November 1.

The fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

Ajax plays Benfica at home.

After 3 rounds of group matches, Ajax has won 3 games and accumulated 9 points, ranking first in this group.

Benfica has 6 points from 3 games, 2 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the group with a goal difference.

Before the game, Benfica's coach Vitoria also made a shocking revelation when answering reporters' questions.

Victoria said: "Playing in the Champions League knockout rounds with Benfica's current lineup will actually be detrimental to the league's results. In fact, it would be a more pragmatic choice for us to play in the Europa League. Of course this is a joke, we are currently ranked second in the group."

(I once read an interview about this, and I was deeply impressed. The person involved seemed to be the head coach of a small national league team. Now I can’t find this news for a while, so I’ll graft it on)

As soon as this interview hit the news, it immediately caused a stir in Portugal.

After three rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage this season, the three Portuguese Super League teams participating in the UEFA Champions League this season are all ranked in the top two of the group. It is very likely that they will qualify together and advance to the knockout rounds. This is the first time in the history of the Portuguese Super League that this has happened.

A week ago, Sport Portugal specifically reported on this incident.

"The three Portuguese Super League teams are all expected to advance to the top 16 of the Champions League, which is the first time in history!"

But just now, Benfica's coach said that it would be better to play in the Europa League.

Although Benfica coach Victoria quickly apologized in another interview and said that his previous interview was just a joke.

But local Benfica fans in Portugal expressed great dissatisfaction.

The local media in Portugal also added fuel to the flames, fearing that the incident would not be big enough.

Benfica officials quickly stood up, but instead of supporting head coach Victoria, they issued an official punishment for Victoria's "slip of the tongue" incident.

Penalty of 1 week's salary.

This incident was also reported by the Dutch media.

So before the game, Lin Kedi looked at Benfica's head coach Victoria.

I saw Victoria wearing a crisp suit, with shiny hair, standing upright in the coach's command area on the sidelines.

Victoria's expression was solemn, seemingly affected by the previous turmoil.

However, after this game, the expression on Victoria's face became more solemn and a little bitter.

Because of this game, Ajax defeated their opponent cleanly 3-0 at home.

Lin Kedi assisted De Jong to score his first goal in the Champions League, and De Ligt also scored a header.

At the end of the game, Cherny, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal with a supplementary shot in front of the goal.

The 3-0 victory made Victoria even more popular, but this matter has nothing to do with Ajax and Lin Kedi.

On the second day of the game, the whole team has a day off.

Lin Kedi was resting at home when suddenly Ali called.

Not to mention the pleasantries at the beginning.

"Lin, I have an endorsement contract, and I think I must show it to you."

"Endorsement contract? Didn't you say before that you are not in a hurry to sign an endorsement contract now?"

"But I think you must take a look at this contract, because the price is too attractive!"

"Seductive? It's a Chinese brand, right?"

"Lin, how do you know?"

"My current popularity overseas is definitely not as good as that in China. If you say tempting, it must be domestic. My popularity in China should still be pretty good."

"It's a good start! I have been paying attention to the number of fans on your SNS in China. Your number of fans on Weibo has reached 15 million. This is simply too exaggerated. Do you know? You also have 7 million fans on Instagram.

——Let’s talk about this endorsement. This is a company called Li Ning."

"Li Ning? Lining, right?"

"Yes. It's a sports brand company. They are ready to sign you as their global spokesperson."

"Global spokesperson? Me?"

"Lin, don't underestimate yourself. You also said that your reputation in China is still very good."

"Ali, how much is the endorsement fee?"

"17 million yuan for a one-year contract, and they have set up a series of bonus terms. If you meet all of them, they will unconditionally increase it to 25 million yuan for a one-year contract in the second year - "

"Wait a minute, Ali, you're not mistaken. I mean you don't understand Chinese. You, this, 17 million yuan?"

"Don't worry, I'm not mistaken. It's 17 million yuan, which is equivalent to 2.4285 million euros in euros. Yes, Lin, I'm not mistaken. I confirmed it several times. I know, this is crazy, I mean, you Chinese

People are so rich. Although I have known this for a long time, it still shocked me. This endorsement contract is your annual salary for two years!"

"You sound like this - but, lining is a sports brand company, won't this thing have any impact on some of the club's clothing and equipment?"

"No, Lining said that this endorsement involves more in the field of fashionable clothing. You will wear Lining's clothes, pants and shoes, which are all casual wear."

"That's it. Are there any other requirements? For example, do I need to wear their clothes or shoes in public?"

"Of course there is. When you are being interviewed or from before entering the stadium to entering the locker room, when you dress yourself, you have to wear lining clothes, pants and shoes, but of course, they will

Every season, 50 sets of their latest and most classic clothes, pants and shoes are sent to you. Of course, don’t worry, I have also told them that when you interview before or after the game, you usually have to follow the club’s rules.

According to the regulations, you must wear team uniforms, and you must wear lining clothes for all other public trips.”

"In that kind of award ceremony, you need to wear a suit——"

"Have you thought about awarding awards? Of course, there are formal suits. They will send special people to tailor you to your body and make five suits."

"They really think very comprehensively."

"If you can afford this price, you must have done a thorough investigation. How about it, Lin?"

"Of course I think it's great, but it's still too easy to make money."

"Lin, I'm going to talk about you now. Your annual salary has already made you a millionaire. Your annual salary is enough to make you live happily anywhere in the world, and you are only 16 years old now.

, your commercial value and potential have not yet been developed. Therefore, this endorsement is only for

It’s a start. And I’ve done some research. The advertising and endorsement fees of your domestic celebrities and celebrities in the entertainment industry are much more exaggerated than yours. Among Chinese celebrities, your endorsement fee this time is probably only a small amount.

It’s an average level, so what else do you have to worry about.”

"Of course that's fine, what do I need to do now?"
