Chapter 72 Contract Negotiation
Ricardo sat on the lawn, taking off his socks and shin guards. There were several blood marks on his calves, as well as a few bruises, all of which were caused by the other party's black feet.
Fortunately, there were no serious injuries. He gently pressed the slightly swollen area and gasped.
Osvaldo was cheering on the sidelines, and when he noticed this scene, he suddenly felt a "grunt" in his heart, and immediately beckoned Alejandro to warm up.
After the game restarted, Licardo began to limp around the field, and the commentator also noticed it, and said worriedly: "Little Licardo seems to be injured, I don't know if it's serious?" Palmeiras' players have made a couple of big moves on a couple of occasions before, hoping that Ricardo is safe and sound. If he is injured, it will not be easy for Sao Paulo to play in the next game against Flamengo, and despite his youth, Ricardo is already an important part of Osvaldo's tactics and cannot be replaced. ”
Osvaldo quickly replaced Ricardo, who really couldn't run, had the intention of killing the thief, and had no power to return to the sky, so he didn't have any opinion on being replaced. Osvaldo beckoned him to his side and asked the team doctor to examine him.
"It's nothing, it's all hard wounds, I'll put some ice on him." Team Doctor Cruz. Oliveira said.
Osvaldo breathed a sigh of relief.
Cruz. Oliveira brought Ricardo a bucket with ice cubes in it, and asked him to put his injured leg in it, and kneaded it here and there.
"The muscles are a little tired," Oliveira looked up at Ricardo, "and you'd better cut down on training for the next week, otherwise you'll get injured easily in the next game." ”
"Got it." Ricardo frowned. It looks like the training program is going to be interrupted for a few days.
"You're usually too hardworking," Osvaldo taught, "I've told you a few times, you're so young, it's time to grow your body, you can't overtrain." ”
Ricardo was a little depressed. According to the scientific training methods of later generations, he can already receive a lot of training at this age, so if he doesn't practice now, can he wait until he is in his 20s to practice? You must know that after the age of 21, the growth rate of physical fitness will slow down, and if you want to jump higher, run faster, be stronger, and have better confrontation ability, you must start now.
If you want to assist Ronaldo to achieve hegemony under the watchful eye of Messi and Ronaldo, you can't relax for a moment.
After Ricardo came off the field, Kaka moved slightly down the road, Ricardinho went up and played in the forward midfield position, Baptista was equivalent to a B2B (box-box, meaning the penalty area to the opponent's penalty area) midfielder, with considerable coverage of activities, and Alessandro was a little behind, focusing on defense.
Palmeiras, who was scored twice in a row, was already discouraged, while Sao Paulo was in high spirits, so it was advisable to chase after the poor man and hold Palmeiras to the ground and beat him fat. Palmeiras barely fought back, and even counterattacked very little, Wagner. Lowe is still too young to handle the ball and not be able to act as a sharp knife on the counter-attack. But even he wasn't in his prime.
After more than ten minutes, Sao Paulo scored again. This time it was Kaka who scored the goal, and after taking the ball in the left area, he handed the ball to Ricardinho, who acted as a "wall" and gave the ball back a few steps in front of Kaka, helping Kaka get rid of the entanglement around him.
Kaka took the ball and went in, then shook off the last defender on the left side and hit the goal from a tight angle with his left foot, Marcos was no longer magical, he didn't save the ball, and the ball rolled into the far corner.
With a few minutes to go, Sao Paulo took the lead!
Molumbi's stands were a sea of tricolors, and the fans in São Paulo were as happy as if they had eaten ice cream on a hot day, and Kaka's name resounded throughout the stadium.
That wasn't the end of the story, as Sao Paulo were awarded a corner in stoppage time and centre-back Gyan again headed past Marcos.
The final score was fixed at 4:2, and Sao Paulo completed a stunning comeback.
This time, Osvaldo did not take Ricardo to the press conference, he brought Kaka, who scored a brace, and Fabiano, who scored the equaliser.
However, in the post-match press conference, Ricardo's name was still frequently mentioned. His performance has been unanimously recognized by professionals.
Despite not scoring or assisting directly, both of Sao Paulo's equalisers were initiated by him.
The next day, the team had a half-day rest, but Ricardo did not have a rest. Farah had rushed back to Brazil and met with him early in the morning to discuss some details about the contract.
Ricardo laid out his thoughts and thoughts, and Farah rushed to the club in high spirits for a second-round verbal battle with Leco.
The rest of the year did not go to the training, he did need to rest, and the bruises on his legs and feet also needed to recover.
In the afternoon, when he participated in the team's joint practice, Osvaldo also asked him to do individual training, which was not a punishment, but let him do some adaptive recovery training to relieve muscle fatigue.
By the time the team finished training, Farah had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time. "It's done!" "Your recent good performances have earned you a big contract. ”
Ricardo smiled: "What are the specific terms?" ”
"The contract is only for four years, and the minimum release fee is $15 million, but this release fee is only for foreign clubs. The weekly salary is R$13,000, the appearance fee is R$5,500, the goal bonus is R$2,200, the assist bonus is R$1,200, and the signing fee is R$500,000. Congratulations, little Ricardo, you're going to be a millionaire soon. ”
Licardo was in good spirits. 500,000 reais, which is equivalent to 200,000 US dollars, is also a lot of money in this era, and if you get it, your plan to enter the stock market can be started.
The appearance fee is 5,500 reais, which will be paid regardless of whether he starts or is a substitute, and the goal bonus? I played 11 games and scored nine goals. If the state does not decline, this money will be easy to earn.
In this way, by the end of the season, he will almost have a million reais in savings.
With this contract, Licardo was very satisfied. Already basically and Louis. Fabiano is level on the same level, just below Kaka, Ricardinho and captain Cheni in the team, all three of whom are current Brazil internationals, and there is no comparison between them at all.
So it was thanks to Farah's negotiation skills to get such a clause. Of course, Farah himself will definitely benefit a lot from this contract, and he will not ask about it. "Thank you, Mr. Farah, if you have time, I'll treat you to dinner, and I just want to introduce you to two people." Yang Fan had already arrived from China, and it was time to introduce him and Yang Rui to Farah.
"Dinner? Sounds good, so thank you in advance. Farah would not turn down the opportunity to get closer to Ricardo.
