364. A higher level of difficulty?
"This was supposed to be a great Champions League semi-final, but I watched a 90-minute drama performance."
At the post-match press conference, Real Madrid coach Mourinho only left this sentence:
"According to my personal statistics, Bayern's frontcourt players performed at least three fake falls in the penalty area. Fortunately, the referee is very experienced and has not been fooled easily. In addition, I have also seen several good scenes of teammates fighting..."
The Portuguese shrugged:
"I admit that they succeeded in becoming the protagonists on the stage, like a few clowns, with bright red tomato sauce on their faces... Maybe they also know that even at their home court, it is only in this way that they can defeat Real Madrid."
"I have a great respect for Mr. Heinx, who has a Champions League trophy, and I... own two."
The madman did not give in to this old senior at all:
"This is our first failure in the Champions League this season. I have learned some lessons. When we return to the Bernabeu, we will still do our best to win. In the football world, 5-1 is not the end of the world. As long as we score four goals, we will still advance to the finals. For Real Madrid, four goals are not difficult."
"Bayern's performance? If they didn't have that much performance, maybe I would praise them, but now... you know what I mean."
"Long? He is a very good player, I mean the world's top, the Golden Globes and the UEFA Best Player honors have proved that."
Mourinho also focused on Bayern No. 8, which scored twice:
"In fact, last summer, we had the opportunity to make an offer to Ajax, but our midfielder was not short of people, so it was put on hold for the time being. I mean... If a player really has top strength, Real Madrid would never give up because of price issues. However, no one can predict the transfer. Let's talk about this after the season ends."
Mourinho is always the master of psychological warfare. At the press conference, there was no frustration on his face at all, and he successfully focused the reporters' attention on the last few words.
Real Madrid wants to introduce the new Golden Ball Master Long Shute?
This is not impossible, because two seasons ago, Long Shute, who was still an unknown man, had fought with Real Madrid many times. Both Mourinho and the senior management of Real Madrid knew about the existence of this guy and had made a offer, but for some other reasons, the offer failed to enter a substantial stage.
Bayern won't let it go?
Long Shute is neither Bayern's local youth training nor has it been very short of time to join the team. As long as they offer them enough prices, Bayern, who has always been at ease to dominate the Bundesliga, will definitely let go.
Of course, even if Bayern insists on letting go, as long as the players themselves agree, Rummenigge and Heness will not break up with Real Madrid, right?
-
Mourinho's tactics did play a role. At least those reporters no longer stared at Real Madrid's tactics in the second round, but instead aimed their muzzles at Heinx in a swarm.
"You reporters, don't listen to the wind and rain. It's not the transfer period yet, and Long Shute is still a Bayern player. If you want to create big news... this way, just ask him."
Eunuch Hai really couldn't stand it, so he pushed Long Shute directly in front of him and blocked the bullets for him.
Long Shute coughed and smiled at the reporters below:
"Perhaps, I should thank Coach Mourinho, because his words today will undoubtedly remind Bayern that it is time to sit down and talk about the new contract with me."
Perhaps, Robben and Ribery should also thank Mourinho.
Because of the blessing of the Magic Bird, the reporters completely forgot to ask about the free kick farce...
-
Although Long Shute felt that there was no big problem with himself, Emma, who learned about his accident, called him and asked him to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to prevent hidden legacy such as concussions.
Heinx also gave him a day off, and the Bayern Club also arranged special staff to accompany him throughout the journey and paid the fee for him...
Fortunately, there was no problem with the examination results prescribed by the hospital, and Long Shute and the club were at ease.
Long Shute, who walked out of the hospital, did not return to his residence. He directed Crom to drive the car directly to the office building of the Bayern Club.
In a small conference room, club chairman Rummenigg, vice chairman and financial director Hopfner, and sports director Nelinger have been waiting for him for a long time.
Of course, the senior executives of these clubs would not sit there bored and stare at each other. They were negotiating contract terms with their agent Tony Moretti. Long Shute's arrival was just a final confirmation of the result.
For ordinary players' contracts, Nelinger, as the sports director, can be finalized by himself, and he doesn't even need to come forward. But now they need to negotiate with Mr. Golden Ball, who is the most popular in football, and even the club chairman Rummenigge has to come to the scene in person to show his importance to the players.
"I'm glad to hear all your health news, dear dragon."
Rumeneg and Longshute shook hands affectionately, and then sat sideways on the sofa:
"Although you've been in Bayern for less than a season, I think it's necessary to rethink some of the terms in the contract. What do you think?"
Long Shu nodded: "I have no reason to refuse, Mr. Chairman."
The so-called "partial terms" are nothing more than Bayern feels that the salary he has offered before is a bit sorry for Long Shute's performance, so he takes the initiative to make up for it.
This cannot be blamed for being too realistic, this is the real world.
After all, Long Shute transferred from a second- and third-rate league and did not prove himself in the mainstream league. No one knows whether he can adapt to the rhythm of the Bundesliga. Radical offer him a too high salary will undoubtedly shake the club's overall salary structure and may also cause unnecessary trouble.
But now this problem no longer exists. He has proved that he has perfectly integrated into Bayern and has even become a core player of Bayern, leading the team to overcome strong opponents many times, so it is time to talk about the conditions.
"No doubt, we will only give you the team's maximum salary, and the highest one, and this one can also be written into the contract terms."
Hopfner, a meritorious minister who has been working for Bayern for 31 years and is about to turn 60, smiled and introduced to Long Shute:
"The annual salary before tax is 12 million euros, and after tax is about 7.5 million euros. The various bonuses have almost doubled. The portrait rights and jersey share are still owned by you, and the contract date is still four years. In addition, we have also set a signing fee of 5 million. I think... you should be able to feel the sincerity of the club."
While he was introducing it, Moretti handed over a note he had just handwritten, which stated the benefits Long Shute could get from the club next season.
If he can maintain this year's efficiency, the number will undoubtedly exceed 15 million euros, which does not include the extra bonuses the club will be awarded after he may win the Golden Globes again.
"I do feel sincerity, Tony, is there any other problem?"
Long Shute put down the notes and asked the agent with a smile - he was in Chinese.
Nowadays, he doesn't care much about the club's salary, because he has made a lot of money in advertising endorsement, and increasing his salary is just to prove his core position in the club.
Moretti looked at several Bayern club bosses on the field and answered very directly:
"They want to set some conditions on your transfer issue, probably because they are worried that you will go to Real Madrid or Barcelona..."
Because they use Chinese, Moretti has no concealment.
"Is it a liquidated damages?"
Long Shute asked again:
"Will Bayern mark me a liquidated damages of hundreds of millions of euros?"
"No," Moretti shook his head, "Bayern generally does not set liquidated damages for his players. This is their tradition. What they mean is to add a limit to the contract..."
Long Shute probably understood what the other party meant, so he laughed and turned to Rumenig:
"Sir, I can understand your concerns, so I have a proposal."
Rumeneg looked at him in a little surprised.
Long Shute looked serious:
"We can note one in the contract: players are not allowed to transfer to Real Madrid or Barcelona, or they can add a few names."
"Then... add Manchester United."
Rummenigge is not polite. He does have some psychological shadows about Ferguson's Red Devils.
Long Shute smiled and shrugged:
"Yes, but in contrast, if one day I want to go somewhere else to meet new challenges, I hope Mr. Chairman does not set too high a threshold on transfer fees."
Rumeneg laughed too:
"We are Bayern. Even if you want to leave, we will send you away in the warmest way."
-
"Boss, to be honest, I don't understand what you think at all."
On the way back to the residence after completing the contract renewal, Moretti finally couldn't help asking:
"Why did you agree to their conditions so easily? We can clearly speak verbally..."
Before he finished his question, Long Shute, who was sitting in the back row, answered him:
"I want to challenge, Tony."
Moretti was obviously stunned, he still didn't understand the employer's meaning.
Krom, who was driving, whistled:
"Tony, you're still too young!"
Moretti glared at him:
"Drive your car!"
Long Shute opened the car window and explained slowly:
"Although Bayern's performance last season was disappointing, it is undeniable that they are already one of the top giants in Europe. There is no big difference between joining Bayern and joining Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United. Perhaps the other three teams can be treated with higher salaries, but that is not what I pursue."
The wind outside the car blew on his face, and his voice seemed to become a little more ethereal:
"It's been so smooth at Bayern. Although the team has not reached its peak this season, there are no challenges in the league. A life without challenges is a bit boring.
I will definitely leave Bayern in the future, otherwise I will worry that my will will be polished and polished by this boringness. At that time, I would never choose Real Madrid and Barcelona who are on the same level as Bayern."
"In terms of game language, playing football in a giant club like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern can only be considered an entry-level difficulty, and our boss Long wants to challenge a higher level of difficulty, right?"
Crom whistled while driving.
Moretti sat in the passenger seat speechlessly, dazed.
The car speed was faster and the wind outside the window became more violent. Long Shute could only squint his eyes slightly to see the scenery on the roadside.
Chapter completed!
