"Zhen Shaolong's number of goals is really terrible!" It was not the media, nor the fans, nor the competitors who made this statement, but one of the people involved in the goal, Newcastle United president, Michael Ashley.

Ashley felt more emotion in his heart, because every goal Zhen Shaolong scored would receive a large bonus in the club.

It's already a 100,000 pound at its peak!

In the past league, Zhen Shaolong has scored 45 goals, according to Zhen Shaolong's contract with the club, he can get 1 million pounds for scoring 20 goals, and after 20 goals, the bonus for each goal is 100,000 pounds, and the total prize for 45 goals has reached 3.5 million pounds.

This bonus amount is terrible.

The annual salary of some top stars is only three or four million pounds, and Zhen Shaolong's goal bonus is higher than the annual salary of most stars.

And that's not the final prize money, he'll definitely be able to score in the future.

Zhen Shaolong also has other bonuses.

Newcastle can finish in the top four of the league, and the contract stipulates that Zhen Shaolong can get 1 million pounds.

Judging from Newcastle United's current results, there is definitely no problem in getting the top four in the league, Zhen Shaolong's goals and performance bonuses are equivalent to 4.5 million pounds, and considering the high annual salary of 10 million pounds, the salary and bonuses he gets in the club can easily exceed 15 million pounds.

Ashley's heart aches!

Of course, he would like to see the opposing star score more goals, but when the goals accumulate to a certain point, for example, 40 and 50 are not much different, they are numbers that other strikers can only look up to, and the club has to pay an extra £1 million for it.

Newcastle United and Zhen Shaolong's contract does not have a relevant image rights clause, when signing the contract, Newcastle United just wanted to sign Zhen Shaolong and let him join to help the team achieve good results, not how much money to make on him.

Now Ashley regrets it to the extreme, Zhen Shaolong has scored more and more goals and is becoming more and more famous, but the club does not want to rely on his fame and earn direct income, it can only be through the club's own commercial channels, selling jerseys is one of them, but any Premier League club, its own commercial operations, will always be a fraction of the income.

For example, if a fan is willing to spend £100 to support the club, 100,000 fans will only have £10 million, a large part of which is operating costs, and a part of the net profit will be distributed to the players.

It's hard!

Ashley is starting to struggle with money!

Of course.

It is absolutely impossible to let Ashley sell Zhen Shaolong, for example, some time ago, Chelsea Chairman Abramovich secretly inquired through an intermediary whether he had the idea of selling Zhen Shaolong, and Ashley only had one sentence, "Dream it!" ”

"Who wants to take Zhen Shaolong away...... If Zhen Shaolong himself agrees, pay liquidated damages! ”

Zhen Shaolong's contract liquidated damages are as high as 200 million pounds, which is higher than the market value of some big clubs, and the amount is definitely stable.

That's insane!

The reason why Ashley did not sell Zhen Shaolong is very simple: as a pure businessman, he will only count the money in, not the outside, no matter how much money Zhen Shaolong gets, he does not create more income for the club, for a professional club, results can directly bring benefits.

This season, Newcastle United will definitely have no problem finishing in the top four without winning the league.

This increases the prize money income of the Premier League, which is very small, but the first place in the league will also take more than 10 million pounds more than the 10th place in the league.

A high league position also increases the share of the prize money for televising, which is sure to be more than 10 million pounds.

Then there's commercial sponsorship.

Newcastle United can win the top four in the league, and it has also received huge attention at home and abroad, and it will definitely be able to talk about new sponsorship, and the income from commercial sponsorship will also increase to a certain extent.

In addition, Newcastle United finished in the top four of the league and can look forward to next year's Champions League.

The Champions League, it's all money!

These are visible incomes, but Ashley won't calculate them, and he thinks the best result is that "every time Zhen Shaolong scores a goal, it helps the team 'just' win, and if you can score one goal to win the game, you don't have to score six goals to ......"

"Yes, that's it!"

Ashley had some regret that the score was not under his control.

So, the bonus must also be paid!

Meantime.

The outside world has also started a lot of coverage, all of which are about Newcastle United's match against Manchester United, and many media reports use "bloodbath" as an adjective.

Some media even said, "Zhen Shaolong washed the entire Manchester United by himself!" ”

That's just the way it is.

Zhen Shaolong scored six goals personally, not only refreshing the Premier League personal goal record, but also refreshing Manchester United's record of 'being scored'.

So it's not too much to use 'bloodbath' at all.

The media reports are all touting Zhen Shaolong, and the British media are good at doing this kind of thing, they can tout a young player who has just appeared and completed a passing game, touting him as the future Maradona, and can also tout the young rookie who scored a goal as surpassing the 'alien' Ronaldo.

Zhen Shaolong scored 45 goals, breaking various goal records in a row, and is very popular with fans, and his potential to be 'touted' is too great.

In the mouth of the British media, Zhen Shaolong has been recognized all over the world as 'the world's No. 1 striker'.

"In the future, he will definitely surpass all kinds of legends...... No, he's already surpassed! ”

"He's going to be the most famous player!"

"The next 10 years will be his time! No matter how good the other stars are, the stars will be dim in front of him, I have to say that living in the same era with Zhen Shaolong is the sadness of other professional players......"

In addition, some media associate Zhen Shaolong with Chinese football, and they believe that Zhen Shaolong will lead Chinese football to a complete rise.

That's what the Chinese media thinks, too.

The British media only mentioned in passing that the Chinese media has packaged Zhen Shaolong as Maradona, not that his football skills are compared with Maradona, the two are fundamentally different positions, there is no point in comparison, they deserve personal influence.

Maradona is known as the 'King of the Ball', not only because of his skills, but also because of his influence on Argentine football.

Before Maradona became famous, Argentina was the weak team in South American football, not to mention in the whole world, it was Maradona who led Argentina to win the World Cup, and his success led to the development of Argentine football.

Maradona is the 'Argentine God of Football'.

The Chinese media also hope that Zhen Shaolong can become the 'God of Chinese Football', lead China to the top of the world, and rely on his personal influence to make Chinese football truly develop.

"If Zhen Shaolong can do it, he will be much greater than Maradona, because he leads the Chinese ......"

Compared to China, Argentina is a weak chicken......

Of course.

The media will certainly not say it so bluntly, but the meaning is actually similar, national influence is very important, for example, with personal influence, leading the development of football in the Maldives, no matter how large the influence is, the scale of coverage is too small.

China, 1.3 billion people!

If the population is large, the difficulty will increase, Maradona is a little less influential in China, and the domestic media commented, "If he can do it, he will definitely become the greatest star in the history of football in the past century!" ”

"Influence the development of football in the whole of China!"

"The pattern of world football will change dramatically as a result......

Many reports have talked about it, Zhen Shaolong is easy to see, he has been reading various news in a row, and he feels a little strange in his heart, "I just knew...... Lao Tzu is so powerful! ”

"Lao Tzu is a great man! It's a saint! ”

"Yes!"

"The most influential star in the 100-year history of football! I like this statement......"

"That's just a great thing to say!"

"I will definitely become such a person in the future! No, maybe I'm already a ...... now"

After reading many similar reports, Zhen Shaolong felt that he should get a tattoo and tattoo two words on his head--

Great!

Big!

"That's not right...... These two words are listed separately, how can it feel a little weird......"

When Zhen Shaolong fell into thinking about the connotations of the two Chinese characters 'wei' and 'great', Claudio suddenly pushed the door and walked in, she shouted excitedly, "Zhen! Examine! Big news! ”

"What?"

Zhen Shaolong turned his head to look over.

"Last week, my latest video was released, and at the beginning there were only a few clicks, only one or twenty thousand a day, and yesterday I don't know what was going on, and the clicks rose by 100,000 all of a sudden! My Facebook followers have gone up a lot, and now they're over 200,000! ”

Claudio curled the corners of his mouth excitedly, with a 'I'm amazing, worship me' expression.

Zhen Shaolong nodded and analyzed lightly, "It should be related to our game." ”

"What does my video have to do with your game?" Claudio asked angrily.

Zhen Shaolong pursed his lips vigorously, and said as a matter of course, "Don't forget, I helped post a link on my Facebook, and I also noted that I was a guest......"

"It must have nothing to do with this!" Claudio clenched his teeth, unwilling to believe that his achievements would be linked to Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong clicked on the browser and opened the Facebook page, "Look! ”

Claudio sees a system prompt --

Add Followers 624213......

She didn't want to know how many digits there were, but there were many, many of them.

Claudio felt that her self-confidence had been greatly hurt by 999+, and she swore that if she had any achievements next time, she would never share them with Zhen Shaolong, otherwise it would be too shocking to know that the reason was Zhen Shaolong.

She pouted and walked away silently.

————

The next day, the team resumed training.

Zhen Shaolong came to the training ground early, and he met Michael Owen in the locker room.

Owen was sitting in a chair, his legs crossed together, his eyes closed and motionless, as if he was relaxing his mind, which was easy to think of the posture of cultivating divine skills in martial arts.

Zhen Shaolong waved his hand and said hello, "Michael, congratulations on returning to the team!" Buttocks...... Ha ha...... How's your ass? ”

Owen opened his eyes and wondered, "I have a leg injury?" The doctor said that you can train with the team first, but you just need to be careful not to exercise vigorously. ”

"By the way, you said the ass ......"

Owen remembered the point, and his face suddenly darkened, "It's Stephen (Carl), not me!" ”

"Oh."

Zhen Shaolong was suddenly a little embarrassed, there were teammates injured in a row, he couldn't remember which injury corresponded to which teammate, he always thought that Owen was injured in the butt.

All right.

Treat it as if it never happened.

Zhen Shaolong immediately changed the topic and asked suspiciously, "By the way, what are you doing sitting here?" ”

Owen's eyes flashed, and he immediately said, "It's nothing, just close your eyes and rest, I heard, it will help keep you in a better spirit." ”

"Really?"

Zhen Shaolong is a little confused, he is full of sympathy for Owen, Owen is the kind of player who is often injured, and his condition and performance have been affected by injuries for a long time, and he will probably do something that ordinary people can't understand?

A hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes, and he gave a friendly suggestion, "Michael, if there is anything you need help with, just say it directly, of course, the money is far away." Anyway, I still recommend that you see a psychiatrist......"

"Hurry up and change your clothes!"

Owen was extremely irritable and didn't want to talk much, and then continued to close his eyes, not knowing exactly what he was doing.

Zhen Shaolong was in the middle of changing clothes, and he kept looking over, he looked left and right, and even walked into a range of a few meters, and found that Owen was indeed closing his eyes hard, not pretending, and immediately took out his mobile phone--
