Chapter 51 A merciless slap in the face!

Simon in power? Grayson quickly started to work, of course, the first thing to consider with this kind of good thing is his proud protégé, Shaq has no opinion on this, anyway, the club took the initiative to propose, and a simple salary increase is a good thing.

In addition to Shaq, there are naturally a number of players who performed well last season who have been rewarded with salary increases.

On October 3, a series of contract renewals were announced on Barça's official website......

Shaq renewed his new five-year contract with an annual salary of 40 million euros, with an annual increase of 10 percent!

Vasquez has signed a new five-year contract with an annual salary of 8 million euros!

Battista signs a new five-year contract with an annual salary of 6 million euros!

Gonzalo renews his contract for five years with an annual salary of 4 million euros!

Rivero renewed his new contract for the first five years, with an annual salary of 7.75 million euros!

Although not everyone was rewarded with a salary increase, the atmosphere in the Barcelona team has changed, everyone is working harder in training, the will to fight is high, and everyone clearly understands that if you contribute more to the team, you can get a higher salary, which makes the players more motivated.

However, Shaq's contract renewal produced the highest salary record in world football, as well as Barcelona's series of actions, which still made the media hotly discussed......

"Although Shaq was indeed the world No. 1 with 157 goals in 60 games last season, is it really necessary for Barcelona to give an annual salary of 40 million euros after tax?"

"Shaq has four years left on his contract with Barcelona, and his salary has been as high as 34.5 million euros, and there are no other teams to poach him, so we don't see the need for Barcelona to rush to keep the king!"

"This season, Shaq has scored 20 goals in 10 games, although it is still at the level of a football king. But the efficiency has decreased compared to last season, and at this time, giving Shaq an unprecedentedly high salary, is it to stimulate Shaq's desire to score? ”

"Vasquiz has finally earned himself a world-class salary with his world-class performances last season, and with eight goals and eight assists in nine games so far this season, Barcelona should do whatever it takes to leave their future behind the team."

"The centre-back combination of Rivero and Batista. They have indeed become world-class centre-backs last season, and there is no more consistent and better defensive player in the current Barcelona team, and given the age of the pair, there will be no major holes in Barcelona's defence for the next five years, which will be the foundation of the team's consistent performance. ”

"Gonzalo's ability is underrated, Barcelona has made a remedy, and the right-back produced by the La Masia Academy will replace Rafael as the propeller on the right side of Barcelona."

The Spanish media is hotly discussing Barcelona's collective salary increase. Barcelona fans don't feel anything, they think it's acceptable.

Shaq's contribution to the team last season is obvious to all, without Shaq there would never be last season's "Treble", and there can be no current "Five Crowns", the annual salary of 40 million euros is indeed quite high, but since the club can give such a high annual salary, this is enough to prove that the club's finances are completely affordable, and it would be better if Shaq could score a few more goals. But it doesn't matter if Shaq can play his part on the pitch without scoring and ensure the team wins.

Vasquith has proven himself to be a "genius". Getting a big raise is understandable, and even though he didn't get his last contract for a long time, it ...... After all, it's your own people, and the high salary is the high salary!

As for Rivero, Batista...... This centre-back duo is really the best pair of centre-backs in Barça's history, with previous editions of Dream Team and even Pep Guardiola's Cosmos. Failed to solve the team's defensive problems well, although these two are outsiders, but they do make Barcelona more perfect, and it is reasonable to give a high salary!

The most satisfying thing for Barcelona fans is Gonzalo's salary increase. The little man who was only transferred from the Barcelona B team to the first team this season is an out-and-out little man, with a height of 1.62 meters that is very short among normal people, but he can still become a professional player and play so well, this is completely an inspirational idol!

Gonzalo's sudden rise has really surprised Barcelona fans, and fans who know Gonzalo's previous performance in the B team can see that this small man's progress is too great, his galloping attack on the right flank, and the average of 4.4 steals per game obtained by aggressive scrambling when defending, are enough to prove that Gonzalo is indeed giving everything for the team.

When Barcelona hosted La Liga's sixth-round opponents, Hercules, Simon? Grayson was asked a sharp question by reporters at his pre-match press conference......

"Simon, Shaq's latest annual salary is another record number, but his performance this season is not as good as last season, we all know that you are now in charge of the team's transfer and contract renewal, do you think that giving your descendant such an astonishing high salary will cause unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles?"

Simon? Grayson sneered: "This journalist friend, I want to know what you think the standard for a salary increase should be?" ”

"Uh...... Well, at least it should be better than last season, right? ”

Simon? Grayson smiled contemptuously: "How do you know that Shack isn't doing as well as last season?" Is it just a simple look at the number of goals? Oh well, I forgive your ignorance, but I think I need to explain it so that no one else will be misled by you! ”

A pause, Simon? Grayson swept the reporters present and said slowly: "For a center forward, the number of goals and assists is a very important standard, but although the formation of our team this season has not changed much, the tactics have made a lot of adjustments, Shaq's goal efficiency this season has indeed decreased, but you should see that Shaq has made sacrifices for the team's tactics, this season we have 11 players who have scored in official matches, and the team's offense has become more point-oriented and diversified, Do you think this is not an improvement for the team? Isn't it Shaq's role? ”

These journalists are people who understand how to deal with football all day long. Simon? Although Grayson's words have the meaning of defending Shaq, they are also telling the truth that whether a player has a tactical tilt or not, and his performance on the court is definitely different.

Can Simon? Before Grayson could finish speaking, he stared at the reporter who asked the question: "Finally, let me remind you. Oh, I don't know your name yet, I don't need to, I just want to advise you, don't try to doubt the greatest player in the world, Shaq just hasn't worked hard yet, we've got a lot of games to play this season, there's a lot of titles to fight for, Shaq is in perfect form. And he's also very smart about adjusting himself to save the best for the future. But...... Since you doubt his ability to score goals, then tomorrow's game, I'll let him score a few more goals! It's not that hard! ”

Leave that aside, Simon? Grayson got up and left, he didn't know what those reporters thought, now that "Brutal Simon" is already the world's number one coach, he can ignore these reporters. But these reporters will definitely continue to stick to it shamelessly.

Simon? Grayson is also very sure that Shaq will score more goals in the next game, with Barcelona playing Hercules at home. It was originally a game without suspense, the strength of the two teams was not at the same level at all, and Barcelona was playing at home, and when the game came, he only needed to adjust the team's offensive direction a little and leave more opportunities for Shaq.

October 6 at 20:01 p.m. The match between Barcelona and Hercules at the Camp Nou was only one minute into the game...... Shaq scored!

At the beginning of the match, Barcelona, who took the lead in serving, passed the ball to the back, and then Alaba passed the ball to Matthews? Muller, the German youngster passed back and forth with Shaq twice, and then Shaq broke into the left side of the Hercules penalty area with the ball. With a "bang", Shaq kicked the ball directly into the bottom right corner of the goal with a low shot.

The Camp Nou was full of cheers, and the Barcelona fans excitedly chanted Shaq's name, and they found that scoring goals was really instinctive for Shaq, and it was difficult for everyone else, but it was so easy to get to Shak!

After the goal, Shaq was not idle, ran to the camera lens and opened the jersey on his chest first, revealing another sentence inside...... Silke, bring your face over!

Silk, the one who made things difficult for Simon at the press conference? Grayson's journalist name, a young journalist from a small sports magazine in Madrid.

Shaq's slap in the face certainly wouldn't be so simple, as he received Alaba's cross from the left at the top of the penalty area in the 6th minute, and slammed the ball into the top left corner of the Hercules goal with a left-footed "GOAL...... 2:0！

20 minutes, Shaq picks up Matthews? Muller's through pass, dribbling diagonally from the right side of the frontcourt, dangling the opponent with a pendulum along the way, finally pumped the ball into the left side of the Hercules goal with the outside of his right foot on the left side of the penalty spot...... 3：0！

The phrase "Silk, put your face together" appears a total of five times in the game!

Shaq completed the big four in 36 minutes, and scored in the 81st minute in the second half to lock the score at 8:0!

In addition to Shaq scoring five goals alone, Rivero, Matthews? Muller and Alaba's goals also scored, and Simon? Grayson's players were responsible for all eight goals in the game!

Everyone was smiling after the game, and the Barcelona stars could already foresee the face of the reporter named Silke being swollen, who do you say you suspect can't, you have to suspect Shaq?

A strong figure like "Godfather" Cruyff had to bow his head in front of Shaq, and he had to praise Shaq on his Twitter in the summer, which can be regarded as an apology in disguise.

Besides, Shaq's goal reduction this season is indeed the result of the team's tactical changes, which does not mean that Shaq's scoring ability has declined, but it means that his contribution to the team is greater, the greatest player in the history of world football, a football king who will surpass Pele's goals as a goal, really can't be touched, otherwise...... Just wait to be slapped in the face! (To be continued......)
