[Football] Crown of Thorns

The consumption index in the UK is really high!

After resting for two or three days, Jia Ma started complaining with his friends on the phone.

Veloso on the other end of the phone was almost pissed off by the increasingly shameless Gama, "Your income is so high."

"What's the high, my previous salary was very low."

Gama replied unconvinced.

"Hehe," Veloso really wanted to crawl over the phone line and slap him, "Where are all your endorsement fees and advertising fees? Don't tell me you put them all in the bank."

"How do you know that I have deposited in the bank?"

Gama answered solemnly.

Veloso: ┳_┳

"Don't tell me your broker didn't invest in you or get someone to help you run something."

Although everyone says that players have high incomes, they also spend a lot of money. Players eat a meal of youth, and many of them have life-long diseases after retiring. How can they not earn enough for these expenses?In the past, because the players only knew how to spend while they were playing, I don’t know how many players went bankrupt after retiring. Now the players are smart and know how to invest the money they earn to ensure their future life after retirement.

These tasks are generally done with the help of brokers or other hired professionals.

"This, haha, yes!"

"Oh shit, oh, do you even know that?"

Hearing Gama's guilty reply, Veloso was going crazy—how could this guy be so stupid? ? ?

"I bought two houses."

In addition to the residence in Porto, Gama bought a property in Lisbon for Joanna (as a part of the dowry - Gama).

The biggest wish of the Orientals is to buy a house. It is probably a habit left by the agricultural society. Once you have your own house, you will be half at ease. Think about it, if Leizi hadn’t bought the house with the little salary he earned back then under the compulsion of his parents What to say in order to prepare for a family in the future, I guess he will still have to rely on his parents to support him after he retires... Later, half of the money to open the bar is still paid by his parents...

"I'm really mad at you."

Veloso yelled on the phone, and his reaction attracted the attention of other people in the living room. Veloso got up and walked out of the house embarrassedly when he realized this, "You idiot, aren't you a midfielder who knows how to use his brain? You Do you know what investment is?"

"Investments can also lose money..."

Gama muttered.

"What did you say?"

"Uh, it's nothing, Miguel, you are too angry. Is it because of the hot weather in Lisbon?"

Gama complained.

Once again, Veloso felt that since he was kidnapped by Furtado and became Gama's little friend, he had really become an old mother, and his heart was tired.

"I'm going to transfer."

Veloso looked back at the agent who was talking in the eye room, "Maybe like you, go to the Premier League."

"Huh, really?"

Gama shouted happily.

"Well, it's almost time to order."

Veloso sighed.

"Hey buddy, which club are you going to, won't you become a mortal enemy with me?"

"Get out, I really want to be your sworn enemy."

Veloso roared angrily.

"Hey, don't be so darling, don't be too irritable~~"

Gama is really happy.

"Oh, you give me, wait!"

Veloso sneered, "Be careful when I go to England."

"...Hey, Miguel, we are good friends!"

Gama pretended to be crying.

"……roll!"

…………

On this end, Chris poked his head out in the open kitchen, "Xiko, do you want fish or beef?"

"beef!"

Gama strolled over to the kitchen counter, staring at Chris' corned beef, "I'm so hungry."

Chris turned his head to look at him. Why does the 1.9-meter tall muscular man look so cute in a flowered apron?

Jia Ma also tilted his head, thinking about various Internet vocabulary.

"It was Mister Veloso just now!"

Hearing Gama's yell, Chris probably knew why.

"Ok!"

Stretching out his hand to eat the sliced ​​fruit from the plate that Chris handed over, Gama nodded, "Mig is also moving to the UK, it would be great to have an acquaintance here in the future."

Chris was speechless, "He's still a person who can go for a meal."

"Haha, you're right."

Gama laughed.

The two chatted, and Gama chatted with Chris while watching Chris cook.

"...The consumption in the UK is really high, much more than what I spent in Germany!"

Speaking of this, Jia Ma still felt very uncomfortable.

The income sounds high, but the expenses are also high. How much difference can there be in comparison?

"That's right," Chris took out the marinated beef and prepared to fry it, "but I have calculated that the local consumption level in Liverpool is still relatively low compared with other cities in the UK in terms of living consumption and prices, but the life in Liverpool The cost is 15%-20% higher than that in the southern part of the UK. For example, this," he held up the egg in his hand, "a dozen eggs cost about 1.30 pounds, a can of Coke costs 80P, and a fried rice in Chinatown costs 2 pounds , A bag of bread is about 30P-90P, and a bottle of milk is about 36P," he shrugged and began to beat the egg liquid, "In short, the cost of living is indeed higher than in Dortmund."

"That's right, everything is expensive, and Chinese food is even more expensive."

Gama sighed.

"I've been to a supermarket near here. Most of the local people buy food and daily necessities here, but the food inside is not cheap. A small box of dozens of green beans costs 2 pounds. The cheapest vegetables are tomatoes, Potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, and lettuce." Chris laughed suddenly, "Anyway, the British menu is just like that, and you can only eat white water vegetables, it's not bad!"

"Oh, I'm not alive~~"

Gama ying ying.

Seeing Gama's pretentiousness, Chris continued jokingly, "I heard that the British are very particular about meat food. Usually, beef is more expensive than pork, and pork is more expensive than chicken. Do you like it? Beef, so you can only spend more money."

Chris, the bodyguard-turned-home supervisor, burst out laughing.

Smelling the scent coming out of the pot, Jia Ma inhaled, "It doesn't matter, eating is the biggest food in the world, so it's more expensive, at most I'll work hard to make money!"

"well said!"

At this time, the voice of the manager's uncle came from behind him.

Gama turned his head, "Your nose is really long."

Come pick a meal, you!

I don't know whether he understood or was pretending to be stupid, Agostinho smiled and sniffed, "Chris, your craftsmanship is still so good."

Jia Ma's contemptuous eyes could not pierce the thick-skinned uncle's face at all, "Did we talk?"

"Of course."

Agostinho took a few mouthfuls of fruit from the plate and nodded triumphantly.

Gama moved to the Premier League, and his main business positions such as advertising endorsements will also be transferred here, especially the previous clothing endorsements. The UK claims to be the European fashion center (France disagrees), there are many brands, but we have to pick and adapt. It's not easy for Jiama's worth and status. These days, the fat uncle is busy with endorsements and other work.

The meal was ready, the three of them sat down and talked while eating.

"Overall, the situation is good. I finally picked two of them. You can read them later."

After talking about commercials and other things, Agostinho asked Gama about the club's situation in the past two days.

"It came from my physical examination report," Gama said awkwardly, "the body is not injured, it's just that the muscles are tired and the physical fitness needs more time to recover."

"That's not a big problem."

"The transfer news has been released, but I still hesitate to hold a special press conference."

"Hesitating for what?"

"It's just a reporter or something."

Considering that he asked his teammates the British media, hehe, Gama really didn't want to face them.

"No, it must be opened."

Agostinho stared, "This represents your status and the importance the club attaches to you. No matter how much you dislike you, you must hold a transfer conference."

"understood."

Gama understood what Agostinho meant, so he reluctantly nodded.

"The guy who fooled you here hasn't shown his face yet."

asked Agostinho, who was unhappy at the mention of this.

"Come on, we've already met."

Gamma laughed, "But because I have participated in the European Cup, I am the only fool in the club who is officially reporting."

"Hehe~"

The fat uncle sneered twice.

"Did you receive any news about the warm-up match on the 22nd?"

"Mr. Rogers has already told me that I don't need to participate in the first game, and I may substitute two games later depending on the situation."

"Anyway, you are in charge of the game. I have only one request, pay attention to physical fitness and avoid injuries."

"This is obviously two requirements!"

"What did you say?"

"Uh, nothing~"

Agostinho started to talk in a blah blah blah blah, Gama's eyes were blurred and he was in a bad mood.

"Old Tiha is probably in menopause."

Taking advantage of the space where the fat man went to the bathroom, Gama said this to Chris.

Chris choked back his laughter and didn't dare to nod, so he handed Gama a glass of ice water to calm him down.

Life is bitter!

Gama sighed pretentiously.

On July 7, the Premier League Liverpool Club officially announced the signing of the midfielder Da Gama of the Portuguese national team. Although the specific amount of Da Gama's transfer from Dortmund was not announced, it is estimated by professionals that it should be no less than 18 million. After all, two years The previous transfer fee for Da Gama from the Portuguese Super League to the Bundesliga was 2000 million. After two years, Da Gama has shown an upward trend in all aspects. The outstanding performance in the European Cup that ended is a value-added point.

There is also the choice of back number after the transfer of Gama - since his debut, Gama only passed the number 17 when he was a professional rookie. After that, he was the number 8 of the club and the number [-] of the national team. After the transfer, he did not mention the national team. The soul of Liverpool But it is impossible for R[-] and Jia Ma to compete for him or this number. He is not stupid, so there is only number ten (*) to choose from.

Holding up the classic all-red jersey of the Liverpool team for the new season, Gama, who has the new number ten, showed his white teeth to the flashing lights in front of him.

New journey, set sail!

The author has something to say:

(*) In reality, Philippe Coutinho, the No. [-] of the Red Army this season, was transferred from Inter Milan during the winter transfer period, so my family Chico has this number. ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ
