The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 77 Endorsement
  Since the beginning of the new season, Inter Milan led by Mourinho has won all other games except for a draw with Sampdoria in the first round of the league.

The Nerazzurri have won nine consecutive victories in Serie A and the Champions League!
  In just three months, Mourinho has already won the respect of all Inter Milan players with his excellent technical and tactical standards, decisive and professional on-the-spot command and his unique personal charm.

Other teams are eager to see in whose hands Inter Milan's winning streak will end.

In the eighth round of Serie A on October 10, Inter Milan faced Genoa at home.

Leo, who had maintained full attendance since the start of the season, was a little tired, so Mourinho decided to give him a rest.

So in this game, the madman did not believe in evil and resorted to 433. Mancini and Figo got the chance to start.

The result is as you can imagine, the Nerazzurri were tied 0-0 by Genoa at Meazza.

This not only ended their nine-game winning streak, but also ended the Nerazzurri's history of scoring in 60 consecutive Serie A home games.

This result is surprising, but Gasperini's team is indeed a bit confusing.

They can beat AC Milan 2-0 at home, beat Roma 3-1, and lose to Catania and Palermo away from home.

After the draw with Genoa, Mourinho rarely looked very annoyed. In an interview, he said that some players did not listen to instructions on the court and hinted that these players would be abandoned in the next round.

During Monday morning's training, while other players were allowed to leave the Gentile training center at lunchtime, only Adriano, Cruz and Obinna were left to continue training.

This seems to indicate that they are the "disobedient" players Mourinho calls them.

He didn't have Mourinho's trust in the first place. He finally got a chance to play in the rotation but still performed poorly.

It is not surprising that these few people caused dissatisfaction among the Portuguese.

"Let them go. I don't want to see these people again after the winter window."

"I will not interfere in the relationship between you and the players, and the club will not interfere in it.

If you insist they leave, we will start work before the transfer window opens.

However, I would like to remind you that, regardless of whether you can successfully sell them, you will have to find a way by yourself when there are not enough people in these positions.

We have no plans to make any signings in the winter window. "

After some communication, Moratti calmed Mourinho's emotions.

And these things have nothing to do with Leo, he also has his own headaches.

As Leo's performance became more and more outstanding, the brands who wanted to be endorsed by him, who had been ignored by his agent, became anxious.

"Why do these sports brands take ten years to sign a contract?"

Leo doesn't quite understand why the contracts offered by Nike and Adidas are so long.

Aren't you afraid that he will play well for one or two years and then fail?
  “They are all optimistic about your development prospects.

And once you sign a contract, you are bound to them, and they will cooperate with you in investing a lot of energy and money in publicity.

If you sign a short-term contract, it has just helped you make a name for yourself around the world, and if you turn around and sign with the other party, everything in front of you will be in vain.

So these brands are used to tying their spokespersons to long-term contracts.

They are just spending some money. "

"Do you have any suggestions, Mino?"

“Adidas and Nike are competing for the market, and the contracts they offer are pretty good.

I think either one is fine. I will help you negotiate with whichever one you prefer. "

The ball was kicked back to Leo's side. This was the first time he encountered this kind of problem, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.

Seeing that Leo was in a tangle, Raiola did not urge him and just continued to introduce the situation.

“Your goal is top stars, so my suggestion is not to consider brands like Umbro, Puma and Italian Capa.

Even if they are willing to give a higher endorsement fee, it will soon not match your identity.

Choosing an endorsement is like getting married. It is best not to change jobs easily, so choosing one of Adidas and Nike from the beginning is the best choice. "

Leo nodded. Raiola was considering it from his professional point of view, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But his thoughts are a little different. It's not that he would rather be a chicken than a phoenix. For some reason, Leo just doesn't have a good impression of Nike and Adidas.     “Which company gives the highest payment?”

Raiola glanced at Leo suspiciously, this was different from his usual self.

“Puma knew they were slightly inferior in terms of brand power, so they offered a very generous price.

The current quotation is two million euros per year, which is 20 million euros in ten years.

This is already beyond your current worth level.

Of course, it also shows their sincerity. If you really choose Puma, I can further communicate with them. "

Let alone now, this price will not be low even in ten years.

Especially for a player like Leo who is not yet a world-renowned top star.

Leo didn't hesitate much. He simply felt that he couldn't live up to Puma's sincerity.

"Then it's up to them. It would be best if they could sign for two less years."

Raiola nodded indifferently. Anyway, he could get more money by signing with Puma. Since Leo had decided, he had no objection.

"Okay, that's it. There are several men's clothing brands that want to be endorsed by you. Here is the information. Take a look."

The most important and important sneaker endorsement has been confirmed, but Leo actually doesn't pay much attention to other things.

After flipping through it casually, Leo curled his lips and was not satisfied.

"There are no big names here."

The implication was that he didn't like it, so Lapang smiled and took back a thick stack of information.

"Hahaha, I know that with your current 'coffee status', only these second- and third-tier brands are coming to you for the time being.

If you don't like it, then push it all away. I'll help you negotiate with me when a high-end person likes you!
  But that depends on your performance. "

Lapang thought for a while and pulled out some other information.

"Then there is only some small money left. I suggest you take all of these."

"Kinder Funny Egg, Alfa Romeo..."

Kinder Fun Eggs are a well-known children's product in Italy. Their main focus is that they are delicious and fun.

If you go to any supermarket in Italy, you will definitely see Kinder Eggs on the shelf next to the checkout counter.

Kinder Fun Eggs are just a product of Kinder, a sub-brand of the famous Italian chocolate brand Ferrero.

Alfa Romeo is a relatively niche car brand owned by Fiat.

"Am I having sex with Turin?!"

Fiat and Ferrero were both born in Piedmont, the industrial center of northern Italy, and Leo will soon go to Turin to officially sign a contract with them.

With your consent, Puma's contract was quickly reached. The annual endorsement fee of two million yuan remained unchanged, but the contract period was actually discussed by Raiola for eight years.

This way, when the contract expires, it will be very convenient whether you sign a new contract with a larger amount or switch to another brand.

In addition, Puma also intends to produce a customized sneaker co-branded with Leo, but this matter needs to be discussed in detail and will be discussed later.

With seven, seven, eight and eight signings, Leo earned a few million more euros a year.

I have to say that money comes really easily once you become famous.

Of course, if one day his performance is not as good as expected, these brands that are now enthusiastic about sending money will turn around and leave without mercy.

"You should get your driver's license as soon as possible. Alfa Romeo is going to give you a car, and you can usually drive it to training.

Then during the winter break, you have to take time to fulfill the contract. Shooting commercials and commercial activities is quite interesting, haha. "

"Okay, I get it now."

Leo will be eighteen years old on the 18th of next month, so it's a trivial matter to get a driver's license or something.
