Looking at the starry sky in the distance, Yun Sheng whispered softly.

"Xiao Dong, you have been in Europe for some years, and on the football field, you are much more mature than the young Chinese people who Chen Tao and the others just left a message, but you still have a lot of things that you can't see through, such as the cruelty of professional football."

"A few decades ago, football was just a sport, and although it had a huge audience, people just saw it as a form of entertainment, and that was it. But now it is different, football has completely become a commercial activity, high advertising fees, endorsement fees, live broadcast fees, etc., so that the clubs chase the results to the point of extreme hunger. ”

"In this context, the human touch in football in the past will become much cold-blooded because of the integration of commercial behavior. For example, many big-name European clubs, in the case of many veterans' declining state and physical strength, they will choose to terminate the contract with the veteran, without considering the so-called human feelings, whether it is Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Bayern, Inter, this is already the norm in their clubs. ”

"This is not something that can be restrained by morality or human feelings, even a good man like Arsene Wenger offers veterans over 30 years old in the team to renew their contracts once a year to ensure that the club is not lost. A lot of people still can't see through this, and this shouldn't be. ”

"And that's true for veterans, and even more so for youngsters. How many young people come and go each year at Europe's top clubs, and very few end up staying. It's not because you don't get a chance to play, or because of an injury, like you. ”

'Your experience at Manchester United has been tortuous, and if it wasn't for the serious injury in '08, you would still have been very heavy on Alex Ferguson. He bought you for £3 million and then loaned you out to Belgium to help you develop and get your labour certificate as soon as possible before you can return to Manchester United. But you ended up with a serious injury in the international team, and that's the biggest problem that ruined your career prospects. ”

"Ferguson chose to terminate your contract in the end, on the one hand, because Manchester United did not want to spend more wages, which is definitely one of the reasons; On the other hand, Ferguson is also thinking about you. ”

Dong Fangzhuo was stunned: "Think about me, how do you say this?" ”

"Because Ferguson also wants you to find your next home more conveniently," Yunsheng explained, "If you still have a contractual relationship with Manchester United, then there may be some rules and regulations for your departure, even if someone is interested in you, Manchester United management may ask for some transfer fee, which is not even under Ferguson's control, so for the Jazz, the only thing he can help you with is to let you leave as a free agent, and you can choose at will." ”

"I'm not saying this because it's not unwarranted speculation. Many of the players sold by Manchester United in recent years have left the team at the price of cabbage, not that these players cannot be sold at a high price, but because Manchester United has not opened their mouths. Because Ferguson knows that if the transfer fee is lower, then the player will be paid more in the new team, and the other will be better. Therefore, when many veterans of Manchester United leave, almost all of them leave at a very low price. ”

"Actually, it's not just Manchester United, it's a lot of European giants too. Let's just say that last summer, Barcelona almost gave away players for nothing, Gudjohnsen, Silvinho, Holkela, Enrique and other players, almost all of them left the team for free; In Real Madrid, veterans such as Heinze and Cannavaro also left the team at a very low price, which is already the biggest tolerance of giants for veterans. ”

"So, Xiao Dong, Manchester United has cultivated you, and you should thank them; And Manchester United terminated your contract, I hope you don't have any complaints in your heart, it's not Manchester United's fault, and it's not anyone's ruthlessness. To put it mildly, if you are seriously injured in Monaco and your future is hopeless, do you think Prince Albert will always be with you to fulfill his contract? If that happens, maybe even I won't be able to keep you. ”

"For professional players, strength is the most important thing, and other so-called favors, loyalty, and feelings are just add-ons."

Dong Fangzhuo didn't reply, he still looked at the direction of the starry sky and didn't say a word.

Until he saw them leave an hour later, Yun Sheng didn't know if Dong Fangzhuo had figured it out.

However, he has done everything he can help him, as for whether Dong Fangzhuo's heart knot is resolved, it depends on him.

At night, sitting on the sofa in the apartment, Dong Fangzhuo still looked out the window silently, without saying a word.

Wang Chuhe, who went out of the house to the bathroom, was startled by him: "Brother Dong! What's your situation? Still not sleeping so late? ”

Dong Fangzhuo shook his head: "I'm thinking about something. ”

Wang Chuhe sat on the sofa with Dong Fangzhuo: "Well, let me take the liberty of asking, is it because the Champions League semifinals are about to meet Manchester United, so you have been thinking about this recently?" ”

Dong Fangzhuo was stunned: "How did you guess?" ”

Wang Chuhe smiled: "It's just a guess." ”

Dong Fangzhuo shook his head: "You kid, you're really smart, no wonder the boss always praises you." ”

Wang Chuhe smiled: "How can it be so exaggerated as you say, you and Brother Chen are geniuses, and I am far behind." ”

"You kid, you are calm and scary at all times," Dong Fangzhuo smiled bitterly, he suddenly remembered something, "Dude, let me ask you, Mace didn't sign a contract with you at the beginning, and when you were injured, he threw you to Monaco, don't you have any thoughts in your heart?" ”

Wang Chuhe shook his head: "I don't have any ideas. Mace wanted me because I had potential; Later, he didn't want me, also because he couldn't see my future. If they could know that I have the strength I have today, they will not be willing to let me go. That's professional football, it's normal. ”

Dong Fangzhuo covered his face: "Please don't say ......"

Wang Chuhe: "What's wrong?" ”

Dong Fangzhuo: "You are an 18-year-old child, how can you speak in the same tone as the boss just now, do you want to be so mature......"

Wang Chuhe smiled, he stood up: "Brother Dong, you should rest early, now for you, keep in good shape and strive to be able to play against Manchester United, this is the most important thing." ”

Dong Fangzhuo also immediately stood up: "That's right! Go to sleep! ”

Soon, the room fell silent.

Dong Fangzhuo's phone lit up, and he had just sent a message to Beckham, also to ask how he felt about facing Manchester United.

More than ten minutes later, Beckham's message returned.

"If he meets one day, how will I congratulate you? With tears, with silence. ”
