Chapter 774 Astronomical Numbers
At twelve o'clock local time, Yang Yang, accompanied by Raiola, walked out of the Madrid Capital Airport.
Hundreds of media reporters from all over the world, as well as more than a thousand Real Madrid fans, as well as passengers entering and leaving Madrid's capital airport, all cheered for Yang Yang's arrival.
He is finally here!
Like a king, he came to Madrid!
Yang Yang did not have any interaction with fans or the media on the spot, and was directly invited by Real Madrid staff to get into the car and went directly to La Moraleja Hospital near the airport for a medical examination.
This is one of the best hospitals in Madrid and has a long-term partnership with Real Madrid.
Carlos Dias, the director of Real Madrid's medical team, has brought the medical team to prepare in the hospital. As soon as Yang Yang arrived, he immediately conducted a comprehensive physical examination.
Blood test, urine test, electrocardiogram, B-ultrasound...
After a series of detailed tests, Yang Yang, accompanied by Carlos Dias, walked out of the hospital and appeared again in front of the media reporters and fans who were chasing after him, but he only showed one side and left in the car.
"Yang Yang's physical condition is very good. I seem to see that he is still training every day during the vacation. He is obviously looking forward to the arrival of the new season!" Carlos Dias, who remained at the scene, announced to the media.
...
From La Mora Reja Hospital to the Bernabeu, the journey is not far, passing through Madrid's four-tower business district on the way.
The Real Madrid staff sitting in the front row also specifically told Yang Yang that there was Real Madrid's old sports city. When Florentino took charge of Real Madrid for the first time, he sold the sports city in exchange for a large sum of money. Funds to help Real Madrid pay off its debt.
Today, the Four Towers business district has become a famous commercial landmark in Madrid.
When Yang Yang came to the Bernabeu, he found that the place was already crowded with people, and the crowd of fans was like a tide, surrounding the Bernabeu, and even the traffic on the main urban road around the stadium was affected.
This enthusiasm surprised Yang Yang who was sitting in the car, but what surprised him even more was yet to come.
"What you see now is not all." The receptionist sitting in the front row said proudly.
"What's the meaning?"
"There are no tickets for this fan meeting, and the seats are on a first-come-first-served basis. The club has also started the countdown for tonight's debut a week ago. Real Madrid TV and major Spanish TV stations have been reporting at length. , this once again stirred the emotions of the fans."
"According to the stadium security, some fans have been trying to get in since last night, and at four o'clock this morning, a group of young college fans made a special trip to Madrid for more than six hours, trying to get in. Bernabeu."
When Yang Yang heard this, the whole person was surprised, is this an exaggeration?
"Isn't the attendance at the Bernabeu more than 80,000?" Yang Yang asked.
"Yes, but everyone wants to grab the front row, because there will be some interaction at that time, and you see, there are still a few hours before the joining ceremony, but the bottom row in the stadium has long been It has been looted, and it is initially estimated that there are more than 10,000 fans inside, and now these are still coming in continuously."
Yang Yang and Raiola glanced at each other, and both noticed the jaw-dropping look in the other's eyes.
He was still worried that since the debut ceremony was on a weekday, it was more unfavorable than the debut ceremony of Kaka and Ibrahimovic. He was worried about whether there would be enough fans to come. Kaka and Ibrahimovic are about the same number, at least not too embarrassing.
But now it seems that he has far underestimated the enthusiasm of Real Madrid fans.
...
After entering the Bernabeu parking lot from the internal passage, it was Real Madrid's new director Valdano who received Yang Yang.
He invited Yang Yang to his office. First, he expressed the welcome to Yang Yang from Real Madrid and the Bernabeu. At the same time, he also handed him a schedule of the Bernabeu joining ceremony. By the way, he also introduced the specific situation of the Bernabeu.
Not long after that, Zidane also came to Valdano's office. He was more familiar with Yang Yang, and naturally there were more topics when meeting. The discussion was nothing more than the specific situation of Real Madrid this season.
Valdano and Zidane are Florentino's right-hand men. They both know Yang Yang's position and weight in Florentino's brand-new galactic battleship, and Yang Yang is still second to none in the world of football. Number one superstar.
It can be said that this player is basically cared for by the whole team at Real Madrid.
Yang Yang and Zidane have known each other for many years. Although the friendship between the two is not too deep, they both play for Real Madrid now. Naturally, they can speak freely. Zidane also carefully conveyed to Yang Yang his experience during his time at Real Madrid.
For Zidane, Yang Yang's most recognized thing is his behavior. Even in the later years of the Galaxy Battleship Phase I, he did not get involved in the club's dispute over the interests of the club, and he focused more on football, which is worthwhile. Yang Yang study.
And Zidane also highly respects Yang Yang, and even thinks that Yang Yang's current achievements have surpassed him, which makes Yang Yang flattered and polite.
Valdano is also a veteran of the football world. He was Maradona's teammate back then, and his coaching career was also very successful, especially when he was coaching Tenerife that year, he attacked Real Madrid in the last round for two consecutive seasons. Real Madrid missed the league title, and finally, along with Redondo, was dug up by then Real Madrid president Mendoza to Real Madrid.
Then, Valdano led Real Madrid to a 5-0 rout of Barcelona in his first season.
It can be said that he has achieved quite good achievements both as a player and as a head coach, and he was also the big housekeeper in the first few years of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship. During the communication with him, Yang Yang also gained a lot.
...
During dinner, Yang Yang, accompanied by Zidane and Valdano, came to the restaurant at Gate 57 inside the Bernabeu Stadium.
Here, senior Real Madrid executives such as Manuel Redondo, Jose Sanchez, Butragueno, and Padesa, as well as veterans such as the honorary chairman of the club Di Stefano, have all been present.
This is the first time Yang Yang has met them. Naturally, a few polite greetings are inevitable, and Yang Yang's humble and friendly attitude has been unanimously recognized by everyone. Although he does not talk much, he is not withdrawn. Feiyang, fully in line with the outside world's evaluation of him.
A dinner was enjoyed by the guests and the host, and they were very happy.
At 19:30, the Bernabeu was already full, and everyone was waiting for the appearance of the protagonist tonight.
At this time, Yang Yang, accompanied by Valdano, Zidane, Di Stefano and others, appeared in the office of Real Madrid President Florentino. Yang Yang Florentino also signed a five-year contract.
Not only that, Florentino also gave Yang Yang a precious watch full of commemorative value, a precious pen for signing, and a model of the Bernabeu, all of which were left to Yang Yang as a souvenir.
"Thank you so much for joining us, boy."
After signing the autograph, Florentino smiled and shook hands and hugged Yang Yang. It is said that he has been in an indescribably good mood recently.
"On behalf of Real Madrid, I thank you for the choice you made, it must have been a wise choice, because here you will be a great player and tonight at the Bernabeu you will definitely feel what the Real Madrid fans have for you. love."
"Thank you, Florentino, I have deeply felt it." Yang Yang replied politely.
During the whole day in Madrid, almost everywhere Yang Yang walked, there would be enthusiastic Real Madrid fans waiting for him.
But Florentino still shook his head, "No, what you saw today is not enough."
Yang Yang was at a loss.
"I just met a friend from Adidas and he gave me a message that I'm sure you'll be interested in."
Yang Yang smiled and nodded.
"From the time we announced your joining to now, in just two days, there are 2,400 outlets in Spain that can apply to Adidas for your genuine jersey order, which will wait until we announce your jersey number. to the fans, and so far, more than 50,000 fans have paid for their orders.”
"fifty thousand?"
Not only Yang Yang was surprised, but even Valdano and Zidane were equally shocked.
This is an astronomical number.
And it's only in Spain, what about Europe? What about the world?
Only Jose Sanchez of the Ministry of Commerce, who always kept a confident smile, was clearly prepared for it.
"This is not counting the sales of 3,000 sales outlets. The specific statistics will only be higher. In addition, tonight, our fan shop at the Bernabeu also prepared 20,000 No. 11 jerseys with numbers and names printed. Sales will be officially opened after the unveiling ceremony."
Yang Yang smiled wryly. According to his understanding, a genuine Adidas jersey sells for 100 euros. That is to say, before others have joined, Real Madrid has already earned 5 million euros from the sales of jerseys. Adidas is divided into, but also a considerable number.
Of course, this part belongs to Real Madrid's income, and Yang Yang has no right to intervene, but then Yang Yang will cooperate with Real Madrid and Adidas in other fields, such as the development of Yang Yang's special edition clothing, which will be divided for him.
But either way, he still finds it outrageous, something he couldn't have imagined when he was at Liverpool.
In Spain, there were 50,000 fans snapping up his jersey in advance, and tonight, it is said that the Bernabeu Stadium will be full, and there are tens of thousands of fans outside who cannot enter the stadium and are forced to stay outside the stadium. , watch the live broadcast on the big screen.
At the same time, Spanish TV predicts that in this country with only 40 million people, more than 20 million people will watch the live broadcast of Yang Yang's debut ceremony tonight, which is close to half.
Even, for the first time, the Madrid city government imposed traffic control on the neighborhoods around the Bernabeu Stadium on non-match days, and arranged more than a thousand security guards on the scene to guard and maintain order.
All of this tonight is just for his appearance!
For Yang Yang, this is really an unprecedented feeling, even touching.
