After Inter Milan was crowned the Serie A champion, Zhang Kangyang participated in two live broadcasts on Western and Chinese social networking sites.

He talked a lot, such as Inter Milan having the opportunity to visit Chengdu this summer to see the giant pandas, such as the four coaches he has worked with are Serie A champions, such as the significance of Moratti, and so on. I won't repeat them here, if you are interested, you can go to the official to see it.

At present, in Italy, the hottest topic to discuss is Zhang Kangyang's self-exposed shortcomings: the problem of "adding chicken legs".

The first live broadcast that Zhang Kangyang participated in was organized by players such as Thuram and Calhanoglu. The player said to Zhang Kangyang: Our transfer fee is zero, it is better than a cup of coffee, and the boss must not give a gift?

Zhang Kangyang said: "To be honest, they ask me for it, I usually give it, which is also a shortcoming of mine, I know that other clubs definitely don't give it." ”

After winning the championship, this kind of "extra tip" is indeed rare in Serie A.

Most of the big Serie A teams sign players with contracts that already stipulate how much money they will receive if they win the title.

For example, the contract that has been disclosed, to win the Serie A title, Inzaghi Jr. will receive an after-tax bonus of 1 million euros.

These terms in black and white will be triggered as soon as they win the championship, and there is no need to say more. Therefore, what the players asked Zhang Kangyang for was an extra gift in addition to this.

Zhang Kangyang basically gave it all, just how much.

He said that although Inter is a loss-making team, "for the club, especially Inter, to put the winning of the competition first, so we have to give everyone the confidence to sprint in this direction".

It's a kind of tradition. During the Moratti period, Inter often gave extra tips after winning the championship. Someone asked: What about the time of Tohir? There is no problem, he doesn't even have a share of the smallest championship.

Zhang Kangyang didn't just shout slogans.

For example, in the season when Conte won the championship, Inter Milan had to borrow loan sharks to maintain its operations, but after the Nerazzurri won the championship, the additional reward of the whole team (coach + player) was still more than 6.5 million, and the runaway king Conte also had a share.

For example, Inter Milan won the Super Cup this season, although it was not the top first-line trophy, but Inter also gave an additional bonus of 1.5 million euros.

This may be the difference between Chinese thinking and Western thinking, the East pays attention to "rewarding merit and punishing crimes", taking the championship has an increase in income, and sharing some money to reward the hero, even if you give a double reward, you don't feel that there is any disobedience. The West prefers to use the so-called "spirit of contract" as an excuse to save money, since there is a bonus in the contract, there is no need to pay extra real money to increase the financial burden.

According to the "Milan Sports Newspaper", winning the second star, Zhang Kangyang will "give an additional reward" of at least 3 million euros to the whole team to show his gratitude.

Calcio e finanza introduced that since most of Inter's existing players, coaches, and staff contracts originally had a floating prize for the champion, the total exceeded 10 million. Add in the extra tip, and it's not a small amount of money. Specifically, Inter Milan has won two trophies this season, contract award + additional prize, which will exceed 15 million, and it can be said that the team is very generous and sincere to the heroes.

The issue of tipping is emphasized because this matter is not just a trivial issue like the New Year's money.

Commentator Altobech pointed out: In horizontal comparison, in the past three seasons, this problem has directly led to the phenomenon of "two defending Serie A champions changing faces". The mistakes made by AC Milan and Napoli should be avoided by Inter. In longitudinal comparison, an important reason for the decline in the speed of light after the Triple Crown is also the outbreak of the salary crisis, which took Inter many years to recover. It's all a lesson from the past.

After AC Milan won the championship, when fans around the world sang "pioli is on fire", the Rossoneri's salary increase secret battle also broke out completely.

The Rossoneri did not deal with the problem. What happened next is well known, the high-priced Mr. Casey and others left the team because of the renewal issue, and the high-priced Mr. Leao and others were distracted by the lengthy contract renewal negotiations after that, and the following season AC Milan fell to fourth in Serie A.

After Napoli won the title, things got even worse.

Instead of generously rewarding the heroes, De Laurentiis staged a series of farces of "capital is cold and unloads the grinding and kills the donkey". This left the team with a staggering drop in results.

Because of this, although the capitalist has always felt that everyone in Serie A except him is a rookie, but nowadays, in the municipal square of Naples, a large number of fans often gather to protest, thinking that he is the fighting chicken among rookies.

The phenomenon of "the head of the city becoming the flag of the king" is not accidental, and it is not an isolated case.

In any case, the football team is also a battleground for the labor-management game. Before the results are released, employees only think about business, and after the results are released, the first thing to pay attention to is money. However, it is also true that the company has continuous losses, and the boss has great difficulties, and will pay special attention to the problem of cost reduction. The contradiction between the two made Inter Milan take a great risk after winning the championship. How can the Nerazzurri avoid repeating the mistakes of AC Milan, Napoli and their own history, and the core idea is to find some balance between 'reducing costs' and 'winning'. However, when the two had to choose which side to choose? De Laurentiis and his ilk preferred the former, so Naples collapsed. Zhang Kangyang revealed his shortcomings of "not being good at refusing players to ask for rewards", and this is because of the thinking of "winning first", showing that he is fundamentally different from the Napoli owner.

There is reason to expect that Inter, with this kind of thinking, will not replicate the tragedy of Napoli that changed beyond recognition after winning the title.
