After talking to Real Madrid, Sun Yue led the team to Barcelona without stopping.
Although Russell and Yang Huan had some conflicts in their personal relationship, the most important thing was Russell's envy and jealousy.
But from the club's perspective, Russell still strongly supports Barcelona's participation in the International Champions Cup.
Especially when Miracle Media promised to give them the first appearance fee, Russell agreed without hesitation.
Four warm-up matches, the opponents are strong and the schedule is reasonable.
As long as the preparations are good, who would refuse?
Besides, you can still get back 12 million euros in income, so you would be a fool to refuse it.
With the two shining gems of Real Madrid and Barcelona, plus the new Champions League champion Bayern Munich and the new Europa League champion Southampton, the weight of the first International Champions Cup is far greater than that of the past two North American editions of RS.
Invitational Tournament.
Whether it is compared from the overall strength of the team or the dazzling star power, it is far superior to Yang Huan is quite satisfied with Sun Yue's gains from this trip to Spain.
After taking care of Real Madrid and Barcelona, plus Juventus, Southampton, Bayern Munich and Arsenal, there will be a total of six teams, and the foundation of this competition has been laid.
For the remaining two places, Yang Huan is considering choosing between Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.
Manchester United and Chelsea still have quite good influence in the United States.
After all, they are both teams where Peter Kenyon has been.
Mr.
Baldhead is quite good at operating the North American market.
But if the other party's requirements are too high, then change someone decisively.
Whether it is Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Inter Milan and Roma in Serie A, or Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, they are all very good targets.
After all, this is only the first session As long as the event is successfully run and the promotion is effective, we will be afraid that these wealthy teams will not come to participate in the future.
I'm afraid they will have to come to your door one by one eagerly, begging to participate.
To strike iron, you must be tough yourself, that’s the truth But what surprised Yang Huan was that Sun Yue brought back another piece of news.
"What Stroman Neymar" Yang Huan was a little unbelievable.
"You said that Florentino and Russell both asked about Stroman and Neymar" Sun Yue couldn't help but nod, "Yes, I can see that they are full of interest in Stroman and Neymar.
That can't be false."
Yang Huan couldn't help but find it funny.
I didn’t realize it, but this Dutchman is still a treasure.
It's a bit interesting to have both Barcelona and Real Madrid competing for people.
As for Neymar, Yang Huan is not surprised at all.
The Brazilian is well-known in football circles for his popularity, and he can be called the number one golden boy in football today.
Let me ask you, who doesn’t want to have Neymar in today’s football world?
The problem is, Southampton have to be persuaded to let him go.
"Frankly speaking, I'm not surprised that Barcelona wants Stroman, because Barcelona has always had the habit and gene of bringing in Dutch players, but I'm a little surprised that even Real Madrid wants Stroman."
Barcelona's tactical system was created by the Dutch, from Cruyff to Van Gaal to Rijkaard.
Therefore, it is normal that Barcelona loves Dutch players.
But Real Madrid has always been incompatible with Dutch players.
No matter Sneijder, Van der Vaart or Robben, they failed to win recognition in Real Madrid.
Instead, they all shined after leaving the team.
Real Madrid still wants Stroman at this time "Who knows that there are so few midfielders like Stroman in the current transfer market?"
Sun Yue said with a wry smile.
Yang Huan burst out laughing after hearing this.
Modric, who was originally even better than Stroman, is the darling of the transfer market.
But now, the Croats have been won by Southampton in advance, so naturally it’s time for Stroman to play the leading role.
If you think about it carefully, Real Madrid really needs a player like Stroman who can organize and defend to share the pressure of midfield core Xavi Alonso.
And Stroman is indeed the type of midfielder Mourinho loves.
"Spread the news to me.

Stroman is not for sale."
Yang Huan laughed.
What is not for sale?
It means that your bid is not high enough It’s not a sky-high price, why are you so embarrassed to come and buy my items that are not for sale?
Get out of here "Inform Stroman's agent and discuss the transfer after the European Cup."
Of course Sun Yue understood what Master Huan meant.
Since so many teams are trying to grab Stroman, why bother?
If Stroman performs well in the European Cup, his value will definitely skyrocket.
Even if the performance is sluggish, what does it matter?
At worst, Southampton won’t sell it.
Anyway, Yang Huan is not very happy to sell Stroman.
This also corresponds to the saying, if you have no desire, you will be strong.
"Mr.
Gill, this is the latest fax sent by rs company for the North American Invitational Tournament in late July."
In his office at Old Trafford, David Gill took a document from his assistant.
After a cursory glance, he frowned and said, "The appearance fee is only two million euros."
With that said, David Gill threw the documents in his hand on the table, looking a little dissatisfied.
"The price offered by Miracle Media was three million.
It was clearly marked, so they only gave two million."
The assistant stood there and smiled slightly: "So, rs company failed to invite the top team this time."
"Oh" David Gill raised his head and looked at the assistant.
"According to the information I have received, the teams currently confirmed to participate in the North American Invitational Tournament are Toronto FC, Seattle Sounders, Los Angeles Galaxy and Washington D.C.
United, all of which are Major League Soccer teams."
David Gill couldn't help but turned around, "Isn't this still the same as last year?"
Although last year’s North American Invitational Tournament included strong European teams such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, Juventus and Barcelona, who were the other opponents?
America West, America East, America and Guadalajara of the Mexican League.
It is undeniable that these teams either have home field advantage or are not bad at quality.
But the problem is, there is no commercial appeal.
Who is willing to pay a high price for a ticket to watch a game of a team whose name is completely unpronounceable?
Why is FIFA’s Club World Championship not as good as the UEFA Champions League?
Is this something unknown?
The assistant smiled bitterly: "So far this year, the only confirmed foreign team is Santos Laguna of the Mexican League."
"Is it interesting?"
David Gill sneered and asked.
In recent years, the broadcast rights of the Premier League in North America have become more and more popular, especially as the European giants come to the United States to play commercial games every summer.
The football desert of the United States has gradually turned into a football paradise.
But this has been done for two years, why is RS Company still so petty?
Thinking of this, David Gill couldn't help but look at another fax document that he put aside on the table.
Relatively speaking, Miracle Media appears to be more courageous.
They invite only the top teams.
Those who can serve as assistants are all masters who are good at observing words and emotions.
As soon as I saw David Gill glance at Miracle Media's documents, I knew something.
"Mr.
Gill, I heard from Spanish newspapers Marca and AS that both Real Madrid and Barcelona have accepted the invitation."
David Gill nodded.

In terms of commercial value, Manchester United's influence in North America is not inferior to that of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
In other words, if Manchester United accepts the invitation, the appearance fee will definitely be the first level.
Three million euros, not counting bonuses for four games, more than ten million euros, a pretty high income.
Sometimes, David Gill even wonders if Yang Huan is crazy.
Otherwise, why would you give such a high appearance fee?
But people have also said that the right to participate in five competitions was signed in one go.
It was written in black and white.
How could it be fake?
"Sir Alex Ferguson called again today to urge us to finalize preparations for the summer as soon as possible so that he can prepare early."
The assistant said this and looked at David Gill in front of him, "What should we do now?"
David Gill did not answer immediately, but sighed deeply.
"The Chinese have a saying, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
As everyone knows, if you stay in a flock of chickens for a long time, even if you are a phoenix, you will lose its feathers and become a chicken.
But a chicken stays in a flock of phoenixes for a long time.
Well, maybe if there is a chance, it will become more delicate than the phoenix."
The assistant was stunned.
Why was his boss talking strangely today?
But from the perspective of commercial value, this is indeed the case.
"Mr.
Gil, what do you mean?"
"Go, make a call to Miracle Media and tell them that we have decided to participate in the International Champions Cup."
The assistant was shocked and made a decision.
But before he could react, David Gill said again.
"Call Peter Kenyon again and tell him that I hope to find an opportunity to meet him in the next two days.
The location will be Southampton."
The assistant was even more surprised, "Go in person" "Yes, go in person"
After David Gill finished speaking, he sighed deeply and waved to his assistant, indicating that he could go out.
After the assistant closed the door, David Gill closed his eyes and murmured to himself.
"I didn't expect that I still have to take the initiative to come to the door."
There will never be clearly defined enemies and friends in this world, only eternal interests.
European giants have been developing the North American football market for a long time.
Ever since superstars such as Beckham and Henry switched to the American Major League, and then the United States has performed well in international competitions in recent years, it has ignited the American people's enthusiasm for football.
According to previous media reports, among people under the age of 40 in the United States, football is the second most popular sport in the United States after rugby.
It's embarrassing to say that among the under-25 age group, the most popular European teams are Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid and Messi's Barcelona.
But which team is ranked third?
Not Manchester United, nor Bayern Munich, nor AC Milan and Inter Milan.
But Southampton This is a very outrageous survey result and has even caused countless controversies, but it is fact The reason is that the Internet When Yoona Lin wore Southampton's jersey and posted a few photos on WeChat, it triggered a stir in the American media, which actually caused Southampton's jersey to be sold out.
This is so crazy, so unreasonable However, this trend is gradually becoming mainstream Don't believe it Just look at how popular Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and others are on social networks.
You will really find that this world is beyond your imagination David Gill has to admit that he is not as good as Yang Huan and Peter Kenyon in terms of business sense and keeping pace with the times, which directly causes Manchester United to lag behind teams such as Southampton and Real Madrid in this aspect.
But now, he had to keep up quickly.
Don’t seek to surpass, but at least keep up.
There is a saying that goes well: Those who cannot keep up with the times will be eliminated by the times:
