Derby County won the Grand Slam in March, winning all the games including the FA Cup and the league, which seemed to be a kind of contrast to the critics of Wan Sheng, in such a situation, it is conceivable what the media can say, in fact, they can not say anything, even those media who have been 'assigned by the leader' to report on it, can only start with a few words from Wan Sheng's character, and can only praise his team performance.

Due to the previous trend, there are quite a lot of media covering Derbyshire, and there are very few English One teams that will be covered by these many media, even if they are the first in the league, even if they play well, but Derby County has achieved specialization, and they have been noticed by various media as English One teams.

But at the same time, there are troubles.

For example, many of Derby's players have been topped by various clubs, which shows that Derby's player list is excellent, but it is also enough to worry about Wansheng, because some of those clubs' bids on players have impressed general manager Wilcox and chairman Ji-Smith, who want to know Wansheng's plan for the team next season so that they can start running the transfer.

Wan Sheng only replied, "Anyway, I have to wait until the end of this season before I can start thinking about this." ”

In the face of such an answer, Ji-Smith and Wilcox can only put their plans on hold, because they both know that Wan Sheng is the most important person for the Derby County club at present, and if Wan Sheng sells the players that Wan Sheng is not ready to sell early, it will definitely make Wan Sheng very dissatisfied, and it will affect the team's results.

In terms of transfers, Wansheng, the head coach, still has a certain right to decide.

Wansheng doesn't want to sell the players he needs, of course, the premise is that the other party's bid cannot exceed the bottom line in his heart, after all, professional football is like this, if the other party's bid is higher than the bottom line in his heart, then selling can also be considered, after all, this money is enough to buy a better player. But at the moment he doesn't think there are any players in the team who need to be sold, as none of them have yet to show themselves at the tournament.

There are only a few high values in the team, such as Cahill and Ribery, they can also sell for millions of pounds, which is too far from the bottom line in Wansheng's heart, Cahill is better, Ribery must know that Ribery is the French Footballer of the Year in the future, one of the best players in France, such a player is worth no more than 10 million pounds, he will not consider it.

Other players like Morris, Layton Bynes and others. There are also people who ask about the price, but Wan Sheng doesn't even think about it, because the other party's offer is too low, and a player like Morris, who respects him for more than 100, even if it exceeds the low price in his heart, Wan Sheng has no intention of selling it at all, this kind of player is definitely in his hands.

But Wansheng's troubles don't stop there, the club's chairman Jie Smith and general manager Wilcox are still very good to deal with, Wansheng knows. As long as he doesn't agree, the two will not sell the players they want, after all, the relationship between the two sides is still very close, and he has brought such good results to the team. They will not contradict Wansheng because of a player worth millions, Wansheng is worried about the team itself.

Many media outlets have begun to break the news of Derby's transfer.

There are quite a few.

Most of the reports are well-founded, such as Everton's interest in Cahill and the prospect of bringing Osman back to Liverpool next season. Middlesbrough are looking to bring in midfielder Lee Morris, Aston Villa, Manchester City and even Arsenal are interested in Ribery, among other things, and the news is true. Because the opposing manager has said it in public, and the club has been starting to receive offers all the time.

Of course, there is no problem on the club side, but Wan Sheng is worried about the unstable people.

When invited by a big club, how many professional players are not impressed? Those mid-table teams in the Premier League are better, after all, Derby County will play in the Premier League next season, but a big team with a history like Arsenal is fatal to the players, and it is difficult for him to guarantee that the players do not have private ideas.

Wan Sheng felt that it was time to talk to the players one by one.

The first thing he found was Ribery, who is the core player of the team, and is now worth about five million pounds, which really does not meet Wansheng's expectations, and this money is not stupid to buy a Frank Ribery in the transfer market.

Ribery definitely can't be sold!

So Wan Sheng asked Ribery to talk to him alone in the office, Ribery was a little apprehensive about Wan Sheng, although Wan Sheng was actually not much older than him, but every time he faced Wan Sheng alone, he still felt pressure.

This time Wansheng came to him, and he could guess what it was, it must be a transfer.

The whole team is talking in private, he is the most talked-about player, but Ribery actually has no intention of leaving, he has been in the French lower league in the past few seasons, it was Wansheng who brought him to England, it was Wansheng who guided him on how to play, it was Wansheng who made a training plan for him, which made him improve a lot, if he left Derby County to go to other teams, he may not be treated as a core player in Derby.

The key is salary

In the team's table, it is natural to get a raise, and his previous contract salary was only 5,000 pounds a week, which is really a little less.

Ribery had already thought that he would not leave as long as the club gave him a raise.

As for Arsenal?

That's really attractive, but Ribery doesn't think he can get a main place there, he has to face the competition of famous stars such as Pire, Ljungberg, etc., he is not famous in comparison, the coach Wenger is said to be good at developing young players, but Ribery does not think he can do better than Wansheng, after all, in Derby, he can feel that he has improved significantly.

So whether it's from a future perspective or a personal relationship perspective, staying in Derby County is the best option.

Although he has figured it out, Ribery is still a little apprehensive, because he wants to ask for a salary increase, and this request is best negotiated by the agent, not himself, so if the coach asks about the transfer, what will he say?

He didn't know.

But what he didn't expect was that Wan Sheng spoke directly, and it was straight to the point.

'Franck, you know there are a lot of clubs interested in you at the moment, but you're a key player in the team, I'm not going to sell you, the club is going to re-sign you to a new contract. What do you think? ”

Wan Sheng looked at Ribery and said.

Ribery raised his head, he didn't expect Wan Sheng to say it so directly, so he hurriedly nodded, "Good boss!" ”

Wan Sheng nodded, "Okay, that's it, you let your agent do everything he can to negotiate a new contract with the club." ”

And just like that, it's over.

Ribery still felt incredible until he walked out of the room, the conversation between the two was so simple, and his future was finalized. But he is very happy, it is not bad to be able to get such a smooth salary increase, at least there are not too many cumbersome things.

After getting Ribery, Wan Sheng found Morris, Cahill and others one after another, such as Morris, Bolton-Reiter, and Alfred, the three of them were very smooth, their reverence for Wan Sheng was more than 100, and when Wan Sheng talked about letting them stay in the team, several people directly agreed, for them. There was no better option than to stay with the team and follow Wansheng, who had no intention of leaving, and even Bolton Reiter insisted that he would stay at Derby County for the rest of his life.

"I'm from Derbyshire, so naturally I'm going to play for Derbyshire!" These are the exact words of Bolton Reiter.

But Wan Sheng just smiled.

Many times professional players have no choice but to make a choice. It is possible for them to be loyal to a team, but it is not common for a good player to be loyal to a small team, and because they are so good, they need to be paid a high salary. They need all kinds of honors, which can't be given by a small team, and now they say that they are loyal to a team. It's just an impulse, and when the time comes, even if you don't want to leave, the club is likely to consider selling, because some offers are too high for smaller teams to refuse.

Professional football is like that, you can't sell without a player, the only problem is the price, the price is enough to sell any player.

The conversation with Cahill didn't go well enough.

Cahill is almost 25 years old, he came to England at a young age, and after so many years in the second division, his experience alone has made him very mature. 25 is the best age for a professional footballer, and it is only natural that he wants to play for those big teams.

There is an opportunity in front of him, Everton are very optimistic about him, compared to Derby, Everton are obviously more attractive than Derby, and at the same time, there are a number of teams who have been approached privately, and he has really scored a lot of goals this season, which has attracted the attention of many teams.

Cahill had been thinking about whether he was leaving, and Wan Sheng approached him to talk about the transfer, and Cahill just said, "I'm sorry, boss, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Wan Sheng nodded understandingly.

He can understand that Cahill is not sure whether to transfer, after all, Derby County is really unattractive, especially a player like Cahill, who wants to join a big team, but Wan Sheng doesn't care.

In fact, for the construction of the team, Cahill is not necessary, Cahill is very good, but there are many strikers in the world who are very good, Cahill is not a very special one, he scores a lot of goals, maybe it is a matter of personal ability, but it is inseparable from the team's cooperation, tactics, and the addition of his coaching skills to the game, such as shooting alone, his skills can provide Cahill with a lot of 'shooting' attributes, and his shooting will naturally become accurate.

But the most important thing is that it depends on Cahill's choice.

Wan Sheng wants Cahill to stay, so that he doesn't have to think about the front line in the summer, but if Cahill asks to leave, he will not keep him, which can also give him a large transfer fee - Cahill is definitely one of the most valuable players in the team at the moment.

After talking to Cahill, Wan Sheng talked to other players, those core players, it is naturally best to want to stay, Wan Sheng promised to ask for a salary increase, of course, those players who are average, whether to raise their salary or not, will have to be considered extra.

After that, Wansheng approached the club's general manager, Wilcox, to talk about the problem.

"What? Are these players going to get a raise? Wilcox frowned.

Wan Sheng spread his hands, "Do you think we can keep them without a salary increase?" They are all of interest from a lot of clubs. ”

Wilcox nodded, "You're right, but we're going to set aside a portion of the transfer fee in the summer, and if we give them all a raise, I think in terms of the transfer budget."

Wilcox didn't continue, but Wan Sheng knew what it meant.

The team's promotion to the Premier League will definitely bring more income to the club, but that is the future, for now, it would be good for the team to reserve a part of the transfer fee, which is to add more players to the Premier League next year, after all, some players in the team have limited strength, it is difficult to have a good table in the Premier League, they must be eliminated, and at the same time they can't get much transfer fee, so if you want to supplement the strength of the team, you must make some investment.

But Wan Sheng has long had an idea in this regard, a salary increase must be necessary, otherwise the team will be fluctuating, and the core players cannot be sold, he would rather have no transfer fee, and sign some new stars or free players in the summer, rather than sell outstanding core players.

So this issue does not need to be discussed.

In the end, Wilcox still agreed to Wansheng's decision, after all, several players listed by Wansheng are indeed very good, and the club must have a salary increase if they want to keep them, and there is nothing they can do in this regard.

But when he thinks about the next job, he still has a lot of headaches.

He's going to start dealing with vampire-like agents. (To be continued......)
