Steve Raleigh was about to talk to Arsene Wenger about the Chinese boy, and after watching the match between Newcastle Under-19 and Chelsea's Under-19 team, he returned home and watched the video of the match between Newcastle and Arsenal Under-19 that Wenger handed over. To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to ()

Steve Raleigh had just turned out of the staircase when he saw the door to Arsene Wenger's office open and the professor coming out of the room.

The professor also saw Steve Raleigh, and when he saw him, he waved happily: "It seems that you came in time, I was about to go out." Are you looking for me? Steve. Before the latter could speak, Wenger smiled and continued: "Let me guess." Why did you come to me...... I think I know. ”

Steve Raleigh nodded: "That's right, that's it." ”

Then the two of them said the name together: "Yang!"

Arsene Wenger welcomed Steve Raleigh into his office and poured the veteran a cup of coffee: "Tell me, Steve, what do you think of that kid?"

"I agree with you earlier. That kid's future should be at Arsenal. Arsna, bring him to Arsenal. Steve Raleigh said.

This surprised Wenger, he didn't expect Steve Raleigh to have such a good impression of Yang Fan, and he didn't hide his admiration at the beginning.

"Let's be specific. Arsene Wenger nodded.

"That's all I have to say. Steve Rowley handed the 20-page printout to the Arsenal manager, "This is what I wrote after watching the Newcastle youth team against Chelsea youth team and synthesizing the long game in the video. You take a look first. ”

"Hmm. Arsene Wenger nodded, took the information, put on his eyes, and looked at it seriously.

'What was the score of the Newcastle youth team against Chelsea youth team?' Wenger asked as he watched.

"Four to one!" replied Steve Raleigh, "Newcastle won. ”

"Oh, how does the kid behave?" Wenger asked.

'Three goals and another hat-trick. Steve Raleigh said.

Wenger looked up, a look of surprise on his face, and then the professor smiled, "Nice boy." ”

"It's really good, I'm optimistic about him. "Steve Raleigh is right.

Hearing his most important right-hand man say this, Wenger was silent for a while, did not say anything, but seriously continued to read the analysis report on Yang Fan written by Steve Raleigh.

I'm done. Wenger took off his reading glasses and rubbed his temples, "Steve, you have a very high opinion of this kid." ”

"Arsna, you've already made your decision. I can see that. Steve Raleigh smiled.

"Without your report, I still have some hesitation in my heart, but now, I have indeed made a decision. Arsene Wenger said seriously.

When people talk about Arsenal's academy, most of them give a thumbs up to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, Wenger's successful cultivation of young people is considered a successful example, and they have given countless words of praise to the professor, but few people know that behind Wenger, this big fat man named Steve Raleigh is the real hero.

"So—" Steve Raleigh asked.

Arsene Wenger knew what Steve Raleigh was asking and he smiled and said: "This kid is still under a youth contract with Newcastle, it's good for us and half a million pounds, you can do the rest." "It's very clear. The transfer fee is within 500,000 pounds, and as for the personal aspects of attracting players, it is up to Steve Raleigh to decide what to do, salary, bonuses and so on. He believes Steve Raleigh can get this right.

The energy and level of Arsenal's chief scout and sporting director is naturally unquestionable!

Moreover, Arsene Wenger is confident enough that between Arsenal and Newcastle, almost everyone will not hesitate to choose the former!

"This damn labor certification!" learned about Yang Fan's specific situation from the mouth of assistant coach Nigel Pearson, and knew that in a situation like Yang Fan, it would be almost difficult to get a labor certification in a few years. Rhodes angrily took all his grudges out on the FA's fucking labour certification system.

I finally found an attacking player in the youth team who can send fresh blood to the first team, but I was suddenly told that you can only be greedy for that kid, but you can't use it, can you not be annoyed?!

Nigel Pearson also looked helpless, he was sweating profusely. They all forgot about Yang Fan's labor certificate, they had always thought that Yang Fan was Chinese, British, and would not be subject to the restrictions of labor certification, but they didn't expect that this was not the case.

Nigel Pearson is deeply impressed by Rode's complaints, and the labor certification is indeed hated by many managers of Premier League teams. Almost all Premier League coaches have expressed their dissatisfaction with the labour certification system.

Labor certification restricts many good South American players, outstanding young players from Eastern and Southern Europe and strong players who have not been in the national team to enter the Premier League, so that the choice of teams, especially small teams, is much less, and players can only be selected from home or from the European Union. However, players in the EU and the UK are generally much more expensive than players in South America and Eastern and Southern Europe. There is not much money to transfer to midstream or lower-mid teams. With that amount of money, it is difficult to select good players in the EU without improving their strength. On the contrary, other leagues have restrictions, but not as strict as the Premier League. By the time this young player has made a name for himself in other leagues and made it to the national team, or has already played enough games, many of them are already worth a hundred times more, and they may not be able to buy it for a lot of money. In 2004, Arsenal FC, which is good at buying young potential players, had planned to launch a restructuring campaign to change the existing transfer system of the Premier League and cancel the labor certification system in the transfer regulations.

Why do the labor certifications make these Premier League coaches so angry?

Tevez, who is known as Argentina's latest 'Maradona's successor', and Brazilian national team defender Alex, etc., now these familiar faces have appeared on the British field, but only in the trial or reserve team, and the labor certificate has become a major obstacle for them to land in the UK.

The biggest difference between the UK's football transfer system and other European countries is that they have labour certification restrictions on players from non-EU countries. You know, if there is no labor certification, world-renowned stars such as Xiao Luo and Kaka would have been treasures of the Premier League long ago.

Now AC Milan's core Kaka has revealed to the media that before moving to Milan, he had been in contact with the Premier League team Chelsea and almost joined the team. Kaka's first stop in Europe was almost entirely set in England, and at the time, the young Brazilian was worth just £5.1 million. But with no labour licence in place, Chelsea's Russian boss Abou's wishful thinking was to buy Kaka and then loan him to CSKA Moscow before returning him to Stamford Bridge once he had accumulated enough international games to get his labour permit. It's just that Kaka has no interest in going to play in Russia.

'Despite Chelsea's interest in me, they weren't going to buy me right away, my destination was CSKA Moscow. It was a well-known place of ice and snow, but when I got in touch with Milan, I locked my future in Italy. Kaka recalled in an interview with The Times a little over a month ago. Now Kaka is worth 90 million euros, and it is not for sale, and no matter how much money you spend, you may not be able to buy it.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson once criticized the labor certification system for this, saying that if the labor certification system for football players is not abolished, the Premier League team will miss out on a Kaka!

Not only Kaka, but another Brazilian superstar, Ronaldinho, also missed out on Arsenal because of his labor certification.

Arsene Wenger revealed that when Ronaldinho was still making his debut, he took a fancy to Ronaldinho's talent, and the player himself was interested in joining the Gunners. But in the end, because of labor certification restrictions, Xiao Luo passed by the gunman. Arsene Wenger said: "Arsenal were able to get Ronaldo before he joined Paris Saint-Germain. I met his brother and agent very early on, when the Brazilian was in his early 20s, but he didn't get to Highbury due to UK transfer regulations. After missing out on Arsenal due to his labor certification, Ronaldo joined Paris Saint-Germain and moved to Barcelona in 2003 for £21 million. Now it's Barcelona's flag star!

Back to the point. Anger is anger, Rod has to calm down and consider Yang Fan's problem, if Newcastle wants to give up Yang Fan, this is naturally impossible, Yang Fan's strength and talent are now obvious to all, and the player is already a Newcastle person, although it is only a youth contract, but it is also a Newcastle person! It is impossible to give it up.

In this case, Rod also thought clearly, Yang Fan's German agent Beck proposed to loan Yang Fan out of Jianyì, which is also the most suitable at present. If a player plays well outside, his strength will increase, and if he has fame, the success rate of applying for a labor certification will increase greatly. When the time comes, it will still be the wealth of Newcastle.

Therefore, although Rod regretted lending Yang Fan out on loan, he did not exclude it.

Now the question is, where to lease Yang Fan?

"Young's contract with the club expires in ten months. Assistant coach Nigel Pearson reminded.

"Hell!" Rod patted his head, he understood why Baker was not so eager to seek a new contract for Yang Fan now, since Yang Fan could not get a labor certificate in a short period of time, then, at present, leaving Newcastle was the best option. If Newcastle does not renew Yang Fan's contract, Yang Fan can transfer to any team on a free transfer at that time, and Newcastle will lose the most in the end.

Managers in the Premier League have the most power in the leagues, not only in terms of tactics, but also in the transfer of players.

Therefore, for the arrangement of this young player that he admires more, Rod still chose to operate it himself. Instead of leaving it to an assistant or club manager.

"The situation now is that we have to sign a new contract with this kid and then we rent him out. Rod said.

"That's right. Nigel Pearson nodded, "I don't think it's a good choice to let such a young man go. ”

"Well, let's see if the German will open his mouth in a moment. Rod smiled bitterly. He was not optimistic about the talks with the agent.
