Chapter 103 The Broker
At ten o'clock in the evening on November 2011, 11, French time, the last game of the No. 6 round of Ligue 13 was between Bordeaux and Paris Saint-Germain.

This is the second game of Paris Saint-Germain in November, and it is also the last game of the team's intensive schedule for nearly half a month. After this round, because of the international match day in about two weeks, major clubs like Paris Saint-Germain who are fighting on multiple fronts finally ushered in a period of rest, recovery and adjustment.

In the away game against Bordeaux, Paris Saint-Germain went to the away game one day earlier, which shortened the team's recovery period by more than half a day. Therefore, as the head coach, Compaure did not choose to send all the main lineup in this away game against Bordeaux, but a large-scale rotation lineup.

In the 10th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain took the lead early in the score. Gameiro, who was only a substitute in the last Champions League group match against Real Madrid, returned to the starting lineup in this game. The Paris Saint-Germain striker hit the goal from close range in front of the goal and was saved by Bordeaux goalkeeper Carasso. Morris caught up with the supplementary shot.

With a one-goal lead and the team's absolute advantage in the game, Compaure, who thought he was winning, confidently gave the substitutions to other substitutes in the subsequent game, allowing the young players to adapt to the rhythm of the Ligue [-] league.

But the ever-present variables are one of the charms of football, so no one would expect a sudden change in the last minute before the end of a game that is in sight of victory.

Bordeaux won a corner kick in the last chance before stoppage time. At this time, all Bordeaux players on the field gathered in the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area, including goalkeeper Carrasso.

Subsequently, Bordeaux midfielder Sertic took a corner kick. Defender Tremullina headed towards the goal. After hitting the goal post, the ball bounced back into the penalty area.

Bordeaux, who had been struggling for a whole game, was also taken care of by God, and finally tied Paris Saint-Germain with a substitute lineup at their home court.

An unexpected ending made Paris Saint-Germain also miss the opportunity to distance themselves from the team behind them when they ranked first in the league standings.

However, since Montpellier, which is ranked second in the league, also ended this round of the league with a draw, Paris Saint-Germain has stabilized its position as the league leader for several consecutive rounds.

-

On the second day after the match against Bordeaux, the international players who needed to return to the national team to participate in the game left the training base early, and the players who had no national team tasks also got a three-day short vacation.

Because the Italian U17 national team and the U19 national team did not have Wang Zi's name in the previously announced warm-up match list, so Wang Zi did not need to rush back to Italy to gather with the team non-stop.

It is rare to have a three-day vacation, but Wang Zi is not a person who likes to go out to play. From the first day he came to Paris Saint-Germain, Wang Zi has been living in Paris Saint-Germain's training base in the suburbs.

Wang Zi wanted to go home, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. There were various brokers waiting for him outside the base every day. Wang Zi took advantage of this time to personally reject many people. He wanted to find a broker, but it was definitely not those so-called "brokers" who used various guises just to make a fortune from Wang Zi.

Looking at the information of a large number of agents listed in "L'Equipe", with all kinds of business cards received in the past few days beside him, before Wang Zi seriously considered what kind of agent he needed, on the afternoon of the holiday, Leonardo took the initiative to introduce Raiola to Wang Zi.

Wang Zi didn't reject Leonardo's invitation, not because he completely trusted his club's sports director, but because he really wanted to settle his agent's affairs early, so that it would be much more convenient in the future, and there would no longer be a large group of "agents" guarding the entrance of the training base. In addition, Raiola's reputation is really great, especially in Italy, this fat man is the agent of many Italian stars.

Raiola met in the private room of a famous pasta restaurant in the center of Paris. Because he did not have a driver's license and did not buy a car, Leonardo drove Wang Zi to him. After arriving at the agreed place, the sports director of Paris Saint-Germain did not follow Wang Zi to meet Raiola, but found a seat in the lobby at random.

There are some things that he won't participate in, and he doesn't want to participate, not only because of his own identity, but also because of other factors. The most important thing is that he knows Wang Zi well.

-

Black sunglasses, a faded jacket, most likely a short-sleeved one, and jeans that have remained unchanged for thousands of years. He has a big belly, and he doesn't look like a rich man who manages a large number of outstanding players.

This was Wang Zi's first impression of Raiola, but this was not the first time he had seen this middle-aged fat man. Before his rebirth, Wang Zi was still at Juventus. At that time, Raiola had not had any conflicts with the "Bianconeri", so Wang Zi could often see this fat man appearing in Juventus' training base.

It's just that after the "Phonegate" incident later, Juventus, which was decisively abandoned by Raiola, no longer had anything to do with this "enemy". At that time, Wang Zi was still very young.

Seeing Wang Zi approaching, Raiola took the initiative to get up, stretched out his hand, and smiled at Wang Zi in front of him, "Mino Raiola."

Wang Zi didn't expect Raiola to be such a straightforward and concise person, but he shook hands politely and smiled, "Well, hello, I'm Wang Zi."

"Please sit down."

"Yes, Wang Zi, I know, your current reputation is very popular in our circle. Besides, seeing real people, I realized that you are even more handsome than those on TV and newspapers."

While Raiola stretched out his hand to signal Wang Zi to sit down, he did not forget to continue talking.

"Thank you." Wang Zi responded with a smile.

After calling the waiter to order, Raiola was not polite, and said directly: "I am a person who pursues efficiency no matter in my daily life or in negotiations, so I am used to getting straight to the point. I hope you don't mind."

"That's pretty good." Wang Zi was originally a straightforward person.

Raiola looked at Wang Zi and said seriously: "So let's start right now. You must know that I just troubled my friend to introduce us to this meeting just to become your manager."

Without talking nonsense, Wang Zi asked more directly: "Well, I understand, but Mr. Raiola, you have a lot of players under your name, and they are all excellent. If I am lucky enough to join them, will you take care of it? I don't expect to be ignored by you, and I don't even know that you have sold me."

Raiola smiled. Having dealt with so many players, he had already guessed that Wang Zi would ask this question, so he answered: "This is not a problem at all. I have always been a person who is passionate about all players, whether they are superstars or ordinary players. If you have a chance, you can ask Zlatan (Ibrahimovic) or Mario (Balotelli), or you can ask those players who are not well-known under my team. I believe you will get your own satisfactory answer. .”

Then, Raiola did not forget to say his famous quote, saying: "Believe me, I am such an agent. I maintain the same concern for every player. Everything I do is to let my players get better development and protection. I have also been a player. What I love most is not money, but players. I know how difficult it is for them."

"If you were my manager, Mr. Raiola, how would you help me?" Wang Zi smiled and looked at Raiola, who was opposite him with a big belly.

Listening to Wang Zi's second question, Raiola rolled his eyes and began to write in his heart. In the eyes of ordinary people, this question is easy to answer, but Raiola doesn't think so. At the same time, he can't help but look at Wang Zi.

After thinking for a while, Raiola went on to say after having the draft: "In my heart, you are actually very similar to Balotelli..."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zi almost spit out the water he just drank. If he didn't have the memory before rebirth, he wouldn't think there was anything, but Wang Zi still has the memory of the two lives.

You're a dick, I'm not that dick!

Raiola didn't notice Wang Zi's dumbfounding expression. When it comes to Balotelli, he is always quite proud.

"You are all talented young players. You have the potential to become top stars. With the two of you, there will be successors to Italy's strikers in the next ten years..."

After taking a sip of water, Raiola continued to draw big cakes for Wang Zi, and the more he talked, the more excited he was, as if he had predicted Wang Zi's future, and he said with confidence: "Wang, if I can become your agent, I will definitely make you an Italian star like Balotelli. Mr Ballon d'Or, become one of the best in the world."

Wang Zi was a little speechless, but still couldn't help but interrupted: "Uh... Mr. Raiola, it seems that now is not the time to fantasize about these things."

After being interrupted by Wang Zi, Raiola realized that he was a little too excited, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, mainly because you really let me see that potential."

"..."

Afterwards, the two of them had a question-and-answer session and negotiations, and by the way, Wang Zi had a meal of authentic spaghetti.

About two hours later, Wang Zi finished talking with Raiola, and the conversation was pleasant. However, Wang Zi did not immediately answer whether Raiola would let him become his agent. He said that he still needs to think about it.

Similarly, Wang Zi's reply was also expected by Raiola. He knew that it would be impossible to just do everything in a natural way today, but more than half of his goal had been achieved. As for the rest, he was still willing to wait patiently for some time.
