Chapter 933 Lenny and the Players Department

Sun Dahai did not leave the excited Wei San to eat, because Wei San was already anxious and preparing to book the nearest flight back to London. He had to report to Baia and prepare to welcome the negotiation team sent by Sun Dahai.

Sun Dahai calculated the time difference and called Fan Zheng and Lunni who were in Europe, asking them to form a negotiation team with Fan Zheng as the leader and Lunni as the consultant as soon as possible to go to London for inspection and acquisition negotiations.

In fact, Lenny was the first person to know that Sun Dahai was interested in acquiring a European football club. Sun Dahai had mentioned this idea to him as early as when he went to the island city to meet Sun Dahai.

However, Sun Dahai's financial strength was not so strong at that time, and Lenny's thoughts were all on Yang Xufei, so after hearing this, he regarded it as an ideal of Sun Dahai and did not take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Sun Dahai had actually reached this point, and his call made Lenny extremely excited.

Although Lenny already knows that the Banat Football Club, the target of Sun Dahai's acquisition, is only a team in the Britten C League, but this is just the beginning, isn't it?

The player department of the Youlian Agency managed by Lenny has developed steadily in the past two years and has gradually grown.

Among his players now, Baggio, the Italian football genius, is in the spotlight.

After getting rid of the troubles of injuries, Baggio played 30 times and scored 15 goals in the season that just ended, and he was in hot form.

And he also scored a goal to help Fiorentina defeat Roma 1:0 in the Serie A play-offs held a few days ago (June 30), thus qualifying for the UEFA Cup next season.

Another rising star, Bergkamp of Ajax, also broke out last season.

He played 30 times throughout the season in the talented Ajax team and scored 13 goals.

From October 1988 to January 1989 (with a winter break in between), Bergkamp set a new Eredivisie record of scoring in 10 consecutive games.

Another signed player selected by Sun Dahai, Bierhoff of the Federal Republic of Germany, performed mediocrely.

Before the start of last season, Lenny helped 20-year-old Bierhoff transfer from the lower Bundesliga team Uerdingen to the traditional strong team Hamburg through operations, becoming the team's fourth forward.

After one season, Bierhoff played a total of 24 times and scored 6 goals. This data can only be said to be quite satisfactory, not surprising.

Considering that he is the fourth forward of the team and mostly comes on as a substitute, this result is quite acceptable. However, it is not easy for him to get rid of his status as the fourth forward and take a step further.

In addition to naming these three players, Sun Dahai also proposed to Lenny that he should pay more attention to outstanding young players from Eastern European countries in the past few years and try to sign a few.

Lenny is Swiss, and Youlian is a company registered in Hong Kong, so when he goes to Eastern European countries to sign players, he is not subject to the restrictions of both sides of the Cold War.

Sun Dahai did not tell Lenny the names of any players. He relied entirely on Lenny's vision to find potential players from those young players to sign.

Anyway, the value of players in Eastern European countries is very low at the moment. A so-called "future star" can be signed for tens of thousands of dollars, which is considered to be a waste of money.

More importantly, Sun Dahai doesn't make people think he is too magical.

The accuracy of his investment is already ridiculously high, but for the development of the company, he must accumulate enough wealth as soon as possible in the early stage, so he has no choice but to take risks.

But when it comes to selecting players, if he also performs extremely magically, Sun Dahai is really afraid that he will be captured and sliced ​​for research.

Because of this, Sun Dahai simply didn't even ask who Lenny signed. He just knew that he had gained a lot and signed a lot of little monsters.

Sun Dahai suggested that he sign young Eastern European players because he also had long-term plans.

In two years' time, with the dismantling of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of Russia, cheap and high-quality Eastern European players will flood into European football.

These humble U19 players now will most likely become the backbone of first-, second- or third-tier league teams in Europe in the next few years.

Many people believe that agents or agencies can make the most money by working with big-name celebrities or top stars. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.

Take football players as an example. "Alien" Fei Luo has a high annual salary and a sky-high transfer fee. It seems that his agent earns a lot. But the commission ratio his agent gets is higher than that of ordinary players' agents.

Much lower.

However, the cost that a celebrity agent has to pay is much higher. The daily work is trivial, the various matters that need to be handled by the agent are very complicated, and the various risks faced are also much greater.

Therefore, independent brokers or brokerage groups are better. Brokerage companies with a certain scale derive most of their profits from the many so-called second- and third-rate players they have signed.

The biggest role of those top star players is that they are used as facades by brokerage companies to attract the attention of other players and potential customers.

Or use the fame and influence of star players to open more business channels for the company.

Therefore, both Sun Dahai and Lenny have great expectations for the signed young Eastern European players. They will be an important part of the profit source of the player department of Youlian Agency in the next few years.

Speaking of these players, we have to talk about Yang Xufei's recent situation. He was selected into the Ajax youth training camp in the summer of 1987, and it has been two years now.

After undergoing world-class systematic youth training, he has made very rapid progress in the past two years.

Having just turned sixteen, he has been spotted by the Ajax second team. After training with the team for two months, the youth training camp has been notified that starting from next season, Yang Xufei will officially join Ajax.

The second team of KFC and participated in the Dutch second league competition.

In other words, Yang Xufei will be in European football from next season. Although he will only participate in the Dutch second league, compared with Gu Guangming, who was the first domestic player to land in European football, his age

The advantage is too obvious. Gu Guangming made his debut in the German Second Division at the age of 28.

But one thing is that according to UEFA regulations, Yang Xufei, as a foreign player under the age of 18, cannot sign a professional player contract, so he cannot participate in various professional leagues registered with UEFA.

Cup competitions in various countries do not have such restrictions on participating players.

Since the Dutch Second Division is a semi-professional league, Yang Xufei can represent the Ajax second team (Team B) in this league.

Ajax 2 is the youth team of Ajax. No matter how well Ajax 2 achieves in the Eredivisie, it cannot be promoted to the Eredivisie, which is composed entirely of professional teams.
