football's number one madman

Chapter 236 Be a Teammate with Lee Polo

"What kind of monsters are these, can Northern Ireland advance to the knockout round?"

Virgil van Dijk, on a leisurely vacation on a Dutch beach, shook his head and threw away his phone:
"There is also Portugal, who did not win one of the three group matches, and even advanced through three draws. Is there any reason for this?"

His wife Liko, who was playing with Chihuahua on the deck chair, teased unceremoniously:
"Did you drink too much lemonade? Why is it so sour?"

Van Dyke rolled his eyes, but he couldn't refute his wife's ridicule, so he could only lie down powerlessly.

Whether it is Northern Ireland, Portugal, Iceland, Switzerland, or Slovakia, these teams, which in his eyes are like rookie chickens, are showing their talents in the European Cup at the moment. The last week of May is a holiday for all staff!

They don't even have the qualifications to play poorly in the European Cup!

"Om~~"

The phone that he had just thrown on the small table vibrated again.

Seeing that Van Dyke didn't move, Liko glanced at the screen:
"Wasserman, your agency."

Van Dyke had no choice but to sit up again and pressed the answer button.

For ordinary fans, Wasserman is far less famous than Mendes, Raiola and other brokerage giants. That is because this brokerage company is not headquartered in Europe, but in the United States.

The founder, Kathy Wasserman, whose grandfather was a big shot in Hollywood, has been involved in banking and finance for many years. In 1998, he bought a professional football club at an "ultra-low price" of US$500 million. Wasserman Man Sports Company came into being immediately.

After its establishment, Wasserman's main business includes NBA, NFL and other leagues, involving football, ice hockey, swimming and other sports fields, for example, Derrick Rose, Westbrook, Klay Thompson, Maya Moore, and Former Red Army spirit Gerrard...

From a global perspective, Wasserman has more than 1200 athletes of various types, almost three times that of Barnett.The internal status of the industry even ranks second in the list of global sports brokerage companies, which is said to be second only to Wade, Bosh, Durant, Parker, Chris Paul, Klay Thompson, Guo Ailun, Han Xu and other players CAA - the No. 3 company that also owns Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Spielberg, Cameron, Brad Pitt, Nicolas Cage, Madonna and more Circle the contract of the super boss.

Although it is not clear how the Dutch defender who had been dawdling in the Soviet Super League before was picked up by an American agency, Van Dijk obviously trusted his agency very much.

"Valencia in Spain want to sign me?"

Van Dyke was a little dazed when he heard the news:

"Oh no, of course I know about this team. Southampton's coaching staff also asked us to study their Champions League match against Manchester City... What's the company's opinion?"

The attitude on the other side of the phone was a bit vague:

"The salary package proposed by Valencia is very attractive, the only problem is..."

Van Dijk immediately understood what he meant:
"They already have two strong central defenders, Lee Polo and Mustafi. Do I need to compete for a position?"

The broker hesitated:
"No, according to Valencia, Lee Polo may be more active in the offense in the new season. As long as there is no accident, you will definitely get a main position. After all, they have prepared at least 2000 million pounds for operation Your transfer is definitely not about buying a substitute player."

Van Dyke thought for a moment, but still didn't nod:
"2000 million? I just renewed my contract with Southampton a month ago, and they may not let it go easily."

The agent laughed:
"2000 million is just their initial offer. They just earned 7000 million from Barcelona, ​​and they don't have any money in their pockets! I'm just asking for your opinion. Of course, you don't need to worry about the specific operation."

For his own agency, Van Dijk needs no pretense either:
"If they are really sincere, I have no problem."

Van Dyke who hung up the phone fell into deep thought again.

Liko on the other side became interested:

"I just heard Lee Polo's name? Are you going to be teammates with him?"

Van Dyke raised his eyebrows and asked back:
"Have you heard of him?"

Li Ke looked "rare and more strange":

"Please, the hottest news in European football in 2016 was almost all caused by him. How could I not know about him?"

Van Dyke froze for a moment:
"Is it such an exaggeration?"

Li Ke patted his forehead:

"It's not an exaggeration at all! He was able to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona consecutively in one season, and he became the focus of news every time. Although...it seems that there are more negative voices, but in this era when traffic is king, black and red are also red! "

Van Dyke rubbed his mustache and nodded thoughtfully:

"I heard... this guy is a different kind. All his opponents hate him very much. Maybe it's difficult to get along with?"

Riko blinked:
"Then you're not going to Spain?"

Van Dyke shrugged his shoulders:

"It doesn't count if I said it, let's talk about it later."
-
There are many players who have also received the news, such as Salah under the name of Chelsea.

But unlike Van Dijk, the Egyptian winger, who had just turned 24, asked the agency to reject the transfer intention with almost no consideration.

Since he transferred to Chelsea in January 2014, he has never won a place in the Blue Army. He can only rent out Fiorentina and Roma successively. Last season, he finally conquered the executives and fans of Roma with his personal performance. Agreed to propose a buyout to Chelsea this summer.

Salah wants to settle down in the familiar Serie A, and doesn't want to go to the unfamiliar Spain to start again.

What's more... the staff member from Valencia doesn't seem to have much sincerity.

After all, the Pharaoh in the 2015-16 season was nothing more than a mediocre winger with 45 goals in 15 games. Even if he occasionally performed amazingly in Serie A, he couldn't make others flock to him.
-
On July 2016, 7, the European Cup final.

Ronaldo, who was unable to persist due to injury after only playing for 23 minutes, finally couldn't control his emotions, and covered his face and wept under the watchful eyes of hundreds of millions of TV viewers, just like 12 years ago.

Li Polo, who was sitting in the stands, couldn't help but sighed.

Lisanna held his arm, a little worried:
"Ronaldo can't play, is our pocket money going to die?"

Li Polo looked at the mourning Portuguese team with complicated expressions:

"I do not know."

The history of mourning soldiers must win has not been rewritten after all.

Portugal, which lacked Ronaldo, played more like a whole. Facing the French offensive, Portugal's defense was always unbreakable. It was not until the game was dragged into overtime that it relied on substitute striker Edel. Scored the only goal of the game.

Seeing his teammates beat France, Ronaldo, who was injured on the bench, jumped up immediately.

He conveyed his tactical intentions to his teammates on the field with gestures:

"Stand on your horse and defend this ball for me!"

Then he turned his head and turned to the stands, raised his arms in the direction of Li Poluo and shouted:

"Boy, did you see it? I'm going to win the championship!"

You ask why he knows Lee Polo's direction?
Is that even a question?
Before the start of the finals, in order to repay "Lee Polo's trust", he gave these two tickets!

Li Boluo was also very happy to see the red-faced Ronaldo who looked nothing like a leg injury.

He even sent warm applause to Ronaldo:

"Thank you Mr. Luo, I have settled the down payment for building the stadium now!"
-
When Cristiano Ronaldo led the team to win the European Cup trophy, the news of the players leaving the team came out again in the Valencia team.

Substitute defender Lucas Orban, because he wanted to get more opportunities to play, rejected the club's contract extension, chose a free transfer, and joined Genoa in Italy.

This time, the defense line, which was already understaffed, became even more stretched.

Although in the deal between Gomez and Paco, as a condition, Barcelona loaned two of its own youth training members-Martin Montoya and Munir to the Bat Corps as an addition, but Valencia now needs more The immediate combat power at the age of fighting, not the brat's head.

Seeing that the training day for the new season is coming, and Valencia's roster is getting shorter and shorter day by day, Lee Polo can't help but feel a little impatient.

[If Neville doesn't buy another player, he can only play as a defender! 】

Fortunately, Valencia held back for more than a month this time, and finally made a noise.

On July 7, the Bat Legion officially released the news:

"The club has officially reached an agreement with Southampton, and the 25-year-old Dutch central defender Virgil van Dijk is confirmed to join!"

After seeing this news, Li Poluo directly threw away his cell phone.

[Now I can sleep in peace! 】

[Even if Neville sells out all the midfielders and frontcourts in the future, I don't worry anymore! 】
