Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 319 Noble Chinese Surnames

After the match against Real Madrid, Manchester City resumed intensive training. The training was not particularly strenuous, mainly because it consisted of recovery exercises.

They need to recover properly.

From late February to mid-March, the schedule is packed. After finishing the Champions League match against Real Madrid, there will be a new round of league matches, followed by the League Cup final, the FA Cup quarter-finals, and the second leg of the Champions League match against Real Madrid.

There are still three league matches to play.

Playing seven matches in just over twenty days is a tough challenge for Manchester City against such a strong team.

In addition to the league, the team also faces two crucial matches: the League Cup final and the second leg of the Champions League. The entire team is under severe pressure.

Two days later, the team will host Blackburn Rovers at home.

Manchester City currently has a points advantage in the Premier League, but Mancini is still not taking it too lightly. In this match, key players such as Shan Yongzhuo, Aguero, and Silva were given a rest, while Balotelli led a reserve lineup.

1:2.

Manchester City's hard-fought away victory against Blackburn delighted Mancini. He loves games where a reserve team can still secure points, as this allows the starters time to rest while maintaining the league lead.

After the match against Blackburn, it's time to prepare for the League Cup final.

To allow the players to relax, Mancini gave the whole team a day off. Although it was only a short day, the players were still very happy.

Shan Yongzhuo only rested for half a day because he still had work to do.

OASIS, which just signed a contract, launched a customized version of the Shan Yongzhuo hoodie. They designed a hoodie and launched a new brand of clothing, so they definitely need Shan Yongzhuo to shoot the advertisement.

Shan Yongzhuo went to shoot the advertisement with high expectations. After all, it was a sweatshirt named after himself, and OASIS is a very popular British brand with affordable prices, which basically ensures that everyone can afford it. This made Shan Yongzhuo look forward to seeing people wearing sweatshirts with his name on them everywhere on the street.

As a result, after receiving the sample, Shan Yongzhuo was completely speechless.

"As expected of a mass-market brand..."

The hoodie comes in four colors: black, red, white, and blue. The style is very flashy, with a large Chinese character "单" printed on the front and the two characters "永卓" printed on the back.

That's it……

Shan Yongzhuo was speechless, but he still cooperated and finished filming the advertisement.

Two days later, the British company OASIS launched the "Single Yongzhuo" brand sweatshirt, priced at only £25, following OASIS's consistent approach of being flashy but affordable.

As soon as this sweatshirt was launched, it immediately sparked a buying frenzy among Shan Yongzhuo fans, especially in Manchester stores, where the sweatshirt was almost sold out, with more than 1 pieces sold in Manchester on the first day.

Sales were even more booming on the second day. More than 5 pieces were sold in the Manchester area alone. Many customers, especially girls, paid for the clothes and left without even trying them on.

Then, a day later.

Manchester City traveled to London to face Cardiff City at the new Wembley Stadium for the League Cup title.

Many fans gathered in London.

Wembley Stadium is packed with fans in all four stands.

Club matches played at Wembley Stadium are often domestic cup finals in England or European-level finals.

For the clubs, Wembley Stadium is a neutral stadium.

Therefore, in matches held at Wembley Stadium, there is no distinction between home and away fans; it's simply a matter of fans from both teams and neutral fans. However, today's situation is somewhat special.

Cardiff City fans are easy to spot. For this Championship team from Wales, reaching the League Cup final is the ultimate honor, and their fans are all wearing Cardiff City jerseys.

Manchester City fans were in a state of confusion.

Some Manchester City fans were still wearing Manchester City jerseys, but the vast majority of Manchester City fans were wearing brightly colored and flashy hoodies.

Especially the Shan Yongzhuo women's cheerleading team, who are always the most in the spotlight, were all wearing the same Shan Yongzhuo sweatshirt today.

Although the colors are different, they are still easy to identify because the hoodies are all the same style, making this cheerleading squad of thousands of women look like a colorful garden that attracts attention.

These are just Manchester City fans. Many neutral fans who came to the stadium didn't particularly support any team; they were there simply to watch the game. Among them were also many fans of Shan Yongzhuo, who were wearing that very flashy Shan Yongzhuo hoodie.

The pre-match footage lingered on the audience in the stands for a long time, and the commentator exclaimed in surprise, "We can see that there are at least 30,000 fans wearing 'Shan Yongzhuo' hoodies."

"I think it might be around 40,000."

"Of the more than 80,000 fans, over 20,000 were supporters of Shan Yongzhuo. In fact, there were probably only around 30,000 Manchester City fans in attendance, and even fewer at the Cardiff City goal..."

"It's easy to guess that those London fans who support Shan Yongzhuo will also support Manchester City, after all, their opponent is only Cardiff City."

"This is the influence of a superstar, the greatest manifestation of the star effect."

"To be honest, I was planning to buy one a couple of days ago, but unfortunately, it was already sold out..."

On the field.

Shan Yongzhuo has finished his final warm-up.

Looking at all the brightly colored hoodies in the room, he felt like crying.

Although he was happy with his influence, Shan Yongzhuo thought the hoodie was too flashy and really ugly.

However, flashy designs have always been OASIS's style, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

“This outfit is really great, my wife bought one too.” Aguero stood next to Shan Yongzhuo and sighed, “It’s a pity I can’t wear it out.”

This involves endorsements.

Balotelli chimed in, "I bought one for my girlfriend and a few ex-girlfriends, but yours with the nameless design is really cool, like a medieval knight's sword."

“Yeah, Shan,” Kompany chimed in, “I also want a Chinese name, it’s really cool. Can I have the same surname as you?”

"Forehead……"

Dan Yongzhuo looked at the guy, thought for a moment, and said, "You don't need to change it. If you put your surname in Chinese, it's 'Kong,' which is a very noble surname in China. The ancestors of this surname are the ancestors of almost all scholars in China in the past."

"Really? Air? Control? That's exciting!" Kompany immediately perked up: "Can you teach me how to write it?"

Dan Yongzhuo gestured on the grass for a long time, which made Kompany even more excited. He immediately gave himself a new name, Kong Yongzhuo.

Other teammates joined in the fun, which made Shan Yongzhuo very depressed.

Because Manchester City has many more "Chinese" players, such as Bayonzhuo, Xi Yongzhuo, Lei Yongzhuo, Mi Yongzhuo, A Yongzhuo...
