Seeing Heiko Fogel making a phone call, Zhang Sheng was also ready to call Mahrez and Kante himself to find out what the players were saying.Ww W.

Zhang Sheng dialed Mahrez’s number first.
Mahrez answered the phone very quickly and was connected as soon as Zhang Sheng dialed. Thanks to Zhang Sheng's good French, there was no communication problem between the two parties.
After getting through the phone, Mahrez said: "Boss, I might have to go back to Europe to play football."
Regarding Mahrez's straightforward confession, Zhang Sheng knew that Mahrez was a relatively kind person. He did not hide anything, nor did he use lies to explain away the situation, nor was he so bad as to shut down his phone or not answer the phone.
Zhang Sheng could only ask: "Are you sure you are ready?"
Mahrez affirmed: "Yes. Originally, my agent suggested that I not communicate with you, but I think I still want to thank you for your training during this period. Now some English players let me play football.
, this is an invitation I can't refuse. I have been very happy during my time in the team. You have given me a lot of very good advice, and you have always trusted me very much, allowing me to play the main role in every game. But I feel that I
My dream is to go to a higher platform to realize my ideal. I don’t want to give up this opportunity to go to England.”
When it comes to Mahrez, Zhang Sheng can't persuade him. He can't unconscionably say that English is not as good as Chinese. Moreover, Zhang Sheng also knows that Mahrez is indeed a very pursuing player. He is really passionate about football.
Mahrez is very passionate about football. When he was young, Mahrez was very obsessed with football. Because no one appreciated him for a long time and his family's conditions were average, he rarely had the opportunity to play football, but once he had the opportunity to play football, he often played it.
to four o'clock in the morning, which shows his passion for football.
Zhang Sheng can only encourage him now: "It's a good idea to have this idea. But I still have to say a few more words. The competition in England is very fierce, and it may take you some time to adapt to the rhythm of the game there. I
I have another piece of advice for you, that is, I hope you can maintain this mentality. Even if you adapt to England, you still need to work harder. In my eyes, you are a player with the talent of Ronaldo and Messi. You will have a bright future.
Players who are qualified to win the Ballon d'Or should not be blinded by temporary results."
This can be regarded as some advice from Zhang Sheng to Mahrez before he left. Historically, after Mahrez helped Leicester City win the British Championship, he behaved a bit casually in the second season.
He did not transfer to another team, but obviously he did not perform well in Leicester City, so much so that Leicester City head coach Ranieri bluntly told the media: "Mahrez is not in good form, I have to work hard."
Train him. He should not be satisfied with his current achievements, he should learn from Messi and Ronaldo and strive for the Ballon d'Or."
In fact, when Zhang Sheng said this, he already had the intention to acquiesce to Mahrez's transfer. Mahrez obviously understood the meaning of Zhang Sheng's words. He said gratefully: "Boss, thank you for your advice.
I will never forget what you taught me."
After finishing the call with Mahrez, Zhang Sheng called Kante again, but no one answered the call. It was not until Zhang Sheng was about to hang up that the call was connected. However, the message that came over the phone was not
It wasn't Kanter's voice, but a female voice. The female voice on the other end of the phone quickly said something in French that Zhang Sheng didn't understand clearly and hung up the phone.
Zhang Sheng only vaguely heard the word "absent".
This made Zhang Sheng feel very uncomfortable. In fact, according to Zhang Sheng's idea, frontcourt offensive players like Mahrez need to be replaced, but a world-class defensive midfielder like Kante really needs to be replaced.
I really don’t know how long it will take to recruit another one.
But Kanter obviously doesn't want to stay in China and play football. Think about it, when any player compares China and England in his mind, the level of England is several levels higher. It doesn't matter whether he chooses the other or not.
It's just that what Kanter did was a bit unethical. It's normal for players to want to transfer, but to abandon his old club like Kanter without saying a word and refusing to answer the phone is too much.
Seeing Zhang Sheng's expression, the people next to him probably knew what was going on.
At this time, Heike Fogel, who went out to make a phone call, also came back after making a call. When he entered the door, he saw everyone frowning. Not knowing why, he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
Ding Fan, who speaks good English, explained: "Mr. Zhang has just contacted Mahrez and Kante, and the situation is very pessimistic. Mahrez made it clear on the phone that he was leaving, but Kante simply didn't answer the phone.
.”
Heiko Fogel shrugged and shook his head and said, "I have expected it."
After saying that, Heike Fogel turned to Zhang Sheng and said: "I roughly understand the situation clearly. Leicester City did not come to buy them for no reason. They have been inspecting them for a long time.
.I guess we won’t be able to keep him.”
Then Heiko Fogel explained what he learned about the causes and consequences of Leicester City's purchase.
It should be said that Heiko Fogel's network of connections in Europe is quite deep. After all, he once led the team to defeat Manchester United in the Champions League. There are also English teams that have paid attention to him and wanted to ask him to coach in England.
Yes, it's just that Heike Fogel didn't have this ambition. He still liked youth training, so he didn't make the trip.
But he still made a lot of friends in England, and they told him in detail about their purchase experience.
After listening to Heike Fogel's words, Zhang Sheng pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that it is unstoppable for the two of them to leave the team. Let's discuss the specific details of their transfer next."
Zhang Sheng first raised a question: "Can Mahrez be transferred first, and Kante stay for half a season, and then go to Europe after the Chinese League this season?"
He Lijun decisively broke Zhang Sheng's fantasy: "I guess it's unrealistic. Kante didn't even answer the phone. He is more determined to leave than Mahrez."
In fact, Zhang Sheng has a way to prevent Kanter from leaving now. After all, Kanter and Longteng Club are still in the contract period, and there is no buyout clause in the contract. Longteng Club has every reason not to let him leave. This
Zhang Sheng had planned this a long time ago.
Zhang Sheng never thought from the first day he bought Kante and Mahrez that they would play for the Long Teng team for a lifetime. Of course, Kante and Mahrez, who were still unknown at the time, never thought that they would improve so much.
Fast. So there is never a free buyout clause in their contract that states how much money an outside team will pay to leave. There is not even a negotiated buyout clause.
The so-called free buyout clause means that the buyout amount is stated in the contract. As long as another club pays enough of the contract amount, the player can be taken away from the original club. The negotiated buyout clause is slightly milder.
, that is, when the buyer proposes a buyout, the original club can negotiate the buyout price with the other party. When the price offered by the buyer reaches the market price that the player should have at that time, the player can be bought out, which protects the player to a certain extent.
Benefits of the original club.
The same is true for Kante's transfer in real history. When he joined Leicester City, the buyout amount in the contract was 25oo euros, and when Chelsea bought him out, they spent 35oo euros, which is not the value in the contract.
The reason is that he signed a negotiated buyout clause. Leicester City believed that Chelsea’s initial offer of 25,000 euros was not in line with Kante’s worth in the transfer market at the time. After all, Kante had “seventy percent of the wealth on the planet.”
The area is covered by water, and 30% of the area is covered by Kanter, a player with a reputation.
It wasn't until Chelsea later offered a price of 35,000 euros that Leicester City let Kante go to Chelsea.
For players who do not have a buyout clause, as long as they are within the contract period (the last six months of the contract period are not counted), other clubs cannot contact the players privately, let alone take the players away.
Therefore, Zhang Sheng can completely ask Kante to play for half a season before discussing the transfer. If Zhang Sheng does it more decisively, he can completely ask the players to keep the salary as in some football novels, and then not let the players play.
Delegate him to the reserve team and let him be slowly wasted.
Of course, this approach is really hurtful to both people and ourselves. Players cannot play for a long time and cannot maintain their condition, so they are 100% completely destroyed. And the club pays for nothing and cannot let the players play their role. That is the obvious resource.
waste.
Zhang Sheng would definitely not do something that would harm others and not benefit himself. Not to mention that once the club does this, the reputation will be completely ruined. Zhang Sheng also hopes to use his rebirth advantage to buy players who no one is paying attention to at the moment.
Then there is the matter of selling at a high price. Once a player requests a transfer, the player will be discarded. It will be difficult to poach the Mavericks for training in the future.
So when He Lijun refuted his point of view, Zhang Sheng immediately gave up his unrealistic idea.
Ding Fan added: "They can leave if they want, but I don't think we can let them go at this price. I think Mr. Zhang values the two of them very much, so they should still have a great future. I think
We should operate in the same way as Qin Minghao and Li Yun. We don’t have to negotiate the transfer fee, but the share of the second transfer must be mentioned.”
It should be said that Ding Fan's suggestion is still very good. He sits in the position of the club's general manager. When it comes to business, he definitely hopes to maximize his own interests. People cannot be retained, but money must be retained.
Heike Fogel also agreed with Ding Fan: "The two of them are indeed first-class in talent. I was still curious how Zhang Sheng knew about them. They have such good talents, but they are...
There are not many people in Europe competing for it, which is really rare. As long as they can maintain this level of progress, the future will be promising."
Zhang Sheng did not argue with Heike Fogel about how to find the two of them. Instead, he nodded directly and said: "Okay, let's do this according to Lao Ding's words and try to maximize our own interests."
Ding Fan quickly wrote this down.
Then He Lijun raised the second question: "The two of them are gone, but how to deal with the personnel in their positions? It is unrealistic to find someone in the team who can completely replace them, right? So should we introduce foreign aid?
, who should be introduced?”
When everyone was struggling with this question, Zhang Sheng quickly gave the answer: "I do have candidates here. There are several players and scouts from the club who have been observing them for a long time. Now we can discuss them.
"
After hearing Zhang Sheng's words, everyone suddenly became interested. Zhang Sheng has been in China in the past few years and rarely goes to Europe and America. However, the few foreign players he introduced are very powerful. This time he mentioned that he has been paying attention to it for a long time.
Everyone is still very concerned about the players.
Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Zhang Sheng said quickly: "What are you looking at? I just asked the team's scouts to prepare for the rainy day. Don't have too high expectations."
He Lijun said playfully: "Boss, don't be humble. Your vision for selecting players is definitely world-class. The team's scouts are paying attention to so many players. Tell me which one you like."
Yu Jie also took up the conversation and said: "That's right. I understand it very well. I haven't been in the club for a year, but so many talents have appeared in the Longteng team. I'm surprised."
Even Ding Fan joined in the fun and said: "That's right, Mr. Zhang, your reputation as a golden finger is not in vain. We have made a lot of money from the transfer of club players."
Seeing that Heike Fogel also wanted to answer the conversation, Zhang Sheng quickly made a stop gesture and said: "Stop, stop, stop, you guys are exaggerating. There must be a limit to complimenting each other. If an outsider comes in,
After hearing what you said, my nickname of Golden Finger that has been passed down by word of mouth outside will become 'Xingxiu Old Immortal'."
Heike Fogel didn't understand this joke. As Chinese, the other three knew the origin of the name Xingxiu Laoxian. When they heard Zhang Sheng's self-deprecating statement, everyone laughed.
Zhang Sheng did not continue to dwell on this topic, and became very serious and said: "I have a few candidates here. First, I have a good candidate for the right midfield position - Ben Alpha, in the defensive midfielder
I also have a candidate named Julian Weigel. What do you think?"
When I heard the two players mentioned by Zhang Sheng, everyone was familiar with Ben Alpha. As for who Julian Weigel was, everyone except Heiko Fogel was basically confused. It was because of this name.
The player is not very famous, and no one has heard of it at all. (To be continued.)
