The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 57 The Tower of God
There is a widely circulated saying in the field of scouting, watching a genius play football, you can recognize him in 3 minutes!

It is difficult for anyone to understand the meaning of this sentence if they have not seen it with their own eyes.

Football is a sport with very few goals. Every goal seems to be the result of a combination of countless factors. Any deviation in any of these factors may cause the shot to miss the goal frame.

Therefore, when scouts inspect a player, especially a striker, it is impossible to use his scoring or not as a criterion for judging, but there is indeed such a type of striker who can make You can tell at a glance that he is a genius, just like the player Ye Qiu is investigating at this moment.

Since Malmö was relegated to Solna from the Swedish Super League last season, his performance in the Swedish Bundesliga has fluctuated a lot this season. After the integration of the original Division I with 14 teams in the south and the north into the Division I with 16 teams, the competition became more intense. After 10 rounds of competition, Malmö ranked first midstream.

Sweden's winter is icy and snowy, so their league games are generally from April to November, so in June, it is officially a critical moment for all teams to enter their state.

Malmö is no exception.

When the game progressed to the 27th minute, I saw Malmö's Danish midfielder Pete Sorensen pass the ball into the penalty area of ​​the opponent Ottveda Castle. Teammates respond.

A tall man wearing a No. 18 jersey used his body to support the tall defensive player behind him. With his right foot facing the incoming ball, he stopped the ball to his left with a deft movement of stopping the ball. Then, after pressing the defensive player with his body, he turned around calmly, raised his right foot high, and volleyed vigorously.

The ball immediately shot out from his feet like a cannonball, and entered the goal with lightning speed.

"Zlatan! Zlatan!! Super Zlatan!!!"

All the Malmö fans stood up from their seats, shouted loudly, cheered for the 18-year-old Swedish teenager, and applauded his wonderful goal.

Ye Qiu was sitting in the stands and witnessed Zlatan Ibrahimovic's wonderful goal, and he had to give him applause.

Brilliant, hearty, but...

"How is it, Roland?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Roland was sitting next to Ye Qiu, staring at him in a daze. He shook his head when he heard Ye Qiu's question, "Oh my God, his body is too strong and dexterous, so tall, and Not bad for being so strong and nimble!"

"I'm talking about working with your feet!" Ye Qiu scolded with a smile.

Roland smiled and was amazed, "It's rare for a big man to have such a job on his feet."

Ye Qiu thought inwardly, of course, the person Wenger has his eye on, how can he be bad?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is already well-known now. He went to Arsenal for trial training in 97, but broke up badly. He also went to Ligue [-], Serie A and other teams for trial training, but in the end he failed. It was left behind by Malmö, who had a rare commodity to live in, until now.

This season, Malmö has been relegated to the first division, which happens to give Zlatan Ibrahimovic the opportunity to play the main force, and the Swedish big man performed well, scoring 10 goals and 4 assists in the first 2 rounds. Not bad for an 18-year-old rookie.

"Strictly speaking, that pass just now is not an absolute chance to score!" Ye Qiu commented on Ibrahimovic's goal just now, "Sorensen passed the ball, and Ibrahimovic's shooting angle was blocked at that time, but he However, he stopped the ball to the left, suppressed the opponent's central defender with his body, turned around successfully, and then without any adjustments, he swung his right leg and hit the ball.

After staying in Ajax's youth training camp for a year, Ye Qiu's observation of players is also very meticulous.

"However, this player's personality is too ostentatious. After turning around, he deliberately swung his legs a lot, and deliberately shot such a strong shot. It looks cool and pleasing to the fans. The central defender's pressing defense, this shot will never have a chance!"

If you study the shooting movements of Van Nistelrooy and Van Basten carefully, it is not difficult to find that they swing their legs very small, but they can shoot quickly with a small swing of their legs. It's important to say.

To put it bluntly, the longer it takes to swing your legs, the longer the opponent will have to defend, and the greater the risk.

Roland looked at Ye Qiu in disbelief, and suddenly felt that he didn't know Ye Qiu a little bit.

From a simple shooting action, he was able to figure out the character of this player, and also gave a way to correct him. From these details, he could easily see Ye Qiu's progress, and this also made Roland feel a sense of crisis. , because he knew that if Ye Qiu kept making progress while he was standing still, he would be eliminated sooner or later.

"What are you looking at me for?" Ye Qiu was a little hairy when Roland stared at him.

Roland smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, I just think that what you say now is very logical."

Ye Qiu himself didn't feel this way, and he didn't care, "I heard that he trusts Hass Borg very much!"

Haas Borg is the general manager of Malmo and also the agent of Malmo players.

"Then he's going to suffer a lot!" Roland shook his head and smiled wryly.

There are some things that Ajax can't intervene, such as Ibrahimovic and Haas Borg.

Long before the game, Ye Qiu found Hass Borg. After a series of negotiations, the final price was determined at 300 million euros, which was higher than Ye Qiu's previous estimate, but Ajax Not at a disadvantage.

The introduction of a player is a bit like buying a car and paying for the car. It is just the beginning, and maintaining a car also costs money.

The same is true for players. The transfer fee is equivalent to buying a car, but there are salaries and bonuses next to it.

Therefore, when every club introduces players, in addition to calculating the transfer fee, the salary must also be included. This is the cost calculation of introducing a player.

According to the traditional practice of all European teams, assuming that the cost of signing a team is fixed, the higher the player's transfer fee, the lower the salary, and the higher the salary, the lower the transfer fee. The most typical example is This is the reason why free transfer players can often get high salaries.

Ye Qiu remembered very clearly that in the previous life Real Madrid introduced Di Maria, the transfer fee was very high, but Di Maria's salary was very low. What is the reason?It is because Mendes can get a generous commission from the transfer fee!

Today, Hass Borg is doing the same thing!

During the negotiation with Ajax, Haas Borg stated that his players do not want high salaries, only Ajax's lowest salary, which is a weekly salary of 3500 euros, but he wants to ask for a higher transfer fee, In the end, it reached 300 million euros.

Ajax has no way to intervene in this matter, because Haas Borg has the right to represent Zlatan Ibrahimovic, unless Ajax does not introduce this player, otherwise, it will only Can talk to Hass Borg.

In the end, Ye Qiu agreed to Haas Berger's request and brought in Ibrahimovic at a price of 300 million euros.

This is really quite high for a player in the Swedish second-tier league team, but for Ajax, it is no different, because the contract lasts for 4 years, which is equivalent to a small amount of money. The lost salary is transferred to the transfer fee.

The neutral Ajax did not suffer, Haas Borg made a lot of money, and Ibrahimovic suffered a big loss!
"Then let him suffer once, and treat it as a lesson!" Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed.

The reason why Zlatan Ibrahimovic transferred to Ajax in the previous life was so high, on the one hand, because he entered the national team, and on the other hand, Wenger pursued him for the second time in early 2001. A very important aspect is that Haas Borg deliberately lowered his salary and raised his transfer fee.

The more this happened, the more Ye Qiu felt that many managers were really short-sighted. I'm afraid Hass Berger is now talking about taking advantage of himself, but he never thought that he missed a fortune. Godsend opportunity.

…………

Many people say that brokers are robbers. The difference is that some people steal well. When things are done well, they will take what is theirs and not others. But some people are like bandits, whether it is their own or not. , he wants it anyway.

Anyone who has done business with Has Borg knows that he is the latter, but he is very good at disguising himself as the former.

As early as 1997, when Zlatan Ibrahimovic had just become famous, Haas Borg decided to sell him. At that time, he found four or five teams in the five major leagues, the most famous of which was Arsenal, but these teams either offered too low a price or asked for trial training. In the end, he refused to agree to one of them and brought the players back to Malmo.

Trial?Do not make jokes!
The players in Sweden are under his control. What he says, the players believe and do. But once they get in touch with the outside world and understand the European football environment, who will believe him?

In Haas Berg's view, Ibrahimovic is just a silly boy from an immigrant family from Rosengard. Even better, this silly boy's parents are divorced and he has not invested in him. Too much concern is to allow Haas Borg to do whatever he wants.

Becoming a close friend of Ibrahimovic, or even a family member who cares about him, this is one of Hass Borg's means of dealing with players. At least as early as 97, Ibrahimovic, who had already agreed to Wenger's trial training invitation, It was because of his words that he finally regretted it.

Three years later, Ibrahimovic played the main force in Malmö and performed well. However, due to the lack of reputation in the Swedish First Division in Europe, this tall and handsome Swedish tower did not attract the attention of mainstream European leagues.

So, when Ye Qiu approached on behalf of Ajax, Has Berg knew that the opportunity had come.

300 million US dollars, he finally negotiated the price with Ye Qiu, and the two parties signed an agreement.

Now, looking at the kid in front of him staring at the salary contract, his adrenal glands were pumping with excitement, he smiled kindly.

"I talked to them for a long time, I learned a lot about Ajax, and I asked my friend in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to understand the current situation of Ajax, and finally I was sure, Zlatan, they I really need you!"

Those who don't know will definitely be moved by Hass Berg's words, thinking that he is a kind elder who is full of responsibility and takes care of the younger generation, and this is indeed what he has said in the past few years. established image.

"Really?" Ibrahimovic laughed.

"Look at the transfer price, 300 million euros, my Zlatan, you are the most expensive transfer from Ajax so far this year, if they are not optimistic, they will offer you such a high price ?”

"Hey, thank you, Uncle Haas!" Ibrahimovic was very grateful.

"Look at the bottom again, this is your salary!" Haas Borg pointed to the bottom of the contract, which clearly stated that the weekly salary before tax was 3500 euros, which made Ibrahimovic stare. eyes.

"Oh my God!" he exclaimed, "this... this salary is 4 times what I am now making!"

Haas Borg nodded with a smile, "Yes, my Zlatan, I managed to get this price for you, which is considered very high in the Ajax team, and I have been I know your thoughts, so as long as you pick up a pen and sign your name here, then, when you arrive in Amsterdam, you will get a signing fee..."

Ibrahimovic raised his head and looked at Hass Borg expectantly, his eyes full of eager hope.

Haas Berger knew the mind of the child in front of him very well, and smiled, "...a Mercedes!"

"Oh yeah, Mercedes!!!" Ibrahimovic cheered loudly.

Hass Borg looked at Ibrahimovic and sneered inwardly. A country boy who has never seen the world is so deceitful!
"Okay, my Zlatan, for your monthly salary of more than [-] euros, for your Mercedes-Benz, come on!" He put a pen heavily in front of Ibrahimovic.

The latter looked at Hass Borg, and after getting Hass Borg's nod, he seemed to be encouraged, picked up the pen, and signed directly on this contract that he might not even see the terms clearly own name.

"Thank you, Uncle Haas, I really thank you very much!" Ibrahimovic said very moved.

"Don't thank me, Zlatan, this is what you deserve. When you arrive in Amsterdam, remember to perform well and work hard to play your own world in Ajax. I will be proud of you in Sweden!"

Ibrahimovic walked over, hugged Haas Borg heavily, and left the office of the general manager of Malmö.

Along the way, he was thinking about Ajax, thinking about the upcoming Eredivisie league, thinking about a lot, and he imagined that if he could really become a successful professional player in the future, he must Come to thank Uncle Haas, because without him, there would be no trip to Ajax today.

After leaving the club office, Ibrahimovic took out his mobile phone, pressed a few numbers and dialed out.

He wanted to convey the gratifying good news to his parents, but before the call failed, he pressed it off again.

From childhood to adulthood, he has lived almost alone, taking care of himself and being with football as a companion. His mother is very busy and rarely comes to see him in games and training, and his father has never watched him in games, and even training is very difficult. To put it mildly, he is a poor man who is still living in the war, relying on alcohol to anesthetize himself.

Finally, Ibrahimovic put the phone back into his pocket and sighed softly.

It is also a very pitiful thing to encounter something worthy of joy, but no one can share it with him.

Just when Ibrahimovic was depressed, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

When I took it out, it was a text message from an unfamiliar number.

"A goal, great performance, but I think you can do better, especially in a lot of details!" The signature at the bottom of the text message is [YEQIU], which makes Ibrahimo Wei Qi was taken aback for a moment, then thought of it.

Isn't Ajax's new head coach named Ye Qiu?
"So he came to watch my game!" Zlatan Ibrahimovic chuckled, the feeling of being valued immediately surrounded his whole body, he thought for a while, and then replied, "I think I've done a good job." Great, what do you think, Mr. Coach?"

Just as Ibrahimovic was about to put down his phone, a message was sent over there immediately.

"There is a kind of person who always pretends to be arrogant and confident in front of others, in order not to show timidity. This is not a good habit, Zlatan!"

When Ibrahimovic saw this text message, he was stunned.

His reputation in Malmo can be described as mixed. Some people say he is arrogant, some people say he is talented, but no one has ever been able to care about him carefully and understand him, but Ye Qiu's words seem to be aimed at his superiors. One sentence, but it also reveals his understanding and familiarity with him.

This made Ibrahimovic suddenly feel a sense of fear.

A person who has lived alone for more than ten years and has always relied on arrogance to protect himself, once he finds out that he has been seen through, he will easily become timid and afraid.

"I hope to be able to talk to you in Amsterdam soon!"

"Why?" Ibrahimovic hesitated and sent a text message.

"I believe that any head coach hopes to understand his players and tailor tactics for them so that they can play to their strengths, and you are my player!"

One sentence warmed Ibrahimovic's heart again, but he soon developed a heart of resistance.

"I still have something to do, but I promise to go to the training camp on time!"

"Whatever, just call me if you need anything!"

Looking at the phone, Ibrahimovic stared blankly for a while, but the text messages stopped coming. Apparently, Ye Qiu on the other side of the phone had stopped sending text messages. He should be going to the airport now, returning to Amsterdam, right?
It wasn't long after the game ended, if Ye Qiu came to watch the game, he should go back now, this is Ibrahimovic's guess.

Thinking of Ye Qiu, for some reason, Ibrahimovic remembered the words just now, and he had the feeling that Ye Qiu had figured it out, which made him very uncomfortable and uncomfortable, but also a little scared.

"In the end, what kind of person are you?" Ibrahimovic guessed anxiously.
