Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 680 Digging and being dug

He agreed to Mourinho's conditions, but Pei Wei knew that this summer's task was heavier than last summer. He wanted to persuade Larson to sign with Newcastle, and to get Villa's right of first refusal from Zaragoza. Negotiating Carrick with West Ham, bringing Essien from Lyon to St James' Park, dealing with Serbia or Bayern Munich managers...

Pei Wei has only one person, so naturally he can't deal with so many clubs, but now is not the time to be in China. Pei Wei has not only worked hard on the team in this year, Newcastle also has a team with rich experience and Operational ability to transfer troops.

Moreover, Mourinho proposed so many candidates, Pei Wei will not let him relax, and he handed over the contact with Larson to Mourinho. For such a veteran, the head coach must appear to be sincere when he personally recruits much.

Carrick's transfer was not in a hurry, so Pei Wei sent staff from the transfer department to discuss the matter with West Ham United, while he himself planned to make preparations for the other three people first. pungent.

Although Jean Aulas is a vampire, Essien's reputation is not that great now. Pei Wei believes that he can successfully bring the Ghanaian to St. James' Park Stadium, and it is nothing more than money.

In the last season in history, in order to bring Essien to Stamford Bridge, Abramovich spent nearly 500 million pounds, but anyone who watched the Ghanaian's performance at Chelsea would think that the money was very worthwhile.

And now it is not a year later, Pei Wei may not need to spend so much money to buy Essien-now there is no Chelsea to compete with them.

After the discussion, Newcastle's transfer force immediately divided into three groups. Mourinho rushed to Scotland to meet with Larsson's agent Rob Jansen, and the staff of Newcastle's transfer department contacted West Ham United to discuss Regarding cooperation matters, Pei Wei will start preparing for Essien's transfer negotiations.

First, he sent a fax to the Lyon club through the club, asking about the possibility of Michael Essien's transfer.

After sending the fax, Pei Wei contacted Essien's agent, Fabian Paiviteo, through the club. A two-pronged approach is the kingly way to transfer.

After doing these two things, Pei Wei began to wait and study who is easier to transfer between Ramos and Ramos. Ramos is now the main force in Seville, and the people of Real Madrid have always treated him very well. Pay attention, although Ram's current contract belongs to Bayern Munich, he is now on loan to Stuttgart, and Bayern has no intention of taking him back for the time being, it seems easier to start.

It's hard to say which of the two is better than the other. Ram's offensive ability is stronger, and his defense is relatively average, but it's not bad, and both left and right defenders can play, and he has an excellent long-range shot, while Ramos is more stable. One point, he has excellent defensive ability and can also play as a central defender.

Pei Wei was lost in thought.

But what Pei Wei didn't expect was that before he started poaching people, someone had already reached out to him...

Just when he was still thinking about who is more suitable between Ram and Ramos, Milne, the head of Newcastle's transfer department, called Pei Wei: "Boss, Real Madrid asked about the price of Woodgate's transfer." .”

Pei Wei didn't realize it at first, he was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Have we put Woodgate in the transfer market?"

"No, boss." Although the question was idiotic, Milne still responded quickly.

"Then refuse, Woodgate is in Jose's plan for next season." Pei Wei replied casually.

"Yes, boss."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Wei put on his coat and was about to go home. As soon as he walked out of the office door, he stopped immediately - Real Madrid and Woodgate, what a familiar thing!
He remembered, didn't Woodgate transfer to Real Madrid this season?Did Perez finally think about buying a defender?
However, Pei Wei did not plan to let Woodgate go, even though Real Madrid paid a lot of money in history-340 million pounds gave Newcastle a big advantage. After going to Real Madrid, Woodgate was injured consecutively. He made just nine appearances before moving to Middlesbrough, where he was born, where he excelled.

Pei Wei didn't want to let go of Woodgate, an excellent central defender. Although he was often injured this season, he still performed very well.

It's just... In history, Woodgate was absent due to injury for [-] months in the next two seasons. If it is still the case in Newcastle, it is better to sell him to Real Madrid. Return a lot of investment.

Unable to decide, Pei Wei called Mourinho. He wanted to ask the head coach for his opinion on player transfers.

"Jose, that's the way it is. Real Madrid now needs to replenish their defenders. They have their eyes on Jonathan. Maybe this will be a good deal, but it depends on what you want." Pei Wei finally said.

Mourinho was silent for a while, and then said: "If Jonathan leaves, we can only rely on Lucio and Dawson, Taylor is still young, but Kufuor can also play central defender... so we can There are still four central defenders, but it seems a bit thin."

"Then let's not sell it. Anyway, I don't need more than 1000 million pounds." Pei Wei muttered.

"More than 1000 million pounds?" Although Pei Wei said this in a low voice, Mourinho still heard it, and he immediately asked, "Have they already made an offer?"

"Not yet." Pei Wei, who found out that he had made a slip of the tongue, immediately denied: "I'm just guessing... With the arrogance of Real Madrid buying people now and Woodgate's performance last year, would I let go without more than 1000 million pounds?"

"If there is such a high price, then it seems to be a good deal." Mourinho began to look at it from the perspective of a manager rather than a coach: "For us, Woodgate is not indispensable. Dawson has the potential to replace him, and he has been injured too many times. He missed nearly one-third of the games last season. If this is the case in the next two seasons, it will be very troublesome. "

"That's true." Pei Wei nodded: "I think it's better to talk to Woodgate first. If he wants to stay, we absolutely welcome him. If he wants to leave, we won't stop him...as long as there are enough turning points." Dues, we can use this money to buy a young guard with potential for training."

"Let's do it like this," Mourinho agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Wei called the transfer department again and gave the latest instructions: "If there is a reasonable price and the player agrees, Newcastle will not set up obstacles in the player's transfer. "

Milne was a little puzzled by this, but he didn't say anything - a good subordinate should only faithfully implement the orders of his superiors, not to mention that Pei Wei's decision was not a stupid order.

Pei Wei, who turned off the phone, sighed. It seems that now Newcastle players are starting to be targeted by other teams. He is not short of money, but if the players want to transfer, it will be really troublesome.

If Woodgate leaves, it will not have much impact on Newcastle's strength. After all, Dawson's progress was very obvious last season, but what about other indispensable players?What if Real Madrid dug Ibrahimovic, Nie Fei, and Lucio?
It seems that this issue needs to be carefully considered. At that time, the high salary expenditure will be certain. After all, the current capped salary of Newcastle is less than 400 million pounds, which is much different from the later capped salary of 800 million. .

Until he got home, Pei Wei was still thinking about this question. The total salary expenditure of Newcastle last year was not too much, but it was not too much, like Shearer, Ibrahimovic, Nie Fei, Lucio and so on. With a salary of nearly 400 million pounds, there are seven or eight others with a second-grade salary of more than 200 million. Pei Wei does not want to break the salary structure in the team.

This has always been a paradox. No club owner is willing to give players too much salary, but the annual salary of top players is always rising. Which of the world-class giants pays players hundreds of millions of euros every year?Newcastle is not so exaggerated yet.

Thinking of this, Pei Wei decided to buy players with strong strength but not too much fame in the future. Such players are often not so greedy and demand huge salaries and signing fees. Superstars with super high salaries will make other players in the team feel dissatisfied and lead to a vicious circle.

But fortunately, Newcastle players are still very at ease with the status quo, and no clubs are interested in them. Generally speaking, small and medium clubs must not be able to compete with Newcastle, and those giants may not be able to compete with Newcastle. Now Newcastle His financial resources are among the top in Europe. Except for Real Madrid, which can spend a lot of transfer fees every year, and Chelsea, who are equally wealthy, Pei Wei is really not afraid of anyone who will use money to smash his players.

I'm a little afraid of Real Madrid because few players can't be tempted by Real Madrid's glorious history, and Chelsea is too crazy. If Abramovich spends tens of millions of pounds on a certain player in Newcastle's team, Pei Wei will definitely Will not change the salary structure of the team because of a player.

But there is a saying, so what to be afraid of, the next day, when Pei Wei arrived at the club, Milne came to the door, and he handed Pei Wei a fax: "Boss, Chelsea Club sent a fax, asking Possibility of Ibrahimovic transfer."

PS: Regarding Wuhan’s withdrawal from the Chinese Super League, Li Chengpeng said it well. It’s not because of how many rounds Li Weifeng was fined and suspended. It’s because Wuhan feels that it’s impossible to play in the league and there’s no hope. Two scattered...

Overlord style, bureaucratic style, the master of Chinese officialdom, none other than the Chinese Football Association...

I solemnly declare that the clean and efficient Chinese Football Association in my book has nothing to do with this corrupt organization in reality.
