Chapter 39: It's probably Mendes
Lin Yun did not rush back to London, and received two waves of guests at home the next morning.
Raiola and Mendes.
Arsenal are already urging him to change his contract, and the agent's business needs to be resolved quickly.
As the name suggests, the fat man is an inflexible dead fat man, and he is not good at stubble at first glance, and he doesn't need makeup to play the black and astringent boss.
"Lin? Or Claude? Which title do you prefer? ”
"It's called Lin, I'm used to hearing it," Lin Yun said, "Let's start directly?" ”
"Of course."
Raiola looked at the family of three sitting opposite him seriously, and for a moment he couldn't figure out who among them had the final say, so he could only persuade Lin Yun first, "You know me, I also know you, let's just talk about what I can bring you." ”
Lin Ming and Isabella remained silent, leaving Lin Yun to deal with it on his own.
Lin Yun just made a gesture of please speak.
"First of all, of course it's a big contract, the contract that Arsenal gives you now is a joke, of course I don't recommend you to transfer now, so the new contract will be with Arsenal, and I will get you a weekly salary in the first echelon of the Premier League, at the level of Van Persie and Suarez."
"Sounds good......"
"Of course," Raiola took a pretentious sip of tea, "and secondly, in terms of awards, let's warm up with a Golden Boy Award first?" ”
"Is this too early?" Lin Yun smiled, "And as far as I know, Pogba is also your player." ”
The Golden Boy Award is usually not selected until around October, and before Lin Yun emerged, Pogba was one of the biggest favorites.
"Then I can only say sorry to him," Raiola said decisively, "Paul is very good, but there is no comparison with you, unless he can help Juventus get rid of Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but I think it's difficult. ”
"Oh? I thought Juventus had a better chance of winning. ”
Compared with Arsenal's narrow victory over Bayern to advance, Juventus' path to promotion is undoubtedly more convincing, with a score of 5-0 over two legs that not only proves their attacking power, but also fully demonstrates their defensive intensity, so the outside world is generally more optimistic about Juventus in this round of matchups.
Boba joined Juventus on a free transfer from Manchester United in the summer of 2012 and quickly became a regular in Antonio Conte's side, captaining France to the Under-20 title at the World Youth Championships this summer, and he himself won the Player of the Tournament award.
In the case of Marchisio's injury this season, Pogba has become the main force, even if the Italian midfielder returns from injury, the Frenchman is still a key link under Conte, so the focus of many media hype in this round of quarterfinals is the golden boy battle between Lin Yun and Pogba.
If Raiola can successfully win Lin Yun, then he will have two hot candidates for the Golden Boy at the same time, and the help for him will be incomparable.
'I don't need to do any match analysis because I'm an agent, I only study players and in my opinion you're going to be a key figure for Arsenal to beat Juventus, that's enough.'
"Then I'll take it as your compliment and blessing."
Seeing Lin Yun's unmoved appearance, the fat man suddenly felt that this kid was very difficult.
You must know that it was more than 100,000 or 200,000 pounds a week, and there was also the Golden Boy Award, which symbolized the first person of the young generation.
Although Lin Yun's family is well-off, it is not a rich family, and he can't figure out how this kid can be so calm.
"It doesn't seem like I'm convincing you, so I'm going to say what I'm best at, and I know a lot of clubs hate me because I'm always on the side of my players, and I'm trying to get the best out of them, and I'm going to solve all the problems for them, I mean, whatever you want to do, I'm just a phone call away."
Lin Yun nodded, "I never doubt this. ”
Raiola tried a little harder, and it was basically the same as the outside world's evaluation of him.
Everything looks at money, but it can make the players not disgusted, and they are very good at looking at things from the other party's point of view, but there is a gold medal agent waiting for him to "interview" in the back, so Lin Yun did not immediately relax, and only said that he would consider it.
After sending off the fat, the three began to exchange opinions.
Lin Yundao: "How do you feel?" ”
Isabella said first: "It's not bad, it seems to be quite sincere, but it looks a little casual." ”
"......," Lin Ming said, "If you say that, I'll vote for Raiola first." ”
"Then let's see what Mendes says," Lin Yun thought for a while, "He's not bad-looking, but I don't know if his professional level is as good as the outside world rumores." ”
Relying on Mourinho and Ronaldo, Mendes is already one of the most famous sports agents in the world, not to mention that he also has superstars such as De Gea, Falcao, Di Maria, Nani, Pepe, Marcelo, etc., and his influence is all over Europe.
Mendes doesn't play false, and goes straight to the point.
"So...... What kind of broker do you prefer? A nanny like Raiola, or a professional like Barnett? ”
"Is that what you say about your two peers?"
"Of course," Mendes said, "they're all very good agents, with very distinct characteristics, and as far as I'm concerned...... I also have my own characteristics, that is, I can make myself the kind of person you want to see the most, if you don't want me to interfere too much in your life, then OK, I can completely disappear from your world except for work things, and if you need my full range of services, then I am also happy to help. ”
Lin Ming himself is actually more inclined to Mendes, and the communication is quite detailed, "Before that, I think we need to accept a cognition first, that is, about Lin Yun's positioning, you know, he is a mixed-race, this identity is actually very sensitive, I have heard a lot of bad voices, that is, traitors, banana people or something, I don't like it, this is what I care about the most, I don't want my son to be such an image in the eyes of outsiders, maybe you don't know, I actually want him to join another nationality, But he chose football, and that was no way around. ”
"I'm sorry, to tell you the truth, I don't have any influence in the East, and I don't have the ability to guide public opinion over there, but in my opinion, sincerity is the biggest nirvana, Lin only needs to show his true self, he doesn't need to deliberately please anyone, if he really recognizes that identity, he will defend him in words and deeds, it's as simple as that.
And it's a dead knot, you can't expect the whole world to like you, the moment you make your choice, you're already doomed to this situation, we can only try our best to make up for it, Yun can do more charity over there, you can also be an ambassador for football exchanges between the two countries, you have to believe that the fans are not blind, they won't listen to what you say, they will only look at what you do. ”
Lin Ming nodded, looked at Lin Yun for a while, and understood the meaning in the other party's eyes.
Probably him.
