Chapter 112 Sudden Bonus

Wan Sheng is hoping to renew his contract with Derby County.

Everyone has the mentality of "stable life", ordinary people are like this, and Wansheng is also like this.

Wan Sheng is used to living in Derby County. Everything here is very good. There are strong teams, players who trust him, colleagues who are familiar and have good relationships, and a group of fans who absolutely support him because of this. For many reasons, Wansheng naturally did not want to leave.

But this does not mean that he will unconditionally agree to the conditions offered by the Derby County club.

In Wansheng's view, a lower salary can still be negotiated. After all, he is not someone who lives entirely on the team's salary. The money earned by his investment company is much higher than his salary. Being a football coach is not just for money. More for hobbies, for the pursuit of their own two lives in life.

It's a job he loves.

Not everyone can do the job they like. There is a saying, "What you like is not necessarily suitable, and what is suitable may not be liked." This makes sense in both love and work.

It is very rare for a person to do a job they like It would be nice to have a couple like this.

this is the truth.

Therefore, Wansheng cherishes his work very much, and he must do his best, and will not give in to the environment. What's more, he has a football training master system, he must be able to do his work well and needs the best work. environment, and the latter is based on a condition that must be required - the club's transfer power.

Just like Chelsea's Mourinho, he can't say that he can buy any players he needs, but Chelsea will never sell the players he likes.

This is also the bottom line of Wansheng.

He doesn't want to see the players he's worked so hard to develop be sold by the club. That will bring benefits to the club, but it has nothing to do with him.

The strength of the team is damaged, and it becomes difficult for him to lead the team to get better results. He only has losses but no gains. So what has he become in this process?

A money-making machine dedicated to helping clubs develop talents?

This is not acceptable to Wansheng.

Even if the club offered a higher salary contract, he would not agree, not to mention, the football training master system needs one champion and one success. Only with these can he develop more functions, and he will have more abilities, which also represents the improvement of his ability to lead the team.

In short, for various reasons, Wansheng must get the absolute transfer right.

But apparently, the negotiations in this regard are not going well.

The result of Kevin Tagore's feedback to him is that the club only agreed to retain the so-called 'the right to make a decision for players below £5 million', which is almost the same as no transfer rights, because even Bolton Reiter, there are clubs At this price, he might not even be able to keep the Leiter he cultivated.

"Absolutely not! Keep talking with them!" Wan Sheng said sharply.

"Wan Sheng. This seems to be their bottom line." Kevin - Tagore said, "They are holding on to it. They are willing to pay a higher salary and do not give you this right."

"A higher salary? How much?" Wan Sheng raised the corners of his mouth in disdain.

"A three-year contract. An average of around £4m."

"that's it?"

If he heard about the annual salary of 4 million pounds in the past, Wansheng could directly agree without any conditions. This is second only to Mourinho and Eriksen in England, and the salary is equivalent to Ferguson and Wenger. To a certain extent, but now he doesn't care at all, after all, the situation is different, and now he needs transfer rights. Moreover, Derby County has more than tripled its assets in two years by relying on him alone. This is a problem involving tens of millions of pounds. If it can lead the team to win the 'Little Triple Crown' this season, it will only be two championships. Combined, the prize money amounts to around £15 million.

In this case, what does a £4 million salary count for?

Without Wansheng, Derby County would have no chance of winning the title. Because of this, he is absolutely confident to think so!

Because of this, Wan Sheng doesn't care about the salary of 4 million pounds at all, because he knows that there are definitely clubs who are willing to pay the same salary and hope that he can join. Just this season's results, he has fully proved his ability.

Fight for the Premier League title, fight for the UEFA Cup. Not by luck!

......

The conversation between Wansheng and Kevin Tagore was inconclusive, and the contract renewal was not reached, so the negotiation could only continue, even if it was delayed.

Wansheng didn’t think about whether to leave. He hoped that the club would agree to his conditions; Derby County Club also didn’t want him to leave, because it was very difficult to find a replacement, especially Wansheng’s popularity in Derby County was very high, and he was absolutely on the players. That said, the fans absolutely support him.

Under such circumstances, the club would not dare to turn against him.

They didn't even dare to announce the problems they encountered in the negotiation with Wansheng because they were afraid that the club would encounter turmoil. If they did, the fans would definitely not support them. They had just taken over the club, but they didn't want to be swayed. The fans were devastated.

The same goes for the team.

Pearson and Sam Rush have already been to the team, and if they look around, they know the respect that the players have for Wansheng. This kind of respect is really scary. They know that if there is a conflict between the club and Wansheng, the players will I will definitely support Wansheng... Really speaking, these players are the greatest wealth of the entire Derby County club. It is nothing to talk about one player, but if it is contradicted by all the players, even if the player belongs to Derby County Club, they absolutely can't take it.

Therefore, even if the negotiations do not go well, the club can only appease Wansheng.

Under such circumstances, Wansheng was not easy to say anything. He continued to negotiate if the negotiation did not go well. He handed over all the work to Kevin Tagore, and he focused on leading the team to the arena.

On April 8, Derby County visited Spain and played against Villarreal.

Spain's 'yellow submarine' is still quite powerful.

In 1923, the city of Villarreal, north of Valencia, also had a team of the same name. However, like Levante, Villarreal spent most of the time in the lower leagues after its establishment. In the 1960s, the "Yellow Submarine" of the "Beatles" band swept Europe. When Villarreal fans were watching football at home, they would hum "Yellow Submarine" whenever their love was deep. Therefore, for Villarreal, who has never had an official team song, this popular song has quietly become the team's "quasi-team song". Coupled with the fact that Villarreal's home jersey is a brilliant bright yellow, so "Yellow Submarine" has simply become the team's nickname.

At the end of the 1997-98 season, on the club's 75th birthday, Villarreal entered La Liga for the first time. Excited fans spontaneously composed a team song to replace "Yellow Submarine", but this rather heroic nickname has been retained, and Villarreal even designed a miniature submarine as the head. robot as the team's mascot.

The current 'yellow submarines' are definitely quite powerful. They can compete with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia in La Liga. Every year their goal is to qualify for the Champions League, and they have done a good job. Villarreal are currently third in the league, behind second-placed Real Madrid.

In the Villarreal team, the most famous player is the core midfielder Riquelme.

Riquelme is one of the most famous football masters in the world. Now 26 years old, he is also at the peak of his career as a professional player. He once joined Barcelona, ​​but it is a pity that Barcelona was in a turbulent period of change. The new coach Rijkaard brought the Brazilian genius Ronaldinini Austria, as a result Riquelme became a victim and could only move to Villarreal.

But at Villarreal, Riquel did well. He and Diego Forlan worked seamlessly together, winning one by one for Villarreal, and the team's ranking was also rising.

Riquelme + Diego - Forlan, is Villarreal's biggest killer.

The two are also Villarreal's most famous players.

Globally, even Van der Vaart can't compare to Diego Forlan, let alone Riquelme. It's not about worth, it's about fame. No other Derby County player can compare.

The fame of the star may be difficult to explain, but at least it proves the strength of Villarreal.

Wansheng has no experience playing against a Spanish team, but he knows what to expect against a Spanish team. What he will inevitably encounter is the gorgeous style of play, exquisite coordination, outstanding skills, etc. These opponents must be have.

In this regard. Derby County is not necessarily weaker than Villarreal.

But Derby County is a Premier League team, even if the players are skilled. But as an English team, it is rare to really compete with opponents in terms of technology, which is not the way of a Premier League team.

In Spain, Wansheng will not change the 'Premier League style' that the team has, to 'attack the other's strengths'.

So in the match against Villarreal, Wansheng chose a solid defensive counterattack--innumerable history has proved that the most feared thing for La Liga teams is a solid defense, and the memory of the previous life also tells Wansheng that even if it is outstanding Such as Barcelona's 'Dream Team', there is still no way to take Mourinho's 'defense against Real Madrid'.

Riquelme’s soft autumn wind also affected the entire Villarreal team. They were better in La Liga, and now they have encountered Derby County from the Premier League, so Wansheng has requirements for players,” Must be tough and tough!"

Everyone understands.

When it came to the game, Villarreal saw this tough Derby County.

They found that their gorgeous style of play was useless at all. Derby County shrunk the defense line and defended firmly, and there were few gaps in the backcourt. The important thing was that the opponent's defense was very rough, and there was no room for their feet. After a few times, a lot of Billy The Arreal players were a little shocked.

Before the game, they also felt that the opponent was a technically superior team, and the opponent was hailed by the English media as one of the best attacking teams in England.

But now I can't see that at all.

What they saw was just solid defenses and rough moves one by one. Many Villarreal players were a little timid, thinking that we are here to play, not to fight you desperately, such a game. It is estimated that we can only meet in the Derby, but between us... there is not such a big hatred!

Derby County players don't care what their opponents think, they just follow the coach's instructions.

In fact, they also want to play beautiful offense, but this is an away game, and reason tells them that it is unwise to compete with opponents for skills, so they still insist on playing like this, and most of their offenses rely on quick counterattacks.

This style of play really made Villarreal very uncomfortable.

Many Villarreal players look to Riquelme, who is the captain of the team. He is also the midfield commander and spiritual pillar of the team... But at this time Riquelme is really overwhelmed, his skills are soft, and his performance in the face of tough defense would have been affected, not to mention, Derby The county also defended him. Whenever he got the ball, he always had to face at least two players pressing down. Under such circumstances, Riquelme was really powerless to do anything.

As you can see from the game on the pitch, Derby County played very passively. And Villarreal played very hard.

It was a tough battle for both teams.

......

The game was intense in both halves, but Villarreal struggled to break through the Derby defense. Derby County put more energy on defense, and the game went on for 80 minutes and the two teams still did not score.

Until the 81st minute, the game was rewritten.

Villarreal missed a pass, causing the ball to be broken by Morris in the midline, and Derby County got a very good opportunity to counterattack.

Maurice made an oblique pass to Ribery. Ribery took the ball and attacked the frontcourt directly. Villarreal was a little flustered. There was no time to organize the defense at all, and as a result, Ribery cut directly into the middle and pushed the ball horizontally to keep up with Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart dribbled the ball over the opponent's central defender and faced the goalkeeper!

In Villarreal goalkeeper Vieira a little flustered, Van der Vaart accurately pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!

"Goal scored! Raphael van der Vaart!"

All Derby County cheered as Van der Vaart scored.

The Villarreal fans were silent. They did not expect that the team would be scored by the opponent at home, especially since it was a goal scored in the 80 minutes of the game. Then go to the away game and then play, will Villarreal still have a chance?

Just as Villarreal thought, Van der Vaart's goal also became the only goal in the game, and the game between the two teams ended 0:1. Derby County took away victory from Love Song Stadium.

After the game, Wansheng led the team back to the club.

They don't have time to reminisce about the victory. A new round of the league soon ushered in, this is the thirty-second round, Derby County's away game against Aston Villa.

Aston Villa is not weak, it is definitely a powerhouse in the Premier League, and this is their home ground. Derby County is still quite cautious, preparing carefully before the game, and being very serious in the game.

In the end, after a whole game, Derby County defeated Aston Villa 2:1.

It is worth mentioning that Ian Taylor, who came off the bench in the second half, scored the winning goal, which was his fourth goal of the season, and the goal for Aston Villa was special to him. Meaning - he was originally an Aston Villa legend, and he has deep feelings for Aston Villa.

Ian Taylor decided to retire at the end of the season.

Taylor's idea was to become a journalist. In fact, he had already planned to do so last year, but Wan Sheng talked to him and Derby County was going to play in the Premier League again, so he chose to stay for another season. It's almost over now, and he feels that he doesn't have enough physical energy to face the professional game.

He also hopes that he can change his life as soon as possible.

And for Ian Taylor, the goal was enough to give him a perfect end to his career, who spent most of his career at Aston Villa and now scores a goal against his old club In the end, it was really perfect.

But Ian Taylor has no plans to retire now.

It's like he said to Wan Sheng, "I want to follow the team to win the other two championships this season!" If the team's performance this season was not very good, maybe he would really choose to retire after the game.

Ending with a game against Aston Villa is another perfection, isn't it?

Wan Sheng shook his head with a smile, and replied, "If you want to retire, I won't agree. The team still needs you next."

"If that's consolation...I'm heartbroken."

Ian Taylor laughed.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a person suddenly walked into the locker room, a short man with yellow hair and a small flat head. It was the club's general manager Sam Rush, and behind him was club chairman Pearson.

The arrival of the two made the locker room quiet.

Everyone doesn't know why the two suddenly walked into the dressing room. Even if they came to Birmingham to watch the game, they didn't need to meet the players, right?

Amid everyone's doubts, Pearson smiled, put the small box in his hand on the table, and opened it to see that it was full of stacks of banknotes, "First of all, I want to congratulate everyone on your victory, no, it's ours too. victory."

He pointed to the banknotes and said, "This is the club's victory bonus for everyone! One hundred thousand pounds is not too much, not too little. I want to use this as a reward for your victory."

"Now, I announce that from today, every time you win a game, you will get a bonus of 100,000 pounds. If you win the league title, the bonus will be ten times higher, and the UEFA Cup title will be ten times the same!" ( To be continued~^~)
