Invincible Haaland at the start

Chapter 25 Who is more dazzling than whom?

There are a total of one stone in football jokes, Arsenal monopolize twelve buckets, and other teams owe two buckets.

And among all these jokes, the one that upsets Nana fans the most is undoubtedly the temperature difference lottery, the most unspeakable one should be selling the captain every year, and the one that makes people hate the most is naturally Asina.

"No four find four", "Since ancient times, the fourth has been an inseparable part of our team", "Spring is here, and it's time for Arsenal to compete for the fourth", "Arsina, Li Wupu", "You fight, Or don't fight, we are all fourth, no increase or decrease", "Our greatest fear comes from Arsenal who are fighting for fourth"...

From 2005 to 2012, except for two thirds, Arsenal were all fourth in the Premier League in the remaining five seasons.

For a team that sells its captain every year and focuses on "high quality and low price" every year, such results are actually good enough.

But anyway, this is Arsenal.

With a solid fan base, a long-standing team culture, world-renowned coaches with unique vision, and even a rich owner, such a team competes for the fourth place every year, which inevitably gives people a feeling that a small fortune is easy and unsettling. A sense of progress.

This season is actually a similar situation. From the beginning of the season to the present, Arsenal's performance has been repeatedly jumping around No.4. If there is no accident, at the end of the season, it is the rhythm of forgetting to eat and sleep for the fourth.

Now, the team has ushered in a wave of consecutive victories in the league, especially after directly killing the strongest opponent in the third game 6-1, the slogan of "guaranteeing three and competing for two" can finally be shouted out loudly.

As for the first, unless Manchester United plays themselves to death, it should be a dead end.

After the game, Lin Yun, Walcott, Ramsey, and Cazorla who scored goals for the team naturally became Derby heroes and were widely reported.

With 10 goals and 1 assist in three games, Lin Yun captured a large number of fans at a terrifying speed.

Jeremy Lin rose strongly in the NBA last year, and "Linsanity" became famous in the United States. Now, the second generation of "Linsanity" is even more insane. After only three games, the name of genius has already swept across Europe.

At the same age, even Messi and Ronaldo are hard to come by. After counting, only Ronaldo can make such a explosive start in his rookie stage.

Of course, no matter who it is, there must be praise and criticism, especially in the world of fake fans. There has always been a proposition: a genius who can't excel is not a genius.

A "violent opportunist" like Lin Yun wants to truly conquer everyone, and there is still a long way to go.

On the contrary, in the eyes of experts, Lin Yun has left the stage of "outstanding potential and worth cultivating", and has become "superior in strength and must be won".

The first to take action was Jonathan Barnett.

Because Lin Yun is underage, other agents can only get in touch with him through his parents, but Barnetta, relying on his influence in English football and his connections at Arsenal, actually appeared directly in front of Lin Yun.

It was the third day after playing Tottenham. In a very private restaurant in London, Arsenal assistant coach Boulder organized a game, but he left with an excuse after Barnett appeared.

Barnett is a bald man with a bit of flesh on his face. He doesn't look very annoying, and his expression is quite serious. The first impression he gives is that of a rather rigid person, but he tries to show off his personality when he speaks.

"Lin, in fact, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. You are a very talented young man... Sorry, I have to tell this lie, because I have been thinking about it for three days, and I really can't think of a better opening line. .”

"It's interesting to start like this..."

"Then let's get straight to the point. You should know what my purpose is. I also know that there are many people like me out there waiting for you to pick. Some of them are not popular at all and are not worth your time. But there are also people , um, maybe one or two—like me, the top of the line.

If you were just an ordinary talent, then our competition would not be so fierce, but obviously, you are not an ordinary talent, but the kind of player who can hit the Ballon d'Or in the future.

In other words, you have the opportunity to be the best in the world in our eyes. "

"Sorry, I don't know much about negotiating skills, but in my opinion, doesn't it make me more confident to bargain with you if you raise me up so hard?"

"Hahaha, lovely young man, I'm afraid you don't know how good you are," Barnett was amused, "Well, now I'm going to start my turning point...you have the potential to win the Golden Globe, But it is very likely that you will never get the Ballon d'Or for the rest of your life, do you know why?"

"Because I lack a top agent?"

"Yes," Barnett snapped his fingers, "If you want to win the Golden Globe, then you need to do a lot of work. In addition to playing beautiful statistics, you also need the media to help you publicize, and you also need someone to help you Canvassing, you need celebrities to help you build momentum, and without a top agent, these are almost impossible...Need I give an example?"

"Ned?"

"Yes, Sneijder," Barnett nodded, "Sneijder in 2010 performed at the Golden Globe level, but he couldn't even make the top three in the final selection."

"But I also have an example here: Messi," Lin Yun said, "his manager is his father. To put it bluntly, the old man should be the kind of guy you say is not popular in your industry. But it doesn't affect Messi's four consecutive tops in Europe."

"That's because Messi plays in Barcelona, ​​which is one of the most influential clubs in the world. Barcelona has already helped him do many things his father should do," Barnett said disapprovingly. , "And your team? Arsenal? Have you forgotten Henry? He was one of the best players in the world for a certain period of time, but he hasn't won a Ballon d'Or once."

"Okay, I accept this statement, I really need an outstanding agent, so the second question comes, why you?"

Lin Yun looked directly into Barnett's eyes.

"Mendez, Raiola, Paul Stretford... Let's start with the Golden Globe you just mentioned. Mendes' Ronaldo has already won the Golden Globe. Raio Ra helped Nedved lift that trophy as well, as for Paul Stretford...well, he doesn't have a Ballon d'Or player like you, but he has Wayne Rooney, and you? Bale? I admit that he is very successful now, but I don't see your advantage in him."

"It's a very sharp question. Fortunately, I have already thought about the answer." Barnett smiled slightly. "I guarantee that in this summer, Gareth will become the most dazzling person in the entire world of football."

"Then we'll wait until then."

If Lin Yun's guess is correct, his so-called "most dazzling person" is nothing more than which club he joined with a record transfer fee.

In the eyes of the agent, this is indeed a kind of glory that can be boasted for a lifetime, and it is also one of the signs of their career success.

But in Lin Yun's eyes, wanting to be "the most dazzling person" is not just as simple as making a fortune.

Just like the game the day before yesterday, Bell was already an absolute superstar famous all over the world, while he was just a fledgling boy, and the difference in value between the two was more than ten times, but in the end?Who is the most beautiful cub in the audience?
For another example, what if he directly led Arsenal to the Champions League this season?
At that time, even if Bale joined Real Madrid/Barcelona/Manchester City/Chelsea or any club for a sky-high price, so what?Who is more dazzling than whom?
Of course, only if...
