"Gao Han, this is Carlos Corvo, the club has arranged for him to assist you with the contract renewal of the second team player. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Carlos, he's Gao Han!"

Half an hour after answering the phone, Paolo Futrey walked into the second team coach's office with a Spaniard in his mid-thirties, and introduced the two sides to each other.

"It's a great pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gao Han, I am now not only a fan of Atletico Madrid, but also a fan of the second team. ”

"Thank you!" Gao Han said with a smile.

He could feel that this Carlos Corvo was very honest, even with a little respect.

The second team coach's office was very simple, with little space and no place to sit, so Paolo Futre and Carlos Corvo simply sat directly opposite the alpine and took the positions of Cantarero and Garcia.

"By the way, Paul, didn't I mention to you before that you want to bring in two or three players during the winter break?"

Paul Futrey nodded, "How's it going?"

"That's it!" Gao Han handed over the information of Pablo Ibáñez and Anthony Elora.

Paul Futrey opened it immediately, took a cursory look at it, and closed it again.

'Neither of these players are very easy to do, especially Anthony Elora. ”

Athletic Bilbao is a very special football club that uses only players from the Basque Country.

Because of this, this team attaches great importance to youth training, and is very concerned about the players it has cultivated, and the players' loyalty to the club is also very high, and it is not easy to poach the corners.

"Basqueña is the third team in Athletic Bilbao, but they play independently, whereas in Athletic Bilbao there is a tradition that they send players who are favored by the club to Basquenia for a year or two, then to the second team and then to the first team. ”

"So......" Paul Futrey looked at Gao Han with a look that you had better be prepared for.

Gao Han understood, "Let's talk as much as possible, if it doesn't work, I'll reconsider others." ”

The professionalism of European football is already very well-established, developed and mature.

A young player, no matter how old he is, as long as he shows a better football talent than his peers, will be immediately discovered and unearthed, and it is unlikely that anything will be lost.

The most fundamental reason why some players shine at a young age, and some players have to survive until they are old enough to become late bloomers, is the personal growth and experience of the players.

It's like Xavi Alonso, the quality and potential of this player, Real Sociedad doesn't know?

No, they do, and they know it very well.

But why not?

Because he doesn't fit the tactical style of the first-team manager Clement!

It's entirely conceivable that if the first team had a manager and liked the type of midfielder like Xavi Alonso, Atletico Madrid's second team would not have been able to dig it up.

In other words, what would have happened to Gao Han if he hadn't poached Harvey Alonso?

On loan, or stay in the second team, keep waiting for the opportunity, and God knows when it will come?

Perhaps, soon with a change of head coach, he will come out on top.

Or, if he doesn't change the head coach for a long time, he won't be able to survive himself, so he will be wasted.

In professional football, a player is like a commodity, on the shelf, and it is sold at a clear price.

Xavi Alonso was brilliant, but he was of little use to Real Sociedad at the time.

On the contrary, it is Kubillo, the midfielder hand-picked by the first-team manager, who is clearly more valuable.

In the same way, the key for Atletico Madrid to poach Andoni Ilora now is not whether the club knows the strength and talent of the players, because the former is transparent and everyone knows it, while the latter can also be roughly estimated.

Of course, the estimation is definitely not as accurate as Gao Han's sharp eyes.

The key to poaching players is the exchange of interests.

Let's say Atletico Madrid get 1 million euros, and Athletic Bilbao thinks, with 1 million euros, I can dig up a few more players of the level of Andoni Ilora to come out, then they will definitely sell, I don't say.

On the other hand, if Athletic Bilbao feels that Anthony Ilora is an indispensable member of the team in the future, even if he does not sell it at a high price, then no one will have a problem.

Therefore, in the transfer market, no one can poach the star of the giant team, this is the reason.

Because no one can afford that price!

It's the same with other players, and it's the same with other players poaching yours.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid must quickly renew the contracts with players such as Torres and Villa.

The purpose is very simple, to greatly increase the cost of poaching others, and even directly make people unaffordable!

"For the renewal of the contract this time, the various departments of the club held a meeting before, and the current financial situation of the team is not ideal, but for the second team, the team now attaches great importance to it, so Mr. Hill Sr., Mr. Hill Jr. and Mr. Cerezo have personally explained that they must retain this group of players no matter what. ”

Carlos Corvo's words made Gao Han understand what the management meant.

If you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to keep the players.

"Of course, Mr. Gao Han, the players are still very young, and when we renew the contract, we definitely have to think about the long-term development. ”

This sentence has another meaning.

Players must be kept, but salaries must be properly controlled.

Gao Han is not contradictory to this.

Generally speaking, for players in the growth and maturity periods, it is the rule to renew the contract and increase the salary, if you don't raise the salary, who will renew your contract?

But the salary increase must also be controlled by a certain amount.

It's like Torres, who signed his professional contract just over a year ago, and now he is about to renew his contract and get a salary increase for the first time.

It is completely foreseeable that he will definitely break into the first team in the coming year.

If he performs well in the first team, he will have to renew his contract and have to get a raise.

For a player like him, renewing his contract once a year or two and raising his salary is nothing new.

But the question is, if it goes up too high once, what happens later?

This is what it means to think long-term.

"How is the positioning of the club?" asked Gao Han, looking at Carlos Corvo, with concern.

Fernando Torres, Villa, Xavi Alonso and Antonio López – these four players are paid the lowest salaries in the first team, and the team has also promised to promote them to the first team in the coming year and play as many first-team games as possible. ”

Carlos Corvo said this, looked at Gao Han, and asked for his opinion.

"Reasonable, go ahead. ”

'A couple of players like Molal and Kamara, the club wants to raise their salaries to the level they are now with Antonio López, but we probably can't commit them to a future in the first team. ”

This is also normal.

The club has made promises, some of which are to be written into the contract, and that is sure to be fulfilled.

Players such as Torres have performed so well that it is only a matter of time before they get into the first team, and it is understandable to give promises, but if even players such as Moral and Kamara are promised, how can the first team play?

Gao Han thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes!"

Carlos Corvo breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he came, he was still a little worried that Gao Han would take the opportunity to fight for more benefits for his players, but now it seems that he is still quite rational and objective.

But in Gao Han's opinion, the salary has risen a lot, and that is enough.

What really matters for the likes of Fernando Torres is the club's commitment to promoting the first team, which is more important than anything else.

"Okay, as you said, make a plan, ask the player's agent to talk, I'll find an opportunity, and also talk to the players, I believe it's not a big problem. ”

Carlos Corvo nodded immediately.

It wasn't a hassle either.

When the two finished talking about the players, Paul Futrey stepped in and looked at Gao Han.

"When you're done with the players, it's time to talk about you. ”

Gao Han smiled: "What do I have to say?"

"I understand your thoughts, but if you should renew the contract, you still have to renew it. ”

Paul Futrey took a document from Carlos Corvo and handed it to Gao Han.

"It's a contract extension for you, you see. ”

Gao Han took it and opened it to take a look.

The terms of the new contract are similar to the previous ones, that is, the monthly salary has been increased from 10,000 to 20,000 euros, and the signing fee has been given to 50,000 euros.

There are fewer bonuses for some players to be selected for the national team, because of this bonus, Gao Han has already gotten it.

But the prize money for winning, winning and promoting places has doubled from the previous one.

In a word, wages have been raised.

Moreover, it has risen a lot!

Gao Han looked at it carefully and closed it again.

"Paul, I believe in you, I have no opinion on the treatment or anything. ”

Paul Futrey immediately smiled and nodded, he knew it would be like this.

"But," Gao Han said, "I'd like to add one more clause." ”

"You say. ”

"I have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract!"

Paul Futrey's hand shook visibly as he looked at Gao Han, "You ......"

"I don't mean anything else. Gao Han didn't say anything in detail, but his attitude was very resolute.

Many things are well known and tacitly understood.

In the last contract, Gao Han had already asked to join this article.

This time, Paul Futtre and the management decided to delete this clause when they were discussing the alpine contract.

It's not that I have any other thoughts, but I'm worried that Gao Han will be poached.

When he signed a contract, Gao Han was a little-known rookie, but now, his team is so eye-catching in the second league that I don't know how many teams are eyeing him.

Once a team poachs a lot of money, Gao Han is moved and unilaterally proposes to terminate the contract, isn't the team very passive?

But for Gao Han, he doesn't want to coach the second team all the time, he wants to have the opportunity to be independent.

In fact, there are teams that are interested in him.

For example, when Fuenlavrada fired Kabaniras, he contacted Gao Han.

Gao Han felt that he needed this clause.

The manager is different from the player, there is no such clause in the player's contract, but it is not uncommon in the manager's contract, which is why many managers feel that the situation is not right after taking office, and they leave in anger.

Paul Futrey hesitated for a moment, then took a deep look at Gao Han, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll add that. ”

Gao Han laughed at this time.

He has not thought about leaving Atletico Madrid for the time being, but if there is such a clause, the initiative to stay in the future is in his own hands, rather than being controlled by others.

Once the main issues are settled, the other minor matters will be taken into account.

The signing date was agreed, and Paolo Futrey and Carlos Corvo took their leave.

Gao Han watched them leave, but shook his head and sighed.

It seems that you have to find a reliable broker quickly.

It is always more awkward to negotiate a contract in person, and it is much more convenient if a broker comes forward.

Moreover, the brokers are more professional, and they handle these things, and Gao Han is also able to concentrate on his own affairs.

It's just, is it easy to find a reliable broker?
