Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 484 Mindless and Unhappy
Negotiations with Boulogne went relatively smoothly. Before that, Ribery was only a member of their youth team. Although the club intends to mention him to the first team before the start of next season, clubs like France 50 cannot keep him. Players, so even though it is the bubble economy era when European clubs are crazily burning money, Pei Wei still bought out Ribery's contract for less than [-] euros, and signed a four-year contract with Ribery. After the contract, Ribery already belonged to Yunjia Tianyu.

After signing this contract, Ribery also showed a rare smile on his face. After all, he is not yet 17 years old. It is not easy to get a formal professional player contract at this age. What's more, Franck Ribery's family conditions are not very good. He often needs to help his father to work on construction sites when he is in the Boulogne youth team. The annual salary of the contract signed with Yunjiatianyu this time is 30 euros , This is quite good for a young player, and it can also subsidize his family very well.

What makes Ribery even more happy is that he was able to get the opportunity to practice professional games half a year earlier than expected, and with the outstanding performance of Chinese national teams at all levels in the world over the past few years and the interaction between the Chinese league and the European league Ribery will no longer think that joining a championship team in the Chinese league will not be as good as training in a mid-range team in the French third league-after all, China is no longer what Europeans thought it was before Football desert.

"Our team's pre-season training will start in more than a month. As a rookie, I suggest that you should go to China some time in advance to adapt to the weather and climate there. Yunjia Tianyu Club has a complete set of facilities, probably We are going back to China in half a month, do you want to go with us?"

After signing the contract, Pei Wei made a suggestion to Franck Ribery, and Franck Ribery readily agreed after thinking about it—since the professional contract has been signed, he must do his best and adapt in advance The environment of the club is also a very important thing.

"Then..." Pei Wei pondered for a while: "Do I need to pay half a year's salary in advance? We have such a precedent for foreign aid. This is called the settlement fee. You can advance a part of the salary to the club to settle your family."

There is a reason for Pei Wei to say this. He hopes that all his players can play for the team without any worries. It is not expensive for the club to provide some help to the players, and it has a good effect. More importantly, it can create a corporate culture and humanistic care for the club, and win an excellent reputation for the club.

On this point, Yunjia Tianyu Club has done a lot. Treating Adriano's father's disease, providing Messi with growth hormone treatment and letting the parents of these two future superstars work in the club are all examples. What is exchanged is the players' deep affection for the club and the huge rewards - there are many people who know this truth, but they may not be able to do it if they know it, especially in the Chinese clubs in the previous life, who only valued short-term interests. The club has done a lot of things that have chilled the hearts of players, such as retaining players for transfer fees, such as abandoning them immediately after completing the contract after the foreign player is injured-this approach can indeed benefit in the short term, but over time, Naturally, no players will be loyal to such a club, and they will lose more.

After hearing what Pei Wei said, Franck Ribery was stunned for a moment, and then there was a touch of emotion in his eyes - no matter how rebellious a person is, as long as he feels your sincerity, he will be moved.

After considering the family situation, Franck Ribery accepted Pei Wei's kindness - there is a younger brother and a younger sister under him, and the whole family relies on their father's work on the construction site to make ends meet, with advance payment half a year's salary, life at home will be much better.

However, when Franck Ribery learned that Pei Wei and Jiang Hao would stay in France for a few days, he insisted on being a guest tour guide for the two—after all, he is a local, and he played everywhere with the club's second-tier team Many games will definitely help Pei Wei and the others.

Pei Wei thought about it for a while and agreed. There is no harm in having multiple people around, and it can also increase the relationship between each other. Why not do it?

**********************************************
After a night's rest in Boulogne, Pei Wei and the three of them drove together to Le Mans, a small town in the southwest of Paris, France. This town is famous all over the world for holding the world's first Grand Prix , and basically the 1905-hour Automobile Endurance Championship is held here every June. For the racers, this is the most difficult and most attractive stage. It is the longest endurance race, and the players have to drive more than 24 laps on the same circuit, which makes the race seem monotonous and boring.No matter the drivers, maintenance or spectators, they will all become exhausted in the second half of the night, making the accidents of this stage much higher than other stages - so this race is called the hardest and most boring event.The most alluring part is that at Le Mans, the drivers earn three times as many points as any other stage - and that's the allure of it.

But Pei Wei and the three of them are not here for this - for Pei Wei, he can no longer bear such a fierce competition, and Jiang Hao is more interested in wine and beauties. Endurance racing is interested, but he does not have such conditions.

"Le Mans Club?" After hearing the destination mentioned by Pei Wei, Ribery frowned: "That's just a second-tier club."

"Haha, Frank, don't forget that Boulogne is only a third-tier club... just because the club's level is low doesn't mean that their players are not high-level. In fact, quite a few superstars are in the lower-level leagues. Excavated... In this club, there is an excellent striker!"

Pei Wei's second goal is another future superstar who is still hanging out in the lower leagues of France - the "Warcraft" Drogba from Côte d'Ivoire in Africa.

But persuading Drogba is much easier than convincing Ribery. First, Drogba is now 23 years old, and he has passed the age when his dream is greater than everything, and he is not doing very well in Le Mans , his frequent injuries have also affected his chances of playing. Last season, he only played [-] times and scored four goals. Halfway through this season, he still only played ten times and scored only three goals. It's his third season at Le Mans and it's clearly not a place for him.

After being invited by Pei Wei, the salary offered by Pei Wei was indeed very attractive to Drogba, and Drogba came to France at a very young age, but his career has not been going well. Germain won the Le Mans contract for his trial training, but he was always plagued by injuries, which also made Drogba think of changing places to change his luck.

So Drogba agreed to Pei Wei's invitation without much consideration, but he is different from Ribery. Ribery is a youth player, while he is a professional player with a formal contract. club.

Franck Ribery looked at the big black man in front of him, and couldn't figure out why his boss would fall in love with such an inflexible person. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help asking Drogba: "My 11-meter speed is [-] seconds, I can pass people on the side, I can cross, I can shoot from long distances, and I can organize offenses-what do you know?"

Drogba blinked and smiled honestly: "I will score goals."

Ribery had nothing to say, and in the end he could only say: "Let's wait and see, I hope you won't waste my pass in the game in the future."

************************************************
Negotiations with Le Mans went smoothly. In the two and a half seasons, this black big man from Africa did not show his value. He participated in a total of about [-] games, but scored less than ten goals. Such inefficiency made the Le Mans club want to drive him away. Now that there is a big guy from Asia who is willing to buy him, why not be happy?
For 80 euros, Pei Wei easily recruited Drogba into his team. The same four-year contract, the salary is basically the same as that of Ribery.

But what made Pei Wei depressed was that after he brought the two foreign players back to Yunjia, Su Mei said something like this: "Why did your aesthetic vision drop so much? The foreign players you looked for in the past were basically Handsome guy, even last year there was Grosso, a handsome Italian guy, why did you find two of them this year?"

"What kind?" Pei Wei wondered, "I'm looking for players, not stars!"

"Then at least you have to pay attention to your image!" Su Mei pointed to the photos of Drogba and Ribery: "Look, one is stupid, the other has a scar on his face and a fierce look-you can't find it in Europe. Has there been a normal star?"

Pei Wei is speechless. Didier Drogba and Ribery do look a little different. In the previous life, I saw Drogba frighten Chelsea captain Terry's child to tears on the forum in his previous life, and Ribery's knife Scars are also unsightly.

Su Mei was still chattering beside her: "You know, when I saw the two of them, I remembered a cartoon I watched when I was a child."

"What cartoon?" Pei Wei didn't understand.

Su Mei pointed to Drogba's photo: "Look at his appearance, he is stupid, he just has no brains." Then pointed to Ribery's photo: "Looking at his fierce face, he is just unhappy." Su Mei then put the two photos together: "The two of them together are classic animation - mindless and unhappy."

Pei Wei froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.
