Chapter 62 Showdown
Because his authority was provoked, Mourinho, who was somewhat angry, decided to defend his authority.
He leaned forward and narrowed his eyes: "Young man, I have seen many young people like you, even more talented than you, and even younger. It seems that they have a bright future. Countless famous coaches have praised them and looked forward to them, but in the end they failed. Do you know why?"
Chu Zhongtian did not ask stupidly: "Why?"
He knew that Mourinho didn't expect him to answer at all, so he would definitely continue.
Sure enough, Mourinho just paused for a moment and continued to say it.
"Patient. You lack patience." Mourinho spread his hands.
Chu Zhongtian felt that Mourinho was completely nonsense, and he didn't understand himself at all. "No, I don't feel that I'm impatient. Mr. Mourinho. On the contrary, I think I'm patient enough. If I were only sixteen now, I think I would continue to wait patiently, but I'm twenty-one now."
"I think it's necessary to wait until the age of twenty-five before the right opportunity arises." Mourinho said.
"Going to Metz is a very suitable opportunity, Mr. Mourinho." Chu Zhongtian refused to let go.
It is related to his future, and he will not give his destiny to others. Even if that person is the champion coach, he claims that he is the greatest besides God. But everyone should be his own God, and everyone should make their own decisions on their own path, and should not be left to others to point fingers.
No matter what Mourinho said, he would not stick to his own ideas.
"I don't think letting you go is a good decision."
"I don't think it's a good decision to stay at Chelsea," Mourinho."
Since he became famous, Mourinho has never encountered anyone who dared to talk to him in front of him like this. Even those rampant journalists have to restrain themselves when facing him. Chelsea has so many big-name stars, and he is now being punished by him, let alone the group of boys in the reserve team.
And what is this person in front of me? An amateur player who couldn't even play in Chelsea. If it weren't for Chelsea, he might still play in the amateur league! But he dared to speak to himself like this.
His eyes turned cold.
Mourinho stopped talking, but Chu Zhongtian couldn't spend time here. What if half an hour came and he saw the guests directly, what should he do? The matter has not been explained clearly yet. Should I make an appointment again? Looking at the atmosphere today, Chu Zhongtian felt it would be difficult to make an appointment again.
"I am very grateful to Chelsea for giving me the opportunity to loan Mets, but at present I think Mets is more suitable for me than Chelsea. I need a stable playing environment, so I hope to transfer to Mets. If Chelsea still needs me in the future, I am willing to play for the team." Chu Zhongtian knew that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he had to say something nicer.
Of course Mourinho knew that Chu Zhongtian's words were nonsense and had no practical meaning at all. "Chelsea still needs me in the future"? Who knows what will happen in the future? And even if Chelsea really needs you in the future, will you definitely come?
Mourinho doesn't believe that Chelsea can have such great charm. It would be almost the same if he has such great charm.
"I repeat, Chu. The team doesn't want you to transfer, we can loan you to Mess."
"But it's useless to force me to stay, Mr. Mourinho. I didn't have the chance to play for Chelsea. Instead of waiting for the contract to expire and let me go for free, it's better to use me to earn some transfer fee when there are still people to ask for it. I know Chelsea doesn't look down on that little money, but when I joined the team it was free."
In fact, several clubs from Ligue 1 or even French Ligue 2 have indeed come to ask Chelsea whether they are willing to sell Chu Zhongtian in the past few days.
At that time, these messages further strengthened Mourinho's determination to keep Chu Zhongtian.
But today, after suddenly seeing the tough attitude of the players, Mourinho felt that he was really a bit... losing his identity. Who is he? He is the coach who led the team to win the League Cup, Champions League, Premier League, and Portuguese Premier League championship. Why should he lower his posture for an ordinary first-team player and hope he stays?
My Mourinho's team has never been able to do it without someone, not to mention that the person I lack has no contribution to the team.
Thinking of this, Mourinho also felt that it was meaningless to fight with a young boy. If he wanted to leave, let him go. If he didn't do well, he would sooner or later know who was right and who was wrong.
He has seen many talented and talented players, but in the end none of them have made their mark for one reason or another. Will this stubborn Chinese boy in front of him become one of them? Anyway, he thinks that Chu Zhongtian has potential, but having potential does not mean having a bright future. Now having potential, who knows if he can finally dig it out? If he can't dig it out, no matter how much potential it has, it will be zero. Since he is so impatient, he will probably not be very likely to be able to play out in the future.
There are many players of his level in the world football world, and many people do not need troublesome labor certificates, which is much more convenient than him. If he lets go, he will be let go, it is no big deal.
Mourinho waved his hand: "Okay, the club will accept any offer about you. Choose where you want to go. Good luck, boy."
After saying that, he ignored Chu Zhongtian, who was a little happy.
Chu Zhongtian suppressed his inner excitement and smiled and bowed to Mourinho to thank him: "Thank you, Mr. Mourinho!"
Then he said goodbye.
When I went out, I saw the agent James Merry who had been waiting outside the door.
Meili saw the smile on Chu Zhongtian's face and asked, "Has the agreement been completed?"
Chu Zhongtian nodded vigorously: "Murinho nodded! As long as Metz bid, it's fine! If there are other clubs, don't contact us, we will only talk to Metz!"
When he walked out of Stamford Bridge, Chu Zhongtian looked back at the stadium. He had only come in four times for this world-renowned stadium.
He came here for the first time and represented Wimbledon in athletic defeat to the arrogant Chelsea.
The second time he came here was to sign his first professional contract with Chelsea, officially becoming a professional player and a Chelsea player.
The third time he came here was to watch a Premier League game. At that time, he swore in his heart that the next time he came here, he would play here as his master.
Unexpectedly, the fourth time he came here, he actually left with Chelsea.
Things in the world are impermanent.
Looking at the stadium in front of him, Chu Zhongtian was not nostalgic at all. Because he knew that he had abandoned a tree and turned around and saw a whole dense forest.
He firmly believes that he has made the right choice on the road of life.
Get rid of Chelsea's seemingly beautiful quagmire and embark on a solid road.
Go forward, Chu Zhongtian!
He turned around and walked towards the parking lot with Mr. Merry.
※※※Ribary just returned to Metz and received two text messages from Chu Zhongtian. The first text message was a week ago, saying that he had reached an agreement with Chelsea club and that Chelsea was willing to let him negotiate with Metz. Three days after the next day, he told Ribery that he had completed negotiations with Metz and that his personal contract was planned, so he was waiting for him to return to Metz to undergo a physical examination and could sign.
After seeing these two text messages, Ribery happily clenched her fists and said "Yeah". His wife Wahiba was very surprised: "Whose text message is you so happy?"
"Chu's text message. He told me that he had drafted a contract with Mets club and was waiting for the physical examination to sign. Haha! I will be teammates with him again next season!"
Wahiba still knows some team signing procedures. She saw her husband so happy and felt that something was wrong: "Didn't it mean that the physical examination failed, and the previous contract might be invalid?"
Ribery laughed and looked quite proud: "Will Chu's physical examination fail? I tell you, Vahiba, anyone in this world may fail the physical examination, but that guy doesn't! If I were the club chairman, I would make a decision to let him be exempted! Haha!"
Then he called out the phone from his agent James Merry and called.
On the phone, he said to Meri: "Chu has already negotiated with Mess Club? Well, then I have decided to stay at Mess! But...Mr. Meri, I hope my income in the new season will be higher than last season. I think with my contribution to the team, the current treatment is still low... Well, I understand. OK, thank you, Mr. Meri."
Close the phone, Ribery hugged his wife and looked at the narrow living room: "We are going to change to a big house, Vahiba. Also, that used car should be eliminated..."
※※※When Ribery and his wife were still on vacation at their Algerian mother's house, Chu Zhongtian's agent Meri had already negotiated all the contract terms with Mes Club. Chu Zhongtian played for Mes last season, and the club knew his strength very well, so there was no need to get involved in the issue of the player's strength. He went directly to the treatment negotiation part.
The weekly salary at Chelsea is obviously out of date, which is really too low. Chu Zhongtian told his high school classmates that he didn't make much money and others believed it. Now that I think about it, it's really uncoordinated that such a low weekly salary, coupled with his glorious performance on the court, is really inconsistent... As soon as Meri asked the condition of a weekly salary of 30,000 euros, this number scared Mess club. You should know that so far, Elf Toum, the highest weekly salary in the team, is only 16,000 euros. Last season, the top star in the team, Frank Ribery, was only 10,000 euros.
In fact, Meri also knew that it was unrealistic to get Chu Zhongtian a weekly salary of 30,000 euros. After all, he only had a good performance for half a season. Besides, Mess is not a wealthy club, but a small club that survives by selling young and promising players. Such a club has no money to pay too much for players. If everyone wants a high salary, such a club will soon fall into bankruptcy.
But this is the bargaining, asking for a lot of money to pay back on the spot. If you don’t start with a higher price, you will be very passive in the future.
The two sides had several tug-of-war between the two sides and finally confirmed that Chu Zhongtian's weekly salary was 16,000 euros, which was the same salary as Elf Toum, the highest in the team. Meri insisted on this number and refused to give up. His reason was that in terms of contribution, Chu Zhongtian was obviously larger than the forward in Zhengyin who played 31 games last season but scored only nine goals, so his salary could not be lower than Toum.
Metz accepted the number.
If you make concessions in weekly salary, you will naturally have to make up for the losses in other aspects. This is also the principle that Meri insisted on. So in addition to the salary of 16,000 euros per week, this salary will be increased by 15% every year, and there will be a goal prize of 1,500 euros and an assist prize of 600 euros. Originally, Meri wanted to play bonuses, 1,000 euros per game. However, Mess believed that Chu Zhongtian would definitely be the main player of the team. If they gave 1,000 in each game, they would not accept it. So after negotiation, the two sides made concessions - Meri no longer insisted on playing bonuses, while Mess club promised that once Chu Zhongtian represented the team in the league for 30 games, he would give 1,000 euros at one time, and then 10,000 in 60 games, and so on.
The contract period is four years. From a long-term perspective, Meri insists on writing this article into the contract: If Chu Zhongtian wants to transfer and leave the team after the contract expires two seasons, the club cannot use the increase in the transfer value as a blockade.
After seeing this contract, Chu Zhongtian felt that Mr. Meili was really bad... Not only was the salary high, but the last one was too naked - he completely treated Meis as a springboard.
"You will definitely not be willing to stay in this small club for the rest of your life, Chu. What if you perform well and have a bigger team interested in you? In order to avoid Chelsea's situation, this one must be added. I don't think it's a good idea to ask you to talk to the head coach every time."
Chu Zhongtian had to admit that what Meri said was right, and Meri did something good for him. Although he insisted on transferring to Mess in front of Mourinho, even at that time he didn't think he would stay at Mess until retirement. This was just the most suitable springboard. If there was a better choice, why not?
"Hehe, don't worry, Chu. You will not be alone soon. After you sign with Mess, I will soon start to fight for a better contract for Frank. If you have seen a lot of news about Frank's transfer in the media in the past few days, don't call him to verify." Merry smiled. "He won't turn on the computer."
Chu Zhongtian knew what he was going to play, so he nodded.
Meili used to be a media person and a reporter. She has a good relationship with many media outlets. She knows many media friends and helps create momentum and hype.
What's more, he does hold many invitations from the team to Ribery, and there are many famous teams here.
※※On June 31, Chu Zhongtian and Meri flew to Paris, France, and then took a high-speed train to Metz. After undergoing a physical examination in the club's designated hospital, Chu Zhongtian signed his name on the contract. So far, Chu Zhongtian transferred from Chelsea to Metz for two million euros, and signed for four years.
Unlike when he came here on loan a year ago, this time at the scene where he signed the contract, twenty-three news media reporters conducted interviews and reports. After he completed the signing, he came to the Forian Stadium in the Saint Mountain. More than 700 Metz fans in the stands welcomed his arrival.
He even saw the boy Belmont in the crowd. He was wearing his jersey, constantly waving his arms, and occasionally whistling twice.
When Chu Zhongtian walked under his position with the signed football, he leaned out and shouted to Chu Zhongtian: "Hey, I said man! Welcome to Metz, haha!!"
※※※After the signing, Chu Zhongtian indeed saw news about Ribery's possible transfer in many media. Sometimes he said that Lyon was interested in him, and sometimes he said that Marseille wanted to get the new Pire of Metz at all costs. In addition, the "Sun" in England also got involved, swearing that Chelsea and Arsenal were fighting for Ribery and could not get a fight. The voice of the Bundesliga giants also came from Germany, and Bayern Munich offered 10 million euros to buy Frank Ribery from Metz.
It seemed that Ribery became a celebrity in the transfer market overnight.
Metz fans were panicked by such intensive transfer rumors. They came to the small office building of Metz club to have a party, asking the club to withstand the pressure and not sell the team's heroes.
"When our relegation is limited to danger, who came forward to save the team? It was Frank Ribery!"
"When we were at a deadlock in the game, who used his storm to tear the opponent's defense line and brought us the goal? It was Frank Ribery!"
"What's the point if we bought Chu but couldn't keep his good friend Ribery? The two of them were the biggest contributors to our relegation last season! Neither of them was missing!"
"We must stop this kind of behavior that players are famous for being eager to sell! We are the Met Football Club, not the Met Pig Slaughterhouse!"
"Mr. Chairman, if you don't want Mess to continue fighting for relegation in the new season, please leave Frank Ribery! Leave our new Pire!"
"The story of Adebayo cannot be repeated!"
Some fans ran to Ribery's doorstep and asked him to stay because "Mess needs you, Frank!"
Ribery will show up at this time, waving Metz's jersey, thanking everyone, and using gestures to tell them that he also hopes to stay in Metz.
Next is Merri's appearance. He called the club's chairman Molinari and told him that the current situation is that many clubs are interested in Ribery, but Ribery still hopes to stay because of his old love. However, looking at Ribery's outstanding performance last season, it is inevitable that Mr. Chairman, don't you think he is getting too low now?
Even Fernandez found Molinari and told him that if the team wanted to perform better in the new season, they should keep Ribery at all costs.
"Frank and Chu are a very, very important part of my new season plan. They can't do it without anyone!"
Molinari calculated and according to Ribery's current ability, Metz was destined to be unable to retain him. But buying now and buying later are two different concepts. If Ribery continues to perform well in the league, he is likely to be selected for the French national team and may be able to participate in next year's World Cup. Once he participates in the World Cup, his value will be different... Instead of selling now, it is better to wait for a year before talking about it.
When doing business, you must pursue the maximization of interests.
He agreed to give Ribery a raise so that he could stay in Metz.
In this way, after the negotiations between Meri and Mes, Ribery became the highest-paid player in the team - a weekly salary of 22,000 euros, a goal prize of 800 and an assist prize of 600. The goal prize was slightly less than Chu Zhongtian. On the one hand, because his salary was high, and on the other hand, because his chance of scoring was greater than Chu Zhongtian and he won by number, so he no longer had to worry about the prize of a single goal.
After the signing of the new contract, all the news about Ribery's transfer rumors in the media disappeared, and fans gathered outside Ribery's home and club office building also dispersed.
Ribery was busy finding a good house. He even took Chu Zhongtian to choose a house together, saying that he would not only be a neighbor in the locker room, but also a neighbor in the house he lived in.
For the team's head coach Fernandez, signing Chu Zhongtian and keeping Ribery does not mean the end. If he wants to make a breakthrough this season, actions in the transfer market are essential.
Chapter completed!
