I Just Can Score

Michael Owen is really very persistent. He felt a little weak all over, but he still insisted on training all afternoon. Keegan and Cafro persuaded him to rest several times. He said very directly, Don't worry, I didn't question.

The coaching staff is worried.

The teammates were also a little worried.

In the free time in the middle of the training, Owen took the time to start the horse stance training. He continued to persist, even if he felt his calf tremble, he continued to stand there.

Zhen Shaolong was moved!

Michael Owen is really a very persistent guy, and he admires him from the bottom of his heart.

If it were him...

Of course, I will persist. Zhen Shaolong decided not to think about this issue, but walked over to have a serious talk with Owen.

Michael, let me tell the truth!

Zhen Shaolong's tone was very sincere, I have never practiced Chinese Kung Fu. If you say I am good at fighting, but that is the way of 'fighting', not Chinese Kung Fu. My football has nothing to do with Kung Fu.

So you keep practicing and basically... well, I frankly, I don't think it's going to help. As far as I know, Chinese Kung Fu is not just about perseverance, it's about specific training methods and time, and a lot of it can be learned People who practice kung fu start when they were young...

Zhen Shaolong continued talking for a while.

Owen was still standing on horseback without even moving a bit. When he found that Zhen Shaolong was still talking, he said impatiently, Zhen, can you leave me alone? You have already said that you don't know Chinese Kung Fu, so how do you know? Doesn't work?

...

Zhen Shaolong's eyes widened, and he found himself speechless.

You rock!

You're more of a bull coin than me!

Zhen Shaolong gave Owen a thumbs up, then turned around and left.

He stopped talking nonsense.

Owen insisted on a way to get to the dark, he couldn't even persuade him, and... Is what Owen said right?

Maybe it will work?

Zhen Shaolong found that he was almost persuaded,

Fortunately, he has a good mental quality, so he was not affected too much.

More importantly...

Even if you practice Chinese Kungfu, you can't be better than the system!

Newcastle United's training is mainly about recovery, mixed with some preparations for the game.

The next month is going to be tough.

It's the end of November, and until Christmas in December, there are less than 30 days left. In one month, Newcastle United has seven games to play--

Four league games.

Two Champions League group games.

There is also a quarterfinal match in the League Cup.

The most important of these are the four league games. Keegan hopes that the team can play well in the league. They don't want to rush to the top of the list, but also need to stabilize the top four positions in the league.

certainly.

Keegan also hopes to be number one in the league. Allardyce can get the first place under coaching. He hopes to coach himself and lead the team to successfully defend the title. Big one, he can't put too much pressure on the players.

The two Champions League games are relatively tasteless.

Newcastle United has determined their qualifications in advance, and it is really not worth the candle to fight against a strong opponent.

Keegan hopes to play well in the next game - Basel.

Basel is the weakest team in the group, and they were almost announced to be eliminated in advance. They didn't even get a single point in the four rounds. It's a bit too pitiful, but that's how they are without strength. The difference in strength between them and the other three teams is still relatively large big.

This is also a home game.

As long as they can win Basel, Newcastle United will be able to determine the first position in the group, and the last game against Inter Milan can be completely regarded as training.

The other is the League Cup.

Keegan also hopes to play well in the League Cup. After all, the team has entered the quarter-finals. On the contrary, he has already decided to give up the FA Cup, which will start in January, because in the second half of the schedule, he will play the Champions League knockout rounds and compete for league rankings. There are too many FA Cup events, there is no need to expend energy.

In the next seven games, Newcastle United will play well in six games.

This pressure is still great.

soon.

Newcastle United ushered in the second match against Basel. They played on the second match day. After the results of the previous day came out, the media was also discussing it enthusiastically. On the contrary, the Newcastle United match was not too big. attention.

This time Keegan sent Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong's recovery is not bad. He and Martins partnered as two strikers. The midfielder and the backcourt are a relatively large rotation position. Enzobia, veteran Bart, Beyer and the newly joined Gutierrez all got a chance after adjusting their status. .

Yu Wei, who had won the big victory over Chelsea in the last game, is still there. Newcastle United played well at home and took a 2-0 lead in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Basel recovered a goal, but in the end Beye's goal sealed the result.

3 to 1.

Newcastle United defeated Basel and won the fifth round of the group stage.

After this round, Newcastle United locked in the first place in the group, and the last game was completely reduced to tasteless.

Simultaneously.

In another match in Group C, Barcelona beat Inter Milan 2-1, which is the focus of attention.

This result is quite meaningful.

Barcelona lost one more game before, three points less than Inter Milan. After defeating Inter Milan head-on, Barcelona's group situation suddenly changed.

Barcelona's opponent in the last round is Basel, and it is not difficult for them to win.

Inter Milan……

As long as Barcelona beats Basel, it doesn't make sense for Inter Milan to win Newcastle United. They will face an embarrassing group elimination and can only rank third to play in the Europa League (UEFA Cup).

This embarrasses the newly appointed Mourinho.

Inter Milan is the team that swept the Serie A league. As a result, they were eliminated in the Champions League group stage. Among the other two or three Italian teams, Juventus and Roma are the first in the group, and only Fiorentina ranked third in the group, but they qualified. The situation is much better, as long as they can beat Lyon in the final round, they will be able to seize the initiative to qualify, unlike Inter Milan, which depends on the performance of Basel to qualify.

The Champions League group stage played like this, Mourinho also felt very helpless.

what can he do

The tragedy of Inter Milan is that they lost to Newcastle United in the first round. Their brutal competition with Barcelona failed to gain an advantage, and they could only be reduced to the third team in the group.

After the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, many media found Mourinho's evaluation of the group and said sarcastically, He said that for Inter Milan, Group C is not the group of death.

Now Inter Milan is going to be eliminated.

It's interesting.

On the contrary, Newcastle United, who was not 'seen' by him, won all five rounds and easily qualified for the first place.

Mourinho should see an ophthalmologist to help him judge the situation better...

Zhen Shaolong scored a goal in this game.

Although there was only one goal, he was still the focus after the game, because his number of goals was terrifying-thirteen!

This is the Champions League game!

They scored 13 goals before the group stage was over. It can be said that the golden boots were locked in advance, and it was difficult for even competitors to appear.

The media repeatedly made reports, and once again mentioned the upcoming Golden Globe Awards, thinking that Zhen Shaolong was very likely to win the award.

Zhen Shaolong didn't care at all.

He doesn't care about any reports from the outside world, because his attention is all on the contract.

New contract negotiated!

Zhen Shaolong feels good about re-signing, because signing a new contract means a salary increase. As for the number of years that affects the transfer, he doesn't care at all, because he has not considered leaving, at least staying in Newcastle until he has no better destination. Union is a good choice.

Now with a new contract and a higher salary, it is of course happy.

Mendes is really good.

He is a vampire.

This title is not wrong at all. He spitted and said that Michael Ashley had no temper at all, and he even felt that what Mendes said was correct.

Then.

The two sides negotiated a new contract.

The new contract still has no portrait rights regulations, and the annual salary has not changed much. The above regulations are 12 million pounds, but only one word has been changed-before tax has become after tax!

That's great!

Previously, Zhen Shaolong's contract annual salary was 10 million pounds, and his scoring performance would increase by a certain percentage, but even if the annual salary was increased to 20 million pounds, he would only get a little over 10 million pounds.

This is the rich tax!

High-income people in the UK pay more than 40 points in taxes. The horrible tax burden makes some players decide to leave for Spain, because the tax rate in Spain is slightly lower, and the same salary can get more money.

Newcastle United offered an after-tax contract of 12 million pounds, which meant that they had to pay nearly 10 million pounds more for tax.

This must be the highest paid football player!

Even Ballack, who moved to Chelsea, and Henry, who moved to Barcelona, ​​they almost don't pay to join the new club, and the salary they get is only 7 million or 8 million after tax, and the unit is just worse EUR.

Zhen Shaolong took pounds!

The money that Zhen Shaolong received from the club was not only salary, but also a lot of bonuses for his goals. Last season, he got 5 million pounds for 60 goals, and almost reached 3 million pounds after tax.

This season, Newcastle United are also prepared. Zhen Shaolong scored 13 goals in the Champions League, representing 1.3 million pounds for me. League and cup competitions are also constantly scoring goals.

He is a brush.

Not only the goal brush, but also the goal bonus brush. The goal bonus obtained is higher than the annual salary of ordinary stars.

During the negotiation of the new contract, Michael Ashley also mentioned this point, hoping to reduce Zhen Shaolong's goal bonus, but Mendes responded with one sentence, You don't want Zhen Neng to score more goals?

certainly……

hope!

How can this be?

In the end, Michael Ashley had no choice but to agree. He had actually carefully calculated that the new contract would cost the club an annual fee of less than 10 million pounds.

10 million a year, only 40 million in four years.

The deadline for signing the new contract was one year later than before, and one year was considered a guarantee.

Forty million pounds sounds like a lot, but with an extra year in the contract and the liquidated damages increased to 300 million euros, as long as any club is willing to spend this money, they will immediately make a lot of money.

Even if no club is willing to pay liquidated damages, Newcastle United will not lose money. Zhen Shaolong’s performance has long surpassed his salary. His contribution to the club, his popularity, and the commercial value he has brought to the club, It's much more than the salary you get.

So the new contract is perfectly acceptable.

soon.

The Newcastle United club announced that they had signed a new contract with Zhen Shaolong, with an annual salary of 12 million pounds after tax. The announcement immediately attracted a lot of attention.

This is the most important contract in the history of professional football!
