King of Competition

Chapter 319 New Teammate

The salary of professional football players is generally the weekly salary and goal bonus. Other aspects are the share of some personal portrait rights advertisements. For ordinary players, the three largest incomes are these three.

But the stars are different.

The club's stars not only have high advertising revenue, but also a revenue, that is, the club's revenue share stipulated in the contract. This part of the income is the share of the club's net income every season. For example, Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League have a net income of tens of millions of pounds each year, while Real Madrid in La Liga has a net income of hundreds of millions of euros per year. This profit is very large.

In order to encourage players to work hard, the star's income share is naturally indispensable.

David. Beckham's weekly salary in his first year at Real Madrid was £110,000, but in that year, with the club's share, his net salary in the club also exceeded 10 million pounds.

Now, the English media is concerned about Don Jack's club income.

At the beginning of last summer, Don Jack was still a talented young striker who transferred from the Bundesliga to Liverpool, and that's all. He is nothing special, that is, he is relatively efficient at Schalke 04 Club, and he has not won any honors. Such a player is definitely not likely to get such a high. Level of contracts.

It can only be different from the past.

Any fan who is a little knowledgeable knows the role of this No. 10 young boy in Liverpool. It can be said that his role is no less than that of Gerrard, who can get a 5% share of net income from the club every year, which is at least equal to Gerrard's salary of 50,000 pounds a week. Water.

So now that this brunette boy has got a big contract with a weekly salary of 135,000 pounds, what will be his share of net income at Liverpool?

After Liverpool opened the public re-signing of the contract with Don Jack, more media became concerned about this issue. When there was no news, these media began to speculate.

"Jack's income will be the first in the Premier League!!!"

Such a headline appeared in the Guardian the next day. The main content of the article is about Don Jack's new contract. Due to various confidentiality measures, reporters can only understand part of the contract, such as weekly salary, goal bonus, etc., and other aspects involved will not be made public.

But the reporter of The Guardian did not discuss the public content, but analyzed Don Jack's income in the next year.

Previously, in England's football circle, the highest-paid player was Manchester United star Leo. Ferdinand, this English stick guy earns 110,000 pounds every week, and even if he is banned from the game, he still gets his salary.

The Guardian first satirized the fact that Manchester United's central defender Ferdinand was banned for more than a year, and then said: "Jack's current salary is 135,000 pounds, which is one more star's salary than the former. Jack is also younger. His continuous goals will make his goal bonus superimposed all the time. The income will continue to grow. It can be expected that Jack will become the highest-paid player among England players next season.

The comments of the Guardian are very mediocre, but the content is very real. Don Jack's contract can really be said to be the first in England. The main reason is that his weekly salary is too terrible. Even the star players in Chelsea, whose salary system is about to collapse, they feel that when they see this salary It's out of reach.

135,000 pounds!

This can be understood as the salary of the most expensive football player in the world.

Even on the galactic battleship, the salary of the alien Ronaldo is comparable to that of this brunette boy, and the weekly salary of England's most expensive fan 'Little Bay' is only 110,000 pounds. According to the contract signed by Real Madrid and Beckham, his weekly salary may not exceed after September next year. 130,000 pounds.

Unlike the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph focuses on the value of Don Jack.

As Liverpool's largest media, the Daily Telegraph is also a very influential newspaper in Europe. It is impossible for them to humble themselves to praise Don Jack, so from another perspective, they comment on whether it is worth retaining such a young player with such a high salary.

“...... What Liverpool needs is a stable shooter!"

At the beginning of the article, the Daily Telegraph talked about this. From Liverpool's history since the start of the Premier League, they talked about Liverpool's biggest demand: "Liver's striker has been unstable. Before Jack, he was Owen. There is no doubt about the strength of the golden boy, but in Liverpool, he paid tribute. There are not many attacks, and his state has been unstable.

"Before Owen, the biggest reason why Liverpool repeatedly failed in the competition with Manchester United and Arsenal was their front line, which always had various problems. This leads to their shortcomings in attack, making them look more like a team that wins by defense.

“...... Now, the Spaniard is here. The first thing he did when he came to Liverpool was to improve the front line. He did it. He brought Jack. Li. Jack's strength has been confirmed, and his continuous attacks have brought victories to Liverpool again and again. So far, Jack has contributed an average of 19 goals to Liverpool per game, which is almost unprecedented. As a 20-year-old player, Jack has ushered in the peak of his career in advance.

"It's not too much for such a player to make a better contract."

"But we have the example of Maradona. Maradona was also the best football player in the world when he was in Barcelona. It was easier for him to bring victory every time he played. At that time, he was the god of the whole football world. But it is precisely because he is too young that he is addicted to pleasure..."

"Jack is also young!!!"

"Such a young player gets such a salary. I really hope he can be self-disciplined so that he can maintain his state. It's just that Liverpool is wise. They only signed a two-and-a-half-year contract.

"I think, with Jack's current performance, such a contract will be provided for Jack, whether it is Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Barcelona and other rich clubs. No matter what happens to him in the future, Liverpool is finally one step ahead. We look forward to Jack's future performance..."

The Daily Telegraph has a lot of comments about Jack. Generally speaking, it is to remind fans and Don Jack that it is not all good to get such a high-paying contract too early. On the other hand, they also praised Liverpool's decisive decision, because like It is a player who behaves like Don Jack, and with his commercial value, he may get a better contract in any rich club.

Liverpool is one step ahead!

Such comments are highlighted in many praises and surprises. The Daily Telegraph also dominates the sales of the day, and the content is indeed thought-provoking. In the eyes of Europeans, only such an argument is the most meaningful. I'm afraid that Liverpool fans like to listen to all the praise.

The above are all media that support Liverpool.

There are more media in southern England questioning the future of Don Jack. As the Daily Telegraph said, getting such a high-paying contract prematurely may bring great harm to a player's own development. At the same time, these media are also questioning the state of Don Jack.

For example, The Times.

As a big newspaper in London, the Times is of course more inclined to London's teams. They are not used to Manchester and Liverpool. Neither Manchester United nor Liverpool will win the praise of The Times. They are the supporters of the London team.

When Liverpool announced the news, the official website of The Times immediately began to question Don Jack's status.

Their argument is sufficient, that is, Don Jack's time in the professional league is too short.

“...... A player who has only joined the professional league for a year has got almost the highest-paid contract in the world. This is a complete irony, a satire on football, a satire on all professional players..."

Such a sentence is to completely doubt Don Jack. At the same time, The Times still seemed to be dissatisfied, and they said, "... No player has a period of ups and downs. Whether it is Owen or Beckham, whether it is Hiller or Hase, these players have ups and downs. Liverpool's No. 10 is only at the peak of the state. When this peak period is over, no one can guarantee that he can score a few goals, or even no one can guarantee whether he is still Walking into the stadium and paying such a high salary for such a player, Liverpool obviously did a stupid thing, which would put their finances in crisis.

"..... In contrast, Chelsea and Arsenal are different.

"Chelsea has a boss of the world's richest people. They will never fall into a financial crisis, while Arsenal is building stars to improve the club's environment with the club's income funds. Such investment is the most correct choice for the club's development. Only such a club can win more championships. ......”

What the Times said before is a little reasonable, but the latter can be completely ignored by readers.

This kind of naked 'contrast theory' can only come from the supportive media. Of course, London fans will be happy to read it, but Liverpool fans will throw this newspaper into the garbage. However, the Times was originally mainly distributed in London, and they were not afraid of too much reduction in circulation.

Similarly, many media in the south of England have raised questions. They question Don Jack's ability and Liverpool's decision. In short, if Don Jack transfers to the club they support, these voices will immediately turn into praise.

Unfortunately, Don Jack is in Liverpool.

At least for a short time, these media must have been the enemy of Liverpool and also the enemy of Don Jack. They will not praise Liverpool or Don Jack. On the contrary, as Don Jack performs well, they can only try their best to think about how to satirize and how to sarcastically.

It's really hard for these people.

There are still many neutral sports media in England, and it can't be said that. It should be said that there are many gossip media in England. These media have no supporting teams, or have no hostility or good relations with Liverpool, so they are uniformly called neutral media.

For the neutral media, they can only gossip about Liverpool's big contract.

This kind of gossip has a strong desire to explore. For example, Middlesbrough put forward speculation about Don Jack's share of net income in Liverpool.

Generally speaking, unless it is approved by both parties, this part of the income is not public. Don Jack's new contract has just been signed. Of course, this part of the content will not be made public, which is up to the neutral media to gossip.

More media think it will be 4%.

There is a reason for this.

In Liverpool, the most important player has always been Gerrard. Even now, Gerrard is still an indispensable member of Liverpool. At the same time, as a native of Liverpool, Gerrard is also a banner of Liverpool.

No matter which player leaves, Gerard can't leave, because it will cause great losses to Liverpool.

So, even last summer, Gerrard even publicly expressed his intention to leave Liverpool, but now, the club still has no grudge against him. Gerrard is still one of the most trusted players under Benitez, who was still on the highest-paid contract before.

Such a player's net income share in Liverpool is 5%.

So, as the top scorer of Liverpool's striker, Jack, who has just joined the team for half a year. Li, no matter how good he is, how can he surpass Gerard? Therefore, many media think that this number is conservatively estimated to be 4%, and even if it is more, it is impossible to exceed 5%.

This is already a very high number.

The meaning of this figure is that Don Jack can earn three million pounds more from Liverpool every year. Such a large amount of income is not a small amount even for his contract with a weekly salary of 130,000 pounds.

"Jack surpasses Beckham to become the richest football player, just around the corner!!!"

They even made such a statement to the neutral media. They believe that if Don Jack continues to perform, he will earn more than Beckham in the future and become the richest football player in the world.

"This... It's really powerful."

Sitting lazily on the lounge chair, Don Jack was eating breakfast while looking at yesterday's newspaper with a happy smile on his face.

He is happy.

Yesterday, Don Jack officially signed a new contract with the club. Not only the contract, but also got a signature fee of 2 million pounds. This income greatly made up for his original expenditure, and even a small part of the balance. Every time he saw the numbers on the card, Don Jack always felt full of energy and his whole body was full. Full of strength.

At the same time, he also saw those media reports.

Touted his remarks, Jack Don felt boring after reading a few articles. What interested him was the media's proportion of his share of the club's income.

In fact, Don Jack didn't understand this at first. After Maximilian explained it to him for a long time, he realized that it was equivalent to giving himself an extra income!

Income! That's income!

As for the pound, Don Jack can be said to the extent that the comer does not refuse. Now the sister lying in his room is still waiting for him to feed him. What if he doesn't make more money!?

It's great to have one more income.

Liverpool provides a share of only 4%, which is also a figure speculated by neutral media. Don Jack's contract is already so rich that Liverpool can't make a higher share of income, otherwise their salary system will collapse directly.

After Maximilian's various language offensive, when the contract was officially signed yesterday afternoon, the two sides reached an agreement: Don Jack occupies 4% of the club's season revenue share, and this result remains unchanged. At the same time, if the team wins the league championship, it will increase its share by 3% and win the Champions League. , then increase by another 3%.

Such an agreement was added after Don Jack thought about it.

Maybe life is too low. Don Jack has always been a little adventurous. He has a fixed increase of 1% to reach Gerrard's level, and his income will be two or three hundred pounds more in a season. But if this is added, if Liverpool wins the double championship of the league championship and the Champions League, that season Liverpool Club's income will definitely exceed more than 80 million pounds, and its share will reach 10%, so that your income will exceed your salary...

Thinking about it, Don Jack suddenly felt that there was a little saliva secreting from the corners of his mouth. He wiped it casually, got up and shouted upstairs, "Xue'er, sleep well, I'm going to train!" After saying that, Jack Don walked out of the door with the car key.

This day is really a happy day.

Not only did the contract signed yesterday satisfy Don Jack. Today, Liverpool also welcomed two new teammates, one is Morents from Real Madrid, and the other is Carson, a young player who transferred from Leeds United.

There is no comparison between the two.

Morentes is a well-known striker, while Carson is an unknown goalkeeper in the small ball club. Benitez has always been dissatisfied with the position of the goalkeeper. The main goalkeeper Dudek has been injured frequently recently, and the substitute goalkeeper Kirkland is extremely unstable, so Carson has the opportunity to come to Liverpool.

The scene when the two arrived also confirmed this. When Morents came to the club to report, Benitez took the initiative to pull Morents and introduced them to the players one by one. When Carson came, he was very low-key. Even when he had trained with the team, everyone knew that there was a new teammate.

Such a differential treatment, even Don Jack is depressed for Carson.

But the world of football is like this. If you don't have strength, no one will recognize it. When Don Jack first came to Liverpool, he was also not trusted by his teammates. The difference is that his value is not low, and the head coach Benitez tried his best to introduce, and his teammates will not be too repulsive.

As for Carson? It's just a little guy of 750,000 pounds.

It's not worth mentioning!

But Don Jack's enthusiasm for Carson far exceeds that of Morentes...
