Chapter 749: Breaking news is brewing (1)
However, just as Xiang Yang was interacting with cycling enthusiasts in full swing.
There is a group that is unhappy.
That is, fans.
As one of the first groups to interact with Xiangyang on the Internet, they have always regarded him and Liu Qianqian as one of their own.
He even went so far as to form a group and start a war with fans of a certain celebrity.
To express their strong support for the originator of the "Stamford Bridge Kiss".
Now, after acquiring Liverpool, Xiangyang has given back to them.
So much so that many people would rather switch clubs and regard Xiang Yang’s Liverpool as their home team in European football.
Huaxia fans are so cute.
As long as you give them a little hope, although their wallets are limited, their enthusiasm is burning.
The result is good.
After announcing the plan to sponsor the development of Chinese youth football and acquiring Liverpool, Xiang Yang actually got along with others?
Thanks to this, they didn’t know that Liu Qianqian was going to set up a youth hostel at the end of 318 to express her support to the players who supported Xiangyang in outdoor sports.
Otherwise, their jealousy will really collapse.
But even so, they also scolded Xiangyang Qiyi as a "scumbag" on his Weibo account!
How can you hang out with bikers?
Xiang Yang was also helpless about this.
Football is not like riding.
It’s not that easy to do.
Let’s take the Polytechnic University as an example.
The sponsorship agreement has actually been signed with the cooperation of all parties.
Considering that the league has just ended, the football team members have returned to the classroom, and European football events are being held.
First of all, we can’t drag the team members to training.
Secondly, Xiangyang himself did not want to delay the studies of these students.
Therefore, it would be more effective to postpone the press conference until the end of the graduation examination of this semester and organize the Polytechnic University team to go to Europe for training.
As for the rest, that will have to wait until spring begins.
And the football players who were paid attention to by scouts because of him before.
“Is the gap really that big?”
Edwards sent someone to take time out to meet with other players. When the data collected by the scouts from the four wealthy clubs was placed in front of Xiang Yang, even if he didn't know much about football, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
Asian Games.
The Chinese Olympic team still lost.
The failure to successfully advance to the finals undoubtedly disappointed the fans.
Especially because the opponent is a team from West Asia.
However, it was this game that exposed the all-round shortcomings of China's Olympic team, which is dominated by young athletes.
What's the difference?
Needless to say, in terms of running alone, domestic athletes are disgraced in this report collected by Edwards.
In modern football, although it often pays attention to the comprehensive ability of athletes.
But running is the foundation.
Whether it is offensive advancement or defensive organization, even teams that pay attention to traditional systems are paying more and more attention to this.
Because the sport of football itself is about making a fuss about space.
Running is creating space.
Unless you can gather 11 players over 2 meters tall and still keep the football from hitting the ground.
But why don’t people with this kind of talent play basketball?
So, in Edwards' report, he made a comprehensive score of players who were previously judged to have potential by scouts from several other teams.
None of them can pass the Liverpool team's recruitment standards.
Even Zhang Linfan, who was favored by Chelsea, was not favored.
Not to mention Deng Zhuoyue, Zhang Xizhe, Huang Bowen and other players on the offensive end.
In the echelons of various European clubs, there are young players who are more talented, fundamental, physical and tactical than them, waiting to be discovered.
Cultivating them is a waste of time in Edwards' eyes.
But consider the benefits from marketing.
Edwards also gave his solution, loaning the Chinese players Xiangyang hopes to introduce to "satellite clubs" that have had good cooperation with Liverpool before.
This not only solves the hot potato.
It can also re-improve the club's system.
This is what he should do as a sports director.
And written in his plan, there are the names of two clubs.
One is the Hungarian club MTK (Budapest), and the other is the Belgian club Genk.
Just in time, after taking over the position of sports director, Edwards was ready to conduct a systematic inspection of the two clubs.
Don’t underestimate MTK and Genke.
Although they have not provided many outstanding players to Liverpool, they themselves are a well-known team in their home league.
"Boss, another advantage of doing this is that we don't have to obtain labor certificates for the players, which will lead to more expenses."
Edwards added on the phone.
"Yes, indeed." Xiang Yang nodded and said: "Then you send someone to contact the players. It is best to go through Mr. Fan in this regard. He has a certain influence on Chinese players."
"I will, Boss."
Xiang Yang thought for a while, he was a little unsure whether Liverpool needed to have a satellite club in China.
However, considering the relationship between Fan Zhiyi and Director Xu, he still said: "I personally suggest that you can also get in touch with Mr. Xu through him.
In terms of transfer fees, it is better not to lower the price too much. .
After all, a player’s transfer fee is also a reflection of commercial value.”
How much does Zhang Linfan’s transfer fee cost?
About 12 million RMB.
If converted into pounds, it would be in the millions.
One million could have bought Ryan Lambert, the top scorer in League One, two years ago.
It can be seen that Chinese players are not cheap.
The price/performance ratio on the court is extremely low. Because after buying him, he won't be able to play at all. It depends on how well he can train in a slightly lower league.
And there is one thing that Xiangyang can be sure of.
Although Chelsea's scouts said they were optimistic about Zhang Linfan, most of their operations after buying him were similar to Edwards's thinking. He was thrown into a satellite club for two years to train.
In fact, there are benefits to doing this.
Firstly, it lowers the player's expectations, and secondly, it allows him to gradually become familiar with the European football environment, which is excessive.
After all, even well-known players may not be able to adapt to the Premier League, let alone
Two days later, Xiang Yang was on his way to the airport.
"What? You want me to go to Belgium?!" Zhang Linfan looked stunned after hearing the news from Fan Zhiyi and her agent.
Didn’t I say yes, it’s the Premier League.
Why did it change to such an inferior league?
"Or MTK in Hungary, the sports director of Liverpool and I have reached a consensus." Fan Zhiyi really worked hard around this transfer.
Although he couldn't change the general direction, he still got some preferential treatment for Zhang Linfan.
He is free to choose to go to either of these two teams and play for two years.
Of course, the club that acquired him was Liverpool. The contract was signed for a total of five years with an annual salary of 100,000 euros.
Correspondingly, the weekly salary is less than 2,000 euros.
This level of income is only 1/3 compared to his ability to join Guangzhou Evergrande.
But the advantage is that Liverpool will negotiate with the coaching staff of Genk Club or MTK Club to ensure his playing time.
Not much, but you can definitely experience the competitive pressure of European football firsthand.
After Zhang Linfan reacted, she looked at her manager, as if she wanted to devour him with her eyes.
Isn’t this tricking me?
If I hadn't listened to you and signed a contract with Evergrande directly, I would now have a contract with an annual salary of 3 million.
It ended up going in circles, and that’s it?
In the face of direct loss of interests, I am embarrassed to say that it makes everyone feel uncomfortable.
After all, it’s not 20 yuan.
But 2 million.
Zhang Linfan’s agent also had a sad look on his face.
He didn't expect that it would be such a result.
Even if she seeks to transfer to Evergrande now, Zhang Linfan will not be able to get the 3 million promised by Evergrande because of the salary limit order for next season.
Money is actually easy to talk about.
There are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
He asked someone to inquire and found that Evergrande had two things that were best.
One is debt.
The other is that there are many off-plan properties.
They intentionally plan to give players commercial housing to avoid the impact of the salary limit order on the club.
It’s just that he had let go of Evergrande before, and he hadn’t made contact again before. It was difficult for him to give Zhang Linfan accurate news.
"Xiao Zhang, I advise you to go out for a walk."
Fan Zhiyi advised earnestly:
"You have a body, you are still young, and your consciousness is not bad. If you go to Europe to compete with them, you may not make as much in the future as you do now.
I'll ask for you. Well, this club in Genk is basically made up of young players and can play 1 or 2 rounds of European competition every year."
"Coach Fan" Zhang Linfan looked at Old Fan hesitantly and thought to himself That's 2 million.
I have been in the team for so many years but have not received 2 million.
If you say no, it’s gone.
Going to Europe, it’s still a league like Belgium and Hungary that we don’t even pay attention to in China.
Dong Qiuwang proposed it in Belgium, but what was the result?
This person is almost gone now.
Almost the same conversation took place in the chairman’s office of the Guoan Club in Beijing, not far from Xiangyang.
Zhang Xizhe's transfer is confirmed.
The transfer fee of 500,000 euros is obviously a loss for Jingcheng Guoan, who has trained him for several years.
However, like Xu Genbao's club, in this transfer, due to their own reasons, they were not too demanding about the transfer fee.
However, the contract placed in front of Zhang Xizhe was far inferior to Zhang Linfan.
A weekly salary of €1,000.
The annual salary is only 50,000 euros, before tax.
As for the choice of clubs to play for, it is even more demanding. There is only one club like Genk, which is famous for its youth training.
No guarantee of playing yet.
The reason is very simple. Genk's current midfielder is not short of players, and there is no need for reinforcements.
The hottest young player in their midfield is De Bruyne, who has just made his debut for the national team and is only 19 years old.
After Zhang Xizhe leaves, whether he can be replaced is a question.
"Xiao Zhang, think carefully. No matter what decision you make, the club will support you." Gao Chao smiled at the young man who looked at him carefully after discussing with his agent. .
Head office, he said hello immediately.
Supported.
Release.
Although he felt sorry for it, he would never stop it.
"I" Zhang Xizhe stammered, Gao Chao waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Don't hesitate, before their winter break window opens, make a decision and get used to it early. No matter you are kicked out or not, this will always be your home."
Zhang Xizhe nodded, feeling that he knew what to choose. .
Although the annual salary is low, there is no guarantee of playing.
But unlike Zhang Linfan, Gao Chao's guarantee allows him to still play football when he returns home even if he has not been famous for two years.
So.
Zhang Xizhe took a deep breath and asked:
"Manager Gao, when can I sign a contract with Liverpool?"
"."
