There are many kinds of negotiation techniques, but the most basic is knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and although it is not always possible to survive a hundred battles, it is a preparation. So, as with Sanchez's agent Ferichevic before the meeting, Linson also did some research on Darren Dunn, which was not too detailed, but basically enough to understand what kind of agent he is.

One kind of rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and one kind of profession also has a hundred kinds of people.

Darren Dunn, speaking of this, I'm afraid there is one team that fans will grit their teeth with hatred, and this is Arsenal. Of course, this is not because Darren Dunn's father is the former Arsenal chairman David Dunn, who in '07 chose to resign because of irreconcilable conflicts with other members of the board of directors over the introduction of foreign capital. In fact, for Arsenal, David Dunn can actually be regarded as a meritorious figure, because Arsene Wenger, who has become the greatest manager in Arsenal's history, was dug from the Nagoya Whales in Tokyo.

The hatred that Arsenal fans have for Darren Dunn comes from another thing, one thing that they have to swallow when they face the ridicule of fans of other teams, and that is the death of Arsenal's captain. In the nine years since '05, Arsenal have sold six captains, and this summer they could even lose their seventh captain, Belgian defender Vermaelen. In this regard, many domestic fans have begun to come up with a new way to ridicule: collect seven, and you can summon the dragon. Because if they lose Vermaelen again, it will be their seventh captain in recent years.

It's normal to lose a captain, and it's not surprising to lose a second, but with such a high frequency, it's obviously not normal. A lot of people blame manager Arsene Wenger for the blame, but when you think about it, you know that it doesn't make sense. When a manager appoints a captain, in addition to ability and appearance, stability is also one of the factors considered, and no manager wants to see his captain change every year. Well, naturally, the reason can only be something else.

That's Darren Dunn.

Thierry Henry, Klich, Bam Adebayor, Robin van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, Song ...... These stars, they all have a common agent, Darren Dunn, and then, they have one thing in common, which is that they are all former Arsenal stars.

For such a broker. Whether from a personal point of view or from a work point of view, Lin Sen really doesn't like it, it's not that he wants to fight for Arsenal, but I believe that not many football managers will be willing to face such an agent, of course, this is the job of a football manager.

The meeting place with Dunn Jr., as was arranged in a familiar location, that is, the café in City Square, this summer. It's almost Linsen's second workplace.

Given what he knew about Dunn Jr., in fact, Lin Sen had already envisioned that his meeting with Dunn Jr. would likely take a long time, but what he didn't expect was. This meeting, from beginning to end, lasted less than fifteen minutes, not even the time for a cup of coffee.

And the reason. It's not that little Dunn is difficult, in fact, after meeting Lin Sen. Little Dunn looked particularly enthusiastic, and even had some anti-guest meaning, and a few unobtrusive sycophants had to admit that Lin Sen, who knew that the other party was complimenting him, was just right. But, in response to that sentence, when a person talks about him left and right, he is mostly hiding from something.

This meeting, in fact, was not decided by Dunn Jr. The reason for saying this is because just before the two sides were ready to get into the topic, Dunn Jr. suddenly asked a question.

The question is to ask Linson if it is possible to take over Manchester City.

For Lin Sen, this is just a question repeated in the same old tune, since he announced his return to Manchester City, he doesn't know how many times he has answered, but now the other party still has to ask again, Lin Sen doesn't know the other party's intention to ask this, but obviously the other party does not believe the answer he announced to the outside world, but believe it or not, Lin Sen's answer is still the same.

After hearing Lin Sen's answer, little Dunn's face obviously showed a trace of disappointment, and then he shook his head and said regretfully, "Then, I'm sorry, I'm afraid we don't have anything to talk about today." ”

There are not many people in this world who can hide their feelings in front of Lin Sen, although Lin Sen doesn't know if Xiao Dunn's words come from his heart, but he knows that at least the other party's feelings are true, and this also makes Lin Sen feel a little surprised by his words.

Why?

Lin Sen didn't think his answer had anything to do with the content of today's meeting.

"Before coming here, Sesk told me that there is only one premise that today's meeting is likely to take place, and that is that the answer to the question I just asked is yes." Dunn Jr. said, then spread his hands, "So ......"

Lin Sen was stunned.

The answer to the question is yes? Back in charge of Manchester City?

'To put it simply, the only prerequisite for Seske to come to Manchester City is that you are the manager. It seemed that Lin Sen's expression made little Dunn think that he didn't understand enough, and he directly picked out the words, "Even if it's just possible." ”

Lin Sen shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Possible? But it can't be.

It seems that he should be happy about Dunn Jr., because it means that he already has the charm to attract a player of Cesc Fabregas's level, which is undoubtedly something to be proud of, however, now Linsen is not happy, because now he is impossible to coach Manchester City at all, even if Pellegrini leaves, he will not be able to coach Manchester City again, the return of the king seems exciting, but Linsen no longer has that motivation, and it is absolutely impossible to do a good job without motivation.

But is that really the end of it?

"I should be grateful to Seske for his trust, but Manuel Pellegrini is also a great coach...... "Linson is not willing to give up.

"Nope." Dunn Jr. interrupted Linson's words, he shook his head affirmatively, "Pellegrini is indeed a good coach, but he can't impress Sesque, frankly, there are not many coaches in this world who can attract Sesc to play, unfortunately, Pellegrini is not one of them." If you can't manage Manchester City, then Sesk can only go to one place because the manager there, the same coach Sesk admires, and he has already spoken to Seske on the phone. ”

Dunn Jr. didn't say who the head coach was, but the answer was already on the horizon.

Who else could it be but Mourinho? ――

Lin Sen watched little Dunn leave, his face gloomy.

Cesc Fabregas seems to be about to fly, and his wishful thinking is crackling, but people are not as good as heaven, Lin Sen has calculated everything, and after all, he still missed one thing, that is, the attraction of the head coach.

For most players, the transfer is often "involuntarily in the rivers and lakes", because you don't have too many qualifications to choose, but for big-name stars, the transfer has become a two-way choice, similar to a blind date, not the other party is satisfied, but also you must be satisfied. And the bigger the star, the more stringent the "blind date" conditions.

The prestige of the club, the qualification for Europe, the future plans, their status and ...... Coach.

After Lin Sen led Manchester City to win the Champions League twice in three years, he undoubtedly became the fifth diamond king, and he has always been the one he picks, and he rarely is picked by others, but now, he is already a "married person", although he is still rich and handsome, but not everyone is willing to be a junior, not to mention, now he also clearly refuses to "cheat", in this case, when there is another rich and handsome beckoning, the outcome is not difficult to predict.

In this regard, Lin Sen can't do anything, he can't let him eat back what he said, right?

It's just that in this way, is Suarez's transfer going to fail?

Lin Sen, who returned to the car, did not start the car immediately, but tapped the steering wheel with his hand while thinking about where this transfer would go.

The transfer fails, this is possible, and this is also something Pellegrini is happy to see, although it is good to get Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas, but no one knows what kind of performance the two will have after they come, leaving Suarez, at least there are no concerns about this, which is not bad news for Pellegrini, who must show results in the second season.

Again, the problem lies with Suarez. The player's mind is obviously no longer Manchester City, of course it is possible to force it to stay, but does it really make sense?

So, the transfer continues? It's not impossible. Fabregas does not come, it does not mean that there can be no substitution, or as in the case of Subisareta's previous mention of yì, Sanchez plus money, is also a possibility. In this case, who else is it possible for Barcelona to put in the substitution? Add money, and how much money should be added, these are all problems.

After thinking about it for more than ten minutes, Lin Sen seemed to have made a decision, then took out his mobile phone, took the lead in dialing Pellegrini's phone, and then briefly talked about the transfer, of course, during which Lin Sen ignored the question raised by Dunn Jr., and then put forward his own opinion.

Pellegrini, who has already begun to resume pre-season training and will lead the team to North America for warm-up training in two days, did not surprise Lin Sen when he said to Lin Sen, he was silent for a long time, during which Lin Sen always waited patiently, and then, he only improved to Pellegrini finally smiled bitterly and only said one sentence, "I'll leave it to you." ”

Pellegrini's words may sound like Linsen's trust, but in fact, it's more just helplessness. It's not that Fabregas doesn't come, but Suarez still has to leave after all.

After a brief call with Pellegrini, Linson immediately dialed another call.

"Anthony? Sorry, the negotiations on Cesc Fabregas seem to have broken down. (To be continued......)
