This is the first time Pan Yi has encountered such a thing.
After all, he was only an assistant coach when he was in Milan, and it didn't matter to him whether the players received a salary increase or not.
Now he plays the role of head coach, manager or even director in Hamburg. Indeed, if the agent has any ideas, he should be approached.
However, less than one-third of the league is over now. Most people don’t choose this time to ask for a salary increase, right?
This is something new.
But now that this guy named Tis really came to his door, Pan Yi studied it carefully.
Son Heung-min's current weekly salary is 20,000 euros. With his current strength and absolute main position in the team, it is indeed a bit low.
For comparison, substitute center Berry's weekly salary is 30,000 euros, while vice-captain Ogo's salary is 40,000 euros, and captain Westerman's salary is 55,000 euros. They are the highest salary in the team with former international Janssen, who also earns 55,000 euros. .
Therefore, as Son Heung-min's agent, the player's recent performance with three goals and one assist in the two rounds has been so good, Thies' request for a new contract seems reasonable.
But the problem is, when he came up, the lion opened his mouth and asked for a weekly salary of 100,000 euros! Directly five times!
This is a bit difficult for Pan Yi.
It's not that Hamburg can't afford the price. After all, Pan Yi signed some high-quality and cheap players this season, which saved Hamburg a lot of salary space.
But this directly breaks the current salary structure of Hamburg, and there are still many consequences.
Son Heung-min has increased his salary, should De Bruyne do so? His salary is only 30,000.
It’s good that Son Heung-min scored five goals, but what about Vardy who also scored five goals? His salary is only 15,000 euros.
After all, Hamburg's good results this season are because everyone performed very well.
And once Son Heung-min is really given the maximum salary in the team, do the captain, vice-captain and other veteran players have any ideas? Besides, can these young players really have no troubles in their hearts?
It feels very risky.
Even if 15 of the 23 people in the first team have no objections, as long as seven or eight people have ideas, it will cause great harm to the team.
As a result, the team's morale and combat effectiveness will definitely decline to varying degrees.
Pan Yi would never take this risk without being sure.
In Pan Yi's previous life, Manchester United had vivid memories of the turmoil in the locker room due to salary issues. Of course, he would not make the same mistake.
So, Pan Yi quickly found Son Heung-min and directly pulled him into the office for a private chat.
The method he decided to take was very simple, which was the trick he learned from the FM game - dragging!
"Xiao Sun, your agent has come to see me and said you want a new contract? Do you want a salary increase?" Pan Yi also got straight to the point.
He now has a very good relationship with the players, and there is basically nothing that he cannot talk about openly.
"Oh." Sun Xingmin scratched his head and smiled a little sheepishly, "He told me that it was not because of the money itself, but because it could guarantee my status in the team."
"You are still too young, Xiao Sun." Pan Yi stood up and patted Sun Xingmin on the shoulder sincerely, "Many agents are all about profit. The more you earn, the more he earns. If you sign a new For the contract, he will ask for agency fees, you don’t know this, right?”
"Well……"
Before Sun Xingmin could respond, Pan Yi continued: "Their desires are always endless. If they encourage you to ask for a salary increase today, they will let you transfer tomorrow, because then the agency fee he receives will be higher. As for going Is the team suitable for you? He doesn’t care. As long as the price is high, he will negotiate with whomever. And if we don’t agree, we will encourage you to stop training to threaten the team. There is no professional ethics!”
"Well, I didn't want to leave Hamburg..." The expression on Sun Xingmin's face was a little embarrassed.
"If you take your agent's word as a golden rule, I'm afraid it won't be up to you whether to transfer or not." Pan Yi sighed, "Anyway, I think, you are such a good young player, but you follow such a A money-grubbing agent may not have a smooth future."
"Then...then I...what should I do?" Sun Xingmin hesitated a little.
"Fire him and find a more reliable agent who can think about your future instead of thinking about his money bag all day long." Seeing that the time had come, Pan Yi stepped forward and grabbed Sun Xingmin hard. on his shoulders, "What salary increase can improve your status is all nonsense! I am the head coach, and I say you are the main player, and you are the main player. What the hell does he, an agent, know about football?"
"Really!?" Hearing what Pan Yi said, Sun Xingmin felt a little flattered.
After Pan Yi took over Hamburg, he actually promised De Bruyne and Carvajal core positions. This was the first time he said this to Sun Xingmin.
In fact, it really doesn't matter. Anyway, Pan Yi knows that Son Heung-min's professional attitude is also first-rate, and he will not relax his requirements on himself because of this.
"You still can't believe me!" Pan Yi chuckled, "And there is no rush to get a salary increase. As long as you play football down-to-earth, when you truly become a world-class star, there will be many teams competing for you. When the time comes, Even if the weekly salary is 200,000 or 300,000, it’s no problem!”
After saying that, Pan Yi took out a business card and stuffed it into Sun Xingmin's hand.
"After you fired that unscrupulous agent, of course you need a new one. I happen to know a local agent in Hamburg. She is skilled in business, her prices are fair, and she is an upright person. Why don't I introduce her to you? !..."
…
As a result, Son Heung-min's matter was successfully resolved, and Pan Ying was also given a new potential customer.
And after this incident spread to the Hamburg team, those agents who tried to jump out and call for a new contract had to think about it.
This can be regarded as knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.
In fact, for Pan Yi, it is understandable that players should receive a raise if they perform well, but not at this time.
How can the players play football well when their minds are already focused on this?
To do this, wait until the season is over, and then everyone can sit down and have a good chat.
At that time, a new contract was signed, the team got a longer service life for the players, the players got a salary that was consistent with their strength, and everyone had a bright future.
Maybe some people will say at this time, you stinky wage earner, why are you worrying about the capitalists? Spiritual capitalist!
This is superficial.
In addition to the issues such as player mentality mentioned above, anyone who has played FM games knows that if everyone who comes to ask for a salary increase agrees, it will not be long before the team's salary structure will be completely destroyed, and the total salary will also be It has expanded to a frightening level, making the club's finances unsustainable.
If the club runs out of money, Pan Yi, as the head coach and manager, will certainly not be able to reap the benefits.
If nothing else, the recruitment aspect will be greatly affected!
They even have to prepare to sell some players to pay for the high-paid players in the team... That would be too miserable, and it will definitely affect the team's performance.
Therefore, considering that the current season is not even halfway through, Pan Yi's handling method is still very reasonable.
No matter what demands you have, put them off until the end of the season!
Even if some unsighted guy comes to ask for a salary increase later, Pan Yi can still use Son Heung-min as a positive example to persuade:
"You see, Son Heung-min also talked to me last time. He is very professional. He knows that at critical moments in the league, the overall situation must be the most important thing. Do you want to learn from him..."
