I Just Can Score

This season is an important period for Liverpool. Their search for investors has come to an end. American businessmen Tom Hicks and George Gillett bid 230 million pounds to become the new owners of the Liverpool club.

After Liverpool was officially acquired, the power was naturally in the hands of the new boss.

George Gillett becomes acting chairman.

Liverpool fans all hope that the new investors can bring good changes to the team. What they value most is the Premier League championship. Liverpool has not been able to compete for the league championship all year round, which makes every Liverpool fan feel heartbroken. They all look forward to the team's success. Build up your strength and enter the league title race.

George Gillett knows what Liverpool fans expect. If he wants to stabilize the hearts of the people after he successfully settles in, the first thing to do is to give the fans enough confidence.

Signing in the first summer is very important.

In terms of Liverpool's lineup, everyone is discussing the lack of a striker. Being able to introduce a top striker to help Liverpool improve the striker will not only get the support of the fans, but also improve the team's strength and achieve better results. , can naturally create higher benefits.

Liverpool's chief scout David Moss provided two possible candidates, one is Zhen Shaolong who played for St. Pauli, and the other was Torres who played for Atletico Madrid.

David Moss expressed his preference for the former, This Chinese striker is very good. He can always score very difficult goals. His goals are like performances. Even without the support of the backcourt, he can still Finish the goal on your own.

In addition, his shooting skills, I dare say it is the best in the world!

George Gillett doesn't care about David Moss' strength analysis. In the thinking of a businessman, aside from commercial factors, players with similar worth are naturally of similar strength. Does strength analysis still have meaning?

Then there are commercial factors that need to be considered.

What George Gillette considered was that Torres is a Spanish player, and Spanish players are more marketable and popular in Europe. Zhen Shaolong is a Chinese player, and the commercial value of players in East Asia is slightly worse.

Of course.

Zhen Shaolong has the potential of the Chinese market, but the Chinese market is relatively far away.

Almost all the money made by the Liverpool club in China is negligible. If you want to develop the Chinese market, it will not be possible in the short term.

In the end, George Gillett chose Torres, but at the same time he still had expectations for Zhen Shaolong, for example, Zhen Shaolong's liquidated damages were only 6 million euros.

Since the liquidated damages are only 6 million euros, we can get him for very little money!

When he received a call from Alice, George Gillett became extremely enthusiastic. He promised Alice a lot, We will provide the highest salary contract and give him the best treatment. In addition, we can pay the most Top level, 2 million signing fee, of course, the unit is pounds. He will become our core, the most critical player, and he will be successful in Liverpool.

When Alice was listening very well, George Gillett added the last sentence, But I hope to pay liquidated damages and bring him to Liverpool...

————

That's it.

Alice explained the content of the phone call, and then said to Zhen Shaolong, I wanted to go to Liverpool and talk to that American in person, but I found out later that

They have no sincerity, because they are still operating the transfer of Torres.

Zhen Shaolong nodded and asked, The golden boy of Atlético de Madrid?

right.

Alice said, I contacted Mendes, the famous football agent. It should be said that Mendes contacted me, and he told me the news.

Mendez? Zhen Shaolong knew Mendes, professional players all over Europe probably knew the name, Mendes is the most influential football agent in Europe, Why did Mendes contact you?

He wanted me to join Gasti Ford International, his agency, and he talked about being interested in helping with your transfer, Alice explained.

It's not free, is it?

Of course. Alice said, If I join his company, they will help with transfers, contract negotiations, etc., provided that I take a percentage of my income.

The broker takes the broker... Zhen Shaolong heard this kind of thing for the first time.

This is very common. Big brokerage companies sign some small brokers. I'm a single-handed little broker. Alice shrugged, I'm considering whether to agree. If I join a brokerage company, they will Responsible for managing transfers and negotiating contracts, I only need to be responsible for business sponsorship and work related to your life, and may also involve asset investment in the future...

Alice complicatedly explained how a broker works.

Zhen Shaolong's head got a little dizzy when he heard that, he always felt that Alice was very relaxed, only to realize that the manager had to do so many things, Okay, okay! It's here.

Zhen Shaolong drove into the apartment and went upstairs with Alice. When he entered the room, he saw Claudio preparing lunch. He greeted him, sat on the sofa, and continued talking with Alice, their smoking How much is it?

Alice also sat down and said, Two percent of your salary, and 50,000 euros will be charged for each official signing. Don't worry, it will be deducted from my agent's commission and has nothing to do with you.

Zhen Shaolong frowned, Then your income will be much less?

Alice smiled, It's acceptable, because my job will be much easier, and they only take a salary, which has nothing to do with commercial sponsorship, bonuses and other income.

In general, it is indeed acceptable.

The agent's income is linked to the player's income, but in fact, there are differences, because there is a 'taxation' issue involved, and the agent and the player are not taxed together.

Calculated according to the tax rate in Germany, a player with an annual pre-tax salary of 1 million euros has an annual after-tax income of about 580,000 euros. The agent takes ten points, and the income is 100,000 euros, and only needs to pay 2%. The tax is about fifteen, and the after-tax income is about seventy-five thousand euros.

If the agent earns less, he will pay less tax, and the income will account for a higher proportion of the player's after-tax salary.

Therefore, it is completely acceptable for a small agent with low income to be paid two points of the player's salary. However, Alice's situation is also a bit special. The agent contract she signed with Zhen Shaolong is only pitifully five percent.

For general football agents, the commission is about 10%, and some can reach 20%.

five percent...

How pitiful!

Zhen Shaolong didn't carefully calculate Alice's income, but he was a little aware of the problem. He was a little hesitant about 'providing Alice's percentage', and promised with a light 'cough', Okay, if you can get the highest For the signing fee, I will give you a part of the bonus.

Alice immediately smiled.

Zhen Shaolong changed the subject and said, By the way, you said just now that you are responsible for taking care of my life, right? I think I need to take care of me tonight...

Alice blushed immediately.

Zhen Shaolong glanced in the direction of the kitchen, immediately put his arms around Alice, and hit the upper and lower parts with both hands, a sneaky operation officially announced the beginning.

The silent assault lasted nearly three minutes.

When Claudio came out with the dinner plate, he saw the two sitting on both sides of the sofa, as if they were having a conflict, and said nothing with a sullen face.

What's wrong with you? Claudio asked.

Alice stood up to accept the plate in Claudio's hand, and then said indifferently, It's nothing. I'm just too tired today. She turned to look at Zhen Shaolong, By the way, Zhen, I want to have lunch with you Talk about transfers, just come to my room, I have a lot of information on my computer.

OK.

Zhen Shaolong gestured quickly.

————

two days later.

The thirty-second round of the Bundesliga started, and St. Pauli challenged Frankfurt away.

The UEFA Cup has reached the final, and Bergmann has become more cautious about the Bundesliga. He hopes that there will be no accidents. Any main player injured will have a great impact on the team. Zhen Shaolong is the most protected one. In every game, Zhen Shaolong will be strictly restricted by the opponent, and the chance of injury is still very high.

Bergman's principle for Zhen Shaolong's playing is, Before the UEFA Cup final, try not to play if you can. Everything is about safety.

St. Pauli ranks third in the league, 4 points more than the third Werder Bremen, and 7 points more than the fifth Bayern Munich. As long as there are no major accidents, it is still sure to stay in the top four. Three is basically fine.

Bergman has completely turned into a utilitarian thinking when dealing with the rest of the game. Everything is based on grabbing points, and one point is one point.

Therefore, in the away game against Frankfurt, St. Pauli put on a defensive posture at the beginning. Except for Luz who was in the front, everyone else retreated to participate in the defense, which also made Frankfurt, who is at home, feel very helpless.

Frankfurt want to win, they are much more eager than St. Pauli.

St. Pauli is fighting for the top few rankings, and Frankfurt is fighting for relegation. Their league ranking is fifteenth, only three points more than the sixteenth Mainz. The possibility of being caught up in the next three games is very high Big.

Fighting for relegation is a life-and-death battle. The players in Frankfurt fought fiercely, but they still had few ways to deal with St. Pauli's shameless crowd tactics.

The game was stalemate until the 71st minute. Seeing that it was still 20 minutes away, Bergman was also tempted to hope to win. He glanced at the bench and finally gritted his teeth and decided to replace Zhen Shaolong.

Let's look at the sidelines. St. Pauli raised the substitution card! No. 13! Zhen Shaolong is ready to come out!

Frankfurt beware!

Frankfurt no longer cares whether they are careful or not. They just want to score a goal and beat St. Pauli to get three points. The offense is still very fierce.

St. Pauli can only find time to launch a counterattack.

In the 76th minute, just five minutes after Zhen Shaolong played, St. Pauli played a fast break.

Surentik passed Bol straight from the middle, and Bol quickly dribbled the ball across the center line, and then found Luz in front of him with one kick.

Frankfurt's central defender was defending Zhen Shaolong, and when Luz got the ball, he ran away. He rushed directly into the penalty area with the ball.

foul!

Beep...

The referee blew the timeout whistle, showed the fouling Frankfurt player a yellow card, and then pointed to the penalty spot in the penalty area.

St. Pauli won a penalty!

If it was just an ordinary penalty kick in normal times, but when St. Pauli got a penalty kick, almost everyone thought of a question--

Zhen Shaolong's league goals have reached forty!

Are you going to break the record? Deutsche Telekom sports commentator said in a complicated tone, Let Zhen Shaolong take the penalty, it may become a key goal to break the record, and it will also become very meaningful...

Gerd Muller's league goal record may soon be broken before our eyes...

The voice of the commentator did not want Zhen Shaolong to make free throws, and many German media reporters hoped that St. Pauli would send other people to make free throws.

certainly……

impossible!

Luz got up from the grass, rushed over and hugged Zhen Shaolong, laughed loudly, Thank me! I'll give you the chance to break the record!

The outside world couldn't hear what Lutz said, but his movements and expressions, coupled with Zhen Shaolong's approach to the penalty spot, could almost guess what he said. Suddenly, many people labeled Lutz as the traitor of German football.

This 'traitor' is laughing happily!

immediately.

Zhen Shaolong became the protagonist.

All the cameras pointed to the past, everyone stared blankly, and everyone hoped to witness the great moment of breaking the record with their own eyes.

Zhen Shaolong placed the ball firmly on the penalty spot, and then gestured OK to his teammates behind him. His indifferent expression and attitude also let people know that he was not under much pressure.

The referee signaled that a free throw could be made.

Zhen Shaolong glanced at the goal again, took a step back, stepped forward and swung his right foot high.

Boom!

The football flew to the left of the goal.

Shua!

The figure of the Frankfurt goalkeeper jumping to the right became the background of the football flying into the goal. It was recorded by cameras, cameras and other imaging equipment, and became the front page picture of the media reports that day.
