Chapter 16 Salary Increases and Promotions

Li Qingshan was thoughtful.

Raiola sat up straight and said in a serious tone: "Although it has only been a season, your contribution to Manchester United is obvious to all, and now in terms of tactics, Manchester United can no longer do without you." But in the dressing room, you're more of a newcomer. Today, I wouldn't say you're going to fight for the title of King of Old Trafford, but at the very least, you need the club's public support – my thinking is that if you're going to stay at United for a long time, then this season you're going to have to be the captain and when Carrick retires, you're the logical leader of Manchester United, both on the pitch and in the dressing room! ”

Li Qingshan nodded slightly, he understood the meaning of Raiola's words.

A player's status in the team means the importance of the player. In some teams, those important players can even express their opinions on transfer issues, asking for players who can inspire themselves to play better.

"Miha, I agree with your idea. Until then, my focus was on myself, I did everything I had, I did better, I made myself stronger. But that doesn't mean I'll be back down on something, I'll claim the waters for everything I've had. Li Qingshan said with a firm gaze.

Raiola was delighted, he finally saw in Li Qingshan's eyes the aggressiveness that erupted in things other than football. In his opinion, Li Qingshan in the past had a very typical Chinese personality, low-key and unassuming. But on the football field, low-key, modesty is not a good quality, it is a sport that requires aggressiveness, he needs all the investment of ambition and desire, he does not pay attention to democracy, he eats the law of the jungle, he is hierarchical!

This conversation made Li Qingshan more clear about the path he was going to take.

Speaking to the media at Carrington Base at the end of the day's training session, Li Qingshan said: "Many people say that after winning the treble, Manchester United, which has suddenly climbed to the heights, will have a downhill slope, which is completely nonsense, we still maintain our desire, we have a complete squad and full of fighting spirit." Pogba, you say? Of course I welcome him, he's a good player and he'll help us in midfield. ”

This is the first time Li Qingshan has been interviewed by the media as the team's boss, but it does not make people feel abrupt, in fact, many people even think that this scene came a little late.

.......

Pogba's transfer negotiations proceeded in an orderly manner, and as a result, a salary increase for Li Qingshan was put on the agenda.

Edward Wood called Raiola to his office to discuss Li's contract.

After the departure of Wayne Rooney and other old courtiers, Manchester United's wage budget has freed up a lot of space, so this time, Edwardwood is very confident.

Sandeko received Raiola very warmly, although he wanted to vomit when he saw Raiola's fat face, but as a businessman, Sandeko did a flawless job in this regard, at least judging from the smile on his face, you can never see Sandeko's dislike for Raiola.

In the transfer of Pogba, Sandezi was fiercely scraped by this big fat man, and gave Pogba a weekly salary of 300,000, which is completely the bottom line in Sandezi's heart, if it weren't for this bottom line, Sandezi never mentioned it to anyone, otherwise, Sandezi would have to suspect whether there was a mole in the Manchester United club.

However, now Sandezi also has to call this big fat man to his office, because he must not cause Li Qingshan's backlash after introducing Pogba - who knows what kind of moth this annoying fat man will instigate the players to do.

There is no opinion on Li Qingshan's salary increase, Manchester United won the treble last season, and the player who contributed the most can be seen at a glance, and because of the existence of Li Qingshan, Manchester United's income soared by nearly 200 million last season, in addition to winning the Champions League in terms of competition and receiving a large amount of bonuses, more importantly, the performance of the Chinese market is gratifying - the sales of genuine jerseys in China in the past are very bleak, because many Chinese fans still buy pirated jerseys.

But since last season, sales of United's number nine shirt have exploded, with most of them coming from China.

And this time in China, Manchester United also successfully won several major cooperation projects and made a lot of money.

Therefore, stabilizing Li Qingshan, in addition to continuing to maintain strong competitiveness in competition, in business, Manchester United has also benefited a lot.

Now Manchester United has begun to mobilize its own media power and go all out to build momentum for Li Qingshan.

originally thought that with personal data and the honor of the treble, winning this year's Golden Ball Award was not too suspenseful, but in this summer European Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal reached the final, defeated the host French team, and won the European Cup, which made the Golden Ball also suspenseful.

Ronaldo became famous earlier than Li Qingshan, and in addition to Portugal winning the European Cup, his personal data is also quite dazzling, so this golden ball does not look too stable.

Manchester United are certainly hoping that their players will lift the Ballon d'Or – which means that they also have some of the best players in the world in their squad, which will be of considerable benefit to United's status and marketing.

Sandeko didn't say too much to Raiola, he went straight to the point and took out a new contract and put it in front of Raiola.

Raiola read the contract with a blank face.

350,000 a week's salary, which is within Raiola's psychological range.

He got straight to the point with Sandezi and said: "Last season, Li Qingshan's contribution to Manchester United's brilliant achievements was undoubtedly the greatest. Without Li Qingshan, Manchester United will not be able to win the treble, even if it is the league championship. Now, I hope Manchester United can give Li Qingshan a clear position and express their support for his place in the dressing room. He's a world-class star and United should treat him better than any other player. I think Li Qingshan should be the most important player in the Manchester United squad right now, and that needs to be in the salary, in the dressing room, and the club needs to show that. ”

Santokuko frowned, Raiola's request was clear, but he was not "greedy" at all

The matter in the locker room is the authority of the head coach, and after communicating with Ancelotti on the phone, Sandezi pondered for a while and said: "Next season, Li Qingshan will be the vice-captain of Manchester United!" ”

Raiola nodded in satisfaction, his goal had been achieved. Li Qingshan still has four years left in his contract, and he has increased his weekly salary by 100,000 at once, which is already very large.
