55. Pato is engaged
Zhang Sheng is also powerless about Zhang Linpeng's situation, and only hopes that next season Lajianli can loan Zhang Linpeng to a better club, otherwise, his current position in the national team will be difficult to protect. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After Zhang Xizhe left, Zhang Sheng received a call from Ding Kun, the general manager of the club, who had arrived as a candidate for the club's commercial operations director, Shi Zhiqiang, and he wanted Zhang Sheng to attend the meeting.
Zhang Sheng resolutely refused Ding Kun's kindness, and he once again expressed his attitude that he would no longer participate in the team's training and outside the game.
When Zhang Sheng returned home from the day's work, Zhang Zhijun called Zhang Sheng over and introduced to him the results of today's conversation with Shi Zhiqiang.
"This guy is very nice. Zhang Zhijun said happily, "I also talked to him today, he has a lot of experience in business operations, and his comprehensive quality is also a rare talent for me in recent years." ”
Of course, Zhang Sheng knew in his heart that the system gave out all the good things, but he still looked surprised on the surface: "That's great." In the future, I can completely rest assured about the commercial operation of the club. ”
Zhang Zhijun said regretfully: "If it weren't for your club, I really wanted to get him to the group headquarters, talent is rare." ”
Zhang Zhijun's words can be said to be the greatest affirmation of Shi Zhiqiang's ability.
"I decided to give him one percent of the club's stake as an option share. Zhang Sheng expressed his thoughts, "I believe that after his arrival, the club will improve greatly in terms of sponsorship and other aspects." ”
Zhang Zhijun was absolutely noncommittal to Zhang Sheng, and said lightly: "You are more familiar with football than me, you can make your own decisions." ”
Don't look at the only one percent of the option shares that Zhang Sheng took out, this is already a lot.
In terms of the actual assets of the club, Guangzhou Evergrande was only worth 375 million yuan in total share capital when it was listed, but after several private placements, the value of the team came to 2.4 billion.
If you count the market capitalization, it's amazing.
Guangzhou Evergrande in November 2015 just landed on the new third board, in March of the following year, Evergrande Taobao completed the first transaction at a price of 55 yuan / share of 36,000 shares, according to this transaction price, Evergrande Taobao market value once reached 3.35 billion US dollars, one fell swoop surpassed Real Madrid's 3.26 billion US dollars, becoming the highest market value football club in the world.
Of course, most of this is the result of capital operation and does not reflect the actual price of the club.
As the veritable top brand of the Chinese Super League, once listed, his value will not be much lower than that of Guangzhou Evergrande, as long as Zhang Sheng continues to lead the club to develop in this way, it is likely to surpass Guangzhou Evergrande.
Then the value of this one percent of the option shares is quite large.
As a business elite, Shi Zhiqiang clearly saw the future market of Chinese football, and after some negotiations, he soon joined the club.
At the same time, two coaches called by the system also came to the club, and the two of them were also the elite of the club after the reform through the new human resources section.
After dealing with these things, Zhang Sheng still has a very important thing to do, which is to attend Pato's engagement banquet, which is something that has been decided a long time ago.
Since Zhang Sheng accidentally broke the ambiguity between Pato and Lu Shuang in the team's gym last year, Pato and Lu Shuang simply made the relationship clear to everyone, and the show of affection that was still hiding before became feeding dog food in public.
Due to his heroic performances in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League, Pato is naturally the target of the media.
The two of them are so unabashedly in and out, of course, they have not escaped the sharp eyes of the news media, according to their urine nature, they can't wait to make up a story to make a big news, and now such an obvious thing has of course become the news they compete to report.
It was at that time that as long as fans who followed the Chinese Super League basically knew about this bizarre exotic relationship.
Pato, who had long been accustomed to living under the flash, still enjoyed this situation at first, but he was sensitive and soon noticed that Lu Shuang was not comfortable with such a life, and at the same time, the changes in Lu Shuang's heart touched him even more.
As a single mother who has been hurt by life, a more introverted Chinese woman, even if she cares a lot about her relationship with Pato, she still has a great need for a sense of security.
After noticing Lu Shuang's changes, Pato had an open and honest conversation with her, and he quickly gave his answer: "Let's get engaged." ”
Since Lu Shuang needs a sense of security, the name and title of his fiancée is the greatest comfort to Lu Shuang at this stage.
Lu Shuang was very happy with Pato's proposal, and she readily agreed to Pato's request.
Soon Pato told Zhang Sheng the news of the successful marriage proposal, and told Zhang Sheng that the two of them would have an engagement ceremony during the league break, and then wait until the end of the league to hold the wedding.
This is also the reason why Lu Shuang watched Pato's games several times in a row and was swept by the broadcast camera, and with the identity of her fiancée, she no longer cares about the camera that frequently focuses on her.
Pato's engagement ceremony was not very grand this time, except for his parents and agent Jurabuzian, only a few friends who had a very good relationship, such as Formula 1 driver Massa, and other friends basically sent their blessings through various social media, such as his former teammate and good friend Kaka. More of the guests are now Longteng players.
As for Lu Shuang's side, it is a pity that her parents did not show up at the engagement wedding, and her parents were very resistant to marrying a foreigner and someone from South America again, and it was Professor Xie Chaozhong of the Sports Institute who finally came out to act as her elder.
At the beginning, Professor Xie Chaozhong helped introduce Lu Shuanglai to be Pato's personal translator, which can be regarded as indirectly contributing to this marriage.
As for He Qin, as Lu Shuang's good friend and best friend, he was a bridesmaid for Lu Shuang.
Although none of the media were allowed to participate in the engagement ceremony, it did not prevent them from reporting on it, and soon the news of Pato's engagement was full of sports news headlines.
Of course, news like Pato's engagement is destined to only be hot for a day or two, because the clubs that are in the second transfer period of the Chinese Super League have used their own tricks - to grab the headlines.
The first thing to be revealed is that the former superstar - Xiao Luo will join Guangzhou Evergrande.
As a rare elf-like player in football history, Xiao Luo's fame can be described as extraordinary, even if his form has declined rapidly because of his irregular off-field life, and now he can only play in the Mexican league, but when the two names Guangzhou Evergrande and Xiao Luo are linked, it is still enough to attract attention.
The media that broke the news said that in the 02 South Korea-Japan World Cup, Scolari and Xiao Luo cooperated very happily and won the Hercules Cup for Brazil, so Scolari, who is now coaching Guangzhou Evergrande, hopes that Xiao Luo can play under him.
And now that Ronaldo has indeed left the team because of the conflict with the coach of the Mexican club Querétaro Manuel, it is true that this news is not so groundless.
Zhang Sheng knows that this is not nonsense, after Scolari came to the club, he did have the idea of introducing players who coached the Brazilian national team before, and now the time for Elkeson and Alan to return from injury is still unknown, Goulart also has a small injury, and it is understandable to introduce players he trusts.
However, previously, Evergrande's senior management had released news that "no more foreign aid over 30 years old will be introduced", and the Goulart and Alan they introduced at the beginning of this year all meet this condition. Therefore, now there is a sudden scandal between Evergrande and Xiao Luo, although it is incredible. Perhaps, Scolari did consider bringing in Ronaldo, and the arrival of Robinho as a candidate confirmed that idea.
When the scandals between Guangzhou Evergrande and Xiao Luo were spread all over the world, another transfer scandal of a former top European player came out, that is, Malian defender Mohamed Sissoko, who is now playing for Levante in La Liga.
The reason why he is said to have been a former is because he has reached the age of 30 and is not in good condition now.
Sissoko, who made his name in Valencia in La Liga, has an illustrious resume and has played for many of Europe's biggest clubs, including Liverpool, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, and his highlights during his time at Liverpool have led the media to say that he is better than Vieira at the same time.
It's just that since leaving Liverpool, Sissoko has been plagued by injuries, and even if he can still find a place in the big team, he is basically no longer as brave as he used to be.
Now playing for Levante, Sissoko only played 21 league games for Levante last season, only playing the full five games, and even Simao, who had been in the Chinese Super League, ranked ahead of him in the appearance.
Levante has a tradition of exporting players to the Chinese Super League, and they have sent many players such as Nano and Rafa to the Chinese Super League, so Sissoko began to inquire about the possibility of playing in the Chinese Super League as early as last year, and now that the season is over, he who refuses to play as a substitute in Levante has inquired through his agent in many ways, wanting to get a place in the Chinese Super League.
Zhang Sheng knew that Sissoko did transfer to Shanghai Shenhua for half a season, and his ability and performance were undoubted, but unfortunately the talent of glass attributes made him always injured in Shenhua, and finally he could only be reduced to playing in the Indian league.
Shanghai Shenhua is also closely linked by two outstanding players who have played in Europe, one is Ivory Coast striker Seydou Dombia, who now plays for Roma, and the other is Senegalese striker Demba Ba, who now plays for Turkish Super League giants Besiktas.
These two African sharpeners are not small.
Dombia is the quintessential African striker, he is very strong, has great speed, has a reputation for finding the opposition goal in the middle of the road, and has an excellent sense of grabbing points.
He has played for teams such as Kashiwa Helios in Japan and CSKA Moscow in Russia, especially when he played for CSKA Moscow, where he won the league top scorer twice and won the Russian Footballer of the Year twice. At its peak, Dombia was worth €25 million, and although it has recently slipped due to poor performances at Roma, it remains at €20 million. If he can really land in the Chinese Super League, Dombia will surpass Goulart and become the most valuable player in the entire league.
And the strength of Demba Ba, another African striker, is not weaker than Dombia.
The 189-centimeter-tall striker has an extremely strong body, whether it is scoring eight goals in 10 games in the Bundesliga, helping the team to create the "Hochon Miracle" in the Bundesliga, or scoring 14 goals in one season as a substitute striker at Chelsea, and finally scoring 27 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions in Besiktas, all of which show him to be an extremely effective striker.
Zhang Sheng knew that Demba Ba did show a state far beyond the Super League after coming to the Chinese Super League, and later if it wasn't for the accidental serious injury and broken leg, the top scorer of the Super League that year should be him.
I only hope that after he comes to the Chinese Super League, there will be no more tragedies like in history.
In fact, it is not only Shanghai Shenhua that is associated with Dombia, but also another veteran Chinese Super League powerhouse, Beijing Jingguoan, has been linked with him earlier.
However, Luo Ning did not live up to the impression that everyone had always had on him of "talking big and spending small money".
As early as before the break in the Chinese Super League, there were rumors that Beijing Guoan wanted to bring in Dombia, and made an offer of 14 million euros for rent-to-buy and buy-out.
But then Beijing Guoan 12 million euros to pursue Varys, 25 million euros to buy Sevilla striker Baca gossip news endlessly, when Beijing Guoan has been delayed, rumors are getting more and more outrageous, what to introduce Italian international-level stars, worth seven or eight million dollars or even higher, and even rumors that there are agents who have submitted Muric's information to the Guoan Club, he is also expected to join the Royal Forest Army, and Chinese football will continue to be the frontier and so on.
Only Zhang Sheng knew that in the end, Guoan introduced the most "water" foreign aid in the history of the team - Kleber.
Whether Kleber is a parallel import, whether he has the ability or not, Zhang Sheng doesn't want to argue, but his performance during the Beijing Guoan period is really not worthy of his worth of $4.3 million.
The transfer rumors that came out of this intermission in the Chinese Super League are very different from the previous ones, that is, as long as the rumored players are at least international players who can enter the World Cup, including Paulinho, Gian, Salihovic and other players who are worth more than 10 million euros in Germany, and even players like Sissoko and Gudjohnsson have had extremely brilliant resumes.
At least from these rumors, it can be seen that the current Chinese Super League is no longer an era where you can do big things with little money, and it is outdated to expect to rely on low prices to Taobao to find players, because no team can afford the consequences of failing to recruit them.
Except, of course, the Dragons.
For example, in addition to casually browsing the transfer rumors, Zhang Sheng now also focuses on the national team and the U19 national youth team, and he spends more time preparing for the upcoming league.
