In order to prevent the news from leaking and causing some unnecessary trouble, Boku chose to meet at a small bar in the city of Ipswich.

This small bar provides a place for fans in the neighborhood to watch the game, but in June, when there are no games, business becomes bleak, and in the evenings there are a few customers who come to relax to the rhythm of the music, and the days are very deserted.

Zhang Yang arrived early.

He ordered an iced cola and a dessert, and sat alone on the edge of the bed admiring the scenery in the distance.

That's the Ipswich School.

All kinds of houses with raised roofs are very characteristic of traditional British towns.

After waiting for about half an hour, two figures walked in front of the bar, and they looked around and walked towards this side.

Zhang Yang stood up and greeted the waiter with a smile, "Two more glasses of ice Coke." ”

"You're Zhang, aren't you?"

Darren Bent was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, a casual outfit, with a dark face, a bit like a young man playing on the street, Zhang Yang smiled and took the initiative to reach out his hand, "Hello, my name is Zhang Yang." ”

"You can call me Darren."

"You may be seated."

After Zhang Yang shook hands politely with the two of them, the waiter also served two glasses of ice Coke, and Darren Bent immediately pouted, "You're really stingy, just Coke." ”

"Haha......"

Zhang Yang smiled nonchalantly, "I don't know if you drink alcohol, but Coke is generic." ”

"It's okay."

Boku said indifferently, he stared at Zhang Yang carefully, and said for a long time, "I heard that you are very young, and now I believe it when I see you." ”

"I'm supposed to be just a little bigger than Darren."

"You're older than me?"

Darren Bent seems to care a lot about people saying he's young.

Zhang Yang smiled and didn't continue the topic, but went straight to the point, "Let's talk about business, I'm so far away from London, I really hope that Darren can join Millwall." He was talking to Boku, and after saying that, he looked at Darren Bent.

Darren Bent just drank Coke.

Zhang Yang understood, he should have hoped that Boku would come to talk.

"Then, Mr. Zhang, I believe that you must appreciate Darren in person. ”

"Of course."

'It's the same with Charlton manager Mr Kubishley, who has called me a couple of times and is hoping that Darren will come in. Mr. Kubishli has coached Charlton for 14 years, both in terms of coaching ability and experience in developing players, it must be quite good, Charlton's strength should not be comparable to Millwall, I want to know, what reason can you have for Darren to choose to join Millwall? ”

Boku looked at Zhang Yang and said seriously.

Bent also looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang listened patiently, until Boku finished speaking, then pursed his lips and stretched out a finger, "First of all, if you talk about the situation in recent seasons, Millwall is indeed not as good as Charlton, but you can't be sure that Millwall's strength can't catch up with Charlton." In addition, I admit that Millwall is really much worse in terms of the forward lineup, so I hope Darren can join, and when he joins, he will be the only main striker in the front line. ”

Darren Bent's eyes lit up, if he chooses to join Charlton, he may not be able to become the main striker, even if he is sure that with his own strength, he can quickly stand in the forward position, but it is still difficult to say whether he will act as the 'first main force', after all, he is going to participate in the Premier League, he has little experience, and it is not clear what performance he will have.

If you don't play a few times and don't perform well, it's very good to have a foothold in Charlton.

Millwall is different.

Millwall don't have any good players up front, and even if he doesn't fit in for a while, there will certainly be enough games for him to adapt.

Boku nodded his head as well.

He is a football agent who values more commercial interests, but only if his players can play fame, can they bring more benefits.

Now that Darren Bent is facing the future, he will definitely choose a more promising path.

"Second."

Zhang Yang stretched out two fingers, "It's still the same sentence, Millwall's overall strength is not worse than Charlton, I have always been sure of this, you can think about it, after Christmas last season, Millwall's results, if it were Charlton Athletic, they could play a series of victories and win the league championship when they were about to be relegated halfway?" ”

“……”

Boku and Bent looked at each other and shook their heads silently.

Millwall played a 'miracle' result in the second half, even if it is only in the Championship, it is not something that ordinary Premier League mid-table teams can do, and perhaps only the giants can play such a good record in the Championship.

"The results don't speak directly to the quality, but at least they prove something, so we can't be sure of next season."

"A promoted polo team that has never been in the Premier League has many possibilities for the future, such as we may be relegated directly because we are not adaptable, or we may play well and rank in the top few in the league, all kinds of possibilities." Zhang Yang smiled and continued, "I tend to think that we will achieve good results, and that may be due to the confidence that comes from being young. There are a lot of possibilities at a young age, like Darren, I believe he knows that playing in the Premier League will soon be known by the whole world and will soon have the opportunity to be selected for the England national team. ”

Zhang Yang touted Darren Bent.

Bent immediately laughed.

Zhang Yang continued, "What about Charlton? They're a stereotypical team, and next season's results are predictable, it's going to be mid-table for a couple of seasons, and when there's a team that's been like that, I'm going to predict that they're probably going to be relegated, as is always the case in professional football. ”

"So Darren, do you want to join a team with endless possibilities and be the main striker who will create the future, or do you want to join a team with predictable results and try to find your place?"

Zhang Yang looked at Darren Bent carefully, the only reasons he could convince the other party were these two, the external situation Charlton did have an advantage, if Darren Bent still chose Charlton, he could only look for other targets.

That's a shame.

In European professional football, strikers who can play in a short period of time have already had some fame, and those future stars, such as Jamie Vardy, are not easy to say next season, and only players like Darren Bent, who are strong, have been stable, and are not too expensive, are the most suitable to introduce.

Boku didn't speak.

Darren Bent thought patiently.

After about three minutes, Darren Bent let out a long breath and said to Boku, "I can't think of a reason to refuse!" And, I'm kind of looking forward to joining Millwall. ”

"The right choice!"

Zhang Yang also exhaled a long breath and gave Darren Bent a thumbs up.

Boku listened to Bent's words, but looked at Zhang Yang, "Mr. Zhang, I must admit that you have a good eloquence, and you not only persuaded Darren, but also me. I both think going to Millwall is more promising than Charlton. ”

"Thank you."

"But it's still time to talk about it, you should know how Darren is doing, he deserves a higher salary."

Zhang Yang nodded, "I can promise to give Darren the highest salary for the whole team, but if it is beyond the club's capacity, you should know that no club will agree to such conditions." You can talk to the manager Ebenezer about the details of the contract, I am not in charge of that, I can only say try to fight for it. ”

"Okay. I'm looking forward to negotiating a move for Darren. ”

"I'm looking forward to it!"

————

After meeting Darren Bent, Zhang Yang quickly returned to the club and found Ebenezer to talk.

"We're going to get the transfer done quickly and don't have any more problems in the middle!"

That's what flamboyant demands.

Zhang Yang is not interested in knowing how much transfer money the club will pay, and how much salary Darren Bent will get in the contract.

That's none of his business.

Darren Bent has agreed to come to Millwall, he's got the job done, and then it's up to Ebenezer to do it.

After that, the transfer went well.

After Darren Bent had an affirmative answer that day, Ipswich agreed to Millwall's £3 million transfer offer, and Millwall FC could also contact Darren Bent's agent Boku head-on to discuss the details of the player's contract.

That was the next day.

From the moment Ipswich agreed to the offer, there was basically no suspense about Darren Bent transferring to Millwall, and as Zhang Yang and Ebenezer said, as long as Darren Bent joined, the squad was basically complete.

Up front, with Darren Bent, Braniff, Neil Aris and Jamie Vardy, along with a youth player Kirkland Weston, the five forward staffing is almost complete.

Four new players have been introduced to the back line, and together with the original veteran players, it has also become the largest number of players on the three fronts.

Don't worry about the midline.

Jody Morris and Marvin Oliott are both pretty good midfield midfielders, with an occasional outburst David Livermore, the main lineup is completely fine, and the two wings also have Joey Healy and Josh Simpson.

The midfield line, especially the two wings, is still a little weak, but in Millwall's situation, it is impossible to pick and choose, and continuing to replenish the lineup can only add some bench depth.

This aspect is left to the club's operations department.

Zhang Yang also has to start his own job - develop a set of tactics that are most suitable for next season!

It's unusual!

Most managers have their own style of play, and they will also bring in players who are suitable for tactics according to their own tactical requirements during the transfer period, and there is no such thing as 'formulating tactics according to the situation'.

Publicity is different.

Zhang Yang has only been exposed to football tactics for a short time, but there is no special 'tactical style' to speak of.

That's not what he's good at.

Zhang Yang also has a good ability related to tactics, that is, the newly acquired advanced ability of the head coach: speech and spirit calculation......
