Chapter 454 Salary Raise Gift Package!
On January 1, the fourth round of the FA Cup will hit. Manchester City will go to Selhurst Park in south London to face Crystal Palace in this round.

There is no seeding team in the FA Cup, and the opponents and home and away games are completely determined by drawing lots.

This round of Manchester City's luck is not bad, they have won the Crystal Palace, but they have to play away.

At present, the 22nd round of the Premier League is over, because Swansea in the away game blasted Liverpool 3-2 at Anfield, and Crystal Palace lost 0-1 to Everton, so they are currently ranked third from the bottom in the standings. fell into the relegation zone.

In addition, the Champions League quarter-finals are approaching, and the next Premier League schedule is not very friendly to Manchester City, and they have to beat strong opponents, so Guardiola has carried out a large-scale rotation in this FA Cup game.

Because of this, Chu Zheng didn't even make the roster for the competition, but he was also happy to relax.

Because today happens to be New Year's Eve in the Chinese lunar calendar.

During the festive season, Chu Zheng misses his family a lot, and at this time of year, Chu Zheng is very homesick, wishing to leave everything behind and return home.

But this year is even more deserted, not only the four brothers couldn't get together because of the competition, even the tigress in the family took 20 days of annual leave and went back to China.

In the morning, Chu Zheng looked a little listless when he woke up.

After washing up, Mi Mi sat on the living room sofa in a daze with her eyes wide open.

After a while, Lai Fu, Ba Wan, and Chang Wei jumped out of nowhere.

Perhaps because he noticed that Chu Zheng was in a low mood today, these three dogs were extraordinarily well-behaved today.

Three Gouzi came to Chu Zheng's knee and rubbed his thigh, and licked that one, wagging his tail quickly.

Chu Zheng reached out and rubbed the dogs' heads one by one, and said with a smile, "Are you three dogs trying to comfort me?"

Seeing Chu Zheng smile, San Gouzi, who sensed the change in his master's mood, wagged his tail even faster.

After the words fell, the doorbell was suddenly rang.

Chu Zheng picked up the mobile phone on the sofa, opened the door monitoring app, and saw Mario jumping around the door and waving at him, smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Opening the courtyard door directly on the mobile phone, Chu Zheng collapsed on the sofa.

After a while, there was the sound of some heavy footsteps, and then Mario's bear-like figure appeared.

"Mario, I'm not in a good mood today. If you don't want to be beaten, you'd better not tell me that you have another job or some weird endorsement!" Chu Zheng looked at Mario who walked into the living room with a smile on his face. Said.

Half a month ago, this guy dug a crater for him, fooling him into accepting a brand endorsement from Balenciaga.

As a result, I didn't expect to have a wave of shows at Paris Fashion Week.

It made Chu Zheng feel awkward after he came to the stage. If it weren't for the fact that he walked 50 euros per meter, Chu Zheng would have smashed this fat man who was becoming more and more a thief.

Hearing this, Mario thought of Chu Zheng's stiff steps on the stage, and immediately became overjoyed.

Chu Zheng was so angry that he threw the pillow over.

"I didn't lie to you, you promised it yourself." Mario took the pillow and sat down opposite, with an expression of blaming me.

"But you didn't tell me that you were going to wear underwear." Chu Zheng didn't get angry when he mentioned this.

Fortunately, it was just a pair of fancy boxer shorts, otherwise he would definitely beat this guy up afterward.

"Haha!" Mario leaned back and burst into laughter, "Chu, you didn't see the expressions on those women's faces when they saw your figure, I guarantee they are secretly swallowing, wishing to swallow you in one gulp?"

"Fake squid!" Chu Zheng laughed angrily, but it should be said or not, the money is quite easy to earn.

After arguing with Chu Zheng, Mario smiled and said, "Chu, before I go to see Begiristan, I need you to know your plans for the future."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng was stunned.

After hesitating for a while, Chu Zheng smiled and said: "If their request is not too much, then I will agree. I am very happy staying in Manchester City."

Just before the match against Tottenham, Chu Zheng met with Manchester City Sports Director Begiristan.

Good thing!

Manchester City will give Chu Zheng a big gift package with a salary increase.

But Chu Zheng is also very clear that Manchester City wants to renegotiate a new contract and increase their right to speak about his future in the contract, so as to restrain him and prevent him from being suddenly poached by other wealthy clubs.

Chu Zheng personally has no opinion.

He is very comfortable here.

Moreover, if Manchester City wants to increase its voice, it will inevitably pay a corresponding price.

If the liquidated damages clause, which is not common in the Premier League, is used, and the higher the liquidated damages are set, then his salary and bonuses will also increase significantly.

In the contract with Manchester City last summer, although Chu Zheng's annual salary has shrunk due to portrait rights, the various bonuses have not been reduced much.

Since the start of this season, Chu Zheng's weekly pre-tax salary has actually exceeded 15 pounds per week if the goals and assist bonuses for each game are counted.

If there are double matches in a week, and Zhou Chuzheng has more assists and goals, his weekly salary can even be as much as 25 pounds before tax.

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Mario nodded, knowing the scale of the new contract negotiation.

But Mario is not prepared to make things easier for Manchester City.

He had to bite off a big mouthful of meat, Manchester City was too fat.

Besides, now he also has the confidence.

Chu Zheng's current double data of 17 Premier League goals and 18 Premier League assists is his best negotiating weapon.

He would be a fool if he didn't take the opportunity to bite Manchester City.

In Mario's view, as long as he speaks just right, there is a high probability that Manchester City will not refuse.

Because if you count the UEFA Champions League and England's domestic cup, Chu Zheng's personal data will be even more terrifying.

So far, Chu Zheng has scored 25 goals and 23 assists for Manchester City in half a season.

It only took Chu Zheng half a season for such a data.

What about the second half of the season?
Chu Zheng's current state is recognized as stable in Europe.

Therefore, if the second half of the season is carried out without being affected by injuries, even if his scoring and assist efficiency fluctuates due to fatigue at the end of the season, it is estimated that he will maintain a certain scoring and assist efficiency.

Once Chu Zheng rewrites both the total number of goals and total assists for the season to 30+ or ​​40+, it means that Chu Zheng has come under the altar built by Messi in 2012 and has the ability to To challenge Messi's qualifications, he may be the second player to ascend to the altar after Messi.

The reason why Messi is a god is because since the beginning of the 2008-09 season, his goals and assists every season have reached a terrifying level.

His craziest season was 2011-12.

That season Messi created a unique single-season scoring record in football history.

Messi played a total of 60 games throughout the season. Including the national team's games, he scored a total of 83 goals and even assisted 34, making a total of 117 goals.

This is a piece of god-level data that can be kept dusty for at least half a century.

In the next few seasons, Messi still played double data at the sky-defying level every year.

Therefore, once the number of goals and assists of Chu Zheng can both break through to 30 or 40 after the end of this season, then Chu Zheng with such a super data can not only directly hit the Golden Globe Award, but also directly own the demigod. golden body.

And this kind of super player with the potential to become a god, unless the management of the Manchester City club is a group of imbeciles, they will definitely keep Chu Zheng at all costs.

You must know that Chu Zheng is only 22 years old now.

From the analysis of Chu Zheng's performance in the past two seasons when he set foot in professional football, his season in Manchester City is likely to be far from his peak period.

In Mario's eyes, the most precious thing about Chu Zheng is that people can't see the upper limit.

In fact, this is why Guardiola knows that putting Chu Zheng in the midfield can stabilize Manchester City's defense, but he is unwilling to do so.

In addition to worrying about the reduction of the team's frontcourt offensive efficiency when Chu Zheng withdraws, he also wants to see if he can train another player at the top level.

In Guardiola's view, Chu Zheng has the potential to become a historical star.

It's rare to meet a seedling who is rare in the talented world, and his hands itch.
