Chapter 18 A call from Nanshan Bisheng Group
Both the offense and defense took their positions. When the referee blew the whistle, Tavernier raised his hand, took a few steps and kicked the ball out.
The arc of this corner kick was very large. At first it seemed to be flying straight towards the near post of the goal, but halfway through it suddenly turned towards the top of the penalty area.
Chen Xiaoliang had already found the landing point before others, and jumped high with no one guarding him!
He didn't care about the angle or accuracy, he just pushed hard towards what he thought was the goal.
Who knew that in the end he just hit his head against the high-speed football and had no effect at all.
Chen Xiaoliang realized that he had made a fool of himself and cursed inwardly: "Damn it, relying on the attribute of 5 for heading to score a goal is just like scratching a lottery ticket."
Just as he landed and looked at where the football was going, a familiar man on the penalty area line had stopped the ball with his right foot and shot it out with his left foot.
It was so close, but the goalkeeper didn't react at all!
All the fans in the stadium cheered, and Gerrard and McAllister hugged each other to celebrate!
The score is 2-0!
The goal was scored by Barisic. The man who was treated like a dog for ten minutes in the second half now became the hero who secured the victory!
When his teammates surrounded Barisic to celebrate and came over to high-five Chen Xiaoliang, he realized that he had gotten an assist without knowing it.
In the live broadcast room of the Doumao APP, netizens from the Red Country exploded again, and more than 20,000 fans have flocked in:
[It's been a long time since I've seen such a strong player from the Red Country! ]
[I thought he was only good at defense, but I didn't expect his headers were so cool! ]
【Why does it look like it's a mask? 】
[Guess? Guess for me, can you guess so accurately? Did you guess right under the feet of the teammate who ambushed in advance? ]
[With this physique and appearance, he is just like General Fan.]
[General Fan? Which one are you talking about? ]
[Of course it’s the Crystal Palace star, could it be Fan der Biao? ]
…
In the grandstand box, senior staff of the club were taking turns to congratulate Chairman Dave.
Dave said proudly: "I knew this kid was a genius. When Steven asked me to rent him, I agreed without a second thought. If Tottenham's asking price wasn't too high, I would have bought him directly!"
The surrounding employees kept nodding their heads, saying that the boss was wise and had a good eye for talent, and they felt inferior to him.
Just then, Dave's secretary handed him a cell phone.
"What call do you want me to answer now? The game isn't over yet. Can't we talk about it after the game?" Dave, who was in a good mood, was a little dissatisfied that the secretary interrupted the flattery of other employees.
"Chairman, this is a call from a Red Country company."
"We don't have any business dealings with Red Country ..." Dave thought about it and said, "Let the marketing department know."
The secretary said awkwardly, "No, Chairman, they specifically want to talk to you, and the marketing department also said that they can't discuss this cooperation."
"A bunch of rubbish." Dave took the phone impatiently, and before he put it to his ear, he asked again, "Which company in Red Country?"
"Nanshan Bisheng Group..." the secretary said in a low voice, fearing that the news would leak out.
Dave was startled, his eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly put the phone to his ear and said in broken Chinese: "Ni Hao."
The expression on his face changed completely. He no longer had the spirited look he had just had. He became like someone who was listening to his father's teachings. He was humble, sincere, and respectful, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
"Ah, yes, yes."
"Oh, okay, okay."
“We still need to study this…”
"No, no ...
"Okay, okay, let's sign it today! Let's sign it today!"
The employees in the box were also puzzled when they saw Dave, who usually acted so arrogant, lowering his posture in response to a phone call.
Only the secretary knew what was going on.
It turned out that Mr. Ma, the boss of Nanshan Bisheng Group, the largest enterprise in the Red Country, discovered the explosive influence of Chen Xiaoliang in his Fighting Cats live broadcast room, and immediately asked his subordinates to contact the Rangers Club to sign an exclusive broadcasting agreement, for fear that they would be overtaken by their old rival, the Forty Thieves Company.
Faced with such a large sum of money, Dave naturally would not let it slip away.
Finally, the two sides reached an agreement, and Penguin Sports, a subsidiary of Nanshan Bisheng Group, signed the exclusive online broadcasting rights and merchandise sales rights of the Rangers in the Red Country for RMB 10 million.
As for the conditions, although they cannot be disclosed to the public, Dave naturally knows them in his heart. If Chen Xiaoliang does not play, there will be several Red Country fans who want to watch your Rangers game.
Compared with the 10 million RMB in cash, what Dave values more is that every live broadcast is a powerful promotion of the club's brand in the Red Country market. Nanshan Bisheng Group has taken the lead, and next there will definitely be a second and third Red Country company knocking on the door and asking for cooperation.
After hanging up the phone, Dave instructed his secretary to quickly ask his subordinates to handle the matter, and then he regained his smug look.
Just as the secretary was about to leave, Dave stopped him.
"This Red Countryman, how much is his current salary?"
"450 pounds, all of this money is paid by Tottenham, we don't have to spend a penny."
"How can that be?!" Dave was obviously a little dissatisfied. Having been in the football circle for more than ten years, he naturally knew the difference.
In the case of a free loan like this, the parent team can recall the loaned players at any time, but once the loan fee is incurred, the player must fulfill the contract until the end of the contract before returning to the team.
"Give him a pay rise, give him an extra £1,000 a week, and renegotiate terms with Tottenham to keep him at the club until the end of the season!"
The secretary nodded repeatedly.
Business was going on in full swing in the box, and the Rangers' offensive on the field was endless.
In the 74th minute, after Chen Xiaoliang intercepted the ball in the middle, Rangers immediately launched a quick counterattack. Midfielder Jack passed the ball to captain Tavernier who rushed into the penalty area and passed the ball to striker Hagi, who almost poked the ball into the empty goal.
3 to 0! The game was completely killed!
Gerrard then replaced Jack with Davis to strengthen the defense.
Although Davis is 35 years old, he still works very hard after taking the court. Not only does he defend well, but he can also make accurate passes to both sides from the position of central midfielder.
After he came on the court, the defensive area Chen Xiaoliang needed to cover suddenly became much smaller.
"Steven, your catfish worked. Even with a three-goal lead, Davis was still fighting so hard after coming on the court. It seems that Chen's performance today has made him feel the crisis." McAllister exclaimed.
Gerrard said nothing. He had returned to the coaching seat and sat there calmly, thinking only about the next plan.
"We have to make a special training plan for Chen. He always practices alone now. Although the effect is good, I think he can improve faster."
McCollist nodded: "Based on today 's performance, he will be able to start soon."
"No," Gerrard rejected McAllister's suggestion, "He is still too young, too much game load will overdraw his health in advance, and I don't want the opponent to know him too early."
McAllister knew that the "opponent" Gerrard was referring to was Celtic, who had won the Scottish Premier League title for nine consecutive years.
