football's most handsome

The two of them made an appointment to meet at the airport in Madrid. It happened that Deportivo's game ended a little later, and although Real Madrid said that the game ended earlier, they were playing away games?It will take a little time to fly back, and they have to go back to the Bernabeu before disbanding.

So Juan was not in a hurry. After the game, he confirmed the score of Casillas. It sounds like the people there are very excited. After all, they have reached the last moment of the group stage. It's the biggest joke yet.

After asking the person on the phone a few words, Juan hung up the phone.

The transfer window for the winter break has opened, and just as Casillas and the others haven’t come back, Juan wants to find him and their chairman to talk about the issue of the players in the team. There are some treatment issues.

When it comes to the team's treatment, the chairman is obviously very sorry. After all, as the head coach of Deportivo, Juan Diaz's annual salary is only 10.

One hundred thousand, my friends, what kind of concept is this?

——Zidane of Real Madrid next door, his weekly salary is 15, and he trains for a week, which is worth the hard work of the little coach of Deportivo for a year.

Thinking of this, the chairman felt very embarrassed.

And Juan's performance in the past half season is obvious to all. Everyone knows what a powerful new force he is now, and their chairman also knows it.

Therefore, Juan was not surprised at his own price increase, but when he heard the reason for the price increase, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"A quote?"

"Yes." The chairman wiped the sweat from his head. It is really difficult for him to sweat in December weather. "I heard from Jorge Mendez, A club offered you an offer, and offered an annual salary of 500 million, and would also pay Deportivo a liquidated damages, you see...?"

Juan laughed: "My liquidated damages are cheap, right?"

The chairman stopped talking. Indeed, when he hired this young man, he never expected to have such an achievement. He didn't even expect that this person could lead La Coruña to where it is today.

At least for now, Juan Diaz is an indispensable personnel for Deportivo.

And he was right in one sentence, his liquidated damages are really cheap, and Deportivo's getting such a small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.

Compared with Juan Diaz's income for the club, such money is not worth mentioning at all: "Yes, so no matter what, we hope to keep you, and the treatment is easy to talk about."

"That's right." Juan nodded. "What about Jorge? If he's not there, I can't talk to you about these things."

"I'm here." Mendes' voice came out from behind the screen, and the Portuguese agent came out a little embarrassed, hehe rubbed his head, "I came before the game was over, talking to Mr. Chairman until now."

"I know you're here, otherwise Mr. Chairman wouldn't talk to me about these things." Juan glanced at him, "Sit down, let's talk about the treatment."

"Okay." The chairman nodded seriously, "You can state your request."

Jorge Mendes had already communicated with Juan in private before, and they also knew that Deportivo would grasp Juan's only life-saving straw. At least for now, Deportivo Can't do without Juan.

"Our request here is to increase the salary to 50 euros."

"50?" The chairman lost his voice. Of course, this is not because the request is too much, but because the price increase is too little. In fact, he is already ready to raise the price to 200 million for Juan. After all, What Juan has done this season is really amazing, which surprised the entire La Liga.

At the La Liga chairman's party before the end of the season, he even appeared on the scene with his head held high and his chest held high, accepting praise and compliments from others!

Obviously, the chairman was shocked by his cheapness, Jorge Mendes waved his hand: "Please listen to me, in fact, this is only our salary requirement, and there are some other Let me explain it clearly here.”

"Please speak." The chairman held his breath and was ready to jump up and refute or directly dismiss when he heard excessive demands.

"Juan Dias must have enough power to speak about the team's transfer personnel. Juan Dias has a veto right for all transfers of first-team players." Jorge Mende Si looked at the information in his hand and said, "At the same time, Juan Diaz's personal name and portrait rights belong to him personally."

"No problem." The chairman agreed, and these are nothing!Compared with the current development of La Coruña, Juan's request is really not excessive at all!

"Are you sure there is no problem, Chairman?" Seeing how readily he agreed, Juan couldn't help reminding him, "Our request, in other words, is all the transfers of the first team. It's up to me to decide whether to buy or sell, right?"

"I know." The chairman nodded and laughed, "To be honest, at the beginning I didn't know how Deportivo would play in the new season, and I didn't even know how we would survive the preseason. , it turned out that Jorge Mendes recommended you to me, and then in the next month, I witnessed a miracle happen..."

"Redondo, Romario, Zagorakis, and all kinds of teenagers, it can be said that Deportivo didn't have such a luxurious lineup in its heyday, and you can rely on just one month. You did it, I can't even figure it out now, how you did it."

Juan just smiled and didn't say much.

He can't tell this person, it's because stupid people have stupid blessings, right?

The chairman didn't expect to get a reply from him, but just sighed: "Although I can be regarded as a chairman who understands football, I am definitely not that professional, and there is no one in Deportivo to take charge of this area. I was still thinking, do we need a sporting director too? But now I see, you don’t need a sporting director, all you need is... decentralization.”

"As long as you are given a chance, you can fight for everything on your own. It is such a positive spirit that makes me completely believe in your control of the team... I remember, you were trained by Alex Ferguson, right?"

"Yes." Juan nodded. His current management of the team is indeed mostly learned from Sir Alex Ferguson's philosophy. It can be said that his style of doing things is still largely similar to Sir Alex Ferguson. .

"I knew it." The chairman smiled and stood up, "If possible, I hope you can become Ferguson of our La Coruña."

"You mean to offer me a 20-year super-long contract?" Juan teased him, and got up to shake hands with him, but both of them knew that the negotiation was not over yet.

"If you want, I can also call you." The chairman smiled, "It depends on your personal opinion... Also, if you want to use the portrait rights and name rights, you can use them yourself, although I know that it represents a large part of the money, but your salary has been reduced to such a low level, and I won't ask you for anything more."

"That would be great." Jorge Mendes smiled, took out a document from his briefcase and handed it directly, "This is the contract we drafted, take a look, it's almost done Just sign it."

The chairman nodded, and then buried his head in the documents to read hard. It’s not that La Coruña doesn’t have a legal team, but it’s already disbanded... and the chairman also knows that the legal team is almost Jorge Mendes’ agency The people under the flag, even if they are not, must have some relationship, so they are almost their own family.

"Okay." The chairman nodded, signed his name directly, and then raised his head and passed the document to Juan for him to sign, "Speaking of which, do you want to buy something during the winter break? Or, in other teams, you Is there anyone you want?"

While signing, Juan replied: "There are people who want to buy, and there are a few people who want to sell... Later we will call the lawyer team and the people from the notary office to confirm the contract, and then we will Tell me about the staff."

"I don't care who you want to sell, as long as it's not Belleron, it would be even better if Andrade and Capdevila can't be sold." The chairman waved his hand, "So, who is the candidate?"

Juan couldn't help but laugh at the fact that his chairman loved the veteran so much. He put down the pen, then straightened up and looked into his eyes.

"I want to sell Basinas, Zagorakis... and Romario."

The room fell silent, and the two stared at him with wide-eyed eyes.

"Who?"

"Sousa Romario." Juan's expression was very calm, "His physical fitness can no longer keep up with the development of La Liga."

"Then, what..." the chairman stammered a little, "At least he is... er, he has made a great contribution to the team!"

When Romario was there, it can be said that more than half of the coaching resources were left in Deportivo, because for some reason, the small players were particularly enthusiastic about the education of Deportivo's juniors. With his help, the progress of David Luiz and Thiago Silva has been outstanding.

"Haven't we already agreed?" Juan pointed to the contract, and the chairman was speechless at once: "But, but...how about you think about it a little bit?"

The expression on the chairman's face looked as if he was about to cry. Jorge Mendes looked at the expression of Chairman Laco, then at Juan's serious face, and understood.

...This classmate, it is not enough for you to bully your players and your coaches and colleagues, but now you want to bully your immediate boss? ?

"If we sell it, we can save a place."

"But……"

"And we can also use that money to buy a new little fresh meat."

"but……"

"Even if you don't buy newcomers, the money can be used as a subsidy for the club."

"..."

The chairman stopped talking.

Juan smiled at him: "What do you think?"

"...I still think, why don't you think about it again?" The chairman was a little cautious when he asked this sentence. Defaulted, this is simply the worst case scenario!

However, to his surprise, Juan agreed very directly: "Okay."

"Ah?" The person who was already prepared to quarrel with Juan was stunned, and looked at him with his mouth wide open. Juan smiled back at him: "What's wrong?"

"No, I thought you had to sell it..."

"Of course not, I'm just giving you an example." Juan's expression was very calm, "Even if I decide to buy the buyer, La Coruña is still a company in terms of counting, and you, as the chairman, are the president of the company. If you If you have an opinion on the following, you can still say it.”

"That's it." Mr. Chairman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course." Juan smiled, "Although I am very envious of Lord Ferguson and the Grayson family behind him who support him, after all, I am still young and need your support."

……

Mr. Chairman of La Coruña suddenly felt that cold sweat was dripping from his head.

How did he feel that this sentence had a reverse meaning?

He did say at the beginning that he wanted Juan to be Ferguson of La Coruña, so Juan directly used the Grayson family as a metaphor and turned him into an army?

Does that mean he can't do it?

Finally, the chairman felt complacent. Looking at the two people in front of him who were still smiling subtly, he almost couldn't hold back his anger: "You two...do you need to test me like this?!"

"Of course, we will get along for a long time in the future." The expression on Juan's face finally relaxed, showing a successful prank smile, "Of course, if you don't like it, I won't do it in the future gone."

"If possible, let's talk about things directly in the future, don't be so meandering..." The chairman slumped on the chair weakly, "Seriously, what are your goals during the winter break?"

"Yes." Juan smiled. "On the sell side, I'm advocating putting Basinas and Zagorakis up for sale."

"Are you really going to sell these two people?" The chairman was taken aback, "What happened to them?"

what happened?

Juan smiled.

At the end of the season, Juan often sent these two people to the game, which can be said to give them enough opportunities. It seems that Zagorakis realized something, and he performed almost desperately well on the field. In contrast, Basinas is a bit worse.

However, if you look at at least the team as a whole, Basinas' performance is also remarkable, at least it seems that the data is not so ugly.

In the last game of the season, when Deportivo played against Liverpool at home, Juan was actually not in a good mood, because Basinas came to him again and directly said: He will choose to leave during the winter break .

Juan was not at all surprised that he said he wanted to leave, but Zagorakis also said that he wanted to leave, so he was really surprised.

Zagorakis is indeed not very adapted to Deportivo's current tactics, or in other words, he is not very adaptable to tossing in a formation like Deportivo at his age.

Depor is now mainly protecting the midfielder, but at least in the frontcourt, they still have a lot of running - Romario's accident, Deportivo only needs one.

As a striker, Zagorakis knows that he really doesn't adapt to the current tactics, and he can't speak a word of Spanish or Portuguese, so he can't stay in the team well.

Therefore, although Juan felt sorry for his departure, he could only express his blessings.

"So you're going to sell Basinas and Zagorakis... a striker and a defender, and then who do you want to add?" The chairman asked with raised eyebrows, although he has decided not to ask Juan about the transfer of players , but at any rate he is also the chairman of La Coruña, so it is right to ask a few more questions.

"I may want to keep this a little secret from you." Juan smiled, then waved his hand. To be honest, he was already ready to bleed! "Is Deportivo enough to repay the bank and government installment loans?"

"Enough!" Speaking of this, the chairman felt a little happy. Deportivo didn't make so much money even when they were Super Deportivo in the past! "I did the math. After everything else, we still have 2000 million to spend."

He finally discovered how powerful women's purchasing power is now. In the peripheral stores of La Coruña, the sales of posters, women's jerseys, and various bags and cups are high. Of course, this does not mean that men The consumption of the fans is not strong, and the consumption of the male fans of Deportivo is also at the upper-middle level of La Liga. However, compared with other clubs, the purchasing power of Deportivo's women is beyond everyone's expectations.

And not only the peripherals, but also the tickets. Deportivo season tickets are especially sold this season. Fans holding season tickets can watch all Deportivo games in the coming time, including King's Cup, League and Champions League.

After nearly 4000 season tickets are sold out, the remaining single tickets are also booming. In fact, the attendance rate of La Coruña has not been too high, and the 40-seat stadium may have to be vacant two or three times. Thousands of locations can even be vacant by more than [-]% in the off-season.

But since this season, Deportivo's attendance rate in a single game has never been lower than 95%.

The whole stadium is always full, and whether it is a home or away game, Deportivo has already had a lot of people cheering for it, and even has its own overseas fans. This has to be said to be a surprise!

Although most of the people may come for the big shots in the team, doesn't this also show that Deportivo is thriving now?

"2000 million." Juan pondered for a while, frowning, "Maybe it's not enough."

"Not enough?" The chairman blinked, "What if you count the money from selling Basinas and Zagorakis?"

"As long as the two of them can sell 1000 million, that's enough." Juan nodded.

"...So who do you want to buy?!" He finally couldn't help it anymore, and asked with raised eyebrows.

"I want to buy Morientes." Juan finally let go, but the answer he said surprised the chairman directly, "Morientes? The one from Real Madrid?"

"Yes." Juan nodded, "Deportivo's current striker can't handle it, so it's better to have someone with more experience... Of course, I'm not saying that Romario has no experience, but his experience is not very suitable for ordinary strikers. .”

It's really not very suitable. Romario's method of monsters may be more suitable for little monsters, while others still need to learn the normal route.

"Morientes has the most outstanding ability in the world, and you are not unaware of his excellence." Juan smiled, "Although in the European Cup, his and Raul's performances were relatively sluggish, and they were also in the club. I have been sitting on the bench, but you have seen the performance in other clubs before."

"Indeed." The chairman was a little moved by what he said, "Okay then, shall I go get in touch with him?"

"It's okay, Chairman, leave this matter to me." Juan didn't say that he had already contacted Morientes several times and persuaded him several times. As a friend of Morientes, he Contact is really nothing at all.

...Who the hell let La Liga have such a weird head coach, who is younger than a player.

The chairman nodded: "Then do you want to add someone else? I think you may need to think carefully about candidates for defense..."

Indeed, Deportivo sold a defense and a forward, and now that there are forward candidates, it is only natural to add another defense.

But when talking about this topic, Juan paused strangely, then subconsciously looked down at his watch: "Ah, it's going to be too late."

"Are you in a hurry?" The chairman looked at him understandingly, and Juan smiled: "Yes, I have to catch a plane, sorry for your excuse."

Juan Diaz left in a hurry, leaving the president and Jorge Mendez alone.

"Oh, I really don't know who Juan's target is." The chairman sighed twice, then turned his head to the Portuguese agent, "Jorge, do you have a general target?"

Jorge smiled at him, then lowered his head and began to take out the contract from the bag: "I don't know the choice, but can we summarize the contents of the matter just now?"

"..."
