Football King Bale

Chapter 25: business activities

After the Tottenham game, some teammates left London by plane that night. Another international match day is coming, and the internationals in Tottenham will report to the national team again.

   Originally, Bell was also going to report to the national team, he is the main force in the Welsh defence. However, on the last national team match day, because Wales had been eliminated from the World Cup qualifiers, Bell expressed to the national team coach the idea of ​​not playing in the national team warm-up game in the next few months, and was allowed, so this The Welsh National Team did not issue a call letter to the Tottenham team.

   In the next two weeks, Bell will usher in a relatively relaxing holiday. However, he couldn't go around. The sword of Damocles above him made him feel bad about going around. Second, the Tottenham team also made arrangements for players who did not report to the national team. The club has training. plan. However, this training plan is relatively easy, and it is completely incomparable with the usual training.

  Tottenham first-team 24 players, there are really few people who have not received the respective national team call-up order, basically all are the marginal personnel in the first team.

   However, in this, Bell accidentally discovered the trace of Modric.

   Modric has been in a bad shape since his last injury. Not only did he not get a chance to play in the team for several consecutive games, but even the Croatian national team did not call him.

   It was the other two Croatians from Tottenham, Kranica and Cholluca, who were both called up.

In fact, Croatia failed to break through in the qualifying round of the South Africa World Cup Europe this time. In the group composed of England, Ukraine, Croatia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra, Croatia finally ranked third, with the chance of a play-off I didn't get it.

   such a result, for the top ten Croatia in the world, is simply defeated.

  Croatia has also become the only team in the world's top ten teams that failed to advance to South Africa. Even expanding this range to the top 20 in the world, they are the only one.

   However, because the play-offs for the European regional qualifiers will be played on this national team match day, Croatia may add some companions. For example, France, Portugal and Russia, if any of them missed in the playoffs, they will also be eliminated from the World Cup.

  ………………

   Modric didn't know why Bell didn't report to the national team, because Bell's recent performance in the club game was superb, and the Welsh national team had no reason not to call him.

  Bell did not explain much about this, which made Modric think he was the same as himself, because the national team missed the World Cup, causing the head coach to have a view on them, so there was no call.

   This gave Modric a feeling of sympathy for Bell. After the training arranged by the club, he stayed with him to practice with Bell.

  With Modric as a partner, Bell will not refuse. Modric's technology is good. Since joining Tottenham last year, he has quickly become an important rotation member of the team, even the main force. He hasn't played recently, but he hasn't recovered after injury, but sooner or later he will become the team's midfielder brain. He will train with him more, and his understanding will definitely be higher, which will also help him to play in future games. .

   In addition to the training at the team's training base, Bell is still insisting on yoga training, but this is arranged in the evening, generally every hour is one night.

   In addition, Bell went to a business event because of his recent good performance in the game, which led to a great increase in his reputation. Agent Jonathan Barnett contacted him with a local London business endorsement. This endorsement is not a big contract, just a local brand in London, and the endorsement fee given is not too high. The one-year contract, the endorsement fee is only 200,000 pounds.

   Such a short-term endorsement contract is actually more suitable for Bell now, because he is not sure about his future, and a long-term endorsement contract is meaningless. If he cannot complete the task this season, he may be killed and everything is false; if he successfully completes the task, it means that he will be famous, and the income of the endorsement will be greatly improved by then. Contract is too cost-effective.

  ………………

  During the national team match day, Bell took two afternoons, and in accordance with the requirements of the endorsement contract, went to shoot an advertisement for the merchant.

   This is a local London clothing brand, which has a certain reputation in London and the southeast of England.

   In the coming year, Bell’s print ads will be hung in various stores of this clothing brand, and his TV ads will be broadcast in some TV programs.

  When Barnett's men arranged for Bell to be sent to the advertising shooting location, Bell discovered that the clothing brand's spokesperson was not just him.

   As Barnett himself, as the largest agent in the British sports world, he has hundreds of athletes. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to accompany Bell to attend every commercial event. After all, Bell is not a big name now, and even under Barnett, it is not the most famous.

  Another spokesperson invited by the merchant is a girl, because this clothing brand not only has men's clothing, but also produces women's clothing, and even the reputation of women's clothing is slightly larger.

  When Bell saw the spokeswoman for the women's clothing, he was happy because he knew him.

   Don't get me wrong, it wasn't the Rosamand Parker I met before.

  She is a young actress, but she has just made her debut and is not well-known.

   However, when it comes to her father, it is a household name in England because his name is Phil Collins!

   That was a Daniel who had won the Grammy Award seven times and also won the Oscar for Best Film Song!

   And Lily Collins is also a big beauty. Of course, she is still a little childish now when she is only 20 years old. Compared with Rosamund Pike, she has less temperament accumulated over time.

  Because the two will shoot the advertisement together, under the director's arrangement, the two will be familiar with the advertisement script.

   Although Lily Collins is the second generation of stars, but she has a good personality, there is no arrogance of the second generation. Coupled with the similar age of the two, the relationship soon became familiar.

  Bell found that Lily Collins was quite talkative, which may be related to her being a reporter. In previous years, she wrote a column for the British magazine "ElleGirl", which was mostly a personal mood diary and Los Angeles news, and later wrote in many media such as "Seventeen", "TeenVogue", "LosAngelesTimes" and so on. Last year, she was named "International Model of the Year" by the Spanish edition of "Glamour" magazine. Also last year, she also won a "New Red Carpet Reporter Award" at the Junior Hollywood Awards. She then entered the University of Southern California to study journalism and broadcasting.

  ………………

  According to Lily Collins, it was actually an accident that she could endorse the clothing brand, because her intention to return to the UK was to promote a movie she had just shot.

Although she is a second-generation star and was first electrocuted when she was two years old, Lily Collins officially entered the entertainment industry last year, when she appeared in the remake of the youth drama "New Leap Beverly" on CW TV. Character.

   This year, she started to enter the screen. In a sports film made in the United States, she played a very important role.

   This movie Bell knew that the name was "Weakness" and it was a movie about baseball.

   This movie is not ordinary. It will receive two Oscar nominations next year, namely Best Film and Best Actress. In the end, its heroine Sandra Bullock is precisely after this film, became the double star of the Oscar and the American Golden Globe Awards.

   However, the young Lily Collins' performance in this movie is still too immature and did not leave a deep impression on the audience.

  Lily Collins told Bell that the film will be released in the United States and Canada in a few days, but if it is released in the UK, it will wait until next year, which is expected to be in February and March. She is now in the UK to prepare for the film’s early publicity.

  As for the endorsement of this apparel brand, it was an unexpected joy. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com only because her father and the owner of this apparel brand were friends.

  ………………

   The shooting of the advertisement was smooth. Once Lily Collins was originally a child star. She was very good at acting, and Bell's learning ability was also good. With the help of both the director and Lily Collins, she quickly grasped the role.

   However, Lily Collins was somewhat surprised, because in her impression, athletes are generally not good brains, except for professional things that learn faster, the rest are of the unresponsive kind.

   It seems that Bell, a boy who is a few months younger than her, is not the kind of athlete with developed limbs and simple minds, and the ability to observe and learn is also excellent.

   After shooting, the two also left each other phone numbers and Twitter accounts. In addition, Lily Collins also said that when her movie was released in the UK, she would also ask Bell to participate.

  Bell didn't care too much about it. After all, a new movie is generally released on the weekend, which is likely to conflict with his ball game, and may not be able to participate at that time.

   By the time Bell finished the commercial, the South Africa World Cup qualifiers were all over.

  British local time on the evening of November 18, created a new record for 204 teams, the time span of the 27-month World Cup qualifiers settled, all 32 seats are falling out.

   In the end, in the top 20 in the world, in addition to the 9th ranked Croatia, Hiddink led Russia also missed in the playoffs and failed to sit on the last train to South Africa. Portugal, France, Slovenia and Greece became lucky.
