"Nigel, is there really no problem if we do this?" Miguel Cobas, the captain of Sporting Gijon, asked the bald man next to him. This is his agent Nigel Ro
De Welch.
Rod Welch encouraged him to ask the club for the highest salary in the team. To be precise, he asked to be on par with Fernando Hierro, the former Real Madrid captain who had just joined the team.
Miguel Cobas couldn't resist his agent's instigation and did it. However, he kept beating the drum in his heart. In fact, Miguel Cobas's original salary was 600,000 euros a year. This time, the club
It is intended to increase his salary to 800,000 euros, which is second only to Hierro in the team. Miguel Cobas is quite satisfied with this, but agent Rod Welch is not
Not satisfied, he encouraged Miguel Cobas to ask the club for the same salary as Hierro.
"What are you afraid of, Miguel." Rod Welch said with a smile, "An old man like Hierro can get one million, why can't you? You are the captain of the team and the biggest contributor to the team's upgrade!
"
"But -" Miguel Cobas hesitated.
"There's nothing wrong with it," Rod Welch said beguilingly, "You are also showing your importance to other players in the team. At least you can't be lower than Hierro."
Hearing what Rod Welch said, Cobas stopped talking. There have been rumors within the team these days. It is said that head coach Li Ang plans to make Hierro the team's captain for the new season. This rumor makes Miguel -
Cobas felt uncomfortable. He admitted that Hierro is a famous Spanish player and the former captain of Real Madrid has great fame and influence. However, this is Sporting Gijon, he is the captain of the team, and he is the hero of the team's promotion.
Heroes should not be treated like this.
In fact, his guess was correct. Li Ang did intend to make Hierro the team captain. In Li Ang's view, he is the team's head coach and he has such rights. Moreover, Li Ang has concerns about Miguel Koba.
Si was not satisfied. This player did not have leadership qualities. This was evident from the chaos in Sporting Gijon before Leon took over the team. Miguel Cobas was not able to stabilize the chaos in the locker room at all.
Although he stopped talking and accepted what his agent Rod Welch said, Miguel Cobas could not calm down. He did not know whether his move would cause dissatisfaction with head coach Li Ang. Although
Li Ang has only coached the team for half a season, but Miguel Cobas is also afraid of the harsh side of this Chinese head coach. This is what he is worried about.
***********
Leon was very unhappy when he learned that Miguel Cobas was asking for the highest salary in the team and the same salary as Hierro.
In fact, with Miguel Cobas' ability, the club is willing to give an annual salary of 800,000 euros even though it is not financially well-off. This is already a high-standard treatment for the captain of last season's team.
, it can be said that it is very interesting. This salary is not low in the current Spanish football and among the newly promoted teams.
"Lee, are you planning to make Hierro the captain of the team?" Scottry asked Li Ang.
"That's right." Li Ang nodded. He didn't need to hide this at all, and Li Ang was very sure that there wouldn't be any resistance to this arrangement within the team. The former Real Madrid captain became the Gijon captain. This
There will be no obstacles at all. Many Sporting Gijon players can be said to have grown up watching Hierro play and admire the veteran very much. Hierro is the captain and can completely control the situation. Moreover, Li Ang
I believe that with Hierro’s leadership and professionalism, Sporting Gijon’s locker room will be healthier, more cohesive, and more effective. The power of example is endless.
With Hierro as captain, Li Ang can rest assured.
Scoteri nodded. He also supported Li Ang's decision. Hierro becoming the captain was indeed a good move.
"It's just that I think Miguel might be unhappy," Scottry said.
"Why is he so unhappy?" Li Ang frowned. Miguel Cobas indeed has no leadership skills. This is not Li Ang's prejudice, it is a fact.
"You can talk to him again." Li Ang thought about it and said to Scott Terry on the other end of the phone, "With a salary of 800,000 euros, the club is very sincere."
Li Ang suggested that the club give Hierro an annual salary of one million. This is because of Hierro's ability, the influence that Hierro's joining can bring, and how the veteran's experience and prestige can help the team. And, to be honest, this
It was also a favor. Hierro agreed to leave his high pension salary in Qatar and come to Gijon. It can be said that he made a sacrifice in terms of personal interests.
Therefore, giving Hierro the highest salary in the team is a reward from Liang to Hierro, which is a symbol of the most important player in the team.
***********
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Ang got up early and arrived at the Maleo training base early.
The weather was very good that day, and the sea breeze in the morning made everyone feel very comfortable.
Today is an important day. The whole Sporting Gijon team will gather today to start training for the new season.
Li Ang was chatting with his two assistants Scott Rui and Banderas in the office. Everyone was in a happy mood. Starting today, the team will start preparing for the new season of La Liga. Everyone is
The fighting spirit is high and I am looking forward to the La Liga matches.
At this time, the office phone rang.
"Lee, I caught a thief. He said he was one of our players, but I don't think he is a good person..." said Vazquez, the old gatekeeper of the Maleo training base.
An angry and fast-talking voice came from the other end of the phone, in French: "Hey, old man, why don't you let me in? I told you I'm a player on the team, Frank Ribery, a famous French player...
..." Then there was a barking of a dog. It was the Scottish shepherd named Osgo, the caretaker Vazquez.
Leon laughed when he heard this. He could completely imagine Ribery's impatience when he was refused entry and could not communicate with Vazquez because he only spoke simple English.
However, the scar on Ribery's face is indeed very scary. It seems understandable that the gatekeeper misunderstood Ribery as not a good person, although it is wrong to judge a book by its appearance.
***********
Li Ang smiled and said, "Mr. Vazquez, you have performed your duties very well, but he is right. He is indeed our player, Frank, Ribery, the new player of the team."
"But, he doesn't look like a good guy. How can there be such a player?" Vazquez muttered, and next to him, Osgu continued to shout twice, as if to conform to his old master.
"Hey, old man, do you want me to give you an autograph?" Ribery shouted from the side.
Li Ang laughed.
"Give him the phone." Li Ang said.
"Coach, why doesn't this old man let me in?" Franck Ribery's voice yelled over, and the guy looked very aggrieved.
"This is what I told you." Li Ang said while holding back a smile, "I told the gatekeeper that I would greet you personally. Maybe you can't understand what he said."
"That's it." After hearing this, Ribery immediately became happy. He was really aggrieved just now and felt that he had been discriminated against. This hurt the Frenchman with strong self-esteem, but now he heard that he was the head coach.
The arrangement was to welcome him in person. He was immediately happy, and then said, "Should I apologize to this old man? My attitude is not very good."
"Forget it, just wait patiently, he won't understand you anyway." Li Ang said with a smile, "Give the phone to the janitor."
***********
"Lee, it's me," Vazquez said.
"Okay, your work is great, Mr. Vazquez." Leon said, "Don't worry about this matter. I'll be right over."
"Okay." The gatekeeper said, "But, Li, is this guy really our player? I think he..."
"He is our player." Li Ang laughed loudly, "Mr. Vazquez, don't underestimate him. He will be a very important attacker for us. Just wait and cheer for his goals."
"real?"
"real!"
"Oh well!"
Then Leon heard Vazquez shouting to Ribery on the other end of the phone, "Boy, have you had breakfast? Do you want some together?"
"Do you want my autograph?" Ribery shouted, "No problem."
Li Ang smiled and hung up the phone. On July 17, 2004, the morning of the training camp for Sporting Gijon's new season started in this way...
What a happy day.
ps: First update. Supplement 5/44.
I didn't resurrect with full health yesterday, but today I checked the information yesterday and went to bed before one o'clock. I got up early today and worked hard to implement the update plan during the day.
Everyone, let’s take a look at the author’s actions. (To be continued.)
