Chapter Seventy-Six: The Parade of Champions
The next day, early in the morning, a double-decker bus stopped at the entrance of the hotel where the players were staying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe players and coaches who slept soundly in the hotel last night put on their commemorative uniforms and stepped onto the bus.
The bus departs from the Recour Park Stadium and heads along the banks of the Garron River, up the river bank to the Plaza de Cancons, from the Plaza de Cancons to the Civic Center, and finally from the Civic Center to the final location, Plaza de la Victory.
Today is a temporary holiday stipulated by the city government, so many citizens cheered for the team along the way.
Bordeaux's players and coaches also waved to the people around them, sometimes holding up trophies to signal to cheering citizens.
Fan Shang also waved at passers-by with some excitement at first, but after a long time, he felt a little tired, so he sat in the back with the coaching staff.
"Fan Shang, when are you going to report to the national team?" Battistone asked as he sat down.
"Don't worry, isn't there another round of the league? Before we leave, we have to look at the recruitment of next year, and which players will not be retained this year. Fan Shang said.
"yes, some should be gone, Christopher shouldn't stay. Hey, it's a pity, he's from our academy! Battistone sighed.
"I won't keep him if he doesn't leave, his shooting ability ...... And his personality is also a little ......, "Fan Shang doesn't care about selling Dugarry at all." "I just don't know if Zinedin and Richard will ever leave." Vincent is now worried about Zidane and Witzger, and he doesn't want to lose these two counterattack launch points, but Zidane's departure should not change much, and Witzger needs to be persuaded now.
'Zinedin will probably go for higher honours and as for Richard I heard that Ajax have several main players to go and they want Richard to come back and bring the young players with them. Neither of them is easy to stay, one is to go to a wealthy family to develop, and the other is to return to the place where they have the most feelings. Rohr interjected
"yes, I think we're going to have some time to talk to them, and if they're up to it, then we'll need to find someone who can replace the two of them." Fan Shang nodded.
The bus kept moving forward, and Fan Shang sat in the back seat, constantly sweeping the players in front of him, thinking about the question of where the players would stay this summer.
Thinking about it, before I knew it, the bus arrived at its final destination, Victory Square. Seeing the crowd of people in the square, Fan Shang felt like he was back in the Celestial Empire.
Fan Shang and the players and coaches got off the bus and walked all the way to the stage, where they kept high-fives, hugging, and even signing autographs with fans on both sides of the tunnel. In a short distance of less than 200 meters, Fan Shang walked with the players and coaches for half an hour, and when they walked onto the stage, they were all sweating profusely, but they all had happy smiles on their faces.
Fan Shang is the head coach of the team, and of course it is incumbent on him to be the first to speak on stage.
"Good morning everyone, I'm Bordeaux head coach Fan Shang, I think everyone knows me." Fan Shang's first sentence was exchanged for a burst of laughter from the fans below. "Well, it looks like we all know each other. I really don't have any words to express my gratitude to you right now, and allow me to express my gratitude in an oriental way. With that, Fan Shang took a step to the right, and then bowed ninety degrees to the fans.
When the fans saw Fan Shang bowing, most of them were flattered, and then there was a sparse applause, and then the applause became louder and louder, and slowly the entire Victory Square was a round of applause for Fan Shang.
Fan Shang raised his body and returned to the microphone, "We have nothing to reciprocate for your support, I just hope that we can celebrate together here every year in the future!" ”
The applause below was even more intense, mixed with cheers and screams.
Then came the speeches of the rest of the team, and almost everyone received applause and cheers from the fans, but they were not as strong as those few words.
Until Dugarry came out to speak, "I've been playing here since I was a kid and I'm happy to get such an honour with the team now. But next time I don't know if I'll have such a chance. By the time Dugari had finished, the applause and cheers of the fans gradually stopped, and there was silence in its place, followed by some voices.
"Christopher, don't go"
"Christopher, you stay" and other voices came from the crowd of fans.
"nnd, it's not easy to do, this kid is quite good at pretending to be pitiful, obviously you want to go to AC Milan, and now you're still here crying rats, and I think I'll have to face the fans' doubts when I sell you!" Fan Shang scolded Dugari a few words in his heart. "You have to sell Dugari quickly, I don't remember what he did well at the European Championships, Zidane will be sold after the European Championships."
It wasn't until around 4 p.m. that the team celebrating the championship slowly dispersed, and the players and coaches who had been excited all day went back to rest. Before dispersing, Vincent asked the players to train on time tomorrow in preparation for the final league game away to Lille on the 18th.
Vincent did not return home at this time, he returned to the club with François's car, and on the way he carefully looked at the contract that Teo had offered him a while earlier. The annual salary is nearly ten times higher than now, and other aspects are also good, but there is one point, there is no right to transfer, which makes Fan Shang a little difficult. As a person who is familiar with history, what capital is there to gain a foothold in the current position, isn't it to know more about some stars, and know where to find treasures? Now, without the right to transfer, those advantages of Vincent will be lost, and Vincent does not think he can use the players at his disposal to develop the most suitable tactics like Benitez or Rehhagel.
Along the way, Fan Shang just looked at the contract silently and did not say a word to François next to him.
Upon arriving at the club, Vincent followed François into his office, and after he sat down, François spoke first.
"Fan Shang, how is your contract? Where do we start? ”
"Right now," Fan Shang said, looking at the contract in his hand again
"Okay, so what do you think of this contract? I think you took a closer look at it just now. François said
"Well, look, it's basically good, but there is a little bit of a problem I have."
"What's the problem?"
"I want to be able to take control of the transfer rights of the team, both in and out." Fan Shang said
"This?" François didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't expect Vincent to make such a request, he originally thought that Vincent might ask questions about annual salary or years of service. "I don't have the right to decide this, do you have any comments on the other terms?"
"No, I just need the transfer rights of the team." Fan Shang said
"Actually, you really don't have to do this, now that I'm the manager, I will agree to your transfer proposals, why do you have to fight for this thing?" François asked the question in his mind.
"I know that, but I don't promise it won't interfere, do I? You don't have transfer rights in the terms of your contract, do you? Fan Shang explained
"It's really not in my contract, but it's the norm for our French club to have the right to transfer the manager."
"Practice is not a contract clause, and I don't want someone in my team that I don't like, or the core of my team being sold for no reason." Fan Shang said firmly.
"What you say makes sense, but I can't make a decision on this matter, I need to inform Louie." François said to Vincent
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." With that, Vincent got up and said goodbye to François.
On the way home, Fan Shang was not sure if he could get the right to transfer in the end. The youngest coach, although Fan Shang led the team to win the UEFA Cup, but the qualifications are still too shallow, and it is indeed difficult to transfer the right at this time.
In the end, if Theo does not agree to Vincent, he can only sign the current contract, and then it is really like what François said, anyway, there is still François as the manager, and the relationship between the two of them should not have any tricks in the transfer.
