Chapter 102 From Dalian to London
Just after getting off the plane, Shao Bo received bad news from the club.

Although he saw the information sent by the staff on the plane, Shao Bo is not an exploiter who has been waiting for others.

As a time traveler, one of Shao Bo's advantages is that he knows how well the major players will develop in the future.But he is also prone to aim too high and pursue unrealistic goals. The current failure is an example.

Shao Bo sees that Arsenal's defense needs to be strengthened, but there are not many players who can reach the same level as the five veterans of the defense.After much deliberation, Shao Bo finally turned his mind on Thuram.

Thuram, who is currently in Parma, is doing well, and Cannavaro forms one of Italy's best defensive partners.

In the 90s, football in Serie A was booming, and Parma was also reaching its peak.Several cup championships gave them confidence.

Although Arsenal bought Zola in the winter, firstly Zola himself was interested, and secondly, Parma didn't pay much attention to him.

As a result, although Arsenal made an offer this time, it was directly rejected by Parma.And declare that Thuram is not for sale.

Although all items not for sale can be bought with money.But now the economic bubble in Italy has not burst, and the Parmalat dairy company is not short of money.Arsenal really can't spend money on Parma, and Shao Bo can't afford that much money.

This was just a test. After failing, Shao Bo could only shrug his shoulders and didn't care.Leaving the airport and taking a taxi, he and Thomas were on their way to Dalian Wanda Club.

Before leaving the hotel, as the human embodiment of the system, Shao Bo's current assistant, Thomas had already called the Wanda Club.

Despite being surprised, the other party expressed joy at Shao Bo's upcoming visit.After all, Shao Bo, as the head coach who coached Arsenal to win two important championships, has a different status.Although they want to invite people to Dalian, they are not ready yet.

Unexpectedly, Shao Bo wanted to come here on his own initiative, although the phone revealed that the nature of this time was mainly private.But Wang Wu who answered the phone was ready, and he must ask for an autograph when Shao Bo came.

"Son! Shao Bo is coming." Wang Wudal didn't change his mind, and dialed the phone directly to his friend.

"You can just shoot (brag), it's ridiculous."

……

After getting out of the car, Shao Bo found that several reporters were already waiting at the gate of the club.Frowning slightly, Shao Bo got out of the car.

"Mr. Shao Bo, why did you come to Dalian today?"

"Mr. Shao Bo, are you here to buy someone?"

This Dalian-flavored mandarin comes straight up. Fortunately, Shao Bo has lived in Dalian for a period of time. Shao Bo, who has always paid attention to his own image, maintained a smile and did nothing.

The manager of the club was waiting at the door, and the security guards surrounded the reporters to protect Shao Bo from entering the building.

"I'm really sorry, we didn't expect the media to come. After review, it was the staff who answered the phone who caused the trouble, and I have punished him."

Shao Bo glanced at the man in front of him differently, and waved his hand to show that he didn't care.Too lazy to be polite to the man in front of him, Shao Bo got to the point directly.

"Let's forget about punishment or something. It's not a big deal. In fact, I came here mainly because of one thing."

"Oh? What is it? Mr. Shao Bo should be on vacation recently, right? But the Chinese league is still going on. If you are interested, the club will have an A-A game tomorrow. If you have time, welcome to watch the game. The club will definitely Will provide the best box."

"Haha, thank you, I really want to see it when I have time. But this time, I mainly want to apply to you for a transfer."

"What!" He shivered and wiped the teacup in his hand, almost falling to the ground.

"It's just a transfer application. Sorry for being a bit abrupt. Normally, a letter should be sent first." Shao Bo apologized to the other party.

"No, it's nothing. You've returned to China. It's not a big deal to take a closer look. But this is really something to be happy about. I wonder which of our players Coach Shao Bo has taken a fancy to?"

"Well, I don't say polite words or anything. I am very interested in Sun Jihai of your club. I hope to bring him back to England."

"Sun Jihai?"

As the manager of the club, he will not be unfamiliar with the outstanding players from the club's youth training. He only entered the national team in November 96, and now he has firmly occupied a position.

That's right, in the current club, it seems that Sun Jihai may be favored by Arsenal.Although Wang Tao is not bad, he just quit the national team for some reasons two days ago. Shao Bo is now in China, so it is impossible not to hear some rumors.

"This... Sun Jihai is an important member of our club. I think, but I can't make a decision on my own. So, isn't Coach Shao Bo going to leave China recently? There is a game in Dalian tomorrow. I will Discuss with the coach and others. If you don’t mind, please come over to watch the game tomorrow, and then we will give an answer.”

"Alright, actually I took the liberty, it's my fault."

In fact, Shao Bo had already thought about it, and he was a little impatient.Why do you always call and send a fax to notify the transfer?Just to let everyone have a space to think and relax, so as not to be too embarrassing.

However, this time Shao Bo was also understood to mean that European affairs are so vigorous and resolute, which caused people to misunderstand.

"Actually, we admire the achievements of coach Shao Bo. Although he is young, he has achieved unimaginable results. He is really a young talent!"

"Where, where, I remember last year until now, Dalian seems to have not lost a game, right? It has been unbeaten for so many games, Arsenal can't do this."

The myth of 55 undefeated games in the A-A era was still fresh in the memory of Shao Bo, who was still a child at that time.At this time, I thought of it, so I mentioned a few words.Anyway, if you say a few good words and get closer, can you lower the transfer fee?

Things were pretty much the same, and Shao Bo was invited in the end, and the Dalian club was going to give Shao Bo a clean-up in the evening.

The relationship is not so close, and Shao Bo has not had a chance to play since he came to Dalian, so he declined the dinner.

This matter is not small, and the Dalian team still needs a while to think about it, so they are not forced to stay.Shao Bo left here, but he was not in a hurry to find a hotel.Decided, go play first!
Shao Bo, who has lived here for a long time, is naturally familiar with the road, but the reporters at the door are indeed annoying.Fortunately, the Dalian team arranged a car to send Shao Bo to the city and sent an autograph. Shao Bo and the driver waved goodbye.

Originally, Shao Bo wanted to go to Xinghai Square, but he found out that Xinghai Square was still under construction at this time.The driver also wondered how Shao Bo looked like a local. Shao Bo, who is not well-known in Xinghai Square, could think of it.

It's a bit far to go to Jinshitan. After all, I promised the other party the next day, and I have to watch the training and competition by the way.

Forget it, Shao Bo simply wandered around the street food stalls near Dalian Railway Station and Victory Square.Anyway, Shao Bo's belly was full after eating skewers and seafood.

"Hey, take some oysters..."

With draft beer, Shao Bo and Thomas sat around a small table.It's a pity that Thomas eats only to ensure the energy for his usual activities, and he doesn't move his chopsticks after he's full.Shao Bo was the only one sitting there enjoying himself.

"Eating seafood and drinking beer is not good for your health," Thomas reminded.

"It's okay, I only eat it once, and I don't eat it often."

Although Thomas was quite boring, he looked at the noisy sound of drinking and calling nearby, and looked at the indelible stain on the ground.Shao Bo felt a kindness for a while, which was a kindness that he could not feel in the imperial capital.

Because of inexplicable fear, Shao Bo did not stay in his hometown for one night, but in Dalian, he also felt like returning to his hometown.This is not only because the meat skewers are full of oil in the mouth, and the delicious beer makes the body and mind refreshed.But a kind of freedom, casual.

So, despite Thomas being extremely uncooperative.Shao Bo wiped out a plate of edamame, peanuts, several cups of draft beer, and a series of food by himself, leaving only mess on the floor.

The next day, Shao Bo woke up from Thomas' continuous beeping beatboxing.Thomas, who strictly abides by the Greenwich Mean Time, never makes any mistakes, and does not allow Shao Bo to be late because of snooze.

There was no other way, so I packed up and took a taxi to the stadium.Interestingly, maybe Shao Bo is still too popular, or his life is too casual.

Except for yesterday when a group of reporters surrounded the club entrance, no one recognized Shao Bo.However, Shao Bo thinks that this is still a problem of too little fame. If it is Xiao Ming, no matter which Xiao Ming it is, he will be recognized at a glance and surrounded by strong crowds.

Arrive at the club early and it's easy to come across as arrogant if you're late.It is also good to be in advance, Shao Bo met Sun Jihai who had been looking forward to.

It seems that the entire Dalian team has already known about Shao Bo's arrival, and they are all waiting for him in the locker room.After the meeting, although they should have seen Shao Bo on TV, they were still surprised at how young he was.

Shao Bo was surprised that he could be invited into the dressing room, after all, there has never been such a precedent in Britain.But thinking that this is in China, Shao Bo is relieved. Maybe this is the club wanting to use this to motivate the players?
However, the game was about to start, so Shao Bo couldn't say anything.So I encouraged them in the locker room, looking forward to their victory, and then watched the whole game with the club manager in the box.

Although the Dalian team won, this is not what Shao Bo cares about.

After the match, Shao Bo waited in the reception room for a while, and finally met the right lord, Sun Jihai.

After the meeting, Shao Bo didn't talk nonsense, and simply expressed his hope that Sun Jihai could join Arsenal.

Although he had learned from the manager a long time ago, seeing Shao Bo say this with his own eyes, Sun Jihai still felt hit by happiness.

"Do you know? Although the head coach is in charge of transfers, most of them don't require me to make a trip in person. It seems that Zola was the player I personally invited last time."

Directly moving out big-name stars, let Sun Jihai know that if he comes to Arsenal, he will have the opportunity to compete with many world-class players who used to be admired only in front of the TV.

After a brief conversation, after leaving the reception room, the smile on the corner of Shao Bo's mouth indicated that Sun Jihai had agreed to transfer.

Of course, Shao Bo told him directly that even if Sun Jihai is at Arsenal now, he can only accept the substitute position for the time being.This is quite different from the treatment of his club and national team's double main players.

However, although the weekly salary given by Arsenal is not much, it has already exceeded the domestic level.

The weekly salary of 3000 pounds is nothing in the eyes of later generations, and even in the team, it is the lowest one.But after being converted into RMB, it is equivalent to an annual salary of 150 million.For Sun Jihai, who is only 20 years old, this is not too small.

What Sun Jihai cared about was not the amount of salary. Although Britain gave more, but the price was more expensive, he still knew this in his heart. In comparison, Dalian gave better benefits.

But what he pays more attention to is the opportunity to play in the world's top football circle.If he can really join the Premier League, then he will be the second among Chinese footballers today!

The first is of course Shao Bo as a coach, but it is a pity that Shao Bo's current nationality is British, so he cannot be regarded as a pure Chinese.

This is all a system problem. If Shao Bo is assigned Chinese nationality, what kind of identity should he be given?It's too difficult, so don't worry about it.

Moreover, although Shao Bo could be regarded as a British Chinese, after a period of conversation, Sun Jihai found that Shao Bo was actually easy to get along with.

Shao Bo also promised that both he and the club will help him live in London.

"Can you cook? We can do it together when we have time. I don't recommend those dark dishes in the UK, and there are basically few authentic ones in Chinatown. But don't worry, the club will give you a comprehensive physical examination and there will be a set For personal dietary recommendations, there are not many opportunities to eat casually. I will try my best to arrange something that suits your taste, but as an athlete, sometimes you have to sacrifice your tongue for the sake of your body, I hope you can understand."

Although I don't quite understand why there are professional diets, but this is a European specialty, right?Unknown.I don't know how serious it is.Sun Jihai nodded while listening.

……

"Since there is no problem, then the next step is to negotiate with the club. Play this season well, and the procedures have been completed. It will be winter. I look forward to your joining."

Finally, Shao Bo smiled and shook hands with Sun Jihai to say goodbye.

After negotiating with the players, Shao Bo had dinner with the club's manager.In fact, the normal transfer steps are to ask the club for a price first, and then ask the player after both parties have accepted a price.

However, Shao Bo did not play his cards according to common sense, and the Dalian Club did not respond according to common sense.

This is because Chinese football has not been professionalized for a few years, and their experience is not yet rich. Second, Sun Jihai is one of the most important players in the club. The Dalian team simply got his own opinion before discussing the transfer fee with Shao Bo.

In fact, the Dalian team doesn't care how much the transfer fee is.Sun Jihai is indeed good, but can he still sell for 2000 million pounds?Ronaldo is not so expensive now!
If the money is not much, the Wanda Group, which has a background in real estate, doesn't care.Now they are more concerned about the chance of contact with Arsenal.

In the past, for this kind of European champions, even if they paid someone to play a commercial game, the opponent had to consider whether it would affect the team's preparations for the new season.

This time I have the opportunity to have direct contact with Shao Bo, why not sell my favor.Let Sun Jihai join the Premier League smoothly, and then the Dalian team became the first club in China to send players to the top European leagues.

This has too many potential benefits to the club, not to mention anything else, the Football Association will definitely take a higher look at the club, and there will never be less advertisements, sponsorships and the like.

The negotiation went very smoothly. Shao Bo basically negotiated a general contract while having dinner with the other party.

The Dalian team didn't even ask for a penny for the transfer fee, which surprised Shao Bo a little.Back then, Newcastle and Crystal Palace spent a long time with the Dalian team because of this problem, and Sun Jihai almost didn't go to Europe because of this.

But after thinking about it, he understood that the current Sun Jihai is not like a few years later, whether it is the club or the national team, his status is more important.At least for now, he is not the best player in China.

Moreover, in terms of attractiveness and influence, the Crystal Palace in the British Championship and the European champion Arsenal are completely incomparable.Not to mention the transfer fee, even if it is paid back, I am afraid that the Dalian team will be willing.

Free does not mean poor quality, but Shao Bo still accepted it with a smile.It would be best if it could be saved. David Dane already has a plan to build a training base.Although the place has not been found yet, Shao Bo has already named it "Kearney Training Base".

After staying for another two days, Shao Bo flew back to London directly from Dalian after finishing the matter.During the vacation, Shao Bo was actually not idle, but it was worthwhile as a "vacation".

　Ever thought of "From New York to BJ's"?This time it's a big chapter of almost [-] words. After reading the Champions League, I couldn't sleep at all, so I coded it out for everyone. For the sake of my hard work, I beg my dear ticket.A bit dragging the plot, huh?Back to London.It's raining, it's cold, and I haven't eaten yet.Fortunately, there is no class in the morning, and I will continue to code after class in the afternoon.
