Chapter 347
Wu Di is not Ma Mingyu's agent, but he knows all the troubles of domestic players. As a domestic agent, many players take the initiative to come to him, wanting him to become an agent, but Wu Di does not accept the request from every player. He will examine the player's level by watching the game. If the level is not good, he will not sign it.
In fact, Ma Mingyu's loan to Perugia was faster than Wu Di thought.
On the same day, Ma Mingyu and his wife appeared at the Rome Airport, and the general manager of Perugia Club came to pick them up in person.
Although Italy has not entered the summer transfer period, Perugia brought Ma Mingyu in advance.
Ma Mingyu, who has a simple face, does not understand Italian, but has an interpreter around him, so there is no obstacle to his communication with general manager Alessandro Gochi.
Wang Qinbo, a reporter from Sports Weekly, took photos and gave Ma Mingyu a star-level treatment.
Needless to say, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Ma Mingyu was loaned to Perugia, and it was just a physical examination and official announcement. Now there are more and more players studying abroad in China, and Zheng Zhi and Yang Chen play well in Frankfurt, so as long as there are players abroad, domestic media will blew up. The same is true for Ma Mingyu to enter Serie A at this time, and his treatment is much better than Shao Jiayi joining 1860. After all, he is one of the core players of the national team.
He interviewed Perugia Club general manager Gao Qi when Ma Mingyu went for a physical examination.
"What made you think of introducing Ma Mingyu?"
Speaking of the introduction of Ma Mingyu, the young general manager Gao Qi said: "At the beginning of this year, I visited China. During my stay, I learned about Ma Mingyu's situation from my old friend, the head coach of the Chinese national team, Horton, and knew that he was one of the outstanding Chinese football players, so I had the idea of introducing Ma Mingyu to Perugia. However, since the Chinese league will not end until autumn, the negotiations started very slowly. I was eager to let him come, hoping that he could adapt to life and training here soon, because if he wants to have a good appearance, it must take time to prepare. Then I entrusted Karlovi to negotiate in China, and finally reached an agreement with Sichuan Quanxing Club recently."
"The reason for introducing Ma Mingyu, a not very young player, is that in my opinion, many young Chinese players are not very mature. When I was in China, I also took a fancy to two other Chinese players, but I soon gave up this idea because Perugia needs a player who can get into the state immediately. We can give players a stage to adapt, but we hope that the shorter this stage, the better, and with rich experience and very mature Ma Mingyu may be more suitable for our requirements. As for reports that we have contacted or negotiated with other Chinese players, this is unfounded. I have only contacted Ma Mingyu and Quanxing from the beginning."
"So, who are the other two players? Can you tell me?"
"Haha," Gao Qi smiled, "There is nothing to hide. One is called Qu Bo, but the child probably is not suitable for Serie A, so I didn't contact him. The other is Li Yi. Because of the same characteristics, I didn't contact him. In the end, we just chose Ma Mingyu."
"Qu Bo, Li Yi..." Wang Qinbo thought of the names of the two of them, and finally slapped his head and thought, "They are from the National Youth Team and the National Olympic Team. What a pity, it would be great if Perugia took a fancy..."
He felt very sorry for Qu Bo and Li Yi.
"I heard you had a disagreement on the rental fee before?"
"My initial idea was to build a bridge for Chinese players to the best league games in the world. Because we don't know much about Chinese players, and compared with the Japanese and Korean leagues, the level of the Chinese league is still different from them, so we cannot deal with this issue in the way of treating Korean players. Therefore, my idea was to rent Ma Mingyu for free in the first year. If Ma Mingyu performs well, we will buy him at the price specified in the contract. This is the meaning of free loans we proposed, rather than letting him play here for free. Of course, in the case of Chinese opposition, we will change the free loan to a paid loan of $150,000."
"Oh, that is to say, Ma Mingyu's rental fee is $150,000 a year. If he performed better, would you buy him?"
"Of course, we won't miss any excellent players." Gao Qi nodded.
"We all hope that he can become China's Hideho Nakada, which will be beneficial and harmless to the team and will also help us expand the market in Asia."
Hideho Nakata!
Nakada Hideho led Perugia to relegation, and he scored 10 goals in person, which was simply a superstar performance. Ma Mingyu is nothing now. This is more of Gao Qi's polite words. I guess he doesn't even know if Ma Mingyu can play it out.
Moreover, since Ma Mingyu chose Perugia, it means that he will definitely be often compared with Hidesu Nakada, especially Chinese and Japanese fans. This is a direct comparison and collision between the midfielders of the two countries...
"Did you introduce Ma Mingyu for business or competitive purposes?"
"Of course it's the latter, and competition is the most important choice criterion. Of course, it's best if you have both commercial interests."
"What difficulties do you think he will encounter in Italy?"
"The biggest difficulty is in addition to the two major obstacles of language and life, the most important thing is in thought and consciousness. Because foreigners' way of thinking is different from that of China, Ma Mingyu must be familiar with it as soon as possible and learn to consider problems in the Western way."
"Aren't you worried about failure?"
"This was originally a gamble, but I believe that all participants will win. But even if they lose, they just lose football, that's all."
...
...
Ma Mingyu underwent a two-and-a-half-hour physical examination. The Perugia Club team doctor conducted a blood, urine, bones and heart examination on him, and the examination results were completely qualified.
Then, Ma Mingyu came to the training ground of Perugia Club at 5 pm that day for simple training, mainly for basic training such as running, dribbling, shooting. At the training ground, Ma Mingyu met Perugia head coach Kosmi and had a brief conversation with the coach. Kosmi had a good impression of Ma Mingyu and praised him for being very modest and comprehensive in technology.
Finally, Ma Mingyu finally accepted an interview with Wang Qinbo. Wang Qinbo was also very excited and raised a series of questions.
"How did the 'Serie A' survive in a desperate situation?"
"How do you feel when you succeed in your wish?"
“When did you start to have the idea of playing football abroad?”
“What touched you the most during this transfer?”
"What experience has Quanxing Club accumulated through this transfer?"
"What difficulties do you think will happen after you arrive in Italy?"
"What role did public opinion play in this transfer?"
