Chapter 12 Journey to Spain

"Can second division teams really buy these players?"

Sitting on a private jet, Mourinho asked with a glass of wine.

He had just released Liana from his contract, mainly because the tape Edward had shown him was too tempting.

Although he was a badass in his player days, his vision was definitely not bad. Just like Edward said, these kids have the potential to become superstars.

Edward put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Jose, there is nothing in this world that money can't solve. If it can't be solved, it means that you don't have enough money."

"The players I want must be bought. I can spend money on the club to take the initiative to stun the players and send them to Berlin. If the players don't want to come, I can use the money to persuade his parents, brothers, sisters, and even relatives, friends and neighbors." .”

Recently, Edward's nouveau riche temperament has emerged a bit, mainly because it is so cool to talk like this.

If it were a demolition household, it would be rude to say this while wearing a big gold chain.

What kind of person is Edward? The assets left by his grandfather can be ranked among the top three in Germany. Even if he speaks like this, he still has the confidence to sell players?Edward even bought the club after getting mad. At worst, every league would have a satellite club. It would be cool to think about turning those giants into satellite clubs of Union Berlin.

Mourinho was speechless for a while, Edward exuded aristocratic temperament all over his body, but the words he said were so inconsistent.

However, he believes that Edward didn't just say that if he really wants a player and the other party refuses to sell, Edward will definitely be able to buy the next club.

------

Their first stop is San Sebastian, the area where Real Sociedad is located.

Edward's goal is Harvey Alonso. This midfielder with both offense and defense and excellent spirit will definitely surprise Mourinho. As long as Alonso is won, Union Berlin will not have to be a midfielder for more than ten years. worry.

But things were not as simple as he thought, and Edward was rejected.

"Are you crazy? My son will not go to Germany to play football, let alone play in the second division."

After listening to Edward's words, Alonso's father put away his teacup and drove away.

Perik Alonso once played for Real Sociedad and Barcelona. It was under the influence of his father that Alonso took the road of football.

Edward tried to communicate: "Can I wait for Harvey to come back and talk to him face to face?"

"Whatever you want, my son will not agree."

Perik Alonso was right. Edward's persuasion failed to get satisfactory results. Harvey Alonso, who has become the captain of Real Sociedad, never thought about transferring, let alone a German second team team.

"I remember when you came here you said you would spend money on players lying down."

Mourinho joked.

"There are always people who don't like money, don't they?"

Edward has no good way to meet this kind of person. Alonso has a clear plan for his career. Knowing that the Premier League’s maximum salary is only 9, and Campbell’s income is only about 300 million pounds including taxes, why does the fledgling Alonso earn more than Campbell? Even if Edward has money, he doesn’t spend it like this. With so much money, what about other players, even if the contract was relatively small when they first transferred, but after a year or two, those geniuses realized their potential, and they couldn't be paid with a small contract.

Edward wanted to build a self-sufficient giants even without capital injection, and didn't want to build a Manchester United under Santoku. It's not that Manchester United's players were poor at that time, but they didn't deserve such a big contract at all.

When he arrived in Gijon, Edward easily achieved his wish. A check of 80 euros made Sporting Gijon easy to let go, wishing to tie up David Villa of the youth team and send him to Germany.

Villa is indeed very good, but he has never even played a first-team game. For a second-tier team like Gijon, 80 is not a small sum.

Seeing the attitude of Sporting Gijon's management, Edward was in a good mood: "Jose, what do you have to say now?"

The reason why Edward offered 80 euros is that he knew that Villa moved to Zaragoza for only 150 million euros in a few years, and he knew that Sporting Gijon would be very happy with this price.

If the negotiation continues, it should be within 50 euros, or even less, but Edward is relatively tight this summer, and he doesn’t want to argue with Sporting Gijon over a little money. The company factory left by his grandfather makes thousands of dollars every day. Ten thousand is the smallest counting unit.

"The players haven't let up yet."

Mourinho shrugged and said, but he thinks the players should be fine.

David Villa can't even play in the West Second Division at present, and now Edward is willing to let him play in the German Second Division. He can't refuse the temptation of entering the first team.

Sure enough, after Edward promised that both his parents could go to Germany to work, David Villa signed his name on the contract without hesitation.

His father was a mine worker. Although he made a lot of money, he was often in danger and almost couldn't come back once.

Edward was willing to offer his father a decent and lucrative job, and Villa had no reason to refuse.

After leaving enough airfare, Edward and Villa agreed on a reporting time and flew to Sweden non-stop.

This is another star he likes. Although Villa is good at football, but his personality is too boring, there is no news. This kind of player who keeps his own place is good, and the team also needs that kind of character. Players, at least fight Will not be bullied.

Ibrahimovic, who is tall and tall and has practiced taekwondo, is definitely a good choice. He can brag and realize what he has boasted. Neo, I believe that this time the two of them will also be able to collide with passion. Even if they cross time and space, their personalities remain the same.

In the future, if I have nothing to do, I can watch Ibrahimovic bragging in the newspaper, which is also very interesting.

But when they arrived in Malmö, they were told that they were late. Ajax had already started negotiations with them in March. Although they hadn’t signed the contract yet, Ibrahimovic had already decided to join at a price of 3 million euros. Overlord of the Eredivisie.

fuck!

This is really a day dog.

Edward’s striker combination is Ibrahimovic Ibrahimovic. The two have excellent skills and complementary personalities. In addition, Villa has the ability to pull the side. In Edward’s eyes, he is the best main striker combination he can buy. But I didn't expect that he had already made a private decision with Ajax for life.

Mourinho enjoys the feeling of seeing Edward deflated, which can be regarded as a "hating the rich" mentality.

He smirked and said, "What should I do now? You've been telling me how good Zlatan is all the way, but they've already made a deal with Ajax."

"What should I do? Go to Holland, they robbed me of my striker, and I poached the entire Dutch national youth team!"

Don't underestimate Edward's revenge mentality. He is ready to extend his tentacles to the Ajax youth training camp and those stars who will transfer to Ajax in the future. Is it even worse?
Edward had a small mind. Originally, he thought that there were some players in Spain such as Jesús Navas who could try to contact him. He should switch back to Spain, but when he thought of Ajax intercepting Huib, he didn’t immediately retaliate against him. Couldn't sleep at all so flew straight to Amsterdam.

The magic of money is endless, just paid 500 euros, and immediately a leading party brought his three "relatives" into the Ajax training ground.

"Fuck, isn't this De Jong?!"

Edward was a super fan in his previous life, but he can only remember Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart and Sneijder of Ajax during this period. Unexpectedly, he found that there are many future famous players in the training ground of the youth team. This is a super treasure house!
"Jose, what do you think of those two boys?"

Edward pointed to the figure running on the training ground and asked.

"The player in the frontcourt has excellent organizational skills, and it's not bad to protect the kid behind him. The defense is really fierce! Edward, why don't we pack them up and take them away?"

Mourinho is clearly tempted.

Edward secretly laughed in his heart. Sneijder grew up to be a world-class star under Mourinho in his previous life. Unexpectedly, when time and space changed, Mourinho still took a fancy to Sneijder.

As for De Jong, although he has never played under Mourinho in his previous life, it is not surprising that Mourinho, who is fond of midfielders, can take a fancy to De Jong. "The defensive player, just don't know where Pepe is playing now. The Brazilian-born defender's football road before playing for Porto seems to be very tortuous, and people will have to check it later.

Edward replied; "Of course, today we come to Ajax to prepare for a big purchase. Not only the youth team, but also the first team I am going to dig!"

Regardless of whether there is a date or not, Edward is ready to play a few shots, and he will give a high salary to anyone who is willing to transfer. This is no longer a simple transfer operation, but mainly to vent his anger.

After looking at the youth team training ground for a while, Edward took Mourinho and Philippe to the training ground of the Ajax first team. Players who have been negotiating transfers for a few days have extra training at the first team training ground.

"That big guy is nice."

Mourinho said to Edward.

Christian Chivu?
This is another old player of Mourinho's previous life at Inter Milan. It's really fate.

In addition to him, Edward also met Maxwell, Van der Meyde and Van der Vaart. Ajax's youth training is really not covered, and any one drawn out is a top star seedling.

I don't know how many future superstars there are for those players who have left the team for vacation.

Today, the five players recognized by him, Edward is going to pack up and play back to Berlin. Although Van der Meyde has been declining all the way since leaving the Netherlands, he is still very good at this period, even more dazzling than Van der Vaart, but he has not met his opponent. If he can perform better in this life than in the Netherlands, he will make a lot of money.

Eight million scratch-off lottery tickets are really cheap for Edward who has come from 800. In 2019, any child who has not played a few games in the first team will cost tens of millions. The counting unit is still pounds. Add another 2019 million. The Madison that Manchester United wants to buy is only 2000 million after playing more than 10 first-team games. Atletico Madrid even spent 5000 million to buy Felix, who has not yet proved himself in the four major leagues. For a player like Van der Meyde who has performed very well in the Eredivisie and the Champions League, 1 million is really not expensive.

A little later, Edward and his party were the first to contact Van der Meyde, but they were rejected unexpectedly.

Even though Edouard promised to increase his salary at Ajax by 5 times, all the way to 8 times, Van der Meyde still failed to agree.

Van der Meyde is now the most dazzling member of the younger generation in the Netherlands. He is determined to join a giant at the level of Real Madrid and Milan, and he will never agree to play in the second division of Germany.

He doesn't know how ambitious and capable Edward and Mourinho are. Players who have a little planning for their careers will not play in the Bundesliga for money.

This also proves how bad Van der Vaart's career planning is. It's just a weekly salary of 3 euros and a no-upgrade termination clause. The supernova who has played more than 30 games on behalf of the first team did not hesitate to agree to Edward's request, as long as he gets it done Ajax, the future captain of Ajax, immediately packed his bags and left.

Chivu also nodded and agreed under the same conditions. With a high salary and a considerable signing fee, there is no way to upgrade at that time, and he can directly transfer freely and get a bigger contract. This is a good thing indeed. good.

Some players value money more. Edward likes this kind of player the most. If he is poor, he has money left over. Although the money left by his grandfather is not his, it is better to spend than his money.

If he had already inherited the inheritance, he would really be reluctant to spend his own money on it.

But now that money is still in custody, spending it is like nothing, there is no psychological burden, but it is very cool, just like the game except for bugs, you can buy things in the mall without recharging.

What disappointed Edward was that Maxwell had just transferred to Ajax. Naturally, he would not transfer again in this situation.

Sneijder also accepted Edward's invitation after hearing that his friend Van der Vaart nodded.

Although De Jong rejected Edward, Mourinho himself did not know what he said. Twenty minutes later, the future No. 10 midfielder also agreed to join Union Berlin.

Afterwards, things were very simple. Edward contacted the Ajax club and heard that Edward was planning to pack many players in one go. Ajax attached great importance to it. Although this kind of thing was a bit sudden, it was also a good thing. After the Bosque bill They have been reduced to a star processing factory, and there are no non-sale products at all, so it is not a big deal to sell a few more in one go.

However, Ajax does not agree with the price given by Edward.

Van der Vaart is 200 million, Sneijder is the head, Chivu is 450 million, and De Jong is 20.

This price is actually quite reasonable. After all, van der Vaart moved to Hamburg for only 550 million euros a few years later, mainly because Ajax did not agree with the prices of the last three players. First of all, Chivu moved to Ajax two years ago. They spent 250 million euros on the Dutch giants, and they were going to sell the Romanian for a high price. In addition, Sneijder and De Jong are the most promising players in the youth academy. They only need a little training to sell for several million or more It's all possible, they are unwilling to let Sneijder and De Jong go at a low price.

Under normal circumstances, Edward would of course spend money, but because Ibrahimovic was finalized by Ajax ahead of time, Edward was so angry that he was so penny-pinching. After his manager team flew to the Netherlands, after a week of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement. agreed.

Van der Vaart 200 million euros, Sneijder 60 euros, Chivu 600 million euros, de Jong 40 euros, a total of 900 million, with youth team goalkeeper Stekelenberg.

Edward was stunned when he saw the contract.

Professional manager Gal thought that Edward thought it was too expensive: "The main reason is that you are in a hurry. If you spend more time negotiating, I think you can save at least 70 yuan."

"It's okay, thank you for your hard work."

Where is it too expensive, is it too cheap!

A total of 900 million euros, packing 4 future main players and even core-level players of the giants, this is a robbery!
Edward's heart moved, and he remembered the famous Dutch "Three Sticks Man".

Since it is so cheap, anyway, he wants to pack the Dutch golden generation, and simply let the three stickmen meet in advance in the team.
