Looking at the fax in his hand that was sent to Horford's office almost at the same time, Friedman felt really bad.
Let’s take a look at the content first. The first fax is from Manchester United, the leader of the Premier League. Although there is a lot of content, there are only two core points. The first one is that after the winter transfer window opens, it is hoped that Li Yi’s liquidated damages will be higher than the current amount.
The price is twice as high, which is commonly known as sign first and trade later, using 20 million pounds to introduce Li Yi, currently the hottest striker in the Premier League. In addition, not only Li Yi, while seeking to buy Li Yi, Manchester United also made a bid for Crystal Palace.
, Bell, who guards the left wing, is both offensive and defensive, and extremely fast, also expressed strong interest. 13 million pounds, less than 6 months after buying Bell, the price has more than doubled. After all,
Crystal Palace made a lot of money.
If the Red Devils didn't take action, they would directly target the two core members of the Crystal Palace team. If it weren't for the lack of offensive playmakers like Modric in the team, the Red Devils would definitely attack the Crystal Palace Trident without hesitation.
Send out your own kind invitation.
Just one thing, the olive branch from the Red Devils, to be honest, is enough to give Friedman a headache. However, what gives Friedman even more headaches is still behind.
And this fax that caused Friedman even more headaches naturally came from Li Yi's agent Federer.
He also seemed to show off his writing skills, not minding the fax fee at all, and wrote a lot of nonsense. When Friedman finally managed to endure it and read the second fax, he thought about it.
It took almost 10 minutes to figure out what Federer wanted to express.
Well, Federer's fax, in a nutshell, is that in view of the Crystal Palace club's inaction, Li Yi played for almost half a season and performed so well, and his employer actually did not take the initiative to raise his salary.
Li Yi was angry. Then, Li Yi was very angry, and the consequences were serious! Originally, Li Yi only wanted a double increase in salary, but now, a doubled increase can no longer make up for Li Yi's mental trauma.
As for the final payment, it’s up to Crystal Palace to decide!
Well, if that's all, Friedman doesn't have to worry too much. After all, it's commonplace for players to clamor for salary increases!
However, when Federer's fax happened to be sent right after the Red Devils' fax, Friedman had to think about something more.
You said, if Federer had not hooked up with someone from Manchester United, is it possible that their faxes were sent at the same time by coincidence?
Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Friedman didn't believe it anyway. Therefore, it was preconceived, and Friedman determined at this moment that Federer and Manchester United had communicated privately and reached some consensus.
At this moment, perhaps the only good news for Friedman is that Li Yi's usual appearance does not look like the kind of person who is unscrupulous. He should not know about this matter.
of.
However, these things cannot be 100% certain. After all, Li Yi faced Manchester United, a veteran Premier League giant, and the constant instigation of his agent later. It is not impossible for him to really betray.
.
"Ah! I don't want to think about it anymore!" So-called constant cutting and sorting out makes things messy! After working with Horford for a long time in the office, he still couldn't figure out any clues about this matter. Friedman, who was really miserable, chose to give up.
"Ian, you report this matter directly to the boss! If he still doesn't care until now! Our core is about to be poached, and if he still remains indifferent, then there is nothing I can do.
When the time comes, Dongchuang will turn our team into a supermarket."
"Okay!" Although the boss hired the assistant to help him solve problems, not to cause trouble, it is obvious that the problems faced by the Crystal Palace this time are beyond the scope of Horford's handling. Therefore, whether Horford is willing or not, this will
Son, kicking the ball to the boss is his only option at the moment.
So, after leaving Li Yi's house and going out to do business, Federer once again went behind Li Yi's back and reached a private agreement with Manchester United?
Federer is here to tell you, there is no such thing as a perfect match!
Then why was Federer's fax sent to the Crystal Palace office together with Manchester United's fax, almost in no particular order?
When faced with this question, Federer would say "Secret!"
The next day, after finishing the day's training, Friedman left Li Yi alone in order to confirm a certain conjecture in his mind.
First, he let Li Yi into his office, and temporarily acted as a servant, helping Li Yi pour a glass of water. After both parties were sitting on the couch, Friedman pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Lee, what do you think, in your case?"
After your move to Crystal Palace, are you happy in every aspect?"
"It's okay. The coach attaches great importance to me, and the environment in the team is also very good." Although he felt like a mirror, he knew what Friedman wanted to ask. However, Federer reminded Li Yi again in the morning and asked him to
Some things should be said only if you can. If you can't, it's better to pretend to be confused. So now Friedman was talking about him, and Li Yi was happy to go around in circles with him.
"What do you think is our prospect of entering next year's Champions League after the Premier League ends this season, not to mention winning the championship trophy?"
Friedman was actually able to push the issue further and further. Li Yi truly convinced the other party, but the two of them were facing each other, and it was impossible for Li Yi to ignore the other party. Therefore, he thought about it seriously and determined that there was no language trap in the other party's question.
After entering, Li Yi said, "Coach, you are still a little too conservative. I think as long as a few of our core players don't have any major injuries, plus the team can win after the winter transfer window."
, if we maintain enough lineup integrity, we can attack for the championship this year."
"Haha!" Although Li Yi himself didn't think there was anything funny about what he said before, Friedman laughed for a while after hearing Li Yi's answer. Then, Li Yi was very happy
When he couldn't help but ask Friedman why he was laughing, Friedman got to the point and said, "Haha, Lee, that's what I want from you!"
At this point, Friedman suddenly changed the subject and invited Li Yi with a very serious look, "So, Lee, are you willing to join me in launching an attack for the first top league trophy in the team's history?"
"
"Uh!" At this moment, an idiom suddenly popped up in Li Yi's mind, that is - the old is still hot! Look at what Friedman said! How beautiful!
After going in such a big circle, when Li Yi was completely unprepared, he thrust out his fatal sword, making Li Yi almost unable to resist!
Fortunately, Federer did not hesitate to waste more than 10 pounds of phone bills this morning, and urged Li Yi for a long time, asking him not to be stupid and make any mistakes for the Crystal Palace at this critical moment of negotiation between the two parties.
Promise. Otherwise he will really be unable to do anything when the time comes.
Otherwise, given Li Yi's usual character, he would definitely agree immediately after Friedman asked.
However, faced with Friedman's big question of right and wrong, Li Yi seems to have no choice but to jump in even if he knows he is trapped?
When the coach asks you if you want to win the championship together, Li Yi can't just say no just for a salary increase?
Therefore, after struggling for a while, Li Yi finally thought of an answer that was not perfect, but still able to cope with Friedman's fatal blow. "Yes, who doesn't want the championship? But, coach, you also know, I
In terms of salary and endorsements, they are all handled by my agent Federer. In fact, I really can't say anything about it myself."
