Section 291: The bright moon and the tide at sea (1)
No matter how glamorous UEFA is, it is still essentially a game-maker! When it comes to picking on the inside and outside, and flirting with others, it is definitely the most professional in the world! After all, the biggest game is football, and the biggest game is football.
Europe! Seeing that the money reserved by various bosses is about to disappear, seeing that the Golden Boot battle cannot be synchronized with the climax of various competitions at the end of the season, how can UEFA remain indifferent?
You two super giants want to fight? No!
You two clubs want to bypass your strongest opponents and advance to the finals? No!
UEFA put Wang Ai, Messi, Bayern and Barcelona in an octagonal cage through the Frenchman's raised hands. For Wang Ai and Messi, this battle is not only a golden boot battle.
The node will also have a major impact on the Golden Globe Awards at the end of the year.
If the current combination does not appear among the three combinations in the semi-finals, then Wang Ai and Messi will most likely join forces to enter the final. Even if they lose, they can still maintain their hope of winning the Golden Globe Award. At least the fans have hope.
The sponsors have their say. And if they are blocked from the final, especially after such a face-to-face contest between the two, the losing side can fight to the death to win the European Golden Boot.
If Wang Ai loses the Champions League, the European Golden Boot will be his only hope of winning the Golden Ball at the end of the year.
If Messi loses the Champions League, the European Golden Boot will also be his hope of maintaining the Ballon d'Or before the end of the year.
As glorious as the super giants are, they are as dangerous as the super giants. If the Golden Globe Awards are announced half a year in advance, the damage to the business landscape will be huge, especially the competition between super giants, which is purely a zero-sum game.
Those ones.
Just like Ronaldo this season, after losing the competitiveness of the European Golden Boot, although he still maintains his status as a super giant and a business empire that other stars look up to, he has been swallowed up by the other two super giants.
of commercial sites.
The business competition between Messi and Wang Ai is still at a stalemate, and their respective bases are still quite solid. But now with UEFA's move, the two are like exhausted crickets being stabbed hard. UEFA
Lian held the two of them by their ears and shouted: Did I tell you to stop?
Hit! Knock your head off!
After the scene at the lottery ceremony, Wang Ai, who suddenly felt in danger, held emergency consultations with his family. According to the evaluation of Huang Xin and others, the core base area of Wang Ai's business territory is about one-third, that is, unless Wang Ai
The part that Ai would not run away if he had done something outrageous. Based on Wang Ai’s total advertising revenue of 330 million euros last year, it is about 140 million, concentrated in China and Asia. The other 100 million or so belong to the periphery of the base area, which is normal
They won’t run away under certain circumstances, but they will also be tempted to a certain extent. The last 90 million belongs to the guerrilla zone, about half of which is bordering on ordinary stars, and the other half is bordering on super giants. This part of advertisers is interested in the stars.
Personal image and talent are not deeply dependent on each other, and they are relatively pure wallflowers. They will fall to whichever side the wind is strong.
Leonie believes that the situation of Messi and Ronaldo is similar. There are three regions in the business map: inner, middle and outer. Generally speaking, there will be changes according to the size of super achievements. Generally speaking, the inner ring is
It is very stable. Even if it loses the Champions League or the Golden Boot, it can still keep it, but the middle ring will be threatened, and the outer ring will suffer even greater losses.
A super giant may still be a super giant, but there will be a difference between a strong super giant and a weak super giant.
Messi's real income last year was about 230 million euros, and Ronaldo's real income was about 200 million euros. Based on this data, will Messi and Wang Ai be able to keep their fans and sponsors interested in the Golden Ball at the end of the year?
The hope of winning the prize will result in a revenue change of at least tens of millions of euros.
With such a large sum of money, not to mention Messi and Ronaldo, who are from ordinary families, even Wang Ai cannot take it lightly.
However, Wang Ai is in the best situation now. After losing the Champions League, he has basically locked in the European Golden Boot and won the Golden Boot battle. This puts his business empire in a state of "guaranteing peace and winning".
Earn peace. Messi is slightly better. The competition for the Golden Boot has magnified the situation in the five major leagues. Of course, he, the leading superstar, will also benefit a lot. If he wins the Champions League and the European Golden Boot, there is no doubt that he will jump to the top.
At the top of the list of super giants. If the Champions League is won and the Golden Boot is lost, then the growth amplified by the market can be retained, but it cannot damage Wang Ai's business territory. If both lose, not only will all the benefits of the market growth be spit out
If it goes, it will also cause damage to the outer ring.
As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he has retreated and resisted in the inner ring. Most of the middle ring has been lost, and the outer ring has been swallowed up by the other two super giants except for retaining his advantages over ordinary stars.
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo is not hopeless. What if he wins the Champions League? Then he will regain the middle ring and drive into the outer ring. And what if Messi doesn’t want to compete or the injury has been bad? Between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi
The data is only 17. With 9 La Liga games left, Cristiano Ronaldo feels that if he goes crazy, there is no chance. Even if he doesn't go crazy and chases a little closer, he will push the enemies approaching in his inner circle farther away.
.
As Wang Ai and Consul General Wang said, the competition between the three super giants is competition, and competition is actually symbiosis. The amplification of the market makes the competition between the three not a pure zero-sum game. Now UEFA’s move
Put three super giants, especially Wang Ai and Messi, in a situation where they must decide the outcome.
Of course Wang Ai is dissatisfied with this kind of manipulation. He and Messi are not life-and-death enemies. Even when the two were fighting fiercely, at least Messi himself never insulted Wang Ai, and even Messi's team did not
What despicable means were used. When both of them were tired and wanted to take a rest, UEFA suddenly jumped out to heat up the situation, disrupting Wang Ai's plan of "nurturing the bandits to respect themselves": Of course it's not good to lose.
It's not good to win too much.
But Wang Ai had no choice, even if he protested privately, it was useless. UEFA's draw was a metaphysics and no one could use it. Let alone a star, what about the club? Wang Ai saw it clearly on TV
Rummenigge opened his eyes wide when Barcelona chairman Laporta slapped his forehead in frustration, and then what? These powerful bosses, no matter how much they complained in their hearts, they still accepted it gracefully on the surface.
This is the rule. As the super giant with the strongest foundation, Wang Ai cannot go against the trend and can only follow the trend.
But how to do it?
The family discussed until midnight without coming up with a clear and effective solution. Finally, Leonie gave up: "No more talking, go to sleep! It doesn't matter if we lose the Champions League. The European Golden Boot is what the public cares about most this year. Winning this
I can't win the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year. It doesn't matter if I win them both. The worst thing is that next season you just have to find opportunities to praise them both."
