Chapter 44 World Cup All-Star Lineup
Ferguson really thought the other party was crazy!
For a 17-year-old boy, a young man who has only played professional football for less than two years, how can that club in the eastern country dare to propose a price of 1000 million pounds?Don't they know what such a number is?Or are they really crazy?

You know, the introduction of Diego Forlan, who has already played well in the Argentine League, only cost 700 million pounds!

"How dare they?" Ferguson said angrily to the person in charge who was sent by the club to Jiangzhou, China to discuss the transfer with Jinfan Club.

The person in charge smiled wryly: "Sir, of course they dare, because that kid has just entered the 16-man All-Star lineup officially announced by the World Cup!"

"What?" Ferguson was stunned.

The person in charge said again: "Sir, I said that kid has entered the 16-man All-Star lineup for the World Cup announced by FIFA!"

Ferguson is not deaf. For the first time, he was just too shocked to believe it.

Although Yin Jun's name was included in the 33-man All-Star list for the World Cup previously announced by FIFA, many people do not believe that Yin Jun can really be selected for the 16-man All-Star list.

………………

Ferguson quickly hung up the phone to confirm the news.

Soon, he found the just-announced news on FIFA's official website.

在韩日当地时间6月28日中午，格林尼治时间6月28日凌晨，国际足联公布了2002韩日世界杯全明星队的名单。

The World Cup All-Star team was selected by a 10-member FIFA judging panel headed by former Czechoslovakia coach Vengros. When it comes to the only three Asian players on the list, Yin Jun from the Chinese team and Yin Jun from the Korean team When Hong Myung-bo and Yoo Sang-chul were on the stage, Wen Gross said: "Eun Jun's selection is due to his almost perfect individual performance, which makes it impossible for us to ignore him. The selection of the two Korean players is due to the outstanding team performance of the Korean team. They all play a vital role in the South Korean team, one is the captain of the field and the other is the core of the midfield. The selection of all three of them is well-deserved."

At the same time, Wen Gross also said that the list originally only considered players entering the top 16 teams, but the appearance of Yin Jun made the judging panel change this decision, because Yin Jun's performance was impeccable.

And Yin Jun is also the only non-knockout team player selected to the 16-man All-Star squad.

The 16-man All-Star roster includes Kahn and Rustu as goalkeepers, Roberto Carlos, Campbell, Hierro, Hong Myung-boo and Alpe as defenders, Yin Jun, Ballack and Rivaldo as midfielders. , Ronaldinho and Yoo Sang-chul, and Ronaldo, Diouf, Hassan and Klose at the forward position.

The top four teams became the big winners in this list, with 12 people selected.England's defender Campbell, Spain's defender Hierro and Senegal's striker Diouf have become representatives of other knockout teams, while Yin Jun is the only seedling of the non-knockout team.

In addition, FIFA will also announce the best team of 11 people for this World Cup, which will be produced from the All-Star 16-man list.

However, this 11-man best lineup will not be released until the World Cup is completely over.

………………

Seeing this news, Ferguson was helpless.Because even he thought it was reasonable for Jiangzhou Jinfan to offer Yin Jun 1000 million pounds.

As the FIFA judging panel said, Yin Jun's performance in this World Cup cannot be ignored, even if the Chinese team finally stopped in the group stage.

In fact, Ferguson felt that the luck of the Chinese team was a little bit worse, because they were assigned to a group that could be called a death group, and two top four teams finally appeared in the group.

In addition, the weak overall strength of the Chinese team has dragged down Yin Jun, but if the overall strength of the Chinese team is slightly stronger, the Chinese team may not even fail to enter the knockout round.

However, even in the face of the death group, even in the face of the weak overall strength of the team, Yin Jun still brought the Chinese team into the knockout stage almost by himself.

With 3 goals and 5 assist in 1 games, this performance cannot be ignored by FIFA, which changed the original judging rules and made an exception to allow Yin Jun to enter the 16-man All-Star list!
As far as this World Cup is concerned, Yin Jun is definitely a well-deserved star, it has nothing to do with age or country!

Ferguson also approves of this list, but it does not mean that he can make up his mind to spend 1000 million pounds to bring Yin Jun to the UK and Manchester United.

Now in 2002, a signing at the level of 1000 million pounds is definitely a blockbuster signing.Because even if Zidane moved to Real Madrid last summer, it only cost Real Madrid about 4300 million pounds!

………………

Today's British pound is still very valuable. If 1000 million pounds are converted into US dollars, it will be as high as 1570 million, and if converted into RMB, it will be nearly 1.3 million!

As for the euro, it has just become the legal currency of the countries in the euro zone, and there are still great doubts about it in the international community. Many countries have not yet recognized the status of the euro.

Although Yin Jun performed very well during the World Cup, he was too young and his career was too short, only playing for one and a half years.Although the overall performance is very good, it is still not enough to convince Ferguson to pay a huge sum of 1000 million pounds to sign Yin Jun from the small transfer fee.

However, after carefully understanding Yin Jun's performance, Ferguson was really reluctant to give up Yin Jun.He wanted to send someone to contact Yin Jun first, to understand Yin Jun's thoughts, and see if he could use Yin Jun to put pressure on Jiangzhou Jinfan to lower his psychological expectations.

According to Ferguson's understanding, after Jiangzhou Jinfan raised Yin Jun's offer from 500 million pounds to 1000 million pounds, many clubs, including Arsenal, Ajax and Benfica, have chosen to give up.That miser Arsene, after seeing Jiangzhou Jinfan Club put up a sky-high price of 1000 million pounds, slipped away faster than a rabbit.

At present, Manchester United and Real Madrid are left, and they have not clearly expressed their abandonment.

For Real Madrid, Florentino is currently implementing a superstar policy. To put it bluntly, this policy is to only buy expensive ones, not the right ones.Yin Jun's reputation has soared rapidly, indicating that his value has also increased, which invisibly fits Florentino's policy.

Although the current Yin Jun is not yet a superstar, he is already a star with a strong reputation all over the world.

Coupled with the Chinese market behind Yin Jun and Yin Jun's good personal image, Florentino is naturally more and more interested in him.
