Chapter 123 What are the Seven Lotus Flowers?

The Munich Evening News reported that RB Leipzig scored a last-minute equalizer against Bayern Munich. What exactly makes newly promoted RB Leipzig so strong?

"First of all, their tactical system is unique, and I think that's the most important reason."

"Secondly, there's the team atmosphere. Leipzig's consecutive miracles extended their unbeaten run, which boosted the morale of the players. These two factors combined allowed the players to perform at an extraordinary level."

The Sun reporter: Given Tuchel's outspokenness last season, the Dortmund manager is very likely to become Mr. Goodman's next target for reprimand.

The Sun is always associated with trending news.

This newspaper, which originated in England, sent reporters to Leipzig and conducted some interviews with local fans.

"Mr. Goodman is already our god!"

Inside the car factory, several young workers looked excited.

"Leipzig is the only Bundesliga team from East Germany, and they are the pride of East Germany. We fear no opponent, because Mr. Goodmann will lead us to success!"

In the interview, these working-class fans said that Leipzig will definitely be able to avoid relegation this season.

That's a bit of an overstatement, but judging from the current situation, Leipzig definitely has the capability.

Their league performance this season has even exceeded the expectations of many fans.

It's not just about avoiding relegation; RB Leipzig could very well climb into the mid-table in their very first season!

"Have you seen Tuchel's interview videos from last season?"

"Of course, I've been following Leipzig since the 11-12 season, and I've watched them rise from the fourth division to the Bundesliga."

The lead worker's expression turned serious: "Tuchel is indeed being too arrogant; he shouldn't have offended Mr. Goodman."

.

"If he came to Leipzig, he'd be beaten to death by the coal miners and steelworkers here!"

After speaking, the worker pointed to the production workshop behind him, where countless Porsche cars were undergoing initial assembly.

"Our factory alone has 300 people. Can you imagine what kind of beating Tuchel would get if he came to Leipzig?"

"Ha ha!"

The reporter couldn't help but laugh.

But the auto workers being interviewed did not smile.

Damn!

They're serious!

"So you think Dortmund will ultimately lose to Leipzig?"

"Yes, because we beat them once last season. Oh, I know what you're going to say, Dortmund has indeed become stronger this season, but it doesn't matter, Leipzig is getting stronger too."

"And what about the Europa League next?"

The reporter mentioned Leipzig's next match against Napoli.

The opponent is also a traditional powerhouse from one of the top five European leagues.

"Hmm—our schedule is indeed very tight, but I think beating Dortmund is more important than beating Napoli."

Because we must make Tuchel pay the price; he said the wrong thing.

After the interview, dozens of workers at the car factory gathered in front of the camera to cheer on their team.

"Long live Leipzig!"

The Leipzig players will depart for Napoli tonight.

The Europa League matches are quite important, so the team chose to stay in the local area a day in advance.

Just before setting off, Lü Qi called Hao Ren, and the two met at a local Chinese restaurant.

At the dining table, Hao Ren kept shaking his leg, looking very excited.

Because Lü Qi said on the phone that a Chinese company wanted him to be their spokesperson!

It's finally here!

"What do you mean by 'Brother Qi'? What is he?"

"Actually, that's not the focus today. It's just a small business—I'm here mainly to talk to you about other things."

"Small businesses? That's fine too. Let's talk about the endorsement first."

"It's a company called Seven Lotus Flowers — um, a company."

"Seven lotus flowers?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Ren immediately frowned: "This sounds like a tea seller? Why would a tea seller want to talk to me? I rarely drink tea, and I don't drink coffee much either."

"It's not a tea shop. It's a chain of physical therapy clinics."

No, no, no, I don't do that. I don't do these things.

Hao Ren waved his hands repeatedly, leaning his upper body backward as he spoke.

"How could I endorse this? I have a persona, and if I endorse this, the fans' good impression of me will be gone!"

'

"Forehead----"

Lü Qi shrugged.

"It's the legitimate kind."

"Hey, you should have said so earlier!"

Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again: "No, even the formal ones won't work. I have a persona."

Hao Ren repeatedly emphasized the "persona." In his view, endorsing a physiotherapy clinic was an absurd thing to do.

Football combined with Shaolin Kung Fu—that's a promising venture.

But football + physical therapy —

What connection is there between these two things?!

"Actually, I suggest you consider it. I'll release the information first and see what the fans think."

Lü Qi shrugged: "To be honest, I think your fans are quite accepting of this stuff."

"Hmm, why?"

"They must have done market research before they wanted you to be their spokesperson! The percentage of your fans who go to physiotherapy clinics is extremely high—according to them, it's frighteningly high!"

'

""

Hao Ren's lips twitched.

Those fans online criticize Mr. Goodman every day.

He secretly enjoyed the good life while he was away!

"Are they really that happy?"

"Haha, anyway, remember to consider it. Although the endorsement fee isn't much, it's quite effective, and it might even boost your popularity."

Sources say that the Wuhan and Hefei chain physiotherapy clinic "Seven Lotus" considers Hao Ren the best choice as its spokesperson, and the company hopes to use this opportunity to expand into the national market beyond Hubei and Anhui.

[6666, the market research part]

-

[Hao Ren: Stop pretending, I know what you guys like!]

This endorsement probably doesn't pay much; I don't think a normal person would accept it.

[A normal person wouldn't answer, so how could I, Hao Qiuwang, be a normal person? What if he says there's a 75% discount on physiotherapy for fans, and I, Hao Qiuwang, agree to it for the health of my fans?]

[75% off for fans? Really? I'm going to go to the forum and try to persuade Hao Hao, 75% off is too good to pass up!]

'

On the plane to Naples, Hao Ren squinted as he scrolled through his phone.

Judging from his eyes, this guy must be thinking about something.

"This Wi-Fi is a bit slow; I can't even watch animated GIFs."

After making a brief complaint, Hao Ren casually put his phone down and started chatting with Kimmich, who had just finished playing cards at the next table.

"Hey Chicken Bro, someone's asked me to be their spokesperson."

"Wow?"

Kimmich raised an eyebrow.

Not only Kimmich, but Klostermann and Poulsen, who were standing nearby, also leaned over when they heard the noise.

"Wow, Goode, you've even landed an endorsement deal!"

"That's for sure. But my endorsement is a bit strange; it's the kind that's for physical therapy."

"physiotherapy?"

Seeing that his teammates didn't understand, Hao Ren explained, "It's similar to a Thai massage, which is a full-body massage that's quite popular in China."

"Oh, that's interesting!"

Paulsen nodded seriously: "If you have the chance, go to China and give it a try. I've never been to China before."

"So, Yusuf, do you think I should take this endorsement?"

"Why not make money if you have the means?" Kimmich answered casually.

"Wouldn't this have a bad impact? I feel like endorsing beverages and clothes would be better, but I can't rush into accepting endorsements from big companies."

As Hao Ren said.

Although he is already very famous in China, it is not appropriate for him to take on clothing endorsements.

Hao Ren is only 17 years old and his professional career has just begun. If he accepts endorsements now, he will be easily pressured by big companies to lower his price and he will not earn much money.

So don't rush things now. Wait until you're even more popular, and one year's endorsement fee can be equivalent to three years' worth now!

"There's no negative impact whatsoever, you're overthinking it. Who cares about that?"

Poulsen criticized Hao Ren, saying, "Commercial football has been around for years, and betting companies are already putting their logos on jerseys!"

Hao Ren took a deep breath.

"I need to think about it some more."

Maradona Stadium!

This is the home stadium of Italian Serie A team Napoli, named after the club's legend Diego Maradona.

"Maradona represents Naples." — Mayor of Naples

For the people of Naples, Maradona is synonymous with their God.

""

"That's really impressive."

Hao Ren stepped off the bus with his bag on his back, and was struck by the Maradona posters hanging near the stadium.

When will Mr. Goodman become so great?

LeSports

[Commentators: Zhan Jun, Xu Qiang]

"Good evening, everyone! This is the first round of Group C in the 15-16 UEFA Europa League group stage!"

"Napoli hosts RB Leipzig!"

"This is my first time commentating on Hao Ren's match, I'm a little excited, haha!"

The camera focuses on Hao Ren in the players' tunnel.

This is RB Leipzig's number 10's first European match in his professional career.

Needless to say, this guy is extremely excited right now.

"Judging from Hao Ren's condition, he should be in very good shape."

-

"However, we must remember that just three days ago, Leipzig held Bayern Munich to a draw at their home ground, a very intense match. Three days isn't enough time for the players to fully recover, which means Leipzig will be somewhat weakened in this match—you could say that!"

"Beep!!!"

The game is on!

Naples (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Reina; Defenders: Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Midfielders: David Loperin, Jorgiao, Hamsik; Forwards: Callejon, Higuain, Mertenland. The camera pans to the East Stand.

The home team fans hung a striking banner at the top of the stands.

【Il Vesuvio dorme, ma Napoliè sveglia】

This is a famous slogan that means "Mount Vesuvius is asleep, but Naples is awake."

To be honest, it was a little bit pretentious.

It wouldn't be good to display this today.

Because Mr. Goodman came with a mission!

[Mission Advancement: Victory Points (0/50)]

Hao Ren had accepted the mission 10 days ago, but he still hadn't earned any victory points, which was something he was unwilling to accept.

Leipzig is going to target Napoliland!

"Hao Ren is coming closer!"

"Hey, Hao Ren's trying to put pressure on his opponent."

"David Lopelin!"

"Lopez killed Hao Renlan! Uh! This—"

Hao Ren's defensive support was a bit too hasty, resulting in him being nutmegged by Lopelan's shot.

It's bad!

Lopezlan dribbles forward.

The defenders were marking him, but Lopelin remained calm.

He's waiting for the right passing opportunity!

Now is the time!

Snapped!

Loperin gently pushed the ball out, finding Hysaj who was making a run down the wing.

Hysaj dribbled the ball a few steps, then delivered a triangular cross.

Wow!!!

Joriya rushed up in the middle of the room!

Hey!

Sebalantian and Compper quickly set up a blockade.

However, Ruoyan did not choose to take a long-range shot.

He's got control of the ball!

Snapped!

Possession was given to Mertenland on the left wing.

Mertenland began to press Leipzig's defense!

Pass the ball!

Mertenland unleashed a powerful shot, but it was easily cleared by Compper.

Napoli's corner kick.

Hao Ren rushed back from the front, exchanging a glance with Poulsen along the way.

Napoli's attacking rhythm seems a bit off.

Is this an illusion?

still----

What are their special combat mission designs?

"Mixin!"

Paulsen whispered a word of advice to Hao Ren.

Snapped!

Napoli takes a corner kick.

Higuain accelerated and changed direction to avoid the defender, preparing to receive the pass and volley it in.

But he was quickly caught by Hao Ren.

Jump up!

boom!

Hao Renyi cleared the ball with a header.

"pretty!"

"Hao Ren's rescue was incredibly decisive!"

"Position is still in Napoli's control!"

"Jorginho!"

"Get the ball into the penalty area!"

"Callejon made a mistake, what a pity!"

Napoli's attack felt very organized.

However, having just played against Bayern Munich, the Leipzig players felt that their opponents were playing rather slowly and sluggishly.

He likes passing and possession even more than Guardiola!

"ForzaNapoli! (Go Naples!)"

"Sempre Napoli!"

"Siamo Number One! (We are number one!)"

Both teams started at a relatively slow pace.

In the 29th minute, Sabitzer intercepted the ball on the flank and ignited Leipzig's counter-attack.

"this!"

Harlantenberg rushed over to receive the pass from Sabitzer and accelerated twice.

Leipzig's defender is quick!

He's looking for teammates!

As Jorgia quickly closed in, Lopez continued to retreat, stalling for time.

"what!"

Sabitzer was nudged by Jorginho.

Although I was a little unsteady, I managed to stand firm in the end!

Pass the ball to Forlanberg!

Franberry is looking for Hao Ren!

"Let's go!"

Hao Ren roared and quickly lobbed the ball into the penalty area.

Vlaan is ready.

Jump up!

boom!

Vlaan headed the ball over the crossbar, then fell in the penalty area along with goalkeeper Reina.

"Oh!!!"

"Penalty! Penalty!"

Leipzig players quickly rushed up and surrounded the referee.

Hao Ren, who was closest to the player, pointed directly at Reina and exclaimed, "He hit one of our players in the eye!"

"Whoa!!!"

The referee blows the whistle and extends his right index finger.

He pointed to Napoli's penalty spot.

"Oh!"

"Beep beep beep!!!"

"Beep beep!!"

"Fuck you, referee!"

"What the hell?! How is that a foul?!"

The home fans vented their frustration, while Hao Ren picked up the ball and handed it to Poulsen: "Come on, Yusuf!"

"Shuangran!"
