Two league goals only brought Yang Feng two points, and the current system points have become 4.
Schalke 04, who won all three points with seven goals, also gained 44 league points, but Bayern Munich was unexpectedly tied 0-0 by bottom-ranked Freiburg in the away game!
The gap between the two sides was only one point.
Defending champion Dortmund defeated Hertha Berlin 1-0 in an away game, giving the home team a 5-game losing streak in the second half and continuing to lead the standings.
Dortmund has 46 points, Bayern Munich has 45 points, Schalke has 44 points, and Monchengladbach has 43 points…
What makes Dortmund and Monchengladbach secretly happy is that Schalke 04 will go to the Allianz Arena to challenge Bayern Munich in the next round of the league. Regardless of the results of both sides, Dortmund and Monchengladbach will have something to gain.
The league has reached such a critical stage. With another two-goal lead in the first round of the Europa League, Stevens must have some reservations in the upcoming second round against Plzen. The biggest change is Yang Feng replaced Raul in the starting lineup.
However, Schalke 04 still has a few battles to fight before facing the visiting Plzen Victory.
These battles did not take place on the court, but they were much more intense than those on the court.
The first is the issue of Raul's stay.
Schalke 04 is still reluctant to give up such a useful golden thigh, but considering Raul's age, they can't bear to give him a long-term high-paying contract.
Followed by the contract renewals of Huntelaar, Farfan and Yang Feng.
The annual salary offer for Huntelaar has exceeded Raul's current salary of seven million, reaching a whopping eight million, but the Dutch still have not made a clear stance and are just dragging their feet.
The biggest headache for them was Farfan.
This guy has always been the biggest thorn in the Schalke team, and his contract also expires at the end of this season. In order to keep this fast winger, Schalke sports director Heldt has asked Farfan since the beginning of the season. A renewal offer was made.
Farfan's original annual salary was only 2.8 million euros. In order to keep him, Helter even offered an annual salary of 6 million, but Farfan still refused to sign the new contract.
What makes Helter even more angry is that Farfan, who once vowed to renew his contract with the team, actually said during the match with the national team that he had received multiple offers from other teams and expressed his desire to transfer - -Obviously, his agent had Raiola's disease, but unfortunately, it did not kill the fat man.
According to the general rules of development, Farfan, whose contract will expire in the summer, should be sold by Schalke during the winter break, otherwise the club will face the result of losing both manpower and financial resources.
However, Farfan was injured during the winter break. Many clubs that were originally interested in him stopped to wait and see. In this way, the Peruvian attacker missed the best opportunity to transfer.
After returning from injury, due to Farfan's ups and downs this season and his immature performance off the court, no team dared to offer him a big contract, and Farfan could only continue to spend time at Schalke. With.
The hell is that Farfan, who stayed on the team, regained his form in the second half of the league. Under Stevens, he even assisted a hat trick in a single game...
So how to deal with this guy, Helter still has a lot of work to do.
Finally, there is Yang Feng, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
Originally, this kid was the easiest to deal with. The club had complete initiative, and it was still a matter of choice whether to keep him or not. But who knew that he would explode when there were still a few months left in the contract.
You definitely have to keep it, the key is the price.
Helter's original intention was to observe a few more games before making a decision. On the one hand, he wanted to see Yang Feng's true quality, and on the other hand, he wanted to show him off. Who would have thought that the more he observed this kid, the more expensive he would be. Days later, the anxious person turned into himself.
What made him even more troubled was that Yang Feng, who had always been alone, told himself in the blink of an eye that he already had an agent, and this agent was still a role that he had to be prepared for. The first negotiation between the two parties ended on bad terms.
Volker Struth felt that he was very merciful, because he only proposed a contract for Yang Feng that was comparable to Draxler, which was the talent of his own youth training.
Draxler's current annual salary is 1.5 million euros, and Struth used this as a reference to ask for a sky-high price: 2 million.
The meaning is self-evident: Yang Feng is the Nan Bowan in this Schalke youth training.
If you look at the performance of the last three games alone, then Yang Feng's annual salary at Huntelaar's level is not exaggerated, but the value of a player cannot be determined by just two or three games.
In the eyes of Helter and Stevens, Yang Feng does show potential at Draxler's level, but in terms of long-term and durability, Yang Feng's future achievements should be far lower than Draxler's. .
The price he paid back to Strus was one million euros, which was already a qualitative leap compared with Yang Feng's current annual salary. But if it fell to Strus, this guy was either blind or thinking nonsense.
Of course, one million is not the bottom line, and it still leaves a certain amount of room for counter-offering by Strus. However, Strus has no interest in even having a second round of negotiations with Helter, and just explained the process to Yang Feng. , and then the next step is the plan.
"Yang, we need more goals! This time we offered two million and they didn't accept it. Next time, let them offer three million to beg us to renew our contract!"
Heldt thought that there are still three months until the end of the season, and he can play with us slowly, but we need to let him know that the current situation is not that we still have three months to convince them, but that Schalke 04 can only continue Have you for three months!
From today on, I will no longer answer Helter's calls until he is ready to go crazy. I hope you won't make me a joke. "
Yang Feng had expected that the negotiations would not go smoothly, so his tone was very calm, "I agree with you in terms of ideas and methods, Walker."
"but?"
"But I think you could be a little bolder."
"You mean, three million...is less?"
"I only found out after reading the recent news that even Farfan is worth 6 million." Yang Feng held the phone in his left hand and scrolled the mouse to browse the news interface with his right hand. "I am only worth one-sixth in their eyes." A Farfan?"
Farfan's strength is indeed ranked high in the Bundesliga. Yang Feng's role in the team is really not as big as that of others, but you have to say that the gap is as big as one with an annual salary of 6 million and another with an annual salary of 1 million. , that is simply disgusting.
Struth casually asked for three million just to boost his momentum. The psychological price is actually only between 1.6 million euros and 1.8 million euros, which is slightly higher than Dracosler, but since the employer himself So Piao, of course he couldn't turn a blind eye as he should cooperate with the performance, and immediately responded: "If this is the case, you have to continue to score goals, and score many, many goals."
"Don't worry," Yang Feng said, "I don't know anything, I just know how to score goals."
