After talking about these things, Zhang Yuan brought the topic back to this summer's arrangements, "This summer, there will be no competitions for the national team. There will be a friendly match for the national team until August [-]th, and then there will be Go to the United States and play with the teams of the American Major League. This time the national team training camp, it has been said above that these people who play abroad do not have to go back for the time being. Moreover, you are not allowed on the club side When you return to China in the summer, you can stay in Monaco and practice your skills well."

The national team will go to the United States for a series of friendly matches at the end of August and early September. Because the schedule conflicts with the schedule of the European League, several players in Europe do not have to return home.Because the game is aimed at teams such as the Los Angeles Galaxy and the New York Metro Stars, it is not considered a national team level event, and there is no need for Zhao Yaning to participate.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan still has some things to say: he heard people say that this training camp is not the intention of the national team coach Ali Han, but the idea of ​​the above.And the reason made Zhang Yuan feel chills: the various competitions that the national team went abroad to participate in this year were all free of charge.

If it is possible to play matches between national teams for free, how can it be possible to play friendly matches against the American Major League for free?Where did the money go?Zhang Yuan was not clear about this, but he knew in his heart that the money would not be donated to the Hope Project anyway.

If he played football for the honor of the national team, although Zhang Yuan cursed, he knew in his heart that he couldn't say anything.But for the group of guys above to make money, he went all the way to the United States to play football, Zhang Yuan couldn't accept it.If you get hurt, whose fault is it?The Football Association's upper lip touched its lower lip, saying that it is only right to sacrifice for the national team. As a manager, who should he cry to? [

Besides, this summer, Monaco will not allow Zhao Yaning to go back to China-the domestic SARS epidemic was extremely violent a while ago. Although it has improved a little bit this time, it remains to be seen how the situation will be.Considering that Zhao Yaning is of Chinese nationality, Monaco notified Zhang Yuan early and told him that Zhao Yaning could not be allowed to return to China.Avoiding dangerous sports that may cause injury, medicine, plague, etc. are stipulated in the player's contract. Zhao Yaning has the responsibility not to return to China this summer.

This incident made Zhang Yuan a little depressed.Originally, he thought that Monaco would win the championship, and let Zhao Yaning take the championship trophy to parade around his hometown to cheer up his popularity, but now he can only stay in Monaco and play honestly.

"This SARS has caused a lot of trouble. Now I dare not go back to China, for fear that France will not allow entry. You have won a championship, and it is time to stir it up. This time is good, nothing is gone. " Zhang Yuan was a little aggrieved about the infectious disease, "Besides, you have to donate some money to express your gratitude."

"This money should be donated... How much should I donate?" Zhao Yaning thought for a while, "Since I want to build a football base this year, and I don't have much money left, then I'll make it easy. Donate the prize money of the champion."

After the player wins, there is a bonus.The habit of Ligue 4000 is that every time the league wins a game, the players who play can get a bonus of [-] euros.Of course, sometimes when you meet a strong team and a strong opponent, the bonus will increase.For example, Monaco stipulates that when they meet Lyon, Paris, Bordeaux, and Nice, the bonus is doubled, because the first three are strong rivals, and Nice is a derby.And met Marseille, because it is both a derby and a strong enemy, and even gave three times the bonus.

But this season, Monaco has not won any of the four Blue Bank derby games, and the derby record of three draws and one loss is terrible.The game against Bordeaux also had a draw and a loss. The bonuses for these six games were doubled, but there was no bonus.It was the games against Lyon and Paris, because there were a lot of bonuses for winning all four games.

This season, Monaco has 23 victories, and counting the slightly less rewarding cups and the last two championship prizes, the total is about 15 euros-almost a quarter of Zhao Yaning's salary.

Zhao Yaning didn't know how much to donate, but in his opinion, donating all his winning bonuses was quite memorable.

But this thought made Zhang Yuan frowned, "You donated too much."

"It's not that much..."

"Sun Jihe of the Premier League only donated 18 U.S. dollars. Hao Dapao, who donated the most in our country, only donated 150 U.S. dollars. Our hometown team only donated [-] U.S. dollars. [-] million going out, the domestic people will definitely not be happy about doing things like this.”

"Just donated so much?" Zhao Yaning was a little surprised, "I thought all football players were rich."

Zhang Yuan glanced at him, but said nothing.Except for the lucky guy like Zhao Yaning, who won a sponsorship contract of 4000 million yuan in one go by relying on his outstanding performance in the World Cup, who else has this luck?After all, China has not been professionalized for a long time, and there are not many times when it really makes money. Take Fan Zhiyi as an example. On the eve of professionalization in 94, he was still receiving a monthly salary of 2500 yuan. At that time, his coach, Coach Xu, also But relying on his years of service to get a salary of 4000 yuan, the transfer fee for the top scorer in the league at that time was only 5 yuan.It has been less than ten years of professionalization, and it is not easy for them to save some money. How can they take it out and spend it easily?

"The entire football circle only donated 800 million RMB. The most donated is from Northeast China. The boss's donation is counted in the team, but it is only more than 300 million. If you donate 150 million by yourself, you Who are you trying to slap in the face? Don’t do that.” Zhang Yuan didn’t quite agree with Zhao Yaning’s approach, “It’s enough to donate a symbolic donation of eight thousand, don’t play tricks.”

"If you say that, I want to donate more." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "Since they donated 800 million, I'll donate 200 million and make up the whole thing."

"If you really have money to burn, or are willing to do good deeds, can we donate money anonymously?" Zhang Yuannai said.

"No, it's just donating in my name, and I asked a reporter to do an exclusive interview with me on the matter of donating money." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "I just want the domestic media to report on it and let them know that I donated money." A lot of money."

"What's the picture?" Zhang Yuan asked back.

"I just want people who play football in China to know that I have money." Zhao Yaning replied, "Don't they all think that playing football in China is safe and comfortable, without risk, and they don't want to take risks abroad? I'll let them know , How much money can I make, and let them know what it’s like to be famous abroad. I just want to stimulate them and let them know what to do.”[

"Then if you mess up with people in the circle..."

"So you have to make a list for me and write down the people I need to explain. I'll just call them and apologize."

This statement surprised Zhang Yuan again.In his memory, Zhao Yaning didn't like to take the initiative to contact those people, but now it seems that he has really changed a lot.

I really don't know if it's a good thing.

"Speaking of your making money, I have one more thing to tell you." Zhang Yuan remembered something, "Your current salary seems a bit low, should you find a team to sign a new contract?" ?”

Zhao Yaning didn't think about this problem. The club's conditions were not very good, and he was not short of money, so he didn't think about the new contract.

"Isn't the salary low? Joaquin was only paid 30 last season, which is only half of mine." Zhao Yaning remembered the salary of the players he had heard, "He was only 30, and I got 60, which is not a lot." gone."

"He did it because he played for the team that trained him. Of course he sacrificed. Didn't you see that he asked the team for an annual salary of 150 million euros this season?"

This Zhao Yaning really didn’t know, but he just shrugged, “I definitely can’t get that kind of money. The club’s highest annual salary is only 120 million, and 150 million annual salary is just a dream.”

"But it's not an exaggeration to ask for a contract with a higher salary."

"Forget it." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "I didn't plan to stay in Monaco for a long time, and it would be a bit of a jerk to argue for a new contract every year. The club treats me well, and I can't do things like that. And originally I don't rely on the contract to have a living, why bother."

The contract is not for food, but to prove your team status.Do you think that Raul's salary is the first in Real Madrid, and Joaquin's salary in Real Betis is the first, because it is a dollar less than Ronaldo, Zidane, and Denilson?Not to prove his status.Without a high salary, no one will believe you if you say you have a high status.

But that's okay, if the salary is low, you won't be stuck because of this problem when you transfer in the future, and it will be more convenient to transfer at that time.

"In that case, you should consider giving Cordia a new contract." Zhang Yuan said, "In your contract with him, he can only eat a percentage of your salary. He can't get much money, But if you take so much, he will definitely not do well. Sign a new one with him, and let him take a percentage of your endorsement fees. "

This question made Zhao Yaning pat his head, "Why didn't I pay attention, Brother Zhang, thank you for reminding me. But, Brother Zhang, do you really want to be my agent?"

"If you say quit, you can't go back on your word. And... I can't eat you for the rest of my life, I always have to do something else."

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Yaning asked back.

"You don't care about these things." Zhang Yuan smiled, "Some things are better if you know less."
