Chapter 182: A Great Harvest
Van der Vaart was moved by Wan Sheng's words, but he did not reply immediately, but said that he would have to think more before giving an answer.
Wan Sheng did not rush either.
He knows very well that the transfer is very important to a professional player, and it is easy to make a choice, but it is very important to choose whether it can be successful in the future, so he must be very cautious, but Wan Sheng feels that Van der Vaart has no reason to refuse, because he has already been moved.
Wan Sheng quickly waited for the news, and the next day Robert Jones called back and said, "Rafael has agreed, and the Derby County club has officially negotiated with Ajax." ”
Wansheng was satisfied.
As long as Van der Vaart agrees, then Ajax will not be able to retain players, this is a law known to the whole world, which is also the reason why the Dutch team has fallen rapidly after the 'Boseman Act', even Ajax cannot escape this cycle.
They want to keep good players, but they can't come up with the corresponding salary, and they can't wait until the player's contract expires to leave automatically, so if the player is ready to leave, Ajax has no choice but to sell the player, just like Van Persie now, Feyenoord Club also knows that Van Persie is a genius, but Van Persie and the club fell out, he wants to leave the team, Feyenoord can only sell him at a low price, after all, it is better to earn a transfer fee than nothing at the end of the contract.
……
When the media broke the news that Derby County FC hoped to bring in Ajax captain Van der Vaart, almost no one was optimistic that Derby County would succeed, in everyone's opinion, Derby County was not as attractive as Ajax, let alone buying the captain of Ajax.
But the surprising thing is that soon the news always put Van der Vaart and Derby County together.
The Ajax club was also helpless, when they heard that the Derby County club asked to buy their captain Van der Vaart, they were definitely unwilling to sell, so they directly refused, but they didn't expect Van der Vaart's agent Robert Jones to intervene and directly proposed that Van der Vaart wanted to leave.
Where to leave?
Naturally, there was a request to buy Van der Vaart's Derby County club.
Ajax was surprised, but also knew that the Derby County club must have been in contact with Van der Vaart privately, which is a violation in European football, and if the defendant goes to UEFA, they will definitely receive a fine, but they have no evidence, and more importantly, even if the other party is fined, the transfer has become like this - Derby County want to buy, Van der Vaart wants to leave, and they have almost no choice.
As a result, Ajax FC can only open Van der Vaart transfer negotiations.
Derby County FC has been well funded recently, and the team is in urgent need of additional strikers, so they are quite generous and did not fight with Ajax FC for hundreds of thousands of euros, and soon Van der Vaart's transfer was finalized, and finally the two teams agreed on the transfer fee - Van der Vaart will join Derby County for 7 million euros.
This value is not low, but compared to the status of Ajax's young captain, it is still a little low.
But with the current general trend of 'strikers with fewer goals are not worth much', it is already very good for Derby County Club to pay 7 million euros, after all, Van der Vaart only has the title of 'captain of Ajax', his table does not have any special highlights, and the number of goals is pitiful, compared to those players who continue to score in the front line, the current Van der Vaart can only be said to be mediocre.
This is how the English media see it, although they think that the Derby County deal is not bad, but they do not think that Van der Vaart can replace Cahill's position, because Cahill's goal efficiency is guaranteed, and Van der Vaart has the name of 'captain of Ajax', but the specific goal efficiency is uncertain.
This is also an important reason for the difference in the value of the two.
Wan Sheng doesn't care what the media thinks, after Van der Vaart officially joined the team, he can already check Van der Vaart's specific ability count, which is what really reflects Van der Vaart's ability, and it doesn't matter what speculation or doubts the outside world has.
After reading Van der Vaart's counts, Wan Sheng was even more dismissive of the media's so-called "captain Ajax is just a midfielder" and "goal efficiency is not guaranteed".
Van der Vaart is worthy of being a star whose overall strength has reached purple, his 'overall strength assessment' has reached 91, and in the shooting, passing and dribbling three counts, he has exceeded 94, reaching the top level in the world, his weakness lies in the header and speed, the header is not very good, and Van der Vaart's height has something to do with it, he is only 1.75 meters, this height is still not dominant in the penalty area, of course, this 'not very good' is compared to his other abilities, his heading ability has also reached' 79', and in terms of speed, Van der Vaart is also only '82', which is a bit slow compared to the world superstar, but Wan Sheng quickly knew why.
Van der Vaart's speed attribute has a red logo that reads 'Can pass guò mission recovery fù', followed by a value of '(90)', which indicates that Van der Vaart's original speed was 90, but because of his previous injury, his speed was affected.
Since it is 'recoverable', Wansheng has nothing to worry about.
He looked at the specific training recovery method, the specific training content needs a bit much, at least need to train for an hour a day, and persist for more than three months, this kind of task requirements are a little too difficult compared to ordinary training, but if you can heal the hidden dangers left by the original injury, restore the original speed, and directly increase the speed from the original 82 to 90, this is definitely worth it.
Wansheng is already looking forward to it.
Van der Vaart, as the second striker, dribbles, shoots, passes, and speed are all over 90 points, and a player with such ability is simply a nightmare for the opponent's defense, because it is difficult for any team to really limit such a well-rounded player.
After finalizing Van der Vaart's transfer, the main squad of the team has been stabilized, Van der Vaart has replaced Cahill, and Karachi has replaced Oakes, so adding players will need to add defensive personnel and increase bench depth.
In both aspects, there are no 'necessary' players, so the transfer work is also much easier, and if there are players who can't be bought, they can't buy them, and they can also buy other players, so Wansheng is not too worried.
The rest of the work belongs to the club's transfer department, so there is no need for him to do it himself.
Now the club's transfer funds are about 7 million pounds, of which 2 million pounds will be used to supplement the club's finances, after all, the salary level of the team has increased a lot in the new season, and the pressure on the club is still very great, that is to say, Wansheng can use the transfer fee of about 5 million pounds.
So Wansheng asked the club to start operating the transfers of Nemanja Vidic and Lichtsteiner, and if they could buy these two defensive players for £5 million, then the team's squad would be completely stable.
……
While Wan Sheng was concentrating on the team's transfer work, the European Championship was still going on, and finally the final between the host Portugal team and the dark horse Greece officially began.
Before the game, many people were optimistic about Portugal, as the host, they were stronger and had an advantage, and Greece was just a dark horse, the reason why the dark horse was a dark horse was because of the outstanding results, but it was difficult for the dark horse to really go to the end, to paraphrase a sentence from the "News of the World", "The miracle of winning the Champions League Porto is difficult to stage in Portugal!" ”
The season that has just ended, manager Jose Mourinho led Porto to a strong Champions League title, which was already a miracle in the eyes of many, and the general public did not believe that there could be two miracles in one summer.
But in the end, Greece won the championship!
At the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Greece won the title 1-0 against Portugal, and they also became the blackest dark horse in the history of the European Championship, and the only goal was still from striker Charlistias's header, who used three headers to help Greece win three opponents, and Greece also became the only team to not concede a goal in the knockout stage, and also became the first country to win major glory under the leadership of a foreign coach, which has not been seen in the previous 11 European Championships and 17 World Cups.
The Portuguese fans were devastated after the game, having missed out on the European Championship on their home turf, while the Greek fans cheered wildly as Greek captain Zagorakis lifted the Delaunay Cup in full anticipation.
Greece has won!
Dubbed the 'Greek myth', Greece became the only team to stand out at the tournament, and they became the world's scramble, the shining stars – even though none of their players could be called stars, even Charles Yates, who scored three headers and helped his team to three victories, was unknown until then.
Greece created a miracle, which became a myth that shocked the world.
All the Greek fans were happy, this day was their greatest holiday, and at the same time, the two biggest bookmakers in Europe were also happy, because Greece won the championship and made them a lot of money in the European Championship.
Greece is a dark horse in the dark, such a team wins the championship, even those crazy gamblers would not have thought that they may put their gambling money on the Czech Republic, or they may put it on Sweden, but Greece? That's the worst of the sixteen teams.
Who would have thought that Greece would win the championship?
As a result, the two big bookmakers have made a big harvest, and although they have adjusted the odds for Greece very high, they have really little to hold on to the Greek team.
But two days later, the two bookmakers were surprised to find that the earnings statistics did not meet expectations, and their expected earnings were at least more than 20 million pounds, but when the specific figures were submitted, they found that they were more than 25% less.
That's not normal.
It didn't take long for them to find out why, four accounts had made the biggest bets on the Greek team to win the championship, taking away £3 million and €4 million respectively from the two betting jobs, two of which also had a lot of bets, and on other wins, losses and scores, they also swept away £800,000 and €1.5 million respectively.
This came as a surprise to both bookmakers.
Because their numbers show that the correct rate of betting and guessing on these two accounts is more than 80, and they are all big bets, if they don't know, they will even suspect that someone has manipulated the game, otherwise how can the suppression be so accurate? But the millions of earnings do not go to the process of manipulating the game, which is obviously a personal act.
In Europe, a lot of jù is public, and it is not difficult to find out who these accounts belong to, especially the two accounts with the highest revenue, which belong to public figures, and they immediately found out.
These two men are Derby County FC's young boss Wan Sheng and his agent Kevin Tagore. R1152
