Chapter 337 Real Madrid Is Out, Li Ang Goes Home?
"I can't wait to play with you! Luis, we can definitely create a big scene. With you joining, I am full of confidence in winning the Premier League and the Champions League again next year..."
After Chelsea and Liverpool announced Suarez's transfer to Chelsea at the same time, Li Ang called Suarez directly only 5 minutes later.
During this period, Li Ang and Suarez often talked on the phone. The two chatted a lot and their relationship was already very familiar.
But at this moment, Li Ang felt the sincerity of calling to "congratulate" him at the first time.
Listening to Li Ang's various "sincere" praises, Suarez still couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and his mouth was almost closed with laughter.
This summer window, he would choose Chelsea so straightforwardly and decisively, which actually had a lot to do with Li Ang's phone offensive.
You know, it wasn't just Li Ang who called him to communicate with him some time ago.
Messi and Neymar from Barcelona also called him from time to time to persuade him to consider going to Barcelona.
He was quite hesitant at first, but in the end he couldn't resist Li Ang's enthusiasm and earnest invitation!
And Li Ang is really good at praising people.
He has stayed in Liverpool for so many years, but he has received very few honors.
He believes that his strength is no worse than other so-called top center forwards in football, but the huge gap in fame makes him more eager to gain the recognition of fans and media reporters.
If Sterling praised him on the side, saying how strong he is and that staying in Liverpool is a waste of talent, then he would just smile at most.
But the recognition of Li Ang and Mourinho is completely different!
One is the current No. 1 midfielder and the No. 1 player in football in 15 years who will surely win the Golden Ball Award at the beginning of next year!
The other is the No. 1 coach in the world with five Champions League titles in hand!
Being recognized and praised by such a person, Suarez immediately felt that his mental exhaustion over the years had been effectively treated...
So it's not that settling in Barcelona is not attractive enough, nor is Messi's personal charm not strong enough, it's really that the Chelsea master and apprentice are too good at praising people!
In addition, after working hard in the Premier League for so many years, Suarez also wants to achieve something in the Premier League.
Sometimes the Champions League champion really depends on luck, but Chelsea is now the real Premier League overlord, and the probability of him joining Chelsea to win the Premier League championship is still quite high.
He has done his best for Liverpool.
Not only did he stay for another year to lead the striker, but he also left Liverpool with a transfer fee of nearly 100 million euros. Who can say that he has no conscience?
At least compared to Van Persie at the beginning, he is not considered to be surrendering to the enemy, and there is nothing dirty between him and the Liverpool fan group.
For him and his agent team behind him, being able to successfully join Chelsea is already the best outcome of this summer window...
After Suarez, the hottest commodity this summer, was gone from the transfer market, the transfer rumors of all kinds also died down for a while.
However, this year, all the major giants have shown their generous wallets and shouted in the market that they want to strengthen, and the fans are not worried that there will be no big transfer melons to eat later.
Let’s not talk about other teams. Barcelona, which failed to compete with Chelsea for Suarez, has a huge sum of 80 to 90 million euros in its hands, waiting to buy high-quality center forwards and young midfielders!
Ahem… Although other teams that know that Barcelona has a huge amount of money are also waiting to slaughter them~
But those are not important!
The important thing is that Barcelona really wants to strengthen this summer window, and then regain the face lost to Chelsea before!
Whether they can win after strengthening is one thing, but as a European giant, maintaining this momentum of revenge is the most important.
Li Ang doesn’t know the huge resentment that the top management of the Barcelona club has towards him and Chelsea.
After helping Uncle Bird to get Suarez’s summer transfer, he is busy running personal summer business activities in China.
Two weeks ago, under the matchmaking of Mendes, he and Ronaldo joined forces in the United States and completed a wave of strong commercial promotion.
There are not many football fans in the United States in proportion, but there are a lot of people who like celebrities and like to watch fun.
Li Ang and C Ronaldo are both well-known football stars with tall stature and handsome looks. Their appearance is very popular in the United States.
This wave of cooperation has caused a huge sensation in the United States.
After signing a wave of endorsement orders, Li Ang and C Ronaldo have bulging pockets and returned with full loads, and Mendes is even more smiling.
Of course, the various commercial promotions that Li Ang participated in after returning to China in July are the biggest interests of Mendes now.
That is to say, there was a little problem in the negotiation of interests this time, and it did not match with the various financial sponsors in China.
Otherwise, the joint promotion of C Ronaldo and Li Ang would not have appeared in the United States first. China is the big market that Mendes is most optimistic about and pays the most attention to now.
After winning the Premier League twice and successfully proving that he won the Champions League in Chelsea.
Li Ang's popularity in China is now completely the first in the gap, far exceeding all cultural and sports stars.
Corresponding to his skyrocketing popularity is naturally his commercial value that has skyrocketed again.
Li Ang himself did not expect that this time, after he led the team to win the Champions League as the core, he could cause such a strong sensation in China!
Just last year, he and his agency team completed the contract renewal negotiations and offered a one-year endorsement contract of 9 figures in Chinese yuan to a certain domestic giant enterprise.
On the night when he won the Champions League for the third time, he urgently contacted Mendes and asked to extend the original two-year endorsement contract to four years, and the endorsement amount was doubled!
The conditions offered by the other party directly hit Mendes dizzy, and other Chinese giants followed closely with similar renewal requests...
Even if Li Ang now excludes annual salary and bonuses, and only counts commercial endorsement income, it is almost close to the sum of Messi and Ronaldo's annual income!
Mendes estimates that after Li Ang receives the Golden Ball Award at the beginning of next year, his annual income in 2016 will completely surpass the sum of Messi and Ronaldo's income.
This will be a very scary income figure in the sports field.
However, the profit income that Mendes is excited about is really just a string of numbers in Li Ang's eyes today.
He has no interest in luxury goods and expensive real estate.
In addition to running business activities during his vacation, he also prefers to find friends he knows to travel privately and low-key.
It can be said that in addition to his hungry pursuit of championship honors on the court, Li Ang has always been a very Buddhist person in private.
When the money reaches a certain level, he is not really interested in it. It is OK as long as he, his family and his lover can live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
So he is willing to invest in various charities now.
So much so that Mendes often teases him now, asking him if he wants to be a "saint".
Being a saint is really too tiring. Li Ang thinks that he does not have such a high moral standard now.
After taking off the halo of a football superstar, he feels that he is just an ordinary person.
If he retires in the future, the media and fans will think of him again and give him an evaluation of "an interesting and good person" when they evaluate him, he will be very satisfied~
After completing domestic commercial activities in mid-July, Li Ang did not even have time to complete the second extra training, and directly returned to the Cobham training base to participate in the team's pre-season training.
This summer, he only trained for 10 days in late June, which is the shortest off-season with extra training days since he embarked on his professional career.
However, now his various abilities have developed quite evenly, without any obvious shortcomings, so he doesn't need to seize the time to improve his abilities as he did in the past offseason.
Keeping his form is the most important thing for him at the moment.
After returning to the Cobham training base, he quickly passed the team doctor's physical examination, and then met and got familiar with his new and old teammates.
Suarez arrived at the training base a day earlier than him.
To be honest, Li Ang felt a little strange when he saw Suarez wearing Chelsea training clothes.
As Suarez's most familiar new teammate in Chelsea, Li Ang was also very active in bringing him into the new team and living environment.
After the first day of pre-season training, he organized a barbecue dinner to welcome Suarez, who had just joined the team.
At the dinner, he also took the initiative to ask Suarez if he had found a house and a school for his children near London.
He didn't know much about this, but he could entrust Mendes to help Suarez settle down as soon as possible.
After some intimate communication and inquiry, the relationship between Suarez and Li Ang became closer.
However, before Li Ang could further bring Suarez and other Chelsea players closer, something that he didn't know whether it was happiness or trouble came to him.
The morning after Li Ang returned to London to participate in the team's pre-season training, Mendes suddenly flew to London to find him.
"Are you kidding, Jorge? Did the chairman really say that to you?"
Li Ang was very surprised. The chairman he mentioned was not Abramovich, but Florentino, the chairman of Real Madrid.
"Yes, I'm sure! Li Ang, Mr. Perez did ask me about the possibility of taking you back to the Bernabeu this summer. He called me last night, so I came to you directly as soon as I arrived in London this morning."
Mendes' tone was a little tired. I think he was also shocked by the call from the old man last night and didn't rest well all night.
Bringing Li Ang back to Real Madrid has always been a very tempting choice for Mendes.
But the timing of the old man's inquiry this time was somewhat inappropriate.
If they had discussed this matter earlier, Mendes could have discussed it with Mourinho and Abramovich in advance.
Even if it was unlikely that they would let Li Ang return to Real Madrid, there was at least room for maneuver.
Now that Chelsea's pre-season training has begun, the old man suddenly wants someone, and Mendes can't get past Mourinho alone.
Li Ang didn't think too much about it, and finally decided to call the old man himself to decline.
For both public and private reasons, he couldn't leave Chelsea and Mourinho this season.
Originally, Li Ang thought that after he called the old man, this matter would be silent under the transfer wave, without a sound.
But he still didn't expect that only two days later, Marca would exclusively disclose the news that the old man invited him to transfer back to Real Madrid!
Real Madrid was silent for a month during the transfer period, but in the end it made a big splash and directly made a big news!
Chelsea's fans were panicked, but across the sea in Madrid, Spain, countless Real Madrid fans cheered excitedly!
"We want a little lion!
The Bernabeu wants to welcome back the real Prince of Real Madrid!"
