MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 404 I don't want to be the next Mark Hughes
Chapter 404 I don't want to be the next Mark Hughes
Since he has only been in charge of the Portuguese national team for a week, Chen Ran has no idea whether these Portuguese players can fully master their own tactics.
Fortunately, he has the trump card of the system. If he can't do it, he will give the Portuguese players a lot of blood.
I wonder if these Portuguese players want to show their abilities in front of the new head coach Chen Ran. In this match against Albania, the Portuguese team played their best performance since participating in this World Cup qualifier.
With Cristiano Ronaldo's brace and Meireles' long-range goal, Portugal easily defeated Albania 3-1 away, which was a good start for Chen Ran to become the head coach of the Portuguese national team.
After the game, Chen Ran praised the performance of the players, and then announced the disbandment on the spot.
Portugal’s next World Cup qualifying round will not be played until September 6, which is a full three months away from now.
At that time, the new season of the Europa League had already started. However, this is not something Chen Ran needs to consider now.
After a busy season, and now I finally have a vacation, Chen Ran also wants to fly back to London to accompany Cheryl.
Unfortunately, as soon as he returned to London, he was approached by little fat Louis.
"Chen, I have bad news for you. The Pogba you are looking for is represented by the guy who wants money from Raiola."
"Raiola? Pogba was signed by him when he was only 16? This guy moves fast enough."
Chen Ran knew that Pogba's agent in his previous life was Raiola, and under Raiola's arrangement, there were two transfers in three days, which made people dislike him.
But Chen Ran didn't know the specific time when Raiola became Pogba's agent. Now it seems that the fat man who wanted money had signed Pogba so early.
Aside from personal prejudice, I have to admit that Raiola has a really good eye for discovering players.
"Chen, what should I do now? That guy Raiola is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If you negotiate with him, he will inevitably kill him. In addition, he is now the transfer consultant of Manchester City Club. I am afraid that if we come forward, I am afraid that Backfire."
Little fat Louis frowned. Although he came from a family of brokers, he was a little helpless in the face of Raiola, one of the top brokers in football today.
No way, Raiola knows all the tricks in the transfer market that he knows, and this guy can do anything for money.
"Luis, are you worried that after we intervene, Raiola will take us to carry the sedan chair, and then take Pogba to Manchester City at a high price?"
"Yes, based on what I know about the guy, he can definitely do this kind of thing. I'm worried that it will end up like De Bruyne again, where the two clubs bid up each other, and then they cheapen Raiola for nothing. guy."
Chen Ran nodded slightly, Little Fatty Louis' analysis made sense, this is indeed a very likely thing to happen.
"Chen, how about we introduce Pogba through Willem II club?"
Little Fatty Louis came up with an idea.
"Louis, it's okay to fool others this way. Do you think that with Raiola's status in the agent circle, he will not know the relationship between the Willem II Club and us?"
Chen Ran glared at the fat boy Louis angrily.
"That's true. But as long as we bring in Pogba, we can't get around Raiola no matter what."
Little Fatty Louis scratched his hair hard, feeling a little helpless.
"Pogba is only 16 years old and probably hasn't signed a professional contract with Le Havre yet. Luis, you go meet Raiola and tell him that if you bring Pogba to Crystal Palace, we will give him high commission."
Since Raiola could not be avoided, Chen Ran decided to go straight in.
This guy likes money, so kill him with money.
"Chen, how much commission do you plan to give him?"
"Within 5 million euros, you can decide on the spot."
"Ok, I see."
After getting the Shangfang sword from Chen Ran, the little fat Louis immediately contacted Raiola.
Raiola got excited when he heard that Crystal Palace were interested in his Pogba. The guy offered to visit Crystal Palace and discuss Pogba face to face.
After hanging up the phone of the little fat Luis, Raiola pondered a little, then got up and ran to the office of the head coach Mancini.
When the season ends and the players go on vacation, the team's head coach and the club's transfer staff have the busiest time of the year.
Seeing that it was Raiola who came in, Mancini asked casually, "Mino, is there any progress today?"
As the head coach and transfer consultant of Manchester City Club, the two have been together every day to discuss transfer matters.
"Ahem, there's no progress yet. Roberto, I'm here today to tell you that I have something to do in London for two days."
"London? What are you doing there?"
As the capital of England, London is home to a large number of football clubs. This includes many strong teams such as Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, and Mancini suddenly became alert.
"Haha, it's nothing, it's just to deal with a small transfer. A 16-year-old French kid under my banner was spotted by Crystal Palace, and I'll go talk to them about the conditions. Don't worry, I'll be back soon without delay. business."
Raiola, with a frank look, told Mancini directly of his purpose for going to London.
"16-year-old French kid? Mino, tell me about him."
As Raiola expected, Mancini was immediately aroused.
After all, Chen Ran's eye for selecting players is now well-known all over the world. Young players who can be seen by Crystal Palace are like stamped pork, just buy it with your eyes closed.
Seeing Mancini taking the bait, Raiola snickered inwardly, and then introduced Pogba's situation carefully.
"Mino, you just call this Pogba to Manchester and I'll see it for myself. If there's no problem, I'll let the club take it directly and save you a trip to London. Don't worry, the strength of the Manchester City club. You know it and will never treat you badly."
What virtue is Raiola, Mancini, who has been with him for a while, knows very well.
Although he doesn't agree with this fat man's style of only having money, Mancini also has to admit that Raiola can always dig out some talented players.
Coupled with the blessing of Chen Ran's vision, Mancini didn't bother to care about Raiola's little thought.
As long as this Pogba is really strong, just spend a little more money to buy it. It wasn't him who paid for it anyway, so it's hard to be confused.
"Haha, Roberto, I have already promised Crystal Palace, so I will definitely go to London this time. You also know that as an agent, credibility is the most important thing. But don't worry, under the same conditions, I will definitely Priority is given to our Manchester City club."
Watching Raiola leave, Mancini pouted secretly. This guy who is desperate for money must be trying to make the two clubs raise prices for each other.
Early the next morning, Chen Ran met Raiola in his office.
There is no way, Raiola knows very well who has the final say in Crystal Palace Club, and he doesn't talk to the little fat Luis at all.
"Minuo, a 16-year-old child, is it worth a trip by your big agent?"
Chen Ran greeted Raiola with a smile, but he was already prepared for the worst.
When this agent was at his busiest, Raiola would make time for Pogba to go to Crystal Palace Club, and the other side obviously attached great importance to this transfer.
The possibility of Crystal Palace wanting to pick up a bargain is almost non-existent now.
"Haha, Mr. Chen, being able to be seen by you, this Pogba is no longer an ordinary 16-year-old child."
Seeing Raiola smiling as naive as Maitreya Buddha, Chen Ran's mouth twitched slightly.
Special meow, too much fame is not a good thing.
"Mino, as far as I know, this Pogba is only 16 years old now, and he has not signed a professional contract with Le Havre. Is that right?"
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Chen really attaches great importance to Pogba, and even knows about this matter. Since that is the case, I will not go around in circles with you, Mr. Chen. As long as the conditions are right, Crystal Palace can get Pogba for free."
free? Ha ha.
Chen Ran sneered in his heart.
Free things are the most expensive, he still knows this truth.
Although Pogba did not sign a professional contract with the Le Havre club after cheating from Raiola, but now it seems that he will inevitably be slaughtered by this guy who wants money.
"Since that's the case, Mino, you can make an offer directly."
"Mr. Chen, the signing fee of 2 million euros, the annual salary of 1 million euros, the commission of 1 million euros. How about it? This condition is not excessive, right?"
Hearing this very reasonable offer, Chen Ran was not only not happy, but looked at Raiola suspiciously.
"Minuo, if you have any conditions, just say it all at once, don't hide it."
"Hey, he still can't hide it from Mr. Chen. I only have one request, that is Pogba and Crystal Palace sign a three-year contract."
Raiola smiled slyly, finally throwing out his true purpose.
"Three years? Haha, Mino, you think beautifully. After three years, Pogba will only be 19 years old. Do you want to sell him at that time and give him a sky-high contract? "
Chen Ran saw through Raiola's little abacus at a glance, and directly pierced it unceremoniously.
This guy used this trick to trick Manchester United in his previous life.
Manchester United worked hard to cultivate Pogba for three years, but he was taken away by Juventus for free, and the old Sir Alex Ferguson and the Manchester United club became a laughing stock.
"Haha, Mr. Chen is really good, and I can't hide anything from you. Yes, that's what I plan to do. If you think it's unacceptable, then we'll work together again next time."
The initiative is in his own hands, and for the first time, Raiola was hard-hearted when facing Chen Ran.
"Signature fee of 5 million euros, annual salary of 2 million euros, commission of 3 million euros, five-year contract. Sign it if you agree, and forget it."
Chen Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense with Raiola, and gave an ultimatum directly.
"Mr. Chen, I need to go back and discuss with Pogba, and then give you an answer?"
Raiola's eyes rolled "bone" and he played a delaying tactic.
"Okay, I know you have to go back and shop around. But I don't have time to wait for you. Just contact Louis directly after you decide."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, then I'll go back first."
Seeing that every step of his plan was within Chen Ran's expectations, Raiola felt that the pressure was too great in front of Chen Ran, and hurriedly left the Crystal Palace Club.
Back at Manchester City Club, Raiola went directly to Mancini's office.
"Roberto, Crystal Palace is willing to sign Pogba with a signing fee of 5 million euros, an annual salary of 2 million euros, and a commission of 3 million euros."
"But they want to sign a long-term deal, but Pogba is only willing to sign a three-year contract at most. So let me ask you, if Manchester City are willing to sign for only three years, then I will immediately call Pogba over to sign the contract. "
"Three years? Pogba is only 16 years old this year, and he will not be 19 years old in three years. At that time, you can use the advantages of free agency to exchange for a sky-high contract. Mino, you are really smart."
Mancini looked at Raiola meaningfully and smiled.
"Hey, I'm not smart, I'm just making some hard money. How about it? Roberto, are you interested? If you have money, everyone will make it together, and I won't treat you badly."
Raiola gave Mancini a wink and said nothing.
Both Italians and cooperating with Inter Milan, Raiola is confident in Mancini's promise to introduce Pogba.
To Raiola's surprise, Mancini slowly shook his head.
"Minuo, the three-year contract is really a bit short, unless you are willing to change it to five years. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't promise you about Pogba."
"My predecessor, Mark Hughes, spent 40 million euros to grab a 17-year-old Belgian child from Crystal Palace."
"As a result, this kid couldn't adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League game at all, which caused the club to lose a lot of money, which became one of the important reasons why Mark Hughes was swept out."
"Now, it's the little player that the Chinese people fancy, and you want to sign a three-year contract that is obviously unreasonable. I don't want to become the next Mark Hughes, so Mino, I'm sorry I can't agree. your request."
At this moment, Raiola was dumbfounded.
Don't earn the money delivered to the door, isn't this Mancinimo stupid?
In England, it is a well-known unspoken rule that managers take benefits from transfers.
You are not like Chen Ran, you are the owner of Crystal Palace Club.
You are just a wage earner.
Could this guy really consider himself a part of the Manchester City club?
