Chapter 184 Zhang Yang's Transfer Strategy

Zhang Yang will definitely sign with Millwall, and Millwall will definitely sign Zhang Yang.

The two sides are unanimous in this respect.

The disputes in the new contract are only on the key points: contract period, annual salary, bonus and so on.

The length of the contract is the number one point of contention.

Zhang Yang signed the guarantee contract for the head coach, without any additional clauses such as the performance of leading the team. It focuses on guaranteeing the salary received by the individual. A unilateral guarantee contract is very beneficial to the head coach, because according to the provisions of the contract, being dismissed midway is also very important. Can get the rest of the salary.

For the Millwall club, the risk of guaranteeing the contract is very high. For example, if the performance of leading the team is not good next season, they need to contact the contract with Zhang Yang and hire a new head coach, so they need to take out the remaining salary in one go , that must be a lot of money.

The results of Zhang Yang leading the team cannot be guaranteed.

From the eyes of others, Gregory, the chairman of the Millwall Club, and Ebenezer, the general manager, also think so. The main reason is that Zhang Yang is too young. He is only in his early twenties, and he led the team to win Good results do not mean that they can be stable in the Premier League.

In their view, the risk of 'dismissal' is great.

So the Millwall club does not want to sign a long-term contract.

The second point of controversy is the annual salary.

Zhang Yang's original salary was 24 pounds a week, and the combined annual salary is nearly [-] pounds. In fact, it is not low, but it will certainly not be able to catch up with the level of the "British Super League". To sign a new contract, the salary needs to be increased.

Bonuses are also important.

Zhang Yang attaches great importance to bonuses, such as leading the team to win the top six, how much bonus will there be, leading the team to win the top four, how much bonus can they get, leading the team to win the championship... In short, various bonus terms are indispensable.

The Millwall Club never expected that Zhang Yang would make such a contract request.

Is this the legendary 'overconfidence'?

That's the Premier League!
Looking left and right, Millwall is just a team with the goal of relegation. It is similar to the bonus clause for good results.

In the end, the two parties negotiated a satisfactory contract.

The duration of the new contract is only two years, the stipulated annual salary is 65 pounds, and 85 pounds can be received in the second year, a total of 150 million pounds.

There are many bonus terms.

For example, in response to Zhang Yang's strong request, the "Premier League Championship Bonus" clause was added. If this clause can be activated, Zhang Yang can get a bonus of 100 million pounds, which is higher than a year's salary, and there is also the "Premier League Final Four" clause , If you are qualified to participate in the Champions League, you can get a bonus of 60 pounds, which is equivalent to a year's salary.

Ebenezer agreed to these items without even thinking about them.

If Millwall can enter the top four in the league, or qualify for the Champions League next year, it will bring millions of pounds to tens of millions of pounds in revenue to the club, and it would be nothing to give some of it to Zhang Yang as a bonus.

As for... the champion?
That's definitely not a £100 million question!
The FA awarded more than 1000 million pounds in prize money to the Premier League champions. Coupled with the increased income from TV broadcasting brought by the high ranking, what is 100 million pounds worth?

----

Zhang Yang is satisfied with the new contract.

The length of the contract is not a problem at all, two years is enough, he does not rely on the number of years to live, what will happen in two years, no one can tell, if he can lead the team to achieve good results, it only takes one year, the contract will be completed It should be changed.

Zhang Yang is satisfied with the various additional bonus terms. The Premier League is indeed a big stage. In the English Championship, Millwall's strength is in the middle, but in the Premier League, even if he invests 2000 million pounds in the summer, Millwall is still the best The worst team.

Maybe... none of them.

It is also impossible for Millwall to have a transfer fee of 2000 million pounds, and he can only rely mostly on the original team to play in the Premier League.

This difficulty is too high!

Zhang Yang knew that the difficulty was high, and so did the club, so they didn't care about the bonus terms, but Zhang Yang was more convinced that he could lead the team to achieve good results. He didn't dare to say about the championship, and there was still hope for a top few in the league.

If you try hard to win, the champion... maybe you can also think about it!

In short, with absolute confidence, the bonus terms must be fought for. After negotiating the contract, Zhang Yang came to the club the next morning and signed a formal contract in the chairman's office.

This was followed by a signing ceremony held by the club.

It was just an external situation, which means that 'Millwall and Zhang Yang have signed a contract', and it was officially announced to the outside world.

The signing ceremony is almost like a press conference.

Around [-] o'clock in the morning, many reporters came to the venue, and some fan representatives were allowed to enter to watch.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Yang walked into the venue, went to the rostrum, took the document handed over by Ebenezer, looked at it symbolically, and then signed his name on it.

Everyone in the arena applauded together.

Next came the press conference for the outside world. Gregory, as the chairman, stood up and talked about Zhang Yang's optimism, and then it was time for Zhang Yang. I am very honored to sign the contract, but I am not surprised. In January, I told the former coach Wise that I would lead Millwall to upgrade!"

"That's what I said at the time. Maybe you can understand it as confidence, but I know I can do it."

"Millwall completed the upgrade and won the championship. It's a good start. I signed the contract with the club. Then there are probably some players who need to renew their contracts. These are the clubs to start work. When everything is over , is about to usher in a new season.”

"In the Premier League, Millwall is nothing, everyone will think we are a relegation team, and now, everything has just begun. But I am sure of one thing..."

"Millwall in the new season will surprise everyone!"

----

"Millwall going to surprise everyone this season?"

Ebenezer and Zhang Yang returned from the venue together, chanting this sentence all the way, "This is really exciting, but Zhang, can we do it?"

"Have confidence."

"But like you said, it's just the beginning."

"Yeah, it's about to start." Zhang Yang also sighed, he knew what Ebenezer meant: the transfer work is about to start.

Other Premier League clubs have already started transfer work, but Millwall is different. They are newly promoted. They were not sure about upgrading to the Premier League before, and they are celebrating the championship after they are sure. They have no time to prepare.

Now the preparations must begin.

"What do you think?" Ebenezer asked.The transfer of Millwall in the summer was jointly in charge of Zhang Yang and Ebenezer. Neither Grigory nor Ebenezer objected to giving Zhang Yang the power to transfer, but he did not have any transfer experience. Ebenezer Nizer had to assist with most of the work.

Zhang Yang has no opinion.

Anyway, it's enough for him to get the players he needs.

As for ideas?

Zhang Yang had thought about the transfer issue before, and he had already thought it through, "I need specific information!"

"Specific information?"

"The five major European leagues, the youth army of all teams, the first team player information, and the player information of each team listed for sale, etc., is this easy to get? It would be better to be more comprehensive, covering the South American league It doesn't matter, I just need the player's name and a brief introduction."

"..."

Ebenezer was a little confused.

What Zhang Yang said was superficial. This was his first transfer strategy. Because of the memory of his previous life, he still has a certain understanding of some famous players in the future, but it is difficult to think about it. But if there is a The names and simple information of two players, just look at it to know which is better.

A player who can become famous and strong in the future is definitely not bad!
This is the first step.

The second step is to replenish the lineup, see which positions in the team need to be supplemented, and then consider signing those low-priced players and free transfer players.

These two steps can also be carried out at the same time. Under the two-pronged strategy, a slightly stronger team can always be 'cobbled together'.

It was actually a helpless move for Zhang Yang to do so.

Millwall's lineup is really bad. The team's striker lineup is the best, but even the main striker Neil Harris is definitely a substitute in the Premier League.

Braniff may be good, but it's hard to say what will happen in the Premier League.

Kevin Gere?

At most it is a tactical high center.

Not to mention other fronts, except for a few main players, other players simply do not have the ability to appear in the Premier League.

Most of these people can leave.

Zhang Yang is actually unwilling to do these things. After all, they have been together for half a year. It always feels a little unreasonable to let them leave all of a sudden, but professional football is like this. If you don't have the strength to stay in the team, you have no other choice but to get an extra salary. It makes sense, if you keep them in the team, you won't get a chance to play at all.

The reality is so cruel.
