Chinanews client April 9th, Beijing time, Real Madrid Club of Spain announced that football, basketball first team players and coaching staff and senior management, according to the situation at the end of the season, voluntarily reduce this year's salary by 10 % -20%. After a large-scale shutdown due to the epidemic, the topic of "money" in European football has emerged in an endless stream.
Real Madrid is not the first football giant to cut wages. Earlier, Real Madrid's "adversary" Barcelona has issued an announcement, saying that the club's board of directors and all professional team players will reduce their salaries by 70%, to overcome difficulties. In addition, Serie A Juventus and other clubs have also announced a decision to reduce pay.
But not all players are willing to accept salary cuts. A total of 17 players in the famous Slovak Premier League club Zilina refused to pay cuts. In a rage, Zilina announced the termination of the 17 players and said they lacked loyalty to the club.
Announcement on the official website of Zilina regarding the liquidation of assets by the club.
The new crown pneumonia epidemic caused huge economic losses to the club, and the dismissal of 17 players also caused Zilina to collapse in an instant. The club publicly announced that the team has begun to liquidate assets. The well-known Spanish sports newspaper "Marca" even broke the news that this team has entered the bankruptcy liquidation process.
The Swiss Premier League club Xiyong also faced a similar situation. The club's economic situation has always been bad. It has been 3 months before the outbreak of the outbreak. The epidemic increased the burden on the club. Constantine, the boss, wanted players to accept a short-term contract with a pay cut, and all players who refused were terminated.
In addition to players, how to place club staff has become a big problem. The Premier League giant Liverpool once announced that some of the club ’s non-football employees began to suspend their work on leave and ensured that they would receive full wages.
According to the relevant British government policy, the government will pay 80% of the wages of all employees who cannot work during the epidemic, with a maximum of 2,500 pounds per month. The affected Liverpool employees can apply to the government for 80% of the salary, and the remaining 20% of the salary will be made up by Liverpool.

After Liverpool adopts this approach, they only need to bear 20% of the salary of these employees, and the rest 80% is borne by the government. Previously, Premier League clubs such as Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Bournemouth and Norwich have announced similar practices.
But this behavior was met with many doubts. Some people criticized that the Liverpool club had a turnover of 533 million pounds last season and a pre-tax profit of 42 million pounds in February. It should not use the employee retention plan during the outbreak of the government to save employees ’salaries. The government's financial pressure also affects other companies that need the help of this plan.
Many Red Army celebrities also expressed their disappointment. Harman said: "This is unethical and the values of this club."
On April 7, Beijing time, Liverpool Club CEO Peter Moore issued an open letter announcing the withdrawal of the temporary dismissal application and apologizing for the previous decision. (Finish)
