Last summer, Zhen Shaolong joined Newcastle United, and only announced the transfer fee, and the signing ceremony only said the details of the contract, and did not specifically talk about the salary.

At that time, it was to consider the influence and reduce the pressure of public opinion from the outside world.

Zhen Shaolong has only been in the Bundesliga for one season, even if he breaks Gerd Muller's goal record, it is only a season of good performance, he is still very young, and his performance in the game is under pressure from public opinion, and transferring to a new club to get the so-called 'first highest salary in the Premier League' will definitely cause a lot of discussion.

Other than that.

Zhen Shaolong's performance in the Premier League is also full of uncertainty, he got the 'first highest salary', but the performance was not very good, Newcastle United club, didn't it become a 'big wrong'?

So, low-key, low-key!

Now it's different.

Zhen Shaolong's performance for more than a season can be said to have conquered all fans in the world, even the most discerning media, they have to give a thumbs up to his performance, and take it for granted that he gets a high salary.

Nature.

Newcastle United Club announced the details of the contract with great fanfare, and the most important annual salary is also the most concerned by the outside world.

£12 million!

This salary is very staggering, which translates to more than 16 million euros, and the average weekly salary is more than 300,000 euros.

This is after taxes!

In the current world football, the weekly salary of most of the top stars after tax only hovers around 100,000 euros, and the slightly higher ones can be close to 150,000 euros, which is quite remarkable.

That's already a top-tier salary.

Zhen Shaolong's weekly salary is more than 300,000 euros, which is equivalent to getting the salary of two or three top stars, which is really shocking.

The media has sent out reports to discuss it.

The discussion about the 'super salary' actually doesn't have much impact, because most people think that 'Zhen Shaolong takes a high salary for granted', and he can be judged by his goals (performance).

Yan scored 60 league goals last season and single-handedly helped Newcastle United win the league title.

Compared to other shooters.

For example, Torres, who plays for Liverpool, has scored 21 league goals.

Zhen Shaolong's goals are about three times that of Torres, and his new contract annual salary is about three times higher than Torres's.

But that's not how salaries are calculated!

There is a rule in world football that the salary and fame of a player who performs better for the same playing time increases exponentially.

There are many 'mediocre' goalscorers in the top league, they can all be regarded as stars, some play for big clubs, some play for ordinary clubs, and their performance is not good, nor bad, such as Martins and Viduka in Newcastle United, increase their playing time, they can also perform, scoring ten goals in a single season, or even more goals, but because the performance can only be described as 'dull' for a long time, their fame cannot be improved, and their annual salary can only be at the blue-collar level.

Martins' annual salary is only around £1.6 million.

Before Tax.

If you compare the minutes played in the same league, Martins will find it difficult to score 20 goals, but it is easy to score 10 goals, and he will certainly be more than half of Torres', but less than a quarter of Torres's salary.

If you consider the worse strength of the players, the salary is even more different, professional players and stars are almost the same, always the top to get more money, there will be a huge gap in the income of the middle level, in a team, the same main players, the salary of star players, it is normal to be several times higher than the ordinary main team.

Zhen Shaolong has such a gorgeous performance, and it is normal to get a salary several times that of a top striker.

The focus of more discussion in the media is 'Zhen Shaolong signed a new contract' itself, and the signing of a new contract represents an increase in liquidated damages and an increase in the length of the contract, which means that Zhen Shaolong may 'leave more time'.

Many people in the outside world believe that Zhen Shaolong will not be in Newcastle United for a long time, because Zhen Shaolong's performance is too gorgeous, and he should join a big club.

For example, Manchester United, Liverpool.

For example, Real Madrid, Barcelona.

Another example is AC Milan and Inter Milan.

Wait a minute.

Newcastle United is a grade worse than that, the 'traditional aristocracy of England' is just 'England', it is nothing in the whole of Europe, even if it is to trace the historical results, Newcastle United cannot be called a giant, and now it is only an emerging team, they cannot keep the world's top stars, Zhen Shaolong chose to sign a new contract, is it to show loyalty to the club, is it a signal of 'determined to stay for a long time'?

A lot of reports speculate.

No matter how much there is reporting and speculation from the outside world, it will not affect Zhen Shaolong to sign a new contract.

A day later.

Newcastle United Club held a grand press conference, that is, Zhen Shaolong's signing ceremony, inviting large media from many countries to participate, and under the witness of many media, Zhen Shaolong signed his name on the new contract.

————

Signing is just a situation.

Zhen Shaolong was originally a member of the club, and he didn't just transfer or something, and the outside world was surprised that he decided to sign a contract and signed the highest-paid contract for a professional player.

Not the rest.

The new signing did not affect anything, the team's training was still the same, the only thing was that many teammates expressed envy and jealousy of Zhen Shaolong's contract.

Hate, there is none.

Zhen Shaolong's performance was seen by everyone, and his teammates couldn't find a reason to 'hate'.

The most they have is a sour ridicule, "Zhen! You should be treated! ”

"Twelve million ...... after tax"

"I can't even think that your new contract is four times bigger than mine!"

"Eight times bigger than mine!"

"I ......"

Martins was embarrassed to say, "More than thirteen times, it's really an unlucky number, the same as Zhen's number." ”

Martins was depressed.

Although his salary is indeed not high, he is also in the middle of the team, and he is also very satisfied when he signs, and the result is that his teammates, who are also forwards, get more than thirteen times his salary.

Is there still love in this world?

And then.

A lot of players who have performed well are planning to make their agents look for trouble with the club, "I want a raise!" ”

"I'm going to get a raise, too!"

"I'm doing well, why should I get a raise......"

Ashley will definitely have a headache next.

Of course.

That has nothing to do with Zhen Shaolong.

After signing a new contract, he continued to devote himself to training and his life remained unchanged as Newcastle United faced a new league game away to Middlesbrough.

Newcastle United were in good form, scoring twice in the first half and two in the second half as they beat Middlesbrough 1-4 away.

Zhen Shaolong scored one goal in each half.

After the game, many media continued to issue praise reports, saying that 'Zhen Shaolong has not been affected by the new contract, and his performance is still very strong', but head coach Keegan found a problem, "Zhen seems to have become diligent?" ”

Keegan noticed that Zhen Shaolong's running had increased.

On the second day after the end of the race, Keegan found the specific statistics of the game, and Zhen Shaolong's running distance reached 8,000 meters, which has reached above the average level.

Although there is still a certain gap compared with the top 10,000 meters, 8,000 meters on Zhen Shaolong is already quite shocking data.

Cavro speculated, "Maybe the new contract is giving him momentum." ”

Keegan nodded.

Cavro's statement is very convincing, and he feels that if it were him, he would definitely be very motivated.

£12 million after tax!

The coaching contract signed by Keegan is less than 10 million pounds for four years, and it is still a salary income before tax, and he has worked hard for ten years, and his salary income is equivalent to Zhen Shaolong for one year.

"It's so unfair!"

Keegan suddenly felt that the world was full of malice.

People, I'm afraid of comparison!

In fact, Zhen Shaolong's increase in running is because of the skill acquisition task, and most of the increased running is meaningless, such as staying in the front court to talk, walking back and forth twice, as if he is walking on the field, he thinks that the increase in running does not help much in performance, and the final goal is only two, which is not better than usual performance at all.

The outside world has not paid attention to this.

The match against Middlesbrough was on December 2, and France Football's Ballon d'Or was announced on December 4, so it's almost already been announced.

One thing that is sure is --

Zhen Shaolong won the first place in the Ballon d'Or, C-Ronaldo ranked second, and Messi ranked third.

The ranking of the other candidates is not clear.

Although the official news has not yet been announced, the media will get the news a few days in advance of the annual Golden Globe Awards, and their guesses and reports will be very accurate.

There's also talk about --

"Zhen will be two hundred points more than C-Ronaldo! I can guarantee it! ”

"Two hundred points is less, I think it will be three hundred points! If I had to judge, give Zhen a thousand points, and C-Ronaldo would have given it a lot of meaning......"

"By the rules, it can't be!"

"I guess it should be one or two hundred points more!"

"It should be ......"

Zhen Shaolong didn't participate in the topic, but he was a little looking forward to the final result.

It's also a Golden Globe Award!

It is generally believed in world football that the Ballon d'Or award is more valuable than the World Footballer, and it can be said that it is the highest level of personal honor that professional players can get.

But.

After Zhen Shaolong carefully studied the Golden Globe Awards, he found that the sense of expectation became very small, because the Golden Globe Awards were just an honor, just a representative trophy, and not even a dime bonus.

"What's the use of that?"

"Going on a trip to France to attend the awards ceremony?"

Zhen Shaolong's lazy cancer attacked.

He wasn't looking forward to it.
