After the first round of the Premier League ended.
Fly stayed by Taylor's side, being affectionate for two days.
Then he resumed his daily training and life.
Arsène Arsène Wenger, seeing Fly's excellent performance in his debut, gave Fly an extra day off.
This could be considered Fly's privilege.
After all, in the past few years while at the Arsenal youth academy, Fly often didn't attend training on time.
At first, the youth academy head coach Neil would still talk to Fly.
Later, he found that no matter what Fly did during the week, he would carry the whole team during matches, so he didn't mention it again.
Arsène Arsène Wenger had originally planned to properly fix this bad habit of Fly.
But he found that whether Fly trained or not, his level in matches was about the same, so he turned a blind eye.
Of course, the premise was that Fly couldn't go too far; regular training had to be strictly followed.
Fly was well aware of this point.
The reason he wasn't so diligent in training wasn't because he wasn't trying.
It was because the talent ceiling of his body had already been reached.
No matter how much he trained, it was difficult to improve further.
The rest could only rely on system points to add attributes and cheat.
This was the reason Fly was too lazy to invest too much in training.
Most of his current training was just to maintain his form and feel, not to improve his abilities.
Fly's various abilities had basically reached their peak at this stage; there was no more room for improvement.
The rest could only be left to the cheat; if the system had requirements for training, he would naturally start training frantically.
Otherwise, it would all be in vain!
Also, it was after the first round of the League ended.
Regarding Fly's first official professional contract for the first team in his life, it was finally negotiated.
In fact, when Fly was promoted from the youth academy to the first team.
Discussions about Fly's professional contract had already begun.
After all, Fly had already entered the first team and certainly couldn't continue with the youth academy's child labor contract.
Although Arsenal was acquired by Dad Li, one thing is one thing.
It was impossible for Fly to play for Arsenal at a friendship price just because his own father was a major shareholder of Arsenal.
Firstly, doing so would definitely not be in accordance with the rules; the Football Association would not allow it.
Otherwise, the entire European football scene would have been in chaos long ago!
Secondly, leaving aside Fly's father, the relationship between Fly and Arsenal was essentially that of an employee and the capital side.
This naturally opposing relationship would not change because of Dad Li's existence!
Whether it was Fly himself or Allen the agent.
They would both try their best to get a better contract for Fly.
Similarly, Arsenal's management would also try their best to lower the price.
The process in between would require negotiation between labor and management.
However, Fly's special status did play a role in this negotiation; it was also a fact that the Arsenal side didn't dare to suppress the price too much!
In addition, Fly's performance in the warm-up matches and the first League match was truly too outstanding!
With sufficient confidence, Allen naturally crushed the hesitant Arsenal management.
"Fly, your contract issue is settled!"
"The Arsenal side probably saw your excellent performance after entering the first team, plus because of your father, they basically conceded without much resistance."
"Your contract is for four years, with a weekly wage of £40,000, and the salary will increase by a fixed 25% each contract year compared to the previous year."
"In addition to the goal bonuses and championship bonuses you requested, I have also secured them for you."
"The bonus for a goal is £5,000, and the bonus for an assist is £3,000."
"There are also winning bonuses; for any match you play in, as long as you win, there is a £3,000 winning bonus."
"As for the championship bonuses you mentioned, if Arsenal wins the League Cup with your help, you can receive a £300,000 bonus."
"Winning the FA Cup will earn you a £600,000 bonus."
"Winning the Premier League will get you a £1,500,000 bonus."
"Finally, for winning the Champions League, you can receive a £3,000,000 bonus."
"Of course, this comes with a condition, which is that your playing time must account for two-thirds or more of the total match time for the entire competition."
Hearing this series of clauses involving pounds, Fly couldn't help but give Uncle Allen a thumbs up.
As expected of the agent his mother specifically sent for him.
His business capability is truly strong!
Honestly, for a complete newcomer, this contract was simply outrageous!
Taking Messi as an example, Messi's first official contract at Barcelona was signed in the 2004-2005 season, and the annual salary at that time was €300,000.
Remember, it was an annual salary of 300,000, which converted to a meager weekly wage of less than €6,000.
Messi's first salary increase occurred in the 2005-2006 season, when his contract's annual salary rose to €1,000,000.
Immediately after, the second salary increase was in the 2006-2007 season, and Messi's annual salary rose to €5,000,000.
After that, the annual salary of €5,000,000 remained for two more years, until 2008 when Messi received the Silver Ball award and was poised to win the Ballon dOr.
Messi's contract then increased again to an annual salary of €8,500,000.
It wasn't until 2009, when Messi officially won the Ballon dOr, that his annual salary increased to the current €10,500,000.
In contrast, what about Fly?
The salary in the first year of his career's first official contract reached a weekly wage of £40,000, which converts to an annual salary of £2,080,000.
This salary was more than double Messi's annual salary of €1,000,000 after his first salary increase!
If this comparison isn't clear enough, you can look at the current salary situation within the Arsenal squad.
Currently, the highest salary within the Arsenal squad is Fabregas's weekly wage of £100,000.
Next is 'Tsar' Arshavin's weekly wage of £80,000.
Goalkeeper Almunia's weekly wage of £75,000 ranks third.
Even Arsenal's 'Godfather' Arsène Wenger's weekly wage is only £75,000, on par with Almunia.
As for Little Tiger Walcott's weekly wage, it is £70,000, ranking fourth.
And the genuine 'General Fan' Van Persie, his weekly wage is a mere £35,000!
In other words, Fly's current salary has already surpassed Van Persie, who has been playing for many years.
This news, which sounds quite explosive and unbelievable, is a hard fact!
However, considering Van Persie's poor attendance rate and dreadful injury history.
It's actually normal to have this salary!
Who told you to spend half the year's matches lying in a hospital bed?
It can be said that in the years Van Persie has been at Arsenal, he only started getting consistent playing time this season.
In the following season, he even delivered the best performance of his career, scoring a sensational 30 goals in a single Premier League season and winning the Premier League Golden Boot!
But at the start of the 2010-2011 season, no one knew that Van Persie, this perennial 'glass man', was about to enter the peak of his career.
Including himself, he wasn't sure about his future; after all, he had been a 'glass man' throughout his career, and even the most arrogant person had to admit defeat!
So when he learned about Fly's contract salary, other than feeling a bit sour inside, he didn't say much.
On the contrary, Wilshere, a good brother Fly had known since his youth academy days, hugged him and complained enviously:
"Fly, I'm so envious of your salary. I've been playing in the first team for two full seasons, and my current weekly wage is only £30,000. You started with £40,000 as soon as you joined. I'm so jealous!"
"Hahaha, if you had fewer injuries, you would definitely earn more than this. Protect yourself, pay attention to your playing style on the field, don't fight for tackles that aren't necessary, keeping your body healthy is the most important thing."
Fly laughed heartily and also gave Wilshere some advice.
