Chapter 197 Goodbye Manager
4 month 17 day.
Four days after the Barcelona game.
Ajax ushered in the 31st round of the league opponent Nijmegen at home.
Since he had already won the championship ahead of schedule, Van Basten decisively adopted a rotation tactic, allowing all the main players who participated in the midweek Champions League match to take a rest.
Even the captains of Suarez and Long Shute were put on the bench. Van Basten had made up his mind that unless the substitute players on the field played too badly, they would not be killed. There will be substitutions.
Fortunately, Soleimani and Assati are still relatively competitive. The two players each scored a goal and helped Ajax beat Nijmegen 2-1, which did not let the main players who were eating popcorn in the stands watch joke.
There are still ten days before the semi-finals of the Champions League, and there is still a league game in between, but Van Basten has already shifted the focus of his daily training to dealing with Schalke 04.
Since Long Shute was unable to play in the first round, he could only serve as a training partner in the training match, leading the second team to bully the main lineup.
The main team led by Suarez complained endlessly after daily training, and some people even complained that "a 45-minute intra-team match is harder than the official league"...
Because there is a lunatic who ran 45 meters in 8000 minutes in the training team! -
"Hello, dragon?"
After this day's training, Long Shute received a call from his agent Pere Guardiola.
"Several teams approached me, they are very interested in you..."
Brother Gua sounded a little excited. After all, only the transfer of players can bring him huge financial income.
Long Shute was a little surprised by this, but he also felt it made sense.
It is already late April, and the preliminary work for starting the transfer is also normal.
His performance in the Eredivisie and the Champions League is obvious to all, and the peak battle with Barcelona has created an unparalleled publicity effect for himself.
He nodded: "Which teams are there?"
"There are six clubs in total, the first one is the Anzhi Club of the Russian Premier League..."
The first name Brother Gua gave made Long Shute frowned.
"The personal treatment they give is the highest, and the signing fee alone is 200 million euros..."
Long Shute interrupted the agent: "I'm sorry, Pere, do you think it's a good career plan for me to go to Russia at the age of 21?"
"Hey," the manager smiled, "I'm just conveying the other party's meaning to you, and the decision is of course up to you."
"I'm going to the mainstream league. You wrote it very clearly in the career plan you gave me last year." Long Shu curled his lips.
"I understand that the remaining five clubs are all clubs in the five major leagues," Brother Gua coughed, "Spain's Malaga, they have received support from members of the Qatari royal family this year, and their economic strength has improved greatly; there is also the French League One. Marseilles, they are also very optimistic about you..."
Long Shute interrupted him again: "These two...are not strong teams, are they?"
"Although they are not absolutely powerful, their economic situation is good. Marseille is also a traditional French team. You have to know that our original plan was to first land in the middle and upper reaches of the team, and then slowly show your strength..." Brother Gua is persuasive and persuasive.
But Long Shute was unmoved at all: "I think my strength should have been proven in this season's Champions League, hasn't it?"
"That's true, but you should also know that Chinese players are not so sought-after in European leagues," Gua brother patiently explained, "The Premier League has an extremely strict labor certification system, and I just played a few national team games You can't pass the review at all; Serie A and La Liga also have restrictions on the number of non-European players. Bringing in a Chinese means they have to sell another South American player or African player, so they have to think carefully. Marseille and Malaga The overall strength of China is not weak. With financial support, they will definitely recruit this summer, maybe the next Chelsea or Manchester City; Use your talents."
"And what about the Bundesliga?"
"Bundesliga?" Brother Gua's voice sounded unspirited, "The Bundesliga has almost no restrictions on foreign aid, but except for Bayern Munich, other clubs will not have much improvement in salary. The most important thing is that you The current market price is in a state of high or low, and with the transfer style of Bundesliga teams, it is difficult to buy a player like you..."
"My market price?" Long Shute became interested, "What is it?"
He is a man who punches Real Madrid, kicks Barcelona, and sits Milan and Liverpool under his ass, so he must be 3000 million or more, right?
"Uh..." Brother Gua's voice obviously hesitated.
Long Shute suddenly understood, it seems that the market price is much less than what he estimated...
"You also know that the value of players is actually affected by many factors. For example, players from Brazil, Argentina, and England are inherently more expensive than others. In recent years, the prices of players from Spain and France have also risen..." Brother Gua cautiously Said, "Your Chinese nationality gives you no advantage in the transfer market."
"I know that," Long Shute felt a little helpless, "you can just say it directly."
"Suarez's worth is about 2500 million euros. This is because Liverpool was eager to buy a striker. In fact, they only offered 1500 million at that time..." Brother Gua was still comforting his employer.
This is a fact, with Suarez's crazy scoring performance last season, there are not many giants vying for him, allowing him to continue to dawdle in Ajax...
"Stop beating around the bush, Pere." Long Shute laughed instead, "I don't think I'm worth 1000 million euros, do I?"
"That's not enough. You are also the core of Ajax's midfielder, and 1000 million is also the starting price." Brother Gua also laughed, "According to the evaluation of the authoritative German transfer media "Transfer Market", you His net worth is about 1500 million, and as a 21-year-old young man, this price is not too low."
1500……
It's only half of the 3000 million he estimated just now...
Long Shute shook his head and said to the phone:
"Pere, when are you free to come to Amsterdam? I have something I want to talk to you about."
Brother Gua thought for a while: "If you have something to do, I'll be there this weekend."
"Okay, by the way, bring our contract with you when the time comes." Long Shute said quietly.
There was a sudden silence on the phone.
After a long time, Brother Gua's voice sounded again: "Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Since you know what I mean, I don't have to hide it," Long Shute said slowly, "I know that two Spanish teams have contacted you, but it's not Malaga."
The reason why he was able to know these behind-the-scenes things was because after defeating Barcelona, a tasteless transfer function was inexplicably added to the system.
Just like a football game, he can see which clubs are paying attention to him, and divide them into general attention, interest, important goals, and contenders according to the degree of importance, and he can also see which teams are paying attention to him. Ajax made an offer, which teams are contacting his agent...
Among these clubs that pay attention to him, he saw the names of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
The styles of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are actually very suitable for Long Shute. Mourinho and Simeone are both keen on the full court press and quick counterattack. Occupy a place in a team - although he may not necessarily become the main force immediately.
But no matter whether he can occupy the main position or not, the final decision on the transfer should be in his own hands, and the agent should not make the decision without his knowledge.
If he didn't know about this, he would probably continue to cooperate closely with Brother Gua, but now, he obviously won't do so.
Guardiola neither admitted nor denied, he just sighed: "Since there is a contradiction between us, I think we can only say goodbye here."
"Goodbye, Pere," Long Shute said without any nonsense, "I wish you good luck."
