Austria No. 7, the most frequented dining spot in Valencia.
This evening, many local, Spanish, and even European media reporters gathered outside to stop, but this well-known high-end restaurant in Valencia refused to open to the public.
It's covered!
Valencia arranges its annual Christmas dinner here.
The players of the Bat Legion come from all over the world, including Asia, Africa and South America. Everyone has different eating habits and tastes. Among the many restaurants in the city, they want to find a restaurant that everyone in the team will find delicious.
It's delicious, but at least it has to be a restaurant where you can eat it. It's not an easy task.
Therefore, there are really not many choices for dining places in Valencia.
After all, he is currently the leader in the La Liga standings, and his every move has attracted the attention of the outside media.
Different from the battle when Su Dong first set foot in this restaurant, this time the media reporters seemed very "polite". At least they no longer blocked people at the door, but greeted the players in an orderly manner and from a distance.
They would take photos or something, and at most they would call the player’s name, hoping that he would cooperate in a POSS and take a few photos to facilitate communication.
They all work for a living, and as long as they don't leave a bad impression on weekdays, the players are basically satisfied.
In this way, the players, coaching staff and core staff also arrived at the restaurant one after another.
…
"Huh, dealing with those reporters every time is more tiring than playing a game."
Aimar sat down on the seat next to Su Dong and exhaled heavily, feeling relieved that he had finally gotten rid of the entanglement.
Su Dong and Vicente couldn't help laughing when they saw his appearance.
This guy is not tall, so he doesn't like taking pictures, but he looks pretty good, and reporters like to take pictures of him.
This resulted in a very embarrassing matter.
"Okay, don't think that those reporters are just here to take pictures of you." Vicente said with envy.
In terms of appearance, he is actually quite handsome, but he can't resist Aimar taking advantage of Kawaii, so the two get together and have a lot of back and forth in private, which can be regarded as a way to enhance their friendship.
communication method.
Aimar didn't take it seriously at all. He still had a smiling baby face, looked around, and raised his hand to say hello to old acquaintances from time to time.
Despite his short stature, he still carries a lot of weight in the Valencia locker room.
Firstly, because he is senior, and secondly, as the core midfielder of the team, he has always performed well.
"Are you planning any special activities tonight?" Aimar asked with concern.
"Still the same old thing." Vicente replied boredly, "Team collective activities are nothing more than awards and the like."
It is difficult to come up with something new at this kind of team dinner, and even the awards must be comprehensive.
Su Dong didn't care about this. With his performance this season, he no longer needs to rely on winning awards to highlight his status.
Of course, compared with veteran players such as Albelda, Vicente, and Aimar, he is still a little immature.
Sometimes the status and influence in the locker room are not based on your performance on the court, because it involves issues of qualifications and player management, and Su Dong has no interest in this.
"Su, what activities are there during the Christmas holidays?" Amar asked with concern.
Before Su Dong could answer, Vicente laughed out loud, "What else can he do? He must be training at home again."
"Isn't that true?" Aimar also laughed.
However, this really seems to be Su Dong's style.
"You got it wrong this time." Su Dong shook his head.
"Is there really a show?" Vicente was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
This really overturned his past impression of Su Dong.
"If there is any show, please take me with you." Aimar said happily.
Su Dong shook his head, "You can't go."
"Why?" Aimar looked at Su Dong with kawaii eyes.
"I'm going to Munich, Germany."
"Ah?" Aimar was surprised, "You want to transfer to Bayern Munich?"
At this time, not only Vicente next to him looked over, but other people at the same table also looked at Su Dong in surprise.
Isn’t it possible that after only half a season of good football, he needs to transfer?
So who will Valencia rely on to score goals in the second half of the season?
Su Dong waved his hand awkwardly and pointed at Aimar complainingly, "Who told you that I was going to transfer?"
"Then you still want to go to Munich?"
"I'm going to attend a business event." Su Dong replied angrily.
Aimar, Vicente and others were relieved at this, as they were almost scared to death just now.
If Su Dongzhen transfers, what will happen to Valencia's forward?
What's more important is that I haven't received any news before.
"Wait a minute, you went to Germany to participate in an event, why can't you take me with you?" Aimar was very curious.
Vicente kept nodding, as if he also wanted to take advantage of the three-guarantee trip at public expense.
"You really can't go." Su Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Seeing the puzzled expressions on Aimar and Vicente's faces, Su Dong knew Aimar's character. This kid seemed introverted, but he was actually a curious baby. After getting to know him, he knew how capable this kid was.
.
Introverted? Shy?
They are all just pretending to deceive the little girl!
"I'm going to attend a BMW event, do you dare to go?" Su Dong asked with a half-smile.
Amar and Vicente were stunned for a moment, and then fainted.
They really don't dare to go to BMW events because Valencia's sponsor is Toyota, and it is the highest-level chest advertising sponsor with an exclusive agreement.
If Valencia players went to support BMW, don't worry, the sponsor would sue them to the management in minutes.
"Wait, Su, we can't go, why can you go?" Vicente was the first to react.
this is the key of the problem.
Why can you be special?
"The reason why my new contract has been delayed for so long is because of this clause." Su Dong explained.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Faced with Valencia sending money to Su Dong to renew the contract, one of the important reasons why Su Dong and Mendes delayed was that
, the business team behind Su Dong wanted to obtain a clause for him to break the exclusive sponsorship agreement with Toyota Motor, allowing Su Dong to sign sponsorships with other car brands.
Toyota has always wanted to sign Su Dong. In the past six months or so, it has contacted Su Dong's team many times directly or indirectly through the Valencia management, but it has never been able to reach a result.
The main reason is that Su Dong was somewhat resistant to Japanese companies.
This has a lot to do with the traditional education he received from childhood.
This gave other car brands the opportunity to get involved. BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz all had contact with Su Dong's team, but in the end it was BMW that offered more generous conditions.
The annual sponsorship fee of 3 million euros is considered a major sponsorship in the world's automotive industry, not to mention European football. It shows that BMW attaches great importance to Sudong and the Chinese market.
Moreover, he is the image ambassador of all series of models in the Asia-Pacific region. Starting from January next year, BMW will launch a series of advertising and marketing around Sudong in the Asia-Pacific region, which is bound to greatly enhance Sudong's influence in the Asia-Pacific region.
Toyota's sincerity is good, but compared with BMW, it is still slightly lacking.
However, since Valencia's main sponsor is Toyota, non-Toyota brand cars are not allowed at the Mestanha Stadium and Patna training base. Even if Su Dong endorses BMW, he will not be allowed to appear in Patna in the future.
At the training base, you can only drive a Toyota.
Of course, he doesn't have a driver's license yet, so he doesn't have any worries in this regard.
…
Even though he had a good relationship with Aimar and Vicente, Su Dong would definitely not disclose the specific details.
For example, the contract amount and length of time etc.
But this does not mean that Aimar and Vicente are fools. They can guess with a little guessing that Su Dong will definitely sign another blockbuster contract, and it will be with BMW, the team's main sponsor Toyota's rival.
"The Chinese are awesome!" Aimar said with great envy.
With a huge market of 1.4 billion people, coupled with the rapid economic development in recent years, which brands around the world do not want to enter China?
International automobile giants such as BMW, Audi and Toyota are all going crazy in the Chinese market, okay?
Su Dong's emergence has undoubtedly brought them huge commercial value. Who doesn't want to cooperate with Su Dong?
Needless to say, Aimar is from Argentina. The economy of his home country has become increasingly sluggish in recent years. Even Vicente, who comes from Spain, a developed European country, is far inferior to the Soviet Union's ability to make money.
You know, Spain has a population of just over 40 million. If this were in China, it would be a proper province.
"How's it going? Are you still going?" Su Dong asked with a smile when he saw both teammates were wilted.
Aimar and Vicente both looked at Su Dong resentfully, with expressions of abandonment.
"I've long heard that you have ten business contracts to sign. I didn't believe it yet, but now..." Vicente shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He could only be envious, even jealous.
Who told Su Dong that there was a huge country behind him?
This kind of thing is really something you can't envy, it's all caused by reincarnation.
"No, no." Aimar kept waving his hands, "You are rich now and you don't care about these loose coins. I will collect the award for you tonight. After Christmas, you must have a big meal from me."
"Isn't one meal enough?" Vicente immediately stopped, why are you so unambitious?
"At least two meals!"
"Yes, two meals!" Amar immediately changed his mind.
Su Dong nodded nonchalantly, "Okay, as long as you are happy, call the whole team together and I'll treat you."
As a forward, his goals are inseparable from the support of his teammates. Su Dong is also very willing to treat guests, mingle with his teammates, and have a good relationship with everyone. This way, he will be able to cooperate more easily on the court.
At the very least, you can avoid the situation where you are at odds with each other and support you on the surface, but actually deliberately create trouble for you on the court.
Don’t think that this kind of thing doesn’t happen in professional golf courses!
In the final analysis, football is still played by people, and as long as you are a human being, there will be times when you are selfish!
Su Dong learned this truth from his days at Sporting Lisbon!
