Chapter 110 Vampire
"Hello, sir, who are you looking for?"
When Yang Yang and the first team were in De Tokmoorster for recovery training the day after the game, Mino Raiola walked into the administrative office of the Amsterdam Arena with his fat belly.
"I'm looking for your technical director, Louis van Gaal." Raiola walked over, put his hands on the table, and said with a smile.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Are you new here? Just tell him, Raiola is looking for him, no appointment required."
The receptionist at the front desk didn't dare to be too condescending, and immediately pressed an internal phone, and was immediately connected to Van Gaal's office. Soon, she put down the phone, got up and brought Raiola to the door of the technical director's office.
"Mr. Raiola, I'm sorry, I'm very busy right now, and I really don't have time to discuss anything with you about Zlatan Ibrahimovic's transfer. If possible, please talk about it after the end of the season, okay?"
When Van Gaal saw Raiola, he couldn't help frowning, one head and two big.
In the past six months or so, he has dealt with Raiola a lot. This vampire is notoriously difficult to deal with.
"I think you misunderstood, Luis." Raiola was still smiling, looking very kind. "I'm not here today because of Zlatan's affairs. I always respect the wishes of the players. You are clear about this. Since he has reached an agreement with you, I will definitely abide by it and will not cause trouble."
When Van Gaal heard this, his face softened a little.
Now that the team finally regained its calm, and everyone was able to play in peace and stability, he really didn't want to make any more troubles and cause some right and wrong for nothing.
"Well, what do you want to do today?" Van Gaal asked in a bad tone, as if he would chase someone away at any time.
Raiola was still smiling, "Didn't you ask me to come?"
"I asked you to come?"
"Yeah, you said you wanted to talk about contract renewal."
"Contract renewal?" Van Gaal was at a loss, "Who is talking about contract renewal? Ibrahimovic? Maxwell?"
"No, no, Luis, it's not time for them to renew their contracts. I want to talk about Yang Yang and Vermaelen."
"What?" Van Gaal was taken aback.
"Surprised, isn't it?" Raiola seemed very satisfied with the surprise he had created. "That's right, starting today, I'm officially the manager of Yang Yang and Vermaelen. This is the brokerage contract we signed."
Van Gaal took the document from Raiola, glanced at it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he was still a little surprised.
How did this damned vampire become Yang Yang's agent for no reason?
Could it be Ibrahimovic?
definitely is!
It must be that damned Swede who instigated Yang Yang to join Raiola.
If Zlatan Ibrahimovic stands in front of Van Gaal now, the Dutch coach cannot guarantee that he will not have the urge to strangle him.
It's not good for you to introduce someone to be Yang Yang's agent, but you introduced Raiola. Is this intentional to make things difficult for me?
But Van Gaal quickly calmed down, exhaled heavily, nodded and said, "Okay, then what do you want to talk about?"
"First of all, let's talk about Vermaelen. My player needs more playing time and opportunities to practice games. I believe you should have seen his ability. The header last night was so beautiful."
"That's Yang Yang's good corner kick."
"That's right, but Vermaelen has a strong sense of grabbing spots, isn't that undeniable?"
"What do you want?"
"Old rules, contract renewal, double salary, [-] euros a week, and at the same time promise more playing time, shouldn't this be too much?" Raiola laughed.
Vermaelen's current salary is about the same as Yang Yang's, only tens of euros more, doubled to [-] euros, which is completely acceptable for Ajax. As for the commitment of playing time, Van Gaal can also give it.
"Okay, there is no problem with this." Van Gaal replied readily.
In fact, after Vermaelen entered the first team, contract renewal has also been put on the agenda. After all, Ajax also has to beware of him being poached by other teams. Now, taking advantage of his outstanding performance in the quarter-finals of the Dutch Cup, he renewed his contract with Vermaelen and locked in the future of the Belgian central defender. This is a good thing for both the team and the players.
"Next let's talk about Yang Yang's contract. I have to say that after seeing his current contract, I really feel worthless for my player. He has such a low salary, but he has such an outstanding performance. I really don't know what to say. I also want to know how sincere you Ajax are in renewing the contract?"
Raiola is kicking the ball directly to Van Gaal.
Why didn't Van Gaal know the mystery of this?
"What do you think?"
"Ajax's current maximum salary is van der Vaart, with a weekly salary of [-] euros, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wesley Songk, Litmanen, Victor Scola and John O'Brien are all [-] euros."
When saying these words, Raiola has been paying attention to Van Gaal's expression, and he deliberately paused before continuing.
"Not to mention Van der Vaart and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Wesley Sonke has the aura of the top scorer in the league. Veteran Litmanen is a famous European player. These are not mentioned, but the three players, Sawyertals, Victor Scola and John O'Brien, all receive such high salaries. How much do you think Yang Yang should receive?"
After hearing this, Van Gaal cursed inwardly, feeling very tricky.
He knew that Raiola was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, and he had a clear idea of the entire salary structure of the team at once. How did he answer this?
Can he say that Sawyertals, Victor Scola and John O'Brien were the club's mistakes in signing?
Both players came to the team with high expectations, but their performances were disappointing?
This is not what he should say as a technical director.
"Mr. Raiola, you should know that Yang Yang's situation is not comparable to theirs."
"I know." Raiola was still smiling, "I just want to remind you, Luis."
"What do you mean?" Van Gaal asked.
"Three thousand euros a week."
"It's impossible." Van Gaal shook his head, "Sevenfold at once, Ajax will not accept such a contract extension."
"Sneijder, De Jong and others are also in this position. I believe that Yang Yang's salary is not excessive at this time, right?"
"Yes, what you said makes sense, but you have to know that Yang Yang is only 17 years old. According to our club's plan, if everything goes well for him in the future, he will have to renew his contract at least twice within three years. We can't mention so much all at once."
For the salary negotiation of young players when renewing contracts, not only the current situation must be considered, but also the future must be considered, leaving room for salary increases for future contract renewals, and even the chain reaction brought about by the contract renewal.
Given such a high salary to a 17-year-old player, will other players follow suit?
"Then what do you mean?" Raiola asked with a smile.
"Two thousand euros, no more."
"That means we can't agree." Raiola curled his lips and clicked twice, "It's okay, we still have time."
After speaking, Raiola didn't linger, got up and left with a fat body.
Watching the back of the Italian fat man leave, Van Gaal felt a headache.
How did Yang Yang find such an agent?
…………
…………
When Van Gaal returned home and told his girlfriend, Truss Opalmel, about the messy thing that happened to him that morning that ruined his good mood all day, the latter couldn't stop giggling.
"If you laugh again, I will consider running away from home." Van Gaal said hesitantly.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." Truss suppressed his smile, but there was still a playful joke between his brows, "But I really don't understand, what are you angry about?"
"I..." Van Gaal was a little speechless, "Aren't I worried that he will be led astray by some bad agents at a young age? The most important thing for him now is to improve his own strength and play more games, instead of focusing on making money and neglecting his business."
In the end, Van Gaal was really earnest.
"Then is he deserted?" Truss asked, "Isn't he performing better and better recently? Besides, his contract renewal issue has been stalemate for such a period of time, has it affected him?"
When Van Gaal thought about it, it didn't seem to be affected, and Yang Yang didn't seem to take it seriously at all.
"If I remember correctly, you were the one who told me a few days ago that you kept urging him to find an agent and negotiate a contract renewal. Now that he has found an agent, you are not happy."
"That's because he found a vampire, who is Raiola?" Van Gaal was also a little angry.
Truss raised his hands, signaling Van Gaal to calm down, "It depends on which angle you stand to look at this matter."
"What do you mean?"
"From the standpoint of the technical director of Ajax, you should be angry, because Mino Raiola is negotiating with Ajax on behalf of Yang Yang. He wants to do everything possible to fight for Yang Yang's interests. You hate this agent deeply. I can understand that."
Van Gaal nodded, this is indeed his idea.
"But if you are from the standpoint of a friend, I think you can think about it. Is what Raiola is fighting for the legitimate interests that Yang Yang deserves? Has he offered an outrageous price? Or, has he done anything that harms Yang Yang's interests?"
"If there is, I suggest you talk to Yang Yang in person and tell him these things. If not, then I don't understand why you are angry. Maybe, you just have nothing to do with Raiola during the negotiation and deliberately play your temper."
After Truth's words, Van Gaal was speechless and speechless for a long time.
"Well, I think Raiola is also very good. At least he won't suffer when facing the club. He is strong enough to protect the interests of the players. On the contrary, the previous one is too weak and has poor handling ability. That is the one who will really kill Yang Yang." Truth comforted with a smile.
She knew Van Gaal's temper all too well.
Sure enough, when she said that, Van Gaal shook his head with a wry smile.
"He's relieved, it's okay, but I'm miserable, facing Raiola all day, I'm about to explode!"
Seeing Van Gaal's appearance, Truss couldn't help laughing again.
But she also knew in her heart that Van Gaal was still not suitable for this position after all, not suitable for wearing a suit and tie every day, clocking in and going to work on time.
After all, he still belongs to the football field and the bench.
That's where he should be.
The last three days, brothers, please vote more, thank you!
