650, the big savior of retired players
Lovren's Cuckold is not an improvised fabrication, but something that can be searched at hand.
It's definitely a heartbreaking story.
A tall, handsome, and successful man begged his wife to stay for the sake of his family and children, but his wife resolutely abandoned her husband and two children to pursue her love.
Anita must have true love for that lumberjack.
And true love should always be respected.
So he struggled to convince Lovren to make the decision, and the teammate was prompted to transfer all the millions of pounds of assets in his name to the investment fund he had just opened.
In the process of transferring, perhaps out of frustration, or perhaps out of special trust in Longshut, Lovren used the method of "free donation".
He is not an investment, but a donation, which means that this multi-million pound asset has nominally nothing to do with him.
And then...... He negotiated a divorce with his wife.
The children were raised by herself, and Anita left the house with only 100,000 pounds as a settling-in fee.
Anita, who is bent on love, surprisingly did not struggle with Lovren over the division of property, and she left her husband of three years without looking at it and boarded a flight to Croatia.
Looking at the jet whizzing away, Lovren, who remained in the parking lot, suddenly cried like a tearful man.
It's over.
But it's just getting started.
-
Ronshette didn't tell Rodgers everything, but it's impossible to hide the team's head coach from the player's divorce.
With a wave of his hand, Rogers gave Lovren a two-week vacation to recuperate a bit and take care of the aftermath.
At the same time, Long Shute also had a small move on his side.
On October 27, the "Retired Players' Life Security Foundation", which was advocated by him and strongly supported by the FA and the players' union, was officially established in Liverpool.
This is not an epoch-making foundation, because in the sports world, there are enough foundations of all kinds, and almost all the slightly influential stars want a piece of the pie in this field, but due to poor management and lack of succession, most of them are thunderous and rainy, and they quickly disappear into the dust of history.
But it is clear that Lonshette is not trying to make a gimmick, he launched the initiative more than two months ago in the hope that both retired and current players will be able to join the foundation, and for this he has contacted more than a dozen celebrities in England and Liverpool.
Maybe his influence is really strong enough, or maybe everyone just sees his earning power, and on the day of the unveiling ceremony, more than 80 million pounds were raised in the foundation's account!
And that's not even counting Lonsette's own start-up capital and the FA's allocation!
Mainly the BBC, Sky TV, Liverpool Echo, and The Times, the relevant mainstream media have focused on the incident, and most of the comments mentioned are mainly positive:
"Yes, we all know that China Dragon is quite good at financial investment, and has occupied the first place in the global sports star gold attraction list for three consecutive years, and is absolutely ahead of Ronaldo and Messi. According to the assessment of relevant institutions, the football superstar is worth about 1 billion, pounds! Compared with this figure, his wife, Emma Watson, a famous British film and television star, is worth only a drop in the bucket......"
"According to Long Shute himself, the Retired Players Life Security Foundation is committed to protecting those professional players who have no support after retirement, and provides them with corresponding employment opportunities according to the different situations of the players, so as to avoid them having to sit and wait for death at the age of thirty or forty to ......"
"What kind of spirit is it that a Chinese travels thousands of miles to ensure the retirement life of a group of English players? This is the spirit of legendary internationalism! On the other hand, what have the government departments of our British Empire done in the past few decades? What else will they do besides giving out subsistence allowances, providing low-rent housing, and using taxpayers' hard-earned money to support the lazy?! ”

The establishment of the foundation is not because Long Shute is really kind, wanting to rob the rich and help the poor to help these Brits, but to obtain a more positive social image in Britain and Europe.
Sportsmanship has always been an extremely wealthy profession, but when most people retire, they experience a huge gap.
According to a survey by the Association of Retired Players (XPro), a British sports charity, 33.3% of British 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 78% of players in the NFL go bankrupt.
Chinese media reported that during Dong Fangzhuo's time at Manchester United, he spent millions of yuan to buy a number of luxury cars, and it is said that even Ronaldo and Rooney could not compare to him at that time, so he was hated by the two big men of the Red Devils, and was quickly excluded and suppressed, and was also despised by Ferguson, who valued the record, and only played a few minutes in the first team from beginning to end.
This report was later denied by Dong Fangzhuo, but it is actually quite in line with the consumption psychology of most professional players.
You know, the weekly salary of a Premier League apprentice is generally 80-100, and once a professional contract is signed, the weekly salary immediately skyrockets to four figures!
In the context of the Premier League's general weekly salary of tens of thousands of pounds, spending extravagance has also become a common phenomenon.
Luxury cars, mansions, nightclubs, beautiful women, this is almost the best portrayal of the off-field life of some players, they may have earned tens of millions of pounds in their careers of more than ten years, but when they retire, they will find that their bank accounts may still be negative!
Class 92 member Gillespie insisted on spending £130,000 on a single pub for a long time, and finally went bankrupt after losing £7 million in gambling.
Former England international David James, in the prime of his money, if the shoes wore out, he threw away and bought a new one, if the car was scratched, he also bought a new one, the end result is obvious, he retired a year after declaring bankruptcy, and then auctioned off the shirts that were exchanged for Frank Lampard, Petr Cech and others for a living......
Villa's former famous football 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 paying these mortgages. Unfortunately, British real estate collapsed later, and his direct financial losses amounted to £10 million.
Although young players are also educated in youth schools, such as Marcus Rashford at the age of 19 and going home to do his homework after games, it is undeniable that most players do not have much education, so they rarely have a concept of personal assets, after all, not everyone is Beckham or Ronaldo.
For example, the legendary captain of the Red Army, Steven Gerrard, whose best grade in junior high school math was only a grade of C, that is, 70 points, even had to post online to seek answers when he tutored his daughter with her primary school homework.
The elementary school question that stumped Gerard was...... 4/5=? /15。
Of course, there are also people who understand the truth of taking precautions, but investment has always been a high-risk thing, even the Chinese real estate industry, which is known as "making steady profits without losing money", may also be trapped by unscrupulous developers, or even run away with money, not to mention that European real estate has always been sluggish.
Even if these four-limbed and simple-minded players want to invest, it will be difficult to find a way out, after all, not everyone has found a new industry with a market potential of 30 billion euros like Arsenal midfielder Flamini......
For example, former West Ham United and Australian national team captain Lucas Neal is the background board of "Grosso has made meritorious contributions", and his total income in his playing career is as high as 40 million Australian dollars, about 200 million yuan. But he is very keen on high-risk investment, what American real estate, British E rent, in the end, all the money was wasted, and he entered bankruptcy liquidation just after retiring.
Another example is Ronaldo, he also once invested in a social software Mobbito, which is said to be particularly powerful, equivalent to the Portuguese version of 58.com + Dianping + Meituan, and then, there is no then.
The same is true of Pique, who in 2012 invested in a video-sharing app called Viddy, which was claimed to surpass Facebook and Instagram. As a result, two years later, the entire company changed hands for more than $10 million, and even 30% of the original financing was not returned.
So, Lonshit proposed the idea to his own commercial team, and those professionals quickly made all kinds of preliminary preparations, and when he joined Liverpool, the plan was officially prepared.
In fact, there are many similarities between the UK and China, and using football as a vehicle can also quickly obtain a lot of political resources, although these arrogant British are not optimistic about his foundation.
But Long Shute didn't care, his foundation was nothing more than two purposes:
The first is to build a network. From the most basic coaches, players, referees, and football association officials, to the upper level of government agencies, business predators, and celebrities, they can all be encircled in their own circles, and by the way, their social status will be improved - of course, it will take time.
The second is to absorb funds. Although the acquisition of Liverpool Club has received strong support from the domestic consortium, in order to become the biggest speaker, Longshute still paid a huge price, so when implementing new investment projects, he inevitably seems powerless, and he can get tens of millions of funds, which is also a rare support force for him now.
As for benefiting society or something...... Every year, I go to visit a few retired players, send a bag of rice and a pot of oil, and then shake hands cordially, talk to each other, and let the TV station film the whole process, isn't that enough!
Not really...... Just pick a key poor household and build two brick houses for him, and the land in England is not expensive!
