Chapter 68 The Broker

Chapter 68 Brokers
Li Qingshan didn't know that he had attracted Lippi's attention, so he went to Manchester to apply for a suspension of school. Even though he had decided to play football, Li Qingshan still did not drop out of school directly.Perhaps it was the conversation with his mother that affected him, and he still thought about retiring and returning to college in the future.

In fact, he also attracted the attention of another person - Mino Raiola.

At this time, Raiola was leaning against the gate of the University of Manchester, bored. He was wearing a cap, a black jacket, and a pair of baggy jeans.No one would have thought that this fat white man who shivered in the cold wind at the end of January in England and looked like a big fat white man who can be seen everywhere in the streets of England was the famous football agent Mino Raiola.

As a football agent, Raiola is notorious in Europe.

The legendary Manchester United coach Ferguson once wrote in his autobiography: "There are one or two agents that I really can't like, and Raiola is one of them."

Ferguson doesn't like Raiola for a good reason. Pogba left Old Trafford that year, and a large part of the reason was Raiola's fanning the flames. "The club wanted to keep Pogba, but Raiola's appearance changed everything. We were almost at odds, and good things were messed up by him," Ferguson wrote.Everyone knows what happened later. In Juventus, Pogba grew into a world-class midfielder. Ferguson let the Frenchman go, which was also regarded as the most misguided decision in his coaching career.

He is an alternative agent. In the agent circle, he hardly has any friends, and he does not try to establish any intimate relationship with the club's top management like other agents.He always seems to find good players and has the trust of the players.Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Balotelli, Van Bommel, Maxwell and a number of stars became his employers.

The agent's hobby seems to be to ask players for salary and to encourage players to transfer continuously.

Ibrahimovic, as his biggest player, allowed Ibrahimovic to get the world's highest salary within three years.After the Serie A phone call broke out and Juventus was relegated, Ibrahimovic went quite decisively, and Raiola contributed a lot.What makes Juventus fans even more unforgivable is that Ibrahimovic's next home is the sworn enemy Inter Milan.In the three years at Inter Milan, Ibrahimovic was at his peak.But Inter Milan finally nodded and let Ibrahimovic switch to Barcelona. A very important factor is that they can't bear Raiola's greed and endless.

In March 2010, Balotelli and Raiola "married". At that time, Inter Milan executives felt a headache because it was Raiola who first won a huge annual salary of 3 million euros for Ibrahimovic, and then helped Sweden. Shenta successfully switched to Barcelona.At the same time, three players, Ibrahimovic, Maxwell and Balotelli, were planned to leave Inter Milan and vote for another team.

Raiola's players are all over Italy, the Netherlands, Naxi, France, the Czech Republic... Almost no agent has so many players from as many nationalities as Raiola.

Now it seems that this super agent will have another player of Chinese nationality under his banner.

Although Chinese football is very backward, the purchasing power of Chinese people is getting stronger year by year.Last year, Guangzhou Evergrande spent 850 million euros to buy Barrios, the former Bundesliga golden boot, which made the European football community begin to notice the purchasing power of Chinese Super League teams.

In fact, in 2011, Guangzhou Evergrande spent 1000 million US dollars to buy the Argentine midfielder Dario Conca, the MVP of the Brazilian League One.

Raiola has a premonition that the Chinese Super League will soon enter the golden dollar football period. If he has a Chinese player under his banner at this time and has a relationship with a Chinese club, it will make him earn a lot of money from this torrent of gold dollars. last sum.

But in the past two years, he didn't find any potential Chinese players until he saw Li Qingshan when he was reading a British newspaper.

Raiola is proficient in eight languages. At the same time, as an agent, it is also a professional habit to often read newspapers in some European football powers.After he saw Li Qingshan's performance against Liverpool and Manchester United, his hyena-like sense of smell made him instinctively feel that his chance had come.

So he flew directly to Manchester, planning to have a good talk with this young Chinese guy in person.

He first went to FC United's training base, but the big agent was there, and he didn't see any players or club officials except for an uncle janitor-this is really a pure amateur football club.

But there, he finally got specific information about Li Qingshan.

As a well-known super agent in Europe, he endured the cold wind for more than an hour waiting for an unknown person at the gate of Manchester University.It is estimated that not many people will believe it.

But this is the difference of Raiola. Although the club's coach, chairman and manager don't like him, he is admired by many players. Pirlo said Raiola is a legend in the agent world and a world-class transfer. Will be a trader.Ibrahimovic even described Raiola like this: "He is my agent, friend, and life mentor."

After waiting for more than an hour, Raiola finally saw Li Qingshan's figure.

He rubbed his hands that were a little frozen, and went forward.

Li Qingshan walked out of the school after successfully completing the suspension procedures.From today, he is not a student, but a professional player!
At the school gate, he raised his head and took a deep breath, ready to bid farewell to his school career in a happy mood, when suddenly a peaked cap appeared under his nose.

Raiola raised his head and looked at the tall Chinese player in front of him with a smile.

Li Qingshan didn't show much surprise when he saw the big fat man smiling at him.In fact, during this period of time, there have been many similarly dressed people waiting for him at the school gate.They are scouts for various teams.

"Sir, you are a step late. I have already signed a contract with a team." Li Qingshan, who was in a good mood, did not directly bypass it as usual.

"Oh? Then I want to congratulate you, Li." Raiola said with a smile.

"Aren't you a scout for a certain team?" Li Qingshan looked at the smiling fat man in front of him, and asked a little strangely.

Raiola took off his hat, straightened the collar of his jacket, and said seriously, "Of course not. Let me introduce myself. My name is Raiola, and I'm an agent."

After saying his name, Raiola showed a confident smile on his face.

But Li Qingshan immediately asked a question that almost made him turn his head away: "Raiola? I don't know, do you have a broker certificate?"

Li Qingshan didn't pay much attention to the transfer news, so he hadn't heard of Raiola, the super economic man.

But he really felt that he needed an agent these days. First, he was not familiar with the various terms of signing with the team, so he signed it in a daze. Then, he had no foundation in Europe. If an agent could help him If so, maybe you can find another team to rent yourself.To be honest, he didn't really want to go to Ruichao or Biyi.

He heard that there are many fake agents making profits by defrauding players, so he asked if the other party had a license.After all, only certified brokers are reliable, at least the probability of being a scammer is much smaller.

Raiola twitched his face, but finally held back. "Of course I have a certificate. If you don't believe me, Google it."

"What are you searching for?" Li Qingshan actually took out his phone.

"My name, Mino Raiola, Mino. Rai –ora" Raiola reluctantly accepted the fact that the other party had never heard of him.

Li Qingshan entered this name on the mobile browser.Soon he was shocked.

A super agent on par with Mendes? !
He is actually Ibrahimovic's agent? !
And Balotelli? !
Such a super agent would find himself in person?Li Qingshan suddenly felt that this world was too unreal.Is this person really not a liar?

Li Qingshan secretly looked at the fat man in front of him, comparing it with the searched photos.

Hmm...it does look a lot like the person in the photo...

"Are you sure it's Raiola, Ibrahimovic's manager?" Li Qingshan asked cautiously.

"It's true..." Raiola put on his hat.

"Perhaps it will be your agent."
