Chapter 102 Who is it?
John Sting Olsen, a former Danish international, became an Ajax scout after retiring. He was responsible for the inspection of players in Scandinavia. Over the years, he has introduced many outstanding stars from Northern Europe to the Ajax first team.
The Ibrahimovic in front of Yang Yang is one of John Steen Olsen's masterpieces.
Due to his excellent referral resume in the past, John Sting Olsen has been rumored to be a bit of a legend within Ajax. Many people even think that all those he strongly recommends to the club are top talents.
Yang Yang had also heard the legend of John Steen Olsen in De Tokmost, but he had never seen it.
"Who is it?" Yang Yang asked curiously.
He really wants to know who is worthy of the title of Zlatan Ibrahimovic II.
"I don't know the details." Maxwell shook his head. "But I heard that the club also attaches great importance to it. This player is following the national team to Portugal to play in the national team's European competition. At that time, not only John Sting Olsen, but even the club's technical director Van Gaal will personally come out to persuade him to join Ajax."
"You haven't even been able to find out the news after all your inquiries. It seems that the club is hiding very deeply." Vermaelen said with a tsk.
Maxwell is De Tokmoster's inquirer, and he is the most well-informed person without talking about it.
"Cut, what's so great about dispatching the technical director? When Ajax invited me to come, John Sting Olsen, technical director Leo Benhak and the then head coach Ko Adrianse played at the same time, and this moved me with sincerity. Otherwise, I would not want to join Ajax." Ibrahimovic said disdainfully.
All three of Yang Yang laughed, this guy is jealous.
But it's no wonder that the club has already started looking for his successor even though he hasn't left yet.
Of course, this is also understandable. After all, it is not a matter of a day or two for Ibrahimovic to leave the team, and the young player Ajax wants to introduce is afraid of the future. No matter when the Swedish center leaves the team, it will not affect it, let alone conflict with Ibrahimovic's position.
But let alone what level of players the opponent dispatched, this undoubtedly shows the importance they attach to the players.
Although the news revealed by Maxwell is fragmented, combined with Yang Yang's own observations over the past few days, he feels that Van Gaal is indeed reforming Ajax, not only the entire internal management system, but also the club's business model.
He successively promised Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart, Trabelsi and other big-name stars in the team. As long as a team offered them a reasonable price in the summer of [-], Ajax would agree to let them go. This was something that Ajax would not agree to before.
Looking at the club's signings, it is obvious that they are also planning for a rainy day, that is, to make up for the hidden danger that several players may leave the team in advance.
Regarding the changes promoted by Van Gaal, Yang Yang is neutral. After all, he is not familiar with club management. However, he is opposed to Cruyff and many other celebrities who believe that such reforms by Van Gaal will seriously damage the team's fighting spirit.
He didn't dare to say it when he didn't see others, but as far as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, van der Vaart and Trabelsi were concerned, they were all full of energy and fighting spirit, and they were all eager to prove themselves.
The reason is simple. Their performance in the last half of the year at Ajax is not just playing for their old club, but also proving their professional ethics and ability to their new club. The better they play, the more attractive and bargaining power they will be when transferring.
Conversely, if they were passive and idle, they might not even be able to find a good home in Xia Tian.
While chatting, the three continued to play cards, but not long after, Sneijder came.
Ajax's small single-family house in the resort is a four-person house, and Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic happen to be in the same house, but Sneijder and others often come to visit, especially after seeing the fun of fighting the landlord, but tonight he also brought a piece of news.
"Boss wants to see you."
…………
…………
Putting on his coat and full of questions, Yang Yang came to Ronald Koeman's small house.
It was Luther Carroll who opened the door for him, but to his surprise, the technical director Van Gaal was there.
From his dusty appearance, it is obvious that he only came to Portugal today, which reminded Yang Yang of Maxwell's words that Van Gaal was going to focus on the young center forward recommended by John Steen Olsen.
"Boss, are you looking for me?" Yang Yang stepped forward and asked, and at the same time nodded towards Van Gaal.
In front of people, they always keep a distance.
"Well, Yang, come and sit down." Ronald Koeman greeted Yang Yang.
Even though Yang Yang played four games for the team, each game is very important and has played a key factor, bringing huge benefits to Ajax. Now he is a player who has left a mark in the minds of the management bosses.
"What do you want from me?" Yang Yang asked strangely after sitting down.
But it was not Ronald Koeman who answered, but Louis van Gaal who was sitting opposite.
"Andrew is your agent?"
"Andrew?" Yang Yang pondered for a while, "Oh, yes, he was indeed my agent when I signed with the club, but I didn't know him very well, but I couldn't find a candidate at the time, so Henk Dimmel recommended his agent to me."
Having said that, Yang Yang looked at Van Gaal and Ronald Koeman strangely, confused.
"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
Van Gaal knew Yang Yang's situation best, and he also knew what happened to Yang Yang back then, so he believed Yang Yang's words.
"Your agent met with an official of Twente Club in Amsterdam this afternoon, but was accidentally bumped into by a media reporter, and your name was also mentioned during the interview. You know, if the media wants to hype, there are many articles that can be done here."
Yang Yang frowned upon hearing this, was he too careless?
"I don't know about this."
"Of course, we all believe in you. Fortunately, this time our relationship with this newspaper is not bad, and we have temporarily suppressed it. But you know, it is the winter break transfer period. If such a sensitive matter is known by the fans, the impact will be very bad." Van Gaal reminded with concern.
Of course, Yang Yang knew that many fans had just accepted Yang Yang. If such news came out at this time, the impact on Yang Yang would be very bad, and many fans might even use this as a reason to attack and blame him in the future.
Ronald Koeman and Luther Carroll looked at each other, feeling quite helpless.
"If I remember correctly, this Andrew should be from a small brokerage company near Amsterdam?" Van Gaal asked.
"Well, many Almere players' agents are represented by their company."
"The team plans to talk to you about contract renewal in the near future. This kind of small company can no longer handle your affairs, so hurry up and find an opportunity to change." Van Gaal persuaded.
Yang Yang was also quite helpless, he didn't expect to change his agent so soon.
But Van Gaal's reminder is also right.
In the past, he was Yang Yang, no one knew him when he walked on the street, media reporters were not interested in him at all, it didn't matter who was his manager, as long as he represented him to sign and negotiate, but now it's different.
In just four games, Yang Yang's status in the minds of Ajax fans has improved rapidly, and he is very attractive among the Dutch media. If it weren't for the fact that the newspaper has a good relationship with Ajax this time, and the news was disclosed to the team in advance, and Ajax handled the public relations in a timely manner. Once the newspaper waits for it, it will definitely be a big blow to Yang Yang.
The problem exposed by this incident is that Yang Yang's agent is no longer capable of handling his current affairs.
In just a few months, Yang Yang rose so fast that his manager probably didn't understand Yang Yang's current situation and situation, so he made such a serious mistake.
"To be honest, I'm really at a loss for changing all of a sudden." Yang Yang looked at Van Gaal with a wry smile.
The three people on the opposite side are also very helpless. This kid is all focused on football. Apart from going to school, he basically spends all his time practicing football. His family is not around, so how can he have time to think about other things?
"Find a big-name brokerage company, such as IMG, or something else, I believe they will be very interested in you." Van Gaal suggested.
Today's Yang Yang is not what he used to be, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is hot.
Of course, he is not hot enough to let big companies and big-name agents take the initiative to come to him, after all, he has only played four games.
Football talents from all over the world are gathered in European football. I don’t know how many new stars emerge every year. How many of them quickly disappear after playing a few good games. How many of them can really stand out from thousands of competitors and climb all the way to the top of the pyramid?
It's like Van der Vaart, who suffered an injury and lost his meniscus. He is destined not to reach the height expected by others in his life, and he will never regain the demeanor of galloping on the left side of the green field before the injury.
…………
…………
Yang Yang thought all the way back to the small single building, where Sneijder, Vermaelen and Maxwell were fighting the landlord.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic remained silent, with an aggrieved expression on his face. When he asked, it turned out that the Swedish center forward refused to accept the loss. He didn't want to take off his clothes and go out for a run, so he had to give up his position to Sneijder.
When they heard about Yang Yang's problem, everyone became concerned.
It is not uncommon in professional football for agents to screw up players.
Change, this is a decision unanimously approved by everyone, the key is who to change?
I don't know if Van Gaal was not pleasing to the eye. Ibrahimovic opposed the IMG brokerage company on the spot, thinking that these big companies have strict systems, but the brokers are too lacking in courage, not smooth enough in doing things, and very rigid and dogmatic.
"My last agent was from IMG, and he recommended me to go to Southampton. I was so angry that I didn't spit on him at the time. With my strength, I only deserve to go to Southampton? So, I told him to get out immediately."
Sneijder recommended a local agent in the Netherlands. It is said that many Dutch players are authorized to represent him. He has a wide network of contacts in the Netherlands, and his ability is also very good. It is very reassuring to do things.
Yang Yang couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he simply put it aside temporarily.
When we return to Amsterdam, we will first terminate the contract with the previous agent.
It's Saturday, and it's getting closer to the shelves, please vote more, thank you!
