Chapter 144: People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong

The 4-0 win over Manchester City was already yesterday.

As usual, Li Qingshan woke up from his sleep sweating profusely again, he skillfully picked up the towels and joyful clothes placed on the bedside, whistled the melody of the Manchester United team anthem and ran into the shower room.

Li Qingshan is indeed in a very good mood.

The first is that Manchester United is still quite consistent in the league, and there is basically no suspense in the Premier League trophy this season.

The team is also in very good form at the moment, with the few injured players on the verge of returning after the international break, when the Reds can face Champions League quarter-final rivals Real Madrid with the most complete squad available.

Speaking of the national team match day, the Chinese team is also in good shape this year, in this national team match day, the Chinese team will usher in the last two rounds of the Asian World Cup Qualifiers Top 40. In fact, the Chinese team has already qualified in advance, and these last two rounds of matches are actually to compete with Qatar for the first place in the group.

China's first game will be at home to Maldives in Wuhan on March 24 and then at home to Qatar in Xi'an on March 29.

Lippi has already communicated with Li Qingshan before, Li Qingshan will play in the game against Qatar on the 29th, and Li Qingshan will not be in the squad for the game against the Maldives on the 24th.

This is mainly because after the match with Manchester City on the 21st, it has been the 22nd since Li Qingshan returned to China, and a weak team like the Maldives is not worth letting the number one player of the national football team run so much.

Therefore, Li Qingshan can rest in the UK for two days before taking a plane back to China.

There was a rare break to rest for two days, and Li Qingshan was naturally in a very good mood.

But his good mood only lasted until the moment he whistled out of the shower, because his phone rang when he came out whistling with his hair wiped with a dry towel.

It was Raiola who called.

……

"Variety shows?"

Li Qingshan was a little inexplicable, he thought carefully for a moment, and then said very firmly: "Mino, I definitely didn't participate in any variety shows!" ”

"Yes, yes, whether it's in China or anywhere else......"

When Li Qingshan hung up the phone, he turned on the computer.

Raiola has a dedicated China team that is responsible for all things Li Qingshan does throughout China. And Raiola called just now to ask Li Qingshan if he had cooperated with a variety show in China.

After receiving Li Qingshan's affirmative reply, Raiola was visibly relieved. After all, now Li Qingshan is the biggest player in his hand, and such a customer must be served well.

Li Qingshan bypassed his economic team to negotiate business cooperation with other institutions on his own, which was obviously dissatisfied with Raiola's work. Fortunately, this matter has nothing to do with Li Qingshan at present.

Li Qingshan soon knew why Raiola called him specifically to ask him.

In a program called "** Team", the latest preview of the show invited many big-name stars in the sports industry, such as Zhang Jike, Sun Yang, etc., and in the last clip of the program trailer, the back of a "mysterious guest" wearing a red No. 9 jersey and stepping on a football ball appeared.

Judging from this back, it looks like Li Qingshan himself.

Whether it is the body type, or the jersey, or his hairstyle, or the football he is stepping on, these labels all show that this person and Li Qingshan are almost overlapping, and it is almost clear that this is Li Qingshan himself.

Even in front of this back, there is a faint view of the Old Trafford stadium.

Therefore, many domestic fans were convinced that Li Qingshan would appear in this episode of the show, so it quickly attracted the attention of many fans.

If there is anyone who is the hottest sports star in China now, then it must be Li Qingshan. And it is very rare that Li Qingshan's fans are mainly male.

This is actually very easy to understand, just like Sun Yang and Zhang Jike, the attention of their own sports is not too high, and the Premier League and NBA are different from the Premier League and NBA that often make fans excited for months and a half, Zhang Jike and Sun Yang are actually difficult to ensure enough exposure in the market if they only pass the professional field. Even if it can become the focus of everyone's heated discussion in a short period of time, the ceiling for its commercial value development is still very limited. Therefore, participating in variety shows is one of the good communication channels, firstly, to let their sports fans understand the unknown side of the heroes off the field, shorten the distance between them and idols, and increase user stickiness; For the people who eat melons, this can become a resale that makes people pay attention to sports performance through variety shows.

To some extent, this is also a kind of progress in the development of China's sports industry.

The Premier League will have at least one round of league every week, and fans can see their idol's performances on TV every week, so Raiola is not keen on pushing Li Qingshan to participate in any variety show, and Li Qingshan himself naturally has no interest.

Li Qingshan suddenly remembered that this show seemed to have called him a few months ago, but he had already refused at that time. I didn't expect to play this kind of sidekick to hype up now.

Li Qingshan suffered a dark loss, and his mood was naturally not much better.

And you really can't deal with this kind of thing, after all, the other party didn't name names, and he didn't use Li Qingshan's photo, and the copyright of Old Trafford's picture doesn't belong to Li Qingshan, and the other party uses it, so what's the solution.......

"Do you need to sue them?" Raiola called again.

"It's useless, if we go to file a lawsuit, we may still be in the hands of the other party."

Li Qingshan shook his head, the other party obviously wanted to use his reputation to hype, and he might be happier to sue the other party, because after this matter was hyped up, it was the other party who benefited. And even if they win, the other side has nothing to lose - after all, it's just a marginal ball.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong......

Li Qingshan sat for a while, then opened his Weibo, which had not been updated for a long time, and typed a line of words on it.

"Just now, a friend asked me if I was going back to China to participate in a variety show, which made me feel confused, and I only understood what was going on after watching the domestic news. I solemnly tell all my friends here: I have never participated in the recording of any variety show, thank you. ”

After knocking it out, Li Qingshan forgot about it.

Early the next morning, he flew home. Participate in the final match of the round of 40 at home against Qatar.
