Tobias is a very strong agent who is used to taking the initiative.
Whether it was inviting Gao Wen's parents to come to New York or inviting Sampras as a consultant alone, although the starting point was all well-intentioned for Gao Wen's sake, they were all implemented directly without asking Gao Wen's opinion. This is a big deal for the players and
The way brokers work together is obviously unhealthy.
Some players don't care, like Dimitrov; but some players really care.
At this moment, Tobias noticed Gawain's gaze, with a slight smile in his calmness, but revealing an elusive mystery. He did not answer immediately, but let the air become silent, and stood beside him
Against the background of laughter and laughter, the seriousness and dullness become more prominent.
For a rare moment, Tobias's momentum weakened slightly, and he realized that he had overtaken him——
Family issues, coaching issues, and planning issues are all key to a player's career. Agents and players should have discussions and discussions. They should be equal partners, rather than one party overriding the other.
.
If the agent always interferes with the player under the banner of "for your own good", then things will quickly derail. When good intentions lead to bad things, it is likely to be an irreparable and devastating blow to professional players.
Even if there is really an advantage in the cooperative relationship, it should be the players.
Gawain expressed his thoughts accurately with one look and silence.
Obviously, their cooperation still needs to continue to work out.
But the question is, how will Gawain handle this matter?
Tobias couldn't figure out the answer from Gawain's expression. Rarely, he also felt a little uneasy. Such a situation was really rare.
Then you can see the corners of Gawain's mouth rising slightly, revealing a smile like ice and snow melting, and the serious atmosphere immediately collapsed.
"Do you have that much confidence in me? Do you believe that I will be able to break through the first round? The pressure is a bit high."
With a light joke, the atmosphere instantly became lighter.
If Gao Wen is only eliminated in the first round, then there will naturally be no room for Sampras to play. Inviting parents can also use the holiday before the start of school to have some fun, but Sampras, a great player, seems a bit wasteful.
However, neither Tobias nor Sampras seemed to be worried about this matter, so Gawain made such a joke.
Tobias immediately understood the meaning of Gawain's words and chuckled, "If you don't believe that you can win, then how can you ask others to believe it? If I remember correctly, this sentence
The words should be yours to say."
"Ha, thank you for trusting me." Gawain's eyebrows were completely stretched, and you could clearly feel the joy in his eyes——
It's absolutely great to have a superstar of Sampras' level as a consultant, especially after missing the training opportunity of the Golden Game, Gao Wen needs more experience and advice to face the test of the Grand Slam, Sampras
The advantages that Plath can bring are more than one or two.
The part that Gawain is really "dissatisfied with" is not Sampras, but Tobias's self-assertion. If he sees him happily welcoming Sampras, I'm afraid Tobias will continue to cross the line in the future.
This is a very, very bad example for a long-term cooperative relationship.
Therefore, Gawain needs to express his position.
Obviously, the cooperation between Gawain and Tobias needs further adjustment, especially the "strong VS strong" two people, which need more time.
"What are you talking about?"
Sampras's voice came from far and near, Jiang Yanyun and Gao Hongli were speeding up - it's not good to keep the guests waiting, right?
Gao Wen looked at Sampras and showed a smile, "We are discussing the content of the first training session tomorrow. I am already looking forward to seeing what magic Pete Sampras can perform."
Sampras was amused by Gawain's light and cheerful tone, with a smile on his face and waved his hands repeatedly, "If you say that, I am under too much pressure. Where is the consultant I agreed with? John said, I am only responsible for making suggestions, military advisor.
, that’s the role of military advisor, something doesn’t seem right.”
Looking at the panicked Sampras, Gao Wen also laughed happily and said, "Don't worry, I won't drag you onto the court to serve as a sparring partner."
Sampras was hit by the provocation, "Oh? Are you looking down on me? I will still participate in the Elders Tournament. Do you think I can't do it?"
"A man must never say no." Gawain nodded slightly in agreement, but there was obviously something wrong with his words, which immediately made Tobias burst into laughter.
Sampras also had a look of astonishment on his face, but in the end he couldn't help but smile.
Then Gawain made an invitation gesture, "Actually, we were just talking about dinner. I have missed my mother's craftsmanship for a long time, and I can't wait now. If the guests weren't here, I would have performed it on the spot.
The hungry tiger pounces on the food."
Hahaha.
Sampras and Tobias both laughed wildly.
"Xiao Wu!"
Jiang Yanyun shouted in a low voice and signaled with his eyes:
In her eyes, Sampras is a guest, a superstar and even a legend, and she still hopes that Gawain can show his best side.
Obviously, Jiang Yanyun is still not familiar with American culture.
In front of his parents, Gao Wen did not explain anything, but immediately became well-behaved, politely invited the two guests to sit down, and also helped Gao Hongli distribute the dishes and chopsticks.
Both Sampras and Tobias said it was very novel.
This was a Gawain that the two of them had never seen before. Suddenly they saw that Gawain, who was so domineering on the field and funny and humorous outside the field, had become so well-behaved. Even though he looked like he was only eighteen years old, the two of them still tolerated it.
I couldn't help but marvel, and a smile appeared in my eyes.
Dinner was finally ready.
Time flies, Gawain can no longer remember the last time he tasted his mother's cooking, but the impression on his sense of taste is still profound. He can feel the familiar taste at the entrance, and the corners of his mouth can't help but rise, as if every cell is filled with it.
become warmer.
Raising his eyes, Gawain discovered that his favorite ribs were quietly piled up near the edge of his plate.
Jiang Yanyun was greeting the guests, but he always unconsciously piled pieces of ribs in front of Gao Wen, and then continued to talk and laugh with Sampras.
There was a hint of satisfaction in Gawain's eyes as he picked up a piece of ribs and stuffed it into his mouth.
From the corner of his vision, he could see Tobias coming back. He had just left the table because his phone vibrated, and now he came back quietly. Then Gawain could sense Tobias's gaze coming towards him, as if
I have something to say.
Gawain looked up.
Sure enough, Tobias leaned over slightly and lowered his voice, "Gao Wen, CCTV just called and wanted to make an appointment for an interview."
