Chapter 265 The Huge Impact of Contract Renewal

Regardless of whether Mendes understands it or not, as long as Quaresma disagrees, Mendes can't force Quaresma to speak for him with a gun, so let's stop here.

Handing over the negotiation to Mendes, Quaresma lived a life of repeating monotonous training and competitions.

After a few days of recovery, Wenger felt that the physical condition of the players did not seem to have reached the ideal state, so he made up his mind and once again adopted a rotation strategy in the league.

No way, after this league match, it will be the League Cup final with Manchester United, and then the second round of the knockout match with Real Madrid. These two games are more important than a league game. Sacrificing a league cup for a League Cup champion It is still a good deal to add the Champions League to the quarter-finals.

So, playing Blackburn away, Quaresma didn't even make the roster and was left at home. Half of the main players didn't play. Only the backcourt players with less energy consumption and players with excellent physical fitness got A chance to start.

But what Wenger didn't expect was that Arsenal's second-tier lineup actually gave him a lot of surprises, especially Adebayor who started the game. Because he couldn't play in the Champions League, he simply released all his energy into the league. Come, relying on the strong attribute of strength, it brought a big blow to Blackburn.

With a header assist and a header direct goal, Adebayor became the biggest contributor to Arsenal's away victory over Blackburn. More importantly, Adebayor seems to have a tendency to gradually integrate into Arsenal's technical and tactical system. It was even faster than Quaresma.

In this regard, Quaresma felt very depressed. Could it be that Adebayor, who is black and tough, has a stronger sense of teamwork than himself?
The system's assessment of itself is obviously unreasonable!

But now is really not the time to worry about these things. The next two games are extremely important to Arsenal, and there is no room for sloppy. In front of the champion, even the few animals who have always been funny are much more honest.

However, at this time, a piece of news suddenly came, which also hit the morale of the Arsenal players to a certain extent.

Just now, the Chelsea Club announced that it had completed the renewal of the contract with the team's core midfielder Lampard. The Blues provided Lampard with a new five-year contract worth 5 million pounds, converted into a weekly salary of up to 3600 pounds.

This new contract directly made Lampard the star with the highest annual salary in world football.

The news of Lampard's contract extension is tantamount to dropping a blockbuster in world football. Although everyone guessed that the weekly salary of Lampard's new contract would not be low, they did not expect that his weekly salary would directly Break the previous odds.

It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the Arsenal players, and it doesn't affect anything at all. After all, it is someone else's business, but if it is compared, it will be very shocking.

Everyone is a professional player. Why can't we get such a high salary for Lampard?
Currently at Arsenal, Campbell and Henry have the highest weekly salaries in the team, both earning £9.9k a week.

This number, in the Premier League, can still be ranked in the top ten.

However, Campbell's high weekly salary is because he joined for free and left the transfer fee for the team. Henry's high weekly salary is due to his scoring goals.

But now it seems that their weekly salary seems to be getting lower and lower.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United have continued to increase the salaries of their players, but Arsenal have not said anything, and are even planning to cut their salaries. Recently, there have been rumors that because Campbell has turned 30, Wenger wants him to cut his salary and renew his contract. A weekly salary of 5 pounds was offered, which made Campbell very unhappy. Compared with Chelsea and Manchester United, Arsenal's treatment is no longer up to the standard of giants.

Lampard better than Henry?

not necessarily!

Even speaking, Henry is more important to Arsenal than Lampard is to Chelsea.

But now Henry's weekly salary is much lower than that of Lampard, can Henry bear it?
Other players have the same mentality. If they were at Chelsea or Manchester United, they would earn far more than they do now.

Football is a sport that eats youth food. If you don’t make more money when you are young, will you wait to starve to death when you are old?
Playing the same football, but others are paid far more than themselves, who can balance their hearts!
This time, people's hearts fluttered.

I'm afraid this inner turmoil was unexpected by everyone, including Quaresma, who couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

As far as he himself is concerned, he certainly doesn't care too much about his weekly salary, as long as it matches his ability, after all, he doesn't rely on it for a living.

But he also understands the thoughts of other players. Obviously he can earn more, but he can only get a small weekly salary. Who can be indifferent?

However, Arsenal is really poor now, so poor that they are about to sell their kidneys, no, the kidneys have already been sold, and Vieira is the kidney.
Wenger wanted to raise the wages of the players, but what did he use for the increase?
It can be said that Chelsea's announcement of the news and content of Lampard's contract extension directly put Arsenal on the bar.

The most frightening thing is that FIFA has a rule, which is the famous "Article 17"-as long as a player fulfills his three-year contract in his current club, no matter how much time is left in his contract, he can Buy out the contract and transfer to a foreign club, not other clubs in the country, and the club cannot block it.For players who will be 3 years old when the contract expires, he can even transfer and leave after fulfilling the two-year contract.

Take Henry as an example, there are two years left in his contract with Arsenal, and Henry’s annual salary is 510 million pounds, so as long as Henry pays out the remaining two years’ salary, which is 1020 million pounds, to buy out his contract, he can Arsenal can't stop him from leaving the team freely to join any club outside the Premier League.

And now Henry's normal transfer value is definitely above 3000 million pounds, that is to say, if Henry really buys out his contract, Arsenal will suffer huge losses.

Although this is only a possibility that is close to tearing the face, you cannot guarantee that every player is willing to play for you with a salary that does not match his worth!
Quaresma can guarantee that if it is not because of the rules that cannot join the same league team, and other leagues may not be able to start the Premier League salary, I am afraid that at least half of the players in the Arsenal team may trigger the clause to leave Arsenal!
In his previous life, Quaresma had never heard of a similar crisis in Arsenal, but now that he is in the Arsenal team, he knows the mood of his teammates clearly.

Let's see how Arsenal deal with this time!
