The Ball at Your Feet

After finishing these things, Zhang Yuan returned the topic to this summer’s arrangement. "This summer, there will be no matches on the national team. It wasn't until August 30 that the national team had a friendly match, and then they had to Go to the United States and play with major league teams. This time the national team training, as mentioned above, these people who are playing abroad do not need to go back for the time being. Moreover, you are not allowed to be here at the club. If you return home in the summer, you can stay in Monaco and practice your skills."

The national team will set off for a series of friendly matches in the United States at the end of August and early September. Because the schedule conflicts with the schedule of the European League, several players in Europe do not have to return home. Because the object of the game is the Los Angeles Galaxy, New York Metro stars and other teams, so it is not a national team A-level event, Zhao Yaning has no need to participate.

And Zhang Yuan still has something to say: He heard people say that this training camp is not the meaning of the national team coach Ali Han, but the above thoughts. The reason is that Zhang Yuan's heart is chilled: the national team's various competitions abroad this year are all free.

If it is possible to play games between national teams for free, how can it be free to play friendly matches with the major leagues? Where did this money go? Zhang Yuan was not clear about this, but he knew in his heart that this money would not be donated to Project Hope anyway.

If it is for the honor of the national team to play, Zhang Yuan would swear in the street, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't say anything. But in order to make money for the guys above, Zhang Yuan could not accept it all the way to the United States to play football. In case of injury, who is it? The Football Association's upper lip touched his lower lip, saying that he was sacrificed for the national team. Who is he going to cry for as an agent?

Besides, Monaco will not allow Zhao Yaning to go back to China this summer-the domestic SARS epidemic was extremely violent a while ago. Although it has improved a bit this time, it remains to be seen how the situation is. Considering that Zhao Yaning is of Chinese nationality, Monaco notified Zhang Yuan early and told him that Zhao Yaning could not be allowed to return to China. Avoiding dangerous sports that may cause injuries, medicines, plagues, etc. are all stipulated in the player's contract. Zhao Yaning has the responsibility not to return to China this summer.

This incident made Zhang Yuan a little depressed. Originally, he thought that Monaco won the championship and asked Zhao Yaning to take the championship trophy to his hometown for a parade, which is very popular. Now it is good. He can only stay in Monaco and play honestly.

"This SARS has caused a serious incident, and now I dare not return to China, for fear that the French side will not allow entry. You won a championship, it is the time for the hype. This time is good, there is nothing left. "Zhang Yuan was a bit aggrieved about the infectious disease. "Moreover, you have to donate some money to show that."

"This money should be donated... how much should I donate?" Zhao Yaning thought for a moment, "Since I am going to build a football base this year and I don't have much money left, then I'll just be happy. I will take all the winning prizes this season and The champion’s prize money is donated."

After the player wins, there is a bonus. It is customary in Ligue 1 that for every match won in the league, players can get a prize of 4,000 euros. Of course, sometimes when you meet a strong team, your bonus will increase. For example, Monaco stipulates that when you meet Lyon, Paris, Bordeaux, and Nice, the prize money is doubled, because the first three are rivals, and Nice is a derby. When I met Marseille, because it was both a derby and a strong enemy, it even gave a triple bonus.

But this season, Monaco hasn't won any of the four Blue Coast Derby games, and the derby record of three draws and one loss is terrible. The match against Bordeaux was also a draw and one loss. In these six games, the bonus was doubled, and there was no bonus. It's against Lyon and Paris, because the four wins have a lot of bonuses.

This season, Monaco's 23 victories, including the slightly less prized cup and the last two championship prizes, the total amount is about 150,000 euros-almost a quarter of Zhao Yaning's salary.

Zhao Yaning didn't know how much to donate, but in his opinion, donating all of his winning prizes was quite memorable.

But this thought made Zhang Yuan frowned, "You donated too much."

"Not too much..."

"The Premier League’s Sun Jihe only donated 10,000 US dollars. Our country’s largest donation is Hao Dapao, and he also donated 100,000. Our hometown team, the whole team only donated 180,000. You breathe a sigh of relief. Throw out one and a half million dollars. People in China must be unhappy about doing things like this."

"Just donated so much?" Zhao Yaning was a little surprised, "I thought everyone who played football was quite rich."

Zhang Yuan glanced at him and said nothing. Except for the lucky guy Zhao Yaning, who won a sponsorship contract of 40 million yuan in one breath thanks to his excellent performance in the World Cup, everyone else, who has this luck? Moreover, after all, China has not been professional for a long time, and there is not much time to really make money. Take Fan Zhiyi as an example. On the eve of professionalization in 1994, he was still holding a salary of 2,500 yuan a month. At that time, his coach, Coach Xu, also But relying on the length of service to get a salary of 4,000 yuan, at that time the transfer fee of the league's top scorer was only 50,000 yuan. It's not easy for them to save some money in less than ten years of professionalism. How can they use it easily?

"The entire football circle only donated 8 million yuan. The most donated is Renjia Dongbei, and the boss’s donation is counted in the team, but it is only more than three million. You donate one hundred and five. One hundred thousand, who are you trying to slap in the face? Don't do that." Zhang Yuan disagrees with Zhao Yaning's approach.

"When you say that, I want to donate more." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "Since they have donated 8 million, then I will donate 2 million and make a whole."

"If you really have money to burn, or are willing to do good deeds, can we donate money anonymously?" Zhang Yuan said helplessly.

"No, it's just donating in my name. Moreover, if you ask a reporter to give me an interview, it will focus on donating money." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "I just want the domestic media to report it well and let them know that I donated. A large sum of money."

"What's the picture?" Zhang Yuan asked rhetorically.

"I just want people who play in China to know that I have money." Zhao Yaning replied, "Don't they all feel that playing at home is safe and comfortable, there is no risk, and they are not willing to take risks abroad? I will let them know , How much money I can make, let them know what it is like to be famous abroad. I just want to stimulate them and let them know what to do."

"Then if you break your relationship with people in your circle..."

"So you have to make a list for me about this matter, and write down those whom I need to explain. I just call them and apologize."

This statement surprised Zhang Yuan again. In his memory, Zhao Yaning didn't like to actively contact those people, but now it seems that he has really changed a lot.

I really don't know if it is a good thing.

"Speaking of your money, I have one more thing to tell you." Zhang Yuan remembered something, "Your salary now seems to be a bit low, should you ask the team to sign a new contract? ?"

Zhao Yaning has never thought about this issue. The club’s conditions are not very good, and he is not short of money, so he has not thought about the issue of the new contract.

"Isn't the salary low? Joaquin had only 300,000 salary last season, only half of mine." Zhao Yaning remembered the salary of the player he had heard, "He only has 300,000, and I get 600,000. That's a lot."

"He was because he played for the team that trained him, and of course he sacrificed. Didn't you see him asking for an annual salary of 1.5 million euros from the team this season?"

This Zhao Yaning really doesn’t know ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but he just shrugged, "I can’t get that kind of money. The club’s highest annual salary is only 1.2 million, 1.5 million. That's a dream."

"But it's not an exaggeration to ask for a higher salary contract."

"Forget it." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "I didn't intend to stay in Monaco for a long time. It would be a bit of a **** to clamor for a new contract year after year. The club treats me well, I can't do that. And originally I don’t rely on the contract to get food, so why bother."

The contract is not to eat, but to prove your team's status. Don’t you think that Raul’s salary is the first in Real Madrid, and Joaquin’s is the first in Real Betis’s salary, all because of the difference between Ronaldo, Zidane, and Denilsen? Not yet to prove their status. If you don't have a high salary, who would believe you if you have a high status?

But fortunately, if the salary is low, you will not be stuck because of this problem when you transfer in the future, and it will be more convenient to transfer at that time.

"If that's the case, you should consider giving Cordia a new contract." Zhang Yuan said, "You and his contract, he can only eat a percentage of your salary. He can't get much money. If you take so much, he will definitely not do well. Sign a new one with him and let him take a percentage of your endorsement fee."

With this question, Zhao Yaning patted his head, "Why didn't I pay attention? Brother Zhang thanks you for reminding me. However, Brother Zhang, are you really unwilling to be my agent?"

"If you say quit, you can't go back. And... I can't eat you for the rest of my life, I always have to do something else."

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Yaning asked rhetorically.

"You don't care about these things." Zhang Yuan smiled, "There are some things, it's better for you to know less."
