Chapter 180 The chain reaction of Ibrahimovic's transfer
When Rongguang returned home from the Carrington training base, he saw Deborah just put down her cell phone.
"What?" Rong Guang didn't plan to ask anything at first, but he found that Debola wanted to speak after seeing him, so he asked on his own initiative.
"Uh, call me in Barcelona..." Debola said hesitantly.
"Don't go." Rongguang waved his hand.
Although he had not publicly expressed his opinion on Barcelona, when the two sides had already entered a verbal agreement, the Barcelona Club completely refused to accept the agreement because of his injury, and still made Rongguang complain about the club.
In his opinion, although it was an oral agreement, it was also a gentleman agreement. Such an agreement should be followed.
But Barcelona's denied it was much faster than he imagined.
Since then, deep down, he has pulled Barcelona on the blacklist, and he will never consider joining Barcelona in the future.
"Hey, it's not you." Debola waved her hand.
"Why are you looking for you?"
"They asked me if I was familiar with Gao's agent. Barcelona seemed to be interested in Gao." The "Gao" that Debola said was "Gao Lin".
Rong Guang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "This is good news for Gao Lin. He was about to leave Werder Bremen. You can help contact us. If it works, it would be great."
"Then call Gao and ask him. It depends on his own wishes first. If he wants, I will intervene." Debola said.
Rongguang thought for a moment and nodded and agreed.
He hesitated and felt that Gao Lin would not refuse to go to Barcelona, so he didn't actually have to ask for his opinion.
But later he felt that he should respect Gao Lin’s own opinion - what if he is a fan of Real Madrid?
So Rongguang picked up the phone and called Gao Lin.
After the phone was connected, he told Gao Lin the news.
When he finished speaking, there was no sound on the other side of the phone.
Rongguang thought the signal was broken, and after feeding it twice, he took the phone to see the signal. At this moment, he heard Gao Lin's scream coming from the other end of the phone...
Fortunately, he just took the phone away, otherwise he would have put the phone aside with his ears covering his ears...
"Is this true?" Gao Lin asked excitedly on the other end of the phone after yelling.
"Of course it's true, Debola told me. If you don't have any objections, she will contact your agent in a while."
After hearing Rong Guang's words, Gao Lin's reaction was not to say "Okay, okay", but hesitated: "Uh... this, I just fired my agent, captain..."
"Ah?" Rongguang was really surprised to hear the news. "Why?"
"People are going to the top, captain." Gao Lin didn't explain much, but Rong Guang quickly reacted - Gao Lin's former agent was from China, with limited abilities, and had some connections in domestic football, but it was almost zero in Europe. In recent years, Gao Lin performed well in Werder Bremen, which only made him more capital to show off in China and did not do anything to develop the international market. Basically, he planned to use Gao Lin as his own money tree and golden signboard, and then make a lot of money in China.
Gao Lin was not satisfied with just being in Werder Bremen. He seemed to be on a bigger stage and his agent abilities could not keep up with his ambitions and needs.
So it's natural to fire him.
"No agent, this..." Rongguang scratched his head, "It's a little troublesome."
But Gao Lin seemed to have had an idea for a long time, and he said to Rongguang: "This, captain... can you let your agent be my agent too?"
"Huh?" Rongguang turned his head and looked at Debola.
"Hmm?" Debola looked at him with confusion.
"Gao Lin said he wanted you to be his agent..." Rongguang explained to her. "He has fired his agent."
Debola thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay."
At first, Deborah only wanted to be the agent of Glory alone. Later, she had Lucas Sutton and Kiren Resville. She no longer minded another player.
Anyway, one more is more, two more is more.
"She said yes." Rongguang told Gao Lin.
Gao Lin shouted again on the other side of the phone, but Rongguang didn't have time to move the phone away this time.
He covered his ears and handed the phone to Debola: "Tell him."
Then he dug his ears and walked away. He didn't want his ears to be deaf...
The next thing was left to Debola, and he didn't care.
Although he vowed not to go to Barcelona again, he did not object to others going to Barcelona.
※※※
Debola soon communicated with Gao Lin. Gao Lin cared very much about Barcelona's interest in him, and he also hoped to successfully transfer to Barcelona.
Barcelona's fame and status are a huge temptation for Gao Lin.
He may never have hope of winning the World Cup with the Chinese national team in his life. But if he transfers to Barcelona, he feels he still has a great chance to win the Champions League - as long as he doesn't have the luck to meet Manchester City in the Champions League knockout round like last season.
If he can win the Champions League, he can be said to have reached the peak of his career
He never dared to think about such a thing in the past
He had already told Debola that as long as he could successfully transfer to Barcelona, the annual salary and bonus were easy to say.
Next, Deborah had to do the job first to fly to Bremen, Germany, and meet Gao Lin, and both parties had to sign an agent contract.
Then Deborah went to talk to Barcelona as Gao Lin's agent.
※※※
News of Barcelona's interest in Gao Lin was soon circulated.
The news was reported in the local "Sports of Milan", "Marca", "Pictures", and the local "Sports of World" in Barcelona.
Barcelona is interested in Gao Lin, which is really a surprise to Chinese fans.
It would be natural to say that glory is valued by top European giants like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and no one thinks there is anything strange about it.
Because the strength of Glory is there. One of the best players in football today
Adding "one" is because the Chinese have the virtue of modesty.
But Gao Lin...
Many fans are positive about Gao Lin's performance at Werder Bremen. They believe that Gao Lin is already the number one star of the national team today - without glory in the national team.
But this does not mean that they would expect that a "cosmic team" like Barcelona would like to like Gao Lin...
Has Gao Lin's strength reached the level of the universe team?
Because I was so surprised, when the news was reprinted back to China by Chinese media, almost all Chinese fans' first reaction was "Aprils' Day has passed", "Chinese media is YY again", "Onion News?"...
No one believed it at all.
It was not until a fan studying abroad posted photos and screenshots of the newspapers they bought locally on Weibo that everyone realized... this could actually happen.
After glory, there will be a second player in Chinese football to play for the top European team
It's really exciting to think about it...
Weibo, a newly emerging online media in China, was immediately filled with news and discussions about Gao Lin's transfer to Barcelona. Some people are browsing Weibo every day to pay attention to the progress of Gao Lin's transfer to Barcelona.
This is the first time that on the Chinese Internet, some Chinese football players have become more popular than glory...
※※※
Rongguang himself did not care about the matter between Gao Lin and Barcelona. If Gao Lin went to Barcelona, he would be happy for Gao Lin, but if he didn't succeed, he wouldn't feel any regrets.
When the domestic Internet is full of attention and discussion about Gao Lin, he is still practicing hard.
During this period, Manchester City clubs also welcomed and sent off.
Sun Hai, a compatriot in Manchester City, originally had his contract with Manchester City club expired after the end of last season and he should have left the team. However, at the last moment, Manchester City club gave him a new one-year contract.
Benitez also specifically explained to Sun Hai that he renewed his contract, not for the sake of Glory, but because of Sun Hai's outstanding performance, he gave him another one year of contract, hoping that he could continue to help the team.
It also clearly stated that Sun Hai cannot be the main player, but the team needs a substitute player like him very much.
After thinking for a while, Sun Hai agreed to the club's annual contract. In this way, on July 1st, when the old contract expired, the new contract took effect.
Next season, Sun Hai will continue to stay at Manchester City.
Robinho, who had a falling out with Benitez in the middle of last season, was sent away by Manchester City. Because Robinho did not lower his salary requirements, there were not many teams interested in him in European football, and Robinho was still not favored by these interested teams. So Manchester City loaned him out, and the one who took over Robinho was the team he debuted that year - Santos from Brazil.
Benitez doesn't care whether it's on loan or transfer now, just don't let Robinho stay in the team anyway.
Robinho is gone, and David Silva will completely hold the main position.
However, David Silva needs a substitute, or Manchester City's strength in the midfield and frontcourt must be supplemented, otherwise the lineup will be too thin.
Martin Petrov's form is declining, and it is obvious that he is also likely to be unable to meet Benitez's request and has to seek to leave.
Although Manchester City is rich, it will not be in vain to raise a group of players who have made little contributions.
At this time, Benitez fell in love with Aston Villa's Milner.
Milner is a midfielder who can do whatever he wants in the midfield. Especially on two wings, he is good at creating scoring games for his teammates on both wings.
This is exactly what Benitez needs.
In addition, Milner has another great advantage, that is, his nationality, he is a native English player.
In the package of plans to improve the development of European football that Platini wants to implement, increasing the proportion of local players in the league is the top priority of Platini's work. The quota of local players in the future is linked to the team's European qualifications. If you don't meet the requirements, you won't even have the chance to participate in European games, even if your results in the league meet the standards.
Benitez wants to buy Milner, which has a lot to do with Milner's nationality. Players of the same level can even be said to be slightly higher than Minar. As long as they are not from England, they are not as competitive as Milner.
Besides, Milner himself is not weak. He is now the main player of the England national team and has performed well in the South African World Cup.
Last season, he also won the "Best Rookie Award" from the England Professional Players Association at Aston Villa.
But it’s ironic to say that Milner actually became famous very early. He was born in 193 and had already played in the Premier League for Leeds United two years...
At 16 years and 309 days, he was the second youngest player in Premier League history. On Boxing Day of the same year, he scored a goal against Sunderland, which made him the youngest goal-scoring player in the Premier League at that time.
Because of his performance, many people even compared him with Michael Irving and Wien Rooney. The EC website also made a vote on whether Milner would be more promising than Rooney.
But unfortunately, his life trajectory was different later. Rooney became England's top star. He transferred to giant Manchester United from Everton and was already a world-renowned star in the 204 European Cup.
Milner went to Leeds United, Svendon, Newcastle United, Aston Villa... until last season, he didn't return as the best rookie when he was 24 years old.
