Champion’s Heart - v6 Chapter 36
The Chinese team has entered the rhythm of preparing for the Brazil team, and perhaps the most severe game they are currently facing, it will also determine whether they can continue to go on in this World Cup-the words, it seems that China The team didn’t have that game that was not severely tested…
At this time, Zhou Yi received a call from his agent Schulte.
“I’m sorry, Zhou Yi. Actually, I shouldn’t disturb you at this time… but I certainly can’t make up my mind on this matter, and the other party is in a hurry, and has called me several times… “
“Okay, Tino, would you say something directly?”
“Uh, it’s like this… Four days ago, I received a call from Spain. They told me that they were from the Real Madrid Club. I wanted to ask you if you have any thoughts about playing at Bernabeu… You are training with the team, preparing for the game with Spain, so I didn’t call you. And you know, there are so many tentative calls for this club, if you are looking for you every time, you I might be dismissed…so I didn’t tell you, I think it’s just a routine. But they have made four more calls in the past few days, each time asking me if you want to play in Real Madrid. Thought, I think I should say something to you so I can give them a reply…”
Zhou Yi was a little surprised when he heard Real Madrid was interested in him at the beginning, but he didn’t interrupt Shultze’s words, but waited for him to finish everything.
“Go to Real Madrid to play?” he asked Shulze.
“Yes, yes. They made several calls in a row, and they looked a little anxious.”
“What advice do you have, Tino?” Schultzer is Zhou Yi’s agent. Although many ideas are eventually taken by Zhou Yi, he always has to consult his own agent, otherwise he will find his agent to do it. ?
“I think this is a good opportunity, Zhou Yi. If you want to go to a higher level, then you have to go to a larger giant and go to a wider stage. I don’t just mean at the competitive level, but also at In terms of influence, in terms of commercial value… it’s all so. I never persuaded you to leave Dortmund, because you said you still want to win the championship in Dortmund, then now you have won all the championships in Dortmund You even helped them get some more, so what other reason can prevent you from leaving?”
As an agent, Schultzer certainly hopes that his players will leave Dortmund and go to a bigger club. This is not only because he can withdraw commissions from the transfer, but also means that Zhou Yi can have greater influence and commercial value. He can also help Zhou Yi earn more money and reflect his value as a broker.
“Are there any bigger players in this world besides Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona? No more. But Bayern Munich, you will definitely not go. As far as Barcelona and Real Madrid are concerned, Barcelona looks very suitable for you. , Real Madrid is also good, depending on your personal choice.”
Shultzer left the choice to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi pondered.
He also felt that it was time to leave Dortmund. He could have left last summer to help Dortmund win the Champions League. That was a great opportunity. But Goetze and Lewandowski left in succession, making it impossible for him to abandon the mother team that was in the storm. In that case, it was too ruthless. So he chose to stay.
At that time, he had an idea in mind, no matter what the final result of this season, he will leave Dortmund to pursue higher challenges.
As a result, he didn’t expect that this season he also helped Dortmund to win the league and the Champions League double crown. There is no more suitable time to say goodbye.
At this time, he didn’t owe Dortmund anything, and no one could accuse him of being ruthless.
The only question is where to go.
As Schulte said, after he helped Dortmund win two Champions League titles and four league titles, there are only a handful of teams in the world that can allow him to leave the familiar environment.
Only Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid can really be more powerful than Dortmund.
Serie A has declined overall, so all Serie A teams will not work.
In the Premier League, Manchester United in the Ferguson era is a good choice, but now Manchester United is no longer. Wenger’s Arsenal could have been there, but now Arsenal is in chaos. People are increasingly questioning Wenger. What will happen after he has gone, it is not easy to say.
Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City are similar. If you want to go to the next level, why should you go to these teams?
Therefore, it’s a good fit for the Western Super Twins.
Barcelona’s tactical style may be more in line with their style of play, they have also been looking for Harvey’s successor.
Real Madrid is well-known as the best team of the twentieth century. They desperately need to break Barcelona’s repression and be thirsty.
Whether joining Real Madrid or Barcelona, it’s good.
But Zhou Yi doesn’t want to make such a decision now. It’s still a long time before the transfer window is closed. Who knows what will happen in between?
As Zhou Yi pondered, Shultze suddenly said: “Oh, I almost forgot. Real Madrid said to me that if you agree to join, they will directly start the penalty clause in your contract with Dortmund.”
“Liquidated damages? How much is my liquidated damages?” Zhou Yi himself was a little confused.
“Ninety million! Euro!” Schultzer said loudly.
“Wow, generous.” Zhou Yi sighed. Ninety million euros, if you pay, you can do this, I am afraid there are not many clubs in this world. “Strange, Real Madrid was not boring to me before, but it has never been so interesting…
“I think there is a very important reason, probably because you led Dortmund to defeat them in the Champions League final.” Schulzer laughed.
“Huh? I won them, so the more interested they are in me… Does Real Madrid have Stockholm syndrome?”
“The dream of the ten crowns is broken, and you are the one who crushed their dreams by hand. If you can’t beat you on the court, then of course you will be taken under your control. This is in line with the style of Florentino. And He insisted that Real Madrid’s big-name signing would be the world’s top player, so if Real Madrid is willing to smash 90 million euros for you, it means you are the world’s top player.”
After listening to Shultzer’s explanation, Zhou Yi felt it made sense. It is not uncommon in professional football to buy such a person who has given him a headache.
This is not the first time he has beaten Real Madrid in the Champions League. Last time Dortmund won the Champions League last time, he also defeated Real Madrid in the semifinals.
Real Madrid have won the UEFA Champions League for two consecutive seasons, both of which have been planted on the same opponent, and indeed forced them to dig Dortmund.
Zhou Yi is not exclusive to going to Real Madrid, but he will not make a decision easily, so he said to Shultze: “You tell Real Madrid, I don’t think about any transfers now, I will only concentrate on the national team Competition. To discuss whether to transfer or not, let’s wait until the World Cup of the Chinese team is over. If they are still so interested, then you can talk about it.”
“Okay, just do what you said. In addition, congratulations to you to reach the round of 16 in the World Cup, Zhou Yi. In fact, I think that if the penalty that we signed with Dortmund was 100 million euros, Real Madrid will not do You paid for the money… By the time, you will be Mr. 100 million euros, the world’s first player worth 100 million euros, hey…” Shultzer couldn’t help but look forward to the future like that. Suck mouth. When Bell transferred to Real Madrid, he also claimed a transfer fee of 100 million euros, but in fact did not reach 100 million, it seems to be 96 million euros.
“Don’t think about it that much, the characters haven’t been written yet.” Zhou Yi bolded Shultzer’s fantasy.
Hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi thought about what Real Madrid is interested in him. If he can really go to Real Madrid to play, it would be good. Whether it is the honor of the club or the popularity of the team, the influence in the world That is far from what Dortmund can match. As a Chinese, I’m afraid I have a deeper understanding of Real Madrid’s influence.
When Real Madrid came to China in 2003, the sensation caused at that time was really described as “all people are empty”.
There are also many European teams coming to China to play commercial games, and there are also a lot of giants, but only the Real Madrid can reach the scale of 2003.
Even if he had just experienced a China trip with Dortmund, Zhou Yi felt that Dortmund’s influence and scale at that time were not comparable to Real Madrid.
So for how to improve in Real Madrid, Zhou Yi himself is very clear.
But he just thought about it and left it behind.
As he said, the World Cup is currently the top priority, and the future of the individual cannot be compared with the collective honor.
So Zhou Yi did not say this, and no one knew that Real Madrid was pursuing him frantically.
※※※
On the other side, Shultze replied to Real Madrid and expressed their gratitude to Zhou Yi for their interest, but now for him, the most important thing is the World Cup, so before the World Cup game ends, he does not consider any ball The team talked about the transfer.
Real Madrid certainly understands Zhou Yi’s approach, but they also noticed the key words in Schulzer’s words.
“Don’t you consider talking to any team?”
“Yes, I won’t talk to any team, not just you.” How could Schulte not understand what Real Madrid’s focus is.
“Is this… Zhou Yi’s original words?”
“of course.”
“Huh…Ok, thank you, you have worked hard, Mr. Schulzer. I hope we can establish good communication between us and can keep in touch…”
“Of course, no problem, it should be.” Schulzer agreed readily. As an excellent broker, how could he not do this?
Hanging up the phone, Schulte couldn’t help but look forward to Zhou Yi’s transfer to Real Madrid.
Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the best team of the 20th century, Real Madrid.
Joining such a team for 90 million euros almost means that it is the core player of this team, and the status is self-evident.
At that time, Zhou Yi’s personal image will also be linked to Real Madrid, which has been greatly improved.
The business value is naturally high.
However, Real Madrid’s management of portrait rights is a bit troublesome…they want to occupy 50%.
In this way, is it necessary to compensate for the salary?
Zhou Yi’s annual salary in Dortmund is 8 million euros. If he goes to Real Madrid, his annual salary must not be lower than this, but only higher.
How tall is it?
The total pre-tax salary of 23 Real Madrid first-team players last season was 184 million euros. The salary level of the team is divided into five grades. The lowest representative is young talented players such as Jose and Nacho. Because of their junior qualifications and unstable positions within the team, they have only 1.2 million annual after-tax salary .
The fourth gear is players such as Hedira and Diego Lopez, although they have an important role in the lineup, but the wages are not high, their after-tax wages are only two million euros.
The third gear is for key players like Pepe, Di Maria and Modric, between 3.5 million and 5 million euros.
The second-tier players include star players such as Casillas, Xavi Alonso, Ramos and Benzema, and their annual after-tax salary is about 5.5 million to 6 million euros.
The first gear is significantly ahead of the second gear, with an after-tax annual salary of more than 10 million. Only two people in the team have this treatment. One is Bell, who joined the team last season, and the annual salary before tax is 2,280. One hundred thousand euros, about 11 million after tax. The other is Real Madrid’s leading star, Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, with an annual salary of 35.3 million euros before tax and 17 million euros after tax.
This is no secret. This is the annual salary data of the Real Madrid first team publicly disclosed by the media. According to this data, Schulze began to position Zhou Yi to facilitate the future asking price when negotiating a contract with Real Madrid.
In his mind, Zhou Yi must be a player of the same grade as Cristiano Ronaldo and Bell. The annual salary after tax must be 10 million.
This level of income can be regarded as a leap for Zhou Yi. UU reading books www.uukanshu. com
You should know that although Zhou Yi is now receiving an annual salary of 8 million in Dortmund, it is pre-tax, and the tax rate in Germany is as high as 45%, so the 8 million is basically cut in half. Money.
The annual salary data of Real Madrid just now are all after tax.
Schultzer hopes to earn Zhou Yi more than 11 million euros in after-tax annual salary.
He believes that Zhou Yi’s personal ability and the importance of the team must be better than Bell, so Zhou Yi should take so much money.
And he also has the advantage that Real Madrid is now looking for him thirstyly, instead of taking the initiative to find a door to sell Zhou Yi, and made four calls within four days.
Since Real Madrid is so anxious and so sincere, then Schulzer can naturally sit down and start bidding.
When he thought of Zhou Yi’s annual salary figures, Schulze was all excited himself, so excited that he couldn’t sleep.
