Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 23 Unspoken Rules (second more, ask for monthly pass!)

At first Niang thought it was just a matter of Dalglish forgetting to sign wing players. He didn't expect that it might be much more complicated now.

He had better talk to Chen Xing about this kind of thing, after all, he would get the support and authorization of Chen Xing next-he wanted to take back the transfer right from Dalglish's hands. In other words, the transfer is not in Dalglish's control. The head coach Dalglish has the right to make suggestions on who the team buys and sells, but he has no right to decide. The decision is in Niang's hands.

This is normal in clubs in Italy, Spain and Germany, except in England. England is a manager responsible system, but this manager does not refer to general managers like Niang, but the head coach of the team. They are called "managers" in England, not "coaches."

In England’s teams, the head coach, that is, the manager, is in control. The team is in charge of everything, ranging from the construction of the team to the vests worn by the players during training and the shower in the locker room. The sprinklers belong to them.

Among them, the most important thing they value is the right to transfer.

Because they often know their teams best. They know what kind of team they want, which players they want to introduce and which players they want to sell.

So letting them lead the transfer is good for the team itself.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. The monopoly of the head coach will not only make the team more effective and stable, but it will also lead to the emergence of dictators. Especially in terms of transfer rights, it is easy to bring some black gold benefits.

Because the team's transfer is all the head coach has the final say, he said he wants to buy who, the club will pay for him. As for why you need to buy this person, the head coach has a lot of opinions. For example, this player club needs this player, this player is a local player, this player is willing to come, this player is cheap, this player has potential, this player... Anyway, the reasons are all People came up with it.

The head coach can draw his own commission from this transfer transaction for profit. In fact, this is not allowed, but it is very common in English football.

Generally speaking, when players transfer, it is the agent who benefits, so the agent hopes that the players will transfer frequently. In the constant transfer, the players' worth and wages are getting higher and higher. In this way, the broker can remember to draw his own proportion. But a player who wants to transfer does not necessarily succeed, because he wants to leave his old club and go to another team, requiring the consent of the head coaches of the two teams.

In this way, the agent will naturally go to the head coach of public relations and promise to give them a percentage of the commission if the transfer is successful. In order to get the money, the head coaches will naturally try their best to facilitate this transfer transaction. They will use various means to pressure the club and tell the club that his team really needs this player.

It is not uncommon to receive rebates in many industries in China. Although it is normal, it is not necessarily the right approach. Similarly, when coaches in England sell players and introduce players, they will ask player agents or even opposing clubs straightforwardly for kickbacks. This is nothing new-if the head coach of a professional football club is in a football agent Is it appropriate to own shares in a company and directly trade with these agents when buying and selling players? If the agents dealing with the coaches happen to be their relatives or even their sons, is this situation reasonable?

The above is not nonsense, but the facts that actually happened in English football. Proactive, the most famous sports agent company in the United Kingdom, was once the largest sports agent company in the United Kingdom. It has a number of head coach shareholders within the company. The head coaches and players of many teams own a certain number of shares in this company. , Listen to the names of these shareholders-Bobby Robson, Gram Souness, Steve Koper, Howard Wilkinson, Kyle Keegan, Sam Allardys …Of course these names are from 2002. Some people sold their shares due to pressure from public opinion, but no one is willing to explain to the public why they own shares in this company or why. Many of the transfer transactions between these coaches and clubs are done within this brokerage company. A player from one shareholder is transferred to another shareholder. The brokerage company receives a commission. Two shareholders can also Therefore profit, this is a typical "conflict of interest."

Even in China, many people often talk about the requirement of "justice, openness, fairness and transparency". But in the English football circle, these things are hidden in dark corners, and no one in the circle wants to be fair, open, fair and transparent for everyone to see. They take it for granted, which is the rule of the game in this circle. Those who rely on football to survive will naturally eat football.

Tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of pounds, of transfer fees circulate in the market every season. Professional players, especially the Premier League, earn astronomical wages every season. Can fans be sure that they are passed on from generation to generation. The decision made by the supporting club on the player transaction is in the interests of the fans?

After understanding these back stories, it is not difficult to understand why there are so many inexplicable transfer transactions that no one can understand every summer and winter.

Of course, this kind of commission is not the patent of English football, but in other countries, the profit-making person has changed from the head coach to the general manager of the club or the head of the athletic department who is responsible for the transfer.

Of course Niang knew the unspoken rules in this circle, and he also knew that there would be no fish when the water was clear. The head coach does not care about making some money if conditions permit, as long as the people they bring are helpful to the team.

It's like when Mijatović spent 30 million euros when he was the manager of Real Madrid to bring central defender Pepe from Porto. Pepe was not well-known at the time. Many people thought that the money was Real Madrid's victory. Later, some people speculated that Real Madrid Chairman Calderon and General Manager Mijatović must have received some rebates in this transfer transaction. Otherwise, how could a lesser-known central defender be sold for 30 million euros? ? In fact, it did collect money, but after Pepe's arrival, it added hardness to Real Madrid's defense. Now he is Real Madrid's well-deserved main central defender, the iron gate.

As a result, everyone gradually forgot the discord between Calderon and Mijatović.

Niang also had the same thought. If Tangning could really improve the strength of the domestic team, it would not be impossible to spend 20 million. The problem is that he thinks that Tangning will not be of much use after coming to Liverpool, and the team has to pay him a high salary. Although Tangning said that he loves Liverpool very much, it is impossible to expect him to drop his weekly salary to join his favorite team because of his love.

That being the case, I spent 20 million to buy him what to do, is it fun to be taken advantage of?

Niang told Chen Xing about the incident.

After listening to Chen Xing, he didn't slap the table and scolded his mother furiously, but laughed: "Use PS video as an advertisement? Aston Villa is really thinking about it. I was wondering if we asked for it too. Our own multimedia department also does this kind of public relations? For example, players like Joe Cole can be sold like this... It must be more convincing than Tangning, haha!"

After laughing, he said to Niang: "You are right, Tangning can't buy it, and we have to gradually withdraw the transfer right. Now more and more English clubs are beginning to let the general manager of the club be responsible for the transfer,'King' We must also recognize this trend. His old style can't be played anymore. He can suggest, but he doesn't count."

With Chen Xing’s support, what should Niang Nature’s Way do? Of course he won’t go directly to Dalglish and say to him: "Hey, old man! From now on we will take back what you have You have the right to transfer! In the future, you will be in charge of the transfer. If you are someone who tells me, I will decide if I should buy it!"

This is too stupid, he is not a person with zero EQ.

There are many ways to make Dalglish Way unable to be the Lord. It is better to have an excellent opportunity in front of him now!

"...Kenny Dalglish once again announced Liverpool's interest in Downing. He thinks Downing is a very talented player. He will definitely become a new legend in this stadium when he comes to Anfield!"

"Liverpool's'King' hopes to bring Downing to Anfield. At present, this Aston Villa player is caught in transfer rumors...Liverpool has invested heavily in the introduction of high center forward Chen Yingxiong this summer. He is good Long header. Obviously Dalglish wants to make full use of the hero's advantage in headers, so he needs excellent wide players..."

"Tangning himself was flattered by Liverpool's interest in him. He said that he was a Liverpool fan since he was a kid, but he did not say that he will definitely move to Liverpool. He and Aston Villa have a contract... "

In the past two days, many English media have paid attention to the news that Liverpool coach Kenny Dalglish is pursuing Downing. Downing was truly amazing when he debuted in Middlesbrough, and was considered by the English media to be England's future star and England's wide player for the next ten years. However, considering that the English media have always used exaggerated and exaggerated rhetoric, Downing's true level is indeed questionable...

How did Dalglish respond to such transfer rumors?

"Yes, I am very interested in Tangning. He is a very good player. I hope he can join Liverpool. Yes, we have heroes now. We need a wide player who can break through and pass the ball, Tangning. Is the best person in my mind..."

Niang looked at these remarks in the newspaper and laughed.

Is this using the media to put pressure on me?

This trick is neither new nor technical.
