"Hello, sir, who are you looking for?"

While Yang Yang and the first team were in Detokmostt for the second day of recovery training, Raiola walked into the administrative office of the Amsterdam Arena with a fat belly.

"I'm looking for your technical director, Louis van Gaal." Raiola walked over, resting her hands on the table and grinning.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"You're new here, aren't you? You tell him directly, Raiola comes to him, no appointment. ”

The reception staff at the front desk didn't dare to hold it up, and immediately pressed an internal phone and immediately received Van Gaal's office, and soon, she put down the phone, got up and took Raiola to the door of the technical director's office.

"Mr. Raiola, I'm sorry, I'm very busy right now, I really don't have time to discuss anything with you about Ibrahimovic's transfer, if you can, please come back after the season, okay?"

When Van Gaal saw Raiola, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle, one head and two big.

For more than half a year, he had dealt with Raiola, a vampire who was notoriously difficult.

"I think you're mistaken, Louis." Raiola was still smiling and looking very kind, "I'm not here today for Zlatan's business, I've always respected the wishes of the players, you know that, since he has reached an agreement with you, then I will definitely abide by it, and I won't make trouble." ”

When Van Gaal heard this, his face softened slightly.

Now that the team has finally regained calm and everyone can play peacefully, he really doesn't want to make any more extraneous troubles and cause some rights and wrongs.

"Okay, what's the matter with you coming today?" Van Gaal asked in an unkind tone, as if he would chase someone out at any moment.

Raiola was still smiling, "Didn't you ask me to come?" ”

"I'll let you come?"

"Yes, you said you wanted to talk about renewing the contract."

"Renewal?" Van Gaal was confused, "Who is talking about contract renewal?" Ibrahimovic? Maxwell? ”

"No, no, Luis, they haven't reached the renewal time yet, I want to talk about Yang Yang and Vermaelen."

"What?" Van Gaal was taken aback.

"Surprised, isn't it?" Raiola seemed to be satisfied with the surprise she had created, "That's right, from today onwards, I officially became the agent of Yang Yang and Vermaelen, and this is the brokerage contract we signed. ”

Van Gaal took the document from Raiola's hand, glanced at it, and was still a little surprised when he was sure there was no problem.

How did this damn vampire become Yang Yang's agent for no reason?

Could it be Ibrahimovic?

Definitely!

It must have been the damned Swede who instigated Yang Yang to take refuge in Raiola.

If Ibrahimovic were to stand in front of Van Gaal now, the Dutch coach would not have the urge to strangle him.

It's not good for you to introduce Yang Yang as an agent, but you introduce Raiola, is this because you can't get along with me?

But Van Gaal also quickly calmed down, exhaled heavily, and nodded: "Okay, then how do you want to talk about it?" ”

'First of all, let's talk about Vermaelen, my player needs more minutes and games and I believe you should have seen what he is capable of, how beautiful that header was last night.

"That's Yang Yang's corner kick is a good penalty."

"That's right, but Fermaelen has a strong sense of grabbing points, that's undeniable, right?"

"What do you want?"

"The old rules, contract extensions, double salaries, 1,000 euros a week, and at the same time commit more playing time, shouldn't it be too much?" Raiola laughed.

Fermaelen's current salary is similar to Yang Yang's, just a few dozen euros more, doubling to a thousand euros, Ajax is also completely acceptable, as for the playing time commitment, Van Gaal can also give.

"Okay, that's fine." Van Gaal replied briskly.

In fact, after Vermaelen entered the first team, the renewal of the contract has also been put on the agenda, after all, Ajax also has to beware of him being poached by other teams, and now take advantage of the excellent performance in the quarterfinals of the Dutch Cup to renew the contract with Fermaelen and lock in the future of the Belgian central defender, which is a good thing for the team and the players.

"Next, let's talk about Yang Yang's contract, I have to say, after seeing his current contract, I really feel worthless for my player, he receives such a low salary, but has such a good performance, I really don't know what to say, I also want to know, how sincere are you Ajax to renew the contract?"

Raiola was kicking the ball straight to Louis van Gaal.

How could Van Gaal not know the mystery of this?

"What do you think?"

'Ajax's current maximum salary is Van der Vaart at €25,000 a week, while the likes of Ibrahimovic and Wesley Sonk, Litmanen, Victor Scola and John O'Brien are all €15,000.

As he said this, Raiola kept an eye on Van Gaal's expression, pausing deliberately before continuing.

"Don't talk about Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic, Wesley Sonk has the aura of the top scorer in the league, and the veteran Litmanen is a famous European player, don't say anything, but Soyetals, Victor Scola and John O'Brien, these three players all receive such high salaries, how much do you think Yang Yang should receive?"

After hearing this, Van Gaal scolded in his heart, only feeling that it was very tricky.

He knew that Raiola was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, and he knew the entire salary structure of the team at once, how did he answer?

Can he say that Soyetals, Victor Scola and John O'Brien were mistakes in the club's signings?

Both players came to the team with high expectations, only to be disappointed?

That's not what he's supposed to say as a technical director.

"Mr. Raiola, you should know that Yang Yang's situation is not comparable to theirs."

"I know." Raiola was still smiling, "I just wanted to remind you, Luis. ”

"And what do you mean?" Van Gaal asked.

"Three thousand euros a week."

"It can't be." Van Gaal shook his head, "Seven times all at once, Ajax will not accept such a contract extension." ”

"Sneijder, De Jong and others are also in this position, I believe that Yang Yang will take this salary at this time, it's not too much, right?"

"Yes, you have a bit of a point, but you must know that Yang Yang is only seventeen years old, according to our club's plan, if everything goes well in the future, he will renew his contract at least twice in three years, and we can't mention so much at once."

When negotiating a young player's salary, it is important to consider not only the current situation, but also the future, leaving room for salary increases for future renewals, and even considering the knock-on effects of the renewal.

If a 17-year-old is given such a high salary, will other players also ask for a salary increase?

"And what do you mean?" Raiola asked with a smile.

"Two thousand euros, no more."

"It's just that we can't talk about it." Raiola pursed her lips and snorted twice, "It's okay, we still have time." ”

After saying that, Raiola did not linger, got up and left with a fat body.

Seeing the back of this Italian fat man leaving, Van Gaal felt a headache.

How could Yang Yang find such an agent?

…………

…………

When Van Gaal returned home and told his girlfriend, Truce Opamel, about the incident he had in the morning that had ruined his good mood all day, the latter giggled.

"If you laugh again, I'll consider running away from home." Van Gaal said with a hesitant expression.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." Truss smiled away, but there was still a joking joke between his eyebrows, "But I really don't understand, what are you angry about?" ”

"I ......," Van Gaal was a little speechless, "Am I not worried that he will be led astray by some bad agent at a young age?" Now the most important thing for him is to improve his strength and play more games, instead of focusing on making money and wasting his business. ”

At the end of the day, Van Gaal was really serious.

"Is he deserted?" Truss asked rhetorically, "Hasn't he been getting better and better lately?" Besides, has the issue of his contract renewal been deadlocked for so long, has it affected him? ”

When Van Gaal thought about it, it didn't seem to have affected it, and Yang Yang didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

"If I'm not mistaken, you told me a few days ago, urging him to find an agent and talk about renewing the contract quickly, but he is looking for it now, but you are not happy."

"That's because he found a vampire, who is Raiola?" Louis van Gaal also got on fire.

Truss raised his hands and signaled Van Gaal to calm down, "Then it depends on which angle you look at this matter." ”

"What do you mean?"

"From the standpoint of the technical director of Ajax, you should indeed be angry, because Raiola negotiates with Ajax on behalf of Yang Yang, and he wants to do everything possible to fight for Yang Yang's interests, and you hate this agent, which I can understand."

Van Gaal nodded, and that was indeed his idea.

"But if you're standing in the position of a friend, I think you can think about it, is what Raiola is fighting for, is it the legitimate interests that Yang Yang deserves? Did he offer a very outrageous price? Or, did he do anything to harm Yang Yang's interests? ”

"If there is, I suggest that you talk to Yang Yang in person and tell him these things, if not, then I don't understand what you are angry about, perhaps, you just can't do anything with Raiola during the negotiation, and deliberately lose your temper."

After Truss's words, Van Gaal was speechless and speechless for a long time.

"Okay, I think Raiola is also very good, at least he doesn't suffer when facing the club, he is strong enough to protect the interests of the players, but the previous one, too weak and poor in his ability to do things, that is what will really kill Yang Yang." Truss smiled and comforted.

She knows Van Gaal's temper all too well.

Sure enough, when she said this, Van Gaal smiled wryly and shook his head.

"He's relieved, and he's fine, but I'm miserable, facing Raiola all day long, I'm about to explode!"

When Truss saw Van Gaal's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh again.

But she also knew in her heart that Van Gaal was still not suitable for this position after all, not suitable for wearing a suit and tie every day, and clocking in to work on time.

At the end of the day, he still belongs to the football field, to the coach's box.

That's where he's supposed to be.
