Saint-Etienne were the most aggressive this time, a young player who could be sold was a big surprise and a league leader, but they still raised the weight and wanted to get $1 million. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What are you kidding?" was Fan Shang's first reaction when he got this offer. Vincent pondered for a moment, but did not understand Saint-Etienne's mental activity when he made this offer. Fan Shang is definitely not used to this problem, and the procrastination style of summer is definitely not suitable for now. "Refuse" Fan Shang asked people to directly reject the offer.

As for Makelele, Vincent has decided to go out in person and talk to Makelele. Of course, he had to communicate with Yakai before to see if he could get Shang Fang's sword. The communication with Jacques was very smooth, and Vincent was ready to step on the train to Nantes on the grounds that Makelele was injured and went to see him on behalf of the national team.

Jacques actually knew what Fan Shang meant, but he didn't care, he only cared about the results of the national team, and as an old Bordeaux, he was willing to see the old club get excellent players, so even if he knew that Fan Shang often used his banner to "swagger" outside, he didn't complain much about Fan Shang.

During Makeléle's meeting, Fan Shang learned about Makellele's current wishes. Makelele thinks that he is no longer young, although Nantes has performed well in the league in recent years, but there are still not many opportunities to show his face in European games, so Makelele now does not hope to go to a club that can continue to show his face in European competitions, at the end of last season, Bordeaux's invitation he was actually a little tempted, but after discussing with his agent, he was afraid that Bordeaux would be short-lived, so he finally let Nantes reject Bordeaux's offer to him.

"And now?" When Fan Shang heard this, he knew what was going on, "Claude, I once again extend an invitation to you on behalf of Bordeaux. "Fan Shang is very direct.

"If that's the case, I'd like to hear about how the team sees me and what the team wants to do for the future." Although Makelele was a brutalist in style, he was very shrewd in his mind.

'Your position is the same as you are in Nantes, except we ask for more coverage at the back. Vincent has a very clear positioning for Makellele, "Bordeaux has a simpler positioning for itself, we need to keep winning, there is no strongest, only stronger. ”

'You know, we at Bordeaux are attacking on the back at the moment, so the midfielder is a very important position, and when defending you need to be a barrier to the backline, sometimes even at centre-back. When we need to counter-attack, it's often the midfielders who play the ball. Fan Shang explained carefully, "This position may still be the most thankless position in the field, if you lose the ball, you may complain that your position is not standing, the protection is not in place, the counterattack goal has nothing to do with you, the counterattack does not score, that is, the ball is uncomfortable during the transition." ”

Hearing this, Makelle nodded and laughed, leaking out the two rows of big white teeth, he agreed with what Fan Shang said, the defensive midfielder is now in such an embarrassing position, but it can't be without.

"Alright, Claude, that's all I'll say, it's your turn now" Vincent threw the question to Makelele again.

Makelele was still a little hesitant before, but after listening to Vincent's words and Bordeaux's strong performance, his heart was already shaken, but he still had to be reserved. "It's not something that can be decided right away, and I need to discuss it with my family."

Fan Shang also knew what was going on, and didn't want to continue to push him anymore, "Okay, Claude, I have a train ticket back to Bordeaux tomorrow afternoon, and I'm staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Nantes." At this point, Vincent and Makelle took their leave.

Waiting is the hardest, Fan Shang's morning in the hotel the next day is this feeling, at first it was fine, watching TV, reading the newspaper, but as time slowly passed, Fan Shang kept looking out the window, and then put the phone on the table, the voice turned on to the maximum, he was looking forward to Makelele's attitude, even a phone call didn't care.

Fan Shang finished his lunch in anxiety and began to pack his things and prepare to go to the train station. At this time, Fan Shang basically had no expectations, and a morning had passed, and there was no news at all.

Just as Fan Shang was taking his bag and preparing to open the door, there was a knock at the door. "Why did someone clean up before the hotel checked out?" Fan Shang thought in his heart.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a stranger standing in the doorway, and next to him was a grinning Makelele. Fan Shang closed the door again, and opened it again in disbelief. The two people standing at the door looked confused at this time, glanced at each other, and then looked at Fan Shang. The three of them looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter, which made the waiter who passed by cast a strange look in this direction.

Vincent let the two into the room, knowing that the one he didn't know was Makelele's agent, and two hours later, the two put him on a train south to Bordeaux.

Before returning to Bordeaux, Fan Shang made a phone call to François, asking the club to transfer Makelele with Nantes as soon as possible, 3 million US dollars, all used on Makelele Fan Shang also felt that it was worth it, but of course there was still negotiation, if it can be saved, Fan Shang still needs to introduce other players.

On the phone, François also told Vincent about another transfer, that is, Saint-Etienne, who had previously rejected Vincent, contacted Bordeaux to ask about Sagnol's transfer, hoping that Bordeaux was thinking about it, and this time they dropped it to $800,000.

Fan Shang felt that it would be difficult to talk about refusing again this time, and then told François to let him communicate with Saint-Etienne, saying that he was not interested in Sagnol now, and 300,000 US dollars would be the psychological bottom line of Bordeaux now.

After Vincent returned to Bordeaux, he sat down in his office once again and began to work on several transfers. Caen and Saint-Etienne are similar, they are also more positive, and they also know how to bargain on the ground, and they did not back down because of Bordeaux's high price for Bancarel, and they began to actively communicate with Bordeaux, hoping to get Banclair at a more suitable price.

The communication between the two clubs was very fruitful, and in the end, the two teams negotiated the condition that Bancarel would be replaced by Gallas plus Vincent to choose another player, Jérome? Roten is a player found by Vincent in Caen's youth team.

Jérôme? If Roten has a normal trajectory, he will shine in Monaco in 2004, and then switch to Paris Saint-Germain, his reason for transfer is very straightforward, there were not a few giants who were optimistic about him at that time, and there was no other meaning to choose Paris Saint-Germain, because his dream since childhood was to play for Paris Saint-Germain. He sank in the place where he was born, and he didn't play as well as he should, and although he played a lot of games, he no longer had the aura he had in Monaco.

Fan Shang felt that Luo Teng definitely had potential, and he was added to the deal to be a substitute for Pire, the two of them are in the same position and have similar styles, but Fan Shang did not expect Luo Teng to be in Bordeaux in the future, he had already calculated Paris Saint-Germain when he made this deal.

The biggest advantage of this transfer to Bordeaux is that it does not cost a penny, that is, it solves the way out of the players who are not in Vincent's plan, and acquires two future potential shares, which is a win-win situation.

Saint-Etienne seems to be very concerned about this transfer, they received Bordeaux's reply, they were not discouraged, and continued to recommend Sagnol to Bordeaux, the price has been reduced to Bordeaux's first offer of 500,000, but they hope to loan two Bordeaux players to help the team relegation.

It turned out to be like this, and Vincent figured out that Saint-Etienne, who are now ranked 16th in the second division, needed someone to pull them along, and the offer from Bordeaux gave them a glimmer of hope. Vincent asked Saint-Etienne what position he needed and if Bordeaux was rich, he wouldn't be stingy, and letting the young players go out and practice was what Vincent wanted to see.
