114 Leader
"Hello, Mino."
As soon as the phone was connected, Van Gaal squeezed out a smile and greeted, but he was secretly slandering in his heart.
If it weren't for the needs of his work, he really didn't want to deal with a vampire like Raiola, not once.
"Hello, who are you?" Raiola's lazy voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I'm Louis."
"Louis? Which Louis? ”
Van Gaal's eyes widened, is this pretending to be stupid? Which Louis am I, you wouldn't know?
But the technical director of Ajax still held his temper and replied: "Louis van Gaal. ”
"Oh, Mr. van Gaal, I didn't expect it to be you, it's amazing." Raiola was shocked.
This made Van Gaal, who heard the phone, feel the urge to vomit, God knows what the expression of the Italian fat man on the other side of the phone was?
"Okay, don't say enough kind words, where are you now?"
"Me? I'm in Monaco. ”
"Monaco?" Van Gaal was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, I've always lived in Monaco, and the famous F1 Monte Carlo circuit is near my house, and you can watch the F1 cars directly from the roof of my house, so you should definitely come and see it if you have the chance." The Italian fat man introduced with relish.
But Van Gaal had no interest in it, and his biggest hobby in life was football, followed by golf.
"I'd like to ask when you're free to visit Amsterdam."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Raiola asked, confused.
Van Gaal almost didn't scold, something, of course there's something, it's okay, what am I calling you for?
Is this inexplicably asked?
"After our careful consideration, we think it is better to negotiate Yang Yang's contract renewal as soon as possible, what do you think?"
"Of course, I wanted to get this done in one go a few days ago, and since you have decided now, of course I will accompany you at any time." Raiola replied without hesitation.
Van Gaal on the phone was stunned when he heard it, and agreed so easily? Is this like the style of a vampire Raiola?
He always wondered if there was something wrong with this?
Sure enough, before he could speak, Raiola's voice came from the other side of the phone again.
I only heard the Italian sigh twice, and sighed, "But it will definitely not work in the last few days, there are some things at home here, it may be busy for a few days, and there are some emergencies on the Italian side that I need to deal with quickly, and I may have to ...... next"
Van Gaal didn't even listen to what he had to say, and he was finally sure that the vampire wasn't in his brain.
"You just tell me when you're free." Van Gaal replied lightly.
"In a few days, I will definitely be free in a few days, and I will definitely go to Amsterdam to find you then, and we will have a good talk then." Raiola said with a grin.
As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, Raiola accompanied the smiling face and apologized, which made it really difficult for Van Gaal to have a seizure.
Regardless of the different positions, he had to admit that this was a bastard who couldn't be hated.
After hanging up the phone, Van Gaal turned around again and looked at the game in the stadium through the window, Yang Yang was still running.
Three to one, Ajax has basically won the game.
Suddenly, Van Gaal realized that this time the contract renewal might not be so easy.
The 3,000 euros weekly salary proposed by Raiola may be just a test, what this vampire really wants to do is to test Ajax's bottom line in treating Yang Yang, he wants to fight for the maximum benefit of his players.
Yang Yang wants to stay in the team, there is no doubt about it, Raiola has never used other teams to hype Yang Yang's contract renewal, which is enough to show their sincerity, but as Yang Yang's performance is getting better and better, the initiative to renew the contract will be more and more inclined to the player's side, and Ajax's bargaining chips must continue to increase.
"Sure enough, it's a dead fat man who is as cunning as a fox!" Van Gaal gritted his teeth and scolded.

Ajax ended up beating PSV Eindhoven 3-1 at home.
The victory in this pinnacle duel allowed Ajax to finally sit firmly in the league leader for the time being.
At the end of the game, the 50,000 fans in the stadium stood up and gave the most enthusiastic applause to the players in the stadium.
At the end of this round, Ajax are four points ahead of PSV Eindhoven in the standings and have a definite lead in the race for the league title, but with 14 games to go, everything is still unknown.
At the post-match press conference, head coach Ronald Koeman once again praised the substitute Yang Yang, saying that his performance was unbelievable, and both assists showed amazing strength.
'It's hard for anyone to believe he's just turned 17, he's an amazing player, and working with him you'll see that he's always been the hardest-working and hard-working guy, and he's progressing so fast that everybody can't believe it.
But Ronald Koeman also mentioned that Yang Yang is still too young and needs to continue to grow and improve.
'He's not perfect for the time being, he should keep the hard work, the drive, the passion in the game, and most importantly, he needs to keep growing and improving to make himself stronger, even better.'
Ronald Koeman also mentioned a number of other players in the squad, such as Sneijder, whose Dutch midfielder has been in a spectacular season at Ajax, not losing out on team-mate Van der Vaart, especially with his passing and playmaking.
The Ajax manager focused on Wesley Sonk.
The Belgian striker came to Ajax with the aura of the top scorer in the league, he is very proficient in both left and right feet, has a very sharp sense of smell in front of goal, is fast, and his individual ability is good enough, which makes everyone in Ajax look forward to him.
But after joining the team, he was difficult to perform satisfactorily, and the coaching staff also tried on the right, middle and left side, but in the past period, he has basically been fixed on the left side, and his performance has been getting better and better.
Some media even pointed out that the period of Wesley Songk's frequent goals happened to be when Yang Yang came on as a substitute on the right side, and after Yang Yang's outstanding performance, the most obvious benefit was Wesley Songke.
Ronald Koeman did not give an affirmative reply, jokingly saying that Vermaelen was also the biggest beneficiary because he scored his maiden goal on his first-team debut and the Belgian is still roommates of Yang Yang.
However, the Ajax boss also admits that the team's attacking attack will be given more opportunities after playing on the wings.

The difficult victory over PSV Eindhoven made everyone at Ajax breathe a sigh of relief while being excited.
After all, it is the number one enemy in the league championship.
But the league is not over yet, and the team will continue to compete on three fronts in the Eredivisie, the Dutch Cup and the Champions League, and everyone dare not be careless, especially when they think of Arsenal, the Champions League knockout opponent at the end of the month, everyone has a heavy feeling of being weighed down by the towering mountains.
This Premier League team has not lost in the Premier League so far, and it shows how strong it is.
Yang Yang's performance on the field is excellent, he is a little younger than everyone else, he is low-key, he works very hard in both games and training, and he is very kind to others, which makes him easily the most popular person in the locker room.
But when he took a shower in the dressing room and laughed and chatted with his teammates, when he went out, he only saw Maxwell and Fermaelen, but not Swedish center Ibrahimovic.
"Where's Zlatan?" Yang Yang was a little strange.
"I said I had taken a step beforehand." Fermaren said.
Yang Yang is a little strange, they have been riding Ibrahimovic's Porsche hitchhiker for a while now, and the Swedish center forward will always wait for them, why did they leave by themselves tonight?
It's not like the Swede, he's always been the one who likes to be lively.
"Take my car." Maxwell suggested with a smile.
Maxwell's car, also a sedan provided by Ajax's sponsor Fiat, is in the parking lot of Detokmost.
"What's wrong?" On the way back to Odekerk, Yang Yang couldn't help but ask Maxwell, who was driving in the front row.
"I don't know." The Brazilian left wing-back shook his head, "He's always like that, a few days a month when he's in a bad mood. ”
"Got out of trouble with Helena?" Yang Yang asked again.
"Not really." Fermaelen shook his head, "He talked to me about Helena last night, and it didn't look like an awkward mess. ”
"What's the problem then?" Yang Yang frowned, also puzzled, "Is it because of his recent performance?" ”
If Ibrahimovic is to talk about his recent performances, it is indeed a bit unsatisfactory, even if he scored a goal against Feyenoord in the Dutch Cup, but the media still blamed him for missing too many scoring opportunities.
After playing Feyenoord, Ibrahimovic rotated one game, and he also missed a lot of chances against PSV Eindhoven in this game, the team scored three goals, but he did not contribute, but the veteran Litmanen and his teammate in the front line Sonk both scored.
"It's possible." Maxwell nodded, "Raiola has been contacting Serie A teams for him, but after the winter break training camp, his performance has been a little unmotivated, probably because of some problems with his state, and he is also anxious." ”
Yang Yang is helpless, he also wants to help Ibrahimovic, but there are some things he can't help.
Let's just say that in the past game, before he assisted Litmanen, he glanced at Ibrahimovic, he had already run over, if that ball was passed to the Swedish center, it would definitely be intercepted and tackled by the opponent's central defender, even if he barely held the ball, it was difficult to form a shooting opportunity.
As for the assist to Wesley Sonk on the second kick, it was a quick counterattack, and the speed of the Swedish center failed to catch up with Yang Yang and Sonke, Yang Yang naturally couldn't put the empty goal of Sonk without passing, and deliberately stopped to wait for Ibrahimovic, right?
Of course, the Swedish center forward should not blame him, but he did not perform well and sulked in his heart.
I believe that after a day or two, the mood will calm down, and it will be fine.
