Chapter 5: Diego. Simone
"Hey, another one!"
Danny, a staff member of the New York Red Bull Club, suddenly received a quotation from Spain, he picked up the fax and glanced at it, Rao has been ******** for this time, but seeing the number on the quotation, Danny still looked stunned, and then quickly walked towards the head coach's office upstairs.
Major League Soccer is in full swing, but Europe on the other side of the world has already ended all the games of the game and entered the intermission, and the summer transfer window will open soon, so during this time, New York Red Bulls have received a lot of offers from European clubs, without exception, all of which are inquiries about Yu Qin Shou.
Danny is no longer surprised, since Qin Shou returned from the UK, his outstanding performance has been attracting the attention of many scouts from Europe, and the transfer rumors about him have never stopped. As a member of the transfer department, Danny is very clear about the club's attitude - as long as Qin Shou agrees, then the club will not set up any obstacles.
The New York Red Bulls can't keep a young and excellent player like Qin Shou, let alone the Red Bull, the entire major leagues can't keep him. However, he was very curious that in the face of so many olive branches, Qin Shou had no choice, did Qin Shou really not want to play in Europe? Isn't it a stage in Europe's top five leagues that all professional players aspire to land?
Of course, what Qin Shou thought, Danny didn't have the heart to guess, and he was not qualified to care, he now rushed to the door of the head coach's office in a hurry, tidied up his clothes a little, and then knocked on the door.
"Mr. Dietmar, I ......"
Because of the rush of running, Danny was still a little out of breath when he entered the room, and he was a little out of breath when he spoke.
"I've said it many times, Danny, don't be so frizzy, you will think of a way to solve big things, so at all times, you need to keep a normal heart." Dietmar frowned.
"Yes, yes, sir." Danny took two deep breaths to calm his emotions, then walked quickly to the desk and delivered the latest quotation to Dittmar, "Sir, we just received a quotation, please take a look......"
Danny's voice was slightly excited and excited, and Dietmar frowned again, "It's just a quotation, don't make a fuss, in recent times, is there less such a thing?" Danny, if you're so frizzy again, I'm ......."
Before the word "I" was finished, Dittmar's eyes suddenly widened when he looked at the quotation, and his tone was full of incredulity, "Ten million euros? I'm not mistaken, so many ......."
Dittmar finally came to his senses, no wonder Danny was so impatient, this is 10 million euros! In American soccer circles, that's not a small amount. Although many American teams spend a lot of money on transfers every season, they are all spent on bringing in players! Few players who have moved from Major League Soccer to Europe have reached the value of 10 million euros.
signed Qin Shou without spending a penny, and between this coming and going, it was at least 10 million times the profit!
What's more, the other party is really very sincere, 10 million, which is more than double the highest of all the clubs that have made offers so far!
In the face of such a huge temptation of money, Dietmar was also a little stunned, and had to sigh: European tyrants, there are really a lot!
After a while, Dietmar put down the offer in his hand and looked at Danny: "Tell them that we allow them to contact the players. ”

Qin Shou pushed open the wooden door of the Violet Bar, and the drinkers inside were talking about the previous competition. Seeing Qin Shou come in, the bar suddenly boiled.
"Ha, look, look, our big star is back!"
"Wow, what a good job today, Qin, your free kick is really beautiful! I can see that the goalkeeper was beaten like an idiot by you, ha, not even a reaction! ”
"Two more goals today, Karl, Karl, you miser, should you treat us to a drink today?"
Qin Shou and the familiar drinkers smiled and nodded in greeting. Since he returned to the United States, the business of Violet Bar has improved, especially when there are games, and many fans know that Qin Shou used to work here, so they are happy to come here on the day of the game to watch the game and drink at the same time, and there is a gradual trend towards a football-themed bar.
"You're back, Qin?"
Old Carl greeted Qin Shou from afar, he pursed his lips and looked at the small booth in the corner, "Your friend is looking for you." ”
Qin Shou looked over there and saw his agent Anderson standing up and waving to him, next to Anderson, a middle-aged man with short black hair and a scruffy beard was sitting quietly with a wine glass in his hand, he was wearing a black suit, facing a little fierce, in the noisy bar, even if he was sitting in the corner, it was extremely eye-catching.
Qin Shou searched quickly in his mind and came to the conclusion that he didn't know. "Looks like a friend of Anderson." , Qin Shou grinned and walked over.
"Well done today, Qin, ha, my voice is almost hoarse, oh, I didn't expect the atmosphere at Red Bull Park to be so crazy, even an old man of my age is infected."
Anderson smiled and hugged Qin Shou gently, and patted Qin Shou on the shoulder, "You did a good job today, you played so beautifully!" ”
"You're here to watch? When did it come? ”
Qin Shou was slightly stunned, Anderson's economic company is not in the United States, he is also a busy man, flying everywhere in the world, he is a veritable "trapeze", Qin Shou has not seen him for almost two months, he didn't expect to suddenly appear in front of him this time, and he also went to the home court of the Red Bull to watch a game.
"I'll surprise you." Anderson smiled and continued, "I'm here to do something by the way, it's about you. ”
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the man in the suit next to him.
Qin Shou suddenly dared to love Anderson who flew to the United States as an escort, it seems that the real protagonist is the one in front of him.
"It's a good wine, it's strong." The man in the suit poured the remaining wine in the cup into his mouth, then stood up, and then smiled hard at Qin Shou, "Hello, Qin, I'm Diego, Diego." Simeone, you can call me Simon. ”
Qin Shou was stunned for a moment by the smile of the man in the suit. It's not that the other party's smile is not good-looking, it's just that ...... This guy has a fierce face, and it is estimated that he rarely laughs, but when he laughs at this time, he feels weird, as if he is a person with facial paralysis, forcing himself to grin, and that feeling is quite creepy.
It's a bit rude for others to greet with a smile, but not to respond. Qin Shou nodded, stretched out his hand and shook the other party: "Hello, Mr. Simone." I'm Qin Shou. ”
Simone shook hands with Qin Shou while looking at each other fixedly. But soon he was disappointed, and after introducing himself, Qin Shou was gone.
This makes Simeone a little crazy, do I have a public face, or in the United States, am I not famous at all? This guy really doesn't know or is pretending to be stupid.
Looking at the other party with a puzzled look, Qin Shou was a little confused, this guy, what has been looking at me weirdly, inexplicable!
Anderson next to him showed a wry smile, he knew that Qin Shou, who was a monk halfway, didn't know much about celebrities in European football, so he snorted and hurriedly introduced Qin Shou: "Simon used to be a member of the Argentine national team and is now a head coach. Head coach of Atletico Madrid. ”
As soon as these words came out, Simone and Qin Shou suddenly came over. The former understands that the other party really doesn't know him, while the latter nods, and as soon as the identity of the other party is clear, the purpose of this visit is very clear.
Soon, the three of them sat down, and Old Carl personally sent two glasses of wine and a cup of tea, squeezed his eyebrows at Qin Shou for a while, and then returned to the bar and drank by himself.
"Tea?"
Simone picked up the wine glass in front of him, but his eyes looked at the teacup in front of Qin Shou fixedly, slightly surprised.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Simeone, I don't drink much." Qin Shou smiled and explained.
The surprise in Simeone's eyes skimmed over, but a look of appreciation resurfaced: "Although I like alcohol very much, I have to say that as a professional player, it is better to drink less." ”
Qin Shou smiled and nodded, turned sideways, lowered his head and whispered in Anderson's ear: "Have you been in contact with the club?" ”
In fact, FIFA has a clear rule that other clubs are not allowed to contact players privately without the club's consent to authorize, the purpose of which is for the stability of football from time to time, and there are also certain moral constraints, after all, private poaching is not advocated by FIFA.
Of course, it is not known how many people still follow this rule to this day.
Anderson understood what Qin Shou meant, and he nodded: "Don't worry, everything is a regular procedure." ”
Qin Shou nodded again, looked at Simone, who was concentrating on tasting wine, and did not speak.
He didn't know what to say, it was obvious that the other party had come to invite him to join his team, and he spoke first, didn't this mean that he was eager for the other team? This is the loss of the opportunity for negotiations.
Qin Shou took a sip of tea while he was there, and began to recall the information of Atletico Madrid Club in his mind.
Of course, he doesn't know much, only that the opponent is a team from the Spanish top league, which can be regarded as a strong team, and more importantly, it is not the first time that Atletico Madrid has expressed his desire for himself. A few months earlier, they had also made a transfer request to Red Bull.
It's just that I was rejected by myself at the time.
And now...... Hey, the sincerity is really good, it turned out that the head coach came in person.
As he thought so, Simeone had already drunk all the wine in his glass. He put down the cup, then turned his head to look at Qin Shou, and said very directly: "Qin, my intention is very simple. Yes, my team and I are very optimistic about you and hope that you will join Atletico Madrid. ”
Qin Shou paused for a moment, and said secretly, it's really simple and straightforward.
