Chapter 143: Lost and Gained

"National team head coach Hodel announced today the 22-man roster of England's national team participating in the World Cup in France. This list is mainly composed of veterans and is basically composed of Premier League players. The only player from the English League One is Middlesbrough veteran Paul Merson. Among the young players, David Beckham of Manchester United and Paul Scholes; Michael Irving of Liverpool and Rio Ferdinand of West Ham United have become lucky.

Jason, Gasco was sobbing after losing the national team. Two other League One players, Kevin Phillips, and Chinese mixed-race Tiger Lee, were eventually out of the election. In terms of attacking the midfield and substitute forward, Hoddle chose Paul Merson and Les Ferdinand, the two veterans... Below is the big list of the national team, with three goalkeepers, David Sheeman, Niger Martin and Tim Flowers, and seven defenders..."

When Severke Ross came to Tiger's house, the news was playing on the TV. Tiger watched the TV and said nothing.

This news actually aired last night, but before that, Tiger knew that he would miss the national team.

Think about it, how can I, a player who has not even entered the English youth teams at all levels, be qualified to compete for positions with veterans? In the position of attacking the midfield, Scholes is Manchester United's main midfielder, deeply loved by Hodel, Paul Merson and Robert Lee are experienced and willing to play as a substitute. Even Chelsea's captain Wise was out of the election. What can I do to stand out in the competition for so many famous players?

Tiger didn't think he could be selected for the national team before to catch up with this World Cup. After all, he only had one and a half seasons to play in the first team. If he played as the main team in the Premier League team, he might be selected for the national team. However, half a season in the English League Two and half a season in the English League One - Tiger himself felt that there would not be such a good thing on his head.

However, the hot media hype some time ago did give Tiger some illusions, making him feel that he had the opportunity to join the national team - but the hope was finally shattered, which also brought Tiger some extra sense of loss.

The English media with a keen sense of smell will naturally not miss this opportunity. The Sun sent reporters to interview several popular unsuccessful players. Gascoin's crying brought a huge gimmick to the Sun. However, although Tiger is much younger than Gascoin, he simply said: "I think coach Hodell has his own considerations. Maybe he thinks I am not mature enough. Then in the future I will try to make myself more mature and strive to enter the national team. After all, I am still young."

"I'm sorry, Tiger, I was not selected for the national team this time... But I still have to congratulate you on your performance in the playoffs, you're simply excellent." Ross said to Tiger straight to the point.

"Mr. Ross, there is no regret. After all, I am a League One player... But I think I will have a greater chance in the future." Tiger shook his head and said.

"Yes, when you enter the Premier League, you will naturally get more attention, and the achievements you have achieved are more convincing. If you have been included in the Premier League in more than a season, no one dares not to call you into the national team." Ross laughed: "So today, I want to discuss your future with you."

Tiger looked up at the impeccable agent sitting and suddenly laughed: "Future? Mr. Ross, isn't my future in Preston? The President said two days ago that he would renew a long appointment with me."

"You didn't agree to him, did you?" Ross's face turned apart.

"No." Tiger shook his head: "Of course, I didn't refuse, I just said that you need to talk to my agent, Mr. Ross."

"Yes, it's a wise approach." Ross changed his posture to make himself sit more comfortable: "How players negotiate face-to-face with the club can easily cause conflicts. Not every club will be so generous to the players. They always try their best to make the club more saver and get less. So, this is the necessity of our agents. Through us negotiations, there will be less conflicts between players and clubs, because we are doing things that offend people."

Tiger laughed and didn't say anything.

"Okay, my employer, now I have to know what you think about the future." Ross brought the sentence to the topic.

"Future? Stay at Preston and play this season's Premier League game." Tiger replied in a simple manner.

"No, I'm not talking about playing football, but contracts. Playing football is your business, contracts, and mine. What are your requirements for treatment? Do you think about a stronger team in the past? What are the requirements for your status in the team? I can't control your ideas too much. After all, I'm serving you, not for you." Ross shook his head and said.

"Team status? I don't think there is anything to say. Now I am also very important in the team... As for whether I want to go to a stronger team... Does any team want me? As for the treatment... Mr. Ross, what kind of treatment do you think I am asking for now is more reasonable?" Tiger said after thinking about it.

Ross gave the answer very readily: "Salary, only enough salary can prove your position in the team. Your current contract is simply a joke. Everyone can see that Preston's real strength last season was nothing more than the middle level of the League One. However, with your help, they entered the Premier League, and the role you played in the game can be said to be the greatest. However, what about? A weekly salary of 2,000 pounds! Ranked in the middle and lower level of the entire team! Can this be worthy of your efforts?

Preston enters the Premier League and will earn at least several million pounds more next season. If your salary is not greatly improved, it can only prove that the club doesn't care about you at all... Yes, you have feelings for Preston and are loyal to Preston. I hope to live a lifetime with a salary of 2,000 pounds? Even if you can still play for ten years, an annual salary of 100,000 pounds per year, and then you have to live a lifetime with this million pounds..."

"The club won't give me this salary all the time, right?" Tiger interrupted Rose.

"Of course, what I have put forward is just an assumption. Players have to earn enough money for ten years of work. You are so hard, and other children are sweating heavily on the training ground while studying and playing. Of course, they are trying to make their lives better. Do you just want to live a white-collar life? What a joke? If you don't have enough income to live a luxurious life, why do you have to live so hard? If your ability is just like that, it's fine. Many amateur players still need to work to maintain their lives when playing football, but you have the ability to become a top player, and of course you also need to get top income! If the Preston Club is unwilling to give you equal treatment, then leave, some teams want to poach you." Ross said in inflammatory words.

Tiger nodded unconsciously. This is a matter of course. Even if players play football and make money, they are not the most important, nor are they the most important. For a player, the amount of income often determines their status.

"Then how much weekly do you think I should pay?" Tiger asked.

"At least ten times more than your current income." Ross smiled and reported such a number.

"Twenty thousand pounds!!" Tiger almost choked by his saliva. The highest salary of the team last season was only 5,000 pounds. That was the salary obtained by captain Nogan, and Ridell's second highest salary was only 4,000 pounds... His entire income last season was 150,000 pounds, an annual salary of 100,000 pounds, a bonus of 20,000 pounds for more than 30 appearances, and a bonus of 30,000 pounds for the team's upgrade. The current number Ross said, it only takes less than two months to earn more than the entire season last season...

"Is 20,000 pounds a lot?" Ross glanced at Tiger: "The salary of the main offensive players of the mid-range Premier League team is basically the number now. The last-ranked team in the Premier League team has a revenue of more than 10 million pounds in a season. This income is brought by your players. How can you not give more feedback to you? That is, it's just one million a year. Preston's annual income will increase at least 10 million pounds in the Premier League. Your contribution to entering the Premier League will be at least 40%. Now what you ask for is only 10% of the profit."

Tiger was still a little unbelievable, and his income soared ten times, which means that the money he used to raise ten players can only be used to support him alone - will Preston agree?

"You don't have to worry about this. In fact, if you were not the absolute main and core at Preston, my request would have increased by 10,000 pounds." Ross smiled: "If you transfer to another mid-range Premier League team, there will be many players who are willing to sign you with a weekly salary of 30,000 pounds, but then you will lose these conveniences at Preston, so you can retreat a little in this regard. If Preston doesn't even want to pay this little money, then I'm bluntly speaking, they will probably return to the League One after another season. Will you still be willing to go to the League One?"

"Of course I don't want to!" Tiger replied without thinking - I finally entered the Premier League and returned to the League One? What a joke! Tiger now feels that there is no possibility of training in the League One, let alone a year later?

"That's it. I will ask your club during the next period of time, but if they firmly disagree with this treatment, are you willing to transfer?" Ross smiled slightly and said.

Tiger was stunned for a moment.

Transfer?

In the ten years since Tiger started playing football, he never thought about transferring. Even in the two years he was assigned to the reserve team, he thought about entering the first team in this way. After returning to the first team, he thought about winning continuously in Preston...

Now, Ross asked him if he wanted to transfer!

At this moment, Tiger even felt that it was a mistake to find Rose as his agent, otherwise how could he have just advanced to the Premier League with the team, and at the most wonderful time he said he wanted to transfer?

However, Tiger quickly dispelled this idea because when Ross had said so much money, Tiger did not see greed in Ross' eyes, but looked very enthusiastic, as if they were discussing not a large sum of money, but a very interesting thing.

"It's better not to transfer. I don't really want to leave Preston." Tiger shook his head and said.

"I understand." Ross nodded, then stood up and said goodbye. As he approached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "But if you see me in the newspaper later on, don't believe it, because this is also a means of negotiation."

Tiger nodded, indicating that he understood.

Because he was not selected for the national team, Tiger was depressed for two days. In these two days, Kelly ran to Preston to accompany him, and comforted him with warmth. Lao Li and Louisa smiled from ear to ear when they saw their son bringing back such a beautiful girlfriend. Because the accommodation conditions of the house were average, Lao Li drove Tiger out of the house and asked him to stay in a hotel with Kelly. As for whether his son would have something to do with Kelly, Lao Li didn't want to care about it - his son was so old, so what else could he care about...

But two days later, Tiger basically figured it out. It was a fact that it was not selected for the national team. It was a pity that I missed a World Championship, but after all, I was still young. Think about the poor Gascoin. He cried so sadly in front of so many people, and more because he missed this time, he would have no chance to be selected for the national team in the future. The current national team members are older, and at least half of the players are around thirty years old. No matter what the performance is after the World Cup, they will definitely have a major change. As long as they perform well, they are afraid that they will not have a chance?

What's more, I have never played football with the members of the national team before. Even if I were selected into the roster, I would probably not have any chance to play. If I don't go there, I will not lose anything. The most loss is my familiarity with the atmosphere of the competition and the accumulation of experience...

This is true for others, but for yourself, is this still a problem? Experience accumulation? Competition atmosphere? Everything can be simulated in the main god space. Do you need to go to the World Cup to experience this atmosphere on the bench?

Now I am a Premier League player. The European Cup two years later and the World Cup four years later are my goals and time to shine!

After spending two days with Tiger, Kelly left Preston reluctantly - her career in London has reached a critical moment. In addition to becoming famous in the modeling industry, she may also enter the film and television industry and cannot stay in Preston for too long.

However, Tiger now hopes that Kelly will leave quickly. He is inseparable from Kelly these days. He has not even had time to enter the main god space and has not received his own reward yet...

Of course, he was not so stupid that he urged Kelly to leave quickly. It would be okay to delay one or two days. At worst, he would increase training in the next time to make up for the losses. What's more, he and Kelly are even more inseparable from fire. Two days ago, he and Kelly were captured by paparazzi while walking on the streets of Preston. Soon, an article "The National Team Frustration, the Love Field is Successful - Tiger Lee and the famous model Kelly Brooke Walking on the Streets" prepared by Sun reporter Clement, was released, and it also attracted some of the attention.

After Kelly left, Tiger, who returned home, was pulled by her parents for a long time. She immediately went to Kelly's house to propose marriage. It was not until the evening that Tiger had a peaceful time...

"Long time no see, you are such a busy person." Lin Danda laughed at Tiger, who had just entered the main god space: "What, don't you want the reward? Don't happen. Our company's economy is not in a bad mood now. If you can save a little salary for employees, just save a little..."

"Do you have no labor laws? Even if I don't get them for the time being, you can't just deduct them..." Tiger said dissatisfied.

"Who asked you to get a salary is not active." Lin Danda laughed twice.

Too lazy to pay attention to this egg that seemed increasingly bored recently, Tiger walked straight to the console and began to check out the rewards he received.

The condition for completing the task is to become a Premier League player. However, there are many ways to become a Premier League player. It is obviously the most difficult to advance to lead a team that is not very strong. What's more, Tiger's performance this season is a sweep of the English League One, and he has a magical performance in the play-offs, so for granted, he also received the highest evaluation.

Two special skills, 20,000 training points, and 5,000 skill points!

I have long thought about which two skills I want to choose. Now he has many abilities to strengthen, speed, explosive power, shooting and passing are all what he wants to increase. As an attacking midfielder, passing ability is the fundamental, and shooting ability can give him more opportunities to perform. In the absence of speed and explosive power, Tiger has suffered a lot before, which makes him spend more energy to get rid of his opponent, which is difficult to choose.

In the end, Tiger chose to increase the upper limit of the shooting and the skill "mile shooter" and the skill "midfield command tower" that increased the upper limit of the passing. Tiger thought it very clearly that speed and explosive power are not necessary for the time being. However, his shooting and passing are barely enough in the English League One, but in the Premier League, it is not very enough. The Premier League defensive players will be better, and it is difficult to deal with better defensive players just by breaking through.

After choosing these two abilities, Tiger took a deep breath, and then he had to train his proficiency in these two skills! After this summer, he will have another transformation!

Now he has 7,200 skill points, enough to increase the upper limit of these two abilities to the limit in one breath. However, Tiger still chose to train. He vaguely felt that the ability attributes are actually not particularly important, and how much he can play is the most important thing!
Chapter completed!
