Football should be played like me

Chapter 436 Newcastle Standard King, Ball King Award
London, St Thomas' Hospital.

Boom boom boom!
"Please come in."

squeak……

"Hi, Army, Moric." Bridge walked in.

At this time, there are not many players who have not gone to the national team.

Even if you don't participate in the European Cup, you still have to participate in the weekly cup.

Because of Moric's injury, Lu Yang will fly directly to the competition venue two days before the start of the European Cup, and will not practice with his teammates from the national team.

This has happened before, and it's never been a problem.

But this is the first time that Bridge has been called up by the national team, and he will undoubtedly become the core player of the US men's football team. If he does not go, the team will not be able to carry out real training.

So, what is it that is worth flying back to London from the United States himself?
Considering some of the trade rumors that came out the other day.

Bridge's intentions, it seems not difficult to guess.

"Sit down. How does it feel to be in the national team?" Lu Yang signaled Bridge to be more casual, and then chatted with him about homework.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Yang took the initiative to ask: "So, do you really want to leave? Leave Newcastle?"

Bridge was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Lu Yang to be so direct, he was a little at a loss.

"It's okay, Bridge." Lu Yang said, "I have dealt with many similar situations in San Remo, and I understand every player's pursuit of his inner dream."

"In the past year, we have fought side by side, we are friends, we are comrades-in-arms, we are even relatives."

"I can feel your efforts for Newcastle when I needed you. Without you, we might not be able to achieve what we are now."

"And I can also understand that sometimes the influence of our position and background brings us. People are in the rivers and lakes, and we can't help ourselves. I understand."

What Lu Yang said made Bridge completely let go of his heart.

Bridge said with red eyes, "Brother Lu, I...I...I'm really in a difficult situation."

"Although football is not a top-level sport in the United States, the American major leagues are getting better and better, and football still has a certain market in the United States."

"Ake paid me a sky-high fee, not just an endorsement, but also a series of commercial development."

"If the operation is good, I hope to become the James of American football."

"It was a huge business empire."

"But all of this requires me to join a non-Chinese team, preferably an American team."

"The competition between HXLT and LY7 with Ake and Nadidas is already at a fierce stage. They have almost been driven out of the entire eastern market."

"In the European market, LY7 and HXLT are respectively responsible for the high-end and cost-effective two levels to launch a fierce attack, and almost seized nearly half of the market."

"So they will absolutely not allow the future leaders of American football to be in Newcastle."

Bridge is not very old, and many things are discussed with him by his agent, family, mentor, and friends.

He also told Lu Yang the truth.

These are indeed some unsolvable problems.

Newcastle paid Bridge less than 100 million euros in salary.

But what Bridge can really get into his hands at present is more than 500 million euros.

Once he signs, this amount will be multiplied several times.

That's America!

Not other small countries in Europe.

That is also a super huge market.

How many players can earn tens of millions of dollars a year through football?

Absolutely not much.

But Bridge can do it right away.

And in addition to economic benefits, there are social status, integrity factors and so on.

There is definitely a difference between being famous in one's own country and being famous overseas.

A player's professional football career is more than ten years.

Bridge must have spent most of his 30s in the United States.

He is thinking about it now for the future, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Americans have done a good job in life planning.

Ivanka has been preparing for herself to become the first daughter of the United States since she was a child. Children from rich families have chosen their career path and direction of effort from the moment they were born.

But the average college student hasn't even figured out what job he should be looking for after graduating from college.

Among them, more than 20 years of accumulation are missing.

Ordinary people take their heads to win.

Apply these 20 years to any industry, and anyone can become an elite practitioner in that industry.

Bridge is wise and he has a professional team.

"Bridge, you have to know that you still have a five-year contract in Newcastle." Lu Yang also expressed his inner thoughts, "I can go to Tang and ask her to let you go."

"Vidian, Welsach, Sogel... I am very happy with the beauty of adults."

"But the premise is that the interests of the club cannot be harmed."

"With all due respect, the current offers from Everton and Liverpool to you are not only insulting Newcastle, but also insulting you."

"I understand that they may have promised you something, but your situation is rather special."

"This is your first transfer after becoming famous."

"A good start will save you years of hard work in the future. A bad start may ruin your life."

"We Chinese value feelings and word of mouth, it doesn't matter if it's expensive or not. But for American capitalists... if it's not expensive, they will definitely not cherish it."

"So I hope you don't do something inappropriate in the transfer market."

"As long as they are willing to really buy you, then you can definitely leave."

Bridge nodded.

He understood what Lu Yang meant.

He cannot cooperate with the clubs who bid and do some inappropriate things.

otherwise……

He understood Lu Yang's temper.

Letting a player who spent less than 500 million euros go to waste for five years is definitely not unacceptable for a club willing to spend more than [-] million to buy a player.

But that's what Bridge meant.

As long as Newcastle is willing to let it go.

As for the price, just as Lu Yang said, Bridge doesn't have to get involved.

There are cheap ones, and there are expensive ones.

Anyway, players worth 2000 million will definitely not get special treatment in Crystal Palace and Liverpool.

But if it is more expensive, maybe it will be fine.

Newcastle have not responded to offers from Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

But soon, the "Sun" published an article called "The Commercial Value of Bridge's Future Horror".

The article shows that a player of Bridge's caliber would, unsurprisingly, become the greatest and most powerful football player in American history.

Even if his career is high and low, he still has the opportunity to win the above honors.

Under the superstar effect, Bridge will have an entire business empire in the future.

At the same time, he will also have a great probability of being able to enter the American Major League in the future, and he will have considerable influence in it.

After all the bragging, let alone many African and American football players, even many European football players lament why they do not have American citizenship.

It's so cool to be backed by a big country.

"The Sun" even cited the extreme example of Lu Yang.

If Bridge has half the achievements or strength of Lu Yang in his career, the business empire he can build will not be smaller than Lu Yang.

After all, in this regard, American capital has an advantage.

This article not only made people see the value of Bridge, but also awakened Bridge.

Bridge's team then expressed a strong desire to enter the major leagues.

This entry does not mean that Bridge joins the American team, but that Bridge will be eligible to acquire the shares of some teams in the American Major League, and complete the entire acquisition at some point in the future.

This is far from the layout.

It is equivalent to James, who just entered the NBA, asked the league for a wave of shares in the Cavaliers, and there is also a sale order from the league. When he retires, he can directly buy a certain team at the market price.

Do you think it is possible?

This is impossible.

At least James can't.

but now……

With the help of Lu Yang, American capital will spend more and more to get Bridge.

Moreover, as more and more people pay attention to the value of Bridge, American capital does not dare to delay this matter for too long.

Otherwise...if the Chinese capital really persuades Bridge to stay in Newcastle and become the spokesperson of the Chinese capital, then Bridge will return to the United States with a Chinese endorsement in the future, and the American market will be in danger.

In the competition of some products, American products cannot beat Chinese products.

This move alone shocked almost all football giants.

U.S. capital wants to take a bite out of Newcastle, and turn Newcastle into a scumbag that is beaten by thousands of people.

As a result, Newcastle instead recruited American capital, with a terrifyingly tough attitude.

This is very different from the weak Chinese capital that everyone used to think.

Soon, some American fans strongly demanded that Liverpool pay a high transfer fee to take Bridge away from the Chinese capital. Their slogan was "Let the American children go home"!
As the champions of the Champions League, Liverpool has made a lot of money this year. They have made another offer before, but now they are riding a tiger.

In the end, Liverpool offered Bridge for the second time for 4000 million euros.

4000 million euros!

Bridge joined Newcastle for only 300 million euros.

In one year, his net worth has increased more than ten times!
It's fantastic.

This is more ferocious than any fame.

Young stars such as Chiesa and Beckenham, who have been in the limelight recently in the past year, have all been suppressed by Bridge's enthusiasm.

One thing to say, this price is almost worth two bridges.

Because Bridge's real worth is within 2000 million euros.

Although he won the Premier League Triple Crown with Newcastle, the statistics are not bad, and he still plays the core position of the team's offense.

But after all, it's only a year.

Highlander also led Dortmund to the knockout rounds of the Champions League for two consecutive years, which is why they are worth 500 million euros.Moreover, in the previous two years, Highlander had successively played against the sky in the Bundesliga, winning honors such as the Bundesliga Silver Boot and the German Cup.

No matter how smooth Bridge is, he will have to endure another two years to be worth more than 5000 million euros.

Facing Liverpool's offer, Newcastle finally replied: "It is recommended that Liverpool re-read the Sun's article."

Liverpool, pawn.

Subsequently, Everton made an offer.

5000 million euros!

Premier League shock!

At present, in the Premier League, except for the top wave of forwards, the highest price of the rest of the players is almost the same.

This……

However, this war soon emerged with competitors.

"It is rumored that AC Milan is interested in Bridge and plans to pay 6000 million euros!"

This news can't be too fake.

However, the news spread all over Europe.

It's clearly being pushed.

The purpose is not to convince everyone that AC Milan wants Bridge.

Instead, I want to let some people sit on the ground and raise prices.

"AC Milan has offered 6000 million, and you Americans are ashamed to only give 5000 million? There is no 6000 million euros!" This is Newcastle's response to Everton.

The American boss behind Everton is called a hematemesis.

"7000 million euros!" Liverpool made another offer.

However, according to Jessica, a reporter from the "Golden Globe Frontline" newspaper under "French Football", nearly half of Liverpool's offer came from sponsors.

American capital is determined to win Bridge.

Newcastle are happy with the offer.

However, just when Tang Yuqin was about to agree to the marriage, Chelsea unexpectedly appeared.

Look at Chelsea's offer.

Just ask who can refuse?

Newcastle then helped Chelsea meet Bridge's team.

Russian local tyrants cannot give Bridge an American business empire, but what they are giving Bridge now is much more than promised by American capital.

Moreover, they don't mind that Bridge signed with many American brands after joining Chelsea, which will not affect Bridge's business expansion in the United States.

Half of the reason they won Bridge was due to competitive reasons. They were a little dissatisfied with the team's midfielder Argentine Little Fairy Ferreira.

The introduction of Bridge can put pressure on Ferreira, and at the same time, it can find more possibilities on the front line, and it also greatly improves Chelsea's ability to resist injuries.

And Chelsea has a way of doing things. Doesn't Bridge have a team to help him plan for the future?

They directly spent money to unblock the team.

So words like "you can get more opportunities at Chelsea, Liverpool doesn't have your place, Everton is a quagmire now, and the future is hard to say" began to appear in Bridge's ears.

"Going to Chelsea, even if the development is not good, you can go to Liverpool and Everton in the future. But now you go to Everton and Liverpool, if the development is not good, you will be gone."

For various reasons, Bridge and his team finally agreed to move to Chelsea.

So, before the opening ceremony of the European Cup, Newcastle officially announced: "We have reached an agreement with Bridge and hope that he will have a bright future at Chelsea."

"Newcastle Daily" subsequently announced the details of the transaction, among which, Chelsea paid a transfer fee of up to 400 million euros for Bridge!

Newcastle turned out the bid king!

The second most expensive player in Chelsea history!
Bridge went directly from a Newcastle teenager to an American superstar.

His life seemed to be on the hook.

For a time, no one in the football world did not know Bridge.

Everyone is discussing this future superstar.

This is the great power of national power when it is embodied in a certain industry.

Bridge was undoubtedly lucky.

The wisest choice he made in his life was to accept the invitation of Newcastle and the call-up of the US national team.

Seventy-four million euros!

Many people in the Premier League were sour.

"He's just a third-rate player, Chelsea are crazy!"

"Bridge is definitely not worth more than 7000 million, his price is at least 6000 million!"

"These people don't understand basic player value anymore!"

"300 million a year ago, 400 million a year later, more than 20 times, how stupid is Chelsea?"

"If Bridge is worth 7000 million, wouldn't Chiesa be worth 9000 million?"

"Bridge is not an indispensable person for Newcastle, and Chelsea's desire to directly buy a competitor may fail!"

All pundits are bashing Bridge and Chelsea.

But the mouth is honest, and all the major youth training teams in England are secretly recruiting young American players.

Fans know the value of England's household registration book.

Now everyone understands the past of the U.S. household registration book.

This situation has actually happened once before.

That is, after Lu Yang became famous, he directly acquired part of the shares of the domestic sports brand HXLT while still in the secondary league, and even established his own personal sports brand soon.

This allows people to see the value of the Chinese household registration book.

Since then, many young Chinese players have entered the European youth training system, and many ready-made Chinese players have directly joined Serie A, Serie B, La Liga, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue [-], etc.

……

After a series of transfer activities, the traffic in the football market has become hot.

I don't know why, but the selection of the World Footballer and the Golden Globe Award is still half a year away, and it is suddenly brought up by people.

At first, it seemed that someone said that Bridge's worth might be able to enter the top ten footballers in the world this year.

In the end, the major media have come to a unified conclusion.

That is, as long as Italy reaches the semi-finals of the European Cup, then this year's World Footballer will have nothing to do with anyone else.

Even if the French team won the championship at the same time, Robery still can't say that it is a sure victory over Lu Yang, unless Qi Zuo pulled his hips and Robery carried the French team alone.

The probability of Lu Yang winning the World Footballer and Ballon d'Or is as high as 70.00%.

However, there is a media called "My Football", which gave a diametrically opposite comment.

They believed that Lu Yang, as the winner of the World Footballer, wants to win the award again, not only to compare with others, but also with himself.

If the Italian team does not win the championship this year, then the World Player of the Year should be Robery, Zizo or Carlisle, Iselet, Lima, Moreira and others who have achieved good results in the Copa America.

Many people think that the "My Football" media is talking nonsense.

However, soon, "My Football" magazine announced a series of news one after another.

""My Magazine" successfully acquired the famous Italian media "Torino Sport"!"

"My Magazine announces merger with The Sun!"

""My Magazine" announced the success of the acquisition of "Sanremo Evening News"!"

""My Magazine" announces the successful acquisition of "Newcastle Daily"!"

""My Magazine" announces that it has successfully acquired "Pro Evolution"!"

""My Magazine" announces the successful acquisition of "Golden Globe Voice", "Golden Globe Frontline" and other media affiliated to "French Football"!"

A news empire rose from the ground.

Jessica, the editor-in-chief of "My Magazine", became famous in the first battle and became an upstart in the football media circle.

Mergers and acquisitions are not scary.

The frightening thing is that these acquired media are not low in popularity.

Mike Lorraine asked to leave Manchester United, Nelka said that he and Moric could only stay one, Praxades will retire after the European Cup, Bridge's sky-high transfer price... The explosive news this summer is all reported by these media.

As a result, now, these media have merged into one.

This is……

"Matrix! News matrix! "My Magazine" has great ambitions. It has established a news matrix and completely controlled this summer!"

"Da Zuo personally stated the horror of the news matrix!"

"What is the intention of "My Magazine" to unify the matrix?"

"Big move! "My Magazine" has a lot to do with land-based capital!"

"Lu Yang wants to become the emperor of football! He is no longer satisfied by saying one thing in the team. He is working hard in all fields such as football real estate, football sports brands, and football media!"

"Considering the replacement behind the Chinese capital, whether Lu Yang can get Newcastle's shares depends entirely on his ideas, and he may even have control of the football team!"

Just when people questioned the nature and motivation of "My Football".

"My Football" released a heavy news: "Given the imbalance of the current football honor evaluation system, Ake and Nadidas unfairly manipulate football awards."

"As well as the irrationality of many football honor evaluation systems such as the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer, "My Football" officially announced that it will establish the highest new award in the football world after the end of the European Cup this summer-the Ball King Award! "

"The Ball King Award will be evaluated and presented before the start of each season, aiming to evaluate players who have performed well in the past season and the World Series after the season in an objective, fair and fair manner."

"Every player who wins the Ball King Award will receive a crown made of pure gold and be crowned king!"

"At the same time, the Ball King Award also has subordinate awards - the Golden Boy Award and the Golden Autumn Award!"

"The Ball King Golden Boy Award inherits the Turin Sports News Golden Boy Award. It selects the best young player under the age of 21 in the past year, and the prize money is as high as 200 million euros!"

"A player who has won the player's Golden Boy Award will not be able to re-enter the election."

"The Ball King Golden Autumn Award refers to the special recognition of veteran players after the age of 32. With the development of diet, sports medicine, and life philosophy, the career of players has been significantly extended."

"Players over 30 can still be at their peak."

"According to statistics, there are more than 32 players over the age of [-] in the current five major leagues, and this number is still increasing. These players are indispensable for every team, and they should be valued."

"Physical peaks limit their competition for the King of the Ball award, but as long as you are willing to persevere until the end, you will eventually be able to get your honor. This is the greatest significance of the Golden Autumn Award!"

Subsequently, the Ball King Award announced the list of the top 30 players for the three major awards so far.

Lu Yang is leading the list of the champion award.

Manzhujovic leads the list of Golden Autumn Awards.

Bridge leads the list for the Golden Boy Awards.

Because Chiesa won the Golden Boy Award, his name did not appear in the Golden Boy Award list, but he has entered the list of the King of Ball Awards!

This is enough to prove the fairness of this list.

Because Chiesa's data in Newcastle this year is really against the sky!

During the European Cup, the order of this list will also change according to the performance of these players.

Players who are not on the list also have the opportunity to enter the list and counterattack.

The Ball King Award declared their ambitions simply and straightforwardly.

They want to redefine the highest standard of honor in football.

The major media fell silent for a while.

Neither the Ballon d'Or nor the World Footballer of the Year criticized the Ball King Award for the first time.

Because there is a real problem before their eyes.

That is... the King's Award is indeed fairer than them.

Just from the process, it is determined that the ball king award is more reliable than the first two.

Because the ball king award is not stuck in the middle of the season and a half, but is set before the start of the new season.

The ranking of such awards is almost based on the performance of the players in the past season, at most adding a European Cup or World Cup.

There is not much room to operate.

Awards like this don't make a lot of money.

The time when the Golden Globe Awards and the World Footballer are held determines that they can swing left and right at will.

You were invincible last season?
But you played so-so this season.

Are you super strong this season?
But last season you were all empty!
Do you have the World Cup or European Cup?

But we pay more attention to league performance!

Are you the best in the league?
Then we must respect the principles of the competition!

Dodging back and forth, isn't it ultimately a question of which club or football association pays more for public relations?

The award is not aimed at this, what is the purpose?
Is that Jessica crazy?

Do football charity?
Just to give fans a truly objective and reliable list of honors?

Isn't it bad money?
The Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year can't figure it out.

And Ake and Nadidas, who had spent a lot of effort on this year's World Footballer of the Year award and were about to backstab Lu Yang, were also dumbfounded.

Raise Lu for a thousand days and use Lu for a while.

Lu Yang ruined the Ballon d'Or, but Lu Yang never imagined that the World Footballer of the Year is also theirs.

During the two years they were invincible in Lu Yang, they did give Lu Yang two world footballers.

But this year Lu Yang has no Champions League, and Ake and Nadidas ushered in the best opportunity. They not only want to win their new god, but also let Lu Yang's reputation fall to the bottom, and Lu Yang's personal image And the group image of Chinese players is all ruined!
Greatly reduce the value of Lu Yang.

This is a conspiracy initiated from the economic and dispute level.

The net has already been laid.

The moment Lu Yang accepted the World Footballer, sooner or later he would be stepped down by the World Footballer.

This kind of thing has happened countless times in all walks of life.

When you stand on the peak, every stone under your feet may become a tool to bury you in the future.

But what Ake and Nadidas didn't expect was.

Lu Yang had already prepared for it.

From the beginning, he did not intend to rely solely on the World Footballer of the Year award to add to his reputation.

He's just taking advantage of the World Footballer of the Year.

When the world footballer sharpens his knife.

Lu Yang is actually recruiting troops.

Now that the time is right, and the Ball King Award has been awarded, the World Player of the Year is going to be very uncomfortable.

If we don't come up with countermeasures in time, the influence of the World Footballer and the Golden Globe Awards will quickly dissipate and annihilate within the next two years!
