Li Jun continued: "This matter is probably not that simple. I heard from Guangzhou Evergrande that the loss of the FA Cup was not the reason for Xu Jiaying's poaching. It is said that the real reason was the Quanhua that Xu Jiaying had always mentioned.
The class’s strategic goals.”
Hearing Li Jun's reminder, Zhang Sheng suddenly realized. This time Zhang Sheng blamed himself a bit, because this reason was something Zhang Sheng should have thought of, that is, the all-China class that Li Jun mentioned just now.
Because Zhang Sheng in his previous life had heard Xu Jiaying’s three goals for investing in Chinese football countless times.
The first time he mentioned three goals was as early as 2o12 at the opening ceremony of Evergrande Football School. And his three goals were very clear:
First, in the near future, we must build a strong club in the short term, introduce excellent domestic players, excellent foreign players, and an excellent coaching team to build a strong club. In the football field, we must use the shortest time of two or three years to build a strong club.
Build a relatively strong team.
The second is to use the least foreign aid and the most domestic aid as much as possible within 5-8 years to build Evergrande Club into a relatively strong club in China, which means cultivating existing players, especially those who are younger.
Players aged 20, 22, 19, and 18 will use 5-8 years to turn Guangzhou Evergrande into a strong team with basically all domestic players. This is also Evergrande's mid-term goal.
The last step is to strengthen the training of young players and use 8 to 10 years to build a Evergrande with exclusively domestic players, composed of Chinese, Asian and even world-class star players. This is also the long-term goal of Guangzhou Evergrande.
In Zhang Sheng's impression, Xu Jiaying mentioned these three goals more than once. In history, after Guangzhou Evergrande won the Chinese League, Football Association Cup and AFC Champions League, Xu Jiaying raised the goal of the All-China Class to a certain level.
The height. And after Lippi took over, Xu Jiaying, who has rarely interfered in the internal affairs of Evergrande Club, many times used the All-China Class affairs to stimulate the team when the team performed poorly and was in poor condition. The team did
He also used the All-China Class to win games such as Liaoning Hongyun and Shanghai Greenland Shenhua. This shows his persistence in the goal of the All-China Class.
This is actually what Xu Jiaying has been doing - collecting players at the national team level, so poaching Longteng players is a logical thing.
Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng also made an analysis of Guangzhou Evergrande's current players. Currently, Guangzhou Evergrande has three players in their prime, Zeng Cheng, Yang Jun and Li Shuai, as goalkeepers.
National youth player Fang Jingqi basically has no need for a goalkeeper. On the defense line, after it has been confirmed that Jiangcheng Zall’s defense backbone Mei Fang will be introduced for free, Guangzhou Evergrande’s defense line does not need to introduce any more personnel.
Player.
What Guangzhou Evergrande really wants to strengthen is the players in the midfield and frontcourt, among which the players above the midfielder are the most urgent. Now Guangzhou Evergrande’s two main midfielders are Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen, Zhao Xuri exists as a rotation player, and the others
The substitutes are a bit unreliable. And among the three main defensive midfielders, except for Zheng Zhi who has the ability to organize and move forward, the rest, neither Huang Bowen nor Zhao Xuri, have the ability to organize offense. And Gao Jun's
Ability is what Guangzhou Evergrande urgently needs. After all, Zheng Zhi is already over 30 years old, and no one can say how his condition and physical fitness will be maintained.
At the same time, in order to ensure the goal of the All-China Class, Evergrande has been looking for a domestic forward who can act as an arrow and has strong shooting ability. However, such a player has never been found in China, and Evergrande has no choice. But Deng Qun’s
The appearance gave Evergrande a target. Let’s not talk about his confrontation ability in the frontcourt, but his shooting ability is beyond doubt. Several games with Guangzhou Evergrande have already illustrated this problem. As for Deng Qun, he can only
Evergrande is not worried at all about the weakness of being a forward in a strong team, because Evergrande is at least the top strong team in Asia. Several powerful foreign players can ensure that Evergrande's midfielder has a strong ability to press opponents.
There are enough and good enough passes.
Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng said to Li Jun: "Lao Li, according to my opinion, the players Guangzhou Evergrande wants to poach from us are Deng Qun and Gao Jun?"
Li Jun said: "Director Zhang! I admire you. It is indeed as you thought. The two of them are the targets that have been rumored by Guangzhou Evergrande."
Regarding this situation, Zhang Sheng had to shake his head: "This is troublesome. As long as the domestic players are determined to be targeted by the Evergrande team, it will be difficult to stay in the team."
Zhang Sheng has his own reason for saying this. That is that the player wages of the Dragons are completely incomparable with the player wages of Guangzhou Evergrande. Now Guangzhou Evergrande has the best players in the country on paper, but it also has the best players in practice.
Highest player salary in the country.
Take their current captain Zheng Zhi as an example. His salary is 7 million after tax and 10.15 million before tax. The person with the same salary as Zheng Zhi is Huang Bowen imported from South Korea by Guangzhou Evergrande. He is also 7 million after tax and before tax.
A salary of 1.15 million. Among the top ten domestic players in terms of salary income, except Zhao of Dalian Aerbin, he always likes to make random bids to raise the player's salary. As a result, Yu Dabao has 6.5 million after tax and 9.43 million before tax.
, Yu Han has 6 million after tax and 8.7 million before tax, the others are all players from Shandong Luneng, another Chinese giant in Guangzhou Evergrande. And 4 of the top six players are from Guangzhou Evergrande.
Correspondingly, the players of the Jiangcheng Longteng team are on the low side. In the Chinese League One last season, the salary level of the Longteng team was only at the bottom of the entire league. In addition to the average bonus level, the Longteng team
The general monthly salary of players fluctuates around 1. After this success, the Longteng team has significantly upgraded the salary, raising the salary level of the main players to about 8 per month, but the annual salary is also tax.
The latter is about 1oo. This is really far behind the 5oo after-tax annual salary of Evergrande's main player, not to mention the bonuses such as winning prizes and winning streak prizes of the Evergrande team which are far superior to the Longteng team.
With the abilities shown by Deng Qun and Gao Jun at the age of 21, it is normal for Evergrande to offer an after-tax annual salary of 500. What's more, for players like Gao Jun who are urgently needed by Evergrande, the annual salary may be higher.
high.
Faced with such a huge salary gap, Zhang Sheng can't fault Deng Qun and Gao Jun. After all, they are professional players. Although they were summoned by themselves, they need to have their own lives after all. And the person who seduced them this time
They are still players like Guangzhou Evergrande who have just won the AFC Champions League, and their head coach is the world-famous coach Lippi. There is no doubt that Guangzhou Evergrande has already booked the Chinese League Championship trophy this season.
Facing such a team that can earn both high wages and honors, most of the players cannot resist, let alone Gao Jun and Deng Qun, whose family backgrounds are average, yet they play football for them.
Players who have spent all their family savings and almost lost their professional football careers, even if it is to support their families, people cannot blame them for their choices.
Faced with Zhang Sheng's judgment, Li Jun shook his head helplessly and said: "That's true. Guangzhou Evergrande's high player salaries and the highest winning awards in the country are really too attractive to outstanding players, and
They are still so strong, as long as they play well in their team, they don't have to worry about money."
Zhang Sheng also recognized Li Jun's statement and nodded: "That's true, but we can't break the team's salary structure just because players want to transfer. That would be too much of a loss."
Li Jun also said: "So I think Coach Zhang, you need to make tactical arrangements in advance, because the two of them are destined to leave, but there is one thing, if Evergrande really wants to force the purchase, they are willing to pay."
Hearing what Li Jun said, Zhang Sheng burst into laughter: "So we still have to thank Evergrande."
Li Jun also smiled silently: "What else can I do? Just try to comfort yourself."
As the general manager of the club, Ding Fan was no longer as panicked as he was at first, and smiled: "Since I can't keep him, I'll give Evergrande a hard blow. I guess their purchase request is already on the way.
"
After saying this, the three people looked at each other and laughed.
However, Li Jun quickly broke the silence and said a little embarrassedly: "Coach Zhang, I have always wanted to tell you something. Originally, in this situation, I shouldn't mention it, but I still want to tell you in advance.
, that means I may have to leave next season."
In fact, Zhang Sheng had heard Li Jun mention it before. As a famous player in Hubei Province football, he has students and disciples all over various clubs. At the same time, he himself also has a great desire to coach. Because of the existence of Longteng Club,
The Hubei Huakel team led by Li Jun failed to successfully advance to the First Division in the first season as historically happened. However, in last year's Second Division League, Huakel still relied on his superior strength in the Second Division team to successfully advance to the First Division.
success.
But the club's survival has always been a big problem. As early as the start of the Second Division last season, there was news that the club would be transferred. No one paid attention to the investment promotion at the beginning of the season, the team lacked funds, and the introduction of domestic and foreign players was in trouble.
In order to save money, the team chose to take the bus to Dongguan for training before the season.
Even after successfully reaching the First Division, the team still could not get rid of the plight of lack of money. At the end of the season, news came again that the club would be transferred. First, it was reported that the club would leave to Xi'an to cooperate with enterprises in Xi'an. Later, media reports said that the negotiations had been completed.
broke up, Xinjiang extended an olive branch to the club. The Sports Bureau of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region will help the club solve problems such as home court, training venue, sponsors, etc. The original investor Jiang Hui still holds full control.
Faced with such a predicament, the club immediately thought of Li Jun, who was in the Longteng team, hoping that he would lead the direct descendants of the team who have been in the team for many years to complete the task of relegation next season, and Li Jun was also completely convinced.
