On the morning of May 21, Brentford completed the last round of collective training before the match against Bournemouth.
After announcing the names of the squad for tomorrow, Frank asked Chen Chen to stay alone.
Chen Chen was a little confused.
Frank said that someone wanted to talk to him.
Chen Chen and Frank came to the club meeting room together. When they knocked on the door, the first person they saw was the team chairman, Chiliff Boya.
Then ---
Manchester City Football Club coach, Spanish Josep Guardiola!
Chen Chen was not surprised that Manchester City was interested in him.
What was surprising was that Manchester City did not send a fax, but the coach Guardiola came in person!
You know, it is against UEFA regulations to contact players privately!
But now is the era of "moral collapse and music destruction", and few people will abide by this rule.
Biles, a senior scout who has worked with Ferguson for 14 years, once said a classic saying: "Private contact is not allowed, but everyone does it. This is the survival rule of scouts."
Don't make a fuss, otherwise where does the transfer information that is "blackmailed" on the first day of the transfer window come from?
Talk on the same day, transfer on the same day?
Of course not! In fact, many transaction information has been determined before the transfer window opens.
Even some behind-the-scenes operations and negotiations have been completed before and after the last transfer window!
For example, in the summer window of 2013, Icardi reached a transfer agreement with Inter Milan.
But this deal was not finalized in this summer window, but before the last window, that is, before the winter window.
Icardi's agent personally told Romano that the player would join Inter Milan in the summer window, not this winter window.
Guardiola raised his eyebrows and gestured to Chen Chen to sit down.
"Chen! I think we need to have a good chat!"
Chen Chen sat down.
Frank and Boya walked out of the door.
Brentford and Manchester City have basically reached an agreement. Now it depends on whether Guardiola can negotiate with Chen Chen.
Of course, the Little Bees also have contacts with other teams.
If Guardiola fails to negotiate, others will come to talk to Chen Chen.
For example, Gustavo Lopez, who has now arrived in London, is Simeone's assistant coach.
If Chen Chen is determined to join Manchester City, the club will send Gustavo away.
Because Atletico is ready to pay a transfer fee instead of a penalty, the club has the right to refuse the offer and let him go.
But if Atletico offers a penalty, Brentford needs to consult Chen Chen before letting Gustavo leave.
"I've watched the last few games you've played."
Guardiola spoke first.
"Honestly, it was great! I told the reporters that if I covered my face, I would think it was Kevin playing football!"
"Your turn and hook shot is very imaginative! Of course, the through ball a few days ago was also very good!"
"You are like an elf on the football field, exactly like Ronaldinho!"
"Passing, organizing offense, smell... Well, I haven't seen interception and defense yet, but it is obvious that you have all the characteristics of a top player."
Speaking a little thirsty, Guardiola took a few sips from the water bottle beside him, and then continued,
"What I mean by saying so much is that I want to sign with you on behalf of Manchester City Football Club!"
"Now, let me talk about the conditions that Manchester City can give, and then you can tell me what you think."
Guardiola looked down at the time on his watch,
"There is still a lot of time, I hope we can have a good chat!"
Then Guardiola introduced the salary level and bonus distribution amount that Manchester City can give Chen Chen after joining the team, and also talked about the contract period and image rights.
After hearing all this, Chen Chen smiled,
"I like Manchester City very much, and I also admire your coaching level, sir."
"I am very interested in the conditions proposed by Manchester City. I think I am willing to join Manchester City!"
Guardiola was very happy!
The Spaniard took the initiative to stand up, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Chen,
"Chen! You made a very correct choice!"
"Then let's sign a letter of intent now."
Soon a letter of intent was placed in front of the two.
This letter of intent actually has no meaning, it is more like a gentleman's agreement.
If Chen Chen joins other teams at the last minute, Guardiola will have no choice.
But Guardiola believes that Chen Chen will make the best choice.
Manchester City is the top team in English football!
In the Champions League, they also made it to the Champions League final for the first time in history!
It can be said that Manchester City is the most handsome guy in European football this year!
After the agreement was signed, GuardiolaHe took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Chen Chen again.
"Chen! I look forward to the day when you officially join!"
"Manchester City has many English internationals. Maybe after the play-offs are over in a few days, you can come to the youth training base to have a look."
Chen Chen understood what Guardiola meant. Guardiola was talking about Chen Chen's selection for the England national team.
In fact, many people in the circle know that Southgate favors Chen Chen very much.
Everyone understands that this 18-year-old young player is likely to be selected for the preliminary list of the England national team for the European Cup this year.
As for whether he can be included in the final list, it depends on the on-the-spot state.
"Manchester City has many English internationals" means Foden, Sterling, Stones, Kyle Walker... Chen Chen can communicate with them in advance to avoid being unfamiliar with the place and playing timidly, and showing imperfect training level.
Chen Chen replied jokingly,
"I'll come and take a look, Mr. Josep! Just don't let the security guards kick me out as if I'm irrelevant!"
"Is this a cold joke? Hahaha!"
"Call me when the time comes, and I'll pick you up at the door in person!"
"That's it for now. See you at Etihad, kid!"
"Okay! See you at Etihad!"
. . . . . . .
After learning that Chen Chen was determined to join Manchester City, Frank was both happy and painful.
The pain was that he could not continue to coach this young genius who was destined to become a superstar next season!
Although he had known it for a long time, when this day really came, Frank was still a little melancholy.
The happiness was that just like some of his students were admitted to Cambridge and Oxford, Frank realized that his players under the English Championship coach also "entered" Manchester City, the "Cambridge and Oxford" of football.
No one doesn't want the players they coached to go to a better team!
This is a recognition of the players' strength and the coaching level of the head coach!
Of course, Frank didn't think he had done much help. It was all the boy's own effort.
Near noon, Chen Chen went to the club cafeteria for lunch.
There are two things to do in front of Chen Chen now.
One is the two upcoming play-off games, and the other is that before officially signing with Manchester City, he needs to find a suitable agent.
Choosing the right agent is very beneficial for the player's entire career.
For example, Raiola, the agent of Pogba and Ibrahimovic, and Mendes, the agent of Ronaldo and Di Maria.
Although they are the embodiment of greed in the eyes of the club and the media, in the eyes of the players, they are all great people who can fight for the greatest interests for themselves!
But it's meaningless to think so much now, wait until the play-offs are over and see the situation.
At 1 noon on May 22, Brentford Stadium!
The tickets for today's game were sold out as soon as they went on sale!
After all, it is the final home game of Brentford this season, so you can imagine how hot it is!
Today is a big day for the town of Brentford, and countless fans and residents put down their work and rushed to Brentford Stadium!
Those with tickets can enter the stadium, and those without tickets can only watch the big screen outside the stadium in groups.
Those who can't squeeze in to watch the big screen can either go home and watch TV, or go to a pub or restaurant to order a beer and a meal, and everyone can sit together to watch the game.
What we pursue is an atmosphere!
