They will only see that not only are all the tickets for the opposing team’s fans free, but even the tickets for the away team’s games are free. How can they happily play knowing this? Doesn’t this mean that whenever Atletico Madrid plays, whether they’re the home team or the away team, the stands will almost always be filled to capacity?
All the teams in La Liga didn’t know what to say, let alone about the transfer fee of 2 billion Federal coins, because Finn Lewis had Jose directly screenshot the team’s account balance and posted it online. Looking at those lengthy zeros, all the middle-aged men and managers of the teams were dumbfounded. Damn, what game are you playing?!
While Finn Lewis was flourishing in the Southern Federation, another person’s heart was in turbulence, he was regretting. This person was no other than Elias, who hasn’t returned from the North Federation. After all, he hadn’t received a notification from Owen Things, and there were no Real Madrid matches taking place at the moment, so he remained in the North Federation.
Another reason was that three days later, there was a match for Real Madrid, and Elias didn’t even make it onto the 18-man roster! The reason? Simple, The transfer right of Elias now lay in the hands of Atletico Madrid. In a little over a month, during the winter break, Elias was to return to Atletico Madrid, which wasn’t Real Madrid’s biggest opponent but was indeed their city rivals. Real Madrid certainly wouldn’t help train a player for an opponent.
Moreover, Real Madrid had enough depth on the bench, so they weren’t worried about losing a main midfielder and whether they’d be able to play. Elias, however, was feeling very desolate, because Real Madrid had already told him that his contract had been sold to Atletico Madrid. In the past, Elias wouldn’t have cared where his contract was, as long as he could play. After all, as a professional footballer, you have to know that no one thinks they’ll be at one club forever.
This included Maxwell Messi, who had never been transferred, but even Messi would probably not dare to say that he would spend his entire life at Barza. And Elias? Even less daring. But if Elias didn’t care in the past, he regretted it now. Why did Finn Lewis take over Atletico Madrid, and why did his contract return to Atletico Madrid? He had found out because Finn Lewis had paid 70 million South Federation currency to Real Madrid, buying him right back.
However, did Finn buy him back because he admired Elias? Likely, not even a fool would believe that, which made Elias very worried in his heart. If it were a standard owner it wouldn’t be a big deal; a star bought back for tens of millions of South Federation currency would certainly not be left sitting on the bench. But Finn Lewis… Damn, look at the size of his investment! Export 2 billion directly into the team account.
This is for mining talents. What can 2 billion do? You could buy a whole team composed of superstars. Would Finn care about 70 million in South Federation currency? But since the contract was in Atletico Madrid’s hands, what could Elias do?
“Maybe you should apologize.” Elias’s agent was also a bit stunned. He hadn’t expected Finn Lewis to be the person they had offended that day. Elias hadn’t seen it coming, but he had because the events before and after were too coincidental. When Finn had Mason come over to pass him a message that day, he remembered that if he didn’t apologize… he would regret it.
Is this the consequence? Emery was terrified. Over a petty issue, Atletico Madrid was directly bought out and threw 70 million in South Federation currency to Real Madrid. This also required payments of Elias’s salary, how much money needed to be spent altogether? Was Finn’s money windfall? But no matter how he thought about it, he simply couldn’t comprehend. And there was no way to comprehend it because the opponent had already done so.
What should they do? Emery was only thinking that Elias should apologize, but would an apology even work? Elias didn’t think so. How much did Finn spend? 70 million in South Federation currency, plus at least 300 million to buy Atletico Madrid, costing a total of four to five hundred million. All for this matter, will he let it go easily? But if he doesn’t let it go easily, then what’s left of Elias’s career?
“Apologize? Would he even accept it?” Elias’s face was full of sorrow; he didn’t dare say that he had spit it out. Not apologize? At this point, can’t he play with him however he wishes? Can he outplay the opponent? Back then, he didn’t know who the opponent was, but now that he knows, he regrets it so much that his intestines are turning green. But regretting it now was useless, because the damage was already done.
But Elias had not yet made up his mind to apologize when things took a turn for the worse. Atletico Madrid’s manager directly sent him a text message, telling him to rest well. When the winter break was over, they would give him a long vacation of one to two months for him to rest and adjust his physical condition. Adjust his physical condition for the holiday? He is a professional football player! He is not a white-collar worker in an office!
When he received this message, Elias was so dazed that he could barely react. He knew better than anyone what this meant! It meant that it was no longer as simple as sitting on the bench!
When on the bench, he’d likely have had chances to play. Now he doesn’t even have a chance to play; what can he do after two months of long vacation? But when he comes back, will he have matches to play? If he doesn’t play matches, what’s he going to do? Although he has an annual salary of 7 million in South Federation currency, he can only receive it for up to 4 years.
What about after 4 years? Though the income of professional football players might not be low, their families still need to live, not to mention their ordinary expenses. With a salary of 7 million South Federation currency, it would be pretty good to be able to save 1 million per year. One million South Federation currency might seem like a lot, but it’s only 4 million after 4 years. After four years, how many skills will he have left?
If the opponent is ruthless, he won’t play any games for four years, who will remember him? Then he would have to leave Atletico Madrid, but his penalty clause with Atletico Madrid amounted to 150 million South Federation currency, where would he find 150 million South Federation currency?
If there’s no penalty, unless he’s willing to find a team willing to pay such a high penalty for him, but does such a team even exist? His fortune was only 40 million, 150 million? Even Maxwell Messi’s fortune wasn’t so high if it was not for Finn. This is impossible. As for other teams buying him, ha, unless they directly paid the penalty, Finn would definitely not agree to the team’s offer.
If the club didn’t agree, he could not be traded out. The result… When he thought about the potential outcomes, Elias felt his body go icy cold and his face was full of terror.
