Chapter 71 New Contract
"The hero stopped the ball with his chest... He easily squeezed away the rushing Rasimic... Long shot——!!"
"Anyukov's cross, very high... the football goes straight to the back post... another hero! He leaps high in the back post! Alexey Berezurski and Ignashevich also Jumping at the same time...they failed! Beautiful header! Goal! Goal!!!!"
The game highlights were still playing on the TV, but the attention of everyone in the room had been diverted from it.
Advocaat pointed to the TV screen and said to Konstantin Sasania who was sitting opposite him at the conference table: "I think the club should give him a good enough contract, the season is almost over. Who doesn't want to let go of a center forward who scored two goals against CSKA?"
Sasania frowned: "But his agent's asking price is too high..."
Advocaat doesn't care about this, he only cares about whether the club can keep and buy the players he wants.
"Actually even if his agent doesn't say that, other players' agents will ask you for a raise. Think about it, Konstantin. The team is sponsored by Gazprom, and this is Russia. The biggest company is rich. Why don't you give the players a raise?"
For Advocaat, Zenit is a wealthy local tyrant, and it is no loss for him to let them bleed. He also does not believe that Zenit can't get such a small amount of money.
"And if you let go of the hero because of this, even if we spend 1000 million euros in the transfer market, I'm afraid we won't be able to buy a center like him."
Advocaat isn't exaggerating at all.Now there are fewer and fewer pure centers like Chen Yingxiong.How important is such a powerful center to a team?With him, the team can have a fulcrum and a bridgehead when attacking in the frontcourt.With him, the team's offensive methods are more diversified.With him, the team also has a solution when facing the iron barrel... In short, an excellent and powerful center is very important to the team.
Now that the center has appeared in Zenit St. Petersburg, Advocaat certainly doesn't want to let him go.
He also knew that Chen Yingxiong's first contract was really shabby.It is really difficult to keep Chen Yingxiong with such treatment.He firmly believes that after half a season, the name of Chen Yingxiong will be known throughout Russia. If the Russian wolves know Chen Yingxiong's current contract, it will be a disaster...
"But what his agent wants is the highest salary in the team..." Sasania was still not reconciled, and just gave a kid the highest salary in this way, so what would the other players think?
"The price can be negotiated." Advocaat shrugged.Anyway, he hopes that the club will keep Chen Yingxiong no matter what means they use.
The club is not looking for him for the third or fourth place in the league here, but for the championship. Chen Yingxiong is an important pawn.
Sitting above the conference table, an old man who had been silent for a while suddenly spoke: "Mr. Advocaat, how important is that Chinese to the team?"
Everyone in the conference room looked at the Dutch coach.
The person who spoke was the club chairman Sergei_Fursenko (Sergei_Fursenko), what he meant by this was actually a statement-as long as your head coach thinks it is okay, then we will keep him.
Advocaat naturally knew what the club chairman meant, and he nodded without hesitation: "He is an important figure in the rise of Zenit!"
Potter froze for a moment.It was beyond his expectation that Dick gave this Chinese man such a high evaluation.At most, he thinks that Chen Yingxiong is a player with strength and potential, but he didn't expect to have such a high evaluation...
There was a burst of surprised discussions in the meeting room.
Advocaat actually gave such a high evaluation to a kid who has only been promoted to the first team for more than two months. None of them expected...
Fusenko nodded: "Very well, then give him the contract."
When Chen Yingxiong was practicing hard in the dungeon, he heard a cell phone ringing.
Then he saw Yesenin answer the phone.
At the same time, the moment he spoke, his voice changed.This voice stunned Chen Yingxiong for a moment, before he realized that it was Dracula, the vampire agent who hadn't appeared for a long time...
"Hello, Mr. Sasania." When Dracula spoke, it was completely inconsistent with Yesenin's image and temperament. His voice was full of aggressive aura, which was quite in line with his image as a vampire agent.
When Chen Yingxiong heard the name of the club's general manager, he pricked up his ears.
But to his disappointment, Dracula walked far away from the training field while answering the phone, and he couldn't hear anything.
Just when he was in a daze, the assistant coach Porter yelled in his ears: "Hero! What are you doing! You are still training now, don't be in a daze!"
I have to say that this dungeon system is too real, many times Chen Yingxiong ignores that the teammates and coaches in front of him are actually virtual...
After training for a while, Yesenin stood on the sidelines again, obviously the phone call was over.
After the training was over, he told Chen Yingxiong what happened just now.
"The club intends to speak to me about your new contract."
Chen Yingxiong grinned.
He likes to hear the news of his salary increase.
How many people in this world don't like money?Chen Yingxiong likes it, likes it very much, likes it very much!
Except for necessary expenses and remittances back home to help repay debts, he has very little money left.Prices in Russia are quite high.
Otherwise, why did he spend all day in the dungeon system?In addition to wanting to level up as soon as possible, he also couldn't afford to go out to play because of his lack of money—he couldn't let the head and deputy head treat him every time, right?
Chen Yingxiong is not such a stingy person.
"The two goals you scored against CSKA Moscow were decisive. Besides your header, you also showed your ability to shoot from distance. I think you managed to impress Ed Vokat, otherwise the club would not have I will agree to start new contract negotiations with us. Actually, it’s nothing. You are already well-known throughout Russia. I think even if Zenit doesn’t want you, there will be many teams vying for you. In short , you don’t have to worry about money.”
Chen Yingxiong smiled even brighter.
"In addition, I want to ask you, how many years do you plan to sign this time? Three years? Four years? Or five years?"
"The mental illness has only been signed for so many years, and the Russian league is a second-rate league. I still want to go to the top European league!" Chen Yingxiong clenched his fists and said. "Don't sign too long."
Yesenin nodded: "I understand, just sign for two years."
On the second day, Yesenin turned into Dracula and went to negotiate a contract with the club.
Zenit agreed to Dracula's salary and bonus requirements, but offered to sign for at least four years.
"Are you kidding? The contract expires in 2010, this is absolutely not acceptable!" Chen Yingxiong refused.
Dracula proposed to sign for two years, but the club did not agree.
"Two years? How is this possible? Is it necessary to sign a two-year contract? The hero is not 38 years old this year, how can he sign a two-year contract?" Sasania from the club was very impressed by the conditions proposed by Dracula. Unbelievable—he had never seen such a shameless agent, and he was able to say the two-year contract period.
The two sides were deadlocked again.
What to do about this?
The coping methods of Chen Yingxiong and Yesenin were very simple, very direct...very effective.
On November 4th, Zenit challenged Torpedo Moscow in an away game. Zenit won the game with a score of 2:[-], and Chen Yingxiong scored another goal in the game.
On November 20th, the league No.[-] has eight rounds.With three rounds left until the end of the league, Zenit are fourth and fifth-placed Nalchik Sparta are very close to them. This is a game that must be won.Because from the fourth in the league to the ninth in the league, the points are very close.If Zenit is not careful, it may fall short at the last moment of the league and lose the opportunity to enter Europe next season.
Under such circumstances, Chen Yingxiong once again used a goal to help the team win 2:0.Their opponent is Dynamo Moscow, a traditional giant in Russian football-of course, Dynamo has now fallen to No.15 in the league... It is considered a down-and-out giant.
With two rounds left in the league, Chen Yingxiong scored his ninth goal of the season.Considering he's only been playing first-team football since late September, that's an astonishing rate of goals...
The theme of every weekend in St. Petersburg media is "The hero scores!" "The hero scores again!" "The hero scores with a header!"
Chen Yingxiong's idea is very simple-if you don't sign with me, I will score goals and keep scoring goals.Either you sign with me or... I go to another team!With so many goals, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a more lucrative contract?
The media in St. Petersburg has long been dominated by Chen Yingxiong. Almost every week, there are large-scale reports on Chen Yingxiong, describing how he scored a goal in the game, how he scored, and the celebration after the goal... He is arrogant and unruly. In the eyes of the media, his personality has become the best hype gimmick, and St. Petersburg fans also fell in love with this guy who can score crazy goals and is merciless to the enemy.Russia is a country with serious racial discrimination, but in St. Petersburg, no one discriminates against this yellow-skinned Chinese.
When the Moscow media began to pay attention to Chen Yingxiong, the Zenit St. Petersburg club finally couldn't bear it...
Because a Moscow media revealed that CSKA Moscow is very interested in Chen Yingxiong!
Now, Zenit has satisfied whatever conditions Dracula proposed.
Two-year contract period!Forty thousand euros a week![-] euros appearance bonus!Four thousand euro goal bonus![-] EUR Winning Bonus!
In addition, Dracula also found a club for him and asked for a house in a high-end residential area in St. Petersburg, as well as a Land Rover DISCOVERY3.When Chen Yingxiong saw these additional things, he was stunned.
"I can't drive..." he said.
"Study." Yesenin's answer was concise and to the point.
When Chen Yingxiong signed his name on the contract text, Sasania smiled and held his hand, and he smiled unnaturally.
"Congratulations, hero. Now you are Zenit's highest paid player!"
Chen Yingxiong replied frantically: "Manager, I will let you spend the money worthwhile!"
Sasania put on a smile: "Ha, ha, ha..."
Advocaat patted Chen Yingxiong on the shoulder, and then extended his hand to him: "Welcome to become an important member of Zenit St. Petersburg, hero!"
Chen Yingxiong held the head coach's hand.
Near the end of the 2006 season, he joined midway, from a nobody to a minor celebrity. In the 2007 season, he will create his own era.He wants everyone to remember his name, and he can't forget it even if he wants to!
You are only allowed not to like it, but you are not allowed not to know!
