Chapter 39: An ultimatum
After defeating Shenhua, he rested for a day, and Lu Wei came to the East Asia Gymnasium early in the morning to train again.
Today's weather is good, although it has entered June, but it is not particularly hot, S city is on the coast, there is a wet sea breeze blowing, and it will be uncomfortable in July and August.
"Viagra!"
"Good morning viagra!"
The players greeted Lu Wei one after another.
"Good morning." Lu Wei responded one by one and touched Yu Zhengchao's shoulders.
When the personnel arrived, they ran a few laps in the playground first, and Coach Hu organized another training match.
At the end of the training match, during the break, the players sat in a shaded place under the eaves and chatted.
"We won the Shenhua team, Manager Zhao didn't invite guests to dinner, I saw him just now, and I didn't mention it, grass, slam the door!" Vice captain Zhang Ning complained.
"The team has no money now, and the owners are planning to sell the team, so why will they throw money at the team? Manager Zhao estimates that he will not be able to open the pot soon, so forget about the treat. Team member Gao Cong said.
"What about our salaries? Can this month's salary still be paid? One player worried.
"I don't know, if the team is relegated, it will probably not be sent."
"If we don't pay our salaries, what will we eat?"
The players began to worry that if the next game against Evergrande failed and the team was relegated, they may not be able to get this month's salary, and their jobs may not be saved, and the future is dark.
If you want to keep what you have now, you can't do it without working hard.
Except for Lu Wei and Yu Zhengchao, everyone is under a lot of pressure.
"See what this is?"
A player who was playing with his mobile phone shook the phone in his hand, attracting several heads to lean over.
"Lottery football?"
"Yes, you see, our team was gambled by this website, let others bet, and guess who can succeed in relegation between us and the Lifan team."
"! It's true that we become someone else's bet. The object of the ball. ”
"Bet. Ball? Let me see how the odds are? "One of the players was in the eye and rushed over.
The other players also leaned over curiously, staring at the phone.
"1:7.1,! All buy the Lifan team, and we have no confidence in East Asia. ”
After seeing the odds, the players cursed, they really blinded their dog's eyes, is the East Asian team like the kind of team that will be relegated? Why are there so few people who buy the East Asian team to win?
"With the odds of one to seven, if I invest 100,000 and the East Asian team succeeds in relegation, won't I be able to earn 600,000?" When a player saw such high odds, his heart suddenly moved, and an idea popped up.
"You don't want to buy us to win, do you? Don't do that, the odds are too low! Evergrande is much stronger than us, and if you buy yourself, you may lose money. One person guessed his psychology and poured a basin of cold water.
"That doesn't have to be ......"
The player analyzed: "Now we are the same as Lifan's points ranking, if Lifan loses in the last round, even if we lose to Evergrande, we will not be relegated immediately, but will compete with Lifan to determine the winner, Evergrande team can't win, there should be no pressure to beat Lifan, right?" ”
“…… It makes sense, we have Yu Zhengchao and Viagra, and it is understandable that we can't win against Evergrande, but against Lifan, which is similar to us, we will destroy them in minutes! ”
The player's eyes lit up again: "Now many people are buying the Lifan team, it is estimated that they see that the opponent of the East Asian team, Evergrande, is too strong, but they ignore that Lifan itself is also a weak team, if the Lifan team also loses in the last round, then we are almost sure to earn, 1:7 odds!" ”
Many players were moved, and they took out their mobile phones to log in to Jingcai Football Network, as if they were planning to bet.
Most of the players still didn't move, because they really didn't know the bottom in their hearts, it is true that the Lifan team is a weak team, but it is still stronger than East Asia, if Lifan draws or wins in the next round of the game, it will be a huge blow to the East Asian team, which means that East Asia must get points on Evergrande.
But this probability is too low, and the hope of the East Asian team for relegation cannot be completely pinned on the performance of the Lifan team in the next game.
"Lifan's game against Renhe will be held on June 12th, and our game against Evergrande will be on the 13th, so let's wait for the end of Lifan's game before betting, and now it's too risky." Li Weiming shook his head and said, gambling is prohibited in China. Ball is strictly forbidden for professional players to gamble. Ball, but there are countermeasures under the policy, and some players whose wages are not enough to support a family gamble. Ball is their biggest hobby, and Li Weiming is one of them.
Lu Wei listened to the excitement next to him, a little excited, and wanted to gamble, but he didn't have much money on hand, and he didn't have a lot of confidence in the East Asian team, so he thought about it and suppressed this impulse.
Two men in suits walked over from a distance, and the sharp-eyed players quickly got up from the grass after seeing the two of them.
"Manager Zhao and the boss are here!"
"Boss?"
The owner of the club, surnamed Zhou, was a short, middle-aged man in a gray suit, half bald, with a bulging belly and a very shrewd glint in his eyes.
However, today's state of Boss Zhou does not look very good, his brows are furrowed, his face is worried, he is doing international trade, the financial crisis in recent years, foreign trade is not very easy to do, he has lost a lot of money, and now he wants to dispose of some worthless things in his hands.
For example, East Asia Football Club.
"Boss!"
"Hello boss!"
Li Weiming greeted respectfully, they had met the team owner a few times, and when their parents came, they naturally knew how to behave.
Boss Zhou waved his hand, looking impatient.
"You should know the situation of the team, Mr. Xu told me that if the team can be relegated, he is willing to buy the team at a price of 30 million, and if the team is relegated, it is a question whether it can be sold."
"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm here to tell you today: if you can make the team relegated, after the team is sold, I will reward 1 million! If the team is relegated, don't think about the money, give me all the cover and get out! ”
"That's what I mean, take care of it yourself."
After saying that, Boss Zhou left, leaving the player with a stunned face.
Boss Zhou is here to give an ultimatum.
The players are not very comfortable, Boss Zhou bought the team for more than two years, at the beginning it was more attentive, and almost ignored it in the later stage, when he took the money, he deducted the rope, and the team's only few international players were also sold by him one after another, the team's results were bad, but the boss blamed them for the reason, which was really cold.
This kind of boss should not be involved in the football industry at all.
After a little rest, the players who were in a bad mood continued to train, they didn't like the boss, but they liked money, a million, if the team was relegated successfully, one point, everyone could get tens of thousands, who doesn't want it?
