Wrapped in a thick down jacket, Li Wei waited in the cold wind at Melwood's door, like many other media reporters.

Temperatures haven't picked up at the end of January, and it's a cloudy day in the UK, with no sunshine for several days in a row, cold, wet and biting winds.

Media reporters like him have to brave all kinds of weather conditions and travel to various cities just to get first-hand news materials in time.

He called Mackin several times in the afternoon, but he didn't get through, and he knew that Mackin didn't want to be interviewed in this regard now.

I don't know what Mackin thinks.

But he was so excited that he had just sent back the news of Mack's hat-trick last night, as well as a reprint of local news.

"Prince Anfield, assist hat-trick", "Liverpool say no to Manchester United", "Mark: A rising superstar", the media is extremely flattering, and they can't wait to put all the praise on Macklin.

Now that every weekend, Liverpool is the home team of most domestic fans, like the NBA's Rockets, and Mackin is worth more than the club's efforts in Asia over the past few decades.

He made his debut in Liverpool, as a Chinese, he can make a name for himself in Liverpool, which has exceeded many people's expectations, but this time, it is a real offer from a top giant.

Million.

What is a star measured against? The most intuitive is of course the transfer price, Zidane is definitely not a superstar before his 56 million transfer to Real Madrid, even if he has won the World Cup.

Competitive value and market value are often two worlds.

At the age of 18, Wayne Rooney moved from Everton to Manchester United for a record young player of £27 million, turning from a young star to a star in one fell swoop.

The world is sometimes so straightforward that fans, media and even advertisers will measure a player's fame and influence by the transfer price.

So Li Wei was shocked by the price of 20 million euros, and in four months, Mackin will only turn 17 years old, and Liverpool will sell Crouch in the winter, and it will be less than 15 million euros.

Barcelona is buying a child at the price of a superstar, who does Barcelona have, that is a world-class giant with Ronaldinho and Puyol, not inferior to Real Madrid.

This transfer offer, like a starting gun, banged, and fired the opening index of the market price of Mackqin.

Real Madrid have long been interested in him, and Arsene Wenger has already come to inquire about the price, but they know that Liverpool will not sell a new star who has just shown his potential in the team, not to mention that he is also from Cocoby.

Only Barcelona, who believe that there is no player in the world that they cannot buy, make a blatant offer.

Many of the giants who pay attention to Mackin are waiting to see how Liverpool reacts, their economy has been in a mess recently, and 20 million is definitely not the final offer, as long as Liverpool makes a counteroffer, the market will be completely lively.

Parry visibly hesitated when he received the offer, it wasn't two million, and it was only the first time he had tried to make an offer, and it was now a week before the transfer period closed.

If they do sit down and negotiate, the cost of the summer acquisition of Torres can be fully recovered!

Good wine and red face, wealth and wealth are moving......

When Benitez received a call from Parry, he said that he would not sell it for 20 million or 30 million, because he could not buy a replacement.

How many of the entire team can reach a transfer price of 20 million euros? There are only a handful, and the players of this level are the leading stars of each team, and it is difficult to buy them back if they are sold.

That evening, media reporters who had been waiting for an afternoon at Melwood finally got the news that Liverpool had rejected Barcelona's offer.

They didn't even enter the door, so they waited for such a news, and hurried back to write a report.

……

Late at night, Jonathan and Peter's left and right protectors gathered at Mackqin's house, "Is that him? Markqin asked in surprise, but Guardiola has not yet taken office.

Aside from everything else, Mackin does not hate Pep Guardiola, an idealist who pursues perfection, and he was able to take charge of several giants in his later years, relying on real kung fu.

This man is extremely detail-oriented, preparing for the game down to the point where every bottle of mineral water has to be checked, and you can not like his style of play with the ball to death, but you have to admire his concentration.

He and Mourinho are two extremes, natural opponents, one pursues the ultimate in possession, and the other is useless in possession.

"Hmm", Jonathan nodded, "I've already inquired about it, this offer is completely from Pep Guardiola's instructions, and it is said that Rijkaard is very dissatisfied with the club"

After such a detour, such a big event, and not hesitating to offend people, if it was really an ordinary player, I am afraid that he would have been grateful for it a long time ago, and he would have been transferred to the training club, or it was okay not to cheat the injury......

"I'd like to hear your thoughts, Mark," Jonathan said.

"What do I think? Didn't the club refuse? What do I care about? ", he said.

"Uh", Jonathan choked on it.

Peter followed up, "Jonathan is trying to ask if you want to play at Barcelona"

"I don't want to", he refused immediately.

Jonathan thought that it was his Liverpool diehard plot again, so he patiently said: "Mark, you are a Liverpool diehard, but that's just a fan identity, looking at so many players in the world, very few can stay in a team for a lifetime, and you will always encounter such problems in the future"

"You're a professional footballer and playing football is your profession first and foremost, so when you think about these issues, you first look at whether it's good for your career development"

Mackin was noncommittal about Jonathan, who was trying to convince him, not necessarily trying to persuade him to move to Barcelona, but did not like Mackin in this way of thinking about the problem.

It's like job hopping, a big company gives you an offer, you can't say how many years you have worked in this small company and have feelings, and you don't think about the future at all.

Jonathan felt compelled to help him draw the line between his role as a fan and his career path.

Mackin understood what he meant, nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, maybe one day I will think about it, but not now, and I will never go to Barcelona in my life"

"Why", Jonathan looked incomprehensible, as if he had no enmity with Barcelona.

"No reason, I don't like the color of their jerseys, and the characters don't match", Makqin is not because he dislikes Barcelona as a fan in later generations because he is against Cosmos or can't get used to seeing any La Masia performance system, or because Barcelona later transferred to the soap opera in the market.

Every club has its own way of running and that's none of his business.

There's no reason why he didn't like Barcelona when he didn't have Ronaldinho, because he liked Real Madrid more when he watched the first Spanish derby, and he liked pure colors.

It's as simple as that, when many fans first start watching the game and like or hate a team, how can there be so many reasons?

"What's the Eight Characters?" Jonathan looked confused.

"It's a means of prediction for their country, like our psychic here," Peter explains.

“……”

"Okay, put this aside", Jonathan finally said, "Then you don't take a stand in front of the media, leave it to me, you have to listen to me about this, don't joke about your career"

Seeing Mackqin's expression, Jonathan had to explain again: "Mark, the top five leagues in Europe, it seems that there are many teams, but when you play to a certain extent, the teams that can accommodate you are the few giants in each league."

He said: "What you just said, don't leak it to the media, they are the best at fanning the flames, your career is still very long, if you offend this wealthy family today, you may offend another one tomorrow, two or three times, your reputation in the wealthy circle will be poor, understand?" ”

Seeing Mackqin's approval, he continued: "In the European football circle, it is very big, and it is very small, and the pyramid is so big in the palm of the hand, and countless people are squeezing their heads to go up, Mark, you have this potential, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds, because you are still only potential, and you don't have that capital."

Looking at Jonathan, who was incarnated as a peerless father, Ma Qin felt a burst of amusement in his heart, he could say this, at least it showed that he was not wrong with him.

"Don't worry, I know what you mean", he stood up and said, "I won't express an opinion, you can just deal with it"

……

The next day, Jonathan spoke to the media camera, "I always knew that Mark had this potential, his talent was unmatched, and I couldn't see the limit to his future, only he could touch it."

"Yes, he wants to concentrate on football, he is not yet 17 years old, he has only been in the league for more than half a year, he has a coach and team-mates who trust him at Liverpool, he has not thought about leaving now"

"Barcelona is a great club and every player probably dreams of wearing a Barcelona shirt, which is an honour for Marc and a great incentive"

'But Mark belonged to Liverpool, he belonged to Liverpool until that changed, he loved the city and the team dearly, he made his debut at Cocoby, he was Liverpool themselves'

Mark Qin participated in training with the team as usual, and as usual, his teammates did not ask about it, but looked at him a little differently, a young man who was more expensive than himself.

Personal relationships don't involve business, that's the unspoken rule of the locker room.

At noon, Barcelona raised the offer to 25 million euros, which made this wave even hotter, and many media were like chicken blood, Barcelona is going to come to the real thing.

Benitez closes the door and puts an end to all interviews!

"According to our reporter, Liverpool FC has just rejected Barcelona's second offer of 25 million euros for young star Mark this evening, and stated that he is not for sale"

Ai Ming turned to look at Peter and said, "Peter, my brother is so valuable?" Twenty-five million, how much does this have to be~"

"Hey, your brother will be worth more in the future," Peter said, chewing on a mouthful of broccoli.

"Smack", Chen Zixuan patted the dining table, "I said that you two, one is more indecent than the other"

"I'm going to be the sister of a rich man, hahaha~~~"

……

Liverpool's second refusal silenced Barcelona for two days, and just when everyone thought that this price-pumping soap opera was about to end, three days later, Barcelona offered another price, 30 million!

"Boom ......", the media directly fried the pot.

Sixteen-year-old Mr. 30 million, freshly baked!

If you sit down and negotiate, what will be the final transaction price? Million? , I don't dare to think about it. It's as unbelievable as Alex Ferguson's millions of pounds to buy a twelve-year-old Adu.

He's doing well, but is he's really worth that much money? , which has already caught up with the price of Torres, who is he? Liverpool's leading scorer, the goal list is on par with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Is it expensive? A few years later, the price couldn't buy him a thigh......

Mackin felt that he had to end this farce as soon as possible, and now every day at the door of his training house and at the door of the club, there are a bunch of people blocking him and asking the same questions, as if the slogans floating on his house can't control this restlessness......

He is now a little nostalgic for the later era of self-media, if in the future, he will take a picture at the door of his house and say a word, everything will be fine, and now he is full of inconvenience.

The day after tomorrow is the league, don't let Benitez have an opinion about himself, then it's troublesome, he hurriedly called Jonathan.

"Don't worry", Jonathan said there, "I reiterated to the club that you don't have the idea of leaving, they know how to do it"
