Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 451 When the hype is in progress

That night, Millwall held a carnival at the hotel where he settled in. The players had a rare time to indulge. Zhang Yang also lifted the 'drinking ban', allowing each player to drink a few bottles of beer, just reminding not to drink too much, " Whoever can't get up tomorrow morning, just fly back to London by himself!"

Everyone is relaxed this evening.

Defeating Chelsea to win the League Cup is worth celebrating. What makes the players more relaxed is that there will be an eight-day break in the schedule. It is not an international match day, but a real break in the schedule. There will be no games from late February to early March.

Under the pressure of a long and high-intensity schedule, just a one-week break made every player feel very relaxed. It is a rare opportunity to get together and celebrate the title of the champion. Even with Zhang Yang’s special reminder, Some players still drank a lot. Fortunately, Wise, Aldous and others were watching, but no player was drunk, otherwise the physical damage would be too great.

Back in London the next day, the club gave each player a special bonus.

This is what Wilkinson promises to deliver.

The English League Cup is an unplanned championship. The club has a championship bonus of 100 million, which is equivalent to creating additional income. Wilkinson is also a lot more generous. The method of motivating players with money is still very effective. He allocated bonuses Half of the total, that is, 50 pounds, was distributed to everyone in the first team, including players, coaches, and team doctors.

Compared with the high-paid players of the first team, the bonus of less than [-] pounds is not much, which is equivalent to more than one day's salary of the top-paid players, but for ordinary players, such as marginal substitutes and players promoted by the youth team , is also a very rich income.

The extra money is always fun and the whole team is happy.

After the bonus was distributed, Wilkinson immediately announced, "Our results are quite good, but we need to continue. I believe everyone can do their best. Therefore, the club decided to spend 300 million pounds as a reward for winning the league championship this season. reward!"

"As long as you can win the league championship, there will be a reward of 300 million pounds, and this bonus will be distributed equally to everyone. In addition, there is a bonus of 200 million pounds, which will also be the league championship bonus, and will be distributed according to the performance of the season!"

"A total of 500 million pounds in prize money, I hope to inspire everyone, and then play steadily, and strive to win the league championship again!"

Wilkinson's speech was supported by applause from the players.

No one will have trouble with the bonus, and Wilkinson's distribution plan also makes the players very satisfied.

500 million pounds is definitely a huge bonus. It can be said that it is the "big prize" given by the club's "hemorrhage". Part of the distribution plan is an even distribution, which will ensure that everyone gets at least [-] pounds, even for players who do not perform well this season. As long as you are a first-team player, you can get a bonus.

The other part is distributed according to performance. According to the statistics of the season, if you play more games and perform better, you can get more bonuses. There will be more.

This satisfies the psychological needs of the main players.

In fact, for the main players, a bonus of 500 million pounds seems to be a lot. If it is distributed to them, they can get up to 30 to [-] pounds, which is three or four weeks' salary, which sounds like a lot. , but in fact, the attractiveness of the bonus amount alone is not too much.

For example, Darren Bent.

Darren Bent's basic salary is enough to earn more than 20 pounds in three weeks. At the same time, there are goal bonus clauses and assist bonus clauses in the contract. In terms of his reputation, the one who will earn the most in the future is no longer in the club. Instead, it has developed into a commercial endorsement.

The other players are worse, but they are not too far behind. The temptation of the bonus is not small, but if it is the same amount as the "player who hardly plays", it must be a bit unacceptable in my heart.

So not only did the bonus fail to motivate, but it may have a negative effect.

The distribution plan Wilkinson came up with is still very thoughtful. At least every player will be satisfied, and he will also look forward to the amount of bonuses allocated to the champion.

Wilkinson used bonuses as incentives, which is also a way to buy people's hearts. After all, he has only been in the club for a year, and many players are not familiar with him, let alone support. He also wants to take advantage of this opportunity. Win over the hearts of the first-team players.

After Wilkinson finished speaking, the players applauded to express their support, and someone immediately asked, "You said there is a league championship bonus, but what about the Champions League?"

"If we win the Champions League, will there be a bonus?"

Everyone looked at the past, and the person who asked the question was Vardy. Many people heard the league trophy and the first reaction was to get more money. Vardy’s brain circuit was relatively advanced, and he suddenly realized that it was not just the league that could win the trophy. , the Champions League is even more important than the league.

Wilkinson was taken aback by the question.

Before coming here, he never thought about the Champions League trophy. It's not that he thought Millwall had no chance at all, but he didn't think about it at all. When discussing with other club personnel, everyone ignored the Champions League .

But what if the Champions League also won the trophy?
Wilkinson's heart was filled with enthusiasm. It was the UEFA Champions League, the most influential club competition in the world. It was unimaginable to win the trophy. By then, Millwall's reputation would definitely be pushed to a peak.

But is there really a chance?
Wilkinson looked at Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang smiled and said he would not comment on it. Wilkinson was a little bit on the fence, and finally gritted his teeth, "500 million! The Champions League bonus is also 500 million!"

Wilkinson left with some regrets. The process of announcing the bonus was a bit different from what he imagined, but what is certain is that Wilkinson also hopes that the team can win the Champions League.

That's the Champions League!

Not to mention the influence and honor of the Champions League, but from the perspective of direct benefits, the champion of the Champions League has 800 million euros in bonuses alone, not counting appearance fees and victory bonuses for previous Champions League matches. Together, a Champions League championship will bring the club at least more than 3000 million euros.

This is still the most basic.

However, Wilkinson is a businessman, and he was not prepared for the bonus of the Champions League. Compared with the income of 500 million pounds, it is not much, but if it does not cost 500 million pounds, wouldn't it save 500 million pounds?
As for how much the bonus will have a strong effect on the team... Wilkinson feels that if Zhang Yang can lead the team to win the Champions League trophy, he can get it regardless of whether there is a bonus, otherwise no matter how high the bonus is, he will not be able to win the Champions League.

After the English League Cup is over, the next game will have to wait until March.

The first two games in March were a replica of the end of February. The first game was the league game against Chelsea.Millwall has just finished playing the League Cup with Chelsea, and they will play the league with Chelsea again. The game is also the focus of the current round. The media and fans think the schedule is very interesting.

Of course, both sides definitely don't think so.

Neither Chelsea nor Millwall want to meet each other in the Champions League, because the game will definitely be difficult to play, and if too much energy is invested, it may affect the Champions League.

The second game is the second round of the Champions League against Real Madrid.

In terms of the importance of the game, the Champions League is definitely more important. The work of Millwall's coaching staff is also to prepare for the Champions League with Real Madrid and the league with Chelsea. Millwall still has a point advantage in the league and can beat Chelsea is the best, otherwise a tie or loss is actually acceptable without affecting the Champions League.

In addition, it is very important that Chelsea do not have time to prepare for the game, because they also have to prepare for the Champions League.

Chelsea's Champions League situation is much worse than Millwall's. They lost to Porto by one goal in the first round. When they switch to home games, they must beat their opponents within 10 minutes. Porto can only advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with an away goal.

During Millwall's preparations for the game, the outside media also continued to report that Millwall won the League Cup. A cup champion is nothing. After making some reports, the media's perspective turned to the Millwall team. A player was hyped and analyzed. Fans who didn't know Millwall before, after reading these reports, almost knew who Millwall had.

At the same time, some media continued to "fry cold rice" and reported the hot news before the game "Stories Zhang Yang and Manchester United and Chelsea have to tell". Ahem... To put it simply, it is hype that Zhang Yang may be the head coach of Manchester United and Chelsea.

No matter how hyped this news is, it will not expire, especially the closer to the end of the season, the more attention it will receive.

British media analysis believes that Zhang Yang may leave Millwall, because Millwall is only a small club, which is too attractive compared to big clubs.

Zhang Yang's coaching ability has been recognized. The career trajectory of a general head coach is from coaching small clubs to big clubs. Only big clubs will give space to outstanding coaches.

These reports are a bit of a headache.

Many Millwall fans were affected, and they left messages on Zhang Yang's Weibo, hoping that he could continue to stay at Millwall.

Ruan Hailong, Zhang Yang's assistant, clarified the rumors on Weibo and kept replying to fans. At the same time, he also took the initiative to post on Weibo, saying, "There are many rumors outside. Manchester United? Chelsea? No, I have never considered going to other teams. It's ridiculous, I love Millwall, I know everything here, I never thought about leaving."

This Weibo message was reposted by many media, and it also reassured Millwall fans.

But in fact, the effect of personal clarification is not great. How should the media report, or how to report, because any head coach will not take the initiative to say that he will leave before he quits. The same is true for players. Often after a season is over, there will be news that A certain big-name player is about to transfer and leave.

When the season is not over, players will take the initiative to stand up and express their loyalty to the club.

and then?
The summer transfer window is open, whether it is time to talk about it or not, and it is time to leave or leave.

This is the reality.

Then the situation seemed to become very complicated, because the domestic media also started to hype, what they were hyping was not that Zhang Yang would coach Manchester United, Chelsea, or any other team, but that Zhang Yang would coach the Chinese national team! ?
