Chapter 56: Burning money is also a technical job! The arrival of Shaq¡¯s 1,000th goal in his career caused a sensation in European football. This is simply an incredible miracle given the development of modern football to this day. More importantly, everyone knows that these 1,000 goals will never be the end of Shaq. Shaq, who is only 27 years old, is far from the golden period of his career. Even if his scoring efficiency is declining, but Even if it drops further, scoring one goal per game is still a remarkable achievement. What is unexpected is that after Shaq scored 1,000 goals, it was as if he had emerged from his cocoon and turned into a butterfly. He no longer deliberately pursued goals in the game, but only created opportunities for the team that needed him in goal. His hard work was only shown when he was a terminator. Such changes have made it more difficult for Barcelona's opponents to guard against it, and Shaq used his goals one after another to push Barcelona forward On May 17, when Barcelona relied on Shaq in an away game After defeating Villarreal 6:1 with Gram's 5 goals and Vasquez's goal, they ended the La Liga with a crazy record of 38 games, 36 wins, 2 draws, scored 154 goals, conceded 16 goals and accumulated 110 points. schedule. This is already the second consecutive season that Barcelona has won the championship with an undefeated record and 110 points. Moreover, Barcelona scored 4 more goals this season than last season, and this was after Shaq "only" scored 84 league games. In terms of goals, it was 18 goals less than last season¡¯s 102. This is enough to prove that today¡¯s Barcelona has become stronger. They no longer rely on Shaq alone to win, but rely on the entire team to work together to defeat their opponents. May 23rd. Barcelona defeated Roma 2-0 in the Champions League final with goals from Shaq and Vasquez, completing the defense of the Champions League. Four days later, on May 27, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-0 in the Copa del Rey final, completing another triple crown. They won six championships in a season and six in a year. A championship, regardless of whether Barcelona is in front or behind, they are both well-deserved "six-time champions". The player with the most goals for Barcelona this season is still Shaq. Although the score of 132 goals in 64 games is not as good as last season's performance, the average efficiency of 2.06 goals per game is still the best in football. The player with the second most goals is Vasquez. The 24-year-old Catalan genius has finally matured. He scored 36 goals and 33 assists in 61 games this season, which is better than last season¡¯s 18 goals and 42 assists. There has been a great improvement, and now Barcelona fans can finally completely forget the "little flea". Messi has played a total of 88 games in Atletico Madrid in the past two years, scoring 44 goals and assisting 30 times. Not even compared to Vasquez, let alone compared to Shaq. In the UEFA selection at the end of the season, Shaq became the big winner as in previous years. He won the European Golden Boot and the European Golden Ball. He will not be left behind in the selection of Dream Team and Best Team. After all, this season Shaq is still the same as he has been for the past six years. He won everything with his unparalleled performance In the summer, the flames of the European Championship were ignited. As the defending champion, the "Three Lions" performed abnormally in the first game and tied with the Portuguese team 0:0. , Alan Shearer's formation has been criticized. His 442 formation is obviously not suitable for the existing players of the England team. In the second group match, Alan Shearer still arranged a 4-4-2 formation. However, David Martial, the striker from Manchester City, retreated and hid behind Shaq, returning all the space to Shaq. After this move was used, the "Three Lions" really regained their feeling, mainly because Shaq regained the state of the game. The England team also defeated Norway 3:0 first, and then defeated Sweden 2:0. , Shaq scored in every game. After entering the quarter-finals of the European Championships, England defeated the Irish team 5:0. Shaq scored another goal in the game. In the semi-finals, they defeated Turkey 5:1. Shaq scored twice and scored twice. His scoring efficiency in this European Championship has increased to one goal per game. In the final against Croatia, Shaq finally showed his power. He scored two goals in the first half and forced his opponent to score an own goal with a header. In the 57th minute of the second half, he scored a hat trick and scored 9 goals. The ball became the top scorer in this European Championship. After four years, the "Three Lions" completed the feat of defending the European Cup with the help of Shaq's 23 goals in two quarters of the European Championship! Coupled with Shaq's 14 goals in the World Cup and 9 goals in the Confederations Cup, Shaq used 46 goals in four World Series in four years to help the "Three Lions" complete the competition with the United States. The Spanish team has an equally brilliant record. Countless celebrities in English football have stood up to praise Shaq. From beginning to end, everyone has been clear that the "Three Lions" can achieve such brilliant achievements mainly because they have Shaq. ?Simon Grayson, who watched the final between England and Croatia in person, commented on the current England team: "Alan's work ability is worthy of recognition. Stuart, me, and Alan, all three of us led the England team to achieve success. We have achieved varying degrees of success, but this is not just the work of our three head coaches. The real heroes are the players on the court who are bleeding and sweating for victory and fighting against strong opponents.¡± Simon Grayson said this. It makes sense, but it doesn't sound so good to the ears of those who care about it. The four absolute main players of the England team, Shaq, Ben Parker, Jonny Howson, and Ashley Hood, are all his "brutal" "Simon" was originally trained from Leeds United and has now become a household name. When Simon Grayson says this, it naturally makes people think that his contribution to English football is greater. Although this is indeed the case, but Some people still think that Simon Grayson is taking credit for himself. But why should Simon Grayson be like this today? "Cruel Simon" is now the number one coach in world football. His annual salary of 30 million euros at Barcelona has set a world record for football coach salary. He has led three teams to win five Champions League trophies, the league championship, With countless cup titles, Simon Grayson really doesn¡¯t need to put gold on his face anymore. He is the most outstanding and successful head coach in world football and even football history. As for Shaq no one dares to doubt Shaq's achievements! Whether he is playing for the club or playing for the England team, Shaq's achievements in Leeds United, Manchester United, Barcelona, ??and even the "Three Lions" are the highest heights a player can achieve, even in No one before Shaq thought that a player could perform so amazingly. Shaq's reputation today has surpassed that of Pele, Maradona and other football king-level superstars. His influence in English football has also reached unprecedented heights. Fanatic English fans have dubbed him "Legendary Shaq". Call him, now he may be able to decide who will be the coach of the England national team with just one sentence. He may even get a lot of votes if he enters politics and runs for office. After four years, the "Three Lions" returned to England again holding the Delaunay Cup. When the whole country was celebrating, there were also many changes in the Barcelona team, and the impact was huge. Even Simon Grayson was not allowed to do so. Not giving up on my plan to go back to England to visit relatives and friends, I rushed back to Barcelona without stopping. The first is that assistant McAndrew is retiring. The 64-year-old Tony McAndrew was too excited when the England team won the cup and suffered a heart attack. He had to say goodbye to football and rest. Simon Grayson¡¯s old partner left Manchester United from Manchester United. Following him to the England team, and then to Barcelona, ??they achieved dazzling results together, but they never left Simon Grayson to go solo. It's not that there are no teams waving checks to lure the old man, but McAndrew prefers to enjoy football. Joy instead of stress. Simon Grayson's return to Barcelona to visit McAndrew is only one aspect. He must also find a qualified assistant immediately. Lello Taglie, Di Vayo and others are not qualified assistants. The first thing an assistant coach must have is to be very strong. It¡¯s hard to find such people with good management skills. In addition, the team's 38-year-old veteran goalkeeper Valdez made a request to retire and was willing to serve as the goalkeeper coach in the team. Simon Grayson also had to agree. Finding another No. 3 goalkeeper became a summer transfer new tasks. And Rosell is also looking for Simon Grayson. The chairman of Barcelona is not looking for trouble for Simon Grayson, but is begging him to burn money! Although the club gave players a large-scale salary increase last season, the team's salary expenditure reached an unprecedented 157 million euros, bonuses also reached 63 million euros, and 30 million was distributed in loyalty awards. In addition, player purchases, staff salaries, venue maintenance, A total of 480 million euros were spent on glue, etc., but in the end Barcelona still made a profit of 42.76 million euros. The new season has not even started yet, but Barcelona has signed two more sponsorship contracts, with sponsorship revenue reaching 210 million euros per season. According to the budget of the Finance Department, it is very likely that this season will be profitable again. This is very important to the company. This is really a troublesome thing for a membership-based football club and will be very detrimental to the long-term development of the team. After all, when members find that the club has too much money to spend, it will not be so easy to increase membership fees. However, Russell discovered that Simon Grayson didn't seem to like spending money very much. He only threw money at it when necessary, otherwise he wouldn't spend much money. This made him very upset and had to issue tough instructions. Simon Grayson has to spend a lot of money to buy a superstar this season, even if he sells him at a loss next season, it doesn't matter. The request from the chairman of Barcelona made Simon Grayson feel a bit dumbfounded. Barcelona is really perfect now. Which position do you want to add?It's not that easy. After all, stars who are too famous don't like to be substitutes. This money is not easy to burn!
