Chapter 675: Four consecutive Laureus Awards
Winning the 2013/2014 Ligue 1 title eight rounds ahead of schedule sent Paris City into a frenzy.
There is no doubt that this is the first title of the year in the top five leagues, and Parisian fans have plenty of reasons to celebrate.
The team returned to the hotel that night and celebrated late, and the next day back in Paris they had a carnival with the fans at the Parc des Princes before taking two days off.
On March 25, in the quarterfinals of the French Cup, Paris Saint-Germain faced Guingamp at home.
Although the frenzied celebrations of the early victory left the players with some lack of concentration, Grand Paris defeated Guingamp 3-1 with a strong overall strength to advance to the semi-finals of the French Cup.
After the match, Loh flew to Asia to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to attend the 2014 Laureus Sports Awards.
There is no doubt that Lu Wenbin once again won the Laureus Sportsman of the Year Award, winning the Laureus Award for the fourth time in a row.
With Lu Wenbin's current status and continuous perverted performance, except for the Confederations Cup, which was limited to the strength of the Chinese team and did not win the best player, the other best athletes that Lu Wenbin can participate in are basically nothing else.
March 28, the 31st round of Ligue 1, Nice VS Paris Saint-Germain.
Prior to this match, Blanco would have been prepared to drop the league.
Although it is a pity to give up the winning streak and the unbeaten streak, the league has already won the championship anyway, and the next game is the Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea, Blanco feels that he can give up the league and try to protect the Champions League.
But the management of Grand Paris does not think so, especially from the will of the Qatar Investment Authority.
Seeing Paris Saint-Germain's smooth performance this season, the management feels that it is entirely possible for Paris to win the treble this year under the leadership of Lu Wenbin.
As a result, Lu Wenbin will leave Paris next season.
As long as Lu Wenbin leaves, Grand Paris will never have the opportunity to win the championship again in the season.
In the case of the triple crown, the undefeated championship in the season, and even the six crowns, the team is the best, and only by winning the championship in the season and not losing a point can Grand Paris achieve the effect of truly becoming famous around the world.
Therefore, although Grand Paris has won the championship eight rounds in advance, the top management still gave Blanco a precautionary shot before the game, requiring him to go all out to win, not to give up the league, and strive to win the championship in the season.
From Blanco's point of view, this is a bit more than worth the cost.
But a word from the management struck him.
As long as he leads Grand Paris to win the championship this season, it will not only be the glory of Grand Paris, but also the glory of Blanco as the head coach, and it will be the most glorious season of his coaching career.
It has to be said that Blanco was impressed by this prospect.
Therefore, although the next game is the Champions League, in the 31st round of the league, Blanco still sent most of the main players.
However, Lu Wenbin, who participated in the Laureus Awards ceremony and flew back and forth between Europe and Southeast Asia, did not start, but sat on the bench.
Without Lu Wenbin to organize the attack, coupled with the fear of the next Champions League, the players were a little afraid to fight, resulting in a 0-0 match with Nice in the first half.
Seeing this, in the 65th minute of the second half, Blanco had to send Lu Wenbin.
But Lu Wenbin is not a real iron man, after flying back and forth to Southeast Asia, he didn't have enough rest, he was really tired and in poor condition.
But despite this, Lu Wenbin came in the 85th minute with a shocking pass, deceived the Nice defenders, and assisted Cavani to score the only goal of the game.
With a brilliant assist from Lu Wenbin on the field, PSG took a 1-0 win away from home and continued their winning streak this season.
After the game, Blanco was bombarded by the Parisian media and fans.
One of the criticisms of everyone is that Grand Paris has already won the league ahead of schedule, Blanco did not let the team prepare for the next Champions League game, and sent most of the main players to play away leagues, and even sent Lu Wenbin, who flew back and forth from Southeast Asia in the second half.
What most Parisian media and fans want more than the Champions League, not an illusory season to win the title.
That one doesn't have a trophy.
Only the Champions League has a trophy, and it is the most dazzling trophy in European football at club level.
Not only the media and fans, but also the players have complained about Blanco's approach, which they feel is not very wise.
Only Lu Wenbin guessed that Blanco may have been under pressure from the club's hierarchy.
Because Lu's unique contract makes it possible to leave after only one season, the club's hierarchy wants to squeeze all of his workforce and try to get enough trophies and records during Lu's season.
They want to win the Champions League, and they don't want to give up on winning all seasons.
Lu Wenbin is mentally prepared for this, as long as he is physically fit, he doesn't mind leading the team to a unique record.
But if there is a problem with fitness, he will definitely give priority to playing in the Champions League and the French Cup, and he has already won the league games, even if he is sent on the field, don't expect him to give it his all.
Although with Lu Wenbin's physical fitness, there are not many such cases, but Lu Wenbin already has a plan in his heart.
The equity negotiations with the British club have entered the final stage, and the equity share and the conditions for increasing holdings in the future have been negotiated, but Lu Wenbin's salary and bonuses are not easy to determine.
Because Lu Wenbin will be both a shareholder and an employee in the future, the other party hopes that Lu Wenbin's salary will be lower, but Lu Wenbin and Mendes disagree.
Just because Lu Wenbin has become a shareholder cannot reduce his value.
This is Lu Wenbin's face and signboard.
Many private business owners give themselves an annual salary of millions or tens of millions, and they can't work without money because the company is their own.
The boss's labor is also counted as salary, and this expenditure is also included in the cost of business operation.
The other is that the club is currently in the Championship and has not entered the Premier League. Only if you enter the Premier League will the contract between the two parties come into effect.
Because Lu Wenbin is too perverted, in order to avoid match-fixing and tacit cooperation, UEFA has restricted Lu Wenbin's acquisition action: as long as Lu Wenbin becomes a shareholder of a European team, he can only play for that team during his European play.
Therefore, this negotiation can only take effect until that club is promoted to the Premier League.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lu Wenbin to play in the Championship, the second tier of the United Kingdom.
Fortunately, the club is currently in the Championship with a strong momentum, not only in first place, but also in a huge lead, and it is very likely that they will be promoted several rounds earlier in the near future.
