I AM the Football Star
Chapter 800 - 195: Just Call Me Xiaota
"What is Team Spirit! Lu Yang and Morici state they will not leave the team this summer!"
"Tearful! San Remo players collectively refuse all transfers this summer!"
"The miracle continues! San Remo’s squad is complete, aiming for the next championship!"
"Tempted by the giants? Sorry, this is San Remo!"
"Why the allure of big clubs has failed? This is the power of leadership!"
"San Remo begins renewing contracts with players, with salaries generally seeing a significant increase!"
"Two and a Half Million! Morici’s annual salary quickly rises, possibly even higher next year!"
"Three Million Six Hundred Thousand? Lu Yang’s annual salary remains unchanged? The only player with no salary increase after renewal!"
"Lu Yang: I don’t need a raise, distribute my share to my teammates!"
A series of moves left the onlookers dazzled.
Morici looked at Lu Yang beside him, unable to help but marvel at how wealthy and indulgent he was.
Although Morici also knew that if he refused the salary increase from the team, it would make him even more legendary!
But he couldn’t refuse it.
After all, Momo was poor.
But Lu Yang dared to refuse.
This immediately set him apart from Morici.
In future assessments, Lu Yang would be a class of his own, while Morici would be grouped with "other players."
Damn it!
This guy is too greedy for credit.
"So is the internal crisis solved now?" Morici asked.
"Almost. But solving it is not enough; if you can’t hit back hard, even if the problem is solved this year, it will erupt again next year." Lu Yang shook his head.
Morici was stunned: "Next year? You don’t plan to stay at San Remo next year too, do you?"
The brothers can put in a year for you.
But they can’t be expected to put in several years.
One must have self-awareness, otherwise, friendship may turn into enmity; why bother?
Can’t you just take the win and leave?
Moreover, staying at San Remo has limited potential.
Serie A has already shown signs of major clubs banding together, and future competition will only be focused on two or three clubs.
And San Remo will definitely not be among those clubs.
That’s reality.
Lu Yang was speechless, handed Morici a walnut, telling him to boost his brainpower: "Even if a transfer is necessary next year, do you think it’s better for something to be sold expensively in a discount store, or expensively in a luxury store?"
Without a doubt, even if it’s the same item, the latter will always be more expensive.
Evergrande Ice Spring, heard of it?
To be sold at a high price next year, San Remo first cannot devalue.
At least it shouldn’t give others the feeling that "I can easily poach your people."
That wouldn’t be worth anything.
Everyone only saw Ximen Qing being unable to resist Pan Jinlian’s beauty, but didn’t see the previous encounters where Pan Jinlian always played hard to get, making Ximen Qing infatuated with her.
So San Remo’s players can’t be easily poached.
San Remo needs to have class!
Similarly, only players who are poached at high prices will be treasured by their new clubs.
The internal status, treatment, and such need not be mentioned.
The most crucial thing—adaptation period will be much longer for you than others.
If you’re a player bought for a mere three to five million and fail to seize the opportunity in one or two matches?
Report to the reserve team!
But if you’re a player bought for seventy million and go ten matches without a goal or assist, the club still has to find a place for you in the starting lineup.
Even the harshest fans will find reasons for you, claiming that your skill is there, just that various reasons have prevented you from showing it yet...
After all, no one spends seventy million without expecting results, right?
If you are truly worthless and have no impact, won’t fans of other clubs laugh for three to five years?
Furthermore, a high transfer fee also brings high exposure and... recognition in professional circles.
To put it simply, it’s more advantageous when it comes to winning awards.
Between two players with the same stats, the one with a much higher market value will always be praised more.
After all, they spent more money.
While frugality is certainly commendable, what people truly admire is the grand spending.
Because frugality is achievable by many, but extravagant spending... most people have never experienced such grandeur.
"Wow, you’re really sneaky, planning to scam your new club." Morici sighed at the decline of morals.
"Heh, only injury-prone players scam clubs; I offer quality worth the price!" Lu Yang ridiculed Morici’s physique.
"You don’t understand a thing! I eat steak every day!" Morici quickly added energy, trying to improve his physical condition through diet, "Seriously, who do you plan to use to make a statement for San Remo?"
This time, many clubs made offers, and Morici speculated Lu Yang might use a mid-tier team to make a statement.
After all, small teams aren’t weighty enough.
But big teams... what makes San Remo think they qualify?
Do you really think you’re something special?
"Juventus!"
Poof!
After Lu Yang spoke, Morici almost choked on his beef.
Juventus?
Is your sight impaired, or is your brain malfunctioning?
Tell me, what color is the sky of Serie A?
Black and white!
Juventus is the most dominant team in Serie A, without question!
In strength, connections, and popularity, they’ve undisputedly surpassed the two major clubs in Milan City, standing above all!
"No need to be so surprised. Aren’t we set to compete with Juventus next season?" Lu Yang smiled slightly, "Besides, didn’t we play against Juventus in last season’s Italian Super Cup?"
"The European Cup qualifiers, didn’t you help me steal the free kick from Juventus’ poster boy?"
"We’ve long had grudges with Juventus, now is the perfect time to start settling them."
