I AM the Football Star

Chapter 1217: Chapter 289: You Can’t Compete With Me!

Enhancing Barça’s fighting power, without affecting Barça’s original system.

And willing to leave after it’s done, not staying to compete with Mateo for control!

The only person who can meet all these conditions in today’s football world.

That’s… Lu Yang!

That night, Guardiola didn’t sleep a wink, his anxiety was acting up.

His wife asked him what was happening.

Guardiola laid it all out.

“So Lu Yang still doesn’t know that Barça wants him as well? Then what are you anxious about? Go and ask Lu Yang!”

“If he wants to join Manchester City, then go to Manchester City. If he wants to join Barça, then stay at Barça!”

“Anyway, whoever it is, they’ve handed the negotiation rights with Lu Yang to you, haven’t they?”

His wife’s words were a wake-up call.

Guardiola immediately rushed to the airport, waiting for the first flight to China.

…

The transfer period passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was July.

Sichuan, Mianyang, Jiangyou, Garden Primary School.

A child-level football friendly match is taking place here.

Lu Yang has already ditched the wheelchair and can now walk with crutches.

His recovery speed is astonishing.

By the middle of the next season’s first half, he might be able to make a comeback.

This is definitely a shot in the arm for the teams looking to buy him.

Soon, the stadium exploded.

Because a half-bald foreigner walked onto the field led by Tang Yuqin.

The parents cheering for their kids immediately recognized this bald head.

Jose Guardiola!

Former Barça superstar!

Current head coach of Barcelona Football Club!

La Liga’s best head coach!

A world-renowned coach!

Rumor has it that Manchester City offered him the highest salary in world football to hire him, and prepared three hundred million euros for the next two seasons to build a world-class team!

And right now, he’s appearing in China, his purpose indisputable.

Lu Yang!

He’s here to invite Lu Yang to join Manchester City!

Take photos!

Social media!

Chinese football exploded instantly!

Then, the ripple effects swept through world football, crashing all major sports media websites domestically due to the overwhelming flow of traffic in a short period!

The entire internet, practically had an hour of vacuum period!

And during this hour, Guardiola sat with Lu Yang on the Garden Primary School’s track, watching the young players play football while chatting casually.

“Do you want to go to the Premier League, or La Liga?” Guardiola got straight to the point.

Lu Yang looked at Guardiola.

Guardiola: “Serie A federation president Martivini recently received support on multiple resolutions from the Premier League and La Liga chairpersons. I have reason to believe they’ve reached some kind of agreement.”

“But… a woman can’t marry twice.”

“There can only be one number one league in the world.”

“If my guess is correct, wherever you go next will become the number one league in the world!”

Lu Yang’s pupils shrank.

Guardiola was indeed a clever man.

“Everyone is watching your transfer, but even your most fanatical supporters can’t believe how much your transfer will be involved in or even decide so many things!” Guardiola said, “So, do you want to go to the Premier League, or La Liga!”

Lu Yang laughed: “You’ve put the Premier League first twice, which means you prefer me choosing the Premier League, right? Looks like Manchester City’s offer is indeed very tempting!”

The order of words, the emphasis, and the habits of the listener are sometimes important.

If the listener is impatient, they might not listen to the second option at all after you pause slightly after saying the first choice.

“Boss, where are we having dinner tonight? Is it at De Yue Building in the east of the city, or… city…”

“De Yue Building then!”

That’s it.

“Boss, where are we having dinner tonight? Is it at De Yue Building in the east of the city, or… Fuman Building in the north?”

The first option is said a bit quicker, then the words ‘Fuman Building’ are emphasized and slowed down.

The boss’s attention will be immediately drawn to the back, and hearing the word ‘Fu’, the omen feels better somehow.

Then naturally it’s Fuman Building.

Specific problems require specific analysis, the same thing can have various effects due to different elements.

Guardiola didn’t deny: “After all, it’s the highest global salary for a head coach.”

“Manchester City offered sixty-five million euros as transfer fees, San Remo shouldn’t object. No club would offer a higher price, considering your pending return after a major injury and unclear form.”

“A salary of seven million euros, with an annual increment of one million euros! Five-year contract, guaranteed no matter how things go. Even if you can’t play a single match, this money is still yours!”

“Bonuses for goals, assists, appearances, all are at the highest level in the team, you’d be the first core of the team, and the first choice for commercial operations and development!”

“For portrait rights, you and the team each get fifty percent! Though this can be negotiated, Manchester City’s commercial development isn’t great, annually you’d get around three million euros from this!”

“Signing bonus of five million euros, payable immediately! Last year’s Izalelt and the year before’s Gutierrez signing bonus was only two million euros!”

“Additionally, if you lead Manchester City to a league championship within two years, the bonus is five million euros!”

“Lead Manchester City to a Champions League championship within three years, the bonus is ten million euros!”

“The championship bonuses can be stacked, during the valid period, however many times you win, that’s how many times you get rewarded! If you’re lucky enough, strong enough, you can theoretically earn forty million euros from just this part in three years!”
