St Thomas' Hospital, London.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Please come in."
squeak……
"Hi, Lu, 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 venue two days before the start of the European Cup and will not train with his national team teammates.
This situation has happened before and there will be no problem.
But this is the first time Bridge has been called up by the national team, and there is no doubt that he will become a core player of the US men's soccer team. Without him, the team will not be able to carry out real training.
So, what is it that is worthy of him flying back to London from the United States?
Considering some of the trade rumors that came out in the past few days.
It seems that Bridge's purpose of coming is not difficult to guess.
"Sit down. How does it feel to be in the national team?" Lu Yang motioned to Bridge to be more casual, and then chatted with him about everyday things.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Yang took the initiative and asked: "So, do you really want to leave? Leave Newcastle?"
Bridge was stunned, as if he didn't expect Lu Yang to be so direct, and he was a little at a loss.
"It's okay, Bridge." Lu Yang said, "I have dealt with many similar situations in Sanremo. I understand very well every player's pursuit of their inner dreams."
"In the past year, we fought side by side, we were friends, we were comrades-in-arms, and we were even relatives."
"I can feel the hard work you put in for Newcastle when I needed you. Without you we may not be able to achieve what we are now."
"And I can also understand that sometimes our stance and origins have an impact on us. When people are in the world, we can't help ourselves. I understand."
Lu Yang's words made Bridge completely relax.
Bridge said with red eyes: "Brother Lu, I...I...I'm really in trouble."
"Although football is not a top sport in the United States, Major League Baseball is doing better and better, and football still has a certain market in the United States."
"Acker offered me a sky-high fee, not just for endorsements, but also for a series of business developments."
"If it goes well, I hope to become the James of American football."
"It was a huge business empire."
"But all this requires me to first join a non-Chinese-funded team, preferably an American-funded team."
"HXLT and LY7 are currently competing with Aker and Nedidas at a fierce stage. They have almost been completely driven out of the entire Eastern market."
"In the European market, LY7 and HXLT are respectively responsible for launching fierce attacks at the two levels of high-end and cost-effectiveness, and have almost occupied nearly half of the market."
"So they will definitely not allow the future leader of American soccer to be in Newcastle."
Bridge is not very old, and there are many things that his agent, family, mentors, friends, etc. discussed with him.
He also told Lu Yang the truth.
These are indeed problems that have no solution.
Newcastle's salary for Bridge is less than €1 million.
But what Bridge can really get now is more than 5 million euros.
Once he signs, this amount will increase several times.
That's America!
Not other small countries in Europe.
That is also a huge market.
How many players can earn tens of millions of dollars a year through football?
Definitely not much.
But Bridge can do it right away.
And in addition to financial gains, there are also factors such as social status, integrity, etc.
Being famous in your own country is definitely different than being famous overseas.
A player's professional football career lasts only more than ten years.
Bridge must have spent most of his thirties in the United States.
There is nothing wrong with him thinking about it now for the future.
Americans have done a pretty good job in planning their lives.
Ivanka has been preparing for herself to become the richest daughter in the United States since she was a child. Children from wealthy families choose their career path and direction of endeavor from the moment they are born.
But ordinary college students have not even thought about what kind of job they should find after graduating from college.
Among them, there is a difference of more than 20 years of accumulation.
Ordinary people use their heads to win.
If you apply these twenty years to any industry, anyone can become an elite practitioner within that industry.
Bridge is wise, he has a professional team.
"Bridge, you have to know that you still have a five-year contract at Newcastle." Lu Yang also expressed his inner thoughts, "I can go and tell Tang and ask her to let you go."
"Vedian, Versage, Sogel...I delight in the beauty of adulthood."
"But the premise is that the interests of the club cannot be harmed."
"With all due respect, the current offers from Everton and Liverpool are insulting not just to Newcastle, but to you."
"I understand they may have promised you something, but your situation is unique."
"This is your first transfer since becoming famous."
"A good start will save you years of effort in the future. A bad start may ruin your life."
"We Chinese value sentiment and reputation. It doesn't matter whether 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 bidding clubs and do something inappropriate.
otherwise……
He knew Lu Yang's temper.
Letting a player who spent less than 5 million euros be idle for five years is definitely not unacceptable to a club that is willing to spend more than 200 million to buy a player.
But that's exactly what Bridge meant.
As long as Newcastle are willing to let him go.
As for the price, as Lu Yang said, Bridge can stay out of it.
There are cheap ones that are good, and there are expensive ones that are good.
Anyway, players worth 10 to 20 million will definitely not get special treatment in Crystal Palace and Liverpool.
But if it's a little 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 titled "Bridge's terrifying future commercial value."
The article shows that a player of Bridge's caliber will undoubtedly become the greatest and most powerful football player in American history.
Even if his career goes from high to low, he still has a chance 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 have a high probability of entering the American Major League in the future and will have considerable influence in it.
After all the bragging, not to mention many football players in Africa and America, even many football players in Europe lamented why they did not have American citizenship.
It would be great to have such a big country behind you.
"The Sun" even cited the extreme example of Lu Yang.
If Bridge had half of Lu Yang's achievements or strength in his career, the business empire he could build would not be smaller than Lu Yang's.
After all, American capital already has an advantage in this regard.
This article not only allows people to see Bridge's value, but also awakens Bridge.
Bridge's team subsequently expressed a strong desire to enter the major leagues.
This entry does not mean that Bridge joins an American team, but that Bridge will be eligible to obtain shares in some teams in the American Major League and complete all acquisitions at some point in the future.
This is a very far layout.
It is equivalent to James, who just entered the NBA, asking for a wave of Cavaliers shares from the league, 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 this is possible?
This is impossible.
At least James can't do it.
but now……
With Lu Yang's push, the cost for American capital to acquire Bridge will become increasingly high.
Moreover, as more and more people pay attention to Bridge's value, the US capital does not dare to delay this matter for too long.
Otherwise...if Chinese capital really convinces Bridge to stay in Newcastle and become a spokesperson for Chinese capital, then Bridge will return to the United States with a Chinese endorsement in the future, and the U.S. 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.
The US capital wants to take a bite out of Newcastle and turn them into a piece of shit that will be beaten by everyone.
As a result, Newcastle joined the US-funded team and their attitude was frighteningly tough.
This is very different from the weak Chinese capital that everyone thought of in the past.
Soon, some American fans strongly demanded that Liverpool pay a high transfer fee to take Bridge away from Chinese capital. Their slogan was "Let American children go home"!
As the champions of the Champions League, Liverpool has made greater profits this year. It has made another offer before, but now it is difficult to make an offer.
In the end, Liverpool offered Bridge a second offer of 40 million euros.
Forty million euros!
Bridge joined Newcastle for only three million euros.
In one year, his net worth has increased more than ten times!
This is so fantastical.
This is more fierce than any goal to become famous.
Chiesa, Beckenham and other young stars who have been most popular in the past year have been suppressed by Bridge's wave of popularity.
To put it bluntly, this price is almost worth two bridges.
Because Bridge's real worth is less than 20 million euros.
Although he won the Premier League Triple Crown with Newcastle, his statistics are not bad, and he still plays the core position of the team's offense.
But it was only a year after all.
Highlander also led Dortmund to the knockout rounds of the Champions League for two consecutive years, which is why he is worth 75 million euros. Moreover, in the previous two years, Highlander had successively performed incredible statistics in the Bundesliga, winning honors such as the Bundesliga Silver Boot and the German Cup.
No matter how successful Bridge is, he will have to wait for another two years before he can be worth more than 50 million euros.
Faced with Liverpool's offer, Newcastle finally replied: "I suggest Liverpool re-read the article in The Sun."
Liverpool, died.
Subsequently, Everton made an offer.
Fifty million euros!
The Premier League is shocked!
At present, in the Premier League, except for the top strikers, the rest of the players are almost at this price.
this……
However, the war soon emerged with competitors.
"It is rumored that AC Milan is interested in Bridge and plans to pay 60 million euros!"
This news cannot be too fake.
But unfortunately, this news spread all over Europe.
Someone is clearly pushing for this.
The purpose is not to make everyone believe that AC Milan wants Bridge.
But I want some people to sit down and raise prices.
"AC Milan has offered 60 million, but you Americans have the nerve to only offer 50 million? No negotiation for 60 million!" This was Newcastle's response to Everton.
The American boss behind Everton is vomiting blood.
"Seventy million euros!" Liverpool made another offer.
However, according to Jessica, a reporter from the "Golden Globe Frontline" newspaper under "France Football", nearly half of Liverpool's offer comes from sponsors.
American capital is determined to win Bridge.
Newcastle are pleased with the offer.
However, just when Tang Yuqin was about to agree to the marriage, Chelsea suddenly appeared.
Look at Chelsea's offer.
Just ask who can refuse?
Newcastle then helped Chelsea meet Bridge's team.
The Russian tycoons cannot give Bridge an American business empire, but what they are giving Bridge now is much more than what American capital promised.
Moreover, they do not mind that Bridge signed contracts with many American brands after joining Chelsea, and it will not affect Bridge's business expansion in the United States.
Half of the reasons why they won Bridge were for competitive reasons. They were a little dissatisfied with the Argentinian magician Ferreira, the team's attacking midfielder.
The introduction of Bridge can put pressure on Ferreira and at the same time find more possibilities on the front line, which 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 this team.
So words like "You can get more opportunities at Chelsea, there is no place for you in Liverpool, Everton is in a quagmire now and it's hard to say about the future" began to appear in Bridge's ears.
"If you go to Chelsea, even if the development is not good, you can still 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.
Therefore, 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, in which Chelsea paid a transfer fee of 74 million euros for Bridge!
Newcastle transfers the bidding king!
The second most valuable player in Chelsea history!
Bridge went from being a youngster at Newcastle United to becoming an American superstar.
His life seemed to be on the hook.
For a time, everyone in the football world knew about Bridge.
Everyone is talking about this future superstar.
This is the great power of a country when it is reflected in an industry.
Bridge is undoubtedly lucky.
The wisest choice he made in his life was to accept Newcastle's invitation and the call-up to the US national team.
Seventy-four million euros!
Many people in the Premier League are furious.
"He's just a third-rate player and Chelsea are crazy!"
"Bridge is definitely not worth more than 70 million, his price is worth at least 60 million!"
"These people no longer understand basic player values!"
"Three million a year ago, seventy-four million a year later, more than 20 times. How stupid is Chelsea?"
"If Bridget is worth 70 million, doesn't Chiesa cost 90 million?"
"Bridge is not indispensable to Newcastle, and Chelsea's desire to directly buy a competitor may be in vain!"
All the pundits are slamming Bridge and Chelsea.
But because of his reputation for being upright, all major youth training teams in England are secretly recruiting young American players.
Fans all know the value of England's household registration book.
Now everyone understands the previous aspects of the U.S. household registration book.
This situation has actually happened once before.
That is, after Lu Yang became famous, he directly obtained part of the shares of the domestic sports brand HXLT while still in the secondary league, and even quickly established his own personal sports brand.
This allows people to see the value of China’s 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 1, etc.
…
After a series of transfer activities, the traffic in the football market became hot.
I don’t know why, but the selection of the World Footballer and the Ballon d’Or, which were still half a year away, were suddenly mentioned.
At first, someone seemed to say that Bridge's worth might even enter the top ten of the world's footballers this year.
In the end, all major media outlets came to a unified conclusion.
That is, as long as Italy reaches the semi-finals of the European Cup, there will be no one else to win the World Footballer this year.
Even if the French team wins the championship at the same time, Robery still can't say that he can definitely beat Lu Yang, unless Zizzo pulls his hips and Robery carries the French team alone.
Lu Yang's probability of winning the World Footballer and Ballon d'Or is as high as 75%!
However, a media called "My Football" gave a completely opposite comment.
They believe that Lu Yang, as the winner of the World Footballer, wants to win the award again, not only with others, but also with himself.
If the Italian team does not win the championship this year, then the World Footballer should be Robelli, Zizzo or Carlisle, Iselet, Lima, Moreira and others who have achieved good results in the America's Cup.
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 announces the successful acquisition of Sanremo Evening News!”
""My Magazine" announced the successful acquisition of "Newcastle Daily News"!"
""My Magazine" announced the successful acquisition of "Live Football News"!"
""My Magazine" announced the successful acquisition of multiple media outlets including "Voice of Ballon d'Or", "Ballon d'Or Frontline" and other media affiliated to "France Football"!"
A news empire sprang up.
Jessica, the editor-in-chief of "My Magazine", became famous in one fell swoop and became an upstart in the football media circle.
Mergers and acquisitions are not scary.
The scary thing is that the popularity of these acquired media is not low.
McLoughlin asked to leave Manchester United, Nerka said that he and Moric could only keep one person, Praxedes will retire after the European Cup, the whole story of Bridge's sky-high transfer...this summer's breaking news is all here These media reports came out.
As a result, these media have now become one.
This is……
"Matrix! News Matrix! "My Magazine" has great ambitions. It formed a news matrix and completely controlled this summer!"
"Colonel himself stated the horror of the news matrix!"
"What is the purpose of "My Magazine" integrating the matrix into one?"
"Big move! "My Magazine" has a close relationship with Lu Capital!"
"Lu Yang wants to be the emperor of football! Being single-minded in the team is no longer enough for him. He is working hard in football real estate, football sports brands, football media and other all-round fields!"
"Considering the replacement of Chinese capital, whether Lu Yang can get Newcastle's shares depends entirely on his ideas. He may even have control of the football team!"
Just when people are questioning the nature and motivations of "My Football".
"My Football" released a bombshell news: "In view of the imbalance of the current football honor evaluation system, Ake and Nedidas unfairly manipulate football awards."
"As well as the unreasonableness of many football honor evaluation systems such as the Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year, "My Football" officially announced that it will establish the highest new award in the football world after the European Cup this summer - the King of Football Award! "
"The King of Football Award will be evaluated and awarded before the start of each season, aiming to provide an objective, fair and fair evaluation of players who have performed well in the past season and the World Series after the season."
"Every player who wins the King of Football Award will receive a crown made of pure gold and be crowned the king!"
"At the same time, the King of Football Award also has subordinate awards - the Golden Boy Award and the Golden Autumn Award!"
"The King of Football Golden Boy Award succeeds the Turin Sports News Golden Boy Award and selects the best young player under the age of 21 in the past year. The prize is as high as two million euros!"
"Players who have won the Players' Golden Boy Award will not be eligible for re-election."
"The King of Football Golden Autumn Award refers to special recognition of veteran players after the age of 32. With the development of diet, sports medicine, and life concepts, players' careers have been significantly extended."
"Players over 30 can still be at their peak."
"According to statistics, there are currently more than 70 players over the age of 32 in the five major leagues, and this number is still increasing. These players are indispensable to every team, and they deserve to be taken seriously."
"The physical peak limits their competition for the King of Football Award, but as long as you are willing to persist until the end, you will eventually be able to get the honor that belongs to you. This is the greatest significance of the existence of the Golden Autumn Award!"
Subsequently, the King of Football Awards announced the list of the top 30 players for the three major awards.
Lu Yang leads the list for the Football King Award.
Manjujovic leads the Golden Autumn Awards list.
Bridge leads the Golden Boy roster.
Because Chiesa won the Golden Boy Award, his name did not appear on the Golden Boy Award list, but he entered the Ball King Award list!
This alone is enough to prove the fairness of this list.
Because Chiesa's numbers at Newcastle this year are truly incredible!
During the European Cup, the order of this list will also change based on the performance of these players.
Players who are not on the list also have the opportunity to enter the list and counterattack.
The King of Football Award declares their ambition simply and straightforwardly.
They want to redefine the highest standards of honor in football.
The major media were silent for a while.
Neither the Golden Globe Award nor the World Footballer of the Year immediately criticized the Ball King Award.
Because there is a real problem before them.
That is...the King of Football Award is indeed fairer than them.
Just from the process, it is decided that the Football King Award is more reliable than the previous two.
Because the Ball King Award is not stuck in the midfielder position for one and a half seasons, but is set before the start of the new season.
The ranking of awards is almost based on the player's performance in the past season, with at most one European Cup or World Cup added.
There is not much room for maneuvering.
You don’t make a lot of money with awards like this.
The timing of the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer awards determines that they can swing left and right.
Were you invincible last season?
But your performance this season has been average.
Are you super strong this season?
But you failed in all four categories last season!
Do you have a 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!
After all this dodging back and forth, isn’t it ultimately about which club and which football association pays more in public relations fees?
If you don’t organize awards for this reason, what are you trying to achieve?
Is that Jessica crazy?
Doing football for charity?
Just to give fans a truly objective and reliable honor list?
Isn’t that a waste of money?
The Ballon d'Or and World Footballer are simply incomprehensible.
And Ake and Nedidas, who had spent a lot of effort on this year's World Footballer award and were preparing to stab Lu Yang in the back, were also dumbfounded.
Feed the land for a thousand days, use it for a while.
Lu Yang ruined the Golden Globe Award, but Lu Yang would never have imagined that the World Footballer was also theirs.
During the two years when Lu Yang was invincible, they did give Lu Yang two World Football Players.
However, Lu Yang does not have the Champions League this year. Ake and Nedidas have the best opportunity. They not only want to bring out their new god, but also make Lu Yang's reputation fall to the bottom and Lu Yang's personal image. And the collective image of Chinese players has been completely ruined!
Greatly reducing Lu Yang's value.
This is a conspiracy launched from the economic and dispute levels.
The net has already been laid.
The moment Lu Yang accepted the World Footballer Award, sooner or later he would be stepped on by the World Player of the Year.
This kind of thing has happened countless times in all walks of life.
When you stand on a peak, every stone under your feet may become a tool to bury you in the future.
But what Ake and Nedidas didn't expect was.
Lu Yang was actually prepared.
From the beginning, he had no intention of relying solely on the World Footballer of the Year award to add to his reputation.
He is just using each other with the World Footballer.
When the World Footballer sharpens his knife.
Lu Yang was actually recruiting troops as well.
Now that the time has come, the King of Football Award has been announced, and the World Footballer will feel extremely uncomfortable.
If we don't come up with countermeasures in time, the influence of the World Footballer and Ballon d'Or Awards will quickly dissipate until they are annihilated in the next two years!
