Chapter 560 The Goal of the New Season

A flight from Indonesia slowly landed at Beijing Capital Airport.

Thousands of fans who had been waiting at the airport exit immediately cheered.

Three years ago, the Chinese team won the first Asian Cup championship in history in Beijing. This was the first significant championship in the history of Chinese football, but it was still widely questioned at home and abroad.

Not to mention the remarks of some foreign media, even in China, there are still many people who believe that the Chinese team can win the Asian Cup, and it is more to take advantage of the host, because in the whole tournament, all the games of the Chinese team are in the held in Beijing.

In the Asian Cup final, the referee canceled the handball of the Japanese team, which led to a huge drop in Japanese morale.

Even, when the Chinese team made zero breakthroughs in the World Cup in Germany, with one win and one draw, it was impossible to convince these stubborn fans that the Chinese team was on the road of becoming stronger.

Some of these people have been hurt so deeply and ruthlessly in the past that they can't believe it at all, while others are...

In the past three years, there have been various voices arguing about the strength and performance of the Chinese team.

And now, the Chinese team has won the Asian Cup again, becoming another team that successfully defended the Asian Cup.

This is undoubtedly a major symbol of the Asian team.

In the history of the Asian Cup, South Korea has defended its title, Iran has won three consecutive championships, Saudi Arabia has also defended its title, and Japan has once almost successfully defended its title, and China is the fourth team in the Asian Cup to successfully defend its title.

With this championship, everyone believes that domestic fans will become more and more confident.

...

When head coach Alihan took the Chinese team internationals out of the gate one after another, all the fans who picked up the plane cheered.

Especially when they saw that the national team captain Li Weifeng appeared holding the Asian Cup championship trophy, many fans couldn't help but sang the national anthem. Many people even choked up, but they were still singing hard. .

Yang Yang walked in the middle of the team, he received the most appreciation, the most flowers and applause.

For two consecutive Asian Cups, he has been the top scorer and the best player, which makes everyone believe that he is already a veritable number one star in Asia, and he still belongs to the kind that is far away from the challenger.

The AFC even highly praised Yang Yang on the official website, and encouraged him to continue to work hard, hoping that he could represent Asian football, compete with the top players in the world, and show the elegance of Asian players.

"There is no doubt that Yang Yang, who is only 20 years old, is already among the greatest players of all time in Asia!"

Not only the AFC, but other Asian countries, even mortal enemies South Korea and Japan, have to agree with Yang Yang's strength.

So after losing the semifinals, the general public opinion in Japan is that they did not lose to the Chinese team, but to Yang Yang, which is obviously more acceptable to them.

Because at the very least, Yang Yang is a top star who competes with superstars such as Kaka and Ronaldinho in Europe.

Losing to Yang Yang is not a shame for Japan and South Korea, but more like a pride.

But in any case, the Chinese team successfully defended the Asian Cup, which is definitely a grand event for the whole country to rejoice!

Nearly 1,000 fans came to pick up the plane, which also allowed the national football players to enjoy unprecedented treatment and honors.

This championship is bound to push Yang Yang's status and influence in the country to a higher level once again, and everyone around him will also benefit from it.

…………

When the Chinese team played in Southeast Asia, Liverpool played a few warm-up games in Hong Kong.

With the addition of Yang Yang, Liverpool's popularity in China has skyrocketed, quickly becoming the most popular Premier League team in Asia, and the Reds themselves have many fans in Hong Kong.

This year is the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. The Hong Kong government specially held a celebration and invited many teams including Liverpool to play the warm-up match, which was very lively. The only regret is that Liverpool's top star Yang Yang failed to The team went to Hong Kong, which made Hong Kong citizens and fans feel very sorry.

As part of China, they are also proud and proud of Yang Yang.

When Yang Yang led the Chinese team to win the Asian Cup in Indonesia, everyone from Liverpool sent congratulatory messages one after another. The official website also reported the game for the first time, giving great recognition and affirmation to Yang Yang's performance in the Asian Cup.

Almost at the same time as the Chinese team returned to Beijing, Liverpool also set off to return to the United Kingdom.

However, Liverpool's general manager Rick Parry and the club's legal department did not return with the team, but flew from Hong Kong to Beijing accompanied by Yang Yang's agent Raiola.

After Yang Yang returned to Beijing from Indonesia and celebrated the championship with the national team, the two sides took time to meet in the hotel that afternoon, and the two sides formally reached an agreement on Yang Yang's contract renewal.

Yang Yang officially signed a new five-year contract with Liverpool. The weekly salary has been increased to 150,000 pounds, and the annual salary is 7.8 million pounds. Converted to euros, it is about 12 million euros.

However, since the weekly salary of the Premier League is pre-tax, with 45% of personal income tax deducted, Yang Yang's current annual salary after tax has increased to 6.5 million euros.

This annual salary is definitely the most powerful first-ever salary in the Premier League, surpassing Gerrard and Shevchenko after the renewal of contracts, and becoming the veritable first-ever salary in the Premier League.

In addition to the annual salary, a series of other rewards such as entry bonuses, goal bonuses, and championship bonuses have also risen with the tide.

But don't underestimate these. Last season, in addition to his annual salary, Yang Yang received various bonuses, especially for winning the Champions League and the runner-up in the Premier League. All added up to two or three million euros, which is also quite a lot of money. income.

Yang Yang's contract is the highest in the Premier League in any aspect, which also reflects Liverpool's sincerity and Raiola's excellent negotiating skills.

But if it is compared with the maximum salary of other leagues in Europe, it is still slightly inferior. For example, Barcelona's Ronaldinho's annual salary after tax is nearly 10 million, which is again a lot higher than Yang Yang.

However, this is not what Yang Yang values.

Rick Parry's trip was to renew his contract with Yang Yang, and as soon as the contract was signed, he completed the mission of the trip.

...

"As the team won the championship in Athens last year and won the Champions League twice within three years, the club's various incomes have also risen, and the sponsors' income has also increased a lot. In the next three years, the team's potential income will continue to increase steadily. ."

Rick Parry introduces the current situation of Liverpool with a smile.

According to the current situation, Liverpool has undoubtedly begun to embark on the road of healthy development.

After hearing this, Raiola glanced at Yang Yang and said suddenly: "But I heard that your two new bosses don't seem to have as much financial resources as rumored by the outside world. Before they bought Liverpool, most of the funds came from banks. loan, and this year, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has intensified, and their wealth has also shrunk significantly.”

Obviously, Fat Italian didn't want to embarrass Rick Parry, but wanted to remind Yang Yang of something.

The general manager of Liverpool was somewhat embarrassed after hearing it, "There are countless rumors that are true or false, and they also promised that they would not pass on their private debts to Liverpool."

Rick Parry said this with no confidence.

Yang Yang and Raiola naturally didn't believe it.

Maybe they are okay for the time being. After all, they are newcomers and want a good reputation, but if they are in a financial dilemma, as rumored, how can they not be passed on to Liverpool?

Just like when the Glazer family bought Manchester United, in the end, Manchester United had to pay back the interest on the bank loan.

For them operating with capital, this is a routine operation.

In this field of football, no matter how you play, you can't play these capital players.

"I heard that this year, the team renews contracts on a large scale. How is the progress?" Yang Yang didn't want to go further into this topic.

Rick Parry smiled at him, thanking him for shifting the subject and avoiding his own embarrassment.

"Basically all of them have renewed their contracts, including Finnan, Aurelio, Xavi Alonso and others, all of them have renewed their contracts, and the team also spent 20 million pounds to completely buy out Maas Celano."

After hearing this, Yang Yang immediately laughed, this is definitely the best news.

Mascherano's strength is unquestionable. Although he only joined the team in the second half of last season and only played a few games, it is clear that he has thoroughly proved his strength, and he and Kazakhstan V. Alonso's partner is obviously better than Mohamed Sissoko.

The ownership of the Argentine midfielder is very chaotic, and the contract is quite complicated. At the beginning, Liverpool loaned him for one and a half years, and there was a buyout clause of 16 million pounds in the middle, but in fact, even if Liverpool really did this A sum of money also needs to see the face of West Ham United.

The Hammer Gang does not have Mascherano's ownership, and there are Corinthians behind them, and Corinthians have other more complicated ownership relationships behind them. In short, they are intricate and confusing.

Therefore, the way Liverpool finally chose is to directly give a buyout fee of 16 million pounds, buy the ownership of Mascherano, and let West Ham United and Corinthians do the rest. deal with.

From now on, Mascherano belongs only to Liverpool.

"This summer we mainly focus on renewals and bench thickness. In addition to large-scale renewals, we sold Luis Garcia, Cisse, Pangler, Zenden, Dudek and Robbie. Fowler and other players, but also brought in Benayoun, Lucas Rewa and San Jose and other players."

"In addition, we also retained several players such as Hypia, Finnan and Riise. The overall strength of the team in the new season will be stronger than last season, and our goal is to maintain the competitiveness of the Champions League. , while attacking the league title."

"We never won the Premier League and that's the biggest regret of all Liverpool people."

Yang Yang nodded silently.

It's not just Liverpool's goal, it's his goal as well.
