Chapter 7: Face the Brazilian team! After the Football Association issued a salary cap order in 2005, the maximum annual salary of Chinese Super League players was limited to 100 million. Even before the salary cap was announced, Li Jinyu, who had the highest annual salary in the Chinese Super League in 2004, only made 320 million RMB a year. Who is Li Jinyu? He is the top scorer in the Chinese Super League and the best player in the league! Compared with Li Jinyu, Dong Fangzhuo has a huge gap in both personal ability and qualifications. But his annual salary is actually higher than Li Jinyu! Is there any royal law? Are there any laws? No wonder everyone's eyes turned red when they heard Dong Fangzhuo's annual salary. Not to mention them, even Chen Tao was excited and became more determined to study abroad. "By the way, isn't Lin Feng also playing football in Germany? Why don't you ask about his annual salary!" Dong Fangzhuo turned his head to look at Lin Feng beside him, and the other teammates also turned their eyes to Lin Feng. Lin Feng couldn't help but give Dong Fangzhuo a thumbs up in his heart. It really was someone who handed him a pillow when he fell asleep! Just now when Dong Fangzhuo introduced his annual salary, Lin Feng had already observed the changes in everyone's emotions. With Dong Fangzhuo's example in mind, all he had to do now was to further deepen the impression in everyone's mind that "the salary for playing football abroad is high."
So he decided to go with the flow and add fuel to the fire. "My team is not a big club, it's just an ordinary German second division team, so my annual salary is not as high as Brother Dong's." Everyone calmed down a lot after hearing this. Yes, the team Dong Fangzhuo played for was Manchester United, so he couldn't be judged by common sense. But Lin Feng's next words made their breathing quicken. "My annual salary is only about 30 euros!" 30 million euros! That’s it? What about Versailles? At the current exchange rate of the euro, 30 euros is almost 290 million yuan when converted into RMB! This is nearly three times higher than the annual salary of the top player in the Chinese Super League after the salary cap! And this is just the annual salary of an ordinary German second division team! Thinking of this, everyone's breathing became rapid. They can't go to a top club like Manchester United, but they can still get to a team of the level of the German Bundesliga if they try hard. Even if I can't get an annual salary as high as Lin Feng's, if I get half the salary, it would still be several times better than playing football in the country, right? What's more, there are five major leagues in Europe, and the ceiling for career development is higher. If they perform well in the lower-level leagues and are spotted by teams from the top five leagues, they will really be able to soar to success. Currently, the top player in Chinese football is Sun Jihai, who plays in the Premier League. It is said that his weekly salary is pounds, which means his annual salary is close to 1000 million yuan. This annual salary is basically ten times the maximum salary of domestic players! Playing for one year is equivalent to domestic players playing for ten years. It is obvious where to play football for the best future! When they thought of this, it didn’t matter whether they had thought about studying abroad before. Now, almost everyone is eager to transfer to a European team and start their overseas career. "Brother Dong, Brother Lin, I want to study abroad, do you have any solutions?" Hao Junmin, who came from a relatively poor family, was the first one who couldn't help himself and impatiently made a request to Dong Fangzhuo and Lin Feng, two people who had experience in the European leagues. If possible, he even wants to finalize the transfer this summer. "No problem. I'll talk to my agent and ask him to help you find a suitable team." Dong Fangzhuo's agent Gao Qi has some influence in the circle.
The transfer that originally brought him to Manchester United was arranged by the other party. So when he heard Dong Fangzhuo's promise, Hao Junmin felt relieved. Seeing that Hao Junmin had received a promise, other people began to ask Dong Fangzhuo for help. Dong Fangzhuo felt so comfortable when everyone called him Brother Dong that he felt a strong sense of responsibility and agreed to take on all the responsibilities. Chen Tao frowned and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. He is the rising star of this World Youth Championship. With his strength and fame, he naturally does not need to rely on Dong Fangzhuo's connections to find a team. In fact, before going to the Netherlands to participate in the World Youth Championship, he had already received olive branches from many European teams. It's just that at the beginning of the year, his relationship with Shenyang Jinde was not pleasant due to contract issues, which caused him to have great obstacles in studying abroad, which can even be said to be the biggest obstacle among everyone. …… It is said that once a person has a clear goal, his whole spirit will change. This is deeply reflected in the national youth players! When everyone regards studying abroad as their goal, they will have a deep understanding of it. It is not easy to study abroad, otherwise the number of domestic players studying abroad would not be so small. Limited by the level of the Chinese Super League, European scouts rarely pay attention to the Chinese Super League. If they want to attract the attention of European teams, they must seize the opportunity of this World Youth Championship. Playing a good game on the international stage in Europe is far more important than playing ten good games in your own domestic league. Therefore, almost everyone is working hard to perform well in the next game, prove their strength and value, in order to impress their future employers. The national youth players' enthusiastic training attitude made the coaches very confused: "Could it be that Mr. Ke's vacation is really so magical? How come the players have changed so much after going out for a day?" Several Chinese coaches gathered together, whispering. Not to mention that they were confused, even Krauchen himself was a little confused: How did these guys become so diligent and hardworking and so full of energy? If you can’t figure it out, just forget about it. At least this transformation of the players is a good thing, isn’t it? …… Four days flew by. The day of the match between the Chinese National Youth Team and the Brazilian Team will soon arrive. Compared with the previous game against Germany, more Chinese fans came to watch the game. The entire stand was almost completely covered in red, and Chinese people waving the five-star red flag could be seen everywhere in the stands. In China, the game started at nearly three o'clock in the morning. However, there were still countless fans with dark circles under their eyes, yawning, and trying hard to resist sleepiness, sitting in front of the TV, waiting to watch this crucial game. Although everyone knows that the Chinese National Youth Team has little hope of defeating the powerful Brazilian team.
But they still chose to stand firmly on the side of the National Youth Team and accompany them to the end. "Chinese team!" "come on!" "Chinese team!" "come on!" Seeing the national youth team players enter the field, the fans in the stands, led by a burly man, cheered in unison. This majestic voice immediately attracted the attention of players from both sides. "Oh my god! Why are there so many people here?" "This treatment is almost as good as that of the national team!" The national youth team players were shocked and excited. They had never enjoyed such treatment before. “I wonder if they’ll curse even louder than this when we lose the game later!” "But shut up!" I don't know who was so rude, but his words made everyone laugh. After laughing, everyone's eyes became determined. Even for the sake of the fans who support them, they have to give it their all in this game and fight with the Samba people! The Brazilian team on the sidelines was also surprised by the commotion in the stands, but this only aroused their contempt even more. What grade? Do you dare to dream of defeating my powerful Samba football? A football desert should look like a football desert! As the absolute king of football in this era, the name of the Brazilian team alone is extremely intimidating. If it were in the past, these young players of the National Youth Team would probably have been afraid of three-pointers before the game even started. But this time it was obviously different. The people were energized and looked at the Brazilian players with no fear in their eyes, only a strong desire to fight. Even if the king of heaven comes today, I will break a few of his front teeth at all costs! At 20:30, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. In the quarter-finals of the 2005 World Youth Championship, the match between the Chinese National Youth Team and the Brazilian Team officially kicked off. (End of this chapter)
