The icy breeze blew, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air.

Under a large tree, next to the whitening trunk, there is a large bush, and there is a Chinese-style pavilion.

Chu Ge sat in the pavilion.

Watching the housekeeper instruct the helpers to decorate the house and hang the fiery red lanterns high, Chu Ge took a cup of tea and tasted it leisurely.

The entrance is slightly bitter and the aftertaste is fragrant.

The phone rings.

Chu Ge picked it up and looked at it.

It was a call from the agent, Jean Reno.

After a brief chat, Chu Ge hung up the phone.

When they raised their heads, Su Qingqing and Lin Murong happened to come over.

"Whose phone number?" Su Qingqing asked casually.

"Mr. Renault. It's about contract salary increases, you know. Chu Ge said with a smile.

Su Qingqing jumped flexibly and sat on the red railing, her slender thighs dangling,

"That's the trigger of the cap clause, right?" She quickly guessed.

Chu Ge nodded, "Hmm." Against Liverpool, I just met the trigger and Woodward offered to sign the paperwork to increase my weekly salary from £200,000 to £290,000. ”

"Haha, they've finally been proactive." Su Qingqing said proudly.

"That's also because Chu Ge performed too well." Lin Murong laughed, her eyes curved into crescent moons.

Chu Ge also smiled, looking in a good mood, "Mr. Renault also said that Manchester United are ready to sign a new contract with me at the end of the season. If the team's performance is up to standard, the weekly salary of the new contract will increase significantly. It can even reach a weekly salary of up to £400,000. ”

"Not bad, not bad." Su Qingqing nodded and said with satisfaction: "To be honest, no matter how much salary the club gives you, it is not as much as the commercial sponsorship." However, salary is not just money, it is also a status symbol. The first salary in the team, second only to Messi and Ronaldo in world football, such a salary proves that the club attaches great importance to you, and it is also a proof of the status of football. ”

Chu Ge nodded.

As Su Qingqing said, he cares more about the team's attitude towards him than the increase in salary.

Manchester United did not wait for Chu Ge's agent to take the initiative to mention the salary increase, they took the initiative to propose it first, such an attitude fully shows that they value Chu Ge very much and want to keep Chu Ge in the team for a long time.

Chu Ge likes this attitude very much.

And.

No one will refuse a high salary.

The more the salary, of course, the better.

But.

Chu Ge is also very sober.

"The team is willing to pay me a big salary and I need to prove that I deserve it."

A high salary is recognition, but it is also a pressure.

Since he is the highest-paid player on the team, he has to take responsibility accordingly. Chu Ge knew this very clearly.

'Manchester United haven't been in the Champions League for a couple of years and as soon as you arrived, they were in the top of the league right away. Moreover, there is hope of winning the championship. You certainly deserve this salary. Su Qingqing said as a matter of course.

Lin Murong also smiled and said yes.

Chu Ge shook his head.

"I definitely have some credit for the team's results today, but I can't take all the credit for it. Football is a team game, and the dedication of your teammates, coaches, and even the fans is important. ”

"And we're only halfway through the season. The current results are like a dream bubble, floating in mid-air, and cannot explain the final results. Last year when I was at Inter Milan, I won the halfway league and didn't even finish in the top four. ”

"It's a wake-up call for me. Don't let your guard down until the league is over, and don't take those opponents lightly. ”

"Inter collapsed during the winter break, that's their tradition, it's not your problem. Besides, isn't it because the Indonesian boss is greedy for money and wants to make the difference, so he sent you back to Real Madrid? If you hadn't left, maybe Inter Milan would have won the league last season! ”

Su Qingqing said without thinking.

She was very confident in Chu Ge. Therefore, in her opinion, Inter Milan's release of Chu Ge was the reason for their later collapse.

Lin Murong didn't express an opinion on this, just looked at Chu Ge while thinking about it.

Chu Ge smiled and shook his head again, "What can I say about that season, even if I am in the team, there is a high probability that the subsequent collapse will be inevitable." It's too complicated to explain, but in short, it's actually mainly a matter of the strength of the team. If you don't have enough strength, if you want to win the championship, you need too many luck factors. And in Italy, luck can't always favor Inter Milan, you don't understand that. ”

Su Qingqing snorted twice unconvinced.

"By the way, have you watched the two warm-up matches of the national team a few days ago?" Lin Murong diverted the topic.

Chu Ge's face sank slightly, and he nodded.

'In those two games, the national team lost. Although it is said that it is because of the strength of the opponent in the game, many domestic fans are also saying that if you are in the team, the national team will not lose so easily. At least, it won't be a two-game loss. Lin Murong added.

Chu Ge rubbed his forehead a little helplessly.

"Perhaps." He sighed, "But how to put it, although it may not be appropriate to say that, but always relying on me alone, the competition is really difficult." ”

Chu Ge seemed a little stressed.

In the World Cup round of 12, with his carry, the current situation of the national team is very good.

With the exception of the loss to South Korea, they have won all their other games.

This has given fans a huge boost of confidence in the national team.

Countless fans are looking forward to the second appearance of the national team on the stage of the World Cup finals after the 2002 World Cup.

However.

Chu Ge knew very well that this way of leading the team by himself could not last.

No matter how powerful Chu Ge is, he is just a player.

He can "steal chickens" for the team to win one or several games with the flash of personal ability in some relatively close games, and help the team get better results.

However, if the opponent's strength exceeds his own team too much, or Chu Ge's physical or competitive state fluctuates, then such a model of relying on "stealing chickens" to win the game is likely to encounter Waterloo.

And.

A person's strength does not represent the strength of a country.

The better Chu Ge is, the more it actually reflects the failure of the domestic football environment.

Chu Ge's growth can be said to have nothing to do with the domestic football environment.

His individual excellence does not represent the revival of Chinese football.

With Chu Ge's outstanding performance, many clubs in world football have set their sights on Huaxia and want to find a second Chu Ge in his country.

However, Chu Ge himself knew it very well.

These efforts are doomed to be in vain.

There is only one Chu Ge.

There is no successor.
