Chapter 211: Completed

The final result of the encounter with Cooper was quite satisfied with Tiger.

In the next few days, in addition to training, Tiger was looking up information about Valencia's team and Cooper as coach. Cooper came to Mallorca, who was also a newly promoted player two years ago. In a year, he led Mallorca to finish fifth in La Liga and the Spanish Cup. The following year, he led Mallorca to third in La Liga and into the Champions League - a very impressive result.

Valencia's background is much deeper than Mallorca. They had the honor of four La Liga titles before. Last season, they were the fourth place in La Liga and the Cup of Kings. They are also qualified to participate in the Champions League. In the 1990s, Valencia has always been short of stars and excellent head coaches. Hiddink, Aragonese, Valdano and Ranieri are their first four head coaches, and Mijatovic and Romario also played for this team. Now they have Spanish internationals Mündeta, Canisarez, Argentina internationals Lopez and Yugoslav internationals Jukic, Anguema, Caboni, Gerard and Farinos are all typical strong players. Although there are not many stars, the overall strength of the team is very strong.

Originally, Tiger thought that Cooper and Valencia were both coaches and teams who liked defense, which made him a little doubtful. However, Cooper’s conversation with him dispelled his doubts - what is the point of Valencia’s habit of counterattacking? He is a frontcourt player and does not need to participate in defense, but in offense, he can dominate most of the offense... Isn’t this what Tiger asked for? As the core of the frontcourt offense, one person will dominate the entire attack of a team. In the frontcourt, he is not a musician, but a conductor, directing the rhythm of the entire band!

What's more, Cooper did not allow him to play midfield or striker, leaving such a place between the midfield and the striker for him to dominate - although Tiger firmly believed that he would definitely get such a position in the future, Cooper now gave him such a position!

The team that can play in the Champions League is not bad, and the coach promises the core position of the frontcourt - perhaps there is no club that is more suitable for Tiger than Valencia...

The only regret is that Tiger may not get much help in the offense, but will not this show Tiger's ability better? In this era, it is still a game where superstars can determine their results to a large extent.

Effenberg made Bayern reach the long-lost Champions League final. There are two teams with Ronaldo and without Ronaldo. With Zidane as the core, France won the World Cup championship... This is the status that Tiger pursues!

Tiger thinks Valencia is very suitable for him, and Ross considers a little more than Tiger - does Valencia have the financial resources to sign Tiger? He will not let Tiger put pressure on the original club for the sake of transfer. Although this approach sometimes works very well, it has a great impact on a player's reputation.

However, Ross filtered this a little.

Like most La Liga teams, Valencia is a joint-stock club. The club chairman has a board of directors responsible for investing and obtaining profits. Garcia is the chairman elected two seasons ago. Valencia's financial resources are not weak, especially if he enters the Champions League this season and will receive a large number of broadcast fees.

La Liga clubs were once members-based clubs, but this approach put a heavy economic burden on many La Liga clubs. So more than ten years ago, La Liga reorganized. All teams with debt were funded by banks to pay off their debts, and the club repayed the bank's debts every year. Now La Liga still retains only four teams with membership, namely Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bilbao and Osasuna. Other teams have become joint-stock clubs, and Valencia is no exception.

Stimulated by entering the Champions League for the first time in more than 20 years, Valencia's directors were generous this season. Cooper's transfer budget was $50 million, and introducing Kili and Pellegrino only cost their transfer fee of $10 million, which was more than enough to buy Tiger.

After finding a sincere partner, the next thing will be easier to handle - Ross' ability is unquestionable. Although he seemed a little helpless in the front, this time the situation also has its own special features. First, Ross' human relationship is more in England. When the Premier League team cannot go and the Premier League mid-range team Tiger is unwilling to go, Ross' relationship in England is almost ineffective. Second, Tiger has been strongly rising in one season, and Premier League teams basically have

Knowing his excellence, however, outside the Premier League, other league giants will look at Tiger with a more cautious look - because they are not sure whether Tiger's outstanding performance this season is a burst of character or indeed has outstanding strength. Buy a player with only one top league season experience for $30 million. No matter how rich a giant is, he may not be able to make up this decision. If Tiger played for Manchester United for one more year, the situation might be very different.

Now Valencia has decided to introduce Tiger with most of the entire summer budget. This is Tiger's luck, and Valencia's luck.

The expansion of the Champions League and the dramatic increase in broadcasting fees next season have given European clubs the capital and courage to spend money. Starting from this season, the trend of spending money in European football has become popular, and the player transfer value record will be refreshed almost every year. Two years ago, Ronaldo's 29 million transfer fee was already the world's first sky-high price. However, starting from this season, almost every season will have four or five heavyweight transfer fees that can reach this number.

The European football world at the turn of the century was an era of crazy money-burning. Anelka, a striker who had only performed well in the Premier League for only one season and had not won any championship, could sell for 23 million pounds. If the current European football giants trust French players more and generally distrust British players, Tiger would not have had any place to go. In fact, Inter Milan and Barcelona were once very close to Tiger, but they gave up introducing Tiger for various reasons.

***************************************************

"Tiger, your performance this season is so fucking excellent...You have made too fast progress in the past two years. When you were fighting against you, you were really worse than you are now. I'm curious about how you made progress so fast... But it's normal. If you get to know the truth, you will make progress very quickly."

Winnie Jones took a big sip of wine and praised Tiger.

Tiger laughed, Jones' praise was very helpful to him, while the other person sitting next to him coughed: "Tigger, we are here to find you this time... we are also here to attract investment."

Tiger looked at Gai Richie in front of him in shock. This former film projectionist is now a popular director in the UK. Tiger originally thought he would not have any interaction with him anymore, but a year later, Gai Richie came to the door.

"Stop kidding, Guy, do you still need to come to me for investment now?" Tiger said strangely: "I think it should be an easy thing for you to invest now."

"It's true." Ritchie also poured a glass of beer. No wonder he and Jones had similar smells. Both are typical British people and drunks: "It's just that the last movie did not have your timely investment. I don't know if it can be shot... I'm not a stingy person. This time I plan to shoot another movie, which is similar to "Two Big Bullets", but the investment will be more, and the cost is always expected to be around 10 million pounds. Are you interested? Not to mention anything else, I can make a decision to let you invest in one third of the investment."

Of course, Tiger knew that Rich's words were equivalent to giving him money for free. Now Rich is the hottest time. To put it inappropriately, even if he made a bunch of poop, the box office in the UK would not be much lower, not to mention that it was a movie with a style similar to "Two Big Bulleys". This kind of movie similar to sequels is basically no need to think about it, and it will definitely be popular.

"Guy, there's no need to come to me specifically," Tiger said to Ritchie.

"Since someone will always make this money, it's better to let you make it." Ritchie said it very directly, this time he was just trying to repay his kindness: "If you want, you can sign a contract now."

Jones was drinking beside him and looked at them with a smile.

"Okay." Tiger agreed happily. Since the other party said this, Tiger was not willing to be too pretentious: "Don't rush to sign, let my agent do this. Let's drink today and have a good time."

Tiger planned to let Ross participate. The last time he invested in "Two Smoke Bowls" was purely his personal behavior. Ross didn't make a penny of his income, which made Tiger feel a little disgusted. Now letting him take care of this matter is legitimate to let him get a piece of the pie in the middle - Tiger will not be too stingy to the people around him.

Jones suddenly said: "Tiger, your decision is very wise... Do you know that this movie, in addition to the original cast of "Two Big Bullets", Brad Pitt will also join this movie. With his appeal, it will be popular not only in the UK but also in Hollywood!"

"Brad Pitt?" Tiger was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "He joined your movie... Is 10 million budget enough?"

Tiger's words make sense. You should know that Pitt is now one of the top Hollywood superstars and a member of the 20 million club. If he joins, the budget of this ten million pounds alone is probably not enough...

"Hey, Tiger, have you forgotten that Pete said at the time that he would rather star in Guy's movie with zero compensation? Of course it wouldn't be zero compensation, but it was also greatly reduced... Otherwise, Guy couldn't afford him. Now, these budgets are enough." Jones laughed: "Why, do you want to introduce you to Peter?"

"Forget it, he is so handsome. I'm afraid I will feel inferior." Tiger joked.

Ritchie and Jones laughed at the same time. They were not handsome guys. Even the actors in the entire "Two Big Bulleys" crew were not handsome at that time. Compared with them, Tiger was really a handsome guy.

***************************************************

"Guy hopes you continue to invest? Or is it a third of the amount? Well, I understand, I will do this soon... That's right, Tiger, you're right. This investment is basically a stable profit, and you should definitely invest."

Listening to the sound coming from the other end of the phone, Ross said affirmatively: "I will go back to Preston tomorrow and decide on this matter... Busy? Not busy! Only summer will be busy, I am so idle... Haha, no matter how I say I rely on you to get my salary."

Tiger smiled and spat. Ross was really pretending to be so. This guy has a hereditary title and his real estate has at least hundreds of millions of assets. Being a broker is just his hobby. Now it’s just a joke that he relies on Tiger to get a salary.

Rose, who was far away in Spain, smiled slightly, hung up the phone, and walked into the room from the corridor.

"Do you think the annual salary of 2 million pounds is very high? You know, what Tiger holds at Manchester United is a fixed salary of 1 million pounds plus a considerable amount of championship prizes. After this season, the salaries of almost all top players will increase significantly. You should know that just a while ago, Finnish player Litmanin transferred to Barcelona. What is his salary? A $5 million annual salary! Of course, he is a free transfer, I don't deny this, but a player who has begun to decline can get such a salary. Tiger is only 24 years old this year and has at least five or six years of peak period. If he can't get this salary, it is basically an insult to him."

Ross and Valencia's chairman Garcia has been discussing for a full week. The time for the transfer market to officially open has not yet come, so both sides are not in a hurry. Manchester United has accepted Valencia's offer of 20 million pounds, while Ross is now discussing Tiger's treatment issue with Valencia.

Valencia is willing to provide 1.5 million pounds, which is already the first-class salary in Valencia. Only the main striker Lopez and captain Mendeita have met this requirement, but Ross refused. He asked for a higher salary. The reason is simple. He has judged that after this season, the income of top European players will rise like a leap, and the main players of Champions League teams generally reach the level of 30,000 pounds a weekly salary.

Sometimes salary does not only represent income, but also represents a player's status in the club. As Tiger's agent, Ross of course has to fight for Tiger's greater interests.

Tiger is not a young player now. He is not a big player at the age of 24, but he is not a small one. According to the peak period of most players in this era, after he is thirty, his condition will decline greatly, and his peak period will only be six or seven years. If he does not earn enough income during this period, Tiger may be very down in the future.

Garcia looked helplessly at the suit and ties in front of her, looking like a typical British traditional gentleman, but with an eloquence and persistence agent who is not inferior to the smartest businessman. To be honest, Ross's request was not too much. With Valencia's current financial resources and status, it is not difficult to meet the annual salary requirements. However, Garcia has other concerns - Valencia is not his own after all, and all expenses need to be approved by the board of directors. A weekly salary of 2 million pounds has broken Valencia's salary expenditure balance. He has received so much, and the salaries of other main players must be increased accordingly. At that time, it was not a small amount.

As if seeing Garcia's concerns, Ross smiled slightly.

"Mr. Garcia, now European football is at a critical moment of rapid change. The merger of the Winners Cup and the League Cup has increased by nearly twice, and the broadcast fee share has also increased by nearly twice compared to before... In the future, the income from participating in European competitions will probably become a large source of funds for strong teams. In this case, what position can be obtained in Europe is likely to determine the future status of this team... All teams are expanding, all

The income of players is increasing. If they don’t increase today, they will also increase tomorrow. Teams that increase first will be more attractive to players. It is true that Valencia’s previous salary structure was very reasonable, but if players see that the players of other teams have higher incomes than them after they have achieved good results, would they think so? No one would want to see this. The better players are, the more they are. The salary structure of the past can no longer be used in the present, otherwise they will only be abandoned by others."

Ross talked: "Tiger gets more salary than others, and others may not be convinced, but don't forget that Tiger is a three-time champion player, the top scorer of the Premier League last season, the second scorer of the Champions League... His achievements are not available to other Valencia players. Do you think there will be too many people who are not convinced? Those who are qualified to be dissatisfied with him may be important players in the team. What can it be worth to increase some salary for these important players?"

Garcia pondered for a long time, then finally nodded.

He found Cooper, and Tiger was the player Cooper called for. Just to support Cooper, he had to meet Tiger's requirements, not to mention that this requirement was not an exaggeration.

"A four-year contract, an annual salary of £2 million. If you receive honors, there will be an additional bonus. At the same time, your portrait rights club will have a part of the endorsement income that is not related to the club is all yours. You and the club each account for half of the advertising endorsements. What do you think?"

Ross said happily on the phone.

"What else can I do?" Tiger laughed. He was really not dissatisfied with it. When Ross recommended himself to be his agent, he said, "You will not be disturbed by other than playing football." In this regard, Ross really didn't lie.

It won't take long for Tiger to head to that sunny country to embark on his new journey.
