Chapter 470: Renewal Negotiations

Since Feng Quan was still in China, his agent team had already learned that many European giants had asked Atletico Madrid to buy Feng Quan.

Therefore, even though the preparation for the establishment of Wande Football School is at the most critical stage, Zhao Shijie, as the core figure of the "Wind Team", still arrived in Madrid on the same flight as Fengquan.

And the day after Feng Quan returned to Madrid after completing the national team's game assignment, Paul Fortre, the general manager of Atletico Madrid, expressed his intention to increase his salary and renew his contract.

Since Feng Quan has no intention of leaving Atletico Madrid for the time being, the negotiation process between the two sides on salary is relatively smooth.

At the beginning of the negotiations, Zhao Shijie first made an offer of 150,000 euros per week to Atletico Madrid. Although this figure is almost double Feng Quan's current weekly salary, considering Feng Quan's impressive performance in La Liga this season, and his "one-of-a-kind" "double-double" stats in Europe (11 La Liga appearances, 11 goals and 12 assists), he does deserve such a salary.

You must know that Messi, who scored 13 goals and provided 5 assists in the same period, has a weekly salary of 300,000 euros. And Ronaldo, who scored 15 goals, has a weekly salary of 330,000 euros, the world's No. 1.

Therefore, in terms of the player's personal data alone, Zhao Shijie's offer of 150,000 euros should be said to be very fair.

However, for Atletico Madrid, even if Zhao Shijie's weekly new request is not high, due to the different positions of the two parties, Paul Fortre still did not immediately agree to Zhao Shijie's weekly salary request.

After some bargaining between the two sides, Atletico Madrid finally agreed to increase Feng Quan's weekly salary from 80,000 euros to 135,000 euros. However, the "bonus" salary in terms of appearance fees, goals and assists remains the same.

In fact, before the two sides began negotiations, Zhao Shijie's psychological expectation for Fengxin's weekly salary was between 10 and 120,000 euros. After all, although today's Atletico Madrid club is dressed in a coat of "European giants", in fact, their economic strength is not far behind Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United and other real European giants.

Therefore, after Atletico Madrid was willing to increase Feng Quan's weekly salary to 135,000 euros, Zhao Shijie readily agreed to the other party's request to sign a 5-year contract with Feng Quan.

After determining the weekly salary and related bonuses, the two parties began to negotiate the liquidated damages of Fengquan.

Because Fengquan's salary increase has reached nearly 7%, Zhao Shijie proposed that the amount of liquidated damages should be increased to 85 million euros with reference to Fengquan's salary increase.

However, Atletico Madrid, which is "very generous" in terms of salary, not only did not approve of the amount of liquidated damages proposed by Zhao Shijie, but also proposed an amount of 150 million euros that was unacceptable in all aspects.

As a result, when the two sides had huge differences, Fengquan's contract renewal negotiations immediately reached an impasse.

Because when Feng Quan and Zhao Shijie arrived in Madrid on the flight, it was already the evening of November 21 local time. Therefore, when the contract renewal negotiations between Feng Quan and Atletico Madrid were deadlocked, Paul Fortre instructed the team's coach Diego Simeone to temporarily exclude Feng Quan from the team's starting lineup, in order to force Feng Quan to agree to the liquidated damages clause proposed by the club.

Although Diego Simeone himself admires Feng Quan's individual ability, he also has a lot of complaints about the club's approach of forcing Feng Quan to "conform". But as the manager of the team, you still have to be on the side of the club.

Therefore, Feng Quan, who did not start against Granada due to a sprained ankle, was once again on the bench against Getafe on November 23.

Although some reporters questioned Diego Simeone's exclusion from the starting line-up before the game, the Argentine coach responded with the argument that "Feng Quan has just experienced two international games and after nearly 20 hours of long-distance flight, his fitness is not very good".

Feng Quan's physical condition is indeed not very ideal, but players from South American countries such as Felipe Luiz, Miranda, and Godin of the Atletico Madrid team also have the problem of "poor physical condition" because of their participation in national team events. However, all three of them were included in the starting line-up against Getafe.

In fact, Feng Quanquan knew very well in his heart the real reason why he was on the bench. However, Feng Quan did not show any dissatisfaction with the club's approach. After all, his outstanding performance in the national team competition has attracted the attention of a large number of European giants.

Moreover, for top European giants such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich, spending only 50 million euros to buy "outside the speed" that can win "double-double data" is definitely a worthwhile reinforcement.

Therefore, it is Atletico Madrid that really needs to be anxious now, not the wind that many European giants are vying to introduce.

…………

Although more than half of the players in Atletico Madrid have fitness problems of varying degrees due to the national team's match day. However, ahead of the game against Getafe, both coach Diego Simeone and club general manager Paul Fortre thought the team would easily win against opponents who were inferior to them.

However, after the game really started, the away team Getafe used their physical advantage to launch a ferocious press against Atletico Madrid in the front.

Although Atletico Madrid has technical players such as Alda Turan and Koke in the team, so as not to lose actual control of the midfield, they still have a little less speed to handle the ball than before in the face of the ferocious pressing of the Getafe players due to the fact that they have just played in the national team.

Therefore, the forward pressing of the Getafe team still had a great impact on the offensive organization of Atletico Madrid.

If it's just that the offensive organization is not as smooth as before, the impact on Atletico Madrid is not very big, after all, their best tactic is always defensive counter-attack, rather than Barcelona's passing and cutting coordination, or even "passing the ball directly into the opponent's goal" style of play.

However, the slowness of the players' handling of the ball due to poor fitness has been a painful blow to Atletico Madrid.

In the 13th minute of the first half, Ciprian Andrei Maria and Pedro Leon pressed on the right side of the front field, causing Felipe Luis to pass the ball directly to the feet of Ngel Lafita Castillo.

Due to the fact that Atletico Madrid was in an attacking state before, the formation of the team at this time was not very close. Therefore, it was not until Lafeta dribbled to the edge of the box that he was intercepted by central defender Miranda.

In the face of Miranda's head-on interception, Lafita did not choose to force a breakthrough, but passed the ball to Pedro León, who was cruising on the right side. After bypassing Miranda, continue towards the goal.

Pedro León took a step towards the baseline and then sent a straight cross into the middle of the box.

Immediately afterwards, Lafita, who was inserted at high speed, jumped high, and pressed Miranda, who was following closely, to smash the ball directly into the upper right corner of the goal...... 2k reading web
