"Your contract has been settled. Your weekly salary is 100,000 pounds, second only to Rooney and Ferdinand.”
Lin Xuan's agent Han Jiaying called after his substitute broke out and defeated Tottenham Hotspur in the away game.
Of course, to the public, Lin Xuan's manager was Jonathan Barnett.
Therefore, Lin Xuan's new contract negotiations were relatively smooth.
A small part of the reason was because of Jonathan Barnet's energy in the Premier League.
The other main reason was Lin Xuan's performance.
Especially in the last game, when the substitutes came out to help the team reverse the situation and win, it was simply the final blow.
David Gill agreed to Lin Xuan's agent's offer without hesitation.
Hence, Lin Xuan received a new contract for four years with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds and a penalty of 100 million.
There was also a signing fee of 5 million pounds! One-time payment!
In addition, there was also a goal bonus of up to 30,000 pounds!
The assist reward was 15,000 pounds!
The prize money for a single win was 15,000 pounds. Even if it was a draw, it would be 8000 pounds!
After all, it was only 2009, and the pound was not as worthless as it would be ten years later.
Lin Xuan could be said to be at the top of Manchester United's salary!
Moreover, the contract also stipulated that if Lin Xuan helped the team win the league title or the Champions League, he would sign a new contract and his salary would increase significantly.
Lin Xuan originally thought that such a ridiculous salary would be difficult to negotiate, but he didn't expect it to become a reality.
Good heavens, money was already a number to Lin Xuan now.
He handed over most of his assets to the management company, and the annual rate of return could basically exceed 15%.
Furthermore, many brands actively sought Lin Xuan's endorsement, including domestic and foreign companies.
"Endorsements? What brand?" Lin Xuan asked casually.
"I'll sort it out and send you a detailed report later. It's mainly about sports brands and sports drink brands.”
"Including Adi, Naike, Puma, Mizuno, Umbro, and the domestic Anta.”
"I suggest signing with Adi. The other party offered 3.5 million euros for a two-year contract..." Han Jiaying was still analyzing step by step when she was suddenly interrupted by Lin Xuan.
"How's An Ta?"
"An Ta?" Han Jiaying couldn't understand why her customer would ask about a domestic brand.
This brand had no advantage at all.
However, facing the boss's inquiry, Han Jiaying had to tell the truth.
"An Taa is very sincere. Five million RMB per year, two years contract.”
"What if I want the shares?”
"Eh?" Han Jiaying was completely stunned.
You're a professional footballer who's not even 18 years old yet. Why are you asking about shares?
Were the youngsters nowadays all so indecisive?
In reality, no one would have thought of this other than Lin Xuan.
Back then, this inconspicuous domestic sports brand could increase its market value by six times in ten years!
In 2021, the market value of Anda Sports had surpassed Adi and became the second largest sports brand in the world!
Now, it seemed that international brands were still high-end and extremely attractive.
Who would have thought that ten years later, Li Ning, An Ta, Tebu, and other national sports brands would rise so strongly?
"If you're serious, I can talk about the shares.”
Han Jiaying's agent team was very professional. Although she was confused, she still followed the reasonable suggestions of her boss.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you.”
If he could reach a deal, Lin Xuan's assets would explode in the future.
In 2020, Ronaldo's total assets would exceed 1 billion USD. Lin Xuan might be several times more than Ronaldo!
Of course, these things were not what Lin Xuan should worry about.
His main task now was to train well and compete with all his might.
As a professional player, his own strength was the biggest bargaining chip!
"Oh, right!"
Lin Xuan thought of another question.
"Please speak." Han Jiaying said.
"If the signing fee is in my account, get me a car. It's quite troublesome to go to the training base without a car now.”
Lin Xuan's current residence was rented by Manchester United. It was in Manchester City's Carriington District, about six or seven kilometers away from the training base.
Public transportation and taxis were inconvenient, so driving was better.
He had taken his driver's license test in Germany before, so he could drive a right-hand drive car in England as long as he was familiar with it.
"May I ask which brand do you prefer?”
"It's fine as long as it has enough power to drive it. You can buy it at the right price.”Lin Xuan didn't have much of a request. Anyway, it was fine as long as he could drive the car.
"Alright, I understand."
In the highly anticipated Manchester derby, Manchester United welcomed the first Champions League group stage of the season.
Manchester United was placed in Group B as a seeded team.
The opponents in the same group were the Russian super-powerhouse Moscow Central Army, last season's Bundesliga champion Hoffenheim, and the Turkish powerhouse Be?ikta?.
Manchester United's game against Hoffenheim was the most eye-catching.
Because Manchester United's current core player, Lin Xuan, was about to face his old club.
When the drawing ceremony was announced, the media had already gone through a round of hype.
At that time, there would probably be a good show.
Before the Manchester City derby, Manchester United needed to go to Turkey to challenge Be?ikta?.
Faced with two games a week, Ferguson chose to rotate again.
The main lineup was left in Manchester to recuperate. Manchester United relied on the full substitute lineup to beat Be?ikta? 1:0 away and won the Champions League for the first time this season.
Following that, with the momentum of four consecutive victories, Manchester United was about to face the derby!
The day before the Manchester derby.
The atmosphere of the derby was already quite anxious.
The old and new grudges of the past hundred years had intertwined, forming a unique "Derby culture."
The media outlets of the two teams also began to argue.
"Ferguson: Manchester City is a 'noisy neighbor.' Don't even think about surpassing Manchester United in my lifetime.""Mark Hughes: Ferguson is worried about losing this game." In an interview with the media, Ferguson replied,"It's difficult for Manchester City to enter the top four!
”
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes said: "I believe he is tired of people constantly mentioning Manchester City, and I can understand his anger.
”
"Manchester City is getting stronger and stronger. Times have changed, boss!”
After Ferguson listened, he responded strongly,"I will treat Manchester City as an opponent?
They will not be a strong side in the derby, not in my lifetime.”
The Man City duo's war of words became more and more intense. Not only were the managers of both sides involved, but even the players of both sides were involved.
In particular, Tevez, the Argentina player who defected to Manchester City this summer, joined the arms of his arch-rivals in the same city because Manchester United brought in Berbatov.
In an interview, Tevez said,""Manchester United's Edwin van der Sar is missing, and that substitute goalkeeper can't stop me from scoring.”
Then, the media asked him about Lin Xuan's opinion.
"Lin Xuan?" Tevez was a little disdainful."How many good games has this Asian played? He can't be compared to Cristiano Ronaldo."
Immediately after, the media rushed over and interviewed Lin Xuan with Tevez's original words.
"Lin! Can you talk about your opinion of Tevez?”
At the entrance of the training base, Lin Xuan was stopped by a reporter.
"Tevez?"
Lin Xuan smiled disdainfully."Why did he lose his main position at Manchester United?
Isn't it because I'm weak?"
"Since the position has been squeezed out, then show a better performance and snatch back the main position.”
"Instead of defecting to our sworn enemy in the same city and complaining like a woman.”
Lin Xuan's 30% mocking, 30% cold, and 40% nonchalant expression directly hit Tevez's sore spot.
He only shouted weakly,"Manchester City will completely freeze him and win this game!”
Just like that, in the tense atmosphere between the two sides, Lin Xuan finally welcomed the first derby in his career!
Manchester United would be playing against their arch-rival, Manchester City, at the Dream Theater at Old Trafford!
Very soon, the two teams announced the starting lineup for the derby match at the same time!
Manchester City: Starting goalkeeper Shay Given, the player with the most appearances in the history of the Republic of Iceland national team.
The four defenders of the rear defensive line lined up in a row: Richards, Lescot, Kolo Touré, and Bridge.
It was worth mentioning that the top of Manchester City's defender, Bridge, was probably already green, which was the "friendly wife incident" that would shock the English football world a few months later.
Manchester City's midfielders were the double defensive midfielder, De Rong, Bellamy on the left, Wrightn-Phillips on the right, and Stephen Irishman, the attacking midfielder.
The forward was a single forward, Tevez!
This lineup was not as "inhumane" as it would be a few years later, but it was still very tough and strong!
Immediately after, Manchester United also announced their starting lineup!
Manchester United's rear defensive line did not change. The midfield was Fletcher's defensive midfielder, Lin Xuan as the center midfielder, Giggs on the left, and Ji-sung Park on the right.
Forward Rooney partnered with Berbatov.
Unexpectedly, after the announcement of the starting lineup, the most excited ones were the Korean media!
