Fox in the Penalty Area

Matt Dawn was guarding the door of the office of Jarrad Coleman, the club's athletic director. When he saw the latter coming out of the room, he rushed up and stopped in front of him.

"! Matt, you scared the hell out of me!" Coleman was literally startled - literally - and he jumped up. After seeing clearly that it was Matt Dawn, he cursed angrily.

But Matt didn't care about his swearing at all, but stared him in the eyes and asked, "Mr. Coleman, has the club made an offer to the club?"

"Reported, reported, reported..." Coleman was very impatient, "but we were rejected mercilessly by the other party! Let me tell you, Matt, the club has achieved what you hoped, but what will happen to the opposing club? The reaction is beyond our control. I think this should give you an explanation, right?"

That is, some time ago, Matt Dawn, the team's video analyst, went directly to the club's new chairman, Evan Chichester, and frantically recommended a Chinese player he had never heard of before. .

He also said that the Chinese player had just completed the "feat" of scoring five goals in nine minutes in a level international competition.

Speaking of this, Coleman finally had a little impression. He remembered that he had seen relevant news somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it came from. It might have popped up when he was browsing the web. What recommended reading...

He didn't take it too seriously at the time, after all, it was a high-level event.

Besides, it is still a game in far away Asia. What is the significance of a record born in a place where the level of football is not high?

We still have 20 goals in a game in our "Sunday League", but so what? Will anyone take such a ridiculous record seriously?

The "Sunday League" that Coleman thinks of is the collective name for England's ultra-low-level amateur leagues, because most of the games are played on Sundays, all over the country, organized by different communities, and neighbors on the same street can organize a team Participating in the league, the names are different from place to place, and when mentioned as a whole, they are collectively referred to as "Sunday League".

The level of this kind of competition is very low, and most of the participants just want to have fun.

But Matt kept looking for Evan, which annoyed Evan, but it was not easy to refuse directly. After all, the club had just fired his good friend Tony Clark, and Evan still wanted to be in the club. Keep a little demeanor in front of the old people, and don't want to leave an impression of being too unkind to them.

So I let myself, the athletic director, deal with Matt.

As athletic director,

Coleman felt that he was still very serious and responsible. He really went to find out some basic information about this, and found that he was a player of a Chinese League One football club and was the main force. He also scored a lot of goals last season, which should be the reason why he can play the main force.

After knowing the basic information of the player, he made an offer to the opposing club.

Then... was rejected by the other party.

But Coleman didn't care, because it was an explanation to his boss—it's not that we don't pay attention to your suggestion, what if they don't sell us?

Hearing Coleman's explanation, Matt was a little frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

He understands that he is the main player of a Chinese Super League team and has made great contributions in the process of upgrading the team.

He has just been promoted to the Super League now, and it is indeed not so easy to let him go.

Coleman saw that Matt didn't speak any more, so he walked around him and planned to leave.

At this moment, Matt came back to his senses and saw that Coleman was about to leave, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Coleman, would you mind telling me how much the club bid?"

Coleman didn't turn his head, and left without stopping, only the voice came from "500,000."

"What?!" After Matt heard Coleman's answer clearly, he blurted out his surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "You only offered half a million?!"

Coleman, who walked away, didn't answer him, and he didn't know whether he didn't hear him or didn't want to answer.

Matt stared in a daze at the direction Coleman was leaving, and it took him a while to react, cursing, "Damn it! You just want to buy it for half a million?! No wonder you were rejected by the opposing club! Look down on people!"

In the game, Matt spent a million pounds to dig Hammond Castle.

And that was a year ago, and the data is completely different from today's data. With the release of the new version of "The Godfather of Champions", the data of the game has also been improved more comprehensively.

Matt used to manipulate Hammond Castle to buy Holly, but this time let alone one million pounds, even five million pounds, the club did not agree.

In the end he had to use nuclear weapons to sign directly to the Hammond Castle team. Because the transfer budget of Hammond Castle in the game is not much, if he spends more money to sign, then the signings in other positions will be affected.

Even the game knows that it is impossible to sign 500,000 yuan. How much water did Coleman think that such a small amount of money can make the opponent give up his top scorer?

When Matt first heard that the club's offer was rejected, he wanted to go to Evan again to emphasize to him how great his potential is, and now he is signed before other teams react. For Hammond Castle, it is definitely a lucrative business. Whether it is for personal use or training and then sold, from the perspective of the club, it is absolutely not a loss.

But now he suddenly dismissed the idea.

Because he realized that Coleman's attitude was probably the attitude of the club, and it was also the attitude of Evan.

It should be impossible for me to convince Evan again.

Besides, taking a step back, even if Hammond Castle signed under his own persuasion, for that young man, the current Hammond Castle might not be a suitable environment for him to grow up.

If Tony is still there, then I will definitely let him persuade the club's top management to sign this promising talented player.

But now...

Thinking of this, Matt sighed helplessly.

I'm afraid I can only cooperate with him in the game.

Hu Lai hung a golden Asian Cup championship medal around his neck, held the trophy for the best player in his left hand, and the trophy for the top scorer in his right hand, standing in the center. Beside them are Chen Xingyi and Wang Guangwei, the latter two only have gold medals hanging around their necks.

They were smiling for the cameras and flashlights of the reporters.

This is the welcome ceremony held by the Flash Star Club for them.

The leaders have already spoken, and the contract renewal ceremony has also been held-at this welcome ceremony, the Flash Star Club also held the contract renewal signing ceremony for two players, Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei.

The specific renewal contract has been negotiated with the club through the work of the two player agents.

Wang Guangwei also signed a new four-year contract with the club. The good news is that Hu Lai can no longer ask him if he has a monthly salary of 150,000 yuan, because he really does.

But the bad news is that Hu Lai can ask him if he has a monthly income of 250,000 yuan-Hu Lai's new four-year contract has brought his monthly salary to 250,000 yuan-an annual salary of 3 million.

In addition, there is a signing fee of 2 million.

Hu Lai's goal award has also increased to 20,000 per goal. If calculated based on his 41 goals in the club last season, Hu Lai can get 820,000 for the goal award alone, which is nearly One million.

The new contract also stipulates that if Hu Lai can get the Chinese Super League Golden Boot within the contract period, he can get a reward of 2 million each time he gets it.

It can be said that compared with the previous contract, it has been improved in all aspects. Through these monetary figures, it can also be seen how much the Flash Star Club attaches importance to Hu Lai.

The annual salary of 3 million RMB is already the highest in the second tier in the Flash Star team.

After being promoted to the Super League, the Flash Star Club renewed the contract with some players, including players like Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei and Zhang Qinghuan, all of whom had different salary increases.

After the contract renewal is completed, Qin Lin, with 4 million yuan, is still the player with the highest annual salary in the team. However, there is only one year left in his contract. Although he and the club have not said it publicly, everyone can more or less guess that this year should be the last season of his career.

Besides Qin Lin, Hu Lai had the highest annual salary.

At only 20 years old, Hu Lai became the second highest-paid player in the team, but this did not cause dissatisfaction or jealousy among other people in the team.

Han Xiangfei even used the content of the chat with Hu Lai before he represented the team for the first time to prove that Hu Lai is a genius.

When Hu Lai discussed Lai Zekai's annual salary with him, Hu Lai also asked himself whether the club would re-sign his contract and give him a salary increase when the season was over.

"Then how good do you have to be to make the club re-sign the contract with you in half a year?" Han Xiangfei repeated his original answer, and said with emotion, "As a result, Hu Lai signed a new contract every year and raised his salary every year! Awesome!"

Han Xiangfei's words also represent the thoughts of other teammates to some extent

Hu Lai is awesome!

Because he is awesome, it is no problem for him to get such a high salary.

Back then when Lai Zekai had a quarrel with the club, he felt that the club didn't give him a salary of one million, which was too stingy, stingy, and unreasonable.

At that time, Lai Zekai's confidence was only to score 16 goals last season.

What about Hu Lai? He has only played in the team for one and a half seasons, and he has already scored 52 goals.

With such a performance, he did not argue with the club for a salary increase, nor did he keep complaining in the locker room that he was begging for food.

It was the club who took the initiative to give him a salary increase.

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and everyone knows who is worthy and who is not.

Flash Star, as a small club, was able to renew the contract with Hu Lai with an annual salary of 3 million and a signing fee of 2 million, which also reflected their determination to keep the team's top scorer.

Hu Lai performed well in the Chinese League One last season, but the number of Chinese Super League teams he can attract is still limited. However, his outstanding performance in the FA Cup has made many Chinese Super League teams set their sights on him.

Then after his amazing performance in the Asian Cup, Hu Lai completely became the favorite of the Chinese Super League team.

Even the Poseidon Club came to Shanxing to ask the price with a shy face, even though they knew that the asking price would be rejected...

This shows how much everyone yearns for Hu Lai.

After all, today's Chinese Super League, and even the entire Chinese football world, lack stable and efficient excellent scorers.

I don’t know if it’s because the training of Chinese football talents has been biased by the world’s popular trends in recent years, or because of the tendency to introduce foreign aid. The local shooters in the Chinese Super League are basically playing the role of helping the team’s foreign forwards. Tactically, perhaps It's very important, after all, playing for teammates can also reflect the overall quality of a player.

But it is indeed a recognized phenomenon that it is difficult for local forwards to score goals.

The Chinese Super League specially set up a "best local shooter" in addition to the "top scorer". Naturally, it hopes to stimulate and encourage local forwards to score more goals.

But every year after the end of the season, looking at the difference in the number of goals between the top scorer and the best local scorer, people have to wonder whether the original intention of this award is to encourage local strikers to score more goals, or to reward those who have not played in a season. A consolation prize in disguise for a local striker who can't score a few goals?

Every old fan is deeply moved. Chinese football, which has cultivated many excellent forwards, will fall into the dilemma of "weak front".

In this context, Hu Lai is naturally a scorer that many teams dream of.

Having no experience in the Chinese Super League is not a problem at all. His performance in the two international competitions of the Olympic team has already dispelled many people's doubts.

Now as long as you are not a fool, anyone in the circle can see that a super shooter in Chinese football is gradually growing up, and whoever can own his future can occupy a place in the Chinese Super League.

Because of this, when the three of them took a group photo and the ceremony entered the reporter's questioning session, most of the questions were thrown at Hu Lai.

Poor Chen Xingyi contributed five assists in this Asian Cup and became the player with the most assists in this tournament. Standing next to Hu Lai, under the aura of top scorer and best player, it is almost dimmed ...

Even if the question asked was clearly shared by all three of them, Hu Lai was the first to call the name.

"Missing the team's first month of training will indeed have some impact on us, but we will work hard to make up for it later." Hu Lai seems to be able to feel this atmosphere, so he did not boast in front of the camera, but It was very simple to say a few words, and handed the microphone to Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi who were next to him.

"Hu Lai, this is your first time participating in the Chinese Super League. Do you have any expectations and visions for the new season? Or do you have any goals?"

Hu Lai picked up the microphone and did not answer, but stretched it out in front of Chen Xingyi, "It's your first time participating in the Chinese Super League, so tell me!"

Chen Xingyi resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Hu Lai in front of the camera, "I am not, I have participated in the Chinese Super League."

There was a burst of laughter from the reporters at the scene.

Amidst the roar of laughter, Hu Lai was a little embarrassed, he turned his head and handed the microphone to Wang Guangwei, "Old Wang, it must be the first time for you, tell me..."

Wang Guangwei blocked the microphone back, "Ask you."

The reporter who asked the question quickly added, "I also asked Wang Guangwei and you, but I asked Hu Lai first..."

Wang Guangwei didn't care, "Then I'll wait until Hu Lai finishes answering."

Hu Lai had no choice but to speak into the microphone, "Goal? Of course the goal is to relegation! We are a newly promoted polo team. Last season's newly promoted Hexi Daqin and Capital Xiangyun both fell back, so our goal this season is very clear, that is to strive for After the end of the season, I can still stay in the Super League!"

After speaking, he handed the microphone to Wang Guangwei, and Wang Guangwei replied simply, "I am the same as you, relegation."

The reporters were a little dissatisfied with the young man's cautious answer. They tried to blame "Hu Lai, you were the golden boot of the Chinese Premier League last season, and you broke the original record. Then this season, you have no point in the Chinese Super League scorer list." What do you think? Coincidentally, the single-season scoring record in the Chinese Super League was created by your head coach Shi Wuyin in the Olympic team, twenty-eight goals..."

Hu Lai quickly waved his hand, "I have no idea, no idea, I just want to help the team avoid relegation. As for the Chinese Super League Golden Boot, I haven't even thought about it!"

Seeing that Hu Lai was so naughty, everyone couldn't be fooled, so they had to resort to a unique trick.

"Then what you said after the end of last season is still valid?"

"What words?"

"Of course it means hitting Wang Xianke every time I see him in the future!"

Upon hearing what the reporters said, Hu Lai sat up straight behind the desk, "Of course it works, it will work forever!"
