Chapter 516 When we meet again someday, how shall I congratulate you?

Looking at the starry sky in the distance, Yun Sheng whispered softly.

"Xiao Dong, you have been in Europe for some years. On the football field, you are much more mature than the young people from Huaguo who Chen Tao and the others just left a message. However, you still have many things that you can't see through, such as the cruelty of professional football."

"Decades ago, football was just a sport. Although the audience was huge, everyone just regarded football as a form of entertainment, that's all. But now it is different. Football has completely become a commercial activity. High advertising fees, endorsement fees, live broadcast fees, etc. have made clubs extremely hungry for results."

"Under this background, the human touch in football in the past will become a lot colder because of the integration of commercial behavior. For example, many big-name European clubs, when many veterans are declining in form and physical strength, they will choose to terminate the contract with the veterans, regardless of the so-called sophistication of the world. No matter Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, or Inter Milan, this is already the norm in their clubs."

"This cannot be constrained by morality or human relations. Even a good old man like Wenger provides a 'one-year-one-signing' contract renewal method for veterans over 30 years old in the team to ensure that the club will not suffer losses. Many people still can't see this. It shouldn't be."

"And this is true for veterans, so it is even more true for young people. How many young people come and go in top European clubs every year, but in the end there are very few left. Either because of not getting a chance to play, or because of injuries, like you."

"Your experience at Manchester United was very tortuous. If it wasn't for the serious injury in 08, you would still be highly valued by Ferguson. He bought you for 300 million pounds and then loaned you to Belgium to help you level up and get your work permit as soon as possible before returning to Manchester United. But you were seriously injured in the international team. This is the biggest problem that ruined your career prospects."

"Ferguson finally chose to terminate the contract with you. On the one hand, he considered Manchester United. They don't want to spend more wages. This must be the reason on the one hand; on the other hand, Ferguson also considers you."

Dong Fangzhuo was stunned: "Think about me, how do you say that?"

"Because Ferguson also hopes that you can find a next home more easily," Yun Sheng explained. "If you still have a contract with Manchester United, then there may be some restrictions on your departure. Even if someone is interested in you, the Manchester United management may ask for a transfer fee. This is not even within Ferguson's control. Therefore, for the Jazz, the only thing he can help you is to let you leave freely and make choices at will."

"The reason why I say this is not unfounded speculation. Many players that Manchester United have sold over the years have left the team at cabbage prices. It is not that these players cannot be sold at high prices, but because Manchester United has not opened their mouths. Because Ferguson knows that if the transfer fee is lower, then the treatment of the players in the new team will be higher, and this will change. Therefore, when many Manchester United veterans leave the team, almost all of them leave at very low prices."

"In fact, not only Manchester United, but also many European giants. Last summer, Barcelona almost gave away players for free. Players such as Gudjohnsen, Sylvinho, Jorquela, and Enrique almost all left the team for free. It is the same in Real Madrid. Veterans such as Heinze and Cannavaro also left the team at a very low price. This is already the biggest tolerance of the giants for veterans."

"So, Xiao Dong, Manchester United has trained you, you should thank them; and Manchester United terminated your contract with you, I hope you don't have any complaints in your heart, this is not the fault of Manchester United, nor is anyone ruthless. To put it bluntly, if you were seriously injured in Monaco and you are sure that the future is hopeless, do you think Prince Albert will continue to fulfill the contract with you? If that is the case, maybe even I may not be able to keep you."

"For professional players, strength is the most important thing. Other so-called favors, loyalty, and feelings are just add-ons."

Dong Fangzhuo didn't reply, he still looked in the direction of the starry sky, without saying a word.

Until watching them leave an hour later, Yun Sheng didn't know whether Dong Fangzhuo had figured it out.

But I have done everything I can to help him, as to whether Dong Fangzhuo's knot will be resolved, it depends on him.

At night, sitting on the sofa in the apartment, Dong Fangzhuo still looked out the window silently, without saying a word.

Wang Chuhe who went out of the house to go to the bathroom was taken aback by him: "Brother Dong! What's your situation? You still don't sleep so late?"

Dong Fangzhuo shook his head: "I'm thinking about something."

Wang Chuhe sat on the sofa with Dong Fangzhuo: "Well, I would venture to ask, is it because you will meet Manchester United in the semi-final of the Champions League, so you have been thinking about it recently?"

Dong Fangzhuo was taken aback: "How did you guess that?"

Wang Chuhe smiled: "It's just a guess."

Dong Fangzhuo shook his head: "You kid, you are really smart, no wonder the boss always praises you."

Wang Chuhe smiled: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, you and Brother Chen are geniuses, and I am far behind."

"You kid, you are calm and intimidating all the time," Dong Fangzhuo smiled wryly, and he suddenly remembered something, "Brother, let me ask you, Metz didn't sign a contract with you back then, and threw you to Monaco when you were injured, didn't you have any thoughts?"

Wang Chuhe shook his head: "I don't have any ideas. Metz wanted me at first because I had potential; later, he didn't want me because he couldn't see my future. If they knew that I have the strength I have today, they wouldn't be willing to leave me. This is professional football, it's normal."

Dong Fangzhuo covered his face: "Please don't say..."

Wang Chuhe: "What's wrong?"

Dong Fangzhuo: "You are an 18-year-old kid, why do you speak in the same tone as the boss just now, do you want to be so mature..."

Wang Chuhe smiled, and he stood up: "Brother Dong, you should rest earlier. For you now, maintaining a good state and striving to be able to play against Manchester United is the most important thing."

Dong Fangzhuo also stood up immediately: "That's right! Go to bed!"

Soon, the room became quiet.

Dong Fangzhuo's cell phone lit up. He just sent a message to Beckham, also wanting to ask him how he feels about facing Manchester United.

More than ten minutes later, Beckham's message came back.

"If we meet again someday, how will I congratulate you? With tears and silence."
