1Martinez said that he was here to discuss Casemiro's contract and had nothing to do with the popular Zhao Yang.
Obviously, reporters and fans never think this way
Both the media and fans believe that a small temple like Espanyol cannot retain the great figure Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang performed extremely well this season. Not only did he become the top scorer, he also led the Spaniards to qualify for the Champions League.
At the end of the season, Zhao Yang received high praise from the media and was also favored by many wealthy clubs.
Both the media and fans believe that a small temple like Espanyol cannot retain the great figure Zhao Yang.
At the cusp of this storm, Zhao Yang's agent Martinez appeared at Real Madrid's training base. How could it not arouse the imagination of fans and reporters?
Pictures of Martinez at Real Madrid soon surfaced on social media.
The pictures are real, but the content below is all made up by my imagination.
The general content is the news that Martinez and Real Madrid are discussing the transfer of Zhao Yang.
The Espanyol club knows that Real Madrid is coveting Zhao Yang, and now that it sees Zhao Yang's agent Martinez appearing at the Real Madrid base, how can it believe that Martinez is just going to negotiate Casemiro's contract.
Zhao Yang is not for sale for the Espanyol team and is the cornerstone of the team. If Zhao Yang cannot settle down, the Espanyol's goals for next season will become empty talk.
Almost immediately, Espanyol general manager Guasco called Martinez and asked him if he had discussed Zhao Yang with Real Madrid.
Martinez looked very aggrieved and said that he was going to discuss Casemiro's contract and what did he have to do with Zhao Yang.
However, Martinez also said that he had heard the news that Real Madrid was interested in Zhao Yang, but no one from Real Madrid had ever talked to him about Zhao Yang.
Regardless of whether what Martinez said is true or false, Guasco must treat it as true, and he must comfort Zhao Yang and prevent him from having other thoughts.
Guasco told Martinez that they believed that Zhao Yang's current annual salary was no longer worthy of Zhao Yang's contribution to the club, and they were studying a salary increase for Zhao Yang.
Martinez was overjoyed, but declined, saying that he had just received a salary increase during the winter break, and now that he was receiving another salary increase, I'm afraid the other team members would be unbalanced.
Guasco could only smile and say that this salary increase is collective. This time the Spaniards entered the Champions League, the players have made contributions, and the club will increase their salaries appropriately.
As for Zhao Yang, he is the Spaniard's biggest contributor this season, and his salary increase will definitely be the largest.
Martinez said: "I heard that Asensio returned to Real Madrid and Real Madrid offered him a salary of three million euros. Although my employer Zhao is not a greedy person, he does need someone worthy of his reputation and reputation.
Annual salary for status.”
Guasco is an old fox, how could he not understand what Martinez meant.
Asensio's status and contribution to the Espanyol team are not as good as those of Zhao Yang. Asensio earns 3 million euros, so Zhao Yang cannot be lower than this number.
Not less than three million. How much is that? 3.5 million or 4 million?
I want to double my annual salary!
Guasico smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Martinez, don't worry, we will definitely satisfy Zhao Yang. Even if you can't trust me, you still can't trust Chairman Chen. He and Zhao Yang are fellow villagers."
Martinez said: "Of course I believe it. Manager Guasco, if you have a plan, please feel free to contact me."
After hanging up the phone, Martinez was a little puzzled. Today, he heard from Real Madrid manager Sanchez that Real Madrid is indeed interested in Zhao Yang.
But the team is interested in the players, shouldn't they come and contact me? Does Real Madrid still dare to contact the players directly?
Of course, Real Madrid did not contact Zhao Yang directly, nor did it go through Zhao Yang's agent Martinez. Real Madrid directly found someone to contact Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang visited the Sagrada Familia with his parents in the afternoon and La Rambla in the evening. It was already very late when he came back after dinner.
The next morning, as soon as Zhao Yang got up, a guest that Zhao Yang never expected came to his home.
This man is Carlos, the owner of the St. Andrews team.
Carlos is still the owner of St. Andrew's. St. Andrew's is currently playing in Segunda División B, with good results and barely surviving relegation this season.
The boss of St. Andrews was Zhao Yang's earliest talent. He was the one who brought Zhao Yang from an amateur player to a semi-professional player, so that Zhao Yang had a platform to showcase himself.
Although Zhao Yang earned a transfer fee of 2 million euros for St. Andrews, which is considered worthy of St. Andrews, Zhao Yang still maintains sufficient respect for Carlos and the players of St. Andrews.
Zhao Yang enthusiastically let Carlos in and served tea: "Chairman Carlos, long time no see. I miss you so much."
Carlos laughed loudly and said: "Zhao, it seems that I did not keep you. It is absolutely right to let you transfer. You will not receive such attention in St. Andrews."
Zhao Yang laughed and said: "President Carlos, I still miss the carefree days when I played football at St. Andrews...
Carlos smiled and said: "People always have to shoulder their own mission. Only children can be carefree. I think you are a genius and you will shine in the world of football."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Chairman Carlos praised me too much. I will blush."
Carlos said seriously: "Zhao, I'm not complimenting you, I'm telling the truth. You were playing at St. Andrew's at that time. Of course I hope to keep you. I think you can bring St. Andrew's to a higher level league.
But I didn’t do it in the end, do you know why?”
Zhao Yang knew that Carlos had not created much obstacles for him at that time, so he asked curiously: "Why?"
Carlos said: "I think you need a larger stage area to display your talents. You have to perform for fans all over the world, not just for the fans of St. Andrew's."
Regardless of whether what Carlos said was true or not, Zhao Yang was a little in awe and asked directly: "Thank you very much, Chairman Carlos, for taking me seriously. I wonder if you have anything to do with me today?"
Carlos said: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Today I am working as a lobbyist for Real Madrid. I have some friendship with Mr. Sanchez of Real Madrid. He came to me personally and hoped that I would give you a message to persuade you to transfer.
Real Madrid.”
ah?!
Zhao Yang was very surprised. He thought Carlos was looking for him because of St. Andrew's Club matters, but he didn't expect that he was working as a lobbyist for Real Madrid.
Carlos said: "I'm not here hoping to get the benefits of Real Madrid, but I think you need a higher stage, just like you needed the Spanish stage last year."
