Heads Up Hollywood

It's 2004 now.

Basically, from this time on, the Premier League began to overtake Serie A and became the most watched football league in the world.

On the one hand is the economic crisis in Italy.

On the one hand, the Italian Football Association made a big news and poached Lippi from Juventus, and then Juventus poached Capello from Rome, which directly led to the collapse of Rome. Rome has collapsed, and the other "Seven Sisters" fake giants are naturally not much better. Serie A lost its balance and began the era of giants.

The most important aspect is the tax reform of the Premier League.

In order to attract top players to join, the Premier League offers the lowest personal income tax of the five major leagues, only 39%!

During the same period, Italy 46.5%, Germany 45%, Spain 44%, France, a "socialist" country, is even more exaggerated, generally above 50%, and there is also an astonishing social insurance tax.

Not only that, the Premier League also stipulates that players do not have to pay taxes on their income from UEFA Champions League games in non-UK regions.

In other words, if the four Champions League teams, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea, go to other countries to play games, then they will not have to pay taxes on the bonuses and salaries they get in this game.

This is obviously serving the giants and helping the giants attract top players to join.

Under this tax reform policy, the Premier League rose rapidly and took advantage of the natural language advantages of English to kill the whole world within ten years!

In 2012, when the Premier League was already the undisputed most commercial professional league, it began to slaughter the meat, and the tax rate was greatly increased, reaching the 45% income tax common to the five major leagues.

It is now 2004, and the Premier League team has a clear advantage.

Liverpool is already Twain's private team, and he will start to build the team according to his own philosophy.

"Among the transfer transactions that have been completed, the most important one is Rooney's joining Manchester United. In the ongoing transaction, Totti's transfer to Real Madrid is the most hyped transfer at the moment."

Just like the experience taught by Abu Ramovich to Twain, Liverpool CEO Rick Parry was shocked when he heard that Twain was going to interfere with the team's transfer.

He also heard Tang En say that he would not use the club's funds, but buy big-name players from his own pocket, which immediately attracted Rick Parry's surprise and strong approval.

Money, at the level of Tang En and Abu, money is just a number.

But for ordinary people, it is still a panacea.

"Totti transferred to Real Madrid?" Tang En was a little amused when he heard that.

Rick Parry explained: "The chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino, is promoting the plan of one superstar a year. Last year, Rome was the runner-up in Serie A, and it was entirely Totti's own power. He is the leader of Serie A and even the Italian national team. He is an iconic figure. He is 27 years old, is at the peak of his career, and looks handsome, with high commercial value, which is very helpful for Real Madrid to open up the Italian market. It is said that Real Madrid has offered him an annual salary of 12 million euros before tax , at Real Madrid, that's the level of Ronaldo, Zidane and Raúl."

Tang En shook his head.

Maybe Real Madrid is very sincere, but it is impossible for a player like Totti to leave Rome.

Just like Gerrard had a hard time leaving Liverpool.

Then he sighed, "Unfortunately, we should have shot earlier, maybe we can snatch Rooney from Manchester United!"

Rick Parry immediately shook his head: "It's impossible. For those young kids, Ferguson and Wenger have a magic and attraction beyond imagination, which cannot be measured by money."

Tang En didn't discuss the topic any more, and asked him for the documents he needed.

Here is the list of players on the transfer market this summer.

The transfer of players is not a direct match between clubs and clubs.

It is a "club-agent-club" model.

In order to win more benefits for the player clients, the agent will send the fax file of the player's "entering the market" to every qualified club after receiving the club's purchase invitation.

Get everyone involved.

Either bidding, or raising the price.

The more intense the competition, the better the contracts.

Of course, there is no need to make too much publicity about a transfer like Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid.

Because apart from Real Madrid, no club can make a transfer offer that satisfies Inter Milan's appetite.

Except for superstar players like Ronaldo and Zidane, most player transfers usually involve multiple clubs competing together.

In this transfer window, Liverpool received more than 200 recommendation lists for player transfers, among which President Rick Parry listed 50 players who met the team building standards.

De Rossi, Stam, Xavi Alonso, Lucio, Luis Garcia, Cisse, Crespo, Deco, Drogba, Quaresma, Kluivert, Vieira, Cannavaro, Emerson, Ibrahimovic, Samuel, Paulo Pereira, Giuly, Morientes, Di Vaio, Alan Smith, Heinze , Eto'o, Mihajlovic, Thiago...

On the list, there are many names that make Tang En's heart flutter.

However, his transfer budget had better not exceed 100 million US dollars (80 million euros), otherwise, Tang En Capital would encounter a cash flow crisis, and there would not be enough pocket money.

Furthermore, even though Twain's favorite players were selected, they had to meet the tactical standards of Liverpool coach Benitez.

Benitez is the main promoter of the 4231 formation in European football, competing with Mourinho's 433 formation, leading the trend.

At present, Liverpool must make sure to build a team with Gerrard as the core team, that is to say, behind the forward center forward, Gerrard must be in the position.

From this level, a player like Deco is not suitable for joining Liverpool.

"Rafa is Spanish and he likes to be able to bring in a few Spanish players. Currently, we are in contact with the agent of Javi Alonso, Luis Garcia and Morientes. These three acquisitions ... should not be a problem. Big." Seeing that Tang En was silent, Rick Parry said tentatively.

He has already seen that this young boss is indeed a fan.

The names of many players are familiar, so it should not be too layman.

Tang En nodded, "It's okay, the club's transfer policy can be carried out normally. Of course, it would be even better if I could cooperate with the players I selected and build the team as a whole."

Xavi Alonso has achieved great success in Liverpool, Luis Garcia's level is a bit lacklustre, and Morientes is a complete failure... However, Twain has no intention of interfering with the club's transfer policy .

Although Rafa Benister's transfer operation is not bright, it is not too blind.

In his previous life, he stayed at Liverpool for 6 years and spent a total of 250 million euros on buying players and 180 million euros on selling players.

It is equivalent to a net investment of only 70 million euros in 6 years.

Compared to Mourinho's profligacy, Benitez is like a miser.

There are some failed acquisitions, and that's okay.

It doesn't cost much anyway.

A player like Xabi Alonso, who scratches a lottery ticket, makes a lot of money.

Rick Parry frowned and said in a low voice: "Boss, why don't you take some time to meet Rafa and communicate about football ideas? In case the players you bought..."

"No need!" Tang En resolutely refused, he didn't want to meet that stinky and hard-tempered guy, "Excellent players can always inspire football. Don't worry, the players I brought to Liverpool will definitely The best player ever!"

"Yes...is it?"

Rick Parry is hard to believe.

The best player, is Totti?

Liverpool can't buy it!

"Take a pen and write it down."

Unexpectedly, Tang En made a decision in the blink of an eye.

Rick Parry was a little dumbfounded, "Remember...remember what?"

Tang En said angrily: "Of course it's the player I want to buy for the team!"

"Boss, you... you just decided?" Rick Parry was stunned and murmured, "I also prepared detailed information for each player, as well as video clips and scouting reports. Comment with the agent..."

Tang En waved his hand, "No need, I have my own understanding of football, and I don't need to listen to other people's opinions!"

Rick Parry pouted again and again.

He wanted to see what players Tang En could pick out.

If it is really unbearable, he will definitely fight for it.

Although it was spent in Twain's personal pocket, he couldn't buy a player who disrupted the structure of Liverpool's team.

"Next season, Liverpool will fight on multiple fronts, especially in the Champions League. There is not enough depth in the lineup, it will not work at all, especially the midfielder. Emerson is a midfielder who can attack and defend, and must be won!"

Emerson was the mainstay of last season's Serie A runners-up Roma.

However, with the departure of Capello and the opening of the Rome supermarket, a large number of outstanding players are leaving the team one after another.

Hearing Tang En's words, Rick Parry couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and looked at Tang En in shock.

"What's the matter?" Tang En looked at him puzzled.

Rick Parry said excitedly: "Boss, you...do you really want to buy Emerson?"

"Can't you?"

"No, he is the top player, but he is worth a lot of money. The team's budget is limited. After buying Xavi Alonso in the midfield position, there is no extra money to buy suitable players. If you can Inject money to buy this midfielder, then Liverpool next season..."

As he spoke, Rick Parry choked up and his eyes turned red.

Tang En was a little dumbfounded.

seriously?

Are you going to cry?

Acting school ah!

Or...he really loves Liverpool, deeply?

"How much is it worth?"

"Xavi Alonso is a young hero and a rising star in the Spanish midfield. The estimated transfer fee will not be less than 15 million euros. Emerson will only be higher, and will exceed 20 million euros."

Hearing Rick Parry say such a "shocking" player's worth, Dunn almost burst out laughing.

Rome's midfielder Emerson, one of the best midfielders in the world today, is only worth 20 million euros?

purchase!

must buy!

Rather than letting Emerson go to Juventus like in his previous life, and then being miserably trapped by the Telephone Gate incident, it would be better to bring him to Anfield to create the glory of the Red Army.
