road to victory

Chapter 141 Makelele
Saint-Etienne is the most active this time. It is beyond their expectations that a young player can be sold, and they are the league leader, but they still increase the overweight, hoping to get 100 million US dollars.

"Are you kidding me?" This was Fan Shang's first reaction when he got the offer.Vincent thought about it for a while, but he didn't understand what Saint-Etienne was thinking when he made the offer.Fan Shang is definitely not used to problems this time, the procrastinating style of summer is definitely not suitable for the present. "Reject it." Fan Shang asked someone to directly reject the offer.

Regarding Makelele, Vincent has decided to go out in person and Makelele talk.Of course, he had to communicate with Yakai before to see if he could get Shangfang's sword.The communication with Jacquet went smoothly, and Vincent prepared to board the train to Nantes on the grounds that Makelele was injured and went to visit him on behalf of the national team.

Jacques actually knew what Fan Shang meant, but he didn't care. All he cared about was the results of the national team, and as an old Bordeaux, he would like to see his old club get excellent players, so even if he knew Fan Shang He often used his banner to "bluff and deceive" outside, and he didn't complain much about Fan Shang.

During the meeting with Makelele, Vincent understood Makelele's current wishes.Makelele thinks that he is no longer young. Although Nantes has performed well in the league in recent years, there are still not many opportunities to show their faces in European games, so Makelele does not call now and hopes to go to a European team The club that can continue to show up in the game, he was actually a little tempted by Bordeaux's invitation at the end of last season, but after discussing with his agent, he was afraid that Bordeaux would be short-lived, so Nantes finally rejected Bordeaux's offer to him.

"What about now?" Fan Shang knew what was going on when he heard this, "Claude, I am extending an invitation to you again on behalf of Bordeaux." Fan Shang was very straightforward.

"If this is the case, I want to hear about the team's positioning of me and the team's goals in the future." Although Makelele is a brutalist in style, he is very shrewd in mind.

"Your position is the same as you were in Nantes, except that we require a larger coverage of the midfielder." Vincent has a very clear position for Makelele, "Bordeaux's position for itself is even simpler. , we need constant victories, there is no strongest but stronger."

"You also know that we in Bordeaux are now mainly defensive counterattacks, so the midfielder is a very important position. When defending, it needs to be used as a barrier for the defense line, and sometimes even stands in the position of the central defender. In our need When counterattacking, it is often the midfielder who plays the ball." Fan Shang explained carefully, "This position may still be the most thankless position in the game. If you lose the ball, you may complain that you are not in position, the protection is not in place, counterattack It has nothing to do with you to score goals, if you don’t score on the counterattack, it means that the ball is passed uncomfortable during the transition.”

Hearing this, Makelele laughed while nodding, revealing the two rows of big white teeth. He agreed with what Vincent said. The position of the defensive midfielder is so embarrassing now, but he can't live without it.

After Vincent returned to Bordeaux, he sat in the office again and began to work on several transfers.Caen is similar to Saint-Etienne, and they are more active, and they also understand the principle of bargaining and bargaining. They did not flinch because of the high price Bordeaux offered to Bancarel. They began to actively communicate with Bordeaux, hoping Bancrell could be had for a better price.

Waiting is the hardest thing. Fan Shang felt this way in the morning at the hotel the next day. It was fine at first, watching TV and reading newspapers, but as time went by, Fan Shang kept looking out of the window. Look, then put the phone on the table, turn the volume up to the maximum, he was expecting Makelele's attitude, he didn't care even a phone call.

Fan Shang let the two of them into the room, knowing that the one he didn't know was Makelele's manager, and after two hours, the two sent Fan Shang to the train heading south to Bordeaux.

The communication between the two clubs was very effective. In the end, the two teams negotiated the condition that Bancarel was replaced by Gallas, and Vincent selected another player at that time. Jerome Roten, a Vincent in Caen The players found by the youth team.

On the phone, François also told Vincent about another transfer. After being rejected by Vincent, Saint-Etienne contacted Bordeaux and asked about the transfer of Sagnol. Bordeaux is thinking about it, and this time they dropped it to 80 US dollars.

Before returning to Bordeaux, Vincent called François, asking the club to transfer Makelele with Nantes as soon as possible. The 300 million US dollars will be spent on Makelele. Fansan also thinks it is worth it. Yes, but of course we still need to negotiate. If we can save, we can save. Vincent still needs to bring in other players.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a strange white man standing at the door, and next to him was Makelele with a big grin.Fan Shang closed the door again, and opened it again in disbelief.The two people standing at the door looked confused at this moment, they looked at each other and then at Fan Shang.The three looked at each other, and suddenly laughed, which made the waiter passing by cast a strange look here.

Fan Shang also knew what was going on, and he didn't want to force him any more, "Okay, Claude, I have a train ticket back to Bordeaux tomorrow afternoon, and I will stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Nantes." That's all Fan Shang said , and Makelele said goodbye.

Fan Shang finished his lunch in anxiety, started to pack his things, and prepared to go to the train station.At this time, Fan Shang basically had no expectations. The whole morning passed without any news.

Makelele was still a little hesitant before, but after listening to Vincent's words, coupled with Bordeaux's strong performance, his heart has been shaken, but he still needs to be reserved. "This cannot be decided right away, I still need to discuss it with my family."

"Okay, Claude, that's all I've said, now it's your turn." Vincent threw the question to Makelele again.

This time, Fan Shang felt that it would be difficult to talk if he refused again, and then told Francois to communicate with Saint-Etienne, saying that he was not interested in Sagnol now, and the 30 US dollars would be It is the psychological bottom line of Bordeaux now.

Just as Fan Shang was taking his bag and was about to open the door, there was a knock on the door. "Why did someone come to clean up this hotel before checking out?" Fan Shang thought to himself.

Jerome Rothen, if the trajectory is normal, he will shine in Monaco in 2004, and then switch to Paris Saint-Germain. The reason for his transfer is very straightforward. At that time, there were many giants who were optimistic about him. There is nothing wrong with choosing Paris Saint-Germain It means that his childhood dream is to represent Paris Saint-Germain.He sank in this place where he was born, and he didn't show his due strength. Although he played a lot of games, he no longer had the aura he had in Monaco.

Fan Shang felt that Luo Teng definitely had potential, and he was added to the deal to serve as a substitute for Pires. The two of them had the same positions and similar styles, but Fan Shang did not expect that Luo Teng would always be there in the future. Bordeaux, he had already calculated Paris Saint-Germain when he made this deal.

The biggest advantage of this transfer to Bordeaux is that it didn't cost a penny, that is, it solved the way out for the players who were not in Vincent's plan, and obtained two future potential stocks. This is a win-win situation.

Saint-Etienne seems to be very concerned about this transfer. After receiving a reply from Bordeaux, they were not discouraged and continued to recommend Sagnol to Bordeaux. Can loan two Bordeaux players to help the team avoid relegation.

It turned out to be like this, and Vincent figured it out. Saint-Etienne, who are now ranked 16th in the second division, needs someone to help them. At this time, the offer from Bordeaux gave them a glimmer of hope.Vincent asked people to ask Saint-Etienne what positions they needed. If Bordeaux was rich, he would not be stingy. Letting young players go out to exercise is what Vincent hopes to see.
