Chapter 24 - Excessive Agreements
Hazard's technical prowess has been truly impressive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But he has a common flaw among all talented players - a tangled and sensitive personality.
His relationship with the manager has been up and down, and he is extremely sensitive and conceited with his team-mates. In Rudy Garcia's view, his talent and personality are completely opposed, and the hidden dangers will definitely limit his performance in the higher leagues.
The taciturn French coach Rudi Garcia was just an unknown third-rate playmaker in his playing days, but after taking up the whip, he became the most dazzling "magician" in Ligue 1 today - loved by almost all the fans of his team. Still, Garcia's fame was not enough to make Hazard subservient.
Rudy felt that it was difficult for him to sort out the tangled and sensitive heart of the "little scum".
So, why did Newcastle's Zhang Shaoshuai bring Hazard's talent to Newcastle United in the original form?
Hazard's performance of a thousand miles of solitary riding was not appreciated by his team-mates. For the first time in his life, he felt lonely for no reason. He didn't hold his head high and make any more superfluous movements. Even Mu Ne felt strange even to himself.
That's the end of the training? But not yet, we have to experiment a few more times.
The rest of the squad had returned to their respective positions, and Hazard was touched on the head by fellow group Moussa Sow before he came to his senses and returned to the front of the centre circle ready to continue the attack.
Because his previous heads-up behavior had not been recognized, this time, he restrained a lot. From a dribbling maniac to a passing engine. More often than not, he stands still, runs passively, and doesn't even want to take part in the shot. If you can pass to the small penalty area, then you will never take one more step. His urgent change in style still makes his teammates feel awkward.
Hazard's timing of his choice of passing is not necessarily very good, his vision is average, but his footwork is superb and he has enough confidence in the landing point of the ball.
After more than ten minutes, he created three threatening balls decently, but his teammates were caught in the bag and could not directly grasp the score. However, the Gervinho squad focused on attacking his part in the counterattack. If the defense is slack, Hazard's team loses badly. The final score was fixed at 4:2.
Rudy Garcia announces the end of the morning session. Hazard was the first to walk out of the pitch and was embarrassed to say hello when he saw Zhang Lihua.
"He's not mentally mature. It is necessary to stimulate his fighting spirit from time to time. Fat Mo said next to the young marshal Newcastle.
"Maybe you can lead him to the right path, but I watched this kid make his debut. Now he's a little extreme. I've been in the UK for a few years and haven't had much contact with him. After all, many teams can't afford it. Dad, I haven't worked for a wealthy family in years. George Sr. was slightly disappointed and regretful, as if he recalled the scene many years ago, when he brought Eden Hazard to Lille for a trial for the first time.
Zhang Lihua didn't say a word during the whole training session. Even Kiki secretly filmed him many moments with his mobile phone, but he didn't notice it.
The energy that the young marshal devotes to his work can be described as a model for all professional managers. His companions always felt him serious and heavy-hearted—he was forever silent as he worked.
At the end of the Lille team's internal training match, Zhang Lihua walked straight to the empty green field. Kiki obeyed his instructions and led Fei Mo and the others back to the manor to prepare for the negotiation with Hazard in the afternoon.
There was a huge training ground, and now only Rudy was left alone - looking cross-legged at the lawn, thoughtful.
"Hello, Mr. Rudy Garcia, I'm Zhang Lihua, the head coach of Newcastle United. It's a pleasure to meet you. "Rudy is a humble man with a loyal and honest face. The young marshal had a good impression of him.
"Oh, hello Mister Zhang, do you have any advice?"
"On behalf of the club, I came to buy the rights to Eden Hazard from Lille. Do you feel embarrassed to let Hazard go during the winter window? I would like to talk to you about this as a friend. ”
"Zhang, Lille for the Ligue 1 title this season...... Edang's performance was outstanding, he ...... He's very smart and very important for the team. You saw his performance, and I don't want to sell it if you offer 100 million. I'm serious. "Garcia was a little nervous.
"Mr. Garcia, I understand what you said. But that's why I wanted to take him away even more. He can help Newcastle get out of the quagmire as soon as possible. If I can, I will definitely find you a suitable successor with the assistance of the FSU Alliance. ”
"Mister Zhang, I don't have the decision-making power to make transfers. It's useless for you to tell me. ”
"Rudy, we're in different leagues and there's no competition. So I really want to get to know a good coach like you. Eden Hazard is brilliant and it would be an honour to teach him. I mean, you know his worth better than I do, and you're going to have a hard time if I forcibly take him now. Say sorry to you to show my guilt for you. Sorry, Hazard will be away from you for at least a while. ”
Zhang Lihua spoke a little fast, but his tone was calm and friendly. His words were abrupt, leaving Garcia slightly puzzled.
Why, the chairman agreed to sell Hazard? Just because of the conflict before the morning training?
The loss of Hazard is no small matter. Without him, Lille is like Barcelona losing Messi.
At that time, Ronaldinho's level declined, and Barcelona had the confidence to purge him, because the first team had cultivated a higher level of quasi-ball king. Giants never lack core. However, how many teenagers will it take for a middle-class team like Lille, who have won a championship in 50 years, to meet an unformed Hazard?
Having lost blood in the title race, Garcia has reason to be depressed and disappointed.
"Mister Zhang, I'm touched when you said sorry to me or something. I can only bless you, and I wish Edang to be able to exert his greatest strength under you. However, I cannot hide from you that Edang is seriously flawed in his personality. I hope you can enlighten him well. Garcia froze and spoke sincerely.
"Mr. Garcia, you should know about his upbringing, so did he have a bad influence from his family?"
"I'm sorry. He and I rarely chatted. That's where you need to ...... Anyway, I don't know how to explain it. I hope he develops well. After all, it's the best player I've ever had. ”
Zhang Lihua symbolically shakes hands with Rudy Garcia. can feel Garcia's feelings for Hazard.
There's no coach who doesn't like geniuses, there's no teacher who hates his students. Conflicts are often only due to the opposition of the position, not from the intention of the parties.
"There's no rush. Hazard will be back immediately. Listen to me......"
Zhang Lihua didn't want Garcia to hate him. So I explained what happened:
Previously, negotiations between Zhang Lihua and Seydoux were at an impasse. Seydoux agreed to end Hazard's contract at the end of the season for €30 million. But he never agreed to Zhang Lihua's proposal - 40 million euros will be sent away by Hazard in the winter window.
Money is not important, what matters is honor. The Ligue 1 champions are almost 50 years late. 10 million can't buy back the regret left by 50 years of waste!
At the critical moment, Qiqi suddenly mentioned that the winter break in Ligue 1 is as long as a month - which brought inspiration to Zhang Lihua.
As a result, Zhang Lihua signed a one-month temporary loan agreement with Chairman Seydoux for a loan fee of 200,000 euros. and promised to pay 30 million transfer funds to Lille in advance. As long as Eden Hazard does not resist, Newcastle will have the strongest support in the Premier League's worst winter showdown.
Because there is no winter break in the Premier League, Ligue 1 will be off for a month. Both teams can rely on Eden Hazard at crucial stages.
Garcia knew about it, and he had to admire the young marshal's public relations ability.
In fact, Zhang Lihua has studied a lot of Hazard. In the second half of the night, when the estate was insomnia, he systematically used Google engine to gather all the news related to Hazard. In fact, he was able to roughly deduce the context of the impact on the growth of the "little scum".
The Eden Hazard family has four children. In other words, Edang has three brothers. As the eldest son of the family, he has taken on a lot of responsibilities since he was a child. Because of his responsibilities, he had to go into the professional team too early and train with players who were much older than him. may have been ostracized by the old balls. Some of the veteran players put a lot of pressure on him. In order to prove himself, he used to work very hard, otherwise he would not have won the honor of Ligue 1 assist king at the age of 19. After that, he fell into a distorted state of mind of loneliness and self-appreciation.
Too much talent can easily make players mentally unbalanced. Garcia's knowledge reserve is not as good as that of Misty Zhang. Gambling with players and heart-to-heart with players, Zhang Lihua always has an unexpected advantage for the rest of his peers.
Listening to his delicate analysis, Garcia was convinced: "You're not easy. THE PREMIER LEAGUE WILL WELCOME ANOTHER THE-SPECIAL-ONE! ”
