Chapter 403 Two Brand Endorsements

Chapter 403 Two Brand Endorsements

The next day, Ning Xi left Hoffenheim to do what a manager should do - package the dragon to win, and let him gain fame and benefits outside the arena.

This is of course a normal thing, but after she left, Long Bisheng was a little embarrassed, and Lu Xiaoshan was also a little embarrassed. Apart from her brother Lu Dashan, she had never been alone with a boy under the same roof. Although she had lived with Long Bisheng in an apartment before, after all, with Ning Xi at that time, no matter what the two girls were doing together, it would be much more enjoyable. She could also ignore that there was a Long Bisheng in the room.

But now, Lu Xiaoshan, who has lived here for a year, begins to feel a little uncomfortable when he bows his head and sees him looking up.

She was embarrassed, and Long Bisheng was even more embarrassed. He knew that Lu Xiaoshan had a crush on him. Usually, with Ning Xi around, he could naturally chat with Lu Xiaoshan, talk heart-to-heart, and do housework... But now, Long Bisheng felt that it would be inappropriate for him to even say a few words to Lu Xiaoshan.

However, Lu Xiaoshan and Long Bisheng are colleagues—the two go to the club together, go home together, and go to the away game together... It is impossible to stay away from each other.

So Long Bisheng could only go in and out with Lu Xiaoshan every day. Although the other club teammates didn't show any surprises, Long Bisheng still felt uncomfortable, simply extremely uncomfortable.On the other hand, Lu Xiaoshan became very natural after the first two days of being unnatural. He accompanied Long Bisheng to the club every day and was sweating profusely. He still gave Long Bisheng a massage every day to relieve his fatigue, and when he got home, he helped him cook and wash his clothes - her cooking skills were much higher than Ning Xi's.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoshan was so open-minded, Long Bisheng also went all out, so what to do, whoever he loves, just pretend that Ning Xi didn't go out.But every time Li Jie came back with them, he looked at Long Bisheng with strange eyes, and Long Bisheng didn't care too much.

After playing the last group match of the Champions League, before the winter break, Hoffenheim still have two league games to play, namely an away game against Bayern and a home game against Schalke Zero Four.

The two league games before the winter break made the Hoffenheim fans extremely depressed while they were happy that the team had qualified.

Although Newcastle's unbeaten record was broken in the away game, Hoffenheim paid a very heavy price.

The top scorer Ibisevic was found to have a thigh muscle strain after the game and had to rest for a month. The midfield playmaker Eduardo also appeared extremely tired after the game. Every player who was marked by Essien would feel this way after the game. In addition, due to continuous fighting, several main players were not in good physical condition.

Although it was worth any price for the result of being able to enter the Champions League knockout rounds, it made them perform poorly in the next two league games.

Hoffenheim's No.16 opponent is Bayern Munich. Although the Bundesliga hegemony did not perform well in the league this season, their last game in the Champions League was just a formality, which means that they are an elite team against Hoffenheim.

Although Long Bisheng scored a goal in the game, Hoffenheim still lost to Bayern Munich in the away game. They did not lose much, only one goal, but in the game, another midfielder Marin was injured again. The groin injury made him have to rest for two months.

In the last game before the winter break, Hoffenheim drew 11-[-] with Schalke [-] at home. Long Bisheng scored in five consecutive games, increasing his number of league goals to No.[-], but he still failed to help Hoffenheim win a single victory.

In the previous 31 league games, Hoffenheim's performance in the later stage has improved significantly. Ten wins, one draw and four losses have accumulated 41 points, which put them in the fourth place in the standings. Werder Bremen, their points are 37 points and 36 points respectively. Bayern has encountered a lot of trouble this season and only ranked fourth with 33 points. However, they performed well in the Champions League and established a group qualification early, while Wolfsburg was eliminated miserably.

Now Hoffenheim has paid the price for their distraction in the first half of the season, falling behind Leverkusen by as much as [-] points. If they can't find the rhythm of victory after the winter break, then let alone competing for the Bundesliga championship this season, even entering the top three to participate in the Champions League next season will become very difficult.

Fortunately, when they were most difficult and the players were in the worst condition, they ushered in the winter break of the Bundesliga. There will be no next game until January 21 next year.

As long as they can achieve the level and state in the league before the final round of the Champions League group stage, there is still hope for a place in the Champions Cup and even a championship.

******************************************

Three days before Christmas, Long Bisheng, Ning Xi, and Lu Xiaoshan, who were originally on vacation in Hawaii, came to Italy together. Their destination was Milan, the world's famous fashion capital and one of the famous football resorts in Europe.

Of course, Long Bisheng did not come here because he wanted to transfer to Inter Milan or AC Milan, two world-class giants—although Long Bisheng’s performance has attracted the attention of many teams, but the giants are not so interested in him—the giants want superstars, and they want stars who can please the fans.

He came to Milan not for anything else, but to attend a dinner for an endorsement brand.

Ning Xi's ability to handle affairs surprised Long Bisheng. At first he thought that Ning Xi's level as an agent was not very good, otherwise he would not have only found a few brand endorsements for Long Bisheng in China for so many years, but now it seems that Ning Xi is not incapable of attracting brands that are interested in him in Europe for Long Bisheng, but is looking for a brand agent after making Long Bisheng famous. benefit.

Within half a month, Ning Xi quickly made Long Bisheng the spokesperson of two century-class brands - the speed is jaw-dropping. One of them is the world-renowned brand Ray-Ban sunglasses. Lu Xiaoshan is right. Although Long Bisheng looks very simple and honest, his face is that of a standard tough guy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten the nickname "Tarzan" because he yelled at the stands after scoring a goal in Leeds. Wild momentum.

From this aspect, it is also a very correct choice for Ray-Ban Sunglasses to choose Long Bisheng as the endorsement of their sports sunglasses.Although Hoffenheim did not perform well in the first two games during the winter break, Long Bisheng's performance was as good as ever. He scored goals in five consecutive games in the league, surpassed Ibisevic to become the top scorer in the Bundesliga, and broke Newcastle's home unbeaten record. Now Long Bisheng is a man of the European football.

Although Ray-Ban sunglasses are the best-selling brand of sunglasses in the world, after all, Ray-Ban is an American company and one of the three symbols of American culture, but in Europe they can't compare with those old local companies, then Ning Xi's endorsement of another brand that Long Bisheng got, made Long Bisheng really start to rank among the top European football players.

This brand is the Armani company headquartered in Milan, the most famous fashion company in Europe.

Armani has always had a tradition of letting people in the football world become brand endorsers. Beckham used to be one of them. Now the best players in the world such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Messi and others are also the brand ambassadors of Armani, including the coach Jose Mourinho, who has the highest salary in the world. It was a move in the market, and the endorsement fee that Ning Xi won for him was only 200 million pounds in two years, which was nothing compared to the tens of millions of pounds a year for the superstars in Syria.

But in this world, the strong are always respected. If Long Bisheng's fame in the future can reach that of superstars like Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi, the Armani Group will naturally give him a contract in line with his worth. Ning Xi values ​​this contract not only for income, but after marrying Armani, Long Bisheng will definitely have another leap in fame.

Originally, Lu Xiaoshan didn't need to come, but Milan, the capital of fashion, is extremely attractive to every girl. What's more, leaving Lu Xiaoshan alone in Hawaii is not something that Long Bisheng and Ning Xi can do. Anyway, the dinner is only for one night, and it is a good choice to spend a while in Milan.
