"I think Gini is a very capable player, and if conditions permit, I hope he can stay."

Klopp, wearing glasses, said seriously.

"I have discussed this issue with Director Edwards."

Zhang Da tapped the table gently, "He told me that Wijnaldum's agent wanted to get a three-year long-term contract."

"But the problem is that Wijnaldum is already 30 years old. It is obviously unwise to sign a long-term contract with a veteran."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Da took a sip of soda water.

In his opinion, Klopp's opinion should be contrary to his.

But to his surprise, Klopp actually agreed with him.

"Yes, sir, a three-year contract is not wise."

The Liverpool manager continued:

"However, if I can persuade Gini to give up his three-year contract and sign a more reasonable contract, will you still be willing to renew his contract?"

"I am not opposed to renewing the contract of Wijnaldum, and I am also willing to give appropriate salary increases to the team's meritorious players."

Zhang Da thought for a while and said, "However, the specific contract terms must be drawn up by professionals."

"Of course, it should be so!"

Klopp said happily, "Thank you for your understanding!"

Uncle Zha was quite happy at this moment.

Compared with his previous boss, Zhang Da is obviously much more generous.

In fact, he also proposed the same conditions to Fenway Sports Group.

But what he got at that time was ruthless rejection.

The head of Fenway Sports Group in Liverpool said this at the time:

"Jurgen, we hope that after Wijnaldum leaves the team, you can try to tap the potential of the young players in the team."

Just when he was "remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet", Zhang Da's voice sounded in his ears again.

"Coach Klopp, since you mentioned the issue of player contract renewal, I hope you can also help with Salah's work."

Zhang Da looked at Klopp and said, "Pharaoh's contract expires in the summer of 2023, and I hope to renew his contract next year.

After all, he is one of the most important players on the team, and we should be prepared for a rainy day."

"You are absolutely right, Mr. Chairman!"

Klopp drank the orange juice excitedly, "We should keep the core players in the team in advance."

"Coach Klopp, don't be so excited, I have something else to tell you."

Looking at the delighted Klopp, Zhang Da spoke again,

"Next summer, I will prepare a transfer fee of no less than 100 million pounds for the team."

"Oh, God…"

A strong impulse arose in Klopp's heart at this moment.

Tomorrow, he plans to go find Manchester City's bald coach to have a head-on confrontation.

He wants to tell Guardiola himself:

"Hi, Pep! Our family is rich!"

Thinking of this, Klopp quickly stood up and held Zhang Da's right hand with both hands:

"Mr. Chairman, just call me Jurgen."

"Okay, Jurgen!" Zhang Da also stood up, "I hope we can do something great together!"

"Of course, Mr. Chairman!"

…

I wonder if Klopp was affected by his conversation with Zhang Da.

On the match day, he looked in high spirits.

His emotions obviously infected the team members, and everyone became murderous.

That afternoon, Liverpool beat Crystal Palace in an away game with a score of 8:0!

Later in the game, Zhang Da, who was sitting with the Crystal Palace chairman, was too embarrassed to celebrate.

He has every reason to believe it.

If today's game was not an empty one, he would obviously not be able to walk out of the stadium on his own after the game.

After the game, the players rested in the hotel for the night and returned to Liverpool early the next morning.

The next game will not start until December 28th after Christmas.

The team is ready to enjoy the Christmas holiday.

As for Zhang Da, he took Tang Haitao and others and waited for the Glazer brothers in the hotel conference room.

Along with the two Manchester United bosses, there was also Manchester United's CEO, Ed Woodward, nicknamed "The Three Virtues" by the fans.

After the two parties sat down, Joe Glazer said: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, you are so young that we are ashamed."

Another Glazer, Avram, also said: "Yes, when we were your age, we were just as childish."

"You two are so complimentary." Zhang Da said politely, "Compared to the Glazer family, I still have a lot to learn about team management."

"Haha, you are so humble." Joe said, "We should communicate more in the future."

"I believe we can become friends." Avram smiled, "We are here today because we have something serious to discuss with you."

Zhang Da nodded and said: "You two, please tell me."

The two Glazers looked at each other, and then Joe said:

"During the epidemic, the team's income has dropped sharply. Under this situation, the FA and UEFA have done nothing and just watched us fall into the quagmire.

Their inaction makes us very disappointed."

Zhang Da nodded noncommittally, indicating that he was listening carefully.

In his heart, he felt that Qiao's words sounded familiar.

If you think about it carefully, isn't this the script of "The world has been suffering from Qin for a long time"?

Next, it should be time to "make big plans".

Sure enough, I just heard Qiao say:

"In order to change the status quo, we cannot allow the FA and UEFA to do whatever they want!

Now, we, the wealthy clubs, must unite in order to have a chance of survival."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Da with bright eyes.

"I have just taken over the team and I don't know the situation with the FA yet."

Zhang Da cleared his throat and said, "However, I think you two should have a plan to change the current situation, right?"

"Yes, you are very keen!" Joe smiled, "We are preparing to launch a revolution in football, a revolution called the 'European Super League'!"

Zhang Da nodded and asked curiously: "Ou Chao? Can you explain it in detail?"

"certainly."

Joe pointed to Woodward who was sitting next to him, "As for the specific ideas of the European Super League, Ed will explain to you."

Woodward bowed slightly, and then spoke for the first time:

"Bala bala..."

Ten minutes later, Zhang Da completely understood what the other party meant.

According to the idea of ​​the Glazer brothers, they plan to unite 16 wealthy teams in Europe to form a multinational league, which is the European Super League.

By then, these 16 teams will withdraw from the Champions League and will no longer be controlled by UEFA.

As for the broadcast share of the European Super League and the bonuses provided by sponsors, they will be distributed according to the team ranking after the end of the season.

To put it simply, this is a bit like the "NBA" of football.

"Mr. Zhang, please think about it carefully."

Finally, Qiao said, "We have convinced the Motorcycle Group and Datong Group to provide support for the European Super League."
Chapter completed!
