After Zhang Qi discussed with Gao Xiaodong, after the training was over the next day, Gao Xiaodong called Pogba over, "Paul, go back with my car." ”

Pogba got on Gao Xiaodong's Land Rover, "Brother Gao, I bought a new car again." ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Change your taste." ”

Pogba said enviously: "When can I change the car casually." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "With your talent, play football well, and within three years, you can change cars at will." ”

Pogba sighed: "It's useless to play in the youth team for another 10 years. ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Why have you been playing in the youth team, isn't the team negotiating a contract with you?"

Pogba said depressedly: "What's the use of talking, they insist on a weekly salary of 20,000, saying that Macheda and Cleverley's first professional contract is also 20,000, but can the two of them compare with me." ”

Gao Xiaodong frowned, feeling that Pogba was a little floating, and he said in a deep voice: "How much did Juventus give you?"

Pogba was stunned for a moment, and under Gao Xiaodong's scorching gaze, he told the truth, "Juventus said to give me a weekly salary of 40,000 yuan, and the main rotation position." ”

Gao Xiaodong felt a little impossible, and asked, "Who promised you?"

Pogba said: "Raiola told my mother. ”

Gao Xiaodong laughed, "Paul, you are stupid, you actually believe in the fat man." ”

Pogba said in surprise: "How can Raiola's big agent deceive people?"

Gao Xiaodong laughed and said: "Who said that celebrities don't deceive people, tell you, don't believe Raiola if you believe in the devil." Gao Xiaodong immediately scandalized Raiola's story and told Pogba to listen.

Pogba listened to the letter and said suspiciously: "I didn't expect Raiola to be such a person." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "What do you think, he is a hooligan, telling you that when you sign Raiola, you can only be at his mercy." ”

Pogba ran out of ideas and said, "Brother Gao, what do you think I should do?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "What to do, Manchester United is still your best choice, Serie A is going downhill, and you are not familiar with it, why go to Serie A, don't worry, the season will end soon, and talk to Manchester United slowly when the season is over." I'm sure there will be good results. ”

Pogba said: "But Mr Raiola said that I offended Jason, the son of coach Alex Ferguson, and it was almost impossible to get ahead at Manchester United. ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "You are stupid, and you believe in the words of the fat man, tell you that Coach Ferguson is by no means such a person, if he does not use you, it can only mean that your ability does not meet his requirements, and it is definitely not a personal grudge." ”

Pogba said: "Am I not up to the level of Lord Fernandes, who can match my performance in the FA Cup and the League Cup? ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "If your ability can't meet his requirements, he won't sign a contract with you at all, but he thinks that the salary you want is too high." I think you should lower your requirements a little bit more, and if you play well on the field, your salary will naturally increase. ”

Pogba said: "But my mother said that I can't insist now, and I'm afraid that the price will be lowered if I talk about the contract in the future." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "You kid, you don't have the strength to be depressed, if you have enough strength, everyone is rushing to ask for you, and the club dares to bargain with you?"

Pogba said: "The point is that there are clubs rushing to get me now. ”

Gao Xiaodong stretched out his hand and patted the back of Pogba's head, "You stupid, who doesn't want free things, just like my car, give it to you for free, it's just a lot of burning oil, do you want it?"

Pogba said distressedly: "It's all a big team, why should I stay at Manchester United and get 20,000 instead of going to Juventus to get 40,000?"

Gao Xiaodong looked at Pogba, looking like you were still young, and said: "Wait for Juventus to give you a weekly salary of 40,000 yuan written on the contract, now everything is said by the fat man, in addition, here you are familiar with your teammates, familiar with the style of play, and I cover you, who do you count on in Juventus?"

Pogba was persuaded by Gao Xiaodong and said, "Brother Gao, I'll go home and discuss with my mother to see if the salary can be lower." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Paul, be patient, Zhang is always my friend, he is a good agent, he will give you the best interests, now the team is at a critical moment of competing for the championship, every game may determine the victory or loss of a championship, you can't have the opportunity to play, next season is your chance to play, understand?"

Pogba said: "Understood, Brother Gao, I'll go home and discuss it with my mother." ”

Seeing that Pogba's confidence was not so full, Gao Xiaodong gave Pogba another reassurance, and said: "I will personally tell him about your situation when I see the lord, and the salary is bargaining, I believe that in the end you will achieve a win-win result." ”

Pogba was very happy to hear that Gao Xiaodong was going to tell Ferguson in person, Gao Xiaodong is the winner of the Golden Ball, the core of Manchester United, and Ferguson's confidant, if he tells Ferguson, Ferguson may change his mind.

"Thank you, Brother Gao, thank you, I will definitely repay you if I succeed in the future. ”

Gao Xiaodong laughed, "I still need your kid's reward, okay, I'm at the station, go back and rest, don't think twice." ”

"Okay, goodbye Brother Gao. ”

Pogba got off the Land Rover with his waist and went home happy.

When Gao Xiaodong and Pogba were talking, Zhang Qi also came to Ferguson's office.

In the field of agents, Zhang Qi is just an insignificant little shrimp, and when he entered Ferguson's office, Ferguson only owed himself, and his ass didn't even leave his seat.

Zhang Qi didn't take it too seriously, he is in his forties, he is very familiar with the world, and he wants to gain the respect of others by strength, if Pogba has the status of Gao Xiaodong, Zhang Qi believes that Ferguson will definitely come to the door to greet him with a smile.

"Sir, I wanted to talk to you about Pogba's contract. Zhang Qi stood at Ferguson's desk and said in fluent English.

Ferguson glanced at Zhang Qi deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, there is nothing to talk about, if you want to sign a contract, it is a weekly salary of 20,000 yuan, otherwise it will be good to find another higher when the contract expires." ”

Zhang Qi said tepidly: "Sir, you will regret doing this." ”

Ferguson sneered: "What do I regret, I will regret it for an 18-year-old hairy boy who has never proven himself anything, and asked for a weekly salary of 40,000?"

Zhang Qi said: "Manchester United is unwilling to offer a weekly salary of 40,000, some clubs are willing to open, the reason why I appear in this office is not because I want to beg Manchester United to sign Pogba, in addition to because Pogba is more familiar with Manchester United and the Premier League, I still don't want Pogba to be saddled with a reputation of forgetting profit and betraying his old club." ”

Ferguson was so arrogant at first, in fact, he wanted to test Pogba's agent and put a little pressure on him, seeing that Zhang Qi had been neither humble nor arrogant, and quiet, Ferguson was secretly surprised, and said in his heart, this Chinese is very good, and he looks like a very good person.

Ferguson's expression and tone softened, and said: "Mr. Zhang, you also know that Manchester United does not want to renew the contract with Pogba, we have issued him a sincere contract, with a weekly salary of 20,000, which is the maximum salary of the first contract of the academy player, and the price is very good for a child who has not contributed anything to the team, but I didn't expect Pogba to open his mouth and ask for twice the weekly salary, Mr. Zhang, is he Gao Xiaodong, not Messi, not Ronaldo, Manchester United cannot make an exception for him." ”

Zhang Qi smiled slightly and said: "Yes, Pogba's talent cannot be compared with Xiao Dong, I knew Xiao Dong when he was very young, he is a once-in-a-century genius, but Pogba is by no means an ordinary player every year, anyone who has seen Paul play will definitely believe that he will become a very good player, you don't deny this." ”

Ferguson can't deny that with Pogba's talent, it would be conservative to say that he can be a very good player, and it can be said that without the impact of injury, Pogba will definitely become a star.

Zhang Qi continued: "Because 20,000 pounds a week, no, 15,000 pounds, is it reasonable to let go of a player who can sell for at least 20 or 30 million pounds in the future?"

Zhang Qi's attitude was gentle, polite and courteous, which made Ferguson feel good, and besides, Zhang Qi had just made it clear that he was Gao Xiaodong's friend, and Ferguson couldn't help but give a little face.

"Mr. Zhang, everyone understands this truth, but youth players have always signed contracts like this, now make an exception for Pogba, and then have to make an exception for others, if Pogba really wants money, then give him a little more bonuses and subsidies. ”

The first time we met, I got such a promise from Ferguson, which can be said to be a good result, Zhang Qi didn't get an inch, he understood the truth of taking steps for the camp, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, sir, I'll tell Paul what you mean when I go back and see what he thinks." ”

Ferguson said: "Okay, you tell Paul, he is a good young man, but don't be too impetuous, as long as you can play well, you will make a lot of money in the future." ”

"Well, I'll tell Paul that, goodbye, sir, and I won't bother you. ”

"Let's stay here for a drink in the evening. Ferguson said.

"No, sir, I still have something to do, so don't bother. ”

Before Zhang Qi and Ferguson could have a drink, he politely refused Ferguson's offer and drove away from the Carrington training base.
