207. Ignored Women's Football
Klose did not understand some words and spoke slowly. Wen Sheng felt that Klose's English level was probably about the same as Kante's, so that's okay.
Kanter has been with the team for more than a year, and his English has improved quite well, but he doesn't like to speak much and is a boring person.
Klose is quite interested in the team's atmosphere. He spent his entire career in Germany and has never been abroad. It is understandable that he has concerns about the new environment.
"What do you think of me as a person? Am I easy to get along with?!" Wen Sheng asked Klose with a smile.
How do I know if you are easy to get along with? This is the first time we meet, okay?! Klose was stunned and secretly complained.
But thinking about it again, Wen Sheng had a good impression on him, and he felt that Wen Sheng should be easy to get along with.
"I guess you are a coach who is easy to get along with!"
"Haha, I hope we can get along happily if we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. I think I am a head coach who is easy to get along with. I may be strict in training sometimes, but in life at least everyone thinks I am pretty good." Wen Sheng
smiled.
"As for the team, as I said before, we are a young team, the guys are very young, and the older players Julian Speroni, Sean Derry and Stuart Taylor are actually very good.
get along."
"You have a huge reputation in world football. I think many young men are your admirers. I think you will get along very happily with them."
Wen Sheng also told Klose some interesting stories about the team.
"It is said that there is a tradition of singing in the locker room! Damn, I don't remember such a tradition, but this summer the newlyweds need to sing during the dinner party! So, Mino, if you choose to join us, I think the most urgent thing is
It’s not about scoring goals, it’s about picking a fucking song that you want to sing!”
Klose smiled happily, singing and playing cards. This kind of thing can also be done at Bayern Munich. This can be regarded as a way to integrate into the team.
"I know my players have a dinner party every month! It's okay not to participate. Unless there are special circumstances, you will be fined! You know!" Wen Sheng raised his eyebrows at Klose.
"I would say, you should really go abroad and try it. Now that you are not young, you can really experience other styles of football. If you don't go to England, you can go to Spain or Italy. In short, you should enjoy football!
It's not your job!"
"One day when you are old, you will definitely not regret having walked out!"
Wen Sheng talked slowly and slowly, but Klose was careful and could basically understand what Wen Sheng said.
Morelli and Schutte chatted for more than half an hour before they came back. They all had lunch together. Wen Sheng said that he had never been to Munich, and Schutte introduced Munich to the two London visitors.
After lunch, it was almost time for Wen Sheng, Schutte and Klose to say goodbye and head to the airport.
On the way to the airport, Wen Sheng asked Morelli how the conversation went.
In the previous contacts, Morelli wanted to talk to Schutte, but in fact, Schutte didn't say no or yes each time. He just blamed Klose. We didn't say a word about the contract before.
Didn't even talk about it.
"He wants to get a three-year contract for Klose, but for three years, I think we can accept one contract per year. Three years is too long."
Wen Sheng frowned. In the memory of his previous life, Klose arrived at Lazio and played many games every season. But now it is different from his previous life. How can Wen Sheng guarantee that Klose will not have serious injuries?
.
If Klose is injured too much, it will definitely not be worthwhile for the club to sign him for three years.
But you have to understand people's feelings. Schutte will definitely argue that Klose can leave Munich for free, but Morelli will definitely not give in easily.
"No matter how poor Arsenal are, they are still richer than us. Wenger also adopts a one-sign-a-year model. How can we, who are short of money and weak, dare to do that?!"
What Morelli said is true. The contracts of the two veterans, Deli and Speroni, of the team's captains and vice-captains will expire at the end of June 2012. They will definitely not sign every two years by then.
"What is their salary requirement?" Wen Sheng asked Morelli.
"Schute demands an annual salary of 5 million pounds! And no rewards." Morelli was not angry, but a little helpless.
Klose's salary income is top-notch at Bayern Munich.
Morelli found out that it was 7 million euros, plus a bonus of 2 million euros.
This salary is quite high not only in Germany but also in the world. If he doesn't cut his salary, Crystal Palace will never even think about it. That's impossible.
Wen Sheng currently has the highest salary, which is just over one million. Plus bonuses, it may be around 1.5 million.
Klose's 5 million pounds is already several levels better than him.
Of course, both Germany and England say that before tax, Klose's salary is more than two million pounds, which is still high.
Calculating the weekly salary, Schutte is seeking a weekly salary of about 100,000 pounds, which is definitely higher than Manchester United.
Morelli felt that this matter might be difficult to accomplish because the gap between everyone was too big. He imagined that Klose's salary would be 3 million pounds, and a weekly salary of 60,000 pounds would be enough. Now it seems that everyone is very different.
"The key to this matter is not the salary, but Klose's own attitude. If he can be convinced by my words, I think he still has a good chance!" Wen Sheng thought for a while and said to Morelli.
"But we definitely need to be prepared with both hands and try to contact other players' agents! If Klose comes in the winter window, of course this is a good thing, but if he doesn't come, we must also introduce a new forward!"
Morelli nodded, then joked: "It seems that Allen Lee is not what you want!"
"After so many games and he hasn't scored a single goal, how can you expect me to trust him?!" Alan Lee is a good comrade, obedient and honest, but damn, that alone isn't enough, you still have to score goals.
It’s just a matter of time. You can’t keep scoreless, right?!
"If this is the case, how about letting him leave?!" Morelli suddenly had an idea.
Wen Sheng almost blasted him, "Damn it, you really don't look at the current situation?! Damn, I only have two centers. One is injured and doesn't take care of himself, and the other doesn't score goals. What else do you want?"
Sale?! Tell me who I will send on stage?!"
Morelli quickly explained, "I was just fucking kidding! If you don't agree, how dare I sell your striker! Besides, it's not like I don't know the team's situation!"
Tsk, who believes what you say? Wen Sheng thought to himself that there will always be a price they can't refuse, and then my opinion will be nothing!
Alas, I can only hope that this day comes later!
…..
After returning from Germany, the team held a Christmas party the next night. This time the party was much smaller, limited to the club and some famous players from the team.
But tonight is a bit special. Parrish invited the girls from the women's soccer team to participate in team activities for the first time.
The Crystal Palace Club established a women's football team in 1992 and operated it independently. The women's football game had little excitement and not many people watched it. Many of the players were simply amateurs. Parrish had just taken over at that time, and the women's football team was simply ignored.
I don’t know when this old boy finally remembered, oh, we also have a women’s football team.
The Christmas party finally invited the women's football team. Of course, the women's football players were used to being ignored. Carlton didn't take them seriously, and Simon Jordan didn't take them seriously either.
It's okay for Parish to say this. In his speech, he also specifically mentioned the women's football team, calling them heroines and an integral part of Crystal Palace.
As the head coach of the first team and the number two person in actual management of the team, Wen Sheng should naturally say something encouraging to everyone as the New Year arrives.
He doesn't like to watch women's football, and he doesn't even have the slightest interest in it, but it's wrong to say such things in this situation. Besides, the spirit of the women's football girls is worth learning.
