The Ball at Your Feet

The commentator was very excited and cheered for the goal of this strong dialogue. The goals scored by the strong team are always thrilling.

After Monaco scored two goals, the commentator turned his eyes away from the court. And in this game, there is one thing that really puzzles him. Compared with the players' performance, it is more eye-catching, but it is that Petit coach did not appear on the team's coaching bench.

"This is really a strange thing. Petty has always been very concerned about Monaco. He should have appeared on the coaching bench when he was playing against such a strong enemy. But what would happen if he didn't come?"

Coach Petit’s qualifications in Ligue 1 are old enough, coupled with the resignation of Monaco chairman Campola this season, although the person in charge of Monaco is nominally Deschamps, everyone knows that he has just worked in Monaco for three years and has never Deschamps, who has not played in Monaco, cannot replace Petit. So Petit didn't come for this game, where can he go?

The narrator does not know the answer to this question, but if his eyes can reach inside the box, he can know why.

"I never thought that you would come to observe the players before the end of the season." Petit said to the people around him, "Don't your team need to play?"

"There is no hope of winning the championship." The old man beside him gave a wry smile. "And my current condition may have surgery after a while. At that time, I am afraid that the players will not be tested."

His words kept Petty silent for a while, "Resign, heart disease is not suitable for coaching football anymore."

"I still want to lead the team to play the game." The old man shook his head, "I also know that I may not be able to beat Ferguson in my life. Liverpool is handed over to me, and I have no ability to bring it to the glory of the 1980s. , But just retreat like this, I am always a little unwilling."

Petty sighed and said nothing.

Liverpool’s head coach, Hollier, the old French coach, came here today to examine the players. It goes without saying who he is investigating.

"I still don't understand why you think of looking at Joey. You play anti-counterfeit football at Liverpool, but he is a completely offensive player. His style is not suitable for Liverpool, and you know that those in the newspapers To say that he is your fan is just a rant. There must be a behind-the-scenes provocateur in order to get you to buy him. Your enemy wants you to buy him. Why do you want to be so obvious? Where are you going?" Petty was puzzled.

"I have to buy someone." Hollier smiled bitterly. "I don't hide it from you. Michael hasn't renewed his contract with the team until now. He has an ambiguous attitude. After this season is over, I will stay or leave. I don't want to. And know. If he is willing to stay, then I have to find a good helper. If he wants to, I have to find a good substitute for him. Since he is not sure, then I have to find one who can fight and support the scene. People..."

"You can't be too expensive because Liverpool has no money. You can't be too low, otherwise you won't be able to keep the face of the rich." Petty sighed, "You are here on my Taobao."

"I can't help it either." Hollier sighed.

In the past few years, Liverpool's lineup was built entirely around Michael Irving alone, almost a team that relied entirely on Irving's counterattacking ability. However, for a team that delegates all the offensive tasks of the team to one person, the most fearful thing is naturally the departure of the person who is regarded as the only offensive point. Liverpool has not considered this issue before. Michael Owen is a native of Liverpool, the team’s youth training, the team’s captain, and the core of the team. Neither the management nor the fans think he will have it. The possibility of leaving. But now, after Real Madrid showed his intention to continue collecting the Golden Globe winners, Irving could not sit still. He had been thinking about leaving Liverpool and playing for Real Madrid.

Regardless of the youth training or the darling, no matter how arrogant, can not change the fact that Liverpool's strength and reputation are not as good as Real Madrid. Owen is a very smart and realistic person. What about feelings, where is money and name important?

Such turbulence made Hollier, the head coach, not knowing what to do.

"The candidate I originally thought of was Cisse of Auxerre." Hollier said his views without disguising. "He is also a counter-attack striker. If Michael leaves, he will probably have nothing. Seam joins my team. But the problem is that I am still a little reconciled. I have been crying out to the mainland of Liverpool since I joined Liverpool. After so many years, because Michael is here, I can’t abandon it and use it. No defensive counterattack. Now he is going to go. If I hold on to the defensive counterattack, I look down on myself."

Speaking of this, Hollier paused, "Moreover, my condition is also a problem, and I don’t know how long I can do it myself. Liverpool’s upper management wants to take a technical path, and I leave a technical player to the new coach. It’s better than letting Liverpool still only play back."

In fact, there are not only injuries, but also performance issues. Hollier has coached for many years, and Liverpool has nothing to do in terms of results and scenes. In addition to the defense, there is almost no bright spot. Hollier himself is also criticized. If it weren't for Liverpool's century-old team history that had never fired any coach, the club did not want to break this tradition, and now he has been fired.

"So you want to look at Joey and see if he can become the core figure in your attempt to continentalize Liverpool after you lose Irving." Petit nodded, "Then watch it carefully."

"Technology or something, I have watched a lot of videos, so I don’t need to watch it carefully. But I still can’t believe that an Asian can have such good skills. The pace of dribbling, I only work in Marathi. Donna and Ortega have seen it, and the feeling of the ball is just as good and amazing." Hollier shook his head, "That's why I came to you, just to ask you two questions. The first one. Yes, he really didn't take banned drugs? The second one is, do you think he adapts to the Premier League?"

"The first one I can guarantee, he stayed under my nose for so long, I still know what to eat. The second question is not a problem at all. He has been under my hand for more than a year, you think I train What is it? Not his skills! With his current skills, everywhere in the world can play the same!"

Petty is a little dissatisfied with these two questions. Needless to say, the problem of drug prohibition, of course he doesn't like it. He doesn't like to listen to the Premier League or something.

The Premier League matches are very specific. The Premier League’s rhythm is fast and there are many physical confrontations. Playing here, any technical action is prone to technical deformation. Many people say that Premier League players are technically rough, but it is not: Under high speed and fierce confrontation, the technology will certainly appear to be ingenious enough. The environment dictates that it is not necessarily technically inadequate.

In fact, anyone can understand this question: Take the pendulum movement as an example. On the field, anyone with a good body can try to make it. But if you do this action when you run wildly at a speed of about eleven seconds, Ronaldo's alien body will be injured if he plays too much. The principle is the same. In the Premier League environment, no matter how good the technology is, it will be more or less deformed due to rhythm and confrontation.

This also makes many Premier League teams have doubts when introducing technical players: who knows what looks like a good technical move after being transformed? Many people's static ball control skills are like Maradona, but once they rush up, isn't it the one?

But Petty believed that Zhao Yaning would never have to worry about this issue.

The so-called inability to adapt to other leagues is nothing more than two reasons: one is that although the skills are good, the physical fitness is actually messed up, lacks explosiveness, can't speed up, can't carry people, so they can't play. Secondly, the technical body looks very good, but in fact, the technique is not delicate enough. It is fine to play high-speed football, but once it encounters dense defense and slows down, there is no way.

The former is more common in the Premier League and the latter is more common in Serie A.

There is absolutely no problem with Zhao Yaning's physical fitness, and Petty has not allowed Zhao Yaning to play high-speed football for the past year and a half. Isn't it to deal with the latter situation?

He believes that the current Zhao Yaning can definitely adapt to any league and can be mixed everywhere.

Petty's attitude was so firm that Hollier was a little embarrassed by that time. He smiled before speaking again, "Tell me about his characteristics."

"The technique is very good, you have seen it." Petty was a little angry, but he still said, "At the front of the penalty area, near the top of the arc to the two sides, his possession of the ball is absolutely credible. That is The ability to hold the ball at the same level as Gileser, absolutely do not have to worry about any mistakes, on this point, you will never see other players. Speaking of passing ability, the inverted triangle after breaking through the two sides The passing, the small coordination of the three on the ribs, and the ability to get the ball out of the arc to the two halves are all top-notch, long passes are also a little bit, barely enough, not a weakness. Physical strength, all aspects of the ball There is no problem, and he is definitely a qualified core candidate."

"You are talking like a salesman." Hollier laughed.

"Didn't you just come to buy the goods?" Petty asked back.

"That's also... I heard that you wanted to sell him to Arsenal?" Hollier asked.

This question made Petit sigh, "I think Arsenal is the best fit for him. But the problem is that Arthur's temper, you know, he just refuses to pay. These words I say to Didier It's hard to say, after all, he is a young man, and I can't say bad things about our generation in front of young people-Arthur, who likes to be greedy for petty and cheap things, shouldn't, and sooner or later will suffer a lot."

For the conflict between Petit and Wenger, Hollier just smiled, "He is an Arsenal coach and naturally wants to save money for Arsenal... And, will your asking price be a bit high? "

"My offer to him is 14 million pounds." Petit replied, "A star of hope, is this price expensive?"

"You know, I used to want to buy the Cristiano Ronaldo who is now going to Manchester United. Do you know what Liverpool seniors told me?" Hollier laughed, "Children under 18 are not allowed to spend more than 300 Buy it at a price of 10,000, otherwise it’s a waste of money. The Premier League teams have money, but it’s a hassle to spend money.”

This is like speaking for Wenger, but the actual bargaining meaning is very obvious.

"Fortunately, he is not 18 years old. Moreover, if his performance continues like this, although his nationality suffers too much, it is impossible for him to win the Golden Globe award as early as the Michael you under him. Potential and performance are not bad at all." Petit raised his head, "I am not going to make concessions. Maybe, at the end of the season, I will raise the price again."

"You are blackmail." Hollier laughed. "But your team has reached the Champions League knockout. I will just observe it for a while. In the summer it will be too early to sell, and I have to observe it again. It's been a while."

"No matter how you observe, he won't cut the price." Petty shook his head. "And, he might not go to your Liverpool yet."

"Liverpool's reputation in the past two years is not as good as in previous years, but it is also a G14. He is a kid, and he has the courage to look down on Liverpool?" Hollier asked in return.

"You said, the introduction of players depends on three points: passion, performance and potential. Do you Liverpool have passion, potential, and results? He has already played in the Champions League this year. Do you expect him to play in the European Championship next year? League Cup?"

This topic made Hollier's face dim for a while. Not qualifying for the Champions League is indeed a flaw.

"Gillard, I do not hide anything from you. Even if you want to buy him, you have to go back. I still hope that he will go to a team like Arsenal that has a Champions League game. Moreover, Juventus is also contacting Didi Aye inspects him, but you also know that I am not very relieved to do business with Mo Ji's slippery head. I am always worried that I will be fooled and do not want to provoke him. Joey has a lot of next homes, and his ability does not need to be doubted. You need to worry about it. It's not that he is not capable, but that he refuses to go to Liverpool."

"Are there other teams behind us?" Hollier smiled bitterly.

"Yes, Barcelona has asked me too. But their results are just as bad as yours. Of course I will not consider them. What's more, they don't have the money yet, so they only want Saviola to change."

The biggest reason Petit naturally refuses to say: Saviola’s salary is 3.5 million euros in taxes. Where can Monaco afford it?

"Are there any intentions from Manchester United or Chelsea?"

"Manchester United inspected him, but nothing happened. Chelsea...I won't let my players try their luck with the nouveau riche. Monaco can continue to operate because we are responsible for the players. Throw the players to the upstarts. It’s irresponsible. They invest this year and may divest next year. My players, don’t go there."

Serie A Rome, Lazio and Florence are not far away. These upstarts invested heavily in the previous year and may go bankrupt in the next year. Chelsea seems to be very prosperous, but what if Abramovich gets bored? Petit has no confidence in upstart investment and does not want to do business with Chelsea.

"If you are really interested in him, I will give you the contact information of his agent, and you can contact me and ask." Petit thought for a while, and said something, "His agent, and I have contacted him. In the summer, he did not take the opportunity to ask for a salary increase, so I can’t help but consider his opinion on the transfer. You should contact him to see if he is willing to talk to you."

"Can you give me some suggestions?"

Players’ agents often have a lot of influence on players. Hollier is not familiar with Zhao Yaning’s agent, so he also wants to get some advice from Petty. Such things may seem small, but they often make a lot of sense.

"His agent, the one in France, don't care. That person is just a person in the circle. He has a lot of experience in dealing with finances and various affairs, but he can't take care of anything. The one who is really in charge is the one who is with him. Chinese." Petit thought for a while, "Don't talk to him about money. These people who climbed up from the bottom of society, after they have money, are most afraid of being regarded as upstarts, but look down on people who only recognize money. Talk to him. Money, he will look down on you. Don't talk about achievements. That person is a very realistic person. Promises of championships and other things are all false and can't convince him."

"Don't talk about money and honor? Talk about what?" Hollier asked.

"He's played football before and knows a little bit about technology and tactics. You should show up as a handsome man and tell him about tactics and skills. The more you talk about it, he will convince you. If you want to attract him. Players, don't talk about salary or future results, just give him a real promise: the main position and core position can impress him."

After all, Petty has been a coach for many years. Although Zhang Yuan is very clever, he is also an agent anyway. He thinks that the pattern of things cannot be separated from the routine. Petty has dealt with countless agents for so many years. , Naturally he can guess what he thinks.

What a football player wants is money and fame. Zhao Yaning was born in China. There is no player in the domestic football world who can compare with him. There is a big market enough to make him not need to worry about money at all. As long as he is still playing football and is not at odds with the country, the money he makes is enough. It's beyond the reach of anyone.

But having said that, with money, the other pursuit is of course fame. Petit and Zhang Yuan have been in contact several times. Listening to his tone, it seems that he doesn't really value the number of champions, but is more interested in the issue of the Golden Globes.

Although football is a collective sport, for some people, individual awards are more attractive after all. Especially for people like Zhao Yaning from a small football country. They are not giant youth academies, nor local players. No matter how high their achievements are, it is difficult for them to live their lives in a team or become a team's legend. For them, no matter how many championships they win, if they don't have enough personal status, they will be forgotten when they turn their heads. Therefore, for them, personal honor is more important. Even if the players don't think so, the agent must think so. After all, they have to consider the issue of eating after the players retire.

Petty is not surprised that Zhang Yuan has such an idea. And to win the Golden Globes, in addition to various off-board dredging work, for the players in these small countries, it is naturally a few indispensable things.

Technical players, giant teams, core status, qualifications gained over the years, coupled with good popularity and not a shameful performance of the national team.

Of course, these are all for normal people. If Zhao Yaning can really genetically mutate into an alien and take the Chinese team to win the World Cup, then all the conditions will be scum-but the real gene has been mutated, It is more likely to be dissected.

For other things, Zhang Yuan could not help as a broker. However, Zhang Yuan will never give up on the relationship with the media and the requirement for the core position of the team. Being able to become a core player of a G14 club has a huge bonus to a player's personal honor.

"Do you really want to contact him now?" Petty said with some dissatisfaction. "It's not yet December. Contact him half a year in advance? If my players don't play well for this reason~www.wuxiaspot.com ~I can trouble you."

"Let, I have no other way." Hollier sighed. "You also said that he is a very sought-after player. But what attracts Liverpool to him? We don't have money. We can't learn Chelsea's wealth. Come on. We don’t have a guarantee of honor. We can’t compare Manchester United and Juventus. And I’m a person with no abilities. Arthur can attract players by personal charm, and I can’t compare with him. We can rely on it, The only way to do this is to start first."

"This is not grocery shopping, and you may not be able to buy fresh goods first. His agent is not a fool. It is impossible to sign a contract with you as soon as you go."

"Of course I know this." Hollier nodded, "But at least, I have to show enough sincerity. I just let him know that other giants will have to go through a lot of inspections and negotiations if he wants him or not, and Liverpool , He is welcome at all times. When the negotiations with other teams do not go well, they can naturally set their sights on Liverpool, and I have earned it."

Liverpool is also a giant anyway, so you have become a spare tire mentality. Petty wanted to talk, but still muffled the words.

But this is also good. There can be a team that is willing to be Zhao Yaning's last choice. When he is playing in the team, he may be able to work harder.

That being the case, then there is no need to oppose Liverpool contacting his agent. Anyway, at the end, how can you bypass Monaco when negotiating the contract?
