395 The future of the veteran
βweishenmeοΌβ
Rister has been supporting Dortmund all this time. Historically, Dortmund did not lie down, but now that there are so many changes, who can guarantee that Dortmund really does not lie down.
After all, Dortmund spent more money than it did in history, and its salaries were much higher than in history. It's all because Lister stuffed high-paid players like Poboski and Rosicky into Dortmund. In Dortmund's history, Dortmund did not have a player with an annual salary of more than three million euros at its peak.
But now it's different. Like Rosicky and Poboski, they are all high-paid players with an annual salary of more than three million. And because their salaries are high, the salaries of other players are also high, resulting in a sharp increase in the entire Dortmund salary system. At present, Dortmund has an annual salary of more than one million, and it is not one or two that reach two million euros. So much so that Dortmund's overall salary this season exceeded more than 70 million euros, nearly 80 million euros. Such a high salary is very rare even among the top teams in the Premier League. In the Bundesliga, it is only less than Bayern, and even a local tycoon like Wolfsburg is not as good as Dortmund's salary.
Such a big burden makes Dortmund breathless now. Dortmund's income in a year can't even afford to pay the salaries of the club's players. Lister is really afraid that if this continues, Dortmund will really go bankrupt, and the money that Lister lent to Dortmund will not be found, and all the energy that Lister put in Dortmund will be wasted. After all, once Dortmund goes bankrupt, Rist is very low in Dortmund's debt system. The money is paid to those financial institutions first. Lister's private debts are hard to come by.
So this time Rist is really diligent. Help Dortmund to renew and clean up some of the high-paid players. Like Amoruso, when he first introduced, he was not only very valuable, but also had a very high salary. Amoruso is one of the few players with a salary of more than two million euros. Rist's point is simple: Borussia Dortmund must clean up such players if they want to survive. Of course, it will not be easy to clean them up, and there are some downturns in the European football transfer market right now, and not many clubs are willing to pay Amoruso such a high salary. So the negotiations are very difficult, but they have to go on.
Then Riester introduced Dortmund to players at a good price. Rister has plenty of players in this regard, and Rister can give Borussia Dortmund an unclear number of good players from the Netherlands, France and Germany. Their low value and low salaries will not only allow Dortmund to raise large sums of money in the transfer market, but also cut salaries significantly. One comes and one goes. It can save Dortmund tens of millions of euros. Although it is impossible to get out of the current predicament of Dortmund. But it will also greatly reduce the risk of them going bankrupt.
Rist was busy in Dortmund, but he didn't expect Pobosky to find Rist, and he also gave Rist a big surprise.
"Karel, there's no need for this. I'm here. Don't say Dortmund. Even Real Madrid can't let my players be wronged. Those things are what you deserve. β
Poboski approached Rist today to tell him that he wanted to leave Dortmund. At present, Pobosky and Dortmund only have one year left on their contracts, and Dortmund is reluctant to renew Pobosky's contract. Because Poboski is currently the highest-paid player at Borussia Dortmund. The annual salary reached 3.7 million euros.
Pobosky is thirty-one years old this year, and although his strength is still strong, he is already very old after all. But even so, Dortmund's current situation is unlikely to pay Poboski such a high salary. Not to mention Borussia Dortmund, no current big club in European football would give such a high salary to a player who is almost 32 years old. There are not many players in European football with a salary of more than 3.7 million euros.
Borussia Dortmund are waiting, waiting for this contract to end. If Poboski is willing to take a pay cut, then then Borussia could extend his contract. If Poboski is not willing to take a pay cut, or if the amount of the cut is too small, then Borussia will not renew his contract.
Rist doesn't care. Rist is a drag, and it is difficult for Poboski to get such a high salary in European football now, he is already in his thirties, and the annual salary of 3.7 million euros is very good. So Rist wants Pobosky to complete the contract. He was only thirty-two years old after fulfilling this contract, and there were many other ways.
At the age of thirty-two, although he is old, with Poboski's strength and fame, he can still find a club in Europe's top five leagues. And because he is a free agent, even if he can't get too much salary, there is no problem with about two million euros. Pobosky's development was all thought out by Lister. I didn't expect Pobosky to want to leave Dortmund now.
"Lister, I know what you say, I know it. I'm not a kid either, so I came out to help them when the club was in trouble, and I wasn't that kind. It's just that I'm tired. Do you know? The dressing room at Dortmund was in the mood for a game. When I was in Barcelona, there were too many factions in the dressing room, they were not convincing, and the manager couldn't hold it down, which made me feel very tired. And Dortmund is now in a bad economic situation, and the bonuses have been cancelled. The players in the dressing room were listless and no one wanted to play. I just can't stand this oppressive atmosphere. β
Pobosky complained to Rist in a rare way. Dortmund were unsuccessful in their last attempt to take a pay cut, but Mayer cancelled all the bonuses for the players. The previous championship bonuses and winning bonuses have all been canceled, and even the goal bonuses and assist bonuses in the contract have also been canceled.
Lister blocked a pay cut, but he couldn't afford to lose face to Dortmund. So when Dortmund proposed to change the terms of the contract, Lister had no choice but to agree. It's easy to cancel these bonuses, but it's hard to win people's hearts. These players disagreed with the boss when the club wanted to take a pay cut, and in the end they were not able to take a pay cut, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the club canceled all those bonuses, leaving the players listless.
The players are all eating youth. When I was young, I wanted to earn money and then secure my life after retirement. It's a pity that Dortmund first made a salary cut, and then canceled the bonus, and the players were numb.
"Karel, Dortmund has come to this point?"
Rist was surprised. Although Rist thought that the morale of the Dortmund players should not be high, he did not expect it to reach this point. In the past, Lister also didn't understand that although Dortmund had financial problems, the strength of Dortmund's players was still very strong. But Weishenme's strong Dortmund results will get worse and worse.
It's ridiculous to think about it now. Once the club has financial problems, even if it has not directly affected the interests of the players, the players will start to worry. Once the players are not fully engaged in the game, how can the club's results be good.
"Lister, more serious than I said, the Dortmund players don't have the heart to play. I think it's better than I have been fighting in the locker room. I just don't want to be here anymore. β
"Karel, do you know how much you have to lose by leaving Dortmund?"
Rist let out a long sigh. Now the initiative is in Poboski's hands, as long as Poborski wants to release Zuihou's one-year contract, Dortmund will definitely be desperate. But then Pobosky's interests would have suffered.
"I'm not rich, but I've made a lot of money. And I've won quite a few championships, which is enough. Now I just want to play quietly and happily. I don't want to play at a club like Borussia Dortmund. β
Rist didn't know what to say. Dortmund bastard, Pobosky's willingness to leave voluntarily does not know how much burden is reduced to them. Rist thought for a moment and asked, "Karel, have you ever thought about playing in Asia?" β
"China?"
As for Poboski, all he knows is that Nemechek is going to play in China. Therefore, when Rist talks about playing in Asia, the first thing that comes to mind is China.
"No, I'm talking about the Middle East. It's like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries, their clubs are rich. They also give a high salary, if you used to estimate that the annual salary was not under four million euros. If you're interested, I can get in touch with you. No, the major leagues in the United States can do it, and their salaries will not be too low. β
Pobosky's salary has never been too low. However, they are all at the end of their careers, and it is not a big problem to think about life after retirement. Shijie football doesn't know how many superstars are like this. At the end of his career, he went to Qatar in the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates, or to the Major League Soccer to pan for gold. Compared to them, Pobosky is currently only thirty-one years old, which cannot be said to be too old. There is still a chance to get a good contract of about three years.
"Forget it, Riester. It's not like you don't know me. Asia was so new to me that I didn't want to adapt to an unfamiliar place at the end of my career. β
"So what do you mean ......"
"I want to go back to the Czech Republic, I want to go back to Prague."
Back to the Czech Republic, back to Prague. Reese nodded, and Pobosky understood what Lister meant. Pobosky wanted to go back to Sparta Prague.
That is, Pobosky, who is only thirty-one years old. For many players, although the peak of 31 years old has begun to pass, it has not reached the point of retirement. Unexpectedly, Pobosky already wanted to go home. But Rist can understand that Pobosky is such a character.
"Okay, Karel. You just wait for my news, and I'll do it. β
It can only be cheap Dortmund. Poboski's return to the Czech Republic may be beneficial for the development of the Czech league. It's time to think about it. (To be continued......)
PS: There is only one shift today. I really didn't expect to write a lot of opinions yesterday, and after I read it, I thought about it a lot, and I couldn't write it today. Maybe yesterday's episode hurt some fans, but I can't help it. Except for some details that are added temporarily, the other main contexts of the book have already been drafted and cannot be changed. I can only say sorry.
