As a striker, how much is Eto'o worth?

This issue has been plaguing the media for some time, especially in the Catalonia region, because they all feel that Eto'o should be one of the top scorers in football in any aspect , Why is the price so low? Why is there no club willing to offer him a higher price tag?

In fact, the operation of the transfer market is also inseparable from the relationship between supply and demand, this layer of relations determines the transfer price of players.

In the case of Eto'o, what type of player is the most sought-after player in the European football transfer market this summer?

The type of good quality and cheap!

As the financial crisis hits, the world's economy is generally sluggish. Except for clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​how many people really buy big-name stars with big prices?

Count all five fingers!

And transactions above 15 million euros, except for Tottenham and Manchester United, are basically in the midfield and backcourt. That is to say, all teams now have less urgent needs for attacking players in the midfield and frontcourt. On the contrary, what they really need It's the backcourt.

Maybe someone said it again. Look at Eto’o ’s data, the data of Europe ’s top striker, how many times stronger than Torres ’back then? But now Eto'o is worth so much less than Torres, is it not cost-effective enough?

Indeed, purely from the perspective of the transfer fee, Eto'o is very valuable. The introduction of a player is not to say that I pay the transfer fee. You have to give Etoo a salary. In this regard, Eto's The annual salary asking price is two times that of Torres.

Well, if you add Eto’o ’s annual salary to his transfer fee, plus the tax rate, you will find that it is not really cost-effective to introduce Eto’o because his salary is too high.

Even to a certain extent, if Barcelona do not want Eto'o to rot in their hands, they do not want Eto'o to sit on Barcelona's bench, and they can still hold a high salary without playing, then they will not even rule out Let him transfer freely, because since both parties have failed, it is no longer possible to renew the contract, so two years later Eto'o will also transfer freely. It is better to let him leave now and save two years. salary.

This is the value and strength of the game in the transfer market. It is useless in this field, because in the environment where European football has become the core circle of football in the world, there is no shortage of major teams The selected strength players are all they want.

Therefore, what Yang Cheng often said is that the level of transfer fees does not depend on your strength and value but how much they need you. The relationship between supply and demand is an important factor in determining the level of transfer fees.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, Eto'o ’s ability to make a move for Barcelona is already a great thing to pray to God. The transfer fee can be discussed again, not to mention, the price given by Manchester City is not too much. Low, 18 million euros!

"It is estimated that Mourinho is going crazy!" When Yang Cheng heard the news, he laughed sarcastically.

He certainly knows that Chelsea also needs Eto'o because Cheetah can not only play the striker, but his technical characteristics determine that he can also go to the side. Mourinho appreciates this type of player but is now just ahead of Manchester City. Too.

"I heard that Kenyon came to Barcelona in person, but it didn't seem to have negotiated with Bergeristan, and then Manchester City suddenly shot, and the offer was directly made for Eto'o's transfer with a clean offer!" Tizhi ​​Hank Said with a smile.

"It should be that the Abu Dhabi consortium behind them has the strength. The UAE people are too rich. Barcelona can't withstand it at all!" Yang Cheng said sarcastically.

Barcelona has previously passed a resolution to sell the chest advertising on the new season jersey to a gaming company in Austria, and because of this, the United Nations Children ’s Organization has decided to terminate cooperation with Barcelona ’s jersey advertising, which also proves that Barcelona ’s current financial There is a big problem.

Yang Cheng even thought, if, as Russell said, Barcelona is really heavily in debt, then La Porta continues to take on such a large investment, will it make Barcelona bankrupt? Will they sell off their team stars then?

This is a very likely thing, because no matter how Barcelona has a membership system, when you are heavily in debt, and unlike the rich second generation like Real Madrid, there are properties left by the Bernabeu era that can be sold, then only stars can be sold. .

Then Real Madrid shot, bought Messi, Xavi, Iniesta ... to be a cold bench, it would be too against the sky!

"What is your kid's grinning smile?" Benitez saw Yang Cheng smiling slightly secretly, and had an ominous premonition.

"Nothing, I was thinking about the reaction of Barcelona fans!" Yang Cheng quickly disguised.

Redondo watched the news on the Internet and shook his head. "Nothing happened. Now Ibrahimović is here. All Barcelona fans look forward to him and think he can lead the Barcelona revival. Who Would you still care about the frustrated Eto'o? One by one, he could not wait for him to leave quickly, so as not to waste his salary. "

After listening, Yang Cheng couldn't help but smile, but there was a little sympathy in his smile.

Not only for Eto'o, but also for Barcelona fans.

How pitiful!

A striker who has played for Barcelona for 4 years and scored so many goals, but ended up with such an end. If only Eto'o is the one, then it will be fine, but from Rivaldo to Ronaldinho When it comes to Eto'o, is it not worth reflecting?

When they find out in the future, the bride Ibrahimovic was originally a scientific product that went to Korea for plastic surgery. When they touch their noses, they will fall off, and if they touch the touch of the saline bag, will they miss the one who was driven by themselves? What about the yellow-faced mother-in-law?

"By the way, what are the goals of Manchester City now?" Yang Cheng thought about it and asked with concern.

The Abu Dhabi consortium has just entered Manchester City. The first gift is to bring Eto'o to Manchester City, but Yang Cheng believes that the Abu Dhabi consortium's ambition is definitely not only that, they must also have greater actions.

"Ronaldinho, who was previously included in the recruitment plan by Manchester City, has transferred to AC Milan, and Berbatov has also switched to Manchester United. We still don't know who else there is." Redondo laughed. Say.

The richness of Manchester City is indeed something that makes the wealthy people self-defeating. After all, they suddenly killed such a big rich man, who has more financial resources than Abu, and who does not follow the rules at all. People have a headache.

Just when Yang Cheng thought about this, Florentino called him.

Ten minutes later, Yang Cheng appeared in the office of Chairman Bernabeu and found that not only him, but also Piri, Butragueno, and even the father and son of Kaka were there, which surprised him a bit, but suddenly Also vaguely guessed what.

Manchester City really pointed their digging spear at the most powerful Real Madrid now!

Judging from the current situation in football, the team with the most stars is Real Madrid. Almost every position has a leading star, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Villa, Aguero, David. Va, Harvey Alonso, Mascherano and so on, these are the top players in this position.

If Manchester City wants to dig corners and create momentum, the best way is of course to dig out the most powerful players.

Because of the competitive relationship of the same Premier League, Manchester City wants to dig players from teams like Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool that are not short of money. It is not difficult, but for Real Madrid, which has always advertised commercialization, as long as it can afford , The difficulty is much smaller, of course, this is just the views of the outside world.

"Manchester City just sent us a fax and hope that we will reply before this evening. They are willing to pay a transfer fee of 150 million euros for the card." Florentino sat in front of his desk and looked at it. Looking at the faxed text on the desk, people could not see what he was thinking.

Kaka's father Boss Ghost. ． ． Lette also took the words, "Yes, they did contact me through an intermediary, and also proposed a five-year contract with an annual salary of 20 million euros, and a signing fee of 35 million euros."

When talking about these numbers, Boss Ghost. ． ． Lett obviously trembles, because such a horrible amount of money is almost worth the years that Kaka is in Real Madrid. This is almost a temptation that cannot be rejected in any way.

Everyone knows that a professional player ’s career is only a few years, which professional player is not desperate to play for a few years, earn a sum of money, and then wait for retirement, it can be said that all professional players will take one when they retire Injuries and injuries are inevitable, so they also know better than anyone, the importance of having money for old age.

This is a very real world, and money is a temptation that no one can refuse.

Yang Cheng looked at Florentino and then the dull Piri and Butragueno. He knew very clearly what 150 million euros represented for any club. This is A transfer that cannot be refused because the transfer fee is so amazing that it can even be said that those who refused were stupid.

Looking at Kaka who didn't speak, the Brazilian was obviously shocked by the sudden temptation.

In no time, no one can respond to this kind of thing.

From the standpoint of Yang Cheng, Kaka is indeed very important. The Brazilian has shown the highest level of strength in the past season. Yang Cheng even believes that Kaka will be better this season than last season. , Because his body has completely recovered and is at its peak. At the age of 26, this is the golden age of a player, entering a comprehensive maturity and stability!

Due to the outstanding performance of Kaka after switching to Real Madrid, Manchester City wanted to introduce Kaka with such a high transfer fee, which is not surprising, because today Manchester City has no way to impress Kaka except money.

It's very strange. Originally Florentino's office was full of bamboo people, but suddenly there was no sound, the atmosphere was very weird, and it was very elusive, as if everyone was waiting for something.

It's affirmative, but they are also very clear about what it means once they agree to this transfer.

Everyone started to look around, but gradually, unconsciously, they all looked at Yang Cheng, and even Florentino looked up and looked at his head coach. Say, promise or refuse, write a letter!

Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He felt that everyone had thrown into his hands the difficulty that he couldn't, or was unwilling to make a decision. He sighed and stood up.

"If it were me, I would choose to refuse!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, "Whether it is a club or a player, I will not agree. This has nothing to do with football, and it has nothing to do with money, profits, etc. It is just me. Personal thoughts. "

"Selling kaka can indeed bring about 150 million euros in transfer income. We are not without a way to fill the gap left by kaka, but the problem is that we sold our head star and sold our core players. , Which will make everyone think of Real Madrid? "

After a pause, Yang Cheng seemed to be imagining, "I guess, by that time, when all the fans in the world mentioned Real Madrid, the first impression was that they were no longer the top-tier giants, the noblest team. It is a giant who can take away any player as long as you have money, just like Manchester United, AC Milan, Arsenal and other teams, do n’t believe it? Kaka is an example! "

"As a player, I can understand that when faced with this temptation, it is difficult for anyone to make a decision, because this temptation is too big, too amazing, and even I ca n’t bear it. You know, many People can't earn a fraction in a few lifetimes. After playing for a few years, anyone can have a life without worrying about what a wonderful thing to do! "

"I am asking myself to change to me, and I can't say like this now, firmly saying no but I will definitely ask myself, am I playing football just for money?"

"Professional players play football for the sake of money, but you are no longer an ordinary professional player!" Yang Cheng's hand was heavily slapped on Kaka's shoulder, "As the best and best player in football today, you hold The highest level of salary, playing for the best team, with the most outstanding teammates, you have asked yourself not, Ricardo, why are you playing football? "

Taking a deep breath, Yang Cheng smiled again, "Of course, no matter what decision you make, no matter how you choose, I will respect it!" After speaking, Yang Cheng smiled and turned around and walked out of the country. Lorentino's office.

As an outsider, no one can imagine that at this moment, Florentino and Kaka were stuck together and hesitated.

Needless to say, Florentino, the sky-high price of 150 million euros is enough for any club to issue a pass to any player; for Kaka, whether he chooses to stay or choose to leave, it is understandable .

Anyone asks himself, when there is a company that offers you a near-incredible digging proposal, one that you only need to work for five years in the past to be lame and enjoy a lifetime salary at home, would you be tempted? ?

Leaving aside those misaligned words, will anyone be tempted?

From this perspective, Yang Cheng has absolutely no reason to stop Kaka, because you ca n’t give him everything that Manchester City has proposed, or even half of it. In this case, who can justify the card The card stays?

This is no longer a transfer. From Florentino inviting Kaka and his son to negotiate together, it can be seen that this is no longer a transfer because the price offered by the other party has exceeded the scope of the transfer. , But related to Kaka's life!

Yang Cheng walked on the training ground of Valdebebas. He slowly walked to the middle of the comprehensive training ground. The place where he always stood, looking around, he saw countless times of daily life in his mind. In the training scene, he was thinking, what exactly do those players desperately need to do, training and playing with blood and sweat?

Is it really just for money?

Of course, he does not rule out this possibility, because today's sports are no longer pure. The involvement of money, politics and other aspects has already made sports lose its original purity, and it has become complicated, utilitarian, and intriguing.

Originally European football was quite calm, although the signings of Real Madrid and Barcelona are in a certain way the same as what Manchester City are doing now, but in the end, Real Madrid and Barcelona are still in the category of football, which is normal for fans to accept The scope, the emergence of Manchester City, completely broke this situation.

This can't blame Manchester City, because Manchester City is doing right.

As a latecomer, if he wants to compete with successful teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Liverpool, he must recruit to strengthen his strength, and their only bargaining chip is to throw money, which is correct.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the behind-the-scenes who created all this, professionalism!

Yang Cheng is the beneficiary of professionalization, but this does not mean that he is not qualified to blame the changes brought about by professionalization.

And he also understands that if you want to continue in the professional football world, you have to follow the rules of professionalism!

"Will you go?" Benitez and others walked quietly into the training ground.

Afternoon training class is about to start, but I heard that Kaka has not come yet.

Will he go directly to Manchester to report?

This is everyone's question!

"I don't know!" Yang Cheng replied with a bitter smile, "If it is me, I will really be tempted, so if he stays, then I will respect him, if he leaves, I will give respect, with a smile Say goodbye to him. "

This should be Yang Cheng's first willingness to give the initiative to his players when facing corners.

The outside world has been crazy, and with the high development of information technology, the fans soon received the news, all gathered outside Valdebebas, chanting Kaka's name.

Especially as the training time approached, they saw one player after another walked out of the locker room, one after another into the training ground, but only did not see the Kaka in the transfer rumor, which made them somewhat Anxious, because if Kaka does not appear, it means that he will switch to Manchester City.

To this, Tao fans also respected, but would feel sorry.

The players warmed up on the training ground. Under the guidance of the coaches, they wished to enliven every joint on the whole body, because they knew that waiting for them was the high-intensity training of the head coach.

But, in their minds, there is also a question circling, does Kaka really want to go? Can you go? (To be continued)
