Center

Chapter 205 A Request

"...That's how it is." Ning Xi said on the phone: "Sousa's contract with Naples will expire after this season. He doesn't plan to renew his contract with Naples. He plans to go back to Argentina to retire, so Naples hopes to buy you out immediately. There are not many good centers right now, and there are even fewer young, potential center forwards who are willing to play as substitutes... They seem to be very satisfied with your performance this season."

Long Bisheng smiled wryly—maybe the Naples club is very satisfied. This season, Long Bisheng has been sitting on the bench for a long time without making noise. His daily training can be regarded as a model, and he has basically fulfilled the requirements of the coach in the limited playing time—although his performance is extremely ups and downs due to the lack of continuous playing time.

"Sarajeta will be the main player next season, right?" Long Bisheng asked suddenly.

Ning Xi immediately replied, "If Ray Adam is still the head coach—then yes, but you are the first substitute, and you will definitely have more chances to play than this season. And last season, you didn't participate in the team's pre-season training. This season will be different."

Long Bisheng was silent for a while, and then asked Ning Xi, "I want to hear your opinion."

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems that you should have your own opinion on this. How many players just listened to the instigation of their agents and made trouble with the club, such as Anelka, if it wasn't for his two idiot brothers' agents, his achievements might be better than Henry's."

"You won't harm me - I absolutely believe in this." Long Bisheng said firmly.

Ning Xi pursed her lips and laughed on the other end of the phone. With these words, Ning Xi really felt that all her efforts were not in vain, and that the decision she made a while ago was also correct—after thinking about it, Ning Xi said: "From a friend's point of view, I suggest you refuse and go to another team—Napoli treated you like last season and turned a blind eye to your efforts, just because you don't want to risk using young players—then you don't need to stay in this club anymore, find a new one that can let you play. The main club is stronger than anything else."

"What about from the manager's point of view?" Long Bisheng asked after nodding his head.

"From the agent's point of view, I advise you to stay here." Ning Xi talked carefully. She has already obtained the agent certificate issued by the Chinese Football Association this year, and she is also an official agent in terms of level: "First of all, you have been in Naples for more than two years. You are already familiar with life and the team. You have to adapt to a new place. Secondly, last season Rhea didn't dare to use you boldly. In addition to the pressure of performance, there is another reason that you are only a player on loan. He doesn't need to risk your performance. The danger of fluctuations to cultivate you, but when you officially transfer to Naples, this obstacle will not exist, I think you should have a lot more opportunities to play next season."

"Is there any other reason?" Long Bisheng asked after hearing Ning Xi's words.

Ning Xi smiled shyly on the other end of the phone: "Naples is very rich now... They are willing to spend 800 million euros for a Giannini, so the transfer fee to buy you out will not be small. As your agent, the commission I get from it is not a small amount. Besides, your annual salary this season is 20, and it may be more next season, but if you choose to transfer to other clubs, you may not be able to get such a generous income. After all, the global economic environment this year is not good , in Serie A Naples is already considered a wealthy giant."

Ning Xi's opinion was quite correct. There are pros and cons to staying in Naples or not staying in Naples. Her attitude was very clear. In the end, it was up to Long Bisheng to make his own choice. There are some things in life that can only be chosen by himself, and no one else can interfere at all. It's just that Ning Xi helped Long Bisheng make a good analysis to make his choice more clear.

"...I'll think about it." Long Bisheng was silent for a while and said, "Anyway, I'm going back to China in a few days, and the time is still very long."

"That's okay." Ning Xi also knew that this wasn't something she could think about in a while, so she didn't talk nonsense: "When you come back, we'll go to BJ to have fun. Even if we can't watch the Olympics, let's visit the Bird's Nest."

The Olympic Games will start in August. During this time, European clubs have basically started to concentrate. Naturally, Long Bisheng cannot watch the live broadcast.

************************************
Ten days later, Ning Xi came to Long Bisheng's home in XJ. Long Yuyun's travel agency has been on track for a year. Many tourists who like hiking are willing to stay in Long Yuyun's travel agency for half a month to experience the purely military management and life. There are even many tourists who want to lose weight and wish to come here once a year. After staying here for half a month, their body fat has lost a lot.

"Aaron, you look good." After greeting Yin Xiuping (Long Yuyun was busy with the travel agency), Ning Xi looked at Long Bisheng in surprise. She originally thought that Long Bisheng would at least be frowning.

"I figured it out." Long Bisheng smiled and poured her a cup of tea: "If you figure it out, your complexion will be fine."

"Then tell me what you plan to do?" Ning Xi took the tea and blew gently.

Long Bisheng didn't answer directly, but looked at Ning Xi with a smile, and said, "I'm going to trouble you this summer."

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and put the tea on the coffee table: "I knew this cup of tea wasn't good... I don't want to stay in Naples? No problem, but it might only be the second or even third tier league. I can't guarantee the top league."

"I figured it out. With my current strength, playing in the top league is still a bit difficult." When Long Bisheng said this, it was as if he was talking about others, showing a completely impartial attitude: "It's better to go to a lower level league to train for a few years... Dai Guangming and the others are not like this. They are all better than me in talent and strength. I was too aggressive in the past two years."

"I believe that your strength will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the top league!" Although Ning Xi admitted that Long Bisheng was right, she did not want Long Bisheng to look down on her... But Long Bisheng just shook his head: "I have already thought about it very clearly. Maybe with my current ability, I can be the main player in a mid-low team. What about the players who came out?"

Ning Xi was speechless, she knew that what Long Bisheng said was right, he was indeed a bit reluctant to play in the top league, and he was born at a disadvantage compared to others in the competition - teams that wanted to relegation naturally trusted experienced and capable players, mid-level players were more willing to train local players, let alone giants...

"I've already told my parents about my choice, and they all agree." Long Bisheng glanced at Ning Xi, and said with a little guilt, "I'm just troubling you, and I will make it up to you."

Ning Xi knew what Long Bisheng meant. If Long Bisheng chose to stay in Naples, it would be much easier for Ning Xi - the transfer fee offered by Naples would not be too low, and Long Bisheng's annual salary would be higher than that of going to other low-level league teams - one must know that Ning Xi's commission was based on Long Bisheng's income.In this case, Ning Xi only needed to negotiate with Naples to comfortably earn the [-]% commission.

And now?Ning Xi had to run around to find a new club for Long Bisheng. Not to mention the income might not be as high as staying in Naples, it would have to work ten times harder—it was because of this that Long Bisheng felt guilty towards Ning Xi.

Thinking of this, Ning Xi smiled dumbly, and was about to tell Long Bisheng not to do this, when she suddenly had a second thought, and said with a smile, "You said that... You also know how many miles I will have to travel once you make this decision—tell me, how will you repay me?"

"Then I'll give you a [-]% commission." Long Bisheng said after thinking about it.

Ning Xi took a sip: "You want to get rid of me with some money? It's not that simple."

Long Bisheng spread his hands: "Then what do you want me to do? Do you want to add [-]% more?"

"You told me I don't want money! Do you think I'm a manager for those vampires?" Ning Xi was annoyed.

"Then you make a request, as long as I can do it, I will do it." Long Bisheng shrugged his shoulders and said.

Ning Xi smiled slyly: "That's what you said... What is the request? I haven't made up my mind yet, but you have to agree to me. If I make a request in the future, you must agree to it! As long as it is within your ability, and it does not break the law or go beyond the scope of morality - you must agree."

"You think I'm Zhang Wuji?" Long Bisheng had also watched "The Legend of Heaven and Slaying the Dragon".

"Then just think of me as Zhao Min, even though I don't have ethnic minority blood." Ning Xi said with a smile.

Long Bisheng looked at Ning Xi for a long time, then nodded heavily: "Okay, I promise you, no matter what kind of request you make in the future, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"

"Pull the hook!" Ning Xi stretched out her little finger, trying to knock the nail to death.

"Just pull the hook." Long Bisheng helplessly stretched out his pinky finger and hooked Ning Xi together: "Manager Ning, I entrust you with my future, little brother... You must help me find a club that can play the main force and has a bright future."

"No problem." Ning Xi patted her chest, and then felt a little distressed: "The uncles in Yunjia Tianyu Club love me very much. I will definitely find out more information from them. You can wait to play the main force next season!"
