Go back a few days, to the day after the Champions League quarter-finals.
Cottbus lost in the Champions League and were eventually eliminated by Inter Milan, failing to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
But despite this, they were not without gains.
After the game against Inter Milan, Yu Hai performed an excellent solo goal and suddenly became the focus of attention in European football. Many teams checked Yu Hai's previous game records and found that Yu Hai has made rapid progress in the past few years in Europe. Not only is he young, but he is also capable of playing all roles from left and right to midfielder and defender.
As a result, Yu Hai quickly attracted the attention of major European clubs. Countless European giants asked Cottbus about the price and wanted to buy Yu Hai.
In fact, although this matter is an opportunity for Yu Hai, he does not pay too much attention to it now. After all, the season is not over yet, and Cottbus still has to work hard for the Champions League tickets for next season.
During this period, Cottbus lost a lot of points in the Bundesliga because they were preparing for the Champions League, so they needed to compete for points in the remaining games of the season, and Yu Hai did not want to consider a transfer.
But Yu Hai didn't expect that even though he didn't think about it, the club was worried.
This morning, the chairman's assistant Tes went to the training ground and called Yu Hai to the chairman's office.
"The chairman is looking for me?" Yu Hai was stunned.
Tes smiled all over his face: "Yes, you are now the team's top star, and Mr. Chairman cares about you very much."
"What does he want from me? Can you tell me in advance?"
"Well, maybe I'm talking about a salary increase with you."
The two were walking and chatting, and Yu Hai found that Tes's attitude was particularly cordial today.
When he arrived at the chairman's office, Kelan personally stood up to greet Yu Hai: "Yu Hai, your performance has been very good recently. I'm proud of you!"
Yu Hai said modestly: "I'm just lucky. It's all good training from the club."
Crane slapped his hands: "You are right! The reason why you perform well is because of the training of the club, otherwise you would have been useless! If you were in a rubbish football environment like China, how could you be here now? A great performance in the Champions League!”
Yu Hai frowned, a little unhappy.
When I said it was cultivated by the club, it was just a polite word. Do you take it seriously?
Besides, no matter how bad Chinese football is, it’s not your turn as a foreigner to point fingers, and you said it in front of me, which is so rude!
Yu Hai held back his anger: "Mr. Chairman, what do you want to see me for today?"
"Yu Hai, look at this," Crane handed a document in his hand to Yu Hai, "I specially prepared this for you, special treatment."
Yu Hai took the document in confusion and took a closer look. Sure enough, as Tes said just now, it was a contract extension.
Yu Hai flipped through it casually. This contract stipulated a series of goals, assists, appearance bonuses, etc. You must know that in the three years of Cottbus, Cottbus did not give him a penny. Prize money, even the year when the Bundesliga won the championship, there was not a penny.
In terms of weekly salary, there were indeed some changes, but the magnitude of the change was very small, even only an increase of about 50%.
Now in the Cottbus team, Shao Jiayi's weekly salary is relatively high. When he first joined Cottbus, his weekly salary was 8,000. After winning the Bundesliga championship, Shao Jiayi's weekly salary doubled to 16,000.
The weekly salary of Yu Hai and Li Tie is only 5,000.
Now after Yu Hai's salary increase, it is only about 8,000. Judging from Yu Hai's current reputation in the Bundesliga and European football, this weekly salary standard is really too low.
However, Yu Hai's first concern was not the issue of more money but that he had never signed a formal contract with Cottbus Club!
In the summer of 2007, with the help of Longyin Technology Company, Yu Hai and Li Tie joined Cottbus in the form of sponsorship. So far, all their salary expenses have been paid by Longyin Technology. He is temporarily affiliated to Longyin Technology Company as an advertising spokesperson, and the contract is only for three years.
Strictly speaking, Yu Hai is not actually a Cottbus player at all. If the club had not submitted a special application to the German Football Association, Yu Hai and Li Tie would not even be eligible to represent Cottbus in the Bundesliga.
Seeing the contract handed over by Crane, Yu Hai shook his head: "Mr. Chairman, I cannot sign this contract with you because I have never signed a contract with Cottbus, so how can I renew it?"
The assistant on the side, Tes, smiled: "Wouldn't that be better? You can completely get rid of Longyin Technology and sign a contract with Cottbus freely."
Crane also nodded: "Yes, don't worry, I will add a signing fee of 100,000 euros to you when the time comes. This price is already quite a lot."
Yu Hai still did not agree to sign: "Mr. Chairman, I think you should talk to Wang Qing about this matter. After all, Wang Qing was in charge of all the transfers between Li Tie and me. It is impossible for me to go behind his back with the club." sign contract."
Crane snorted: "Boy, don't play this trick with me! I understand what you mean, don't you just think the money is too little? It doesn't matter if the money is too little, I will give you a 50% salary increase, is that okay?" Hurry up and sign the contract!”
Yu Hai still disagreed: "This is not a question of more money or less, this is a question of professional ethics! I signed a contract with Longyin Technology. I can't go behind their backs and sign with someone else without knowing it! Kurt Booth wants to sign a long-term contract with me, and I have no objection. As for other procedures, the club can negotiate with Longyin Technology and make the final decision. I have no right to sign any contract privately!"
Assistant Tes on the side muttered: "We contacted you privately while Wang Qing was away. Otherwise, what would happen if Longyin Technology asked us for the transfer fee?"
Crane was furious. He stood up suddenly and slammed the table: "You are just talking nonsense! You just want money, and you say it so grandly! In addition to the 50% salary increase I just promised, I’ll give you an additional transfer fee of 100,000 euros. Is that okay? Don’t even think about it!”
The assistant Tesi on the side also snorted: "Yu Hai, you have to think clearly about your future and don't delay your future. Because you are the new star that the chairman focuses on training, that's why we treat you like this and give you a lot Competition opportunities, if you don't sign this contract, then you will definitely not get the attention of the team. Let alone the main position, you may not even be able to sit on the bench! Think carefully!"
After hearing this, Yu Hai suddenly became angry and stood up suddenly!
