On a moonlit and starry summer night, a person sat alone under the palm tree, looking at the night sky overhead, counting the stars in his heart, passing the time, but he couldn't get rid of the melancholy in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
What's going on?
When Drogba returned home, he called his agent to find out what was going on, but he told him that he was in Milan, Italy, and that he was discussing something with Inter Milan, and that he would wait until tomorrow when he returned to Manchester, and talk to him in detail.
Is there really something you can't say on the phone?
Drogba felt more and more unbearable heaviness, and although he was very reluctant to believe it, he had to suspect that there must be something inside his transfer that he did not know, or it should be said that Sadie deliberately concealed him.
What could it be?
Drogba shook his head with a headache, he couldn't figure out what he could think.
"If you continue to shake like this, just take your head off!" His wife, Allah, came from behind, sat down beside Drogba, and looked at her husband with a smile.
Don't think Drogba is a football star, just intuitively think that he is very smart, but in fact, many times he is still stupid and stupid, as if he is a stupid big man, and he is still the same Drogba who helped her open a shop and take care of business at Le Mans.
"Are the kids asleep?" Drogba asked with concern.
For them, the child is their backbone, and sometimes Drogba even thinks that everything he does is for the child, so no matter what decision he makes, he is thinking more about the child.
"Well, but Isaac is talking in his dreams!" Allah laughed.
"Scolding me?" Drogba asked with a wry smile.
Allah shook his head, "No, of course he won't scold you, it just looks like he's going to stop talking to you for a while!" ”
Drogba smiled wryly, how could he answer? Is it necessary for a 10-year-old to understand why he left the Red Rebels? Or do you want him to understand that leaving is a good outcome for both parties?
"Actually, I've heard a lot of news these days!" When Allah saw Drogba's appearance, he finally couldn't help but speak.
Drogba looked at his wife, "What's the news?" ”
"You know, I have a good relationship with the people in the community, and they usually talk to me, and there is one thing I didn't tell you before, because I saw that you were determined to leave, so I thought about it, and I still don't talk about it, but now...... I think you should have the necessary thing to know! ”
Seeing his wife say this, Drogba immediately realized that what his wife said must not be simple.
"They told me that Mourinho's initial decision was to keep you as much as possible, and the club had made up their minds to give you a new two-year contract extension with the same salary, but for some reason, after the club's first meeting with Sadie, they decided to listen to the offer!"
After Drogba heard this, he was stunned, he knew that the club wanted to keep him, Sadie said that the club did want to keep him, and did give him a two-year contract, but the salary will drop by 20% year by year, which makes Drogba a little annoyed, because he is only 31 years old, not yet at that age.
"Another thing, I also heard it, I heard that Mr. Xiao Yu gave Mark? Mr. David gave the order, if you are sure to go, they don't want to put too many obstacles on the transfer fee, the purpose is to ensure your salary in the new team, so all along, the team's asking price is not high, about 15 million euros, but no one expected that in the end they would accept Inter Milan's offer of 8 million euros, which is a bit outrageous! ”
Speaking of this, Allah looked at her husband, "I heard these two pieces of news, no one knows what your real surname is, but I know that you have been in the football circle for so many years, and you are used to seeing those tricks, you must know better than me what is going on!" ”
Drogba didn't speak, and Allah didn't continue, she was a very smart woman, so she understood that what Drogba needed at this time was to think, to weigh, not to have a woman chattering in his ear.
It was a long time before Drogba moved, but did not speak.
"I think you should think about it, Didier, we've been in Manchester for eight years, and for the first time in those eight years, I feel like home, we don't have to be the same as before, the kids are growing up here, Isaac is studying here, they're friends and friends here, they're all about it, they're all familiar with it."
"I know you men want to make a career and make a difference, and I know what you're capable of, but I want you to think about it, is career really that important? Is it really worth giving up everything we've worked so hard to accumulate in Manchester over the past 8 years? ”
"When we go to Milan, the children have to start learning Italian again, Isaac has to find a school again, I have to make some friends again, I have to learn Italian again, and then we have to start to integrate into a new life and atmosphere again, even we adults find it hard, what about children?"
As a typical housewife, Allah doesn't understand that much, she only looks at these issues from the perspective of a housewife, and all of this is something that Drogba has ignored before.
"I don't know much about football, I don't know many stars, but I often hear people mention that there was once a very admirable star in the Manchester United team, called Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, although he was not the main player in the team, but he was the hero of Manchester United's peak, although he was a substitute, but he is still a star that fans talk about, even if it is a few decades later, everyone will still remember that Manchester United once had such a player."
Speaking of this, Allah stood up from under the palm tree, patted her husband on the shoulder gently, and sighed, "I don't understand anything, I only know how to take care of the family, take care of the children, take care of the husband, but I really hope that you can think about it, is it worth leaving Manchester?" ”
"No matter what you decide, I will always support you because I am your wife!"
Drogba was silent, he didn't know how to answer, and silently looked at Allah who walked home, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Leaving under the palm trees, he walked in the huge courtyard, stepped on the cobblestone path, turned around, and saw a mansion, although this mansion is not as good as Kaka and others, but it is actually worth a lot, but the price for Drogba to get this mansion is not high, because this is what Xiao Yu helped him get from it, and now he makes at least several times as much.
8 years ago, he was just a black young man who was doing business near the Le Mans circuit, and he didn't know if he could continue to play professional football, he just dreamed of playing a professional football game, and never thought that one day, he could join the best top clubs in the world, win the Premier League championship, win the European Champions Cup, and make history.
He will be one of the brightest stars in the history of African and Premier League football!
Now at 31 years old, he is no longer in his prime, but he is still ambitious to make another career, and he has begun to enter the end of his career, and he has to think about his life after retirement.
Therefore, he could not accept the Red Rebels' demand for a pay cut, which he considered to be a reckless disregard for his contribution to the club!
But is that really the case today?
........................ "Hey, Isaac!" ”
When Sadie walked into Drogba's house, Isaac was about to go to school, but this little ghost, who usually greeted him warmly, seemed so unfriendly today, glared at him coldly, and walked out.
He was blaming Sadie for instigating his father to defect from the Red Rebels!
"What's going on with Isaac today?" Sadie smiled and sat down across from Drogba.
Drogba looked at his agent, who had been cooperating with each other for many years, sighed, took out a copy of the Sun from the sofa next to him, and threw it directly on the table, "Sadie, my friend, tell me, what's going on?" ”
Seeing Drogba so solemn, Sadie smiled and pointed at him, obviously thinking that he was making a fuss, and casually took the Sun newspaper from the table, and the headline on the front page was the news of Drogba's defection to Inter Milan.
The more I looked at it, the more surprised I became, because Sadie saw some speculation in this, but in fact it was not far from the truth.
The Sun, although this newspaper is very vulgar and popular, but in fact he has another specialty in the European transfer market, that is, their sensitivity to transfers, from the earliest Beckham transfer, the Sun sensitively photographed Kenyon and Real Madrid's Sanchez meeting on the island, to the transfer of stars such as Palacio.
With the admirable revelations in the transfer market in the past, the summer sales of The Sun are always particularly high!
Of course, this can also be understood as the fact that the Sun has broken too many revelations and a lot of inaccuracies, but there will always be one or two news that turns out to be true, but it is clear that Drogba is included in the real news.
"Did you really have some kind of tacit agreement with Inter Milan?" Drogba asked in a deep voice.
Sadie casually threw the newspaper on the table, not afraid to admit it: "Yes, Didier, Inter Milan approached me, expressed interest in you, and then asked me, do you have any ideas of switching to Inter Milan, I told them, you want to leave the Red Rebels!" ”
Casually, Sadie spread his hands, "It's that simple!" ”
"But you don't seem to have said it yet, the attitude of the Red Rebels!" Drogba reminded.
Sadie looked at Drogba deeply, and he realized that Drogba seemed to have figured out a lot of things, including the little things he was doing behind his back, perhaps, this big black man was not as honest and upright as he seemed on the outside.
"Yes, as early as when you were still training in Dubai, the Red Rebels Ministry of Commerce asked me to meet and asked for your opinion, at that time there were many teams in Europe that were interested in you, and I told the Red Rebels bluntly, either the absolute main force will increase the salary, or transfer away!"
Drogba suddenly slammed the table in front of him, "Bastard, I've never said that!" ”
Sadie was startled, but quickly calmed down, "Yes, Didier, you didn't say it, but you should understand that this is a negotiation tactic, and in the past, every time you negotiated a contract extension, you were always very generous and direct in terms of salary, originally with your status in the Red Rebels and world football, you should have received the top salary." ”
"Is 5.5 million euros a high salary? Essien takes so much, and after Aguero renews his contract, he gets even more than you! Sadie also sounded full of grievances.
"Michael's role in the team is well known to you and me, 5.5 million euros a year is not a lot now, but when he signed the contract in 2007, this annual salary is not low in the world, as for Sergio, now he really deserves a higher salary than me." Drogba is not afraid to admit it.
"But what about me?" Sadie asked again.
Drogba is silent, Sadie is only one player, and it can be said that he is doing things for him wholeheartedly, Drogba always readily reaches an agreement with the Red Rebels on contract renewals, so that Sadie has very little room to work on this, and there are naturally not many benefits that Sadie can get.
Originally, the agent could also operate the image of the player, but in this regard, Drogba entrusted all the Red Rebels to the Red Rebels, instead of establishing a joint stock company with the Red Rebels like Kaka, Beckham, Xiao Xiaoluo and others, which made Sadie get paid less.
Although he is also the agent of the world's top stars, Sadie is indeed far behind the agents of other players.
"So in order to profit from it, you want to design for me to transfer, if I'm not mistaken, you should have an agreement with Inter Milan to kick Real Madrid and other teams out of the tournament, and then force the Red Rebels to agree and do everything possible to lower the price, and on the other side, Inter Milan is to give me a higher salary, right?"
"That's right, Didier, I'm your agent, everything I do is to get the best interests for you, of course, I'm not afraid to honestly admit that if this transfer is successful, I can also get a payment of more than one million pounds, as well as a normal transfer share!" Sadie is frank and not afraid to admit it.
These tricks are often used in the transfer process, but others are players and agents working together, and Drogba is kept in the dark by Seid, all because Drogba trusts Sadie too much.
Drogba also has to admit that what Sadie said is true, putting aside his relationship with the Red Rebels, purely from a business point of view, Sadie did get the greatest benefit for Drogba, and his switch to Inter Milan can also be reused by Inter, the best of both worlds.
But now, Drogba has to revisit the transfer, he has to look at the transfer from the perspective of his family, from the perspective of the Red Rebels.
Originally, he thought that after a conversation with Sadie, he could clear the clouds and see the road ahead, but who knows, after talking, he was even more confused, what should he do?
Inter Milan is waiting for his reply, and the Red Rebels are waiting for his reply!
