Chapter 153 What should I do!?
AC Milan is a giant European football club.
In 2006, AC Milan's performance began to decline due to the "phone gate" incident and was surpassed by its archenemy Inter Milan. In recent years, AC Milan has not achieved any good results, especially in the European arena, which seems to be recessioning as they are in the Serie A recession.
Inter Milan won the Champions League last year, which was a heart-warming agent for Italian football, but AC Milan's performance still did not rise.
In order to be able to have stronger competitiveness in domestic and European arenas, AC Milan introduced players such as Ibrahimovic and Robinho last summer.
Milan fans are waiting for a new dynasty.
At the beginning of this year, AC Milan's replacement continued, Ronaldinho returned to Brazil, and the team also welcomed Casano, who was called "the best genius in Italy" by Berlusconi, and also introduced Emmanuel Soncôn, Van Bomer and Didak.
Last season, with Ibrahimovic's wonderful performance, AC Milan was far ahead of other opponents and won the 2010-2011 Serie A championship at the end of the season and was also AC Milan's 18th Serie A championship. However, AC Milan still did not make any breakthroughs in European competitions.
Just over a dozen days ago, the legendary legend Pirlo, who had played for ten years, left AC Milan to transfer to Juventus. The veteran Jankulovsky, who helped AC Milan win the Champions League championship in 2006-2007, also left AC Milan, but AC Milan also added new stars such as Taivo, Mex, El Salave, and other veterans such as Nesta and Sidov. Italian media analysts believe that "compared to last season, AC Milan's strength has increased!"
For AC Milan, which has the UEFA Champions League gene, increasing strength means increasing competitiveness in the UEFA Champions League.
In the European transfer market, AC Milan does not spend money like other giants and introduce outstanding stars. They still maintain a low-key style, even like those small clubs. As long as there is a starting price from the club, they don’t mind selling the sidelines.
Shepchenko went to Chelsea that year, and then the core Kaka also went to Real Madrid.
The departure of these two players also brought AC Milan more than 100 million euros in transfer income, and also caused AC Milan's strength to decline. Perhaps Pirlo's choice to leave was because AC Milan did not see any hope for the future.
Wan Sheng values AC Milan's defense player Thiago Silva.
Thiago Silva is not the Brazilian captain two years later. Although he became famous at a young age and started his career at the age of 17, he used to play for some peripheral teams, such as Rio, Brazil where his career began, and Juventus in South Casias, Rio Grande, South Brazil.
In 2004, Thiago Silva landed in Europe. Like many other Brazilian players, Thiago Silva chose the Portuguese League and joined the Portuguese Super League giant Porto.
A year later, Thiago Silva was spotted by Dynamo Moscow and left Portugal to Moscow. However, his experience in Russia was almost a disaster. Thiago Silva suffered from tuberculosis and stayed in a hospital for half a year. He even had the idea of retirement in the middle.
Thiago Silva was unable to continue playing for Dynamo Moscow, so she chose to return to Brazil and joined Fluminense, Brazil.
In Fluminense, Thiago Silva's performance has increased and has become more and more famous.
With his outstanding performance in Fluminense, Thiago Silva is valued by Doga's European giants, and AC Milan is one of them. Among the many giants, Thiago Silva is the most urgent need.
In the 2008-2009 season, with veteran Maldini retiring, AC Milan's aging defense line became increasingly serious. In order to slow down the team's aging problem and to make the team's defense combination more reasonable, AC Milan bought Thiago Silva for 10 million euros before many European giant clubs. The two sides signed a four-year contract. However, a problem arose. Italian football only allows two non-EU players to register. In the same season, AC Milan's two non-EU players were given to Andre Shevchenko and Tabare Beudes. Therefore, Thiago Silva can only wait until July 1, 2009 to officially register in the Italian Football Professional League to obtain the qualification to participate in the official match for Milan.
In the 2009-10 season, Thiago Silva began to play for AC Milan. At the beginning, he could only be a substitute for the defensive, but his performance became more and more stable. By last season, his playing time was no less than that of the defensive player Nesta.
Thiago Silva has become AC Milan's backbone defense.
Thiago Silva signed a four-year contract with AC Milan Club, and it has been two and a half years since then. Recently, AC Milan has frequently asked Thiago Silva's agent to renew the contract, but Thiago Silva himself did not think about renewing the contract with AC Milan, so the renewal issue has been delayed again and again.
In fact, Thiago Silva is already a little dissatisfied with AC Milan, one is the environment of AC Milan.
In AC Milan, he is always "selected by talents". No matter how good Thiago Silva performs, he is not as good as Nesta in the same position. Because Nesta is older and there are various gangs in the team. After Kaka left, the power of the "Brazilian Gang" was extremely narrow, which shows Thiago Silva's situation.
The second is the salary AC Milan gives itself.
When he signed AC Milan in 2008, Thiago Silva's annual contract salary was only 2 million euros. Based on the high-income tax rate of Italy, he could only get 1.14 million euros a year.
Now Thiago Silva has become the backbone of AC Milan's defense. AC Milan's annual salary for renewal is only 4 million euros. Compared with AC Milan's team, Robinho's salary is 6 million euros, Ibrahimovic has 7.5 million euros, and many other players have 3,4 million euros.
"French Football" evaluates Thiago Silva's value of 23 million euros. According to this value, he should at least get an annual salary of more than 5 million euros. What's more, he is already one of the most important players in the team and deserves a higher salary, but AC Milan is obviously unwilling to come up with a higher salary contract.
This is also an important reason why Thiago Silva has been hesitating whether to renew his contract with AC Milan.
In terms of professional players' salaries, Italy is completely unable to catch up with England, and there is a lot of difference compared to the "Swiss Super League" teams. Compared with the giant teams, AC Milan cannot even catch up with the French Ligue 1 or Bundesliga giants. In other words, if an AC Milan main player goes to other countries' teams and can still become the main player, his salary will increase a lot.
This may also be one of the reasons for the decline of Italian football.
Thiago Silva is the affected player. He is already a little dissatisfied with AC Milan, but he still has not completely thought about it. He hopes that the club can provide a higher salary.
———
June is a rare holiday for professional players.
Thiago Silva was on vacation in Australia with his wife Isabel, and he enjoyed this leisure time.
Isabel also enjoys it, she loves seeing her husband live without football.
Isabel once asked her husband a question, "Do you love football or me?"
Silva couldn't answer.
When the media reporter asked a question, Isabel also said the same thing. She said that her husband would never choose her. "He won't say it, but I know the importance of football to him, and maybe I shouldn't let him choose."
Silva said, "She knows I can't choose."
This question caused the two to have a dispute, but Isabel still understood Silva. After all, football is his profession, and his whole life will be with him for at least many years.
Isabel was lying on the beach, and Silva touched her sunscreen. The intimacy of the two attracted many people to see them, and some people who recognized Thiago Silva hurriedly took pictures with their mobile phones.
The two just smiled at each other.
At this moment, Silva's cell phone rang.
"Who is it!"
Silva said annoyedly, but picked up his phone and looked at it. It was his agent Paul. He put the phone in his ear and asked, "Paul? Is it about renewal again? I said everything, think about it again, and renewal will take July!"
"Not this time!"
Paul on the other end of the phone was a little excited, and he said, "Thiago, there is big news, Atletico Madrid, do you know? It's Atletico Madrid in Spain. Their head coach is Wan Sheng, that Chinese coach! His team submitted a transfer offer to the Milan Club!"
"Ah?" Silva didn't react for a moment.
"It's Atletico Madrid! I just learned the news from the club. Milan was a little hesitant, they didn't tell me, but I heard from others. Atletico Madrid's offer was 33 million euros, and even Mr. Galliani was moved."
Silva's first reaction was, "Milan wants to sell me?"
"Tiago, do you know what I'm talking about? Atletico Madrid wants to buy you and spend a lot of money. If the transaction can be successful, your reputation will become greater!"
"But……"
"What's the matter! Thiago, do what I said. No matter whether the deal will succeed or not, it will only benefit you and not harm you! We have to spread the news and put pressure on the Milan club. Even if you want to stay in Milan, you can get a bigger contract!"
Silva's "Yeah, yeah" sounded twice, and his mind had not yet turned around for a while.
It's not surprising that there are other clubs who want to get themselves, but the offer reaches 33 million euros, which is definitely an amazing big deal.
In fact, Silva has not adapted to the reality that he is a big star. Just two years ago, his net worth was only 10 million euros, and now he is only 2 million euros in an annual salary.
After putting down the phone, facing his wife Isabel's inquiring eyes, Silva's first words were, "Has I become a big star?"
Isabel smiled and stood up and said, "Of course, Thiago, I always believe you are a big star."
"No, I mean, a club spent a lot of money to invite me to join, and the transfer offer was 33 million euros... But, although I have never renewed my contract, I never thought about leaving... What should I do?"
Thiago Silva was a little panicked and didn't know what to do. This kind of emotion wouldn't appear on him, but things came too suddenly and he was not prepared at all. Especially when he heard the saying "Mr. Galliani was moved," he was even more at a loss.
What if AC Milan Club really wants to sell him? Do you really want to leave? Will going to Madrid be a better choice?
He hadn't considered these carefully.
"Don't worry, Thiago, think about it carefully. No matter what you do, I will support you. I believe you will handle it."
