Chapter 136: The National Team Rookie and the Opening of the European Cup
After that, Lin Supo and Shaparev returned to Yanjing for training with the national team. There will be a friendly match against New Zealand on June 28, which was decided before Mourinho took office.
The European transfer market has not yet opened. There are some transfers within the Premier League, but they are all small fish and shrimps. In a competition year, no team will choose to sell players before the game starts, unless the buyer is taken advantage of.
After all, if a player performs well in the cup, the price can be increased a lot. Even if the performance is not good, as long as it is not very bad, it will not affect the selling price. The national team is different from the club. You cannot deny the club because of the performance of the national team. This is a situation where you are guaranteed to make money without losing money.
Only a fool would sell the national team ahead of time.
For example, Shearer called Lin Supo to tell him that he was going back to his hometown of Newcastle, but Blackburn are not negotiating with Newcastle at all.
Shearer is England's number one player, and Blackburn are waiting to make a fortune from him.
Because there is no agent, many transfer invitations come from Spartak Club. Spartak Moscow is also preparing to recover a large sum of money from Lin Supo and Shaparev.
Lin Supo has made his demands clear. After all, he has won the Russian Super League and the Russian Cup, and there is almost no hope for the Champions League. He is not a Russian.
Shaparev's situation is more complicated. Although he is still very young and his potential has not been fully developed, because he chose the Chinese team, although Mourinho takes the initiative to take responsibility, he will still be attacked by some fans. This
Under these circumstances, leaving the Russian Super League is the best choice.
Including Newcastle, where Shearer wants to go, Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, and some Serie A and La Liga teams, they have chosen to negotiate with Spartak Club.
No club can resist a combination that produces more than 40 goals in a season.
Lin Supo has no objection to the transfer with Shaparev, but is very happy. Many players are not accustomed to playing in foreign countries, especially those with more introverted personalities. If Shaparev does not have a familiar teammate around him after the transfer,
You will definitely sink like this, there is no need to think about it.
He may not be as good as the homesick Navas.
Fortunately, Shaparev's market is very good and will not affect Lin Supo's transfer. Many teams want to package two players together. Lin Supo is very popular, but Shaparev is young and cheap.
The important thing is that you still have talent, and the situation is not suitable for staying in the Russian Super League. Some players who are not lacking in wingers want to come and take advantage. If you can't play, you won't lose much, but if you play, you will make a lot of money.
Lin Supo was annoyed by the transfer matter, so he had to tell the club to let them talk casually. After the transfer market opened for a period of time in mid-July, he would make a choice based on each club's intention and sincerity.
The transfer market is not open now, and there may be variables if the deal is reached. It is also a waste of his time. It is better to let Spartak Club take care of it.
At this time, Lin Supo felt that he needed a professional agent, otherwise he would not have so much energy to deal with off-site matters. Judging from his many years of experience in watching the news, Mendes was very reliable, but he didn’t know Mendes.
What is Si doing now? Is he still running a video store?
Agents are so important to players.
There were basically two types of mainstream agents in the 1990s. One was the "very human trafficker" like Wagner Ribeiro. This was also a popular model in South American football and Eastern European countries. Powerful people relied on their own resources and clubs.
With their connections, they obtain the agency rights and even part of the ownership of talented players, and then sell the players to Europe. Most of the time, the players do not get much salary when they go to Europe, because those agents negotiate contracts for them in order to get more money.
The salary is very low, so many South American players are in a dilemma these days when they first arrive in Europe. The representative of Eastern Europe is an agent like Mamic, the protagonist of Modric’s perjury. Mamic also needs the salary that players get when they transfer to Europe.
Shares, and on a smaller scale, are similar to the story of Ronaldo and the dentist, where agents who are not agents or unsuccessful agents find a talented player and start cheating the player, and then sell the player to Europe to make a fortune.
The other is a more responsible agent who has a close relationship with the players, like family, but most of them have no ability. It was only after the salary in football skyrocketed that more agents were able and willing to consider the players. Today’s agents
Most of them have some connections, and then rely on their relationship with the club or coach to earn some intermediary fees. It is difficult to actively bring any resources to the players.
I know Lin Supo very well about this era, so I want to meet Mendes so much.
Mendes is obviously a very capable person who doesn't only care about money.
There may be a more suitable agent than Mendes, but he doesn't know him.
The European Cup is about to start, and Shaparev’s decision to play for the Chinese team has finally been decided. As for why it only took more than a month, I can’t say more. It’s just like the corruption incidents frequently exposed in the 2002 World Cup and FIFA.
two.
On June 28, the Yanjing Workers' Stadium was packed with seats.
Originally, Lin Supo wanted to give Shaparev a Chinese name, but later he was not satisfied with it, so he simply called him Shaparev, the first player planned for the national team, without saying much.
On the contrary, the fans were really happy.
The banners put up by the Workers’ Sports are all in Russian!
Bloodline planning itself is more convincing. In addition, nowadays everyone envies foreigners. The significance of being able to plan a white player has transcended football.
It is no exaggeration to inspire people's hearts.
Shaparev, who appeared with everyone, immediately felt the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans.
There were loud cheers, and I didn’t know that I thought the Chinese team had already won.
Director Zhang laughed and joked: "Lin Supo certainly didn't expect that after he persuaded Shaparev to join the national team, he would fall out of favor immediately."
Of course, this is just a joke.
Shaparev, who started the game, also proved why he deserves Mourinho's personal invitation. It was the first time that Chinese fans saw a player wearing the Chinese team's jersey, and he was outstanding.
Shaparev's passing did not use his body as much as Maradona's, but his skills were not bad at all. New Zealand defenders were like nothing in front of him, and he even ignited the workers' body when he passed 5 people on the right at once.
First Lin Supo, then Shaparev, fans obviously saw the rise of Chinese football.
However, New Zealand was better than those in the preliminaries. In the end, the Chinese team only won 4:0 at home. Lin Supo scored twice and Shaparev had a goal and an assist.
At the post-match press conference, Shaparev became the reporter's biggest concern.
Mourinho, on the other hand, didn't answer anything, but instead brought up the topic of the European Cup, which will start in two days.
"What you should focus on is the European Cup, not a player who is playing for the first time. He is still very young and has a lot of room for improvement."
