Team Spirit

Chapter 68 Bengbu Turn, Classical Attacking Midfielder (asking for monthly ticket)
Sky Sports: "The Green Gunners won the FA Charity Shield, and the season's quadruple champions defeated Arsenal, who had nothing to show for it!"

BBC: "Chelsea beat Manchester United to win the England Charity Shield, and together with Dartford, which won the FA Charity Shield, they are known as the charity double heroes! Together they overturned the dominance of the giants!"

Manchester Evening News: "Barton calls himself Little Keane? Manchester United's youth training director says Leeds United's Alan Smith is 10,000 times better than Barton!"

The Echo: "Dartford is ignorant of the immensity of the world and hastily launched a six-front war, which may end in nothing!"

Sports Weekly: "An Qi won the championship in her first official match after the transfer! With the Little Charity Shield in hand, I have the future!"

Football News: "Takes the lead! An Qi becomes the first European player to win an official European competition!"

Southern Entertainment News: "Is a small Charity Shield considered a championship? Chelsea's big Charity Shield was just a warm-up match!"

The Small Charity Shield has caused a wave of popularity in the country.

But it's a mixed bag.

Anyway, these days there is a wave of people in China who think that everything from foreign countries is good. For example, they brag about a certain amateur champion as being more valuable than the top domestic champion.

But once a Chinese person really wins this kind of championship, they feel bad.

Ultimately, what they admire is not foreign events and champions, but foreigners.

What is looked down upon is not domestic sports or items, but the Chinese people.

!!!

The first time you obtain a gold skill, it should add four attribute points, but [Classic Attacking Midfielder] adds six.

Is this a little top-notch one?

As expected of an ancient position, it is indeed domineering.

In addition, this skill actually has a synergistic effect with Marseille Turn.

Lu Kai quickly checked the Marseille Turn and found that the entry had indeed changed.

Marseille Turn Silver 2: Your dribbling ability is enhanced. After successfully dribbling past an opponent using this technique, your burst, shooting, and passing abilities are temporarily boosted. If you fail to dribble past an opponent using this technique, there is a chance that you will draw a foul. If you encounter opposition while using this skill, you can trigger the Bengbu Turn, a powerful 720-degree ball protection.

One more sentence!
Bengbu Roundabout!!!

For a moment, the emperor's embarrassed and handsome figure appeared in Lu Kai's mind.

Although this skill may seem shameful, its effect is very powerful. Strong ball protection is exactly what Lu Kai lacks at this stage.

He is young, weak and has poor confrontation ability.

As his performance gets better and better, it is certain that he will be targeted.

If there is no good way to deal with it, either the performance will fade or injuries will occur frequently.

For example, Ashley Young has suffered more injuries in the team, which is due to his physical condition.

Wandering around the dormitory all day long completely tarnished Lu Kai's celebration.

"Director Jiang, a cup of matcha coconut mochi milk tea." Alfred walked into the convenience store with a serious expression. "Lu, it's bad, we're in trouble!"

Lu Kai gestured to Alfred to speak slowly.

Alfred handed over a newspaper.

This is an interview with the head coach of the English and Irish Premier League team Canvey Island: "A ninth-tier team wants to be promoted from the seventh-tier league. What do he think we are?"

"English football has been built step by step, and every level has been reached through hard work."

"Their use of capital manipulation to skip grades is shameful in the first place, and now they're still spouting outrageous words."

"After the new season starts, we will let them know what the real Yingyi Super League is!"

"They even signed up for five cup competitions. Just wait and see, they'll be crying!"

The anger in this interview is almost palpable.

Lu Kai looked at the schedule and found out that Canvey Island was Dartford's first round opponent in the new season.

This kind of statement, in addition to being "out of justice", is probably also intended to take advantage of Dartford's traffic.

Otherwise, how could his interview as the head coach of a mere seventh-tier team appear in The Times?

"Don't worry," Lu Kai comforted Alfred. "What's coming will come sooner or later. Their strength won't be enhanced by their harsh words."

"Such remarks will only inspire the fighting spirit of our players."

"By the way, have the bonuses been distributed?"

Alfred nodded.

The FA Charity Shield winner receives a prize of £50,000.

Lu Kai gave out 10,000 pounds, which went to all the club members, with slightly more going to the starting players.

There are currently more than 30 players in the team, but only the Green Gun Five Tigers, An Qi, Makofor, Marin, William, Benjamin, Daniel, Scott and others have weekly salaries.

Among them, Daniel and Scott only receive a symbolic weekly salary.

The highest-paid players, Barton and Duff, are the highest paid in the team, earning £200 a week.

Duff originally negotiated for a higher salary, but after deducting the cost of losing weight, he successfully reduced his salary.

The team's salary expenditure this season is about 50,000 to 70,000 pounds.

The fluctuations lie in some goal bonuses, clean sheet bonuses, and stage target bonuses.

They adopted a future Liverpool-style salary system, namely the "low salary + high bonus" model, to stimulate the players' subjective initiative.

This is a very scientific salary system that reflects team performance in salary.

That is, if you follow my strong team that wins often, your total salary will be high, even if you are not that strong.

Avoid some players who have clearly benefited from the team's momentum but do not acknowledge it, misjudge their own abilities, and endlessly demand salary increases.

Of course, Dartford's bonuses are definitely not as good as those of big teams, but it's also good because many teams don't have these things at all.

In addition, in addition to the goal award, Lu Kai also established an assist award, which helps the team's tactical harmony.

Lu Kai and Alfrid then discussed some details of the training.

After Alfred left, Jiang Mengyun also came over to report on the team's financial situation.
