Chapter 146 Changsheng and Raiola's first confrontation (32/136)
Why did Chang Sheng, when he had the opportunity to take advantage of Real Madrid, leave out so many famous stars, such as Solari and Morientes, but instead wanted Cambiasso who was on loan?
Just because he needs a defensive midfielder.
The defensive midfielder is the most important position in his tactics. Because the core of the Mad Dog tactics is the master of organization and retreat. Guardiola is the master of organization, and Cambiasso can also be the master of organization.
In his idea, having Albelda, Baraja, Guardiola and Cambiasso in the defensive midfield position is enough, and Marchena can also play as a defensive midfielder. Five defensive midfielders are not enough support.
One season? Unless you are so unlucky that you injure your midfielder every month.
But now Guardiola is injured and will not participate in games as the main player in the coming seasons.
In this way, I still only have three midfielders...
Of course this won't work.
I still need to strengthen my defensive midfielder position.
But who to buy?
This needs to be considered carefully.

Chang Sheng found that when the season is coming to an end, he is actually the busiest.
He finally tricked two Real Madrid players into joining him. Guardiola was injured, and he himself had to find a successor for Guardiola.
In addition, Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola, who has been honest for most of the season, also came to visit.
In fact, when I later heard that Ibrahimovic had changed his agent, and that this agent was Raiola, Chang Sheng had been waiting for the other party to come to him.
He knows very well who Raiola is, a ruthless character who will never let him suffer.
When dealing with old foxes like Moji, he can have the upper hand.
For such a strong person to become the agent of such a rebellious player like Ibrahimovic, Chang Sheng felt it was not a good sign.
Who knows what nonsense Raiola will teach Ibrahimovic behind his back.
In the time and space that Chang Sheng is familiar with, Ibrahimovic made many transfers, and the Italian agent was behind each transfer.
When Ibrahimovic was already thirty-one years old, he was still able to move the Swede to join Paris Saint-Germain from AC Milan, earning Ibrahimovic an annual salary of more than 12 million euros.
Not to mention Raiola is indeed very capable.
Dealing with such a capable agent is always a headache.
As a head coach, Chang Sheng is inherently biased against players' agents.
But we still have to deal with it.
※※※
In his office, Chang Sheng met the famous Italian agent Raiola.
People say that Raiola is the "godfather" of Italian agents. He was indeed born near Naples, and his behavior is quite similar to the Italian Mafia.
He is loyal, but has a bottom line and principles. Sometimes, he can choose to make concessions for the sake of interests, but there are some things that he will never give in to, and those are his principles.
For this reason, he can have a falling out with the club's top management, and he can make other agents his enemies.
But he will always seek to maximize the interests of his players.
For players, Raiola may be a good agent.
But to the club, the head coach, and even other agents, Raiola is an out-and-out bastard and a bad person.
The Raiola in front of me did not come to see him in a formal suit. He was dressed casually, with a Polo shirt on top and jeans on the bottom. If you look closely, there seem to be some stains.
Compared with him, Chang Sheng, who was wearing a suit, seemed a little nervous...
Chang Sheng curled his lips inwardly after seeing Raiola's outfit.
Are you planning to overwhelm yourself with your clothing?
This agent seemed very polite and had a good attitude, but I didn't expect that he also had hidden agendas...
interesting!
Although Chang Sheng was able to guess why Raiola came to see him, he still pretended to be confused because he understood.
"I wonder if Mr. Raiola flew here from Italy specifically to see me for anything?"
Raiola smiled: "Actually, I think Mr. Chang should already know that I am here for Ibrahimovic."
Although his smile should be a friendly smile, when it appears on Raiola's face, coupled with his gangster temperament, it always feels like a treacherous and sinister smile, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Chang Sheng automatically ignored Raiola's smile and asked calmly: "Ibrahimovic? What's wrong with him?"
Raiola continued with that special smile on his face: "No, there is no problem. But I think you should also know very well that based on Ibrahimovic's performance this season, his salary is somewhat inconsistent...
…”
"Oh——" Chang Sheng nodded with "sudden realization", as if he really just remembered it.
In fact, this was done to show Raiola, who already knew about this.
When Ibrahimovic was signed, the salary given to the Swede was indeed not high. On the one hand, Valencia's financial situation was not very good at that time, and it could not afford to pay Ibrahimovic who was not yet in Europe.
Players who have proven themselves in mainstream leagues are offered very good salaries. On the other hand, Chang Sheng also wants to save a little bit. After all, if the salary is high, it will also affect his transfer budget. This is all
A habit he developed when he first played FM.
When Ibrahimovic continues to score goals, assists, and performs better and better this season, and is on the front page of the media many times, he will know that he will win a salary increase sooner or later.
Don't fall off.
He is also willing to give Ibrahimovic a salary increase because Ibrahimovic's performance deserves a salary increase.
When Ibrahimovic was having trouble, Chang Sheng wanted to sell him for a time, but he didn't expect that he finally came to the door to admit his mistake, and his behavior after that was completely unremarkable.
He can score goals and provide assists to his teammates. He is like a fish in water in the mad dog tactics and can enhance the power of the tactics.
Such a good center naturally deserves a better salary.
But Chang Sheng also has a bottom line in mind.
Raiola cannot be allowed to speak freely, he can take as much as he wants.
"A salary increase, yes, a salary increase. In fact, we have already considered this. Geratan's performance this season is obvious to all, and giving him a salary increase is a reward for him."
After hearing what Chang Sheng said, Raiola scolded Chang Sheng in his heart for not telling the truth.
Using "reward" means that this is a reward given to Ibrahimovic by the club, not what Ibrahimovic deserves. Ibrahimovic takes it and it feels like
Ibrahimovic took advantage.
But in fact, this should be the income Ibrahimovic deserves, and it is definitely not a charity from any club.
Then Chang Sheng took out a document from the drawer and placed it on his desk.
Raiola, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and walked to the table, picked up the document, opened it and glanced at it, then raised his head and looked at Chang Sheng again.
"This is a new contract we have drawn up. You can take a look and raise any problems. If there are no problems, I hope we can sign it as soon as possible." Chang Sheng pointed at the contract and said.
Raiola was a little surprised, and then cursed Chang Sheng in his heart for this little fox.
He thought that his sudden attack could catch Valencia Club off guard. When he took the initiative, he could let Valencia Club follow his own pace.
Who would have thought that they had even drawn up a contract... Who knows when they did this kind of thing, but they just suppressed it and refused to take it out, insisting on waiting for him to come to the door.
It can be seen that if I don't take the initiative to come to the door, I'm afraid that this stupid club will not take the initiative to add Ibrahimovic until the end of his contract!
Raiola cursed in his mind, but his glasses and hands were not idle. He quickly looked through the contract, and despite his speed, he actually didn't miss a single detail.
For a broker like him, the contracts he handles can probably be hauled by a truck, so he knows very well what should be included in the contract and what should not be included.
When he saw the column of Ibrahimovic's salary, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he closed the contracts and put them back on the table.
"I don't think my players will accept a weekly salary of 20,000 euros."
"Why? I think the weekly salary of 20,000 euros is very reasonable. You must know that the average weekly salary of the entire team is only 17,000 euros." Chang Sheng was slightly surprised.
He didn't lie to Raiola here.
Although the salaries of some players in Valencia are indeed very high, overall, Valencia's salary is not high. The average weekly salary is really 17,000 euros. And he originally paid Ibrahimo
In the new contract formulated by Vic, the weekly salary is 20,000 euros, which he thinks should be considered a reasonable price.
You must know that at this time, European football is not thinking about the future, and inflation is not yet very serious.
There are not many investors joining this game and disrupting the market order.
A weekly salary of 50,000 yuan is considered the salary of a top player. In the future, it will often be 80, 90, 000, or 100,000 yuan.
A weekly salary of 20,000 euros would be absolutely no problem for a 20-year-old player at the beginning of the 21st century.
But Raiola was obviously not satisfied.
"Ibrahimovic is the team's top scorer and has great commercial appeal. I don't think 20,000 euros can correctly reflect his strength." Raiola did not give in.
"Commercial appeal? That's your business. The club won't get a penny of the money he earns from commercial endorsements. We are not Real Madrid here, and we have to take away 50% of the likenesses of franchise players.
"There is no need to talk about commercial appeal, Mr. Raiola." Chang Sheng also had a tough attitude. "It is precisely because he is the team's top scorer that we gave him this price, otherwise he might
The weekly salary is just over 10,000 euros."
The smile on Raiola's face disappeared.
"But this is unfair to Ibrahimovic. Because as far as I know, the Norwegian striker Carew, who has not had a few appearances this season, has a weekly salary of 40,000 euros! Is it possible that Ibrahimovic
Isn't it unfair that Rahimovic's contribution is not as good as that of a substitute? Chang, sir?" Raiola took off the mask used to disguise himself, revealing his "very mafia" side
, his voice also became louder, his body language increased, and his tone also changed.
It fully expressed his contempt for the young head coach.
In his opinion, he has experienced many battles and has seen all managers and head coaches who are difficult to deal with.
You are a fresh head coach who is not yet thirty years old, so what is so great about you?
So from the very beginning, he didn't pay attention to winning. This can be seen from the way he dressed. Entering the Valencia coach's office, he was as casual as if he was in the bedroom of his own home.
But Raiola really should have done more homework before coming. Even if he knew more about Chang Sheng, maybe he would not make such a thing or judgment.
Because this time he really met his opponent...
Chang Sheng noticed the change in his tone of voice, the increase in his body language, the change in his sitting posture, and the change in his expression.
All in all, he saw threats and contempt for himself from this agent's performance.
Chang Sheng did not interrupt Raiola with a higher voice, but waited for him to finish speaking, then smiled and said to Raiola: "Ah, yes, we have also noticed this problem. So be honest
Said, I am planning to sell this Karu who has a high salary but little contribution."
Raiola lowered his face and the smile disappeared. But the smile on Chang Sheng's face only grew stronger. If Raiola is familiar with Chang Sheng, then he must know what this smile means.
But actually it doesn’t matter if you don’t know, because Chang Sheng’s words have already made it very obvious.
When he heard Chang Sheng's words, Raiola was stunned for a moment, then his pupils narrowed and his eyes narrowed.
There is something in these words...
Is this threatening yourself?
If his demands are "excessive", will he also consider selling Ibrahimovic?
Raiola suddenly realized that the fledgling head coach in front of him...maybe different from what he thought. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to (this site), reward, and your
