Chapter 759 The Quarterfinals Begin

"I read the reports on the Internet. Is this true, Fan?"

After a simple greeting, Molina directly stated the purpose of the call.His voice was slightly low and worried. Obviously, he was also shocked by the news of the Spanish internal strife suddenly revealed by the media.

As Fan Bizhuang's manager, the relationship between the two can be said to be one of prosperity and loss for the other. The two of them have already planned their responsibilities. Lina takes care of all business affairs outside the arena for him.

For a long time, the cooperation between the two has been quite pleasant. Although Molina was inexperienced at the beginning because he had just changed careers, through continuous learning and accumulation of "actual combat" in the past few years, the role of "big housekeeper" he played has become better and better. more and more handy.

For example, in the World Cup in South Africa this time, with Fan Bizhuang's outstanding performances in the competitions, his worth has also risen, and he has attracted countless world-renowned big businessmen. Molina took this opportunity to select a few An advertiser that conforms to Fan Bizhuang's image and can bring a lot of benefits, and this is not the "end". If Fan Bizhuang can continue to perform well, or if Spain can go further in the World Cup, then Fan Bizhuang Bi Zhuang's value will continue to rise like a rocket, which is why he has only accepted a few commercial contracts-the real big head is still to come, the better the performance of the Spanish team, the more confidence he will have To fight for more and better business contracts for Fan Bizhuang.

However, the current Spanish team has suddenly exposed the "infighting". No wonder he is anxious. The longer Spain stays in the World Cup, the higher the commercial value of Fan Bizhuang, and vice versa.But if Spain's team is in turmoil and has no intention of fighting because of the "infighting" incident, then he and his boss will lose a lot of money?

Of course, even leaving aside the business aspect, based on his understanding of Fan Bizhuang, the opponent is undoubtedly extremely eager for the glory on the pitch. If he misses this opportunity, he might leave some regrets in his heart. .Besides being his boss, Fan Bizhuang was also his child, so he naturally didn't want to see that scene happen.

Fan Bizhuang pondered for a while, and finally nodded with a slow and low voice.

"It's true."

This sentence made Molina's heart skip a beat, but the next sentence that came immediately made him slightly relieved.

"However, the problem should be solved now, and it shouldn't have much impact on our preparations."

Molina nodded slightly: "That's good. By the way, during the time you were in South Africa, many advertisers approached me and sought cooperation. I screened out a few, all of which are well-known merchants with generous salaries. Yes That kind of long-term cooperation. After all, the World Cup is not over yet, and your social value and commercial value will further increase, so I just chose a few partners with a purpose."

"It's up to you to decide. I believe you can handle these things well."

Many excellent professional players basically put all their energy on the green court, and leave the rest to people they trust to take care of. This is why many managers can hide from their employers. The reason for signing some seemingly unwise contracts is because they have a lot of "handling power" in their hands. Some managers who can't help being tempted even sell the interests of their employers for their own interests.In today's football, rumors of disagreements between players and agents, or even going to court, also happen from time to time.

Fan Bizhuang also gave Molina a lot of "handling power", but he didn't have the slightest worry. Molina is the person he trusts the most, and the two have always had a father-like relationship—it is true In this way, Molina regards Fan Bizhuang as his own son, and Fan Bizhuang also regards him as his "future father-in-law". With a relationship like Felisa's, there is really nothing between the two of them. It's so good to entrap each other, Fan Bizhuang even "abducted" his daughter, they can be regarded as a real family in essence, it's just a matter of time.

The response from Molina on the other end was also very casual. He just let out a "huh" to indicate that he understood, and then said, "Also, I have a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Bad news." Fan Bizhuang replied aloud, as he likes bitterness before sweetness.

"Well, let me tell you the good news first."

"..."

Fan Bizhuang rolled his eyes, only to hear Molina's voice continue to ring on the phone.

"The good news is that Nike is going to hire you to be the image spokesperson for the Asian region. They offer very generous terms. Besides getting a high salary, this will also greatly help your business image. "

In recent years, as Fan Bizhuang's performance in the European arena has become more and more outstanding and his influence has grown, his commercial value has also been favored by many internationally renowned sports brand companies. Nike is one of Fan Bizhuang's a partner.

Obviously, with the high-profile performance in this World Cup, Nike has a higher evaluation of Fan Bizhuang's commercial value, coupled with Fan Bizhuang's Chinese identity, this makes the other party have the intention to deepen cooperation .

Fan Bizhuang nodded: "What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is... We had a good talk at first, but now newspapers and the Internet have exposed the infighting of the Spanish team. Although they have not withdrawn the negotiations, the current attitude seems to be mostly on the sidelines. If you If you want to get a lucrative big contract, then you have to prove it with practical actions in the next game."

"This is a businessman."

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Fan Bizhuang's mouth, and he shook his head.If the Spanish team can go further and Fan Bizhuang continues to perform well, then his influence and positive image will be better known to the world. On the contrary, if Spain cannot go further, the incident of internal strife will be ignored. In fact, this is negative for Fan Bizhuang's image.As one of the world's top sports brand companies, it is debatable whether Nike will appoint a player who has been plagued by "negative news" as a promotion ambassador and image spokesperson for the Asian region.

"It's up to them. But if they are willing to continue talking later, then we can add conditions."

"I understand."

The two talked about some work matters, and talked about the recent preparations for the war. Molina gave a few words of encouragement, and then closed the line.

……

Questions and attacks from the outside world are still being staged, but the Spanish players are under pressure and continue to make final preparations for the next quarter-finals.

Time passed quickly, and July 7 finally arrived, and the curtain of the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Africa was completely opened.

The first was a powerful dialogue between the long-standing rivals Brazil and the Netherlands at the Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

One of the two teams is currently the country that has won the most World Cups. Brazil has won the Hercules Cup five times in total. They are also one of the favorites to win the World Cup in South Africa.

The Dutch team is also a traditional strong team in Europe, and has many crowds around the world, but in terms of honor, they are far behind the Samba. So far, they have never achieved anything in international competitions .

But in any case, the collision between the two is still sparks hitting the earth. They are both traditional strong teams, and they are all star-studded. Who will become the first team to reach the semi-finals in this World Cup? guesswork.

Some people are optimistic about the Brazil team. The reason is very simple. Brazil is the biggest winner in the World Cup. They have the most winning experience in this event, and every time they participate in the World Cup, they are also the favorites to win the championship.

There are also people who are optimistic about the Dutch team, Robben, Sneijder, and Dirk. These names are all influential figures in today's football. Although the country of tulips has never won a championship in a major competition, their strength is very strong. They are not to be underestimated, and they can often stage a good show of "overcoming the strong with the weak", and their title of "uncrowned king" has also made them well-known all over the world.

Before the game, Pele publicly expressed his support and optimism for his homeland. In his opinion, the Brazilian team started from the group stage and went all the way to the quarter-finals. Obviously, the team is in an excellent situation. In terms of status, the road to promotion for the Dutch team is a bit staggering. From the perspective of strength comparison, the Brazilian team has more stars and stronger overall ability. It will not be a big problem to beat the Dutch team to enter the quarterfinals. .

The progress of the first half of the game seemed to confirm Pele's argument. Only 10 minutes into the game, Brazilian striker Robinho made a breakthrough on the left side of the penalty area and then pushed and hit the goal, helping Brazil easily take a one-goal lead. Advantage.

In the following time, the Brazilian team also had the advantage on the field, they were almost besieging the half of the Dutch team.

In the first half of the game, many fans and the media exclaimed loudly that the king of the ball is finally going to take off his "crow's mouth" hat, but the facts prove that your uncle is still your uncle, and the crow's mouth is still the same one. With a crow's mouth, Bailey is a man with a super aura of "advanced black".

In this cup, all the teams Pele is optimistic about have suffered a lot. He is optimistic about the French team. As a result, the Gallic Rooster failed to win a game in the group stage and was out of the group ahead of schedule; he is optimistic about Italy. Apennines flight.Optimistic about England, England was beaten all over the place by the German team...

Now, he is optimistic about his home country, Brazil, and Brazil has become the next "victim".

In the first half, the Brazilian team, which dominated the score and the scene, was unable to expand its lead. However, in the second half, the situation changed suddenly. The Dutch team seemed to be on the verge of chicken blood, fully embodying their style of total defense , The Brazilian team turned out to be suppressed by the opponent.

What was even more unlucky was that in the 52nd minute of the game, Sneijder made a cross from the left. Goalkeeper Cesar made a mistake and collided with the central defender Melo who returned to defend and make up. Melo fell to the ground. Football headed into his own gate.

Melo's own goal also helped the Dutch team equalize the score dramatically.
