Episode [014]: You Annoying Little Fairy
When Zhong Cheng was about to go back to his room to sleep and rest, a middle-aged man stopped him.
Yes, we met by chance!
However, it's not a chance encounter with some beautiful woman, it's not a beautiful encounter, and it won't evolve into a beautiful love story.
Two big men, at most, can evolve into a romantic story.
Zhong Cheng naturally knew the man in front of him. Because in the past season, Zhong Cheng and him have played against him twice, in the Premier League.
This person is the Dutchman Martin Jol, the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur.
When he saw Martin Jol, he knew what the purpose of this man was? Obviously, this guy is aiming at Lennon and James Milner in their team.
A long time ago, he saw the quotation from Tottenham Hotspur handed over to his desk. It is really whimsical to want to pack Lennon and James Milner for 16 million pounds.
However, Zhong Cheng didn't say anything in person?
Zhong Cheng agreed to Martin Jol's invitation, and the two went to the coffee shop of this hotel.
Because it is the time of the World Cup, there are reporters and paparazzi cruising outside many hotels. They all want to try their luck and see if they can find some big news.
The hotel where Zhong Cheng lived was also surrounded by many reporters. Zhong Cheng and the two of them did not give these reporters a chance, but went to the coffee shop cautiously.
Dutch coach Martin Jol greeted Zhong Cheng as a master, after all, he was the one who came to the door.
Zhong Cheng sat quietly opposite Martin Jol, quietly stirring the steaming coffee in front of him with a spoon in his hand, the rising mist fell on Zhong Cheng's face, and there was a hot Feel.
After all, the weather in Germany is still a bit hot now.
At this time, Martin Jol said bluntly: "I think Mr. Loya already knows the purpose of my coming to you, right?"
Zhong Cheng nodded and said, "Mr. Martin is here for Lennon and James Milner, right?"
Martin Jol nodded directly and said: "Yes, Mr. Loya, I really came here for these two people!"
Zhong Cheng said in his heart: "As expected. It seems that this Dutchman values these two people very much, otherwise he would not have come here to meet him! Moreover, he has taken great pains to act like this encounter!"
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, "I never thought Mr. Martin would value them so much!"
Martin Jol said: "Both of these two are very suitable for my tactics, I think they will play a more important role when they come to my club!"
Hearing this, Zhong Cheng frowned. It seems that this guy has been in contact with these two people in private, otherwise he would not be able to say it in this way.
Zhong Cheng felt a little uncomfortable. This guy actually contacted his players in private.
But Zhong Cheng couldn't say anything? Because this has become an open secret in the circle. When introducing players, many head coaches contact the players they fancy in private.
To be honest, Zhong Cheng once did the same.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng did not show his dissatisfaction. More importantly, Zhong Cheng received calls from the agents of Lennon and Milner, who clearly expressed their desire to leave Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng tried to persuade him to stay, but it was obvious that the two were caring.
Zhong Cheng really didn't want to understand that these two players from Leeds United's youth training are going to leave Leeds United just like that. Isn't this a bit wrong?
Now that he knew what the players thought, Zhong Cheng naturally stopped trying to keep him.
However, it will not be too easy for these two people to leave Leeds United. After all, Leeds United trained these two people. More importantly, they just renewed their contract before the start of last season, so if they want to leave now, they have to pay some price.
Of course, these costs have to be paid by the team that wants to take them.
Zhong Cheng said directly: "Maybe. Since you are here today, I will tell you clearly!"
Martin Jol kept nodding his head. He really wanted to know Zhong Cheng's true story, so he fixed his eyes on Zhong Cheng. Because before, they did not get any response to the transfer offer they submitted, which made Martin Jol unclear about Leeds United's true thoughts.
This season, Martin Jol is ready to do a big job.
Tottenham Hotspur finished sixth in the Premier League last season, and the whole team was very happy and excited. They also have a better goal. They want to hit the UEFA Champions League and at the same time move towards the rich clubs.
Martin Jol, who is going to do a big job, naturally hopes to introduce some powerful players. He is now optimistic about Lennon and Milner, and he hopes to introduce them to the team.
For this reason, Martin Jol contacted these two players in private and offered them a very high weekly salary. At the same time, he also expressed to the two that they will become one of the most important players of Tottenham Hotspur.
Yes, Martin Jol gave them money and at the same time gave them very high status. It's no wonder that these two young players chose to leave Leeds United, because they are going to get more things.
Of course, there might be someone provoking it, maybe their family members, maybe their managers, or maybe their own desires... No matter what, they just made up their minds to leave.
Naturally, Zhong Cheng couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to send the two of them away.
Zhong Cheng stared at Martin Jol, and then said: "You can introduce them if you want, but please show your sincerity!"
Martin Jol was overjoyed, it seemed that there was something going on!
Martin Jol was really excited, he valued these two people very much. Now that they can be introduced, the Tottenham Hotspur team will be even stronger next season, and he can more easily complete the tasks assigned by the team.
However, Martin Jol didn't show it at all on the surface.
Martin Jol suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then said very calmly: "Mr. Loya, we are really sincere. We attach great importance to these two players, and we are also for the two Isn't it a sign of our sincerity that the player offered £16 million?"
Zhong Cheng was really speechless, and then said with a wry smile: "Mr. Martin? Is 16 million what you call sincerity? If that's the case, I don't think we need to talk any further!"
Martin Jol was taken aback. It seemed that Zhong Cheng hadn't seen Tottenham Hotspur's offer for these two men. He was very dissatisfied with their offer from Tottenham Hotspur.
Martin Jol suddenly became serious. To be honest, Martin Jol thinks that 16 million pounds is not low, and it can even be said to be very high.
He really didn't expect Zhong Cheng's heart to be so dark!
Martin Jol immediately said: "Mr. Loya, the price of 16 million is already very high. They are very capable, but you have to think about it, they are only eighteen or nineteen years old now, not yet twenty It’s a year old. It’s amazing to be able to sell for 16 million pounds!”
Zhong Cheng said with a faint smile: "Mr. Martin, it is precisely because they are still young that the price of 16 million pounds is low!"
Martin Jol was taken aback for a moment, this was the first time he heard such a saying? He was a little angry in his heart, Zhong Cheng didn't seem to have thought about having a serious talk.
Zhong Cheng said: "Look, they are already strong here at such a young age. They are already double champions of the Premier League and the UEFA Cup. If they are given time to grow, will they be even better? They have the strength now, And it has more potential. If it is possible, we Leeds United will sell them? In my opinion, their future is very brilliant. With this strength and this potential, how many legs do you think 16 million can buy them?"
Martin Jol raised his brows, he really didn't expect Zhong Cheng to say that.
Yes, talented players like Lennon and Milner, which club is willing to sell? More importantly, both of them have England's home international. With a local household registration book in England, this is worth a lot of money.
Martin Jol sighed, it seemed that he had thought of this matter too simply before.
Martin Jol frowned, stared at Zhong Cheng closely, and asked, "Mr. Naloya, how much money do you think is appropriate to introduce the two of them?"
Zhong Cheng said with a faint smile: "Each person is 16 million, you can pack them up and take them away!"
Martin Jol was immediately confused, he was really confused by Zhong Cheng. He really didn't expect Zhong Cheng's heart to be so big, 16 million per person, is this crazy?
Martin Jol's heart was full of anger, very angry.
Martin Joel thought that Zhong Cheng was just entertaining him, and he had no sincerity in making this deal with him.
Martin Jol didn't express his anger immediately, he took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Loya, do you really think that Lennon and the others alone can be worth 16 million pounds?"
Zhong Cheng sneered directly and said, "Of course, don't you know how much Rooney sold last year? That's two thousand or hundreds of thousands!"
Martin Jol was furious and shouted loudly: "That's Rooney, England's super hopeful star, the future king of England!"
Zhong Cheng immediately said: "That's why we didn't ask you for 20 million pounds, only 16 million pounds. So, this price is not high anymore, I think you should go back and think about it. If you can't accept it, then I will I'm sorry, you have to find a new replacement!"
Martin Jol was in a very bad mood, staring at Zhong Cheng sadly.
After a while, Martin Jol said: "Mr. Loya, can't you really be more flexible?" To be honest, Martin Jol is still unwilling to give up, he is really very optimistic about Lennon and James Milner.
Zhong Cheng said this: "I think you should go back and think about it!"
Martin Jol sighed, he really didn't expect this thing to turn out like this in the end. To be honest, he was very dissatisfied.
Martin Jol stared at Zhong Cheng closely for a while, and then said: "In this case, let's go back and think about it. Of course, Mr. Loya, you should think about it too, we Tottenham Tottenham came with a lot of sincerity. I really hope to bring in these two players."
Zhong Cheng nodded immediately, and said: "Okay, I also know what you think. Then I'll go back and think about it, so that's it for today. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Martin, we will meet later!"
Martin Jol had no choice but to get up and bid farewell to Zhong Cheng.
He was still very upset for not being able to complete the task today, and he would not be able to sleep for several days. This guy Zhong Cheng is really a tormenting little fairy!
