At the end of the season, it's about transfer work.

The club's transfer work is very complicated. If you win the "triple-champion" Mirwall, the first thing you need to determine is which players will definitely stay, which players are uncertain about their intentions, and which players are sure to leave, and the team will also eliminate those players whose strength and performance cannot keep up.

The club's contract renewal has already begun.

Those players who perform well and whose salary and performance are obviously inconsistent will definitely get a new contract if they stay. Players who have signed heavy contracts also need to determine the intention to stay. Some marginal players in the team will decide whether to sign a new contract or whether they will stay.

In Mirwall, there are still many players who will renew or terminate the contract and leave normally.

First is the goalkeeper position.

Veteran Heathlop is sure to leave, and he cannot continue to play as the main player at Millwall. With his age as a substitute for one season, he can basically only wait for retirement.

Instead of choosing to renew his contract for one year, Heathlop decided to transfer and leave freely.

Graham was promoted to No. 1 goalkeeper and must sign a new contract.

In addition to Heathlop and Graham, there is also a young goalkeeper in the first team, Vito Manone. Manone is only nineteen years old. He played several games with the Millwall youth team last season and played for the first team once. He had no experience in the English League Cup and had to leave and had to go to the low league. The club asked for his intentions, and Manone decided to stay and wait for the opportunity.

In addition, Li Wei, who was loaned to the Serie B League, is preparing to return when his contract expires. The good news is that he has entered the Chinese National Olympic Team. He has entered the national team at such a young age, which has also made Li Wei feel very much anticipated.

However, Li Wei still could not obtain a labor certificate, and with his qualifications, he could not apply for the "genius clause", so he had to continue to be rented out.

Millwall's back line is quite stable, and several core players - Zambrota, Darren Ward, Concheski, Aberoa, Wes Morgan and others are all sure to stay.

Among them, Concheski and Aberoa received a salary increase, and Darren Ward signed a new contract, with a weekly salary of 70,000 pounds, which is almost the same as Zambrota. This level of salary is definitely a high salary for defenders.

In the past season, Alan Hutton and Traore have performed very well. Zhang Yang also used his new ability to "Lucky Prophet" to learn that Traore will have only 53 points in the next season, which is far below the normal range of about 70. Traore can only be listed for sale.

Zhang Yang has not yet confirmed that he will be listed for Hutton, so he will still be allowed to stay in the team to observe. After all, Hutton is barely considered a qualified substitute.

The changes in the midfield are also quite large.

Veteran Harman, Smitchell left for free, Sean Davis applied for a transfer, and veteran Pire stayed, but he is old and his physical fitness is a little unsatisfied in the later stage of the season, so the left side must need to be supplemented.

Zhang Yang used the "Lucky Prophet" to judge Quaresma's "Health Luck Index Rating", which was still very unoptimistic. The value was only 61:00. Quaresma himself also intends to go to Spain or Portugal League, but he still feels not adapted to the tough style of the Premier League.

This may also be the reason why Quaresma is vulnerable to injury.

Zhang Yang thought about it for a long time.

Whether Quaresma leaves is actually decided by Zhang Yang. If he does psychological comfort work, Quaresma will probably choose to stay, but in the end, Zhang Yang decided to let Quaresma leave. After all, Quaresma is too easy to be injured. If you continue to stay, you may suffer major injuries. Maybe if you leave to other leagues, the "Health and Luck Index Rating" may improve?

Maybe.

Zhang Yang is not sure about this, but the value will definitely change after leaving the team, because the predicted effect will never change.

Football games are a proof, and environmental changes are also one aspect.

For example, if Quaresma suddenly retires, the 'Health and Lucky Index Rating' will definitely improve greatly. If you don't play football anymore, your health risks will naturally be greatly reduced. You can't encounter fights when you go to play because of your low luck rating?

Finally, it is the front line, which changes the most.

After the Champions League final, Darren Bent considered leaving, which was no longer a private secret. Zhang Yang didn't know what Darren Bent thought before, but there were many reports in the media, but it was not a big deal. Players in the team performed well will have a lot of transfer news. Darren Bent is the leading scorer, so naturally there will be a lot of poaching and attracting a lot of reports.

Darren Bent's idea is the key.

Zhang Yang didn't know if Darren Bent wanted to leave, but the club contacted Darren Bent. His agent expressed that if Darren Bent wanted to stay in the team, he had to get a bigger contract.

How big is a larger contract?

At present, Darren Bent's weekly salary has exceeded 80,000 pounds. The highest salary level is 100,000 pounds. It can compete with the world's top stars. Bent won the league Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot, but it is still a certain gap from the world's top level. With the current club's salary system, it is impossible to give Darren Bent a huge salary separately.

The club is clear about this, and Darren Bent must also be clear about it.

Bente's agent's meaning is very obvious. Bente is considering leaving. Perhaps it was because the wealthy club attracted him with a maximum salary, or perhaps it was because he wanted to change the environment. In short, Bente is planning to leave.

The impact of Bente leaving was still very big. Wilkinson, who received the news, was a little panicked. He ran to the head coach's office, pushed open the door and said to Zhang Yang, "Do you know? Bente's agent said that he still needs a salary increase. I think what he meant was to operate Bente's transfer."

Zhang Yang touched his forehead, frowned and said distressedly, "I understand!"

"I don't know if it's Bent who wants to leave himself or what the agent means, I think I should ask carefully. Maybe they just want a raise?" Wilkinson said comfortingly.

"He knows he can't get a salary increase! At least it's impossible now!" Zhang Yang said, "His contract was signed last year and is already the team's maximum salary. Of course, this aspect is what you should consider. If you are willing to give Bente a salary increase and let him stay, it doesn't matter."

Wilkinson stopped talking at once.

He was a little panicked before. Bente is the leading scorer, the league, Champions League double golden boot, and Millwall's signature star. He never thought that Bente would leave, but now if he thinks about it carefully, the club cannot give Bente a salary increase. Bente's agent said that there will be no other possibility, so he must have planned to leave.

"What should I do?" Wilkinson said, "I have only talked to Bente a few times, or you call and ask? You should get along well."

Wilkinson's meaning was to ask Zhang Yang to persuade Bente to use emotional relationships to keep Bente on the team. Zhang Yang also felt that he should call to confirm the news. What if it was really because Bente's economic man planned to hype or other reasons?

Call immediately.

It took more than ten seconds before pressing the answer button. Zhang Yang asked bluntly, "Darren? Are you planning to leave the team?"

“…”

The opponent was hesitant, as if he didn't know how to express it.

Zhang Yang continued to ask, "Just tell the truth, which club?"

“…”

Bente continued to remain silent, and after a while, he said, "Boss, I'm sorry, they took out a big contract, I can't find a reason to refuse. There are several teams that have contacted me, but I want to stay in England, with Manchester United and Tottenham being sincere."

"Manchester United? Not bad!"

Zhang Yang sighed casually, feeling a little regretful, and Bent was actually bribed by money.

Evil money!

Zhang Yang was not angry, but instead was chatting with friends, asking with interest, "What is the specific contract? Can you disclose it?"

“…”

Bente never expected that the coach would ask such a private question. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Spurs promised to give me six million pounds after tax, and a large signing fee."

"It's really a big deal!"

Zhang Yang sighed, after tax, he said that the average weekly salary was more than 110,000 pounds. Such a high salary reached the world's top level, no wonder Bente had no reason to refuse.

Zhang Yang did not try to persuade him. He discussed with Bente a few words like a friend, but only at the end he suddenly asked, "If the club gave you the same contract, would you still leave?"

“…”

Bente hesitated.

"Okay, I understand. I wish you all the best in the future." Zhang Yang put down the phone without giving Bente a chance to answer.

It’s not that Zhang Yang had thought of keeping Bente, but he almost knew Bente’s heart. He had always valued Bente for two seasons and still knew Bente’s character very well.

This guy is very low-key on weekdays and doesn't talk much in the team, but he still has his own ideas. Wanting to leave Millwall is not just a temptation to have a high salary. In fact, it is not much higher than the high salary. The contract between Millwall and Bente has salary increase of 15% in the second year compared to the first year, and so on. Next season is the second year, and by the third year, Bente's weekly salary will exceed 100,000 pounds.

This is one of the reasons why the club cannot offer higher contracts.

Bente signed a four-year contract, and his salary has reached its peak and there is no room for improvement.

So why did Bente leave? Even if the club gave the same contract, he didn't just say "stay", but became hesitant?

pressure!

Everyone in the outside world knows that Bent is Millwall's leading scorer, but he is under a lot of pressure. There are many players in the team who have performed well, and his direct competitor Vardy is getting better every year.

In the past season, Vardy's average performance has not been worse than Bente, and it is still improving.

Bente must have felt the pressure.

So next season, will Bent still be Millwall's "main shooter"?

Choosing to leave at the most glorious time is the best choice. With the halo of "League and Champions League double-level Golden Boots", Leaving Millwall to join other teams, getting the ideal big contract, and continuing to become the team's leading scorer is the most advantageous choice.

Zhang Yang believed that someone must have analyzed all this for Bente, which also prompted him to decide to leave.

Wilkinson couldn't see these many things. He felt sorry for Bente's departure and complained anxiously, "Why don't you persuade me more?"

Zhang Yang shrugged and said directly, "Prepare for transfer work! Let's talk with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, they should have quotes, right?"

Wilkinson nodded, "Manchester United's offer is 40 million pounds, Tottenham Hotspur, 42 million."

"You decided to transfer work, but I think Bent tends to join Tottenham, so the club can ask for a higher price. That has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Yang expressed his attitude.

Wilkinson was very surprised. The pure businessmen were all qualified actors. He was not so anxious. Instead, he was looking forward to Bente's transfer and leaving. It would be a very heavyweight transaction, and the club would have huge accounts.

Wilkinson's performance was just to appease Chang Yang's heart, indicating that Bent's departure was his own choice and had nothing to do with the club.

When Wilkinson saw Zhang Yang's "indifferent" attitude, he was also very surprised.

Darren Bent!

That's the team's leading scorer!

Shouldn't a head coach be angry that the shooter left?

Wilkinson didn't know that Zhang Yang led the team to win, and the proportion of star performance was very small.

The team has achieved good results, and the greatest contribution is Zhang Yang.

This is a word of praise from fans to Zhang Yang. What they don’t even know is that Zhang Yang has made the most contributions. Not to mention formulating tactics for preparations, for example, if Zhang Yang does not have Zhang Yang’s command, the team’s results will not be very bad, but will definitely drop to a big level.

This is the key to the problem.
