"Coach Chen Ping, I'm Pini Zahavi. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hello, Mr. Zahavi. He is my agent Xu Hongtao. ”

"Hello, Mr. Xu. ”

Chen Ping met Zahavi with Xu Hongtao.

Zahavi.

This kind of top agent Chen Ping must know. Now Chen Ping is only the head coach of West Ham, and there is no chance to work with such a top agent. But when Chen Ping goes to a strong team and a giant to coach in the future, he must contact a top agent like Zahavi at that time.

The same is true for Xu Hongtao.

Although Xu Hongtao now has some geniuses, he is not a fart in European football. If you want to complete some heavyweight transfers in the future, you must contact the giants. Being able to meet top agents like Zahavi is also very good for Xu Hongtao's future.

And this time, Chen Ping also asked Zahavi.

"Mr. Zahavi, you should know. West Ham have reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and my goal is to win the Carabao Cup. And West Ham have to be promoted this season. Jermaine is our club's top scorer and I don't think I need to stress the impact of his departure on the team. ”

"I know. ”

Zahavi nodded.

According to Zahavi's status in football, in fact, this kind of transfer does not have to come forward in person, and even he does not have to come to see a coach of Chen Ping's level. Compared with Zahavi, Chen Ping's level is still too low. But Zahavi came.

It's actually quite simple.

English football is xenophobic, but there are some achievements that they are impossible to ignore. Zahavi is a predator with a very keen sense of smell. Zahavi is optimistic about Chen Ping's future, and he is even more optimistic about West Ham's young army.

West Ham's youth army is all young players in their twenties, just like the West Ham youth army back then, and of course very similar to Leeds United, which dominated English football at the beginning. Look at the players in the West Ham Academy at that time, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, all went to strong teams. Leeds United's youth army also left Leeds United and joined the strong teams. According to the situation, the current West Ham youth army will also go to the strong team in the future, what a big business.

Maybe everyone will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, so they will come in person.

"Chen, you and I are sitting here today, so I think we have already made a decision. In fact, to put it bluntly, West Ham wants money, but the last thing Chelsea lacks is money. ”

Zahavi drank a beer and spoke very calmly, as if he were chatting.

It's not like negotiating at all.

"Mr. Zahavi, you are quite right. We at West Ham are small clubs and some players are destined not to stay. But since we're leaving, as you said, we're asking for money. Defoe is our club's top scorer and his departure has had a big impact on our club. I need to use his transfer fee to bring in reinforcements. That's why I need a transfer fee, and as long as Chelsea's bid meets my psychological limit, we won't block it. Twenty million pounds, Chelsea give twenty million pounds, and Defoe can take it with him at any time. ”

"Then there is no problem. Coach Chen Ping, I don't want to get involved too deeply in Defu's transfer. I just need to say that Defoe himself is moved, and then West Ham is willing to let him go, then I will not be involved in the negotiations after that. ”

Zahavi saw Chen Ping talking about money, and immediately shook his head.

Defoe?

It's not that Zahavi doesn't want to earn commissions on Defoe's transfer, it's just that Chelsea are now inconsistent. Although Ranieri's results are not very bad, Abramovich is not very happy with Ranieri. As things stand, Ranieri's dismissal at the end of the season is almost a foregone conclusion.

And Chelsea have just poached their chief executive, Peter Kenyon, from Manchester United. Now Kenyon is Chelsea's CEO, and although Zahavi has a good personal relationship with Abramovich, it is actually a relationship of interest. Now that Kenyon has just arrived at Chelsea in a strong position, Zahavi is reluctant to clash with him.

Therefore, Zahavi is reluctant to get too involved in the transfer matter. Let's take a look at Chelsea.

Chen Ping nodded.

Originally, it was forbidden for agents to negotiate transfers on behalf of the club, but how could there be no agents in the current player transfers. In particular, the big-name agents negotiate directly on behalf of the team.

Zahavi also has such qualifications.

But since he was unwilling, Chen Ping didn't force it. Anyway, it's all about money, as long as Chelsea gives enough transfer fees, Defoe's transfer to Chen Ping can't be stopped.

"Mr. Zahavi, I know what you mean. You can tell Chelsea, £20 million, if you're sincere then send someone to negotiate with us, if you're not sincere, you don't have to come. However, Mr. Zahavi, since you don't want to be involved in this transfer negotiation, why are you here for this occasion? ”

"Me?"

Zahavi pointed to himself, then shrugged, "It's easy. Just to get to know Coach Chen Ping. Twenty-nine-year-old League One manager and soon a Premier League manager. For an agent like me, getting to know talented coaches ahead of time is a must-do. This is also an advance investment for us brokers. ”

"Thanks for the compliment. ”

"We know each other now, and I'm counting on doing business with you in the future. ”

"In that case, Mr. Zahavi, I would like to ask you for one thing. ”

"Speak. ”

Having a good relationship with a coach, especially in English football, is something that agents have to do. Zahavi is no exception. Zahavi has a good relationship with the biggest names in English football.

It's because in English football, the coach has a lot of power. It's not ten years from now, even if the Premier League coach has a lot of power in ten years, and even more so now.

Many clubs in English football don't even have the role of sporting director, because the manager is solely responsible for the competitive side of things.

"Mr. Zahavi, I heard that you have a deep relationship with Russian football. ”

"It's kind of related. ”

Zahavi nodded.

Zahawi is an Israeli and a Jewish broker. He made his fortune in Israeli football and later became active in the Jewish diaspora community through Jewish gatherings, especially in Israel.

There are a lot of foreign Jews in this community.

Here he got to know a large number of Jewish tycoons, including the current Russian oligarchs. Most of the Russian oligarchs who have emerged since the collapse of the Soviet Union are Jewish, and with this connection, Zahawi is active among the Jewish billionaires. It was because of this relationship that Abramovich met Zahavi.

It is precisely because of the acquaintance of many Russian Jewish tycoons that Zahavi's tentacles have reached into Russian football.

Here he has deep connections.

"I want to bring in a Russian player and I want Mr. Zahavi to help. ”

"Russian players?"

"Yes. ”

Transfer.

It's not something that can be done with a quote here. The less mainstream the football, the stronger the club is against the players. The club's willingness to release people and their unwillingness to release people are all the club's business.

Outsiders don't know the market, and it is difficult to complete the transfer rashly.

How many players who want to transfer but can't transfer in Chinese football are because the club is too strong.

The same is true in Russian football. This is the case with many clubs in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, who are much stronger than their players. If they are not willing to let players transfer, then it is difficult for outsiders to do anything.

West Ham, which ranking is counted. It's a giant like Manchester United, and whether Russian football is willing to give face or not is another matter. Therefore, to do business with them, you need someone like Zahawi who knows them well.

Only if they step in will the transfer be able to be completed smoothly.

"Who is it?"

"Andrei Arshavin of Zenit. In '02, he became a Russian international. I know it's a bit inappropriate to bring in a Russian international to our League One team, but we're definitely paid more than the Russian side and we're in the Premier League next season. I don't think he would say no. ”

Arshavin.

Defoe left, and Chen Ping was angry. But Chen Ping is not without a backhand. There are so many talented players in world football who are still waiting for Chen Ping to dig out, and there is one less Defoe who is afraid of anything. When Defoe left, Chen Ping's thought of a replacement was Tsar Arshavin. Although the 22-year-old Arshavin is not well-known in European football, he is a talent who will become popular in the future.

He is also a talented attacker in the front court.

Moreover, Arshavin has been in the Russian national team for almost two years, and the number of appearances in the Russian national team in the past year is to meet the conditions of labor certification. The Russian league is not a New Year's Eve, so now that the Russian league season is over, it is a good place to transfer.

"Andrei Arshavin. ”

"Yes. ”

"Isn't it outstanding?"

"It doesn't make up for the loss of Defoe's departure, but it's not bad. For us at West Ham, it can only be so. Sell a good player, buy a young player to continue developing. ”

Zahavi nodded.

Then he smiled and said, "No problem." Coach Chen Ping, I will contact Zenit immediately. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zahavi. ”

Zahavi is willing to help, and this transfer is half the battle. This is the first cooperation between Chen Ping and Zahavi, and Chen Ping believes that Zahavi will definitely give himself enough face. Moreover, Arshavin is not a superstar player now, and he is only worth two or three million pounds, and no matter how expensive it is, it cannot exceed five million pounds.

Not a difficult transfer.

"It's a pleasure to work with Coach Chen Ping. ”
