Chapter 235 Kaka's Father
"Hmm. Zhang, what do you think of breaking Nodal's goal record?" During the training interval, Gattuso asked Zhang Yang like a reporter.
Zhang Yang looked at him, looked natural and stupid, pretending not to understand, "What?"
Gattuso coughed: "Hello, Zhang, I hope you can cooperate a little, okay? You don't want us to write anything casually in the newspaper."
"Are you a threat?"
"Threat? No, no, no, of course, if you have to understand this way, we have no way."
"Okay, well, I won't accept interviews from your newspaper in the future, next."
Gattuso's face twitched, "You can't do this, we are journalists, and have the right to..."
"roll!"
"How dare you do this? You are not afraid of us-"
"roll!"
Gattuso rolled his eyes, "I finally know why you are so unpopular to the media sometimes."
"You are not a real reporter." Zhang Yang said bluntly.
Hahaha!
The teammates around were laughing out loud.
This is May 12, during the training interval in AC Milan, the players sat on the grass and chatted in groups.
Zhang Yang was in a very good mood. Anyone who scored four goals in the Milan derby and broke Nodal's goal record would be in a happy mood.
Of course, what made him most happy was the arrival of his father and elder brother.
Well, it is worth mentioning that when Zhang Yang told Melissa Terrio that his family came, the French female anchor immediately seemed panicked. Zhang Yang originally planned to introduce Melissa Terrio to his family, but he didn't expect that the French female anchor shook her head repeatedly, as if she was not ready to "meet the parents".
Hearing Melissa Terrio's explanation, Zhang Yang felt that his decision was a bit hasty. He thought that meeting his family was very common, but now it seems that there is another meaning. Melissa Terrio's unwillingness happened to make Zhang Yang breathe a sigh of relief. He was not considerate himself, otherwise he would not know how to face Xia Yu.
Today, AC Milan's training class was led by assistant coach Tassoti, who led everyone to train. At this time, Ancelotti was in the office of the club's vice chairman Galliani. Not only him and Galliani were there, but also a guest in the office.
Bosco Wright, Kaka's father, is also Kaka's agent.
AC Milan fans are most willing to see Kaka on the court, but AC Milan Vice Chairman Galliani and other Milan senior executives are most reluctant to see Kaka's father Bosco Wright. Since Kaka joined AC Milan, Bosco has come to Milan City every year, shaking the invitation from various wealthy families in his hand to ask AC Milan to give Kaka a salary increase.
When Kaka first joined AC Milan from São Paulo in 2003, his annual salary was only 1.7 million euros. This is normal. Kaka was only 21 years old and was still a rookie and could not ask for a big contract. A season later, Kaka had already squeezed Rui Costa to the bench. Brazilian genius was the unshakable absolute main force of AC Milan. His value naturally increased. AC Milan increased his annual salary to 2.5 million euros. By 2005, when he renewed his contract with Milan for the second time, Kaka's annual salary increased to 3.5 million euros.
Well, at this time, not many people have questions about Kaka's salary increase year by year. First of all, AC Milan must ensure that Kaka's contract will always be maintained for the maximum period, which is the 5-year period stipulated by FIFA. It is natural to renew Kaka's contract after each season; secondly, Kaka's level is there, and it is not appropriate to renew Kaka's contract but not give him a raise. It is impossible to retain Brazilian genius for 1.7 million euros. In addition, you should know that in order to transfer AC Mi from Sao Paulo, you should
Lan, Kaka himself suffered economic losses. Because Sao Paulo was not satisfied with AC Milan's offer, he asked Kaka to give up his due signing fee, and Kaka responded, "I don't need money, I just want to play football for AC Milan", and without hesitation, he gave up nearly 1.3 million euros that originally belonged to him. This is not a small amount for a rookie, but Kaka can resolutely abandon it, so many people believe that Kaka does not play football for money.
The phone door in 2006 became a turning point between Kaka and AC Milan. AC Milan was caught in a "phone door" scandal, and rumors spread. The worst result might even be a relegation, which made Kaka doubt AC Milan. At this time, Real Madrid chairman Calderon launched an offensive against Kaka, and Kaka began to make up his mind. This gave Bosco space to operate. Kaka's father had dinner with Mijatovic in Madrid and returned to Milan City to discuss contract renewal with Galliani. Seeing that the signature star was interested in leaving, AC Milan was also anxious. Galliani agreed to Bosco's financial requirements when Kaka was still participating in the World Cup - an annual salary of 6 million euros, the highest salary in Serie A.
On June 23, 2006, AC Milan's official website couldn't wait to announce the successful renewal of Kaka, which was also to stabilize the morale of the army. Sure enough, after the announcement of this news, the morale of the team began to slowly stabilize, and some players who were planning to leave the team for transfer were also at ease. Kaka, who was very popular, chose to stay in the team, so naturally they had no reason to leave. However, this time, the Red and Black Legion quickly gave Kaka a salary increase, which made Kaka's father Bosco Wright seem to see a steady stream of euros.
2007 was a year when Kaka was very popular. The Brazilian became the world's number one star at that time with his heroic performance in the Champions League. Bosco Wright was good at dancing. Not only did he get along with Real Madrid, who was unwilling to give up on Kaka, but he even brought in top giants such as Barcelona and Manchester United. On the one hand, Bosco Wright made a lot of benefits from the hands of several giants, but on the other hand, he offered AC Milan a renewal clause: a 40% salary increase.
AC Milan cannot accept this condition proposed by Bosco Wright for the time being. Galliani dared not easily break the team's salary structure and make Kaka's annual salary exceed Pirlo, Gatuso, Inzagi and others too much. This is obviously inappropriate. However, Bosco Wright is obviously not in a hurry. He is very smart. Kaka's father understands that with Kaka's outstanding performance in the 2006/2007 season, there is no suspense to win the Golden Ball Award at the end of the year. At that time, the pressure to ask Kaka to renew his contract will fall on AC Milan. At the same time, Bo
Sco did not waste any chance. In the summer of 2007, he forced AC Milan to increase his salary for his other son Digan: 1 million euros, which was just a young defender who had just been promoted to the first team. You know, Maldini's annual salary was only 2 million yuan at that time. In fact, this was equivalent to AC Milan having to raise Kaka in disguise in order to avoid breaking the salary balance. Although this was a raise for Kaka's younger brother Digan, everyone knew that in fact, it was a raise for Kaka.
As Bosco expected, Kaka swept all the selections at the end of 2007. The status of the number one player in football is indestructible, and AC Milan can no longer delay the contract renewal. The Roscoon quickly agreed to Bosco's conditions. At the beginning of 2008, AC Milan announced that Kaka would renew his contract until 2013, with an annual salary of 9 million euros after tax. This made Kaka surpass Ronaldo and become the highest salary in football.
However, Bosco's ** has not ended here. On the contrary, the success of years of contracts has made Bosco's ambitions expand infinitely.
Now, Bosco Wright came to Galliani's office again.
"Gentlemen, congratulations on winning a crucial game."
"Thank you." Galliani made a cup of coffee for Bosco without changing his face and sat down. At the same time, Ancelotti's face changed slightly, and he could almost guess the purpose of Bosco coming here. Ancelotti also complained about Kaka's father's greed. Although how much salary the club pays players is for the club, and the money is not paid by him Ancelotti, if this continues, this will be a very bad signal. Not to mention anything else, Kaka now has a maximum annual salary of 9 million euros in the Serie A, which is much higher than many people in the team. For example, Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang's current annual salary is 3.5 million euros, even
Kaka is less than half of it, and judging by Zhang Yang's outstanding performance and contributions to the team, it is even greater than Kaka. If Zhang Yang applies for a salary increase, what should the club do? If Kaka, a young man, has a salary increase, then what should Pirlo and Inzaji do? This is a chain reaction problem. If it is not handled well, it will cause conflicts in the team's locker room. After all, the players work hard, and although there are reasons for their love for this sport, no one can deny that it is also for making money. If they get more, their contributions are not much less than that person, so they are naturally unbalanced.
Also, I just raised Kaka’s salary at the beginning of the year. Now Kaka’s annual salary of 9 million euros is already high in Serie A. After only half a year, I have been here again. This is too much.
In addition, there is another thing that makes Galliani and Ancelotti unhappy is that at the most critical moment of the team's championship, Bosco talks about certain things at this time, which is not a mess!
"Mr. Wright, how could I have time to come to my office?" Galliani asked intentionally. Bosco Wright really came uninvited. Of course, he said hello to Galliani before coming.
"That's right, I want to talk to you about my son's Kaka..." Bosco Wright said.
Galliani pretended to be surprised, "Kaka? What's wrong with him?"
"I think there was something wrong with the team's use of Kakata recently. Well, it's just a little bit of a problem." Bosco said proudly.
Galliani was really surprised this time. This vampire came to him but was not here to ask for a salary increase.
Ancelotti frowned, and he began to have a bad premonition. Ancelotti knew Bosco Wright, because Kaka's status in AC Milan is becoming more and more important, and AC Milan regards Kaka as the banner of the future. Bosco Wright knew that Milan cannot live without Kaka, so he had a little bit of "being arrogant with favor".
"The use of Kaka?" Galliani pondered for a moment, looked at Ancelotti, and said to Bosco Wright, "What is it? Tell me about Bosco, my old friend."
"I have a question, Mr. Ancelotti. Is the team now the core of the offensive, Kaka or the young man?" said Bosco Wright.
"Is Kaka asking this question?" Ancelotti frowned slightly and asked with anger.
"No, no, no," Bosco Wright shook his head, "My son wouldn't ask such questions. He is a professional player. He loves this team and strictly abides by the head coach's tactical intentions. This is just a question I asked myself. I think Kaka should play a bigger role in the game, just as he did last season."
"So what do you mean?" Ancelotti asked back.
"I hope Kaka can take on more tasks. He is the core of this team and he has the ability to continue to lead the team forward," said Bosco Wright.
"But, in fact, Kaka has always been the core of the team, and this has never changed." Ancelotti said.
While the two were communicating, Galiani didn't speak. He was drinking coffee beside him and listening slowly. He originally thought that Bosco Wright was coming to the club to ask for a raise for Kaka again, and Galiani was already thinking about how to answer. AC Milan's fiscal deficit was serious, and Berlusconi had instructed Galiani to control his salary expenditure. Galiani had just made up his mind to reject Bosco, but he didn't expect that Bosco Wright's purpose was not a raise. In this case, Galiani would not be in a hurry for the time being.
Bosco Wright interrupted Ancelotti without hesitation. He said a lot of things, and he only had one meaning. He expressed his dissatisfaction with Kaka's decline in the number of goals this season and Kaka's role in serving Zhang Yang in many games. In a word, Bosco Wright hopes that Kaka should have the most important offensive position in AC Milan, just like last season, that is, the whole team still has to revolve around Kaka as the core. Even Zhang Yang's position in offense must be behind Kaka.
Ancelotti was very angry. No head coach would allow others to point fingers at him. Of course, Ancelotti had a good temper and Berlusconi often gave orders on the side. However, Berlusconi was the club owner, and Ancelotti could only listen. There was no way, but who is Bosco Wright? It's just the father of the player, not my father. Why should I listen to you? No, even my father can't point fingers at work.
If Galliani hadn't signaled Ancelotti to calm down with her eyes, Ancelotti would have been angry long ago.
Ancelotti could only endure the unhappiness, and had to pretend to be listening seriously, and made a gesture: "Well, is there anything else besides this? Keep going."
