Red Rebels

778 Carrot and stick

"What's bothering you?"

Before 6 o'clock in the morning, Eva Snow was awakened by Xiao Yu's movements. She wrapped herself around him and forcibly pulled him back to her bed.

On a hot summer morning, even though the air conditioner was on, the thin quilt still outlined the two bodies rubbing against each other in the quilt.

"Drogba's transfer has not been finalized yet." Xiao Yu sighed.

Eva Snow rubbed his deeply furrowed brow coquettishly, "Didn't you say you don't care about these things? Why are you so bothered? She looks like an old lady."

Xiao Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's what I say, but how can it be so easy to really let go? Maybe only when I really don't care about it and let others do everything can I really feel relaxed."

Eva Snow glanced at her husband, it would be strange to believe him

Football is like Xiao Yu's second wife. Xiao Yu often pays more attention to football than his family and children, especially for the Red Rebels. Xiao Yu's love for this team is not inferior to his own son.

This is not that Eva Snow is blaming Xiao Yu. In fact, from the moment she decided to marry Xiao Yu, she already knew what kind of person he was. She also knew that besides being obsessed with football, Xiao Yu Besides, he really has no other problems. He doesn't smoke, drink, gamble or whore. He doesn't have almost all the problems that rich people have.

So even if Xiao Yu is obsessed with football, Eva Snow can only be considerate and understanding. She is even willing to fall in love with football and the Red Rebels in order to bring her and Xiao Yu closer and increase their common ground. language.

"Have you spoken to Drogba?" Eva Snow asked.

Xiao Yu nodded, "We talked about it. We talked about it in Dubai, but he didn't give me a clear answer."

"From what I've heard, if the team doesn't have Drogba, the impact won't be big, right?" Eva Snow asked.

Xiao Yu shook his head, "You can't just look at it this way. Although Drogba is not the frontman in the team, he is actually an important member of the bench. He understands the team's tactics very well and is also very familiar with the players' habits. Familiar, he can come on the field and contribute to the team anytime, anywhere.”

"If you introduce other players, you need more adaptation period. Some are very short and can be used as soon as they arrive. Some take a few months, some take half a year, or even a season. Some may even never adapt. No,

It is a huge risk to import goods with high hopes and escape under the name of parallel imports.”

"And Drogba has been with the team for so many years and has rich experience. Keeping him can bring a very important role to the team, especially in some key games. His experience can even influence the game."

Eva Snow has also gained a deep understanding of football over the years. She no longer understands football at all like before, and she can understand Xiao Yu's meaning to some extent, although she does not know as much as Xiao Yu.

"Okay, don't think about it. If he really wants to leave, it will be useless no matter how much you stay; if he doesn't leave, he will renew his contract with the team sooner or later. It's already number 0 today, and the result will be soon. It’s out, isn’t it?”

Xiao Yu also understood, but he was still worried.

As people get older, they have more troubles. It’s really a tragedy.

"I'll make breakfast for you. You should have a good rest."

Eva Snow gently kissed Xiao Yu's forehead and then walked out of the room.

Xiao Yu's family all got up early, and Chopin also got up early, running around like a monkey, causing the servants to follow him, and was finally caught by Eva Snow for breakfast.

"Dad, do you want to watch Uncle David's game?" Chopin asked while eating breakfast.

"I won't go" Xiao Yu replied without hesitation.

Chopin was stunned and said, "Oh, then I'll go with Aunt Victoria."

"How are you going? You are going abroad," Xiao Yu threatened.

"Don't think of me as a child who is easy to deceive. This is a home game, held at Wembley Stadium in London. I have tickets." Chopard ran away with a smile as if you were really ignorant.

"This kid..." Xiao Yu laughed and scolded him. He thought he could deceive his son.

Watching Chopard leave the house and run in the direction of Beckham's house, he must be going to play there.

"Don't think your son is easy to deceive. They all say he is very smart and can learn anything at once." Eva Snow said with pride. In the eyes of mothers all over the world, her son is always the best. of.

Isn't there a saying?

Other people’s wives are the most beautiful, and their own sons are the best.

"Stop selling flowers and praising their fragrance..." Xiao Yu teased his wife.

At this moment, his cell phone rang, and it was Mark David's call.

In the conference room of the administration building at the Newton Heath training base, Drogba sat side by side with his agent Saidi.

The expressions of the two people looked completely different. Drogba's expression was a bit serious, but his eyes could not hide the excitement and excitement in his heart. Sadie had a look of disappointment, as if he had been working hard for a month in vain. , but turned into running water in the end.

"Didier, you really must think it over carefully," Sadie reminded again, unable to sit still.

Drogba thought for a while and nodded: "I have thought clearly, Sadie, I should not just think about myself, I should also think about my family, my children, and the Red Rebels." , Frankly speaking, I love this team, this is the only team in my career that can give me a sense of belonging and pride."

Sadie spread his hands. Now that things have happened, what else can he say?

Drogba called him early this morning. Saidi thought he had thought it through and wanted to transfer. But who knew, Drogba told him that he decided to renew his contract with the Red Rebels. , and he is willing to accept contract renewal negotiations from the Red Rebels, hoping to resolve this negotiation today.

God, this guy is crazy.

Saidi was thinking about Drogba in this way, because he felt that Drogba gave up the best opportunity for a salary increase.

Of course, he would not understand Drogba's feelings for the Red Rebels.

Xiao Yu, Mourinho, and Mark David, the three giants of the Red Rebels opened the door of the conference room and came in. They all had smiles on their faces. It could be seen that Drogbaken re-accepted the contract extension. Negotiate, this is a good sign to stay on the team.

"I'm sorry, boss, I should have explained it clearly to you yesterday." Drogba stood up immediately when he saw Mourinho.

Mourinho smiled and said, "Explain what?"

"I actually just went to listen to Inter Milan's contract yesterday. I haven't decided whether to sign with them yet. I have been hesitant these days, but today, I finally made a decision."

Behind Drogba, Saidi's expression became very ugly, because he found that Drogba was exposing his trump card.

Doesn't this mean telling everyone in the Red Rebels that he wants to stay with the team and renew his contract?

It is a very stupid act to tell one's trump card to the negotiating opponent so blatantly. Why don't the Red Rebels take this opportunity to make a good profit?

"I'm glad to hear you say that, Didier. I have always believed that you will retire with the Red Rebels." Mourinho smiled and patted Drogba on the shoulder.

"Me too, Didier, you are welcome to stay." Xiao Yu smiled and hugged Drogba.

By keeping Drogba, the Red Rebels no longer need to experience metabolic pain. Although Drogba is old, his experience and strength are still there, and he will be an important member of the team.

"Although I am very happy that you can stay, in principle, I still have to remind you, Didier, in my plan, you will not be the absolute main force of the team, and I cannot guarantee that you will be in the team. playing time.”

The three giants sat opposite Drogba, with a secretary writing down the minutes of the meeting, while Mourinho expressed his thoughts openly.

Drogba nodded. He had already been mentally prepared for this matter. After all, the Red Rebels' current offensive momentum is so strong. They have scored 6 goals in 4 games, without conceding an average goal per game. 4 goals. Even if you look at the whole of Europe, this result can only be achieved by the Red Rebels. No team can catch up.

In this case, Drogba can only serve as more of a tactical substitute, or play in some cup games to lead the young people in the team. When the team cannot open up the situation, he can stand up and Enrich the team's offensive routines.

Although Ismail is better than Drogba in terms of physical strength, shooting accuracy, and technology, Ismail cannot learn from Drogba's experience and his playing style. , although the latter is talented and is currently Europe's top striker, in terms of shrewdness and experience, he is not as good as Drogba.

This is what Drogba has accumulated based on many years of experience in playing football. Young people cannot steal his skills overnight.

After Drogba nodded, Saidi sat silently. He was very surprised. Why would Drogba give up his main position in Inter Milan and choose to stay in the Red Rebels as a substitute?

Is it just because the Red Rebels are the strongest team in football today? Just because his family and son are in Manchester? Or is it because he is really confused and does not have the ambition to expand his territory in Serie A?

Maybe there are various reasons, but it’s not all because of these

"Okay, Didier, then we can start contract renewal negotiations," Mark David took the lead.

At this moment, Drogba's agent Saidi suddenly spoke.

"Since it's a negotiation, why not listen to our opinions and demands first, okay?"

Sadie's words were reasonable, but Mark David and Xiao Yu looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads.

In Sadie's eyes, this smile and shake of the head seemed to be very dismissive of his request, as if he had made a rather excessive request, which made Sadie almost jump out and leave on the spot.

But Xiao Yu said, "Okay, we will discuss your requirements and conditions later. Take a look at the contract we have given. If there is anything inappropriate, we will discuss it later."

After Drogba heard this, he took the initiative to take over the contract from Mark David.

After looking at it carefully, Drogba's expression changed a lot. After Saidi looked at it from the side, he became more confident. Drogba was going to be slaughtered this time, and he actually came to his door. Oh my God.

"Sadie, look" Drogba pressed his hand into Sadie's hand.

Saidi glanced at Drogba complainingly, as if to tell the latter, I told you that you were going to be hung up and sold, who made you express your position in such a hurry, now you are fine, you have been brutally slaughtered, right?

But when Saidi opened the contract and read it, he was shocked.

Strictly speaking, the contract given by the Red Rebels this time is more sincere than the last time. Strictly speaking, the contract period this time is +, that is, the implementation of the second year. Once the requirements are met, it will be automatically extended to the third year. Year.

This is a good contract for Drogba. After all, he will be 4 years old by then and will have one foot on the threshold of retirement.

In addition to the length of the contract, the Red Rebels ensured that Drogba's salary in the first two years of this contract will remain unchanged. The third year of the contract will be evaluated based on the performance and status of the second year before being awarded. Consider taking a salary cut.

This was not too harsh for Drogba, who had already entered retirement age at that time, at least according to the game situation. If you were really in a mess by then, the Red Rebels would not be able to give you too high a salary. salary.

5.5 million euros is considered to be lower than the upper reaches of the Red Rebels. If it is placed in other teams, it is basically the first-level salary. Some of the top stars of the upper reaches of the British team cannot get this salary. A salary.

In addition, the contract has increased the goal bonus and a series of other bonuses. This also proves the attitude of the Red Rebels towards Drogba. It is very simple. If you want to get more salary, just Let your performance on the court speak for itself.

Drogba saw Saidi's expression and guessed that he was probably as surprised as he was, so he smiled and waited for his agent's reply.

"In addition to Didier's contract, we will also pay an additional signing fee of 500,000 euros to Saidi. You deserve this fee." Xiao Yu spoke again.

Sadie was surprised and a little panicked. He didn't expect the Red Rebels to do something like this, which made him embarrassed and flattered.

The signing fee of 500,000 euros is a considerable amount of income for Saidi, and the Red Rebels are obviously using this method to appease Saidi. After all, Drogba is about to transfer this time. Di also did a lot of things behind the scenes.

It is impossible for the Red Rebels to treat players and agents in a domineering manner. Carrots and sticks, kindness and power are used together. This is the real way to win people's hearts.

Moreover, this time Drogbaken stayed, and the team was very satisfied with the result.

Thinking of this, Saidi no longer had any room to ask or bargain, and could only nod towards Drogba.

Drogba immediately agreed to renew his contract with the Red Rebels. The two parties negotiated and signed a contract extension agreement this time, and the official contract will be after Drogba completes the African World Cup qualifiers from the national team and returns to Manchester. Then formally sign.
