The Ball at Your Feet

The name Mascherano made Zhao Yaning feel excited. He is different from Milito, a marginal international who has only played a few games. He is a frequent visitor to the Argentine national team. He has a solid defense and excellent technique. It can be said that he is a super-class midfielder. Such a player is very rare.

Although he is still not the main player in this World Cup, everyone can tell that it is only a matter of time before he replaces Cambiasso. Argentina is now playing a single defensive midfielder. Such a style of play is definitely going to be outdated. At that time, Mascherano will definitely have a main position in the Argentine national team.

Generally speaking, the famous players in Argentina will go to La Liga slightly more. After all, Spain is the sovereign country of Argentina, and the style of the Latin country is more suitable for Argentines. Liverpool is a Premier League team after all. Although there are already many Spaniards, it is still a Premier League team after all. Argentine internationals willing to play in the Premier League are rare.

"Why would he think of coming to England to play?" Zhao Yaning asked puzzledly.

Morse was very clear about this. He explained to Zhao Yaning: Mascherano's contract is very interesting: his contract was fine when he was in Argentina at the beginning, but later, the Brazilian team introduced him. When he was with Tevez, his new contract was not signed with the team under the operation of some people, but with the agent company.

And this has become a dilemma for him and Tevez. When they wanted to transfer, they faced a difficult transfer situation. Their contract is in the hands of the agent company, and the agent company leases them to the team for use. They are becoming more and more famous now, and they don't want to stay and play in South America anymore. It stands to reason that in this case, the agency's two options are to sell them or lease them to European teams. This kind of player contract is owned by the agent company and then loaned out. It is very common in Brazil, but in Europe, no team can accept it.

The current market has determined that when South American players arrive in Europe, it is generally difficult for them to be highly valued. In the first two years, they had to pass through Eredivisie, Ligue 1 and Portuguese Super League. In the past two years, although La Liga and Serie A also went to find people on their own, the offer was not very high. If it is a club and the players want to leave, they have no other way but to be exploited by the European teams and earn a little less. But since it is a brokerage company, they naturally refuse to suffer.

Their brokerage company is also very powerful. In addition to having great power in Brazil and Argentina, they also have shares in West Ham United. Therefore, their idea is to loan these two people to West Ham United to play football. If they play well, the two of them can transfer to other giants, and then the agency can make another money. If they don’t play well, they can withdraw to Brazil at any time, and the agency can also make a fortune. Don't lose money.

With this approach, Tevez, who is with Mascherano, does not have too many opinions: he just needs to adapt to the rhythm of European football, and he also hopes to establish a firm foothold before seeking a way out. After all, Ortega, Saviola, and even Aimar, who were in front of him, did not perform as expected. The reputation of Argentine m genius, although it is created by Maradona, has several generations. Thanks to his unremitting efforts, he was almost ruined. Even if Tevez wants to transfer now, the giants are not daring to take over. He cannot go to a big club. West Ham United will come to him. Said that although it was a little bit worse, it was not terrible. If you can make your own worth here, the rich can naturally go. Tevez has a lot of confidence in himself. In his opinion, since he wants to play well, he will definitely be able to play. He is determined to compare himself with Maradona, and he also regards West Ham United as his Naples, and wants to create his own myth.

But Mascherano thought differently. He is a midfielder, not a forward. It's not easy for this position to shine in a small team. Even if they play well, giants are accustomed to observing for a period of time before starting. For a player, how many years can be observed? Moreover, he believes that now is also the best time for him to transfer to a major European team. After all, at this time, there are not many giants in the world with a good waist. Real Madrid bought M Diarra and then rumored that they wanted to introduce the talented Argentine player Gago, while Barcelona was rumored to buy Yaya. Toure, to supplement his weak backcourt lineup. After a long scandal with Senna, Manchester United, under pressure from all quarters, focused on the same outstanding strength, but the nationality is Hargreaves of English nationality. Everyone lacks a midfielder, so Mascherano's transfer is now also at the right time. After all, he still understands that Bitwes sees it clearly, and it is always unreliable to put the contract with the brokerage company. The habits of South America have to be changed when they arrive in Europe. If they do not change, they will be easily squeezed out. He doesn't want to be rejected by the giants for reasons other than competition. Therefore, he is also seeking to get rid of the brokerage company and solve the problem by transferring once and for all.

He gave himself a good reason: the West Ham United coach clearly expressed his dislike for him during his trial, which gave him enough reasons not to go to West Ham United. After seeing what he was thinking, his brokerage company also said that it could consider selling him, but the money cannot be less.

And Liverpool contacted him in this situation. In fact, he didn't have too many choices at this time. The current situation in Serie A is not clear. Although Inter Milan has become very strong, it is a good choice, but their main midfielder is Cambiasso. It is difficult for Mascherano to win high qualifications. The high status of Cambiasso.

Moreover, another problem is that Mascherano’s nationality is Argentina and he does not have an EU passport. Although he commissioned people to check his family tree in detail, try to find out a little connection with Italy, and then apply for an Italian citizenship for himself, but before the summer transfer period, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete. Both La Liga and Serie A have non-European quota restrictions, so his choice is actually not large, and Liverpool is his best choice.

"It's just that the biggest problem with this transaction is that his transfer fee is as high as 20 million pounds."

"So high!" Zhao Yaning blurted out.

Backcourt players are different from frontcourt players. Generally speaking, backcourt players are not worth too much unless they are successful and extremely outstanding world-class players. In particular, Mascherano is just a South American. He hasn't played in Europe yet, and the transfer fee is so high, which is indeed a bit sensational. When Zhao Yaning heard this amount of money, he also understood why Mascherano wanted to get rid of his brokerage company: Such greed for money is indeed extremely rare.

"One aspect is that the players are really strong, and the other aspect is that some people want to cheat us.

Morse explained: His brokerage company owns 11% of Abramovich's shares. Therefore, there have been rumors that Tevez and Mascherano were attracted by Chelsea, and they were put to West Ham United to adapt to the Premier League, waiting for a transfer to Chelsea. Such rumors are unlikely to be true. After all, 11% of the shares are not so influential. However, it is still possible for Abramovich to raise the transfer fee for his unhappy Liverpool.

"Is he really worth so much money?" Abu's ubiquity made Zhao Yaning a little speechless, and this deal also made him a little silent. Mascherano is a good player, but he doesn't know if it's worth so much money. Haman is gone, the team needs a good midfielder, but 20 million players...

"It should be worth it. Coach Benitez is very optimistic about him and hopes to introduce him." Morse continued, "But there is a problem, this time he noticed it. Mascherano's transfer fee is very high. , Even higher than your transfer fee. Coach Benitez doesn’t want to make you unhappy. Therefore, he hopes to get your consent first. If you agree, we will buy him. If you don’t want If someone in the team is worth more than you, we can also buy a player with a lower worth."

When Zhao Yaning heard this, he understood why he had to ask him about this matter. Zhao Yaning's transfer fee is now Liverpool's record. If Mascherano comes, it will break Zhao Yaning's transfer fee record. And such a thing, for the top star, it is indeed possible to cause dissatisfaction. In the past, Zhao Yaning did not care about these matters, and the team would not discuss with him. But now, Zhao Yaning has lost his temper and has a lot of opinions. The club will naturally come to ask him if he is afraid of upsetting him again. Up.

This made Zhao Yaning a little relieved, making a fuss, and it still had some effect. And Morse said that this was what Benitez meant, and Zhao Yaning didn't know if it was true-based on his knowledge of Benitez, it was difficult for Benitez to consider this. It's more like Morse's completion of the game. The big boss of this team has been working hard to keep him all summer, and he has indeed done a lot of work.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yaning felt much better.

"The transfer fee record doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether it's mine or not. As long as it doesn't destroy the salary structure, don't cause conflicts in the dressing room." Zhao Yaning thought for a while and said. To be honest, he is still a little unhappy to buy a midfielder for 20 million, but Morse's work has achieved this step, and he can't be too unreasonable. But even so, Zhao Yaning still raised the issue of salary structure: Mascherano's transfer fee can exceed his own, but his salary has to come down. Zhao Yaning estimated that this requires Mascherano to agree. After all, Zhao Yaning's weekly salary is 90,000, and Mascherano can't be higher than this. The reason why he made this request, which is not a requirement, is just to tell the team ~www.ltnovel.com~ he is not completely out of ideas.

"Don't worry about this, I won't let his salary be higher than yours. Moreover, I try to keep his transfer fee down."

Morse assured him that his attitude made Zhao Yaning unable to say anything. In Zhao Yaning's view, such an attitude is almost the same, "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Chairman."

"This is for my club. And, I have to thank you. You refused the salary increase for the development of the team, and I will let the media promote it for you. This kind of charity should be taken seriously. Please forgive me for the negligence of the club before."

"Anyway, there is no foreign aid in the Premier League with a salary higher than one hundred thousand. I don't like to be the first bird." Zhao Yaning nodded.

"Now it has." Morse smiled bitterly. "Haven't you heard? Chelsea signed Ballack with a weekly salary of 110,000. The salary of foreign aid in the Premier League has broken through a new high."

The salary of 110,000 weeks left Zhao Yaning behind. Forty-two weeks of the Premier League's wages, a total of 840,000 pre-tax income is nothing to Zhao Yaning. What he cared more about was another sentence. Chelsea signed Ballack? It seems that the Premier League is lively.
