With Zhao Yang's goal, the Spaniard finally drew with their nemesis Levante at the Valencia City Stadium.
Although they did not win, with the away goal, the goal set before the game was basically achieved.
After the game, head coach Sergio was very satisfied with the result. He said that the team was able to draw with Levante in such an unfavorable situation, which was a good start for this third round of games. He hopes that the players will be better in the next two games.
They will keep up their efforts and strive to defeat Levante and get rid of their hat of "Spanish nemesis".
Levante was tied by Espanyol in the final stage, and coach Lucas didn't really care.
Lucas believes that Levante's task of relegation is arduous. The team's focus is on the league. The results in the Copa del Rey are not the most important to Levante. He hopes to defeat Espanyol in the next La Liga.
, got the three points the team desperately needed.
Back in Barcelona, head coach Sergio gave the players a half-day off and started training the next day to prepare for the second game against Levante.
As soon as Zhao Yang arrived home, his manager Martinez came, and with him came Miss Truth.
"Mr. Martinez, Sister Truth, what kind of wind brings you here?"
Zhao Yang said hello casually and poured a glass of water for each of them.
Zhen Li said: "It's the spring breeze that brings us here to bring you warmth."
Zhao Yang asked curiously: Sister Zhenli, what warmth can you bring to me?"
Zhen Li pursed her lips to Martinez and said, "It's better for Mr. Martinez to talk to you."
Martinez cleared his throat and said: "Mr. Zhao, you have been very good in La Liga recently, scoring goals and assists constantly. Your performance has attracted the attention of many big companies..."
Zhen Li translated Martinez's words to Zhao Yang one by one.
Is this reporting to me?
Zhao Yang sighed and said: "Sister Zhen Li, can you please make him more concise and stop being so long-winded?"
Zhen Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let him talk about the key points."
Martinez continued: "The two major sports brands, Nike and Adidas, are optimistic about your potential and hope that you can endorse their products. I had a preliminary conversation with representatives of the two companies and learned about their intentions. Now I want to ask
Please give me your opinion.”
Zhao Yang said: "I have heard of both companies and bought their shoes, but I don't know them well, so I just want to know who pays more."
Martinez said: "The two companies know each other well, so there is not much difference in the quotations given, which is about 3 million euros over five years."
Three million in five years? Euros! Equivalent to 30 million RMB? 6 million RMB a year!
Plus the annual salary, doesn’t this make you rich?
Zhao Yang was a little confused.
Zhen Li saw that Zhao Yang looked like he had never seen the world and said: "Adidas and Nike give Messi and Ronaldo hundreds of millions of endorsement fees every year."
Zhao Yang also went to football forums and knew about the sky-high price endorsements of these superstars and even lifetime endorsement contracts. However, they were superstars and he was just a fledgling rookie. Of course, he could not compare with Messi and Ronaldo.
Nike and Adidas don't know whether their current performance will continue. If it's just a flash in the pan, then paying 600,000 euros a year will be considered a loss.
Zhao Yang thinks that the reason why Nike and Adidas are so eager to find him recently may be related to the skyrocketing number of his Weibo fans, with more than 40 million fans. These two companies feel that they will not lose money no matter what.
Zhao Yang has his own ideas about endorsement contracts.
The outside world does not know that Zhao Yang is a systematic man and does not dare to risk investing in him, but Zhao Yang knows his own value. With the sign-in system, his performance will get better and better, and his value will become higher and higher, so the sign-in manager will
It is definitely a loss-making transaction.
Zhao Yang said to Martinez: "The endorsement fee is reasonable, but the contract period is too long."
Martinez understood what Zhao Yang meant and said: "This contract is negotiable. If your performance in the second season is better, you can increase the price on this basis. And if you perform well, you can get bonuses.
"
Zhao Yang said: "There are certain restrictions, right? I think it would be better to sign for a shorter period, for example, once a year."
Martinez smiled bitterly, "Mr. Zhao, endorsement contracts between Adidas and Nike are rarely signed like this."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "We can talk, if not one year, just three years."
"Okay, I'll try to talk to them." Martinez replied respectfully.
At first, the Spanish agent thought that Zhao Yang came from West Division C, so he looked down on Zhao Yang and was somewhat indifferent to him.
Now Zhao Yang is killing everyone in La Liga, scoring 11 goals. He is a superstar with unlimited potential. Martinez has also become extremely respectful and submissive to Zhao Yang.
After talking about the endorsement contract, Martinez added: "Mr. Zhao, the winter break is coming soon. The Espanyol Club has found me and is ready to talk to you about contract renewal."
Zhao Yang was a little surprised and said: "I haven't even had half a season yet. I've signed a contract for three years, and now we're talking about renewing it?"
Martinez smiled and said: "The time is indeed short, but your current performance is so eye-catching. I don't know how many teams have contacted me, hoping to poach you. Can the Spanish club rest assured? They will definitely use a long-term contract.
You are tied up. Of course, this is also good for you. With your current performance, the annual salary of 200,000 euros is too small, so low that even the club does not feel at ease."
Zhao Yang thought about it. His current number of goals is almost the same as Ronaldo's, but his annual salary is only 200,000 euros per year. This is indeed a bit meager.
"Then let's talk." Zhao Yang said.
Martinez thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhao, do you have any plans to change clubs?"
Zhao Yang was stunned for a moment when he was asked. Indeed, because the Espanyol was acquired by Chinese investors, Zhao Yang even regarded it as his own team, so he had no idea of changing teams.
“I have no idea at the moment.
Martinez said: "If there is no idea of changing clubs, we can sign a longer contract. However, I have an obligation to remind you that among the teams I hope you go to, there are many wealthy teams and the resources behind a wealthy team.
It’s very powerful. Playing in a wealthy club not only brings you a high salary and can win championships, but it can also help you compete for individual awards such as the Ballon d’Or.”
Before Zhao Yang could speak, Zhen Li interrupted first, "Golden Globe Award? Does he have a chance to win the Golden Globe Award? It would be good if he can be included in the thirty-man roster."
Martinez retorted: "It's hard to say, I believe Mr. Zhao will create miracles."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Thank you for your trust. Now I have no plans to leave Espanyol. You can talk to the club normally. Don't make it too tense and affect the relationship between me and the club.
Martinez said: "Okay Mr. Zhao, leave the off-field matters to me. You just need to concentrate on playing football."
