Chapter 774 Astronomical Numbers
At twelve o'clock local time, Yang Yang, accompanied by Mino Raiola, walked out of Madrid Capital Airport.
Hundreds of media reporters from all over the world, as well as over a thousand Real Madrid fans, as well as passengers entering and exiting Madrid Capital Airport had already gathered at the scene, all cheering for Yang Yang's arrival.
He is finally here!
Like a king, come to Madrid!
Yang Yang did not have any interaction with the fans or the media at the scene, and was directly invited by the staff of Real Madrid to get into the car and went directly to the La Moraleja Hospital near the airport for a physical examination.
This is one of the best hospitals in Madrid and has a long-term cooperative relationship with Real Madrid.
Carlos Dias, the director of Real Madrid's medical team, has already led the medical team to prepare in the hospital. As soon as Yang Yang arrived, he immediately conducted a comprehensive physical examination.
Blood test, urine test, electrocardiogram, B-ultrasound...
After a series of detailed tests, Yang Yang walked out of the hospital accompanied by Carlos Dias, and appeared again in front of the media reporters and fans who were chasing after him, but he left in a car after only showing one side.
"Yang Yang is in very good physical condition. I seem to see that he is still training every day during his vacation. He is obviously looking forward to the arrival of the new season!" Carlos Dias, who stayed at the scene, announced to the media.
……
From La Moraleja Hospital to the Bernabéu, the distance is not far, passing through the Four Towers business district in Madrid.
The Real Madrid staff sitting in the front row also told Yang Yang that there is the old sports city of Real Madrid. When Florentino was in charge of Real Madrid for the first time, he sold the sports city for a large amount of funds and helped Real Madrid pay off their debts.
Today, the Four Towers business district is already a famous commercial landmark in Madrid.
When Yang Yang came to the Bernabeu, he found that the place was already full of people, densely packed with fans like a tide, surrounding the Bernabeu, and even the traffic on the main roads in the urban area around the stadium was affected.
This enthusiasm surprised even Yang Yang sitting in the car, but what surprised him even more was yet to come.
"What you see now is not all." The receptionist sitting in the front row said proudly.
"What do you mean?"
"There are no tickets for this fan meeting, and the seats are on a first-come, first-served basis. The club has also started the countdown to tonight's appearance a week ago. Real Madrid TV and major Spanish TV stations have also been reporting at length. This has touched the emotions of the fans again and again."
"According to the stadium security, since last night, there have been fans wanting to stand inside, and this morning at four o'clock in the morning, a group of young college fans also took a car for more than six hours to Madrid, trying to enter the Bernabeu."
When Yang Yang heard this, he was completely surprised. Is this too exaggerated?
"Isn't the attendance at the Bernabeu more than 8?" Yang Yang asked.
"Yes, but everyone wants to grab the front row, because there will be some interaction at that time, and you see, there are still a few hours before the joining ceremony, but the front row at the bottom of the stadium has already been robbed. It is initially estimated that there are more than 1 fans inside, and now those outside are still entering the stadium."
Yang Yang and Raiola looked at each other, and they both noticed the dumbfounded look in each other's eyes.
He was still worried, because the debut ceremony was on a working day, which was more unfavorable than Kaka and Zlatan Ibrahimovic's debut ceremony. He was worried about whether there would be enough fans to support him. Yang Yang originally expected to have the same number as Kaka and Ibrahimovic, at least not too embarrassing.
But now it seems that I have far underestimated the enthusiasm of Real Madrid fans.
……
After entering the Bernabéu parking lot from the internal passage, it was Real Madrid's new director Valdano who received Yang Yang.
He invited Yang Yang to his office, first expressed the welcome of Real Madrid and the Bernabeu to Yang Yang, and at the same time gave him a schedule for the joining ceremony of the Bernabeu, and introduced the specific situation of the Bernabeu by the way.
Not long after that, Zidane also came to Valdano's office. He was more familiar with Yang Yang, and he naturally had more topics when they met. The discussion was nothing more than the specific situation of Real Madrid this season.
Valdano and Zidane are Florentino's right-hand men. Both of them are very aware of Yang Yang's status and weight in Florentino's brand-new galaxy battleship, and Yang Yang is currently the number one superstar in world football.
It can be said that this player is basically cared for by the whole team at Real Madrid.
Yang Yang and Zidane have known each other for many years. Although the friendship between the two is not too deep, they both play for Real Madrid now. Naturally, they can speak freely. Zidane also carefully conveyed to Yang Yang his experience during his time at Real Madrid.
For Zidane, what Yang Yang recognizes the most is his behavior. Even in the later years of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, he did not get involved in the club's interest disputes. He focused more on football, which is worth learning from Yang Yang.
And Zidane also highly respects Yang Yang, and even thinks that Yang Yang's current achievements have surpassed him, which makes Yang Yang flattered and polite.
Valdano is also a veteran of the football world. He was Maradona's teammate back then and his coaching career was also very successful. Especially when he was coaching Tenerife, he sniped Real Madrid in the final round for two consecutive seasons, which caused Real Madrid to miss the league championship. Finally, together with Redondo, he was scooped up by then Real Madrid chairman Mendoza to Real Madrid.
Then, Valdano led Real Madrid to a [-]-[-] rout of Barcelona in his first season.
It can be said that whether as a player or as a head coach, he has achieved quite good achievements, and he was also the steward of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship. In the communication with him, Yang Yang also gained a lot.
……
At dinner time, accompanied by Zidane and Valdano, Yang Yang came to the No. 57 restaurant inside the Bernabéu Stadium.
Here, Manuel Redondo, Jose Sanchez, Butragueno, Padessa and other Real Madrid executives, as well as club honorary chairman Di Stefano and other veterans have all been present.
This was Yang Yang's first meeting with them, so it was inevitable to have some polite greetings, and Yang Yang's humble and friendly attitude was also unanimously recognized by everyone. Although he didn't talk much, he was not withdrawn. Whenever he talked about football, he was in high spirits, which completely conformed to the evaluation of him from the outside world.
A dinner was enjoyed by the host and guests, and it was very enjoyable.
By 09:30 on [-], the Bernabéu was already full of seats, and everyone was waiting for the protagonist to appear tonight.
At this time, Yang Yang, accompanied by Valdano, Zidane, Di Stefano and others, appeared in the office of Real Madrid Chairman Florentino. Under the witness of Real Madrid executives and celebrities, Yang Yang Florentino signed a five-year contract at the same time.
Not only that, Florentino also presented Yang Yang with a precious watch full of commemorative value, a precious pen for signing, and a model of the Bernabéu, all of which were reserved for Yang Yang as a souvenir.
"Thank you very much for joining us, son."
After signing, Florentino shook hands and hugged Yang Yang with a smile. It is said that he has been in an indescribably good mood recently.
"On behalf of Real Madrid, I would like to thank you for your choice. It must have been a wise choice, because here, you will become a great player, and tonight, at the Bernabeu, you will definitely feel the love of Real Madrid fans for you."
"Thank you, Florentino, I have deeply felt it." Yang Yang replied politely.
During the whole day in Madrid, almost everywhere Yang Yang walked, there would be enthusiastic Real Madrid fans waiting for him.
But Florentino still shook his head, "No, what you saw today is far from enough."
Yang Yang was at a loss.
"I just met my friend from Adidas and he broke the news to me, I'm sure you will be very interested."
Yang Yang smiled and nodded.
"From the moment we announced your joining to the present, in just two days, there are [-] outlets across Spain that can apply to Adidas for your genuine jersey order. Specifically, we will wait until we announce your jersey number before shipping it to the fans. So far, more than [-] fans have paid for the order."
"fifty thousand?"
Not only Yang Yang was surprised, even Valdano and Zidane were equally shocked.
This is an astronomical figure.
And it's just in Spain, what about Europe?What about the whole world?
Only Jose Sanchez from the Ministry of Commerce kept a confident smile all the time, obviously mentally prepared for this.
"This is not counting the sales of the 11 sales outlets. The specific statistics will only be higher. In addition, tonight, our Bernabeu fan shop has prepared [-] NO.[-] jerseys with printed numbers and names. It will be officially opened for sale after the unveiling ceremony."
Yang Yang smiled wryly. According to his understanding, the price of an authentic Adidas jersey is 500 euros. That is to say, Real Madrid has already earned [-] million euros from jersey sales before they joined.
Of course, this part belongs to Real Madrid's income, and Yang Yang has no right to intervene, but Yang Yang will cooperate with Real Madrid and Adidas in other fields, such as developing Yang Yang's exclusive clothing, which will be shared by him.
But anyway, he still thinks it's outrageous, which is something he couldn't imagine when he was at Liverpool.
In Spain, [-] fans snapped up his jersey in advance, and tonight, it is said that the Bernabéu stadium will be full of seats, and there are tens of thousands of fans outside who cannot enter the stadium and are forced to stay outside the stadium to watch the live broadcast on the big screen.
At the same time, Spanish TV stations predict that in this country with only 4000 million people, more than 2000 million people will watch the live broadcast of Yang Yang's debut ceremony tonight, which is close to half.
Even for the first time, the Madrid Municipal Government implemented traffic control on the neighborhoods around the Bernabéu Stadium on a non-match day, and arranged more than a thousand security guards at the scene to guard and maintain order.
All of this tonight is just for his appearance!
For Yang Yang, this was an unprecedented feeling, even moved.
