Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kung Fu Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kung Fu

Milan, Inter ABP, 8.30am.

Inter general manager Marotta hurried to his office.

In this winter break, when the players are on vacation

, as a professional manager, Marotta has not rested for a moment!



Inter general manager Marotta, because of the eyes have strabismus, the quacks call horse squint

Not to mention a vacation, this mobile phone is kept on 24 hours a day, and calls and text messages have not stopped.

He entered the official mailbox of the club, and sent inquiry emails from major clubs

, which shocked him! There were a total of six bid letters about Ye Chen, from Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Barcelona and Liverpool.

Because

Ye Chen's contract has a termination clause of 9 million euros, these teams have all opened a round number of 9 million euros.

In other words, these teams can activate Ye Chen's liquidated damages clause at any time.

As long as you negotiate personal contract treatment with Ye Chen, you can take Ye Chen away immediately!

"Good fellow, this is my life!" Looking

at this email, beads of sweat could not help but appear on Marotta's forehead.

Ye Chen is the top scorer in the Serie A half and the biggest contributor to Inter's victory in the half league!

Whether it is Lukaku, the first person in the team, or Candereva, the player opposite Ye Chen, in a tactical sense, they cannot replace Ye Chen's contribution to Inter.

If Inter want to win the championship at the end of the season, they must keep Ye Chen in the team!

Therefore, Marotta agreed with Ye Chen last night to come to the club this morning to negotiate the terms of the extension.

He must remove Ye Chen's liquidated damages clause in the latest contract.

The 9 million euro clause was finalized by Inter's technical director Victor when Ye Chen came to Inter from Manchester to sign a professional contract contract.

At that time, Ye Chen was just a young player who was terminated by Manchester United.

If it weren't for the recommendation of Ziwo, the manager of the Inter youth team at the time, Ye Chen would not have been able to get this professional player contract.

Therefore, when Victor signed the contract with Ye Chen, he didn't even take the figure of 9 million to heart.

Even fantasized: if this kid has a good performance, maybe which team has a hot brain and really takes him away with 9 million euros, then we can see that the profit has been over!

"Victor's fifteen-year technical director is in vain, a fool, there is nothing to put any liquidated damages clause, now Ye Chen has become the fragrant food of the whole of Europe, but he wants me to wipe Victor's ass!"

Marotta was nervously handling official business in the office, waiting for Ye Chen's arrival.

The goal of his meeting with Ye Chen this time is that the original five-year contract will remain unchanged, the liquidated damages clause will be removed, and the annual salary will be changed from 500,000 euros to 2 million euros.

An hour later, Ye Chen pushed the door open on time.

"Mr. Marotta, long wait, I'm here to negotiate the contract.

Marotta turned off the computer, put on her glasses, and got up to greet her with a smile.

"Coming? Have you eaten breakfast? It's really hard for you to come to the club during the vacation..."

The general manager of Inter and Ye Chen had not yet said a few polite words, and suddenly found that there was still a person standing behind Ye Chen.

"This, this is..." Marotta was stunned.

"Hello, Mr. Marotta, we meet again!"

Mendes, dressed in a suit and tie, kept his figure in good shape.

He held Marotta's hand tightly.

In the summer transfer window of 2018, Ronaldo came to Juventus from Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 117 million euros!

He and Mendes are at the negotiating table, and have a bitter clash over transfer fees and player contract treatment.

As Italy's most senior club manager, Marotta, who has been involved in football management since the age of 19, has been in the industry for more than four decades.

Experience, judgment, and knowledge are all top levels in the industry.

Often through their superb negotiation skills and tactical concessions based on retreat, they can achieve results that satisfy both the club and the players.

But in that confrontation with Mendes, Marotta did not take advantage of anything.

Not only did Juventus a 33-year-old veteran cost the club's first huge transfer fee.

It was also forced to accept Mendes' demand for an after-tax annual salary of 31 million euros.

You know, in Serie A, which is not financially rich, this salary is four times that of the second-place, Dutch defender De Helit!

Marotta was afraid of Mendes from then on, and every time he said, "This guy is so ruthless, I won't do business with him again!"

The meeting between the agent and the club manager is to make an appointment in advance, everyone is very busy, and a sudden visit will seem rude.

Mendes and Ye Chen looked at each other and smiled.

This looked at each other with a smile, and when he saw Marotta on the side, his scalp was numb.

Wouldn't it?

Hard, isn't it!...

Inter negotiating room.

Ye Chen and Mendes sat together, and Inter general manager Marotta sat opposite.

Marotta looked bitter and loveless.

Ye Chen signed with this agent, I Marotta really poured eight lifetimes of blood mold

!" "Mr. Mendes, the offer of 8.5 million euros of annual salary after tax, I really can't accept, this number is too exaggerated, if I agree, the club president will let me go backhand!"

Although Marotta knew that the other party must have shouted first, and then negotiated.

But you're shouting too high

, 8.5 million euros, even if I cut in half, it's far beyond my bottom line!

Mendes disagreed, shrugging his shoulders at Marotta.

"Mr. General Manager, my client Ye Chen and I are negotiating a new contract with full sincerity, and I hope you will also show sincerity.

"As far as I know, now Inter's top paid player Lukaku, with an annual salary of 8.5 million euros after tax, I ask Ye Chen to reach the same level as Lukaku, is this unacceptable for you?" "Ye Chen's

goals are twice as many as Lukaku!"

Ye Chen is only 17 years old and has played good balls for half a season, so he gave him the top salary in the team.

"

No way, Mendes, let me tell you the truth, if I give Ye Chen 8.5 million euros, other players, such as Lautaro, Barrera, Brozovic, will come to me for a raise, and at that time, even if there are two Inter Milans, they will not be able to bear it."

Mendes spread his hands, "Hey, you're interesting, this is your Inter general manager's business, I, as a player agent, is to maximize the benefits of my clients, other things, not what I need to care about."

Marotta knew that Mendes was not a good lord to deal with, and his original plan was to fight a long-term war.

But the current urgent situation, he can't fight a protracted war!

Ye Chen's termination fee is only 9 million euros.

This little money is just a matter of sprinkling water for several giants in Europe!

As long as they took out the money, they could discuss the contract one-on-one with Ye Chen's consent.

Marotta is making a final struggle:

"Mendes, we are old acquaintances, last year, Ronaldo came to Juve's transfer, I was the general manager of Juve at that time, and the transfer was also discussed with you personally, you say, I offered conditions, did not take advantage of you!"

Mendes smiled.



In 2018, Ronaldo and

Mendes celebrated the completion of the transfer from Real Madrid to Juve in a restaurant in Turin, which was the largest transfer promoted by Mendes' career, and it was a lot of money.

"Yes, Mr. Marotta, you were so generous at Juventus last year, why did you become so fast-buttoned and refused to pay a salary of 8.5 million euros?"

Using the fancy pen turning method, let a plain fountain pen fly around at the fingertips, like a beautiful figure skater, showing a difficult turning and jumping action.

It is rumored in the industry that when negotiating with Mendes, if you see him start to turn the pen fancy, you have to be careful, this guy is going to make a big move

! Mendes held the pen and slammed it on the table, making a loud noise!

Marotta was so frightened that his body flicked and blurted out a dirty word

: "&*¥%@#, what are you doing so loudly, it scares me to death!" Mendes

said in an aggressive tone: "Since Juventus can meet Ye Chen's salary, then I will call Juventus now and ask them to negotiate a contract tomorrow!"

Marotta gasped.

"Mendes, you dare!" Marotta's face suddenly changed, and his eyes showed fierceness!

"If you run Ye Chen to Inter's sworn enemy Juventus, I'm not exaggerating, you kid won't want to mess around in Italy in the future

!" "Well, you see if I dare!" Mendes smiled and took out his mobile phone, dialed Juve's chairman Agnelli to call, and also dialed the mobile phone interface and showed Marotta.

Marotta saw that Mendes was really coming

, and got up at once! Across the table, he used a yang finger magic skill and poked the hang-up button of the phone.

"Well, anything can be discussed," Marotta sat back down, her face like a chameleon, and squeezed out a smile.

"Ye Chen, don't always say Mr. Mendes, you tell me what you think. "

Old fox Marotta, see Mendes this guy can't get in the oil and salt.

Just change the strategy and start communicating with Ye Chen.

After all, agents only act as a bridge, and although sometimes building bridges is crucial – it is the players themselves who cross the bridge.

Therefore, the player's personal wishes are also very important!

Marotta looked at Ye Chen with a smile and began to play the emotional card.

"Ye Chen, the whole club, including the fans, likes you and loves you very much, and we have the greatest respect and gratitude for your dedication to the players. "

I remember you promised me to stay at Inter Milan in the winter transfer window and renew my contract with us. "

For this reason, I also transferred your youth training teacher in Manchester, Mr. Green, to Inter U17 as the leader, with his company, you are the happiest to stay in Milan City, you say?"

Ye Chen smiled and nodded, "Dear Mr. Marotta, I am grateful that Inter extended an olive branch to me when I was released by Manchester United, I had a very happy time here, and I got along very well with my teammates."

"But regarding the renewal of the contract, I have given my sole discretion to my agent, Mr. Mendes, to host it for me, and you better talk to him." "

From a personal point of view, Ye Chen wants to stay in Inter Milan.

However, before coming to negotiate, Mendes and Ye Chen agreed on three chapters.

Ye Chen spoke less, but replied to Marotta with a smile, a nod, a thought, and noncommittal remarks.

The specific details are still handled by Mendes himself.

As Ye Chen's agent, Mendes and Interests are tied to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen can get a more attractive contract through Mendes, and Mendes can withdraw 10% of the commission income every year in Ye Chen's contract.

Marotta scratched his head, his squinted eyes rolled for a moment, then smiled and dialed Barrera's phone.

"Ye Chen, I know that Barrera has a good relationship with you, you two are still neighbors, you listen to what he says, young man, salary is not so important, the important platform is the prospect, it's you...

"Barrera, I'm Marotta, I'm negotiating a new contract with Ye Chen, stuck here with an annual salary, I know you two have a good relationship, you do me a favor and persuade Ye Chen!"

On the other end of the phone, Barrera hesitated for a while.

You are

a hairless iron cock, you must be seizure and search do not want to give money, let me wipe your ass for you!"

Marotta looked at Mendes with a smug look, turned the phone to the amplifier, and handed it to Ye Chen.

Barrera's gritty voice came from the phone.

Ye Chen, don't listen to him fooling, the efficiency of averaging more than one goal per game, only to pay a salary of 500,000 euros, if I want to say, at least 5 million to start, you open your mouth and ask him to ask him, I don't believe he won't give it to you!"

Mendes burst out laughing.

Ye Chen smiled and said nothing.

Marotta took the phone back with a black face, and roared angrily at Barrera on the other end of the phone:

"Fuck your 5 million, or give half of your salary to Ye Chen, I will promise to give him 5 million, you can't do it!"

Mendes shook his head with a smile and leaned back in his chair to sit up straight.

"Or Marotta, in fact, my clients have repeatedly expressed to me their desire to stay at Inter. "

Everyone knows that the reason why I Mendes is so loved by stars is because I don't deliberately let players keep transferring for their own commission, like some agents, one team this year and one team next year." "

I am an agent who is willing to consider for clients, I respect the personal wishes of clients, since Ye Chen wants to stay at Inter, we will talk about his new contract at Inter."

Mendes didn't go around the fence anymore and asked directly.

"Just according to what Barrera said, 5 million euros a year, I will give you the reserve price directly, and we will not go around."

Marotta saw Mendes' offer drop from 8.5 million to 5 million, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

That's how negotiations work,

but the price still makes Marotta very embarrassed.

He frowned.

Indeed, if Ye Chen goes to Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester City, he can get 5 million.

But Inter's financial level....

Mendes

seemed to be prepared for Marotta's reaction, and he immediately had a plan.

"Valero can't play at Inter anymore, I'm not mistaken, Marotta?"

Spaniard Valero, who is not a customer of Mendes, asked what to do.

"You do this, let's make a deal," Mendes beckoned, motioning for Marotta to poke his head in.

"I know the veteran Valero can't meet your team-building requirements, you need to sell him, but there hasn't been a suitable team to take over, right, Marotta?"

"That's true, before you came, I was selling this boss all over the world, he has only made four appearances this season, all of them are substitutes, and his contract with Inter is only half a year, and if he doesn't sell it, he will be free to leave at the end of the season.

Mendes nodded in satisfaction, and Marotta's answer was anticipatory.

"You give Ye Chen 5 million euros of annual salary after tax, I will help you sell Valero, not only can save him the remaining half a year's salary of 1.5 million, but also let you return a transfer fee of two or three million euros, what do you think?" Marotta's

eyes lit up when he heard this!

"Who exactly to sell to, you tell me in detail!" Mendes

leaned back tactically, leaned back on the back of his chair, and continued to play with the pen in his hand.

"You don't care about this, I have my own channels, if you trust me, sign a new contract with Ye Chen, as for Balero, I promise to help you send this master away within a week." "

Actually, Mendes received a call yesterday.

Zaragoza, who are aiming to rush to the first division this season, are now ranked 7th, still a little short of the end-of-season play-offs, and hope to bring in an experienced midfielder who can control the ball in the winter, strengthen the attack, hit the number of goals, and strive to fight in the second half of the season and rush into La Liga.

Although Valero was in the final years of his career, his fitness and confrontation declined, and he could not meet the requirements of a big club like Inter.

But with his life at his feet and the overall situation, it is more than enough to hit Xi B.

Even because of the league style of West B advocating technology and light body, Valero went, and if he couldn't rejuvenate his second spring!

Although Mendes is difficult, his character is well-known in the industry.

Promised promises, never broken words.

"Okay, Mendes, I believe you, I will give Ye Chen an annual salary of 5 million euros after tax, and the contract will remain unchanged for the original five years, but I ask to remove the liquidated damages clause!"

On the new contract that Ye Chen opened, he signed his name, and overnight, his annual salary increased tenfold.

PS: The two chapters of cooperation tonight are mainly about the story of the player entrusting his own agent and negotiating the process with the club's general manager in charge of the transfer. This process is actually very complicated, involving all the factors, and it is difficult to negotiate in a single meeting. I simplified the process. This story, for readers who do not know football, can play a proper role in popularizing science.
