Chapter 411 I don’t understand football, but I know...
"Old Wang, the club did not agree to our conditions."
Before leaving for Jincheng, Wang Xianke received a call from his agent Tang Youwei at the airport about the latest progress in their recent contract renewal with Dashun Golden Arrow.
When Dashun Golden Arrow lured Wang Xianke from Shanhailuo Mariners, the contract he signed was for four years. Now that three years are almost up, there is still one year left on the contract.
Naturally, both parties will have to negotiate for contract renewal.
After all, Wang Xianke has done well in Dashun Golden Arrow, and his contract renewal is normal.
Contract renewal negotiations have actually started long ago, but Wang Xianke's annual salary requirements are very high. He offered an annual salary of 14 million in the new contract.
Originally, his annual salary of RMB 8 million was already the highest record among local coaches in the Chinese Super League. Now he wants to significantly refresh this record that he holds.
Although the annual salary of 14 million yuan is still not as good as that of those foreign coaches - after all, the foreign coaches change the currency after this number from RMB to euros - among the local coaches in Chinese football, this figure is It's enough to make people stunned.
He seems to want to use this method to declare that he is the well-deserved number one local coach in China. At the same time, he also implicitly told the Football Association - if you consider finding a local head coach for the Chinese national team, then I, Wang Xianke, will be your best. Choice!
But this number is far beyond the psychological endurance of Dashun Golden Arrow Club.
Originally, in order to poach Wang Xianke, the annual salary of 8 million offered was already the highest record among local head coaches, and it greatly exceeded the annual salary levels of other local head coaches. It stands to reason that even if the contract is renewed without a salary increase, the 8 million yuan is still a sky-high annual salary - there are still local head coaches in the Chinese Super League whose annual salary is not even 1 million yuan...
Of course, Wang Xianke led the team to the league championship and helped Dashun Football return to its former position. It seems unreasonable to renew the contract without increasing the salary.
Therefore, Dashun Golden Arrow Club originally planned to increase Wang Xianke's salary to 10 million, making him the first local head coach in the history of Chinese football with an annual salary of more than 10 million.
Who would have thought that Wang Xianke would claim an annual salary of 14 million, without discounts.
This makes it a bit impossible to continue talking.
The club plans to treat it coldly and let it go for a while.
Wang Xianke was not in a hurry at that time. The team's title defense situation was good at that time. He planned to wait until he led the team to successfully defend the title and win two consecutive Chinese Super League championships before talking to the club.
When the time comes, with the two consecutive Chinese Super League titles in his hands, he doesn't believe that the club will not agree to his conditions.
Who would have thought that the cooked duck flew away in the end...the league championship was snatched away by the South China Tigers.
Wang Xianke suddenly lost his biggest trump card in negotiating a contract extension with the club.
Otherwise, why would he be so angry after the team lost to Hedong Thunder in an away game? He roared and scolded the players in the locker room for half an hour. He was even late for the post-match press conference, asking all reporters to wait until he finished scolding the players before going to the meeting.
Because he lost six million a year!
Fortunately, in addition to the league, Dashun Golden Arrow also reached the FA Cup finals.
When it was confirmed that the opponent in the FA Cup final was a Chinese League One team, Wang Xianke even dreamed of a double championship, intending to use the limelight of the double championship to challenge the club's lions. He is not afraid that the club will agree, or he will change jobs if they don't agree. Anyway, many teams in the Chinese Super League now definitely want him to coach and bring them championships.
As a result, now that the league championship is lost, the FA Cup championship suddenly becomes the last straw.
Wang Xianke didn't even think about the lion talking, he just wanted to keep his annual salary of 14 million.
After losing the league championship, the Golden Arrow Club re-opened a contract for him. Nothing in this contract changed except the length of the contract.
Obviously the club is unhappy without the league title. They expressed their dissatisfaction in this way, and at the same time they had the confidence to offer Wang Xianke such conditions that nothing would change.
Wang Xianke asked his agent Tang Youwei to reject the contract. Of course, he did not continue to insist on his conditions. After all, without the league championship, the most important bargaining chip he could use was missing, and he could not continue to be tough.
The new condition he offered was that he could accept an annual salary of 8 million, but he asked for a championship bonus of 6 million: As long as he can lead the team to win the Chinese Super League championship next season, his annual income will actually still be 14 million. .
He said that this can motivate himself and the team, and the club will have nothing to lose - if he cannot lead the team to win the championship, then he does not need to pay the 6 million bonus. In fact, it is the same as the contract conditions proposed by the club.
But even if he had given in to this point, the Dashun Golden Arrow Club still did not agree.
Agent Tang Youwei called to tell him the result.
"It's okay, Old Tang. When I win the FA Cup, I will come back and talk to them slowly." Wang Xianke didn't care much about the bad news. He already had his own plan.
champion.
In competitive sports, only the champion is the "truth".
Wang Xianke always pays attention to convincing people with reason.
When the time comes, let him hold the FA Cup championship to tell Xue Chaoyu to bow his head!
He will put forward new conditions, which are not as simple as an annual salary of 8 million plus a championship bonus of 6 million...

"Tomorrow is the second round of the FA Cup final. Hu Lai, what are your expectations for this game? Many people in the outside world are saying that Flash Star is destined to lose. There is no need to work too hard in this game. There are many Fans are more concerned about how many goals you can score in the Chinese League this season... So what do you think? ”
A female reporter from CCTV was standing on the sidelines of the Provincial Sports Center in Jincheng, interviewing Hu Lai.
At this time, the Flash Star players had just finished their training to adapt to the field. The other players had returned to the locker room. Only two Flash Star players were left for interviews, one was Chen Xingyi and the other was Hu Lai.
Chen Xingyi had just finished the interview and was waiting for him to return to the locker room.
Faced with this question, Hu Lai answered very simply: "I don't think about how many goals I score in the Chinese League now. This game is the Football Association Cup final... I don't care what others think, but my goal is... There is only one thing, and that is to defeat the Golden Arrow and win the FA Cup”
The female CCTV reporter was surprised by Hu Lai's decisive answer.
Hu Lai's words were tough and resounding, but they didn't quite fit in with his previous image.
The female reporter thought that he would smile and talk about something. Even if he said he wanted to win the championship, he would add a gentle smile after finishing his words.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai said these words with almost murderous intent.
"But your opponent, Dashun Golden Arrow, is from the Chinese Super League..." The female reporter couldn't help but laugh, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
"We have gone all the way to the finals and have eliminated two Chinese Super League teams." Hu Lai interrupted her unceremoniously.
The female reporter once again confirmed that Hu Lai seemed... very murderous today.
Such Hu Lai made her feel strange, and even a little...scared. So she hurriedly ended the interview and wished Hu Lai and Shining Star good luck.
In her opinion, they really need good luck to achieve what Hulay said.
※※※
"Holy shit, Hu Lai, you got the spotlight... If I had known, I would have said my goal was to win the championship." Chen Xingyi regretted it as they walked back to the locker room together.
The reporter just asked him a similar question, asking him what his outlook for the final was. He honestly said that he would go all out in the game, and did not dare to mention his relationship with Dashun Golden Arrow, nor did he say anything. Harsh words.
As a result, Hu Lai announced so bluntly that his goal was to win the championship, which made the female reporter's eyes widen in shock.
Chen Xingyi regretted it at that time. He obviously asked him first... but he gave up such a good opportunity to show off to Hu Lai!
"Haha, after what you said, little Xingxing, aren't you afraid that Wang Xianke will wear your shoes when the loan ends?" Hu Lai sneered.
"Coach Wang's temper is a bit grumpy, but he's not so petty, right? Besides...oh, I haven't told you yet, have I? My dad has already settled the lease extension, so I will stay here next season. At Stars, another year on loan.”
Hu Lai turned to look at Chen Xingyi in surprise: "Can Golden Arrow agree to let you come?"
"It is said that Shining Star was directly aiming to buy me out at the beginning, but Golden Arrow disagreed. Shining Star took the next best option and said they wanted to rent me out. Golden Arrow asked for a rental fee and agreed. Waiting for the call After this season's games, the two clubs will announce this matter," Chen Xingyi said.
These details were also told to him by his father.
"Oh, that's great. Let's play in the AFC Champions League together then!" Hu Lai said.
"Haha, okay, no problem..." Chen Xingyi laughed twice and then stopped. He looked at Hu Lai with wide eyes: "What did you just say? Play in the AFC Champions League?"
"Yes, the winner of the FA Cup is also eligible to participate in the AFC Champions League. You don't know, right, little star?"
"Of course I know...No, are you so sure that we can win the FA Cup?"
"Yes, otherwise do you think I was just joking with that reporter? Are we working so hard just to get an excuse to 'go all out without regrets'? Or are you saying that after the first round, Are all the things you said to Director Zhao a lie?" Hu Lai looked at Chen Xingyi and asked repeatedly.
His eyes made the latter a little uncomfortable. He avoided Hu Lai's gaze and retorted: "Who said we were liars? Of course we want to win. It's just that football is round, Hu Lai..."< br>
"So what?" Hu Lai snorted.
When Chen Xingyi was about to ask him what, he saw a person coming from the end of the passage ahead and told him to shut up.
The person who came was Wang Xianke, the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrow. After training at Flash Star, the players of Dashun Golden Arrow also came to the field for adaptation training, and their head coach did not stay in the locker room. Instead, they came out, so the two sides met in the corridor.
Wang Xianke also saw two people. His eyes stopped on Hu Lai for a moment, and then turned to Chen Xingyi next to him.
"I agree that the club will continue to rent you to Flash Stars for another season. I have seen your performance in Flash Stars this season. It is not bad, but you have to keep working hard, so I will let you continue on loan for one year." Wang Xianke told Chen Xingyi Said, "Don't have any mental burden in tomorrow's game, just give it your best."
Chen Xingyi, who lowered his head, nodded quickly: "I understand, Director Wang, I will do my best..."
"Very good."
Wang Xianke didn't say anything more, just nodded and walked past the two people.
When his back was turned to the two people, his brows wrinkled again.
Hu Lixin's son seemed to have nothing strange after seeing him. Maybe that coward Hu Lixin didn't tell his family what happened to him, otherwise his son shouldn't be so calm after seeing me...
Wang Xianke thought in his heart.
※※※
Hu Lai retracted his gaze from Wang Xianke's back and continued walking to the home team's locker room with Chen Xingyi.
"Hey, little Xingxing, what kind of coach is Director Wang?" he asked casually on the way. "How do I feel that you don't even dare to speak to him when you meet him?"
"I have been scolded by him for a year, and I have a psychological shadow..." Chen Xingyi said with a bitter smile. "Director Wang is a very, very strict person, and he and our Director Zhao can be said to be two extremes. You can joke and play tricks in front of Director Zhao, but if you dare to try this in front of Director Wang? I'll blow your head off! I will drive you directly to the reserve team to reflect and let you figure out who is the boss of this team before you can come back..."
Hu Lai was stunned: "Is that an exaggeration?"
"It's no exaggeration. He attaches great importance to the authority of the head coach and does not allow anyone to challenge his majesty. Let me give you an example - he requires all our players to have their legs spread shoulder-width apart when listening to him in training. , put your hands behind your back, raise your chest and look up at him... Otherwise, you are disrespecting him."
"Damn, what a pervert!" Hu Lai cursed.
"Well, you can't say that... He just wants to cultivate the team's style of commanding and forbidding. Of course, sometimes he goes too far. But the results speak for themselves, so everyone has nothing to say."
< br>
Hu Lai pouted: "It's not like only his way can win the championship. Otherwise, how could the Golden Arrow lose the league championship this season? Of course, they will also lose the FA Cup championship soon! And you, little star, you will Awesome, you will become the only Golden Arrow player to win the league championship and FA Cup championship!”
“This is the first time I heard that the ‘Double Champion’ is the champion of China League One and the Football Association Cup...”
"What are you doing? Looking down on the Chinese League One? Let me tell you, Brother Lin came from the Chinese Super League to play in the Chinese League One!"
"No, no, brother, you have the final say..."
※※※
"...This afternoon, the Chinese Super League runner-up Dashun Golden Arrow team, which just arrived in Jincheng, conducted training to adapt to the venue at the Jincheng Provincial Sports Center..."
In conjunction with the announcer's voice, the TV screen showed Dashun Golden Arrow training, and then Dashun Golden Arrow's head coach Wang Xianke appeared on the screen.
At the same time, the announcer said: "On the sidelines, Wang Xianke, the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrow, accepted our interview and talked about the upcoming second round of the final. Although he was already two goals ahead, Wang Xianke still seemed very cautious. , he said..."
"The one who is so naughty is Wang Xianke..."
Xie Lan couldn't help but curse in front of the TV.
In fact, during the first round of the final, she had seen this face more than once in the game broadcast. But at that time, she didn't know what the owner of this face had done to her husband, so she just saw it and didn't take it to heart at all.
But now, she stared at the TV screen, trying to imprint this face firmly in her mind.
"Yeah." Hu Lixin, who was sitting next to her, responded while watching the TV.
"It's not a good thing at first glance. Look at his triangular eyes, his sloppy mouth, and..." Xie Lan pointed at Wang Xianke on the screen and cursed.
Hu Lixin couldn't stop: "Well, it's useless for you to scold him here."
"It's no use, I can vent my anger! HE——TUI!"
Seeing his wife actually spitting at the TV, Hu Lixin was shocked: "Calm down! When he leads the team to defeat your son tomorrow, why don't you smash the TV? So let's not watch it tomorrow. Have you competed?”
Xie Lan glared at him: "Look! Why don't you look? Who told you that our son will definitely lose? I told you Hu Lixin, at this time, you must stand unswervingly on our son's side, absolutely not Talking nonsense that exaggerates others’ ambitions and destroys one’s own prestige!”
"The strength gap between the two sides is so huge, and the total score is still two goals behind... Do you really think that turning a comeback is as easy as treating a guest to a meal?"
Xie Lan waved his hand and said domineeringly: "Don't tell me so much. I don't understand football. I just know one thing. The star must win in this game, and that melon Wang Xianke must die!"
Hu Lixin opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he closed it again when he saw his wife's vicious eyes. (End of chapter)
