Chapter 90: Public Opinion

In the midst of the buzzing reports, Real Madrid shone in the middle and late stages of the season, and arguably the most important contributor to the title, Van Bizhuang, offered a lucrative new contract, which was also revealed by reporters.

According to common sense, Fan Bizhuang was transferred last summer, and he has not finished a season with Real Madrid, so it is impossible to get a new contract so quickly, after all, the contract period at that time was signed for three years, and there are still two years to go, even if Fan Bizhuang performed well and made great contributions to the team, at most it is to repair and add to the original contract, and there will be no completely new contract - and even if the salary is raised, it is impossible to be promoted to the top of the team overnight. This has nothing to do with the value factor of the players, after all, every team is a small river, and the original old salary results cannot be broken because of one person, otherwise it may cause disharmony within the team.

But the situation of Fan Bizhuang is different, first, the performance of Fan Bizhuang this season is indeed phenomenal, the whole world football can not find a more brilliant player than him, the second and most important point, the reason for Fan Bizhuang's transfer from Villarreal is quite dramatic, and at that time this reproduction also caused a big sensation in Iberia, and his contract with Real Madrid has long been no secret.

It's no problem to sign a contract for three years, but the salary package is completely inconsistent with Fan Bizhuang's identity as the "king of a small town", just the annual salary of Real Madrid's second mid-range, not to mention Fan Bizhuang's amazing performance in the past two seasons, with his magical record of equaling Altafini in the Champions League last season, which can be called impossible to catch up, and the crazy performance of dominating the top four, his value and salary are definitely more than this.

It can be said that if it weren't for Fan Bizhuang's original intention to "escape" from the sad place, he would not have been able to accept such treatment, and for many media and fans, such treatment would have been a little unfair to Fan Bizhuang.

The issue of remuneration and treatment is put aside, and there is another issue in this contract that cannot be ignored, that is, liquidated damages.

The original situation was a bit special, Real Madrid's purchase of Fan Bizhuang may be due to competitive considerations, and also has the reason for Fan Bizhuang's fame and influence, and Pellegrini also named him to bring his lover with him, so Real Madrid's purchase of Fan Bizhuang more or less has some "gambling" nature.

So the previous liquidated damages were not high, only 40 million euros.

With Van Bizhuang's previous form, 40 million euros is a lot of money, at least not too many teams will be willing to pay that amount for a player who is unbelievably in the doldrums.

But now looking at the performance of the reborn Fan Bizhuang, people will feel that 40 million is really too cheap, and there is almost no difference between liquidated damages and no liquidated damages - if 40 million euros can take away such a phenomenal superstar, then countless teams will rush to it.

Therefore, Real Madrid's move to re-offer the contract for Fan Bizhuang, who has just joined, is reasonable. The increase in salary is just a manifestation of showing favor to Fan Bizhuang, and most importantly, they do not want to lose Fan Bizhuang, or rather, they do not want to lose Fan Bizhuang at the "price of cabbage".

"Real Madrid have offered Fan a brand new contract, which is said to be a real superstar's contract!"

"I don't know what the specific annual salary will be?"

"Someone has already disclosed it online...... Oh my God, an annual salary of 4.8 million euros! Well, this is the highest annual salary in Real Madrid! It seems that Real Madrid has fully realized the importance of Van to the team! ”

"Ha, I think this annual salary can be higher, there is no need to say how good Fan is, what I want to say is, if Fan continues to play like this, will he be far from being awarded Mr. Ballon d'Or? An annual salary of 4.8 million euros, is this much for the world's top stars? Not much! ”

"But Real Madrid have shown their sincerity! I don't think Van has a reason to refuse! It's a reflection of identity and status, and by signing him, Van is one of the most influential players at the Bernabeu! ”

"Most Influential Player...... One? No, no, no, I think that after Raul gets old, Van will become the new standard-bearer and leader of Real Madrid, and at that time, the word 'one' can be removed! ”

"I have to say, this is a big contract, not only is the annual salary huge, you see, there is also the image right, Real Madrid also has a big concession...... It's an unbelievable contract, and if I were a player, I wouldn't hesitate to sign my name on it! ”

The content of the new contract was exposed on the Internet by "people with intentions", and the fans did not delve into how this document, which should be a "confidential" document of the Real Madrid club, appeared on the Internet, and most of the media and fans were attracted by the content and terms of the contract, and they were amazed by such a generous reward.

However, there are also those who focus on the last clause in the contract.

"Two hundred million euros! O my God! Am I dazzled? ”

"No dazzle, in fact, I was also frightened - you read that right, yes, the liquidated damages are 200 million euros!"

"Does that mean that if a club wants to take Fan, then they have to pay 200 million euros – if any club does that, then Fan...... He will be the number one value in world football! Number one superstar! ”

"Two hundred million? Is it a lot? I think Real Madrid is right to do this, Van is such a good player, he is the most unique one in the world, 200 million, I don't think it's enough! At least a billion! No one can afford to pay this sky-high price, so Fan will stay at the Bernabeu forever! ”

"200 million, it is estimated that it can scare off a lot of coveting teams, right? Real Madrid is protecting their future leader, and this move is almost announcing to the whole world - Fan, we will not sell! Unless, you crush us to death at an impossible price! ”

Everyone was talking about the salary and sky-high liquidated damages of this contract, but then a new news was exposed on the Internet, which made all reporters and fans stunned.

"Van seems to have his own considerations, and he is not accepting a new lucrative contract. Real Madrid's management is actively communicating with Fan himself and his agent team, hoping to persuade him, and some Real Madrid insiders revealed that Real Madrid is willing to increase the annual salary of the contract again, and if Fan can accept it, they are willing to make all efforts...... Unfortunately, the negotiations are not going well, and Van still seems to be unhappy with the salary package and wants more ......"

It was revealed by a "person familiar with the matter" that as soon as such remarks were posted on the Internet, there was a burst of exclamation and uproar.

"Oh my God, with such a lucrative contract, Fan is not even satisfied? Does he have such a big appetite? Does he want to get the world's No. 1 salary? But how is this possible! ”

"I don't know why Fan refused to sign a new contract, is it really because of lack of greed and wants more? …… His ability is fine, but he hasn't really won the world's top individual honor! Maybe in the future, but now...... Real Madrid can't be such a wrongdoer, and can't give in to a certain player! ”

"Does Van want to leave the Bernabeu? But...... He's only joined Real Madrid, less than a year ago? ”

"I suddenly questioned Fan's character - when he was at his worst and worst, it was Real Madrid who gave him the opportunity to continue playing, it was the Bernabeu who gave him trust, and now, he would choose to turn his back on his 'benefactor' in order to get more golden balls, which is really ...... Has this world been completely corrupted by money? ”

"If he is not greedy enough, he may have excellent football skills, but he is destined to not be respected and recognized by the whole world."

The trend of public opinion on the Internet has changed rapidly, just in a short period of time, Fan Bizhuang has changed from an important hero who led Real Madrid to win the league championship to an image of a greedy Grande, although the news disclosed on the Internet has not been confirmed, but it is obvious that under the rhythm of people with intentions, criticism and doubts are increasing.

Under such circumstances, Fan Bizhuang did not come out for the first time to "refute the rumors" and refute them, and he remained silent for the time being.

However, although he did not speak out, his friends couldn't sit still, and several Real Madrid teammates who were closest to him all stepped forward to "fight for grievances" for him.

C. Ronaldo posted this paragraph on his Twitter: "Ha, some people say that Fan is a very greedy guy? Maybe so, because this guy is stingy in private, and he never takes the initiative to pay the bill every time he goes out to dinner. Ha, he's very frugal. But I know why he is like this, because his money is used for public welfare, which I admire him, at least I can't. So, Fan is a money-hungry Grande? Nonsense! ”

Kaka "defended" his friend in an interview program: "Van is a very good person, both on and off the field, he is an impeccable person, he has excellent skills, he is willing to help others, yes, he was the one who gave me encouragement and confidence in my most difficult times...... So, please calm down, such a person with good moral character makes any decision for his own reasons. ”

Raul: "I've read the news on the Internet, and it's clear that it's not true. Insiders? Ha, as the captain of the team, I don't even know such a thing, the so-called insiders, I think it's just a prank by some people! As for Fan ...... He's a great player, a great team-mate and we're very good friends in private. I believe in him and trust him unconditionally! Because in many ways, even though I was older than him, he was my role model! ”
