Seven-time Champion

Chapter 681: Laureus Award four times in a row

Views:

Winning the 2013/2014 Ligue 1 title eight rounds in advance drove the city of Paris into a frenzy.

There is no doubt that this is the first champion produced in the top five leagues this year, and Paris fans have enough reasons to celebrate.

The team celebrated until late that night after returning to the hotel. The next day, they returned to Paris and partied with the fans at the Parc des Princes, and then took two days off.

On March 25, in the French Cup quarter-finals, Paris Saint-Germain faced Guingamp at home.

Although the crazy celebrations of winning the championship early made the players a little distracted, Paris Saint-Germain still relied on their strong overall strength to beat Guingamp 3-1 and advance to the French Cup semi-finals.

After the game, Lu Wenbin flew to Asia urgently, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to attend the 2014 Laureus Sports Awards ceremony.

There is no doubt that Lu Wenbin once again won the Laureus Male Athlete of the Year Award, winning the Laureus Award for four consecutive years.

Given Lu Wenbin's current status and his continued abnormal performance, apart from the fact that he did not win the best player award due to the limited strength of the Chinese team in the Confederations Cup, there is basically no chance for anyone else to win the best athlete award that Lu Wenbin could have participated in.

On March 28, the 31st round of French Ligue 1, Nice VS Paris Saint-Germain.

Before this game, Blanco was ready to give up the league.

Although it is a pity to give up the winning streak and the unbeaten streak, the league title has been won anyway, and the next game is the Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea. Blanco feels that he can give up the league and strive to secure the Champions League.

But the management of Paris Saint-Germain does not think so, especially the will from the Qatar Investment Authority.

Seeing Paris Saint-Germain's smooth performance this season, the management feels that it is entirely possible for Paris Saint-Germain to win the treble this year under the leadership of Lu Wenbin.

In this way, Lu Wenbin will leave Paris Saint-Germain next season.

As long as Lu Wenbin leaves, Paris Saint-Germain will never have the chance to win the championship with an undefeated record in the season.

With all the teams winning the treble, the undefeated season, and even the six-crown title, Paris Saint-Germain can only achieve true global fame by winning the season with all wins and no losses.

Therefore, even though Paris Saint-Germain had won the championship eight rounds in advance, the top management still gave Blanc a shot of prevention before the game, requiring him to fight for victory with all his strength, not to give up the league, and strive to win the championship with all wins in the season.

From Blanco's perspective, doing so is a bit of a loss.

But one word from management touched him.

As long as he leads Paris Saint-Germain to achieve a perfect record and win the championship this season, it will not only be a glory for Paris Saint-Germain, but also a glory for Blanc as the head coach. This will become the most glorious season in his coaching career.

It has to be said that Blanco was impressed by the prospect.

Therefore, even though the next game is the Champions League, Blanc still fielded most of the main players in the 31st round of the league.

However, Lu Wenbin, who flew back and forth between Europe and Southeast Asia to attend the Laureus Awards Ceremony, did not start but sat on the bench.

Without Lu Wenbin to organize the attack and concerned about the next Champions League match, the players were a little afraid to fight, resulting in a 0-0 draw with Nice in the first half.

Seeing this, in the 65th minute of the second half, Blanco had to send on Lu Wenbin.

But Lu Wenbin is not a real iron man. After flying back and forth to Southeast Asia, he did not get enough rest and was indeed tired and in poor condition.

But despite this, Lu Wenbin still made a stunning pass in the 85th minute, fooling Nice's defenders and assisting Cavani to score the only goal of the game.

Thanks to a wonderful assist by Lu Wenbin, Paris Saint-Germain won 1-0 away from home and continued their winning streak this season.

After the game, Blanc was bombarded by the Paris media and fans.

One focus of everyone's criticism is that Paris Saint-Germain had already won the league title ahead of schedule, but Blanc did not prepare the team for the next Champions League game. He sent most of the main players to play in the away league, and even sent Lu Wenbin, who flew back and forth from Southeast Asia, in the second half.

What most Paris media and fans want most is the Champions League, not the illusory title of a season with all wins.

There's no trophy for that one.

Only the Champions League has a trophy, and it is the most dazzling trophy at the club level in European football.

Not only the media and fans, but also the players have complaints about Blanco's approach, thinking that it is not very wise.

Only Lu Wenbin guessed one thing, that Blanco might be under pressure from the club's top management.

Because Lu Wenbin's unique contract makes it possible for him to terminate his contract and leave after only one season, the club's top management wants to squeeze out all his labor and strive to win enough trophies and records in the season that Lu Wenbin plays.

They want to win the Champions League, and they don't want to give up on winning the season without any losses.

Lu Wenbin is mentally prepared for this. As long as he has no physical problems, he doesn't mind leading the team to get another unique record.

But if there are any problems with his physical fitness, he will definitely give priority to playing in the Champions League and the French Cup. As for the league games that have already won the championship, even if he is sent to play, don't expect him to give his all.

Although this situation is rare given Lu Wenbin's physical condition, Lu Wenbin already has a plan in mind.

The equity negotiations with the British club have entered the final stage. The equity share and the conditions for future share increases have been agreed upon, but Lu Wenbin’s salary and bonus are difficult to determine.

Because Lu Wenbin will be both a shareholder and an employee in the future, the other party hopes that Lu Wenbin's salary will be lower, but Lu Wenbin and Mendes disagree.

We cannot lower Lu Wenbin’s worth just because he becomes a shareholder.

This is Lu Wenbin’s face and signboard.

Many private company bosses also pay themselves annual salaries of several million or tens of millions. They cannot work for free just because the company is theirs.

The boss’s labor also needs to be calculated as salary, and this expenditure should also be included in the cost of business operations.

Another thing is that the club is still in the Championship and has not entered the Premier League. Only when it enters the Premier League will the contract between the two parties take effect.

Because Lu Wenbin is too perverted, in order to avoid match-fixing and collusion, UEFA has imposed restrictions on Lu Wenbin's acquisition activities: as long as Lu Wenbin becomes a shareholder of a European team, he can only play for that team while he plays in Europe.

Therefore, this negotiation can only take effect after the club is promoted to the Premier League.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lu Wenbin to play in the English Championship, the second-tier league in England.

Fortunately, the club is currently in a strong momentum in the Championship. Not only is it ranked first, but it also has a huge lead. It is very likely that it will be successfully promoted to the Premier League several rounds in advance.
