Football God.

Heinrich said this sentence in a very ordinary way, as simple as discussing today's weather.

But to Eric's ears, it was like a thunderbolt!

In fact, in Eric's opinion, he didn't really think that Griezmann had any future.When Griezmann was in the Real Sociedad B team, Eric didn't pay much attention to this kid. He just signed a young player first, and didn't consider the extras.

If Eric can communicate up and down early, relying on Griezmann's ability and the support of Mr. Olhert, the director of Real Sociedad at the time, it is actually not difficult to enter the first team.

But Eric didn't make that trip. In other words, he just wanted to get some salary share from Griezmann.

Heinrich thanked the agent for his greed for money. When Griezmann took away Griezmann from the Real Sociedad's second-tier team, he gave Eric a sum of money. The hush money given to him also allowed Heinrich to easily bring Griezmann.

But now Eric is standing on the opposite side of Heinrich. Heinrich, who knows Eric's money-greedy nature deeply, is usually very talkative. not a problem.

But Eric still turned against each other, so naturally he will not be soft!

There are many agents in the club who bargain with themselves. Sneijder's agent started a tug-of-war with the club for a full week because of the weekly salary issue. The Bundesliga secretly communicated the music, and even Mendes fought with Leeds United's transfer department for several hours in order to protect Diego's rights.

Heinrich will not interfere with these things, the salary increase that should be raised, the persuasion that should be persuaded, some of them are done according to the rules, and Heinrich will not affect the normal working status of the agent because of his own reasons.

But everything must be in moderation, Heinrich is still smiling, his voice is lowered, and a string of French utterances are like flowing wine in people's ears: "Greed is the root of many disasters, and the greedy will eventually die." Penniless."

These two sentences are written in the family motto of the Heinrich family. Heinrich has memorized them in his head since he was a child, engraved them on his bones, and melted them into his blood.

It's a pity that Eric didn't understand Heinrich's admonition to him, and he was furious.

Joining Eric can now let go, or give in and say a few good words. Heinrich doesn't mind lightly uncovering this matter.

As Heinrich has always said, a money-greedy economic man is often easy to control, and everything is easy to talk about when he has money.However, Eric was not prepared to leave a way out for himself.

"Adrian Heinrich! You have no right to fire me instead of Anthony!"

Mr. Byron couldn't understand a series of yells in French, but he could hear the malice in them just from the tone.

Frowning fiercely, Mr. Byron slapped the table and stood up suddenly, yelling at the phone: "Shut your mouth, hell, take your money and get out, sooner or later you will know what you gave up today What!"

Heinrich smiled and patted Mr. Byron's arm. He tapped the touch screen of the phone with his finger and made a "Koko" sound. The voice was the same as always: "Anthony will be brilliant in the end, but unfortunately, it has nothing to do with you .”

After finishing speaking, Heinrich hung up the phone directly, and then put the phone back in Mr. Byron's hand.

Heinrich's attitude of clearly standing on his side made Mr. Byron a lot of relieved, but after he got angry and relieved, Mr. Byron began to worry: "Sir, what if he doesn't want to terminate the contract? "

"Whether the contract is terminated or not, the initiative is always in the hands of the players, unless they are signed a slave contract." Heinrich was about to pick up the receiver on the table as he spoke, but immediately he looked at Mr. Byron, " Why don't you have any questions?"

Mr. Byron was sitting on the chair and taking a deep breath, then reached out to the cookie, and looked at Heinrich in puzzlement when he heard what he said: "What are you asking?"

"Is Anthony really going to fire Eric?"

Mr. Byron curled his lips when he heard this, knocked the cookie on the plate, and didn't answer directly, but just nodded, indicating that this is indeed a problem.

But in his heart, Mr. Byron was thinking, fire the manager?Who doesn't know that Griezmann likes you so much that he almost hugged your leg and called him dad!

Don't talk about Eric, even if you let Griezmann be the goalkeeper now, he will think that you are right, well done, and beautifully done!

This kind of problem is not a problem at all!

But at this moment, Heinrich's first thing was not to call Griezmann, but to call the club's spokesperson.

Resigning an agent is easy to say, but in fact there are many other things that need to be done.

The first thing to consider is whether this person will take the opportunity to bite back and make the club suffer.

The current media is no different from ten years ago. What they like to report is negative news and gossip. For the sake of sales, journalists can sell their consciences.

Even if Heinrich is not afraid of these, if it affects Griezmann's state, the loss will not be worth the loss, and the club will naturally have to make all preparations for this.

After that, Heinrich called Mendez.

At this time, Mendes was discussing with Mourinho about the ownership of Tevez, who was put up for sale by Manchester United. When the phone rang, Mourinho glanced at it and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that your little coach likes to be in I'll call you in front of me."

Mendes smiled helplessly. After all, he has the best personal relationship with Mourinho, and he has been in contact with a lot recently, so there are naturally many corresponding coincidences.

Wanting to avoid Mourinho, but was held down by Mourinho, Mendes had no choice but to connect directly to the phone: "Good afternoon, dear Adrian, can I help you?" ?”

Heinrich didn't tell him the twists and turns this time, but said straightforwardly: "Jorge, what do you think of Antoine Griezmann?"

Mendez sat up straight, his eyes lit up.

The last time Heinrich asked himself this question, he later told him that he could try to squeeze out Griezmann's original agent. After all, the Frenchman seemed restless, but it's a pity that Mendes' matter is indeed a bit extra It was too difficult to deal with Eric, so he had to put this matter on the back burner.

Now that Heinrich brought up the old matter again, Mendes' first reaction was——

There is one more cash cow!

Heinrich felt that Mendes had been silent, so he simply spoke directly: "My patience with his agent, Mr. Eric, has reached the limit. Immediately, Griezmann will become a player without an agent. Erg you can secure your exclusive contract with Griezmann, then he is your player."

This sentence is very straightforward, but the conditions are also very clear.

As the number one agent in Portugal, Mendes has never been fighting alone. He has his own company, which also has many small agents in Portugal, as well as a fixed brokerage team and public relations team.

Agents are responsible for all aspects of a player, from taxation, life to public opinion, they have to take care of it. After all, many things involve a player's potential commercial value and competitive level.

As the owner of the company and the biggest agent, Mendes doesn't really have many players who can be signed by him personally.

Once he becomes a player personally signed by Mendes, he can naturally enjoy the best resources and the best treatment.

Mendes was choked, and smiled helplessly: "Adrian, how do you know?"

Heinrich replied with a smile: "As long as I want to know, I can know."

...Well, I really don't understand the world of the rich second generation.

No longer obsessed with this fluffy little problem, Mendes, who originally valued Griezmann, naturally had no objection to this, and simply answered: "Of course, if I can have Anthony, he will be treated very well. .”

No matter how specific Heinrich was, Heinrich would not ask any more questions. Heinrich had trusted Mendes from the day he decided to become his agent, and it was not Heinrich's style to doubt this and that all day long.

Without any more greetings, the two hung up the phone, and the smile on Mendes' face couldn't stop.

Mourinho couldn't hear what Heinrich said opposite, but he could guess some clues from Mendes' answer.

He knocked on the coffee cup in front of Mendes with a silver spoon expressionlessly: "It seems that Antoine Griezmann is under your banner."

Mendes did not deny that Fangzheng's matter is not a secret. He raised his chin with a smile and said, "In fact, it all depends on Anthony's own opinion." But in fact Mendes also knew that as long as Griezmann let go, this matter Things are already [-]% sure.

Originally, Mourinho's Inter Milan was also one of Griezmann's competitors. In his expectation, Griezmann and Manchester United's Carlos Tevez would choose one of the two, but now, Mourinho is resolute. Griezmann crossed out from the list.

He bought Griezmann really because he wanted to buy a substitute, at least a rotation substitute. Although it seems that there are many opportunities to play, he is not the main force.In Mourinho's view, Griezmann is too young and inexperienced. It may be useful in the rampage of the Premier League, but in Serie A, in addition to speed, Griezmann needs more. workout.

But now Mendes is his agent, and no one knows Mendes better than Mourinho. He absolutely does not allow his players to sit on the bench, and the deal is basically lost.

If I can't get it, neither can Manchester United and Real Madrid. Thinking about it like this, Mourinho feels a lot more balanced.

"Tevez, I want to know all his information." Without hesitation, Mourinho decided to focus on the Argentine who was listed by the Red Devils.

Mendes smiled. After having Griezmann, the Portuguese felt that he was going to take off happily, so he seemed very talkative.

But when Mourinho said "I'm hungry, you go cook", Mendes could only sigh up to the sky.

Helping to sign a contract, helping to find information, and now helping to cook, this is life...

===

Griezmann's mobile phone on the sidelines of the training field rang, but it was not Heinrich's call, but his agent, Eric.

Griezmann is generally satisfied with Eric. Although the young French teenager has not yet had a serious personal endorsement contract, this is not what Griezmann values. On the contrary, he is very happy. Ke didn't bother himself with those messy things.

What the young French star wants now is not money, maybe he will hope to earn more in the future, but this is not what he thinks now.

What Griezmann wants has always been the appreciation of Mr. Heinrich, especially after Jack has secured his position in the first team, Griezmann's idea is even stronger!

Heinrich was the first person who said to him "you will become a top star". He took Griezmann step by step to the present. Inrich knew that he did not make a mistake in choosing himself, he was excellent, and could be even better!

In this case, a quiet and insignificant agent seems to be satisfactory.

So when Griezmann answered the phone, there was a lively smile of a young man in his voice: "Eric, what's the matter?"

Eric tried his best to look normal. He is not stupid. On the contrary, many greedy people always have a clever mind. Moreover, Griezmann is praised by thousands of people on the football field, but in fact he is only 17 years old.

What's wrong with a 17-year-old kid?

"Anthony, I am very disappointed with the club. What they have done is too much." Eric's voice was full of sighs, and it sounded like an elder caring for the younger generation, "I am for your contribution to them Proud, but obviously they don't want to give you the same in return."

Griezmann heard something was wrong. He blinked, walked into the physical therapist behind the locker room and closed the door, and then said: "What happened? Mr. Eric, please explain clearly, I don't understand."

There was silence on the other side for two seconds, and Eric's voice came over: "I think the club has asked for a salary increase, and I told you about it before."

"Well, [-] after tax, the same as Lewandowski."

"But the club disagrees! God, you haven't seen how determined their attitude is, just denying your role to the club. Fifty thousand, is it a lot?"

Eric lied to Griezmann, but he didn't think it was cheating. Instead, he took his lie as a performance of being responsible for Griezmann.

Griezmann trusts Heinrich too much, and it is almost impossible to get him to leave Leeds United.

So Eric can only start with things that some players value, such as weekly salary and what it reflects.

Eric is very confident. After all, Griezmann is not his first player. Eric is still very clear about the player's psychology.

The weekly salary represents the importance attached to the club. When Griezmann knew that he only wanted to mention [-] after tax but was denied, he would definitely be angry and feel sad and wronged. He would naturally be very disappointed with the club. .

When the time comes, I take the opportunity to tell him that other clubs are interested in him, and then get all the decision-making power on his transfer from Griezmann, everything will seem logical!

As for the future, will this little trick about my weekly salary be exposed?

So what if it's revealed, the player is already in a wealthy club, and he hasn't cheated on him, so he has no reason to terminate his contract at all!

This is a common tactic used by many agents. Many players and clubs and even coaches have a bad relationship, which is caused by this, but in the end it is the head coach or player who is responsible. .

A well-known routine, but there is no handle.

But after Griezmann knew about this, his first reaction was to ask: "Have you talked to Heinrich?"

Eric's heart tightened, and he subconsciously wondered if it was Heinrich who told Griezmann everything first, but immediately he was relieved, and he called Griezmann as soon as he hung up the phone. The mobile phone will never be preempted, so Eric replied calmly: "Yes, we talked, but Mr. Heinrich still rejected my proposal."

Griezmann pursed his lips and said nothing.

Eric felt that now was the time to chase after the victory, so he immediately said in a tone that sounded caring but actually coaxing: "Now the club is not interested in you, Anthony, how many players are there in the frontcourt of Leeds United? Why don't you add other players?" choose……"

"You said, the boss doesn't want me anymore?!"

Eric was taken aback, isn't that the point?Shouldn't you be asking which rich family I want to take you to!

But before Eric could ask, Griezmann put the phone away, put it in his pocket, and ran towards Heinrich's office!

When he pushed open the door of Heinrich's office, the three people in the room were still discussing Griezmann's issue. After all, Griezmann couldn't just hang around like this after Eric left. It is necessary to have other brokers take over.

Even if the final decision is made by Griezmann himself, according to the consistent temper of French children, Heinrich's suggestion is very important.

"boom!"

The sound made Heinrich look up in astonishment, and at a glance he saw Griezmann standing there with one hand propped on the door panel panting heavily.

The French winger, who was supposed to be in training, was now wearing a test suit that he would only wear during training. A small black vest that could only cover his chest was put on the outside of the training short sleeves, and it was tightly attached to his body, allowing him to Griezmann's pectoral muscles are taut, making his chest rise and fall uncomfortably obvious now when he gasps for breath.

Heinrich stood up, blinked his eyes, and asked with some doubts: "Did someone call you over?" It was obvious that he wanted to discuss it and called Griezmann. How could this kid run away by himself? coming?

Griezmann looked at Heinrich, took a deep breath, strode towards Heinrich, and stood in front of his boss.

From the perspective of personality, Griezmann is not the kind of very cheerful and lively young man. He does not lack the inherent romance of the French, but he is somewhat introverted in comparison.

If it was changed to other things, Griezmann might solve it in other ways, but this time the blond boy chose not to avoid the problem, nor to hide it. He mustered up the courage to walk over, looked up at Heinrich, and Said in a word:

"Boss, I don't want to raise my salary anymore. Fifty thousand a week is indeed a bit much. I don't want it anymore. Now forty thousand a week is actually pretty good."

Heinrich froze for a moment: "What did you say?"

Griezmann clenched his fist and put it on his side, straightened his body, and said the most firm expectation in his heart: "Boss, I will never transfer, absolutely!"
