Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 533 The Most Successful Transaction

Zhang Yang secretly returned to China on a flight from New York to SH City.

If it starts from London, it will definitely be noticed by media reporters. There will also be a lot of latest news in China, many fans will come to greet it, and many media will come to interview.

Flying out of New York is different.

Few of the media knew that Zhang Yang was in New York. He also booked a ticket to return suddenly, which did not attract the attention of the media. Zhang Yang only had his agent Andy, his assistant Ruan Hailong, and two bodyguards with him. The itinerary was very low-key.

But Zhang Yang's reputation is too great, as long as anyone who cares about European football will know him, and he was recognized on the plane. Fortunately, he was sitting in the VIP cabin, and he was not surrounded by strong crowds. He only talked with people who were traveling with him. , took a group photo together and left a thought.

When arriving at SH International Airport, Zhang Yang was recognized again.

This time it's a little more troublesome.

Zhang Yang greeted those who recognized him with a smile, then quickly left the airport and got into the prepared car. He was not against the fans, but it would be troublesome to be recognized, especially in public places, when a group of people gathered around, It's hard to leave.

This is the problem with stars.

The car didn't stop at all, and drove all the way to the home in SZ City. Zhang Zhongyi and cheap stepmother were already waiting.

There is no need to talk about the excitement of a family reunion.

That night, his younger brother Zhang Chen had an incident with his cheap stepmother. Zhang Chen wanted to enroll in the football school. He said he wanted to become a football star. The cheap stepmother firmly opposed it. Zhang Zhongyi also held objections, but Zhang Chen was young and had a very stubborn personality. , how do not listen to advice.

Zhang Yang also felt that Zhang Chen was too young.

But football training must start from a baby. If you want to be a star in the future, the time is almost the same now, and it is time to participate in professional training.

Zhang Zhongyi asked Zhang Yang for his opinion, and the whole family also looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang is the most promising member of his family, and he is also an internationally renowned football coach. His opinion is very important. After Zhang Yang thought about it, he said, "Chenchen can go to a professional youth football coaching course and only use his spare time. If he can play If you are top-notch, you have the potential to cultivate, otherwise you can only focus on learning."

This suggestion is still pertinent.

Zhang Chen is very grateful for Zhang Yang's support, but the cheap stepmother is a little entangled, because playing football may delay his studies.

Zhang Zhongyi finally made a final decision and said, "Our family's conditions don't mean that we must study well. If we have the ability, we will study abroad in the future. It's like Yang Yang. Isn't it good now?"

After hearing this, the cheap stepmother finally nodded.

Zhang Yang smiled slightly and didn't say anything else. He was looking forward to Zhang Chen learning to play football. If his younger brother really had potential, he would definitely train him patiently. He is a football coach and his younger brother is a star player. After more than ten years, his younger brother Will you play for your own team?
At that time, give Zhang Chen a "spiritual bewitchment", even if his ability level is average, he may be able to become a top star.

That was really interesting.

At that time, I will be the most famous coach in China, and my younger brother will be the most famous football star. The two brothers 'ruled' Chinese football.

cough cough...

Zhang Yang felt that he was still thinking a little too far.

Zhang Yang only stayed at home for one day, and had to return to SH City the next day to participate in the sports program on Central TV.

This has been discussed long ago.

Not only Zhang Yang was involved, but Millwall Club was also involved. Before the Champions League final, Central TV sent a column team to Millwall Club to film the column.

Now is the final finishing touch, Zhang Yang will go to the scene for an interview.

In addition to Zhang Yang, Central TV also invited Captain Morris, who is already in SH, and he came to China to participate in the program, one is to promote his fame, and the other is also commercial.

Just two hours of interview and filming, Morris can get 600 million yuan.

Central TV’s investment in this column is still relatively large, because Zhang Yang will show his face in the program, and will interact with fans on the spot to talk about some coaching topics. The predicted ratings will definitely be very high. More than 5000 million people, and the subsequent broadcast and network ratings will continue to rise. It is estimated that the total number of people covered will reach nearly [-] million people. There will also be many foreign fans who will click to watch the filming column.

With such influence, no amount of investment is worth it.

Zhang Yang met Jody Morris at the shooting site of the column. The two met and talked about the vacation. Morris had a very noisy vacation and spent most of his time running around doing various business activities.

This is also a kind of helplessness.

Morris was at his peak, and after two years, his state began to decline. Taking advantage of the glory of the team winning the Triple Crown, his reputation also soared, so he participated in more business activities to increase his personal direct income. Accumulate capital for the life of retirement in the future.

This is a normal worry for many stars.

A well-known star will have a very high career income. After retiring, the situation will completely change. He will no longer have a high salary and can only find other jobs. Some outstanding players will work as coaches, but not many can succeed in coaching. , most of them ended in failure, some will also engage in football-related work, but their income will also drop a lot, and some will change careers, for example, some players will make investments, and some players will change careers to become football commentators and commentators. Some people go to college again and find an ordinary job, but no matter how they choose, not many can continue to maintain a high salary. Whether they will succeed in the future is also full of uncertainty. Taking advantage of the glorious period of their career , earning more money is still very important.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, the program of Central TV officially started.

The first 10 minutes of the program have already been filmed. Under the introduction of the TV host, the training screen of Millwall is shown, and then the Millwall team will go to Athens, Greece, before the match against Chelsea. Situation of entering the hotel.

There will be Millwall players in the screen, and the shots of Zhang Yang are indispensable.

There is a scene in which Zhang Yang explained the tactics of the team to the whole team. Makes people feel great.

Then it's the official game.

The game was too long, so it was skipped, and there were scenes of key goals in the middle.

Zhang Yang looked at all the pictures carefully, and there was only one feeling in his heart, "Sure enough, he is a professional TV program!"

Throughout the video process, it is highlighted that Millwall is working hard, and every player is working hard, as if the usual rhythm of the conversation is——
"The Champions League is about to begin!"

"I will definitely try my best!"

"We will definitely win!"

"come on!"

"come on!"

"Keep going!"

"..."

But in fact, the situation is definitely not like this. The atmosphere in the team is still relaxed on weekdays. Even in the face of the Champions League final, it is normal for a few players to cheat and play tricks in training.

Among them is a picture of Vardy continuously juggling the ball, as if the football had never fallen to the ground. He also used various fancy movements to greatly increase the enjoyment of juggling the ball. At that time, Zhang Yang was next to him. What he saw was, Vardy made a bet with Braniff, saying that he could use a certain action to complete many times in a row, but he failed continuously. Occasionally, he succeeded once, and was dismissed by Braniff. Afterwards, the two of them acted like children. Fighting together.

This incident was reflected on the camera, and it became Vardy's resolute efforts to juggle the ball, as if juggling the ball has become a very important training.

Ok.

Finally, when the video was all over, Zhang Yang returned to his seriousness and smile, and the camera turned to the shooting scene. The live broadcast must have a good performance. Even Morris became more stable, and it can even be said that he became nervous, because he heard It is said that the program is broadcast to one billion people, even if only one tenth of them watch it, it is quite a number, enough to make Morris, who maintains the concept of "a few million is more people" in his mind, become nervous and serious , with a little excitement.

After the camera cut, the host helped introduce Zhang Yang and Morris.

Zhang Yang speaks Mandarin, and Morris certainly speaks English, but he was asked to speak at a faster rate and provided with a temporary translator.

There were not many opportunities for Morris to speak, and most of the conversations were between Zhang Yang and the host.

The host conducted an on-site interview and asked three prepared questions. Zhang Yang answered them one by one according to the prepared answers.

This is memorizing lines, and it doesn't make sense to say them.

Then came the more critical link, which was to interact with the fans in front of the TV. Many fans would call the hotline, and if they were lucky, they would be connected to the live broadcast room of the program, and then they could ask Zhang Yang and Morris directly.

The fans' questions are still very interesting, but the first question stumped Zhang Yang.

"Who is the best player at Millwall?" The fan who answered the phone said a lot, and the words were a little emotional, but that's about it.

Zhang Yang said with a wry smile, "Millwall has many outstanding players, but it's really hard to say the best." He pointed at Morris and joked, "If I say here that other players are the best, Josh must be very dissatisfied. "

The host laughed.

Morris was a little confused, so he asked the translator when switching shots to understand.

Zhang Yang continued, "Since I asked, I will comment on my players. In my team, there are many outstanding players who can be said to be the top players in the world. Morris is one of them."

"In terms of last season's performance, the best striker was Bent, there were more outstanding players in the midfield, Braniff also played well, and Pires was very stable. Quaresma has more injuries..."

"The back line Ward and Zambrotta, the two pillars, I read the comments of the fans, they used this word to describe..."

After Zhang Yang briefly commented on the team's performance, he faced the second question, "Have you received an invitation from a wealthy club? Have you considered joining a wealthy club? Will you still coach Millwall next season?"

For fans, this is uncertain news.

Zhang Yang did not release any specific news about his departure or stay. The media had some speculations, and there were many news in the reports, but there were no accurate ones at all.

Zhang Yang said with certainty, "I will stay at Millwall because there is no reason to leave." Then he explained, "Several clubs have invited me, such as Chelsea, Liverpool, as well as Italian and Spanish teams. , I know about these invitations, but I have clearly rejected them. Again, I have no reason to leave. Millwall is a team I built with my own hands. It is too far away and full of uncertainties, but at least next season, I will stay. Come down and teach."

This is a very clear answer.

The next third question is very interesting. A fan asked Zhang Yang whether he would coach the national football team. Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I am the head coach of Millwall now, and I have not considered coaching the national team."

He did not explicitly refuse, but said, "Coaching a national team is different from a club. The club's players are fixed, while the national team recruits players from various clubs. The two are very different. If you have the opportunity to coach the national team in the future , I'm sure it would be a completely different experience, and I'm not sure if I can do it well."

Then Zhang Yang answered a few questions one after another. When the time was almost up, the last fan who connected wanted to comment on the stars of the world football. More, if you want to be more specific, I think Messi in Barcelona is very good, and C-Ronaldo in Manchester United is also a very good player, and they all have a brilliant future."

"My teams, such as Livermore and Braniff, are very good. I believe they can go further in the future."

Then Zhang Yang talked about a few more names, basically all the stars who will stir up the situation in the future.

Many fans noticed that most of Zhang Yang talked about "newcomers". Barcelona's Messi is an example. Now Messi is not very famous. He is just an excellent young man in Barcelona. Many fans don't know this. Name, when I heard what Zhang Yang said, I couldn't help but look up who Messi is. It doesn't matter if I check it, I immediately found out that Messi is outstanding--
Young, core, Ronaldinho's replacement, performing extremely well.

and many more.

These can all be placed on Messi.

However, Messi is a Barcelona player, and it is almost impossible to leave Barcelona. Zhang Yang has no interest in Messi at all, and just talked about it casually.

The show is almost over here.

Then it was the host's turn to conduct some interviews with Zhang Yang and Morris, basically memorizing the lines. In the end, Zhang Yang did not forget to help Millwall to promote the "China Tour" from the end of July to the beginning of August.

After the recording of the program, Zhang Yang rested for one night, and started a series of business trips in the morning of the next day, including participating in the program, recording commercials, and being invited to visit the club and get in touch with people who develop football in China.

After that, Zhang Yang and his party returned to London.

London still has a lot of work to do.

Zhang Yang went to New York for a month and stayed in China for less than five days. The time has already entered July, and the transfer work of the halfway club has made a lot of progress.

First, is to leave.

Darren Bent's transfer and departure is the most sensational news in European football, even overshadowing the Spanish golden boy Torres joining Liverpool. He left with a worth of 4550 million pounds. Such a high figure represents the performance of the past year. , with the identity of the Premier League and Champions League double golden boots, it is only natural that the transfer will cause a sensation in the world.

In addition, Quaresma also returned to Porto with a transfer fee of 1500 million pounds. He is equivalent to doing a "premier season tour" and played for Millwall for only one season, which is almost returned at the original price.

That's pretty good.

Many players who go to other clubs and are often injured and perform generally will have a decline in value. Quaresma performed very well, but there are a lot of injuries. Porto considers the lack of players on the right and wants to buy back Quaresma. Porto also thinks it has made a profit, because Quaresma followed Millwall and won the "Triple Crown". Such experience must have greatly improved Quaresma's ability. I believe that returning to Porto will perform even better outstanding.

Jimmy Traore and Sean Davies, who were re-promoted to the Premier League by Portsmouth, were snapped up for £900m.

Portsmouth was re-promoted to the Premier League, but they didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. They fell again due to poor results. They regrouped and made a lot of investment in the transfer market.

Jimmy Traore and Sean Davis are both players who meet the needs of Portsmouth. They can only be regarded as substitute players in Millwall. Among them, Davis played more and Traore less , but both are experienced players.

Davis once played for Tottenham, and Traore played for Liverpool. In an ordinary team, they can easily be the main players.

Portsmouth wants to rely on players with stable performance such as Davis and Traore to stabilize the team's performance in the league.

In addition to the above normal transfer players, Harman, Smicer, and Hislop also left on free transfers.

Where there is transfer-out, there is transfer-in.

As the newly promoted Champions League champion and the Premier League team that won the 'Triple Crown', Millwall is still very attractive. In July, the most successful transaction in the club's transfer department was in the hands of Real Madrid , grabbed the Dutch midfielder Sneijder.

Millwall is the newly promoted Champions League champion and a team that has already risen, but compared with Real Madrid, an old European giant, the gap in attractiveness is still not small.

When it was learned that Real Madrid was asking for a high price to buy Sneijder, the club's transfer department was a little discouraged, but they still made a normal offer, which was 100 million euros higher than Real Madrid's.

Sneijder's worth is not low.

Real Madrid's first offer reached 2000 million euros in 200. After that, Ajax did not let go, and they raised another 600 million euros. After Millwall joined, Real Madrid raised the price to [-] million euros EUR.

Millwall reported 700 million euros.

Both parties knew that this kind of competition would not yield good results. The final price was set at 700 million euros, and neither of them asked for a higher price. The decision rested in Sneijder's hands.

In order to manage a successful transfer and reduce the pressure caused by players leaving, Wilkinson personally traveled to the Netherlands and met Sneijder himself. The two found a quiet place to chat, and finally Wei Wilkinson convinced Sneijder.

"Real Madrid has a lot of stars, you don't necessarily have a place there."

"If you come to Millwall, you will be the absolute main force. You should know that our original winger, Quaresma has left. On the other hand, Pires is also old, so as long as you want to play, you will definitely be able to play. .”

"Our head coach, Zhang Yang, is very good at using players. Every player in the team can perform well. At Millwall, you don't have to worry about performance."

"Going to Real Madrid will be full of uncertainty, and Millwall will guarantee you to play and get the attention of the world..."

Sneijder considered it and finally decided to join Millwall.

Perhaps Zhang Yang’s personal charm played a role. After Millwall won the Champions League, all of Europe reported on Millwall and Zhang Yang. Many Dutch media also analyzed and reported on Zhang Yang, pointing out that he is very good at The reason for using players is that most of the players in the Millwall team performed very well on the field, and even Quaresma, who is often injured, can perform well as long as he plays.

The media analyzed the reasons and pointed directly at Millwall's tactics.

"Zhang Yang is the kind of head coach who builds tactics based on player abilities. This ensures the performance of players in every position."

Sneijder had read these reports, and his agent believed that it would be more beneficial to join Real Madrid, but considering Real Madrid's competitive pressure and an uncertain future, he finally chose Millwall.
