there was not much time left in the game. The Crystal Palace team had no way to recover, and regrettably lost.

"Manchester United's midfield will complete new changes in the next ten years! Rooney + Ronaldo = invincible!"

"England's main striker has found a new partner, and Portugal's Ronaldinho's road to the Premier League is extremely bright."

"Forward! Spears of Manchester United!"

Finally, the English media publicly called Ronaldo the "Spear of Manchester United"!For an 18-year-old young man from Portugal, Ronando's progress is not easy.

Ronando is the spear of Manchester United, which means that England has begun to recognize his status in Manchester United and even the Premier League. This is a surprise for Ronando, who has only been in the Premier League for more than three months. I have been firmly crushed by Rooney's reputation. I didn't expect that when he and Rooney formed an offensive combination, England fans suddenly became more tolerant of him.

Speaking of which, English people have been xenophobic for a long time. Due to geographical reasons, Britain, which is separated from the European continent by the English Channel, has always been separated from other European countries. different from other countries.

Generally speaking, the Anglo-Saxons are very lonely on the outside, and they even look down on other European races, and they even look down on the so-called colored people.

Fortunately, Ronando is a player, and among the outstanding football players, there are many of black descent, which makes it easier for Ronando to be accepted by fans.

What race is Ronando?Although he is of Portuguese nationality, various data show that his ancestry is pure oriental, that is, Chinese. In many places in Europe, the treatment of Chinese is even lower than that of the descendants of African immigrants. discrimination by activists.

Now, a young man of Chinese descent has gained such a reputation in Manchester United, which is known as the number one football club in England. This is great news.

For Ronando himself, this October has another meaning.

On October 10th, the day after the top 27 knockout matches of the English League Cup, the 32-man candidate list for the Golden Boy Award of "Turin Sports News" will be officially released. Those selected, from then on, their status in European football will undergo some changes, and people will regard them as future superstars and give them attention.

The European Golden Boy Award is already called a "coming-of-age ceremony", and the young people who have entered the big list are equivalent to completing this coming-of-age ceremony.

Relying on his performance in October, there is no doubt that Ronando was selected into the 40-man squad. Now, the only doubt is what position he will be in among the 40.

In other words, even the players who have entered the 40-man roster will receive different treatment. For example, major sports media will report on the roster, but it is impossible to introduce each of the 40 players in detail. Some of the most outstanding players and players who are likely to enter the top three will be selected for detailed reports, and some will follow up and report within the next month.

In addition, any media that is eligible to vote for the selection of the Golden Boy Awards, in order to expand their own influence, will generally conduct fan votes as one of the basis for their own newspapers and magazines to vote. It will continue until December when the winner of the Golden Boy Award is finally announced.

That is to say, if they are qualified to finally enter the top three, their news will often appear in mainstream media across Europe like rolling subtitles.

For young players under the age of 21, it is a very rare opportunity to often show their faces in mainstream European media. What scandals, strange things...

"Cristiano! Congratulations on making the 40-man squad! You're one of four young Manchester United players to make the squad!"

"Coach Longde, thank you for notifying me of this matter, I am also very happy!"

"Hehe, Cristiano...don't be discouraged! Although your name is behind Wayne, but! Next year, you will become one of the most popular candidates!"

"Coach, don't say that. Wayne's name is at the top. It's a matter of course. He has performed very well in the past two years. He is more qualified to compete for this honor than me!"

Facing the club's assistant coach Steven Lande, Ronando must be humble!
The current Manchester United club is dominated by Ferguson's family. Even the new owner, Old Glazer, and his sons, the younger Glazers, will not interfere with any of Ferguson's decisions, but the club is not monolithic. Steven Round has received the support of many English players, and he is faintly the "head" of the English players.

Therefore, Ronando could not offend Steven Land in any case, and instead tried to maintain a normal relationship with him.

Today is Thursday, just a few days after the match against Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire in the northeast, Ferguson announced that the rest of the team has been cancelled, and all players must come to the club to participate in training normally.

Ronando's current status is a "sick number". He injured his internal organs in the game the day before and was replaced midway. The opinion of the team doctor after examination is that he needs to rest for at least a week and is not allowed to participate in strenuous exercise. Otherwise, It is possible to aggravate the injury and have unpredictable consequences.

Such a small injury is nothing to a professional player, but now Ronando is already the baby bump of the team. Don't be careless. Ferguson gave him a day off.

However, Ronaldo came to the club according to the normal time to join his teammates.

A young rookie must look like a rookie. Ronando believes in a theory: the more proud you are, the more you must be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Ronaldo's status at Manchester United is hard-won. He must cherish all of this, including the love and care for him from the coaching staff, and the recognition from his teammates. In other words, it is difficult to win the respect of his teammates, and he needs to maintain a high morale for a long time , maintain a modest, prudent, hard-working and serious attitude, but it is easy to lose this respect. As long as Ronando shows a little pride and complacency, he will immediately be annoyed by the proud stars in the team .

In Manchester United, there will never be a shortage of brilliant stars!
Just imagine, which active Manchester United first-team player does not have a halo on his body?Even the Italian striker Giuseppe Rossi, who still has a "Manchester United Club Young Player of the Year" hat, but he can only fight hard on the substitute list and rarely get a chance to play.

So, don't look at the current Ronando who is very vigorous and has a skyrocketing reputation, but he really doesn't have the qualifications to be high-profile in this team.

Today, when Ronando came to the training ground, he immediately received congratulations from assistant coach Steven Round. There is a competitive relationship, and the contradiction is not small. The Englishman has always seldom asked "Queiroz's disciple and compatriot" Ronando, as if there was no such person as Ronando.

Now, Steven Lang has also begun to take the initiative to contact Ronando!

However, when he heard what Steven Round said, Ronando couldn't help but chuckled in his heart. At this point in time, many English people have high expectations for Rooney to win the European Golden Boy Award again. I don't know how these English people will feel after the unspoken rule about "Golden Boy Award cannot be re-elected" is issued.

In fact, Ronando is now taking advantage of Rooney. Because of his closer relationship with Rooney, he has won the favor of many English people. When Rooney is destined to miss the Golden Boy Award, those fans and media who support Rooney, They will overwhelmingly support Ronando. The reason is very simple. Ronando is also a Premier League player. If he wins this year's Golden Boy Award, it can also be said that the Premier League has won the European Golden Boy Award again!
It has to be said that due to Manchester United's good situation and Arsenal's stumbling performance in the league, this gave Ronaldo a chance to catch up from behind.

The first to bear the brunt is that Francisco Fabregas, who had always been considered "the second strongest boy in the Premier League", has been surpassed by Ronando!

In the mouths of many England fans, Rooney is currently the strongest player under the age of 21 in the league, and the second strongest boy is Ronando, and Fabregas, this is a strong signal, representing Ronaldo. Nando's status in the Premier League has been fully improved. He has already ranked among the top players in the Premier League, just like Arjen Robben, the famous Dutch player who joined Chelsea in 2004. He has just landed in the Premier League and has made a huge name.

※※※

Ronaldo was suspended for a week, which is not a big deal for Manchester United, but it is a big loss for Ronaldo, because he needs to miss at least one league game and the key to the away game against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. The Champions League group stage, especially the latter, will somewhat affect Ronaldo's ranking in the Golden Boy Awards.

However, good luck can never fall on one person's head. When Ronando received a clear answer from the team doctor again, he could only admit it.

In other words, one month after the announcement of the 40-man squad for the Golden Boy Award is the key to whether those young players who have entered the shortlist can reach the top of the final list.

During this period of time, the performance of all players will be amplified by the media and published in newspapers for fans to comment on. Players who happen to be able to perform well on the court will take advantage of it, not only earn enough popularity, but also quickly improve themselves The popularity, which is especially important for those players who are not well-known.

If any candidate player happened to be injured like Ronaldo, then he would really cry, because he lost a very important opportunity to promote himself.

However, for Ronando, the impact is not very big. The above rules are mainly applicable to candidates who are ranked below the middle reaches. For Ronando, who is ranked in the front, whether there are bright spots is the key!
For example, although Ronando was injured, his achievements in Benfica in the first half of the year and his excellent performance after entering Manchester United are enough for the media to write about him.

"Cristiano! Get ready, we will leave for Milan tomorrow!"

"Milan? ... Jorge! Is it over?"

"Yes! Haha! The Italians agree!... You will be the next sports star representing the Armani denim series!"

Hearing the words of the agent Jorge Mendes on the phone, Ronando couldn't help being excited. He has been urging the agent Mendes to contact the Italian Armani company, hoping to become one of the spokespersons of the Armani brand. For this daunting task, Mendez did his best, but with little success.

It is too difficult to become the brand ambassador of Armani.

Italy's Armani is a world-renowned luxury brand. Today, Armani is not only a clothing brand, but also includes watches, perfumes, cosmetics, accessories and other series. When it comes to women's clothing + men's clothing, it is still composed of different series of clothing such as underwear, shirts, jackets, jeans, sportswear, etc.

Each series of Armani products has a different star spokesperson!
Ronando knew that when Ronaldo became famous, he was the spokesperson of Armani underwear in the Armani series. He had cooperated with Irina, who spoke for Armani women's underwear, and the two knew each other.

Now, what Ronando thinks is to let himself enter the Armani brand, and then take the opportunity to help the Russian beauty Irina, and let Irina also become the brand spokesperson of Armani, so that Irina can be as famous as in her previous life and become a famous brand in Europe. Well-known models.

Of course, this time Ronando does not want to be the brand spokesperson for Armani underwear, which is not only impossible, but also not in line with Ronando's original intention.

First, the Armani underwear brand is its main product, and the requirements for spokespersons are extremely strict. If you can’t become one of the most famous stars in the world, don’t even think about becoming the spokesperson for the Armani underwear brand. Second, Ronaldo in his previous life The endorsement of Armani underwear is because Ronaldo not only played well during Manchester United, but also took "sexy" photos many times, making himself "one of the sexiest men in the world", which was favored by Armani.

As for Ronaldo's endorsement of Armani underwear, "except for a pair of underwear", Ronando doesn't care much!Anyway, he is a man, what's so scary!
However, according to the trajectory of history, even if Ronando finally succeeds in endorsing Armani underwear, and can help Irina join it, become the spokesperson of the corresponding Armani women's clothing, and cooperate with Ronando... Then, Ronando will also Will seriously say: NO!

The biggest reason why Ronando worked hard to become the spokesperson of the Armani brand was for Irina. He wanted Irina to be famous without becoming an underwear model.make money!
If Irina ends up being a lingerie model, what's the point of what Ronando is doing?

Therefore, Ronando has only one instruction to his agent Mendes: to become the spokesperson of a certain series of Armani clothing at all costs, regardless of the endorsement fee, even if it does not make money for nothing!But there is an additional condition that seems impossible to achieve: Armani must also give a certain female model designated by Ronando the opportunity to be the first choice of the endorsement of the corresponding female brand...

Even Jorge Mendes, who has many years of experience and is good at dealing with the personal brand of professional players, was frightened when he heard Ronando's request!
To put it simply, what Ronando means is: Armani wants to invite me to endorse the brand, I don’t care about other conditions, but I must give a female model I have a chance, and I want her to become the female spokesperson of the corresponding brand of Armani women’s clothing !
Such a request is simply too nonsensical. If Mendes contacts Ronando for the first time, he will definitely think that this young man has a brain problem and is a fool: it is very rare to be the brand spokesperson of Armani, and you still want to negotiate conditions?Do you think you are David Beckham?Do you think Armani will care about the little endorsement fee paid to you?

※※※

However, Jorge Mendes finally decided to give it a try as Ronando asked!
There are many wonderful things in the world. For example, Mendes, he is not an ordinary person. The shrewd Mendes saw opportunities and saw what others could not see from Ronando's request like a bible. Something, that is different, or not take the usual way...

To put it simply, no one has ever tried Ronando's request, and no one has even dared to think about it, but Ronando dared to think and do it, which is different.

Once this news gets out, Ronando may become a laughing stock, and many people will laugh at his overreaching. As an 18-year-old starlet, what qualifications do you have to dictate to the huge Armani company?

But, think about it the other way around, once Ronando's request is adopted by Armani, it is impossible for Ronando not to be popular!
Ronando will become No.1 in the endorsement market of Armani and even the world's clothing brands because he did something that others dare not think about or do. He will turn the impossible into a possibility, which is enough to detonate The eyeball news, just relying on this, Ronando can immediately take a big step on the road of "star".

As the saying goes, as long as there are enough interests, someone will work hard.

In order to let Ronando complete an impossible brand endorsement, and to make himself a more legendary football agent, Mendes began to lobby Armani with all his heart. The reason for lobbying is simple: once the endorsement It is the first time in history that it is not only the player Ronaldo and the agent Mendes, but also an object that is easier to be remembered by people, that is, Armani itself!
Unexpectedly, under the lobbying of Mendes, and because of Ronando's rapid growth in English football, there was a glimmer of hope for this seemingly impossible thing.

Now, the person in charge of the advertising planning of Armani's denim series brand hopes to have a face-to-face communication with Ronando to decide whether to hire Ronando to become the spokesperson of the Armani denim series. Irina and her agent in Russia.

If it were a normal player and his normal agent, maybe he wouldn’t believe in Armani’s decision at all, at least he would have a lot of doubts, because it’s so incredible, it makes people crazy, how can the dignified Armani company be satisfied? The unreasonable request of a little football star is simply impossible!
However, neither Ronando nor his manager, Jorge Mendes, were ordinary people. They just believed it and made serious preparations before setting off for Milan...

Milan is an important city in the northwest of Italy, and it is also the second largest city in Italy. It is the largest metropolis in Italy and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world. It is also the most economically developed region in Europe. It is one of the four fashion capitals in the world and is as famous as Paris, France.

The French fashion design guru Giorgio Armani founded his men's brand in this city, which eventually flourished and became the most famous luxury brand in the world.

This time, it is the second time that Ronaldo has come to this country. The last time was as a Benfica player in the first half of the year, and he met Parma in the Europa League. It is a completely different feeling from now.

At this moment, the Manchester United team is ready to go. Under the leadership of Ferguson, they will go to the city of Middlesbrough in the northeastern part of England. Since Ronando was diagnosed by the team doctor as unable to participate in strenuous exercise, it is impossible for him to participate in this away game. I can only watch from the sidelines.

When Ferguson heard that Ronando had received an invitation from Armani and needed to go to Milan to discuss the endorsement contract, the old Scottish man agreed and generously gave Ronando two days off!
If it is said that Manchester United's status in English football is very respected and admired by countless people, then Armani is a company with a similar status in the global ready-to-wear clothing industry. It is a giant!
If there is a certain Manchester United player who successfully becomes the spokesperson of the Armani brand, it will be a great joy for the entire club. At least it can prove the strength of Manchester United from the side... There is no doubt that only the most Only the best players of a powerful club can win the favor of Armani and become the spokesperson!
As for why the Italian Armani company took a fancy to Ronando, was it because of some of Ronando's outstanding qualities that impressed Armani, or was it because of some special means by Ronando's agent? All of this, Ferguson, who was busy studying the game He didn't know it at all, and he didn't want to bother with that. Anyway, it was Ronaldo's personal commercial contract. As long as it didn't conflict with Manchester United's other commercial contracts, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages for Manchester United.
