Mister Legend

Chapter 616
The performance of scoring four goals in two consecutive games also indicates that the overall competitive state of Real Madrid players has begun to improve significantly, which is definitely a good thing for the team's next game tasks, but in the eyes of the coaching staff , still needs to be closely watched, because there are still two or three months before the real decisive stage at the end of the season, and everything is still hard to say.

The most ideal situation is to usher in a small outbreak period first to deal with the upcoming strong opponents in the domestic league, and then return to the adjustment period until the UEFA Champions League semi-finals start in mid-April and enter the final extreme high // Tide period, and continues until the end of the season.It's just that this situation is obviously a product of Real Madrid's YY. Even with the most advanced and scientific training plan and other assistance, no one can control the player's state trend. It can only be said to intervene as much as possible. Even Li Modi, who has a plug-in, doesn't have much to do. Who makes him not have the luck of "Li Tongfan" to have that omnipotent modifier.

Although the competitive state seems to be mainly related to the training and health of the players, in fact, there are still many factors that can affect it, and the degree varies from person to person, and there is no obvious rule at all.

For example, in terms of the amateur activity that is loved by people all over the world (for some people it may be a profession), some players are used to abstaining from sex for a few days before the game in order to preserve sufficient physical fitness and energy, and some People, on the other hand, insist on having sex before the game, and claim that it can keep them excited, which is good for the game.

For many years, scientific research has not been able to prove whether this "consumption" will affect the performance of players on the field, so whether to abstain from sex before the game has become a controversial topic.Some old-school head coaches will still exercise strict restraint, but as more and more new-generation coaches take the center stage, especially the emergence of many players who have transformed into coaches, the paternalistic discipline of the previous Ferguson era Ideas are no longer popular.

However, regardless of whether other factors will have a greater impact on the players' competitive state, morale and emotions are recognized as the key to making a huge difference in the performance of players. Therefore, for the team and even the entire club, how to ensure They can maintain these two aspects to a positive level, which is the object that all staff, including the head coach, need to focus on.

It’s just that Real Madrid is now facing a big crisis, because according to the club’s plan, large-scale contract renewal negotiations have already begun in mid-February, and there will inevitably be some differences or contradictions, which will definitely affect the current situation. The mood of the players makes it difficult for them to concentrate on the game.

According to the common sense in the football circle, the summer and autumn seasons of each year are the peak periods for contract renewals. The main reason is that they can be used as rewards for players' outstanding performance in previous seasons.However, there are also many cases to prevent players with only the last year of their contracts from being able to negotiate free transfers with other clubs after New Year's Day of the next year. It is an act to prevent the team from suffering losses.

But there are exceptions to everything. The reason why Raul and Hierro chose to start large-scale contract renewal negotiations during this time period was based on the situation of the Galaxy Battleship itself.

First of all, after Li Mudi entered the Bernabeu in the summer of 2024, the first team ushered in a collective contract renewal behavior in the following summer. Signing a new contract after one year is definitely not acceptable to the club. Afterwards, there was strong opposition from many agents, so in order to maintain the atmosphere in the team, I chose to negotiate the next contract when the old contract was implemented to about 20 months, which is acceptable to both parties, and then Strive to complete all tasks within one to two months to lay a good foundation for the sprint at the end of the season.

Secondly, doing so can also save some wage costs for Real Madrid. With the Double Crown already within reach this season and the Triple Crown promising, once June really achieves excellent results, Then the asking prices of these heroes are very likely to be sky-high one by one, even the top giants can hardly bear it.This is also one of the reasons why the hugely successful dynasty teams always fall apart quickly. After all, with the development of the times, players' salaries and bonuses have become the club's main expenditure items. It can even reach 65% in the local tyrants, which brings too much burden.

Although Real Madrid has always been one of the clubs with the best commercial development in world football, and is a super gold-absorbing body that competes with Manchester United for the top spot in the annual revenue list every year, the cost of being unable to support the big business is not small.For example, in order to maintain the face of the world's most wealthy family, even the coffee for serving guests is purchased from the place of origin. It is not only understandable that this "ostentatious" consumption figure has always remained high.Under the premise that it is impossible to reduce expenditure at all, and even the expenditure will gradually increase every year, clubs that have achieved close to the extreme in terms of open source are also facing a lot of financial pressure.

In order to maintain sufficient competitiveness, the team's sufficient funds for signings must be guaranteed, and UEFA's financial fairness policy is closely guarded, which makes Raul, the chairman, quite painful. After all, he It's not a business tycoon like Lafayette, who can occasionally use some capital operations to help the club solve some troubles.

In the case that the landlord's family does not have much surplus food, it has become the common dream of all clubs to reduce the wages of players as much as possible. However, due to the impact of the fierce competition environment, so far, there is no such team. Will it be able to achieve this goal?While each big-name star has become a super-rich man, the clubs that should have dominated have repeatedly fallen into financial crisis. This is one of the ills brought about by capital entering the football circle.No wonder many people were saying before that those Wall Street people know nothing else, they are a group of saboteurs, and the industries touched by them cannot escape the fate of bankruptcy settlement in the end.

However, negotiation is a process in which the two parties reach an agreement. The club wants to save money, but the players and the agents behind them are not willing, especially when there is no shortage of suitors behind these stars. It is impossible to make them willingly make some concessions.This is not to say that they all intend to leave Real Madrid, no one is a fool, how could they leave the top team in the world when the team is in full swing.Instead, there are other options as a cover, so that the players' agents dare to put on a tough stance at the negotiating table, and it is impossible for the club to easily achieve their goals.

So half a month after the contract renewal work started, apart from the Real Madrid youth academy headed by Fabas and Marcos Llorente, they all confirmed through simple negotiations that they will sign a new contract soon. Negotiations among six generals in the team have come to an impasse, especially Asensio, the leader of the local players. His agent, the famous Spanish football tycoon Gagilio, personally issued a warning to Hierro. The Real Madrid club cannot provide his client with a new contract that meets his status in accordance with normal international standards, so what kind of rumors will spread in the transfer market this summer is beyond their control.

The director of Real Madrid was naturally very annoyed by what could be called a threat, but he couldn't face the greed of the other party, because there was nothing to blame for Gaglio's words, and they were all facts.Several giants such as Juventus, Manchester City and Manchester United have always maintained a strong interest in Asensio. The quotations are all large sums of more than [-] million euros, showing that the Spanish star's ability has indeed been affirmed by the whole world.

Moreover, judging from the information given by the FM system and scouting tools, among the giants with an existing ability of more than 180, Asensio's annual salary level is indeed at the last level, even higher than the current highest salary. Woodburn is almost a third less, a situation clearly unbearable for the former.In fact, even in the Real Madrid team, this local player can only be tied for second place with the team captain Varane in terms of salary, and in front of them is the club's top figure Mbappé.

Excluding the French veteran central defender who is obviously paid because of his qualifications and rewards, Ah and Mu have actually always existed in the team in a competitive posture, and both of them have the core tactically. Under the premise of status, the annual salary has become a favorable basis for proving who is the top brother of Real Madrid, but in this respect, Asensio is obviously the one who has the upper hand.

Since both of them established their main positions in the team in the 2019-20 season, the Spaniard's contract value has been slightly behind that of the French prodigy. There is an inseparable relationship between the age difference of nearly three years.Everyone can see at a glance that Mbappe, who was born at the end of 1999, has undoubtedly greater training potential than Asensio, who was born at the beginning of 1996. Naturally, the treatment given will not be the same. The local king who wants to replace Ronaldo as the next generation of Real Madrid's "hands-on" is very angry.

In the past few years, this star, who is recognized as the core figure of the national team, has been rumored to transfer with other foreign teams almost every summer, but due to various reasons, it has not happened. There is no small connection between team loyalty and affection.Only this time, Asensio, who has already passed his 30th birthday, has no time to choose to swallow his anger. He has to be tough at the age when he can sign the last top contract, so that the Real Madrid executives can confirm that he is in the team. Even if it is tied for the top card position, it must be treated accordingly, isn't it?

From this point of view, Li Mudi and others understand his decision very well, but the attitude shown by Gagilio is a bit too strong, with an annual salary of 4000 million, a signing fee of 1500 million, and various incentives that add up to more than 800 million. The request made Raul and Hierro not know how to open their mouths even if they wanted to bargain.Although these figures are in principle affordable by the Galaxy Battleship, which is in a fairly good economic situation, if such a sky-high contract is agreed, then the rest of the players who are still on the sidelines will inevitably increase their contract renewal conditions , thus bringing huge new expenses to the club.

The performance of Tottenham and Paris has declined in the past two years. In addition to the major problems in the lineup structure, their salary expenditure is too large, which severely squeezes other aspects, especially the transfer expenses. There is an inevitable relationship, and with these two lessons in front of us, Real Madrid must not allow similar things to happen to them.

Therefore, on the issue of the contract renewal of the local leader in the team, there was a huge disagreement between the two sides, which led to the negotiations that had been going on for more than ten days and were put on hold before the arrival of the last Sunday in February. Rumors that Asensio's talks with Real Madrid collapsed and he was about to leave the Bernabeu seriously affected the team's preparations, and Li Mudi, who was busy with many work and personal affairs, was furious.

On the night of the 22nd, Real Madrid is about to usher in the second Madrid derby in the league this season at their home court. Although their current lead is enough to make people feel extremely reassured, the opponent's recent state has also appeared unstable. , Judging from the pre-match analysis, the difficulty of winning should not be particularly high.But the derby is different, and it is impossible to use common sense to infer the process of the game and what will happen as a result.

After this game of focus, it was the first time since the end of the winter break that no mid-week game assignments were scheduled. Li Moody is planning to use this rare opportunity to make a major adjustment to the team's state, preparing to improve morale and strengthen physical fitness. On the one hand, a wave of measures will be implemented so that the players can survive the relatively loose schedule in the future, and can reduce the hidden danger of injury during the national team match day in March. Sprint behind the scenes.

However, in the Saturday morning training, the performance of the Real Madrid players disappointed the entire coaching staff, and various low-level mistakes continued to appear in the tactical drills.What is even more unbearable is that there seems to be a gap between foreign players such as Mbappe and Rodrygo among the local gang headed by Asensio. The efficient and tacit cooperation in the past has been greatly reduced, which directly leads to The tactics arranged by the head coach can't be realized. If Li Mudi doesn't show his power, he really can't kick the ball.
