"Hey, I said guys, don't embarrass our Stanti like this, okay, let's talk about something meaningful at this meeting, such as our opponent who opened a sky-high transfer in this summer window?" Banega tapped the spoon and caught everyone's attention.

But now everyone's thoughts are all on this delicious Chinese restaurant, which seems to be destined to do prosperous business, where can they still think about other things? Everyone was noncommittally silent about Banega's proposal, which also made the former's face ugly, in his opinion, this group of Villarreal players is really shameless, isn't this a clear plan to forcibly buy shares, otherwise Sainty will not be able to come to the stage?

A good party was brought to this point by his own unintentional words, Banega felt guilty, but at the moment he had no better way, the people who had just joined the team were soft-spoken, and he could only look apologetically at his friend before he even established the main position.

At this time, after signaling Banega not to worry, Shengti looked at everyone's eyes and fell into thinking, different from Banega's thoughts, Shengti actually knows very well what his teammates are thinking at this moment, and because of this, Shengti does not have any negative emotions of complaint or disgust, but really thinks about everyone's future.

Yesterday afternoon's breaking news report is still vivid, and now Shengti knows that his teammates are in danger, and when they see the Chinese restaurant they have taken out, they will naturally have the idea of buying shares, which should be blamed for their lack of consideration!

Just yesterday, there was sad news in world football: retired Aston Villa star Darian Atkinson was shot with a taser by the police and rushed to hospital before passing away.

The name may be unfamiliar, but it is not the case for the likes of San-Tiago, who played 85 league appearances and scored 23 goals for Aston Villa between 1991 and 1995. He scored the opening goal in the 1994 Carabao Cup final and helped Aston Villa win the title over Manchester United. He was also the Premier League Goalscorer of the Season winner and played a solo game against Wimbledon.

However, it is such a player with a glorious history who ended his life in such an embarrassing way, how can this not put everyone who is also a professional player at risk?

It turned out that Atkinson, who was 48 years old at the time, came to his father's house at one o'clock in the middle of the night drunk and kicked the door wildly, shouting that he was homeless, but his father refused to open the door. After warning him several times, the police eventually shocked him with a taser and Atkinson, who was hit, suffered a cardiac arrest in the ambulance and was soon pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.

At the age of 48, he was homeless and died young. In our opinion, it's unbelievable that these words are concentrated on a former Premier League star. However, this kind of thing happens every day in all levels of world football.

According to a survey by the British sports charity "Retired Players Association", 333% of professional footballers will divorce their wives in the first year of retirement, and more than 40% of players will declare bankruptcy within five years of retirement. Even this figure is not shocking, as more than 60% of NBA players go bankrupt within five years of retirement, and the NFL has a whopping 78% bankruptcy.

Sounds outrageous, right? Take the thriving English league as an example, now a League One player can earn 50,000 pounds a year, a Championship player can earn 500,000 pounds a year, and a Premier League player can earn an average of 2 million pounds a year just from his salary. Then, they actually spent all the more than 20 million pounds they had earned in their careers for more than ten years, or nearly 200 million yuan, within five years......

However, this huge group of losers is created by the players themselves, as well as a series of factors such as society, economy, and family.

The reason why I say this is very simple, players are actually different from ordinary people, and ordinary people's careers are to work hard for decades and then get a pension to live a happy life of planting flowers and grass, feeding dogs and birds. If nothing else, his income should have been rising before retirement, but the player is different, his most profitable thing is the more than ten years of football, and after retiring, his income plummeted immediately.

In addition to Atkinson, who was killed on the spot, another extreme example is England star Tommy Lawton, who played for Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal, and scored 22 goals in 23 international games for England in the 50s. At that time, people were full of praise for Lawton's header skills, and some people even rumored that he could levitate in the air when heading, which was basically a football version of Iron Man.

Like the wealthy Iron Man, while playing, Lawton was paid a league cap of more than £20 a week. But 15 years after he retired, £20 was a tiny amount, leading Lawton, who had no other survival skills, to write to his former friend Sir Attenberg to borrow money. Eventually, Lawton died in a downfall, and repeatedly advised his son, Tommy II, to "never be a footballer again".

Under the current social security system in the UK, Brits cannot start receiving a minimum pension of £1,484 per week until they are 65 years old. But most players retire at the age of 35 and will have no income for up to 30 years without any other work. In other words, the money that a professional player has earned in his glamorous ten years needs to be broken into decades of spending, and he has to account for the endless inflation.

According to the BBC, the real purchasing power of the pound has depreciated by almost 66% in the last 30 years. In other words, the £1 million earned in 1986 has remained unchanged, and today the actual value is only one-third of that year.

In this way, if you don't have a lot of money accumulated before, then you can directly avoid talking about saving money in the bank and eating interest, and you can only consider making investments, but if you really want to make investments, can most players with poor culture do it? In such a situation, some people will definitely say that they should ask a professional manager to help invest, but the reality is that there are countless players who have been cheated and ruined.

Coupled with the fact that most of the players generally lived a relatively poor life before stepping into the first team, and their crazy ostentation and profligacity after getting rich overnight, Santhiago and Banega both know this very well, not to mention the living examples of South American stars in front of them.

West Bromwich Albion defender Liam Ridgewell, for example, once wiped his butt with a stack of £20 bills in his toilet, causing the famous "toilet incident". There was a Premier League player who bought six Harley-Davidson motorcycles, but he couldn't drive them. Because his professional contract forbade him to drive a motorcycle to prevent an accident from affecting his career. But he bought it anyway, the reason is just that everyone bought one, so I wanted to buy a bunch of ......

Another example is Aston Villa's former famous star Lee Hendry, who bought his parents, older siblings, seven aunts and eight aunts a big house when he was a player, and then when he retired, he found that he simply did not have the financial resources to continue to pay these mortgages. Unfortunately, British real estate collapsed later, and his direct financial losses amounted to £10 million.

What's more, the winger Gillespie, a member of the Class of 92 and later transferred to Newcastle, insisted on spending £130,000 on a pub for a long time, and finally went bankrupt due to a gambling loss of £7 million; Former England international David James, in the prime of his spending money, if the shoes wore out, he threw away and bought a new one, and if the car was scratched, he also bought a new one. The end result was clear, he declared bankruptcy a year after retiring and then made a living by auctioning off the shirts he had traded for Frank Lampard, Petr Cech and others......

This is the so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. Retirement is a watershed moment for a player, and you make £50,000 a week before you retire, and when you walk out the door after drinking, you may not earn any money, but the spending habits that have been formed are difficult to change.

It's like that for the players, and it's also for the players' wives.

In fact, many players have the problem of cheating in marriage, and some were even caught and raped in bed by his daughter-in-law. But many of these bad things were exposed by ex-wives after the player retired. Why, because the players have money when they play football, they have enough capital for their daughter-in-law to eat, drink, buy and buy, and visit Dubai twice a year. If you poke things out in the prime of the player, it will not only be love that will disappear, but also a beautiful life piled up with money.

However, once a player crosses the bottom line, or cuts off the flow of funds, then, ho is afraid of ho, and the big deal is to divorce and break up. Moreover, retired players will suddenly spend a lot more time with their wives, which not only increases the chance of conflicts, but also cannot be used as an excuse to avoid training and games. In addition, if the divorce process is entered, then these players with a lot of money will be severely cut off a piece of meat in the division of property.

Therefore, to sum up, after the Atkinson incident and continued to ferment, the players can't help but endanger themselves, compared to those big-name stars, Villarreal generals have neither super high fame to help them become commentators after retirement, nor super high wages to help them worry about food and clothing, but also no endless endorsements, advertising, they have begun to worry about it in their hearts.

Especially the older Rodriguez, Rossi, and Godin from South America, among others.
