Chapter 402: Golden Globe PR, aiming for the top three!
"Oh wow, the overall rating is actually over ninety?!"
Looking at the individual ability values alone, Ling Feng is quite satisfied.
Especially the general comments gave him an unexpected surprise.
You know, in the FIFA game, the players with an overall rating of 90 are all players at the top of the world football pyramid!
As a "young player" who debuted for just over two years, Ling Feng's overall game rating has soared to 90, alongside superstars such as Ibrahimovic, Boateng, Lewandowski, and De Gea.
Second only to "Gatekeeper" Neuer, MSN Combination and Ronaldo.
It is worth mentioning that he is also the only midfielder in the entire game with an overall rating of 90!
Such a high ability value and overall rating really make many superstars who have been around for many years envious.
After thinking about it, Ling Feng felt that as a cover character, he also had certain bonuses.
After all, as a new generation of game cover characters, it would be a bit unjustifiable if the overall rating is less than 90.
Besides, as one of the best players in the five major leagues last season, he definitely has the ability to get an overall rating of 90!
But at first, Ling Feng was a little dissatisfied with his passing ability value of only 90.
After all, he was the player with the most assists in the five major leagues last season!
However, after asking the game producer, he learned that the player with the highest passing ability in the entire game was Pirlo.
And his passing ability value is 91!
In other words, he is the player with the second highest passing ability in the entire game, higher than Kroos, Cesc Fabregas, Iniesta, Messi and others, and second only to Pierre Luo.
After learning the truth, Ling Feng also gave a thumbs up to the game producer:
Understand the game!
After releasing his star card, the global release day event has come to a successful conclusion.
After the event, on the way back to the hotel, Ling Feng took out his mobile phone and searched online to compare his own abilities with those of other top players.
I have to say that EA really gives me face.
In addition to ranking second in passing ability in the entire game, he also ranks among the top ten in the game in terms of speed ability.
In the game, those with the highest speed ability are Aubameyang of Dortmund in the Bundesliga and Bori of Fürth in the Bundesliga.
The speed ability value of both of them is 96.
Ling Feng shared third place with Arsenal defender Bellerin and Inter Milan player Biabiani.
Even faster than Bale, Kingsley Coman, Sterling and other famous football super horses!
Of course, there is such a thing as game ability value, just take a look.
Especially speed, the most important ability value in the game, will be adjusted according to the player's other attributes, and it is impossible to truly reflect the player's strength!
The most obvious example is Tottenham defender Kyle Walker.
As the second fastest man in the Premier League after Ling Feng, his speed ability value is only 90, not even among the top 20!
This shows that game ratings are really unreliable.
However, when he thought that he would be able to tease Walker about this matter after returning to the national team, the corners of Ling Feng's mouth unconsciously raised slightly.
You know, Walker is full of obsession with his speed ability in FIFA.
This time FIFA 17 is released, there will definitely be a wave of unboxing promotions from major clubs.
Ling Feng could already imagine that after returning to St. George's Park, Walker saw that his speed ability value was only 90, and then complained to his teammates about EA's plan for Sima
. . .
As one of the two best-selling and most well-known football games in the world, the sales of FIFA games in recent generations have exceeded those of live football.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best-selling football game in the world, bar none!
This year, with the novel operation of fixing Messi instead of voting for the cover character, FIFA has attracted more attention than before.
Especially this new cover character is the most popular No. 7 of the Red Devils!
With the huge influence of Manchester United as a platform, FIFA 17 broke the record set by "FIFA 13" in just a few days upon its release, becoming the highest-selling first-release game in the history of the series.
In Lingfeng’s base camp in the UK, the sales volume was even more astonishing, reaching an astonishing 1.5 million copies!
“Ling Feng replaced Messi and became the spokesperson of FIFA!”
“The superstar of the new era!”
"The era of the Red Devils No. 7 is here!"
The Times, Daily Mail, The Guardian, and Manchester Evening News are all vying to report on it!
For the British media and the football world, Ling Feng replaced Messi and became the cover character of FIFA 17, which is something worth bragging about.
This means that Ling Feng has become a player at the same level as Messi!
Even though this cover character was not actively invited by EA, it was just selected through voting.
However, this in itself is enough to show that Ling Feng's popularity has reached the level of a famous superstar all over the world!
For Ling Feng, becoming the cover character of the FIFA game is not only a small achievement in his career.
And there are many benefits.
The better the FIFA 17 game sells, the better it will be for Ling Feng to expand his popularity.
After all, every player who buys the game, even if they don’t know him before, will get to know him because he is the cover character of the game.
However, even though Ling Feng was well aware of the media's turbulent nature, he was still a little baffled by the media praising him so much.
Just being the cover character of a football game, how come he is already on an equal footing with Messi?
It wasn’t until Mendes took the initiative to reveal it to him that he suddenly realized:
“Don’t you know? The shortlist for the Golden Globe Awards will be released next month!”
After Mendes' explanation, Ling Feng finally understood that this giant in the football agency world was conducting Golden Ball public relations for him!
Ballon d'Or, football's highest personal honor!
In the past eight years, it has been monopolized by an unparalleled duo.
And this year is no exception!
In the opinion of most industry insiders, including Ling Feng and Mendes, this year’s Golden Globe Awards is almost certain.
With the two heavyweight championship honors of Champions League and European Cup, Ronaldo will definitely be able to beat Messi, who only has La Liga and Copa del Rey titles.
However, as Ronaldo's agent, Mendes is not satisfied with this!
The reason why he still helps Ling Feng with Golden Globe public relations is because he has a greater ambition:
That is to hope that Ling Feng will be among the top three in the Golden Globe Awards!
As a result, two players among the top three players in the Ballon d'Or are his clients.
He can become recognized as the No. 1 football agent!
And this great blueprint is feasible.
First of all, the top two in the Golden Globe Awards are definitely Melo's.
What Mendes wants to fight for Ling Feng is third place!
After analysis by a professional team, there are three competitors for Lingfeng:
Atletico Madrid and French core Griezmann, European golden boot Suarez and Brazil's top player Neymar!
Ling Feng is weaker than the three in terms of debut qualifications and popularity.
Of course, in addition to considering personal performance, collective honor, qualifications and prestige last season, the Golden Globe Award is also largely linked to the popularity of the players.
Especially this year’s Golden Globe Awards, the selection rules have changed.
The FIFA World Player of the Year and the Ballon d'Or have been merged for 6 years, but this year the two parties announced the cancellation of their cooperation. Therefore, this Golden Globe Awards is a return to independence again.
After the return, "France Football" magazine also made some adjustments to the selection mechanism of the Ballon d'Or:
First of all, the list of candidates for this year's Ballon d'Or has changed from the previous 23 to 30. And the announcement of the top three players has been cancelled;
Secondly, the head coaches and captains of the national teams of each country will no longer have the right to vote.
Those who have the right to vote have become professional football reporters from all over the world.
This leaves room for PR!
Of course, although Mendes has great abilities and connections in the football world.
But he cannot directly press the hands of reporters from major media and vote for whomever he wants.
Of course, he can recommend and promote Ling Feng to these people through various means.
Let them know how outstanding Ling Feng is and how worthy of their vote!
. . .
October 1st.
Evening.
Cheshire.
The lights are brightly lit in the huge mansion.
Ling Feng, who was wearing a couple's hooded sweatshirt, was sitting on the sofa with his girlfriend.
And his public relations consultant and Mendes were sitting opposite him.
“This is the comparison table we came up with after comprehensive analysis.”
Taking a document of more than ten pages from the public relations consultant, Ling Feng glanced at the " "Public Relations Analysis Table" title, and began to look through it carefully.
Football is a team sport. Even if it is to select the best players, collective honor is often the first criterion for selecting the Ballon d'Or.
Since this year is an international competition year, Europe has the European Cup, and the Americas also have the America's Cup, which is held three times every three years.
Therefore, what several competitors need to compare is the collective honors and personal performances they have obtained!
The first is Ling Feng.
As the absolute core of the Three Lions, he almost single-handedly led this struggling England to the semi-finals of the European Cup, tying the team's best record in history.
At the club level, he also played an absolute core role in helping Leicester City miraculously win the Premier League championship and the Europa League for the first time!
Coupled with the domestic League Cup, the great achievement of the Triple Crown has been achieved!
European Cup semi-finals, Premier League champion, Europa League champion, League Cup champion, this is what Ling Feng did last season
In terms of personal performance, Ling Feng played 44 times in the club and scored 28 goals ball and sent 33 assists.
In the national team, he played 8 times and contributed 8 goals and 10 assists!
I played 52 times throughout the season, scored 36 goals, sent 43 assists, and scored 79 goals!
Whether it is threatening passes, opportunity creation, or direct free kicks, Ling Feng ranks first in the Premier League!
Secondly, there is Griezmann, who also shined in the European Cup.
His French team made it all the way to the European Cup finals.
But they lost to Portugal, where Ronaldo is.
Following the Champions League final, Griezmann lost to Ronaldo in a major competition for the second time.
In the end, he did not win a championship.
European Cup runner-up, Champions League runner-up, La Liga third place,
In terms of personal performance, he played 54 times and contributed 32 goals and 7 assists.
The data looks good, but compared with several other competitors, it can only be said to be quite average.
But since he is French.
The Golden Globe Award is also awarded by a French magazine, and it is very likely that there will be a household registration bonus.
After reading the analysis table between himself and Griezmann, Ling Feng continued to look down:
Suarez undoubtedly reached the peak of his career last season.
Although he was unable to represent Uruguay in the Copa America due to injuries.
However, as the leading shooter, he helped Barcelona win La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the Club World Cup, and the European Super Cup.
And his personal performance can definitely be called the number one center today!
Represented Barcelona in 53 appearances, scoring an astonishing 59 goals and providing 22 assists!
He is also the player who directly participated in the most goals in the five major leagues throughout the 15-16 season!
Not only did he break the monopoly of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi on the La Liga Golden Boot, but he also won the European Golden Boot!
The last contender, Neymar, looks a little lackluster next to Messi and Suarez.
Even so, his personal performance is still one of the best players in the entire La Liga.
Represented Barcelona in 49 appearances, scoring 31 goals and providing 25 assists!
At the Copa America, Brazil's performance was very sluggish, and they didn't even qualify for the group stage.
After being eliminated from the group in the Copa America, as an overage player, Neymar led the Brazilian team to win the first Olympic championship in team history!
Of course, the gold content of this championship is the same as the European Youth Championship that Ling Feng won last year. It has almost no reference value.
After reading the analysis of the public relations team, Ling Feng immediately looked at Mendes:
"It looks pretty good. So what do I need to do to cooperate with your public relations and publicity?"
Mendes, who was confident, just smiled lightly:
"You don't need anything. Cooperate, just do your job and continue to perform well on the court!"
"Leave the rest to me!"
Generally speaking, if you want to be praised! For the players of this team to win the Ballon d'Or, the club will definitely have to work hard on public relations.
However, the Manchester United that Ling Feng plays for is definitely the top in football in terms of commercial marketing.
But in terms of public relations skills, it is notoriously poor!
It has even become one of the main reasons why Manchester United has been frequently ridiculed in recent years.
Public relations issues have existed since the Glazer family took over Manchester United.
To give a very simple example, as the most successful club in England, why is Manchester United always associated with conflicts and leaks in the locker room?
In addition to the inability of the successors to control the locker room after Ferguson retired, it also has a lot to do with the inaction of the club's public relations department.
When this happens, as long as we clarify it to the outside as soon as possible or contact the media for appropriate handling, there will be no waves at all.
But Manchester United's public relations staff are like salary thieves who fish and eat and wait to die every day.
Therefore, if he wants to achieve his goal, Mendes feels that he still has to act on his own.
Of course, he is not the only one who hopes that Ling Feng will reach the top three in the Golden Globe Awards.
After Mendes revealed his ambitions, Nike immediately expressed its willingness to fully cooperate!
Nike’s current top brand is still Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, the Real Madrid King is already over 30 years old.
Ten years ago, professional players of this age had already begun to decline, and they were all ready to go to West Asia or the major leagues to find gold.
Even with the rapid progress of modern sports science, the careers of professional players have been significantly extended;
Even Ronaldo's competitive status and physical functions have not declined at all.
However, as a forward-looking sports brand giant, Nike must also prepare for the future.
And Ling Feng is the future they chose!
