afternoon.

Newcastle United Club held a signing ceremony and a press conference for Zhen Shaolong.

The atmosphere on the scene was very hot.

The seats in the venue were filled early, and there were many people standing in the open space in the back row. Every reporter was waiting patiently. Their expectant eyes could tell that Zhen Shaolong's influence has become different from the past. His crazy performance in the Bundesliga and the League Cup made him one of the hottest stars in Europe.

In the just-passed Toulon Cup, Zhen Shaolong also proved himself with a goal.

Five games, seventeen goals.

Even in the Toulon Cup in the youth competition, this data is very terrifying. Many forwards dare not imagine it, which means that the opponents' defense line has no effect on him at all.

Newcastle United's official signing of Zhen Shaolong has also attracted the attention of many media and fans.

Newcastle local media and fans are also full of expectations for Zhen Shaolong's joining. The last time he was so noticed was the British "Golden Boy" Michael Irving. I don't need to say much about Irving's fame and strength, but Irving has been in an injury state for a long time and has played too few times each season, so he has not made much contribution to Newcastle United's performance. The media and fans are a little disappointed.

Now it's changed to Zhen Shaolong.

"What will this young Chinese striker perform at Newcastle United?"

Many people are talking about it.

Zhen Shaolong came very early, and he stayed in the nearby room, with two important figures accompanying him—

Head coach Sam Alledes.

Chairman Michael Ashley.

When Zhen Shaolong passed the physical examination, he said that he could officially join and become the "personal person" of Newcastle United. The atmosphere of the conversation between them became relaxed and the content became more in-depth.

Sam Allardyce was very concerned about Zhen Shaolong's condition. He repeatedly asked about his physical condition when he came in, and also used words to examine Zhen Shaolong's technical and tactical abilities.

Of course, there is no result.

Allardyce was a little disappointed that Zhen Shaolong had no interest in the content of the technical and tactical conversation. When it comes to football matches, he only likes to talk about "how to kick the ball in".

"I have confidence in the mid-range and close shooting and can score as long as I have the chance."

"Tactical aspects... I hope my teammates can cooperate with me."

"Only I will be focused on defense by my opponent, but I am used to it. It's no big deal. Others can play normally, so there is no need to arrange special tactics for me..."

Allardyce kept nodding.

The communication between Zhen Shaolong and Alledes was not pleasant. He could feel it, and Alledes could feel it, because both sides were not on the same channel at all.

Allardyce hopes to exchange adjustments to tactical play. A top star came to the team, and the tactical play had to be adapted to changes, but he did not get any useful information. Zhen Shaolong can be said to have "no requirements". He just acted as an attitude of "you can play any tactics, just let me play."

"All right!"

Allardyce is a little powerless. The opponent is an extremely capable striker. He probably shouldn't ask for too much.

Zhen Shaolong and Ashley had a more pleasant conversation.

That's how he sees it.

The two people's topics were not limited to superficial greetings, but they all went deep into the 'personal attitude' and 'education and financial support for future generations'. For example, Zhen Shaolong asked about Ashley's family and heard that he had a son and a daughter, and then asked, "Have you considered distributing property to children?"

"Of course not."

Ashley said with certainty, "I'm still young and not the time to consider property distribution."

Zhen Shaolong glanced at Ashley a few times and found that the other party was really young, with no white hair on his hair. Then Ashley asked in confusion, "What are you asking about this?"

Zhen Shaolong said, "I just..."

He stopped talking.

Ashley suddenly realized, "Do you want to get married and want children? Right? Indeed, it feels different to have children. You will want to pour everything into your children."

Zhen Shaolong gave Ashley a thumbs up, looking like 'You completely guess what I want'.

Ashley patted Zhen Shaolong on the shoulder and said seriously, "You are still very young, about the same age as my son. My daughter Florra is two years younger than you. I suggest that they should not get married early, or even fall in love too early."

"Marriage is a man's grave!"

"If I have a choice, I really want to go back and live alone. Of course, my son and daughter are better off being there too. Yes, I don't plan to get married, but I need children..."

Zhen Shaolong listened patiently and nodded in agreement, thinking that he should make a report when he saw Ashley's wife?

Ahem...

He is not that kind of person!

finally.

The signing ceremony officially began.

The process of the signing ceremony is divided into: introduction, signature, photo taking, announcement, and final free interview.

The Newcastle United held the ceremony very grandly, and it was a detailed introduction to Zhen Shaolong.

The goals were reviewed continuously on the big screen.

Although there are only goals in the league and League Cup, the playback time is as long as twenty minutes. Because Zhen Shaolong scored too many goals, one goal scored more than ten or twenty seconds, and the playback process was not repeated. The reporters who came were overwhelmed and had a new understanding of Zhen Shaolong. "His performance is really good!"

"A total of more than seventy goals!"

"If it is normal for statistics and evaluation, he will probably win all the best goals in Europe..."

“…”

After the video was played, the press officer summarized Zhen Shaolong. Chairman Michael Ashley came on stage to deliver a speech, almost to welcome Zhen Shaolong and look forward to his performance. Then he entered the signing stage.

With the audience applause, Zhen Shaolong walked straight to the stage, pretended to carefully flip through the contract, and signed his name below.

This is by form.

The contract between the two parties has been signed long ago, and what was taken out on the stage was a printed contract, so there is no need to read it in detail.

Next, Zhen Shaolong held the No. 13 jersey and took photos with club chairman Michael, head coach Allardyce, and a series of unknown supporting staff.

There were also representatives of fans in the middle of the journey, and they came up and took a few photos.

Next step.

The press officer officially announced that Zhen Shaolong became a member of Newcastle United. At the same time, he announced several contract details, including the signing period, goal bonus, the team's winnings for good results (such as the top four in the league), and other terms for scraps.

Among these released details, only the 'goal bonus' is worth paying attention to.

What media reporters are most concerned about is Zhen Shaolong’s specific salary, but Newcastle United has not announced it, and it is estimated that it will not be announced in the future.

Then only guess.

‘Goal bonus’ is the data that can reverse the salary. Based on the amount of the goal bonus, they estimate that Zhen Shaolong’s annual salary will be at least more than 8 million pounds.

"This is an amazing value!"

"Ashley said that Zhen Shaolong may be the highest salary in the Premier League, about 8 million is not enough, right? I think it should be worth 10 million!"

"This goal bonus amount is definitely the highest in the Premier League!"

"But it depends on the goal number..."

“See performance!”

Finally, it was the free interview session.

Faced with so many reporters and fans' attention, Zhen Shaolong didn't feel nervous at all, because when he was attracted by a lot of attention, "Privacy" will play a role.

He can say whatever he wants.

When the reporter asked about Newcastle United's feelings, he said, 'I feel a little excited', and then praised Newcastle United. Ashley couldn't even close his mouth. He said to Allardyce, "Zhen, what an honest young man."

Alledes nodded dullly.

When the reporter asked about his opinion on the transfer, he immediately said 'is quite satisfied', "I am a little reluctant to leave St. Pauli, but anyone has to face the future, not live in the past. I like it very much, and I believe I can achieve excellent performance here."

The reporter immediately grabbed the topic and asked the key question, "What do you think is excellence? Or, what are your expectations for the performance of the new season?"

"Looking forward?"

Zhen Shaolong thought hesitantly and blurted out a word immediately, "I look forward to using the goal bonus to repay the debt for buying a house..."

"Use the goal bonus to pay back the debt for buying a house?"

This sentence has become hot news.

Newcastle United Club announced Zhen Shaolong's goal bonus terms. His goal bonus is still very gorgeous. The terms list the prize money for each event in detail. Among them, the league's goal bonus is the most complicated. It stipulates that the total prize money for the first five goals is 100,000 pounds; the total prize money for the 6th to 10th is 200,000 pounds; the total prize money for the 11th to 15th is 300,000 pounds; the total prize money for the 16th to 20th is 400,000 pounds; the total prize money for the 16th to 20th is 100,000 pounds; each goal scored is 100,000 pounds.

The prize for the Cup goal is 20,000 pounds.

If Newcastle United wins the top four in the Premier League and qualifies for the Champions League next season, Zhen Shaolong scores more than ten goals and can get an additional prize of one million pounds, while the UEFA Champions League goals will be 100,000 pounds.

In addition, the Europa League goals and league goals are calculated as superimposed.

All bonuses are pre-tax.

According to the above bonus terms, if Zhen Shaolong scored twenty goals in the league, he would get a prize of one million pounds. Newcastle United entered the top four of the league and could get an additional one million pounds.

So some media estimated that, "Zhen Shaolong said he would use the goal bonus to repay the house debt. His goal is to lead Newcastle United to the top four and score twenty goals in person?"

"His goal is so high!"
