Chapter 332 Dusk and Light

When the referee Busacca blew the final whistle, the game finally ended with Barcelona beating Liverpool 6-4.
When the half-time whistle sounded, the Barcelona players rejoiced. Eto'o took off his jersey excitedly and ran wildly. He had been waiting for this day for three years. The double joy of revenge and winning the championship made the Cheetahs as excited as if they had drunk alcohol. Puyol, who was off the field due to injury, was also applauding with the help of the team doctor. As long as his body allowed, he still hoped that he could lift the Big Ears Cup with his own hands, while other Barcelona players were even more excited to revel!
As for Arsenal, Ramsey fell to the ground and cried bitterly, Bale and Walcott also fell to the ground in tears, and the other players were crying non-stop. In the crowd, only Li Yuxin stood there alone. At this time, a reporter took a picture of this scene: everyone will remember the classic commentary of this photo in the future: "Others can fall, but he can't, just because he is the captain of Arsenal!"

Although Li Yuxin wanted to cry, he held back his tears. At this moment, many thoughts came to his mind: he still failed, and he had already lost in the Champions League final twice in a row. The current Arsenal is stronger than his previous life, and there is no Wu Guan for eight years.
At this time, after the celebration, Xavi came to Arsenal. He and Li Yuxin were old acquaintances, and they had a good relationship in private. He went over to shake hands with Li Yuxin, and exchanged jerseys and captain's armbands. Eto'o, who had conflicts in the past, also came to shake hands with Li Yuxin. For this opponent, the proud Cheetah is also convinced. Anyway, he has won, and he can let go of his hatred!

In the stands, the Barcelona fans were already shouting excitedly, while the Arsenal fans fell silent.
At the final award presentation, even Platini, whom Li Yuxin hated all the time, comforted him when he hung the runner-up medal: "Li, your performance is great!"

It can be said that this season does not belong to Arsenal, and in the following season, Arsenal only defended the League Cup, which is better than nothing!With the rise of Ancelotti's Chelsea and Mancini's powerful Manchester City, today's Arsenal is like a big departure in history. After Fafa, Nasri and Clichy, six players left one after another. In the World Cup, Li Yuxin won the third place with England and became the pride of England. His statement to stay also moved Arsenal fans very much.
In a blink of an eye, it came to the 10-11 season, and now Arsenal is already weak,
The trip to China made the Arsenal executives almost smile.After the two games, the appearance fee alone was nearly 400 million euros.In addition to some other commercial sponsorship activities and the sale of player portrait rights, Arsenal also received more than 200 million euros.

Of course, in addition to these, the Arsenal Club also did a lot of souvenir sales for this trip to China.These souvenirs are not expensive, ranging from a few dollars to tens of dollars.It's all about Arsenal.

Sales are very good.

This piece of income basically belongs to Arsenal itself, because these are done by the Arsenal club itself.Chinese fans are very supportive, especially in Beijing and Guangzhou where Arsenal are playing.It was even more popular.Souvenirs of this little thing sold more than [-] pieces.It also brought Arsenal nearly one million euros in revenue.

But these are not big heads.

The big head is jersey sales.Originally, the sales volume of Arsenal's jerseys in China was not very high, it should be said that there were hardly many.Last year, the sales volume of Arsenal's genuine jerseys in China was only a few thousand, and did not exceed [-].

It's not just Arsenal.This is the case with other European giants.Including Real Madrid, which sells the best jerseys, the sales volume of their genuine jerseys in China is only [-] to [-].

Including Manchester United, Barcelona and other giants with better jersey sales, their jersey sales in China are also difficult to break through [-] pieces a year.

But since Li Yuxin joined.There has been a blowout in sales of Arsenal's genuine jerseys.

Needless to say everyone else.

Li Yuxin alone sold 30 jerseys within ten days.Such achievements are not only dumbfounding.Almost costing the well-informed Nike rep.Nike has sponsored so many rich clubs and had so many top superstars under their hands, but no one has created such an amazing jersey sales.

Nike is currently the most powerful top superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, and his jersey sales in the world are 100 million a year.This kind of sales volume is already unprecedented.

Cristiano Ronaldo's jersey sales alone almost exploded most of the giants in European football.

Except for Manchester United and Barcelona whose jerseys have exceeded 100 million pieces, none of the other European football giants has sold more than one million pieces of jerseys.Like Arsenal's jersey sales, even less.

But Li Yuxin is called fierce.

Within ten days, sales in mainland China reached 30 pieces.This is not 30, [-], but [-].Because Arsenal attaches great importance to the Chinese market this time, Li Yuxin's No. [-] jersey is the first to be sold in China.

It has not yet started selling in other markets.

However, the profits brought by the Chinese market alone have left Nike and Arsenal dumbfounded.Especially for Arsenal, the share of this part of the jersey revenue alone has millions of pounds in revenue, and Nike also has tens of millions of euros.

Moreover, under the influence of Li Yuxin's joining Arsenal, the genuine jerseys of other Arsenal players have also begun to show a huge upward trend.

It's all about money.

Of course the good news doesn't end there.

Huawei, which is steadily advancing its European strategy, has taken a fancy to Arsenal and wants to sponsor Arsenal.Although the amount of sponsorship is not very large, there are also sponsorships of 500 million pounds.

After Li Yuxin joined Arsenal, the economic effect began to show slowly.

Still others want to push into international markets.Moreover, many top Chinese merchants who also want to consolidate the domestic market have begun to contact Arsenal.

Arsenal is not Schalke.

Arsenal itself is a hugely influential Premier League giant, and it is a Premier League powerhouse with a very large number of fans.Coupled with the addition of Li Yuxin to join now, many giant companies in China have begun to tentatively contact Arsenal.

This made Gazidisle crazy.

Twenty-three million euros?
What is this transfer fee?Arsenal could easily make that money back.

And Arsenal have been talking with Nike about renewing their contracts.Nike is the main sponsor of Arsenal. In order to build a new stadium, Arsenal could only sign a long sponsorship contract with Nike, and then received money from them in advance.

But what seemed like a high sponsorship contract at the time turned out to be too low after so many years.In the Premier League, there are many teams whose jersey sponsors have more sponsorship than Arsenal, and even many giants are several times that of Arsenal.

So Arsenal are very dissatisfied.

Arsenal want to change this sponsorship deal with Nike.

But Nike has always disagreed.The main reason is that Nike has not been optimistic about Arsenal.After so many years.Arsenal's performance is too poor, and Arsenal's influence in Nike's view is not as good as before.

Therefore, Nike has been reluctant to increase the sponsorship fee, and even after completing this cooperation, it has to consider whether to continue to cooperate with Arsenal.

The two sides are deadlocked here, and Arsenal's top management can only find other sponsors.Anyway, the sponsors of world football are not only Nike, but also Adidas and Puma.

But this trip to China gave Nike a big surprise.

Seeing Arsenal's jersey sales, can't help but surprise Nike.Manchester United sponsored by Nike.Their annual jersey sales in China are also pitifully small, exceeding [-] pieces a year.

But looking at the current situation of Arsenal, it is estimated that they can sell at least 50 jerseys in the Chinese market a year.If the current momentum continues.It is not impossible for Arsenal to sell a million shirts in China.As long as Li Yuxin exists, none of this is impossible.Thinking about it this way, Nike couldn't help re-examining Arsenal, which he despised.

It also made Nike executives reconsider the sponsorship contract with Arsenal.

Arsenal's trip to China has brought countless benefits to Arsenal's top management.With tens of millions of euros in his pocket, he left mainland China.

After finishing the game in Guangzhou, Arsenal came to Hong Kong.

This is the third leg of Arsenal's Asia tour.Also the last stop.Hong Kong is regarded as the first region in China to contact the Premier League.Of course, this is due to historical reasons. Hong Kong used to belong to the English-speaking area.Therefore, when the Premier League was broadcast live overseas, Hong Kong was one of the first regions to broadcast live.

So most of Hong Kong are Premier League fans.

Arsenal played a game against the Hong Kong Stars here.

The strength is very poor.

The strength of the Hong Kong star team is slightly stronger than some amateur teams.It's not even comparable to the Chinese Super League teams. Maybe the strong teams in the Chinese Premier League are better than them.Not to mention the main players of Arsenal, even compared with the players of the Arsenal youth team, they are not opponents.

Arsenal ended the game comfortably [-]-[-] in Hong Kong.

Anyway, it was a commercial game, and Arsenal didn't chase after it.It's about as good as it gets.

Li Yuxin played again in the second half and scored a goal.Compared with the cheers received in China, Hong Kong can only be said to be so-so.This time in the three games of the Asian tour, Li Yuxin scored three goals.

Hong Kong has strong spending power, so it is a good opportunity for Arsenal to make money.Arsenal took away another 300 million euros in Hong Kong.

In three games, Arsenal took away a total of about 400 million euros.This kind of misappropriation was something that neither Real Madrid nor Manchester United were able to do recently.For Arsenal, it was an amazing income.Arsenal, which has returned with a full load, has also begun to replenish blood after losing blood, but the news cannot be made public now. After all, although Arsenal is slowly getting out of the crisis, the economy is still a bit poor, but it will not work without signings!
After the trip to China, back to Kearney for training, Arsenal has already become a young player, and the morale is relatively low. Fortunately, Bell and Walcott stayed. Because of Li Yuxin’s statement, this little monkey was still very excited and boosted morale during training. He knew that he was also an old man of this Arsenal team, and he must have the demeanor of his predecessors!

At this moment, Wenger on the sidelines also had a serious face, but if that deal can be successful, Arsenal can still have a fighting power next season.

"What, Buffon, is it really possible?" Li Yuxin got the shocking news during the conversation with Mendes after the training session. Arsenal actually wanted to introduce Buffon. At this moment, he remembered: there was indeed news in the previous life that Arsenal wanted to waive Buffon but failed, so he expressed serious doubts about this matter.

But Mendes said: "Lee, Buffon is suffering from serious injuries and his condition is unstable. Although he is still one of the top goalkeepers in the world, he is 33 years old after all, and he needs a higher salary to plan for the future! Arsenal executives are now willing to abolish the 30-year-old one-sign policy. After all, the current economy has come out of crisis!
Then I need to do something next!
