Fox in the Penalty Area

"Old Wang, the club did not agree to our conditions."

Before leaving for Jincheng, Wang Xianke received a call from his agent Tang Youwei at the airport about the latest progress of their contract renewal with Dashun Golden Arrow.

When Dashun Golden Arrow poached Wang Xianke from Shanhai Sailor, the contract he signed was for four years. Now that three years are almost over, there is still one year left in the contract.

Naturally, the two sides will negotiate a contract extension.

After all, Wang Xianke has done a good job in Dashun Golden Arrow, and the contract renewal is normal.

Negotiations on contract renewal have actually started long ago, but Wang Xianke's annual salary requirements are very high. He offered an annual salary of 14 million in the new contract.

Originally, his annual salary of RMB 8 million was already the highest record among local coaches in the Chinese Super League, and now he wants to significantly break this record held by himself.

Although the annual salary of 14 million yuan is still not as good as those foreign coaches—after all, the foreign coaches all change the currency behind this number from RMB to euro—but among the local coaches in Chinese football, this figure It's enough to make people dumbfounded.

He seems to be using this method to declare that he is the well-deserved number one among Chinese local coaches. At the same time, he also implicitly told the Football Association that if you consider finding a local head coach for the Chinese national team, then I, Wang Xianke, are the best for you s Choice!

But this number is far beyond the psychological tolerance of Dashun Golden Arrow Club.

Originally, in order to recruit Wang Xianke, the annual salary of 8 million was already the highest record among local head coaches, and it greatly exceeded the annual salary level of other local head coaches. It stands to reason that even if the contract is renewed without a salary increase, the 8 million yuan is still a sky-high annual salary-up to now, there are still local head coaches in the Chinese Super League whose annual salary is not even 1 million yuan...

Of course, Wang Xianke led the team to the league championship and helped Dashun football return to its former position. It seems unreasonable to renew the contract without raising the salary.

Therefore, the Dashun Golden Arrow Club originally planned to raise Wang Xianke to 10 million yuan, making him the first local head coach with an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan in Chinese football history.

Who would have thought that Wang Xianke's annual salary would be 14 million without discount.

This makes it impossible to continue talking.

The club is going to deal with it coldly, let it go for a while.

Wang Xianke was not in a hurry at that time. At that time, the team's defending situation was good. He planned to wait for himself to lead the team to successfully defend the title and win two consecutive Chinese Super League titles before coming to talk with the club.

At that time, with the two consecutive Chinese Super League titles in his hand, he does not believe that the club will not agree to his conditions.

Who would have thought that the cooked duck flew away at last... the league championship was snatched away by the South China Tigers.

Wang Xianke immediately lost his biggest trump card in negotiating a contract extension with the club.

Otherwise, why was he so angry after the team lost to Hedong Thunder in an away game? Roaring and scolding the players in the locker room for half an hour, he was even late for the post-match press conference, and asked all the reporters to wait for him to finish scolding the players before going to the meeting.

Because he lost six million a year!

Fortunately, in addition to the league, Dashun Golden Arrow also reached the FA Cup final.

When it was determined that the opponent in the FA Cup final was a Chinese Premier League team, Wang Xianke even dreamed of a double crown, planning to use the limelight of the double crown to open his mouth to the club Lions. He is not afraid that the club agrees, and if he does not agree, he will quit. Anyway, many teams in the Chinese Super League now definitely want to coach by himself and bring them championships.

As a result, the league championship is now lost, and the FA Cup championship immediately became the last straw.

Wang Xianke didn't even think about the lion's big opening, he just wanted to keep his annual salary of 14 million.

After losing the league championship, the Golden Arrow Club re-opened a contract for him. Nothing in the contract has changed, except for the contract period.

Obviously no league title,

The club is not happy. They expressed their dissatisfaction in this way, and at the same time, they also had the confidence to offer Wang Xianke such a condition that nothing had changed.

Wang Xianke asked his agent Tang Youwei to reject the contract. Of course, he did not continue to insist on his own conditions. After all, without the league championship, the most important bargaining chip he could use was missing, and he could not continue to be tough.

The new condition he offered was that he could accept an annual salary of 8 million, but he asked for a championship bonus of 6 million: as long as he can lead the team to win the Chinese Super League next season, his annual income will actually be 14 million .

He said that this can motivate himself and the team, and the club has nothing to lose-if he can't lead the team to win the championship, then he doesn't need to give the 6 million bonus, which is actually the same as the contract conditions proposed by the club.

But even if he had made concessions to this extent, Dashun Golden Arrow Club still did not agree.

Manager Tang Youwei called to tell him the result.

"It's okay, Old Tang. After I win the FA Cup, I'll come back and talk to them slowly." Wang Xianke didn't care much about the bad news, he already had his own plan.

champion.

In competitive sports, only the champion is the "truth".

He Wang Xianke has always paid attention to convincing people with reason.

At that time, let him bring the FA Cup champion to ask Xue Chaoyu to bow his head!

He will put forward new conditions, it is not as simple as an annual salary of 8 million plus a bonus of 6 million for winning the championship...

"Tomorrow is the second round of the FA Cup final. Hu Lai, what are your expectations for this game? Many people outside the world are saying that Flash Star will lose, and there is no need to work too hard in this game. There are many Fans are more concerned about how many goals you can score in the Chinese League One this season... So what do you think?"

A CCTV female reporter was standing on the sidelines of the Provincial Sports Center in Jincheng, interviewing Hu Lai.

At this time, the Flash Star players had just finished their training to get used to the field, and the other players returned to the locker room. Only two Flash Star players were left for interviews, one was Chen Xingyi, and the other was Hu Lai.

Chen Xingyi had just finished the interview and was waiting for him to go back to the locker room together.

Faced with this question, Hu Lai answered very simply: "I don't think about how many goals I score in the Chinese League One. This game is the FA Cup final... I don't care what others think, but my goals are There is only one, and that is to defeat the Golden Arrow and win the FA Cup!"

The CCTV female reporter was surprised by Hu Lai's decisive answer.

Hu Lai's words were hard and loud, but they didn't fit his previous image.

The female reporter would say something with a smile, and even if he said he wanted to win the championship, he would add a gentle smile after he finished speaking.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai said these words almost murderously.

"But your opponent Dashun Golden Arrow is the Chinese Super League..." The female reporter couldn't help laughing, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"We've gone all the way, reached the final, and already eliminated two Chinese Super League teams." Hu Lai interrupted her unceremoniously.

Let the female reporter confirm again that Hu Lai seems to be... very murderous today.

Such Hu Lai made her feel strange, and even a little... scared. So she hurriedly ended the interview and wished Holly and Shining the best of luck.

In her opinion, they really need good luck to achieve what Hu Lai said.

※※※

"I'm relying on Hu Lai, you've let you out of the limelight... If I had known earlier, I would have said that my goal was to win the championship." On the way back to the locker room together, Chen Xingyi regretted it.

The reporter also asked him the same question just now, asking him what his vision for the final was, and he honestly said that he would go all out in the game, did not dare to mention his relationship with Dashun Golden Arrow, and did not say anything Harsh words.

As a result, Hu Lai declared that the goal was the championship so straightforwardly that the female reporter's eyes widened in shock.

Chen Xingyi regretted it at the time, he was the one who asked first... In the end, he gave Hu Lai such a good opportunity to act aggressive!

"Hehe, after you say that, little Xingxing, are you not afraid that Wang Xianke will wear small shoes when the lease is over?" Hu Lai sneered.

"Director Wang's temper is a bit grumpy, but he shouldn't be so narrow-minded, right? Besides... oh, I haven't told you yet, have I? My dad has already settled the matter of renewing the lease, so I will stay next season. In Flash Star, I will rent it for another year."

Hu Lai turned to look at Chen Xingyi with some surprise: "Can the golden arrow agree to let you come?"

"It is said that Shining Star went directly to the goal of buying me out at the beginning, but Golden Arrow disagreed. Shining Star gave the next best thing, and said that it would be rented, and Golden Arrow agreed after asking for a rental fee. After this season's matches, the two clubs will announce it." Chen Xingyi said.

These details were also told to him by his father.

"Oh, that's a good thing. Let's play the AFC Champions League together!" Hu Lai said.

"Haha, okay, no problem..." Chen Xingyi stopped after laughing twice. He stared at Hu Lai with wide eyes: "What did you just say? Playing in the AFC Champions League?"

"Yeah, the FA Cup champion is also eligible to participate in the AFC Champions League, you don't know, little star?"

"Of course I know... No, you are so sure that we can win the FA Cup?"

"Yeah, or do you think I was joking to that reporter just now? We worked so hard just to win an excuse of 'go all out and have no regrets'? Or did you say that after the first round, Are you lying to Director Zhao?" Hu Lai looked at Chen Xingyi and asked repeatedly.

His eyes made the latter a little uncomfortable. He avoided Hu Lai's gaze, and then retorted: "Who said we were lying? Of course we want to win. It's just that football is round, Hu Lai..."

"So what?" Hu Lai snorted.

Just when Chen Xingyi was going to ask him what happened, he saw a person walking at the end of the passage ahead, telling him to shut up.

The person who came was Wang Xianke, the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrow. After the flashing star finished training, the players of Dashun Golden Arrow also came to the field for adaptation training, and their head coach did not stay in the locker room Instead, they walked out, so the two sides met in the corridor.

Wang Xianke also saw two people, his eyes stopped on Hu Lai, and then turned to Chen Xingyi who was next to him.

"I agree with the club to continue renting you to Xingxing for one season. I have seen your performance in Xingxing this season. It is not bad, but you must continue to work hard, so let you continue to rent for another year." Wang Xianke told Chen Xingyi Said, "Don't have any psychological burden for tomorrow's game, try your best to play."

Chen Xingyi nodded quickly with his head down: "I see, Director Wang, I will do my best..."

"very good."

Wang Xianke didn't say anything more, just nodded and walked past the two of them.

When his back was facing the two of them, his brows wrinkled again.

After seeing him, Hu Lixin's son seemed to be fine. Maybe that coward Hu Lixin didn't tell his family what happened to him back then, otherwise his son shouldn't be so calm after seeing me...

Wang Xianke thought in his heart.

※※※

Hu Lai withdrew his gaze from staring at Wang Xianke's back, and continued walking to the home team's locker room with Chen Xingyi.

"Hey, little Xingxing, what kind of coach is Director Wang?" He asked casually on the way. "How do I think you didn't even dare to say anything when you met him?"

"After being scolded by him for a year, I have psychological shadows..." Chen Xingyi smiled wryly. "Director Wang is a very, very strict person. It can be said to be two extremes with our Director Zhao. You can play tricks in front of Director Zhao, but if you dare to try it in front of Director Wang? Blow your dog head! Just drive you to the reserve team to reflect, let you figure out who is the boss of this team before you come back..."

Hu Lai was speechless: "So exaggerated?"

"No exaggeration. He attaches great importance to the authority of the head coach and does not allow anyone to challenge his majesty. Let me give you an example-he requires all our players to stand shoulder-width apart when listening to him in training. , put your hands behind your back, look up at him with your chest up... otherwise you will disrespect him."

"Damn, what a pervert!" Hu Lai scolded.

"Well, you can't say that...he just wants to cultivate the team's order and prohibition style. Of course, sometimes it is too much. But the results speak for themselves, so there is nothing to say."

Hu Lai curled his lips: "It's not like he is the only one who can win the championship. Otherwise, how did the Golden Arrows lose the league championship this season? Of course, they will soon lose the FA Cup championship! And you, little Xingxing, you Great, you will become the only player of the Golden Arrows who has won the league title and the FA Cup double!"

"It's the first time I heard that the 'Double Champion' is the champion of the Chinese Premier League and the FA Cup..."

"Why? Look down on the Chinese League One? Let me tell you that Brother Lin came to play in the Chinese Super League!"

"No, brother, you have the final say..."

"...This afternoon, the Chinese Super League runner-up Dashun Golden Arrow team, who just arrived in Jincheng, conducted training to adapt to the venue at the Jincheng Provincial Sports Center..."

With the voice of the announcer, the picture of Dashun Golden Arrows training appeared on the TV screen, and then the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrows, Wang Xianke, appeared on the screen.

At the same time, the announcer said: "On the sidelines, the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrows, Director Wang Xianke, accepted our interview and talked about the upcoming second round of the final. Although he is already leading by two goals, Wang Xianke is still very cautious. , he said..."

"This idiot is Wang Xianke..."

Xie Lan in front of the TV couldn't help cursing.

In fact, during the first round of the finals, she had seen this face more than once in the game broadcast screen. But at that time, she didn't know what the owner of this face had done to her husband, so she just saw it after seeing it, and didn't remember it at all.

But now, she was staring at the TV screen, trying to imprint this face firmly in her mind.

"Yes." Hu Lixin, who was sitting next to her, replied while watching the TV.

"It's not a good thing at first glance. Look at his pair of triangular eyes, look at his sloppy mouth, and..." Xie Lan pointed at Wang Xianke on the screen and cursed.

But Hu Lixin couldn't stop: "Okay, it's no use scolding him here."

"It's useless, I'm going to vent my anger! HE——TUI!"

Seeing his wife really spit on the TV, Hu Lixin was startled: "Calm down! When he leads the team to win against your son tomorrow, why don't you smash the TV? So let's not watch it tomorrow." Is there a match?"

Xie Lan glared at him: "Look! Why don't you watch it? Who told you that our son will definitely lose? I'll tell you Hu Lixin, you must stand firmly by our son's side at this time, absolutely not allowed Talking nonsense that aggravates other people's aspirations and destroys one's own prestige!"

"The strength gap between the two sides is so big, and the total score is still two goals behind... Do you really think that a comeback is as easy as treating guests to dinner?"

Xie Lan waved his hand and said domineeringly: "Don't tell me so much, I don't understand football, I only know one thing, this game must win, Wang Xianke must die!"

Hu Lixin opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more, but just as he opened his mouth, he closed it again when he saw his wife's fierce eyes.
