Chapter 292 Volume 3 Red Forest Broker (Part 1)

The fact that George Wood is worth "two trillion yuan" is just another way Tang En said about Wood's status as not for sale. Wood may not be able to reach such a value in his life, but it shows his current status in the team from one aspect. Chelsea's offer of 10 million for this newcomer has made many people see an opportunity to make money.

Before George Wood became famous, no professional agent came to him except that the players union kindly asked him whether he needed the players union to act as an agent for him and be responsible for various contract negotiations. There are countless new professional players in world football every day. If everyone has an agent to come to him, no number of agents will be enough.

There are only 170 professional football agents in England, which is already the largest number of football agents in Europe. Even so, not all professional players have a professional agent, such as George Wood.

When Wood signed with the Forest team, he didn't conduct any negotiations—he didn't know what the specific procedures should be. Anyway, the club gave him a contract, and he was very satisfied after reading it, so he signed it.

As simple as that, the Forest team took advantage of Wood's ignorance and succeeded in getting him to sign a contract with the club that now seems to be a good deal.

It's not that Tang En has thought about finding an agent for George Wood to help him manage money and help him earn more money. But the agent thing is two sides of the same coin - pros and cons.

If the rules allow the team's head coach to be the agent of the players, Twain believes that 99% of the head coaches in the world will scramble to act as agents for their players, and it is estimated that they will be in their own hands. Every coach wants to achieve the wish most. In this way, you will not be bothered by issues such as signing, renewal, and salary increase.

Unfortunately this is not allowed.

Tang En hopes that George Wood can find an excellent agent. This agent must not only have excellent work ability, but also have better character. He will not quarrel with him every day and make all kinds of unreasonable demands. Not to mention player transfers as an excuse to threaten salary increases.

But now such a broker has almost become a world heritage.

Some players became famous at a young age, but because they did not find a good agent, their talents were wasted in the days of frequent transfers and fighting against the club. There are not a few such people, such as the former main striker of the French national team and striker Nicolas Anelka who was once known as the "child prodigy".

Dunn didn't want George Wood to have such an agent. Unfortunately, as the head coach, he has no right to dictate the matter of players' selection of agents—because it would cause some unnecessary troubles and suspicions. When it comes to conflicts of interest, the head coach must avoid suspicion.

He knew that more and more people came to Wood recently, hoping to become his agent, and they seemed to see flies on a cream cake, buzzing around Wood.

Maybe Wood should be given some advice... Isn't it against the rules for the head coach to provide his own advice?

After the training, the players showered and changed in the locker room, and then they said goodbye and went home. Tang En stood at the door of the locker room. Although the players who came out felt a little strange, they still greeted him and said goodbye when they saw him. Tang En responded one by one, but he didn't hold anyone back for a chat. It was obvious that they were not what he was waiting for.

George Wood was the last one out of the locker room because he was also the last one in.

When he came out, Tang En stopped him: "George, have you had any trouble recently?"

Wood shook his head, wondering why Tang En would ask such a question.

"Uh, I mean, have you been approached by a lot of guys who call themselves agents recently?"

This time Wood nodded: "Yes, but not a lot."

Tang En didn't know whether Wood's "many" and his own "many" were the same concept, but this was not the main problem. He nodded slightly, and then asked, "What do you think of this? What do you think of those brokers?"

"I don't know. They told me a lot of things, but none of them interested me."

"What are you interested in?"

"Kick the ball."

Tang En smiled, this kid seems to like playing football.

"No, no, that's not okay." Despite this, Dunn still wanted to correct Wood's thinking that he couldn't keep up with the times, "Professional players are no longer enough to just play football. You still need to do more things. I don't mind you To be a big star, you don’t mind how many world famous brands you will endorse, and you don’t mind how much money you can make a year—this is what you deserve.”

"Isn't it the job of a professional player to play football?" Wood asked.

"Of course, their job is to play football, but that's part of the job. You're a star now, George. It's not enough to just play football... Let's put it this way, how old do you think you can play football?"

Wood thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know."

"Well, generally speaking, it's normal for a player to retire at the age of 34, but I think you can play until the age of 40." Dunn laughed, Matthaus is fine, George Wood Shouldn't be bad, right? "If you're only thinking about playing football until you retire at 40, and you don't care about anything else, I think the money you can make is very limited. After you retire at 40? What do you do for a living? Does your mother From financial sources, you will still have a wife and children to support...do you understand what I mean?"

Of course Wood understands that Twain is telling him that once he retires, he will no longer have any source of income. He will rely on his savings from playing football over the years, support his mother, and maybe have his own family by then... that way If so, how to ensure that the family can live comfortably?

"So, you should still consider finding a trustworthy agent and let him manage your finances and make more money for you, so that you won't worry about the problems just now after you retire." Dunn said his purpose out.

Wood nodded after listening: "I will consider it."

Tang En clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Go home, don't make your mother wait too long."

Seeing Wood's leaving back, Dunn heaved a sigh of relief. All that remains is to see what kind of manager Wood will find in the end... I hope the situation will not be too bad.

Wood and his mother Sophia live in an apartment north of the Wilford training base, and it only takes about 20 minutes to walk back from the base, but he rarely uses "walk", he always uses "run" - just like Sai Trot all the way before warming up.

Today, when he ran to the door of his house, he found a person standing there with the door open. His mother was talking to that person at the door. When he saw him appearing, he quickly waved and the other person turned around.

It was a man, a man who was meticulously dressed and made him feel familiar. When the other party saw him, he quickly greeted him: "Hello, Wood."

Hearing this voice, Wood remembered that it was the enthusiastic acting agent he met when he went shopping with his mother before. Could it be that he wants to find himself in some showbiz again?

"I'm not interested in showbiz." He shook his head and refused, even though the other party hadn't said anything yet.

Unexpectedly, the other party was not disappointed when he heard Wood say this, but said with a smile: "I think you have misunderstood. First of all, please allow me to introduce myself again: my name is Billy Woox (Billy_Woox) , is a professional football agent who has just obtained the qualification certificate issued by the English Football Association. I am not here to attract you to the showbiz, but I hope to be your agent in football and fully represent you in everything contractual and commercial matters."

Hearing what the other party said, Wood froze for a moment, why did his identity change?

After introducing himself, Billy Vox turned around and smiled at Sophia: "Madam, can we go inside and talk? You know, it's winter now, and the weather outside is really..."

Sophia didn't answer right away, but looked at her son. Wood thought of what Tang En said to him before he left just now. Those managers all called him, but this person came to the door in person, maybe they could talk. So he nodded.

"Please come in, Mr. Wux." Sophia opened the door and let the two of them in.

When Billy Wooks, a gentleman like man, came in, he looked at the furnishings of the house in front of him very carefully but also secretly. It was very simple, but not crude. Apart from the necessities of life, those decorations and luxuries are few. Before he came, he specifically found out about George Wood's income in the Forest team. It was 2,500 pounds per week. This is still before tax. This salary is not high...

Although the forest team is responsible for treating Wood's mother so that they don't have to spend all their salary on surgery, it is clear that the hostess of this family is used to that kind of poor life and lives very frugally.

Knowing these circumstances, Wu Kesi knew what he should say.
