Chapter 111 The Lion's Big Opening (Part [-])

Of course Fernandez has heard of the name of Jorge Mendes.

No way, this person is too famous now. As the head coach of a team, it is an unforgivable mistake not to have heard of this name.With Porto winning the European Champions Cup in 2004, this agent named Jorge Mendes became a heavyweight in European football.

It can be said that this person's phone number will be on the desks of the head coaches and general managers of almost all European giants clubs, and in their business card folders.Because he is the largest professional broker in Portugal.He is also one of the football agents with strong influence throughout Europe. He maintains good relations with people such as Chelsea owner Abramovich and Barcelona chairman Laporta. His tentacles extend to every corner of Europe. a corner.

Jorge Mendes, someone once commented on this gentleman. In today’s football, the Portuguese are absolutely superb. The coach has Mourinho, the old players have Figo and Rui Costa, and the Mesozoic has Deco. The young one has Cristiano Ronaldo, and the agent has Jorge Mendes!

This person can be regarded as the godfather of Portugal's professional agent, Chelsea coach Mourinho, Manchester United supernova Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona star Deco, Chelsea star Carvalho, Porto's talented defender Pepe and so on.Famous coaches and players are represented by him.

※※※※※※※※※※

This person is a big name among agents, and he has long been famous. Of course, this person is notoriously difficult to deal with. Any head coach hopes to have a good relationship with such a super agent, and hopes to be able to get him. However, at the same time, if there is a player represented by Mendes in the team, the head coach of the team will also be vigilant and have a headache for him!

This gentleman is too cunning.

Fernandez put down the newspaper in his hand and began to cheer up. When dealing with such a cunning agent, one must be vigilant at all times and cannot lose momentum at the beginning. He said: "I have heard of your name. Mendes Mr. I didn't expect Zhang Yang to be the player you represent."

There was a burst of hearty laughter from Jorge Mendes on the other end of the phone, and the super agent's momentum and demeanor were undoubtedly revealed: "Haha, I am afraid that there are not many coaches who have never heard my name. Mr. Fernandez, I am also very fond of you. Admiration, Qi Zu once praised you to me. Is that so, your club is now negotiating contract renewal with my player Zhang Yang?"

That's my player!Fernandez cursed in his heart, but said politely, "Yes, we are very satisfied with Zhang's performance. As far as I know, both the club and the players are inclined to continue to cooperate."

When Fernandez said this, he rubbed his temples. He was really surprised... When did Zhang Yang get an agent?It's still Jorge Mendes. Zhang Yang trains very hard every day, and he has to practice extra after training. I haven't heard that he has contact with this Portuguese guy.

Could it be that Mendez himself came to the door?It should be like this.Fernandez also had to be amazed at Mendes' professional dedication, and he was still staring at Ligue [-] all the time. He paid attention to and won a newcomer who had just become famous so quickly.

※※※※※※※※※※

He also understood the meaning of Mendes' call, which meant that Zhang Yang's contract renewal and salary increase negotiations were fully handled by the super agent.

Of course, the player's salary increase is a legitimate request, and Fernandez also feels that Zhang Yang's previous salary was too low.

He agrees with this.However, he felt that Zhang Yang's previous salary request was too high, which exceeded the psychological price of the Marseille club.That's why it has been delayed until now.Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang had already found an agent.

Of course Fernandez knows that it is not easy to deal with Mendes, a cunning agent, and now he regrets not renewing his contract with Zhang Yang in time.

Now that the player's agent has called, let him sit at a table and negotiate.

The two parties made an appointment this afternoon at the Marseille team's training base, the office of head coach Fernandez to conduct negotiations on Zhang Yang's contract renewal.

※※※※※※※※※※

Fernandez hung up the phone, rubbed his temples, and instinctively told him that the negotiations in the afternoon would be difficult, and the salary offered by the Marseille team must not work.

He immediately spoke to Chairman Diouf, and after being informed that Zhang Yang's agent was Jorge Mendes, Fernandez vaguely heard the Chairman on the other end of the phone swearing.

As a result of the communication between the two, Zhang Yang’s salary was increased again, with a monthly salary of 75000 euros, which means an annual salary of about 90 euros, an appearance bonus of 2000 euros, a goal bonus of 2000 euros, and a winning bonus of 3000 euros.

Well, compared to Zhang Yang's previous basic salary, it has increased several times.Although it is half of the annual salary of 180 million euros proposed by Zhang Yang, they feel that this is already a good contract and can express the sincerity of the Marseille club. You, a first-year rookie, can get an annual salary of 90 euros. Boy, what else do you want? !

※※※※※※※※※※

After training that morning, head coach Fernandez announced the squad for tomorrow's match against Lens.

Zhang Yang is on the list without any surprise, and as long as there are no emergencies, he should still start.Now that he's in the right shape and he's showing a good shooting feel in training, there's no reason to take him out of the starting lineup.

And just met with the media and fans at the press conference and officially announced that Jan Koller, a Czech high-ranking man who joined Marseille, has also entered the squad. This makes Jan Koller very happy. He came to Marseille just to be able to play. You know, he hasn't played in the Bundesliga for more than a month.

Finish reading the roster.Everyone disbanded on the spot.However, tonight, the whole team will go to the club's partner hotel to stay. Although it is a home game, they will still stay in the hotel collectively, which is convenient for management.It can also enhance the cohesion of the team and maintain the fighting atmosphere.

Zhang Yang was chatting with Ribery about some happy topic, he laughed.

"Zhang." Coach Fernandez suddenly called Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang looked up at the head coach, "Coach, what's the matter?"

"You have an agent?" Fernandez asked with a strange expression.

"Well, Jorge Mendes, he came to find me by himself." Zhang Yang smiled in his stomach, but quickly put aside the relationship on his mouth. I didn't contact this cunning agent by myself, he came to the door by himself. of.

"Well, good, good manager." Fernandez's smile was a little stiff, and he really came to him.Is this portuguese's nose a dog's nose?Why is the sense of smell so sensitive, you can smell the smell of Marseilles across the ocean.

※※※※※※※※※※

Fernandez was angry. He was prepared that Jorge Mendes might make new demands on Zhang Yang's salary, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yang's new agent would open his mouth directly.

The monthly salary is 25 euros, um, that is, the annual salary is 300 million euros. At the same time, the bonus treatment has been greatly increased. The appearance bonus is [-] euros, the goal bonus is [-] euros, and the winning bonus is [-] euros.

"What did you say?" Fernandez almost thought he had heard wrong.

Jorge Mendes was very polite and clearly said the number he just said slowly and forcefully again!

"Mr. Mendes, do you know what the current maximum salary of the Marseille team is?" Fernandez asked unceremoniously, he was irritated by the price proposed by Mendes.

"It's 290 million euros from Senegalese striker Niang." Mendes said unhurriedly, and then he bowed slightly, "Excuse me, how many goals has the Senegalese scored this season?"

As the head coach of Marseille, Fernandez certainly knows the statistics of his players. Niang has scored a total of 7 goals this season, which he scored in [-] games!

※※※※※※※※※※

Fernandez coughed. He understood what the damn agent meant. Niang scored seven goals in 290 games and was able to get an annual salary of 300 million euros. So, after scoring [-] goals in seven games Zhang Yang, is [-] million euros too much?

In this way, naturally it is not much! Three million euros is not much at all.

However, Fernandez really wanted to grab this agent who was dressed like a secret agent and said, this is not how the account is calculated!There is no such algorithm!

"Mr. Mendes, do you think it's possible to get 300 million euros after only playing seven games as a first-year student?" Fernandez asked coldly.

Mendes shook his head, "You have your considerations, I have my calculation method, I think my players are fully qualified to receive such a salary."

Mendes insisted on such conditions, making it impossible to continue the negotiations.Fernandez was furious but had to hold back his anger, not tearing his face apart.

※※※※※※※※※※

After sending Jorge Mendes away, he slapped the table directly. He doubted whether the other party had enough sincerity, and then he couldn't help thinking, could it be that other teams have contacted Zhang Yang in private, so Mendes did this Unscrupulous demands?

Mendes made his debut after becoming Zhang Yang's agent, and the negotiation only lasted less than 10 minutes. He broke up with Marseille coach Fernandez.

Fernandez was furious. He decided that he would not participate in Zhang Yang's contract renewal negotiations. This task should be handed over to the team manager. This is the job of the team manager!

After Jorge Mendes walked out of Fernandez's office, he showed a faint smile. This Fernandez may be an excellent head coach, but he is not a good negotiator.This first negotiation seemed fruitless, but he won the round.

Just because he proposed an annual salary of 300 million euros, which caused Fernandez to fly into a rage, saying that Zhang Yang was not up to the level of 300 million!As long as Mendes continues to bite the price of 300 million, the number will definitely drop after several negotiations, but it will definitely not be low!It will definitely make Zhang Yang jump up with satisfaction and joy.

This was Jorge Mendes' debut as Zhang Yang's agent, but Mendes vowed to do a good job for that kid to see what a super agent is capable of.

※※※※※※※※※※

Walking out of the Marseille team training base, sitting in his Bentley, Jorge Mendes dialed Zhang Yang's cell phone.

"Hi Zhang."

"Hello, Jorge." Zhang Yang knew what Mende wanted to say when he called.He waited for Mendez to tell him how the negotiations were going.

However, the manager didn't say anything, but asked, "Are you starting tomorrow's game?"

"If there is no problem, I will be the starter." Zhang Yang nodded and said.

"Very good, what you have to do is to score as many goals as possible." Mendes chuckled, "Tomorrow's game will be a focus game, it's a very good matchup."

"Haha, scoring goals is my favorite." Zhang Yang said with an immodest smile, attracting his teammates to look at him. Fortunately, everyone was used to his temper. A sarcastic remark.

In the 20052006th round of the Ligue 20 season in 4 and 2, Marseille vs. Lens at home, Marseille ranked No.[-] in the league, and Lens ranked No.[-] in the league——

Sure enough, what a focus match!
