Chapter 864： Crazy football

"Jorge, have you spent a lot of money on news recently?"

In the manor of Sodong in Cheshire, when he saw Mendes coming from Portugal, Pepe asked with a ridiculous smile.

Pepe's tone was somewhat resentful.

It was not what Mendes did to him, but to Su Dong.

Recently, several players in Portugal have obviously over-hyped. For example, Falcao, Cardoso, Hulk and Gatan, etc., have all been speculated by the Portuguese media in turn, even Falcao’s remarks about ending the Soviet era. It's all out.

As a good brother of Su Dong, Pepe really wants to get those players out and ask, why are they?

"Misunderstood! Really misunderstood!" Mendes was a little embarrassed.

"To be honest, I did let a few media speculate on Falcao. You know, the Europa League semi-finals, the fourth year, I must use the topic to play a wave, but I did not expect it to become so outrageous, and, Cardoso and Gaitan's affairs have nothing to do with me."

"Aren't Cardoso and Gaitan both your players?" Pepe gave me a very suspicious look in your eyes.

Mendes sighed, "Look, misunderstood again? I just own 20% of Cardoso, and the remaining 80% is in Benfica's hands. It has nothing to do with me. I made my money early. , I will make money if I sell more, but Benfica, they worry about it the most."

This is still a bit sincere, reasonable, and Pei Peizhen can't say anything more.

In fact, Su Dong is not worried that Mendes will use him to make hype. At his level, he doesn't know how many people are bound to make hype every day. The addition of Falcao and Cardoso is nothing, and it won't hurt at all. Su Dong's interests are not necessarily bad.

Besides, Mendes’s business is indeed getting bigger and bigger, but his interests in Sudong’s side are also impossible to abandon. How could he be so stupid that players such as Falcao and Cardoso would harm Sudong’s interests. Woolen cloth?

Doesn't this mean you are cutting your own flesh?

Su Dong didn't believe that the shrewd Mendes would do this kind of thing from beginning to end, so he just right prevented Pepe from continuing to talk, and signaled Mendes to rest assured, it was nothing big.

"Business is good these days?" Su Dong asked with a smile.

Su Dong knew the character of this guy Mendes.

He hyped players so vigorously, needless to say, he must have seen some opportunities.

Mendes smiled and nodded, "In the past few years, European football has been called a depression. After the subprime mortgage crisis is the European debt crisis. Florentino's second entry into the palace, coupled with the acquisition of Manchester City, has become a hot spot in the European transfer market."

"Now, whether it is Real Madrid or Manchester City, they are relatively stable, and they are basically tonic in individual positions, but this summer, European football may have big moves."

"What's the big move?" Marcelo got excited when he heard it.

This kid is a conscientious supporter.

Mendes leaned at Brazil's left-back. "Remember, there was news not long ago that a Qatar consortium wanted to buy Manchester United?"

Su Dong and the others all nodded. The news spread in the Premier League at that time. It is said that they have been contacted. However, the Glazer family behind Manchester United was asking for too high a price and scared the opponent away, so it was unsuccessful.

"This consortium did not actually give up the idea of ​​acquiring European clubs, but went to Ligue 1."

For Mendes, Su Dong just remembered a piece of news that Wang Chuqing recommended to him not long ago, and blurted out: "Paris Saint-Germain!"

"Yes, the entire acquisition is close to completion. There are too many stakes behind this, including Ligue 1, French football, and even UEFA and World Cup bids. Anyway, it is very complicated. I only know a little bit about the details, but I can be sure. Yes, after Paris Saint-Germain is acquired, there will definitely be another wave."

"That said, the player's worth and annual salary can be increased by another wave?" Marcelo became excited.

This is also human nature.

Playing football, although it is important to like, but in the final analysis, professional football still has to pay attention to benefits.

From the beginning of 2009 to the present, the value of players has really risen.

Apart from anything else, Pepe, Marcelo and David Silva have at least doubled their salaries after coming to Manchester City from other teams, and if they perform well this season, everyone can get it. A generous bonus.

It can be said that they are all beneficiaries of this wave.

When you think about it this way, things will become clear.

Mendes saw the business opportunity and wanted to take this opportunity to boost the value of his players and take the opportunity to make a fortune.

"In addition to the Qatar consortium's acquisition of Paris Saint-Germain, I have also received reliable information. Some rich people from Russia will also acquire European football clubs, but they are still in the contact stage."

"Is it Arsenal's major shareholder?" Pepe asked.

Among Arsenal's major shareholders is a huge Russian rich who has always wanted to eat Arsenal, but has been unsuccessful.

Wenger supported the club's sale to the huge Russian rich. It is said that once it succeeds, Arsenal will receive a large transfer fee to rebuild the team. However, the acquisition failed, and Wenger was forced to shrink his clothes in recent years. On a diet, David Dunn, who supported him, also left the team in despair.

"It's not him, it's another one, but the financial resources are also quite strong, currently considering the Premier League and Ligue 1 teams." Mendes said.

Britain, France, and Germany are big European countries with strong economic power. However, German clubs have clear regulations and are basically impossible to be acquired by foreign investors, so naturally no one cares about them.

As for Spain and Italy, although they are also football powers, their economies are relatively lax.

La Liga is due to the fact that there are such gods as the Western Super League duo. Any team that acquires a La Liga team will have to survive in the shadow of the Western Super League duo. It is difficult to change. As for Serie A, the economy is not to be mentioned, even oneself. There are no stadiums, so what's the development?

"The outside economy is very sluggish, and the sports industry is a good safe haven, so a lot of hot money is pouring in. In addition, professional football has entered the era of globalization. The advertising effect is very obvious, so it is very popular with investors."

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the Abu Dhabi Consortium and Mansour. From the perspective of the advertising effect, investing tens of millions of euros in advertising may not be able to make many storms. You can invest tens of millions of euros to buy. A superstar will let the whole world know in an instant, and the media will even dig out the details.

This is the influence of football!

Today's European football is no longer pure football.

Or it should be said that since football has been professionalized and commercialized, it is no longer pure.

The influx of hot money, the player's worth and annual salary will rise again, this is not a bad thing for Su Dong, Pepe and others.

As practitioners, they can profit a lot from it, which is a good thing.

Of course, if you worry a little more, you must start to care about the development and future of the entire football industry.

After all, football transfer is still a supply-demand relationship. With the supply basically unchanged, with the addition of Paris Saint-Germain and other teams with strong demand, breaking the original balance of supply and demand, the players' worth and annual salary will naturally increase.

After it has risen to a certain level, it has begun to reach a new balance of supply and demand.

However, in this way, it is likely to cause some teams to become more difficult to operate, or even go bankrupt.

But these are not things that Su Dong and others should worry about as players.

To put it bluntly, they just play football.

As long as the ball is played well, are you afraid that there is nowhere to play?

…

Mendes came to Cheshire, certainly not to explain the hype.

In fact, he is here to tell Su Dong that the American sports brand has agreed to their previous offer, and began to discuss Su Dong's lifetime contract with Mendes and Ma Dawei's team.

This will be the heaviest lifetime contract in the history of global sports.

Su Dong knows that this is because the other party values ​​the Chinese and Asian markets in the next few years. The reason why his commercial value is worth is because he has an increasingly powerful motherland behind him, so he also urges Mendes very soberly. Be sure to check the terms of the contract.

Wang Chuqing will personally represent Su Dong to negotiate the details of the contract. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

That is, American sports brands must not do anything that harms China's national interests and hurts the feelings of the Chinese people. Otherwise, Su Dong has the right to be held accountable and cancel the contract free of charge.

For this, Mendes is difficult to understand, but he respects it.

As Su Dong said, it is difficult for people from other countries to understand the recognition and love for the motherland deep in his heart.

It seems that many people cannot understand Su Dong, why he is unwilling to represent other national teams to participate in the World Cup?

If he played the World Cup on behalf of a powerful country, he would have a chance to win the World Cup and become the king of the world, but Su Dong rejected Germany, rejected Spain, rejected Portugal and England, rejected everyone.

They couldn't understand this, only Su Dong knew it.

He was first a Chinese and then a player.

He can not play football, but he can never betray his country or do anything that is detrimental to his country's interests.

In the eyes of many foreigners, this should be considered stupid, but the family education that Su Dong has been fascinated by from childhood to large requires him to do this.

Wang Chuqing understands him and agrees with his views, so she will personally check various commercial contracts for him.

…

After sending Mendes away, Su Dong sent Pepe and Marcelo away, and ran into the gym to train alone.

This season, Manchester City's frontcourt was supported by Su Dong, which led to his heavy task, great pressure and great consumption.

In the long run, it is not a good thing for Su Dong's career, especially for maintaining his state after the age of 30.

Begiristan has promised that the team will introduce wingers and forwards to minimize the pressure on Su Dong and try to give him more rotation and rest time.

After all, Su Dong is the most important core force of this Manchester City!
