Chapter 270 Zhang Yang's Anger
Gagliani was in a bad mood. No matter what, he was unwilling to sell Zhang Yang. However, as the general manager of AC Milan Club and vice chairman of the club, Gagliani also knew the current economic situation of the team. He knew that the team's current financial difficulties were difficult. In fact, the entire Europe and the entire Serie A team were not very good.
Especially the teams in the Serie A. The teams in the Serie A have no home stadiums, and they need to rent the stadium from the government. The ownership of the San Siro Stadium used by Milan and Inter Milan belongs to the Milan municipal government. Every season, Milan needs to pay a considerable rent to the municipal government.
Without its own stadium, this also greatly restricts the team's development. Look at Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid and other teams, especially Manchester United, have always been leading in market development. The giants in the Serie A are not doing well enough. Of course, this is also related to the overheaval of Italy's tax rate. Italy's tax rate is also the heaviest in the entire five major leagues. The overheaval of the tax rate has made all giants, including AC Milan, overwhelmed.
Therefore, Milan must not be moved when facing Manchester City's high-priced purchases.
However, even though Galliani was an old fox and had a thick-skinned face, he knew that this was difficult. If he couldn't do it well, he and AC Milan Club would turn against Zhang Yang. This was a complete breakup.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Zhang Yang felt that he was able to accept Manchester City's sincerity, which was one thing, but without his knowledge, the club decided his fate, which was another thing.
After AC Milan has made a decision, let’s take a look at the situation on Zhang Yang.
At this time, in Shanghai.
Zhang Yang and Mendes were still communicating. For some reason, after making a decision in their hearts, Zhang Yang felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that he was betrayal of Milan, especially for Milan fans. He felt that he had just left like this. Although he also had a reason to leave, he always felt a little sorry for the fans.
Zhang Yang said to Mendes, "Jorge, do you think I am a betrayal?"
Mendes sneered and said, "Betrayal? Why do you think so? In football, transfer is really normal for the players. If you follow your logic, then Ronaldo played in Barcelona. Later, he transferred from Inter Milan to Barcelona's arch-rival Real Madrid, and later from Real Madrid to Inter Milan's arch-rival AC Milan, where he once played for. Then the fans must hate him to death, and they hate him to kill him?" Before Zhang Yang could speak, Mendes said
"Zhang, in the football world, fans may still be angry about the departure of the stars they like, but they have begun to slowly adapt to this behavior. Moreover, you ask yourself that during your time at AC Milan, your performance, your efforts, your goals, and your attitude, no matter what, are worthy of the cheers and applause from the fans. Now, you just chose to leave for some reason, and for you, you have not betrayed anyone."
Zhang Yang nodded, and he continued, "Although I say that, I always feel a little uncomfortable. Therefore, I will not say a word in the negotiations between Manchester City and AC Milan, nor will I participate in it. Manchester City should not want to use my attitude to put pressure on Milan. Before the transfer is reached, I am still a Milan player and will not do anything to lose the interests of the team."
Mendes sighed and said, "I know, you transferred from Marseille to AC Milan, and that's the same way. To be honest, there are not many players like you in the football world now. In order to seek high salaries for themselves in the new club, they usually put pressure on their current team to reduce the transfer fee, and then they can be eligible to ask for more salaries from their new club."
"They are them, I am me!" Zhang Yang said bluntly, "As long as I am still wearing a club's jersey, I will not do anything that harms the interests of the team. This is my code of conduct. What I hope is to get apart with the original team." Zhang Yang said with some emotion, "After all, I have given my sweat and feelings for that jersey, and I have enjoyed the cheers from wearing this team's jersey. I have enjoyed the glory brought by wearing this team's jersey. This is a kind of fate, and I will cherish it very much."
Mendes nodded, "I don't understand the fate you said very well, but I agree with what you said. To be honest, I am always upset about you now. The media have been talking about you and criticizing your personality. But have they ever known that this player they criticize every day has this precious quality like a pearl."
At this time, Mendes' phone rang. He said sorry to Zhang Yang, and then walked outside the living room to answer the phone.
Zhang Yang walked in front of the windowsill and looked at the night view outside the window. Once he made a decision in his heart, after feeling relieved, he seemed to have more melancholy, not because of his concern for his future, but because of his nostalgia for his past. He knew that maybe soon, he would draw a line with his past, which was a dividing line.
At this moment, Mendes, who answered the phone, walked back, his expression a little strange.
Mendes looked at Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang also looked at Mendes.
"What's wrong, Jorge, your expression is very interesting." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Mendes' expression was still very wonderful. He shrugged at Zhang Yang and said, "The one who called me just now was Mr. Galliani."
"What did he do when he calls?" Zhang Yang asked.
"The Vice-Chairman asked me where I am now and whether I am still in Switzerland. He hopes that I will take time to meet him as soon as possible and have a meeting," Mendes said.
Zhang Yang asked in confusion, "What does the club mean? Are they willing to restart the negotiations with me?" Zhang Yang thought that this should be the case. This idea even made Zhang Yang, who had just made the decision, feel a little guilty. Perhaps the team also attaches great importance to him. He even went to YY. If the club really gave him the same status as Kaka, he agreed to the five million euros in terms of salary. Should he stay in Milan? After all, he really has feelings for Milan.
However, Mendes' next words changed Zhang Yang's face, "Mr. Galliani said that he hopes to meet with me as soon as possible to hold talks about your purchase by Manchester City club."
Zhang Yang was stunned, 'Contacts on Manchester City's purchases'? What does this mean? He did not ask the club to transfer to Manchester City. After all, it is just an intention now. He also said that he would not participate in the transfer operation.
Zhang Yang understood a little, his face became ugly, and at this time, Mendes continued, "Mr. Galliani said that the Milan club is already considering that they will hold talks with Manchester City club about your purchase. If the bid of Manchester City club meets their request, they will agree to the purchase. So, they asked us for our opinion and if the agreement is made there, we will accept the transfer request."
The faces on Zhang Yang's face changed one after another. He finally fully understood that the Milan club meant that they had started to contact Manchester City, or it could be said that they were ready to sell themselves to Manchester City. As long as Manchester City's bid satisfies them, they would sell themselves!
All of this is based on their complete lack of knowledge, and they did not even ask for their own opinions at all, and they decided their own destiny in this way.
Although Zhang Yang had some contact with Manchester City, it was not right, but between the club and the players, players are natural weak people, and their interests are the most vulnerable to damage.
Without communicating with Zhang Yang at all, the Milan club was preparing to sell Zhang Yang to Manchester City. And as they looked at the meaning, they seemed to have to talk to Zhang Yang. Once the offer from Manchester City over there satisfies them, they would persuade Zhang Yang to accept the fate of going to Manchester City, saying it was persuasion, or even a disguised forced.
Zhang Yang was angry and roared, "Discussion? What a nonsense! They have made a decision and have a nonsense with me. Judging from this situation, as long as the price of Manchester City people satisfy them, I can't go if I don't go to Manchester City. I have to go."
Zhang Yang was angry that he was willing to go to Manchester City and was sold by the club without his knowledge. These are two different things.
He felt the feeling of betrayal!
Until now, I still regard myself as a Milan player and do things without damaging the interests of the team. However, have I considered my own interests there? Everyone knows that Manchester City is not famous and has not had enough strength. There is no real big-name star in such a club. In fact, this is true. Zhang Yang is also disdainful of Manchester City. If he had not been persuaded by the words of Manchester City club chairman Alfaim, he would not have looked at the club at all!
Therefore, the Milan Club's behavior did not take into account the interests of Zhang Yang at all. In fact, during their meeting, they only talked about whether Zhang Yang will be sold and the acceptable transfer fee range. The entire process did not talk about Zhang Yang's personal feelings, and did not mention whether Zhang Yang himself would accept the transfer. It was only at the end that Berlusconi ordered Galliani to communicate with Zhang Yang. This was the comfort after the decision had been made? To be precise, even comfort was not considered, because, this was to use all methods to force Zhang Yang to accept the transfer when everything was determined.
Therefore, the more you think clearly, the more angry Zhang Yang is.
"Zhang, what did you say just now?" Mendes asked, also very angry. He had reason to express his anger when his players were treated like this.
"How do you talk to Manchester City? I still say the same thing. I won't participate. They are them, I am me, I still say the same thing. They are unrighteous to me. I can't do that. But now, what I don't want to hurt is the Milan fans. I can't make the fans think that I am the one who betrays the team. When I leave and face the fans, I can still proudly say that I have never betrayed them or sold the interests of the team! I will always remember their love for me."
Mendes said nothing, but just nodded solemnly, "I know what to do."
Mendes came to the club where Alfaim stayed. This was his first meeting with the Manchester City club president.
Alfaim seemed very enthusiastic when he saw Mendes, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. In fact, the two of them might have a verbal battle because of their ostentatious problems.
"Mr. Mendes," said Alfaim, "congratulations, I have heard that in this year, you are the most profitable agent, worthy of being Mr. 'Superbroker'."
Mendes also performed very enthusiastically, "What's wrong with these reporters, they will talk nonsense. I just make money honestly. I have to thank the players for their efforts. Without their personal efforts, I would not have a good income. They and I are a community."
Alfaim nodded secretly. This agent is indeed great. In fact, many of the agents do not abide by the rules and sacrifice and damage the interests of the players for their own interests. This is also the reason why the agent's reputation is somewhat bad. However, in Alfaim's eyes, what an agent needs most is to strictly abide by his or her professional ethics. Only when his or her players perform well can they make money and make a lot of money. The act of harming the interests of his or her players and making profits for themselves is undoubtedly a killing chicken to get eggs.
This principle is very simple, but it is rare for agents to always abide by it, because the pursuit and temptation of interests is enough to make many people unruly. Especially for super agents with superstars like Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo, it is even more difficult to be able to abide by the rules.
"This is your ability." Alfaim laughed and said, "The players trust you, which means you deserve their trust. Come on, Mr. Mendes, please sit down."
After the two sides took a seat to watch the tea, Alfaim said solemnly: "Mr. Mendes was delayed today to talk to you about the issue of Zhang Yang."
Mendes immediately looked very surprised and said, "I know some things about Zhangyang, but I still don't know much about it. I hope Mr. Alfaim can talk about it in detail."
"This old fox." Alfaim said in his heart that although Zhang Yang did not directly reply to him later, Zhang Yang allowed Mendes to meet him, which means that Zhang Yang had already started to try to accept Manchester City's invitation psychologically, but the specific details need to be discussed later. Therefore, it is an attitude to be able to come in itself.
However, Alfaim also knew that the talks with Mendes would not be easy at all. This is an old fox. In the football circle, Mendes is famous for his strength. He will do his best to win the interests of his players. Some agents will betray the interests of the players in private at this time just to make profits from the negotiating parties. However, Mendes' reputation has always been very good and he will not do that. He knows that only when his players benefit, he can maximize his own interests, because he is very confident in the future of his players.
Alfaim smiled and said, "Of course, it's about the possibility of Mr. Zhang Yang joining Manchester City. He is the best scorer in football. I think Mr. Zhang Yang has communicated with you. The sincerity of our club can be seen. Now, we can sit here and talk about things. This itself shows sincerity, and this is the sincerity of both of us."
"Haha." Mendes smiled, "As the chairman of Manchester City, Mr. Alfaim was able to travel thousands of miles to China, which itself shows sincerity. Zhang also told me this. He said that the reason why he was able to start considering the invitation of your club is that your sincerity is the most important point."
"Thank you," Alfaim said happily, "I'm very happy to hear this, which shows that my work is fruitful. There is nothing that makes me happiest than making me feel that my work is effective."
Mendes also smiled and said, "Mr. Alfaim, both of us have sincerity, so I have some confidence in today's talks."
Alfaim also kept a smile and said, "Mr. Mendes, I am quite honest. I am very happy that Zhang Yang can consider Manchester City, so I am more urgent. Both the club and I are eager to promote this transfer. So, I want to know what Mr. Zhang Yang wants. The club is very clear. With Zhang Yang's performance, strength, fame and market value, it is indeed not easy for him to come to Manchester City today. So, I think it is necessary to figure out some things from the beginning, which is very important for continuing the sincerity of both of us."
