Chapter 136: Raiola
"Hi, high. I know it's your privacy, but I'd love to ask – is Raiola going to be your agent? ”
On the way to training in Pelle's car, Gao Zheng was asked such a question by Pelle.
He was confused: "Why do you say that?" I haven't been in contact with Raiola......"
"The newspapers are saying that the people of Raiola are in contact with you."
"The guy from Migure?"
"That's right, Migure is Raiola's agency."
Gao Zheng frowned: "I said why there have been fewer strange calls in the past two days......
As Gao Zheng became more and more famous, he received a lot of strange calls. These calls either mean that Mao Sui wants to be his agent, or that he is very familiar with some big-name agents and is willing to match him up, as long as he pays a small fee. There are also people who become their own lawyers, saying that they can help Gao Zheng manage his property. There is even more outrageous, he called and said that he is a descendant of a royal family in a certain country in Africa, and the family has a huge amount of property that is currently frozen in a Swiss bank, and he only needs to help raise a little start-up capital to unfreeze, and the other party is willing to give Gao Zheng 20% of all his property as a reward, and is also willing to marry his daughter to Gao Zheng......
These harassing calls made Gao Zheng unbearable, but he couldn't simply and rudely shut down the phone, what if someone really couldn't find him?
So he can only turn off his phone while he sleeps and enjoy a few hours of quiet time.
"They must have been scared away by Raiola's name." Pelle laughed. "He is now the hottest agent in Italy, and the player he is eyeing is impossible for other agents to snatch away, so everyone knows that it is difficult to retreat."
"Raiola is so good?"
Gao Zheng has heard of Raiola and knows that he is a very famous agent, but Gao Zheng is not very clear about how capable he is. After all, he was still too far away from Raiola's level.
"Of course it's amazing. It is an exaggeration to say that AC Milan is now about to become the Raiola team, and many of the players in it are under his umbrella, and it is said that Galliani and Raiola have a good relationship, which is why so many Raiola players play in AC Milan. Find a suitable agent, you can easily achieve the goal of playing in a big club, do you say Raio is not good? ”
Listening to Pelle's words, Gao Zheng fell silent.
"Raiola is annoying to a lot of club managers, but a lot of players are happy to make him an agent because he can really make a lot of money for the players...... However, it is not so easy to make him an agent, and Raiola is not a very good player, and Raiola does not like it at all. Someone from his company came to you, which means that you have entered the ranks of top players, high! ”
Pelle didn't notice Gao Zheng's silence, but continued to excitedly introduce Raiola to Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng found that everyone was really concerned about his agent.
After coming to the locker room, Romero specially pulled Gao Zheng aside and happily congratulated Gao Zheng. It was also at this time that Gao Zheng learned that the Argentine goalkeeper's agent turned out to be Raiola.
"I know there are a lot of rumours about Mr. Raiola, but they are not true. He's a nuisance to club managers and coaches? Of course, because they have a different position than our players, of course they want to hire us with the least amount of money. But with Mr. Raiola, those capitalists can no longer exploit us at will! He will fight for the best conditions for you, so that you can make the most money in the shortest time, and he can also make you the best star! With your talent, and Mr. Raiola's help, I don't think it's a problem at all......"
Romero was excited, as if he had made a lot of money and had become a top star.
After the training, Gao Zheng was left alone by the club's general manager Sagramora, and the topic of conversation with him was still Raiola.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Gao Zheng could feel that Sagramola was a little nervous, and he was relieved when he heard that the other party only had a preliminary contact with Gao Zheng and was inconclusive.
Then returned to the locker room, Gao Zheng was called out alone by captain Palombo.
The same is talking about Raiola.
“…… I think Romero must have told you that Raiola can help you make a lot of money in a short period of time, and he was right, Raiola does have the ability to do that. But I would also like to remind you that Gao, Raiola is known for helping players make a lot of money, but at the same time it can ruin the relationship between players and clubs. In the short term, it's okay to make a little more money, but in the long run, I don't think it's always bad for the club, and frequent transfers are not necessarily a good thing for your career......"
Palombo said very seriously.
Gao Zheng had to repeat what he had said to Manager Zagramola to Palombo again: "Captain, the other party just gave me a contact information, and I haven't contacted them yet, so Raiola is not my agent." And I'm not going to ask Raiola to be my agent......"
"Huh? You're not looking for Raiola? "Palombo was surprised that very few people, especially young players, could refuse Raiola, who was almost godfather in the minds of many players.
Even Ibrahimovic, who has always been unruly, is well-behaved like a child in front of Raiola.
"Well, don't look for it." Gao Zheng replied very simply.
"Why?"
"Hmm...... Because it was just a guy from their company who contacted me, not Raiola himself, I don't think he took me very seriously, his company has so many players to represent, I don't think he will spend too much time on me from that point of view. Since he doesn't value me, I don't have to ask him to be my agent. Gao Zheng found a reason.
But the real reason may have to do with Raiola's deep partnership with AC Milan, and he doesn't want to be tied to Raiola's chariot with AC Milan.
Of course, the reason he said to the captain also has some truth.
What is an agent who has countless big-name stars in his hands and doesn't pay attention to his agent at all?
Maybe some people feel that this doesn't matter, and with their own efforts, they will always make the agent value themselves. But Gao Zheng is not willing to play the game of cultivating palace fighting here in Raiola.
He needs to give all the business stuff to an agent he can trust, so he can focus on football.
"Well, I've heard that Raiola almost never takes the initiative to meet a player, except for the top stars......" Palombo didn't expect Gao Zheng to be so proud.
"I'm going to be a top star, captain." Gao Zheng said with a smile.
Only then did Palombo realize that he had made a premature conclusion about Gao Zhengao a few seconds ago......
But he thought about it again, with the talent shown by Gao Zheng, as long as he doesn't suffer a very serious injury, it seems that he can really become a top star.
"I wish you good luck, Gao, you should be the most promising person on our team."
Palombo patted Gao Zheng on the shoulder.
"Thank you, captain, but to be honest, I think Mauro has that potential too."
Palombo frowned and thought about the name carefully, then said, "Icardi? ”
"Yes."
"He's still in the reserves...... Mr. Achini didn't seem to think of him at all, what a poor lad...... But next season, I think he can be in the first team. We'll have the two of you on the front line when the time comes, and that's really exciting, ha! ”

Sampietro watched Icardi pass by with a football in his arms and run towards the centre circle behind him, he wanted to come up and celebrate the goal with Icardi, but he was startled by the look on Icardi's face.
It's obviously a goal, but why hasn't Icardi's face changed at all?
"It's four balls...... muttered the assistant coach of the reserve team on the sidelines, "and he's still running towards the center circle with the ball, what does that mean?" ”
"What do you mean? Isn't it obvious? He's not satisfied with scoring four goals. Reserve coach Tufano laughed.
"It's just a training match......"
"Don't you give it your all because it's training?" Tufano educates his own assistants.
"Uh......" The assistant coach had nothing to say.
Tufano continued to smile and look at Icardi with appreciative eyes, what a treasure he had found!
Although I don't know why, Icardi's form has been getting better and better since the winter break, but as long as it stays up.
