The Ball at Your Feet

Yuan thought about it. After Zhao Yaning returned to England and saw that the contract extension was negotiated by him as a transfer, he would definitely be furious.

However, Zhang Yuan himself felt that he had a clear conscience: he did this for the good of Zhao Yaning, and he was not afraid of being blamed by Zhao Yaning. Liverpool started this matter, and he has no guilt. Moreover, he also prepared a rhetoric to deal with Zhao Yaning's censure.

"Torres' transfer has been set, and his weekly salary is 110,000. Gerrard's weekly salary has also risen to 110,000, and he has also completed his contract renewal. And your weekly salary... is still 90,000."

Zhang Yuan’s voice was very calm, but as he expected, he looked at Zhao Yaning’s God carefully and Zhao Yaning’s God when he was talking about this problem, and suddenly became extremely bad, "Why? What happened to the renewal?"

"The weekly salary we requested from Liverpool at the beginning was 135,000." Zhang Yuan continued. "This week's salary is not high. You know, Terry is 131,000. You are an offensive player. The core of the players, our request is reasonable-and this is our first offer. A slightly higher price is reasonable, right? But at the time, Liverpool said that the price was a bit high."

"Maybe the team really has no money?" Zhao Yaning is still talking for the team, but he is still a little unhappy-how can he still buckle and buckle so much after he changed his boss?

"Then we dropped to 120,000, which means that it was the same price as Ronaldinho from Manchester United." Zhang Yuan didn't mention how they negotiated during this process. In fact, he couldn't tell because of the whole process. , Very simple, Liverpool’s attitude is to directly reject several renewal requests, and then began to discuss with the agent, provide the agent with an intermediary fee, and let the agent persuade the player to transfer. Zhang Yuan didn't intend to talk about these things. Zhao Yaning knew that these things would not be acceptable. "However, Liverpool still disagrees. They still said that the price is a bit high."

"Go on." Zhao Yaning did not comment this time.

"Then they came up with a contract: They gave you a contract with a salary of 110,000 a week, equivalent to Gerrard and Torres."

"When will Torres be comparable to Gerrard and me... What did Stephen say?" Zhao Yaning snorted very dissatisfied. Torres may be a good player, but in Zhao Yaning's view, he is still someone who has never played for the team after all. How could he get such a high salary all at once?

"The team played very slippery. They first told Gerrard to renew the contract with 110,000 and also said Torres would consider a salary cut. Of course Gerrard went happily. After signing the contract, they told Gerrard. Torres is not going to cut his salary. As the captain, Gerrard cannot ask for a salary increase twice a year, and Torres just arrived, and it is not the captain’s job to ask people to cut their salary, so Gerrard naturally swallowed his words. ."

"This is really bullying the honest person..." Zhao Yaning gave a wry smile. The Americans played with such small tricks, which really made people look down on them, "You refused?"

"No, I still accepted the contract and expressed that I want to consider it. After all, you also know that the Triple Crown, you just won such an honor, the team is sure that you have to renew the contract, there will definitely be a low price. Moreover, Gerrard agreed to 110,000, the same salary as Torres, you want a higher salary than Gerrard, it is really not easy to say in the past, I still wanted to discuss it at the time."

Zhao Yaning frowned. Although he was dissatisfied, he still signaled Zhang Yuan to continue: He was dissatisfied with the team's approach, but Zhang Yuan's approach was correct. Whether you refuse or agree, you have to think about it and be sincere. Otherwise, just refuse it, it really doesn't give the team face.

"Then, at this time, all kinds of rumors began to appear in England, most of which said that they meant one thing: you are asking for a high salary that the team can't afford."

"They can't afford the high salary of 120,000?"

"The highest one out there is 170,000. I don't know who said it." Zhang Yuan continued. He knew that the calmer his tone, the better. What he said was angrily, maybe, it turned out to be Zhao Yaning. Consoling myself, now, what he wants is not for Zhao Yaning to stay sensible, "Then, there was a little trouble in the negotiation between me and Liverpool."

Zhao Yaning nodded. He wanted to get it. It must be the Liverpool team who said this. They hope that through this method, they want to force Zhao Yaning to renew the contract quickly and agree to the contract they provided. Such an approach is really bad. Done. In Morse's era, Morse used to communicate with the players and respect the players to complete the player's profit. Garcia, Zhao Yaning, they are very happy for Liverpool's approach, and they are also willing to make way for the development of the team. However, the current approach...maybe a football team. This approach is more formal, more common, and more commercial and professional, but it tears apart a little bit of warmth between people. Zhao Yaning was still very unhappy about the practice.

"Let's talk about the result, the process or something, forget it." Zhao Yaning waved his hand, he didn't want to listen to these nasty things.

"The result is, I guess you still want to stay, so, 110,000 will be 110,000." Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly, "but when I found the club, the club told me: because the delay was too long. Now that the club has no money, they can renew your contract, but they have to wait until next year."

"It's too deceiving!"

Zhao Yaning finally stood up, "In that case, I have become a layman, still a year?"

His anger made Zhang Yuan a little bit happy. He hinted a little bit that he would give in again, didn't he want to make Zhao Yaning angry?

Other things are easy to discuss, but doing so does not respect people. Zhang Yuan still remembers Batistuta, what a loyal man that is, Fiorentina is willing to stay with the team after relegation. But when he noticed that there are several people in the team who are paid more than his own, isn't it the same as saying that he wants to leave the team? Such a problem is a matter of respect, not just a question of money.

Zhao Yaning is a good-tempered person. If he comes up and says that the team is in trouble and needs players to make a profit, Zhao Yaning may still consider it. However, speaking step by step like this, it is completely arousing Zhao Yaning's anger.

"Then, I protested against this, but did not refuse. I was thinking that it would take a while and let them give you a contract immediately. But immediately, new rumors came out. Rumors Say, if you refuse to renew your contract, you have to ask for a high price..

"I haven't thought about this matter." Zhao Yaning groaned for a while before speaking, "I still can't believe this fact. Moreover, I also think that it is best to stay."

"However, now it is very likely that I can't stay." Zhang Yuan said.

"I don't like frequent transfers." Zhao Yaning said, "And...I always think that the current team is good and there is no need to transfer."

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, he understood Zhao Yaning's thoughts. In fact, isn't the Chinese media always promoting the benefits of loyalty? Growing up in China since childhood, Zhao Yaning was naturally affected by this propaganda. Some people think that being able to create a transfer fee record is a great thing. Some people think that being able to play in multiple leagues and win multiple league titles is a great thing, but for Zhao Yaning, he thinks, Being able to play for a team and be loyal to a team is a great thing. He is willing to stay, Zhang Yuan is very clear about this thought. This is the way he has received education since he was a child. Even if he is a famous bad-tempered person like Totti, his conduct in Chinese propaganda is much better than Ronal. Loyalty has always been a very important part of his education. Entering a giant team, naturally thinking of playing for this team, this is a normal idea.

But Zhang Yuan also knows very well that to be loyal to a team is nothing more than talking about it. How can it be so easy to really do it? Which foreign famous team of the giants can finally get a good death?

The three musketeers of Milan are all over the world, but in the end they are not going to each other? That is, Van Basten retired early and left the title of Milan star.

Juventus claims to be united, but how many foreigners can live well in Juventus? Davis, Zidane, and even Deschamps, who became the coach, are all quarreling with the team?

And even the Premier League has always boasted of its human touch, Manchester United's balloon stars, how many have a good death? Not to mention Arsenal, apart from Bergkamp, ​​are the birds all throwing themselves into the forest?

As for La Liga...Like La Liga, forget about loyalty. The two teams of Real Madrid and Barcelona have put the word loyalty to shame. Both Hierro and Guardiola can be sold, the former is because they scolded the chairman, and the latter left the team at the press conference, the chairman is not even willing to show his face. Even his own people are treated like this, let alone outsiders?

It is too difficult for foreigners to get the same treatment as their own players in the team. When foreign players play well, they can indeed be regarded as the backbone of the team, but when they play badly, what loyalty can they talk about? How many big-name foreign players have been discarded by the team as **** because of high wages after their status has declined? Not everyone is qualified to talk about loyalty.

"Ning Zi, it is good to have a loyal idea, but we can't hang on a tree stupidly, right." Zhang Yuan thought this way, but he didn't try to persuade Zhao Yaning. He knew that he Zhao Yaning can’t listen to these justifiable claims of infidelity. From elementary school, it’s not so easy to change, “Now, Liverpool’s side has shown this thought, and we can’t swallow it too much. We have to consider the future. , Are you right?"

"Have you already considered it?" Zhao Yaning asked directly back. He could hear that Zhang Yuan's tone was not quite right when he was speaking. He is unwilling to expose him. After all, the team has betrayed himself, and he doesn't want to fall out with Zhang Yuan. As long as Zhang Yuan can give him a reasonable explanation to prove that he is really thinking about himself, he doesn't care about the others.

"Yes, this summer, I really have been running to contact you. I can't let you suffer." Zhang Yuan confessed, "If they are unkind, we can be unrighteous. This is not our first choice. , If you have the abilities, you think about not renewing the contract, and you are going to be a bitch. That is my greed for money, my bastard. However, we are willing to renew the contract, and we have to bear it, but they do not agree. Let us also Even if it’s benevolence and righteousness. If they want to sell you and you are stupid and don’t go anywhere, then you are a stupid. If I’m still stupid and don’t want to go out, then I, the agent, would be a failure. So, after I figured out their ideas, I took the money they gave and helped you contact the team."

"I understand this." Zhao Yaning nodded. What he asked for was very simple. Zhang Yuan wanted money, it was not a big deal, as long as he really thought for himself, "Money is not the point, it is important."

"I know." Zhang Yuan said. He knew what Zhao Yaning cared about. "They are not doing this thing honestly. If you don't tell you, they have to put the blame on you. It's really wicked. However, if they don’t do this, I’m afraid they won’t be able to sell you. Now Liverpool fans are pampering you, or do they ruin your reputation, how can they sell? They are also afraid of being smashed by the Liverpool fans. That's it. First make your reputation foul, then sell you, claiming that this is a manifestation of the team's integrity and unyielding, and then talk about it in the 1980s, they will definitely not lose face of."

"What does this have to do with the 80s?"

"Don't you know? The gang of stars in the 80s ~www.ltnovel.com~ have also started to work." Zhang Yuan sneered, "They think Liverpool is too Spanish now, they want Reinvigorating the flag of England. And they even said: If Houllier hadn't driven away the younger generation, maybe Liverpool would have achieved even better."

These words made Zhao Yaning change suddenly, "How long has English football been out of date, don't they know? It sounds like a jerk?"

"People in the 1980s, expect them to keep up with the times? Not everyone is Ferguson, and even if Ferguson, how much has lost in order to keep up with the times? Liverpool, these famous lodges, sitting in their own homes for many years, is it still Counting on coaching experience and insight to rise up?" Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly, "They are too foolish, but they are indeed the people that fans like. These two Americans obviously know who can use them. They are better than prestige. But you, but there is someone better than you. Some time ago, Liverpool celebrities urged you to renew your contract. Also, someone mentioned: Even if you don’t renew, it doesn’t matter. Liverpool sold Keegan back then, it’s still the world. the first."

These things are not lie: as soon as they arrived in Liverpool, they wanted to take power with great fanfare, the two Liverpool bosses still encountered a lot of resistance. But although they don't understand football, they know how to manage it. They first drew the team manager Parry to the board of directors and completed the first drew. Then, they handed over the youth training to Dalglish to manage, appoint the old players to come out, and compete with the current management for power- Benitez was in Liverpool, and relied on the youth training system rebuilt by digging talents from Barcelona and other teams, and was assigned to the old players..
