long live the king

Agents generally take [-]% of the player's transaction fee as a remuneration according to regulations, so they have another nickname-"Mr. Ten Percent".

Today's football stars cannot do without their agents, especially after the "Bosman Act" came into effect at the end of 1995, their value has doubled and they have more say in bargaining with the club.Because they have received little cultural education and know little about economics and contract law, they need brokers to help them develop their own maximum value.Brokers are mainly created in response to this need.

The usual method of many brokers is to make trouble out of nothing and drive up "prices".They always want to encourage the players in their hands to make transfers, so that they can play their role.Regardless of whether the player's transfer is successful or not, the agent will come forward to negotiate with the club, so that a commission can be charged.

French star Anelka is an example. When he played for Arsenal in 1999, although he signed a 4-year contract with the club, his brother and his agent, Crowder, hoped to make extra money.So he claimed that Real Madrid took a fancy to Anelka, who also wanted to play for Real Madrid.At that time, Anelka was in good form and was the hottest player in world football.Real Madrid moved upon hearing the news and immediately offered to buy Anelka from Arsenal.At this time, the "Gunners" had no choice but to let Anelka, who was "in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han", go to Spain. The transfer fee was 2350 million pounds, of which at least 100 million pounds fell into the "broker brother" Claude's fanny pack.

Therefore, many head coaches regard agents as scourges, and they hate agents.

※※※※※※※※※※

However, although the club and the head coach hate agents, they also need them.Portsmouth manager Red Knapp once called agents a "necessary evil".He said: "They are now an integral part of football transfers. For example, if I call the coach of another club directly and say I want to sell a player, the price of this player will definitely drop. And if I find An agent went out and said I have a player who wants to move, but we don't want to let him go. Then he can sell for the price we want."

In addition, it is not an easy thing to become an excellent agent. In addition to some necessary economic and legal knowledge, it is more important to establish a team that includes a large number of players, coaches and even the business community. people network.Only in this way can we be good at dancing with long sleeves, and better seek benefits from employers and ourselves.

Of course, not all brokers are "money parasites."Those famous big brokers actually pay attention to their own influence.For example, Roy Keane's agent Kennedy, etc., their relationship with the players is like a father and son.What they do is more important to ensure that the interests of the players are maximized, to help them manage their finances, and to ensure that they can live a comfortable life after retirement.

Jorge Mendes, the super agent who owns Chelsea coach Mourinho, Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona star Deco, has a good reputation in the football world. Reasons to be inclined to sign with Mendes.

Such an agent is a smart person, knowing that only by taking good care of his players can he maximize the interests of both parties.

※※※※※※※※※※

A commission of [-]% of the transaction fee is a common practice, and Zhang Yang did not entangle Mendes too much on this.

What he values ​​is the percentage of commissions for business development.

Mendes had a half-smile. This kid is quite shrewd. He knows how to pay attention to the value protection of future commercial development at such a young age.

When negotiating with Zhang Yang, Mendes was not angry, but rather happy and relieved. A young player who dares to imagine and look forward to his future value, as long as he works hard enough and has outstanding talent, his future is absolutely limitless.Just because they have a beating heart that will always move forward.

The two sides were drooling, Zhang Yang and Mendes had been haggling for more than half an hour, but they were not dry. He knows that he loves the euro so much. A lot of my own banknotes.

"5.00%!!" Zhang Yang laughed dryly.

"Ten percent!" Mendes shook his head.

"Six percent!" Zhang Yang gritted his teeth.

"Nine percent!" Mendes gritted his teeth.

"Seven percent!"

"Eight percent, no less!" Mendes gritted his teeth with hatred, this kid is quite difficult, he is really a stingy kid.

"Six point five percent!" Zhang Yang shouted at the top of his voice!

"Seven percent!" Mendes slapped the table!

"Deal!" Zhang Yang smiled and slapped the table.

Mendes looked at Zhang Yang and smiled angrily. Only then did he realize that he was cheated by this kid, "How dare you lie to me?"

"I didn't say it couldn't be like this." Zhang Yang said with a dry smile.However, he also felt that this seemed a little unkind. Zhang Yang thought about it and said seriously, "In this way, the commission for football will be adjusted to 12.00%, and for business development, I will only give you [-]%! How about it? "

Jorge Mendes restrained his smile and looked at Zhang Yang seriously.

"Zhang! You are very similar to me!"

"Where does it look like?" Zhang Yang asked suspiciously.

"Like money."

"That's an advantage, isn't it?" Zhang Yang was unhappy, because a gentleman loves money to get it.We make money by working with our feet, there is nothing to blame.

"You are arrogant."

"No, my manager, self-confidence does not mean arrogance." Zhang Yang said slowly.

※※※※※※※※※※

After a while, the two signed the newly drawn contract.

"Hahaha." The old fox Mendes laughed loudly and stretched out his right hand, "Have a nice cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." The little fox Zhang Yang also smiled.

Now that the contract has been signed, the two are now 'on the same boat'.Jorge Mendes got to work quickly.

As the host, Zhang Yang remembered to pour a glass of water for the famous manager.

There was smoke in his throat, Mendes gulped down half a glass of water, and then asked, "How is the contract renewal negotiation between Marseille Club and you?"

"The new contract they offered is a monthly salary of 53000 euros, which means an annual salary of about 63.6 euros, an appearance bonus of 1000 euros, a goal bonus of 1000 euros, and a winning bonus of 1500 euros." Zhang Yang said the new contract offered by the club.

"No sincerity!" Mendes snorted, adding, "Crap contract."

Zhang Yang nodded immediately, deeply agreeing.

"Have you set out your own terms?"

"Of course." Zhang Yang told Mendes about the conditions he offered at the beginning, a monthly salary of 15 euros, an appearance bonus of 2000 euros, a goal bonus of 3000 euros, and a winning bonus of 4000 euros, which is about a basic annual salary of about 180 million euros.

When he said this, he was complacent, meaning, buddy, I am not bad, and the condition he put forward is quite ruthless.

Mendes didn't even bother to look at the young man's self-satisfied face, and directly said a number, "The annual salary is 300 million euros, the appearance bonus is [-] euros, and the winning bonus is [-] euros."

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Zhang Yang, who was drinking water, choked. He coughed again and again, while staring at Mendez with wide eyes. This guy was indeed much more ruthless than himself.

The manager dressed as a 'CIA agent' looked calm, but he was secretly delighted by Zhang Yang's surprised expression.Boy, let you know what a super agent is.

"Do you know what an annual salary of 300 million euros is?" Zhang Yang calmed down and frowned, "Marseille's maximum salary is 290 million euros from Niang."

"Who said you can't get the maximum salary?" Mendes said slowly, drinking the boiled water as if it was a delicious Bordeaux wine.

I love to hear that, Zhang Yang snapped his fingers.

"I think Mr. Fernandez will definitely have a headache." Zhang Yang chuckled.He is now satisfied with this well-known agent, of course, what really happens depends on how well the job is done.There is an agent to discuss the issue of contract renewal, and I can also concentrate on training and competition.

"Your task now is to score goals in the game and score a lot of goals. I will leave the rest to me." Mendes said proudly.

"No problem, I'm good at scoring goals." Zhang Yang said without showing any weakness.

Then, one big and one small looked at each other and laughed.Very happy.

※※※※※※※※※※

The 20052006th round of Ligue 20 in [-] and [-] will start tomorrow, with Marseille playing Lens at home.

Fernandez has just finished breakfast and is sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the morning newspaper. In a short while, he will drive to the training base to start the last day of work before the game.

At this time, the phone rang, and the head coach of the Marseille team received a call from a stranger.Caller ID This is a mobile number turned on.

The mobile phone number was completely unfamiliar. Fernandez stared at the phone number and turned his head for a few times, but he couldn't remember who the number belonged to.

After connecting, there was a French voice with some Latin accents: "Good morning, Mr. Fernandez. I didn't disturb you for breakfast."

"Ah, uh,...good morning, sir, but, may I ask, are you..." Fernandez was a little puzzled, the voice was unfamiliar, who could it be.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jorge Mendes, and I'm Zhang Yang's manager." The voice over there came through the radio clearly.

When he heard the name, Fernandez froze for a moment.He immediately knew who the owner of the name was.

Heck!

When did Zhang find an agent? How could his agent be Mendes?He really couldn't figure out how the two of them met before.Marseille doesn't have Mendes' players, how did this damn Portuguese guy abduct Zhang Yang?

Super agent Mendes has a reputation for being a tough guy.Some reasons for panic, that's all.

The Marseille coach's face changed, and his intuition told him that trouble was coming.
