557 Objectives for the new season
A flight from Indonesia slowly landed at Beijing Capital Airport.
The more than 1,000 fans who had been waiting at the exit of the airport cheered on.
Three years ago, the Chinese team won the first Asian Cup championship in history, which was the first important championship in the history of Chinese football, but it was still widely questioned at home and abroad.
Needless to say, even in China, there are still many people who believe that the Chinese team can win the Asian Cup more because of the host's advantage, because throughout the event, all the matches of the Chinese team are held in Beijing.
In the Asian Cup final, the referee canceled the handball of the Japanese team, which led to a big drop in Japan's morale, and was also considered by many people to be the home whistle, thinking that the Chinese team would not win.
Even, when the Chinese team made a zero breakthrough in the World Cup in Germany, winning one win and one draw, it could not convince these stubborn fans to believe that the Chinese team is on a road of increasing strength.
Some of these people have been hurt so deeply and so hard in the past that they don't dare to believe it at all, while others are ......
In the past three years, there have been various voices in the debate about the strength and performance of the Chinese team.
And now, the Chinese team has won the Asian Cup again and has become another team to successfully defend the Asian Cup.
This is undoubtedly a big sign of the Asian powerhouse.
In the history of the Asian Cup, South Korea has defended the title, Iran has won three consecutive titles, Saudi Arabia has also defended the title, Japan has almost successfully defended the title at one time, and China is the fourth team to successfully defend the title in the Asian Cup.
With this championship, everyone believes that the domestic fans will become more and more confident.
……
When head coach Alihan walked out of the gate with the Chinese team internationals one after another, all the fans who picked up the airport cheered.
Especially when they saw that Li Weifeng, the captain of the national team, appeared holding the Asian Cup championship trophy, many fans at the scene couldn't help but sing the national anthem, and many people were still singing vigorously even if their voices were choked.
Yang Yang walked in the middle of the team, he received the most appreciation, got the most flowers and applause.
He has been the top scorer and the best player in two consecutive Asian Cups, which has convinced everyone that he is already a veritable number one star in Asia, and he is the kind of player who has pulled a long distance from the challenger.
The AFC even highly praised Yang Yang on its official website, and encouraged him to continue to work hard, hoping that he could represent Asian football, compete with the world's top players, and show the demeanor of Asian players.
"There is no doubt that at the age of 20, Yang Yang has become one of the greatest players of all time in Asia!"
Not only the AFC, but also other Asian countries, including sworn enemies South Korea and Japan, have to agree with Yang Yang's strength.
So much so that after losing the semifinals, the general public opinion in Japan is that they did not lose to the Chinese team, but to Yang Yang, which is obviously more acceptable to them.
Because at the very least, Yang Yang is the top star in Europe to compete with superstars such as Kaka and Ronaldinho.
Losing to Yang Yang is not a shame for Japan and South Korea, but more like a pride.
But in any case, the Chinese team successfully defended the Asian Cup, which is definitely a grand event for the whole country to rejoice!
Nearly 1,000 fans came to pick up the airport, which also allowed the national football players to enjoy unprecedented treatment and honor.
This championship is also bound to push Yang Yang's status and influence in China to a higher point again, and everyone around him will also benefit from it.
…………
…………
While the Chinese team played in Southeast Asia, Liverpool played a few warm-up matches in Hong Kong.
With the arrival of Yang Yang, Liverpool's popularity in China has skyrocketed, quickly becoming the most popular Premier League team in Asia, and the Reds themselves have a large fan base in Hong Kong.
This year is the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the Hong Kong government specially held a celebration, invited a number of teams, including Liverpool, to play warm-up matches, which was very lively, the only regret is that Liverpool's number one star Yang Yang was not able to go to Hong Kong with the team, which made Hong Kong citizens and fans feel regretful.
As a part of China, they are also proud and proud of Yang Yang.
When Yang Yang led the Chinese team to win the Asian Cup in Indonesia, Liverpool also sent congratulatory messages, and the official website also reported the game for the first time, giving great recognition and affirmation to Yang Yang's performance in the Asian Cup.
Almost at the same time as the Chinese team returned to Beijing, Liverpool also set off to return to England.
However, Liverpool's general manager, Rick Parry, and the club's legal department did not return with the team, but flew from Hong Kong to Beijing accompanied by Yang Yang's agent, Raiola.
After Yang Yang returned to Beijing from Indonesia and celebrated with the national team for winning the championship, the two sides took the time to meet in the hotel that afternoon, and the two sides officially reached an agreement on Yang Yang's contract renewal.
Yang Yang officially signed a new five-year contract with Liverpool, raising his weekly salary to 150,000 pounds, and the annual salary is 7.8 million pounds, which is about 12 million euros when converted into euros.
However, since the weekly salary of the Premier League is before tax, after deducting 45% of personal income tax, Yang Yang's annual salary after tax has now increased to 6.5 million euros.
This annual salary is definitely the most important first price in the Premier League, surpassing Gerrard and Shevchenko after contract renewal, becoming the veritable first highest salary in the Premier League.
In addition to the annual salary, a series of other rewards such as participation bonuses, goal bonuses, and championship bonuses have also risen.
But don't underestimate these, last season, in addition to Yang Yang's annual salary, various bonuses, especially the bonuses for winning the Champions League and the Premier League runner-up, all add up to two or three million euros, which is also quite a lot of income.
Yang Yang's contract, in every aspect, is the highest in the Premier League, which also reflects Liverpool's sincerity, but also shows Raiola's excellent negotiation skills.
But if it is compared with the top salary of other European leagues, it is still slightly inferior, for example, Barcelona's Ronaldinho's annual salary after tax is nearly 10 million, which is a lot higher than Yang Yang.
However, this is not what Yang Yang values.
Rick Parry's trip was to renew his contract with Yang Yang, and as soon as the contract between the two parties was signed, he completed the task of this trip.
……
"With the team's triumph in Athens last year and the Champions League in three years, the club's revenue has also risen, and sponsor income has also increased significantly, and the team's potential income will continue to increase steadily over the next three years."
Rick Parry smiled as he explained Liverpool's current situation.
If we look at the current situation, Liverpool has undoubtedly begun to embark on a path of healthy development.
After hearing this, Raiola glanced at Yang Yang, and suddenly said: "But I heard that your two new bosses do not seem to have as much financial resources as rumored by the outside world, before they bought Liverpool, most of the funds came from bank loans, and this year, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has intensified, and their wealth has also shrunk significantly." ”
Obviously, the Italian fat man didn't want to embarrass Rick Parry, but wanted to remind Yang Yang of something.
Liverpool's general manager was somewhat embarrassed after hearing this, "The rumors from the outside world are true or false, and they also promise that they will not transfer private debts to Liverpool." ”
Rick Parry said this very unconfidently.
Yang Yang and Raiola naturally don't believe it.
Maybe they can get by for the time being, after all, they are new to the city and want a good reputation, but if it is really as rumored by the outside world, the finances are in an embarrassment, how can it not be passed on to Liverpool?
It's like when the Glazer family bought Manchester United, in the end, even the bank loan interest had to be repaid by Manchester United.
For them in capital operation, this is a routine operation.
Football is in this field, and no matter how you play it, you can't play these capital players.
"I've heard that the team has extended a lot of contracts this year, how is it going?" Yang Yang didn't want to go any further into this topic.
Rick Parry smiled at him and thanked him for changing the subject and avoiding his embarrassment.
"Basically all of them have renewed their contracts, including Finnnan, Aurelio and Xavi Alonso, all of them, and the team has spent 20 million pounds to buy out Mascherano completely."
After Yang Yang heard this, he immediately laughed, this is definitely the best news.
Mascherano is undoubtedly a quality of the team, although he only joined in the second half of last season and has only played a few games, but it is clear that he has proven himself to be a better partner than Xavi Alonso.
The ownership of the Argentine midfielder is very confusing, and the contract is quite complicated, Liverpool originally loaned him for a year and a half, with a buyout clause of 16 million pounds in between, but in fact, even if Liverpool does pay this money, it still needs to look at the face of West Ham United.
The Hammers don't have Mascherano ownership, they have Corinthians behind them, and Corinthians have other, more complex ownership relationships behind them, in short, they are intricate and confusing.
Therefore, Liverpool's final choice is to directly give a buyout fee of 16 million pounds to buy the ownership of Mascherano, and let West Ham United and Corinthians handle the rest.
From now on, Mascherano belongs exclusively to Liverpool.
"We've been focusing on contract extensions and bench depth this summer, and in addition to a wide range of contract extensions, we've sent away Luis Garcia and sold a number of players like Cisse, Pongele, Zenden, Dudek and Robbie Fowler, but we've also brought in a few players like Benayoun, Lucas Rewa and San Jose."
'In addition, we have kept a couple of players such as Hyypia, Finnan and Reese, so the overall quality of the squad will be stronger than last season, and our goal is to remain competitive in the Champions League and challenge for the league title.
'We've never won the Premier League, which is the biggest regret for all Liverpudlians.
Yang Yang nodded silently.
That's not just Liverpool's goal, it's his.
