Kader Evans was finally pulled away by his teammates, and Zhang Guan still didn't remember when he sinned against this Kader Evans. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With Zhang Guan's current identity, unless there is really a big contradiction, he will not find trouble for Zhang Guan in such a public occasion. What's more, Cader Evans is also a veteran rider who has been famous for many years, and he is also quite famous in road cycling, he is not a stunned young man in his twenties, and he must go through the brain to do things, how can he come to find trouble for no reason?

"Could it be some misunderstanding?" Zhang Guan thought it would be better to inquire.

At this moment, Gilbert of the Belgian Lotto team walked over, and Zhang Guan immediately won.

Philippe Gilbert is the main driver of the Belgian Lotto team, and he is 28 years old, which is the golden age of a confident cyclist. Zhang Guan will now wear the Belgian Lotto jersey for the first stage of the Tour de France, and he and Gilbert are also temporary teammates.

"Philip, how much do you know about Caddle-Evans?" Zhang Guan asked.

"What did you mention about him?" Gilbert reacted a little strangely when he heard Evans' name, and then he said: "Evans is an Australian, a mountain biker by training, who has won several mountain bike World Cups, and then switched to road racing, and the results are also very good. He finished eighth in the Tour de France in 2005, fourth in 2006 and runner-up in both 2007 and 2008. In 2009, he won the World Road Cycling Championships, and now he is in good shape, so he can be regarded as a favorite to win the Tour de France. How, do you know him? ”

Zhang Guan shook his head: "I don't know, but he seems to have some opinions about me." But I can't remember when I sinned against him. ”

Zhang Guan told Gilbert what had just happened.

"That's what it looks like!" Gilbert smiled slightly: "You didn't offend him, it was we who offended him." ”

"You guys?" Zhang Guan asked in surprise.

"I'm talking about our team." Gilbert explains: "Evans was a driver for our Belgian Lotto team last year and has just made the switch to the American BMC racing team this year. ”

"Evans has a conflict with your team?" Zhang Guan immediately asked.

Gilbert nodded: "Actually, the main general of our team was not me, but Evans, and his two Tour de France runner-up was won when we were in the team. Evans' contract expired last year, and the team were willing to renew him, but the price has not been negotiated. Evans asked for a salary increase, and the team said that the salary increase was okay, but not too much, and the amount Evans asked for was a bit large for the team, so the negotiation fell apart in the end. Evans switched to the American BMC Racing Team. ”

"Is the BMC Racing Team in the United States offering a higher price?" Zhang Guan asked with a smile.

"No, the price they gave wasn't the number Evans wanted." Gilbert shook his head and continued: "You know, cycling is very competitive in Europe, although there will be twenty or thirty sponsors for the continental professional teams, and there will be more sponsors for the professional teams, but the daily expenses of the teams are also very large. In fact, the economic state of each team is not very rich, we can't give it to the Belgian Lotto, and other teams can't give it either. ”

"Evans is resentful of your team because the lottery team won't meet his demand for a raise." Zhang Guan nodded slightly, and then said, "But this has nothing to do with me, right?" I'm wearing your team's jersey, but I'm not a driver of your team, I'm just a guest at the event, and if Evans wants to complain, he can't find me, right? Twenty or thirty drivers in your team, forty or fifty staff members, can't he deal with me as an outsider? It doesn't make sense. ”

"I think it's because of the 100,000 euros that I bid for yesterday." Gilbert shrugged: "Evans should think that the team would rather spend 100,000 euros on you as a guest than give him a raise, so he will resent you." I'm so sorry to have implicated you. ”

Zhang Guan suddenly understood, and in this case, it made sense. When it comes to a matter of dignity and face, it cannot be measured by sharing money.

Many big-name athletes value their own face. For example, if an athlete with an annual salary of 10 million is offered an annual salary of 5 million, it can even be regarded as an insult, and the athlete will definitely be unhappy.

For example, "The Flash" Wade, who has played for the Miami Heat for many years, originally planned to live in the Heat for the rest of his life, but the Heat team was only willing to give Wade a contract of 10 million a year, which is insulting to Wade in anyone's eyes. When this kind of thing happens, even if there is no other team to open a contract, Wade will not sign it, this is the dignity of athletes. In the end, Wade also went to the Chicago Bulls for 2 years and 47.5 million, leaving the Miami Heat, who had played for more than ten years.

And now Evans should be in this situation, he feels that the Belgian lotto team would rather give money to Zhang Guan than give himself a salary increase, he feels insulted, he even thinks that in the eyes of the lotto team, Zhang Guan's value is greater than his old courtier who has served for many years, so he even complains about Zhang Guan.

Moreover, Evans is Australian, and the country is also an anti-China pioneer, especially on the sports field, and Australian athletes often discriminate against Chinese athletes. Chinese people are more familiar with the swimming Horton, and his behavior has even been "affirmed" by most of the Australian media.

"I've been in the wrong wrong! But this Evans, too, has to teach him a lesson, didn't he say that the Chinese will not be able to win the Tour de France championship in a hundred years? Didn't he say that China's bicycle level is poor? I'll show you tomorrow, the kingdom of bicycles is not blown! Zhang Guan thought of this and found the skills related to cycling in the system.

……

"Kadeer, you've gone too far today." Borghardt spoke.

"I just can't get angry! It's not that the Belgian Lotto is out of money, but they'd rather throw it at Zhang Guan, an irrelevant person, than give me a raise! I've been working for them for many years, and I'm not as important as a layman. This is simply an insult to my character! Evans spoke.

"Then you shouldn't trouble Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan is just a guest, and the 100,000 euros did not fall into Zhang Guan's pocket, but ultimately to be donated to Africa to fight malaria. Borghardt spoke.

"I just see that Chinese unhappy!" Evans pouted and said, "Don't worry, that Chinese can't do anything to me." ”

"Not necessarily. The whole world knows that Zhang Guan is proficient in all kinds of sports, especially in racing, and he has never lost! And he is a Chinese, maybe he is really good at cycling, if tomorrow's race, he overtakes you, then your face will be lost! Boghardt said half-jokingly.

"More than me? You're really good at laughing! Evans pouted disdainfully: "Do you really think that the Chinese are very good at cycling?" They ride bicycles because they are poor and can't afford a car, so they are forced to pick up their bikes! We are professional cyclists and compete in the Tour de France, the highest level of cycling in the world! Even if Zhang Guan is given two more wheels, he can only follow me and eat fart! No, he doesn't even think about eating farts, I'll be far ahead, he can't even see my back! (To be continued.) )
