I Want to Be the King of Football

Jorge, have you spent a lot of money buying news recently?

In the manor of Sudong in Cheshire, seeing Mendes who came from Portugal, Pepe asked with a mocking smile.

There was a bit of resentment in Pepe's tone.

Not what Mendes did to him, but Su Dong.

Recently, several Portuguese players have obviously over-fired, such as Falcao, Cardoso, Hulk and Gaitan, etc., all of which have been fired by the Portuguese media in turn, and even Falcao's remarks that the Soviet era will end are out.

As Su Dong's good brother, Pepe really wants to find out those players and ask, why are they?

Misunderstanding! Really misunderstanding! Mendes was a little embarrassed.

I'll be honest, I did let a few media fry Falcao, you know, the Europa League semi-finals, the senior year, I'll definitely play a wave, but I didn't expect it to become so outrageous, and, What happened to Cardoso and Gaitan has nothing to do with me.

Aren't Cardoso and Gaitan both your players? Pepe looked like I was suspicious of you.

Mendes snorted, Look, misunderstood again, right? I only own 20% of Cardoso, and the remaining 80% is in the hands of Benfica, it has nothing to do with me, I have returned to the original. , I'll make more money by selling more and less, but Benfica, they are the most worried.

This is a bit sincere and reasonable, and Pepe really can't say anything more.

In fact, Su Dong is not worried about Mendes borrowing him to hype. At his level, he doesn't know how many people are tied up and hyped. Falcao and Cardoso are nothing, and it will not hurt at all. Su Dong's interests are not necessarily a bad thing.

Besides, Mendes's business is indeed getting bigger and bigger, but his interests in Sudong are also impossible to give up. How could he be so stupid that players such as Falcao and Cardoso damage the interests of Sudong Woolen cloth?

Doesn't this mean that you are cutting your own flesh?

Su Dong didn't believe from beginning to end that the shrewd Mendes would do such a thing, so he stopped Pepe from continuing to speak, and signaled Mendes to rest assured that it was no big deal.

Business is good recently? Su Dong asked with a smile.

Su Dong knows the character of Mendes, he is very shrewd and can't afford to be unprofitable.

He hyped the players so much, needless to say, he must have seen some opportunities.

Mendes smiled and nodded, In the past few years, European football has been called a depression. After the subprime mortgage crisis, there is the European debt crisis. Most teams are miserable and have to shrink their clothes and diet. Fortunately, Real Madrid's Florentino's second entry, coupled with the acquisition of Manchester City, has become a hot spot in the European transfer market.

Now, whether it is Real Madrid or Manchester City, they are relatively stable, and they are basically supplementing in individual positions, but this summer, there may be big moves in European football.

What big move? Marcelo was excited when he heard it.

This kid is a dutiful puppet.

Mendes laughed at the Brazilian left-back, Remember, there was news not long ago that a Qatari consortium wanted to buy Manchester United?

Su Dong and others nodded in unison. This news was widely spread in the Premier League at that time, and it was said that they had already contacted, but the Glazer family behind Manchester United asked too much and scared the other party away, so it did not succeed.

The consortium did not give up the idea of ​​buying European clubs, but went to Ligue 1.

Mendez a little, Su Dong just remembered a piece of news that Wang Chuqing recommended to him not long ago, and blurted out: Paris Saint-Germain!

Yes, the entire acquisition is almost completed, and there are too many stakes involved, including Ligue 1, French football, and even UEFA and the World Cup bid. It's very complicated anyway, and I only know a little bit about the details, but I'm sure Yes, after the Paris Saint-Germain acquisition, there will definitely be another wave.

So, the player's worth and annual salary,

Can it go up again? Marcelo was excited.

This is also human nature.

As for playing football, although liking is very important, in the final analysis, professional football still needs to talk about interests.

From the beginning of 2009 to the present, the player's worth has truly risen.

If nothing else, the likes of Pepe, Marcelo and David Silva have at least doubled their salaries since coming to Manchester City from other teams, and if they do well this season, everyone will get A huge bonus.

It can be said that they are all beneficiaries of this wave.

When you think about it, things become clear.

Mendes saw the business opportunity and wanted to take this opportunity to drive up the value of the players in his hand and take the opportunity to make a fortune.

In addition to the Qatari consortium's acquisition of Paris Saint-Germain, I also received reliable information that there are wealthy people from Russia who are also buying European football clubs, but they are still in the contact stage.

Arsenal's major shareholder? Pepe asked.

Among Arsenal's major shareholders is a Russian billionaire who has always wanted to eat Arsenal, but has never been successful.

Wenger backed the sale of the club to this Russian billionaire. It is said that if it succeeds, Arsenal will get a large transfer fee to transform the team, but the acquisition failed, and Wenger was forced to shrink in recent years. On a diet, David Dunn, who supported him, also left the team in disarray.

It's not him, it's another one, but it's also quite financially strong and is currently considering teams in the Premier League and Ligue 1, Mendes said.

The United Kingdom, France and Germany are big European countries with strong economic strength, but German clubs have clear legal restrictions and are basically impossible to be acquired by foreign capital, so naturally no one cares.

As for Spain and Italy, although they are also football powerhouses, their economies are more hamstrung.

La Liga is because of the existence of the two heroes of the Western Super League. Any team that buys a La Liga team must survive in the shadow of the two heroes of the Western Super League. There are no stadiums, what is the development to talk about?

The economy outside is very sluggish now, and the sports industry is a good safe haven, so a lot of hot money has poured in. In addition, professional football has entered the era of globalization, and the advertising effect is very obvious, so it is very popular with investors.

Don't say anything else, just say that the Abu Dhabi consortium and Mansour, from the perspective of advertising effect, invest tens of millions of euros in advertising, they may not be able to turn up many storms, but they can invest tens of millions of euros to buy. A superstar will let the whole world know in an instant, and the media will even dig out the details.

That's the power of football!

Today's European football is no longer just football.

Or it should be said that since football has become professional and commercialized, it is no longer simple.

The influx of hot money, the player's worth and annual salary have risen again, which is not a bad thing for Su Dong, Pepe and others.

As practitioners, they can profit a lot from it, which is a good thing.

Of course, if you worry a little more, you should start to care about the development and future of the entire football industry.

Football transfers are ultimately a relationship between supply and demand. Under the condition that the supply is basically unchanged, Paris Saint-Germain and other teams with strong demand have broken the original supply and demand balance, and the player’s worth and annual salary will naturally increase.

After it has risen to a certain level, it has begun to reach a new balance of supply and demand.

However, in this way, it is likely to cause some teams to become more difficult to operate, or even go bankrupt.

But these are not things that Su Dong and others should worry about as players.

To put it bluntly, they just play football.

As long as the ball is played well, are you afraid that there is no place to play?

...

Mendes is certainly not in Cheshire to explain the hype.

In fact, he came to tell Su Dong that the American sports brand had agreed to the offer they made earlier, and began to discuss Su Dong's lifetime contract with Mendes and Ma Dawei's team.

This will be the heaviest lifetime contract in the history of global sports.

Su Dong knows that this is because the other party values ​​the Chinese and Asian markets in the next few years. The reason why his commercial value is valuable is because he has an increasingly powerful motherland behind him, so he also told Mendes very clearly, Be sure to check the terms of the contract.

Wang Chuqing will personally represent Su Dong to negotiate the details of the contract, one of which is that Su Dong insists and will never give in.

That is, American sports brands must not engage in anything that damages China's national interests and hurts the feelings of the Chinese people. Otherwise, Su Dong has the right to pursue accountability and terminate the contract without compensation.

For this one, Mendes is difficult to understand, but he respects.

As Su Dong said, it is difficult for people from other countries to understand the deep recognition and love for the motherland in his heart.

It seems that many people can't understand Su Dong and think why he is not willing to represent other national teams to participate in the World Cup?

If he went to the World Cup on behalf of a powerful country, he would have a chance to win the World Cup and achieve great achievements, but Su Dong rejected Germany, rejected Spain, rejected Portugal and England, rejected everyone.

They couldn't understand it, only Su Dong knew it.

He is first a Chinese, then a player.

He may not play football, but he will never betray his country or do anything against his country's interests.

In the eyes of many foreigners, this should be considered quite stupid, but the family education that Su Dong has been familiar with since he was a child requires him to do this.

Wang Chuqing understands him and agrees with his views, so she will personally check various commercial contracts for him.

...

After sending Mendez away, Su Dong sent Pepe and Marcelo away again and ran into the gym to train alone.

This season, Manchester City's frontcourt is supported by Su Dong, which causes him to have a heavy game task, a lot of pressure and a lot of consumption.

In the long run, it will not be good for Su Dong's career, especially after the age of 30.

Begiristan has promised that the team will introduce wingers and forwards to minimize the pressure on Sudong and try to give him more rotation and rest time.

After all, Su Dong is the most important core force of this Manchester City!
