Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 22
After this intra-team confrontation, both Selikini and Lazzarini were firm in their determination to recommend signing Zhang Yuan. They couldn't wait to meet the team director ****.Muttorari after training .

After learning about Zhang Yuan's overall situation in detail, Mutorari decided to go to see Zhang Yuan's trial training in the team the next day. To be honest, the big club may have listened to the recommendation of the youth coaches and scouts. He signed it as soon as he said it, but a small club like Rimini has to calculate every money carefully, even a free agent like Zhang Yuan, he must observe it for himself!
On the second day, accompanied by Celikini and Lazzarini, Mutorari watched Zhang Yuan's performance in training and group confrontation.Today's Zhang Yuan's performance is still very good, fully demonstrating his own advantages, although he did not score like yesterday, but he contributed three assists and completed a hat-trick of assists. It is not that Zhang Yuan does not want to score, he also I want to score goals, but yesterday's comprehension made him feel that it is important to win the support and trust of his teammates, so that people are willing to pass the ball to him. Who wouldn't like a teammate who is impartial and selfless? !This is conducive to his performance, so he chose to pass the ball several times.

Celikini found it very strange. Zhang Yuan was in a good position. He could choose to shoot but chose to pass the ball. It was a waste of opportunities. It seems that this kid still has some shortcomings in the timing of shooting. How could he know? What is Zhang Yuan thinking? !
But even without scoring, this performance has already touched Mutorari's heart. He feels that this Chinese boy has speed, strong dribbling ability, good teamwork awareness and excellent running ability just as Serikini commented. , has shown considerable potential and is very worth signing.

Mutorari intends to talk directly to the Chinese boy's agent, Mo Luo. Of course he knows that Mo Luo is not qualified as a football agent, but he doesn't know how deep the private relationship between Mo Luo and Zhang Yuan is. Without a football agent, he can choose to talk directly with Zhang Yuan, but in this situation, he is unwilling to risk losing Zhang Yuan, so he chooses to talk to Morrow, who has no football agent qualifications at all.

After the training, he invited Moro and Zhang Yuan to his office, and straight to the point, he told Moro that the Rimini club had a certain interest in Zhang Yuan and that he was willing to sign Zhang Yuan. Of course he would not kill him. In fact, he very much hopes to sign Zhang Yuan. This is a negotiation strategy. He has learned from Lazzarini that this Mr. Moro has led Zhang Yuan to bump into walls, and none of the previous interview clubs are willing to sign. Next Zhang Yuan.

Then Moro told him directly that Zhang Yuan is a free agent, and signing him is very cost-effective. The signing fee, salary and so on will be paid, but the only one who insists on the intermediary who said that the minimum cost is 5 euros fee.

Although Zhang Yuan has considerable potential, this is the unanimous opinion of Mutorari, Celikini and Lazzarini, but the agency fee of 5 euros is what Mutorari is unwilling to accept. He thinks it is too much. There are too many. First of all, Zhang Yuan cannot sign a professional contract when he is under 18 years old. He can only sign a youth contract. This kind of contract is not protected. They have no way to stop the fee they are satisfied with. Secondly, Zhang Yuan is not famous. Although there is no transfer fee or anything, the matching agency fee of 5 euros is too much!As for the signing fee and salary, it is impossible. If you want not to be poached by others, the signing fee and salary of the youth contract must be paid less, otherwise Zhang Yuan will be separated from the team at that time, and everyone It is easier for clubs to poach corners.

Where the two sides bargained, Zhang Yuan was not shy away from it, because Zhang Yuan could not understand what they were talking about at all, and only knew that this negotiation must be about his signing of the contract.In the end, it was Morrow who didn't hold on. He wanted to get rid of Zhang Yuan too much. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement on the general direction, an agency fee of 3 euros, a signing fee of 2 euros, and a weekly salary of 200 euros, of course after tax.The signing fee and weekly salary are nothing in the giants, but for a small club like Rimini, the signing fee and weekly salary are the highest among the young players of the Rimini club. No young player has such a high salary, which shows that In fact, Mutorari is still very optimistic about Zhang Yuan.

When Mo Luo explained the negotiation results to Zhang Yuan, he talked about the specific situation, but he deliberately omitted the signing fee of 2 euros. He planned to keep the signing fee of [-] euros for himself. No, why am I putting in so much effort? He doesn't even think about what Zhang Yuan will do to him when he understands the contract.

In this way, the negotiation between the two parties was successful. In the afternoon, accompanied by Moro, Zhang Yuan signed the first contract with the Rimini club represented by Mutorari. There was no news media, no flowers and no applause.

Afterwards, the staff of the club were responsible for arranging Zhang Yuan's life. After all, Zhang Yuan came from far away China, did not understand Italian, and did not understand the local life.The club arranged a dormitory for the youth players near the training base, but it was already full, so the staff could only think of a new way, and finally put their ideas on a few players who came on loan. Loaned Slovenian goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, loaned Italian striker Alessandro Matri from AC Milan, renewed the loan of Brazilian central defender Digan from AC Milan, the club rented out for them There is a house with four rooms, and it is just right for Zhang Yuan to live in it now.But the premise of all this must be the consent of the three players, but fortunately, when the first team training is over, the staff finds them to explain the situation, and all three agree to the addition of the new roommate. For them, it is a loan after all. It’s not staying at the Rimini club for a long time. Everyone doesn’t bring much, and they’re all in their early 20s, unmarried, and the house is relatively spacious. It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad to live in one more person. Anyway, there are three people now. There is not much difference between being able to live with four people. One more person may be more fun. Secondly, I heard that the roommate is a Chinese kid. They are all very interested. The mysterious oriental visitor makes them very curious!

In the evening, with the help of the staff and Mo Luo, Zhang Yuan took his bag and moved into his temporary home. The three roommates stared at Zhang Yuan like curious babies. Of course, they also took the initiative to help Zhang Yuan clean up the room, and got Zhang Yuan smiled gratefully.

After settling in Zhang Yuan's room, Mo Luo and the staff of the club left, and there were only three men living together and a Chinese boy left in the living room. A big man introduced himself.

"Hi, everyone, my name is Zhang Yuan, from China, please take care of me!"

The three men still knew a little English, so they also introduced each other. After the introduction, the three men really wanted to ask about Zhang Yuan's situation, but unfortunately the language barrier between the two parties was true. There is a Chinese saying in Zhang Yuan's English that is dumb. English, can write but can’t speak, it sounds like the three men’s English is quite difficult, so that everyone is not interested in further communication, there is a TV in the living room, but Zhang Yuan can’t understand, he can only choose to wash and go back to his own room to sleep.

When he first arrived in a strange environment, besides, he went to bed too early. Going to bed after [-] o’clock was completely inconsistent with his usual schedule, so he took out his computer and prepared to surf the Internet for a while. Before going abroad, his sister dragged him to the computer. I bought a laptop in the city, mainly for the convenience of QQ contact messages. After all, overseas long-distance calls are very expensive. In addition, before leaving, my sister gave him [-] in cash. When he came to Italy, he had already exchanged it into euros.

As for my sister, I haven’t left a message since I reported my safety once I came to Italy. The main reason is that the previous situation is really not good, and he doesn’t want to worry my sister and her family.As for Gu Lin, I left two messages, one was when I came to Italy for the first time to report safety, and the other was after the Atlanta trial failed. Gu Lin is his good friend, and he needs to talk about something in his heart. Gu Lin is his first choice. choose.

Now that the matter is settled, he should naturally report the situation to his sister and his family, so as not to worry that there will be any accidents if there is no letter for such a long time.When he opened QQ, his sister's and Gu Lin's avatars were flashing at the same time. He clicked to open his sister's QQ message, which contained messages from the past few days, all of which were messages asking about his situation. How is it?" "Yuan baby, did you see the message, why didn't you reply to me?" "Yuan baby, please take the time to reply me, we are very worried about you!"

Looking at his sister's message, Zhang Yuan scolded himself, no matter whether it went well or not, he should tell his family the situation as soon as possible, otherwise it would be bad for them to worry, and his sister's message became more and more anxious. Got it wrong.Cleaning up his mood, he began to reply to his sister, "Sister, how are you doing recently? It has been a long time since I came to Italy, and I have been busy going to various clubs for trial training with Moro, so I don't have time to leave you a message, which makes you worry I'm sorry. I'm in good condition and I'm in good health. I don't have any discomfort. I just signed a contract with Rimini Football Club today! This is a football club located in Rimini, a seaside city in central Italy. Due to my age, I guess I can only play for the youth team now, and wait two years before I can play for the senior team! But you don’t have to worry, I believe that as long as I work hard, it may not take two years You can play in Serie B, or even Serie A, then you can see me in the game! The people here are very friendly, now I live with three other teammates, they are very enthusiastic and help me After everything has been settled, you don’t need to worry about my inability to live alone in a foreign country! Well, the general situation is like this, report to your parents that you are safe, and say hello to Brother Li for me!”

After replying to his sister, he clicked on Gu Lin's message. Gu Lin's message was a message of encouragement. He looked at it and smiled. It was really like what Gu Lin said, after all, a club still took a fancy to him!

"Gu Lin, thank you for your encouragement and support! Today I tell you good news. I officially signed with Rimini Football Club and I will be a professional player from now on! Although this is a Serie B football club, But I took the first step after all, didn’t I?! Now I think the most troublesome thing is the language barrier. I can’t understand a word of Italian, and I can’t communicate with my teammates or roommates. Although I can speak English, But you know that my English is not good enough to communicate. I will have all kinds of inconveniences in life, training and competitions! I will discuss this matter with Morrow and see what to do next! This The trial training of running around for a period of time taught me a deep lesson. I used to pay attention to personal performance, but I repeatedly encountered obstacles in Italy. Now I finally understand that no matter how strong an individual is, he will not succeed without the help of his teammates. I owe my victory to having you by my side, and I am often complacent that I play football very well! I still have many shortcomings, such as physical fitness, heading skills, understanding of the game, etc. I think I have officially become a team player now. I am a professional player, I hope to improve with the help of the coach and play in the first team sooner!"
