Chapter 91: The Goalkeeper
Today's world football is still a very old way of signing, a player, after signing a contract with the team, belongs to the team.
Even if the contract period has passed, you cannot sign with another team. Even if the player is unemployed and wants to join another team, he must pay the transfer fee to the original team.
This is as deep as the sea when you enter the Houmen, and there is no more freedom day.
After the broadcast of the player's income spread on television, there was a significant increase, and the salary of an ordinary player exceeded that of the president.
The current number one star of the club is Afurt from Belgrade, who earns 120,000 Swiss francs a year, which is a veritable high salary.
Of course, this is only relative, and his salary is not worth mentioning compared to the world stars.
However, because of the backwardness of the media, the closure of transfers, and the small influence of advertising, the income of stars is not much different from that of ordinary people.
It wasn't until the 90s, especially after the Boseman Act of '95, that players were free to transfer after the contract period, and players' salaries soared again.
Telling the players that they can earn more than 10 million in the future is probably a joke because 99 percent of the clubs are worth less than 10 million today.
Moreover, Swiss clubs are very similar to German clubs, and they are generally self-financing and rationally teamed.
In addition, the Swiss league is originally a second-tier league in Europe, which cannot be compared with the five major leagues at all, and the income of players is within a reasonable range.
The current manager and coach of the team are former Swiss players, and they are also Swiss.
Manager Flynn is very optimistic about Jonas, and since Jonas was sixteen years old, he has been tricking Jonas to join the team and become a full-fledged player.
Although Jonas did not join the team, he did well in the summer of 16 years old with the team's summer training camp.
Now, Jonas is a registered player in Lucerne, and Flynn has always had Jonas on the books, and as long as he is willing to join, there must be one of the three goalkeepers.
They came with Kostler, the team's junior owner, and quickly negotiated with the on-site staff to go to one of the stadiums to train with the tryouts.
Training with regular players is a good opportunity, and most of the time they do individual technical training and rarely play games.
Stten is not tall and has a lot of physical strength, but his technique is rough.
His position on the pitch was that of a full-back, and during training, Jonas noticed that his skills were indeed mediocre and that it was a reasonable choice for the team not to want him.
But Jonas was amazed by the goalkeeper coach and the strength and conditioning coach on the field, and he used to be the standard of a qualified player, but now he has the potential to become a star.
When Jonas saved four free-kicks in quick succession from a trial player from Collins, the players and coaches in the stadium were shocked and the player was on the verge of crying.
Jonas was extremely agile, accurate and responsive, and not a single ball escaped his interception.
Goalkeeper coach Hector himself came on and agreed with Jonas to take ten penalties.
At this time, even the head coach Schweigler, who was on the other pitch, was shocked and came to watch the game.
Schweigler has been in charge for less than two years, and Jonas was not yet the team's head coach when he trained with the team.
Jonas had seen him when he came to train, and he had seen Jonas, but they had very little contact.
Hecht's ten penalties, four of the first five were saved by Jonas.
Jonas, who is over 191 tall, can not only defend high balls, but even low balls will have a hard time escaping his interception. The key is that his reflexes are very sensitive, and although he likes to make late moves, because of his good physical fitness, as long as he judges accurately, it is difficult for the ball to escape.
Penalty kicks are the most difficult to intercept because the penalty spot is only eleven meters away from the goal, and when the ball is fast, it enters the goal in 0.3 seconds, and the average penalty kick is within 0.5 seconds from the kick to the goal line.
Jonas has a good judgment and, more importantly, his body keeps up with his awareness, and he can save four of his five penalties, which even a top goalkeeper can't do.
Hector was out of breath and appointed a striker to come for a trial to kick the remaining five balls.
The player's momentum was suppressed by Jonas, and all five balls were intercepted by Jonas, which caused a round of applause from the audience.
Schweigler stopped Jonas training and said: "Come with me to the first team and organise a match before noon." ”
It's fun to play in earnest, and Jonas certainly has no reason to refuse.
He knew what Schweigler meant, but he definitely didn't want to be a professional footballer, unless, without training, he just played.
However, even if the team is from the Kostler family, this condition is too outrageous.
The team was quickly organized into two teams, one main and one substitute, with Jonas being the goalkeeper on the bench.
Jonas was only familiar with the players, not familiar with them, and after the team, he only said a little to the players on his team. 'When I take a goal kick, I don't have to leave anyone in the second half, I can drive the ball into the opposition penalty area. ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, thinking that Jonas was bragging.
Schweigrad's detachment was very uneven, all the substitutes were substitutes, not a single main force, and such a game was almost completely one-sided.
But the result of the game was very frustrating for the main team, and Jonas was not happy because it was 1-1.
Both goals were dribbles in the middle of the scuffle, with Jonas taking eight goal kicks, all of which went into the opposition box.
At first, no one believed it, but then every time Jonas kicked off, the main team was full of rumors.
The substitute team killed all but two defenders in the middle line, and the substitute team's goal was scored at this time.
Throughout the game, the main team pressed the substitute team, and there were many dangerous situations in the penalty area, but Jonas moved left and right, and pounced forward and backward to intercept them.
The only goal was when he blocked three times in a row, touching a line-changing ball on the leg of a defender, and the gods couldn't help it.
After the game, Schweiegler went crazy.
Jonas's strength is completely beyond his imagination, such a talented goalkeeper, even Yashin can't compare.
Precise judgment, quick reflexes, flexible body, great strength, whether it is a goal-line ball or a pre-judgment ball, there are almost no flaws.
At noon, he pulled Jonas hard to prevent him from leaving, and Jonas didn't leave after half pushing. After a while, Kostler's grandfather, Theon Sr., came over.
Schweigler knew he couldn't convince Jonas to join the team, so he called the owner over to talk to Jonas in person.
In front of Theon Sr. and Jonas, Schweigler promised: "If Jonas joins the team, I promise to take the championship trophy away from the Grasshoppers this year." ”
Old Theon was still a little skeptical. "Is Jonas really that powerful?"
"Jonas is the most talented goalkeeper I've ever met. He then babbled on and on about the game that Sr. Theon had just played and what Jonas could do.
Kostler, Dinah, and Stertten were all shocked by Jonas's performance, and some have not yet reacted.
"You bastard possessed by aliens, aren't you? Why are you so powerful?"
What can Jonas say? He can't say that because of the crossing, he has the synthesis of two people, and his reaction speed, physical strength, and endurance are much stronger than others.
Theon looked at Jonas, the old man on the emotional offensive at the beginning. "Jonas, in eighty-two years, our club hasn't won a single title. I don't have a few years to live, and if I can't see the team win the championship, I can't see it!"
"Grandpa Theon, I never said I wouldn't play for the team. But I have to go to school, and I can compete on weekends at most. ”
Schweigler immediately said: "You don't need to train, the most important thing for a goalkeeper is talent, and your talent is unmatched." You just need to get to know the members of the team and work well with each other. ”
The head coach said this, and the elder Theon immediately said: "Hannah, I will communicate with her to ensure that it will not affect your studies, and then how about you play for the team in the future?"
"I'm okay with that. ”
In the afternoon, the elder Theon went to meet Hannah at Zurich Airport for Jonas, and the two talked all the way, and when they returned, Jonas joined Lucerne Football Club.
Switzerland has only ten teams that practice four-wheel battles and play 36 games per season.
If it is a current backcourt player, even if it is a genius, he needs to practice with the players and cooperate with the tacit understanding.
However, the goalkeeper position is different from the other ten players, except that when arranging defensive tactics, it is necessary to cooperate with the defenders. Other times, it's a man inside the doorframe.
So, Jonas just needs to stay in good shape and don't need to practice too much to be able to play in this position.
Thus, a month after the start of the Swiss First Division, Jonas's roster was activated and he became an official member of the team.
The Swiss league kicks off at the end of July and is played on Sunday afternoons until May of the following year, with a winter break from mid-December to mid-February.
In addition to the league, there is also a Swiss Cup that is played in midweek. This tournament is open to teams from the third division and above, but the ten teams from the first division will only compete until they reach the finals.
So, even if he joins the team, there are not many games that affect Jonas learning.
Jonas's salary was also set, and Hannah negotiated the team's average salary for Jonas.
The team now has 22 players, and the annual salary expenditure is more than 1.3 million, and Jonas's salary is 60,000, which is a real average in the team.
Hannah and Theon didn't care about the salary, the money was given to Jonas for his living allowance.
With a one-year contract, there are no restrictions, and it is impossible for Jonas to leave his home team and play for another team.
August 28 is the national team break, and Jonas has been confirmed for September 4.
The rest of the day, Jonas is going to start training with the team.
