Chapter 53 Giving and Receiving Be Proportional
Silvio Berlusconi is going to take a pay cut, and for a while, the owners of other clubs in Italian football are also tempted, if they can save some expenses, who will not be able to live with money?
Especially those teams that are heavily in debt, have been running deficits for many years, cannot make ends meet, and can only struggle to make ends meet, even more regard Berlusconi's whim as a golden rule, waiting for AC Milan to take the lead in implementing it, and then promote it in their own homes.
Italy's media tycoons and dignified government prime ministers are so financially strapped that even if they have money in their pockets, they are embarrassed to show off their wealth!
At present, Fiorentina is in the best economic situation in Italian football, not to mention that Fiorentina and Roma are tied for third place in the annual salary ranking of Italian football, but in fact, last season, the club's profits added together, which has long been offset by this part of the money, and most of the surplus.
But De La Valle and Paginwa don't see it that way, De La Valle is no longer the president of the club who was willing to invest a lot of money to save the purple lilies for the revival of Florence, and Pakinwa has long been dissatisfied with Digan's taking away his rights.
Who has the highest annual salary in the team?
Of course, it is Degan, whose annual salary of tens of millions of euros per year, even if it has now been surpassed by Ibrahimovic, but it is also the second highest salary in world football.
When this contract was signed, Parkinwa was reluctant, but Dravele was carried away by the title of Triple Crown and had long forgotten the meaning of money, and when he came to his senses, he wanted to regret it, but it was too late.
If you want to start the annual salary of the players in the team, you must first kill the wolf Digan, otherwise, now the other players in the Fiorentina team are looking at the head of the Dugan team, and if the Dugan does not nod, the others will have no fun at all.
However, if you talk to Digan directly, it is impossible to achieve the goal, so you can only adopt a roundabout tactic and disintegrate Digan from the side first.
Didn't Deegan keep saying that the whole team was in the interest, the whole team? Didn't you win the support of the fans for this?
So, in an interview with reporters, Parkinwa talked about the team's business situation: "Fiorentina is not a giant now, at least in terms of sponsorship and Milan, Juventus, and even the Roma team has a big gap, last season's team record was very good, in order to reward the players, so Mr. De La Valle paid out of his own pocket to give the players a salary increase, but now, I can only say that Italy's economic situation is really bad, Fiorentina's business situation is also very bad, high annual salary, occupies most of the team's funds, this winter, Beckham's transfer, or Mr. de la Valle himself to pay, I think Prime Minister Berlusconi's advice is very good, now the annual salary of some players is indeed too high, has reached a point where I think to create a gap between the rich and the poor, this is abnormal, very abnormal! If Florence wants to develop benignly, it cannot do without a good economic environment! So, we're also starting to do that to save the club's finances, and I know of course it's going to hurt some of the players, but it's more important for the team, isn't it? ”
Although Paginva's image in the minds of Fiorentina fans is not very good, his words are still supported by many fans, after all, fans who really love Fiorentina hope that the club can get better and better.
"Is Pakinwa ready to take a salary?"
At Digan's home, Zahavi has also arrived, and now the Fiorentina club has made frequent small moves, which has made people panic within the team, which has affected the normal operation of the team, and Digan cannot turn a blind eye.
Zahavi smiled: "I have to admit that Chairman Pakinwa's move is very clever, he wants to use the fans, use the public opinion offensive to force you to bow your head!" Rod! In Fiorentina, the support of the fans is very important, and if you don't take the initiative to take a pay cut, it may have a very bad impact on the fans! ”
Deegan sneered and said, "Of course I know, but if I agree, I will lose the support within the team!" ”
Although Fiorentina has to pay him a high annual salary of 10 million euros after tax, in fact, this money only accounts for a part of Digan's overall annual income.
But what about the others? What about the rest of the team?
They don't have the popularity of Degan, some teammates are counting on this salary to live, and how long can a player's career be, to put it bluntly, it is to eat youth, play football now and get a high salary, and retire in the future?
There are a few players who have been able to complete the transition from athlete to coach, and most of them can only eat their old books, if they don't make enough money for the rest of their lives when they are young, what will they do in the future?
As we all know, football players just eat a bowl of youth, and when they are young, they must save enough wealth for the rest of their lives, otherwise they will definitely not be able to live in the second half of their lives.
As the saying goes, people are not good for a thousand days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days. If players don't think about the future at the best of their careers, they are likely to be unable to find a job when they retire and end up destitute with all their savings. There is no shortage of such negative teaching materials in international football.
Former Brazilian star Garrincha was known as the "Little Birdie" in the first half of his life, winning two World Cups with Pele in 1958 and 1962 and creating the pinnacle of Brazilian football.
However, the second half of Garrincha's life was tormented by injuries and alcohol. After retiring from the army, the stubborn Garrincha spent money like water, and the coffee shop he ran went bankrupt, and he was disheartened and could only borrow alcohol to kill his sorrows all day long, which made his family's situation worse, and finally he was poor and fell into a desperate situation.
After squandering all his money, his wife left him, leaving him and his eight children to live in the slums of Rio de Janeiro.
Puskas, a legend of world football, with a magical left foot, who has represented two different countries in two World Cups, is the greatest player in Hungarian history, but he is also a tragic figure with many ill-fated fates.
In 1958, the 31-year-old Puskas joined Real Madrid, and from 1958 to 1966, the "Running Major" and the Argentine Stefano formed the most feared forward line in Spain and even Europe, Puskas won four La Liga top scorers and helped the team win five league titles.
It is a pity that after Puskas retired, he did not become a symbol of the club like Stefano and was not able to stay at the club to work, but drifted around like a fallen leaf.
Since 2000, Puskas's condition began to deteriorate, 6 years has been hospitalized, receiving 24-hour medical monitoring, sometimes lucid, sometimes blurred, although Puskas is very famous, but in that era, he did not get much salary, so the expensive medical expenses made the old man impoverished, originally in August 2005, Real Madrid and the "Puskas All-Stars" held a charity match in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, to raise a fund for the seriously ill Puskas, But the Puskas family were sidelined after the race by the Hungarian merchants who hosted the competition, and they received only £7,000 for charity, and the crying Puskas had to auction off souvenirs won during their careers to pay for medical expenses.
There is also England star Webber, a former excellent midfielder who made 110 appearances for Manchester United and 26 for England and represented England at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.
When he was king at Manchester United, Beckham's task was to shine his shoes every day. Some of Manchester United's legends in recent years such as Brian. Robson, Mark. Hughes and Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel were both his "little henchmen". Unfortunately, a series of serious injuries forced Webber to announce his retirement in 1996.
In the eyes of ordinary people, as a famous star in the Premier League, Webb should live a worry-free life with a lot of pounds after retirement. But the reality is that Webb didn't catch up with the good days of making a lot of money when he was playing. After retiring in 1996, Webber also tried his hand at coaching, and in 1997, he became the head coach of a club called Wiymouth, but after 70 days, he was fired, forced to make ends meet, and Webber had to work as a postman in the post office, sorting letters every day, and as a "temporary worker".
Gascoigne was England's most creative midfielder in the 90s, and his heroic tears at the 1990 World Cup and his brilliant goal against Scotland at Euro 1996 made him a popular figure. But indulgent habits, especially alcoholism, led to the gradual destruction of his career. Whether in England or during his brief spell in China, Gascoigne would go to the pub every night for a drink. Long-term drinking not only caused Gascoigne's physical problems, but also his financial ability declined. Today, Gascoigne has sold his mansion and his wife has divorced him. Spending money like water has made his recent financial situation stretched, and he has not even been able to pay his ex-wife's living expenses for a long time.
Even big stars like Garrincha, Gascoigne, Webb, and Puskas can't avoid the embarrassment of poverty after retirement, let alone these teammates around Degan.
At this time, Deegan can't answer the call of those fans, and he has to think more about his teammates.
Once Degan compromises, then his teammates will definitely not be able to withstand so much pressure, giving in is the only way, even if his teammates don't say anything, Degan will definitely lose the support of his teammates.
"Rod! At this time, what do you think you should do? ”
Deegan did not hesitate: "I can only be with my brothers!" ”
Pakinwa's offensive was swift, and the next day, when Digan went to the training ground to participate in training, he was surrounded by reporters at the door, and the focus of their inquiries was naturally about the pay cut.
"I think this question, you shouldn't ask me at all, you should ask the owners of those clubs, now the salary of players is following the laws of the market, and it is best for the market to decide whether the restriction is limited or not, after all, football has become marketized and professional."
Deegan asked the reporters to ask the owners of the club, and the reporters obviously knew what Degan meant, but in fact, the phenomenon of high annual salaries of players was caused by the fact that when the economic environment was good, some club owners compared each other with each other in terms of player salaries.
"The salaries of players are indeed a bit high in recent years, when it was mainly a few large clubs that did not follow the laws of football development and raised the wages of players without authorization, which caused an abnormal rise in prices, which is not the responsibility of the players, and according to our efforts on the pitch and the benefits brought to the club, do you think we take more? I think it's normal for a player's income to follow the laws of the market. We players are eating youth, to be honest, normal people are going to college at this time, and they can seek a good future for themselves, but we are desperate here, to put it bluntly, if there is not much money, who will do it? The competition for players is fierce, how many people can really become stars and make a lot of money? With such a high elimination rate, our risk is already great, and what can we do after retirement? Don't you just want to rely on this little money to retire? ”
At this time, some fans gathered next to him booed Digan, Digan looked at it and sneered: "Don't think I don't know who asked you to come, I can answer you clearly now, what we get must be proportional to the pay, we won the treble last season, and the benefits created for the club are unimaginable, this season we are fighting for the six crowns, and the bonuses we will get when the time comes, are not at all comparable to the salaries of all our players!" Why are we taking a pay cut, is it just to save Mr. De Delavelai? It's ridiculous! ”
Degan's attitude is very clear, he wants to reduce his salary, but there is no door!
"I don't care what people think of me, it doesn't matter if they think of me as a miser, these are the things I want to say, it's my decision, if the club doesn't think they can afford my salary, then they can choose to let me move away, it's that simple! Nothing to say! Is every lira I have that I desperately get on the football field! ”
