At the same time.

Newcastle United are in heated talks over the transfer of Zhen Shaolong.

New progress has been made in the negotiations.

Florentino proposed the strategy of exchanging and lending players, which made Ashley very excited, and he was also worried about Zhen Shaolong's departure, Owen's contract has not been negotiated, and he doesn't really want to renew Owen, because Owen's performance is not counted, and there is no difference between renewing a big contract and wasting money.

Zhen Shaolong left.

Owen left.

Viduka's contract also expired and it was decided to return to the Australian league.

Newcastle United are the only ones left in the front line, Martins is unlikely to leave, but he can't hold up the whole line alone.

Ashley's goal is not high, the club is just an investment for him, the league championship is not much higher than the income of other teams, it is completely unnecessary to maintain a gorgeous squad configuration, but the basic results still have to be guaranteed, the bottom line in his heart is to become a stable team to strive for the top four, it is best to stabilize the top four, the club's income can be maintained, relying on a Martins alone, wanting to stabilize the top four in the league is no different from dreaming.

Therefore, a summer transfer spree is a must, and Real Madrid's strikers are a good choice.

Florentino provided a list of players available for exchange and loan, including Higuain, Van Nistelrooy, Huntelaar, Saviola, etc., and basically except for Raul, other Real Madrid strikers, including reserve and youth team players, are all listed.

Ashley was immediately very excited, he felt that Higuain, Huntela, and Saviola would all be won, and Van Nistelrooy was a little old, so there was no need to bring it in, but the price negotiation was a big issue and had to be discussed carefully.

There was progress in the negotiations that day.

The two sides set the overall transfer fee at €255 million on the basis that at least two of Real Madrid's first-team players will transfer to Newcastle United.

After that, it's time to discuss specific players, whether they want to go on loan or transfer, and how much to choose a player.

Negotiations were suspended.

In fact, it had to be suspended, no matter which players Newcastle United selected, Real Madrid had to discuss with the players themselves.

In addition, Ashley couldn't make a decision, and he thought he should ask Keegan.

Keegan is the head coach.

Even if Ashley doesn't think Keegan has any ability, an experienced professional manager must have a better eye for players than he is a businessman.

The next day, the team trained normally.

Zhen Shaolong came to the club on time, and on the way, he saw Ashley running, he was wearing a sportswear, and he was trembling when he ran with fat all over his body.

Zhen Shaolong looked at it from a distance and felt surprised, because he had never seen Ashley do sports other than golf.

Jogging?

Inexistent!

Ashley must have taken fewer steps than he ate.

Such a rare picture, naturally had to be recorded to leave evidence, Zhen Shaolong immediately turned on his mobile phone and recorded it from a distance for a few seconds, only to be discovered by Ashley.

"Zhen, what are you filming?"

Ashley ran over with a smile, panting as if he had run 10,000 meters, it was rare for him to have this kind of perseverance, and he was so tired that he didn't stop.

Zhen Shaolong immediately put down his mobile phone and replied, "I just came to the club and was about to go to the locker room." ”

"Then I'll continue to exercise."

"Workout?"

"Of course." Ashley said without blushing, "I exercise a lot. Exercise more to keep you young, otherwise you will make so much money......" The voice behind it was very small, as if talking to himself.

'We should have made more money this season, we got to the last four of the Champions League and maybe the final.

Zhen Shaolong said enviously, because the bonuses of the Champions League belong to the club and basically have nothing to do with the players, unless the club is willing to share them with the players.

Is that possible?

"Damned miser, evil capitalist!" Zhen Shaolong suddenly felt unhappy.

Ashli didn't realize that when he heard Zhen Shaolong talking about the Champions League, he immediately grinned and said, "Yes, it's thanks to you, your performance is fantastic." ”

"Thanks, that ......"

Zhen Shaolong was about to make a joke and ask if he would give him more bonuses, but Ashley ran away with a 'whoosh', and the speed felt like a 100-meter sprint, he couldn't help but be surprised, "This fat man...... I can run so fast! ”

"Damn!"

"If you don't want to pay more bonuses, just say it, can you use it like this?"

When Zhen Shaolong was complaining, he heard a prompt sound from the system, "Prompt: A new system task has been triggered."

Everyone in your team is working hard to get to the Champions League final, but the Champions League prize money has nothing to do with the players.

This is not fair.

You'll need to fight for bonuses for the whole team, and at the same time, the amount of bonuses will motivate you and your teammates to perform better.

For every extra £10,000 you earn, you'll enjoy the following bonuses in your next Champions League game:

1, the trigger distance of the "Must Kill" skill, yearning for expansion increased by one centimeter.

2. The correction range of "calibration" is expanded by 0.5 cm.

3. The duration of "Feat" is increased by 0.01 seconds. ”

When the prize money won exceeds £2 million, your teammates (up to two specified) will receive in the next match -

1. If you touch the ball in the small penalty area, 20% of the effect will be scored.

2. If your designated teammate shoots, you will get one-third of the correction effect of "Calibration".

Reward: Appearance Index increased by 1 point. ”

System Mission!

Fight for the bonus!

When Zhen Shaolong heard the introduction of the task content, his mouth couldn't help but grin, he was lamenting his poverty, and he didn't expect the task to appear in the system.

That's a good task!

Zhen Shaolong carefully understood the task, and immediately understood the key issue - to fight for bonuses from the club!

It sounds a little unreasonable for a player to go to the club to fight for a bonus, but Zhen Shaolong doesn't think it's too much, the team should have a bonus for playing well, that is, when he meets Ashley, a dime a dime businessman, and other clubs that have not played in the Champions League, seeing that the team has reached the Champions League semi-finals, they must give bonuses to all players, where does the money come from? Where does the fighting spirit come from?

"Money is the best incentive!"

Even if it is in an ordinary company, but when the company completes a big deal and makes a lot of money, it will give more bonuses to employees, which plays a role in motivation and cohesion, and the Champions League semi-finals they worked hard to reach have nothing.

"The system is right! It's so unfair! ”

"There must be a bonus!"

"As the club's most vocal player, he has the highest prestige, the highest appearance and the highest popularity in the team...... In short, ahem...... The best player, I have to help the whole team win money! ”

"Two million pounds at the minimum?"

After Zhen Shaolong carefully read the mission description, he almost understood the bottom line, only when the prize money reaches two million pounds, can the designated teammates get the BUFF bonus.

"So, it's about the competition!" Zhen Shaolong suddenly had a sense of honor and mission, and fighting for the bonus was not for himself, but for the whole team, and for the Champions League semifinals to win.

It's great!

————

Zhen Shaolong didn't go to Ashli in a daze, but went to the locker room normally.

The power of one person is limited!

Since it is for the whole team to fight for bonus benefits, other teammates should also participate.

Of course.

Zhen Shaolong will not harm his teammates, and his teammates who will definitely stay in the club do not need to participate.

He only looked for the one who was sure to leave.

Irving.

Viduka.

"Let's go find Michael together!" Zhen Shaolong made a suggestion, "I think we should fight for the prize money, the competition bonus. We've made it to the semi-finals, maybe to the final, without prize money, where is the motivation? ”

What Zhen Shaolong said was supported by the two.

But......

"Just go to Mr. Ashley?" Viduka had never done such a thing, and made a small suggestion, "Perhaps we should go to Mr. Keegan and ask him to talk to Mr. Ashley." ”

Owen said, "It's really not a good idea to find Michael, he's just a stingy fat man." He is still resentful of the club's refusal to renew his contract with a high salary.

"Listen to me, go straight to him! Let Mr. Keegan go? This kind of thing, Kevin...... I don't think he's of much use. ”

Owen nodded.

Zhen Shaolong received the task of the system, and the thing must be done, "Don't be afraid, I'll go and say, it's good for you to follow along, anyway, you don't have a contract." ”

Owen and Viduka looked at each other.

They were a little hesitant.

This kind of thing sounds very powerful, and it definitely doesn't sound good when it gets to the media.

But......

To put it another way, reaching the last four of the Champions League without a penny of prize money is too much.

"Go, what are you afraid of!"

Owen said through a gritted tooth.

Viduka is relatively calm, he doesn't recommend asking for bonuses, but he is not afraid of offending the club at all, because he is about to leave and return to the Australian league, and the club and Ashley have nothing to do with him.

Even this season, it's hard for him to play.

So...... It's nothing.

————

By the time the morning training session was about to begin, Keegan noticed that there were three fewer people on the field.

Zhen Shaolong.

Irving.

Viduka.

"Where did they go?" Keegan asked.

Milner pointed to the office building, "They seem to have gone to Mr. Ashley." ”

Keegan nodded and urged the training, and he went to the office building to find out what was going on.

Meantime.

Office of the President.

Zhen Shaolong walked in with Owen and Viduka, Owen and Viduka are quite nervous, they can both be said to be stars, and Owen can also be called a 'big star'.

But......

It's the first time in my career to ask the president of the club for a bonus!

Zhen Shaolong was very calm, he was also a little panicked, but thinking about the system task, thinking that he might also leave, in addition, the future competition could not be separated from him.

Afraid of what?

Ashley was half-lying on a chair reading a magazine, and the appearance of reading a book carefully was admirable, but if you paid close attention to the body without cloth on the cover, you knew that the content was not suitable for children.

Seeing Zhen Shaolong and the three of them walk in, Ashley was very surprised, he put down the magazine in his hand, and asked strangely, "It's training time, right?" Can I help you? ”

"Zhen?"

He looked at Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong made a serious statement, "We have discussed that the club should issue a bonus, about the league and the Champions League. We can win the league, we can win the Champions League, and I think the prize money will bring the team closer together and give everyone more motivation to play. ”

Ashli was stunned for a moment, his head shook like a rattle, and immediately said continuously, "Impossible! ”

"Nope!"

"Don't even think about it!"
