Chapter 1887: Boss, are you really doing that?
On July 4, 2009, the U.S. Independence Day, 9:30 am London time, a notice from the official website of the Premier League Manchester United, Manchester United accepted Tottenham's 150 million pounds quotation from Ronaldo. At the same time, the Tottenham Hotspur Club officially announced to the foreign official that they had reached a deal with Manchester United at a price of 150 million pounds to create the world's highest price.
This crazy summer has begun!
For a moment, it shocked the entire European football, causing an uproar in the world football and fans. It's hard to imagine how painful Manchester United felt when they cut the "heart" to Tottenham.
In the transfer market in 2009, there was not too much inflation, and the transfer fee of 150 million pounds was definitely a shocking price.
You know, although Cristiano Ronaldo had shown the temperament of a superstar at the time, he was still a 24-year-old young player. Under the circumstances of that year, Tottenham could pay such a high transfer fee. Courage and vision, but also at great risk.
What about Real Madrid? Why not Real Madrid?
When everyone was shocked, they were question marks. However, Real Madrid has remained silent, and Florentino seems to have forgotten that there is such a football star as Ronaldo. . .
Spurs club manager David Dunn walked into the press conference with the attention of the reporters, sat on the podium in a flash of flashing lights, and started talking with a smile.
"First of all, it is certain that this is a normal transfer. Whether it is Tottenham, Manchester United, Ferguson, Ronaldo, there is no so-called quarrel and discord. Oh, including Real Madrid ..."
David Dunn's opening remarks immediately caused a commotion among reporters at the scene. After a short pause with a bright smile on David's face, he continued to say: "There is no doubt that Ronaldo is Manchester United's legend, merit and great number 7. Ronaldo won 3 Premier League titles, one Champions League champion and one World Cup champion for Manchester United during Manchester United in 03-09. He won 1 European Golden Globe Award and 1 World Footballer.
He has got everything at Manchester United, and C Rocha is a personality that naturally likes to challenge. . . . . . "
"No, it won't be a burden on him ..."
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Andy had a proud smile on his face. Looking at Ronaldo who was being interviewed by the TV station, he could buy Ronaldo, which was definitely a good value-for-money transaction in the opinion of Andy. No one knows better than him that Ronaldo's future achievements and commercial value can be generated, and his own Tottenham club will also become a real giant through repeated victory.
"... I believe that 150 million pounds is a fair number. Manchester United and Tottenham have reached an agreement on this number, and I have nothing to say. Great players have high prices. If you want to introduce such players, then I have to pay a high price. I am very happy to be the most expensive player in the world. I have been accustomed to stress for a long time. I will do my best to play good football and I will use my own performance to prove that the transfer fee paid by Spurs for me It's good value for money. "
"However, I have to admit that this huge transfer fee is indeed a spectacle. Mr. Andy Smith and his great blueprint have indeed brought revolutionary changes to the football world."
"Some media reports have distorted my image. In fact, the real me is not what some magazines and lace tabloids say. I think I am a very easy-going person and others can easily get close to me.
Everyone who has played with me has said that I am a dedicated player and I believe I can adapt well to the new environment. I have always tried to do common things. I like swimming and pay attention to health, but I haven't done anything special. The pressure outside the stadium is the price of fame, life is like that, it's not easy, the most important thing is not the money, but the quality of life. I will focus my attention on football and adapt to Tottenham as soon as possible to make the team bigger. "
Ivana, who was watching Andy watching TV on the side, lamented sincerely, "Dear, this is really a crazy deal."
"Hehe, he's definitely worth the price. Look at it, he will achieve Tottenham!" Andy stared a little, his mouth raised, watching TV's tricky questions faced by reporters on the TV. Laughed.
In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo not only ranked first in the world, but his salary also became first in the world. After Ronaldo officially signs with Tottenham, he can receive a salary of 15 million pounds from White Hart Lane every year, which means that Ronaldo's weekly salary will reach a level of nearly 300,000 pounds, which includes the Portuguese salary and Right to use some portraits.
In addition, Ronaldo is negotiating with Tottenham for other income. One of the requirements is that Ronaldo's income from portrait rights will be 55% and will increase by 25%. If the negotiations are successful, Ronaldo will receive an amazing £ 557,000 weekly salary in the last year of the contract.
According to industry technology, Ronaldo's total income in the six years after the transfer can reach 106 million pounds, which means that the annual salary is close to 29 million pounds. In addition to other extra income, he is likely to exceed Beckham and become the highest-paid player in football. .
Andy also knows that for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years, Real Madrid will be unable to resist the urge to dig a corner, and now Spurs use sky-high transfer fees to combine the advantages of C Luo, under a series of seduce by Real Madrid, c Ronaldo is hard to keep his mind. Although Ronaldo can be used to seduce Ronaldo, this kind of double-lose situation is definitely not something a mature club should do.
If possible, Andy really wants to keep Cristiano Ronaldo at the Spurs club. Cristiano Ronaldo maintains a good competitive state with his diligence, self-discipline, and unwillingness to lose, and is timely after growing older. Adjust your own way of playing. It went on for 3 years and 3 years, and 3 years later. . . . . .
Therefore, taking advantage of the crazy money from Ronaldo in the past few years, Andy and David Dunn have negotiated a good policy. "Buying" Ronaldo, Tottenham not only sees the ball skills, but also aims at its huge commercial value. Tottenham have planned a comprehensive development plan for Ronaldo, intending to pack the football star in all directions, and to cultivate Ronaldo into a core figure in economically driven competitive planning.
In short, this is a crazy summer. Tottenham signed 150 million pounds for Ronaldo, Real Madrid signed 65 million euros for Kaka, and then spent 35 million euros to sign Benzema. . . . . .
This summer, world football belongs entirely to Andy Smith and Florentino, kneeling in front of cheques waving by the hands of almost all club owners in the swearing curse.
In this regard, the big local Abu all called and expressed admiration for Andy's crazy way of throwing money. To be honest, the boss of the gold dollar football, Abu, really would not be so willing to spend 150 million pounds to buy one. The 24-year-old player finally formed, this kind of courage and madness, will not work.
Why make so much money? Not just for fun!
Now that you want to play football, what could be more interesting than playing the realistic version of World Football Manager?
