Chapter 20 Signing for Middlesbrough
However, good health does not mean that the strength is strong, and you still have to speak with strength on the court. www.biquge.info It happened that the main team and the substitutes of the Myburgh team were playing in training sessions, and the fat man was placed in the substitute lineup.
The arrival of the fat man immediately attracted the attention of the Myburgh players, mainly because the fat man looked like a yellow-skinned Asian, and the fat man had a strong physique, which was no less attractive than the tall defenders. After the fat man came on the court, he took the initiative to seek cooperation with his teammates, the fat man stopped the ball and passed the ball at an average level, but the level of ball protection was very high, and the fat man rarely lost the ball after holding the ball. The originally weak substitute team, with the fulcrum of the fat man, the offense has also become threatening. After a low cross from a teammate, the fat man pressed the main defender and smashed the ball into the goal. Although it was a training session and not as intense as the official game, the fat man still seized the opportunity to score two goals with a header. There was also a free-kick at the end of the training session. The fat man's wonderful performance made Coach Karanka on the sidelines nod his head, and it was obvious that Coach Karanka recognized the strength of the fat man. Coach Karanka studied under the magic bird Mourinho, who has been Mourinho's assistant before, and he has obviously seen the fat man's excellent heading ability, and the free kick footwork is also very good, and he can hold the ball, so he is a very good candidate for a center forward!
Before the training session was over, Coach Karanka talked to Pratt and Caroline about the fat man. He is very interested in the fat man and wants to know more about the fat man. Pratt talked about the fat man's performance on the varsity team, after all, the level of competition between college football teams is still very high, at least at the level of League One. He was very surprised by the performance of the fat man who scored 11 goals and one assist in three school games, and he felt that the fat man was fully capable of playing in the Championship. Caroline started with the fat man's selection for the University of Wales economics football team, and talked about the fat man's wonderful performance in the school team, it took less than three months for the fat man to grow to a level where he could play in the Championship, she was very surprised by the fat man's football talent, and felt that the fat man was a very potential player.
After hearing the comments of the two about the fat man, Coach Karanka felt more confident. But when he learned that the fat man was a Chinese student who was less than 19 years old, he began to frown. He suddenly thought of the fat man's labor certification issue. Fat Man is a British student, and it is not a problem to play in the intramural league or even reserve team games in the UK, but to play in the English professional league, you must have a labor certification.
According to the conditions of the latest Premier League labor certification, the player's national team must be in the top 50 in the world and the player must have played 75% of the national team in two years. The above two hard conditions are obviously not met by fat people. Of course, in addition to the national team ranking, there are several other ways, that is, the player has played in other major European leagues, and it is best to participate in the Champions League and Europa League, which is also not up to par. The only chance is to apply to the FA for a "special genius clause". It is specifically aimed at non-EU players, and this clause is actually intended to make it easier for Premier League clubs and continental clubs to compete for non-EU talents. When you have a crush on a non-EU player who has not yet played for the national team, or who has not played as many times as standard, you can use this right to apply for a labor certification for him. Once vetted by the FA and the Department for Labour, he will be able to represent your team. As for whether this person is a genius or not, it depends on the level of public relations of your team.
The most successful operation in this area is undoubtedly the Gunners Arsenal, Professor Wenger is known for his discerning young talents, and Song, Denilson, Anderson, Miyamuro Ryo and others have all obtained labour certificates through the "special genius clause" before entering the Premier League. But Manchester United and Chelsea, which are also giants, have not achieved much in this regard. In fact, according to the regulations, every team has a chance to apply for the "special talent clause" every season, but the quality of the relationship with the FA determines the success or failure of your application!
Coach Karanka immediately said the biggest obstacle faced by the fat man to join Myburgh - labor certification! When Pratt and Caroline heard about the "labor certification" question, their faces suddenly turned ugly. Looks like the boss needs to step in. Coach Karanka thought to himself. Coach Karanka immediately went back to the base office to find Myburgh owner, Steve Gibson. Steve Gibson is the owner of Myburgh, a businessman, a billionaire, a member of the British House of Representatives, and a very influential member of the city of Middlesbrough. Myburgh's home court, Riverside Stadium, and Rockcliffe training base were built at Gibson's expense. After Gibson heard Coach Karanka's report, he immediately became interested and immediately came to the court to watch the fat man's training. The fat man's superb heading skills, excellent free-kick skills and ball protection skills immediately impressed Gibson. When Gibson learned that the fat man was not yet 19 years old and had participated in formal training for less than three months, he was shocked.
"Ettore, we must win this football talent! Panghui is an important boost for our upgrade this year! Gibson said to coach Karanka.
"Yes, Mr. Gibson! I think so too, Pang is a very strong player! But we were faced with the issue of Pang's labour certification, Pang is a Chinese student who had not competed in any professional competitions before, so Pang could not obtain a Championship labour certification through the normal route, and the only solution was to apply for a "special genius clause", but this involved the FA and the Ministry of Labour.
"Leave this matter to me! I'll call Greg! "Gibson is confident.
As it turns out, Myburgh owner Gibson is still very well connected in the UK. The next morning, a jury of FA and Labour came to Myburgh Football Club and were warmly received by Gibson. Myburgh Football Club also held a hearing on the issue of the fat man's labor certification. After listening to the statement of Myburgh Football Club, the jury reviewed the fat man's medical report and football training sessions, and then left Myburgh FC and went to the University of Wales to continue the investigation and evidence collection.
There are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do. On the fourth day of the fat man's arrival in Myburgh, he received a labor certificate issued by the FA to the fat man. The fat man was very grateful to Myburgh FC for his help and immediately signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Myburgh FC. In the contract, the fat man has a weekly salary of 10,000 pounds, which belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Myburgh team, but there is a goal award, 1,000 pounds for a goal, and a fee of 1,000 pounds per appearance. If the team wins the championship this season, they can get a bonus of 200,000 pounds, and a promotion bonus of 100,000 pounds, and the fat man will wear the number 29 shirt to play for Myburgh! The fat man was very happy, but when Caroline told the fat man about the tax rate in the UK, the fat man wilted again. The UK tax rate is around 45%, deducting Caroline's broker's commission of 5%, and the fat man's annual after-tax bonus is less than £250,000. It's still a long way from the fat man's dream of a million-pound annual salary.
