Chapter 131: Swansea, Is That You?

For fans and the vast majority of office workers, it has now entered the Christmas holiday, which is a time for hilarity, traveling, and family going to the stadium to watch the game and relax.

However, for the club's staff, and for England Club in particular, the Christmas holidays are their busiest time.

Players are busy preparing for the Christmas Devils schedule, and the Christmas holiday is the most exhausting time for players in the Premier League.

And for the club's hierarchy, it's also the beginning of the busiest work.

Melwood Training Ground, Liverpool CEO Peter Brown. Moore's office, the former COO of EA Games is busy, and he has a lot to deal with, especially player contract renewals.

Liverpool have had two seasons in a row, although they lost the league title at the last minute last season, but the league runner-up is also Liverpool's best record in years, and this season, Liverpool is now leading the standings, although the season is still long, but Liverpool looks really hopeful of competing for the league title.

The team has a good record, which is a good thing for the club, but it also means some trouble.

With the team's excellent record, some of the players' agents have begun to tentatively ask the club for salary increases and contract extensions.

Moreover, Peter Moore knows that this is just the beginning, and if Liverpool do win the league title, there will be more players who will have to pay a raise to renew their contracts.

……

For players who still have a long contract, Peter. Moore is not in a hurry and can talk slowly.

However, for those players who only have two or three years left on their contracts, or even just one year left, Liverpool must do something now, especially those who have performed well, and Liverpool must complete contract extension negotiations with them as soon as possible.

Among them, now the most Peter. Moore's headache is Sterling's contract issues.

Raheem Sterling was a Queens Park Rangers Academy player who was later acquired by Liverpool for £600,000 and made his Premier League debut on 24 March 2012 when the 17-year-old and 107-day-old came off the bench to replace Kuyt. At that time, Sterling's weekly salary was a measly £2,000.

Since then, the young Englishman has grown at a rapid pace, with Liverpool leading the Premier League in 2013-/2014 when the SSS duo of Luis Suarez, Raheem Sterling and Sturridge went viral. The 19-year-old contributed nine goals and five assists, was voted Europe's golden boy in 2014, and his weekly salary rose to £40,000.

Raheem Sterling and Liverpool still have two and a half years left on his contract, and two years is a sensitive contract point, so the club naturally hopes to complete the contract extension as soon as possible and lock in the player with a long-term contract.

……

However, the negotiations between Liverpool and Raheem Sterling have been very slow and even stalled.

Raheem Sterling's agent, Ward Ward, has rejected Liverpool's offer of a new contract of £70,000 a week, and has even made a gesture of refusing to continue negotiations.

Peter. Moore will have to figure out whether Sterling's agent's attitude is a gesture to negotiate an asking price or if the player already wants to move away.

Of course, from Liverpool's point of view, they will certainly want to keep on with this talented player.

Peter. Moore dialed Ward's phone, and after some pleasantries, Peter Ward. Moore gave Liverpool's latest offer: £100,000 a week!

At the same time, Peter. Moore specifically pointed out that this price is also the highest Liverpool can offer.

From a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds to a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, the salary has risen to 2.5 times, which will also make Sterling's salary the third highest salary in the Liverpool team after Jiang Chenxi and captain Gerrard.

Peter. Moore believes this latest salary offer should satisfy Sterling...... Liverpool have shown their sincerity.

You must know that Jiang Chenxi is taking Liverpool's maximum salary, which is only 160,000 pounds a week, of course, Liverpool is now ready to renew the contract for the number one star.

……

Burnley, Lancashire, Turf Moore Stadium, North West England.

"Jiang doesn't look too happy." John. Mortensen shook his head and smiled, "If you just look at Jiang's expression at this moment, it is Liverpool who still lost 0-3." ”

On the electronic scoreboard at Turf Moore Stadium:

Burnley 0:3 Liverpool!

In this match in the 18th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool won 3-0 away against Burnley. Johnson and Philippe Coutinho also scored a goal each.

However, Jiang Chenxi didn't seem particularly happy, and didn't seem to be satisfied with this result.

"In today's game, Jiang was always looking for goals and he looked more hungry than ever to score goals." Lineker also said with a smile, "However, I still have to say that this score, as well as the process of the game, should be enough to satisfy Liverpool and Jiang." He scored a beautiful goal-stealing goal and Liverpool won 3-0, so what's not to be happy about? ”

"Don't be too greedy, Jiang." "However, that's exactly what I like about Jiang, he's always hungry, no amount of goals can satisfy him, this is a great goalscorer who chases goals all the time!" He's never satisfied with the status quo, and that's probably why he's been able to score goals and succeed! ”

……

"Okay, Jiang, it's okay to be three to zero, and those who don't know still think you have a grudge against Burnley." Henderson quipped.

Everyone doesn't understand why Jiang Chenxi is so unhappy, 3-0, and he also has a goal in his account, this is a happy score result, why are you not happy?

I didn't hear that Jiang Chenxi and Burnley had a grudge.

"Not enough." Jiang Chenxi muttered.

Everyone doesn't pay attention to this guy anymore, is it really a guy who will feel ashamed when he scores a goal?

This makes everyone feel embarrassed.

It's really not enough.

Jiang Chenxi is a little anxious, he now has a task to complete [creating the record of the largest score win in the Premier League].

The deadline for this task is to be completed within 2014.

After the 18th round of the league match against Burnley, Liverpool only has one league game left in 2014, which is the 19th round of the league between Liverpool and Swansea.

This means that Jiang Chenxi has no choice, there is no way out, and he must complete the task of [creating the record for the largest Premier League win] in the Premier League match with Swansea.

It's a back-to-back battle!

It's the last chance.

Swansea, is that you?

PS: My eyes are so tired, and the words on the screen are white, is there any way to alleviate it?
