Chapter 168: Raiola's Reminder
() "Chelsea beat Porto at home, eliminated 1-2 on aggregate"
"Magical Porto, Reaching the European Final in Two Years"
"Champions League loss, 5 billion rubles are empty? 》
Chelsea's exit was somewhat unexpected by the fans, but when you think about it, it makes sense.
Some people in the 11-person team are thinking about their future, some are thinking about getting by, some are thinking about accepting what they see, and some are thinking about competing for the championship.
Everyone's mentality is not the same, and it is inevitable that there will be differences in attack and defense.
Although Joe Cole's red card was a direct factor in the defeat of the Champions League, a careful analysis of the causes and consequences shows that it is the shadow of the newly appointed CEO Kane and the boss Abu who are also behind the scenes.
In short, many Blues fans have long expected the team to be eliminated, and with this in mind, it is "easy" to accept this reality.
In any case, losses and eliminations can always cause unhappy players, and many players hook up after the game and go to their familiar bars.
"Brother Tang, I, I'll go take a bath first. You, don't be so anxious..."Zhou Hao blushed, pushed Tang Wu out of the door, and locked the bathroom door from the inside.
Since Tang Wu returned to London from Tehran last time, Hao Junmin has been blocking the two from dating.
Now that Hao Junmin has returned to China after the trial, Tang Wu certainly wants to take this opportunity to make out with his girlfriend.
Just as Tang Wu was whistling and unbuttoning all the buttons on his clothes, there was a knock on the door in the living room.
"Who else is so late?" Tang Wu muttered and opened the door.
"I knew you weren't gone yet." Raiola walked in as if she had entered her own home, with a round nose.
"Mr. Raiola, what can't you say tomorrow, I, you..." Seeing his agent walking towards the sofa as if no one was around, Tang Wu gestured a few times at a loss, and finally gave up the idea of driving the other party out of the house.
"Don't worry, I won't disturb your good deeds." Raiola just glanced at it, and he knew the meaning of Tang Wu's words. Then he took out a document from his briefcase and sat on the couch to look through it.
After a while, Raiola suddenly asked, "What do you think of Lazio?" ”
"Lazio?" Tang Wu's mind didn't turn around, recalled the situation of the match with Lazio in the Champions League, and replied, "Lazio is a great Serie A team, but the strength has declined a little bit recently..."
"That's right, if you go there, you'll be able to curb Lazio's decline."
"No, no, Mr. Raiola, I don't understand what you mean, can you make it clearer?" Tang Wu felt a little blind.
What do you mean? What do I guard when I go to Lazio?
"I mean, Lazio is the most sincere 'giant' for you at the moment."
"Transfers? Most sincerely? Tang Wu's mind was running fast, "How much do they offer?" ”
"Four million pounds." Raio stretched out four fingers.
"So low?" Tang Wu was surprised.
Raiola glanced at Tang Wu with disdain, and patiently explained: "Don't always compare Cech, it's your boss Abu who bought him." And the number of 400w is not low for a goalkeeper of your age and qualifications! ”
"What about Chelsea? Isn't Kane going to give me a raise? Tang Wu asked.
"Chelsea? Scold! Don't you know your current situation? Raiola sneered.
"What do you mean? Could it be that Abu also blamed the team's defeat on my head? If I'm so important, why didn't he give me a raise? ”
"No, not because of this!" Raiola shook her head, "Abu doesn't like you very much, but you've had a good season. In the face of the data, many people at the club think that you still have the ability to hold the door next season. And after my efforts, they have offered to keep you for £650w! ”
“650w? That's a good thing! "Compared to the previous 250, Raiola has really done a good job in this regard.
"But if you listen to what I'm going to say, you probably won't be so optimistic." Raiola picked up the water cup in front of him and took a sip of water, which aroused Tang Wu's curiosity.
'According to the latest inside information, the coach who is most likely to succeed Lajli next season has just led Chelsea out of the Champions League.
"Knock out? Porto? Jose Mourinho!! Tang Wu smacked his lips, and finally realized what Raiola said.
"How could it be him? Isn't it Elkeson? Tang Wu was surprised.
"Do you really believe the media?" Raiola said disdainfully, "The media also said that Mourinho is going to coach Real Madrid next season, do you believe this?" ”
"This..."Tang Wu still distinguishes between right and wrong, between the media and his agent, he still chooses to believe the latter.
"What then?" Tang Wu was a little panicked.
Having just had a few hearty talks with Jose Mourinho, and now that the old boy is about to become his own manager, it seems that his Blues journey is really coming to an end.
Judging by the character Mourinho has shown so far, whether it is team building, media relations or discipline issues, Mourinho sees everything in black and white.
It's either life or death; Either starters or benches.
It's so decisive, it's so simple.
And a coach like Jose Mourinho will absolutely control all transfer powers, and he will sell the person he thinks should be cleared, even if that person was bought by the owner last season; In the selection of talents, he does not necessarily look at the big names, but those high-quality and cheap potential stocks.
Coupled with Mourinho's managerial style, Tang Wu is convinced that if he is forced to stay at Chelsea, he will hardly have any chance to play next season.
"That's why I asked you if you wanted to go to Lazio." Raiola spread his hands, "You can go to Lazio for two or three years first, and when you are completely stable, giants like Milan, Juventus, and Real Madrid should hand you an invitation." ”
"Are you sure it's Jose Mourinho? Isn't there anyone else? Tang Wu turned around with his hands behind his back, still a little unwilling.
"Then wait, the summer transfer window hasn't opened yet." Raiola changed his words, "But I still advise you to look away, not just look at one team and one number. Transfer fees and salaries are not the key to measuring a player, nor are they the department that attracts players. You sold your hand to Chelsea for four years, but your signing fee, your image rights, are still in your hands. Plus you're young and starting is a big priority for you, so you don't have to stare at it. ”
Raiola's words are very reasonable, and Tang Wu is not a person who can't listen to words. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Is it okay if I want to stay in the Premier League?" Is there any news on the rest of the Premier League? ”
"Oh, don't say it, there really is!" Raiola looked down and flipped through it, pulled out a document and said, "Speaking of which, your old club still wants to find you back!" ”
"Arsenal?" Tang Wu took the document curiously, and asked as he flipped through it, "How much money does the professor plan to give?" ”
"A million!" Raio stretched out his right index finger.
"Fack!" After hearing this number, Tang Wu immediately threw the document back, "Arsenal is still picking as always!" Are you sure it's not the professor insulting me? ”
"I just told you not to focus on numbers." Raiola smiled and pointed to Arsenal's offer and said, "You should know that Lehmann is not young, and he and Arsenal need a successor. Four or five years from now, when Lehmann takes a back seat, you'll be Arsenal's main goalkeeper. Don't forget, the Gunners are the real giants of the Premier League. ”
"Then I'd rather go to Lazio and play for four years first!" Tang Wu gambled.
"It's up to you, it's up to you. After all, I'm just an agent, and you're the 'boss'. After Raiola finished speaking, he winked at Tang Wu.
"Well, I'll admit that I was too willful!" Tang Wu sighed, "But I don't regret it, because the initiative has been held by us again." ”
"That's just luck!" Raiola is also aware of the current state of the Olympic Games, "but I still have reservations. What if the National Olympics are in the Olympics? That's not the World Cup! However, I will not object to employers working for the country, but it is important to note that since you have chosen this path, you must bear the consequences of all this. This season's Chelsea has taught you a lesson and I hope you will remember it for a long time. ”
Raiola was right.
If Tang Wu really fights for Chelsea wholeheartedly, he may have moved towards the double by now.
Tang Wu shook his head, he remembered an interview he had read about General Fan.
In front of the camera, General Fan said that Newcastle wanted to poach him to fight for the Magpies, but General Fan refused.
The reason is that these "giants" do not allow players to return to China to compete, although it is not written in the contract, but this "rule" is revealed between the lines. Coupled with some radical home fans, General Fan finally chose to stay at Crystal Palace because Crystal Palace allowed him to return to China to compete.
Chelsea actually allowed it.
But this season Chelsea have been transformed into a 'quasi-giant' and have been on a high trajectory in terms of results, so both the club and the fans will want the team to soar this season.
Now that Chelsea has failed, Ranieri is responsible, several parallel big names are responsible, and Tang Wu, the "disobedient" goalkeeper, is also responsible.
Tang Wu sighed and said, "Okay, I won't be staring at money anymore. However, it is necessary to add the clause that allows me to return to China to compete, otherwise I will not talk about it. ”
"You're still so stubborn!" Raiola shook his round nose, "Hopefully this won't be a decision that will affect your life." ”
After Raiola finished speaking, he patted his ass and stood up, "I'm just here today to give you a wake-up call and prepare for the future." You have a bottom in your own heart, and with your strength, as long as you can play, you can prove yourself in any league. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Raiola, for the most beautiful sentence you have ever said tonight."
Just then, the bathroom door was opened from the inside. Zhou Hao crossed his head, wrapped in a bath towel, and walked out barefoot: "Brother Tang, I've washed it, we can... Yes!!! ”
After seeing that there was an extra person in the house, Zhou Haohao immediately slipped back to the bathroom like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Raiola shrugged his shoulders as a person who came over, and said to Tang Wu, who looked embarrassed: "Okay, I won't bother you tonight." Just take care of moderation yourself. ”
"That's the second most beautiful sentence!" Tang Wu smiled awkwardly and sent his agent out the door.
"Bang dang!" Tang Wu deliberately slammed the door.
"Brother Tang, is your friend gone?" Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhou Hao cautiously poked his head out of the bathroom and asked.
"Of course it's gone!" Tang Wu stepped forward and took his girlfriend out of the bathroom.
After the two entered the bedroom, the bath towel on Zhou Haohao's body was also thrown out of the door by Tang Wu.
"Okay, how about we play a game?" Tang Wu said with a smile.
"What game?" Zhou Haohao, who was pressed under her, was flushed, and she felt the change in her boyfriend's body.
"knoock!" (imitate the knock on the door)," Tang Wu said, learning from the "knoock joke" in the American drama.
“whos there? (Who is it)" Zhou Hao blinked curiously.
“lkn! (Milkman)"
“lkn who? (Who is the milkman)"
"No, you should say: 'Please e in! (Please enter)'" Tang Wu corrected.
"Well, please e in... Yes! Zhou Haohao suddenly exclaimed.
“knoock!” Tang Wu continued.
“whos there?” Zhou Haohao's cheeks were crimson, and he reluctantly spoke.
"Egg Giver"
Zhou pursed his lips and twisted his face to the side.
"knoooooock..."Seeing that Zhou Haohao didn't reply, Tang Wu continued.
