Chapter 1886 Crazy Summer
On July 4, 2009, the United States' exclusive day, at 9:30 am London time, a notice from the official website of the Premier League giant Manchester United, Manchester United accepted a quotation of Tottenham to Ronaldo of 150 million pounds. At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur Club officially announced that it had reached a deal with Manchester United Club at a price of 150 million pounds to create the world's first net worth. Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo officially joined Tottenham Club!
This crazy summer has begun!
For a moment, it shocked the entire European football world and caused an uproar among the world football and fans. It is hard to imagine how painful it would be when Manchester United cut his "heart" to Tottenham.
In the 2009 transfer market, there was no serious inflation, and the transfer fee of 150 million pounds was definitely a shocking price.
You should know that although Ronaldo had already shown the temperament of a superstar at that time, he was still a 24-year-old young player after all. In the case of that year, Tottenham was able to pay such a high transfer fee, which showed that Tottenham had the courage and vision, but it also took huge risks.
What about Real Madrid? Why not Real Madrid?
While everyone was shocked, they were all question marks. However, Real Madrid has been silent, and Florentino seemed to have forgotten that there is a football superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo...
Tottenham club manager David Dunn walked into the press conference under the gaze of reporters, sat on the rostrum in a dazzling flash, and began to talk with a smile.
"First of all, it's a normal transfer. Whether it's Tottenham, Manchester United, Ferguson, and Ronaldo, there are no so-called quarrels or discords. Haha, including Real Madrid..."
David Dunn's opening remark immediately caused a stir among the reporters on the scene. After a brief pause in David's face, he continued to speak: "There is no doubt that Ronaldo is Manchester United's legend, meritorious and great No. 7. Ronaldo won three Premier League championships for Manchester United, one Champions League champion and one Club World Cup champion, and one European Golden Ball Award and one World Footballer.
He has got everything at Manchester United, and Ronaldo has a personality that is born to like challenges..."
"No, this won't be a burden to him..."
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Andy had a smug smile on her face. Looking at Ronaldo, who was interviewed by a TV station, being able to buy Ronaldo is definitely a worthwhile deal in Andy's opinion. No one knows better than him that Ronaldo's future achievements and commercial value can be generated, his Tottenham club will also become a real wealthy family through victory after victory.
"...I believe £150 million is a fair number. Manchester United and Tottenham have reached an agreement on this number, and I have nothing to say. Great players are worth a lot of money, and if you want to bring in such a player, you have to pay a high price. I am very happy to be the most expensive player in the world. I have been used to under pressure for a long time. I will do my best to play football, and I will prove with my own performance that the transfer fee paid by Tottenham for me is worth the money."
"However, I have to admit that this huge transfer fee is indeed a wonder. 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, I am not what some magazines and tabloids say. I think I am a good person to get along with, and it is easy for others to approach me.
Everyone who has played football with me said that I am a dedicated player and I believe I can adapt well in the new environment. I have always tried to do some common things. I like swimming and focus on health, but I don’t do anything special. The pressure off the court is the price of reputation, and life is like this. It’s not easy. The most important thing is not money, but quality of life. I will focus my attention on football, adapt to Tottenham’s football as soon as possible, and make the team bigger.”
Ivana, who was watching TV with Andy behind her back, sighed sincerely: "Dear, this is such a crazy deal."
"Haha, he is definitely worth the price. Look, he will make Tottenham Hotspur!" Andy narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his lips, and looked at the tricky questions faced by reporters on TV. Ronaldo was talking happily and smiled happily.
In fact, Ronaldo not only has his net worth, but his salary has also become the world's number one. After Ronaldo officially signed with Tottenham, he can receive a salary of 15 million pounds from Bailu Lane every year, which means that Ronaldo's weekly salary will reach nearly 300,000 pounds, including the Portuguese salary and some portrait use rights.
Moreover, Ronaldo is also negotiating other income with Tottenham, one of which is to 55% of Ronaldo's income from portrait rights and increase with a 25% return. If the negotiation is successful, Ronaldo will receive an astonishing 557,000 pounds of weekly salary in the last year of the contract.
Ye Technology said that Ronaldo's total income in six years after the transfer can reach 106 million pounds, which means that his annual salary is close to 29 million pounds. With other additional income, he is likely to surpass Beckham and become the highest-paid player in football.
Andy also knows that at least two years or three years, Real Madrid will be unable to resist the urge to poach. Now Tottenham has the advantage of hooking up C Ronaldo with a sky-high transfer fee. Under a series of seductions from Real Madrid, it is difficult for C Ronaldo not to be moved. Although he can use liquidated damages to trap C Ronaldo, this loss-lose situation is definitely not what a mature club should do.
If possible, Andy really wanted to keep Ronaldo at Tottenham club. Ronaldo maintained a good competitive state with his diligence, self-discipline, and unyielding spirit, and adjusted his playing style in time after he got older. He became popular for 3 years and 3 years, and then 3 years later...
Therefore, taking advantage of the past few years to make money from Ronaldo, it is a policy that Andy and David Dunn agreed to "buy" Ronaldo. Tottenham not only has its football skills, but also aims at its huge commercial value. Tottenham has planned a comprehensive development plan for Ronaldo, intending to package the football star in all aspects and train Ronaldo to become the core figure in economic driving competitive planning.
Anyway, it was a crazy summer. Tottenham signed Ronaldo for 150 million pounds, and Real Madrid signed Kaka for 65 million euros, then spent another 35 million euros to sign Benzema...
This summer, world football belongs entirely to Andy Smith and Florentino, and fell to his knees in front of the checks waving in the hands of these two people amid the gritted curses of almost all club owners.
In response, the rich man Abu called and expressed his admiration for Andy's crazy way of spending money. To be honest, Abu, the boss of Jinyuan Football, is really not willing to spend 150 million pounds to buy a 24-year-old player who has not yet been finally formed. This kind of courage and madness cannot be accepted.
Why make so much money? Isn’t it just for fun?
Since you want to play football, what else is more interesting than playing the real-life version of "World Football Manager"?
The big news about Ronaldo's transfer to Tottenham has set off a craze around the world. Both Andy Smith and Ronaldo himself have become the focus of public opinion. Tottenham Hotspur Club has also beaten all European club giants for the first time and became the new favorite of the world media. It has become the hottest football club for a while, with great momentum and fame soaring!
Even the football desert in the United States was reported in large quantities due to Andy himself, but it was soon submerged in the overwhelming coverage of Michael Jackson's funeral.
Andy also boarded a plane to Los Angeles and was preparing to attend Michael Jackson's memorial service. To be honest, Andy refused at first. Many American "big figures" classes were more cold-eyed at Jackson's funeral. However, as a member of Hollywood and entertainment circle, he finally decided to attend and give the legend a ride.
