Chapter 353 No Longer the First Annual Salary
Zhuoyang never expected that he would lose his position as the highest-paid player in football so quickly, and that he would be separated by such a large gap.
Since they all say that they only have money in their eyes, they cannot let this notoriety fall into vain. Therefore, Zhuo Yang, who was stimulated by Yaya Toure's 12.5 million annual salary, insisted on asking for 15 million when he transferred to Real Madrid. Not only must they return to the top spot in football, but they must also put some distance between themselves and stay ahead for at least a while in this evil capitalist football world.
The African cheetah Eto'o transferred from Inter Milan to the Russian Super League Anzhi Club for 40 million, with an annual salary of 20.5 million!
There was an uproar!
The strong teams in the Russian Super League have always been those in Moscow, so who is An Zhi? He is nothing except that he was acquired by big money this year.
Russian billionaire and metal industry oligarch Suleiman Kerimov bought Anzhi in January 2011, and in February he lured the former legendary left back, 37-year-old Roberto Carlos, with the bait Annual salary of 9 million euros.
As the eighth richest man in Russia, money is like a bastard to Klimov. He always lacks reasons to spend money. When this guy celebrated his 40th birthday in 2006, he spent 1.5 million to invite Shakira and American singer Aguilera to sing for him.
Rich people can really do whatever they want, and I don't know if Pique will feel upset after knowing this.
This summer, Klimov had a lot of fun. He invited the famous coach Hiddink to take charge of Anzhi. He also spent a lot of money in the transfer market. Calculated, he spent no less than Real Madrid. He almost changed the entire lineup. Once again, there is no shortage of famous figures from the five major leagues joining the team.
Lass Diarra, who left Real Madrid, received a salary of 4.5 million. In order to get Eto'o, whom he called "the top five in the world," Klimov paid 20.5 million to make Zhuo Yang become the runner-up.
Annual salary ranking of world football players: Eto'o 20.5 million, Zhuo Yang 15 million, Toure 12.5 million, Cristiano Ronaldo 12 million (increased in summer contract renewal), Kaka 11 million, Messi 10.5 million, Meng Ersheng 10 million. These are the eight millionaires in football today.
The above are all in Euros, and the above amounts are after tax.
This is unreasonable at all. According to the rules, the contract is re-negotiated every two years, and the salary premium is only about 10% at most. Zhuo Yang wants to surpass Eto'o and regain the world's first place. Unless he also goes to Anzhi, Manchester City may not be able to Dare to give him such a high price.
However, if all the eight wealthy men add their business income, Eto'o will drop to seventh place, only higher than Toure. The other six can be ten blocks behind them in terms of business development.
Since there was no hope of catching up with Eto'o, Zhuo Yang had no choice but to stop thinking about it with sour eyes. Fortunately, with this fool standing in front of him as a target, his 15 million became less dazzling. There are more people in football who hate the rich than those who know how to play football.
So when reporters interviewed him, Zhuoyang said: "Everyone has his value. Football is also a job. When your boss thinks you are worth so much money, it is reasonable. Each of us should do a good job. Work on your own, rather than dictating other people’s income.”
"Mr. Zhuoyang, how do you think you did your job?"
Zhuoyang spread his hands: "Today is an affirmation of my work. What do you think?"
At the familiar Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco, Zhuo Yang once again became the big winner at the annual European Football Awards and Champions Cup draw ceremony.
There is no suspense about the best player and top scorer in the Champions League last season. The best midfielder went to Xavi, the best defender went to Pique and goalkeeper Neuer.
The 25-year-old Neuer was indeed eye-catching at Schalke last season. His ability to defeat champion goalkeeper Valdes shows his strength. This summer, Neuer went to Bayern for 20 million euros. Maybe Bayern will never be short of talent again.
This award is a bit different because UEFA has established a new award from this year.
Last year's first dual-award FIFA Ballon d'Or was very controversial, and UEFA was very dissatisfied with it.
They believe that the voting of national team coaches and captains is too arbitrary and easily subject to human control.
UEFA is not dissatisfied with Brother Meng's award. What they are talking about is that they are dissatisfied with FIFA's work.
Therefore, starting from this year, UEFA established the 'Best Player in Europe', which was derived from the previous Best Player of the Champions League. The best player in Europe is no longer limited to the performance of the Champions League, nor is it based on the year as the previous 'European Ballon d'Or', but is based on the performance of a full season.
UEFA does not want to compete with FIFA again in terms of awards. It just needs to have its own process. It is also a warning to FIFA that if it messes up, Europe will start all over again.
The first European Player of the Year - Real Madrid's Zhuo Yang.
In this selection, Zhuo Yang received 38 votes, Messi 11 votes and Ronaldo 3 votes.
This award is just a backup. UEFA has not over-promoted it. It gives the impression to the outside world that it is similar to the best player in the Champions League. The highlight is still the 'FIFA Ballon d'Or' at the end of the year.
Zhuoyang followed the old rules and thanked Madiburg, AC Milan, Barcelona, and finally Real Madrid. That year Xiaozhu said: I want to see how long Zhuo Yang can read out the list of thanks!
The expressions of the people in Barcelona on the stage were somewhat... awkward, but after a moment, they still applauded.
After the conflict between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, Zhuoyang didn't call his old teammates and he didn't participate. Why did he call? What can I say if I call him? It is very likely that I will not compete with Barcelona within a year, so I have to eat enough to support this nonsense!
In the agreement between Rosell and Florentino, Zhuoyang cannot play Barcelona in 2011 and cannot play Barcelona in the Nou Camp in 2012. The La Liga schedule has been announced. The two sides will play at the Bernabeu in the first half of the schedule. They will not go to Camp Nou until the second half of next year. Zhuo Yang will not be able to play in these two games.
If they cannot meet in the Copa del Rey and Champions League like last season, Zhuoyang will miss Barcelona this season.
Every time he came to Monaco before, Zhuoyang would stay to participate in or watch the European Super Cup after the awards and draw ceremony, but this time he didn't. He withdrew with his Real Madrid teammates. Real Madrid people will not support Barcelona, and vice versa.
Before leaving, a reporter asked him: "Do you want Barcelona to win the Super Cup?"
Zhuoyang said: "Why not? Just now I said to Messi: Boss Mei, we must win all the championships this year. Boss Mei agreed."
At the Louis II Stadium, Champions League champion Barcelona defeated UEFA Cup champion Porto of Portugal 2:0 with goals from Messi and Cesc Fabregas, and won the 2011 European Super Cup. This is Barcelona’s fifth title this year. Contest champion.
Before Christmas at the end of the year, Barcelona will go to Japan to participate in the 2011 Club World Cup. This is their next goal.
"World Sports News" said: Zhuoyang brought Barcelona a triple crown, and our Messi will lead Barcelona to a six-time crown.
