144 Renewal Issues

It was another wonderful north London derby, and the British media naturally reported on this game after the game!

"Hot North London Derby Dominates by One Man, Free Kick Hat-trick Wins Premier League"

The Guardian's report highlighted Chen's dominant performance in the match. He is credited with helping Tottenham Hotspur win the north London derby almost single-handedly, and his incredible hat-trick from a free-kick made Premier League history.

"Tottenham Hotspur win in the north London derby, record finisher shows another record-breaking"

The Telegraph is still concerned about Chen Xi's record. Last time, it was they who gave Chen Xi the nickname "Record Finisher" and thought he would be attacking the Premier League's records. This time, Chen Xi's hat trick of free kicks broke the record of a single free kick goal in the Premier League. Meanwhile, they believe Chen, who has scored 20 league goals, will have a good chance of breaking the record of 34 goals in a single season, held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer.

"Tottenham knocks down Arsenal, London's new overlord is born"

The newspaper believes that Tottenham's victory will herald a change in the landscape of the London area and the entire Premier League. Tottenham, who were originally only considered a mid-table team in London and the Premier League, will likely overtake Arsenal to become the boss of the London area, and will have their place in the first group of the Premier League!

"The super rookie king is difficult to resist, and the Gunners' two top defenders are injured and red-carded"

The report of "Every Post" mentioned that the strong rise of Chen Xi has become the most difficult offensive player in the Premier League, and his offensive means are extremely rich, breaking through, shooting, assisting, and free kicks, which is a disaster for the opposing defensive players.

At the same time, he also took out the Arsenal in the north London derby as an example, in this game, the world's No. 1 defensive defender Vieira was sent by Wenger to keep an eye on Chen Xi, although he limited Chen Xi to a certain extent, but was also forced by Chen Xi to carry a yellow card, and finally Chen Xi's breakthrough caused the recurrence of the old injury and left the field early. In addition to Vieira, Arsenal's world-class central defender Campbell also became Chen Xi's defeater, and after being teased by Chen Xi once, he finally ended his first game back to White Hart Lane with a red card!

Such two world-class defensive players were forced to be injured and red cards by Chen Xi, which obviously proves Chen Xi's personal ability!

"Edison's Three Plays He-Man, the Door God Shows His Old Age"

"Every Mirror" pointed out one point through Chen Xi's hat-trick of free kicks, that is, the aging Seaman seems to have come to say goodbye. The article also mentioned that Seaman has made many low-level mistakes in the 02 World Cup and this year's league, and this game was played by Chen Xi with three different free kicks. It seems that Arsene Wenger's search for a new goalkeeper is imminent.

In addition to the report on this game, Chen Xi's personal whereabouts are also the object of media coverage.

As an "old friend" of Chen Xi and Tottenham, Howard will naturally not let this go!

In his column for The Sun, the guy who has been a supporter of Arsenal and a Spurs downvoter made no mention of the north London derby. Instead, he locked his eyes on Chen Xi's contract.

Howard's article mentioned that Chen Xi, the super rookie king of the new season, only signed a contract with Tottenham with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan and a one-year contract. In other words, next summer, Chen Xi will become a free body. If Chen Xi's contract cannot be renewed, Tottenham will lose the team's most important attacker and will not receive a penny of transfer fees.

Howard also took the opportunity to satirize the eyes of Hoddle and the management of Tottenham Hotspur. thinks they are short-sighted, but for such a talented player, they are only willing to give a contract of 100,000 a year. And point out that they will pay for their stinginess.

At the same time, Howard also mentioned that "it is said" that several giants in the Premier League have expressed interest in Chen Xi and are already in contact with his agent, after the end of this season, Chen Xi will have more than 90% of the possibility of leaving Tottenham and joining the giants.

In addition, I don't know where Howard got an inside message from Tottenham, that is, Tottenham had actually prepared a new contract for Chen Xi a long time ago, but because of Chen Xi's "header phobia" incident, Chen Xi's contract renewal preparations were suspended. He thinks that Tottenham's approach will obviously chill Chen Xi and prompt him to choose a transfer!

Howard's report is very "objective" in terms of tone. And completely from Chen Xi's point of view, he seemed to have forgotten how he belittled Chen Xi before, and the so-called "head phobia" was also reported by him first. In his article, he repeatedly satirized the performance of the Tottenham club, which was obviously to provoke the relationship between Chen Xi and the club.

Other media outlets also reported the news to some extent, but at the press conference that day, Hoddle vowed that the club would offer Chen Xi a new contract after Christmas. So they haven't hyped the news yet. Of course, in the next half season, as long as Chen Xi and Tottenham do not renew their contract, the news about Chen Xi's departure from Tottenham will definitely become more and more hyped!

In fact, after such media reports, Tottenham Hotspur Club is also feeling huge pressure.

First of all, during this time, outside the club building, some Tottenham fans have begun to gather there to ask the club to hurry up and finalize a new contract with Chen Xi.

At the same time, they are naturally worried that Chen Xi's agent has already been in contact with other clubs. That would mean they would lose the team's best player of the season and not get a penny!

Therefore, the new contract locked in the drawer of club director Plitt was also taken out again, but Chen Xi's annual salary was increased a lot.

Soon, a five-year contract with an annual salary of 2.5 million pounds was placed on George Hamm's table, which is 25 times Chen Xi's current annual salary!

George Ham also found Chen Xi for the first time, because as Howard said, he has recently received calls from several giant teams, without exception, inviting Chen Xi to join their team after this season, in addition to promising Chen Xi's high salary, he also promised to give him a lot of benefits!

Although George Hamm is also greedy for money, he is not an unscrupulous agent, more often, he will consider his future from Chen Xi's point of view, because he knows that Chen Xi's wealth is probably only one-tenth of it, or even less!

Therefore, he will carefully look for Chen Xi's opinions on these issues.

For the new contract proposed by Tottenham Hotspur Club, Chen Xi is very big.

In fact, when he heard the reporter's question in his post-match interview yesterday, he expected today's situation.

Originally, before signing with Tottenham, he had asked George Ham to test the club and proposed to sign a one-year contract if Tottenham were only willing to sign a short-term contract.

At that time, he was testing the sincerity of the Tottenham club to himself, and positioning the Tottenham club through this. Let's see if they are far-sighted and hopeful of developing into wealthy families or short-sighted and petty-minded. As it turns out, Tottenham seem to be closer to the latter.

Indeed, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy's transfer policy during this period was to pay attention to affordability, and when Rebrov was confirmed to be a parallel commodity for a sky-high price of 15 million, Tottenham Hotspur for the next period of time was to bring in some expired veteran stars or seek some young talents at low prices.

The £7 million purchase of Robbie Keane this season was only paid for by the club after manager Childe Hoddle repeatedly asked for the introduction of a good striker.

Before the start of the season, young players like Chen Xi who have not proven themselves in the professional arena are naturally reluctant to spend a lot of money.

According to Chen Xi's judgment, in today's increasingly commercialized situation, it is difficult for a club that is unwilling to spend money to achieve good results. Therefore, Chen Xi's previous idea was to leave directly after playing this season.

However, since this season, the love of Tottenham fans for him and his outstanding performance in this team have also made Chen Xi accustomed to life in White Hart Lane. Personally, he is reluctant to leave Tottenham.

This is why Chen Xi is so entangled.

"George, is it true that the media reported that the club had suspended contract renewal talks because of my 'head phobia'?" Chen Xi remembered a message he had seen in the newspaper before, and asked.

"Well, before that, Plitt did talk to me about a contract extension and said the club had a new contract ready for you. But then that happened, and I was worried about your condition. Plitt didn't mention it again. Speaking of which, I was actually at your club building a lot during that time, but they never mentioned the renewal of the contract again! George Hamm said after a moment's thought.

"Oh, it seems to be true. It's really realistic! Chen Xi snorted coldly and said.

"Well, they can't be blamed entirely for that. Today's football clubs were originally purely commercial institutions, and players were like commodities in the eyes of those managers, with their own prices. Naturally, they are not willing to spend a lot of money for a newcomer with an uncertain future! George Hamm said with a helpless sigh. As an agent, he deals with the club a lot, and he naturally knows the essence of the club.

"Since they were willing to wait, let's just let them wait! You want to help me drag it out, I want to see how the club performs in the winter transfer market! Chen Xi said with a gloomy face.

George Hamm naturally knew what Chen Xi meant, and as an agent, he still had a lot of experience in Tai Chi with the club, so he nodded to make it clear!
