ChineseGillett's words made Benitez angry, and he didn't expect such words to come out of the other person's mouth.

"There's no way we're going to sell him." Benitez said word for word, "I don't know how the Reds were built back then, but now, we build the team around him." Without him, the way we play will change dramatically, which is absolutely unacceptable. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to have such deep feelings." Gillette hurriedly reassured, "I'm just proposing an idea." ”

"Our feelings are not deep, and it is not a question of whether our feelings are deep or not. What I do is to be responsible for the team. A player like Joey, anyone wants to get it, he's in our team, it's our luck, we can't just mess around. ”

"Of course we're not going to do nonsense." Gillette swore an oath, "No, never!" How could I do that kind of thing that makes the fans unhappy! I'm about to have someone talk to him about renewing his contract...... I'd love to see him stay. It's just that I ask this, mainly because I want you to have an attitude to cooperate with me: I'm afraid that his agent will ask for a high salary, and if we use such a team, it doesn't matter who is lacking, we can suppress the contract. You know, as you said, Torres is coming, we're definitely going to have to negotiate a contract, and when the time comes, what if he asks us for 200,000 a week? We're not La Liga, we can't afford it. ”

The salary structure of the Premier League and La Liga and Serie A is very different. The difference between the salaries of Premier League teams will not be particularly huge, such as Liverpool, the highest Gerrard is 100,000 per week, but his rewards and other miscellaneous expenses are not required. And Zhao Yaning's weekly salary of 90,000 yuan, the two people have the highest salary. And the lowest Riser and others, the weekly salary can also reach about 30,000. The gap is not very large.

Whereas La Liga and Serie A are different. In these two leagues, the salaries of stars are extremely high, and the salaries of ordinary players are pitiful. For example, Real Madrid, the highest Raul, is as high as 7 million, but the lowest rookie Higuain and others have a salary of just 1.8 million euros, which is considered a low salary in the Premier League, and it is precisely because of this that the overall strength of the Premier League will surpass them. Those players who are not too high-level are willing to play in a better team rather than a team that makes less money.

In the past, Liverpool bought ordinary players with low salaries in La Liga, but this time, Liverpool bought Torres, who has always been regarded as a genius. His salary is extremely high, which is equivalent to the Premier League, reaching 110,000. Liverpool naturally can't accept his salary so high, although Torres himself proposed to be willing to take a salary cut, but Liverpool is also considering a salary increase.

But how much is appropriate? Zhao Yaning's current weekly salary is 90,000 yuan, which is only about 4 million euros. It was appropriate two years ago, but now, Barcelona has offered Xiao Luo a contract of 10 million euros, and the salary continues to rise, who knows what salary Zhao Yaning wants?

"Joey is not a money-grubbing person, and, even so, it is useless and pointless not to do such a thing." Benitez shook his head and said, "I know who gave you advice, those Liverpool veterans are worthy of respect, but the advice is not worth taking. It's not the 80s anymore, and at that time, after selling Keegan, you could still buy Dalglish. But now, the world is different. ”

"Isn't Torres able to replace part of Zhao Yaning's role?"

"And that's only part of it." Benitez shook his head.

"Maybe I'm wrong." Gillette said, "Here's how I understand it: You say that Joey is the number one midfielder in the Premier League and even in the world, and there is no one to compare, right? ”

"Yes."

"But when he came, he wasn't the best in the world, was he?"

"At that time? Can't count. Benitez thought for a moment.

"So, you said Torres would be the world's No. 1 striker in the future, right?"

"If there were no injuries or accidents, it would definitely be."

"So I inevitably have this thought: this is a good deal. The midfielder we bought for 20 million will be worth 60 million three years later. And we are now 30 million to buy a striker, in a few years, what will be the value? Buy low, sell high, and our team's economy is guaranteed. I swear, I want to see the team play better and better, but I've got to build new stadiums for the team and we need money. For the sake of money, we sometimes have to do things that we don't want to do. ”

"With a title, without a pitch, Anfield is good enough. With a stadium, what is the use of an empty stadium without a championship? If Joey is gone, it will be difficult for us to continue to maintain our strength, and even if we continue to invest and maintain our strength, there will be a period of turmoil, and I think we had better not try that way. ”

Benitez's words made Gillette nod again and again, and until Benitez left, Gillette didn't mention it again, as if what he wanted to sell Zhao Yaning just now was just a joke.

It wasn't until Benitez left that Hicks spoke, "You're not really going to keep him, are you?" ”

"Why keep him? The highest transfer fee for a football player is about 70 million euros, and now his value is in the highest position, and the bonus benefit of the treble, we can get the most from selling him at this time. In another two years, not to mention the drop, in case we get injured and hit our hands, what will we do? ”

Speaking to his own people, Gillett spoke very bluntly, "I have done market research. The market for football is limited, and the value of players is about 70 million euros at most, and then there are fluctuations, which depends on personal means, and the player market cannot be bigger. Now, with this triple crown, his worth has reached its peak - it's like buying stocks, and when it reaches the top, why not sell it? ”

The value of a player fluctuates. But no matter how much the price changes, it must not be far from the value. The value of 70 million is basically the top number of football players, and if you meet a good trading master, you can improve a little more, but no matter how it is, it can't be too outrageous - something beyond the market, no one will want it.

Zhao Yaning's worth has now risen to the highest - at this point, his value is not determined by strength, but by the upper limit of the market. If they stay, there is a good chance that the price will be reduced due to injuries, regressions, contract problems, and team-mate conflicts, which is impossible for the team to accept – or rather, the two Americans are not willing to accept.

"But, didn't their boss Morse say that he could make money by keeping him?"

"We're not here for the sake of a few million dollars – it's a good thing to bring in millions a year, but now that we sell him, we can buy 70 million right away. The value of this team is still rising, and after a while, we sell the team and maybe another income. We are engaged in investment, not football, and why do we need to know about the ways to make money from football? ”

"However, if you win the championship, there are 60 million......"

"We are merchants, not gamblers. No matter how good a team is, it can't guarantee that it will win the championship every year, so it is wrong for us to regard the benefits of the championship as the benefits that we can definitely get. It's gambling, but we can't afford it. We are businessmen, investors, for us, selling low and buying high is what we have to do, since his value has reached the highest point, why not sell? ”

Hicks stopped talking, making money - that was their first thought. What a new stadium, what promises, what a future, they didn't think about it in the first place. It's just ridiculous that those Liverpudlians deceived them into making the crowd happy with the promise of a new stadium, and it was stupid to make them think that they were happy to pay for a babel who didn't take many years.

The Glazer relied on Manchester United to make money, did he use the money earned by Manchester United to pay off his debts, and squandered the rest by himself, but how much money did he make in that way? When they bought Liverpool, they originally made up their minds: to sell good players, buy a few so-called rising stars, rely on Liverpool's signboard, and then sell the club - this is called the white wolf with empty gloves.

As for the hatred of the fans...... If you go to the United States, which of you can find us? What's the use of you making trouble no matter how fierce you are, the money belongs to us, and everything you do is in vain.

"You're going to have to be careful. Looks like that guy doesn't really want to sell him. If you do this kind of thing well, there is no problem, but if you don't do it well, it will be a big trouble. ”

"Stupid football tradition...... However, it is precisely this kind of stupidity that is easy to use. "Tell Torres' agent that we won't give Torres a pay cut, and that he can keep his salary." At the same time, tell Gerald's agent that we will give him a good salary. Then, tell Zhao Yaning's agent - he should make some sacrifices for the team, the team does not have enough money, and he can't renew his contract this year, and he will renew the contract next year. ”

"If he doesn't accept it, say that he is asking for a high salary, blackmailing the team, and making the fans hate him?" Hicks laughed, "Football isn't that difficult!" What if he accepted it, though? ”

How could he agree? It's a battle for the status of the team. He can do without money, but if a young new striker is paid more than him, then what else is he messing with? At that time, we sold a lot of old players in the team and bought a bunch of new people, which made his feelings for the team decline, and the team found someone to scold him twice - just told the media that it was to let him renew the contract, and the media was willing to help - and then, find a big money, directly negotiate the contract with him, we pretended not to see, and when they negotiated, we jumped out and blamed it, and it was all together. "Besides, they have the Asian Cup to play this year, and he will definitely not be able to participate in the pre-season training matches." Can't we say that he is out of training? It's not easy to make a person learn well, and it's very simple to force a person to become bad. ”

But what if he really agreed? I'm talking about what if he's willing to sacrifice? ”

"Then, let's just say that he maliciously did not renew his contract and wanted a free transfer." Gillette glanced at Hicks, "Isn't it that simple to discredit a person?" ”
