Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 529 A comfortable assistant is very important
The end of the season is the transfer work.

The club's transfer work is very complicated. To win the 'Triple Crown' Millwall, the first thing to determine is which players will definitely stay, which players are not sure about their intentions, and which players are sure to leave. Eliminate those players whose performance cannot keep up.

The club's contract renewal work has already begun.

Those players who perform well and whose salary and performance are obviously inconsistent will definitely get a new contract if they stay. Players who have already signed a heavy contract also need to determine their intention to stay. Some fringe players in the team will sign a new contract. , or whether to stay, it is up to Zhang Yang to decide.

In the Millwall team, there are still quite a few players who will renew, terminate, or leave through normal transfers.

The first is the goalkeeper position.

Veteran Hislop is determined to leave. It is impossible for him to continue to play the main force in Millwall. With his age as a substitute for a season, he basically can only wait for retirement.

Hislop did not choose to renew his contract for another year, but decided to leave on a free transfer.

Graham has been promoted to No. [-] and is certain to sign a new contract.

In addition to Hislop and Graham, the first team also has a young goalkeeper Vito Mannone. Mannone is only 19 years old. He played a few games for the Millwall youth team last season and played for the first team. But once, in the English League Cup, he had no experience and could only go to the lower leagues if he wanted to leave. The club asked about his intentions, and Mannone decided to stay and wait for the opportunity.

In addition, Li Wei, who was loaned to Serie B, is ready to return when his contract expires. The good news is that he has entered the Chinese Olympic team, and Li Wei has been entrusted a lot to enter the national team at such a young age. expectations.

However, Li Wei still couldn't obtain a labor certificate, and he couldn't apply for the 'genius clause' with his qualifications, so he could only continue to be rented out.

Millwall's back line is very stable, and several core players-Zambrota, Darren Ward, Konchesky, Arbeloa, Wes Morgan and others are determined to stay.

Among them, Konchesky and Arbeloa received salary increases, Darren Ward signed a new contract, and his weekly salary reached [-] pounds, which is almost the same as that of Zambrotta. This level of salary is higher than that of defenders. Speaking of which, it is definitely a high salary.

In the past season, Alan Hutton and Traore performed very averagely. Zhang Yang also used the new ability "Luck Prophet" to learn that Traore's "Health Luck Index Rating" in the next season is only 53 points, which is far lower than In the normal range of around seventy, Traore can only be listed for sale.

Zhang Yang has not yet decided to list Hutton, or let him continue to stay on the team for observation, after all Hutton is barely qualified as a substitute.

The changes in the midfield are also relatively large.

Veterans Harman and Smicer left on free transfers, Sean Davis applied for a transfer, and veteran Pires stayed, but he is getting old and his physical fitness can't keep up with him in the latter part of the season. The left wing definitely needs to be supplemented.

Zhang Yang used the "Luck Prophet" to judge Quaresma's "Health Luck Index Rating", which is still very pessimistic, with a value of only 61 points. Quaresma himself also intends to go to the Spanish or Portuguese leagues. His tough style doesn't suit him.

This may also be the reason why Quaresma is prone to injuries.

Zhang Yang thought about it for a long time.

Whether Quaresma will leave is actually decided by Zhang Yang. If he does some psychological comfort work, Quaresma will probably choose to stay, but in the end Zhang Yang decided to let Quaresma leave. After all, Quaresma It is too easy to get injured, if you stay, you may encounter serious injuries, maybe if you leave to go to other leagues, the 'health and luck index rating' may improve?

Maybe.

Zhang Yang is not sure about this, but the value will definitely change after leaving the team, because the effect of prediction will always change.

The football game is a proof, and the environmental changes are also one aspect.

For example, if Quaresma suddenly retires, the "Health Luck Index Rating" will definitely be greatly improved. If he doesn't play football anymore, the health risks will naturally be greatly reduced. Got into a fight?

Finally, there is the striker, and the striker is the one that has changed the most.

After the Champions League final, Darren Bent considered leaving. It is no longer a private secret. Zhang Yang didn’t know Darren Bent’s thoughts before, but there were many reports in the media. In fact, it’s not a big deal. , There will be a lot of transfer news, Darren Bent is the leading shooter, naturally there will be a lot of poaching, and it will also attract a lot of reports.

Darren Bent's thinking is the key.

Zhang Yang didn't know if Darren Bent wanted to leave, but the club contacted Darren Bent. His agent said that if Darren Bent wanted to stay in the team, he had to get a bigger contract.

How big is the bigger contract?

At present, Darren Bent's weekly salary has exceeded [-] pounds, and the highest salary is [-] pounds. He can compete with the world's top stars. Bent won the league golden boot and the Champions League golden boot, but There is still a certain gap from the world's top level. With the current salary system of the club, it is impossible to give Darren Bent a huge salary alone.

The club knows that, and Darren Bent certainly knows it too.

The meaning of Bent's agent is obvious. Bent is thinking about leaving. Maybe the wealthy club has attracted him with a maximum salary, or maybe he wants to change the environment. In short, Bent is planning to leave.

The impact of Bent's departure is still very big. Wilkinson panicked when he got the news. He ran to the head coach's office, opened the door and said to Zhang Yang, "You know what? Bent's agent said that he There is also a salary increase, and I think what he means is that he wants to manipulate Bent's transfer."

Zhang Yang touched his forehead, frowned and said in distress, "I know!"

"I don't know if it's Bent who wants to leave, or the agent's intention. I think we should ask carefully. Maybe they just want to raise their salary?" Wilkinson said comfortingly.

"He knows he can't raise his salary! At least it's impossible now!" Zhang Yang said, "His contract was signed last year, which is already the team's maximum salary. Of course, you should consider this aspect. If you are willing to give Bent a raise Salary, let him stay, I don't mind."

Wilkinson fell silent for a moment.

He was a little flustered before. Bent is a leading shooter, with double golden boots in the league and the Champions League, and Millwall's signature star. He never thought that Bent would leave, but now that he thinks about it carefully, the club cannot give Bent any more Salary increase, Bent's agent said that there is no other possibility for a salary increase, and he must be planning to leave.

"Then what should we do?" Wilkinson said, "I only talked to Bent a few times, why don't you call and ask? You should get along well."

What Wilkinson meant was to ask Zhang Yang to persuade Bent to use his emotional relationship to keep Bent on the team. Zhang Yang also felt that he should make a phone call to confirm the news. What if it was true that Bent's agent was planning to hype it up, or for other reasons? ?
Call right away.

It took more than ten seconds on the opposite side before pressing the answer button. Zhang Yang asked bluntly, "Darren? Are you planning to leave the team?"

"..."

On the other side he hesitated, as if he didn't know how to express it.

Zhang Yang continued to ask, "Just tell the truth, which club?"

"..."

Bent continued to be silent, and after a while he said, "Boss, I'm sorry, they offered a big contract, and I can't find a reason to refuse. I have been contacted by several teams, but I want to stay in England, Manchester United There is sincerity with Tottenham."

"Manchester United? Not bad!"

Zhang Yang sighed casually, feeling a little regretful that Bent was bought by money.

Damn money!

Zhang Yang wasn't angry. Instead, he seemed to be chatting with friends, and asked with interest, "How big is the contract? Can you tell me?"

"..."

Bent never expected that the coach would ask such a personal question. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Tottenham promised me £600 million after tax and a large signing fee."

"Sure enough!"

Zhang Yang sighed, the after-tax is 600 million pounds, and the average weekly salary is more than 11 pounds. Such a high salary has reached the top level in the world. No wonder Bent has no reason to refuse.

Zhang Yang didn't try to persuade him. Like a friend, he discussed a few words with Bent, only to suddenly ask at the end, "If the club gives you the same contract, will you still leave?"

"..."

Bent hesitated.

"Okay, I see. I wish you all the best in the future." Zhang Yang put down the phone without giving Bent a chance to answer.

It's not that Zhang Yang didn't think about keeping Bent, but he almost knew Bent's heart. During the two seasons, he has always valued Bent, and he still knows Bent's character very well.

This guy is very low-key on weekdays, and he doesn't talk much in the team, but he still has a lot of ideas in his heart. He wants to leave Millwall, and it's not just the temptation of a high salary. The contract between Wall and Bent has a salary increase clause. In the second year, the salary will increase by 15.00% compared with the first year. By analogy, next season will be the second year, and in the third year, Bent’s weekly salary will be It would be over a hundred thousand pounds.

This is also one of the reasons why the club cannot offer a higher contract.

Bent signed a four-year contract, and his salary has already reached the peak, and there is no room for improvement at all.

So why did Bent leave, even if the club offered the same contract, he didn't just say 'stay', but became hesitant?

pressure!

The outside world knows that Bent is Millwall's leading shooter, but he is under a lot of pressure. There are many outstanding players in the team, and his direct competitor Vardy is getting better every year.

In the past season, Vardy's average performance was no worse than that of Bent, and it was still improving.

Benter must have felt the pressure.

So next season, will Bent still be Millwall's 'leading striker'?

Choosing to leave at the most glorious time is actually the best choice. With the aura of "League and Champions League Double Golden Boots", leave Millwall to join other teams, get the ideal big contract, and continue to be the team's leader Being a shooter is the most beneficial choice.

Zhang Yang believed that someone must analyze all this for Bent, which also prompted him to decide to leave.

Wilkinson couldn't see these many things. He felt sorry for Bent's departure, and complained anxiously, "Why don't you persuade him more."

Zhang Yang shrugged and said directly, "Get ready for the transfer! Talk to Manchester United, talk to Tottenham, they should have offers, right?"

Wilkinson nodded and said, "Manchester United's offer is 4000 million pounds, Tottenham's offer is 4000 million pounds."

"The job of the transfer, you decide, but I think Bent is inclined to join Tottenham, so the club can ask for more money. That has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Yang expressed his attitude.

Wilkinson was very surprised. Pure businessmen were all qualified actors. He was not in such a hurry as he appeared. On the contrary, he looked forward to Bent's transfer and departure.

Wilkinson's performance was just to appease Zhang Yang's heart, showing that Bent's departure was his own choice and had nothing to do with the club.

When Wilkinson breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yang's attitude of 'nothing', he was also very surprised.

Darren Bent!
That's the team's leading shooter!

Shouldn't a head coach be angry that a leading shooter is leaving?

Wilkinson didn't know that when Zhang Yang led the team to win, the proportion of stars played was very small.

The team played good results, the biggest credit is publicity.

This is the word of praise given to Zhang Yang by the fans. What they don't even know is that Zhang Yang has contributed the most, let alone formulating tactics and preparing for battles. Without Zhang Yang's command, the team's results would not have It's going to be very poor, but definitely a big notch down.

this is the key of the problem.

So Zhang Yang doesn't care much about the departure of players. Even if it is the core of the team, he can find a good replacement and guarantee to perform well. It is a pity that Bent leaves, but Vardy is not bad, as long as there is Vardy With Di here, there is no need to introduce too big stars.

There is no need for Bent to pay too much attention to leaving.

----

Zhang Yang doesn't care about Bent's departure, but the impact of Bent's departure is still very large. On the one hand, he is Millwall's leading striker. He has just won the Golden Boot honors in the league and the Champions League. He is also at his best age. As long as it is negotiated, it will definitely be an amazingly large deal.

Bent, on the other hand, has considerable influence among fans.

Although Bent wants to leave on his own, there will definitely be fans who will be dissatisfied. The club has not reached the point of tearing faces with Bent, and must help calm public opinion from the outside world.

The supplement of the striker is the most important thing.

Millwall has a younger Jamie Vardy, Bent left and Vardy supported him, and then introduced a striker with certain strength, and the striker was restructured.

Zhang Yang is not worried about striker signings.

What the transfer market lacks are strong midfielders and defenders. Defensive players are always in demand, but this is where the strangeness lies. The media and fans always like to stare at frontcourt players. It can cause a series of reports, but in fact, strikers are easy to buy.

Zhang Yang's way of setting signing goals is a bit incomprehensible.

Frederick is the "first assistant" in the signing work. Zhang Yang's work goal for Humpty is to collect as much information as possible on players who have been listed or may be transferred, "full name, age, photo, experience, recent The performance data of a season, etc., the more detailed the information, the better, the most important are two positions, one is the left and right midfielder, and the other is the striker. Our back line is easy to supplement, and the goalkeeper also needs a substitute.”

Collecting player data is not an easy job.

It is easy to find information on some big-name stars, because there are more media reports, but leaving the five major European leagues, such as the Eredivisie, Portuguese, and Belgian leagues, including the leagues of Brazil and Argentina, it is not necessary to find information on outstanding players.

If you want to find information about a player, even if the player is unknown, you can still buy it from professional scouts, but with so much information involving hundreds or thousands of players, it will take a lot of time and effort.

Frederick felt dizzy when he heard that, and he couldn't help complaining, "I've already booked the plane ticket, and I'm going to go on vacation!"

"But you still stayed." Zhang Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, and compared three fingers with his hand, "For triple the salary!"

This is also an important reason for Frederick to stay.

The British labor law is very strict about the protection of holidays. Even if Frederick is an assistant coach, the working hours are not certain, but the contract he signed still has vague regulations on vacation time.

When all the team's games are over, the assistant coach will have [-] to [-] days off.

Wise left and was too busy with work. Frederick could only 'work overtime', but he could choose to continue his vacation, because his vacation was protected by law, and the club had no right to force him to continue working.

The most important reason why Frederick chose to stay was that the club tripled his salary.

Working for one week now is equivalent to three weeks on weekdays. The Humpty Man decisively refunded his air ticket and decided to stay and continue to earn pounds, earn back the vacation expenses in advance, and still have a considerable balance.

It is absolutely impossible for Frederick to admit that he stayed for triple salary, "Don't talk about salary! I am for the club! Now the club is busy with work, I have to stay, no one loves Millwall more than me .”

Zhang Yang felt a little nauseous, "Then return the extra money to the club."

"No! That's what I deserve."

Frederick had a resolute and righteous face, which gave Zhang Yang a new understanding of this guy's thick skin.

How can an assistant coach be thicker than the head coach?
This is very unreasonable.

Looking at the background of Frederick's departure, and thinking about the coming season, Zhang Yang made the decision to "sign in" this short and fat man as the first assistant: he must find a comfortable assistant!
