Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 403 139 million euro endorsement contract

The club's in-team awards ceremony ended and the crazy celebrations began. Li Qing was the biggest contributor to Liverpool's victory in various championships, and therefore became the focus of the coaching team, teammates, bosses and senior management of the club's official partners.

Fortunately, Li Qing had the system in hand, so he didn't panic or give up. Having spent 100 gold coins early on to buy the [Thousand Drinks Not Drunk] pill, he knocked down several teammates and won the title of the strongest 'Bacchus' in the Liverpool team.

The dinner ended at nearly ten o'clock in the evening. The club's logistics department was well prepared and assigned a driver to each player to prevent drunk driving accidents.

Next month is the World Cup, and all teams participating in the World Cup have entered a critical preparation period. If a player is detained by the traffic police for drunk driving, it will be a very big blow to the reputation of the player, club and national team.

The whole world's media focus is on the Liverpool team.

Li Qing is an England international and was shortlisted for the England training camp. Considering that he and many Liverpool players had participated in the Champions League final, the Football Association gave him an extra two days of leave. This means that Liverpool's England international will arrive in St. Louis on May 30. Report to the George Park training base to prepare for the final warm-up matches before the World Cup to be held at the New Wembley Stadium and the Imperial Workers Stadium on the 4th and 9th of next month respectively.

No. 4 faces the Senegal national team led by Mane, while No. 9 challenges the Chinese men’s football team.

Choosing the Tianchao men's football team is not only to give the players confidence, but also to a large extent to bring good luck to England participating in the World Cup.

Before the 2006 World Cup, the French men's football team defeated the Chinese men's football team 1:0 and finally advanced to the World Cup finals. Although Cisse was sacrificed, the result was perfect.

The French team that participated in the World Cup in 2010 lost 0:1 to the Chinese men's football team and ultimately missed the group stage.

In 2014, because the Chinese Football Association refused to play against strong teams, strong teams such as France and Italy were unable to get good luck from the Chinese Men's Football Team. Four years later, Italian head coach Lippi took charge of the Chinese Men's Football Team and the whole team was confident. Sufficient, coupled with the sponsor Nike's push behind the scenes, it also contributed to this warm-up match.

It is worth mentioning that Chinese fans have already sold out all the tickets for the World Cup qualifying match at the Workers' Stadium. What is interesting is that these fans are not supporting the Chinese men's football team, but are supporting the Chinese football team known as the European Chinese team. Come on England.

Closer to home, the pre-World Cup warm-up match was still some time away. Accompanied by his agent Mendes, the busy Li Qing came to Nike's headquarters in Soho Building in London, the capital of Great Britain.

Under normal circumstances, the signing of a star player's contract must be done in a ceremonial manner at the Mi Jian headquarters. However, since the World Cup is about to start next month, the important task of undertaking Li Qing's signing with Nike falls on the British headquarters.

Although the sense of ceremony is not as good as that of Nike headquarters, the signing lineup is not bad.

Nike Vice President Adrianna Lofton, Nike European President Erlot Hill, Great Britain President Mike Capra, and Greater China General Manager Dong Yingying were waiting early downstairs in the headquarters building.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Mendes' high status in Europe.

Accompanied by several presidents, vice presidents, and general managers of Nike, Li Qing and Mendes arrived at Nike's headquarters in Great Britain. The reporter who had already received an invitation from Nike immediately realized something.

Supernova Li Qing will sign with Nike!

There has indeed been a lot of news recently that Li Qing will sign with Nike, but after all, they are just rumors, and the official has not directly acknowledged it. Now that Nike executives are welcoming Li Qing at the Nike headquarters in Great Britain, doesn't it mean that Li Qing is going to sign with Nike?

Li Qing is very different from many players that Nike has invested in world football. He became famous at a young age and just led Liverpool to win the 2017-2018 season league championship, League Cup championship, FA Cup championship and Champions League championship. A year ago He also helped Liverpool win the league title and FA Cup.

With his super personal ability and supreme honor, Li Qing’s signing fee is destined to be higher than most of the current world football stars, and he will not even be too far away from the two world-class superstars, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

As a result, some media speculated that the signing between Nike and Li Qing would be comparable to the seven-year, $93 million contract that Nike signed LeBron James who graduated from high school?

Neither Nike nor Li Qing will disclose the specific endorsement fee to the outside world, so they can only rely on speculation in the media reporter area.

The contract between Li Qing and Nike was originally confirmed before the Champions League final, but because Li Qing performed so well in the Champions League final, the famous agent and giant Mendes naturally took advantage of the fact that the contract was not signed to increase the price of the endorsement.

Adidas, the designated sponsor of the World Cup's official sports brand, is also very interested. Nike has no choice but to agree to Mendes' proposal of 18 million euros per year in endorsement fees, with an annual increase of 10%, which means the total contract is about 139 million euros!

This is an increase of over 20 million euros compared to the last contract.

According to Mendes, Nike President Parker originally insisted on 16 million euros per year, but the World Cup will start next month. Nike, which is a sworn enemy of Adidas, the official sports brand supplier of the World Cup, definitely does not want to see Li Qing switch to the Adidas camp. , coupled with the fact that the England national team is sponsored by Nike, they had no choice but to agree to the annual endorsement fee of 18 million euros proposed by Mendes.

In the not spacious signing room, Li Qing spent 100 gold coins and signed his name after confirming through the system that there was no problem with the contract.

In other words, from now on, he is already a star signed by Nike Football Sports, and his personal endorsement fee is second only to Ronaldo's lifetime contract as a top star.

However, Li Qing is only 17 years old now and has a long career in the future. It is only a matter of time before he surpasses Ronaldo.

As long as his performance can continue, agent Mendes has guaranteed that he will catch up with the treatment given to Cristiano Ronaldo by Nike in less than two years, and even become the football player with the best contract resources under Nike.

After completing the signing, Li Qing, accompanied by Nike executives, took a Rolls-Royce Phantom to the shooting base to take several sets of two-dimensional pictures as the next promotional posters.

For example: several photos of the Nike series of sneakers designed by Li Qing in advance, the most popular Nike sweatshirts of the season, suits, footballs, backpacks, etc. were taken as candidate materials.

The shooting, which was originally planned to take an afternoon, took Li Qing just over two hours, so much so that the Nike photographer gave him a thumbs up: "He is really a born star."

…

News that Li Qing signed a contract with Nike has mushroomed, becoming the focus of sports fans around the world and overwhelming the world.

The next day, Li Qing's last holiday, accompanied by his agent Mendes, he signed contracts with Armani, Vacheron Constantin and Warwick Mobile.
