Chapter 140 Future Plans
After Emily fell asleep, Fan Shang and Papin finally sat down, and Fan Shang was about to start talking with Papan about his future.

"Pierre, I'm very happy today, but there are some things I want to discuss with you." Vincent spoke first. At this time, Florence served two cups of coffee, and then she knew that the two of them were going to get down to business, so she walked away.

"Well, boss, tell me." Papan also wanted to hear what Fan Shang wanted to tell him.

Fan Shang didn't hesitate, and got to the point, "Pierre, you are 33 years old now, and you will be 34 soon. Do you have any plans for the future?"

"Plan?" Papan was a little unclear at this time. So, he is now ushering in the second spring of his career, so he just wants to enjoy the present, and really has not considered his future. "To be honest, boss, I just want to show my energy and contribute to the team. I really haven't thought about any plan."

"Pierre, if you're 24 now, you're 30. I think it's okay to say that, but you're already a veteran who is about to retire," Fan Shang explained, "How old can you play until? 37? 40? 45? How should your life go after retirement?"

For Fan Shang's series of questions, Papan was still a little stunned, he really hadn't thought about it, it was a bit embarrassing for him to think about it.

"Okay, Pierre, if you have no opinion, can you listen to my opinion?" Vincent came to the point.

Papan nodded, since he hadn't thought about it, there's nothing wrong with listening to the head coach's plan. "Pierre, if your form can continue, I hope you can play until 2000. If you feel that your body is not good enough, then you will retire after we host the World Cup in 98 at the earliest."

At this moment, Papin began to lower his head to think, and it took several minutes to raise his head, "Boss, you are right, if I can maintain the current state, it is a good choice to retire at the age of 2000 in 37, if there is something in the middle What happened, I will consider ending my career in two years, but this has nothing to do with the World Cup, and the current head coach of the national team, Mr. Jacquet, doesn’t seem to like my style very much.”

"Of course not." Papan spread his hands
Fan Shang smiled, "Then listen to me, I think you should continue to stay in this industry, but not to do commentary, I think the position of coach is more suitable for you, you should start as an assistant coach. Take courses and study on the ground, so that when you are familiar with the coaching position, you will have the qualifications to coach a team."

"What? Like Platini, well, I admit that Platini is really c*****'s guest commentator now, but you really don't know this French superstar, it's useless for you to have been teammate of the national team , His ambition is not here, he is definitely someone who wants to be a boss, how do you compare yourself to him?" Of course, these are just what Fan Shang said in his heart, and he is not ashamed to say it out, after all, they are all in the same circle. It would be bad if it really reached Platini's ears.

"By the way, that little girl asked me to watch her graduation performance, when did she come?" Fan Shang suddenly realized that he had forgotten such an important thing.At this time, Fan Shang finally remembered, it seemed that they had left phone numbers on each other's hands, but Fan Shang's memory was too bad, and he washed it off when washing his hands, what's wrong?Do you want to find someone to ask when the Paris Academy of Drama holds its graduation exhibition this year?Next time when we come to Paris, we should take the time to go to their school to look for it. Thinking of this, Fan Shang is still a little excited.

"Only these, nothing specific?" Fan Shang deliberately asked Papan.

"I don't know about this." Papan was also surprised by Vincent's invitation, "I think I need to discuss it with Florence."

Papin listened carefully to what Fan Shang said, and on the stairs, Florence sat where the two of them could not see and was also listening to their conversation.

"You always expose me like this, but I will definitely take action," Fan Shang coughed, and then changed the subject, "Leave that aside, today we are mainly talking about your problems after retirement."

Fan Shang thought about it. He felt that it would be a bit disadvantageous to replace Bancarel directly with Gallas. Although Bancarel has no place in Bordeaux now, he is also a famous player in Ligue [-]. He was also an important player for the UEFA Cup last year. One of the rotations, and now it is difficult for Gallas to be a substitute in Caen, Caen must pay something.

After Christmas, Vincent and François are about to start another round of transfer battles. Before New Year's Day, Bordeaux has announced a deal with Charruto, Malouda, Frey and Zebina. People are also ready to pack up and go to their destinations.

"Fan Shang, you always say that, but after all, the head coach of the national team is still Mr. Jacques." Papan smiled, Fan Shang's fooling this time did not work, yes, once or twice is okay, more times May not work.

Picking up the phone, Vincent called François and asked if Caen had offered a price to Bancarrel. Francois gave an affirmative answer, but it was just a simple inquiry without giving a specific price.

Papin frowned and thought for a while, "I don't want to leave football, maybe I will be a coach like you and Roger, maybe I will be a commentator like Platini."

"Don't worry about this. You have me and Roger supporting you in the coaching staff of the national team. If the time comes, I will recommend you to Aimee. But at least before the World Cup, you must maintain your condition , Our team still has a lot of exposure, so your performance will be seen in Aimee’s eyes.” Fan Shang has always been the one who speaks about his work as an assistant coach in the national team, but Papin’s performance this season is absolutely Those who can be selected for the national team are now third in the scorer list, and they have a strong appeal.Fan Shang really wanted to persuade Yakai to give Papan a chance.

"Of course, I'm just putting forward my idea. As for whether you agree or not, that's up to you to decide." Fan Shang took a sip of coffee, "However, Pierre, the first career planning period of your life is coming to an end soon." Now, let’s make the second career plan as soon as possible, this is very important to you, Florence, and Emily.”

That's all Fan Shang said, he looked at his watch. "Today is really happy, and I also want such a warm home." Fan Shang was both happy and a little disappointed.He got up and was about to leave, at this time Florence also came out to see Vincent off, "Thank you for today's dinner, take a good rest, Pierre, the team needs you, you must return to the top!"

"I think you can start as an assistant coach, for example, my assistant coach." Fan Shang went halfway around the world and finally said the core issue of today. He just wanted Papan to be his assistant after retirement. coach.

Afterwards, Fan Shang bid farewell to the two and returned to his hut alone.Fan Shang now meets quite a few girls, especially the one named Eva Green whom he met in Nice a few months ago.However, since he still needs to consolidate his position in the circle, he hasn't been distracted by these things yet.

After the festival, the first transfer news Vincent received was from Bancarel, who had made up his mind to go. His agent found Caen as his next home.Caen?Fan Shang picked up the signing list next to him, saw the name of the club, and then went forward to find the name of the player. It turned out to be Gallas. Very good, it's an equivalent exchange.

Bancarel's worth is about 100 million U.S. dollars, and Gallas's current estimate of him will definitely not exceed 80 U.S. dollars.Vincent's current price for Caen is 200 million U.S. dollars, which is definitely a high price, but he didn't allow Caen to bargain.Afterwards, Fan Shang looked through Caen's roster again. From the first team to the youth training players, Fan Shang finally found a name that he felt familiar. Condition.

For Sagnol, Bordeaux directly quoted a price of 50 US dollars, a rotation player in Ligue [-]. This price is already based on the face of Saint-Etienne as a veteran team.

Of course Fan Shang had to quote a price to Makelele, but this was definitely an impossible price. Fan Shang had to find another striker and midfielder.

It is difficult to have a certain strength and a suitable price.
