The strongest blade in football

Chapter 111
The transition from winter to summer in Belgium is always slow.

From Carnival in February to Easter in March and April, the temperature has been changing back and forth between cold and warm.

If there are several sunny days in succession, the daytime temperature will rise to over 10 degrees, or even higher, and the streets will immediately be full of gorgeous shirts and short skirts.

But it will never be too long. In just a few days, a drizzle will bring everything back to the starting point.

It wasn't until May that the colorful flowers in the green spaces on the street and people's gardens gradually increased, and the forest gradually became thick and shaded.

One of the most pleasant things at this time is to go for a drive on the road by the forest in the evening.

There are several large forests in the east and south of Brussels. It is only half an hour's drive from Liege. This is a good place for Wang Nuo to relax after training.

Wang Nuo would drive the CLS300 along the highway at a speed of 70 miles aimlessly, to relax.

The Standard Liege Champions League play-offs have ended, and Standard Liege finally won the fourth place in the league, which is also the worst league result in the last 4 years.

It is a heavy blow to the team to lose all four teams in one season. Next season, they will only have the league and domestic cups to play.

The current cluttered lineup must be cleaned up to some extent.

The new head coach, Italian Dominique D'Onofrio, submitted a list to the club based on his performance in the play-offs, and many players were excluded from the new season plan by him.

Of course, there are still some players who have long been favorites in the transfer market.

Such as Ma Baokani, Camargo, Witsel, and Wang Nuo.

According to Wang Nuo's private communication, Mabokani may go to Ligue [-], Camargo has already decided to go to Borussia, and Witsel is still up for sale.

Wang Nuo, under the arrangement of Mino, had contact with many clubs and finally locked on Manchester City.

He has a long-term EU work permit, and even if he applies for special terms, it is easy to pass, so Wang Nuo can 100% play in the Premier League.

Wang Nuo represented Standard Liege in 31 games in various official competitions this season and scored 15 goals, including 4 goals in the Europa League. In addition, he also had 5 assists.

With such data, Wang Nuo also won the honor of the best rookie in the 2009-2010 season.

His worth in the German transfer has climbed to 800 million euros, and he is already the most valuable player in Liege. Mino has been busy with his transfer recently.

The summer transfer is about to start. For the players, the offseason is the agent's game day. There are many players under Minor's banner, and his daily schedule is full.

Wang Nuo kept in touch with Mino, but he didn't take the initiative to disturb him. He believed in Mino's ability.

The team's game tasks for this season have been completed. Except for training, everyone is waiting for the holiday.

In the evening, after Wang Nuo's training, he drove to the road by the forest for a drive. The breeze was blowing on his face, which was very pleasant.

He would put a football on the back seat of the car, drive for a while, and then park the car on the side of the road when he was in the mood, and try the fancy moves in his mind.

This afternoon, until the moment before the phone rang, Wang Nuo was spending an ordinary day in Liege as usual.

Wang Nuo took out his mobile phone, and it was Desart who called. Desart rarely contacted Wang Nuo alone, which made Wang Nuo a little strange.

"Are you busy now?" De Sutter's voice sounded different from usual.

Wang Nuo thought to himself, I can't say something is wrong, can I?
"No, I'm fine, what's the matter?"

"Do you have time to come over? The people from Manchester City are here! Mino Raiola's phone can't get through, you come here first." De Sart said on the phone.

"Come now to the Van der Valxelles Hotel, we are waiting for you."

Wang Nuo immediately realized that it was time to decide his future.

He called Minow, and sure enough he couldn't get through, turned around and drove back to Liege.

Along the way, Wang Nuo was both excited and nervous. Regarding this transfer, Mino worked hard for more than a month, jumping back and forth between several clubs, and now, it was finally his turn to make his debut.

Mino once told Wang Nuo that he would bring him to Manchester City at a record transfer price for Chinese players. In his words, this Premier League upstart is now super fucking rich!

The consortium behind them directly points to the royal family of the emirate of Abu Dhabi, which is incomparably rich!

"They are not the same as the previous Manchester City! Mancini is looking for people, they are full of ambition!"

"You were not in the plan at all, but I got it all done!" Mino once said to Wang Nuo.

In 2004, the 18-year-old Dong Fangzhuo joined Manchester United for 350 million pounds. Wang Nuo hopes that he can double this figure, or even more!

Since I just wanted to drive around today, Wang Nuo wore sportswear, which might not be appropriate for this important meeting.

But what the heck!Wang Nuo thought, what they want is me!
Instead of going home, he went straight to the hotel and parked his car outside the hotel when he arrived.

De Sutter was standing not far away waiting for him. In addition, there was a manager of Manchester City named Srisum Reed, who looked like an Asian. Wang Nuo had the impression that he was the executive of Manchester City. manager.

De Sutter handed Wang Nuo a pair of sunglasses, as if the whole thing was a top secret, and they quickly took him into the hotel.

"Don't let the wind out!" whispered De Sartre.

Wang Nuo didn't take it seriously in his heart, there was no rumors that could not be leaked, everyone in Liege knew who he was in contact with, and it was really stupid to wear sunglasses.

Wang Nuo followed them into the elevator and came to a meeting room on the third floor. Wang Nuo saw Manchester City's CEO Gary Cook and his financial assistant. Of course, there were some other people whom Wang Nuo didn't know very well. .

Wang Nuo immediately smelled the conspiracy in the air.

De Sutter looked tense, adrenaline-pumping, but still feigned calm.

"Hey, come here, boy! You know, Raiola has basically settled everything with us! Now there are some details left, can you decide for yourself?"

If it was the past, Wang Nuo might still be bluffed.

But now Wang Nuo's experience is much richer. He feels that De Sutter's tone is like saying, I'm going to lie to you, can you tell it?

"Sorry, I can't, I only trust Mino."

Wang Nuo looked at the beasts in suits and leather shoes in the room, and gave his own answer.

Seven or eight pairs of eyes stared at him, and no one spoke for a few seconds. Wang Nuo held his hands and was dragged into a small house next to him by Desa.

De Sutter was short of breath, chewing hard on a pinch of the thickest tobacco leaf in the world, and put a notebook under Wang Nuo's eyelids.

"What you just said is not decent! Raiola has made them very angry!"

"I'll tell you the truth now! Raiola is a bit too much, the conditions he proposed are simply unacceptable to Manchester City, but he just overturned the table and ran to nowhere!"

"Look! Manchester City came here with sincerity. We talked for more than a month and met many times! Now because Mino Raiola wants more and angered Manchester City, they are going to lose patience! "

"This is the best opportunity! There is no better club than Manchester City! Look, how much they are willing to pay you!"

De Sutter shook the notebook in his hand.

Wang Nuo looked at the notebook, which read "33000 pounds per week before tax".

"See! This will be your salary!"

I have to say that this number made Wang Nuo feel dizzy. Of course it is a lot of money, a lot of money... Oh, Wang Nuo was actually thinking in his heart, can I really get so much money?
"Is this a lot of money?" Wang Nuo asked.

"Damn, of course it's a lot." De Sutter said, "Your annual salary is less than 16 Euros now! You can calculate how many times this has been multiplied! Do you want so much money to slip away out of thin air?"

De Sutter seemed more excited than Wang Nuo, "In addition to the basic salary, there are also appearance fees, goal awards, loyalty bonuses, etc. Since I became the sports director, I have never seen a player earn so much money!"

"Just accept it!" De Sutter kept shaking Wang Nuo's shoulders, "Raiola is an insatiable guy, you have to have your own opinion! Come on, sign the contract with me! "

"Or take a step back and sign the part about your income!"

Wang Nuo was lost in thought and didn't speak.

"Manchester City are running out of patience!"

De Sutter kept repeating the same words several times like a repeater.

Wang Nuo stood in the middle of the small room, and he found that someone seemed to be peeping in through the crack of the door. When that gaze met him, he quickly disappeared.

This alarmed him.

Who would be watching then?There is no doubt that it must be from Manchester City!
All of a sudden, Wang Nuo woke up completely, and the only trace of luck in his heart disappeared.

"I will not sign any document without authorization," he said.

"Why? Raiola is your agent, and he has to take orders from you!" Desart said loudly.

Seeing De Sutter's gaffe, Wang Nuo fully understood De Sart's plan.

Mino must have hit the sore spots of both clubs with great measure, and then he flipped the table and left with confidence.

Manchester City is not necessarily ready to give up as De Sutter said.

Wang Nuo thought to himself, now that De Sutter called me here, he just regarded me as a fool and a breakthrough.

Those guys in suits and ties must still be immersed in the climax of negotiations, Mino hasn't settled my price with them at all!

When Mi Nuo was not around, he called me here all of a sudden, just because he thought that if he negotiated with me on the salary first and signed this part of the contract, the transfer would be much easier to settle!
They must all know how much money is left in the deal.

If De Sartre was shrewd and cunning enough to let me get a little less wages at Manchester City, Manchester City would be more than happy to pay Standard Liege a little more transfer fee.

After Wang Nuo figured everything out, he looked at De Sutter with a much colder gaze.

"My agent is Mino. He has full authority to complete the transfer on my behalf. I trust his operation. You should contact him first."

After Wang Nuo left such a sentence, he opened the door and walked out.

He smiled and said goodbye to the people of Manchester City, and then left in the elevator ignoring the ashen-faced De Sutter.

It was less than 5 minutes before and after he came to the hotel.

Wang Nuo put the sunglasses in his pocket and thought, before Mino got through the phone, let's go for a drive!
At this moment, Wang Nuo felt that he was really cool.
