The strongest winger

Chapter 253

******
"After the first half of the season in La Liga and the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, Ai has become the hottest young player in European football today. His performance is also worthy of this title. His non-stop scoring steps have made us cheer for Valencia. He has won all four league games this season...In the first game of the 05-06 UEFA Champions League, he even helped the team beat the Serie A giants Inter Milan with three goals. As long as he continues to perform steadily, he will definitely become the most dazzling superstar..."

The headline from the "Valencia Sports Daily", and then Enrique Wien wrote his worries in his column, "Although the team has signed a new contract with Ai before the start of this season, and the treatment has reached the highest level of the team's second grade, but the liquidated damages clause of 5000 million euros is a fatal loophole. "

Sorel frowned and put down the newspaper in his hand.

At the beginning, he was complacent about the 5000 million euro breach of contract clause, but according to Enrique Wien's analysis, it seems that it is not safe, but very dangerous...

So, he made a phone call to the general manager and sports director of the team respectively, and arranged a meeting in the conference room at 02:30 in the afternoon.

Mainstream newspapers in Europe report on Aiello in this way, let alone Chinese domestic newspapers. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as getting goose bumps after reading it.

"Our young player Aiello performed well in the first round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in Group H that ended early this morning. His outstanding performance was like the king of the ball, with two shots and one pass, helping Valencia beat Inter Milan [-]-[-] at home. Moreover, his amazing performance also caused Inter Milan's central defender Materazzi to be sent off after two yellows and one red..."

"...In this game, Aiello encountered [-] fouls by the Nerazzurri alone, and successfully broke through [-] times in the whole game. He is worthy of being jointly selected by La Liga "Marca" and "Aspen". From these two simple statistics, we can know how dazzling his performance in the game is. There are many things about him that many players in the Super League can learn from... The spirit of never giving up and being good at self-expression is indeed worth learning. Only in this way...our players can realize themselves There will be a higher room for improvement..."

Excerpts from front-page news from SportsDaily.

"Football News" directly named it with such a biased title as "Chinese players are role models among overseas players". The background picture is the celebration action made by Ai Luo with his back to the stadium camera after scoring the first goal. There was a penalty that went to team-mate David Villa, and there was a chance to kick the ball at the junction of the crossbar and the post, otherwise... We also have players who can perform a hat-trick in the history of the Champions League, but unfortunately..."

"...Of course, we didn't get nothing. His two shots and one pass helped the team beat Inter Milan. At the same time, it also made a good start for Valencia to enter the knockout stage of the second stage of the Champions League."

In addition, "Football News" also mentioned Zhao Xuri and Hao Junmin who came off the bench in the second half of the other two UEFA Champions League games. He got a high score of 30, so it can be seen...his performance is very good!"

"...In the match between Schalke 04 and AC Milan at home, Hao Junmin came on as a substitute at No. 17 minutes in the second half. In the effective playing time, Jankulovski's defense was a bit easy. His excellent ball-handling skills and breakthrough ability made him hard to defend. Although Schalke 04 eventually lost to AC Milan at home, Hao Junmin's performance was recognized by AC Milan's left-back Jankulovski. jersey..."

Such a high profile has been praised in the newspapers, not to mention on the Internet, just from the registered personnel of Ai Luo's only official fan website in China, "Ai Shen's World" - as many as 200 million registered persons.

And there are at least 500 million permanent fans every day, which means that each person publishes a new post every second, and there are only 86400 posts.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that other posts cannot be posted, but that after they are published, thousands of posts will be covered up by new posts, and unless it is refined by the administrator, it will get more people’s support.

One of the posts by a netizen named "Ai Shenwudi" by a friend named 0402 had more than 2000 million views in just half a day, and hundreds of thousands of comments under the post.

This shows how much domestic fans expect from these players who have studied abroad.

"Excerpted from the original words of Inter Milan coach Mancini'Valencia is a great team. There are many powerful players in their team, just like Ai in their team. I am amazed at the speed of their growth. This game is not so much lost to Valencia as it was lost to Ai...'. It can be seen that Aiello's performance is miraculous. Even the opposing coach praised him. I have to say that Aiello is an incomprehensible existence..."

It is worth mentioning that a report from the British media "The Sun" focused on the controversy caused by the players of Valencia and Inter Milan before the game.

"I believe everyone is very curious about the celebration after Ai scored the first goal, right? So...I have the obligation to tell readers that there is actually a reason for this--because before the game, Adriano, the 'king' of Inter Milan, revealed that he did not know who Ai was when he was interviewed by our reporter.

"...One more thing I have to mention is the abnormality of Inter Milan's central defender Materazzi 10 minutes before the opening, because he lost his position twice and appeared in the position where the midfielder should appear, and the most puzzling thing for everyone is definitely why he made consecutive fouls against Ai. In fact... there is a reason for this..."

Many readers who bought this issue are full of curiosity about the next content. What caused Materazzi to target Aiello?

Although the sales volume of this issue of "The Sun" was very good, it still did not cause much response in Europe. On the contrary, William Pereira, the president of Nike's European headquarters, had a strong interest in Aiello. In just two days, he had sorted out a [-]-page document and prepared to report it to the headquarters in Beaverton, USA, because Aiello's style is very suitable for Nike's style——has a personality!
Besides, Ailuo has a huge market in China.

Although he has been publicly released from the national team by the Chinese XX Football Association, it has not hindered the Chinese people's support for him in the slightest.

That's why William Pereira wanted to sign Aiello.

More importantly, he discovered a very interesting thing, that is, the famous sports brand Adidas, which had a cooperative relationship with the Chinese XX Football Association, once had the idea of ​​​​signing Aiello, but the relevant leaders of the Chinese XX Football Association were using pressure at that time, so Adidas had to give up this future star.

At the same time, it also allowed William Pereira to pick up a bargain.

Because the presidents distributed in various countries like them are all candidates to succeed the president of Nike headquarters in the future, and the players they sign are the weight of their competition. Although Ai Luo has not yet become popular at this time, William Pereira is full of confidence in this.

The top scorer and best player of the World Youth Championship, can the top scorer of the Spanish League 04 in the 05-[-] season have no future?
impossible!
He is still very sympathetic to the president of Adidas' headquarters in China. Why would he lose such a promising young player for the sake of the Chinese XX Football Association?

That night, William Pereira, the president of Nike's European headquarters, made a phone call with Aiello's agent, Papa Adrian.

Immediately after the next day, Papa Adrian told Aiello such good news, but... After careful thinking between the two, this matter is still a little later, because it is still the beginning of the league, and the UEFA Champions League has also just started. This time is not suitable to focus on advertising revenue outside the arena.

Of course, the most important reason is that Papa Adrian is not satisfied with Nike's conditions. Only when Ai Luo's performance gets better and better, can he have a higher bargaining chip and strive for better treatment.

After all, this is related to your own direct income, so you have to be cautious.

The next day, well-informed reporters almost reported the news, but it didn't cause a sensation, because Nike really valued too many players every year, but not many were signed in the end.

Three days later, Valencia started the fifth round of the league at their home court against Real Sociedad.

Flores made multiple position rotations when forming the formation. Aiello, Aimar and David Villa all got rotations and sat on the bench.

Originally, there was news about this game, but Ai Luo, who played well against Inter Milan at home in the middle of the week, got a rotation, so all the content written before the game was unnecessary.

Only one Nihat is simply unable to arouse the curiosity of the public.

But the game ended in a 1:1 draw. Ai Luo came off the bench at the No.701 minute of the game, but his appearance did not help the team to overtake the score on the field. In the 20 minutes of playing, there were only a few good breakthroughs that made people shine, and he was a little impatient in the final kick.

PS: Guaranteed second is more likely to be late, and you have to drive back to Guangzhou.
