The second player's background is even greater, he is Chelsea's monster Drogba.
When it comes to Drogba, a player, he is known as an omnipotent monster, but in fact there are still a lot of exaggerations.
The British are the best at advocating and like to create stars. Players with strong impact characteristics like Drogba are naturally called monsters, which means they are unstoppable.
But what about actually?
We don't look at fame or luck, only the results.
Drogba has been racing in the Premier League for so many years, but all he has won is the Premier League championship, and he has not performed well in the Champions League at all.
A truly top-notch striker is someone like Maradona, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Baggio, or Messi who is a killer and can directly lead the team forward with his own strength.
Drogba has so many good helpers and an extremely outstanding coach, but he still cannot show his strength in the international arena for a long time, which proves that there is a lot of bragging.
Of course, Drogba can be regarded as a first-class forward in the world today. As a fulcrum and a powerful striker, he has his own advantages and can achieve great success in the Premier League.
However, players who rely on their bodies to make a living will decline rapidly once they get older and their physical fitness declines.
Just like his "Buffalo" Essien, who is known as having "four lungs", he was a super strong defensive midfielder in the first two years, but suddenly he became a has-been player with a series of injuries and a rapid decline in form.
.
Moreover, his mentor Mourinho has left Chelsea in the past two years. The new coach is very dissatisfied with this player who has a high salary but does not always score many goals. Recently, his playing time has become much less.
.
Football is so cruel. No matter how brilliant a star you were in the past, once you are no longer useful, those teams will throw you away like garbage. There are very few times when a player can die happily in a club.
, especially the forward players.
So don't blame the players for always coveting big contracts and high salaries. If they don't play football anymore, how will they make a living in the future?
This is why Ronaldo, Figo, Kahn and other superstars are willing to come to China to play football.
Three to five years is tens of millions of euros, enough to last a lifetime!
Football stars usually don't use their money alone. They have many relatives and friends who help them use the money.
For example, Michael Owen, after he became famous, he bought a house on a street so that his relatives and friends could live together.
South American players usually support a large family of more than a dozen people, including parents, relatives, etc.
In contrast, players in Africa have a greater burden than players in South America. They are basically responsible for the people of a village, and some even support a small tribe.
Drogba is such a person who bears the burden of the lives of hundreds of relatives, friends and neighbors.
Since Africans basically have no concept of investment, financial management, and hard work, they basically take the money back and use it, and they don’t need it again... Such a cycle.
Therefore, Drogba has made a lot of money over the years, but he still does not have much savings. Once he stops playing football, although his family still has real estate and financial products, which are enough to live a prosperous life, these people will not be able to live a prosperous life.
It means that everything will return to prehistory at once.
At this time, the Sichuan Fairies gave him a salary of 8 million euros, plus enough winning bonuses, with a guaranteed income of at least 10 million euros a year, and a five-year contract. How could Drogba miss such a good thing?
?
Chelsea is not short of money and they are eager to give up this half-experienced high-paid forward, so Lippi only paid a symbolic transfer fee of 5 million euros and got the club's recognition.
But when Drogba initialed the contract, he still couldn't imagine that if he didn't leave, just one year later, the Champions League trophy he dreamed of would fall on his head.
In his previous life, he came to China to play football for money just after winning the Champions League trophy.
In this generation, Xiao Qi was much more kind and generous than Shenhua, so Drogba didn't hesitate much and simply came over.
This is what is called gains and losses.
Park Ji-sung and Didier Drogba were expected gains, but the third top-notch star was an unexpected surprise.
He is one of the top three midfielders in the Premier League and Liverpool’s eternal captain Gerrard!
In his previous life, Gerrard had said he wanted to leave since 2010. He couldn't bear the fact that Liverpool had not had a championship for so many years and was under too much pressure. He wanted to join a team that could win the championship.
But this team is definitely not a British team, because it cannot be an enemy of its own Liverpool.
However, the trip was still not possible by the end of 2013.
Figo has already told Xiao Qi that he will retire at the end of the 2011 Chinese Super League season at the latest.
Because he is almost 40 years old at this time, no matter how much he relies on experience to play football,
Xiao Qi wants a tough midfielder with good breakthroughs, tough defense, and the ability to organize offense.
Among them, Lampard and Gerrard from the Premier League are both very good, but Xiao Qi thought it would be Lampard who came over, not the more loyal Gerrard.
"It's very simple." Lippi smiled and explained the reason: "First, I bribed the owner of their club, spent 40 million euros in transfer fees, and reached an agreement with the club. Then I approached Gerald
Germany's agent gave Gerrard a salary of 8 million euros, plus a championship bonus of 5 million euros, and commercial sponsorship of 15 million euros, totaling a yearly income of 28 million euros, plus a five-year contract.
Gerrard wasn't very tempted, but his agent could get a red envelope of 5 million euros, and he was Gerrard's good friend for more than 20 years, so he gave me an idea to find you.
His good friend Duke Sage. Duke Sage has a very high reputation in the English football world. With his guarantee, Gerrard knew that even if he was in China, he would definitely be able to participate in the 2012 European Cup and the 2014 World Cup.
He was moved.
To put it bluntly, after so many years of trophyless career and so many years of injuries, Gerrard's love for Liverpool is not that deep. Especially at the end of his career, he needs to be more considerate for himself and himself.
The family thinks about it. Haha, 28 million euros a year, which is 140 million euros in five years, how many people can afford this kind of money?
Before initialing the contract with us, Gerrard's agent also had two requirements. The first was that he would not come until he finished this season; the second was that the club must come forward and say that they had to sell him, and
He threatened that if he didn't transfer, there would be no place for him in the future and he would be put on the bench. For the sake of money, the American boss readily agreed."
Xiao Qi nodded when he heard this: "If it were not an American boss, but a British one, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to buy Gerrard!"
"Who says it's not the case? Their business in the United States was hit hard by the financial crisis and the subprime mortgage crisis, and the losses were too heavy." Lippi said: "If possible, they are willing to sell the Liverpool team to you.
What the hell is a 30-year-old veteran?"
"So I like to do business with Americans. As long as the price is enough, then anything can be bought and sold." Xiao Qi said harmoniously.
At first glance, the purchase of Gerrard was very expensive. It actually cost 40 million euros, which was more expensive than Xiao Qi's previous purchases of Pirlo and others.
But Gerrard's status is different. He is the double captain of Liverpool and the England team, and has great fame all over the world. This alone is enough to make the Sichuan Fairy team famous again and attract attention.
At least seven or eight more British journalists will be stationed in Sichuan, which will greatly enhance the reputation of the Sichuan Fairy Team in the UK.
As for salary, Gerrard's salary is not as good as that of previous superstars. For example, Ronaldo's annual income directly exceeds 60 million euros. 28 million euros a year is really nothing.
Don't think that Xiao Qi is the kind of person who has suffered a huge loss and is the kind of person who spends a lot of money to take advantage of him.
Xiao Qi is actually very smart.
Take Ronaldo for example. After he came to the Sichuan Fairy Team, his image rights were sold to the Sichuan Fairy Team. Every product of the Fairy Company can use him for advertising.
In South America, Ronaldo is regarded as the king of football, so the publicity effect in South America is very good, and it is more eye-catching than a big star hired for 5 million euros. Well, whether it is a print advertisement, a TV advertisement or a paper advertisement
In advertising, Fairy Company has used it to the extreme, with dozens of advertisements centered around him.
Then, Fairy Company also signed multiple advertising contracts with advertisers in China, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and other countries, with a net income of more than 38 million euros.
Calculated in this way, Fairy Company earned more than 40 million yuan from advertising. The actual salary paid to Ronaldo is less than 20 million euros to hire a superstar like Ronaldo. 20 million euros a year is absolutely incredible.
Worth it.
Not just Ronaldo, but all superstars are like this, including Park Ji-sung, Gerrard and Drogba who are about to join.
Give full play to their commercial value, let them make money for the Fairy Company in all aspects, and make the Sichuan Fairy Team famous. This effect itself is greater than the effect of money!
Today's Sichuan Fairies team has long been well-known in the football world.
In the near future, as more and more high-level first-class stars and superstars join, the Shuchuan Fairies will surely become a truly world-class club! (To be continued ~^~)
