After Valencia played against Mallorca at the Mestalla Stadium, it also announced that all games in the seventeenth round of the 0506 La Liga season were over and the winter break began.
Although Aiello was missing in this game before the winter break, facing a team like Mallorca that aims to avoid relegation this season, Valencia did not face much pressure on both offense and defense.
This game was different.
Albelda, David Villa and Aurelio each scored a goal to defeat visiting Mallorca with a score of 3-0.
Because Barcelona also won the last game before the winter break, Valencia still ranked first in the league with a seven-point advantage.
However, David Villa relied on his goal in this game to win the championship.
The scorer list has also risen by one place, surpassing Eto'o who originally ranked second.
Aiello was unable to participate in this game because he went to Turin to receive the European Golden Boy Award.
His goals were still nineteen.
After leaving Turin, Aiello, accompanied by his agent Papa Adrian, came to Versace's Milan headquarters again, this time to shoot a print advertisement and new clothing launch conference for Versace's new brand vers.
Although it wasn't very troublesome, it did take Ai Luo a day.
After finishing everything at Versace, Aiello thought he would have time to have a good rest with his teammates from the National Youth Team on Christmas Eve, but what he didn't expect was a call from his agent Adrian, and he had to get busy again. .
According to Aiello's original intention, he wanted to refuse, but after Adrian's persuasion, Aiello readily agreed, because William Pereira, the president of Nike's European headquarters, called to invite Aiello to Nike.
Telephone number for contract signing at the U.S. headquarters.
In other words, after signing with Nike, he will be able to enjoy Nike's global promotion plan.
Not only will he receive endorsement fees, but he will also gain a lot of fame.
Why not So he called Chen Tao and Feng Xiaoting to say sorry, and then took a flight from Milan Malpensa Airport, accompanied by William Pereira, the president of Nike's European headquarters, and his agent Papa Adrian.
Flights to Portland.
Papa Adrian has already negotiated specific terms with Nike with William Pereira.
So Iroh wasn't worried.
The entire journey was silent.
Starting from Milan, we flew across the entire Atlantic Ocean, and then flew from the westernmost part of the continental United States to the easternmost part near the Pacific Ocean before arriving at our destination, Portland.
When we arrived in Portland, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon on the 25th.
Therefore, William Pereira had a dinner locally under the leadership of Nike's commercial specialist in Portland, and then took a Nike car to Beaverton together in the evening.
It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Beaverton.
The person in charge of receiving the three people this time was Hilary Duff, the deputy general manager of the public relations department of Nike.
And the standard of hospitality was very high.
William Pereira, the president of Nike's European headquarters, accompanied him along the way.
When he arrived at Nike's headquarters, he was also received by the deputy general manager of Nike's public relations department.
Among them, William Pereira also introduced Hilary Duff, the deputy general manager of the public relations department, and she also expressed that she was a fan of Aiello.
Moreover, under the introduction of the former, this beautiful young woman came from Germany, the southernmost part of the United States.
Came here from Houston, Texas.
It can be seen that Nike is very interested in signing Aiello.
Papa Adrian was also very satisfied with this.
At the same time, Ai Luo instantly felt that his status had increased several times.
My heart began to wander.
After the meeting, Aiello and Papa Adrian checked into the five-star hotel prepared by Nike.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, accompanied by William Pereira and Hilary Duff, they went to the World Campus, the headquarters of Nike in Beaverton.
At the door, there were already countless reporters waiting at the entrance of the headquarters.
Most of them are Chinese media.
It is estimated that all Chinese media organizations that have been stationed in the United States for a long time have been invited.
The second is the local media in the United States.
Entering from the door, the road was paved with cobblestones, which made Ai Luo, who was wearing Versace formal leather shoes, a little confused because the pebbles hurt the soles of his feet.
But under the shining of the flashbulbs, he had to face it with a smile.
William Pereira and Hilary Duff on both sides of him also introduced Ai Luo to Nike's culture and business philosophy.

What caught Ai Luo's attention the most was the big Nike swoosh on the front building, which was particularly eye-catching.
The highlight of the "campus" covering more than 178 acres is not its appearance, but environmental protection and sports.
The two-meter-wide cobblestones are lined with bushes.
Therefore, looking all the way, the green belt of Nike headquarters is in very ideal condition.
Although football is not very influential in the United States, even behind basketball, football, and baseball, there is no shortage of people who love football in this land.
Led by William Pereira and Hilary Duff, Aiello quickly made his way to the conference room in the main building.
Papa Adrian had already negotiated the terms with Nike before, so there was no objection, and the only thing left for Aiello was to sign.
Witnessed by more than 40 Chinese and foreign reporters in the conference room of the main building, Aiello signed his name on the contract in triplicate.
Then came the exchange of contracts.
The next step was William Pereira announcing that Aiello has become a football player signed by Aiello.
Therefore, Ai Luo became the first football player to sign with Nike in the history of Chinese football.
After signing the contract, it is the traditional interview with the media.
The interview was still accompanied by William Pereira and Hilary Duff.
This interview basically asked Ai Luo about his mood and expectations of becoming a Nike player this time.
Originally everything went as expected, but this time something unexpected happened.
According to the arrangement before the press conference, the media responsible for this roll call interview did not include Korean media, but I don’t know why the Nikkan Sports Association from Japan took the initiative to stand up and ask questions.
"Aren't you particularly happy to be a contract player with Nike and also get the opportunity to promote Nike's plans in the Asia-Pacific region?"
This is a question posed by a daily sports reporter.
After hearing this question, Hilary Duff, the deputy general manager of the public relations department who was responsible for arranging the interview, frowned obviously, but due to his status, he could not stop the interview.
Otherwise, the scandal of Nike's manipulation of press conferences will be revealed.
Although everyone knows these unspoken rules, it changes once they are stated explicitly.
This will have a serious impact on Nike's reputation.
“Of course I’m happy” Ai Luo kept smiling in response to the reporter and nodded.
In fact, what Aiello didn't know was that because of William Pereira's recommendation, Ailuo got the opportunity to promote in the Asia-Pacific region.
The original football player promoted in the Asia-Pacific region was Lee Young-pyo from South Korea.
This promotion opportunity was snatched by Aiello.
In the past, as a Korean, he was naturally very unbalanced, so he was prepared to embarrass Aiello at the press conference.
"Since you are happy, then you know what you can bring to Nike after you sign with Nike and what benefits you will create for Nike."
After the first round of ordinary greetings, the Nikkan Sports reporter’s questions became more tricky.
After hearing this question, William Pereira and Hilary Duff frowned at the same time.
This question is easy to answer and difficult to answer.
So I started to worry about Ai Luo.
But they obviously underestimated Ai Luo.
The two of them could hear the meaning of the words, and Ai Luo could naturally hear it, but because of his own self-confidence, he answered very coolly and confidently, "I don't know what I will bring to Nike, because that is not me.
Things to worry about” When Ai Luo said this, the reporters were obviously taken aback.
Didn't this make it clear that after signing the contract, they would no longer care about it?
So they kept pressing the shutter in their hands.
The Korean reporter who asked this question also showed a weird smile, as if to say: Boy, you have to pay the price for stealing our promotion plan of the Republic of Korea.
He can already imagine that tomorrow's major sports newspapers will name the headlines with a highly controversial headline: "Shameless Chinese, becomes a parasite after signing with Nike."
The dark lines on William Pereira and Hilary Duff's brows became more and more obvious, and they seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Aiello's answer.
Of course, all this was naturally caught in the eyes of this Korean reporter.
Hey, this is what you want But after all, Ai Luo had nothing to say, so he had to interrupt his thinking.
"Because signing me represents a benefit and I really don't have to worry about what's next.
My job is just to be a football player.
I just have to play every game, right?"

Ai Luo said calmly amidst everyone's surprise.
Meanwhile, his words also made William Pereira and Hilary Duff shine The Korean reporter who just asked the question snorted coldly and stopped answering.
The subsequent Nike press conference was also on track under the guidance of the press officer.
After all, the reporters invited by Nike all understand the unspoken rules of the industry.
Especially for Nike, one of the top international brands in the sports world, ordinary reporters really can't afford to offend them.
The Korean reporters before were just a flash in the pan.
It was noon when I finished the interview.
Nike showed its corporate style and hosted a banquet for Aiello and all the reporters present.
But it was not a luxurious meal, but fast food such as hamburgers and coffee bought outside by the staff of Nike headquarters, which was equivalent to the reporters' usual working meals.
After a while, after Aiello finished resting, he changed into his jersey and sneakers at the print advertising center at Nike headquarters to shoot the print ads.
This is not the first time that Aiello has shot a print advertisement.
He has also shot it before after signing a contract with Versace.
It can be said that he is familiar with the road.
The advertising shoot was so good that even the top photographer hired by Nike was full of praise for Aiello.
In his words, he is: "Athletes born for big scenes."
After the shooting, it was still early, less than three o'clock in the afternoon, and William Pereira proposed to take Aiello to visit the entire Nike headquarters
