ball at foot

The commentator was very excited and cheered for the goal of this strong dialogue. The goals when the strong teams face each other are always thrilling.

After Monaco scored two goals in a row, the commentator also took his eyes off the pitch.And in this game, there was indeed one thing that puzzled him. Compared with the performance of the players, what was more eye-catching was that Coach Petit did not appear on the team's coaching bench.

"This is really a strange thing. Petit has always been very concerned about Monaco. When facing such a strong opponent, he should appear on the coaching bench. But he didn't come, what will happen?"

Coach Petit's qualifications in Ligue [-] are old enough, plus the resignation of Monaco's chairman Campola this season, although the person in charge of Monaco in name is Deschamps, but everyone knows that he has just worked in Monaco for three years and has never Deschamps, who has never played in Monaco, is unlikely to replace Petit.So Petit didn't come to this game, where can he go?

The narrator does not know the answer to this question, but if he can look into the box, he will be able to know why. [

"I never thought that you would come to observe the players before the final juncture of the season." Petit said to the people around him, "Don't your team need games?"

"There is no hope of winning the championship." The old man beside him smiled wryly. "Besides, my current condition may require surgery in a while. At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to test the players."

His words made Petit silent for a while, "Resign, heart disease is not suitable for coaching football anymore."

"I still want to lead the team to play games." The old man shook his head, "I also know that I may not be able to beat Ferguson in my life, Liverpool is handed over to me, and I don't have the ability to bring it to the glory of the 80s, but I’m always a little bit reconciled to retreating like this.”

Petit sighed and said nothing.

The head coach of Liverpool, Houllier, the old French coach, came here today to inspect the players.And who he is investigating is naturally self-evident.

"I still don't understand why you want to study Joey. You Liverpool play anti-counterfeiting football, but he is completely an attacking player. His style is not suitable for Liverpool, and you also know that those in the newspapers The saying that he is your fan is just nonsense. There must be someone behind the scenes to instigate you to buy him. Your enemy wants you to buy him. Why do you want to be so obvious? What should I do?" Petit was a little puzzled.

"I have to buy someone." Houllier said with a wry smile, "I'm not hiding it from you, Michael hasn't renewed his contract with the team until now, and his attitude is ambiguous. I have no choice but to stay or leave after this season." I know. If he is willing to stay, then I have to find a good helper. If he wants it, I have to find him a good substitute. Since he is not sure, then I have to find someone who can also fight and hold the scene people..."

"The price can't be too expensive, because Liverpool has no money. The level can't be too low, or you won't be able to keep the face of the rich." Petit sighed, "You came to my place to shop for treasures."

"I can't help it either." Hollier sighed.

In the past few years, Liverpool's lineup has been completely built around Michael Owen alone, almost a team that relies entirely on Owen's counterattack ability.But in a team that entrusts all the offensive tasks of the team to one person, the most fearful thing is naturally the departure of the person who is regarded as the only offensive point.Liverpool has never considered this issue before. Michael Owen is a native of Liverpool. possibility of leaving.But now, after Real Madrid showed their intention to continue collecting Ballon d'Or winners, Irving couldn't sit still anymore. He had been thinking about leaving Liverpool and playing for Real Madrid.

Whether it's youth training or darling, no amount of arrogance can change the fact that Liverpool's strength and reputation are not as good as Real Madrid's.Owen is a very smart and realistic person, what about feelings, where is money and fame important?

With such turmoil, Houllier, the head coach, didn't know what to do.

"The candidate I originally thought of was Cisse from Auxerre." When Houllier said his opinion, he did not hide it. "He is also a counter-attacking striker. If Michael leaves, he can probably sew. Join my team. But the problem is, I’m still a little bit unwilling. I’ve been calling for Liverpool’s continentalization since I took over Liverpool. After so many years, because Michael is here, I can’t abandon it. I have to Play defensive counterattack. Now he is leaving, if I still hold on to defensive counterattack, I will look down on myself."

Speaking of this, Houllier paused, "Besides, my illness is also a problem, and I don't know how long I can work. The upper management of Liverpool wants to take a technical path, and I leave a technical player for the new coach. It's better than Liverpool still playing on the counter-attack."

In fact, it is not only about injuries, but also about performance.Houllier has been coaching for many years. Liverpool has nothing to recommend it from performance to scenes. Except for the defense line, there are almost no bright spots. Houllier himself has also been criticized.If it weren't for Liverpool's century-old team history that has never dismissed any coach, the club doesn't want to break this tradition, and now he has been fired.

"So you want to investigate Joey to see if he can become a core figure in your attempt to continentalize Liverpool after losing Irving." Petit nodded, "Then you just watch carefully."

"Skills, I have watched a lot of videos, and I don't need to watch carefully. But I still can't believe that an Asian can have such good skills. That kind of dribbling pace, I can only do it in Mara Dona and Ortega have seen it before, and the ball feel is just as good and amazing." Houllier shook his head, "That's why I came to you to ask you two questions. The first Yes, he really did not take banned drugs? The second is, do you think he is suitable for the Premier League?"

"I can guarantee the first one. He has stayed under my nose for so long, and I still know what to eat. The second question is not a problem at all. He has been under me for more than a year. Do you think I train What is it? It’s not his skills! With his current skills, he can play anywhere in the world!" [

Petit was somewhat dissatisfied with these two issues.Needless to say, the issue of banned drugs, of course he doesn't like it.And he doesn't like to hear about the Premier League.

The Premier League game is very special. The Premier League is fast-paced and has a lot of physical confrontation. Playing football here, any technical action is prone to technical deformation.Many people say that the skills of Premier League players are rough, but this is not the case: under high-speed and fierce confrontation, the skills will definitely appear to be not subtle enough. The general environment does not necessarily mean that the skills are not good enough.

In fact, anyone can understand this problem: Take the pendulum movement as an example, on the field, as long as you are a person in good health, you can try to do it.But if you do this action while running at a speed of about 11 seconds, Ronaldo's alien body will be injured if he plays too much.The reason is the same. In the environment of the Premier League, no matter how good the technique is, it will be more or less deformed by rhythm and confrontation.

This also makes many Premier League teams have doubts when introducing technical players: Who knows what it will look like after the transformation?Many people's static ball-handling skills are like Maradona's, but once they rush, they are not rough?

But Petit believes that Zhao Yaning absolutely does not need to worry about this issue.

The so-called inability to adapt to other leagues is due to two reasons: one is that although the skills are good, the physical fitness is actually a mess, lack of explosive power, can't accelerate, and can't carry people, so they can't play.The second is that the technical body looks very good, but in fact the technology is not delicate enough. It is okay to play high-speed football at ordinary times, but once you encounter intensive defense and slow down, there is no way.

The former is more common in the Premier League, while the latter is more common in Serie A.

And Zhao Yaning’s physical fitness is absolutely no problem, and Petit has not allowed Zhao Yaning to play high-speed football for the past year and a half, isn’t it to deal with the latter situation?

He believes that the current Zhao Yaning can definitely adapt to any league, and can flourish anywhere.

Petit's attitude is so firm, Houlier will feel a little embarrassed when the time comes.He smiled before speaking again, "Tell me about his characteristics."

"The technique is very good, as you can see." Petit was a little angry, but he still said, "At the front of the penalty area, near the top of the penalty area to the two sides, his ball is absolutely credible, that is With the ability to hold the ball at the same level as Giresser, there is absolutely no need to worry about making any mistakes. In this regard, you will never see it in other players. Speaking of passing ability, the inverted triangle after breaking through from two wings The pass, the small cooperation of three people in the ribs, and the ability to send the ball to the two halves at the top of the arc are all top-notch. There is also a little long pass, which is barely enough and will not be a weakness. Physical strength, golf intelligence and other aspects There is no problem at all, and he is definitely a qualified core candidate."

"You're talking like a salesman." Houllier laughed.

"Aren't you just here to buy goods?" Petit asked back.

"That's true...I heard that you originally planned to sell him to Arsenal?" Houllier asked.

This question made Petit sigh, "I think Arsenal is the most suitable for him. But the problem is, Arthur's temper, you know, he just refuses to pay. I'm sorry for Didier It’s hard to say, after all, he’s a young man, and I can’t speak ill of our generation in front of young people. Arthur, who likes petty gains, shouldn’t be wrong, and sooner or later he will suffer a lot.”

Regarding the conflict between Petit and Wenger, Houllier just laughed it off, "He is the coach of Arsenal, so he naturally wants to save money for Arsenal... Besides, is your asking price a bit high? "

"My quotation for him is 400 million pounds." Petit replied, "A star of hope, is this price considered expensive?"

"You know, I once wanted to buy the Cristiano Ronaldo who is now at Manchester United. Do you know what the Liverpool executives told me?" Houllier laughed, "Children under the age of 18 are not allowed to pay more than 300 million. Buy it at a high price, otherwise it is a waste of money. The Premier League team has money, but it is also very troublesome when spending money.”

These words seem to be speaking for Wenger, but the actual meaning of bargaining is very obvious.

"Fortunately, he is not 18 years old anymore. Moreover, if he continues to behave like this, although his nationality suffers too much. In the Golden Globe selection, it is impossible to win the Golden Globe as early as your Michael, but Potential and performance are not bad at all." Petit raised her head, "I'm not going to give in, maybe at the end of the season, the price will be raised again."

"You're blackmailing." Houllier laughed, "But your team has entered the Champions League knockout round, and I just have to observe it for a while. It's still early in the summer, so I have to observe it again. For a while."

"No matter how much you observe, he won't lower the price." Petit shook his head, "Besides, he doesn't necessarily go to your Liverpool." [

"Liverpool's reputation has not been as good as in the past two years, but it is still g14. He is a brat, and he still has the guts to look down on Liverpool?" Houllier asked rhetorically.

"You said it yourself, the introduction of players depends on three points, passion, performance, and potential. You Liverpool, have passion, potential, and performance? He has already played in the Champions League this year. Do you expect him to play in the Champions League next year? Federation Cup?"

This topic made Houllier's face darken for a while.Not qualifying for the Champions League is indeed a flaw.

"Gillard, I won't hide anything from you. Even if you want to buy him, you have to go to the back row. I still hope he goes to a team like Arsenal that has the Champions League. Moreover, Juventus are also contacting Didi. Ai inspected him, but you also know that I am not at ease doing business with a slippery man like Moji. I am always worried that I will be cheated and I don’t want to provoke him. It's not that he's not capable enough, it's that he doesn't want to go to Liverpool."

"Are there any other teams behind us?" Houllier asked with a wry smile.

"Yes, Barcelona also asked me. But their results are not the same as yours. Of course I will not consider them. What's more, they don't have any money yet, and they only want to trade Saviola."

The biggest reason Petit naturally refused to say: Saviola's salary is 350 million euros in taxes, how can Monaco afford it?

"Is there any interest from Manchester United or Chelsea?"

"Manchester United have investigated him, but there is no movement. Chelsea... I will not let my players go to the upstarts to try their luck. Monaco can operate because we are responsible for the players. Leave the players to the upstarts It's irresponsible. They invest this year, they may divest next year, my players, don't go there."

The lessons learned from Serie A Rome, Lazio and Fiorentina are not far away. These upstarts invested heavily in the previous year and may go bankrupt in the next year.Chelsea seems to be very prosperous, but what if Abramovich gets tired of playing?Petit also has no confidence in upstart-style investment, and doesn't want to do business with Chelsea.

"If you're really interested in him, I'll give you the contact information of his agent. You can contact him and ask." Petit thought for a while, and then said, "His agent, and I have contacted him. In the summer, he did not take the opportunity to ask for a salary increase, so I have to consider his opinion on the matter of the transfer. You can contact him and see if he is willing to talk to you. "

"Can you give me some advice?"

A player's agent can often have a considerable influence on the player. Houllier is not familiar with Zhao Yaning's agent, so he also wants to get some advice from Petit.Such things may seem small, but they often mean a lot.

"His agent, the one in France, don't care, that person is just a person in the circle, he has experience in handling finances and various affairs, but he can't control anything. The one who really manages is the one who is with him Chinese people." Petit thought for a while, "Don't talk to him about money. These people who climbed up from the bottom of society, after they have money, are most afraid of being regarded as nouveau riche, and look down on people who only recognize money. You talk to him. Money, he will look down on you. Don't talk about grades, that person is a very realistic person, and promises of championships are all false, and he cannot be persuaded."

"Don't talk about money and honor? Talk about what?" Houllier asked.

"He has also played football before, and he knows some techniques and tactics. You can show him the demeanor of a famous coach and tell him tactics and techniques. The more you talk, the more he will be convinced. If you want to attract him Players, don’t talk about salary, or future performance, just give him a real promise: the main position, the core position, can impress him.”

After all, Petit has been a coach for many years. Although Zhang Yuan is very smart, he is still an agent. He thinks things in a way that cannot escape the routine. Petit has dealt with countless agents for so many years. , Naturally, he can guess his thoughts.

Players who play football seek only money and fame.Zhao Yaning was born in China, and there is no domestic football player who can compete with him. There is a big market, which is enough for him to not have to worry about money at all. Let no one catch up.

But having said that, while having money, another pursuit is of course fame.Petit had contacted Zhang Yuan several times, and judging from his tone, it seemed that he didn't pay much attention to the number of champions, but was more interested in the issue of the Golden Globe Awards.

Although football is a team sport, for some people, individual awards are more attractive after all.Especially for people like Zhao Yaning from a small football country.They are not from the youth training of giants, and they are not local players. No matter how high their achievements are, it is difficult to spend their entire lives in a team or become a legend of a team.For them, no matter how many championships they win, if they don't have enough personal status, they will be forgotten when they turn around.Therefore, for them, personal honor is more important.Even if the players don't think this way, the agent must also think the same way.After all, they have to consider the issue of eating after the players retire.

Petit is not surprised that Zhang Yuan has this idea.And if you want to win the Golden Globe, in addition to all kinds of unblocking work outside the game, for players from these small countries, there are naturally several essential things.

Skilled players, a wealthy team, core status, qualifications that have survived for many years, coupled with good popularity and not-so-disgraceful national team performance.

Of course, these are for normal people. If Zhao Yaning can really mutate into an alien and lead the Chinese team to win the World Cup, then all conditions are scum. Anatomy is more likely.

As for other things, Zhang Yuan couldn't help him as a manager.However, Zhang Yuan would never give up on his relationship with the media and his request for a core position from the team.Being able to become the core player of a g14 club has a great bonus effect on a player's personal honor.

"Do you really want to contact him now?" Petit said with some dissatisfaction, "It's not yet December, contact me half a year in advance? If my players don't play well because of this, I can find you trouble."

"Jean, I have no other way." Houllier sighed, "You also said that he is a very sought-after player. And what can Liverpool do to attract him? We have no money, and we can't learn from Chelsea's rich and powerful. Come on. We have no guarantee of honor. Manchester United and Juventus are incomparable. And I am also a person with little ability. Arthur can attract players with his personal charm, and I am incomparable with him. We can rely on, The only way to do it is to strike first.”

"This is not grocery shopping. You may not be able to buy fresh goods if you start first. His agent is not a fool. It is impossible to sign a contract with you as soon as you go."

"Of course I know this." Houllier nodded, "but at least, I have to show enough sincerity. I just let him know that other giants need him to go through a lot of investigation and negotiation, and Liverpool , but he is welcome at any time. When the negotiations of other teams do not go well, they can naturally set their sights on Liverpool, and I have earned it."

Liverpool is also a wealthy family anyway, which makes you have a spare tire mentality.Petit wanted to speak, but kept the words in her mouth.

But that's good too, if there is a team willing to be Zhao Yaning's last choice, he might be able to work harder when he is playing for the team.

That being the case, then, there is no need to object to Liverpool contacting his agent.Anyway, in the end, how could Monaco be bypassed when negotiating the contract?
