Chapter 479： Is he crazy?

The first stop of Barcelona's landing in North America, it came directly to Mexico.

At the University of Monterrey Stadium in Mexico, Barcelona ushered in their first warm-up opponent, the Tigers.

Barcelona continued their excellent warm-up results during the Danish period, beating their opponent three to zero, and Su Dong made a pass and one shot, helping Barcelona win another victory.

After playing this warm-up game, Barcelona immediately set off for Los Angeles, after a short rest, ushered in the second opponent of the North American Invitational, Guadalajara.

Barca 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.

Mexico’s first game was full, and the seats were full. In this game in Los Angeles, the stadium was full again, attracting nearly 100,000 fans to watch the game, which shocked the entire North American region.

Su Dong, who scored in two consecutive games, created a phenomenon in North America.

You know, three years ago, Barcelona had not been there once. At that time, they played three warm-up matches in Philadelphia, Washington and Boston. A total of 90,000 fans were attracted to watch the game. The total number of three games was 90,000. .

And now, Barcelona has come to the United States again with the title of Triple Crown. Los Angeles has attracted nearly 100,000 fans in the First World War, which has caused a sensation in the entire American sports world.

Especially Su Dong.

Many American media have exclaimed. I never thought that there would be a Chinese who can form such an influence in the United States. What's more terrifying is that he is still a football player.

In addition to the skyrocketing ticket revenue, income in other areas has also risen.

For example, Barcelona signed an agency cooperation agreement with Warner Bros., authorizing them to manufacture, promote and sell Barcelona’s official peripheral products in the American continent. This agreement also includes a part of Su Dong, because his portrait rights are in his own hands.

This is only part of the harvest in North America, the most important thing is the cooperation with several major sponsors.

……

After playing Guadalajara in Los Angeles, Barcelona stayed in this immigrant city for one more day to participate in sponsor activities.

This event attracted more than 10,000 fans to the scene, and the scene was very sensational.

First, the famous NBA star Kobe Bryant from Los Angeles took the stage and welcomed the Barcelona players.

In the thunderous applause of the scene, several Barcelona players who attended, led by Puyol, appeared on the stage.

And Su Dong also noticed that Kobe is wearing the Barcelona shirt today, the number on the back is number nine, and Su Dong's name.

This really surprised him.

During the event, Su Dong and Kobe didn’t talk too much. The most contact they had was in a game of football skills. The two competed in football and basketball respectively. Needless to say, Su Dong won in football. Kobe is a well-deserved king in basketball.

But after the game, Kobe smiled and said that Su Dong is very tall and has very good physical fitness.

"Really, I watched a lot of your games. I found that your physical training, especially your muscles, is very good and very scientific. I think if you don’t play football and play basketball instead, you will definitely be a very good NBA. Players."

Su Dong didn’t know whether it was a commercial blow or was it sincere, so he jokingly asked, “Can you join the Lakers? Be your best partner?”

"It's totally possible."

It was noisy on the stage, and after the event, the two met again off the stage.

Kobe told Su Dong that he really likes 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 Su Dong's training is very scientific, and the final effect presented is very amazing.

"Do you know why I think you can play basketball?"

Su Dong shook his head.

"Because your body hardly has any shortcomings, and every statistic is very top-notch, if I'm not wrong, your 100m speed should be able to run for eleven seconds."

Su Dong smiled and nodded, "I have tested it in the club, and it is basically around ten seconds and seven. If the physical condition is better, it can be better."

"Awesome!" Kobe exclaimed, "Do you know? This speed is definitely ranked high in the NBA. What's even more frightening is that you have such a height and strength, but at the same time you are so amazing. The explosive power of your body, but your body’s flexibility and flexibility are so good, I simply doubt that you were created by God to stimulate us."

Su Dong smiled, of course he would not say that he has a system that can be continuously improved through training.

Whether it is basketball or football, technology is one aspect, but the body is also very important.

Especially the players at the level of Su Dong and theirs, they are all very good in body, technique and consciousness.

Consciousness is too metaphysical and uncontrollable. It is difficult to improve technology after adulthood, but the body can continue to improve, reaching the limits of the body, or even exceeding the limits.

This is the charm of competitive sports!

For example, in the Olympic Games, track and field events have the greatest influence.

This is where Kobe admires Su Dong most.

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.

…………

…………

Flying from Los Angeles to Houston, Barcelona ushered in the third warm-up match.

This time once again attracted more than 70,000 fans to the scene to watch the game, and it was still full of seats.

You know, before the World Cup, the US national team played a warm-up match with Mexico here. The number of fans in the stadium was less than 70,000, but Barcelona's attendance was close to 72,000.

According to the organizer, if it were not for the limited capacity of the stadium, it is estimated that the attendance rate could break 90,000 again.

This is already a very staggering number.

Barça did not disappoint the fans either. They defeated the Americas team cleanly four to one and won another victory.

……

Then, the team flew from Houston to New York to face the New York Red Bulls.

Su Dong once again scored twice and helped Barcelona beat the New York Red Bulls 4-0.

This battle is full again.

This year's Barcelona North American Invitational is a hot wave, every game is full, so that everyone can see the influence of Barcelona in North America, especially the United States.

In terms of tickets, Barcelona is making a lot of money, and in terms of commercial development, Barcelona is also very rewarding, and it has signed several substantial commercial sponsors one after another.

But the most meaningful thing is to reach a consensus with the jersey sponsor.

Barcelona’s shirt sponsorship was signed in 1998 for a ten-year period and expired in 2008.

Although there are still two years to go, for a team like Barcelona, ​​it is definitely the target of sponsors. So during the time in the United States, the jersey sponsors 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, requesting that the sponsorship be increased from 15 million euros per year to 30 million euros. This will be the most significant in world football. A sponsorship.

The shirt sponsor also said this time that they hope to start negotiations as soon as possible.

However, it is a pity that Barcelona is currently 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 euro sponsorship contract with the boot sponsor. This is the most amazing sponsorship ever in the football field, and it can be said that it shocked the entire sports world.

When Kobe had a private chat with Su Dong, 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, and it is not even as good as the new James.

Su Dong’s sponsorship also shocked everyone.

According to the general practice, behind the high sponsorship fee, the contract period is often longer.

But this does not apply to Su Dong, because his new contract is only five years old.

That is to say, in the next five years, Su Dong can withdraw 100 million euros in sponsorship fees from the sponsor's pocket, which is definitely a veritable big attractor.

The whole world is amazed, but only Su Dong himself knows that the key reason for being able to sign so high is still competition.

The sponsor met an opponent, and didn't want to miss Su Dong, so they could only keep raising the offer.

……

From New York to Spain, Barcelona can be said to be on the go.

The club will also prepare to participate in the Spanish Super Cup, against the Spaniards, but after going out for a month and returning to Barcelona, ​​everyone clearly felt the changes in the club atmosphere.

Laporta and others temporarily suspended the chairman and presidium positions, Soriano and other professionals continue to run the team, technical director Begiristan also continues to manage the athletics department, but many things have to be temporarily suspended.

The upcoming presidential election also makes the club panic. U U Reading

Both Laporta and Roselle announced that they would run for the election, and both of them also put forward their own guidelines for the election, from how to run 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 Gamber Sports City the day after the team returned to Barcelona. They told all the players that the presidential election would not affect the team’s operation and performance, and hope that the players will not Consider the disturbances from the outside world and focus on the game.

"We will create a relaxed and stable environment for the team!"

Soriano also made a promise on behalf of the team that he will provide a generous reward system for the results of the new season, and hope everyone will continue to encourage.

Beijistan, as the technical director, also gave some encouraging words.

The presidential election can be held at this time. If it doesn't affect the team, that's impossible.

……

At the same time that Barcelona returned to Spain, the sensation caused by the team in North America, especially the Soviet Union and East in the United States, also attracted strong attention in European football.

The most important thing is the sky-high sponsorship contract, which makes everyone feel the influence of being the world's number one football player.

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 directly stunned him!

"Is he crazy?" Santi Nora sank back into the office chair, unable to speak for a long time.
