Although it is said that a football player can become wiser and make better real-time decisions as they age and gain experience on the field, these advantages cannot overcome a significant biological disadvantage.
That is the decline of physical functions. Reduced running speed and a decrease in various physical attributes are fatal to any sport.
It is no secret that Real Madrid hopes to bring in new players to create a brand-new Real Madrid, which indeed excited Cao Baming for a period of time a couple of years ago.
Real Madrid has obtained a large sum of new funds to splurge, but so far, their plan execution has not yielded any satisfactory results!
Not only did they fail to acquire Foden and Mbappé as originally planned, but even Ronaldo is still being delayed. The only successful acquisitions have been some insignificant midfielders.
The additions of Kaká and Carlos have also not brought about a qualitative improvement in results.
Cao Baming is already disappointed. Since Real Madrid lacks the ability to build a Super Galáctico, he will do it himself.
In some time, Carlos will be brought under his wing, and even Modrić and Gvardiol might be acquired. Ronaldo, who was initially only verbally agreed upon, will naturally join Manchester United.
Ronaldo is precisely the front-line core that the new Manchester United needs the most!
Isn't this their own fault? They were given a chance but couldn't seize it!
Can Real Madrid not see this future possibility? Of course, they can, but they are helpless. Not only will Cao Baming be out of reach, but they might even lose more in the future!
The reactions of other teams that were envious of Cao Baming, upon learning that he eventually joined Nottingham Forest, were surprisingly consistent!
"Nottingham what? Forest? What kind of amateur team is that?!"
"Is this a joke or fake news? Hurry up and provide proof!"
However, the things they didn't want to believe quickly materialized as evidence. This happened to be the day Cao Baming came to the club for photos. Wearing Nottingham Forest's red home jersey, Cao Baming looked radiant in the pictures.
This was also the first time the Nottingham Forest club players had the opportunity to interact with Cao Baming so closely. Of course, such interaction on the field as opponents was entirely incomparable.
Every one of them was very excited, which could be seen from the expressions on their faces in the group photos.
As soon as Cao Baming's photos were released, they instantly sparked widespread discussion among fans, and even a large group of new fangirls emerged.
"So handsome! As expected, the most handsome player ever! He looks good in whatever he wears!!"
"Has anyone noticed that Cao Baming's home jerseys are all red! Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and even for the Tang Kingdom national team in the World Cup!"
"Is it possible that there's an even redder jersey! The Manchester United he just bought! It all adds up!"
"Could it be that he joined Nottingham Forest because of the jersey color??"
"Don't talk nonsense, upstairs, be careful that all the clubs in the top five leagues design their home jerseys to be bright red next season!"
While discussing, the fans were already feeling a sense of dread about the future. Is it really like this, or is it just a joke?
Cao Baming himself didn't think that much about it. When he saw these comments, his eyes suddenly lit up.
At this moment, the photos were finished being taken and uploaded to the internet. Cao Baming took this opportunity to get acquainted with the other members of the team.
Although the management said so, Cao Baming did not stay there for too long and did not even set foot on the field.
For a big shot like Cao Baming, trials and the like were unnecessary.
If he wanted to leave, no one could stop him. The team had already won too much and was overjoyed. As the owner of the team, he had been celebrating for a whole week, and his excitement had not yet subsided.
With a turn of his back, he left a crowd of envious gazes. At this moment, they wouldn't have any negative thoughts because they were not yet familiar with the person before them, but they felt he was at an unreachable height, an invisible distance.
The photos caused an explosive effect on the internet. The club's top management once again grinned from ear to ear. With this effect, the club's fan base has grown nearly a hundredfold in just a few days!
The number of followers of the official account was the most direct manifestation. These were all die-hard fans who would follow. In fact, they clearly understood that most of these new fans were brought in by Cao Baming.
They might have been Arsenal fans before, but now, with Cao Baming's transfer, they have become Nottingham Forest fans!
At this moment, one only needs to look at the number of fans lost from Arsenal's official account. As expected, upon opening it, one would see a significant drop in followers. Moreover, the comments under every latest post were essentially all complaints.
Fans have never held back with their words; this has always been the case, unchanging through the ages.
With so many fans paying attention, the owner of Nottingham Forest, while happy with the increasingly heated public opinion and the growing mentions of Nottingham Forest's name, was already contemplating how to make money.
The owner of a team is different from the head coach. The owner and his economic team are mainly in the business of economics. When they see a golden money pot placed before them, they are bound to be tempted. Cao Baming is a walking golden money pot. With him at the club, making money is much easier than before!
It's like buying a gold mine for the price of one dollar. Advertising, jerseys, merchandise, and commercial partnerships can all be initiated! In the future, where will the team lack money?
Although he knew that doing so was a bit unethical. The person essentially joined his team without salary, and yet he was already thinking of making money using his name. It definitely seemed improper.
Furthermore, this is not a small amount of money. If handled well during this wave of popularity, it could directly bring in hundreds of millions! This is almost equivalent to Cao Baming's personal transfer fee!
However, on second thought, while hundreds of millions are a huge sum for him, it might not be for Cao Baming!
Thinking this way, it seems justifiable. He probably wouldn't mind.
