Chapter 839 I prefer to win the championship in Liverpool

In addition to the five teams that have participated in the pre-season warm-up Trent Cup, Juventus and Atletico Madrid have also been confirmed to participate in the pre-season warm-up. With Notts County itself, there are already eight teams. team.

Eight clubs is enough. If there are more teams, I am afraid that Notts County's training base will not be able to accommodate so many teams.

According to the results of the discussion, there is no essential difference between the competition system and the last time. The eight teams also have two groups. After the single round-robin group stage, the teams with the same ranking in the two groups will fight to determine the final name. As a result, each team can play four games, enough to achieve the preseason warm-up effect.

Due to the success of the last Trent Cup, this time the Trent Cup also attracted countless attention. Sponsorship fees plus broadcast fees and other income, on average, each team can get a bonus income of about 300w euros, which is already very high. Considerable.

It is precisely because of the success of the Trent Cup that the few giants who were not invited are naturally unwilling to lag behind. Barcelona and AC Milan also took the lead in planning a similar cup, and invited several giant teams to participate, which attracted the attention. A lot of eyeballs, the meaning of tit for tat is obvious.

David doesn't care about this. It's like a child's fighting spirit. The essence of the Trent Cup is to warm up. He can get a certain benefit based on the completion of the warm-up purpose. Of course, he will not refuse. As for competing with others, he really is. Not that idle.

When he was busy preparing for the warm-up match, David didn't pay attention to the negotiations with Gerrard. He knew that as long as there was progress, Soriano would tell himself, but things seemed to be heading in an unpredictable direction.

I don't know if it was Liverpool or Notts County who leaked the negotiation. There was an uproar between the public opinion and the fans. Although they had long thought that Liverpool might not be able to resist Notts County's money offensive, when they got Liverpool's consent When Notts County made the offer, they were still shocked.

The angry Liverpool fans could no longer control their emotions. Every day, a large number of fans gathered outside the club, roaring angrily for the club to keep Gerrard, and the homes of several board members were also besieged.

Gerrard has not shown up or made a public statement since that statement, as if the world has evaporated, while Gerrard's agent has been staying in Nottinghamshire and going to Notts County Club every day. negotiation.

The Reds fans thought they had been betrayed by Gerrard and the Reds captain was fooling them with his last statement. Angry fans searched for Gerrard's shirt, burned it openly and vowed never to forgive him. .

In contrast, the fans of Notts County are very happy. The team has sold several superstars in a row, and now they finally have big signings again.

It's definitely something to be happy about and they can't wait to see Gerrard in action at the Magpies.

But only Soriano knows that the negotiations between the club and Gerrard's agent have reached an impasse.

When Liverpool renewed the contract with Gerrard in 2005, Gerrard's weekly salary was 10w, which is already the maximum salary in the Premier League. However, this time, Gerrard's agent opened his mouth and asked the club to provide Gerrard is on a £20w-a-week contract and only signs for two years.

The last time Notts County renewed his contract on a large scale, captain Alonso's weekly salary was 11.5w, which was the team's maximum salary. After a salary increase last season, it reached 12.5w, which is still the team's maximum salary. , In addition to Alonso, there are 6 players with a weekly salary of more than 10w.

With Gerrard's status in world football, it is no problem to get a salary of £12w in Notts County. If you add Notts County's generous bonus distribution plan, Gerrard's annual income will increase by more than half. , this is definitely a qualitative leap.

Originally, Soriano put the conditions of Notts County on the table, thinking that Gerrard's agent would be happy to agree, but he did not expect that the other party's appetite seemed to be greater.

The conditions put forward by Gerrard's agent are absolutely impossible for Notts County to meet. Not to mention whether Gerrard deserves a weekly salary of 20w, just breaking the balance of the team's salary system is Notts County. unacceptable.

There is no doubt that Alonso, as the captain, must be the maximum salary in the Notts County team, and no player can surpass Alonso, which is also the consensus of everyone.

Who is the highest paid athlete in the world right now?

The Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko who just moved to Chelsea, the Ukrainian striker’s weekly salary is 13w, but considering the distribution of bonuses in Notts County, I am afraid that in terms of income from the club, he can only rank in the middle and upper reaches of Notts County. .

If Notts County really gave Gerrard £20w a week, I'm afraid the whole world would go crazy.

Soriano suspended the negotiation without any suspense, and truthfully described the entire negotiation process to David. The answer in their hearts was the same, that is, the condition offered by Gerrard's agent was just to scare off. Notts County, Gerrard himself does not want to move to Notts County at all.

The Liverpool club has agreed, and Gerrard has no way to persuade the club. Therefore, he can only destroy the negotiations with Notts County and cannot reach a personal agreement with Notts County. Liverpool can't just throw themselves out of the house!

This was Gerald's true thoughts, and he was silently resisting in this way.

David and Soriano fell silent at the same time, perhaps feeling they should respect Gerrard's loyalty.

After a long time, David suddenly said to Soriano: Call Gerrard's agent and ask him for Gerrard's phone number.

Gerrard's agent thought that Soriano wanted to contact Gerrard directly to discuss personal treatment, but he didn't want to give it to him. David snatched the phone from Soriano's hand. He said unceremoniously, Put your care away, I have 10,000 ways to get Gerald's phone number.

After getting Gerrard's phone number, David dialed it directly.

I'm Notts County chairman David Parvis, Mr Gerrard, and I just want to ask you one question, do you want the title or do you want to remain loyal to Liverpool forever?

David did not say hello, did not greet, but asked very directly.

Gerald was in a daze when he received the unfamiliar call, and was even more at a loss when he heard David's words, but he quickly reacted.

I would prefer to win the title at Liverpool!

Gerald's words were loud and firm, like a pilgrimage! (To be continued.)
