Start from 1999

Chapter 169 Emergency Summons

After visiting the club's hardware facilities, Nick checked the club's financial situation.

The club's finances are in order and the management is very good.

Ye Tianlong did a good job in developing the market for the Xichuan 1999 team. The club's advertising revenue reached 3000 million yuan this season, and the chest advertisement was sold to a beer company in Sichuan, earning 1000 million yuan.This was already a good income in 2000 when the economy was underdeveloped. Don't forget that this is just a chest advertisement and does not include the naming rights. The naming rights of the Xichuan 1999 team are not for sale.

However, the Xichuan 1999 team is now doing well, and the beer company has also benefited a lot. It is said that they have already occupied more than 60% of Xichuan's beer sales market.

On-site advertising revenue, ticket revenue, jersey sales revenue, Xichuan 1999 street culture and entertainment revenue, player transaction revenue, etc. have generated a lot of revenue for the club.

It would be even better if the TV broadcasting of the Chinese league could be in line with that of Europe. It would definitely be a big piece of cake for such a large economy to be fully market-oriented.

It's a pity that with the current status quo, there is still a long way to go to reach that step.

The personnel management of the club is excellent. As a football club, the personnel department is very important. It not only manages internally, but also communicates externally. In China, a society of human relations, everyone understands it.

Yang Jiaojiao has become Nick's woman, and she works even harder, capable and humane, with good eloquence, not only manages the club's internal management in an orderly manner, but also has a good reputation in the entire Chinese football world.

No, this girl is sitting in Nick's arms and acting like a baby.

"Husband, look at me for managing the club so well, what reward will you give me?"

"A-Jiao, what reward do you want? How about I take you on a trip to the United States?" Nick said dotingly. Nick still likes this woman who silently dedicated herself to herself. Since she will not participate in the European Cup, Nick will definitely relax this summer.

There is another major event this season that Nick loves, and that is the US NBA Finals. In his previous life, Nick usually never lost every game.

Yang Jiaojiao ruthlessly kissed Nick on the lips, whether to travel abroad or to the United States, Yang Jiaojiao's heart was overwhelmed with joy.

Nick was going to watch the NBA Finals, and Bai Jie took Jenny to stay in Chuandu, which was convenient for Yang Jiaojiao.

Before going to the United States, Nick watched the Xichuan 1999 team's away game against Diannanhong.

Although Matthaus was absent, the Xichuan 1999 team still made a strong attack and beat Diannanhong in the away game without any power to fight back.

Veteran Polster still poses a great threat in the opponent's penalty area, and Wenhoff's offensive and defensive capabilities are balanced, allowing Ma Ming to organize offenses in the frontcourt without any scruples.

In the end, Polster and Zhang Ning each scored a goal to help the team beat the South Yunnan Red Team in an away game.

The Xichuan 1999 team won 13 consecutive victories this season.

After watching the game, Nick and Yang Jiaojiao left by plane.

On June 6, at the Staples Center, the first game of the 8-99 season NBA Finals started here. The two sides were the Los Angeles Lakers and the Indiana Pacers.

Nick and Yang Jiaojiao were sitting in the front row of the stands wearing big sunglasses. Nick was also wearing Kobe's No. 24 jersey. As a Kobe fan, Nick admired Kobe very much, but now Kobe is still in the shadow of the big fat man.

Since this is the first time the Lakers have returned to the Finals since the 90-91 season, the Lakers fans in the stands were quite excited.

When the Lakers players entered the arena, under the sensational DJ on the scene, deafening cheers erupted in the Spoutes Center, especially when the big fat man entered the arena.

Nick's eyes stayed on Kobe. When Kobe walked in front of him, Nick suddenly got up and shouted: "Hey, Bryant, I'm optimistic about you, vote for the damn Pacers!"

Kobe glanced back at Nick, and smiled kindly at Nick. From Nick's English, Kobe could tell that he was not an American.

"Hey, thank you!" Kobe actually said to Nick.

After the start of the game, Kobe Bryant scored 6 points on 6-of-16 shooting, forcing Pacers coach Larry Bird to call 1 timeouts within 3 minute.

And without scoring one, Nick would stand up and applaud Kobe, and Kobe also had a good impression of the blond fan. After helping the Lakers lead 22:8, Kobe came to the sidelines and gave Nick a high-five.

"Hey, Bryant, you played so beautifully. Continue to strengthen your breakthrough. However, the Pacers will definitely double-team you next time. It's time to improve your assist data."

Nick's words sounded almost like a professional basketball person, which surprised Kobe a little.

"Hey, man, are you German? As far as I know, German football seems to be better than basketball." Bryant tried to ask.

"Haha, that's right, I'm Nick Hansen from the Bundesliga team Borussia Mönchengladbach, but I'm your fan." Nick simply introduced himself.

"Nick Hansen? Is that the youngest captain who single-handedly helped the team avoid relegation and enter the Champions League?" Kobe asked curiously.

"Oh? Bryant has heard of me too?" Nick didn't expect that his name would even be spread over the football wasteland of the United States, which was surprising.

Kobe smiled and said: "Nick, it seems that we are all going to work hard. I will work hard for my first championship ring, and you also have to work hard for your first league championship. Come on!"

Kobe then proved his determination with actions. He made 24 of 17 shots in the game, including 3 of 8 8-pointers and 10 free throws. He scored 52 points in the game, and also sent 11 assists to his teammates, 10 rebounds, 5 steals and 5 blocks. Such comprehensive statistics are amazing.But when Kobe was going to get together with Nick after the game, he found out that Nick had already left.

Nick didn't finish watching the game. In the middle of the game, he received a call from national team coach Ribeck.

"Nick, where are you?" Libeck's tone was a little anxious.

"What's the matter? Coach." Nick was still a little angry with Libeck, so naturally he wouldn't give Libeck a good look at this moment.

Riebeck smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Nick, something happened to the team. Now the national team needs you. I hope you can arrive in Liege immediately."

"An accident? What's the matter?" Nick asked intentionally, as if he was intentionally torturing Rebeck.

"Hey, Nick, the team's injuries are serious, and I don't even have a real midfielder now. So, Nick, please put the national honor first and rush to Liege as soon as possible." Riebeck's words were full of helplessness. The German national team was indeed troubled by serious injuries.

Veteran Matthaeus stretched his right leg after only one day of training with the team. LaMelo both injured his ankles in a confrontation with Jeremiah on the second day. On the third day, Ballack and Nowotny were also injured. Riebeck was almost in fear every day, for fear of hearing who was injured again.

With the reality in front of us, Riebeck had to recruit Nick into the team urgently. Although Nick could not play in the first two group matches, Riebeck hoped that the team could last until the third game. As long as there is still a chance to qualify, Nick's role can be reflected.

Nick thought to himself that Riebeck really took off his pants and farted-it was unnecessary, if he had known this, he should have put himself on the 22-man list early in the morning.

"Okay, coach, I'll come over right away." In the end, Nick agreed to Riebeck's request. Nick was naturally very happy to be able to perform in such a top-level football event as the European Cup. Nick's only worry now is whether the team can hold on in the first two games. You must know that in this European Cup in history, the German team was defeated in the group stage.

After breaking up with Yang Jiaojiao at the airport, Nick got on the plane to Belgium, and his first World Series began.
