With the improvement of Yang Cheng's status in the club, his office has also been renovated, although it still looks quite simple, but at least it is much more advanced than when he first came, and he has computers and everything.

Yang Cheng sat on the sofa in his office, surrounded by Paul and the sad-faced Wernerzer.

As the vice president of the team, Wernerzer's responsibility is to run the team according to Yang Cheng's wishes, and for the stars in the team, Yang Cheng has already said that except for Kadlec and others who have decided to leave the team, all other players must stay, especially the main stars he values the most, such as Ballack, Veron, Nedved and Gattuso.

But it's one thing for him to want to stay, and it's another thing for people to want to stay.

"Two days ago, Veron's agent, Muscati, called the club in person and made it clear that Veron wanted to sign a brand new contract, with a salary that was three times the current one, and a signing fee of up to $10,000,......" Werner said indignantly.

"Is he stupid?" Yang Cheng sneered.

Paul, Bayer also felt that this was too much to ask for, "Veron's salary has always been the highest level in our team, after being promoted to the Bundesliga this season, we began to renew the player's salary, Veron performed well in the Bundesliga last season, and the salary increase is higher than the average player, they should be very satisfied!" ”。

"Discontented vampire, if he's still so stubborn, leave him alone! Yang Cheng said decisively.

"It's easy to say, I used to respond to Mascati in the same way, but guess what, yesterday the club received two faxes of offers, one for Lazio and one for Sampdoria, both hoping to get Veron." ”。

Speaking of this, Melzer spread his hands, "Mascati is now the most powerful football agent in Argentina Since the beginning of the century, after the closer relationship between South American football and Europe, he has risen, and almost most of the Argentine stars have come to Europe through his hands, because he is one of the few licensed agents recognized by FIFA." …”

"I've heard of him too, and I've heard that he has a lot of connections in Serie A and La Liga!". Paul, Byerton also felt a headache.

The relationship between the player and the agent is complicated, just like Veron, who currently has a lot of things handled by his father, but when it comes to international transfers, Muscati has to be used, because only he can handle Veron's international transfers.

Yang Cheng naturally didn't know that the key to Mascati's toughness this time was that he had not gone through Mascati before, and directly contacted Veron and his son, breaking Mascati's rules in Argentine football and suffering a certain loss, so this time Mascati wanted to win it back.

"Non-negotiable?" Yang Cheng still hopes to be able to make money in harmony.

The agent's troubles are not even in line with Ferguson and others, so he can only choose to compromise conditionally, otherwise if it really makes trouble, the agent encourages the players to make a transfer, which is not good for anyone.

Melzer shook his head: "Veron's contract extension has been going on since the end of last season, and it has been more than a month now, and there has been no progress, and now that the league is getting closer, they are going to force us to compromise on this matter." ”。

The Bundesliga is going to be played earlier than other leagues, and if the Carabao Cup does come to an end and Kaiserslautern refuses to let go, Mascati is likely to incite Veron to rebel and vote for another team.

Yang Cheng has also experienced this kind of habitual technique, and countless people have used it in the transfer market in his previous life, and there are even more despicable ones.

"How's Muscati this man?" Yang Cheng asked suddenly.

"A very strong and domineering agent, after many years of operation, other Argentine agents have gradually faded out of the football circle, but he has risen to become an Argentine football boss, and because he is one of the few agents in Argentina who holds a FIFA recognized agent license, plus he has a lot of influence in Italy and Spain, so the players dare not offend him.".

The meaning of Melzer's words is very clear, that is, I hope Yang Cheng understands a reality, Veron may be grateful to Yang Cheng for his insight and cultivation, but in front of the strong Muscati, Veron is extremely weak, as an Argentine player, Veron is very aware of the consequences of offending Mascati.

Therefore, when Kaiserslautern and Muscati go to war, Veron will switch to Muscati's camp even if he is reluctant, because he has to rely on Muscati.

South American football is so chaotic, many players have a lot of agents, but in fact, most of them are working for a very small number of big-name agents, such as Brazil's Figer, Argentina's Mascati and so on.

In contrast, Mendes, who is known as the No. 1 agent in world football, is still so depressed that he doesn't know where to mix!

As a time-traveler in his previous life, Yang Cheng knows at most some things related to stars, but he knows very little about things in the field of agents, so compared with Melzer, a person who has been in the Bundesliga all year round, the information is still seriously lacking.

"Muscati is a very cunning guy, he has connections in European football that no other agent can match, but at the same time, everyone knows that he is a cold-blooded vampire and a tyrant, even the European club executives who deal with him know this, but they still have to choose to work with Mascati because they want to get the Argentine talent in his hands, and the only thing they can do is to try to avoid going down the same path as Cruyff is!"

"Cruyff?" Yang Cheng was immediately puzzled by Melzer's words, "What does this have to do with Cruyff?" ”。

Melzer smiled slightly, and when he saw Paul, Baier didn't seem to know about this secret, and he was immediately interested.

"You should know Cruyff's resume, right?" Melzer asked.

Yang Cheng nodded, if he didn't know Cruyff's resume, then he really didn't have to mix in football.

After he left Barcelona, he went to the United States, and became teammates with Beckenbauer, 8 years he returned to Tran from the United States, joined Ajax, who had cultivated him since childhood, but during his time at Ajax, due to the team's sluggish rest, and because Cruyff was not young, it was difficult to be satisfactory, and in 1983, Ajax refused to renew his contract on the grounds of expensive wages and frequent injuries, and Cruyff switched to Feyenoord in anger! …”

"During his time at Feyenoord, Cruyff showed the last glory, leading the team to the Dutch league title, but beating his favorite team" Cruyff also regretted that one season later, despite Feyenoord's retention, he resolutely chose to leave, and only rejoined Ajax and became the club's management until Gollum! …”

"Do you know what happened in the middle of the year?" Melzer asked with a smile.

Yang Cheng and Paul Maer glanced at each other, and suddenly they both had an urge to kill him.

This person has the spirit of gossip in his bones, and he has a gene that wants to explore secrets, "Even Yang Cheng is no exception, not to mention that this secret is still related to Cruyff, so he has to understand it clearly."

Feeling Yang Cheng's eyes that were almost about to kill, Melzer suddenly laughed proudly, he rarely saw Yang Cheng so demanding, so he was very proud in his heart.

"Cruyff and Barcelona have a close relationship, and during Maradona's time at Barcelona, Muscati and Cruyff knew each other, and it is difficult to say who played together first" but Cruyff chose to work with Mascati after choosing to leave Feyenoord. ”。

"One of the two is a former world's top superstar, the other is an Argentine football predator, and the two sides hit it off" formulated a title, their purpose is to use Mascati's star resources in Argentina" plus Cruyff's connections in Europe, and actively operate Argentine stars to come to Europe, and then influence the world! ”。

Cruyff and Gustavo set up an agent company to become a hub of contact between Argentine and European football, as well as football around the world, and Cruyff vowed at the time that he had seen the light of day! …”

Speaking of this, Melzer shook his head and sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, Cruyff is not exaggerating, although from our retrospect now, he failed and boasted about Haikou, but at that time, the whole world almost believed his words, almost everyone felt that their plan was seamless, and even they even had a very thoughtful arrangement and plan for the development of Argentine players in Europe." ”。

"The whole of Europe was watching, expecting Cruyff to be able to take a second Maradona from Buenos Aires, but tragically, he failed, no one knows what happened here, but the relationship between Cruyff and Muscati was completely turned against each other, and he even revealed in a conversation that Mascati betrayed him!".

But Muscati doesn't admit it, he thinks he just made a proper decision at the right time, it's Cruyff who is stubborn and doesn't know how to be flexible, but no one knows what news is in it! Melzer shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

By the middle of the century, the media was not as developed as it is now, and information was seriously lagging behind, so many things were not known, let alone the secret of the cooperation between Cruyff and Muscati, two big football bigwigs.

"And after that?" Paul, Bair listened with relish and asked.

After that, Cruyff returned to Europe in discouragement, at that time many people in Europe persuaded him to go to Brazil, and Figel also expressed interest in working with Cruyff, but Cruyff gave up this idea, accepted the recruitment of Ajax, became the technical director of the club, and embarked on a successful coaching path!".

However, after Cruyff's plan failed, Figel learned from it, and after seeing the country's domestic economy struggling, he withdrew and sent some of the stars who were already well-known in Brazil to Europe to make room for new rookies, so as to form an effective star circulation system. …”

"Those Brazilian stars transfer to Europe, on the one hand, to create opportunities for the emergence of rookies in the country, and at the same time, once they make a name for themselves in Europe, they can bring a steady stream of income to Brazil, attracting Brazil to cultivate batches of young talents" and then form an orderly digestive system to ensure the sustainable development of Brazilian football, this is the Brazilian global strategy! ”

After Yang Cheng listened, he immediately thought of the reason why Brazilian football will be called by world football in the next few years.

By the end of the year, Brazilian players can be seen in the football league of almost any economically developed country in the world, and they often represent a typical example of good quality and low price, but even if they are supplied to the world, there is still an endless shortage of football talents in Brazil.

From this point, he can imagine how perfect the Brazilian global strategy system established by Figel and others is, and how forward-looking it is, at least the development of Brazilian football is inseparable from the influence of this system.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but admire Figer and others, at least in his opinion, a smart agent should not only know how to squeeze benefits from players, but also know how to make profits for players, so Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and others all respect Figer very much and respect him as the godfather of Brazilian football.

Of course, it's not that Figer is so great that he sacrifices himself, at least in his previous life, Denilson's switch to Real Betis Figer was obviously carried away by interests, but this cannot hide his contribution to Brazilian football.

"What happened to Muscati?" Paul, Beyer noticed that Melzer was talking farther and farther, and quickly brought the topic back.

"When Argentina's economy grew by leaps and bounds, the scope of trade expanded to the whole world, so many football practitioners, including Muscati, turned their backs on football and went to the sea to do business, because in their opinion, instead of working hard to earn gray trading income, it is better to do business in the name of justice, coupled with the interpersonal relationships they established when they were engaged in football, so that they also gained a lot in business."

Today's Mascati is a well-known rich man in Argentina, if it weren't for the recent economic downturn in Argentina, he re-established and expanded the agent company, I'm afraid he would have left this circle a long time ago, but after making a lot of money outside, and then returning to the football circle, Mascati's ambition has also grown, and he used to take a small part of the commission has not satisfied him, so he has specifically done the business of buying and selling player ownership, and the commission on player contracts has also increased from the general 10% to 15%, and even reached 25% , which made the players complain! ”。

"Isn't there anyone against him?" Yang Cheng suddenly thought of something.

Melzer shook his head and smiled, "Why? How is it reversed? Almost the vast majority of Argentina's FIFA licensed agents work in his company, and the players have him? Given Mascati's connections and network in Europe, the players will inevitably be a little intimidating. ”

Yang Cheng is right when he thinks about it, the agent is equivalent to the spokesperson of the player, and the relationship between the two is very close, if it is not for the bottom line, the player will not casually entrust his image rights and other aspects of power to the agent, and they generally choose the agent to be familiar, preferably a native.

That's why Brazil has Figer, Argentina has Muscati, and later Portugal has Mendes, all of which are the same.

At this point, all three people in the office fell silent, because Paul... Bayer is also beginning to find that this time the opponent is so difficult that it is no wonder that even Melzer is powerless.

As for Yang Cheng, he was suddenly touched by Melzer's words just now, and vaguely remembered something, chasing it in his own memory, so he didn't speak for a while.

"How do you think about it? Melzer asked with a wry smile.

Paul, Byer shook his head in annoyance, obviously dealing with Muscati as well.

Both of them immediately looked at Yang Cheng, who was thinking hard with a frown, and it took nearly a minute before he suddenly laughed.

"Did you do it? Melzer and Paul asked Lton in surprise.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Yes, I think the best thing to do at the moment is to leave him alone!" …”

"What?." The two of them suddenly lost their voices, is this also okay?

Yang Cheng smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Werner, since Mascati wants to blackmail, then he will definitely not be in a hurry to instigate the player to leave, I will have a good talk with Veron, even if he can't give me any guarantees, at least I can stabilize him for the time being, not to mention anything else, I still have this confidence!" ”。

"As long as Veron is stabilized temporarily, we will slowly clean up Muscati!" A fierce look flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes.

He is now beginning to understand a little bit why so many head coaches are reluctant to face his agent later, if Yang Cheng can't teach Muscati a hard lesson this time, maybe he will blackmail again and again in the future, and finally become inertia, wouldn't he have to compromise again and again?

"If an ant wants to suck some blood on my body, I will not hesitate to slap him to death, maybe I will lose a little blood, but I will never see this mosquito again, and the other ants will also be dispersed and avoided!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Leaving Yang Cheng's office, Melzer looked puzzled, and he couldn't figure it out along the way.

"Paul, do you think he really did it?" Melzer asked cautiously, after all, Veron's affairs can be big or small.

Paul, Baier smiled, "Don't worry, since Yang Cheng said that he has done it, then it must be done, I have always been very confident in him, I really haven't seen anything that can be difficult for him, so you just need to do what he says." ”。

Melzer smiled worriedly, but when he thought of Yang Cheng from the time he joined Kaiserslautern to now, it seemed that there was really nothing that could not be done, and he had some expectations in his heart.

Perhaps, this time, he can really solve this problem! (To be continued.)
