Chapter 741 Advance to Wembley!
"Hey Jorge"
Gao Bo was lying comfortably on the sofa in his apartment, with Haruko's thigh resting on his head. Haruko was preparing her doctoral dissertation, while Gao Bo was busy with training during the day. At night, he finally had some free time, and then he received a call from his agent Mendez.
Seeing that the season is coming to an end, Mendes also needs to communicate with Gao about the offseason.
During the season break, Gao Bo can still have almost a month's vacation.During this period of time, besides being busy leading the team to train and compete, he has also started making plans for next season.
Signing, training plans, especially after the Premier League schedule and the results of the Champions League draw for next season come out, he has to prepare a detailed game plan.
Although there is a coaching staff to assist him in completing these tasks, it is still up to Gao Bo to decide on the general direction.
"You need to arrange a few days to sign contracts with several big brands, Gao!" Mendes said reproachfully on the other end of the phone.
"I know, I know." Gao Bo felt helpless.
"Nike intends to sign a new contract with you. Besides Nike, Heineken and a Chinese mobile phone brand are also planning to seek your endorsement."
said Mendez on the other end of the phone.
He's not the kind of manager who grabs a sheep and grabs the wool desperately.Mendes attaches great importance to Gao Bo's image maintenance.
Gao Bo is the coach of the Champions League champion. This season, he is about to lead Manchester City to the final again. He is even expected to become the first coach to defend the Champions League after the reorganization of the Champions League. Naturally, such a coach cannot be signed by any brand of endorsement.
Even though many merchants are waving checks now, Mendes knows that they must raise their shelves, otherwise, this will damage Gao Bo's image.
Which brand to choose depends first on whether the brand has enough influence and whether it fits with Gao Bo's own image.
"You still need to spare a few days to shoot commercials!" Mendes said, and then talked about the general advertising planning case.
After Gao Bo heard this, he didn't have any opinion. Now he is more and more used to being a celebrity.
"In terms of endorsement fees, Nike currently offers 300 million euros for four years, Heineken 230 million for three years, and the Chinese brand 1000 million for five years!" Mendes said.
"1000 million?!!" Gao Bo was a little surprised, "You mean RMB, right?"
"No, it's Euros!" Mendes corrected, "You don't know how influential you are in China, Gao. You are definitely the most popular sports star in China!! Your value is definitely worth the money!"
Mendes on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "Besides, I still think the price is too low. By the end of this season, they may raise the price. Are you right? High!"
Gao Bo understood what Mendes meant. His agent was asking him how sure he was of winning the league and the Champions League.
"Of course, Jorge!" Gao Bo didn't hesitate much. When it comes to football, he is always so confident.
"There is another thing. Recently, our team has contacted several European teams, and finally locked the target in the Dutch First Division, Den Haag Club!" Mendes began to talk about another thing.
"The Hague?" Gao Bo thought for a while, he really didn't have much influence on this team.
"Yes, The Hague!" Mendes said, "The team is in good shape now, but their boss has been in trouble recently and is ready to sell his team to save his other properties. Therefore, we can get this team with a relatively complete lineup at a relatively low price."
"Well, if possible, I hope to confirm it as soon as possible." Gao Bo said.
Buy a team, then recruit some players who may become famous in the future, and then select some talents who can be cultivated. When the inflation of European football transfers intensifies, these little guys are all cash cows!
Compared with this money, the several million endorsement fees are really not worth mentioning.
"Manchester City intends to renew your contract recently, and they hope to extend your contract!" After talking about the acquisition of the club, Mendes mentioned another thing.
This is also normal. For the Abu Dhabi consortium, they are not short of money, so the value of Gao Bo is not measurable by money. Last season, Mancini and Manchester City couldn't get out of the group, but this season, Manchester City has reached the semi-finals all the way, and it is very likely to reach the final.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Manchester City executives want to renew Gao Bo's contract.
However, Gao Bo does not intend to renew his contract with Manchester City so early.
Although he does not reject becoming the godfather of a certain team, he also believes that his contract has three years left and there is no need to rush to sign a new contract.
"Let's delay this matter first, I don't want to discuss the renewal of the contract so early." Gao Bo shook his head and said.
Mendez agrees.
They don't need to worry, everything depends on Gao Bo's performance. If Gao Bo's performance is not good, then even if he has a ten-year contract, it will not help. If Gao Bo can continue to lead Manchester City to win the championship, the shorter the contract period of Gao Bo, the more anxious Manchester City will be.
Near the end of the season, many media have begun to have some rumors.
The two giants in Spain intend to invite Kobo to coach, but apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona, the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich also expressed their desire for Kobo to take over as Bayern coach. After all, Heynckes will retire after this season. Bayern Munich is still having a headache for the next season's head coach.
However, it is impossible for Gao Bo to leave Manchester City for the time being. He has only been in Manchester City for one season, and it is not yet time to lose his freshness.
Moreover, there are not many clubs that can meet the salary of a head coach of Gao Bo's level. In the Premier League, there are only a few teams such as Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
Three days later, Manchester, Etihad Stadium!
At this time, the entire stadium is like a sea of cheers!
"GOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Manchester City players running wildly on the pitch with camera chasers!
Griezmann is running wild!
Behind him are the excited Manchester City players!
This is the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final between Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
In the first half of the game, the two sides fought to a zero to zero.
However, in the second half, not long after the game started, Manchester City took advantage of Bayern Munich's eagerness to attack and aggressively overwhelmed the opportunity. Griezmann succeeded in countering offside and scored a goal.
"One to zero! The total score is six to three!!"
"Manchester City are marching into Wembley with their heads held high!!"
"Griezmann's goal is the deadliest blow to Bayern Munich!! To advance, Bayern Munich must score four goals in less than 10 minutes. This is almost impossible!!"
The camera locked on Gao Bo on the sidelines, he was high-fiving with his assistants.
"Coach Gao Bo will once again lead his team to the final of the Champions League!! Maybe he will become the first coach to defend the Champions League after the restructuring!!"
In the stands, after the Manchester City fans cheered, there was singing that resounded through the field.
Under this singing, Bayern Munich, who had completely lost their fighting spirit, could no longer organize an effective offense.
After 10 minutes, Manchester City won a corner kick!
David Silva took a corner kick, Kompany leaped high in the penalty area and headed the goal! !
Neuer blocked the ball, but still couldn't stop the powerful header this time!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!"
"Two to zero!!! The total score is seven to three!!!"
"Kopany helped City extend their lead to four goals!!!"
Gao Bo raised his arms high on the sidelines, and the entire Etihad Stadium was like an erupting volcano!
Not far away, on the coaching bench of the visiting team, Heynckes put his hands in the pockets of his coat.
He looked at the field, his eyes glazed over.
The German coach also completely lost confidence at this moment.
He knew that his team was doomed!
In the next game, Bayern Munich did not have an attack that threatened Manchester City's goal!
When the game entered stoppage time, all the fans at the scene stood up, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the game.
The referee didn't make the home fans wait too long. In the second minute of stoppage time, before the 3-minute stoppage time was completed, he blew the whistle for the end of the game!
At the moment the whistle sounded, the entire Etihad Stadium was full of crazy cheers from Manchester City fans!
The fans jumped up!
Embrace!
carnival!
From the octogenarian to the young man with plump hair, weeping with joy!
"Congratulations to Manchester City! Congratulations to Kobo!! Congratulations to Kaka!! Congratulations to Kompany!! Congratulations to Griezmann!! Congratulations to Hazard!! Congratulations to David Silva. Congratulations to Manchester City fans!! They reached the final of the UEFA Champions League in 2012-2013! They will go to Wembley Stadium and they will compete with the winner between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid for the Champions League title! Congratulations to them!!!"
The high-pitched voice of the narrator, along with the signal of the TV broadcast, was transmitted to thousands of households!
Manchester City fans jumped out of front of the TV!
At the Etihad Stadium, fans dream even more crazy!
Many fans turned down the pitch, and soon, the entire pitch was occupied by Manchester City fans.
And Manchester City's players don't have to worry about any safety accidents.
Everyone is cheering, everyone is celebrating.
The lens locked on the high wave.
After this night's game, he is the winner, leading his team to attack the highest honor in European football! !
Wembley! !
Champions League final! ! !
Gao Bo held his head up slightly, with unmatched confidence! !
Tomorrow, I have something to do during the day and I need to go out for a day, so I quickly uploaded two chapters in the early morning, and came back at night to come back with another chapter.
