London.

It is not the first time Zhang Tiehan has come here, but this time is different from the past. He has come to London as a visiting player before. Now he is here again, as a player who is about to join Chelsea. He is also following a group of people, including his girlfriend Lola, cousin Zhang Zhenren, Camille and a group of reporters who are rushing over. Some reporters even follow from Germany to Liverpool, from Liverpool to London. They are like Zhang Tiehan's "private" reporters, filming all Zhang Tiehan's recent activities.

Zhang Tiehan originally didn't want these reporters to follow, but after the World Cup, his fame rose one step further. Beckham advised him to "treat" reporters, at least give reporters the right to interview, so that he can become famous further... Of course, the most important thing is to make more money, and this reason completely touched him.

But so.

In the past few days, he has been the focus of attention in England. His every move will be on the major media pages. Even if he drives away these reporters, they will shoot secretly behind their backs. Instead of doing this, let them follow them openly. Anyway, it will be just these days. When they officially join Chelsea, everything will be much better.

Zhang Tiehan and Zhang Zhenren walked in front.

They had just got off the plane, and thousands of fans rushed over to welcome them at the airport. When they got off the plane, Zhang Tiehan felt very comforted. When he saw these many fans, he was actually a little nervous when he came to a new place. No matter what, these fans used to be a mortal enemy, but now he has become a member of Chelsea. These fans rushed over to welcome him. He must sigh, "The life of professional players is really complicated and changeable."

Of course, he had long been used to it.

Standing in the aisle of the plane, Zhang Tiehan pointed below and asked his cousin, "Brother, do you think I should jump down now and then put on a handsome pose, just like... like a master of martial arts novels. Then he pulled out a sword from behind and pointed at them and said, 'I am the best in the world'! That must be very handsome..."

"They will treat you as a fool." Zhang Zhenren rolled his eyes.

Zhang Tiehan nodded, "What a pity, these Europeans should find it difficult to understand the style of martial arts masters..." He was really impulsive to do that. He naturally practiced hard qigong, and his physical fitness, jumped from a few meters away. He would not be as handsome as martial arts masters, at least he would not hurt himself.

The two of them said that they had already walked off the plane. They greeted the fans, and then under the arrangement of the staff, they held a small-scale signature ceremony. After taking photos with several lucky fans, Zhang Tiehan left the airport.

He was already a little tired at this time.

It is really no less physical energy to deal with these fans than the game, and it is more important to be too irritable. Just now, he signed more than 100 consecutively, and that feeling is not very good.

Soon they arrived at the Chelsea Club and walked into the press conference.

Lola has left with Camille, and they are moving into a new house. It is the villa given to Zhang Tiehan by Chelsea Chairman Abramovich. It is located in the suburbs of north London, a thirty-minute drive from Chelsea training base, a 40-minute drive from Stamford Bridge Stadium, and two kilometers east is the bustling Crubis Avenue, which is quite good. The villa has four floors, a small swimming pool, a gym, etc., and the decoration is also quite luxurious. The market value of this villa is at least more than 2 million pounds.

Zhang Tiehan is still very satisfied with this.

He originally wanted to buy a new home in London, but he didn't expect Abramovich to be so generous. If it were him, he would definitely not be willing to buy such a luxurious home, which was free and good. He liked it so much, but it would cost a lot of money to hire a cleaning staff, a nanny, etc. on a daily basis... It seems that he still has to save money in the future.

Zhang Tiehan kept thinking.

At this time, he was already standing at the door of the venue. Under the arrangement of Chelsea Club, he was about to walk in after a while, and got to know each other with the team chairman Abramovich and head coach Avran Grant, and then signed his name on the contract.

In fact, this is just a ceremony, which means that Zhang Tiehan officially joined Chelsea, and the real contract has been signed long ago.

Holding a signing ceremony is also a means of Chelsea’s external publicity. Not to mention a world-class host like Zhang Tiehan, even a star of millions of levels must have a signing ceremony for joining the club. This represents the club’s attention to players and also introduces new players to Chelsea fans.

Zhang Tiehan is a little different.

With his fame, there is no need to introduce anything. Which English fan doesn't know his name now? The more important purpose of this signing ceremony is to let everyone know that Zhang Tiehan joined Chelsea and promote Chelsea with Zhang Tiehan's fame.

The world's number one star with a net worth of over 100 million joins Chelsea!

Chelsea's fame is no longer as good as those of the truly top European clubs, such as Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, etc., which are not as good as Europe and are even more incomparable to the world, so they need more publicity, and Zhang Tiehan joins Chelsea is an opportunity.

After the World Cup, fans all over the world knew about Zhang Tiehan.

His fame has increased greatly and his commercial value has soared. Many large companies have proposed to sign contracts with Zhang Tiehan, hoping that Zhang Tiehan can endorse their brand. Those companies that already have contracts with Zhang Tiehan are not stingy with raising prices to renew the contract. Even Nike sent someone to negotiate with Zhang Zhenren because they needed Zhang Tiehan to promote Nike more in European football.

Nike is quite happy. They can't compete with Adidas in European football, but they signed Zhang Tiehan. Zhang Tiehan's own fame can be compared with two or three big-name stars, and they are catching up with David Beckham in terms of influence. His contract value with Nike is not high. Now Nike has proposed to modify the contract and add some price codes. This attitude also makes Zhang Tiehan very satisfied. With the most famous star since the World Cup to promote, their competition with Adidas will be even more valuable.

As a competitor, Adidas, which failed to win Zhang Tiehan, was very upset. In the European football market, they have been squeezed out by Nike in recent years, and now they have left Zhang Tiehan again. The reason is that the price they offered at that time was not as good as Nike.

Who is so unsighted? He actually missed Zhang Tiehan? If he had known this, he would have signed Zhang Tiehan at any cost.

They are now quite annoyed.

In addition to the sports market, other brands also have opportunities. Zhang Tiehan's endorsement has always been good. Because Zhang Tiehan pays more attention to the freedom of life, Camille has turned down many small brand contracts. In addition to the large contracts of world-renowned brands, Zhang Tiehan will not sign small contracts that basically require advertising. If the endorsement costs of those brands are not much, it mainly takes up time.

Especially now that Zhang Tiehan's fame has increased greatly, Camille will take the initiative to endorse the brand's influence. Brand endorsement is still expensive but not expensive. There are several large contracts like Nike, and everything is enough.

Before, Zhang Tiehan was too lazy to promote some small brands. But now he has gained something. In industries such as electronics and automobiles that have little to do with sports, he has no endorsement contracts, and all kinds of daily necessities, luxury goods, etc. If he does not have an endorsement contract, he is not trapped. If he signed a small contract before and was trapped, he could not sign a contract for a large company. Now he is a world of harvest. As long as he is a brand that has not been developed in the commercial field, he can wait for a price to sign a contract.

After the World Cup, Zhang Zhenren and Camille were busy with a mess. They even recruited several bad agents and formed a team of agents to serve Zhang Tiehan. Zhang Zhenren also specially registered a small broker company.

Recently, they have been busy with Zhang Tiehan's affairs.

Various contract analysis and brand analysis. He made daily schedules for Zhang Tiehan, what activities he needed to attend, and what time he had to do every day. Not only were they busy, but Zhang Tiehan was also restricted by rules and regulations. Within three weeks from the end of the World Cup to the end of July, he had to follow this schedule, and the holiday was completely gone.

But it's normal to think about it.

He participated in the World Cup directly at the end of last season. It was around July 10th. The Premier League was about to start in early August. Even if he did nothing between them, he only had three weeks of vacation. But in fact, he had to attend the welcome ceremony held by Chelsea, and he had to attend various gatherings, whether it was held by teammates or by high-ranking people in England, in fact, he would not have a holiday at all.

It is very difficult to have some free time when fame reaches his level.

The signing ceremony is about to begin.

A middle-aged man in formal clothes came over and shook hands with Zhang Tiehan. A staff member hurriedly introduced, "This is Mr. Wiggins, the team's assistant coach."

After shaking hands, Wiggins smiled heartily, "Zhang, you are all ready, you can go in."

Zhang Tiehan nodded, glanced at the venue, and walked in with his head held high.

As soon as they walked in, all kinds of flashes shone over, almost all the cameras pointed over, Zhang Tiehan only felt a white light in front of him, and blinked a few times before he got used to it. He strode forward, and Abramovich had already brought the team's head coach Avran Grant to greet him.

Shake hands with each other and introduce them again.

Zhang Tiehan looked at Afran Grant. This is Chelsea's new head coach and has no reputation before. However, he led Israel to participate in the World Cup before coming to Chelsea. However, compared to Zhang Tiehan's fame, Grant can definitely be described as "not worth mentioning". Abramovich had no choice but to let Grant coach, because this summer, good coaches have long been famous, and Chelsea can't find a better coach.

However, Zhang Tiehan was quite polite. He didn't think this guy had any skills, but he was the future head coach after all, and it was always good to maintain a good relationship.

After the two said a few words, it was Abramovich's turn. The Russian looked at Zhang Tiehan with a smile on his face. He patted Zhang Tiehan on the shoulder, and his smile seemed very friendly. He hugged Zhang Tiehan's shoulder and walked towards the rostrum together.

"Let's go, let's witness this important historical moment together."

Avran Glatt, behind the two, seemed helpless. He was the head coach, but at this moment he was obviously not the protagonist. It was obvious that Abramovich was much more kind to Zhang Tiehan than to him, but this was inevitable. Zhang Tiehan is a world-class player that Chelsea spent over 100 million euros to get. He was very famous in the coaching industry before and only coached various small clubs. His best result was to lead Israel to the World Cup. He was unable to qualify in the group. Even if he successfully became the head coach of Chelsea now, he found that it was "good luck". It was not that Chelsea had a fancy to his ability. If he wanted to be valued, he had to show his ability.

Grant now obviously has not shown the ability to make Chelsea pay attention to by Abramovich.

Zhang Tiehan is already a top player in the world. He became famous in Rome, went to Liverpool to help the team win the Champions League, and became the Premier League's top scorer, and won the World Cup Golden Boots and the World Cup Best Newcomer awards. Zhang Tiehan has already achieved success. Even if he just joined Chelsea, everyone knows that he will definitely perform well. That is absolutely inevitable.

However, Grant was also relieved that he had such a world-class player and a large group of world-class stars under his command. This is probably the best environment every football coach hopes to achieve. If he can no longer lead the team to achieve good results, it is his own abilities.

...

The next day, the picture of Zhang Tiehan and Abramovich standing together became the front page of many major media in England, and many media even used the "historical moment" to illustrate this picture.

Zhang Tiehan joined Roma, making Roma, which was about to fall to the mortal world, a strong contender for the league championship. Roma achieved the second best result in the history of the Champions League; Zhang Tiehan joined Liverpool, allowing Liverpool to win the Champions League championship again and won the FA Cup; now he joins Chelsea, what good results can Chelsea achieve?

There is no doubt that the three teams are better than the other!

Compared with Liverpool and Roma, Chelsea are definitely much stronger. Although Chelsea lacks historical heritage, their current strength is indeed very strong. It is not easy to win the Premier League championship for two consecutive seasons, and Chelsea also uses a large number of world's top players. Each of the main lineups is a well-known big star.

Now that Zhang Tiehan is here to Chelsea again, many Chelsea fans are beginning to look forward to the team's results in the new season.

For them, the most important thing is the Champions League. If you want to build a real giant, it is not enough to just be a league champion. They must achieve good results in European competitions. Good results are nothing more than championships. Chelsea fell to the semi-finals in the first two seasons. They hope that the team can pass the semi-finals, enter the finals, and even win the Champions League championship.

This is what Chelsea fans hope to get the most.

The media that supported Chelsea were naturally very happy about Zhang Tiehan's joining. They reported Zhang Tiehan's joining in a large amount of space, and the content also included analyzing Zhang Tiehan's experience and strength. The strength was naturally obtained through various competitions. When fans read the honors Zhang Tiehan received, the performance data of participating in the competition, etc., they were all shocked.

If you are not a purely Zhang Tiehan fan, you will only think that Zhang Tiehan is a world-class star, but in fact, they only have a vague concept of what they have in mind.

But when they carefully looked at Zhang Tiehan's performance data in two seasons, in Rome, Liverpool, in the league, the Champions League and the World Cup, they truly realized that the "world's number one player" mentioned by the media is not only the first in value, but also the first in performance.

Whether it is the league, the Champions League, or the World Cup, it is the most goals in the past two decades.

Not only that, there are also quite a lot of assists, but last season in the Premier League, Zhang Tiehan's assists reached 14 times, ranking second in the assists list.

In addition, his steals, pass success rate, pass times and success rate, etc., all ranked at the top of the list. These individual numbers are nothing, but they can be combined together with one player, which is too terrible.

This shows how much Zhang Tiehan has paid for Liverpool's Champions League championship.

Chelsea fans finally know why they have always lost to the team with Zhang Tiehan before. Not to mention them, it is really difficult for any team to win the game when facing such a terrible opponent. They have done a very good job.

Such a player joins Chelsea and wants to compete for Chelsea in the new season. Chelsea fans feel very grateful, and they are also looking forward to the new season more.

...

After the signing ceremony, there will be an event the next day. This is a fan welcome event specially prepared by Chelsea Club for his promotional team. The event location is at Stamford Bridge Club.

Zhang Tiehan is no stranger to Stamford Bridge Club.

He has scored a lot of goals here, and as early as when he was playing for Wigan Athletics, he had been here and scored three goals, completing a hat-trick. He was impressed by that game just because it was his first time to play against a strong team like Chelsea.

Now he came to this stadium again, but he was going to attend the welcome ceremony.

More than 40,000 fans came to the scene, and the fans filled the stadium, as if it had become a game, but in fact, the only protagonist today is himself. He needs to answer reporters' questions under the eyes of tens of thousands of fans, and also conduct some autographs and photo activities with the fan representatives, and finally speak to all fans.

This series of activities will take nearly two hours to go.

For Zhang Tiehan, these two hours were really hard, even more tiring than a game, but it was a must. Under the arrangement of the staff, he walked up to the built rostrum and looked at the fans around him, and picked up the microphone.

The staff arranged a draft of his speech for him, but Zhang Tiehan did not take it over. He didn't need it at all. He knew what he should say, and those drafted speeches would not be suitable for him.

Under the gaze of everyone, he finally spoke. "My name is Zhang Tiehan. I think you have all heard of this name here. I feel that I am quite famous."

Many people laughed.

"Now that I joined Chelsea, I became a Chelsea player. To be honest, I feel very conflicted because Chelsea has always been an opponent before. Every time I come here, Stamford Bridge Stadium, I have to score a few goals before I feel comfortable. I did it many times, but once I failed."

"I remember that game, last year. The score was 0:0. I tried hard and couldn't score a goal in the whole game."

"The reason why I remember it deeply is because I didn't score in that game. I can say that Chelsea did a good job. But I never thought that one day I would become a member of Chelsea."

"Now I'm joining Chelsea, I'm just saying something to everyone..."

Zhang Tiehan was silent for a while before shouting, "I am Zhang Tiehan. From now on, my game represents Chelsea, so those Chelsea opponents, hurry up and prepare. Otherwise, I won't show mercy when the game is over!"
To be continued...
