"England?"

"It's said that the confrontation is more intense, and in addition, there are more matches in English clubs, and there are two cup matches, so it will be tiring to play there......

Zhen Shaolong pondered carefully, "However, clubs in England are very rich, even Arsenal, which seems to be very poor, because it costs hundreds of millions of pounds to build a new stadium, hundreds of millions!" ”

"Hundreds of millions! Even give me a tenth......"

Zhen Shaolong couldn't help but say it when he thought about it, and Rhaetich sat next to him and nodded, "Give me one percent, and I'll be satisfied!" ”

"I'm willing to quit my job at St. Pauli for this."

Zhen Shaolong suddenly raised his head, "One percent is satisfied?" Are you disloyal to the club? ”

"To hell with the untold bills, let loyalty go!" "My salary is less than 200,000 euros a year, one percent of the Emirates Stadium, which is enough for me to work hard for 20 years, and then I will be retired." ”

"Makes sense."

Zhen Shaolong continued the topic just now, "So England is very good, because ...... Very rich. ”

Retich nodded.

Zhen Shaolong pondered carefully, there is really no need to find shortcomings, the style of the Premier League is fierce, but for him, which league is not fierce? Even against Sevilla and Osasuna in La Liga, the opponent will use the toughest defense to limit themselves.

So confrontation is not a problem.

Event-intensive?

Zhen Shaolong feels that he doesn't need to think about it, because he is just a flesh-and-blood player, and the club must ensure that his physical condition is adjusted before he can be sent to play, even in the Bundesliga, where the competition is not intensive, he will still miss many games, because there will be no state in continuous combat, and the body will not be able to support it at all.

So the choice in England is still good.

There are also plenty of clubs in England who are interested in him, perhaps because of ...... Clubs in England have money, and like other leagues, only the top clubs can come up with enough transfer funds.

England is different.

Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, all clubs that are only the 'second tier' of the Premier League, have openly expressed interest in him, not to mention Liverpool and Arsenal, even if the league style is not considered, he is likely to choose England in the end.

Then Retich said of the second point, "I also think the Premier League is good, it makes a lot of money. Of course, don't make a decision in a short time, you still have time to think it through. If you choose the league, all that's left is the requirements, what do you ask? For example, does the target club qualify for the Champions League? Or something else? ”

Zhen Shaolong remembered the three principles that had been drawn up, and said the first and second to Rhaetig, the two principles are very complicated to say, and the summary is very simple--

Tactical freedom.

Freedom of private life.

Although the principle sounds simple, Retig's comment is not optimistic: "I think you should stay in St. Pauli, only St. Pauli can satisfy your tactical freedom." ”

Retici laughed, and then commented, "There is no manager of a big club who would agree to any tactical freedom, freedom of private life...... It doesn't matter, as long as the negative press doesn't affect the club, it doesn't affect your own game, and of course, if you choose to go to a big club, discipline is also very important, and there are very few clubs like St. Pauli. ”

The last sentence is a bit ironic.

St. Pauli was too free.

The players train and play normally, and their private lives are basically not disturbed, and in the past, Jean, Bor and others often went to the rope road, which was all publicly known, and the club did not say anything.

This may be because St. Pauli upgraded too quickly.

Two years ago, St. Pauli was still a team in the German league and would have become an amateur team if they were relegated, and the discipline requirements of the lower league teams were naturally not high.

Now the club requirements are a little stricter, and there is still a certain gap with other clubs that have been competing in the top league for a long time.

Retig thought about it for a while and gave a reasonable suggestion, "I don't think you should say anything about 'tactical freedom', it doesn't make sense, even if the coach agrees, it's only verbal, and it can't be written into the contract. ”

Zhen Shaolong listened.

"You can ask for playing time." Retich had a faint smile on his face, "Playing time is mandatory, and there are some players who have a requirement for playing time in their contracts, which is generally very simple, such as more than 20 league appearances in a single season, this kind of flexibility is relatively high, and the manager sends out the court at the last time, which is also called a appearance." ”

"You can ask the agent to talk about it, set the time, for example, more than 20 minutes as a substitute, it is considered one appearance, more than 10 starts per season, etc., this becomes a hard rule, the contract can indicate liquidated damages, in addition to the injury factor, the number of appearances is small, the club will pay a lot of money......"

Retig talks eloquently about playing time.

Zhen Shaolong has a feeling of 'Chaowen Dao', he hasn't thought about it so deeply before, but he just feels that 'tactical freedom' is very important to him.

Really!

Transfers still have to be consulted by professionals.

After Retici finished speaking, Zhen Shaolong couldn't help but want to tell Alice, so he asked her to talk to the club that wanted to sign him.

Retig didn't talk much about 'freedom of private life', because 'private life' was so broad that there was no way to talk about it.

He asked directly, "Don't you have a salary request?" ”

"Of course."

"What requirements? I'd like to hear what to expect. ”

"The higher, the higher." Zhen Shaolong said as a matter of course, "Everyone wants to get a high salary, just like you said, I am willing to give up my job in St. Pauli for a few million, and I also want to get a high salary, the higher the higher." ”

"If there is a club that can offer more than 10 million salaries, I probably ...... Probably doesn't mind that it's an unknown team. ”

Rhaerich was stunned for a long time, and finally muttered adding, "I think so too......"

————

Zhen Shaolong returned to his residence and was still thinking about the issue of 'tens of millions of annual salary'.

An annual salary of tens of millions is really quite tempting.

The salary of professional players is generally calculated according to 'after tax', and high-income people pay a high proportion of taxes, and the annual salary of tens of millions is definitely the top salary in world football.

"Beckham, who chose to join the Los Angeles Galaxy, probably has an annual salary of 10 million, right?"

Zhen Shaolong doesn't know Beckham's salary, but he knows that professional players in European clubs, even the top stars, can't get contracts with tens of millions of annual salaries.

"But there will definitely be in the future!"

"I'm sure I can do it!"

"When the time comes......" Zhen Shaolong began to imagine in his mind, after having an annual salary of tens of millions, there would be so much money that he could not spend enough to live a troubled life.

At noon the next day, Zhen Shaolong received another news about money--

New sponsorship.

For nearly a week, Alice has been busy working, and now there is finally a result, and the advertising team of PepsiCo's European department has definitely expressed its hope to sign Zhen Shaolong in advance.

The reason why I say 'early' is because Zhen Shaolong's fame is not big enough to reach the level of top stars, and in addition, his transfer is uncertain.

Two companies that monopolize the cola industry: Pepsi and Coca-Cola, basically only sign superstars, and being sponsored by coke giants also shows the fame of a football star.

Just look at the stars under Pepsi: Ronaldinho, Raul, Lampard, Thierry, and the younger Messi, Torres, etc.

Zhen Shaolong's fame is not small, and his performance is even more crazy, but he has only participated in the Bundesliga and the League Cup for one season, and no matter how crazy his performance is, the future is uncertain.

Pepsi decided to sign Zhen Shaolong in advance, or because of the competition with Coca-Cola, Zhen Shaolong's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and his performance is still very crazy, and he has also become one of the most popular figures in European transfers, which has attracted a lot of attention.

In business competition, it's important to strike quickly.

PepsiCola's advertising team carefully studied and discussed and decided to sign Zhen Shaolong in advance.

The sponsorship contract is still being negotiated.

Alice said the general situation, Pepsi wants to sign a short-term contract, and they pay more attention to the 'priority signing clause', in other words, after the short-term contract expires, Zhen Shaolong will give priority to Pepsi.

That's the good news.

Pepsi's sponsorship must be a big deal, with hundreds of thousands of euros guaranteed a year.

Zhen Shaolong listened to the beauty, and in a good mood, he also decided to buy a promising villa, as an asset investment, but also to let himself have a home in Hamburg.

His affection for St. Pauli was deep.

St. Pauli was the beginning of his career, which brought him a rich life and happiness, and there were many things to remember from the experience.

There are still a lot of friends here.

Zhen Shaolong believes that he will come to Hamburg once in a while in the future, and it will definitely be the right decision to buy a property as a temporary home.

————

One day later, it's the Bundesliga.

Round 31.

In order to cope with the match against Osasuna, Zhen Shaolong was still not sent out, but even if his body did not recover well, he still sat on the bench.

The league is also important for St. Pauli now.

St. Pauli are third in the league and must fight for the final rounds, preferably to retain third place in the league to qualify for next season's Champions League, otherwise they still have to play in the UEFA Cup.

Any club will take the initiative to qualify for the Champions League, because the Champions League is a real big stage, every game is watched, and at the same time, the Champions League will bring huge profits to the club.

So St. Pauli must fight for it.

St. Pauli played well in this game, perhaps because of the team's improved results, which gave the players more fighting spirit, and they showed high competitive form at home, and in the first half, Bol scored with a powerful shot to help the team lead Hertha Berlin.

After that, St. Pauli went on the defensive.

Bergmann's 'guiding ideology of the game' is like this, Hertha Berlin is a stronger team than St. Pauli, Zhen Shaolong is sitting on the bench again, and after leading the score 'accidentally', he naturally has to defend, defend, and defend again.

Then Hertha Berlin suffered a depressed forty-five minutes.

In the face of St. Pauli's turtle-like shell, the forwards retreated to the defense of the penalty area, they could not do much, and the offense was easily defused again and again, and the mental state of the players on the field became a little anxious.

In the end, St. Pauli defeated Hertha Berlin 1-0 at home and won the 31st round.

After the game, the Berliner Sport newspaper quipped, "Bergmann interprets 'defending wins', St. Pauli has done almost nothing, just cowered in the box......"

Of course.

Bergmann was dismissive of this, and the victory meant much more than the media praise.

Now it's time to prepare for the second round against Osasuna.

The training atmosphere at St. Pauli is serious.

This was probably the most serious stage for the team, and everyone was very positive, even talking less about gossip during breaks.

Everybody wants to play in the final.

It was the UEFA Cup final, the big stage of world football!

Of course.

There is also a special player - Bor.

Bol didn't promote his new book, but came over to Zhen Shaolong with a 'embarrassed expression'......

"Borrow money?"

Zhen Shaolong exclaimed.

"Yes." Bol looked left and right, worried that his voice would be heard by everyone, and he still wanted to save face, "I've been a little tight lately, it's all damn Jean...... Damn it! Bastard! I asked him for my money, and he said that he had invested it, and I asked him to borrow money, and he said that Lanisa was the one who was in charge of the money, so he only gave me a hundred euros......"

Bol said as he took out the bill, "Isn't that insulting me?" ”

Zhen Shaolong was a little speechless, his eyes were full of sympathy, and there was a special look, called, "You think it's an insult, and you accept it?" ”

He was afraid of hitting people and didn't say it.

"I ......"

In Boer's expectant eyes of 'we have the best relationship', Zhen Shaolong subconsciously wanted to say 'no money', but only remembered "Truth" when the words came to his lips.

Damn the system!

After not knowing tens of thousands of abuses of the system, Zhen Shaolong simply took a roundabout route, "I was planning to buy a property recently, just around St. Pauli, that lot is very expensive......"

"Also, I bought a property in my hometown this year, Zhengyang, China......"

"I'm going to change my car in the summer......"

"I bought something for Alice a few days ago, and it cost nearly two thousand euros."

"I'm going to pay the salaries of two bodyguards and an assistant ......"

“……”

Zhen Shaolong said several things in a row, and Bol listened patiently beside him, but said with his eyes, 'I don't care how you spend your money'.

Zhen Shaolong was having a headache, and his mobile phone suddenly rang.

The savior is coming!

"I'll answer the phone!" Zhen Shaolong picked up the mobile phone beautifully, and only then pressed the answer button, and a surprise shout came from the opposite side, "Zhen! I've got it done! 400,000 euros for short-term sponsorship! ”

Zhen Shaolong was excited, and hurriedly pressed the hang up button.

Bolton grinned and said, "Congratulations! Examine! You are such a god of wealth, I don't need so much, just borrow 10,000 euros. ”
