Football: My coaches are all world-class stars

Seeing Millie's unhappy expression, Zhang Bo didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, Lewis was on the side, and he seemed to have heard about Zhang Bo's situation.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he interrupted: "Hey, buying a house is a good thing, at least it won't cause you to have no place to live when you squander it all in the future."

As he spoke, he also admired Zhang Bodao: "But you have only been in the UK for a year, and you can buy a house in Nanbu Square, which is really amazing."

In fact, Zhang Bo's down payment mainly relied on the extra money he won from the World Cup in Russia.

It's just that the gambling matter, according to his thinking, is not the right way after all, and it's hard to explain it clearly.

This meeting can only be said implicitly: "I spent all my savings and owed a lot of money to the bank."

Hearing the expression of Lewis, he couldn't help but wondered: "Are you short of funds? Are you really in such a hurry because you want to get a bonus?"

According to Zhang Bo's current weekly salary, it is not a big problem to cover the loan every month.

Faced with some serious questions from Lewis, Zhang Bo smiled and said: "Hey, if the club can't support my house, I will go to West Ham United for an interview tomorrow."

West Ham United, also a team in South London, can be said to be old enemies with Millwall... no, it should be said to be sworn enemies!

The two teams have been filled with blood and tears since their establishment.

West Ham United, formerly known as Thames Steel Works Football Club, is mainly formed by steel factory workers and working class, so people like to call him the Hammer Gang.

It originated from East London together with Millwall. At the beginning of its establishment, the two clubs had many large-scale conflicts in order to compete for territory and survive.

Even though Millwall later moved to southeast London, and West Ham has often played in the Premier League in recent years, as long as the two teams meet in the cup, they must be incompatible, and there are often fights and bloodshed.

In 1972, the two clubs held a friendly match to commemorate Harry Cripps, a player who played for West Ham United and Millwall.However, the fans of both sides did not buy it, and there were bloody fights on and off the field.

Four years later, Millwall supporter Ian Pratt died when he fell from a train while fighting with West Ham fans on the train.West Ham football hooligans chanted: "West Ham boys, we got brains, we threw Millwall under the train."

There are countless conflicts like this, so there was once a rumor that the FA deliberately refused to allow Millwall to be promoted, fearing this terrifying East London derby.

However, although the two are definitely incompatible from the fan level, the flow of personnel in the club is not completely prohibited.

For example, Millwall's top scorer in history, Zhang Bo's Bole Sheringham, joined West Ham United in his later years.

Another example is Glen Johnson, who entered the palace for the second time this year, and also played for West Ham United.

So Zhang Bo's joke, in a sense, is not completely impossible to come true.

Of course, Lewis would not think that Zhang Bo was telling the truth, and he smiled after hearing this: "Don't, if I see the news of your transfer to West Ham United, I'm afraid I'll faint because of a bad heart."

After finishing speaking, his face suddenly straightened, and he said with a bit of seriousness: "Zhang Bo, if you are really short of money, I can invest in you."

Invest in me?

I have heard of investing in companies and government projects, but I have never heard of investing in individuals.

How does this person invest?

Seeing Zhang Bo's confused face, Lewis said: "Don't think too complicated, this is very common."

"I can invest in you to create a personal brand and increase your business value."

Now Zhang Bo understood.

Personal brand, he still understands this.

For example, Ronaldo has his own brand CR7.

Messi, also has a personal clothing brand "EME", which was jointly founded by him and his friend Ricardo Tisci, which is also their initials.

"AZ", which suffered a loss of 2 million euros in two years and was closed, is the personal underwear brand of the famous Swedish player Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

but…

That is the peerless double pride!

Just say that Ibrahimovic is also a superstar!

Just me, a brat, what kind of personal brand, commercial value, who will buy it?

Listening to Lian Lian shaking his head, he said, "Oh, this is too unreliable. Even Ibrahimovic can't create a personal brand. Am I going to die if I do it?"

"Mr. Lewis, I don't want your money lost."

Listening to Zhang Bo's kind advice, Lewis laughed loudly and said, "As the Oscar winner of the Three Realms, I never joke around."

"Zhang Bo, you have your commercial value. As long as you operate properly, Ronaldo and Messi can't compare to you."

Three-time Oscar winner?

Such a big background?

Only then did Zhang Bo realize that the old man in front of him was so famous.

But even if you are a movie star, you can't beat the market rules!

Zhang Bo could only persuade the old man again: "Mr. Lewis, let's talk about this matter later. I have only played a few Premier League games in total. It is too arrogant to talk about my personal brand."

Zhang Bo was really thinking about Lewis, for fear that he would lose all his investment.

It's just that the old man Lewis seems to be a very stubborn person.

He shook his head and said, "There is no risk in investing. When you really become a world-class star, there will not be much return."

"Don't worry, I didn't come up with a whim or a whim."

"I will send you the plan and cooperation agreement later, please take a closer look."

Seeing that Lewis refused to listen, Zhang Bo could only nod his head helplessly, and stopped trying to persuade him.

But on the surface he accepted it, but in his heart he disagreed.

It's not that Zhang Bo doesn't trust Lewis, it's just that this matter sounds too unreliable!

...

The three of them ate and chatted for almost an hour.

After the investment matter was finished, Lewis immediately returned to the state of a fan.

Listening carefully to Zhang Bo talking about the various stories in the team, Zhang Bo sincerely lamented that the best actor is indeed the best actor.

It's just that the deeper we talked, the more extraordinary Lewis was discovered.

For example, when Zhang Bo talked about Xu Erle, he said with a burst of blood: "From his performance, it is not so much a lack of physical preparation as a mental problem."

"He is not demanding on victory, and his eyes are not like yours, which always exudes fighting spirit."

"Maybe it's because I won the World Cup so I didn't pursue it anymore?"

"The specific reason for this is not clear..."

It has to be said that Lewis is well-informed and has a sharp vision, and he really has his own way.

Xu Erle's problem is indeed not on the technical and tactical level, but more on the heart.

But although Lewis could guess it, it must be embarrassing for him to think of a way.

Zhang Bo only shared it as an annoyance, so he won't say more.
