Chapter 121 Mendez

After winning the game, the atmosphere of the team began to recover. After all, they are all half-grown children, so it is very difficult to suppress the atmosphere of the team.

What made Edward even more happy was that on this week's match day, Bayern Munich and Munich 1860 had a city derby, and in this game, Munich 1860 narrowly beat Bayern.

At this time, if you don't express your opinion, you won't be Edward. After all, Rummenigge has already stepped on his territory before.

In an interview with the "Berliner Zeitung", Edward turned his head and asked: "Before someone said that Berberlin Union is not invincible, so now we are still firmly ranked first, and the goal difference is even better than No. 2 There are 20 more, what is the name of the person who said this, yes, Rummenigge. May I ask Mr. Rummenigge, how much is your team ranked? I haven’t seen it in the Champions League and Munich The words in question...sorry, I looked down and FC Bayern Munich are eighth and it looks like they're going to be fighting for relegation soon."

Edward's words are not poisonous. It is common for Bayern Munich to have a bad start, but their follow-up efforts are still very strong.But as far as this year is concerned, even if Bayern wants to make further efforts, they have to ask Union Berlin to agree.

Union Berlin's abuse of food is stable, and it is not easy for Union Berlin to lose points. It is estimated that such a situation may only occur between strong and strong dialogues.The previous loss to the Bochum team was just an accident. Edward believed that after beating those boys, they would definitely have a long memory.

Originally, Union Berlin did not have any problems, but a photo stirred up the entire European football world.

"The fact that the agent of Bundesliga upstart Union Berlin and core player Cristiano Ronaldo appeared in Madrid is worth thinking about in itself."

"Real Madrid rarely buy such a young player, but Cristiano Ronaldo has shown enough talent, maybe soon, we can see two Ronaldo in white."

"The best rookie in the World Cup and the top scorer in the French Cup. Although this Portuguese winger is not yet 18 years old, he is already the hottest young man in the world. If he is ready to transfer, it is estimated that his worth will not be less than 3000 million euros !"

"Last year, Edward spent 300 million euros to bring him to Union Berlin. Everyone said that Edward Hoffmann was crazy, but look at it now, this is a lucrative business."

"Looking at Huntelaar and Petr Cech before, Union Berlin has always made a lot of money in player transfers. I don't think Eduard Hoffmann would necessarily refuse, otherwise he would not have given up before. Petr Cech went to Manchester United to buy a goalkeeper who was injured and couldn't play."

"Maybe he originally wanted to build Union Berlin into a star processing factory, not the giants he said."

This article did not come from "Marca", but was quickly reprinted and processed by "Bild".

Although many people know that Edward is not short of money, and he has invested hundreds of millions of euros in the early stage of the stadium and movies, but it does not mean that they all have brains.

Besides, selling a Cristiano Ronaldo may not have too much impact on Union Berlin.

Maybe Edward is going to take the black shop model and create a new source of income. At this time, they all selectively ignore Edward's previous investment for the team.

There is not such a big bubble in football now, how long will it take to sell players to pay back?
If his hundreds of millions can be mobilized, wouldn't investing in other fields have a higher rate of return than cultivating players?
But no one thought about these questions at all.

Even Sir Alex Ferguson gave him a phone call: "Edward, if you want to sell that Portuguese boy, you must give priority to Manchester United. Anyway, you also want to acquire Manchester United. It is the same wherever he plays."

"There is no such problem. He will play in Union Berlin until his retirement and become a legend of the team."

"Anyway, if he wants to transfer, he must notify me."

At this time, the conflict between Ferguson and David Beckham was very deep. Although the flying boots had not happened yet, because Beckham often made high-profile appearances in various business activities with Victoria, Ferguson had already moved to buy a new one. Thoughts on the sidewalk.

At Manchester United, no one can challenge his authority.

Although Beckham is very popular and can bring a lot of benefits to the club, he will never be soft-hearted when he wants to make a move.

At present, Ferguson is still trying to persuade Beckham. After all, there is still a deep mentorship between the two parties, but it does not seem to have much effect.

On the phone, Sir Alex Ferguson also advised Edward that he must not let the player catch up with the kind of woman who likes to show off. It seems that his dissatisfaction with Victoria is already very serious.

Edward still remembers that when Ferguson was interviewed in his previous life, the reporter asked him, "If you have a gun and a bullet, would you give it to Victoria or Wenger?" Ferguson's response was that I want two.

It should be an honor for Victoria to be treated as a bastard and arch enemy Wenger.

After hanging up the phone, Edward was still distressed.

Ronaldinho's agent appeared in Madrid, this matter can be big or small.

He didn't notice this person at all before, because he was not the Mendez that Edward knew in his previous life, he was just a small character, and Edward didn't take it to heart at all, but he didn't expect that it was this humble little character who wanted to poach his corner.

"Perez!"

Edward called Florentino directly: "Are you the manager who met with Chris in private?"

"Me? Of course not!"

Florentino denied it: "That guy came to Madrid and wanted to operate a player transfer, but I know you won't let that kid leave easily. This is unrealistic. I didn't see him at all. It was me. I went down to see him."

"How dare he think, you know what, I hope to get a commission of 500 million euros in the transfer of that kid!"

"..."

Edward was completely speechless.

A commission of 500 million euros?

Even his rebirth in 2019 is not a small amount of money. Few players' agents can get so much. Now, the 500 million euros can even buy a well-known star in the decline of his career, or a slowly rising star. Rising supernova, there may be more left.

I don't know if this guy is stupid or naive.

Florentino reminded: "Although there is no progress in contacting us, I heard that the guy is still planning to go to Barcelona. I suggest you deal with this matter as soon as possible."

Oh shit!

Ronaldinho is Edward's reverse scale. This is the peerless double pride of the future. Edward has always hoped that Ronaldinho can become a key figure in Berlin Union. It's good, but now that doggy manager actually wants to cut him off.

Edward asked Jill for the phone number of Ronaldinho's agent and called him: "Are you Andre Pereira?"

It's very rude to call someone by their full name, but Edward couldn't care less when he was angry.

"who are you?"

The voice on the other side was obviously displeased.

"I'm Edward Hoffmann, the chairman of Union Berlin. I heard you're in Spain?"

"Mr. Edward..."

Andre Pereira was obviously a little flustered: "Please listen to my explanation, this matter is a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding? Needless to say, tell me about your request."

Edward didn't have the heart to listen to his making up stories, so he interrupted him directly.

"Uh...I don't think the current contract is good enough for Chris."

"So? How much do you think is an appropriate number?"

"8 million euros!"

"Hehe, how much commission do you want?"

"...3 million!"

Edward hung up the phone directly, this guy has gone crazy.Just like Ronaldo's agent before, he always wanted to squeeze the most value out of the players.Maybe he also understands that a player like Ronaldinho will definitely choose a better agent in the future.

Edward believes that if he meets the other party's commission requirement of 300 million euros, he will not have any opinion even if he does not renew the contract for Ronaldinho.

With this kind of person, Edward has nothing to say.

He doesn't want to satisfy this kind of greedy fool. If it were a smart person, he would definitely not make troubles less than half a year after the player signed a new contract. Ronaldinho's current salary is also quite high. If it is raised to 8 euros, it will be the team's first gear, which does not meet Edward's future vision.

The team has many excellent players, Ronaldinho is excellent but not superior to others, if his salary is directly raised to the same level as Nesta, what about other players?

It is absolutely impossible for the team's salary to increase so quickly.

Edward doesn't even plan to renew Ronaldinho's contract in the next transfer period. As a fan in his previous life, it would hurt him to watch Messi renew his contract every six months.No matter how good a player is, he can't often improve his treatment.

This is a matter of principle, the team can never be kidnapped by the players.

The relationship between Edward and Xiao Luo is very good, they are like brothers and brothers in private, so he doesn't need to solve this matter through his agent at all, which is why Edward doesn't care about Xiao Luo's agent at all, before he even Don't know the guy's name.

That night, Edward appeared directly at Ronaldinho's home.

His mother and sister were very pleasantly surprised. Edward took care of them in every possible way. All kinds of daily necessities and gifts are essential for New Years and holidays. Whatever problems they encounter, Edward will come forward to solve them. This kind of care infection makes them very comfortable.

"Mr. Edward, why are you here?"

Ronaldinho's mother hugged Edward.

Edward took a lot of effort to get rid of the other party. Even after being reborn for a long time, he is not used to this kind of etiquette. It doesn't feel good to be hugged by a person of the opposite sex who is not very close, especially if the other party is an aunt.

"It's like this, Chris' agent wants to move him to Barcelona, ​​so I'm here to ask his opinion."

The two parties were very familiar with each other, and Edward did not hide it.

The domestic one, talk about him first, and finally bring out your own goals. It is okay in European shopping malls, but ordinary people don’t need to be so troublesome. They prefer to be more straightforward.

"what?"

Dolores Aveiro jumped up from the stool with a jerk, startling her.

She took a few steps upstairs and shouted loudly: "Chris, get out of here!"

Edward was also taken aback when he saw it. Ronaldinho is so fucking tough, no wonder he thought of drinking beer and exercising to kill Ronaldinho. cause some damages.If you don't know, you will think she is a Russian aunt. This level of toughness is really not acceptable to ordinary people.

"I finally went home, what's the matter Mom, if you do this again, I will go back to the dormitory now."

Xiao Luo muttered and walked downstairs, seeing Edward was obviously stunned: "Mr. Chairman, why are you here?"

Before Edward could speak, Dolores Aveiro pulled him over by the ear.

"You son of a bitch, I heard that you are going to Barcelona, ​​why don't you tell me about such a big thing?"

"What Barcelona, ​​I didn't even think about it."

Little Luo asked with a confused face.

Edward explained to him: "You may not have seen the morning news in the team. Your agent Andre Pereira recommended you to transfer in Madrid and Madrid's top management. After being rejected, he has already flown to Barcelona."

"He... how could he do this?"

Ronaldinho was completely stunned. He didn't hear any rumors about this matter. Does it mean that players don't need to agree to the transfer?

By this time, Edward had already figured it out.

Many agents will carry out transfers behind the backs of players, and then encourage players after discussing their own interests. This is also a common method. In current football, players do not have as much say in the future. Even before the transfer, they don’t know where they will go. This kind of situation is most common for South American players. They are often cheated by the agent. The agent directly lowers the player’s salary in exchange for high commission. Brazilian players just go abroad. I don't know the market price, so I can only complete the first contract in Europe with ultra-low wages.

Portugal has many connections with Brazil, and I didn't expect Ronaldinho's agent to do the same.

Since it wasn't Ronaldinho's idea, Edward gave a direct suggestion: "I think you should change to another agent. This guy is unreliable. He still wants to get a commission of 300 million euros from the club."

This number stunned the mother and son, and little Rome nodded in agreement with Edward's decision.

Mainly contacting other teams behind his back made him feel betrayed.When Ronaldinho was young and energetic, he couldn't bear this kind of treatment at all. If he was replaced by a mature player, he might contact the agent to find out the specific situation, but for him, there is no such way of dealing with it at all. Andre Pereira is out.

The matter was settled, and Edward breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Ronaldinho told him that a new agent had approached him the next day. He said his name was Jorge Mendes.
