With less than two hours to go before the opening match of Euro XXV at the historic stadium, a match that should have been firmly in the headlines of major sports newspapers was completely stolen by an unexpected piece of news.
Official: Chinese consortium completes takeover of Sunderland FC. -- Spain's "Marca."
The Premier League has changed dramatically: a mysterious force from the East has landed in England, and the Sunderland boss has changed his surname to "Medium". -- Germany's "Kicker."
"Bringing in" or "going out"? Sunderland could become the guinea pig for change in Chinese football. -- Italy's "Milan Sports Newspaper."
It is rumored that the Premier League will usher in the first Chinese coach in history, and Sunderland is dawning? -- The British "Sun."
News about Sunderland's change of boss has sprung up in the world's leading football newspapers, but since Sunderland has not made any public news about Nan Xiao becoming the club's new head coach, there is no report about Nan Xiao in the news for the time being. But Nan Xiao, who is now outside the Stade de France with BBC.Sport.News, is still surprised by the bullfork of the Sun grapevine; he does not understand French, but still occasionally hears the word "China" from some English speakers.
With the final three whistles, the French team finally defeated the Romanian team 2-1 with Giroud's header and Payet's world wave to win the first victory of this European Cup; Nan Xiao did not get much value out of this game, although West Ham United star Payet made a pass and shot all over the field, but because of his own inconsistency, Nan Xiao has already put him on the blacklist, which will not change because of one of his outstanding performances.
It seemed that this trip to Paris was about to come to naught, Nan Xiao took a taxi back to the hotel booked online, and after a simple wash, he took out the ipad in his backpack and opened his private mailbox, where 6 unread emails were lying lazily waiting for him to review.
Five of the six emails were essentially the same, arriving at the player's club at a different time today and will start contacting the club early tomorrow morning. Only a different email was sent by Chief Scout Houston, which stated that the first player he was responsible for was Conca, who played in China, and after a brief conversation with SIPG, although the club was not very reluctant to let Conca go, the player himself was not very interested in the team's invitation; Houston didn't stay at SIPG for too long due to the short time available, but he will continue to negotiate with the player himself over the next few days, hoping to finally convince him to accept the team's offer.
Nan Xiao turned off his iPad, collapsed on the soft big bed, stared at the ceiling, and muttered to himself.
"Conca, Conca, don't you even have a dream of playing in the top league in the world? What makes you so unmotivated, and where is your Argentinian arrogance? Alas...... Hopefully, the next few days in Houston will bring out the desires that are hidden in your heart......"
“Because.of.you,In.ever.stray.too.far.from.the.sidewalk……”
"Hey, Superman, what's the call in the middle of the night?"
Nan Xiao glanced at the watch on his wrist, it was already 0:30 in the morning.
"In the middle of the night? It's half past seven in the morning......"
Hearing this, Nan Xiao suddenly remembered that Shen Chao was now in China, so he scratched his forehead and said with a wry smile.
"Well, I'm in Paris, it's the middle of the night."
"Oh, then I didn't disturb your rest, did I?" Shen Chao was quite concerned about him.
"No, if you have anything, just say it, it's an international call." Nan Xiao closed his eyes and replied.
"Good news for you." Shen Chao's voice suddenly became excited, "I saw Tianjin Quanjian's head coach Cannavaro today, this guy is really handsome, more handsome than what I saw on TV before, and his blue eyes are ......."
"To the point!" Nan Xiao was really speechless, and interrupted him angrily, "Are you a nymphomaniac?" ”
"Oh, okay." Shen Chao seemed to be frightened by Nan Xiao's scolding on the other end of the phone, and paused for a few seconds before continuing: "I negotiated with Cannavaro today, although he values Zhang Xiuwei very much, but for the sake of the player's own development, he basically agreed to sell the player to us, as long as we provide a reasonable offer." ”
"Is it reasonable for him to disclose how much the cost is?" When Nan Xiao heard the news, he slightly diluted his previous depressed mood.
"Yes, I originally thought he would open his mouth, after all, the current situation of Chinese players' value premium is too serious, and it is a transfer fee of tens of millions of yuan at every turn, and a new star with great potential like Zhang Xiuwei can't ask for a few million euros, but I didn't expect that after talking, as long as there are 300,000 euros, he can nod this deal."
"What about the player himself, what is his attitude towards this transfer?" This is what Nan Xiao values most, and he doesn't want the same tragedy to happen to this Chinese player again.
"Players? Give him a 20-year-old kid the chance to play in the Premier League, and he can still have a hairy and unhappy fart. ”
Although the words were a little rough, Nan Xiao was still very happy to hear Shen Chao say this, he opened his eyes and said: "Okay, in the next few days, you will provide him with a contract according to the club's regular substitute positioning, and all the salary conditions will be according to the minimum standard first, if he is not satisfied, you will tell me." ”
"No problem, I'll ask you for instructions as soon as I have news here, and I promise that I won't drop the chain for you." Shen Chao said on the other end of the phone with a package ticket.
"Well, let's do it for now, and I'll contact you when there's new news from there."
"No problem, Dizi, you just wait for the news of your buddy's victory."
"By the way, the time difference between China and France is 7 hours, calculate the time difference when you call next time, if it disturbs me to sleep, I won't be able to clean you up next time."
"Dude knows, don't worry...... By the way, is the 7-hour time difference counted forward or backward? ”
“……”
The scenery of the capital Paris is beautiful, but Nan Xiao can only wave goodbye with regret, the past three months of running have made him accustomed to this kind of days in a city no more than three days; In the waiting hall of Le Bourget Airport, Nan Xiao sat in an aluminum chair and took out the player profiles that Houston handed him at the last meeting; Houston has done a lot of hard work, and the report is clear and clear, with players with no special status in black and those with special status in red, and the details at the end of the name.
There are a total of 13 red names, Nan Xiao took a cursory look, and 4 of them terminated their contracts with the club, although Nan Xiao was helpless about this situation, but out of caution Houston still presented them on the report; The three players are about to leave the team on loan in the new season, Nan Xiao looked at their information and the assistant coach's advice, and there was no different opinion; Two players have expired their contracts and are now free agents in the transfer market; One of the things that caught Nanxiao's attention the most was that the club was in talks about the transfer of three players, namely Watford's desire to bring in Dennis for 3 million euros. Cabool, Wigan Athletic asks Horty. Gomez, as well as Napoli's €2 million bid for Italy international striker Giaccherini.
After a brief understanding of the team's situation, the waiting hall also came to the radio to remind the boarding, Nan Xiao put away the information, got up and walked towards the flight channel, he took out the ticket in his arms, passed through the ticket gate, and after the laser pointer scanned, the computer in the control center displayed: Nan Xiao, 1:30 p.m., Paris to Beijing.
