"You don't have to think about the improvement of the team. I'm the coach of the team, so I'm just going to worry about that. If you really want to help me, then hurry up and negotiate your contract, and if you renew your contract with the team as soon as possible, it will be the biggest help to me. ”

Gao Shunyao came to Magath to ask about the changes in the team. However, Magath's question diverted the topic. As he spoke, his eyes were also staring at Gao Shunyao, wanting some changes to be seen on his face.

Magath's reminder is definitely not untargeted. Talking to Gao Shunyao about the team, he suddenly pulled the topic to Gao Shunyao, in fact, he just wanted to see how Gao Shunyao planned his contract. In recent times, if Magath really has anything to worry about, then compared to the team's recruitment, in fact, Magath is more concerned about this issue.

Counting this half season, Gao Shunyao has been in Wolfsburg for two years. At this time, it was time for him to sign a new contract.

When Gao Shunyao came to Wolfsburg, he basically signed the lowest-level contract. At that time, his annual salary was 600,000 euros, and although his level has increased in the past two years and his fame has increased, Volkswagen has given him a lucrative commercial endorsement contract, and the player's contract has not changed. Although Gao Shunyao played well some time ago, there was no possibility of transferring, and the team was not in a hurry to change his contract, but as time went by, his contract should finally be renewed.

This winter, in addition to the work of recruitment, training. In fact, Wolfsburg still has a task to renew the player, and this winter is coming. Wolfsburg also handed Gao Shunyao a contract, hoping that he would be able to sign it.

It's no secret. Whose contract is about to expire. Not to mention the team, even the media knows this kind of thing. Whether a player renews his contract in time or not is sometimes a big matter involving the transfer of the player. Whether the main players of the championship-level team will renew their contracts is also a very eye-catching topic.

Gao Shunyao's contract is now a contract that everyone is looking at. Because after the arrival of this winter, he has not signed a new contract. Wolfsburg offered him a new contract, but Gao Shunyao did not immediately agree to sign it. His agent is in talks with Wolfsburg over a contract extension, and there seems to be quite a bit of disagreement.

Gao Shunyao is now a star, his level is good. Wages are also quite low, and if such a player is left in the transfer market, it can definitely cause a scramble. If he doesn't renew his contract, does he have the heart to leave Wolfsburg? And if he really doesn't renew his contract, there are so many teams around the world that are willing to accept him, does Gao Shunyao have the heart to leave? There was also some discussion in the media during this time.

Compared to finding a substitute, can his main striker stay, and does he have any other plans? These things, Magath also wanted to probe his tone.

Actually, Magath knows. Gao Shunyao has never been a person with too many hearts. He said that he loved the team, but behind his back he was discussing the transfer with other teams, Gao Shunyao should not do it. But there are no absolutes in the world, in front of such a thing as money. No matter what kind of quality it is, there has to be a question mark.

Magath has been in the football circle for too long, and he has seen all kinds of people, so he also has a little doubt about whether Gao Shunyao will successfully renew his contract. He and Gao Shunyao brought this up. In fact, it was like wanting to see how Gao Shunyao reacted - did he really want to stay, or did he have other ideas? Magath felt. I should be able to see some clues from Gao Shunyao's face.

It's just that this time Gao Shunyao's answer made him a little puzzled.

"My contract...... Isn't the broker talking? Then listen to him. I'm not very sensitive to numbers. I can't manage the money thing, just leave this matter to the broker. ”

Although Gao Shunyao was very concerned about other things in the team, when he mentioned his transfer, he was silent. He blamed everything on his agent, and Magath couldn't know what he thought.

Magath could only snort coldly at this, expressed his dissatisfaction, and said nothing more. And listening to his coach's dissatisfaction, Gao Shunyao could only smile bitterly: from the bottom of his heart, of course he wanted to stay, but at this time, Magath asked him, how could he say that he definitely wanted to stay?

Talking like that is completely asking for trouble for your own agent. When negotiating a contract, players can't talk nonsense with the team, which is the basic rule of professional football.

He didn't want to say anything more, because now the agent was negotiating with Wolfsburg. Although they are only talking about wages, it is also a good thing that the initiative is in their own hands. After all, Gao Shunyao also knows that salary sometimes represents not only the salary but also the importance of the team.

Negotiating a contract is not an easy task, and there are a lot of issues involved. Because in addition to representing the player's income, the player's salary is also a symbol of the player's status in the team. When Raul signed his contract with Real Madrid, he directly asked for a clause that his salary must be at least one euro higher than that of any team in the team - he certainly did not lack this money, which was purely a status symbol. And some teams in La Liga pay hundreds of millions of liquidated damages at every turn, and naturally it is not that the players are really worth so much money, just to prove that they value the players.

Giving a reasonable salary is sometimes a very heavy errand: a team has twenty or thirty people in the first team alone, what is the salary of the substitutes, what is the salary of the main team, what is the salary of the stars, what is the salary of the soul of the team, all these things have to have an explanation. It's not easy to get the players in order, if you can keep the players happy and the team doesn't have to spend much money - it's not easy to get them all sorted out.

The salary is wrong, that is, to look down on the performance of the players, and the players with high loyalty are likely to turn their faces for this, Barty was relegated to the Purple Lily back then, but because of the contradiction in the salary, he shouted to leave, just because he thought that the team did not value him.

However, it is not enough to only look at the strength of the players when paying salaries, because sometimes you have to consider the qualifications of the players, the commercial value of the players, the appeal of local players and other factors. Rumours in the media that Dortmund management ridiculed Lewandowski for 'foreign aid still wanting to take the salary of the German', this statement itself speaks to a problem: the salary is not agreed on the level of the player.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Shunyao's salary is actually very difficult to negotiate: in terms of player strength, the current Gao Shunyao is the absolute main force of Wolfsburg. Last season he also had some of a stance against Mandzukic, and this season the two are basically neck-and-neck. In this case, should Gao Shunyao's salary also be on par with Mandzukic?

Of course, this is true in theory, but football is not just about the performance on the field. In addition to the game, Mandzukic joined the team earlier and has more seniority, and this summer, he turned down Bayern Munich for the team, and his loyalty is commendable, so his salary should be higher than Gao Shunyao's head to be reasonable.

If you do this, it looks better than the salary that goes hand in hand, after all, Mandzukic helped Gao Shunyao a lot when he played, and his contract overwhelmed Gao Shunyao, and Gao Shunyao would definitely not have any objections. Mandzukic has already renewed his contract once, his contract is 4 million per year, and Gao Shunyao's contract should be slightly lower than his.

It seems like a good thing to do, and that's how Wolfsburg offers contracts. But Gao Shunyao's agent immediately pointed out that in addition to Gao Shunyao's main player, his other role that cannot be ignored is that of an Asian player, and he himself represents a very good business market - why does Manchester United have to buy Shinji Kagawa? Why does Bayern want to get a Uzuo Miki history to raise? At the end of the day, football teams have a business interest, and these aspects have to be considered.

What if the salary is low and other teams come to poach people? Those giant teams spend a lot of money, spending money is the same as playing, if Gao Shunyao's commercial value really exceeds the competitive value too much, there are definitely people who are willing to buy him as a mascot.

Of course, Gao Shunyao may not go, but after the agent put it forward, the team didn't dare to hope for the player's idea - there is no interest to tie the player, counting on the player's personal character, the team will suffer a big loss.

The strength of the players, the status of the team, the commercial value, these things are the things that the agent and the team are arguing about right now. Although he promised Gao Shunyao that he would let him stay, he would definitely not be happy if Gao Shunyao made him lose the initiative by talking nonsense.

Gao Shunyao and his agent are not friends, but Gao Shunyao is still not ready to do it when he pits his own agent. Others do things for themselves, how can they pit others? Therefore, in the face of Magat's news, he could only pretend to be stupid and not say anything.

Anyway, Magath is just unhappy about this paragraph, and when the contract is renewed, can he still hold a grudge for this?

However, in his heart, Gao Shunyao still complained that the agent was too slow. It took so long to sign a contract for such a trivial matter - Gao Shunyao may have lied to other words, but there is one thing he definitely did not lie: after playing football in Japan and getting the kind of football salary in Japan that is only enough for living expenses, Gao Shunyao decided very early that he didn't play football for money, he really didn't care much about more money and less money.

Worrying about money every day, Gao Shunyao somewhat felt that he shouldn't. Compared to those, the current Gao Shunyao has more important things to worry about. How the team should play the ball, whether the league can win the championship, these are the big things he wants to consider. Of course, in terms of this period of time, there is another thing that is also quite important - how much chance Wolfsburg has in the Champions League knockout round in the second half of the season, Gao Shunyao has been thinking about it recently.
