Chapter 58: The Call of the National Team (Part II)
"I also mean to agree with George entering the England national team, after all, the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan is about to start, and it is a dream for any player to be able to perform on the biggest stage of the World Cup. At the same time, after George entered the national team, his value will naturally rise, with George's image and outstanding performance, there must be a lot of manufacturers who find George's endorsement, and when the advertising endorsement fee is also a lot, we Liverpool can also make a lot of money. At the same time, George is only 16 years old, if he doesn't make it to the national team, then the damn media in England, the ghost will know what they will report, in short, it will not be a good thing, I believe you can also understand it, chairman. I'm afraid George won't be able to withstand the pressure, after all, George is still just a kid. ”
Parry said unhurriedly, and at the same time stated his opinion one by one, leaving it to Morse to decide whether to let George enter the national team or not.
After listening to Parry's words, Morse couldn't help but be stunned, he simply wanted George to enter the England national team, but listening to Parry's words, George really had to enter this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. But fortunately, Morse's original idea was to let George enter the national team, so he didn't think too much about it, and now when he sees Parry, he talks about such pros and cons, and he also says a little.
"Okay, since that's the case, let George enter the national team, now you tell George the news, I believe that George, a child, will definitely be very happy after hearing the news."
"Don't worry, I know what to do. But Chairman, when we tell George about this, do we need to discuss another matter about George? ”
"Another thing, is there anything else going on with George?" Hearing Parry say this, Morse asked curiously.
"Yes, this matter cannot be delayed, and it must be resolved as soon as possible." Seeing Morse's puzzled look, Parry said with a serious face.
"What the hell is going on, is there anything serious?" Seeing Parry's serious face, Morse couldn't help but be curious.
"It's about George's new contract, and at the moment George is only on a youth contract, which is very unfair to George. You must know that George is a famous star in the whole of England now, and he still has a contract with the youth team, if other clubs know, God knows what the consequences will be. ”
Seeing that Morse really didn't seem to know anything, Parry rolled his eyes helplessly and explained to Morse.
"What, George still has a youth team contract." Hearing Parry's words, Morse said with a shocked expression. In Morse's mind, someone like George, who has been playing for the team for a few months, should have been offered a decent first-line contract a long time ago, and he couldn't have imagined that he was still only holding a youth team contract.
"That's true, George is playing very well in the Premier League at the moment, although I don't know, but I can think of it, there are definitely a lot of teams playing George's attention now. Although I have no doubt about George's love and loyalty to Liverpool, I am afraid that George, a child, will lose himself under the lure of money. ”
Parry said slowly, especially on the last child, let Morse know that George is just a child now, if he can't give George a decent contract, no matter how much George likes and is loyal to Liverpool, I'm afraid that when the time comes, he will leave Liverpool and join the other party under the temptation of other people's money, and Liverpool can really be said to be making a wedding dress for others.
"Give, why don't you give, damn it, no one wants to snatch George away from me. Give George a new contract right away. Listening to Parry's words, Morse can be the chairman of Liverpool, and he is a shrewd businessman, how can he not understand what Parry means, and say immediately.
"You say yes, of course I know how to give, but you have to at least give me a bottom line, so that I know what kind of contract I want to give George." Parry was depressed when he heard Morse's words, although he is the general manager of the club, but this kind of thing still needs to be decided by Chairman Morse on the table.
"So what kind of contract do you want to give George?" Parry asked with a depressed expression.
Hearing Parry's words, Morse also reacted, this kind of thing needs to be made up of his own mind, Parry, the general manager, just gave himself some advice, thinking of this, Morse thought of George's recent performance can indeed only be described by the word perfect, so he waved his hand and said very arrogantly: "How much, hum, I also let the presidents of other Premier League clubs know that I, Morse, am not a stingy person." Just give George 10 million dollars after taxes, and besides, George is worth the price. ”
Morse was very curious, but Parry couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Morse's words. "You are a loser, a 16-year-old child, you give him a contract of 10 million after tax, with this contract, even Zidane or Ronaldo will probably be tempted."
However, Parry, as the general manager of Liverpool FC, will not be impulsive with Morse, but considering that Morse now basically regards George as his grandson, and even loves him more than his grandson, (Morse's grandson can't win for Liverpool, while George can) so he cautiously asked: "Ten million dollars, is this too high?" ”
"Is 10 million dollars high, why don't I think, our team's Michael is also 10 million!" Hearing Parry's words, Morse said curiously.
"That's right, now that George is only 16 years old, you give a salary of 10 million US dollars, and when George enters the national team, his value will rise again. Even if the salary of 10 million US dollars does not rise, we can sign a five-year contract with George at most, and George will only be 21~22 years old after five years, I am afraid that George will be much more powerful at that time. When the time comes, will we have to increase the salary again, even if we sign for another five years, but after five years, George 27~28, it is because of the golden age of the profession, maybe it will be increased again, and then you say how much salary does the club need to give George? ”
Hearing Parry say this, Morse couldn't help but think about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Parry's words made sense. According to Parry's words, five years later, as long as George is not a meteor, his salary needs to be increased by at least five million dollars, and then another five million, and George's salary will probably reach an astonishing more than 20 million, or even high, thinking of this, Morse can't help but feel a little ashamed of his arrogant words just now.
In fact, Morse doesn't really understand anything, and he is not a typical loser. Morse himself is an extremely shrewd businessman, at first his brain was hot and impulsive, and after being reminded by Parry, Morse reacted that giving George such a contract is not unaffordable, but it is not worth it.
After all, as soon as such a super contract appears, I am afraid that Liverpool will at least double the salary of players every year. You must know that even George, a 16-year-old newcomer, has such a contract, so what will the rest of Liverpool's veteran players think, they will definitely ask for a salary increase. Although Morse also believes in the loyalty of his players to Liverpool FC, Morse believes that if he can earn more, his so-called loyal players will never be ambiguous.
