Chapter 704
If we calculate based on the median value of Lin Chen's contract, without taking into account other income such as endorsements, no one can exceed his contract income. 》
This is the first world-class football hot search. It is the most popular social software in every country related to football. The first place on the hot search list of this social software is definitely the news about Lin Chen’s contract!
Gullit saw the news and immediately drove to the studio, knowing that Scholes would call him next.
Sure enough, when Scholes' call reached Gullit's car, the latter had already parked it in the studio's garage!
"Ashley Cole, hurry up and gather in the studio, you are here again, this time we must bring Lin's contract to all the fans and analyze it for them!"
Due to family reasons, Ashley Cole did not participate in the commentary of the European Cup games, but this time there is analysis about the contract and Ashley Cole must appear!
Ten minutes after Scholes finished the phone call, Stam, Ashley Cole, Gullit, Scholes and Tony Adams officially gathered in the studio!
All the fans had been waiting for too long, so when Gullit made sure that everything in the studio was ready, as soon as the live broadcast room was turned on, the popularity was so high that Scholes couldn't help but start laughing.
Ashley Cole posted Lin Chen's contract, and every detail shocked him. He couldn't believe that this would be a contract that appeared in the Premier League!
"I still can't believe this is a contract offered by a Premier League team. In the past, we only heard about La Liga teams, such as Real Madrid or Barcelona, who would give some top contracts to legendary players or more important players!"
"For example, as far as I know, Real Madrid is offering or has offered Bale a contract worth more than 60 pounds, but Bale has played for Real Madrid for many years and he is a meritorious player!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo's contract at Real Madrid is also very scary, as is Messi's at Barcelona, but neither of them has a bonus clause like Lindo."
"The bonus clauses in the contract are so detailed, and the bonuses are so much. From the perspective of bonuses, it is possible that Lin Chen will get more bonuses than his salary."
"For a moment, I felt that the £70 was not the most surprising thing about this contract, because the bonus was much more than £70 a week!"
Gullit knew that this was a contract based on Lin Chen's performance, but judging from Lin Chen's performance in the past few years, he could almost get most of these bonuses.
"For example, this year, Lin is very close to winning the Ballon d'Or. He has almost no competition now. This will be his third Ballon d'Or. And it is clearly written in the contract that as long as Lin wins the Ballon d'Or, he will directly receive 1800 million pounds!"
"Then the contract also includes a £500 million bonus for various English football championships, and an additional £200 million bonus when he reaches 300 and 1000 Premier League appearances!"
"The bonuses for Premier League appearances alone would have been enough for me to fight for a long time. Is this really a contract that should be given to football players? It's really surprising!"
Stam suddenly found an interesting entry point.
"What I'm about to say next may break your defense, but I'm still going to say it!"
"Think about it carefully. The combined contracts of us old guys at our peak can barely compare to Lin's contract!"
"And our contracts are limited, three or five years, which means that after a few years, if we are no longer at our peak, the club can kick us out or give us a worse contract."
"But Lin's contract is indefinite, until he retires. Even if he gets older one day and his performance is no longer as good as in his prime and he can't produce terrifying statistics, he can still get the same treatment as in his prime."
"What on earth do I have to do to get such a horrible contract like Lin did? I really want to interview Lin as soon as possible and let him tell me the secret, so that I can make a comeback and continue to fight for such a contract!"
Scholes knew what to do.
"Want to know what needs to be done to get a big contract like Lin's? Let me tell you, I know!"
Then Scholes opened the document he had prepared, which contained detailed records that Lin Chen had set over the years, not only competition records, but also records off the field!
"First of all, you have to win three Ballon d'Or awards before you are 23 years old!"
"Secondly, you have to win the World Cup at the age of 18, and then help your club win the Champions League and the club's first league title at the age of 18!"
"Then, you have to make sure that as a midfielder, you can create at least 40 goals for the team every season. If you are a striker, I think this number should be increased by 20!"
"Then you have to be able to achieve that from the age of 18, your jerseys will sell out every year, and every year your jersey sales will set a record for the highest among all clubs in the world."
"Then you have to make sure that as long as there is a game of yours, no matter how low the level is, even if it is just the third round of the League Cup, the attendance rate must be at least more than 98%, because every game in which Lin started in the past has reached this data!"
"Finally, you have to make sure that your swag, the player merchandise that many clubs consider irrelevant, sells almost as well as the shirts."
"The revenue that Liverpool generates for the club through these small gifts every year is even higher than the total profit from jersey sales of some mid- and lower-level Premier League clubs!"
"As long as you do these, you can get this kind of contract!"
No one spoke after Scholes finished speaking, and he could only hear the petrified sound coming from his ears.
