Chapter 272: Money equals productivity (Second update guaranteed)
Many people believe that this devilish schedule during the Christmas period will cause some trouble for Liverpool. If a team wants to close the distance with them, then this is a perfect opportunity. church
But they ignored a very important issue - for Liverpool, this is a devil's schedule, isn't it for other teams?
The intensive Christmas schedule is for all Premier League teams, not just for Liverpool.
This is true for Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City.
Why is only Liverpool affected?
If it is because they participated in the Club World Cup and their condition and physical fitness were affected by traveling thousands of miles... they won 3:0 against Charlton when they returned to England.
This doesn’t explain the problem. Does anyone else think that Liverpool will be affected by the Club World Cup?
Of course there are.
Therefore, the best way to make these people give up is to tell them the answer with practical actions and smash their delusions with one victory after another.
These people will not give up until they reach the Yellow River, will not shed tears until they see the coffin, and will not look back until they hit the south wall. Only by slapping them with actual results can they be left speechless.
Results are the best self-justification. Even the winner doesn't need to explain. Naturally, a large group of people will jump out to explain for Liverpool.
Against Sunderland at home, there is no suspense in this game.
Those who are anti-Liverpool don't expect the Black Cats to do much in the away game, so there is nothing to be gained by holding Liverpool back.
This is all wishful thinking.
Even if Liverpool rotates significantly...this Liverpool is still not something Sunderland can handle.
Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in the game, Suarez and Gerrard each scored a goal. In the end, Liverpool defeated Sunderland with a score of 3:1.
Maintaining their undefeated season. church
※※※
The day after playing Sunderland was Christmas Eve, and Liverpool Club held a Christmas dinner as usual. The theme this time is not some weird masquerade party.
This team is currently very motivated and emotionally high, and there is no need to use other means to stimulate the players' fighting spirit.
So it was just a normal dinner party.
The only thing that interested everyone was that club owner Chen Xing showed up and announced the bonus distribution plan for winning various championships this season.
Everyone listened with excitement.
Liverpool has done a pretty good job in controlling wages. People like Chen Yingxiong, who has the highest salary in the team, only earn 150,000 pounds per week - this number was the highest weekly salary in the Premier League ten years ago. Five years ago, he could barely squeeze into the top salary ranks of the Premier League. But now, it's not worth mentioning. After the weekly wages of Manchester City's stars generally exceeded the 200,000 pound mark, the salary levels in world football have also risen with the tide.
If a club wants to renew the contract with a certain Ming Dynasty star, the other party will definitely bring up clubs that are not short of money, such as Manchester City and Anzhi, to ask for a salary increase. They will tell the club: "Look, players of that caliber, that so-and-so, that so-and-so, as long as they are in Manchester City/Anzhi, they can get a much higher salary than me. At most, they can get a salary much higher than mine in our team." It’s just a substitute, since they can get so much money, why can’t I get more?”
They threatened a transfer if the club did not meet their demands. Such people are often the absolute core of their respective teams and are indispensable important figures. The club naturally couldn't afford to offend, so in the end they had to give in and give them a salary increase.
As a result, the overall salary level is too high.
Against this background, Chen Yingxiong's Liverpool's highest salary of 150,000 pounds seems so... inappropriate.
But Chen Yingxiong didn't seem to care about the salary. 150,000 was enough for him, so he didn't ask for a salary increase. The bulk of his annual income is not the salary paid to him by the club anyway, but various product endorsements.
As the team's number one star, absolute main force, and superstar, if Chen Yingxiong doesn't raise his salary, will other players be embarrassed to raise it? Unless it is really too low, Liverpool Club can give them a new contract, but the salary of this contract is also at a very reasonable level. (《》)
Therefore, Liverpool's financial situation is relatively good. If it were not for the Stanley Stadium construction plan, their financial situation could even be said to be "very good."
Therefore, the salaries of Liverpool players are not very high in world football, and the top management of Liverpool Club also know this. Naturally, they don't think that they can satisfy the players with such a low salary. Since the salary cannot be touched, they can use their brains elsewhere.
Bonuses are a perfect solution.
Wages cannot be increased, but we can increase bonuses. As long as you can win the championship, we will give you lots and lots of bonuses.
Liverpool's average salary is not high among the 20 teams in the Premier League, but their bonus levels are among the highest among the 20 teams.
It can be said that in Liverpool, wages are guaranteed. If you want to make big money, you have to win the championship and earn bonuses. This feels a bit like sales staff's income mainly depends on commission.
This is what Niang came up with. In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the players to win the championship, in order to prevent them from losing motivation and fighting spirit after winning one championship, in order to allow Liverpool to remain competitive enough this season and achieve the great goal of winning seven crowns, we have invested in bonuses. , the club is very willing to spend money.
This is really effective.
"...Everyone knows our goals for this season, so I won't repeat them here. What I want to tell you is that each of the remaining four championships is more important than the last, and the prize money will be higher than the last!"
When Chen Xing announced the winning prizes of Liverpool Club in the League Cup, FA Cup, Premier League and UEFA Champions League, the banquet hall erupted with huge cheers, applause and whistles.
Everyone is excited and excited.
This is human nature. Everyone hopes that they can earn more money by working hard. The happiest moment is when a salary is raised or a bonus is given.
This is true whether you are a professional player or an ordinary white-collar worker.
Who would mind having too much money?
The bonus distribution plan for the second half of the season was announced at the Christmas dinner, and the entire Liverpool team was in high spirits.
The purpose of this dinner party has been achieved.
Now, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, how intensive the competition is, and how powerful the opponent is. As long as they think about the money they can make, these difficulties are nothing.
※※※
Although the interval between the two games was short, there was also a dinner party in between. But when the Liverpool players reappeared on the court, everyone was surprised to find that this team really showed no sign of fatigue.
Some people think they are trying to hold on, while others think this is a return to the past.
No one can guess that the power of money is so great!
When thinking of those huge bonuses, Liverpool's players forgot about fatigue and were full of fighting spirit. The fire of fighting spirit in their hearts burned brightly, urging them to rush forward without stopping for a moment.
In the away game against Blackburn Rovers, Liverpool still made rotations, but as long as Chen Yingxiong is there, victory is guaranteed.
Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in the game, opening the scoring for the team and breaking the deadlock.
The next game will be easy for Liverpool.
Chen Yingxiong's goal was like letting the dam burst, and the flood immediately swallowed Blackburn. In the face of such a huge force, Blackburn didn't even have a chance to call for help.
4:0, Liverpool won easily in the away game. It can be said that they won the opponent without any blood.
It has been twenty league rounds this season and Liverpool remains unbeaten.
In addition to being undefeated in the season, this game also has a very important significance.
That is, this is the second time that Chen Yingxiong has scored in twenty-five consecutive league rounds!
He had previously broken Gerd Muller's record of consecutive scoring games with twenty-five consecutive goals.
Then in the twenty-sixth round, his scoring pace stopped, and this record was ended by Bolton.
It was surprising at the time. No one could have imagined that Chen Yingxiong would fall at Bolton's feet.
After the accident, there is regret. Everyone feels that Chen Yingxiong can actually continue to score goals. It would be a pity if it ends like this.
Let alone setting a new record next time, it will not be easy to even approach this record.
Many people think that the twenty-five-game consecutive scoring record is a big mountain in world football, which can only be left to future generations to admire. If it is to be broken, who knows when it will be.
Who would have thought that in just two seasons, Chen Yingxiong himself would equal this record again.
As long as he scores in the next league game, it will be a new record!
"...It seems that the only one who can break Chen Yingxiong's record is himself..." Some media commented after the game when talking about this matter.
Chen Yingxiong didn't know it himself. He only knew that he had tied this record when reporters asked him.
"Ah, so fast? Isn't this great? I will set a new record in the next game!"
"Do you have any special feelings, hero..." the reporter asked.
Chen Yingxiong shrugged, shook his head and spread his hands: "No."
Everyone was surprised. This was about to set a new record. Why weren’t there any excitement?
Chen Yingxiong curled his lips and choked the reporters with his words.
"Isn't it normal to break records? Is there anything to be happy about?"
He didn't even turn his head when he said this, and he had the advantage of height. He just looked down with squinting eyes and glanced at the reporter who asked this question.
His expression and eyes immediately made the reporters feel like they were a country bumpkin who made a fuss and had never seen much of the world... In front of Chen Yingxiong, they could only lower their heads and feel ashamed.
