Chapter 318: Charlotte's future is confusing

Secondly, it is also because Benitez’s salary is really not high, at least compared to head coaches like Mourinho and Guardiola, the salary is relatively low. Years go by, the current annual salary of the old coach who has laid a solid foundation for the Gunners is only 600 million pounds.

I heard that Arsenal is about to renew their contract with Wenger. As for the annual salary of the new contract, that is another matter.

Therefore, Leo Rhodes' £500 million is definitely a lion's mouth in Curtis's eyes. This price does not include the generous winning bonus and transfer share, which is already unacceptable for a club like Southampton. .

The two persisted, and the negotiation was suspended for more than two months.Curtis wanted to endure the opponent, but he didn't expect Leo Rhodes to be more calm than him. In the past two months, he didn't even take the initiative to find Curtis, and even the player's contract renewal negotiations were suspended. , Instead, continue to go abroad to find those young talented players to sign agency contracts.

Leo Rhodes had great confidence in Charlotte, he had never seen Charlotte's charisma in anyone.He is always full of confidence, as if everything is under his control.

So when he saw the league standings, as one of Charlotte's best friends, even though Charlotte was still "saving character" from the media, he already knew that the other party was going for the championship.With the mentality of winning the league championship and negotiating a contract, he will have more bargaining chips, so he put aside the negotiation with Curtis.

Now when Curtis wants to restart the negotiation, Leo Rhodes has also given full play to the vampire-like character of every agent, and directly shouted at the Swiss that 600 million pounds is less than a word. bold words.

Now Curtis is even more passive. If he can't keep this meritorious coach at such a juncture, it's only two seasons, but it's enough to be a coach like "the greatest coach in Southampton history" Because the contract renewal negotiations did not reach a conclusion, if he joins another Premier League team, he must be criticized by thousands of people.

Take a look at Benfica not far away. Just because they did not give Goodman a salary increase and left the legendary coach, they became the laughing stock of Portugal and even Europe.However, what Goodman said with hatred when he left has turned into a curse so far. This has led to Benfica reaching the European finals or semi-finals several times so far, and the final result is nothing.

Curtis didn't want to be that laughing stock, and he didn't want fans to coax him off stage.

Originally, I wanted to wait until after the season to talk about it, but I didn't expect that Charlotte would blow up the contract extension herself.Curtis wanted to scold her in his heart, wouldn't you just push me into the fire pit by doing this?
Even during the last negotiation, Curtis yelled directly angrily: "Aren't you a loyal Saints fan? Are there fans like you who push the meritorious coach to other teams?"

On the other hand, Leo Rhodes was relatively calm, and he replied directly: "Emotions belong to feelings, and business belongs to business. I am now managing the contracts of so many players. If they all harm their interests because of the relationship with the club , which has no professional ethics."

Curtis is directly sarcastic: "I haven't heard of an ethical agent yet."

In this way, the two sides once again fell into a stalemate.

But this is not a problem for Charlotte, he knows that the two parties will definitely renew the contract.Certainly Curtis and Leo are not stupid, they know what kind of result is a win-win situation.The only balance point lies in the amount of the salary and the additional terms. There will always be an agreement, and it is only a matter of time.

Benfica came to the away game to create a miracle, but they did not expect that they had just arrived at Southampton and witnessed the miracle created by the other side. As a newly promoted team, they won the Premier League championship three rounds ahead of schedule.

The gold content of this league championship is not much lower than that of the Champions League. The title of the world's number one league is not blown out. The league's influence, bonus share and competitiveness in the arena. The Premier League is the world's number one league without a doubt. So they knew very well what kind of miracle the other party had created.

Because he was two goals behind the opponent, Jesus, who came to the away game, wanted to take the initiative to attack, otherwise he would be killed by the opponent sooner or later.But in the last round of the league, Charlotte played a lot of young players, so this game against Benfica can be said to be the main force.

If the last game at the Stadium of Light was due to the pressure of the championship competition with Manchester United, then now Southampton can be said to have let go of all the pressure to fight Benfica. They don't have to worry about the situation in the league. At the same time, it is a home game.

Affected by the early victory two days ago, St. Mary's Stadium was overcrowded again for this game, and even many fans who did not buy tickets chose to watch the game on the big screen in the square outside the stadium and in the nearby bar.

What is different from the past is that there are many new faces coming to the stadium to watch this game, most of them are Asian fans
In the end, under the witness of [-] fans in the audience, Southampton completely killed the game [-]-[-] and advanced to the Europa League final with a score of [-]-[-] in two rounds.

Southampton's center Icardi scored twice in this game, tying Tiger Falcao's single-season scoring record in the Europa League with [-] goals.The excited Argentine wanted to take off his jersey to celebrate in a single game, but Lallana held the opponent down and told him that he already had two yellow cards on him, and if he gets another one now, he will be in the next European game Suspended in the middle, and the next game is the final!
Icardi, who was still enthusiastic just now, was shocked immediately. If he missed the Europa League final due to accumulative yellow card suspension, then he would not be able to forgive himself, and the last yellow card was obtained in this way. This fucker is cheating himself.

Icardi put down his jersey decisively. Damn it, whoever made the rule of undressing to celebrate will be shown a yellow card.
And after the Argentine striker scored the third goal of the game, Benfica also knew that they had no chance, so they focused on defense to avoid expanding the score.

In order to avoid injury to important players, Charlotte immediately replaced Icardi with Harry Kane, and then replaced Lallana and Schneiderlin with De Bruyne and Florenzi respectively.

Icardi was still a little unhappy when he left the field. After all, he really wanted to score another goal and directly break Falcao's record. In this way, he is the shooter with the most goals in a single season in the Europa League.

But Charlotte only said a word, and the Argentine was very happy immediately.

"Put your energy into the final and if you don't score in the final then be ready to be substituted."

After the game, St. Mary's Stadium became a sea of ​​joy.

"We're going to Amsterdam!!!" George, the live host, shouted excitedly with a microphone.

Southampton broke into the Europa League final this season, which is a big deal.Because in the Saints' more than 100-year history, they have never reached the final of the European War.

This week, Southampton people feel that they are the happiest people in the world. They have won the league championship and entered the final of the Europa League. Christmas is not so happy for them.

Charlotte's name resounded in England again, and you can say that this success was accidental and lucky.But this season, Charlotte has remained unbeaten in the league so far. While winning the league championship, it also broke into the Europa League final. Such a result cannot be described as a coincidence or good luck.

The major media once again gave an overview of Charlotte's background. This young and outrageous coach has become the hottest young coach in the Premier League.

And Charlotte has been unable to reach a contract extension agreement with Southampton for a long time, which is even more different in the eyes of the media and fans.

Many people think that Charlotte has brought Southampton, a newly promoted team, to an unparalleled historical height, which is already the pinnacle of the Saints.Then Charlotte will definitely choose to retreat bravely. At this time, it is a wise choice to leave Southampton and go to a stronger team.

Otherwise, the fame accumulated with great difficulty will easily encounter Waterloo in Southampton.

Although Charlotte has stated that she will stay in Southampton, the fans will be worried for a day if the contract is not signed.The day after the second leg against Benfica, fans gathered under the club's office building asking why the club's management hadn't renewed the contract of their great manager.

Curtis is blocked by fans at the gate, what can he say?
"Please rest assured that we have negotiated with Charlotte's agent several times and are about to reach an agreement. Charlotte will still be the head coach of Southampton next season. Rest assured, it is only a matter of time." said He hurriedly got into the car and left the office building.

Who is the most popular head coach in the Premier League right now?One is Ferguson, who is about to retire, and the other is the supernova Charlotte.So the media will naturally not let go of every opportunity to hype Charlotte. After all, what fans want is the sales of their newspapers and the number of views of online articles.

Today, the media photographed Charlotte's agent entering and leaving Anfield, and tomorrow the media saw Charlotte's agent sharing lunch with Tottenham general manager Levi in ​​a coffee shop in London.

What's more, the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino, personally told the media: "Charlotte? He is a very good coach. Real Madrid naturally hopes that all good players and coaches can play for Real Madrid. .”

What does this mean? ?The media immediately interpreted that this was a signal from Florentino that he wanted to invite Charlotte to take charge of the Galacticos.
