Li Yu has refused to attend any media or business activities since returning to China. The purpose of coming to China was for Jenny to meet her parents to discuss marriage.
Originally, according to the plan, after the World Cup, Li Yuhui and Jenny flew to Miami, USA for vacation.
However, Li Yu was finally forced to agree to Nike's request to promote Tamron products in China.
Nike is also preparing to renew its contract with Li Yu, reducing endorsement fees and increasing the final profit dividend. Li Yu will also receive 20% of the shares in the Tenglong sub-brand!
This contract is not unattractive. For athletes, this is already a sky-high contract.
It is estimated that only Jordan in basketball can rival Li Yu.
Nike has spotted Li Yu's future potential. His career is still in its early stages, and there is still a long time to come. A huge contract has firmly tied Li Yu to achieve a win-win situation.
Of course, the details of the contract will not be announced to the outside world by both parties, and everything is speculation by the media.
Li Yu finally came before the public, sacrificing her personal time to support Nike and become a spokesperson.
Li Yu traveled around the major first-tier cities in China non-stop in four days. Every city would have a media meeting, a fan meeting, and finally a book signing event.
In the past, some NBA stars came to China to make money. Now our own world-class sports stars need more support. The fans are very enthusiastic and every event is very popular.
Jenny was by Li Yu's side throughout the whole process, playing the role of a female model and female assistant. The husband and wife appeared together, which was a gimmick for the media to earn space.
The last stop of the event was held in Yanjing. The day was more like a grand ceremony than a media meeting.
Many celebrities from the Chinese sports world came, and people from the sports world who have cooperative relations with Nike also attended.
Li Yu didn't have much contact with the Chinese sports community. Most people only exchanged a few polite words occasionally. Of course, there were still many well-known sports people in China who took the initiative to find Li Yu and asked for photos and autographs.
From this point alone, it is not difficult to see that Li Yu is an alternative in the Chinese sports world.
The idol of a star in the eyes of the public is definitely the most shining protagonist that night.
Nike also announced the extension of its contract with Li Yu at the dinner. Of course, the length of this contract is also very enviable, 20 years!
The contract was incredible, and everyone present was shocked. The career life of an athlete is almost 20 years, and this does not include the early stage of becoming famous. If they become famous, some people will not have 20 years of sports life.
If everyone present knew the contents of the contract, they would probably be jealous of Li Yu.
There are also shares in subsidiaries. In fact, this is a disguised cooperation, but a mere celebrity endorsement.
Back at the hotel, Li Yu was very tired, but Jenny seemed very interested. She was so excited today. This huge contract was more like a huge gift to bless the two of them, a big gift that could support them for a lifetime.
Of course she was very excited about the contract. Others didn't know the contents of the contract, but she knew it.
This means that Li Yu can earn at least US$40 million a year from Nike alone, which is still a conservative figure.
Jenny also didn't expect that a professional athlete would have such a level of income.
But she forgot that with a market as huge as China, there are only a handful of athletes in the world who can allow Nike to spend such a large amount of money. At present, only Jordan is the only one, and now there is another Li Yu.
Only one person per field!
It can be said that Li Yu has been pushed forward by China's huge market. Whoever owns Asia now has the basis to make money. Of course, where is Li Yu's own strength? Adidas is currently promoting
The spokesperson is Messi, but compared to Li Yu, Adidas’ football sports equipment has already opened a long way from Nike in Asia.
Tamron has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in China and Asia. When some limited edition basketball shoes are released, people queue up to buy them. You can also see the Tamron series of limited-edition clothing.
The performance during the World Cup was also like a booster, further stimulating the sales of Tamron series in Asia and even around the world.
Nike is not a fool. Only when it saw the benefits did it offer such a huge contract to tie up Li Yu.
During Li Yu's series of activities, the third and fourth place finals of the World Cup have been completed.
Germany defeated Uruguay 3:2 in the final and won the World Cup runner-up.
The third-place final was nicknamed "the loser's game." After defeating Uruguay, Germany won the third place in the World Cup for a record four times and became the first team to win the third place in a row. "Sports Pictures" consoled the fans after Germany missed the final, "
As long as we defeat Uruguay and win third place, we may replicate the way we defeated Uruguay in the third place match in 1970 and won the World Cup in 1974!" How to break the ice four years later, the Germans still have a long way to go and many problems to solve!
Whether the "loser's game" is still necessary to exist, players, media, and FIFA naturally have different opinions: FIFA Secretary General Valcke believes that the game is "about honor and prestige", which may become the final game of the World Cup or
For Forlan, Klose and Muller, who may compete for the Golden Boot, it is a matter of honor, but the Times "believes that the German and Uruguayan players would rather
"I would rather go to the beach for a holiday than to play games in Port Elizabeth." The statement clearly shows the player's mood. Lahm did not intend to hide his contemptuous attitude. "It is considered a consolation prize, at least I can win a bronze medal." Of course, I have not known "meat" for a long time.
The Uruguayans don’t think so. Uruguayan coach Tavares admitted, “Maybe it’s tasteless, but we will fight until the last minute”!
The Germans know best what it feels like to be "tasteless". In the 80 years since the World Cup, there have been 16 third or fourth place finals (there were no third or fourth place finals in 1930 and 1950), and the Germans participated in four of them and came out on top.
, followed by France and Brazil, which each played 3 games.
.The 1934 World Cup in the "Ice Age" set up the third or fourth place finals for the first time. The Germans were "gloriously" shortlisted. Finally, under the watch of 7,000 Naples spectators, they defeated Austria 3-2 and won the third place for the first time. What was the number of spectators in the final?
50000!
In the 1958 World Cup, the Federal Republic of Germany, which participated in the third and fourth place finals for the second time, lost 3-6 to France, led by French golden boot Fontaine. The French striker performed a "big four"; in the 1970 World Cup, the Federal Republic of Germany once again participated in the "loser's game"
Game", two generals Meyer and Beckenbauer are absent, Overat
Defeated Uruguay with one goal; in the 2006 World Cup, the host teamed up with Portugal to provide a feast of goals to the 52,000 spectators at the Stuttgart Stadium, if it were not for the 4 goals from "Little Pig" (2 goals), Gomez, and Petit (own goal)
Goals, the number of goals scored in the World Cup in Germany is very likely to be lower than that in the "Italian Summer"!
Although regarded as "tasteless", the participating teams that have relieved themselves of the burden of performance have repeatedly scored a lot of goals: since the 1978 World Cup, they have scored a total of 33 goals in the 8 third-place matches, averaging 4.125 goals per game! There is also Poland 3
Beat France 2-2 (1982), France beat Belgium 4-2 (1986), Sweden scored 4 goals
A bloodbath in Bulgaria (1994), Germany defeated Portugal 3-1! Of course, Germany defeated Uruguay and maintained the magical record of European teams finishing third in the World Cup in the past eight times (Poland, France, Italy, Sweden, Croatia,
Turkey, Germany), reflecting the overall strength of European teams.
Second place in the 2002 World Cup, third place in the 2006 World Cup, second place in the 2008 European Cup, third place in the 2010 World Cup, German football's seemingly glorious resume has always been embarrassing. It can only win consolation prizes such as the Golden Boot and Best Newcomer.
Not enough to wipe out the Germans
Due to the loss of the Hercules Cup, Miroslav Klose admitted that "winning the world championship is more important than scoring more goals than anyone else." The German team also announced early that it would not celebrate in front of the Brandenburg Gate again after 2006 and 2008.
, why? "If we celebrate again, we just want to bring the Hercules Cup!"
If you take into account the status of the German team's "youth army", the third place result is considered excellent. After all, before the World Cup, even German fans did not have much hope for this "German tank" which was the youngest in 1976. "Kickball"
According to a pre-World Cup poll, 34%
Fans believe it will stop at the top eight, 8.6% believe it will stop at the top 16, and 4% believe the "youth team" will not be able to qualify in the group. Almost half of the fans believe the German team will not be able to make it to the top four. Now it can compete with strong firepower.
Winning third place is considered exceeding expectations.
Before going to South Africa, Lahm assured the fans: "This is the best German team I have ever played for, stronger than 2006 and 2008." However, he still repeated the fate of "the orchid is still there, not a single bud". The reason
Why? German deputy coach Flick's argument hit the nail on the head, "Compared with Spain, we have a clear technical gap, not even in the same level." As Matthaus said, German football emphasizes that "
"whole body and spirit", but in the technical aspects, there is always one move missing: in 2002, the "Samba Army" led by 3r had sharp offense, in 2006, Italy was able to maximize its defense, and in 2010, Spain was able to control the ball.
To the point where it cannot be improved, the Germans can have a mercury-filled offense before the semi-finals. Facing Spain, they will still return to the defensive counterattack from two years ago. This is nothing more than a lack of confidence.
Whether the ice can be broken four years later, people in the German industry have surprisingly unanimous opinions. Former coach Klinsmann emphasized the growth of young players: "German young players who have been tempered for two or three years may have the strength and opportunity to impact the next World Cup.
", Flack also bet on the "Youth Army": "The young people who are gradually growing up are
"The players will be a very promising generation in German football." Do you feel familiar? Sammer thought so four years ago! The "Youth Army" has capital worth betting on, but how to consolidate their football skills and build a team like Brazil?
, the excellent technical skills of Italy and Spain are the links worth betting on!
After Li Yu read the report, he also knew that German young people have grown up well. Thinking about the future problems of the China Hong Kong team, he became a little worried. After all, naturalizing players is only a temporary move. In the long run, they will still be their own supply and transportation.
That's the kingly way.
However, China Hong Kong itself has great limitations. If it wants to continue to achieve good results and does not invest in maintaining the naturalization model, there is no other way out.
After thinking too much, Li Yu felt a little sad. Many things could no longer be changed. It would be great if he could play for China, but in reality there are not so many ifs. He can only play on behalf of the China Hong Kong team in the future.
Jenny suddenly noticed that Li Yu was staring blankly at the newspaper, and walked over with a smile, saying that he didn't pay attention to football or the World Cup. He looked stupid at first sight, but the man looked so good when he was in a daze.
Li Yu was startled by the sudden attack, and immediately took Jenny into his arms in retaliation, causing trouble.
At this time, the commentator's voice came from the TV.
It turns out that late tonight is the final battle of the World Cup.
Jenny looked at Li Yu with a blushing face. She found that the final match of the World Cup seemed to be closely related to the battle between the two. When she thought of this, Jenny was extremely shy.
Li Yu also felt something strange about Jenny, and kept stroking Jenny's delicate body. His hands began to knead a pair of plump things, and Li Yu followed suit and started to act.
The Netherlands had won all six previous games and advanced to the finals with outstanding performance. Although Spain lost to Switzerland in the first round, it also achieved five consecutive victories. Historically, the two sides had a record of 8 encounters. The Netherlands had 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.
Slightly advantageous. The two teams have never had a World Cup winning record before, so a new world champion will be born after this game.
The Netherlands arranged a 451 formation today. Robin van Persie still advanced, Robben and Kuyt moved on the wings, and Sneijder was the core of the midfield. Spain continued the lineup from the semi-finals, with Villa advancing and Iniesta
Flying together with Pedro on both wings, Xavi in the center serves as the core.
Neither team could open up the situation in the 90-minute battle, and the decisive battle entered overtime.
It was at this time that Li Yu really started to watch the ball seriously. It was already dim outside, and Jenny was asleep next to him. Leaning on the bed, Li Yu watched the final overtime game.
In the 101st minute, Navas' shot from the right side of the penalty area hit the side net.
In the 104th minute, Fabregas made a continuous pass in the middle and shot slightly outside the right post. In the 105th minute, the Netherlands replaced Van Bronckhorst with Brafhead. Before the start of the second half of overtime, Spain replaced Torres.
Replaced Villa. In the 109th minute, Iniesta
At the front of the penalty arc, Heitinga was knocked down. The latter was sent off with two yellow cards. Then Xavi hit the goal with a free kick over the crossbar. In the 111th minute, Van der Veer tripped Iniesta and got a yellow card. In the 115th minute
, Sneijder's free kick hit Cesc Fabregas and hit the baseline.
In the 116th minute of the game, Fabregas sent a wonderful short pass inside the penalty arc. Iniesta successfully countered offside on the right side of the penalty area and volleyed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal. With this goal, Spain 1-1
0 victory over the Netherlands, winning the World Cup for the first time in history.
After seeing the goal, Li Yu was very calm. Who won the championship in the end was not too important to him. All he wanted was an answer.
For the Spanish team, this world championship means two things. One is the end of the era of humiliation. The other is the beginning of the era of dynasty.
Before the World Cup, for decades, there had been a kind of ridicule against Spain for being "cowardly", "flashy" and "showing off". Spanish footballers certainly wanted to fight back. However, even the Spanish team itself could not explain why.
This country has the best league and a lot of stars, but in the history of the World Cup, the best
The record was only the semi-finals. In 1950, Spain reached the semi-finals (the semi-finals of that year used a single round-robin group to determine the champion), and finally tied with Uruguay, was humiliated by Brazil 1-6, and lost 1-3.
Sweden ranked fourth. But this humiliating journey was actually the best result of the Spanish team in the World Cup until this World Cup!
In the past 60 years, Spanish footballers have endured ridicule, waiting all the time to break through this achievement and win a World Cup championship. However, in the past 60 years, Spain's record has been dismal: 1954, 1958, 1970, 1974, absent; 1962,
1966,19
78, 1998, the group was eliminated; 1990, 2006, the top 16; 1982, 1986, 1994, 2002, the quarterfinals... On this night, Spain finally ended its long history of humiliation and proved that it has achieved transformation. Now, who is still there?
Would you say Spain is weak?
Furthermore, Spain has already started a powerful matador dynasty. In the 2008 European Cup, the Spanish team went all the way and won the championship trophy. Two years later, Spain won the World Cup again. In the 2008-09 season, Barcelona even more
It is the crowning of the European Champions Trophy. The national team and league records have soared. Today's Spanish football can be said to be the best football in Europe and the world!
Of course, we must see the huge potential contained in the Spanish team: in the national team, Iniesta, Torres, Ramos and others are in their best years, and the careers of Pedro, Butzquez, Pique and others are
Their careers have just started. In the coming years, these Spanish players will also be in the European Cup.
The power to compete for the World Cup. In the league, La Liga not only includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi [blog], Kaká, Xavi, Iniesta and many other top stars, but also brings together Mourinho and other top stars.
The top coach in football. La Liga's record and attention are expected to be further improved.
In any case, the overall prosperity of Spanish football is unstoppable. This night, the Spanish team won the championship, which is the most obvious sign: the Spanish team has established a dynasty era in world football.
