With maxed-out heading ability from the start, I became the king of Arsenal.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Yu snorted coldly.

Why would this Brit so presumptuously assume he wants to become a British citizen?

Haven't there been too many Chinese people in the UK crying and begging for residency before?

The guy I just talked to about citizenship was as casual as asking me "where to eat lunch tomorrow."

But he could not be a second-class citizen in Britain. Chinese people in Europe and America had virtually no upward mobility; the highest they could achieve was a senior technician.

Many people in China now believe that the air in Europe and America smells sweet, and that coming to these places guarantees a bright future.

But if you're not a highly skilled individual, becoming a citizen is like being chained up; you're a real dog.

Many people don't understand why others will only respect a country if it is powerful.

Regardless of what others think, Sun Yu will never change his nationality.

The whole thing about Britain forming an Olympic team is hilarious; it looks impressive on the surface, but it's actually a complete mess.

In 1948, the British registered four football associations with FIFA in one go: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

The four football associations developed independently, but as bureaucratic ties deepened, the conflicts among them grew, eventually leading to irreconcilable differences.

Coupled with the grudges accumulated in football matches, the matches between these four football associations registered in the UK have become derbies.

More than half a century has passed since four football associations joined FIFA, and each association has its own football system.

Leagues, cup competitions, youth training systems, broadcast revenue sharing, ticket sales, and bonuses for the association's representative team participating in various competitions.

The structure, management, resources, and personnel positions of the Chinese Football Association...

Once these things are created, they become intangible assets that cannot be touched by others.

Since the British themselves foolishly registered four separate accounts, they have to bear the consequences of not being able to combine them.

It's important to understand that the four football associations are not evenly matched in terms of power, and the other three smaller football associations are afraid of the FA messing with them.

The English Premier League has now become the most successful commercial league in the world, supported by 11 other leagues. The financial resources of this league are enough to make the other three football associations tremble with fear.

The strongest resistance at the football level came from the Scottish Football Association. It's worth noting that the Scottish Premiership is no weak league, and the Scottish national team can qualify for major international tournaments every now and then.

They fear that if there is a precedent for joint teams, FIFA and UEFA could use that precedent to force the four football associations to merge and directly strip them of their right to participate, which is unacceptable.

Besides rights and eligibility to participate in competitions, the ownership of youth training players is also a matter of great concern to the other three football associations.

If the British men's football team does win the Olympic gold medal, the Football Association, which has the most players, will definitely reap the rewards.

If the other three promising young players from the Football Association are "corrupted" by the English football system and join the England team, later players will follow suit.

If a player like Giggs or Bale emerges from the Scottish or Northern Irish teams, wouldn't they be recruited by the England team as soon as they show their talent?

Finally, there is a strong cultural divide in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, which extends even beyond football.

Sun Yu recalls that then-FIFA President Blatter promised that the four football associations would maintain the existing structure, and the British Olympic team agreed to only form a joint team on home soil once, which was why the Scottish Football Association reluctantly agreed.

However, they only signed the contract and did not allow any Scottish players to be called up; Northern Ireland simply did not participate in any Olympic men's football team formation.

In this way, the British Olympic men's football team is actually a joint team of English and Welsh players.

The London Olympics and the European Championship conflicted in timing, and the English Football Association was worried that it would not be able to assemble a competitive team, so it was scouting for eligible players.

Sun Yu was an eligible player for the men's football Olympics at that time, and he had an outstanding performance during this period, so he immediately came into the sights of the English Football Association.

But Sun Yu's attitude was also clear: he wouldn't go!

First of all, he is a native Premier League player, so there is no need to worry about his work permit.

Secondly, with the system at his disposal, he will definitely not lack money in the future.

Money will simply be a byproduct of his career, and he will certainly have plenty of it.

In this situation, he is an unselectable being, and he can live the life he wants.

Therefore, even the FA's CEO has no deterrent effect on him.

He is not a big shot, just an ordinary person.

But to his surprise, the man named Alex Horn actually came to Stoke City Football Club in person.

His appearance made Pulis somewhat uneasy. When Alex Horn said he would talk to Sun Yu after training, Pulis immediately gave Sun Yu a day off.

In the conference room, sitting in front of Sun Yu was a man in his fifties or sixties, dressed in a sharp suit.

"Mr. Horn, please forgive me for hanging up the phone yesterday. The English media are capable of anything, and I don't want to be made a fool of."

The English media is a bunch of lunatics who will stop at nothing to get exclusive information.

Putting aside everything else, two England managers have been "killed" by the English media through entrapment tactics.

Alex Horn naturally understood, and he smiled and nodded: "That shows you are a cautious person, which is why I am here today on behalf of the British Olympic Committee and the Football Association to have a progressive conversation with you."

The old man spoke in official jargon, but Sun Yu still managed to understand the whole story from his words.

As the leading organization for the British Olympic men's football team, the Football Association (FA) wants Gareth Bale and several Welsh players to participate.

The Welsh Football Association said there was no problem, but they indicated that if the Welsh team qualified for the European Championship, their players would definitely prioritize the European Championship.

The 2012 European Championship qualifiers have begun, with England, Wales, Switzerland, Montenegro and Bulgaria drawn into Group G.

Apart from England, the matches between Wales and other teams in this group were like brawls between thugs; whoever could kill whom depended entirely on courage.

If they can play well, they have a real chance to qualify for the European Championship finals as one of the best second-placed teams.

Even just making it to the playoffs would be a great thing.

Logically, the poor performance of the Wells team should be a good thing for the formation of the Olympic team.

However, England and Wales are intertwined, with each region having elements of the other.

Therefore, the FA still wants to give Wales some benefits, as the weakest position on this Wales team is the center forward.

Their £130,000 main striker, Morrison, was promoted to the Championship with Millwall last season and finally got to experience the Championship at the age of 27.

His skill level is far inferior to that of Gareth Harper, which gives you an idea of ​​how weak the Wells team's center position is.

The English Football Association plans to have Sun Yu play for Wales after he becomes a British citizen.

This way, Sun Yu can both ensure the attacking strength of the British Olympic men's football team and enhance the strength of the Welsh team.

After all, England's attacking line doesn't need a center forward like Sun Yu, so it's better to do what's best for them.

In return, the Olympic Organizing Committee paid Sun Yu £450 million from the athletes' special fund.

And it's £450 million after tax!

Although not explicitly stated, the deep, magnetic voice of the elderly man hinted that the head coach of the British Olympic men's football team is very likely to be Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Sun Yu skipped the head coach part and started thinking about the £450 million.

For a young person earning £4000 a week, that amount of money is very tempting.

So he asked a crucial question: "Based on what standard was the £450 million figure calculated?"

Alex Horn was taken aback; he hadn't expected Sun Yu's idea to be so bizarre: "Based on your current market value, you can think of it as us paying you a transfer fee, haha."

The old man subconsciously raised his head, displaying a sense of pride as a Briton.

Sun Yu nodded happily: "If my net worth becomes £2000 million when I become a British citizen, will you pay me £2000 million?"

[Alex Horn's armor penetration +20]

The old man smiled faintly: "Theoretically, that's true, but if your value declines, we will still pay you a fee equivalent to your value."

fart!

That's blatant lying.

What?! Ferguson coaching the England national team?!

What do you mean by paying a transfer fee? When you're paying the fee, you might have to squeeze out two or three more cents.

Sun Yu smiled and nodded: "I need time to think about it. If my value drops by then, it'll save you some money, right?"
