NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17
Although they paid a certain salary, it was a small part compared to the benefits created by the players in the future.
When a young player is spotted by other clubs, they have to pay a corresponding price if they want to buy him.
500,000 seems a lot, but in fact, it is not much in the Dutch Eredivisie clubs. It is just an entry standard.
He was selected not only because of his talent and love for football.
The main reason is that among the fifteen players this time, only he has not registered with the Football Association and has not signed a contract with any club.
The remaining players really want to stay, and there are too many relationships involved.
Xiaomi is very clear about this, and he must fight for his own interests.
As long as the salary is not less than 500 euros, his chances of playing will increase.
With the opportunity to play, he will be discovered more by scouts from the five major leagues.
The Dutch Eredivisie is just a stepping stone for him to reach a higher stage, and this will not be his destination.
Although he is young, he is not stupid and lives in a big city full of routines.
Without the care of his family, he has grown up a lot in the past two years.
Marvin made a very embarrassed look and whispered to Jason in Dutch.
Xiaomi ignored him and drank his coffee quietly. They had to talk about everything, even buying fruit and getting discount.
The two of them didn't talk for long before Jason spoke.
"Xiaomi, I'm sorry, we just communicated in our native language"
"We can't give you the top salary, after all, you have just been in the club for a short time and have never played a professional game."
"I pay close attention to you, you know that."
Xiaomi nodded and said sincerely
"I have learned a lot from you in the past three months. I am very grateful for your cultivation of me."
Xiaomi knew that he would definitely make a clear statement.
But in his heart, he felt amused by the red and black faces of the two.
"This is what I should do as a coach."
"I discussed with Marvin and we can only offer you 500 euros. After all, the club's financial situation is not very good at the moment. This is the highest salary we can offer."
Xiaomi did not rush to answer. This has already met his psychological expectations.
But he couldn't agree too quickly. This is a taboo in negotiations.
Tactics drank the coffee in the cup and nodded slightly.
"Thank you for your trust in me. I am willing to stay. After all, I like the ADO team and the environment here."
After Xiaomi agreed, the two felt relieved.
"Then I will go and modify the contract. Today we will sign the letter of intent first. On Monday we will invite reporters to sign the formal contract."
"OK, no problem."
Jason said, and walked out of the office, leaving Xiaomi and Marvin alone in the room.
"Mr. Marvin, please don't mind me being rude when I'm fighting for my own interests."
"Oh, Xiaomi, since you said that, I have to apologize to you too. You know, I have a lot to consider. After all, I am just an ordinary coach in the team.
After the two talked, they eased the embarrassment after Jason left.
"Mr. Ma Wen, can I ask my teammates, is there anyone suitable to stay?"
Hearing Xiaomi's question, Ma Wen seemed very helpless.
"I don't understand why their clubs charge so much."
"You guys are all very good, hardworking and diligent."
"Although I don't have the confidence that every one of them can become a football superstar"
"But I am confident that as long as they continue to train with me for another year, they will definitely become excellent players and have a place in the Eredivisie and the Eredivisie."
"But the conditions offered by their club are really unacceptable to us."
"I have been busy with these things recently."
"Fortunately, you can stay, which comforts me a little."
When Marvin was narrating, the expression on his face was very helpless and aggrieved.
He opened up as if he had finally found an outlet to vent.
Xiaomi didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
He knew the result a long time ago. After all, teammates would also talk about this when they communicated privately.
Many teammates didn't want to go back at all, but they had no choice.
They had to go back for various reasons from the club and family.
The most depressed person about this matter was Zhang Lei.
He once complained to Xiaomi,"I really don't want to go back, but if I don't go back, I will have to pay the club a lot of liquidated damages, and even be disqualified as a professional player." Complaints like this are what Xiaomi has heard the most recently.
He was somewhat fortunate that he was a free man, not registered, and had no club.
Even if his parents were still there, they would support him to stay here, after all, this was his dream.
It seems that after Monday, ADO will only have him. Thinking of this, his expression was a little sad, but Marvin, who had been complaining, didn't notice it.
Jason came back with a revised contract
"Marvin, are you talking about those unhappy things again?"
"Alas, there is no way, it is such a pity."
Jason also sighed and handed the contract to Xiaomi.
"Take a look, if there is nothing missing, let's sign it!"
Xiaomi took the contract and read it carefully.
This time he did not hesitate and signed his name directly.
As soon as he signed, the system's voice rang in his mind.
【Mission completed, reward: a body enhancer and a pair of high-tech sneakers!
Xiaomi was delighted, but unfortunately he didn't have time to check it.
He handed the signed contract to Jason and said with a smile:
"Then I'll go back and take a shower. I just finished training and I feel uncomfortable."
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing!"
Marvin stopped him and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Marvin, is there anything else?"
"Numbers, do you have any requirements for numbers? Currently we have 6, 14, 18 numbers on our jerseys...."
"Mr. Marvin, is No. 30 here?"
"The 30th? Yes!"
"Then let's go with number 30, I like this number very much!"
After confirming the number, Xiaomi walked towards the dormitory.
He felt sorry for his teammates, but he could not do anything.
They really worked hard. In order not to be sent to the amateur team for training, they sweated on the green field every day.
It's just that many things are beyond their control.
After this separation, I don't know how long it will take to see them again.
He used to envy them for signing with the club at such a young age.
But now, he doesn't envy them at all, but feels fortunate.
He only likes to play pure football. It is his biggest wish to become a professional player and play in the top five leagues.
He doesn't like the current atmosphere of domestic football. He often listens to Captain Li's complaints, and his ears are almost calloused.
Everyone's destiny is different. He just wants to play football well in just a dozen years. He can't control other things, and he has no ability to control them.
