Glory Greenery

Chapter 342

After the match against Bordeaux, Yang Mo was selected into the ESPN Team of the Week without any suspense.

And his record of pulling the ball in the penalty area and turning around and shooting with his heel was also selected as the best goal of the week selected by Sky Sports.

For a while, the whole of Europe was full of discussions about Yang Mo's imaginative goal.

And Manchester City's two-game winning streak at the start of the Premier League this season, and the strong performance of scoring eight goals on the offensive end, were overwhelmed by Yang Mo's performance.

What is a superstar, Yang Mo told everyone very well.

No matter where he went, it was his news, no matter where he went, no one could steal his limelight.

After two games, although all the tycoons in the Premier League have won consecutive victories, Manchester City still sits firmly at the top of the standings by virtue of their goal difference.

What makes Manchester City even more delighted is that after having Yang Mo, the attention of Manchester City immediately increased.

The posture of countless reporters surrounding the Carrington base all day made Mubarak dumbfounded. He fully felt that before Manchester City spent a lot of money to sell, they could only be called players, but Yang Mo, who bought this time, was called a star.

Manchester City, as the representative of the golden dollar football in European football today, naturally did not have a good reputation in the past.

But now with Yang Mo, everyone gradually began to turn their eyes from the local tyrant back to the arena.

Every day, what the media is most concerned about and what the fans discuss most is what will Yang Mo do in the game, and what kind of results will Manchester City create under the leadership of Yang Mo this season?
Will Yang Mo break the Premier League's scoring record, and will he be the top scorer in the Champions League for three consecutive times?Will it steal Europe's top scorer from Ronaldo and Messi?

With the increase in attention, Manchester City's commercial income has also increased.

When Yang Mo first debuted in the past, most of the people chasing Yang Mo were domestic companies in China.

But now as Yang Mo won the Golden Globe Award, his performance is getting better and better, and his reputation in the world is getting bigger and bigger. Those world-class companies have also begun to chase Yang Mo.

Therefore, the commercial department of Manchester City suddenly discovered that more and more companies are looking for cooperation with them, not only Chinese companies, but also top brands in the world.

Attention, reputation, and income all rose together. Manchester City suddenly felt that it was a very good deal to spend 8000 million to buy Yang Mo.

It's no wonder that after Bayern ran away with Yang Mo this season, Hoeness has a bitter face when he sees everyone, and he knows how to cherish it when he loses it. This sentence is really not a lie.

However, there is one more thing that must be emphasized, that is, companies seeking commercial cooperation in Manchester City have more or less other purposes, such as the competition between Audi and Nike for Manchester City's jersey advertisements.

Behind the competition between these two Manchester City jersey advertisements, the deeper competition is about Yang Mo's competition. They are trying to win Yang Mo's new contract in a curve in the way of winning Manchester City.

All of this is because most of the endorsement contracts signed by Yang Mo in 09 have all expired this year.

In order to win Yang Mo, the star with the most potential for development in world football, Nike aims to successfully renew the contract with Yang Mo, while Adi is trying to snatch away food.

Of course, no matter who wins in the end, it is destined to be Yang Mo who will benefit.

And with most of Yang Mo's endorsement contracts in place, it's not just Adidas and Nike who are competing for Yang Mo. Other types of endorsements are also chasing each other.

Among the automakers, Audi, the original endorsement brand, has encountered many challenges. In addition to European brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, companies from the United States, Japan and South Korea have also been involved.

Among the beverage brands, Pepsi-Cola, which successfully won Yang Mo’s price advantage in 09, not only faced the challenge of the strongest rival Coca-Cola, but also Gatorade, the North American sports drink king trying to open up the Asian and European markets, also took a fancy to Yang Mo’s influence in Europe and Asia.

However, according to the opinion of the investment consultants of Mondial Sports Management Company, they feel that instead of endorsing a beverage brand, Yang Mo might as well find a partner and build a sports drink brand in China.

Because according to the analysis of those investment consultants, with the growth of China's economy, the convenient market prospect of sports drinks is extremely broad. With Yang Mo's influence in the country, the investment consultants are very optimistic about Yang Mo's development potential of self-employment.

Now, Yang Mo's team is helping him find a partner, but there will be no results for a while, so the endorsement still needs to be discussed.

In addition to the above-mentioned endorsements, Yang Mo has also successfully signed many endorsements.

He had cooperated with domestic insurance company Ping An before, but after the end of the endorsement, he chose to offer AIA with a higher price.
For three years, 4000 million euros, in order to win Yang Mo, AIA paid a lot of endorsement fees, more than 20 times the endorsement fees of Ping An Insurance two years ago.

As for another mobile phone endorsement, although he still chose a domestic mobile phone, the brand was changed from Lenovo to Huawei.

In order to snatch Yang Mo from Lenovo, Huawei offered Yang Mo an endorsement fee of 500 million euros for three years, setting the highest price for a domestic mobile phone endorsement in one fell swoop.

And these are just some of Yang Mo's many endorsements.

Although Mondial Sports Management Company helped Yang Mo repeatedly screen, but now Yang Mo has signed more than [-] endorsements.

This is not counting the several big contracts that are being negotiated. By the end of this year, not to mention the Chinese Forbes Celebrity List, Yang Mo may be at the top of the World Sports Athletes Earning List.

Although Yang Mo's performance in the club was not good last year, his flamboyant style of play is doomed to him not lacking in attention. Coupled with his special identity as a Chinese, many manufacturers will be very close to him.

In order to win over Yang Mo, the Buddha, from being snatched by those hungry wolves, Mondial Sports Management Company treated Yang Mo like a god, and the number of agent teams arranged for him increased again and again.

When the number of people in the negotiation period was the largest, the number of workers in Mondial Sports Management Company responsible for Yang Mo's business exceeded 100 people.

In fact, many people have persuaded Yang Mo to become independent and be responsible for his own professional operation.

But Yang Mo thought about it, not to mention the waste of energy if he did it himself, the cost is not much less than that of Mondial Sports Management Company.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have a reliable person to help him. It would be best if his sister graduated from college and could help him, but judging by his "longing for freedom" posture, it is obviously impossible to do these busy and trivial things.

Moreover, Yang Mo felt that he had already earned enough money, and his sister could just enjoy life, and there was no need to be as busy as him.

On August 8, Central European Time, during the truce of the Premier League, Yang Mo followed Mancini to Monaco by plane.

This afternoon, at the Monaco International Convention and Exhibition Center, the UEFA Champions League group stage draw group ceremony and UEFA awards ceremony will be held.

The draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage is a normal thing for other giant teams, even for those strong teams in the European League.

But the draw for the Champions League group stage is indeed something that is enough to make fans cry for Manchester City.

Manchester City is not a wealthy family. Counting the historical achievements, there is no honor worth showing off.

Looking back at history, the last time Manchester City entered the Champions League was in 1968.

Oh, by the way, the Champions League was not the Champions League at that time, it was also called the European Club Champions Cup at that time.

At that time, there was no Premier League in Britain, and the top league was called League One.

However, this ancient record is actually not very glorious, because Manchester City was eliminated in the first round of the European Club Champions Cup, and there is nothing worth remembering.

Now, with Mansour's capital injection, after two years of hard work, Manchester City finally rushed to the third place in the Premier League standings last season, and finally qualified for the Champions League again after 43 years.

43 years, what a terrifying number, the ardent expectation that generations of Blue Moon fans have been thinking about day and night, has finally been achieved today.

In various Manchester City fan bars in Manchester, although there is no game today, Manchester City fans actively gathered among them. They hope to see with their own eyes which team the team will be drawn into and which teams will become opponents.

Regardless of whether the final draw is good or bad, they will experience it with the team.

At [-]:[-] pm, outside the gate of the Monaco International Convention and Exhibition Center, Yang Mo and Mancini in suits and leather shoes got out of the car.

Although there is no red carpet laid outside the gate of the International Convention and Exhibition Center, reporters and fans have been waiting for a long time outside the two blue isolation belts.

The moment Yang Mo got out of the car, flashing lights, questions from reporters, and screams from fans rang out immediately.

As the organizer's staff had explained in advance, Yang Mo did not sign or accept an interview on the way into the venue. He just smiled and waved to both sides, and then walked into the venue with Mancini.

But Yang Mo didn't know that the scene of his appearance had already appeared in Yangma's five broadcasts at the same time.

Although Yang Ma did not win the broadcast rights of the Premier League this season, the broadcast rights of the UEFA Champions League belong to Yang Ma exclusively in China.

Therefore, although Yangma can't watch the Premier League this season, Yangma will still broadcast all of Yang Mo's Champions League matches.

This time the UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony and awards ceremony, Yang Ma will broadcast the whole process, and it will also be accompanied by Liu Jianhong, Duan Xuan, Zhang Lu, Tao Wei's super analysis lineup.

After all the players entered the venue, the two hosts, a man and a woman, first introduced the representatives of each team. After each introduction, the camera will focus on this person.

When it was Manchester City's turn, Yang Mo's close-up appeared in everyone's eyes. Sitting in front of him were Ronaldo and Messi.

And at this time, I don't know if UEFA deliberately arranged that when introducing the next team representative, it was Yang Mo's old owner Bayern.

Facing the close-up of the camera, Jaap Heynckes, who became the head coach of Bayern for the third time, had an unnatural expression.

Before the old coach intends to become the head coach of Bayern, he once suggested that Bayern keep Yang Mo at all costs. In Heynckes' view, Bayern with Yang Mo and Bayern without Yang Mo are completely two teams .

But Bayern did too many stupid things before, and finally failed to keep Yang Mo, which made Heynckes annoyed for a long time.

After the introduction, Barcelona captain Carles Puyol, as the representative of the champion, put the Big Ears Cup in the center of the stage.

After that, it is to play the wonderful pictures of last season's Champions League and the moment of winning the championship.

At this time, many people discovered that the gorgeous Yang Mo really took up a lot of scenes in this session, and he even stole a lot of the limelight from the champion Barcelona.

After all the preludes were over, the highlight of the ceremony came, which was the lottery ceremony.

In every UEFA Champions League, there will be a so-called group of death in the group stage, and this season is of course no exception.

Because Manchester City re-entered the Champions League after a lapse of 43 years, it was divided into the third tier by UEFA. This is definitely not good news for other teams.

The Abu Dhabi local tyrants have built a strong team in the past two years. This summer, they won the superstar Yang Mo with the world's first net worth. Therefore, no matter which group Manchester City is assigned to, which group will be the death group.

The famous star Figo was in charge of the draw for the first-tier teams. Under his drawing, all eight first-tier teams were selected.

They are Bayern in Group A, Inter Milan in Group B, Manchester United in Group C, Real Madrid in Group D, Chelsea in Group E, Arsenal in Group F, Porto in Group G and Barcelona in Group H.

After the first tier was drawn, Manchester United legend Bobby Charlton came on and the second tier was drawn.

Bobby Charlton stepped down, and the next step is the draw for the third tier of teams that makes all the teams participating in the Champions League the most nervous. To be precise, it should be that everyone does not want to hear Manchester City appear in their group.

The drawer of the third team is the famous Dutch star Luther Gullit.

Watching the black tulip, one of the former "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands", draw out one team after another, everyone is waiting for a name to appear, Manchester City.

Just after Gullit drew Ajax into Group D for the fourth time, he finally took out a note with Manchester City in the lottery ball, and then drew out the group where Manchester City is located, which is Group A!
wow——

When the Manchester City group came out, there was an uproar at the scene.

What surprised everyone was not that Group A became the group of death, but another coincidence.

Everyone knows that UEFA likes to make some gimmicks in the UEFA Champions League draw. Although there is no evidence, it seems that there are so few teams with "relationships" that will be in the same group every year. It is unbelievable.

Now, Manchester City, which has returned to the Champions League after 43 years, seems to have become one of UEFA's gimmicks.

Looking at the teams in Group A, the second tier comes from La Liga's yellow submarine Villarreal, not to mention, which team is the first tier?

It's Bayern!
This summer, Yang Mo broke up with Bayern executives, paid liquidated damages to leave Bayern, and finally joined Manchester City at a record price, which has already caused a lot of noise in world football.

How long has it been?Manchester City met Bayern in the Champions League group stage. This coincidence is too unbelievable.

It is estimated that after today's draw ceremony, the news of Yang Mo's reunion with his former owner in the Champions League is likely to blow up the media again.

But no matter how excited you are, you still have to finish the ceremony.

In the subsequent draw of the third team, when the legendary German star Lothar Matthaus drew Naples into Group A, everyone began to sympathize with Naples before the group stage started.

In the entire Group A, in the pinch between Bayern and Manchester City, it is estimated that other teams have little hope of advancing.

After the interesting draw, the next step is the awards ceremony.

At this year's UEFA Champions League Awards Ceremony, UEFA's newly established European Player of the Year Award will be awarded at the end. This award will be voted by 53 media representatives who came to the scene today.

Three candidates, Yang Mo, Ronaldo and Messi were invited by the host to come on stage.

Standing on the stage, Yang Mo and Ronaldo looked at each other with clear eyes.

Although the voting is in progress, both of them know that the best player in Europe this time will not be anyone but Messi.

Don't look at Yang Mo winning a Champions League Golden Boot, Ronaldo winning a European Golden Boot, but Messi has the blessing of Barcelona's Champions League and La Liga double crowns, so it is impossible not to lose the award.

In the end, UEFA President Platini took the stage and announced that the winner was Messi.

But when the votes of the winners were announced, what everyone didn't expect was that Messi won 53 votes out of 25 votes, while the No.2 Yang Mo actually won 19 votes, and Ronaldo won 9 votes .

Just looking at the votes, Messi did not win too much over Yang Mo.

Therefore, in the eyes of the reporters who voted on the spot, although Bayern lost all four players last season, in terms of single-round performance, Yang Mo is not much worse than Messi.
