"Okay, I know, boss." Then antonioni hung up.
"Let’s go, Karin" said Zhuang Ge, holding Karin’s hand to the car rental shop near the airport and renting an Opel car to the Ajax club headquarters.
Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands and the largest city, has a population of 70,000. Waterways of all sizes run through the city, and all areas of the city are connected by more than one bridge, which has the reputation of "Venice in the North".
The real Venice is eager for the birth of a Serie A team in the city, but Ajax, who is entrenched in this "northern Venice", has won five championship trophies (two Dutch leagues, one cup, one European Champions Cup and one UEFA Cup) in the last four years.
"President Corleone welcomes you!" An Ajax official at the entrance of Ajax club headquarters was sent out to welcome Zhuang Ge and others.
"My name is Michel Van Prager, and I am now the head of the public department of Ajax Club."
"Mr Van Prager is it? I’ve heard a lot about you … "
Van Prager didn’t know where the young Florence boss had heard his name, but Zhuang Ge was secretly calling for luck. The world is really small, and a public manager pops up at random, all at the chairman level.
Zhuang Ge vaguely remembers that this unremarkable public manager in front of him will become the president of Ajax Club in the near future and later the president of UEFA Competition Committee!
Therefore, it is necessary to make friends with such a person. In case Platini looks at Florence backstage and is not pleasing to the eye, a high-ranking person can speak for himself …
After becoming the chairman of Ajax Club, Van Prager expanded the scouting body of the club to the ball in addition to maintaining the original Ajax model. After several years of pain, he guided Ajax to realize the revival in the early 21st century, and van der Vaart’s first-class young talents and Ibrahimovic led foreign players to jointly create the last batch of Ajax youth troops.
After the arrival of the bosman era, it will test their wisdom even more for the principals of various football clubs.
For the giants, they need to consider, for example, poaching from other teams and maximizing their income, such as Real Madrid and Chelsea; For some teams, they have to choose the most suitable players from a huge group of players and buy the most cost-effective players with limited resources, such as Lazio and Naples now; There are also some teams that seek good seedlings from more remote areas for retraining, and make huge profits by reselling players to maintain the team’s operation, such as Houdusse; And those clubs that can’t adapt to this era will sink, such as Nottingham Forest …
This is an era of wisdom. People and clubs who can’t keep up with the changes of this era will be abandoned by love and drowned in the long river of time. Only when people turn over the historical album will they find their past glory in it.
What Zhuang Ge has to do is to make Florence adapt to this "big era" as soon as possible, conform to the tide of the times and make Florence a top European giant.
Chapter 161 This is a stupid age.
"President Corleone is very sorry. President Jacques is now in talks with Mr. Fan Jiaer, the head coach of the first team. Because we only received the news of your visit to our club earlier today, there were some conflicts … Why don’t I show some people around a club first?" Van Prager said carefully, of course, he knew that Bosman Act had an impact on Ajax now, so at this juncture, he didn’t dare to put up a fight with the other side. In case the other side was dissatisfied and stole several excellent players from the club at a low price, the stingy chairman Jacques had to eat himself alive.
Although Van Prager also knows that Ajax’s long-term racial discrimination and unfair treatment have made it impossible for these black players to choose to renew their contracts with the club after the appearance of the Bosman Act, even though President Jacques has generally made a salary increase and renewal.
Moreover, through a conversation just now, Van Prager found that the young Fiorentina president seemed to have a little kindness to himself and Ajax, so he could not choose to leave the Fiorentina president who showed kindness to himself here.
"No problem, Director Van Prager, then please take us to …" Just as Zhuang Ge was talking, he saw Ajax coach Fan Jiaer coming from the opposite side with a pale face.
"Hum!" See van Prager carefully with a man and a woman coming in this direction, Fan Jiaer guessed these people, of course, with a heavy hum a look at the sight of a few people going away.
"Well, I’m sorry, Chairman Corleone. I think maybe coach Fan Jiaer and Mr. Chairman just had some unpleasantness. I hope you don’t mind."
"Ha ha, I can understand that after all, an excellent coach like Mr. Fan Jiaer naturally doesn’t want his excellent players to be lost from his hands in vain."
"Thank you for understanding President Corleone." Van Prager thanked Zhuang Ge.
But it’s not clear what he thinks of Zhuang Ge. Maybe the Dutch are cursing in their hearts. If you rich guys don’t stare at us, Ajax players are always calm. How could Fan Jiaer behave so grumpy in front of outsiders? !
Now that Fan Jiaer has left the chairman’s office, Zhuang Ge and others don’t need to visit Ajax headquarters to pass the time. A group of people led by Van Prager walked into the office belonging to Ajax.
……
The atmosphere in the office is quite bad, and the two sides are so silent in the room. After all, Chairman Yake, who is famous for his meanness and greed, can’t have a good face for a guy like Zhuang Ge who specializes in taking advantage.
President Jacques then remained silent for more than ten minutes, and finally could not bear the depressing atmosphere in the room, and broke the deadlock first.
"Chairman Corleone, according to the latest transfer rules, if you want to sign a contract with Kluyvette, you don’t need to go through our club. After all, they are now … free agents." President Jacques seems to have made great efforts to say the word "free agent"
"Ha-ha, Chairman Yake, we naturally know this point. Maybe just as you and I are talking, another player who is still playing here this season has accepted the invitation of other teams." Zhuang Ge did not keep calm when he spoke to Chairman Yake, a racist, but said something that made the other side even more angry.
"Then you still come here …" The mood is very depressed. President Jacques just wanted to break out and has been sitting in on the sidelines. Van Prager quickly stopped the chairman of his own club and said to Zhuang Ge with a wry smile, "Chairman Corleone, please tell me what you have to do. If you go like this again, I’m afraid it will have some irreparable influence on our two clubs."
"Very good" Zhuang Ge raised his hand to show that he had understood Van Prager’s meaning, carefully considered his own words and said, "President Jacques may reach an agreement with the Ajax Club in Florence in some aspects."
"hmm? How do you say this? " Chairman Jacques heard Zhuang Ge’s words and suppressed his anger and asked
"President Jacques, do you think that if we sign a few players in Florence who are free to transfer to Ajax and then you send someone to say that they agree to continue to play in Ajax on loan, then your performance next season will be guaranteed?"
Zhuang Ge’s words made Yake feel overwhelmed.
Yes, if you leave a few main players on loan, although you still don’t get any benefits in the transfer, but with these players and head coach Fan Jiaer, Ajax may go further in the European Champions League next season and get more competition bonuses …
At the same time, these players’ rich experience in the game is given to young players who are still playing in Ajax. If there is a buffer for the next year, the losses suffered by Ajax in this bosman shock wave can be minimized
However, these assumptions must be based on the premise that Ajax can get Fiorentina players to agree to "stay" in Holland for one year.
"But Chairman Corleone, I think you should sign too many free agents, too?" At this time, Van Prager raised his own doubts and said, "As far as I know, your first team now has five strikers and three midfielders, and we have become free agents here, except reiziger, all of them are midfielders …"
"Mr. Van Prager, you are quite right, so I have another suggestion here, that is, lend some players from our team to you."
As soon as Van Prager heard the word "",he knew that the problem had been solved by the Fiorentina president. Who doesn’t know that Serie A is now the number one league in the world? Florence is the champion of Serie A in the season, even if the substitute players in their team are loaned to Ajax, it will be of great benefit to Ajax’s own combat strength, and Florence has also trained the players in its own team, which is a win-win solution.
After all, Ajax, unlike other giants, can wave checks to attract Dutch clubs. The economic situation and income determine that this phenomenon cannot occur here.
So now it seems that supporting Zhuang Ge’s suggestion is the best way to get Ajax out of trouble.
What a bunch of stupid people … If a club always puts its fate in the hands of other teams, then the fate of this team is doomed. This year, it will get rid of the predicament by leasing. Then Ajax will definitely seek to rent players from Florence in 2008, and the result will be that Ajax will gradually infiltrate into Florence and become a "satellite club". Is there any other way for it to choose?
Look at Siena! When Juve were strong, Siena always released players from the first team of Juventus to play here. Every season, the foundation was relegated and worried, and the days were quite moist. As a result, after Juve were relegated due to the scandal, they lost the support of the giants. Siena was immediately relegated from Serie A …
