Chapter 326 The Key to the Decisive Battle

The new contract between Millwall Club and Zhang Yang has already been negotiated.

Millwall gave a guaranteed contract, which can guarantee that as long as Zhang Yang does not leave voluntarily, he can get all the salary stipulated in the contract.

The contract period is three years.

Three years is a very strange number of years. Most head coach contracts are four years, and player contracts are four or five years. Three years seems a bit awkward.

In fact, the Millwall club initially proposed four years, but Zhang Yang is more concerned about the salary of each year. The Millwall club cannot accept high salaries and long tenures. They need to take great risks, such as poor results next season. If the club fires Zhang Yang, they will have to pay all the remaining salary. The risk is too great.

The two parties only finalized the three-year contract, and the focus of the dispute was the 'salary' of 240 million pounds, but it increased by 20.00% every year. In the third year, they could get 360 million pounds. The total salary of the three-year contract was 900 million pounds.

This salary level is definitely the top in the world, higher than most coaches.

However, compared with 'competitors', there is still a gap in contract salary. For example, Chelsea coach Mourinho has an annual salary of more than 500 million pounds. Level, but in fact, the two are not comparable at all.

Ferguson and Wenger all got the top contracts, and their salary is only a part of their income. Their actual income is linked to the club's income that year.

Many media have stated that Mourinho is the head coach with the highest income. In fact, Ferguson and Wenger are the ones with the highest income. They are like members of the club's board of directors and can directly share the club's income for the year.

This is the treatment of a real top coach.

Of course, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are both old-fashioned head coaches. They have coached their respective clubs for more than ten years, so they will naturally enjoy better treatment. It's only been a year and a half, and it's pretty good to get a salary of this level.

This is already more than five times higher than the previous contract and salary.

An average of 300 million pounds per year is only the salary stipulated in the contract to lead the team. Zhang Yang pays more attention to bonuses. The new contract stipulates many bonus items linked to performance.

First of all, the bonus of the Premier League champion is 100 million pounds, which is the same as the previous contract, and the bonus amount of the Premier League top four is 20 pounds.

The FA Cup winner is £30.

The League Cup winner is £[-].

The most important thing is the regulations of European competitions. As long as Zhang Yang can lead the team to the Champions League final, the bonus will reach 500 million pounds, and only 200 million pounds will be awarded to the semi-finals.

During the negotiation, Andy struggled to get the bonus stipulations. Perhaps it was also because both Ebenezer and Wilkinson were confident in Zhang Yang's leadership. The regulations are almost equivalent to sending money. With Millwall's situation this season, coupled with the summer transfer to strengthen its strength, there is still great hope of winning the semi-finals.

The bonus rules of the Champions League are the easiest to talk about.

When Andy proposed that the Champions League title cost £500 million, Ebenezer hadn't spoken yet, and Wilkinson made a decision directly, "No problem, it's decided like this!"

Ebenezer also nodded.

They don't think that Millwall will do anything in the Champions League.

In fact, this is a normal thought.

Millwall has not performed in European competitions since its history. For example, in 2003, Millwall entered the UEFA Cup with the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and was directly eliminated in the qualifying stage.

Millwall is not what it used to be, but it can only be a start-up team without any experience in European wars, and it cannot be compared with the top European giants. It is easy to get good results, and Arsenal is "lose in the European game". In contrast, in recent years, only Liverpool, which has not performed well in the league, has won the Champions League.

So the European competition and the league are two different things.

Both Wilkinson and Ebenezer have confidence in the league results led by Zhang Yang, but it is difficult to say what results they can get in the European arena.

However, the signing of the European War bonus clause is still not harmful to the club.

If Millwall can really enter the Champions League final, the income created for the club will definitely be calculated in tens of millions of pounds. In comparison, 500 million pounds is nothing. It is only natural to pay some bonuses for results that exceed expectations.

Zhang Yang was very satisfied with this.

Regardless of the results of the European War, at least the club has a bonus statement, and the huge bonus is still very attractive.

Zhang Yang signed the contract with the club that day.

Afterwards, the official website of the Millwall club announced the news, and a press conference was officially held at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, announcing that Zhang Yang had signed a new contract with the club.

There are many reporters who come to interview.

A lot of media are paying attention to the Millwall club. One is that the Millwall club has won the league championship, and the other is that the club’s senior management has undergone major changes. It is hard to say whether it will affect Zhang Yang’s coaching position. Recently, it has been rumored that Zhang Yang may leave Millwall. Wall's news.

Now that Zhang Yang has officially signed a new contract, next season will definitely be guaranteed.

At the press conference, Zhang Yang said that he would work hard to lead the team and strive for good results and other nonsense. He also briefly said that Millwall is working hard to prepare for the FA Cup final and looks forward to another championship at the end of the season.

Then a reporter asked about the next round of the league, "Will Millwall give his all?"

This is a very 'pit' problem.

If a rookie finds out that the team has won the championship, they may say 'we will send a substitute team', and then the media will say 'Millwall doesn't respect the league' or 'Millwall should have a fair game. Spirit' and the like.

In short, it cannot be answered that way.

Zhang Yang smiled and replied, "Of course we will do our best. In fact, the team has been preparing for the next game. Three league games, one FA Cup, each game is very important. We treat every Every game, you will give your best, and the players who will play will be very serious."

This answer is pretty standard.

It was difficult for the media reporters to say anything, so they asked the club to reveal the details of the new contract. Unfortunately, the content of the contract is confidential and it is impossible to show it to the reporters.

The media are still very smart.

Although they did not get a first-hand contract, the "Times" disclosed that night that Millwall gave Zhang Yang a contract with an average annual salary of 300 million pounds.

They said for sure.

This news also attracted attention for a while, and many media reports began to say sourly, "Zhang Yang is not yet 30 years old, and his annual salary has reached 300 million pounds."

The Internet is also full of excitement. Many netizens said that Zhang Yang is a standard diamond king——
"His salary is higher than that of top coaches!"

"His reputation has surpassed most top coaches!"

"Not only is he famous and earns a lot of money, the key point is that he is under 23 years old!"

"Maybe he will become the most popular football player among female stars!"

"Based on the aesthetics of East Asians, he is still very handsome and handsome!"

"..."

Seeing the last sentence, Zhang Yang almost spit out his mouth, "The aesthetics of East Asians? No! According to the aesthetics of the whole world, brother is extremely handsome! Otherwise, why would there be so many beauties obsessed with brother?"

After being intoxicated with himself for a long time, Zhang Yang looked at the seven-figure account balance happily, and his mood suddenly became extremely refreshing.

The club has given out bonuses!
After signing the new contract, Wilkinson simply distributed the league championship bonus to Zhang Yang. The previous contract stipulated that if he won the Premier League championship, he could get 100 million pounds, which also allowed Zhang Yang to get rid of the "poverty line" in one fell swoop. Step into the ranks of the rich.

In the past season, Zhang Yang's salary and bonus did not amount to 100 million pounds. It is still very refreshing to get such a bonus in one go.

"Finally rich!" Zhang Yang's financial situation is actually not that great. After buying the house, he felt a bit like a house slave. Half of his salary was used to pay the loan, which was returned to Denise's company. After injecting some investment, his personal living expenses are the least.

For example, some rich coaches and football stars wear and use luxury goods. Dressing up means spending a lot of money, various living expenses, plus nightlife expenses, etc., especially single stars, and then' If you have a girlfriend, your consumption will be relatively high, and if you have a family, you will not be able to lower your consumption. Every item of consumption for your wife and children is relatively high-end.

In the professional football circle, Zhang Yang is the most frugal.His life is the same as that of ordinary people. He will have breakfast and lunch in the club restaurant, and sometimes even choose to eat in the club for dinner.

In the past year, Zhang Yang's living expenses were not enough to exceed 100 pounds. With this standard of living, [-] million pounds was enough for him to live for a lifetime.

"Do you want to spend some extravagance during your vacation? Go to Hawaii? Las Vegas? Or somewhere else?" Zhang Yang thought about it carefully and fell asleep.

By the next day, thinking about where to spend was thrown out of the blue.

Millwall has entered the normal preparation track. Their preparations are aimed at the FA Cup final, which is their opponent Liverpool. The three league games are not considered at all.

Three days later, Millwall ushered in a league match against Liverpool. The game was highly anticipated. The media believed that the game would be a preview of the FA Cup final, because Millwall is home and Liverpool needs to stabilize the league. Points ranking, losing the game is likely to be surpassed by competitors.

Will both teams give their all?

I don’t know what criteria the media’s judgment is based on, but as soon as the players of the two teams played, most people knew that Millwall didn’t take the game seriously at all. Most of the lineup were substitute players, not to mention Jamie Wall. Dee, Curtis Weston, and even Neil Harris, Peter Swiley and other players all got the chance to start.

Zhang Yang didn't think about the last three league rounds at all.He regards these three league games as a game where players who have played few games can also win championship medals, so players who have played twice or more in the league have the opportunity to start. After five games, they will be able to receive a championship medal.

Most of these players will leave in the summer, but after all, they are the heroes of the team. After the team wins the championship, they can't even receive a commemorative championship medal, which is really unreasonable.

So they have a chance.

As for the outcome?

Millwall has won the league title!
Zhang Yang's approach made many players feel grateful. They knew that they would definitely leave, but they could get the championship medal before leaving, and it was enough to show off to the moody team. As a souvenir, many players are thinking that when they leave in the summer transfer, they must strive for the highest transfer fee for the club.

This is all they can do.

Zhang Yang doesn't know what the players think, even if he knows, it doesn't matter, so he can fight for the highest transfer fee for the club?
That has nothing to do with him.

Anyway, the extra money in the end is also the finance of the club, he can get as much as he should, and the club will not pay a penny more in salary.

Although Millwall didn't care about winning or losing, Zhang Yang seemed very serious during the game.

He has been watching Liverpool's attack and defense.

The media said that the game was a preview of the FA Cup, but it was actually partly justified. At least Millwall could observe opponents and gain experience from it.

Liverpool's defensive lineup is difficult to rank among the Premier League teams, but their defensive stability is definitely one of the best, and can be compared with Chelsea.

This is not just praise, but real data.

Liverpool's number of goals conceded ranks third in the league, No.1 is Chelsea, No.2 is Millwall, and Liverpool is No.3.

Chelsea's defense needless to say, in most of the games, they did not concede a goal.

Millwall relied on victory. They won most of the games and took defense very seriously. Perhaps the more important reason is that many goals were "predicted" in advance by Zhang Yang, and in the end they never happened. The number of goals conceded will naturally be much less.

Liverpool conceded only four more goals than Chelsea. In the past 35 rounds of the league, four goals are nothing at all.

This is enough to show Liverpool's defensive ability.

In the FA Cup final between Millwall and Liverpool, the focus of winning is still how to break through Liverpool's defense.

Zhang Yang has some methods, such as relying on Josh Simpson's set ball, relying on David Livermore's long shot, or relying on Darren Bent to play in front of the goal.The three players have their own means and characteristics, but to break through Liverpool's goal, the cooperation of other players is also very important. Liverpool will not foul in dangerous positions. It is also difficult for Livermore to kick in a good position. Darren Bent It will definitely become the object of the opponent's key defense.

So in what way, to create more opportunities?
Zhang Yang thought about it.
