Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

After a day of extra training, Martin drove back to his apartment.

"gogogo, ale, ale, ale..."

Just as I was about to take a shower, the cell phone on the coffee table rang.

I looked over and saw that it was the agent Mendes calling.

He thought about this and still called me, so he probably had something serious to do.

He sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, swiped his fingers on the phone screen, clicked on the speaker, and said hello: "Hey, good evening, Uncle Jorge."

"Hey, good evening Martin."

Mendes' familiar thick voice came from the loudspeaker. He didn't say any extravagant words and just got straight to the point as usual: "Your outstanding performance on the football field has attracted many brand merchants. Now there are several sports goods manufacturers who are more sincere. I want to Let me hear your opinion."

"Sporting goods manufacturer?"

Martin murmured softly, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but get excited: "Which ones are they?"

By becoming a player signed by a sports brand manufacturer, you no longer have to spend money to buy future sports brands, and you will also get a large amount of brand endorsement fees.

Beautiful!

"Wolfsburg sporting goods sponsor Kappa, the world's leading sports brand manufacturers Adidas, Nike and Puma, the generally influential Mizuno, Calmy, and, by the way, Li Ning of Dragon Kingdom."

Mendes smiled and said: "How about it? Do you have any favorite sports brands?"

Martin shrugged: "You are a professional in this area. If you call me now, you should have a detailed analysis, right?"

"You little fox, you have guessed all this."

"It's necessary, and it doesn't matter who I am."

Mendes smiled and immediately got into work, telling Martin about his team's analysis.

"If you want influence, Adidas and Nike are the best choices, but I think your future is comparable to two prides, so I don't recommend these two brands. Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi are the two brands in front of you. A big mountain.”

"Puma is a good choice. Its influence as a sports brand is second only to Adidas and Nike, and it has abundant promotional resources. However, it seems that they are not particularly optimistic about your career prospects and have reservations, and the brand endorsement fee they pay is not high."

"Currently the highest committed brand endorsement fees are Mizuno and Li-Ning. The former has a great historical hatred with your country, so it is placed as the last option. Li-Ning has a much smaller influence in the international sports market. Kappa and Calme Europe’s influence is declining and its market share is shrinking, but its international reputation is still there, and it also promises to provide the number one promotional resources that other brands cannot give.”

Mendes said it all in one go: "How was it?"

"Uncle Jorge, do you call this analysis? Can you make some biased recommendations?"

Martin sounded confused and felt that it was hard to choose.

"Then I'll be more direct?"

"It's necessary~"

"Puma and Calmy."

"What?"

"Puma can take your career to the next level in a short period of time. Puma's current number one contract player in football is Sergio Aguero. The sponsorship fee is small, but you have great potential. I am very optimistic about your career prospects." , you can control the contract period in the early stage, wait until the price is reached, and then negotiate, and strive for the same resources as Aguero."

Mendes said: "As for Calme, I personally feel that the potential sincerity is the greatest, and there is even some room for negotiation. In addition to the top promotion commitment, it was also mentioned that after signing the contract, a large amount of money will be invested in the development of a sneaker that is exclusive to you."

Martin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Choose one of the two?"

"Yes."

After a short period of thinking, Martin felt that he still had to be cautious in his choice, so he smiled and said: "Why don't you wait until the end of this season to decide? I can just use this time to perform well in the professional arena, and then I will comprehensively evaluate which company to sign." Aren’t sports brand manufacturers better?”

"Too."

Mendes said seriously: "Are there any other merchants who are interested in signing endorsement and sponsorship contracts with you? Are you interested in hearing about it?"

"of course."

Immediately, Mendes mentioned some products that are common in daily life.

Pepsi-Cola, Lay's Potato Chips, Gatorade, Warwick Mobile, Yili, Nescafe, Baker's Beer, etc.

There is even a Dragon Kingdom company called Celebrity...

The two chatted about business for about half an hour, and then about their future careers.

In the second half of the 2014-2015 season, many wealthy clubs began to plan early for signings for the 2015-2016 season, so they contacted Mendes in advance to test the tone.

In this regard, Martin feels that we should wait until the end of this season.

Now he just wants to devote himself wholeheartedly to competing for honors this season!

……

Wolfsburg returned to the training center to prepare for the second leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals on Thursday. The team continued the good form against Bayern last weekend and gave the Black and Gold coaching team great hope for further progress.

The team is now fighting on three fronts, and is only one point away from Bayern in the league. Considering that Bayern, which is also fighting on three fronts in the Champions League, is more difficult and will put more energy into it, the possibility of the team reversing the points is very high.

However, the team's overall strength is insufficient, and the key bench depth cannot be compared.

It is unrealistic to use all the strength in the three-line battle, and when the time comes, appropriate sacrifices will definitely have to be made.

However, giving up too early is not conducive to team unity. What he can do is to try his best to ensure that the team can make breakthroughs in other combat areas while ensuring the bottom line.

Heijing is determined to become a top coach, and he must have something in mind.

On the two midweek match days, the first leg of the four Champions League 1/8 finals was played.

On Tuesday night, Manchester City lost 1:2 at home to Barcelona and Juventus defeated Borussia Dortmund 2:1.

The next day, Liverpool, which was a guest at the Volkswagen Arena, took a flight to Hannover, and then took a bus to Wolfsburg.

The two teams have no grievances at the historical level, and the fans of both sides who are active on social media are also very friendly. In addition, the famous football hooligan on the list was refused entry, so there was no disharmony.

Adapting to the match venue in advance, Liverpool head coach Rodgers attended the regular pre-match press conference to express his full confidence that he has a high possibility of winning the game away from home.

Later, there was a regular press conference for the home team. Heijing, who was present, was very low-key in the interview, saying that the final result of the game would be based on the players' immediate performance in the game, and the quick words before the game could not affect the final game.

That night, it was Champions League game time.

Bayer Leverkusen, a team from the Bundesliga, defeated Atletico Madrid 1:0 at home to gain an advantage in the two-round knockout round.

Another upset in the knockout round, Arsenal lost 1:3 at home to Monaco.

After two match days of the Champions League knockout rounds, the media’s attention shifted to the Europa League.

However, compared with the level of attention received by the Champions League, the Europa League is completely incomparable, which means that except for non-home team fans, few will pay attention to the progress of the game.

But the focus of Wolfsburg's home game against Liverpool has received a lot of attention.

First of all, Wolfsburg's overall performance this season is very good. In the just-concluded Bundesliga peak match, they defeated the southern king Bayern Munich 4:1 at home.
