"Oh, that's what happened! I just figured out why he was so sad and why he worked so hard..." During the halftime break, I heard my teammates talk about Kim Jong-you's age and service period, as well as his
European Dream, Chen Zhuo also understood the reason for his sadness.
Due to the gap problem, some of the Korean team players are still the "idols" of the Hong Kong team players, so they pay special attention to the news about the Korean team players. Like the media's analysis of Kim Jong-you before the game, they saw that Chen Zhuo
He didn't pay attention to these, and he didn't have time to pay attention to them.
Just like when the Chinese national team played against Real Madrid, the players of the Chinese team were not thinking about the game, but thinking about who to change their jerseys with after the end. During the halftime break, the players of the Hong Kong team were in a very relaxed mood.
There was absolutely no tension as it should have been. In Baggio's view, this situation was a bit abnormal.
"Will this happen? They actually have such an idea?" After listening to the assistant coach's analysis, Baggio was a little surprised.
During the preparations before the game, he did not find that the players would have such emotions. In the first half, it felt like Baggio, with Chen Zhuo running and fighting desperately, but the players of the Hong Kong team did not seem to be particularly cooperative!
Several other European players were quite active in fighting for a period of time, but towards the end of the first half, they also started to slack off!
Walking into the locker room at halftime, Baggio asked this question to the assistant coach. Assistant coach Tsang Weizhong, who has a deep understanding of Hong Kong players, gave his analysis. In his understanding, Hong Kong players are not disciplined enough.
, loose and unorganized, this is the norm, and being at a low level for a long time, their collective sense of honor is not that strong.
This also has something to do with Hong Kong's "isolated island culture". For the mainland, they sometimes feel that they are "outcasts", and sometimes have an indescribable sense of superiority. They also love the British "colonizer"
Hate and hate.
However, these emotions are more likely to occur among Hong Kong people before the 1960s and 1970s, especially those born in the 1980s and 1990s. Their sense of national honor and collective honor has been further diluted.
This aspect is similar to that of people of the same age in mainland China.
The current Hong Kong team is of this age group. For this Asian Games, they have already spent more than two months training, including a month of training in Europe. Although each club has made a request to the Hong Kong Football Association
The cooperative attitude and sincerity, but from the perspective of the players themselves, they have not played in the club league for the past two or three months, and the subsidies issued by the Hong Kong Football Association are really far behind compared with their income.
Originally, they thought that reaching the semi-finals would create history and that they would receive a large bonus. However, before the game, President Huo Zhenlin only expressed his gratitude enthusiastically and still did not give a specific figure.

"Brothers, Coach Baggio asked me to ask everyone. In this match against the South Korean team, many players did not have the same energy as in the previous games. Coach Baggio asked me to ask why? Who can tell me?
? Frankly speaking, I feel the same way. At the end of the first half, I was almost kicked to death by them. Xiao Guo came over as if he was taking a walk. And you, Gasson, otherwise you can tell me...
" Chen Zhuo asked.
Why did everyone feel this way? Was it because they felt that their mission to reach the semi-finals had been completed, or because Chairman Huo still did not announce the bonus figures before the game. Baggio asked Chen Zhuo to talk to the players, and he went out to play with Huo Zhenlin.
Make a phone call to help the players find out how much the bonuses are.
"Is it because Korean players are your idols? Are you satisfied to be able to play on the same court with your idols?" Chen Zhuo asked in an inductive manner.
"No, how is that possible!"
"I'm tired. It's been so many days, and my physical fitness has reached its limit."
"Yes, boss, your physical fitness is so abnormal. I really feel tired..."
Of course, they are all excuses. Chen Zhuo himself also knows that it is not just a problem that he has injected anti-fatigue drugs, but that there is something psychologically wrong with these players!
"Let's do it! Tell the truth, is it the prize money of this competition? Originally it was the prize money for qualifying in the group and entering the top eight. We all know these, but then we entered the semi-finals, but there was no prize money from President Huo.
That's a sign, right?" Chen Zhuo asked bluntly.
The players didn't answer, they all laughed, including Rong Aping and several European players.
"Haha, okay!" Chen Zhuo was also happy and said: "It seems that you have hidden a lot of things from me during my absence!"
Ouyang Yaochong scratched his head and said with a smile: "Boss, we have affected many rounds of leagues for this competition, and we have shed blood and sweat for Hong Kong. Look, there is a champion in South Korea who is exempt from military service...
…”
"Okay! I only have about ten minutes to rest. I don't have time to talk about it. Please tell me a number. How much bonus do you think is worth fighting for when entering the finals? Once we have added up the number, I will talk to Mr. Huo. Don't worry, brothers. I
It won’t make it difficult for Mr. Huo, we also have a sports brand sponsor! If they are too stingy, we can consider switching to Li Ning or 361, and support domestic products by the way!” Chen Zhuo knew how to stimulate them.
Rong Aping and Gassen's eyes lit up when they heard Chen Zhuo's words. Haha, it's not that they are a bunch of guys who are blind to money. For them, getting a fair return for their efforts is also a kind of reward for them.
Career respect.

Baggio and Huo Zhenlin talked for a few minutes. Since this time it is not just a football team, but also involves the entire Asian Games legion. The rules of the Hong Kong Asian Organizing Committee before the game are that the gold medal is 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, the silver medal is 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the bronze medal is 150,000 Hong Kong dollars.
, the two-person event is divided equally, if football enters and exits the team, it will be 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and if it reaches the quarterfinals, the team will receive 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars...
The above is gone. The organizing committee did not expect that the Hong Kong team could enter the semi-finals or go further. This item was not included in the budget. It has been several days since they reached the semi-finals. The SAR government only agreed to allocate an additional 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.
There will be a meeting to vote.
The extra 500,000 yuan will be given only after reaching the semi-finals. Even including players and staff, this amount is indeed too small. Huo Zhenlin has been fighting for it for the past few days and is also temporarily seeking sponsorship, but after several rounds of negotiations, he is not satisfied.
If you take too long a step, you will easily get caught. This is probably what the saying goes, but Baggio probably wouldn't know this.
When he opened the door and came in, Baggio was stunned for a moment. The players' spirits were many times higher than before he came in. I don't know what Chen Zhuo said to them. Even the staff who gave the players defensive massage were smiling.
Look.
"Haha, Mr. Baggio..." Zeng Weizhong said softly: "Patton just called his agent..."
Chen Zhuo made a phone call just now. It was not a discussion, but a direct order. The call was to Emma, asking Emma to negotiate with the Erros brand owner. At the same time, he informed Spangwitz that if the Hong Kong team reaches the finals, the request
erros added an additional bonus of HK$00,000, and the first HK$1.5 million was also provided by them, that is, a total of HK$3.5 million.
The next requirement is that if the Hong Kong team finally wins the championship, Erros is asked to add an additional bonus of 6.5 million Hong Kong dollars, bringing the total bonus of the Hong Kong team to 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Not much, just 8.5 million yuan, 850,000 euros!
Chen Zhuo said on the phone that the response time is only 45 minutes. If they haven't thought it through before the end of the second half, Chen Zhuo will find a brand willing to provide liquidated damages. Chen Zhuo will not do this anymore and is not even willing to pay 850,000 euros.
Brand, let them and others "create miracles"!
The income of Hong Kong team players is not high. In 2009, Fan Zhiyi stayed in Hong Kong for a period of time, including Chen Zhaoqi, who received Fan Zhiyi's guidance. Later, when Fan Zhiyi was interviewed by "Oriental Sports Daily", he said that due to the impact of the financial crisis in 1997,
Over the next decade or so, Hong Kong's economic downturn was unimaginable, and the professional league also declined rapidly.
In 2009, except for a few foreign players and adult national team "stars" whose annual salary could reach one million Hong Kong dollars, many players in the Hong Kong League could only receive a salary of 10,000 to 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and even some newcomers' monthly salary
It’s only four to five thousand Hong Kong dollars. In Fan Zhiyi’s words, with this kind of income, people in Hong Kong usually wouldn’t dare go shopping, and some players even have to find part-time jobs!
In the current Hong Kong team, Chen Zhaoqi has the highest salary, with an annual salary of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is only more than 40,000 euros when converted into euros! The rest of the players are basically between 10,000 and 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, similar to Lin Zhijian and Xie Jiaqiang.
There is a certain gap between the reserve team players.
Gasson, who has an annual salary of 300,000 euros, and Rong Aping, who has an annual salary of 900,000 euros, are even more incomparable. With an annual salary of 3 million euros, there are various goal awards, assist awards, best player on the spot, best player of the month, etc.
Chen Zhuo, who has a bonus, is even more incomparable.
For Chen Zhuo, Erros is indeed too stingy. This 850,000 euros is nothing to them, but for the players of the Hong Kong team, at least 7 million of the 10 million Hong Kong dollars will be distributed to the players.
According to the allocation of main players and substitutes, the minimum substitute player can get HKD 10,000, which is already a lot of money for them!

Seeing the players rushing out of the locker room screaming, Baggio couldn't help but sigh, what a patton!
In this game, this guy injected himself with anti-fatigue drugs, which to put it bluntly are stimulants. Moreover, he also injected psychostimulants into the players in this way all at once. I really don’t know what to say about him, and I don’t know what to say about him.
It’s easy to evaluate whether his approach is right or wrong.
However, these all have a preset premise, that is, you must win this game. If you lose, the 00,000 bonus for this game and the 6.5 million bonus for the champion will not be mentioned.
For the sake of honor and a victory of economic value, the Hong Kong team seemed to have taken a collective injection of stimulants in the second half, launching a full-court press against the ten-man South Korean team! (To be continued.)
