Chapter 150 Lucio's Conditions
(The UEFA Champions League final begins, send a chapter when watching the game to reward the brothers)
At the Sheraton Hotel in Brasilia, Cesar hosted a banquet for his head coach Jiang Mu. Of course, he did not forget to invite Lucio. Although Cesar and Lucio are one in Brasilia and the other in Rio de Janeiro, they are all in the football circle. There is no reason why they don't know each other. Even if they don't know each other, through a few Friends must know each other. Jiang Mu came to Brazil, and Cesar must help.
There are local players and several players playing in Europe at the banquet. Except for Elber, most of them are not very famous players. For players like Ronaldo Leonardo Ronnierio, Cesar does not have the capital to know.
Of course, it is not the first time for Jiang Mu to see Lucio, but it is the first time to see Lucio so close. The ugliness and fierceness of Lucio's appearance can be compared with that of Casimodo in Notre Dame de Paris. He is very low-key and even a little shy in the winery. He just drinks and eats food and rarely talks.
There are so many people in the bar. Of course, it's not a good time to talk. Jiang Mu didn't talk to Lucio. It's just a general chat. At this time, Jiang Mu didn't want to scare the snake in advance. He made it too public and was known by Brazilian International in advance.
Jiang Mu knows Portuguese, which has a great benefit to his communication with Brazilian players. During the banquet, he attracted a lot of words and won the love and respect of the players on the court.
After the banquet, the crowd dispersed, and Lucio was left behind by Cesar.
"Lucio, someone wants to say something to you." Cesar said to Lucio.
"Who?" Lucio replied curiously.
"My coach and manager." Cesar Road.
"Oh, it's them, okay."
Cesar took Lucio to the room where Jiang Mu and Shilinga stayed. Shilinga had called four cups of Chinese tea and waited for their arrival.
"Hello, Lucio, let me give you a formal introduction. I'm Jiang Mu, the head coach of Alkmaar. This is the manager of our club, Sheringa. This time we are here specially for you."
Jiang Mu and Sheringa both stood up and reached out to hold Lucio.
"Oh, thank you."
Lucio, who is just 20 years old this year, has a poor family and is very ugly. When he was young, it was a problem to eat at home. It was only after Lucio became a professional player that his family was a little richer. The poor second generation Lucio seemed fierce, but in fact he was very shy. Seeing Jiang Mu and the beautiful Sheringer stand up with himself. Shaking hands, he didn't speak very neatly nervously.
After the two sides took their seats, Cesar briefly introduced his team to his friends and said, "We are missing a central defender now. I think of you and recommend it to the coach. I hope you can come to Alkmaar to help us."
Cesar is not lying. He really mentioned Lucio to Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu said, "I've seen your video. I think you are the central defender I need. I believe you will become the world's top defender in Alkmaar."
Lucio nervously picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea and said, "Thank you, Coach Jiang, for valueing me. I really want to play in Europe, but I don't know much about Alkmaar and Europe. I don't know if I can adapt."
Jiang Mu laughed and said, "If you can't adapt, then change it. This is what everyone who lands in Europe must do. It's not only your players, but also coaches like me who have to adapt to the European football environment."
Cesar said, "European football must be different from our Brazilian football, but you can definitely adapt to it. Lucio, you will become famous in Europe. It's a waste of time in Brazil."
Lucio said sincerely, "Thank you, Giulio, but I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to talk to Mr. Becker."
"Who is Mr. Becker?"
Cesar was shocked. Jiang Mu and Sherringia exchanged eyes and felt that they might have done something wrong.
"Mr. Becker is my agent." Lucio Road.
"Is Mr. Becker your agent? I remember you didn't have an agent. Cesar said in surprise.
"This was found by the club before Christmas, saying that it helped me take care of some things. So that I won't be distracted." Lucio said honestly.
Jiang Mu, Cesar and Sherringia suddenly realized that Jiang Mu regretted taking action rashly without investigating clearly. If Lucio's agent knew that they had contacted Lucio in private, something would definitely happen again. He hurriedly said, "Lucio, you are calling Mr. Becker now. Let him come to the Sheraton Hotel and let's talk about you together.
"Okay."
Lucio immediately called his agent Becker. When Becker heard that a European coach was looking for him, he quickly took a taxi to the Sheraton Hotel.
Becker is a typical Brazilian, with a multi-racial mixed-race face. He is tall and has the unique shrewdness and strength of his agent. When he sees Jiang Mu and Sheringjia, he shakes hands enthusiastically, just like seeing a big gold owner, which makes Jiang Mu a little uny.
Jiang Mu said bluntly, "I met Lucio at the banquet today. We had a very happy conversation. I listened to Cesar's recommendation and watched Lucio's video. I like him very much. We injured the central defender before the winter break. I hope he can go to Europe to help us. What does Mr. Becker think of this?"
Becker pondered and did not answer immediately. He had been thinking about this matter on the way. Of course, he hoped that Lucia would transfer and the player's transfer agent could get a valuable commission, but now Lucio is his cash cow. He can't die before the cash cow grows up. He must consider it. The future of Lucio.
"To put it bluntly, Coach Jiang, Miss Sherringia, I really know too little about Alkmaar's information now. It's difficult for me to make a correct and wise judgment now. Of course, you personally sent an invitation to Lucio, which shows that you appreciate him very much. I'm very happy for Lucio. You are the first to value Lu. Theo's coach, but I think we still need time to understand. Maybe it's safer to switch talks in the summer.
Jiang Mu said, "I can simply introduce Alkmaar to you, and then you can check the information and ask your friends to see if it's true. Now we are the leader of the Dutch League, 12 points ahead of the second place Feyenoord, 19 consecutive victories in the league, and reached the quarterfinals of the Cup. There is no problem playing the Champions League next season. Now that our central defender is injured, we must bring in a central defender during the winter break. If we can't get Lucio, then we must find another defender. Of course, I have a lasting interest in Lucio. You can contact me whenever you want.
Becker was surprised by Jiang Mu's introduction, because he knew about the Dutch League. Many Brazilians landed from the Dutch League. He knew that the Dutch League was the top three, but he had hardly heard of Alkmaar. He was skeptical of Jiang Mu's words and said, "Okay, Lucie and I Let's discuss it, and then I'll give you an answer. Europe is the winter break. Are you not in a hurry to leave now? If we don't have time, we can contact by phone.
Jiang Mu said, "I will not leave for the time being. You can contact me at any time. I look forward to your good news. I think this is a good opportunity for both Lucio and you. No agent or player has become a big name in Brazil."
Becker said, "Yes, I understand what Coach Jiang said. I will give you an answer soon. I'm sorry, this matter is too sudden. I need to digest it. After all, it's related to Lucio's future. I can't negotiate with you hastily."
Jiang Mu nodded and said, "I fully understand your feelings. Your responsible spirit is admirable."
"Thank you for your understanding. See you later."
Becker left Sheraton with Lucio. He wants to go back to check the details of Alkmaar and Jiang Mu. If what he says is true, Becker is ready to have a good talk with Jiang Mu. This is a good opportunity. As the Chinese youth said, he can't become a big brand in Brazil.
Jiang Mu and Sherlinga are not only signing but also on vacation this time. After Becker and Lucio left, they spent a day in Brasilia under the leadership of Cesar. They stayed in Sheraton for another night and were ready to return to Porto Alegre the next day. If Becker and Lucio agreed to transfer, they would be with Brazil. Let's talk internationally. If Lucio doesn't want to go to Alkmaar, they will also go back to Porto Alegre to see the opinions of Ronaldinho and Assis. If Ronaldinho is not willing to transfer, they will go back to Europe and deal with Van Bitten and Ismail as soon as possible.
The next morning, when Jiang Mu and Sherinja were about to leave Brasilia, Becker came to the Sheraton Hotel.
Jiang Mu happily welcomed Becker into the room and said, "I'm so happy to see you at this time. I'm about to rush back to Porto Alegre. Why didn't Lucio come?"
Becker's smile today was much more sincere and said, "Lucio doesn't like to deal with people very much. This child is a little introverted. I can fully represent his opinion."
Jiang Mu nodded and said, "Well, what's Mr. Becker's opinion?"
Becker said, "I seriously inquired about what you said. I think Lucio's going to Alkmaar is suitable for his development. However, you should be clear that even if we have to consider the future, the immediate interests are also very important. After all, it is difficult to grasp the future."
Jiang Mu said, "Mr. Becker, I understand what you said. If you have any conditions, please feel free to mention them. Let's discuss it."
Becker said, "You discuss the transfer fee with the club. I'm just talking about personal issues. Lucio hopes that his annual salary should not be less than $200,000. This should be the middle level in Alkmaar."
200,000 US dollars is equivalent to more than 400,000 guilders. Jiang Mu looked at Sheringer. Sheringer nodded and said, "I agree on behalf of the club."
"I hope to ensure Lucio's main position. And... Well... When there is an invitation from a rich family, I hope Alkmaar will not stop him from transferring. Becker consciously put forward a more demanding condition and said it with a little hesitation.
But Jiang Mu agreed without hesitation and said, "No problem. I can guarantee this. I don't think Lucio will leave. Alkmaar will give him a chance to show his skills."
Becker breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Coach Jiang, for your pleasure. The following is about you and the club. In order to make the transfer successful, I suggest you rent this half of the season first and then buy it out."
Jiang Mu was very happy to think of winning Lucio, the future world-class central defender, and said, "Thank you for your suggestion. I will consider it carefully."
