Grass roots glory

Chapter 696 Goal
The warm-up match with Guangzhou Evergrande is only the first stop and the first activity of Dortmund's China tour, but this arrangement is very suitable for the appetite of the fans.

In recent years, many European giants will choose to go to the Chinese market to seek gold in summer, but their arrangements are often very obvious for commercial purposes. Then play a warm-up match casually, beat the Chinese Super League team by one game, and then leave.Real Madrid's trip to China last season was this rhythm.In the end, they played a warm-up match with two Chinese Super League teams in Guangzhou. They beat Guangzhou Evergrande 7:1 and Guangzhou R&F 6:0.

From the fan's point of view, this arrangement is actually a big loss, out of pocket, and watched a unilateral rampage.In addition to enjoying the heat for a while, of course, except for the die-hard fans of individual teams or stars, for them, appreciating the star's performance is the top priority.

And Dortmund's China tour arrangement is very "humane", playing games first and then attending various activities. Klopp's statement is that the team needs to seize every moment of preparation time.But it has won unanimous praise in the Chinese media circle.Everyone knows that Dortmund's trip is to make money, but at least they didn't show any signs of eating.

In this game, Guangzhou Evergrande's home stadium, Tianhe Sports Center, was full. When the DJ introduced Zhou Tiancheng, the audience burst into applause. He even got even better cheers than the home team.

Zhou Tiancheng saw many teammates of the national team in the opposite starting lineup: Gao Lin, Zeng Cheng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng...

It is a little regretful that Zheng Zhi was not seen in the starting lineup. Zhou Tiancheng actually hoped to meet the big brother head-on. Although there were group confrontations during the national team training, the two of them were basically on the same side, and occasionally they were assigned Opponent groups also have to avoid injury and not exert their full strength.But Zhou Tiancheng still had no chance today.After all, Zheng Zhi has just finished the Confederations Cup, and the domestic Chinese Super League is still in progress, so it is normal not to let him play.

There is no suspense about the outcome of this game.Although Guangzhou Evergrande is in a strong position in the domestic and AFC Champions League, and has the momentum to win the AFC Champions League this year, it is obviously at a disadvantage compared with Dortmund, the top European team.

Dortmund locked the score at 3:0 in the first half.The cheers were louder and louder in Tianhe Sports Center.The fans never cared about the result of the game, they just thought the game was worth the price of admission.

Among the three goals, Zhou Tiancheng contributed two powerful world waves, and then assisted Gotze with a barb pass to complete the final blow in stoppage time.This highly ornamental action is in line with the needs of commercial competitions.

Who said Zhou Tiancheng can't play tricks?It's just that he never shows off in official games.

However, Gotze just walked over after scoring the goal, patted Zhou Tiancheng's outstretched hands, and kept his head slightly lowered, not very excited.

"Mario, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? I'm not handsome enough?"

"Handsome, handsome." Gotze just replied in a slightly perfunctory manner.

In a box at the scene, a rather elegant old man wearing glasses made a phone call.

"Ed, Zhou is in very good form. I will try my best to contact him after the game... You don't need to thank me. I have struggled here all my life. Now I can't just pat my ass and leave. I will try my best. Dortmund will definitely The lion opened his mouth. But this is your business. I will try my best to work through him and the agent, but whether you can get Dortmund or not is your business."

After the old man put down the phone, he stared at the venue and whispered to himself: "I hope my old face can still be useful."

There have always been many teams eyeing Zhou Tiancheng. As long as he does not leave the Bundesliga or join Bayern, he will always be the prey in the eyes of European giants. But if the media notices the identity of this old man, they will definitely have a premonition that there will be big news.

"Okay, sir, I understand, I wish you success." The other end of the phone responded.

In the second half of the game, Klopp began to change his face about the lineup, replacing the main players one after another. Including the new aid Papastathopoulos, a group of substitute players got the chance to play.

Moreover, Dortmund has slowed down the pace of the game. It really talks about "friendship". It has already led by three goals, and it will not look good if it wins more.They are counting on the Chinese market as a cash cow, but they will not come to China like Real Madrid and turn the friendly match into a "Friendly End" match.

And the final score was not ugly, Guangzhou Evergrande scored a goal in the second half.The Argentine foreign aid Konca set the ball directly around the wall and drilled into the goal. Weidenfeller didn't even make a save.

This friendly match is just an appetizer, and this result also makes Chinese fans have a better view of Dortmund.Next, Dortmund needs to attend a series of commercial activities, including shooting a promotional video for their jersey sponsor Puma for the Chinese market.

Originally, Zhou Tiancheng's photogenic effect should be the best for this kind of event, and the star effect can be highlighted immediately, but he can't.He is now a signed star of Adidas, and in order to prevent him from being poached, Zhou Tiancheng personally holds 40.00% of the portrait rights in the contract, they have 40.00%, and Dortmund only 20.00%.

Bundesliga clubs do not value the image rights of players like La Liga.At the beginning, they also made concessions in many aspects in order to facilitate Zhou Tiancheng's smooth joining.This kind of proportion allocation is enough for Adidas and Zhou Tiancheng to hold the initiative. It is no problem to shoot some promotional videos of Dortmund club, but it is absolutely impossible to promote their competitors.

The whole team shoots a promotional video for Puma, and when everyone is making money off the field, Zhou Tiancheng seems to have nothing to do...

How could he be idle?Even if he wanted to be idle, he still had an active agent.

……

"Zhou, here comes your job, big job!" Lorca said when he called him.

"Stop talking nonsense, in your eyes, any job that can bring you money is a big job." Zhou Tiancheng said.

Loka smiled over there: "I will never lie to you this time, and it is in line with your current popularity in China. A beer company in China called Tsingtao Brewery just contacted me. They very much hope that you can speak for them. They I very much hope to invite you to endorse. They will be launched during the World Cup next year, just in time to cater to the enthusiasm during the World Cup.”

"Beer?" Zhou Tiancheng hesitated: "Didn't you tell them that I don't drink alcohol? Don't you think it's ruining my reputation if you put up such an advertisement?"

Loka chuckled: "Zhou, I'm curious, where is the joy of your life? According to what you say, those who endorse condoms must be the heinous Alexandre Dumas?"

Lorca pushed back with one sentence, Zhou Tiancheng paused for a few seconds, and responded, "Let me think about it."
