From the moment Su Dong stepped into Gamber Sports City, he was obviously aware of the strangeness around him.
Whether it was the security guard at the door, the staff he met on the road, or even when he walked into the locker room, everyone looked at him strangely. He knew this very well and didn't take it seriously.
As usual, I went to the gym and trained with Nuno Cruz and other personal trainers.
They are all a little strange.
"Su, have you read the morning newspaper?" Nuno Cruz asked with concern.
Su Dong looked at him, then at Vito Scala and the others, knowing clearly, he nodded, smiled slightly and said: "I saw it."
"World Sports News?" Vito Scala asked eagerly.
"Yes, they exposed my annual salary." Su Dong still smiled.
"Don't you care?" Nuno Cruz was very nervous.
Nuno Cruz, who has been with Su Dong for many years and has been involved in professional football, knows very well that professional players' contracts are all signed with confidentiality agreements, and no matter how close a friend is, they will not leak it casually.
Give it to the other person.
It can be said that this is the secret of the negotiation.
For example, Su Dong's contract. Everyone knows that he signed a sky-high contract with Barcelona, surpassing Shevchenko again and becoming the highest-paid player in the world. But no one knows that his annual salary is as high as 1,500.
million euros, and that’s after tax.
This is simply unbelievable!
Of course, no one thinks that Su Dong is not worthy of such an annual salary.
Even World Sports, which broke the news, believes that Su Dong's performance in Barcelona is fully worthy of this contract.
Therefore, at best, this revelation will confirm what everyone knew before. At best, it will let the world know how much Su Dong's annual salary is. This will cause some impact, but it will not be too big.
"Laporta called me last night and told me about this matter in advance. He thought it might be the fault of the opposition. He would investigate it as soon as possible and settle the matter so that I don't need to worry.
." Su Dong smiled calmly.
Vito Scala and others suddenly realized this. No wonder Su Dong was so calm as early as possible. It turned out that he knew about it last night.
"Did Laporta say who revealed the news?" Grant Downing asked with concern.
This is tantamount to being a thief. If he is not dug out, no one will be able to rest assured.
"He needs to be investigated. We can only confirm that he is someone from within Barcelona. However, he is not the chairman of Barcelona now and cannot perform the duties of the chairman of Barcelona. Therefore, this matter needs to wait and wait until after the election to make a decision."
According to Barcelona's campaign charter, Laporta and all members of his bureau have resigned. Soriano and others will temporarily maintain the club's operations, but all major decisions need to wait until the presidential election.
In other words, Barcelona is now in a state of anarchy.
"This is definitely planned. They just want to take advantage of this loophole, but it's strange. What does it have to do with you when they choose their chairman?" Vito Scala asked indignantly.
Su Dong is just a football player, why should his annual salary be increased?
"Because he was brought in by Laporta." Nuno Cruz saw it clearly.
Su Dong smiled and nodded at this personal trainer who was both a teacher and a friend, and he was helpless about it.
"This team is so messed up that it's hard to even play the ball!" Vito Scala scolded angrily.
Grant Downing also agreed very much, "If we look for opportunities, let's go to other teams! We can't keep you here. There are so many teams outside that are willing to pay you high salaries. Are you afraid that you won't be able to play football?"
Su Dong smiled and nodded, indicating that they should all get busy.
Leaving Barcelona?
It's not that he didn't think about it, but this was the last step he had to take.
The reason is very simple. The upgrade requirement given by the Road to Football King system is three consecutive championships. As long as he wins three consecutive championships, he will meet the requirements for upgrading to the Football King. This is the most attractive thing for him right now.
of.
It’s hard to win two consecutive championships. If you leave at this time, wouldn’t all your previous efforts be wasted?
Besides, after leaving Barcelona, giving up the two consecutive championships that were finally won, and starting over with other teams, which team can guarantee to win three consecutive championships?
After working hard for two years, he was a little unwilling to give up now.
And Laporta also made a promise last night. Santi Nola, the editor-in-chief of World Sports News, told him that the anonymous letter only revealed Su Dong’s annual contract salary, so he only disclosed the annual contract salary and did not know anything else.
Su Dong felt a little relieved.
If Laporta wins the presidential election and settles this matter, then the possibility of Barcelona winning the Champions League again is very high, and Sudong really has no reason to give up at this time.
…
Vito Scala and Grant Downing went to work, but Nuno Cruz sat closer.
"Is it troublesome?" Nuno Cruz asked with concern.
Su Dong was a little surprised, and soon smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you."
"I have known you for so many years, but Vito and Grant don't understand you, and I still don't understand you?" Nuno Cruz also laughed, but his eyes were full of concern.
"It's a bit troublesome." Su Dong sighed.
"How to say?"
"There are very sensitive contents in the terms of my contract. If it gets out, I may not be able to reach the level of a public enemy, but it will be close. There will definitely be many people who will use this to attack me crazily, especially some radical elements."
Su Dong has always been unwilling to get involved in this kind of ZZ incident, but in Barcelona, this is not an easy thing to do.
Nuno Cruz understood what Su Dong was talking about. They had discussed this matter before. He also knew what Su Dong was avoiding, but he didn't expect that it was written into the contract.
Of course, this is understandable in the first place, because the contract is meant to be kept confidential.
Who knew that it would suddenly be exposed now?
This is illegal and criminal behavior!
"So now does the whistleblower get all the contents of the contract? Or does he only know your annual salary?" Nuno Cruz asked with concern.
"This is exactly what I'm worried about." Su Dong was a little worried, "According to Santi Nola's statement to Laporta, the anonymous letter only mentioned the annual salary. He also verified it and did not intend to explode it at first.
, but soon received a second anonymous letter, demanding that it be revealed immediately, so I called Laporta in advance to get some relief."
"Can Santi Nora's words be trusted?"
Su Dong shook his head, "I don't know, but there's nothing we can do about it. Whether it's trustworthy or not, we can't control it. And there's an anonymous person behind it. How much does he know?"
Nuno Cruz also felt a headache. "Is there any way to apply to the court to prohibit the media from breaking the details of the contract?"
"I asked a lawyer and they said that there is no way to completely control it, but it might attract more attention.
There is no three hundred taels of silver here.
If the other party really only knew the annual salary and broke the news to World Sports, wouldn't Su Dong's fuss make the media more interested?
"When you put it like that, this matter is really troublesome."
Many people believe that the exposure of Su Dong's annual contract salary will most likely trigger protests in the locker room, especially from stars such as Ronaldinho, but Su Dong is still confident about this.
Maybe they will have grudges, but they won't have much reaction, because Su Dong believes that they all know his contribution in Barcelona during the past two years, and he believes that he deserves every penny of salary he received.
.
The most troublesome may be Laporta and other management teams, because they have completely broken Barcelona's salary structure system.
This is what Su Dong is guessing now.
Does the other side want to use this to attack Laporta instead of Su Dong?
Nuno Cruz sighed, "I really can't stay in this kind of place anymore!"
Su Dong nodded and patted Nuno Cruz on the shoulder, "Keep on holding on and let's finish this season!"
Although Nuno Cruz didn't know why he finished the season, he still respected Su Dong's opinion.
…………
…………
As World Sports exposed Su Dong's annual salary, it attracted strong attention from the outside world.
An annual salary of 15 million euros after tax is a sky-high price for any wealthy team.
You know, Shevchenko's annual salary when he came to Chelsea was only 10 million euros, Ronaldinho's annual salary on the same team was only 8 million euros, and players such as Puyol and Deco even only had 5 million euros.
, but Su Dong received a full 15 million euros.
But things are just as Su Dong said, he deserves this annual salary.
After the media broke the news, various parties commented one after another, but basically they did not think there was anything wrong with Su Dong receiving this annual salary.
More fingers are pointed at former chairman Laporta and his team, believing that they did not pay more attention to other players. Even World Sports News believes that compared to Su Dong, Ronaldinho won more
It's a little less.
But Laporta's troubles have nothing to do with Sudong.
Taking advantage of a training opportunity, Su Dong also had a special chat with Ronaldinho and Puyol. Both of them also said that they would not have any objection to Su Dong because of this. After all, this is the responsibility of the club management.
matter.
But all three of them have a very clear attitude, that is, the media's revelations must not be accepted.
Both Puyol and Ronaldinho have publicly stood up and criticized Mundo Deportivo's behavior, believing it to be disrespectful to the players and contemptuous of justice.
Su Dong also stated that he refused to express any opinions on the revelations and reserved the right to pursue legal responsibility.
Many media outlets have also come forward to criticize World Sports News' actions and believe that this behavior is not worthy of respect.
But just when Barcelona was going to Monaco and Su Dong was preparing to attend the UEFA annual awards ceremony and compete in the European Super Cup, World Sports once again broke the news in the name of an anonymous person.
This time they revealed more terms in Su Dong's contract, including appearance fees, goal bonuses, championship bonuses, etc. They also broke the news that Su Dong received nearly 10 million euros in bonuses alone last season.
That’s more than Ronaldinho’s annual salary.
Now everyone is uneasy.
If there was a gap before, but it was acceptable, now everyone has discovered that the gap is a bit big, right?
Su Dong's agent Mendes immediately came forward to clarify, saying that Su Dong's bonus was large because he scored many goals.
But this still couldn't stop the media's heated discussion.
Su Dong is now 100% sure that the other party has indeed obtained his contract.
