Chapter 182: Championship Night! If You Want to Keep Going up, You Have to Learn to Be More Selfish [Please Subscribe! ]

The commentary team of Channel 5 was busy again, preparing to rush to Spain in advance.

It was very important for Channel 5 to witness Li Ang and Real Madrid defending the La Liga title.

Because this was not only another historic moment, but also a guarantee of ratings.

However, Duan Xuan could not leave this time, and He Wei finally boarded the plane to Madrid with Xu Yang and the crew.

In China, before the official propaganda started, Li Ang's domestic team had already spent a lot of money to start the propaganda machine.

Some domestic media that Mendes had intended to make friends with and build relationships with also exerted their energy at this moment.

These media are also familiar with the preferences of the domestic people.

Reflected in the titles of their propaganda reports, it can only be said that they are exaggerated, but very useful.

"Li Ang's tenth championship in his career! The 22-year-old owner of ten championships!"

"The third top league championship, Li Ang's three years of winning the championship, and Real Madrid's three years of rise! "

"From a half-step abandoned child to the darling of the Bernabeu"

"The Asian miracle continues! 》

When Li Ang saw these reports and public opinion indexes sent by the domestic team in Madrid, he felt both amused and embarrassed.

Well, strictly speaking, the news headlines of these media are not wrong.

But the expression is a bit exaggerated.

For example, the one about "from abandoned child to darling".

When he was loaned to Milan, Mourinho had already made it clear that he would not sell him to any team.

What kind of abandoned child is this?

Shaking his head, Li Ang put down his phone.

After slowly finishing breakfast, he grabbed the car keys, said hello to the assistant who was still working at his home, and walked to the underground garage.

Today he was not going to practice, he reported to the base normally, and then participated in the morning recovery training.

Although Mourinho wanted to give Li Ang and Ronaldo another day off, the time node of this round of make-up games was so tight.

Coupled with the thrill of almost turning over in the 34th round of the league, Mourinho finally decided to take the players to win the championship in one go, and then have a good rest.

Li Ang and C Ronaldo naturally had no objection. There was no problem with their physical fitness, and the rest of Real Madrid's players had no problem either.

So the Valdebebas training base remained noisy and lively in the morning after the game, which should have been quiet.

The players who played the game were still undergoing physical examinations, and the players who did not play the game had already started warming up.

At this moment, Karanka, who was following Mourinho, looked embarrassed and seemed to be hesitant and entangled.

But after a moment, he still covered his mouth and relayed the "request" of the club CEO Sanchez to Mourinho.

"Li Ang is not in a hurry to renew his contract?"

After listening to Karanka's statement, Mourinho turned his head and looked at Karanka with a strange expression.

Li Ang was not in a hurry to renew his contract, so either he was not satisfied with the contract term or the annual salary, and the club would continue to talk.

Why did he, the head coach, find him for this kind of thing? He couldn't do this for the club and persuade Li Ang to reach a new contract extension with the club as soon as possible, right?

"Mendes is always shirking his urgency to meet the negotiation team, and the little lion said that he has authorized Mendes to handle the renewal, so Sanchez wants you to make an appointment with Mendes. He wants to meet with Mendes."

Karanka explained again, and Mourinho understood.

But he still didn't agree to this matter, even though Mendes was his good friend and partner.

Karanka naturally wouldn't ask about the time. He was already giving Sanchez face by coming to pass on this message.

Whether it is convenient for Mourinho to do it later is Mourinho's personal wish.

"By the way, can I know some of the club's negotiation requirements? Just what you think is convenient to tell me?"

Before completely ending this topic, Mourinho had some interest in his heart and asked Karanka while holding his shoulder.

Karanka didn't hide this. If he really wanted to talk about it later, Mourinho could easily know more details through Mendes.

What he knows now are only the unilateral preliminary intentions of some clubs, which are not confidential.

"Sign for five years, the image rights can remain unchanged, the annual salary will double, but a penalty of 150 million will be set."

After listening, Mourinho nodded thoughtfully, and then he and Karanka tacitly did not talk about it again.

After the training that day, Li Ang saw Mendes waiting in the living room as soon as he got home.

On the way home after the training, Li Ang had already received a call from Mendes, so he was not surprised.

"Jorge."

"Little lion, you have worked hard, come over first, you can take a look at these renewal conditions first."

Mendes went straight to the point, and Li Ang did not hesitate and took his phone.

"I haven't agreed to meet with Sanchez in the near future. As you know, we can still discuss these preliminary details, but you can roughly see Real Madrid's sincerity and conditions for this contract renewal."

While Li Ang was carefully reading the contract renewal details, Mendes pulled off his tie and gave Li Ang a brief explanation.

After Li Ang finished reading, the two looked at each other tacitly, and then laughed.

"This condition is not acceptable."

After getting the answer he wanted most, Mendes also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Years, salary, or liquidated damages?"

"Salary and liquidated damages can be negotiated, but the years cannot be signed for five years at a time, and what I want to talk about most is the image rights!"

Li Ang gave his answer in a firm tone.

This time, Mendes no longer persuaded Li Ang to give up part of his image rights and continue to reach renewal conditions with Real Madrid as he did more than a year ago.

Because Li Ang's income has changed, and it has changed drastically!

Mendes would feel heartbroken if Li Ang gave up 20% of his image rights, let alone 40%!

More than a year ago, Li Ang, who had just returned to Real Madrid, still needed Real Madrid's help to promote his fame around the world and enhance Li Ang's brand value in the Chinese market.

But now, Mendes has begun to arrange Li Ang's off-season business expansion plan!

More than a year ago, Li Ang could earn more by giving up 40% of his image rights.

But now giving up this part of the image rights is like cutting Li Ang's flesh. Even if Li Ang doesn't feel bad, Mendes will feel bad to death!

Next year, when Li Ang turns 23, Mendes is very sure that he can help Li Ang increase his personal annual income to 100 million euros.

This is still under the condition of picking commercial contracts. If he doesn't pick, Mendes can help Li Ang increase his personal income to 100 million euros by the end of this year!

By then, Li Ang's income will crush all football players!

Messi and Ronaldo will also be among those who are crushed.

And this kind of income is only the result after the initial cultivation of the Chinese market. What does this mean?

The days of cooperating with Real Madrid to jointly develop personal brands and make money together are gone forever.

This is the reality, the most naked reality. Real Madrid and Li Ang must make concessions.

There is no way. Li Ang's image rights are now real money. No matter whether other Real Madrid players make trouble or not, Mendes will help Li Ang to fight for this right back!

Think about it, Li Ang is already qualified to earn 100 million euros a year at the age of 22.

Then how much should his annual income be when he is 24 or 25 years old, when he is more powerful?

Continuing to give in to Real Madrid's global promotion plan, Li Ang may lose 100 million or even more than 100 million in income every year in four or five years. Can Mendes do this business?

Li Ang made a decision in his heart at this time, but he still mentioned it a little more.

"Let's slowly negotiate with the club. I'm not in a hurry. But don't push them too much. We can keep our mouths shut. As long as neither side says anything, there will be no trouble in our team. It depends on whether they have the intention."

Mendes understood when he heard this. Li Ang still didn't want to make the relationship between the two sides tense. He is a sentimental person.

"Okay, I will arrange someone to contact Real Madrid's negotiation team first. We are not in a hurry.

You should also work hard. It's great that you can win another league championship! If you can win the Champions League this year, it will be even better! By then, we will have more confidence in negotiations!"

The two imagined the scene of defending the Champions League at the end of May, and laughed at the same time again.

If Real Madrid can successfully defend the Champions League this time, Li Ang, as an absolute main force, can only say that his future development is limitless.

After bidding farewell to Mendes, Li Ang no longer cared about the renewal negotiations.

There are still two years left in his contract with Real Madrid. Even if the deal is not reached this time, he is not in a hurry.

He does not rely on this 4 million euro annual salary to make a living. If the deal cannot be reached, they can talk slowly.

He thinks the previous 80 million euro liquidated damages are also appropriate. Is it really necessary to increase it to 150 million?

Li Ang does not think that any team will pay 80 million euros for him, let alone 150 million.

He is not Neymar. Besides, he will not choose to go to a team with oil tycoons.

After making a joke in his heart, Li Ang shook off the extra considerations in his mind and started to wash up and wait for dinner.

For the next day and a half, Mendes did not send Li Ang any news related to the negotiation.

Li Ang also put all his thoughts on the make-up match with Espanyol.

In the evening of May 7, at the Bernabeu scene where reporters gathered, the Real Madrid players who had been called out for a long time started warming up under the spotlights and camera flashes.

He Wei and Xu Yang were already doing the final equipment debugging at the commentary booth.

When the players on both sides finished warming up and made the final mobilization, and were about to go on the field, the live broadcast of Channel 5 also started on time!

Hundreds of millions of Chinese people were waiting in front of the TV. As the live camera scanned, Li Ang, who was joking with Ronaldo and Marcelo, instantly caught the eyes of the people.

Li Ang's handsome face can win the favor of the people, and his confidence and calmness can make the people applaud.

No one would doubt that Real Madrid would fall to the Spaniards at this time.

The atmosphere has been set to this point. It is almost a "crime" for Real Madrid not to win the league championship this year.

At this moment, the Real Madrid players who can still talk and laugh under huge pressure naturally once again received praise from all media people and neutral fans.

After the opening parade ceremony, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly tightened.

At 7 o'clock in the evening Madrid time, with the referee's whistle, this game that almost determines the ownership of the La Liga championship this season officially started!

Real Madrid lined up a 4-3-3 full main formation today to play against the Spaniards' 4-5-1.

Li Ang and Modric played as left and right midfielders, and Long Ge fell back again.

This midfield trio is basically the most frequently used midfield combination by Real Madrid after the second half of the season.

The Spaniards wanted to defend the midfield at the beginning, but Li Ang and Modric's rotation forward quickly broke their central deployment.

Benzema's withdrawal and distribution were also very timely. Real Madrid's offensive on both wings can be carried out smoothly, thanks to Benzema's retreat and sacrifice.

The offensive connection in the frontcourt was smooth, and Real Madrid's offensive rhythm quickly picked up.

Marcelo, who replaced Coentrao in the starting lineup today, is Ronaldo's best helper on the offensive end.

With Li Ang's care and defense, Marcelo's forward attack was also very determined.

The defensive pressure on the Spaniards on the right suddenly increased by many times.

After all, it is equivalent to facing the rotation of an all-around super giant and a top "winger".

Victor Sanchez and Javi Lopez wanted to hold on, but they couldn't!

Mourinho on the sidelines looked at the changes and excellent results that Marcelo brought to Real Madrid's offense, but he sighed in his heart first.

Originally, he thought Coentrao would be the right answer, but now that Coentrao has been injured many times, he can no longer get his 100% trust.

Since it is impossible to arrange a more reliable bottom defense for him behind Ronaldo, then give him an offensive assistant who suits his heart better!

Although this will cause certain hidden dangers in Real Madrid's left defense.

But with Ramos' timely pulling and Li Ang's defensive care, it is not a defensive loophole.

Marcelo, who probably knows that he has returned to the main lineup, performed very actively today.

His continuous overlapping and timely cutting inside helped Ronaldo repeatedly open up space for strong breakthroughs.

And Li Ang's support and protection behind the two of them made them press forward unscrupulously.

This is a cruel way of pressing forward.

Because of the Spanish defense on the right, even the entire right half of the defense line was penetrated by Real Madrid!

The complete gap in strength, the collapse along the way also made the entire Spanish defense passive.

To fill the right side, the number of defenders in the center and left sides will naturally decrease accordingly.

Modric is the best candidate to seize this opportunity at this moment.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Marcelo successfully cut into the bottom line of the Spanish penalty area again with the cover of Ronaldo.

His inverted triangle back pass made the Spanish penalty area a mess!

Modric, who received the ball, passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area, which made the Spanish defenders panic.

The angel Di Maria who finally made the final blow did not torture these Spanish defenders for too long.

His movements and eyes deceived the Spanish goalkeeper Casilla.

And his near-angle push also successfully helped Real Madrid break the deadlock on the field!

The entire Bernabeu was completely boiling and celebrating at this moment!

In the center of the stadium, which was almost beating and shaking, the angel was knocked down to the grass by Li Ang and Benzema before he could run two steps!

Once the ball went in, the game was decided!

The old man stood up and applauded in the box with a smile on his face, and the Spanish president beside him did not seem to be dissatisfied, but smiled equally happily.

This scene was naturally criticized by Barcelona fans.

And ten minutes later, when Ronaldo scored Real Madrid's second goal with a free kick, countless Barcelona fans chose to turn off the live broadcast of this make-up game!

The 2012-2013 La Liga season is over!

Even if this make-up game did not even reach halftime, the suspense of this season's La Liga is indeed over.

The entire Spanish team has sufficient reasons to lie down, and Real Madrid did not overly elevate a complete victory to the point of slaughter.

Higuain, who replaced Benzema in the second half, scored Real Madrid's third goal, which was also the last goal scored by Real Madrid in this game.

The referee gave two minutes of extra time, and Real Madrid started the celebration with only one minute left in the extra time!

Of course, the Real Madrid and Espanyol players on the field were still quite professional.

It was not until the referee blew the whistle to officially end the game that Li Ang picked up the football under his feet and stuffed it into his jersey.

The Espanyol players smiled and came forward to congratulate the Real Madrid players for successfully defending the league title.

At this time, Li Ang also walked towards the jubilant bench.

"Carlos! Carlos! Come here!"

Li Ang greeted Casemiro, who was very surprised at this time. When he came over, Li Ang took out the football from his jersey and stuffed it into his hand.

"Remember the feeling of this moment, you need this commemorative football more than us, come on, my brother!"

Li Ang smiled and patted Casemiro on the back of his head, and then hugged him.

The live camera of course recorded this friendly scene.

The fans who thought Li Ang wanted to collect the championship ball for themselves now applauded Li Ang's move!

Casemiro, whose eyes were red, received blessings and encouragement from his teammates and coaches.

Mourinho gave Li Ang a thumbs up across the crowd.

After encouraging Casemiro a few more words, Li Ang turned around and went to Nacho to celebrate.

Just then, Higuain greeted Li Ang and walked in front of him.

"Gonzalo?"

"Little lion."

After the two of them high-fived and hugged, the first sentence Higuain uttered made Li Ang stunned.

"I'm leaving Real Madrid, little lion, I'm very happy to fight side by side with you, and it has been like this for the past three years."

There was some nostalgia in Higuain's tone, and there were many feelings, but more of it seemed to be relief.

Li Ang didn't know how to comfort Higuain at this moment.

All he could do was open his arms and give this teammate and brother who was about to leave the Bernabeu a comforting hug.

"If you want to move forward, learn to be more selfish, little lion.

It's time for you to strive for higher honors."

This hot compress seems to have only a little effect. The thumb doesn't hurt, it's not tenosynovitis. Can strengthening the muscles of the forearm effectively relieve the pain after typing for a long time?

Is there any big guy who knows about this? Is acupuncture effective?
