After Guardiola’s little essay, the Manchester City players, who were temporarily beaten, began to focus more on on-field training.

At the end of the afternoon training, a rare big man appeared on the sidelines of the training ground: Mansour, the manager of Manchester City.

After Mansour and Guardiola exchanged a few words, Guardiola stopped the training and gathered all the Manchester City players on the training ground.

Mansour came to the assembled team and explained his purpose of coming today:

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's training. I heard that after yesterday's draw, the unfavorable draw results affected the team's training."

"This made me very worried, so I rushed over from London as soon as I received the notice.

I am not saying this to blame you.

I couldn't help but say a few curse words after hearing the lottery results! I was thinking at the time, why are we so unlucky every year?

But the result of the draw is already determined, and we have no way to change it. What we need now is for you to have the courage to face it.

And I’m here to cheer you up!”

"As for how to cheer you up, all I can give you is monetary rewards.

When you signed the contract when you came to Manchester City, you have clearly written down the monetary rewards that Manchester City will give you when you win which championship and which personal honor."

"For example, in the Champions League, I remember that for the core players in the team, everyone's bonus for winning the Champions League was one million euros!

Players at the next level have championship bonuses ranging from 500,000 to 750,000 euros.

Each substitute player will receive at least 200,000 euros in winning bonuses!"

"These are the rewards written into the contract. In addition, as long as you can win the championship, the club will distribute all the championship bonus of 15 million euros to you. The club will not take any penny of the championship bonus!

”

"Not only that, I have also prepared a staged reward for you. If you can emerge as the first place in Group E, you will each receive a bonus of 100,000 euros at the end of the season.

Each of the top eight will receive a bonus of 150,000 euros, each of the top four will receive a bonus of 250,000 euros, and each person in the final will receive a bonus of 500,000 euros regardless of winning or losing!"

"My secretary will re-sign with you later. I have brought the text of the bonus contract I just mentioned. I hope everyone can achieve the best results in the Champions League this season."

After finishing speaking, Mansour looked at the Manchester City players who were energized by the generous bonuses, smiled slightly, turned around and left the training ground as if in a hurry, leaving his personal secretary to handle the follow-up matters.

After Mansour left, Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano and Chief Operating Officer Omar Berada, who arrived with Mansour, began to cooperate with Mansour's secretary to sign contracts with the players.

After all the contracts were signed, Manchester City sports director Begiristain, who arrived later, seemed a little distressed:

"Phelan, if we can win the championship this year, we will have to give out close to 40 million euros in bonuses alone. This will be given to the players, and the coaching staff will probably have tens of millions of euros in total.

This money is enough to buy another excellent main player!"

Before Ferran Soriano said anything, Chief Operating Officer Omar Berrada waved his hand at the somewhat petty Begiristain:

"Our boss is not short of money, he is short of championships and honors!

As long as you can win the Champions League, it will be worth spending no matter how much money you spend!

What's more, the boss won't treat us badly after winning the championship!"

"I know, I know, our boss is not short of money, but Manchester City is a little short of money now. I just want to save more money to buy people!"

Now because of the Financial Fair Play Act, the Premier League has begun an investigation into Manchester City.

The Premier League determined that Manchester City had violated league financial rules in consecutive seasons since the 2009-2010 season.

This includes failure to provide accurate information about the club's income, operating expenses, sponsorship, etc.; failure to provide detailed details of income in coaches and player contracts; failure to comply with UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules, etc.

Under such circumstances, if Manchester City still wants to make big purchases in the future, if they still rely solely on Mansour's blood transfusion, I am afraid it will become more and more difficult.

Therefore, Begiristan raised some objections to the three forms of superimposed championship rewards.

"Guardiola also asks me to change defenders every day, buy a defensive midfielder, and even wants to buy a tactical center. Our funds behind the scenes may be a little tight."

"Begiristan, you just need to prepare a plan to buy people. Money is what I consider."

Chief Operating Officer Omar Berrada interrupted Begiristain.

"This year's Champions League bonuses have increased significantly. The "basic bonus" for the championship team has reached 54.5 million euros, an increase of 46%!

Moreover, BT Sports reached an agreement with UEFA at a high price of 897 million pounds to purchase the UK live broadcast rights for the Champions League and Europa League for three seasons starting from 2015.

The contract amount is more than twice the current contract between Sky Sports and UEFA!

Therefore, the bonus pool of the Premier League teams in the European competition, which is commonly known as the marketpool, has increased significantly, which means that the Premier League's income from playing in the European competition has increased sharply.

As long as we enter the knockout rounds, we will receive at least 40 million euros in broadcast fees, and if we win the championship, the bonus will reach 105 million euros!

Not to mention other incidental income, such as: if you include game day ticket income, sponsor bonuses and other income, etc., it will be even more amazing!

And except for the stage-based rewards, the rest are only issued after winning the championship. For our income after winning the championship, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Even if it is a staged reward, the basic bonus for each step forward in the Champions League will be greatly increased. We just make a little less than before, but if the team cannot advance, then we will not get any money!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Moreover, when the team enters the finals, the bonus is only 10 million euros, and UEFA’s bonus for the runner-up is already 6 million euros, not to mention the previous income and bonuses!

And even then, what can the extra 25 million euros in prize money given out after winning the championship buy?

You can’t even buy a leg from a good player!”

Chief Operating Officer Omar Berrada's analysis left Begiristan speechless, who had just been worried about economic problems.

Seeing this, Ferran Soriano immediately tried to smooth things over between his two old friends.

"Omar Berrada has recently been dealing with investigations by UEFA and the Premier League, and he feels a little angry. Begiristain, don't take it to heart.

Manchester City is not just a club, it is also a postcard of the City Group or the UAE Abu Dhabi Consortium.

If Manchester City wants to go further, they must win the Champions League. This cannot be filled by commercial cooperation or making more money. What we want to build is a truly giant club!

Championship bonus is a small matter, but how to win the Champions League is a big deal.

Begiristain, as long as the person Guardiola wants passes the inspection, he can try his best to buy him back, and Omar will provide you with sufficient funds.

Our boss just wants to see the final result, got it?"

Begiristain and Omar Berada both nodded in agreement.

Manchester City's Big Three have reached an agreement again.

The top management of Manchester City over there had some disputes, while the Manchester City players here were in a state of joy. Who can refuse a real monetary reward?

Even if it is 100,000 euros for the top spot in the group, it is not a small amount. Some substitute players in the team only earn this much in a month.

Not to mention the monetary rewards brought by the championship. If they can win the championship, the person with the lowest score in the Manchester City team will receive a huge reward of 1.2 million euros.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, and all the troubles and distractions will disappear under the heavy reward.

Under the encouragement of Guardiola and the inducement of Mansour, the entire Manchester City team was completely integrated.

Think in one place, work hard in one place, and everyone works together. Only in this way can we have a chance to break out of the death group and realize the dream of winning the championship.

After the training, because there was a game the next day, Zhao Jinge did not continue training and took De Bruyne's ride directly back home.

Zhao Jinge walked to the living room, threw down his backpack, and then fell directly on the sofa.

Since he came back early today, Zhao Jinge, who was not hungry yet, turned over and lay on the sofa while scrolling through his phone idly.

Open Twitter, go to your own account first, and see if any netizens have any new and exciting comments.

Then I found Jennifer Lawrence’s Twitter account with ease.

Jennifer Lawrence just tweeted a still from the biopic "Joy's Struggle" in which she stars.

Zhao Jinge casually clicked a like, and just when he was about to comment, he received two private messages from Jennifer Lawrence.

"I'm putting on makeup. I'll show you my new look later! Is training over? I just reminded you backstage to give me a like. Didn't you practice more today?"

The following private message is an expression of expectation and a smiling face.

Looking at the private message sent by Jennifer Lawrence, Zhao Jinge slowly smiled.

Since leaving Germany, during this period, not only did Zhao Jinge take the initiative to contact Jennifer Lawrence, but Zhao Jinge would also send her messages and like her tweets when he had nothing to do.

Jennifer Lawrence often sends her stills and some photos from daily life to Zhao Jinge, asking him if he looks good, and telling him about trivial matters in life and filming.

Zhao Jinge also often sends Jennifer some highlights from his training or competitions, and introduces her to some funny events that happened in the club.

Even though the two of them talked about topics that were not nutritious, they seemed to enjoy it endlessly.

Gradually, the two of them became more and more familiar with each other's lives, and the number of chats and video calls became more and more frequent. Now, they even have a video call every day.

"Because there is a game tomorrow, I didn't practice any extra tonight and came back early."

A few seconds after Zhao Jinge replied to the private message, he received an invitation for a video call.

After clicking on it, Jennifer Lawrence with exquisite makeup immediately appeared opposite.

"Look Zhao, does my look look good?"

Jennifer Lawrence fixed her mobile phone on the support stand on the dressing table, took a few steps back, and included her body in a tall evening dress into the shot.

Her golden curly hair fell down her chest, and she wore a strapless, tall black evening dress. Her skin was like snow, and looked like a blooming white lotus under the dim light, while her charming white legs bloomed with silent temptation in the black.
