Chapter 183: Get Rich
After the game, the Roma players thanked the Roman fans who came to the scene, and bowed to the fans together.
The players lined up, and Zhang Tiehan was the tallest and stood on the right. Many Roman fans cheered for him. Hearing these cheers, Zhang Tiehan was also very excited.
After coming to Rome, he had basically no communication with the fans. It was not like Wigan. There were too many fans in Rome. Often, he had to wear a hat when walking on the street, otherwise it would be a trouble to be recognized, especially after a derby match with Lazio, it would be even more trouble to be recognized by Lazio fans. Another point is that Zhang Tiehan can only communicate with barely in Italian, and it is difficult to communicate with these local fans in Rome.
But Zhang Tiehan was still very happy to see that there were so many fans supporting him, which proved his success in Rome.
Since coming to Rome, he first encountered the unlucky Waller, and the team also had one problem after another, temporary coach change, tactical problems, etc. These made Zhang Tiehan feel that it was a mistake to come to Rome. But now seeing tens of thousands of fans calling his names, Zhang Tiehan felt that Rome was really coming right.
"Look, they are all calling your name." De Rossi was a little envious. He was a player trained in the Rome youth training, but he has not received such treatment so far.
Zhang Tiehan said instead, "If you wave to them, they will cheer at you!"
"Is that?" De Rossi was a little uncertain.
"You can try."
De Rossi tried to wave his hand, and the fans in the stands responded a lot. This made De Rossi very excited, and he said excitedly. "Zhang, you still have a way!"
Zhang Tiehan couldn't help rolling his eyes.
He is not as old as De Rossi, but in Wigan Athletics and Roma, there are always people who say bad things about him, but his performance is quite good. Naturally, he knows how to communicate with fans. A guy like De Rossi can do nothing but play football. He is just a young player from the youth team.
But this method is not possible for anyone. De Rossi scored two goals in the game and was the best player in this game. When he waved to you, the fans would naturally respond. If it were Ferrari and others who performed averagely, the fans would probably have very few responses. The scene must be embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tiehan couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?" asked Ferrari.
Zhang Tiehan was embarrassed and waved his hand quickly, "It's okay, I just think the fans are too enthusiastic." He was afraid to look at Ferrari, for fear that the latter would guess what he was thinking.
After another, the players bowed to the fans together.
When everyone walked out of the stadium together, many fans shouted at Zhang Tiehan near the player passage--
"Zhang! Zhang! Zhang!"
Zhang Tiehan waved his hand and responded enthusiastically. He was like a triumphant hero, welcomed by the people. This scene surprised Camille sitting in the stands.
After Camille became Zhang Tiehan's assistant, she started working. Her work is mainly to develop the commercial value of Zhang Tiehan. In recent days, her work has begun. Many Italian and even European brand companies have contacted him, and there are even major international companies, including Nike and Adidas and other sports brands. At present, Zhang Tiehan does not have any commercial contracts. In Camille's view, he is a gold mine that has not done any development. All she needs to do is to make the gold mine produce the greatest value.
She has some work experience in this regard, but it is also a challenge for her.
But in fact, she didn't know much about Zhang Tiehan. There were some reports about Zhang Tiehan in Germany, but she didn't know very clearly, so she came to the scene to watch a few games. When she saw so many Roman fans shouting Zhang Tiehan's name, she was also a little shocked.
At the beginning, Camille thought that Zhang Tiehan was just a better player. Like many European stars, Zhang Tiehan is just an ordinary player and can become the main player of Rome. That's all, there are too many such players in Europe.
But now, she doesn't think so.
She suddenly felt that some of the plans she had made before should be modified and that Zhang Tiehan's value could not be characterized. Otherwise, if Zhang Tiehan grows further in the future, these agreed contracts would be her work mistakes.
For example, now, Adidas is willing to pay $3 million to buy out Zhang Tiehan's three-year endorsement fee, and customize a pair of stars for Zhang Tiehan for sale, with a share of the profit.
It seems that the conditions are still good now, but think about it, if Zhang Tiehan's net worth doubles next year, then $300 is nothing. In today's football world, England's Beckham's annual advertising endorsement fee alone will exceed $15 million. In terms of sports brands, Adidas's contract to Beckham is almost the same as the level of a big American NBA star, while Zhang Tiehan only has a pitiful three million in three years... The gap is really big.
If this contract is signed, it means that Zhang Tiehan's endorsement fee for sports brands will be fixed in the next three years. No matter how valuable he is or what his reputation is in a year, the contract cannot be changed. This is a mistake in Camille's work.
"It seems that the endorsement negotiations for big brands will slow down a little..." Camille thought.
...
After the match against Regina, the media reported on Roma's game against Roma, Zhang Tiehan's direct free kick of 40 meters, which was the biggest highlight of the game. Although the ball was not scored, the ball was really shocking. Even Regina's coach Mazari said at the press conference, "I felt incredible when I saw Berardi defending the goal. With such a ball, Berardi made a god-level save, but unfortunately we were not very lucky."
"Congratulations to Roma, he got a world-class player."
I don't know if he refers to Montera who scored or Zhang Tiehan who played set-up ball, but Mazarri's meaning has been clearly expressed, that is, he was amazed at Zhang Tiehan's shot, which is enough.
So the media began to hype this.
After the game against Palermo, the media reported on Al Shawen's goal. Chen Yingxiong's direct shot in the middle circle was the highlight of the goal. Of course, Al Shawen's resolute breakthrough is also the key.
Many media reported that this goal, a goal that was not scored, became the hottest topic in Serie A this round, which also created a small miracle.
In addition, many media also praised Zhang Tiehan's performance.
"After he came on the court, Roma seemed to have changed his team."
"It's hard to believe that Roma in the first and second half was a team, and the performance of the two was too different. Roma and Regina did not have the advantage in the first half of the game, but Regina could only defend in the second half, and it all depends on one player-Zhang."
"For Roma, Zhang is already an indispensable player. When Totti was injured, Zhang became the spiritual leader of the team."
"With Zhang present, Rome has the confidence to win."
And so on, many comments are all there.
In addition, some media have also expressed concerns about Roma's overall performance. Although he defeated Regina, Roma's overall performance is indeed not good, which is an indisputable fact. In terms of defense, Regina scored two goals in the first half, which has a lot to do with the problems with Roma's defense. On the offense, even if Zhang Tiehan appears, their midfielder still seems weak. Although De Rossi's performance is excellent, he has a gap with Totti after all. To be honest, the present of Roma's midfield belongs to Totti. Perhaps De Rossi will be the future, but it definitely cannot represent the present.
...
Just as the media was talking, Zhang Tiehan was accepting a banquet from the Laosen Department at the estate of club chairman Franco Sensi.
This was the first time he had eaten alone with Sensi.
The old chairman Franco Sensi is a native Roman with a tough personality and no compromise. His catchphrase is "I am a Roman from Rome."
The relationship between the Sensi family and Rome can be traced back to the 1920s, when Franco's father Silvio invested in this local team. Franco started his career in the hotel industry and finally made a fortune by relying on the oil business. He founded the Italian Petroleum Company, which had a maximum value of $2.2 billion.
On November 8, 1993, Old Sensi officially acquired Rome and became the club chairman. In the era when northern giants AC Milan and Juventus dominated Serie A, Sensi's Rome became the banner of the southern team's resistance to the northern powers. Whether in team management or player trading, Old Sensi has challenged the Berlusconi and the Agnelli family many times. It can be said that Sensi's entry into Rome has changed the pattern of Serie A to a certain extent.
The most glorious moment was in 2000. Lao Senxi relied on the funds raised by the club's listing. Rome successively introduced famous stars such as Batistuta, Samuel and Emerson, and they also trained their own local flag bearer Toti.
Under Capello, Roma beat Juventus in the 2000-01 season to win the third Serie A championship in the team's history. In the second season, Roma took advantage of the victory to pursue them. They defeated Fiorentina 3-0 in 2001 to win the Italian Super Cup. At this time, Roma of the Sensi family reached a peak.
But the good times did not last long. Due to the bursting of the Italian football bubble, the company's stock price fell all the way. Rome's operations were in crisis, and the Petroleum Company of the Sensi family was also in huge debts.
This is why there were economic problems in Rome.
The tenacious Lao Senxin could sell the equity of his company to offset the debt, and was not willing to sell the Rome Club. He hoped to maintain the team. Although the business is bleak, he could barely support it.
Although family management and club management encountered difficulties, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Lao Senxi's manor is still very good. It is stored in the suburbs of Rome, and the value of such a manor is probably able to buy a good player.
