Chapter 238 Paul Dybala
Besides the good news, there was also a lot of bad news.
Bradford and Matthias both had off-the-charts performances; the former was injured and hospitalized, while the latter was completely out of form.
He has been in a state of "extremely poor" condition for the past two days.
Li Yanqing had previously predicted that players who had been in peak condition for an extended period might encounter various problems.
It's now certain that this is true.
Fortunately, there's only one game left in this season, and they'll be able to recover when the next season starts.
In short, we can deduce the extent of the side effects by looking at his and Bradford's subsequent situation.
Players in the midfield and defense, such as Araujo, Ibrahimovic, and Enzo, are also in terrible form, but this is due to fatigue and is normal.
As for the reporters, Li Yanqing still had no time to deal with them.
He had already arrived at the Allianz Stadium and was sitting with Ferchard and Dybala, whom he had decided to buy.
Name: Paulo Dybala
Age: 25 years old.
Status: Good.
Fatigue level: 30%.
Probability of injury: 40%.
Keywords: [Master-level through ball], [Master-level volley], [Master-level Marseille turn], [All-around striker], [Injury-prone player].
He can play any position in the attacking midfield, but in Li Yanqing's opinion, the most suitable positions for him are attacking midfielder and shadow striker.
In terms of skills, they are undeniably strong, with all but one of the technical attributes being master-level.
He's incredibly well-rounded in passing, dribbling, and shooting, and at only 25 years old, he might just be able to go even further and develop into a football legend.
If I had to point out a flaw, it would only be that it's not fast enough and it's fragile.
The term "glass person," in particular, is a rather fatal one...
With 30% fatigue, a 40% chance of injury was achieved.
However, today is different from the past.
Li Yanqing is no longer afraid to use players who are prone to injuries.
Ibrahimovic doesn't have a "glass man" tag, but given his age, he's still much more prone to injury than before.
This season has been full of tough battles, and in the end, I only felt some physical discomfort after playing for 120 minutes.
He has some experience in this area.
"To be honest, I didn't expect you guys to actually win."
"Before, you guys gave me the impression of being cowards, giving up the game as soon as you faced a strong team."
Dybala has carefully studied Burton's performance in the Premier League this year. Most of their points came from weaker teams, and they rarely won against the Big Six teams.
"We are a newly promoted team, and challenging strong opponents is not something we should be doing normally."
"But if you come, that's another story."
"I believe we can elevate the team to another level."
Li Yanqing believes that everyone can understand his decision.
Sometimes you can't just have dreams; even the head coach needs to eat.
"And we won the FA Cup."
"There's still the Europa League to play in next season."
"Trust me, your talent will not be wasted here."
Li Yanqing has to admit that most of the players on the team are there because the club needs them, not because they specifically wanted to come to the club.
This is especially evident in Dybala's case.
Felchar, who was standing next to him, didn't say a word. He had already talked to the players and didn't have anything more to say.
After a little research, as long as both parties feel there are no problems, the deal is done.
"Yes, I admit you surprised me."
"I can agree to the transfer."
"But there is another condition."
"The team must do everything it can to win the Europa League; I can't accept being away from the Champions League for too long."
"In other words, I'll only sign the first contract for one year."
"If my performance doesn't meet expectations, I will leave as a free agent."
To be honest, this is an unreasonable request.
The club will have to pay a transfer fee of £100 million to buy him, and he has only signed a one-year contract.
Most people simply cannot accept this.
However, Li Yanqing is clearly no ordinary person.
"No problem, I can agree..."
"Li! Are you crazy?" Felchar was the one who couldn't accept it the most. He didn't expect that although the transfer fee was reached, it might bring huge losses to the club.
What if we really don't make it into the Champions League?
One hundred million gone down the drain?
Not to mention that the other party's salary is not a small amount!
"Barker will fight you to the death..."
"Quiet down, Felchar. I'm in charge here." Li Yanqing glanced at Felchar with some dissatisfaction. This was the first time he had lost his temper with the old scout.
"You can question me, but not now."
“We can talk about this privately.”
“Uh…” Dybala didn’t expect his words to cause a disagreement between the two people on the other side, but he also experienced Li Yanqing’s personality for the first time.
He's probably a very strict head coach.
"Okay, let's continue, Paul."
"I agree to your conditions, but you have to agree to mine as well."
"Signing for a year is certainly not a problem, but I'm only offering two million in salary. If there's an opportunity to sign a long-term contract, I guess it will be much lower than your current salary."
"So, if you value this, we can end our conversation here."
“If you really leave after only a year, it won’t save the club a lot of money, but you have your own dreams, and I also need to give the club an explanation.”
Li Yanqing's tone was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
In his view, this was the price he had to pay to satisfy his demands.
"Two million?" Dybala pondered for a moment.
His current salary is seven million, but actually, five million isn't the most important thing.
Rather, if he really leaves after a year, even if he goes to another club, they will use this as an excuse to lower his salary.
Bosses don't care how high his salary used to be.
However, he quickly nodded.
"Okay, I promise you too."
"It's just money; it's not that important to me."
When will we sign the contract?
"Don't rush, there's a second condition." Surprisingly, Li Yanqing didn't give up there. Instead, he waved his hand and continued.
"Don't try to fight for locker room status within the team."
"Because as long as Bradford is on the team, he will never be the boss of the locker room."
"You need to understand that no matter who has a conflict with him, I will always stand by his side."
Even if he was wrong...
