Football: King of Penalty Area
Ch. 89 - Contract Negotiation, VflRhine-rhur II

It's been over a year.

Looking back, it had been over a full year since the return trip.

This year is probably the most beautiful year of thirty years of life. From a young and middle-aged runner to a sixteen-year-old boyhood, he has managed to become the professional player he once dreamed of.

This was the best year of thirty years of inaction. Raynaldi hopes this will also be the worst year in the next thirty years.

During a short two-day vacation, Raynaldi suddenly took a break. The recent explosive growth in popularity has greatly expanded the virtual stadium, and additional facilities are also starting to be complete. Raynaldi can fully complete the maintenance training and competition in the virtual stadium.

He also took advantage of this holiday to take care of his contract extension with Leverkusen SC. This time Raynaldi played well in 2.The Bundesliga, but in reality he is still a player with a young team contract.and his salary is still the same, there is no goal scoring bonus or anything, after all, it is a youth contract.

This was also one of the reasons for Raynaldi to re-sign. Joko Sasongko negotiated and decided to first sign a pre-signing contract with Leverkusen SC club, at least to earn a signing fee.

Previously due to age limitations, Raynaldi could only sign a youth contract with the club. So after he turned 17, he can now sign his first professional contract.

Raynaldi has performed very well in the 2.Bundesliga, it is time to sign a real professional contract.

In fact, Joko Sasongko and his team have started contacting Leverkusen SC since February, but they will have to wait for the parties to arrive before they can make a final decision.

Compared to Joko Sasongko and the others, Leverkusen SC is the most anxious.

Whether it's the sporting director, Sven Hope, or the general manager, Jurgen Nagelsman, and even head scout Andre Thomas, as well as Leverkusen SC chairman, Strutz, attach great importance to Raynaldi's signing.

When Raynaldi was in the youth team, like Mark Wagner, Alex Khan and Joshua Klinsman, they were the geniuses to watch out for, but they have yet to reach the level of Raynaldi which attracts more attention from the outside.

In addition, Raynaldi's non-German nationality worries the club's top brass as they fear Raynaldi will sign with another club. There are now many clubs that fax offers to Leverkusen SC and one of them is the Italian giants from Milan.

Because Raynaldi is not from Germany, it is still possible to go to any team. He has no attachment to the club or the country in which he plays. Of course, the reason why Leverkusen SC had not noticed Raynaldi before was also because he was new to professional football.

Raynaldi just touched on professional football training a year ago. However, one year could grow Raynaldi which now also surprised many parties.

The name Raynaldi has recently become popular in Germany. Despite playing in the second league, but his achievements are also surprising. With 20 goals in 12 games, Raynaldi has only lost to Nkufu who scored 23 goals in 28 games.

Despite losing the number of goals from Nkufu, but the efficiency of Raynaldi was more than twice Nkufu. This makes Raynaldi a high-quality bargain in the eyes of many European clubs.

Now, Raynaldi's name must have entered the field of vision of many top clubs, but Raynaldi has famously been too short, and may not really fit into the rich family's "shopping basket, but they must have started to notice this young man as a potential stock.

Leverkusen SC is of course anxious, in addition to speeding up the contract process they also agreed to all of Joko Sasongko's requests as long as it still makes sense. Because the better the performance of the player, the more initiative there is in the player's hands.

During this period of time, Joko Sasongko and Leverkusen SC have contacted several times, and they have previously completed the contract salary level of Raynaldi's senior team. Now both parties still have bonuses and some contract terms have not been negotiated.

Raynaldi and Joko Sasongko discuss that as long as the first salary is feasible, about 25,000 euros per week, but the details of bonuses and contracts should be indispensable.

Now the Leverkusen SC plan is roughly as follows, giving a relatively high appearance fee, whenever you can get an appearance fee of 1,200 euros, the goal bonus is slightly lower, each goal is 300 euros, every time you can get an appearance fee of 1,200 euros, and if Raynaldi represents the first team to play 30 games, the base salary will increase by 10% for next season.

But Joko Sasongko and Raynaldi believe that appearance fees could be slightly lower, and the assessment bonus needs to be increased.

Joko Sasongko told Raynaldi that Leverkusen SC should agree to such a plan. After all, for now, Raynaldi had the initiative.

Finally after some debate and negotiation, a specified appearance fee of 1100 euros, the goal scoring bonus is 500 euros per goal and the assist bonus is 200 euros per assist. As well as the bonus of the league gold shoes of 1 million euros and the bonus of the best players of the league of 1 million euros.

. . . . .

At Leverkusen SC's board of directors, Raynaldi and Joko Sasongko were greeted by Sven Hope and Jurgen Nagelsman.

Raynaldi is one of the important contracts that needs to be completed before the summer break. Especially now that the condition of Leverkusen SC is not good.

This season, Leverkusen SC is only ranked 13th in the Bundesliga which is fairly bad. Because with the power of Leverkusen SC should be easy to secure a place to Europe.

Leverkusen coach at the start of the season has been sacked on the winter break and replaced by Bastian Flitz who was also an acquaintance of Raynaldi while playing in the youth league.

"Hi, Sas, Ray, welcome back to Leverkusen SC." In mid-April 2008, Raynaldi and Joko Sasongko appeared in Sven Hope's office to discuss the details of the new contract.

After several talks to discuss the contents of his previous contract, Raynaldi signed a 4-year contract with Leverkusen SC. Next season will be the first season he plays for the Bundesliga side.

. . . . .

Koln Athletics play against Vfl Rhine-rhur II at home. The relegation opponents who failed to beat in the first half of the season are currently third from bottom. This position is not safe. Although 2.Bundesligae has only two relegation places, the second after the last and the third of the last is to participate in the relegation playoffs.In this game, the second after the last, Vfl Rhine-rhur II followed Munich 1906 II and focused on Raynaldi's defense, they also sent defenders with very strong tactical execution to defend Raynaldi.

In terms of ability, the player named Van der Struid is indeed inferior to Belgium international Simmons, but it would be uncomfortable if there was someone staring at him all the time, especially Raynaldi who is still a player who has just worked for less than a year.

In fact, when Raynaldi opened the free space and forced a kick, Van der Strui made a slow shot and did not chase him, he only touched the ball a little, and his kick was interrupted by him. Raynaldi's shot at the end just hit the pole and ejected.

The game scene is very boring. Thomas Sobek is a conservative coach, and the Vfl Rhine-rhur II attack is not very good. Raynaldi was watched to death, and Koln Athletics seemed to return to its original state at the start of the season.

In the 91st minute of extra time, Buhari's cross was successfully gored Robert.

Goalkeeper Vfl Rhine-rhur II jumped to pull over the ball which made the ball fall inside the penalty box causing chaos in the penalty box.

When there was confusion in the penalty box, the ball was swept out of the box and fell in front of Raynaldi. Without thinking, Raynaldi immediately shot the ball hard into the top right corner of the goal to change the score to 1-0 for Koln Athletics.

This goal also closed the match to a Koln Athletics victory. This result also led Koln Athletics to jump to 2nd place in the standings after Armina Oldenburg suffered a draw.

In addition, Raynaldi has also collected a total of 21 goals in 13 games which makes it only 2 goals away from the leader of the scorer list 2.Bundesliga, Nkufu who scored a total of 23 goals.
