Chapter 226 Renewing the contract at the age of 16
After watching the European Cup and returning to Spain, Qiao Anchen invited his aunt, uncle, and cousin to go to a cooler place in Northern Europe to escape the summer heat and play for a while.
Then, Atletico Madrid's players who did not have national team competition duties began pre-season training, and players who participated in the European Cup and other national team competitions could take a few more days off.
Before the start of the training camp, the contract renewal negotiations between Qiao Anchen and Atletico Madrid were completed.
On July 16, 2012, the day when Qiao Anchen turned 16, Atletico Madrid and Qiao Anchen held a contract renewal ceremony and press conference.
Qiao Anchen signed a new contract for four years, and the contract will be renewed until July 15, 2016. The annual salary is 8 million euros, with an annual increment of 1 million. If the four-year contract is completed, and he does not leave midway or renew the contract, Qiao Anchen will receive it in the last year.
Annual salary of 11 million euros.
The annual salary of 8 million euros has surpassed Falcao and has become the highest salary in the team. Although it is not as good as the top Messi, Ronaldo and others, it is also on par with Ibrahimovic, Kaká, Aguero and others.
His looks are similar enough to rank among the top 20 in football's annual salary list.
Considering that Atletico Madrid is not a super rich person like Real Madrid, Manchester City, or Paris Saint-Germain, and Qiao Anchen does not have league titles, Champions League, Ballon d'Or, etc., his annual salary of 8 million euros and the conditions for a salary increase of 1 million per year are indeed enough.
Show the club's sincerity.
In addition to annual salary, there are naturally appearance fees, goal awards, assist awards, championship bonuses, image endorsement shares, peripheral product shares and other incomes. Qiao Anchen's income from Atletico Madrid in his first year was definitely more than 10 million.
.
If you play enough times, score enough goals, and win enough championships, it is not impossible that the bonus and annual salary combined will reach more than 15 million.
Naturally, the liquidated damages have also been significantly increased, reaching 300 million euros. It is almost impossible for anyone to come up with this liquidated damages in the current transfer market. Even Messi and Ronaldo are worth just over 100 million.
.
Atletico Madrid can at least keep Qiao Anchen safely for two or three years.
After the signing ceremony and the press conference, the club held a birthday dinner for Qiao Anchen. Qiao Anchen's parents, aunts and uncles, agents, club executives, coaches, teammates who had already registered, etc., had a lively Spanish legal ceremony for Qiao Anchen.
A birthday in the sense of coming of age.
Atletico Madrid fans left messages on the club's official website and Qiao Anchen's social accounts, expressing their sincere joy at the successful renewal of Qiao Anchen's contract with the club and their best wishes for Qiao Anchen's 16th birthday.
When the news spread back to China, Qiao Anchen undoubtedly became the highest-paid athlete in China, not just in football.
Qiao Anchen officially surpassed Li Na, Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and others to become the strongest money-maker in the domestic sports world. According to Chinese law, Qiao Anchen, who has just turned 16, is still a minor and must be 18 to be considered an adult.
Such achievements and speed of rise are truly staggering.
After completing the contract extension, Qiao Anchen also received the championship task for the new season:
Mission 15: Help Atletico Madrid win the 2012 European Super Cup.
Reward: 10 million experience points, 50 skill points, Rivaldo upside down golden hook card*2
…
Task 16: Help Atletico Madrid win the La Liga championship in the 2012/2013 season with at least 5 appearances.
Reward: 10 million experience points, 50 skill points, Beckham Full Moon Scimitar Card*5
…
Task 17: Help Atletico Madrid win the Copa del Rey in the 2012/2013 season with at least 2 appearances.
Task 18: Help Atletico Madrid win the 2012/2013 UEFA Champions League title with at least 2 appearances
Reward: 20 million experience points, 100 skill points, Robert Carlos heavy bombardment door card*10
…
If you win the Triple Crown of the League, Copa del Rey, and Champions League, you can also complete Task 14, turn on the head coach function of the system, and you can play player-coach. However, there is no time limit for Task 14 of the Triple Crown, as long as you complete it at Atletico Madrid
That’s it.
…
Then Atletico Madrid officially started pre-season training for the 2012/2013 season, and successively arranged several warm-up match opponents, with an average of one warm-up match every four or five days, and the rhythm was pretty good.
Moreover, not all of the warm-up games are played at their own home court, some are domestic away games, and there are two teams in Peru and Colombia in South America. It is equivalent to going to South America for a vacation to escape the summer heat.
It's summer in the Northern Hemisphere now, but winter in the Southern Hemisphere, which is just right.
In terms of player lineup, Atletico Madrid's lineup was already very strong last season. The 7-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League final without conceding a goal was its pinnacle.
Therefore, Simeone did not perform major surgery on the lineup. However, some players who did not play much last season felt that there was no chance of continuing to stay in the team, so they took the initiative to transfer and left. Some marginal players who had no chance to play left on free transfers.
.
Simeone also made targeted signings, but they didn't cost much. They just added personnel to meet emergencies. The main lineup is still the same personnel from last season.
Perhaps the biggest change is that Diego Costa, who was previously loaned to Rayo Vallecano, returns and wears the No. 19 jersey to strengthen the forward lineup.
However, Diego, the attacking midfielder who joined on loan from Wolfsburg last season, returned to Wolfsburg after his loan. He has suffered some losses in the attacking midfielder lineup. Under such circumstances, there may be some changes in the lineup playing style in the new season.
changed.
In addition, Simeone appointed Qiao Anchen as the team's fourth captain.
Although he has just turned 16, Qiao Anchen's performance last season is well known to everyone, and he comes from his own youth training camp, wears the No. 10 jersey, and is the core of the offense, so it is acceptable to be appointed as the captain.
Qiao Anchen thus became the youngest team captain in the five major European leagues. He is the fourth captain of Atletico Madrid after midfielder Gabi, center defender Godin and defender Felipe Luis.
If Gabi, Godin and Luiz are not present, Qiao Anchen will wear the captain's armband and lead his teammates on the field.
Of course, in fact, the chance that the three captains are not here is very small. Qiao Anchen's position as the fourth captain is more of an honor and a symbol.
Even so, European and Chinese media still carried a lot of reports, and fans also expressed their congratulations and recognition to Qiao Anchen.
Atletico Madrid's main lineup is quite stable, and they have directly entered pre-season training from the beginning to prepare for the new season.
But other teams are constantly buying and selling, which is quite lively.
Hooker transferred from Porto to Russia's Anzhi for a transfer fee of 50 million, becoming the top transfer bid in the summer of 2012.
Then, Thiago Silva moved from Milan to Paris Saint-Germain for 42 million, Hazard moved from Lille to Chelsea for 40 million, and Xavi Martinez moved from Athletic Bilbao to Bayern for 40 million.
Munich, Robin van Persie transferred from Arsenal to Manchester United for 30 million, Modric transferred from Tottenham to Real Madrid for 30 million, Ibrahimovic joined Paris Saint-Germain, Shinji Kagawa joined Manchester United, and Nesta left for the United States.
In the Major League, Podolski joined Arsenal, Drogba left Chelsea and joined Shanghai Shenhua...
Of course, before the contract renewal is completed, many teams hope that Qiao Anchen will join. Anzhi Makhachkala even offered an annual salary of 20 million euros in the hope that Qiao Anchen will join.
That is naturally impossible. Qiao Anchen is far from the age of retirement like Eto'o, and it is impossible to leave the five major leagues.
With Qiao Anchen's contract renewal completed, other wealthy clubs naturally knew that it was impossible to bring in Qiao Anchen this summer, so they set their sights on others.
Before the start of the first official game of the new season, Atletico Madrid played a total of 6 friendly matches, and the Sheets won all of them.
The reason for the victory was naturally due to Qiao Anchen's powerful attack power.
In the friendly matches during this period, Qiao Anchen's average goal rate per game reached a terrifying level of more than 3 goals per game. Of course, this is related to the fact that the opponent is relatively weak and the defense is not too serious.
But even so, Qiao Anchen's stable and efficient scoring efficiency still made his teammates, coaches and fans overjoyed and full of expectations for the new season.
On August 11, in the men's football final of the London Olympics, the Mexican Olympic team relied on Peralta's blitz and scored twice in the opening 28 seconds to defeat the Brazilian Olympic team led by Neymar and win the Olympic gold medal for the first time in history.
The Brazilian Olympic team once again missed out on the Olympic gold medal. The Brazilians' dream of Olympic gold medals will continue to be postponed.
It is worth mentioning that in this London Olympics, Japan and South Korea both reached the semifinals, but lost to Brazil and Mexico respectively.
In the end, South Korea and Japan staged an East Asian derby in the third and fourth place finals and tied 2-0. South Korea won the bronze medal and Japan finished fourth.
Although they failed to reach the finals or win the championship or runner-up, the good results of South Korea and Japan in the Olympics still made the Chinese media and fans envious. Naturally, the Football Committee was brought out again and scolded by everyone.
With a player as powerful as Qiao Anchen not being used and being permanently released, the Football Committee naturally became the target of everyone's venting.
But the Football Committee continued to play dead.
All football matches in the European Cup and Olympic Games are over. After a few days of rest, the international players have all returned to their clubs.
The 2012/2013 season of the five major European leagues is about to begin.
