Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 25 Self-cultivation of professional players

"Dad, don't hesitate anymore, I am willing." When Wen's father hesitated, Wen Zhihao expressed his attitude.

Liu Yongzhuo, who had just turned around and was about to leave, stopped instantly, turned his head to look at Wen Zhihao, his face was full of joy.

Papa Wen quickly stopped him: "Zhihao, this is a big deal for your career, you can't make such a hasty decision!"

Dad Wen usually knows a lot about the domestic football circle. Of course he knows that Guangzhou Evergrande has a good platform, but as a new giant in China, they are not as generous as other established clubs when it comes to players studying abroad.In addition, Guangzhou Evergrande's salary is much higher than other clubs. Father Wen doesn't want to delay his son's future, and he doesn't want his son to be corrupted by money and material and abandon his original dream early.

Father Wen has heard of such examples from generation to generation of potential Chinese stars, and he very much does not want to see his son repeat the tragedy of his predecessors in the future.

However, Wen Zhihao seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at his father and said stubbornly: "Dad, you don't need to say anything. I think very clearly. As I am now, if I recover from my injury two years later, those European clubs will still want me? During my year in Inter Milan, I saw too many kids my age in the youth training camp who were unable to meet the needs of the club because of injuries or other reasons, and were sent out of the youth training camp. Do you know how much pressure I have had this year? In fact, I knew that the result was almost the same when I was still in the hospital in Thailand. Dad, I beg you, don't think about it anymore." Already! I really don't have many chances!"

With unconcealable sadness and helplessness on his face, Papa Wen turned around and held Liu Yongzhuo's hand, and said very solemnly: "Chairman Liu, since my son said so, as a father, I will not say anything more. I hope you can keep your current promise."

Winning Wen Zhihao made Liu Yongzhuo very happy, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Wen, don't worry, everything I said just now will be officially confirmed in written form in the contract. In addition, for Zhihao's future career, we have specially added priority renewal rights for Zhihao in the contract. If Zhihao is not favored by European clubs after he turns 21, the club will provide Zhihao with a contract extension for at least 3 years to ensure Zhihao's continuous growth. I wonder if this is the case, can Mr. Wen rest assured?"

Evergrande has already offered such a condition, which really gave Wen Dad no reason to refuse. In the end, the two sides finalized the relevant matters, and Liu Yongzhuo could leave, saying that the club's professional team would come to sign a formal contract as soon as possible.

After this incident, Father Wen realized that after Wen Zhihao became an adult, he must find a professional management team for his son as soon as possible to protect his son's interests.After all, I am not a professional.

……

"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Wen Zhihao asked curiously seeing that his father was in a trance.

Father Wen glanced back at his son, and suddenly sat down in front of the bed, with a stern face, and said very seriously: "Hao Zai, you must remember what I say next! Print it in your mind and never forget it!"

Seeing his father's expression, Wen Zhihao knew that there must be something important to tell him, so he put away his hippie smile and said seriously: "Dad, tell me, I'll listen!"

Dad Wen looked at his son and said, "Although you have embarked on the road of professional football, you probably won't be short of money in the future, but Dad doesn't want you to be an illiterate who can only play football in the future, a waste who can do nothing without leaving the stadium!"

This is a bit harsh, and the young Wen Zhihao instinctively resisted subconsciously, and he opened his mouth to defend in annoyance: "Dad! Did you think about it too early? I'm only old, and I'm still far away from retirement. Besides, as long as you have money in the future, will your son's life be worse? Isn't everything done for money?"

"Little brat, what nonsense are you talking about!" Papa Wen's voice suddenly increased by an octave, startling both Wen Zhihao and Mama Wen beside him.

Seeing that his son was restrained, Wen's father slowed down his voice a little and said: "Didn't you always hate Chinese football for being weak? Do you know why it is like this? Because those who play on the field are a group of illiterates who don't know the world, the past and the present, and don't know civilized etiquette! Reckless man! Do you want to become like that in the future?"

Wen Zhihao was silent.

"Boy, go and see. Children who are about your age are all studying in school. In the future, when they enter the society, they will be inferior to you in all aspects except that they are not as good as you. If you don't strengthen your studies, your kid will walk off the court in the future and be used as cannon fodder for others. You think you are low-level! Do you still want to hold the court as a job for the rest of your life?"

Wen Zhihao felt aggrieved by his father's scolding, with tears in his eyes. Mother Wen quickly signaled her husband to stop talking, but Father Wen continued: "Look at those football superstars who have become legends, Manchester United legend Giggs, and others have a master's degree in literature. The legendary German Lehmann also graduated from the University of Münster with a major in economics. There are also Wenger and Ferguson in the coaching team, all of whom are highly educated. Do you think you shouldn't study?"

"How do you think those superstars become legends, just because they play football well? Boy, let me tell you that only by studying can you gain a broader perspective and learn to use your brain to play football smarter. If you don't want to lie here in the future, you should remember my words, learn more, and play football with your brain. This is a necessary self-cultivation for a professional player."

Father Wen's harsh words to his son were also out of worry. He was about to return to domestic football from Europe. He was worried that Wen Zhihao would be affected by the big dye tank of domestic football, so he sounded the alarm for his son in advance.

A week later, Papa Wen signed a formal written contract with Guangzhou Evergrande on behalf of Wen Zhihao. The two parties determined that the contract period would be "3+3".However, there are two special conditions. First, regardless of whether Wen Zhihao can successfully study abroad, he must first play for the first team of Evergrande for at least one full season. Second, if this condition is met, if Evergrande receives an offer from a European club for Wen Zhihao, the contract between the two parties will be automatically terminated.

As for the salary, before the age of 18, Wen Zhihao can only receive the basic guaranteed salary of echelon players. After the age of 18, Evergrande will provide Wen Zhihao with an annual salary of 300 million yuan after tax.

On the day of the signing, Evergrande released the news to the outside world, which immediately caused an uproar, and people with various opinions set off a new round of debate on the Internet.

However, Wen Zhihao is making the final preparations for his restorative treatment in Germany. Evergrande's careful arrangements made Wen Zhihao look forward to this trip to Germany.
