Four Hundred and Seventy-Nine Is He Crazy?
Barcelona's first stop in North America came directly to Mexico.
At the University of Monterrey Stadium in Mexico, Barcelona ushered in the first warm-up opponent, the Tigers.
Barcelona continued their excellent results in the warm-up match in Denmark. They defeated their opponents 3-0. Su Dong passed a shot and helped Barcelona win another victory.
After playing this warm-up match, Barcelona immediately set off for Los Angeles, USA. After a short rest, they ushered in the second opponent of the North American Invitational Tournament, Guadalajara.
Barcelona finally relied on Su Dong's brace to defeat the opponent 2-0 and win again.
Although the North American Invitational has only played two games, Barcelona has caused a strong whirlwind in North America.
The first game in Mexico was full, and the seats were full. In this game in Los Angeles, the stadium was full again, attracting nearly 100,000 fans to the scene to watch the game, which shocked the entire North American region.
Su Dong, who scored in two consecutive games, caused a phenomenon in North America.
You must know that three years ago, Barcelona came here once. At that time, they played three warm-up games in Philadelphia, Washington and Boston, and a total of 90,000 fans were attracted to watch the game. The total number of three games was 90,000. .
And now, with the title of the Triple Crown, Barcelona came to the United States again. Los Angeles attracted nearly 100,000 fans in the first battle, which caused a sensation in the entire American sports world.
Especially Su Dong.
Many American media have exclaimed, never thought that there are Chinese people who can form such influence in the United States, and what is even more frightening is that he is still a football player.
In addition to the skyrocketing ticket revenue, revenue in other areas is also rising.
For example, Barcelona signed an agency cooperation agreement with Warner Bros., authorizing them to manufacture, promote and sell official Barcelona peripheral products in the American continent. This agreement also includes part of Su Dong, because his image rights are in his own hands.
This is just a part of the harvest in North America, and the most important thing is the cooperation with several major sponsors.
...
After playing Guadalajara in Los Angeles, Barca spent an extra day in the immigrant city to attend a sponsor's event.
The event attracted a total of more than 10,000 fans to the scene, and the scene was very sensational.
First, the famous Los Angeles NBA star Kobe Bryant came to the stage to welcome the Barcelona players.
In the thunderous applause of the scene, several Barcelona players, led by Puyol, appeared on the stage.
And Su Dong also noticed that Kobe wore a Barcelona jersey today with the number nine on the back and Su Dong's name.
This surprised him.
During the event, Su Dong and Kobe didn't talk too much. The most contact between them was in the part of a game of football skills. The two competed in football and basketball respectively. Needless to say, Su Dong won in football. Kobe is the undisputed king of basketball.
But after the game, Kobe said with a smile that Su Dong is very tall and has a very good physical fitness.
"Really, I watched a lot of your games, and I found that your physical training, especially your muscles, is very good and scientific, and I think if you don't play football, you play basketball, you will be a very good NBA. player."
Su Dong couldn't tell whether this was a business blow or a sincere one, so he jokingly asked, "Can I join the Lakers? Be your best partner?"
"It's entirely possible.
"
There was a lot of noise on the stage, and after the event, the two met again under the stage.
Kobe told Su Dong that he really liked watching Su Dong play football, especially his physical training.
As a basketball player, Kobe's training is also very hard, and Su Dong is also the same. He thinks that Su Dong's training is very scientific, and the final effect is amazing.
"You know why I think you can play basketball?"
Su Dong shook his head.
"Because your body has almost no shortcomings, and every statistic is very top-notch, if I guess correctly, your 100-meter speed should be able to run into eleven seconds."
Su Dong smiled and nodded, "I have tested it in the club, and it is basically about ten seconds and seven. If the physical condition is better, it can be better."
"Awesome!" Kobe exclaimed repeatedly, "You know what? This kind of speed is definitely at the top in the NBA. What's even more terrifying is that you have such a height and strength, and at the same time, you are so amazing. The explosive power of your body, but your physical flexibility and flexibility are so good, I simply doubt that you were created by God to stimulate us."
Su Dong smiled, but of course he wouldn't say that he has a system that can be continuously improved through training.
Whether it is basketball or football, technology is one aspect, but in fact, the body is also crucial.
Especially when it comes to the players of Su Dong's level, they are all very good in body, technique and consciousness.
Consciousness is too metaphysical and uncontrollable, and it is difficult for technology to improve after adulthood, but the body can continue to improve, reaching the limit of the body, and even beyond the limit.
This is the charm of competitive sports!
For example, in the Olympic Games, the influence of track and field is the greatest.
This is what Kobe admired most about Su Dong.
The two met for the first time, but they left a good impression on each other. After exchanging some experiences, they left each other's mobile phone numbers.
…………
…………
From Los Angeles to Houston, Barcelona ushered in the third warm-up match.
This time, more than 70,000 fans came to the scene to watch the game again, and it was still full and full.
You know, before the World Cup, the US national team played a warm-up match with Mexico here. The number of fans who entered the stadium was less than 70,000, but the attendance rate of Barcelona was close to 72,000.
According to the organizers, if it weren't for the limited capacity of the stadium, it is estimated that the attendance rate could exceed 90,000 again.
This is already a very staggering number.
Barcelona did not let the fans down either, smashing Team America four-to-one cleanly and winning another victory.
...
Then, the team flew from Houston to New York to play against the New York Red Bulls.
Su Dong scored twice again to help Barcelona beat the New York Red Bulls 4-0.
This battle is full again.
This year's Barcelona North America Invitational Tournament is a hot wave, and every game is full, so that everyone can see the influence of Barcelona in North America, especially in the United States.
In terms of tickets, Barcelona has made a lot of money, and in business development, Barcelona has also gained a lot, and signed several significant business sponsorships one after another.
But the most meaningful thing is to reach a consensus with the jersey sponsor.
Barcelona's jersey sponsorship was signed in 1998 for ten years and expired in 2008.
Although there are still two years left, for a team like Barcelona, it must be the target of sponsors, so during the period in the United States, the jersey sponsor proposed that they are willing to negotiate with Barcelona to extend the contract as soon as possible.
Long before Barcelona came to North America, they had already applied for renewal of their shirt sponsors, asking to increase the sponsorship fee from 15 million euros a year to 30 million euros, which would be the most important in world football. a sponsorship.
The jersey sponsors also said this time that they hope to start negotiations as soon as possible.
However, it is a pity that the current Barcelona is in a state of no leadership.
...
If you really want to say that the biggest beneficiary of the North American trip, then Su Dong must be unavoidable.
During his stay in North America, Su Dong signed a 20 million euros sponsorship contract with the boot sponsor. This is the most amazing sponsorship ever in the football field, and it can be said to have shocked the entire sports world.
When Kobe chatted with Su Dong privately, he was full of praise for Su Dong's achievements.
The two are the same sponsor, but his sponsorship fee is only half of Su Dong's, not even as good as the newly debuted James.
Su Dong's sponsorship also shocked everyone.
According to general practice, behind the high sponsorship fee is often a longer contract period.
But this does not apply to Su Dong, because his newly signed contract is only five years old.
That is to say, in the next five years, Su Dong can take 100 million euros of sponsorship fees from the pockets of sponsors, which is definitely a veritable big money-sucker.
The whole world is amazed, but only Su Dong himself knows that the key reason why he can sign so high is because of competition.
The sponsors encountered opponents and did not want to miss Su Dong, so they could only keep raising the offer.
...
From New York to Spain, Barcelona can be described as running all the way.
The club is also preparing to participate in the Spanish Super Cup and the game against Espanyol, but after a month away and returning to Barcelona, everyone clearly felt the change in the club's atmosphere.
Laporta and others temporarily suspend the chairmanship and the presidium, Soriano and other professionals continue to run the team, and technical director Begiristan also continues to be in charge of the sports department, but many things have to be temporarily suspended.
The upcoming presidential election has also caused panic among the club.
Both Laporta and Roselle announced their intention to run for the election, and both of them also proposed their own candidacy guidelines, from how to manage the team to how to help the team improve its performance and influence. own set of policies.
Vice-Chairman Soriano and Technical Director Begiristan came to Gamper Sports City the day after the team returned to Barcelona and told all the players that the presidential election would not affect the operation and performance of the team, and hoped that the players would not Focus on the game, considering the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
"We will create a loose and smooth game environment for the team!"
Soriano also made a commitment on behalf of the team, and will come up with a generous reward system for the new season's results, hoping that everyone will continue to work hard.
Begiristan, as the technical director, also made some words of encouragement.
But at this time of the presidential election, it is impossible to say that it will not affect the team.
...
When Barcelona returned to Spain, the sensation caused by the team in North America, especially Sudong in the United States, also attracted strong attention in European football.
The most important thing is the sky-high sponsorship contract, which made everyone feel the influence of being the number one player in world football.
But at the same time, in the office of the editor-in-chief of World Sports News, Santi Nora received an anonymous letter.
The content of the letter shocked him directly!
"Is he crazy?" Santi Nora fell back into the office chair, speechless for a long time.
