In addition to the five teams that have been confirmed to participate in the pre-season Trent Cup, Juventus and Atletico Madrid have been added, and Notts County itself has eight teams. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Eight clubs are enough, and with more teams, I'm afraid the Notts County training base won't be able to accommodate so many teams.

According to the results of the discussion, there is no essential difference between the format and the last time, and the eight teams will also have to be in two groups, and after the group stage of a single round-robin, the teams with the same ranking in the two groups will fight each other to determine the final name, so that each team can play four games, which is enough to achieve the pre-season warm-up effect.

Due to the success of the last Trent Cup, this time the Trent Cup has also attracted countless attention, and the sponsorship fee plus the broadcast fee and other income, the average team can get about 300w euros in prize money, which is already considerable.

And it is precisely because of the success of the Trent Cup that several giants who have not been invited are naturally unwilling to fall behind, Barcelona and AC Milan also led the planning of similar cup competitions, and invited several giant teams to participate, but it also attracted a lot of attention, and the meaning of-for-tat is obvious.

David doesn't care about these, just like a child is vindictive, the essence of the Trent Cup is to warm up, and he can get a certain amount of income on the basis of completing the warm-up, of course he won't refuse, but as for competing with others, he really doesn't have that leisure.

As he was busy preparing for the warm-up match, David didn't pay much attention to the negotiations with Gerrard, knowing that Soriano would tell him as long as there was progress, but things seemed to be going in an unpredictable direction now.

I don't know if it was Liverpool or Notts County who leaked the negotiations, and there was an uproar between public opinion and fans, although they had long thought that Liverpool might not be able to resist Notts County's money offensive, but when they got the news that Liverpool agreed to Notts County's offer, they were still shocked.

Angry Liverpool fans have been unable to control their emotions, with a large number of fans gathering outside the club's doors every day, angrily yelling for the club to keep Gerrard, and the homes of several board members have been under siege.

Gerrard has not shown up since that statement, nor has he made a public statement, as if the world has evaporated, while Gerrard's agent has been staying in Nottinghamshire and has to negotiate with the Notts County Club every day.

Reds fans believe they have been betrayed by Gerrard, and the Reds captain's last statement was a fool of them, with angry fans finding Gerrard's shirt, burning it publicly, and vowing never to forgive Gerrard.

On the other hand, the Notts County fans are very happy that the team has sold several superstars in a row and now they are finally making a big signing, which is definitely something to be happy about, and they can't wait to see Gerrard in action at the Magpies.

However, only Soriano is aware that negotiations between the club and Gerrard's agent have reached an impasse.

When Liverpool renewed Gerrard's contract in 2005, Gerrard's weekly salary was £10w, which was already the top salary in the Premier League, but this time, Gerrard's agent opened his mouth and asked the club to offer Gerrard a contract with a weekly salary of £20w, while only signing for two years.

The last time Notts County renewed his contract on a large scale, captain Alonso's weekly salary was 11.5w pounds, which was the team's maximum salary, and last season's salary reached 12.5w pounds after a salary increase, which is still the team's maximum salary, in addition to Alonso, there are 6 players whose weekly salary exceeds 10w pounds.

With Gerrard's status in world football, there is no problem in getting a salary of £12w in Notts County, and if you add Notts County's generous bonus distribution plan, Gerrard's annual income will increase by more than half, which is definitely a qualitative leap.

Originally, Soriano put the conditions of Notts County on the table, thinking that Gerrard's agent would happily agree, but he didn't expect that it seemed that the other party's appetite was greater.

The conditions proposed by Gerrard's agent are absolutely impossible for Notts County to meet, not to mention whether Gerrard deserves a weekly salary of 20w pounds, just breaking the balance of the team's salary system is unacceptable to Notts County.

There is no doubt that Alonso, as the captain, must be the highest salary in the Notts County team, and no player can surpass Alonso, which is also the consensus of everyone.

Who is the number one highest-paid athlete in the world right now?

Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko, who has just moved to Chelsea, has a weekly salary of £13w for the Ukrainian striker, but considering the distribution of bonuses from Notts County, I am afraid that he can only rank in the upper middle of Notts County in terms of income from the club.

If Notts County really gave Gerrard £20w a week, I'm afraid the whole world would go crazy.

Soriano suspended the negotiations without any suspense, and described the whole process of the negotiations to David truthfully, and the answer in the hearts of the two was the same, that is, the conditions offered by Gerrard's agent were only intended to scare off Notts County, and Gerrard himself did not want to transfer to Notts County at all.

The Liverpool club has agreed, and Gerrard has no way to convince the club, so he can only sabotage the negotiations with Notts County, and cannot reach a personal agreement with Notts County, Liverpool can't just sweep themselves away!

That's what Gerrard really thinks, and he's silently resisting in this way.

David and Soriano fell silent at the same time, perhaps they felt that they should respect Gerald's loyalty.

After a long time, David suddenly said to Soriano: "Call Gerald's agent and ask him for Gerald's phone." ”

Gerald's agent also thought that Soriano wanted to contact Gerald directly to talk about personal treatment, but he didn't want to give it to him, David snatched the phone from Soriano's hand, and said unceremoniously: "Put away your little care, I have 10,000 ways to get Gerald's phone number." ”

After getting Gerald's call, David dialed it directly.

"I'm David Parves, Notts County Chairman, Mr Gerrard, and I just want to ask you one question, do you want the title or do you want to be loyal to Liverpool forever?"

David didn't say hello, didn't greet him, but asked very directly.

Gerald was stunned when he received the strange call, and he was even more dazed when he heard David's words, but he quickly reacted.

"I'd rather win the title at Liverpool!"

Gerald's words were loud and firm, as if they were a pilgrimage! (To be continued.) )
