Chapter 140 Renewal Storm
Derby County achieved the Grand Slam in March and they won everything including the FA Cup and the league. It seemed like a kind of contrast to the rhetoric against Wansheng. Under such circumstances, the media could You can imagine what they say. In fact, they can't say anything. Even the media who report on the "task assigned by the leader" can only say a few words from Wan Sheng's character. The team's performance can only be commended.
Due to the trend of the past period, there are quite a lot of media reporting on Derby County. Few English League teams will be reported by these many media, even if they are the first in the league, even if they play well, but Derby County has achieved a special As a League One team, they have attracted the attention of various media.
But there are also worries.
For example, many players from Derby County have been topped by various clubs, which shows that Derby County players have performed well, but it is enough to worry about Wansheng, because some of those clubs made bids for players that moved general manager Wilco. Cox and chairman Gee Smith, they want to know what Wansheng has planned for the team next season so that they can start operating the transfer.
Wan Sheng only replied, "In any case, I have to wait for the end of this season to start thinking about this issue."
Faced with such an answer, Gee Smith and Wilcox could only put their plans on hold, because they all knew that Wan Sheng was the most important person for Derby County at the moment. If they sold it early Wansheng is not ready to sell players, which will definitely make Wansheng very dissatisfied, and it will not affect the team's performance.
In terms of transfers, Wansheng, the head coach, still has a certain decision-making power.
Wansheng doesn't want to sell the players it needs. Of course, the premise is that the opponent's bid cannot exceed the bottom line in his heart. After all, professional football is like this. If the opponent's bid is higher than the bottom line in his heart, then selling can also be considered. After all, the money is enough to buy a better player, but at the moment he doesn't think there is any player in the team that needs to be sold, because they have not performed in the competition.
There are only a few high-value players in the team, such as Cahill and Ribery, and they can also sell for millions of pounds. This is too far from the bottom line in Wansheng's heart. Cahill is better, Ribery... You must know that Ribery is the future French footballer, one of the best players in France. Such a player is worth no more than 10 million pounds. Will not consider.
Other players, such as Morris, Leighton Baines, etc., also asked about the price, but Wansheng did not consider it. Because the other party's offer is too low. In addition, a player like Morris who has more than 100 respect for him, even if it exceeds the low price in his heart, Wansheng has no plans to sell it at all. This kind of player must be caught in his hands.
However, Wansheng's troubles don't stop there. Club chairman Jimmy Smith and general manager Wilcox are still very easy to deal with. Wansheng knows that as long as he does not 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 won't have a conflict with Wansheng because of a player worth millions. What Wansheng is worried about is the team itself.
Many outside media have begun to break the news of Derby County's transfer.
There are quite a few.
Most reports are based on facts, such as Everton are interested in Cahill and will bring Ousman back to Liverpool next season, Middlesbrough intend to bring in midfielder Lee Morris, Aston Villa , Manchester City and even Arsenal are interested in Ribery, etc. These news are true, because the coach of the other side has said it in public, and the club has started to receive offers.
Of course, there is no problem with the club, but Wansheng is worried about the instability of the heart.
When invited by a big club, how many professional players will not be moved? Those teams in the middle of the Premier League are better. After all, Derby County will also play the Premier League next season, but a giant team with a history like Arsenal is fatally attractive to players, and it is difficult for him to guarantee players. They have no private thoughts.
Wan Sheng felt that it was time to talk to the players one by one.
The first thing he found was Ribery. Ribery is the core player of the team, and his current worth of around five million pounds is really not in line with Wansheng's expectations. This money wants to buy a Frank- Ribery...don't be silly.
Ribery is definitely not for sale!
So Wansheng asked Ribéry to talk alone in the office. Ribéry was a little nervous about Wansheng. Although Wansheng was actually not much older than him, every time he faced Wansheng alone, he still felt pressured.
This time Wansheng came to him, and he could guess why, it must be a transfer thing.
The whole team is talking about it in private. He is the most talked about player, but Ribery actually has no plans to leave. He spent the previous seasons in the lower leagues in France. How does he play? Wansheng has made a training plan for him, which has greatly improved him. If he leaves Derby County to go to other teams, he may not necessarily have the treatment of core players in Derby County.
The key is salary...
When the team performs well, it is natural to have a salary increase. His previous contract salary was only 5,000 pounds per week, which is a bit low.
Ribery has long thought that as long as the club gives him a raise, he will not leave.
As for Arsenal?
That's really attractive, but Ribery doesn't think he can have a main position there. He has to face the competition of famous stars such as Pires and Ljungberg. In comparison, he is not famous. It is said that the Coach Wenger is good at developing young players, but Ribery doesn't think he can do better than Wansheng. After all, in Derby County, he can feel that he has improved significantly.
So whether it is from a future perspective or a personal relationship perspective, staying in Derby County is the best choice.
Although he has already figured it out, Ribery is still a little uneasy, 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, how will he go? Say?
he does not know.
But what he didn't expect was that Wan Sheng spoke directly, and it went straight to the subject.
"Frank, you know that many clubs are interested in you now, but you are the core player of the team, and I have no plans to sell you. The club plans to sign a new contract with you, what do you think?"
Wan Sheng looked at Ribery and said.
Ribery raised his head, he didn't expect Wan Sheng to say so directly, so he nodded hurriedly, "Okay...Okay...Boss!"
Wan Sheng nodded. "Okay. That's it. You ask your agent to come and negotiate a new contract with the club as soon as possible."
This is the end.
Ribery still felt incredible until he walked out of the room. The conversation between the two was so simple, and his future was almost finalized, but he was very happy, and it was not bad to have such a smooth salary increase. At least not too much fuss.
After getting Ribery. Wansheng found Maurice, Cahill and others one after another. Maurice, Bolton-Leiter, and Alfred went very well. Their reverence for Wansheng exceeded 100. After Wansheng talked about letting them stay in the team, several people agreed directly. For them, there is no better choice than staying in the team and following Wansheng. They had no intention of leaving. Even Bolton Reiter made a big promise to stay at Derby County for the rest of his life.
"I'm from Derby, and of course I want to play for Derby!" These are the words of Bolton Wright.
But Wansheng just smiled.
Professional players are often helpless to make choices. It is possible for them to be loyal to one team, but it is not common for players who perform well to be loyal to a small team, and because they perform well, they need high salaries, they need all kinds of honors, and these are not given by small teams. Yes, it’s just an impulse to say that you are loyal to a team now. When that time comes, even if you don’t want to leave, the club is likely to consider selling it, because some offers are too high for small teams to refuse.
Professional football is like this, no player is unsellable, the only problem is the price, the price is enough to sell any player.
The conversation with Cahill was less successful.
Cahill is almost 25 years old. He came to England at a young age and has been in the second league for so many years. The experience alone has made him very mature. The 25-year-old is the most brilliant age for professional players, and he naturally wants to play for those big teams.
There is an opportunity in front of us now. Everton is very optimistic about him. Compared with Derby County, Everton is obviously more attractive. At the same time, many teams have contacted him privately. There are a lot of goals this season, which has attracted the attention of many teams.
Cahill has been thinking about whether he wants to leave. Wansheng approached him to talk about the transfer, and Cahill just said, "Sorry, boss, I haven't thought about it yet."
Wan Sheng nodded in understanding.
He can understand that Cahill is not sure whether to transfer or not. After all, Derby County is really unattractive, especially for players like Cahill who want to join a big team, but Wansheng I don'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 very special. He scores a lot, 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. For example, shooting alone, his skills can provide Cahill with a lot of 'shooting' Attributes, his shot will naturally become accurate.
But most importantly, it depends on Cahill's choice.
Wansheng hopes that Cahill will stay, so that he does not have to think about the striker in the summer, but if Cahill asks to leave, he will not keep it, which can also give him a large transfer fee--Current card Hill is definitely one of the most valuable players on the team.
After talking with Cahill, Wansheng asked other players to talk. Those core players, hoping to stay the best, Wansheng promised a salary increase. Of course, those players with average performance will not get a salary increase. Additional consideration is required.
Wansheng then 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 interested in many clubs."
Wilcox nodded, "You're right, but we have to reserve a part of the transfer fee in the summer. If we give them a full salary increase, I think the transfer budget..."
Wilcox did not continue, but Wansheng knew what it meant.
The promotion of the team to the Premier League will definitely bring more income to the club, but that is the future. For now, it is good for the team to reserve a part of the transfer fee. This is to add more players to the Premier League next year. , after all, some players in the team have limited strength, and it is difficult to perform well in the Premier League. They must be eliminated, and at the same time, they cannot exchange much transfer fees, so if you want to supplement the strength of the team, you must do some put in.
However, Wansheng has already had an idea in this regard. A salary increase is definitely necessary, otherwise the team will fluctuate. In addition, the core players cannot be sold. He would rather not have a transfer fee and sign some new stars or free players in the summer. Also reluctant to sell outstanding core players.
So this issue does not need to be discussed.
In the end, Wilcox agreed with Wansheng’s decision. After all, the players listed by Wansheng performed very well. If the club wanted to keep them, they would definitely have to raise their salary. There was no way to do this.
But thinking about the next job, he still has a very headache.
He was about to start dealing with those vampire-like agents. (To be continued ~^~)
