[Football] Crown of Thorns

After all the turmoil, the excitement of the European Cup is still in front of us, and a new choice is already in front of us.

Many players seized the time to go to the final vacation. After the disbandment of the Gama national team, they first returned to Porto to gather with their father and his new family for two days and then returned to Lisbon. One was for commercials and owed half the season Sponsor advertisements need to be re-shooted as soon as possible, or the promotional activities of the Portuguese tourism ambassador he serves as the success of the European Cup are even more fervently requiring him to go to the "platform" (bitter! Gama language).

Of course, the most important thing is the transfer.

Dortmund has already listed him, and there are already many clubs competing for bids. The management of Dortmund has sent several clubs to Gama to see his opinion.

From returning to Portugal after the end of the season, and then to the European Cup final, Gama did not return to Dortmund. Naturally, he did not meet directly with those friends he made in Germany-even met the Germans after the group match.

Ge Xiaopang, who received the news, called first.

"...Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm going to transfer."

The two said this, and both sides were silent for a long time on the phone.

"I always thought I could play with you..."

After the wordless sadness, Ge Xiaopang said this.

"It's not my choice, Mario."

Gama said softly.

He doesn't want to transfer, but judging from the club's new contract and the attitude of the head coach, if Gama doesn't want to tear himself apart with them, it's better to transfer than to be sold by someone.

"I, I don't want you to go."

Ge Xiaopang's voice sounded a little hoarse.

"Mario..."

Gama didn't know how to answer.

They are all just players, and it is impossible to really decide on their own when it comes to transfer issues. Even those superstars will be sold off, let alone their new little stars who have just been kicked out.

"Then, if you're free..."

Ge Xiaopang groaned for a while and then hung up the phone.

Looking at the screen of the disconnected phone, Jia Ma pursed his lips, feeling indescribably complicated and entangled in his heart.

He couldn't say whether he was sad or sad, but he just felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Later, Gama also received calls from many people. They were either calm or excited, but none of them made any comments on Gama's transfer.

Hu Mei, who ignored him for a while, also called Jia Ma, and he said seriously, 'It's a good thing you got out, otherwise I'll make you look good'.

Jia Ma could only pretend to cry.

"Come on, but someone in the club fans did say something to you that shouldn't be said, I hope you don't care."

Hu Mei said so.

"It's nothing, I know, but I want to declare that I really didn't mean it."

"Haha, I know, but now someone here is indeed promoting that you intentionally hurt people on the court and..."

Hu Mei coughed twice and then smiled.

Jia Ma felt that he was really wronged, "I don't have the ability to design a bouncing ball to hit someone!"

"Don't pay attention to those nonsense provocative people, but," Hu Mei continued after laughing, "the club also has difficulties, you know, so..."

"I understand, so I'm not angry."

Gama also answered frankly.

"So be it! Good luck!"

"Thank you!"

…………

Let's focus on the transfer issue!

Gama shook his arm, turned around and discussed the transfer issue with Agostinho.

Old Tiha stared at him sadly, "I told you to choose carefully, but you actually agreed directly. How do you want me to negotiate a contract?"

"Uh, what about this~~hehe~~" Jia Ma scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "You are very good at this, I believe you!"

"fart!"

Old Tiha walked away angrily with his fat belly.

Gama hurriedly checked the information on the Internet, preparing to learn more about the history of the club he was going to.

No way, I don't know the history very well, but the famous saying about football's "life and death" can be said to be widely spread.

That's right, I believe everyone already knows that the place Gama will transfer to is the Premier League's Liverpool Football Club (Liverpool Football Club, abbreviated as LIV or LFC), which is called The Reds by the majority of fans.

Regardless of the history before the old days, Gama only looked at the most recent-in October 2010, the New England sports venture capital company (Liverpool Football Club) announced the complete acquisition of Liverpool Football Club.

The old coach Hodgson left the club this year, and the team star Dalglish temporarily replaced the coach position. After that, Dalglish led the team until 2012, which is this year, and led the team to win the club's first trophy since 2006, the League Cup. champion.Dalgshley left after the season.

On June 2012, just before the start of the 6 European Cup, Anfield ushered in a Northern Irishman. Brendan Rodgers became the 1th coach of the Red Country, taking on the burden of leading the Red Army towards revival.

The 39-year-old young coach has achieved good results in the past two years as the coach of the Swansea club, which has allowed him not only to gain rich experience in coaching English football, but also to be recognized by the Liverpool boss.

"Appointing Brendan Rodgers as the manager of Liverpool Club is one of the most important steps, we will gradually build the club, no matter what, everyone will support him..."

Rodgers said in an interview after accepting the appointment, "Everyone will not expect a miracle to appear overnight, but we firmly believe that this club is working hard towards winning the Premier League championship..."

OK!

After understanding these basic situations, Gama turned his attention to other aspects of the club, about some must-know content:

It’s like being able to sing the team song—well, it’s easy, I know the tune and Dott also uses this, and I have to re-memorize the lyrics.

You must know what players and coaches know, such as who are Shankly, Paisley, Dalglish and Gerrard-hehe, can you not know them?

So what else is there to be aware of?

Jia Ma continued to review the relevant materials.

Time always passed quickly, until his black-hearted agent returned to the hotel where he was temporarily staying. After leaving Porto, Gama found an apartment hotel in Lisbon and rented a house to live in. The hotel facilities Everything is kept confidential, and cheapskate Jiama thinks it is worth renting for a month.

Of course, he can't really live here for a month, but it's good to have a temporary foothold.

His dear sister went on vacation with her little singer boyfriend.

I want to go on vacation too!

Gama was shouting in his heart, but unfortunately he still had to squat here hard. In order to adapt himself to the Premier League, he had already started recovery training in advance.

Agostinho squeezed into the room sweating profusely, and shouted as he wiped his sweat, "It's so hot!"

Jia Ma, who had just finished training, turned his head and looked at the sky outside the window. It had rained this morning, and the temperature was not too high at noon.

Glancing at the fat uncle contemptuously, Jia Ma threw him a bottle of water, "You're really disgusting, you've gained another ten catties!"

"Nonsense, at most I gained three catties."

Agostinho retorted.

"Hehe~"

Gama rolled his eyes.

Old Tiha plopped down on the couch after guzzling a bottle of water and got something out of his bag.

"How about the information you read recently?"

He flipped through the files without looking up to Gama.

Gama thought for a while, "I have done some research on the history of the club, and the new coach, the 39-year-old former Swansea coach Brenda Rogers, is really young at the age of being a top league coach," Gama said softly. Smiling, "I watched the video of him playing in the Swansea club before. This Rogers coach is very advocating the ground organization and ball control. He belongs to the kind of coach who is more fancy about the technical level."

"Yes."

The old Tiha made a big hit, "The most important point is that he likes young players and technical players, and he is also very good at training young players and using them."

"It's natural."

Gama smiled, "He was very young as a coach, and his player era was very mediocre. It can be said that he did not have any outstanding experience. If there are experienced stars in the top league teams, he may not be able to shock him. Don't be young. Who can he use as a player?"

"You kid," Old Tiha shook his head helplessly, "Your mentality is not good. You have to respect the coach, even if you can't, you have to pretend to be respectful and obedient, OK?"

"Of course I know."

Gama snorted twice.

Old Tiha glared at him, "Listen carefully, Rodgers has become Liverpool's coach since this season, and he has started to change personnel in the club. The news I got is that he is promoted from the Liverpool youth training team. Andre westdown , raheem sterling and martin kelly dialed into the first team and i heard he signed daniel sturridge , coutinho , miney Ole, Aspas, Ilori, Alberto, etc., it can be said that Liverpool's first team has a lot of people now."

"what do you mean……"

Gama looked over suspiciously.

Agostinho wiped his face, "Since they didn't offer you the highest transfer fee, then you have to make concessions on your contract, but no matter how much you are worth now, your salary in the Liverpool first team It is impossible to surpass captain Gerrard, he is the first class, but I require your salary to be equal to the second class in the first team, so it is more difficult to negotiate."

"So……"

Gama blinked and asked.

He was sure that the contract had been negotiated, otherwise the unscrupulous manager would not be so calm.

Sure enough, Agostinho took out the contract and pushed it, "Look at it, and sign it if you agree."

After taking over the contract, Gama took a quick look. Apart from the roughly the same terms as the previous contract, of course he is most concerned about the contract period and salary.

"Three-year contract, salary is 8 per week, 40% of portrait rights."

In addition, there are bonuses for goals, assists, and championships, and even bonuses if Gama wins various awards such as Mr. Europe.

"looks great."

"Humph!"

The fat uncle snorted proudly, "That's what I talked about. However, a weekly salary of 8 is not a high level. Gerrard's weekly salary is 12, and the two of Chelsea's weekly salaries are even higher. I Originally, I wanted to be able to talk about 11 or 10~~" At this point, he glared at Gama, "It's all your fault."

"Yes, yes, I'm really sorry for you."

Gama apologized.

But Gama scratched his head. At that time, he didn't know what happened. After talking with Gerald for a while, he seemed to be brainwashed and agreed to the other party's request. It was really like being possessed by an evil spirit.

The fat uncle was very sad, "If I hadn't lowered the portrait rights by five points, we would have suffered even more~~"

"Don't be like this, at most I will sign two more advertisements in the future."

Jia Ma, who couldn't bear to be stared at by the fat uncle's resentful eyes, raised his hands in surrender.

"That's what you said."

The fat uncle patted his stomach, "By the way, I accepted a TV program from the UK, just in time..."

Hearing old Tiha excitedly talking about the TV interview he arranged, this time it was Jia Ma's turn to complain... Old Tiha probably did it on purpose!

Knowing that he hates TV interviews and shows the most, old Tiha just gave him this set~~

Agostinho ignored Gama's complaints at all, "...I asked someone from Dortmund to pack up your things and send them to the UK. By the way, the staff of the Liverpool Club gave me some rental information. You first Take a look and then go to see the house, anyway, you have nothing to pursue..."

Listening to old Tihabalabala's arrangement, Gama sighed.

"I'm really losing my rights in front of you!"

"Ha ha!"

Old Tiha was too lazy to care about this worthless guy, "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me after being hooked off by wild men so easily."

"...Hey, what's your adjective?"

Gama was speechless.

Agostinho let out a cold snort through his nose, "Idiot!"

"Hey!"

"If you dare to hold me back, believe it or not, I'll sell the inside story of your transfer when I turn around?"

"Uh please~~"

"Then shut up!"

Gama put his hand to his mouth and pulled, "OK!"

"Humph!"

Tsk tsk, old Tiha is proud again.

Jia Ma secretly cursed.
