Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 336 The Embarrassment of Poaching

Zhang Yang finished his work at the club, and the holidays followed, but the beginning of the holidays came with busyness.

The commercialization process of European professional football is complete, and Zhang Yang has great commercialization potential.

First of all, Zhang Yang is a celebrity.

From last year to the present, Zhang Yang has become a famous person on Weibo and football commentator, coupled with the achievements of leading the Millwall team, he has a great reputation in the UK alone.

Zhang Yang is also very famous in China.

As long as fans who care about Chinese football know that China has a young coach who has led the team to success in the Premier League.

In addition, Zhang Yang's age also determines his commercial potential.

Most football coaches are middle-aged people over 23 or [-]. Zhang Yang is different. He is only [-] years old. At this age, ordinary stars have not yet reached their peak, but he is already in football. The success of the coaching industry has also pushed his reputation and support to a higher level.

Seeing Zhang Yang's potential, many companies contacted Andy for business cooperation.

As a public figure, Zhang Yang's commercial potential is also in contrast. He is far better than the average coach, but compared with Mourinho and Ferguson, he is definitely worse.

He is short of the Champions League.

There is a rule in European professional football, which is privately recognized by everyone: whether you are a world-class coach depends on whether you have won the Champions League.

This is a very important evaluation criterion.

Zhang Yang's rise is fast and he is very famous, but without the Champions League, there are still many fans who don't recognize him. It's okay in the UK, but in Italy, France, and Germany, the fans' recognition for him is relatively small.

Therefore, Zhang Yang's commercial potential is still relatively poor in Europe, but in China, other comparable head coaches cannot be compared at all.

Andy negotiated two commercial endorsements.

The first is a Swiss luxury watch company. They intend to let Zhang Yang endorse a young sports brand watch. Zhang Yang needs to shoot a short advertisement for the other party, and a set of model-style brand promotion pictures, because they only endorse a watch. , the endorsement fee is a buyout-style 35 euros.

Zhang Yang worked as a model for this luxury watch company all day long. He was still exhausted by posing various poses, imitating movements, etc. in the venue, but he was well received by the photographers and advertising directors, "You A natural model! A natural actor!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yang smiled and expressed his thanks.

In the process of filming commercials and photos, Zhang Yang’s performance was very high and excellent. It was almost as if the model made a movement, and he followed suit with a similar movement. The advertisement passed only three times. One was real shooting, and the other was insufficient preparation by the staff.

The reason why Zhang Yang can perform so well is very simple. He has the learning module ability of "body memory imitation". He can do whatever he wants, and the ability to use can be completely imitated.

Resting in the morning on the second day, I went to participate in a local car exhibition in the afternoon. Zhang Yang also acted as an "off-road god": standing in front of an off-road vehicle, holding a leaflet and handing it out to the passing audience, It is Zhang Yang's main job.

Of course, his picture was hung next to the car.

Zhang Yang became the spokesperson of this local car, and the annual endorsement fee was 70 pounds. The initial contract was two years, and the cost was actually not too much. What he liked was that it didn't need to consume too much energy.

When the two parties signed the contract, they negotiated that the car company could use the portraits and advertisements shot by Zhang Yang for publicity, and Zhang Yang only needs to shoot one advertisement and participate in one auto show every year, which is almost equivalent to working for the company for a day, in other words, working for an afternoon , can have an income of 70 pounds, which is higher than his annual salary, which is definitely worth it.

After working as a "cross-country male god" for an afternoon, the work was finally completed. Zhang Yang quickly earned nearly one million pounds, and nearly 60 pounds after deducting taxes and brokerage fees.

This income made Zhang Yang very happy.

But the busy work is not over yet, that night, Zhang Yang flew to Paris, France, the capital of fashion has become the capital of football, the UEFA Champions League final, the match between Barcelona and Arsenal, will be held at the Stade de France in Paris soon held.

Zhang Yang was once again invited by BBC TV to be the guest commentator for the UEFA Champions League final.

This game is very interesting.

Barcelona is one of the most successful teams in history, but their luck is not very good. They have participated in four finals and only won one Champions League trophy. This is their fifth final.

Arsenal reached the final for the first time.

If in the European arena, the two teams are well-known giants, but in the Champions League final match, the two teams are still young, so it is still hard to say what kind of sparks they will meet.

The view of the outside media is '[-]-[-]'.

Barcelona's performance is very strong. After qualifying in the group stage, they knocked out Chelsea, Benfica and AC Milan respectively; Arsenal's opponents also have Real Madrid and Juventus, and Villarreal can't be said to be weak. Team.

Zhang Yang's opinion...

Anyway, the memory of the previous life only knows that Arsenal did not win the Champions League. If the historical process does not change, Barcelona will still win the championship.

Zhang Yang didn't bother to think about it so much. It wasn't Millwall who participated in the Champions League final. He came to Paris and checked into a hotel. He lay on the bed and slept until nine o'clock the next morning. Then he got up and had breakfast. By the way The working arrangement of BBC Television.

The game was held at [-]:[-] p.m., and it was almost two hours early. During free time in the afternoon, Zhang Yang and Andy went to the Eiffel Tower for a tour, browsed the landmarks of Paris, and walked around the surrounding neighborhoods.

In a commercial street, Zhang Yang was looking left and right when he noticed a black man approaching from the opposite side. He was just over 1.8 meters tall, wearing a green sports cap and a blue blouse, looking very low-key.

Passers-by next to him would definitely not pay attention to a person dressed so low-key, but the green hat was really eye-catching, Zhang Yang glanced at it several times in a row, and turned his head when he realized that it was impolite, but then looked over abruptly, "Galas?"

Andy was taken aback.

The black man in the green hat was walking by, and stopped when he heard the shout, and turned his head to look at Zhang Yang, who was covered by the brim of the black hat, "Are you...?"

Zhang Yang took off his hat.

"Zhang? The head coach of Millwall, Zhang, yes, I should not admit my mistake!" William Gallas tried to make himself more sure.

Zhang Yang asked, "Hi, I'm a little surprised to see you here. What are you here for? Why are you alone?"

Gallas said, "Come and see the Champions League final."

"Are you also interested in the competition? Not going to training?" Zhang Yang asked strangely, "I mean the French national team. You should be a member of the national team."

"Today is a holiday, and we haven't officially assembled yet."

The leagues of various countries have just ended, the Champions League final has not yet been completed, and the French national team has not gathered for training. Zhang Yang can understand it, but Gallas is going to watch the final between Arsenal and Barcelona?

No matter how I think about it, I feel awkward!

Zhang Yang asked suspiciously, "Are you really going to the finals? And...alone? Sorry, I'm just a little curious, because I feel very strange." He said that he simply walked back with Gallas, anyway, he came to the commercial district Also just to pass the time.

Gallas is not disgusted. In fact, he also wants to say a few words to Zhang Yang, because Zhang Yang is the head coach of Millwall. Millwall is the double champion of the league and the FA Cup. Chelsea has many players who often Talking about Millwall and Zhang Yang, in the face of Zhang Yang's question, Gallas thought about it, and then said calmly, "Actually, I have to wait for the game to end."

"Oh?" Zhang Yang became more interested.

"Mr. Wenger wants to talk to me." Gallas said frankly, these words must not be said to reporters, but it is nothing to say to a well-known head coach, and the other party is unlikely to tell reporters.

Even if it is really known by reporters, it is still nothing. Before he refused to renew his contract with Chelsea, many media have reported that he will leave the team, saying that he may go to Juventus and AC Milan. Some news is true Yes, some news is false, but Gallas hopes to leave Chelsea and stay in the Premier League, and the future in Italy is full of uncertainty.

Hearing what Gallas said, Zhang Yang's heart suddenly moved. He didn't know where Gallas would go in the future, but he said that he wanted to talk to Wenger. He must be interested in going to Arsenal. So is he interested in Millwall? interest?

Gallas!

The black man in the green hat in front of him is an all-round defender, and he can have a main position in Chelsea. If it weren't for the disagreement with Mourinho, it would be almost impossible to get him. Zhang Yang immediately asked in French, "And Wenger? Talk? Is it a transfer? But I think you should think about Millwall!"

"Your French is amazing!"

Gallas was surprised by Zhang Yang's French before realizing what he had said, "Millwall? Millwall is interested in me too?"

"Maybe, I'm very interested in you." Zhang Yang smiled. "I hope to supplement the back line. You should know that our back line... If you can come, with your ability, you will become a key person."

Zhang Yang knows that now is a good opportunity. If Gallas can be persuaded, there is hope to introduce this powerful defender. "I think Arsenal may not be a good choice compared to Millwall. First of all, the results, we are the league champions , The goal next season is still the championship. In addition, we can still participate in the Champions League. We also aim at the championship. And Arsenal, it is disrespectful to say so, but they are unable to compete with Manchester United and Chelsea. If they cannot beat Barcelona Ronaldo, next season won't even qualify for the Champions League."

Zhang Yang said quickly, "In addition, Arsenal has many outstanding defenders, such as Campbell, Toure, Cole, and you are only one of them when you get there. Millwall is different, you will be the most critical role in the back line! "

Zhang Yang's series of combination punches made Gallas feel a little confused. He thought for a while and could only smile wryly, "Okay, let me think about it. If there is a chance to cooperate, I will ask my agent to contact Millwall. "

"Ok."

Zhang Yang felt a little regretful. He also knew that poaching for a few minutes was not practical. Gallas hadn't decided to leave Chelsea yet. He probably just wanted to find another way when he saw Wenger.

In addition, compared with Arsenal, Millwall is really far behind.

Historically poor.

Bad reputation.

Other aspects are also much worse.

Generally, when players choose between the two teams, they will tend to Arsenal. Millwall won the league championship, but it was only one championship. Arsenal has won many championships. Which team will perform better in the future? No one can be sure.

Maybe Arsenal just exploded?

Or maybe Millwall's performance declined rapidly, and after winning the league championship in a flash, it quickly sank, and even fell into the English Championship?
It's all possible.

Zhang Yang has the confidence to lead the team to fight for the championship, but it is only because of what he said out of his mouth. It is hard for others to believe it. There are many examples in the history of football. The small ball will sink quickly after getting good results.

Will Millwall be an exception?
Apart from Zhang Yang, even Millwall's other coaches and even the club's management are not sure, so relying on Millwall's name to convince Gallas in a short time is still somewhat difficult.

Unless he has enough charisma!
The personal charm of a head coach stems from his achievements in leading the team in his coaching career.

If Ferguson coaches a small club in the future, it will still have a strong appeal, but Zhang Yang will be much worse than that. His coaching time is too short. Even if he gets good results, the future is full of uncertainties.

Zhang Yang is even more eager to win more championships!
Think about it.

If he can win the championship every year, even if he goes to other unknown clubs, he will still have a strong appeal. Players will spontaneously trust him to lead the team to achieve results, and the transfer will be much easier.

Stade de France.

The UEFA Champions League final was about to take place in the evening, and many fans had already gathered in the neighborhood near the stadium. More than half of the fans who arrived early were Spanish and English fans, and they came to Paris to support the team.

Zhang Yang arrived at the stadium three hours in advance, and under the guidance of the staff, he walked towards the live broadcast hall of the BBC TV station on the top floor.

Zhang Yang took the reporter channel, and happened to meet Wenger who was being interviewed on the way.

Reporters and staff were everywhere around. Zhang Yang didn't pay much attention at first, but Wenger yelled, "Zhang, it's really interesting to see you here."

Zhang Yang also found it very interesting, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart. Just over two hours ago, he was still trying to poach Wenger's corner. The French probably didn't know about it, otherwise they would definitely not give him a good face.

There are reporters interviewing.

Zhang Yang walked over and said, "I'm here to be a live broadcast guest. By the way, I wish you all the best of luck."

"Thank you, your live broadcast is very interesting. Maybe I should prepare headphones in advance, and listen to the commentary while directing the game." Wenger was joking, but not joking.

Zhang Yang commented on the Champions League final last year, and was reported by many media afterwards. Many media affirmed Zhang Yang's ability to grasp the game.

"When everyone thinks Liverpool have no chance, only Zhang Yang thinks they still have a chance to tie!"

"It may be a coincidence, but anyway, Zhang Yang's ability to judge the game is very good."

After Zhang Yang led Millwall to achieve good results, more media and fans supported this view. Zhang Yang's command of the game often directly affects the result.

Here is the proof.

But after Wenger finished speaking, Zhang Yang thought that today's commentary should be more conservative, otherwise Arsenal won the game, wouldn't they be able to play in the Champions League next season?

"Gallas would never choose Millwall!"

Zhang Yang thought about the impact very seriously.
