On August 23, the League Cup match against Rotherham ended. Notts County will continue their journey in the English League One just four days later. However, they still have to take a holiday. Zhou Xu gave the players, coaching staff and even club staff a holiday. After a day off, I have to celebrate my fourth consecutive victory.
Wandering in Nottingham, Zhou Xu came to the pub where he had been a guest before. The big screen in the pub showed the goals scored by Notts County players in official matches so far.
"Oh, why does the chairman have time to come here?"The fat Harry saw Zhou Xu and hurriedly greeted him.
"Wouldn't it be a little awkward to call me Chairman? Call me Zhou."
"OK, Mr. Chairman, anything to drink?"
"milk, thank you"
"Milk, let the chairman drink it by himself. I will continue to watch the game with them."
Harry felt a little bored, so he turned around and started joking with other Notts County fans in the pub.
Zhou Xu naturally wanted to join in the fun, so he came closer to listen to what was being discussed.
The fans naturally knew Zhou Xu, and they didn't care about Zhou Xu joining in. the act of coming over
"I think we really have a chance to get into the Championship this season, that would be incredible"
"Championship? Premier League! We want to go to the Premier League, we want to enter the Champions League!"
"Wow, it’s still incredible to watch Mane’s goal again. It’s so exciting. Where did the chairman find these kids?"
While Zhou Xu was drinking milk and listening to the fans praising the players, his phone rang. It was Salah.
"Salah, what's the matter?"
"Chairman, can I come to your office and talk? I couldn't tell clearly on the phone."
Of course Zhou Xu met the Pharaoh's request unconditionally. Soon, he met the somewhat reserved Salah in his office.
"Chairman, as you know, there is some turmoil in my hometown right now, so I hope to advance some salary, buy a house nearby, and bring my family here."
Listening to Salah's words, Zhou Xu remembered what would happen in the near future.
Egypt is now experiencing the Arab Spring, which is a major event in the Arab world. The Arab Winter will soon follow. More importantly, he The violence in Port Said led to the suspension of the Egyptian league, which was also an important reason why Salah left the Egyptian league and landed in Europe. The reason why Salah was willing to come to England was not without the
Arab Spring incident.
Naturally, he respected the national tradition, so it was hard for Zhou Xu to say anything about these things. Since Salah brought it up, he naturally agreed without asking Salah to advance his salary. The club paid for it and rented a new hotel nearby. The big apartment where Salah originally lived was not enough for a family, which was why Salah proposed to advance his salary.
After solving Salah's matter, Zhou Xu remembered that he had to deal with the players' family matters. Of course, we need to pay attention to it.
For example, Maguire's younger brothers and sisters, all of Maguire's family are central defenders, and Zhou Xu often sees them cheering for his brother on the court.
The vacation time is always very short. Tian Zhouxu was about to go back to work as the boss.
On this day, Zhou Xu, who had just arrived at the club, saw some young potential talent players that Notts County scouts had inspected on his desk. It is impossible for Zhou Xu to remember where every future star was when he was young. At this time, the importance of scouts emerged.
The first was Luis from Portugal.
He was naturally scouting Portugal.
In the report, the first thing that caught Zhou Xu's eyes was an 18-year-old kid named Thiago Ilori.
This kid from the Sporting CP youth team was just showing off his talent.
In 2013, Liverpool officially announced his joining.
The membership fee is 7 million euros.
Zhou Xu still hoped that this young central defender could become one of the Red Army's walls.
Unfortunately, due to injuries, Ilori failed to perform at his due level.
As an 18-year-old kid, Zhou Xu definitely hopes that Ilori can come. Now in the Sporting CP youth team, he will most likely agree to return to England, but Sporting CP will not necessarily let him go at a low price. Zhou Xu has to do it. He was ready to pay a high price.
After flipping through the pages, Zhou Xu found another player he was impressed by. Bruno Fernandez, whom the fans call B Fee, is currently playing in the Boavista youth team. It will be sold at a low price of 40,000 euros. Whoever buys it, Zhou Xu decided to buy it!
In addition to Portugal Judah, Zhou Xu even found the B seat of the Benfica youth team. Yas, as long as they are given a certain weekly salary, the two of them may not add up to 5 million. As a fan who watches the Premier League every day, he is naturally very familiar with this group of Portuguese Premier League internationals after reading the scouting report from Luis.
, Zhou Xu made a phone call to football director Montague
"What, go to Portugal with 10 million euros to sign 4 kids, President, are you crazy? We only have a few thousand dollars in cap space left, and signing these players would violate Financial Fair Play."
"Then let the other players go! You still don't believe in my judgment? Go ahead and sign them. I will let some of the less important players leave the team."
"Okay, Chairman, you are the boss and I listen to you."
Montagu quickly set off with an entire signing negotiation team, and Zhou Xu also put several veterans in the team on the transfer list.
The next day, Montague came to the club with three children.
The first one to sign was Ilori from Sporting CP. Sure enough, although Montagu easily persuaded Ilori to come to England, Sporting CP encountered trouble for the 18-year-old Ilori. The asking price was 5 million euros, which was obviously a big opening for the Lions. Fortunately, Montague was strong. With his sharp tongue and Ilori's strong will, Sporting CP finally paid 2.2 million euros plus a national team appearance. The bonus transfer fee of 300,000 euros successfully signed Ilori.
The B fee was even simpler.
Boavista, who had a very poor financial situation of 500,000 euros, decisively agreed to the transfer.
As for the 16-year-old B Fee, did not gain the trust of the youth team head coach.
He thought that this kid who could only run around was useless.
The youth team coach had never allowed B Fee to play in the youth team.
After confirming that he could get rotation playing time in the English League, B Fee easily The one who had the problem was Dias.
Dias, who is only 14 years old, can't transfer yet.
Fortunately, Montague is quite powerful.
2 million euros plus the 25-year-old Portuguese center in the Notts County team.
For Rodriguez, Montague replaced Seat B and Dias.
Although Dias needs to be 16 years old to join the team, Seat B successfully joined the team at the age of 17.
