Long before Atwa said he wanted to come to China, Zhang Sheng knew that the main purpose of his visit should not be about transfers, but how to cooperate. Atwa's words confirmed Zhang Sheng's thoughts.ΩBiqu
』Pavilion
Zhang Sheng was very welcoming to the British team that came to visit him: "Thank you very much for your importance to our club. It is our honor to be able to cooperate with a new and emerging force like Leicester City."
Next, Zhang Sheng and Atwa talked about many details of cooperation, including in-depth exchanges on youth player training, coaching exchanges, and player selection, and agreed that the two parties would conduct regular exchanges of visits between clubs, including once a year.
Friendly matches, etc.
Ateva is very happy about this negotiated cooperation. Faced with the gold mine of the Chinese market, they finally have a channel to tap.
Nowadays, many European clubs are paying attention to the Chinese market, hoping to take the lead in this fast-growing place with huge financial prospects. However, most of the clubs that can participate in such opportunities are some wealthy teams, and even worse, they are from various European countries.
At the top of the league, those small and medium-sized clubs don’t have much clue to participate; at the same time, Zhang Sheng is also very happy. The cooperation with Leicester City means that Longteng Club has a cooperation channel in the UK in addition to Germany, Portugal and Austria.
, in the future, the club’s players, whether they are poached from Mavericks, bargain-hunting foreign players, or domestic players who want to play in Europe, will have a good place to go.
Thanks to the communication between the top management of both clubs, the transfer of Mahrez and Kante quickly made progress. Both Longteng Club and Leicester City made concessions. In the end, the transfer price of Mahrez was set at
The fee was 2 million pounds plus 30% of the secondary transfer share, while Kanter received 100 million pounds plus 30% of the transfer share.
Also progressing is the transfer of Ben Arfa.
Ben Alpha, who has reached the bottom of his career, seemed a little arrogant at first when he was contacted by the Chinese team. In his opinion, he has the ability and a good resume, and the European League team
There should be someone interested in him.
But soon his wish came true. He was unable to play games in Newcastle for a long time. Although training was not neglected, the too relaxed environment still gave his body obvious signs of blessing. The two or three days before the end of his stay in England
In August, Ben Alpha's agent began to be busy with his work for the next season. He first found many teams in England to recommend his players, but all of them were rejected without exception, except for Ben.
In addition to Alpha's increasingly thick body, everyone is afraid of his character. No one wants such a time bomb in their team.
Next, the agent set his sights on other leagues. The first thing he contacted was the French Ligue 1, which was the most likely place to go. After all, Ben Alfa is French and has a good reputation in France.
But what disappointed him was that Ben Arfa's reputation in France was even worse. His disputes with teams like Lyon and Marseille made him notorious in the entire French professional football circle. At the same time, he had a bad relationship with the French national team coach Deschamps.
The relationship is also well known. Ben Arfa wants to join the national team unless Deschamps resigns, so the clubs that want to bet on his success and then be selected for the national team and then sell it to make money have also given up such an idea.
After going around in a circle, Ben Alfa's agent found that his players were almost abandoned by the entire European football circle. It didn't make much sense to go to other small leagues, and no one else could afford Ben Alfa's salary. .
At this time, Ben Alpha's agent remembered the quotation of a Chinese team. He had to pay attention to the information of this team. After reading the information of this team, he concluded two things. First, this team The club is rich, just look at the foreign players in their team. That is Pato. No matter how capable Ben Arfa is, no matter how brilliant his experience is, he cannot compare with Pato. A team that can afford such foreign players will definitely He is a man who is not short of money, not to mention that the Chinese are famous for being rich. Look at the international students in Wuyang, UK, and the rich people who are buying in France. At least Ben Alpha went there. There will be no loss in money.
The second is the strength and relationships of this club. To be able to stand first in the league, its strength is definitely unquestionable in China. At the same time, from what he knows, this club has cooperative relationships with many European clubs. And the British team has also confirmed the authenticity of the information about Leicester City's purchase of players from this club. What is even more pleasing is that the two players bought by the British team are from the French league. It seems that this club is very interested in France. Players have preferences.
Based on the above two items, Ben Alfa’s agent began to persuade his players: “You will definitely not lose financially if you go to this club, and the salary will be 100% higher than what you are getting now. Secondly, they compete with many football clubs in Europe. It has something to do with the team. I think you still have a chance to play there and return to Europe. Otherwise, you may really have no choice but to retire."
Ben Arfa has talked about the topic of retirement many times. He said it when he attacked Lyon and when he escaped from Marseille. At that time, it was just to force the club, but now it will really happen.
Ben Alpha had no choice but to accept the agent's persuasion: "I went to China this time. I don't know if I will have a chance to return to Europe. I must have made enough money. I'll leave the matter to you to negotiate."
Soon the staff of the Longteng Club received a call. The agent on the phone who claimed to be Ben Alfa said that he wanted to discuss the transfer of his players.
The Longteng Club quickly entered the negotiation stage with him. At the beginning, this agent was very superior, and his salary for the players was quite generous: 600 pounds. This price was three times the current price of Ben Alpha.
Obviously, Longteng Club is very clear about the current situation of Ben Alpha - the club has terminated the contract, the player has no one to take over, and the player himself has a big problem. Regarding the player's own situation, Longteng Club directly stated it and mentioned his own situation. The salary conditions are 250 pounds, which is a good price for a player who is not in the national team and no one cares about him.
Of course, Ben Alfa would not accept this condition. After communication with his agent, the two parties finally reached an agreement on the conditions of an annual salary of 300 pounds and a signing fee of 200 pounds. Ben Alfa’s annual salary price can be regarded as the No. 1 salary of Longteng Club. Second place, only a little lower than Pato's annual salary of 350 euros, which can be regarded as the Longteng team's positioning of him in the club.
After reaching an agreement on Ben Alpha's transfer, Weigel's transfer was indeed stuck as Heiko Fogel said. Although he has not even signed a professional player contract yet, this teenager
He is very confident in his future. Even though Zhang Sheng is a coach he admires, and even if the other party shows a lot of sincerity, he still firmly believes that he should stay in Germany, even if he goes to the German Bundesliga to play football there.
No matter what.
At this time, the price of the cooperation with Leipzig Red Bull was reflected. Zhang Sheng promised: "Since you want to stay in Germany, then I can let you play in the first team of the German Second Division next season, and it is a high-definition team."
A team in the A-League."
Weigel's reaction was quick: "Are you talking about Red Bull Leipzig, which you coached before?"
Zhang Sheng said: "Yes, it's Red Bull Leipzig. Their current main midfielder is Kimmich. This is a young man like you, but the Red Bulls have given him absolute trust. At the same time, there are many others in the Red Bulls."
Young players are still entrusted with important tasks. At the same time, they are also a rare team in the German second division that plays ground ball. This tactic is very suitable for your playing style. At the same time, I can give you a promise that as long as you perform well,
You don’t have to come to China to play football and just continue playing in Germany. If a good team wants to buy you, I will 100% not stop you. My team in China can be regarded as your retreat for professional football. Even if you
If you can't play in Germany, my team will take you back to play."
Weigel was very moved by Zhang Sheng's promise: "Mr. Zhang, you are really a good person. As long as these conditions can be written into the contract, I will not let you down."
Weigel's words made Zhang Sheng take action immediately. He quickly found Weigel's father, who was also Weigel's agent. After repeating his conditions, the other party immediately agreed. This was completely
It was a contract that was completely tilted towards the player side. Zhang Sheng also quickly sent club staff to Germany and signed a contract with the other party. At the same time, after seeing Weigel's performance, Rangnick also decided to let Weigel on loan.
He joined the team because Kimmich, the defensive midfielder in his team, had long been spotted by the Bundesliga giants. The arrival of Weigl gave Rangnick a backup plan. For this reason, he even called Zhang
Sheng: "You have already arrived in China and you still understand the situation in Germany so well. Are you planning to come to Germany to develop in Germany by sending me such outstanding young players?"
Of course Zhang Sheng would not tell Rangnick what he thought, and replied with a smile: "I want to go to Germany and no one wants me. It's good to just stay in China. I will introduce outstanding players to your team in the future."
"
After completing this acquisition, Zhang Sheng also felt very fortunate that the head coach of Munich 186o had not yet taken office, so he made a delay in taking action, but he also underestimated the players' own will.
Weigel is indeed a cute player. When he was a child, he missed the game because of eating sausages. Historically, after becoming famous at a young age, he still needs the care of his sister in life, but it does not mean that he does not have higher pursuits in football. Zhang Sheng can sign
It can be regarded as an early investment if you buy it.
Weigel's absence made Zhang Sheng turn to other clubs to buy defensive midfielders. However, the German football team did not have as many resources as his own. Zhang Sheng did not have many connections in other European leagues. He wanted to buy Atalanta's players.
Frank Kessie and Gagliardini both failed. Even if Zhang Sheng offered a good price, Atalanta rejected these two players as the future of the club.
Zhang Sheng still underestimates the importance of relationships in football. The transfer of players cannot be solved if you have money. Even if you offer a price that the other party cannot refuse and the club agrees, the players may not agree, and
Now China does not have the same influence as after 2o16. After 2o16, no matter what European football and South American football think of it, they have to mention China again and again, because the way Chinese clubs poach people is too terrifying.
--Smash you to death with money.
Historically, by 2o17, Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, Manchester United's Mourinho, Chelsea's Conte, and Bayern's Hoeness all had to complain again and again, because the money from Chinese teams scared them.
Now Zhang Sheng could only complain viciously in his heart: "After a few years, I will hollow you out."
Zhang Sheng, who was looking for foreign aid in Europe to no avail, could only turn his attention to South America. This time he called all four brothers in South America and asked them to recommend players to him. He also proposed that he only wanted midfielders and experienced players.
, the strength can also be good, but forget about the kind of stars that everyone is chasing. Now Longteng Club does not have such a big budget. For example, the two Romeros in Argentina, although they are still very young, their names are already very famous.
If you want to buy them, you have to spend a lot of money; for example, Wallace Oliveira dos Santos in Brazil. Just by looking at the name Wallace, you can tell that his level is very high. In reality, his level is indeed very high.
Pogba, who is known as the Brazilian, is basically impossible for the Dragons to buy at a low price.
Such conditions severely limit the range of players. This requires players to have certain abilities, be relatively unknown, be willing to transfer, and be willing to come to China. There are many players who meet Zhang Sheng’s ability requirements.
There are such players in Argentina, Argentina and Mexico. Most of them play for mid-range teams in their respective leagues. They have certain strength, but they are not enough for European teams to poach.
However, such players are basically the main players of their respective teams and will not be transferred easily.
In the end, Martin Demichelis in Argentina introduced a player to Zhang Sheng, Leonardo Roque Gil. This player born in 1991 played for Olympio last season and is now playing for the
Looking for a transfer. He was the absolute main defensive midfielder of the Olympio team last season. He is 1.8 meters tall. He is the kind of player who does not shine in the game but is good. His defensive ability is very good and his interception ability is particularly strong.
, and at the same time, he doesn’t have much work with his feet, but he has no problem passing and receiving the ball. More importantly, he has a peaceful personality and is easy to get along with. (To be continued.)
