126 Partial student month
After the game, the players walked back to the locker room in groups of three or three.
However, Yang Yang met his big-bellied agent Mino Raiola at the corner of the player's passage.
"Hey, Yang, your performance tonight is really great, it's so wonderful!"
As soon as Raiola saw Yang Yang, she immediately laughed and opened her arms to meet him, hugging Yang Yang with force.
"I tell you, just for your game tonight, I promise that I will definitely be on the important pages of major European media tomorrow, which will attract huge attention from fans around the world. Your value will increase by at least 5 million euros."
Yang Yang was also surprised to see Raiola. When he heard him mention his value, he couldn't help but remind him again, "I have no plans to leave Ajax for the time being."
"I know, I know, my value is, of course, the higher the better. Don't worry, I will never do what you don't want to do. My existence is to serve you, solve all your worries, and let you play football with peace of mind."
After hearing Raiola's promise, Yang Yang thanked him with confidence.
Ibrahimovic, who had been standing by the side all the way, kept looking at Raiola, but when he saw the Italian agent always focus on Yang Yang, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"I said, Mino, aren't you going to say something to me?" the Swedish center asked.
"What did you say?" Raiola pretended to be stupid.
"I scored twice, twice, and the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, the opponent was Arsenal, I scored twice." Ibrahimovic kept making gestures in front of Raiola. Looking at his expectant expression, it seemed like he was saying, "I scored twice, it's amazing, please praise me quickly!
But unexpectedly, Raiola curled her lips, "You two goals were planned by Yang Yang, one direct assist and one indirect assist. You are just lucky and got a bargain in front of the goal. Do you think there is anything worth praising?"
The Swedish center was like being poured from the head by a bucket of cold water, almost going crazy, "But I also assisted him."
"Please, that's Yang Yang's shot is good, and he can score even a ball of such a high difficulty."
"But I'm the best player in the game."
"So, I feel aggrieved for Yang Yang. He should be the one who performed the best in the audience. The judges didn't know if they took the wrong medicine."
Ibrahimovic pointed at Raiola with aggrieved look on his face, and looked at Yang Yang who was innocently caught fire next to him. He finally couldn't stand it and left the two men who made him sad.
Looking at the Swedish center forward's departure, Yang Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Do you need to hit him like this?"
"You know his character, you can't praise him, he can just show off his tail when he praises him. He just performs well. The key is the next game, or even the next game. He should try hard to maintain this state." Raiola said seriously.
Yang Yang nodded, Raiola's analysis was not wrong at all.
Ibrahimovic's intention to transfer has been revealed, and Ajax's intention to let people go is very clear. What the Swedish center needs to do the most now is to try to show his best side, so that more giants can pay him a higher price, and at the same time, they also gain a better position for themselves in the new team in the future.
Not only him, but Trabelsey and Van der Fate are both. It is said that their contracts have additional terms. Ajax will support them in the four major leagues this summer, but the premise is that there must be clubs willing to pay their transfer fees.
"By the way, I'll leave soon. Van Gaal will definitely come to you when he turns around. If you ask about the contract, you just need to say you don't know."
Yang Yang frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Negotiation strategy." A sly smile appeared on Raiola's chubby round face. "In short, it is what I told you before. Even if you concentrate on the competition, you will leave all other things to me. I promise to let Ajax sign a contract with you that you didn't dare to think about before, and let them do their best to focus on cultivating you."
Yang Yang thought about it and didn't understand the negotiations with the club, but he thought that Raiola would not be aimless and had no effect on him, so he nodded and agreed.
…………
…………
Sure enough, Raiola was right at all.
When the team returned to DeTok Most from the Athletic Amsterdam Stadium, technical director Van Gaal also chased after him.
Although he affirmed everyone's performance on behalf of the club before the team was disbanded and hoped that everyone would continue to work hard, his real goal was Yang Yang.
When the two walked to a secluded place to communicate in private, the first thing he did was to ask Raiola.
"I heard from the staff that he is here to watch your game tonight?" Van Gaal asked with concern.
"Yeah." Yang Yang nodded, "I met at the player's passage after the game, but he said there was something urgent and he left immediately."
Van Gaal frowned. He really had the urge to peel and cramp for Raiola now.
This damn vampire has obviously come to Amsterdam, but he doesn't even see him. He deliberately avoids him, obviously trying to raise the price.
"Have he ever mentioned renewal to you?" Van Gaal asked again.
"No." Yang Yang shook his head, "He just let me focus on the game."
This surprised Van Gaal. Unexpectedly, Raiola said this to Yang Yang. It seems that Yang Yang doesn't know much about the negotiations for renewal.
The European Professional League has been developing for decades, and has developed extremely professionally in all walks of life and positions. Even agents have very clear professional boundaries. They are just dependent on players to survive. Even some top agents, the difference is that the players they depend on are different.
Raiola's position in the agent industry is probably in the middle and upper reaches, at most, because he has not many stars so far. Nedved is the biggest star now, but in Ajax, he has four players, namely Ibrahimovic, Maxwell, Yang Yang and Fermuren.
To some extent, Raiola is still very influential in Ajax.
Players, fans and clubs have the same direction on the football field, but they are full of conflicts of interest inside.
What fans are most willing to see is that players willingly let the mercy of the clubs they support. If they play well, they should stay in the team unconditionally. Don’t make trouble for the increase in salary and renewal of contracts and transfers. If they play poorly, they should get out of here.
The club is also not a good person. They also have their own business pressure and are trying to squeeze players. If they can, they will never raise their salary, which is no different from the boss of a company.
Relatively speaking, players are at a disadvantage. On the one hand, they are generally not well educated and only know how to play football. On the other hand, they need to concentrate on playing football games and have no free time to deal with some off-court things, so they need a smart agent.
After several contacts, coupled with Van Gaal's long observation, Raiola is a very responsible agent for players and knows how to consider the interests of his employer. Therefore, as Yang Yang's friend, he is very relieved about Raiola.
But as Ajax's technical director, he is as big as a fight.
"What's wrong?" Yang Yang asked with concern when he heard Van Gaal sigh.
Van Gaal thought for a while and shook his head, "It's nothing, he's right. Just concentrate on the game. We'll handle other things."
He finally decided not to drag Yang Yang into the negotiation and transfer dispute. First, it did not conform to the rules, and secondly, it was easy to distract Yang Yang, although he knew that as long as he spoke, Yang Yang would definitely come forward.
"By the way, you performed very well in this game tonight, especially the left-foot cross that Ibrahimovic was very surprising in the end." Van Gaal changed the subject and laughed.
Speaking of the competition, Yang Yang also laughed, "Thanks to you who told me before that I asked me to practice my left foot more, I never dared to forget it, and I have been training hard."
Van Gaal nodded, he was relieved by one thousand percent of Yang Yang's diligence and hard work.
A person who can self-discipline and perform boring basic training for a long time must have an extremely strong heart, very amazing self-discipline ability, and very clear goals.
Such a player will definitely succeed.
"You must not be blinded by the achievements you have made now. You must know that you are still a subject-oriented student, and you are a very serious subject-oriented student. There are two reasons for your outstanding performance now. One is that the other party is not familiar with you and does not understand you. The second is that the team uses you well according to your characteristics and plays your advantages."
"I know." Yang Yang nodded.
He became more and more convinced of Van Gaal's vision.
"Next, you should continue to maintain your current development momentum and focus on doing two things."
"You said." Yang Yang was very happy to get Van Gaal's tip.
"First of all, you have to continue to polish and improve your current advantages. This is the basis for your foothold in the first team and will also be the foundation for your foothold in the professional league in the next few years. Not only can you not lose it, but you also need to continue to study it carefully."
Yang Yang nodded. Whether it was him or Lao Bing in the super training ground, he thought so.
"While doing this well, you need to make up for your shortcomings as soon as possible. Stopping is very important, especially as the game platform continues to improve, this will increasingly reveal your shortcomings. The opponent will take strict control of you and will conduct in-depth research and restrain you."
"The other one is the change in rhythm. I think you lack change in rhythm whether you are driving at high speed or at other times. This is not a good phenomenon for an offensive player. You should try to work hard on this."
Yang Yang admired Van Gaal's eyes very much and nodded heavily.
"You must remember that for a 17-year-old young man, one move is a good thing, but if you want to move forward and to a higher platform to prove yourself, you must make yourself more comprehensive and make it more difficult for your opponent to curb you."
"As you grow older, as your fame improves, and as your status in the team continues to improve, you will find that everyone around you will have higher requirements for you and their expectations for you will be greater and greater. No one will measure you by the 17-year-old standard when you are twenty years old, and you can only keep moving forward."
Yang Yang understood that what Van Gaal said in Chinese is that learning is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.
The technical director didn't say much. After a few words of earnest reminders, he patted Yang Yang's shoulder with encouragement and turned around and left.
