A win in the group stage will be rewarded with 200,000 yuan, a win in the semi-final will be rewarded with 300,000 yuan, and a win in the final will be rewarded with 800,000 yuan, and there will also be a lot of rewards for winning streaks and goal difference......

Until dinner, the players were still discussing their opponents in the group stage and looking forward to the big prize money to come. Of course, they are not arrogant enough to ignore all opponents, in fact, two of the eight games have been eliminated by them, the first game with the provincial city of Mingyuan and the fifth game with Qingdao Double Happiness is definitely no hope, these two games lose two goals is the right thing, and the prize money will naturally fall on the remaining six teams - win one game, each player can get almost 10,000 yuan, if you can win three or two games, Coupled with the salary subsidy allowance that everyone deserves, this year's second division league is not in vain.

"There should be no problem with the ball in Guangdong Pearl! They are a grass platform team that was formed in the first half of the year, and the team members are all goods that others don't want, and the one who can shout their names is You You of the former Shenyang Army, and then the goalkeeper ......" The teammates who spoke narrowed their eyes and looked up and thought for a while, "What's that guy's name?" - The name is on my lips, and I can't remember it. is the goalkeeper of the Hubei team who can delay time before. ”

"Zhou Qisong." Zhang Chi reminded him.

"Yes, that's him!" The teammate yelled and knocked on the table, "That guy's ability to guard the goal is not very good, the ability to delay time is one by one, sweat and drink water and swing the ball and then add injury, just take a newspaper to make it convenient!" The last time our team met them at the National Games, and when the game was about to end, they were still ahead, and the guy started to perform without even putting on makeup - he was gently rubbed on my shoulder," he gestured with his hand on his shoulder, "Leng is holding his calf and rolling on the ground several times!" He spat indignantly, "You didn't see that scene at that time, and he almost squeezed out some tears!" If it weren't for my teammates dragging me, I would have gone up and kicked him hard......"

Gao Jinsong, who had been sitting next to him and hadn't spoken much, smiled. It can be seen that the teammate who spoke has an unforgettable memory of this goalkeeper.

"Our match with Chongqing Sanpu is also five or five waves, and whoever loses and wins depends on luck." Zhang Chi brought the topic back to the prediction of the team's prospects, "Anhui Red Star and Kunming Rainbow are not much better than us......"

Gao Jinsong, who is still relatively unfamiliar with the names of these clubs, nodded with everyone.

He actually didn't agree with the truth in Zhang Chi's mouth that "everyone is about the same level". Obviously, even Zhang Chi knows about things, and other clubs will not be unaware, and they also have a lot of time to prescribe the right medicine, if they can't even make up for these tactical shortcomings, then what do you need the coach to do? But he didn't say what he thought, after all, at this time, he and his teammates needed these good words to encourage themselves.

On the way back to the dormitory, the players were still repeatedly discussing which games could be won with a little perseverance. As for the group qualification and the semi-finals and finals in Chengdu, no one dares to think about it at the moment.

************

Gao Jinsong went back to the dormitory one step ahead of everyone, and when Zhang Chi pushed open the door of the room, he had already taken a shower and changed into clean clothes, put his two long legs on the edge of the bed and sat on the sofa to watch CCTV's news broadcast.

Zhang Chi was a little surprised and asked, "You're not going to practice tonight?" ”

The team has just been in order for a few days, and every evening there are always some players who will take advantage of the cool weather to invite each other to practice on the court for a while, but since Guan Mingshan and Chen Mingcan, the eldest brothers on the team, sneered at this matter twice, this conscious training has gradually become unattended, and only Gao Jinsong is still insisting. Chen Mingcan and the others couldn't figure out Gao Jinsong's origins, so they didn't arrange his affairs in front of others. But what's wrong today, Gao Jinsong didn't go to practice, nor did he go to the gym to practice strength?

Gao Jinsong explained with a smile: "It's time to compete, and it would be too cost-effective to get injured these days." He didn't say anything more important. The upcoming group stage is a tournament system, from early August to mid-September, there are eight games in less than 40 days, such a dense intensity of the game is simply an ordeal for the veterans, not to mention that most of the games start in the afternoon, at this time the sultry weather will consume more physical strength of the players, so by then he will definitely have a lot of opportunities to play, if he can fight again or something, then his future road will be much easier...... So he has to save his energy now for the next races.

Zhang Chi didn't seem to care about what he said, sat on the edge of the bed and kicked off his slippers, leaned back on the pillow and futon and smoked a cigarette, and sighed for a long time.

Gao Jinsong glanced at him from the corner of his eye and continued to watch his TV.

He knew why Zhang Chi was sad. Similar to his own situation, the Guangdong army team that cultivated Zhang Chi had disappeared a few years ago, and after looking around for a team to receive him without results, he threw the personnel relationship to the Beijing Talent Exchange Center, and then embarked on a wandering part-time job with a blanket on his back - he was the main striker of the Jiangxi Provincial Football Team in the National Peasant Games the year before last, and he played for the Guangxi team at the National Youth Championship at the beginning of last year, and he had already worn the No. 17 jersey of Tianjin Xunchi at the beginning of the league. He also scored a goal and scored three points for Tianjin in the third round of A B, if he hadn't been seriously injured in training, maybe he would have played in Tianjin A League by now. He was so unlucky, a small puddle on the training ground made him lie on the hospital bed for half a year, and what was even more unfortunate was that his contract with Tianjin Xunchi did not have a clause on the payment and compensation of medical expenses during the injury, and after many times of asking for no result, he had to grit his teeth and scrape together the money by himself - he couldn't spend his best time on fighting with the club, not to mention that it was not clear who would lose and who would win in the end...... He came to the New Era Club because he had a three-month mentor-apprentice relationship with head coach Zheng Changsheng, and also because the second division club where he trained with the team before was not authentic, and those people were afraid that he would be injured for too long, so they only gave him a living allowance every month, but they didn't give him a solid contract......

Zhang Chi lit another cigarette, stared at the TV with drooping eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the group stage schedule on the coffee table for a while. He stared at the thin piece of paper, as if to carve a hole in it with his gaze, or to set it on fire and burn it to ashes. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and let out a long breath.

Gao Jinsong, who was sitting on the sofa, also sighed in his heart.

They both know - no! It's the whole team that knows that this year's season for New Era is over, from the moment the divisions and fixtures of the Second Division are announced. For Sun Junshan and other club officials, it was a matter of how to explain to the shareholders after forty days; For coaches like Zheng Changsheng and Dai Zhenguo, it is a question of how not to lose too ugly; For Guan Mingshan and Chen Mingcan, who are about to retire, it is a question of how to maximize their economic interests; For Zhang Chi and Gao Jinsong, these eight games not only have to find a way to spend more money, but also have to take out 12 points of strength to plan for the future - the two of them are still young, they have to continue to play, whether there is a contract next year, what kind of contract can they have, maybe it depends on eight games......

Two or three knocks on the door interrupted the silence in the room, and then Chen Mingcan walked in.

Gao Jinsong hurriedly got up to greet the team's eldest brother, but Zhang Chi still leaned on the bed and didn't move, just asked Gao Jinsong to hand one of his cigarettes to Chen Mingcan - he is the main striker of the team, and he doesn't need to look at anyone's face, besides, he is righteous, and there are three or five old teammates on the team who have known each other before, so no matter how domineering Chen Mingcan is, he has to give him some face.

Before Chen Mingcan could sit down firmly in the sofa, he asked bluntly: "What do you think of the reward method that was just announced by the team?" ”

Zhang Chi frowned and said, "It's okay." Last year, Tianjin Centrino rushed to the A competition, and the prize money was not more than this. He didn't know what Chen Mingcan meant for a while.

"That was last year, and I'm talking now!" Chen Mingcan asked reluctantly, "What do you think of the reward method that the club said?" ”

Zhang Chi didn't think about it. He thought for a while and said: "The prize money is still quite generous, if you can really win one or two games, with the appearance fee, each person can also share 10,000 yuan." He glanced at Chen Mingcan, who looked blank, and then said, "But it doesn't matter if there is this bonus or not, as far as our team's current situation is concerned, you may not think we can win three games?" ”

Chen Mingcan, who had a gloomy face, glanced at Gao Jinsong, who was sitting next to him watching TV.

Zhang Chi understood the subtext of Chen Mingcan's expression at a glance, and said, "Don't look at Xiao Gao." He's not a fool, so he doesn't know the state of our own team? Brother Chen, the two of us are not as good as you, you can hang up your boots this year after you kick it, Xiao Gao and I have to continue to find food in this pot," he stopped, and only when he met Chen Mingcan's eyes did he smile and said, "Brother Chen can take care of us more." ”

Chen Mingcan, who has long been an old Jianghu, immediately understood the meaning of these words, and he said with a haha: "Everyone is scooping rice in a pot to eat, and if there is me, there will naturally be everyone." As he spoke, his expression that had been able to wring out water since he entered the door was finally relieved, and Zhang Chi inadvertently reminded him that what was lost on the court could be recovered from outside the court. But that's not what he meant when he came to Zhang Chi.

He asked, "Do you have any friends in other second division clubs?" ”

Zhang Chi nodded.

"Do you know how these teams are rewarded this year?"

"I don't know! But you can ask someone right away. Zhang Chi immediately sat up and reached out to grab the phone. He already knew the reason why Chen Mingcan was looking for him.

Chen Mingcan shook his head: "No need to ask. He put out the fire of the cigarette roll with his fingers with a wooden face, threw the crumpled cigarette butt into the garbage on the wall, and then twisted two fingers full of black ash back and forth, and said lightly, "Just now, a friend of Guangdong Mingzhu and I passed the gas, and their winning bonus is 400,000, a draw of 150,000, a goal difference of 100,000, and a score of 30,000 ......."

What the?!

Zhang Chi and Gao Jinsong were dumbfounded.

Chen Mingcan also ignored these two guys who were so surprised that their faces were a little out of shape, and continued to talk to themselves: "I asked my acquaintances in the provincial capital Mingyuan, and Mingyuan gave a higher reward, and the reward for winning a game was 500,000!" …… Qingdao Double Happiness is also the price code......"

This series of numbers made Gao Jinsong feel dizzy when he sat on the sofa, and his ears were buzzing. He could no longer have imagined that the prize money for winning a game would climb to such heights! When he participated in the provincial team, even if he participated in important national competitions, the prize money for winning the key games was only three or five thousand yuan, and it was still dozens of players in the team who led the coach to share it together, but now in a game in the group stage of the second division, the prize money is six or seven hundred thousand...... A team like the provincial city of Mingyuan can't win six or seven games in the group stage, if it is calculated like this, Mingyuan Club can't take out millions as bonuses? Those Mingyuan players kicked out of the group stage, and they all had to carry more than 100,000 or 200,000?

As soon as he thought of this, remorse and pain welled up in his heart almost at the same time. Ay! Shouldn't he lend the money so impulsively, or should he go to the provincial capital Mingyuan first to try his luck, in case he is taken by Mingyuan? As long as you can earn this money, even if you don't play football in the future, you can live smoothly for many years......

What's more, this is only the group stage......

He lamented heavily in his heart. It's too late to say anything, I've put on the jersey of the new era, and I've saved the first month's salary and subsidies in the bank, and the rest is only to look at my luck and creation, only looking forward to a good performance in the game, and when the transfer market opens at the end of the year, which club will look at itself and give yourself a passable contract. He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, then slowly and silently exhaled, allowing his restless mind to return to the room.

At this time, Zhang Chi and Chen Mingcan have already talked about the key place.

Zhang Chi asked: "Do Ma Cheng and Guan Mingshan know about these things?" ”

Chen Mingcan nodded with a solemn expression. For such a major matter, he naturally had to discuss it with Ma Cheng, Guan Mingshan, and Zhang Chi also came to this matter. "Lao Guan, they also went to find someone. It's in the interest of all of us, so it's best for everyone to come forward and talk to the club. Now this reward is not a problem! The club has to be reformulated according to the standards of other clubs! Even if it can't be compared with the provincial city of Mingyuan, it has to be on par with the Pearl of Guangdong......"

Zhang Chi pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not appropriate to do this." The bonus needs to be raised, but this doesn't mean much to us, we have to take this opportunity to mention more important things to Sun Junshan! ”

"What's more important than a bonus?"

"Salary and appearance fee! Especially the appearance fee! ”

Chen Mingcan suddenly realized. Yes, for the team in the new era, no matter how high the bonus is, it is also a flower in the moon mirror in the water, it just looks good, but in fact, it is not a; But this salary and appearance fee are different, and if these two things are increased, it will be a real benefit. Especially the appearance fee, but it has nothing to do with winning or losing the game, it is a matter of having a share of money in the last game......

He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Chi approvingly. I didn't expect this young man to have such eyesight!

He stood up, looked at the door and walked away, and said to Zhang Chi: "I called Lao Guan and Ma Cheng to come over, and the four captains of us are here to tear up this matter first, and then go to negotiate the conditions with the club......" He saw Gao Jinsong standing up to make room for them to discuss things, and hurriedly called him, "Xiao Gao also stays." It's not something to be seen - it's all for everyone's good! If you have any good ideas or ideas, you can also talk about them, and let's discuss them together! Standing at the door, he shouted a few times towards the corridor, and when he saw an echo, he turned back to Zhang Chi and said, "How can this salary and appearance fee be increased, do you have a charter?" ”

"Wages and appearance fees should be tied together and negotiated with the club! In terms of salary, people like Gao Jinsong should get about seven or eight thousand yuan, and ordinary team members should also have five or six thousand yuan per month...... As for the four captains of us," he glanced at Ma Cheng and Guan Mingshan, who had just entered the house, "we don't have to make any more trouble for the club." ”

Guan Mingshan, whose butt had not yet sat firmly on the edge of the bed, immediately jumped up as if he was ignited by fire: "Why?!" ”

"You all have 30,000 yuan a month, and I have 18,000 yuan, both of which are half-year contracts. But you didn't ask Xiao Gao, what is his contract like? Seeing that several people turned to Gao Jinsong with questioning eyes, Zhang Chi said, "His contract will be signed to the team to play in this year's second division league - if the new era is eliminated, his contract will be automatically terminated, and his monthly salary is only four thousand and five." There are still a lot of ...... in the team with a contract like his What I mean is that players with a salary of less than 10,000 yuan on the team have to ask the club to increase a little, ranging from 35,000 to half a year. As for the player's appearance fee, it must be at least doubled, and it is the money for playing a game - the strength of our team is obvious, and we can only rely on financial incentives to gamble our luck. In these days, who is going to work hard if there is no money? ”

Guan Mingshan looked dissatisfied and was about to speak, but let Chen Mingcan take the lead: "Okay!" This is a good idea, we are discussing with the club for everyone's benefit, and naturally we must consider the majority of players first - we can't let those players who can't play suffer, and we must let the club raise their salaries first! ”

Hearing this, Guan Mingshan and Ma Cheng finally understood, it turned out that this salary increase was the hemp rope that tied all the players to a boat, and this boat was "doubling the appearance fee"......

Several people stopped, and finally Chen Mingcan said: "Then let's go and talk to everyone about this matter separately, and then everyone will go to Sun Junshan together and make their hearts clear in front of the club leaders, so that the club can also understand the current situation of the club and the thoughts of the players in time." Xiao Zhang, when do you think it is appropriate to have a showdown with the club? ”

"It's tonight! This is a matter of urgency. ”

**********

That night, the lights in several rooms on the first floor of the second building attached to the Wenhui Hotel have been on, from the beginning of several team representatives leading his teammates into his room, he has not interrupted the telephone contact with the club's major shareholders, until Sun Junshan, who has a white belly and purple lips from smoking, finally reached an agreement with the players on the new reward method and the adjustment of wages and appearance fees.

Since the bill just published yesterday afternoon is not appropriate, let it be amended; Since the remuneration given by the club is sorry for the hard work and sweat of the players, let's also revise it......

Sun Junshan, who had been suffering all night, rubbed his collapsed cheeks vigorously, and said to the satisfied players: "The club and the players need to communicate like tonight, the door of my office is open to everyone at any time, if you have any ideas and opinions, you can come to me at any time, everyone should believe that the club and I hope that our collective, our team can have a brilliant future." He sent the players who had been tossing all night to the entrance of the steps, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the players who were shouting to go back to sleep, telling them to rest, "Everyone rest assured, as long as everyone works hard, the club will definitely not treat everyone badly......

***********

On the afternoon of August 5, the group stage of the Second Division began simultaneously in four cities across the country.

On the afternoon of August 6, New Era lost to the most powerful opponent in the same group, Mingyuan, with a score of 0-3 in the first game of the group stage;

On the afternoon of August 9, New Era missed a penalty equaliser in the last minute of the game, suffered two consecutive defeats, and finished bottom of the group......

It's all normal. The New Era Club, which has only been registered for three months, does not have the strength to break into the second division.
