Originally, when Feng Quan completed the contract renewal with the club and received the highest weekly salary of 150,000 euros in the team, there were still some voices of dissatisfaction within the team. Even the agents of several of the team's main players, after learning the news of Feng Quan's contract renewal, asked Atletico Madrid for a salary increase and contract renewal.

However, when Atletico Madrid lacked a number of key players and was in a passive situation for most of the time, he almost single-handedly changed the tide of the game, the club's general manager Paul Fortre immediately responded very forcefully to the demands of many agents for a salary increase.

"All players who play for Atletico Madrid have the right to a high salary. However, if you want to get a higher salary, you must show excellent strength in the game like Feng Quan. Prove with your performances in the game that you deserve every euro that the club pays for you. ”

Unlike other players who have asked Atletico Madrid for high salaries, Diego Costa, who has also had a magical performance this season, received an "application" for a contract extension from the club a month ago.

The reason why Atletico Madrid took the initiative to apply for a contract renewal is not only because the English Premier League giants Chelsea FC announced that they are interested in winning the team's "top scorer", but also has a lot to do with a clause in Diego Costa's original contract related to liquidated damages.

Diego Costa's contract, which was due to expire in the summer of 2015, stipulates that Atletico Madrid must unconditionally release him if he has only one year left on his contract, as long as the non-Spanish club bids 25 million euros.

Therefore, in order to be able to keep Diego Costa, a "thigh" level of fierce player for a long time, Atletico Madrid found Mendes, a famous European agent, to negotiate with him on the renewal of his contract.

As Chelsea broke the news that they were ready to bring in Diego Costa, Mendes made a lion-to-mouth offer of €300,000 a week to Atletico Madrid.

Although Atletico Madrid does not want to lose, or "sell" Diego Costa, who has been in great form this season, if Mendes' conditions are agreed, it is difficult to guarantee that the rest of the team will make the same unreasonable demands.

In desperation, Atletico Madrid had no choice but to temporarily stall Diego Costa's contract renewal negotiations.

In fact, Mendes did not expect Diego Costa to agree a contract extension with Atletico Madrid from the beginning. Although as an agent, you can take a commission from the player's salary according to the proportion agreed by both parties.

However, the commissions earned by operating player transfers are obviously much more generous than the relatively fixed "salary commission". What's more, when dealing with the transfer of a player in good form such as Diego Costa, in addition to the signing fee paid by the buying club to the player himself, an agent of Mendes' level can also receive a large signing fee.

It is precisely because of this that Mendes deliberately made an offer that Atletico Madrid could not agree to at all, in order to force the other party to sell Diego Costa to avoid the embarrassing situation of "both people and money".

However, just as Mendes' wishful thinking was about to come to fruition, Diego Costa suffered an injury against Getafe. As a result, Chelsea FC, which is preparing to buy Diego Costa next summer, has to reconsider the feasibility of this transfer. After all, in the Premier League, where physical confrontation is emphasised, strikers are far more likely to be injured than in La Liga, which is more focused on pass-and-control tactics.

Although the temporary retreat of Chelsea Football Club caught him by surprise, Mendes, who has experienced countless ups and downs, still holds the initiative.

In Mendes' view, Atletico Madrid, without Diego Costa, is still in the top five in La Liga, but it is very difficult to continue to keep pace with Barcelona. After all, even with a healthy Diego Costa, Atletico Madrid's overall strength is slightly inferior to Barcelona.

It's a pity that just when Mendes thought that even if Diego Costa was suffering from injuries now, Atletico Madrid would still take the initiative to find himself to negotiate a contract extension, Feng Quan, who had just joined the team this season, helped the team win two consecutive victories under very difficult circumstances. Not only did Atletico Madrid continue to occupy the top spot in La Liga on goal difference, but it also helped the team win five consecutive Champions League group stage games.

Although Atletico Madrid "booked" the top spot in the group in advance, the group stage in the next two rounds is basically equivalent to going through the motions. But let's not forget that a win in the Champions League group stage can be worth three times as much as a draw.

Therefore, judging from the Champions League prize money alone, the wind that single-handedly changed the entire game in the game is fully worthy of the 150,000 euros weekly salary paid by the club.

…………

In the 15th round of La Liga on November 30, the Atletico Madrid players, who had just gone through a long journey, suffered a lack of personnel in the away game against Elche (David Villa, Insua, Miranda suffered from a cold on the way back from Russia; Felipe Luiz is suspended for accumulating yellow cards), a difficult situation in which several players are not in good physical condition.

Before the start of this season's La Liga, many authoritative media in Spain put Elche, who had just been promoted to La Liga, in the queue for relegation.

However, after a period of adaptation at the beginning of the league season, Elche not only managed to draw with Bilbao, who are temporarily fifth in the table, but also defeated Valencia and Espanyol, two old La Liga powerhouses, in the eighth and ninth rounds of the league.

After 14 rounds of La Liga, Elche not only opened an eight-point gap with the teams in the relegation zone, but also temporarily ranked 10th in the standings, only four points away from the European zone.

Therefore, before the start of this game, most of the Spanish media believed that Atletico Madrid, which lacked many main players such as Diego Costa and David Villa, would be difficult to take away the three points smoothly from the heavily defended Elche team even if they had a full press.

However, less than 3 minutes into the first half of the game, Feng Quan used his actual actions to slap the media who were not optimistic about them in the face.

At that time, Elche goalkeeper Diego Rivas (Diego Rivas) drove a goal kick over the center circle and was headed straight into the front by Mario Suarez.

Elche centre-back Alberto Botia (Alberto?), who was already in a good position, was already in a good position. Botía), but under the interference of Alda Turan, it has risen to the top.

Despite Alberto Botia's rise to the top, David Loban, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the wind, was in charge of keeping an eye on David. Lombán), if he can step forward to receive the ball at the first time, he can still get the ball first.

Unfortunately, when Alberto Botia came to the top, David Loban did not quickly run to the landing point of the football, but hesitated a little before rushing in the direction of the landing point of the football.

However, just when David Loban was less than 2 meters away from the ball bouncing off the ground, Feng Quan, who had been cruising on the left side of the field a few seconds earlier, stabbed the ball in the direction of the Elche team in the direction of the penalty area before David Loban.

Then, after leaving all the defenders behind, Feng Quan dribbled to the edge of the penalty area, and once again used a pendulum pass to shake Diego Rivas out of his center of gravity, and then easily pushed the ball into the unguarded goal.

The reason for David Loban's momentary hesitation was not because of his reflexes, but because he was searching for his target, which was the exact location of Feng Quan.

It was by taking advantage of the brief hesitation of David Loban to search for his "whereabouts" that Feng Quan was able to use his superior speed advantage to erase the gap between the two sides and the football destination. 8)
