The day after tomorrow, he will go to the Czech Republic to challenge Libichen Victory, which is not suitable for too intense training. However, Yang Feng still has to be a substitute in this game. His playing time is only 45 minutes, so he habitually stays at the end for extra time. After practicing for a while, I left the training base.
I returned to my rented single apartment and called home.
Both parents are ordinary high school teachers, their father Yang Yunsong teaches physical education, and their mother Su Jing teaches Chinese. It's not because my mother took too many classes and finally had to marry each other, but they hooked up in college.
The family had a fierce struggle about whether to let Yang Feng embark on the path of football.
Yang Feng has been obsessed with this thing since he was a child, and he is determined to eat this bowl of rice. Naturally, his mother strongly opposes it and insists that he go to the single-plank bridge for the college entrance examination.
On the surface, his father didn't help each other, but he secretly contacted an alumnus and let Yang Feng participate in Schalke's youth team trial training through a training camp. Unexpectedly, he actually stayed.
This stay lasted four years.
His background is like this. Although his family is not rich, and his parents almost spent all their money for his football dream, it is much better than his previous life. Blood is thicker than water and "I will take over your body to fulfill my filial piety for you." Yes, it is not difficult to say "Mom and Dad".
"Still on the bench?" Yang Yunsong was obviously dissatisfied with the coach's arrangement. "Didn't you say that Raul's contract extension was not going well? How long will it take if Stevens doesn't help you take over now?"
The contracts between Raul and Schalke expired this season. The Spanish superstar made it clear in an interview with the media a month ago that he was willing to renew his contract with the team. Unexpectedly, there have been twists and turns now.
It's all about money.
Raul's current annual salary is 7 million euros, Schalke only has to bear 5 million, and the other 2 million comes from Real Madrid, but after the end of this season, Real Madrid will no longer bear that part of Raul's annual salary.
With Schalke's financial capabilities, they have already squeezed out an annual salary of 5 million by tightening their belts. Therefore, if they want to retain Raul, there are only two options: increase Raul's salary, or reduce Raul's salary and renew his contract.
Raul had already accepted the proposal to cut his salary, but he did not expect that the Qatari tycoon Al Ahli stepped in and offered him a four-year contract with an annual salary of 9 million euros, which is more than Schalke's current contract extension. A one-year contract with an annual salary of only 4 million euros is much more generous.
Raul is also torn between whether to go to the football desert with a high salary and enjoy his old age, or to continue fighting in the mainstream leagues with a "small money" of 400 yuan.
When people are confused, they always hope to get guidance from the famous sayings of the sages, so Raul read through the entire "Spanish Virtues and Virtues" and finally found the one that suits him best: They gave too much. ! ! !
There may be people who can't live with money, but there are certainly no people who can't live with a lot of money.
So Raul's departure is almost a foregone conclusion, but whether Yang Feng succeeds in usurping the throne before he leaves or waits until he leaves to succeed still depends on his performance on the field.
"It's not that easy to turn a spare tire into a full-time employee. I'll try my best."
Yang Yunsong also knew that his performance was not stable, and it was a bit unrealistic to play the main force now. He quickly skipped this topic and turned to another equally important question: "How is the agent's situation?"
"A few more people are looking for me, but they are not very reliable," Yang Feng said, "Is there someone in China looking for you too?"
"Well, it's almost the same as yours, they all treat us as fools."
"Let's take your time and look for it," Yang Feng said, "Is my mother asleep?"
"I just went to bed after working overtime. Do you want to say a few words to her?"
"No, let her have a good rest. Pay attention to your health and don't be too tired," Yang Feng said. "By the way, I will put some money in your account tomorrow. Don't be reluctant to spend it. I also have a goal bonus here, which is enough. .”
Yang Yunsong was stunned for a moment.
The brat has really grown up. In the past, he never called home except to ask for money. When he finally spoke a few more words, he revealed only negative energy. He either complained about being excluded by his teammates or cursed the coach for his lack of vision. But he has matured rapidly since this year. Not only has he taken an important step in his career, but he has also become more and more sensible. Many times, a casual concern can break his defense.
In the past, Yang Feng had poor abilities and bad temper, and of course he had no friends. Although Yang Feng now does not have so many bad habits, almost all his thoughts are focused on gaining points and developing plug-ins, and he has little energy to engage in interpersonal relationships, so in daily life Quite monotonous.
My career has just started, my body is not even mature yet, it’s not time to be wild.
