Chapter Fifty-Three: Giving and Getting Should Be Proportional

Chapter Fifty-Three: Giving and Getting Should Be Proportional

When Berlusconi wanted to cut his salary, the owners of other clubs in Italian football were also tempted. If they could save some expenses, who would have trouble with money?

Especially those teams with high debts, years of deficits, unable to make ends meet, and struggling to maintain, they even regard Berlusconi's whim as a golden rule, waiting for AC Milan to take the lead in implementing it, and then fortunately in their own home What about promotion?

The Italian media tycoon and the dignified prime minister are so hard-pressed, even if they have banknotes in their pockets, how dare they show off their wealth!

At present, Fiorentina has the best economic situation in Italian football. Although Fiorentina and Roma are tied for the third place in the Italian football annual salary rankings, in fact, last season, the club's profits have already been combined. This part of the money was offset, and most of the balance was left.

But Dravalai and Pakinwa didn't see it that way. Dravalai was no longer the club president who was willing to invest a lot of money to save Violet for the revival of Florence, and Pakinwa had already divided Degan They are very dissatisfied with his right to leave, and being able to show their existence and save some money is still very attractive to them.

Who is the highest paid player in the team?

Of course it is Digan, with an annual salary of tens of millions of euros, even though it has now been surpassed by Ibrahimovic, it is still the second highest salary in world football.

When he signed the contract, Pakinwa was reluctant, but Drava was dazzled by the title of Triple Crown, and he had long forgotten the meaning of money. When he woke up, he wanted to To repent, but it was too late.

If you want to take action on the annual salary of the players in the team, you must first get rid of Digan, the wolf. Otherwise, other players in the Fiorentina team will follow Digan's lead.

But if you talk to Digan directly, it is impossible to achieve your goal, so you can only adopt a roundabout tactic to disintegrate Digan from the side.

Didn't Degan keep talking about the interests of the whole team, the interests of the whole team? Didn't you also win the support of the fans for this?

Therefore, in an interview with reporters, Pakinwa talked about the team's operating conditions: "Fiorentina is not considered a giant now, at least in terms of sponsorship, it has a strong relationship with the Milan duo, Juventus, and even the Roma team. It's not a small gap. The team's record last season was very good. In order to reward the players, Mr. De La Valle paid the players' salaries out of his own pocket. But now, I can only say that the economic situation in Italy is really bad. No, the business situation in Florence is also very bad. The high annual salary occupies most of the team's funds. This winter, Mr. De La Valle paid for Beckham's transfer. I think Prime Minister Berlusconi's The suggestion is very good. Now the annual salary of some players is indeed too high. It has reached a point where they think that there is a gap between the rich and the poor. This is abnormal, very abnormal! If Florence wants to develop healthily, there is no good economic environment. Impossible! So, we are now also preparing to save the club's financial situation in this way. Of course I know that this will damage the interests of some players, but the interests of the team are more important, aren't they?"

Although Pakinwa's image in the hearts of Fiorentina fans is not very good, his remarks still won the support of many fans. After all, fans who really love Fiorentina hope that the club will get better and better.

"Is Pakinwa planning to draw on the bottom line?"

At Degan's home, Zahavi also arrived. Now the Fiorentina club's frequent small actions have caused panic inside the team, which has affected the normal operation of the team, and Degan cannot turn a blind eye.

Zahavi smiled and said: "I have to admit that Chairman Pakinwa's move is very clever. He wants to use the fans and use the public opinion offensive to force you to bow your head! Rhodes! In Florence, the support of the fans is very important , if you don't take the initiative to cut your salary, it may have a very bad influence among the fans!"

Digan sneered and said, "Of course I know, but if I agree, I will lose the support of the team!"

Most of Degan's main economic income now comes from sponsorships and endorsements. Although Florence has to pay him a high annual salary of 10 million euros after tax every year, in fact, this money only accounts for Degan's overall annual income. Part of it.

But what about the others? What about the rest of the team?

They don't have the popularity of Degan. Some teammates are counting on this salary to live, and how long can a player's career be?

There are a few players who can complete the role transition from athletes to coaches, but most of them can only live on their laurels. If they don't make enough money for the rest of their lives when they are young, what will happen in the future?

As we all know, football players just eat a bowl of youthful rice. When they are young, they must save enough wealth for the rest of their lives, otherwise they will definitely live in trouble for the rest of their lives.

As the saying goes, there is no good life for a thousand days, and there is no red flower for a hundred days. If players don't think about the future in the best part of their careers, they are likely to find work after retirement and end up spending all their savings or even penniless. There is no shortage of such negative teaching materials in international football.

The former famous Brazilian star Garrincha had a wonderful first half of his life. He had strong breakthrough ability and extremely fast speed, and was given the reputation of "Little Bird" by fans. He and Pele won two World Cup championships in 1958 and 1962, and Created the pinnacle moment of Brazilian football.

However, Garrincha suffered from injuries and alcohol for the rest of his life. After retiring, the stubborn Garrincha spent money like water, and the coffee shop he ran went bankrupt. Dispirited, he could only drink away his sorrows all day long, which made his family's situation worse and worse, and finally fell into poverty and despair.

After squandering the money, his wife couldn't bear it anymore and left him, leaving him and his eight children to live a difficult life in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. In the end, the tortured Garrincha died suddenly.

Puskas, a legendary superstar in world football, he has a magical left foot, he has represented two different countries in two World Cups, he is the greatest player in the history of Hungary, but he is another destiny Miserable tragic figure.

In 1958, the 31-year-old Puskas joined Real Madrid. From 1958 to 1966, the "Flying Major" and the Argentine Stefano formed the most feared striker in Spain and Europe. Skas won four La Liga top scorers and helped the team win five league titles.

It is a pity that after Puskas retired, he did not become a symbol of the club like Stefano did, and he was not able to stay and work in the club, but drifted around like a fallen leaf.

Since 2000, Puskas' condition began to deteriorate. He has been hospitalized for 6 years and received 24-hour medical monitoring. At that time, he did not get much salary, so the expensive medical expenses made the old man impoverished. Originally, in August 2005, Real Madrid and the "Puskas All-Star Team" held a charity match in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. , to raise a fund for the seriously ill Puskas, but the Puskas family was shunned by the Hungarian merchants who hosted the game after the game. They only received 7,000 pounds of donations. Cash had to auction off memorabilia won during his career to cover medical expenses.

There is also the England star Webber, who was an excellent midfielder, played 110 times for Manchester United in his career, represented the England national team 26 times, and represented the England national team in the 1990 World Cup in Italy.

When he dominated Manchester United, Beckham's task was to shine his shoes every day. Some legends of Manchester United in recent years, such as Bryan Robson, Mark Hughes and Danish goalkeeper Schmeichel were his "little followers". Unfortunately, a series of serious injuries forced Webber to announce his retirement in 1996.

In the eyes of ordinary people, as a famous Premier League star, after retiring, Webber should live a comfortable life with a lot of pounds. But the reality is that Webber didn't catch up with the good times when he was playing football. After retiring in 1996, Webber also tried to be a coach. In 1997, he became the head coach of a club called Weymouth, but he was fired after 70 days. As a postman in the post office, his daily job is to sort letters, and he is also a "temporary worker".

Gascoigne was once England's most creative midfielder in the 1990s. His heroic tears in the 1990 World Cup and the wonderful goal against Scotland in the 1996 European Cup made him deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But indulgent habits, especially alcoholism, gradually ruined his career. Whether in the UK or during his short stay in China, Gascoigne would go to the bar to drink every night. Long-term drinking not only caused Gascoigne to have physical problems, but also his financial ability declined. Today, Gascoigne has sold his mansion, and his wife has divorced him. Spending money like running water has made his recent financial situation stretched, and even the living expenses of his ex-wife have not been paid for a long time.

Even big stars like Garrincha, Gascoigne, Webber, and Puskas couldn't avoid the plight of poverty after retirement, let alone these teammates around Degan.

At this time, Degan couldn't respond to the call of those fans, he had to think more about his teammates.

Once Degan compromises, then his teammates will definitely not be able to withstand such a great pressure. Surrender is the only way. Even if his teammates don't say anything at that time, Degan will definitely lose the support of his teammates.

"Rod! At this time, what do you think you should do?"

Digan didn't hesitate: "I can only be with my brothers!"

Pakinwa's offensive was very fast. The next day, when Degan went to the training ground to participate in training, he was surrounded by reporters at the door. The focus of their inquiries was naturally about the salary cut.

"I think you shouldn't ask me this question at all, you should ask the owners of those clubs. Now the salaries of players are following the laws of the market. It is best for the market to decide whether to limit or not. After all , football has become marketized and professionalized."

Degan asked the reporters to ask the owners of the club. The reporters obviously knew what Degan meant. In fact, the reason why the annual salary of the players is too high is that when the economic environment is good, some club owners compare with each other on the salary of the players. Caused.

"The salaries of players have indeed been a bit high in recent years. At that time, it was mainly because several large clubs did not follow the laws of football development and raised the salaries of players without authorization, which led to an abnormal increase in prices. This is not the responsibility of the players. And according to what we pay on the court and the benefits we bring to the club, do you think we get a lot? I think it is normal for players' income to follow the laws of the market. Our players just eat their youth. To be honest, Normal people have gone to college at this time and can seek a good future for themselves, but we are here to work hard. To put it bluntly, if there is not much money, who will do it? The competition for players is very fierce. How many people can really become Stars, have you made a lot of money? The elimination rate is so high, our risk is high, and what can we do after retirement? Don't we just want to rely on this little money for retirement?"

At this time, some fans around the side booed Degan. Degan looked at it and sneered, "Don't think I don't know who sent you here. I can give you a clear answer now. We What we get must be proportional to what we give. We won the Triple Crown last season, and the benefits created for the club are unimaginable. This season we are striving for the Six Crowns, and the bonuses we will get at that time are simply not enough for all our players. Compare! Why do we have to cut wages, is it just to save money for Mr. Delaware? This is simply ridiculous!"

Digan's attitude is very clear, there is no way for him to lower his salary!

"I don't care what people think of me, even if they think of me as a miser, it doesn't matter. These words are what I want to say, and it is also my decision. If the club feels that they cannot afford my salary, then they can choose to let me transfer. Leave, it's as simple as that! There's nothing to say! Every lire I've ever earned was earned on the football field!"
