long live the king

Before Mendes came, Zhang Yang decided to discuss it with the people around him first.

The first person he looked for was his father.It can be said that his father was the guide who led him to fall in love with football. As a son, he would worship his father, even though some people do not want to admit it.

Zhang Yang called Zhang Guodong. He first told his father about the two meetings with the chairman of the Manchester City club.

Zhang Guodong listened to his son's description of the process of the meeting, and did not leave to express his opinion. Instead, he pondered for a while, and said to Zhang Yang, "Son, tell Dad what you think."

"Father, I must admit that this Mr. Alfaim is a very good lobbyist. I was really moved by his words. To be exact, it is not just the bright prospects he said, and the What I value is his attitude and sincerity." Zhang Yang said.

"Are you tempted? Son." Zhang Guodong said with a smile.

"Well, that's right. To be honest, I am also a little surprised. I no longer reject this club. I even think it would be good to transfer to Manchester City." Zhang Yang said.

"Son, Dad doesn't know much about this club. He just knows that this is not a traditional giant with a very ordinary reputation." Zhang Guodong said, "So, when it comes to suggestions, Dad can only say. This matter, although Dad also I can give you reference suggestions, but in the end, you have to make your own decision.”

"Dad, I know." Zhang Yang nodded, "However, I still want to hear your suggestion."

Zhang Guodong on the other end of the phone looked serious. The decision on this matter was related to his son's career.Zhang Guodong is also a little nervous, but there is one thing Zhang Guodong knows. Although his son seems to have not made a decision, he knows that his son is a very assertive person. Since he said to himself that he no longer rejects Manchester City, the fact is that In fact, the son already had a tendency in his heart, but because of some worries, he himself was not aware of his tendency, or he was unwilling to admit it.

There is a saying that Zhang Guodong is serious, that is, Zhang Yang must make his own decision on this matter. His son has grown up, and he has become more mature after wandering abroad for the past few years. Such things can be made by himself Decide.As a father, he just watched from the sidelines, as long as his son did not make an obvious mistake, he would not interfere.

"The chairman of the Manchester City Club really said that they are even willing to spend [-] million pounds to buy you?" Zhang Guodong asked.

"That's what he said." Zhang Yang nodded, "And I can see that he said this with great sincerity."

Zhang Guodong just laughed, "Son, Dad doesn't understand any major principles, but I can make a metaphor. You play football as if you are working for a company. If another company comes to poach you, they are willing to pay a lot of money for you." 'Termination fee', and is willing to entrust you with important tasks, which you cannot get in the original company. The only difference is that your original company is a big company, and the current company , although the scale is not small, but it is a new company. The future development prospect is unpredictable. This is the multiple choice question you have to make, whether to stay in that big company with a long history. In this case, you may still be in your current position However, you will gain a lot of glory. The background of this big company will also make you continue to be the focus. When you go to that new company, the role you can play will increase a lot. There, there will be The broader stage belongs to you, and the only thing you need to worry about is whether you can succeed in the future."

Zhang Yang listened to his father's words on the other end of the phone, and fell into deep thought. He didn't talk about his decision, but took the topic of his father, and then said, in fact, at this time, he was more like making a decision on his own. He said to himself, "Manchester City is not short of money. I can see this from the fact that they are willing to pay me a transfer fee of [-] million pounds. I also know that they have a list and they want to chase more stars. Therefore, their There is no doubt about their ambitions. Although they are not well-known and their results are average, this is a rare stage, a stage that definitely belongs to me, so the current situation of this team is not important, what is important is In the future, will they be helpful to my career and my development? Playing in such a special team, can I get more, can I get a future that I am satisfied with!"

Listening to his son talking to himself, Zhang Guodong also nodded, and said gratifiedly, "Actually, playing football is the same as looking for a job. When you go out to work, what you should pay more attention to is not the current salary, but whether this company can give you a job. The most important thing is whether you have room for development, whether you can give you the trust that other companies will not give you. Son, you are still young, and the road ahead is very broad. As a father, what Dad wants to tell you is that no matter what Don’t be afraid to make any decision, as long as you make up your mind, go for it! I believe my son will succeed wherever he is! Just like you were in Marseille, in Marseille, you didn’t change from an unknown player to So, son, remember, no matter where you are, the important thing is whether you have the heart to continue to work hard! How big is the heart, how broad is the road. To put it bluntly, if you persist Transfer to Manchester City, even if the development is not satisfactory in the next one or two years, can't you get out of this predicament? I don't believe it, I definitely don't think my son will fall down, he will definitely stand up, and, more than More fighting passion and strength than ever! And even if you choose to stay in Milan, even in the next year or two, if you look for a transfer, isn't it too late? There is nowhere to go I don’t believe it either! I believe my son is the best. Even at that time, there will be countless teams pursuing you, and there will still be so many great teams that need you! "

Zhang Yang didn't speak on the other end of the phone, he felt that the corners of his eyes were a little wet, no, it wasn't wet, but tears flowed down.

Oh, Dad, thank you, thank you for your understanding, thank you for your words, yes, your son is the best, thank you for your trust, thank you for your belief, thank you for your support.

Although Dad didn't give an answer, Zhang Yang knew that Dad had already given the answer, that is, go boldly, there is nothing to be afraid of!Son, you are the best!Nothing to lose!

Dad, you are also the dad most respected and admired by your son.Zhang Yang said silently in his heart.

Zhang Yang has already received Dad's opinion.

After asking his father's opinion, Zhang Yang knew that there was only one person left who he didn't ask, and that person was Zhang Dahai. Although his elder brother was not a professional, he didn't know much about these things in football, but Zhang Yang I know, I can definitely get useful advice from my big brother.Zhang Yang has always respected his elder brother Zhang Dahai, and the two brothers have a very good relationship.

After listening to Zhang Yang's story, Zhang Dahai was silent at first, he was thinking, and then Zhang Dahai began to express his own point of view.

"Xiao Yang, I don't know much about Manchester City. I know that Milan is much more famous and stronger than Manchester City." Zhang Dahai said to Zhang Yang, "So, I don't know much about the comparison between these two teams. Having said that, I believe you must have your own comparisons and results in your heart."

Zhang Dahai paused, lit a cigarette, and continued, "If you choose to stay in Milan, then I don't need to say anything more. After all, you are already familiar with Milan. What I want to say is that if you If you plan to choose Manchester City, what are the places that you need to consider carefully. If you think about these clearly, as for whether you choose Manchester City, stay in Milan, or choose to go to other giants, I think it will be The result of your deliberation, at least, you will not regret your decision."

"Thank you, brother. I understand what you mean. Tell me." Zhang Yang said with a smile. At this moment, he really felt that God has treated him so well. With a family that treats him so well, is there any dissatisfaction for him?Is there any insurmountable difficulty?

"First of all, personal treatment is very important. Manchester City's current reputation and strength are not as good as Milan's. Then, what do they rely on to attract you? Those great plans and blueprints for the future, let's not mention them for the time being. First of all, the most practical thing is that they What kind of treatment will be given to you, the personal treatment must be very generous, and this must be a contract that makes you very satisfied." Zhang Dahai said.

"This is natural. The current capital of Manchester City Club is not a problem. One of the aspects that they can attract me is naturally the factor of treatment. Although Mr. Alphaim did not say it clearly, I know that personal treatment should be very good." Zhang Yang said that he has never denied his desire for money, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is perfectly normal for him to work hard, make money, and make a lot of money.

Zhang Yang just reminded himself that chasing money is not the only purpose. Although he likes colorful banknotes, he will never become a slave to money.

"That was the first point just now, and the second point is whether they are capable and willing to pay you enough transfer fees to impress the Milan club. However, the second point, I believe, should not be a problem Since they even expressed their willingness to pay you a transfer fee of 6000 million pounds, it doesn’t matter whether the final transfer fee is [-] million pounds or this [-] million pounds, at least it shows their sincerity and attitude.”

"Well, you're right, big brother." Zhang Yang smiled, "I was really taken aback by the [-] million pounds.

"And the third point is the ambition of this club. As you said, they are very ambitious. Then, this club must show the strength and actions that match their ambition. I don't like Manchester City's current players. I understand, but this team failed to reach the UEFA Cup in the Premier League last season, which explains the problem, that is, the level of their existing players is really not flattering, so the question now is, if you Going to Manchester City, then, can the team guarantee that you will be the core and equip you with helpers, and the equipment can help you and the team, so as to ensure that the team can at least have the impact on paper? The foundation of good grades is very important, as for whether the strength on paper can be transformed into combat effectiveness, it is not something you can grasp." Zhang Dahai said.

Zhang Yang nodded. The "strength on paper" mentioned by the eldest brother refers to the allocation of players, which means, if he joins Manchester City, can the club continue to invest a large amount of money, and the team's personnel allocation Make improvements to increase your strength.To put it simply, Manchester City can bring in several big-name stars this summer, and whether these big-name stars can help his publicized ambitions and goals.

"Also, the most important point is whether the chairman of the Manchester City club, Alfaim, is in a stable position, what is his right to speak, how is his energy, how is his courage, and whether he can guarantee the first step of his established strategy. The continuation of the step!" Zhang Dahai said.

"In this regard, from my intuitive feeling, Al Fayim is indeed a very cunning and ambitious Mr. Chairman. I think it is the luck of this club to have such a Mr. Chairman. Moreover, I have to say , Mr. Alfaim left a very good impression on me, I think this is also an important reason why he does not feel disgusted with joining Manchester City.

"Very good, it seems that you will consider all the points I mentioned." Zhang Dahai said, "Of course, no matter how much I say, it is just to help you analyze and make suggestions. The final choice is yours, Xiao Yang, this matter, I believe that neither me nor my father will interfere with your decision, but I hope you can be cautious, because what is the future of Manchester City, this club really wants to use you as a banner, And I don’t know whether I’m willing to spend a lot of money to rebuild around you, or I’m just lying to you. However, I hope that after you make a prudent decision, you don’t worry about gains and losses. At that time, what you need is Worked hard."

Zhang Yang also nodded vigorously, "Brother, I understand what you mean, thank you, you and Dad mean the same thing, haha. You also understand me, although I may be contradictory now, but once I make a If I make a decision, I will not worry about gains and losses, and I will continue to work hard, because, I know, only this is the only way I can lead to success."

"That's right." Zhang Dahai applauded Zhang Yang's words, "Brother, no matter what time it is, you are the pride of our family."

"Brother, you will always be my pride. You are the people I respect the most." Zhang Yang said with a smile.Although he hasn't made a final decision yet, his heart is much more relaxed now, and he is no longer as depressed as before.For Zhang Yang, the understanding and support of his family is always what he cares most about and also his motivation.The reason why he cares so much about his family's attitude is because he loves them, as if his relatives love him too.

While Zhang Yang was discussing his future with his family, AC Milan head coach Ancelotti was strongly suppressing his anger.

Ancelotti came out of his own office and stood in the corridor. He suddenly wanted to smoke, but he took out the cigarette case, but did not take out the cigarettes. He didn't want to smoke in the corridor, although he It's the head coach of this team. He smokes in the corridor, and no one will say anything, but Ancelotti has always been very strict with himself. Since he restrains his players, he will set an example. It's a holiday, there are not many people in Milanello, even the young players of the youth team are on holiday.

Walking to the bathroom, Ancelotti took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff, but was choked. He coughed repeatedly, and after coughing, he continued to smoke regardless.

A cigarette, less than 1 minute, there is only a cigarette butt left.

Ancelotti stubbed out the cigarette butt, opened the cigarette case again, and wanted to get another one, but he was disappointed to see that the cigarette case was empty.

"Empty? Gone?!" The head coach of AC Milan shook his head and smiled wryly.This very ordinary incident made the head coach even more emotional, and he slammed the gold-plated cigarette case to the ground.

Then, the blushing head coach of Milan turned on the faucet and washed his face as if venting. Why do you say it is the same as venting?There were water stains on his clothes, clean suit, trousers, and leather shoes.

Standing in front of the large mirror on the bathroom sink, staring at myself in the mirror.He looked at the drops of water on the tip of his nose and eyebrows.Ancelotti took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it casually, then put the handkerchief away and put it back in his pocket. This handkerchief was bought for him by his wife many years ago and he has been using it. Ancelotti Tee is a very emotional person.

In the office just now, he, Galliani, Braida, and Leonardo held a conference call with the team's big boss Berlusconi in their respective offices, homes, or resorts. The atmosphere made him uncomfortable.

Although Ancelotti is not alone, Galliani and Braida are his allies, and they agree on some things.However, the result made it difficult for them to put a smile on their faces.

Manchester City launched a fierce offensive against Zhang Yang. Although AC Milan Club has issued a statement saying that Zhang Yang is not for sale, but in this case, it is obviously just an explanation to the media and fans. In fact, Manchester City's pursuit of Zhang Yang obviously interfered with AC Milan. Interior of Milan.

Galliani and Ancelotti's point of view is very clear, publicity is not for sale in the true sense, no matter what the circumstances, can not be sold.What this young man showed was that he was able to establish a dynasty.

Although Braida did not clearly state that Zhang Yang cannot be sold, Braida expressed his own point of view. Braida said that if Zhang Yang is sold, then he wants to find another It is almost impossible for a shooter who can score such crazy goals. Even if Ronaldinho comes, it is impossible to make AC Milan's attack power comparable to last season.

Therefore, in essence, Braida is also opposed to selling Zhang Yang. However, Braida has a saying that foreshadows the sale of Zhang Yang, that is, unless Manchester City can provide a Rejected price tag.

After all, it is no secret that the current financial crisis of the Milan club is no longer a secret.

As for Leonardo, he first informed the participants of the club's progress on the introduction of Ronaldinho. The Barcelona club basically agreed to AC Milan's offer of 400 million euros to Barcelona. In addition, regarding the salary The negotiations on the Internet have also reached a range where Ronaldinho himself and Ronaldinho's brother, his agent Assis, can continue to negotiate.

That is 650-750 million euros. If this price is negotiated, once Ronaldinho transfers to AC Milan, then the former World Footballer will be 900 million euros in the AC Milan club, second only to Kaka The second person with annual salary!

Ancelotti raised doubts about this. The head coach of AC Milan only said one sentence. Ronaldinho did not make any contribution to AC Milan. As soon as he came to the team, he won the team's second place. High salary, then this is not fair to those other players who have brought glory to Milan.

Although Ancelotti did not say it clearly, everyone, including Berlusconi, could hear what he meant. What Ancelotti was talking about was Zhang Yang. Has been in a stalemate, Milan is only willing to increase Zhang Yang's salary from 350 million euros to 400 million euros, on par with Pirlo and others.Become a player in the team, second only to Kaka.

In this regard, Ancelotti has a lot of opinions. In his opinion, the team wants to make Zhang Yang loyal to the team. In terms of salary, although he does not say that he is on the same level as Kaka, he must at least show a certain amount of sincerity. In Ancelotti's mind, if Milan can provide Zhang Yang with a new contract of 500 million euros, Zhang Yang will be satisfied. Although this is still far from Kaka's 900 million euros, Zhang Yang's salary of 500 million Will surpass players such as Pirlo and Seedorf, and become the second only player in the team after Kaka, which is enough to satisfy this young man.Because, Ancelotti feels that he knows Zhang Yang quite well. Although Zhang Yang seems a bit rebellious, he is not the kind of player who plays football purely for money. This young man pursues honor and needs to be respected by the club. 500 million euros is a new contract that can make Zhang Yang feel respected. The salary of this new contract is also enough to ensure that in the next few years, the team will have great leeway when raising Zhang Yang's salary.

Therefore, when Leonardo said that Ronaldinho's salary range is between 600 million euros and 700 million euros, Ancelotti will say "weird things", although these words do not conform to the His status as a head coach.After all, Ronaldinho will be his player too.

Regarding Ancelotti's strange remark, Leonardo's answer was sharp. He said that Ronaldinho, as a star who has won the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or, is the most outstanding player in football. One of the few stars in China, it is not surprising to get this salary.

Ancelotti shut up angrily and ignored Leonardo.Ancelotti has no malice towards Leonardo, but he does not like Leonardo very much for his efforts to increase the number of members of the Brazilian gang in the Milan team. In Ancelotti's view, a team It is not good to rely too much on players from a certain country.Of course, the period of the Dutch Three Musketeers was an exception.

However, after discussing the joining of Ronaldinho, Berlusconi suddenly brought up a topic, that is, what do you think of the Manchester City club's purchase of publicity.

Berlusconi's words immediately attracted the attention of all the people who participated in the video conference, because things should not just look at the surface, in fact, from the fact that Berlusconi was able to ask this sentence, ask everyone what they think about this matter , can already explain Berlusconi's potential attitude.

Berlusconi's underlying attitude and the message it conveyed made the other four people start thinking.

After all, in a word, in Milan, there is only one real boss, and that is Berlusconi, this gentleman, who is definitely the master of the final word.
