In fact, ”Zidane + Balajana” is a very cost-effective solution, and it reflects Lord Buddha’s approach to building a team.

Spend money wisely!

No matter the sport, the most popular and star-studded figures are always the attacking superstars!

To professional fans, defensive superstars are equally famous and impactful.

But to the general public, attacking superstars are the real attraction.

Their competitive value may be comparable, but their commercial value is a thousand times greater.

That’s why Real Madrid has never hesitated to invest in forward superstars.

They often make big investments in attacking midfielders too.

All of Real Madrid’s four Mr. Golden Ball winners are front-line superstars.

Excluding die-hard fans, ninety percent of Real Madrid’s followers are drawn to these attacking stars.

The commercial value of the large group of players in the defense can be said to be a bonus, not much worth developing.

That’s from Real Madrid’s perspective.

To ordinary folks, any Real Madrid player’s commercial value is immense. Earning millions annually from advertisements is as easy as eating and drinking.

Different scale, different descriptions.

Lord Buddha might have added many qualifiers to ”Balajana”, making him sound quite extraordinary and meaningful.

But the core factor is still affordability.

Homegrown talent is cheap!

No transfer fee required, and wages can be kept low.

The team can also take the moral high ground to suppress player salary hikes or PUA players from youth, instilling team-oriented thinking, making them willingly forgo high salary requests.

Using Balajana as a benchmark for setting the salary treatment of defenders and defensive midfielders.

No defensive players can hope for a breakthrough in wages.

While the demands of players like ”Zidane” can be fully met.

As long as you are similar to Zidane.

This proposal is essentially a form of PUA too.

If you’re Zidane, you get Zidane’s salary, if not, don’t complain. There’s no discussion of the actual value of your work, shifting negotiation to comparisons.

This approach isn’t clever but has enslaved many people for a long time.

Until the age of competition arrived, awakening generations of the eighties, nineties, and 2000s.

I may not be as skilled or productive as old staff, but that’s not a reason to pay me a 2,000 internship or 3,000 formal wage.

What I’m doing is worth more than 5,000 on its own!

F*ck!

...

”We meet again,” Madeira generously shook Lu Yang’s hand in the player tunnel, ”But this time, I won.”

This was referring to the European Cup.

Madeira was indeed envious of Lu Yang.

Madeira has a Champions League trophy.

But the European Cup... not yet.

For most superstar-level players, the European Cup is more cherished than the Champions League.

The Champions League happens every year, but the European Cup only once every four years.

Only a minority of exceptional players, like Lu Yang, can win the trophy as core players in their first European Cup.

Too blessed by heaven!

Thus, heaven compensates elsewhere too.

Zidane from France Team, Madeira from Portugal Team, the Spanish base mainly supplied by Real Madrid.

This year’s Champions League is heaven’s redemption for Italy’s dramatic European Cup victory.

”The match hasn’t started yet,” Lu Yang replied.

”The match is actually over.” After speaking, Madeira pulled the ball boy and stepped onto the field first.

Bernabéu Stadium resounded with countless cheers, as if celebrating Real Madrid’s advancement to the finals.

Among Real Madrid’s players, the blond Hector, right-back Sanchis, and Joseph all looked at Lu Yang with less-than-friendly eyes.

The reason, well, those who understand understand.

Yet today, the one who blew the attack horn for San Remo, the recovered Bai Zhami, became Sanchis’s outlet of anger.

Bam!

San Remo attempted an opening attack.

But just as Bai Zhami gained speed, Sanchis executed a beautiful interception, not only stealing the football but sending Bai Zhami tumbling.

Roar!

The skies above Bernabéu resounded with crazy cheers.

They were cheering for Sanchis.

”This is Bernabéu, rookie!” Sanchis, not usually showy, exuded the enthusiasm of a host in this atmosphere.

”We know, we’re here to conquer this place,” Lu Yang approached, having swapped positions with Talista, closest to Bai Zhami.

”Humph!” Sanchis snorted coldly.

”Just break through, he fears your speed, that’s why he took you down!” Lu Yang helped Bai Zhami rise, ”The main referee will adopt a relatively strict penalty standard, seize this opportunity.”

Bai Zhami nodded.

The impact of the Bayern vs. Chelsea match has already manifested in this game.

UEFA has urgently switched to an even more authoritative golden whistle-level main referee to officiate this match.

For San Remo, this is the best match condition available.

Though liberal conditions also benefit Real Madrid stars, Lu Yang does not fear, he has resolved himself.

Even though it’s just the first minute of the match, but...

”Ding! You used the random Moment Card, received the Neymar Moment Card, for 2017.3.8!”

A silhouette shattered in Lu Yang’s mind.

At this moment, his understanding of fancy football has reached an alarming level.
