Chapter 155 Deal with the two central defenders

Two weeks before the start of the Eerste Divisie, many teams have begun to train. Shringa met again with Seba Dien, the agent of French central defender Ismail, in the office of De Hodt Stadium. In this meeting, Shringa put pressure on Ismail's agent. In terms of annual salary, Sher Linjia did not give in because it would affect the salary structure of the whole team, but she privately said that if she succeeded, Alkma could also give him $100,000.

Shringer's suggestion moved Sebadian and got two commission. For him, he absolutely hoped that the transfer would be successful. On the one hand, he persuaded Ismail and praised Jiang Mu's coaching ability and the level of training players. In addition, he put pressure on the Crystal Palace to say that Ismail was tired of staying in England and that they had to leave.

Driven by Sebadean, the transfer began to accelerate. In front of the media, the chairman of Crystal Palace admitted that there was no big difference between the two clubs on the transfer fee. He told The Times: "Alkmaar's offer is constructive."

However, Crystal Palace has not finally nodded. The reason is not the transfer fee, but whether Crystal Palace can finally find a player who can replace Ismail. Chinese central defender Fan Yi is not yet able to completely replace Ismail.

As head coach Bruce said, "This position is too important to us. If our defense is full of loopholes, it is useless to give us 10 million pounds. Our employment policy must be responsible to the club and our fans, and we have to consider it carefully.

Bruce's implication is that if the Crystal Palace finds Ismail's ideal successor, this exchange business can be done.

Of course, Jiang Mu and Alkmaar can't wait for the Crystal Palace to find a suitable central defender. They must put ** and pressure on the Crystal Palace.

Shortly after Bruce's speech, Jiang Mu went to France to visit Ismail in person. In the cafe, Jiang Mu had a secret conversation with the later fateful goatee central defender.

Although no one revealed the specific content of the meeting after the event, many years later, Ismail recalled the meeting and said, "I have been hesitant, because I was born in Ligue 1 and Ligue 1 is more familiar to me. There is no need to take any risks. The trip to League One has made me tired and scared, but Jiang Mu made me feel the soul of a great coach. Although he is only one year older than me, he is much more mature than me. His past glory and vision for the future make me stunned. I admit that I have a hero complex. He is Napoleon in my mind. I am determined to follow him to build a career.

After the meeting between Ismail and Jiang Mu appeared in the French "Team News", Crystal Palace head coach Bruce was very angry. He thought that Jiang Mu was provocative and did not respect the rules of the football circle, and he refused such a transfer.

However, on the issue of transfer, Ismail's attitude became clear. He said that he appreciated Jiang Mu's coaching style and hoped to go to the Netherlands to try new challenges and life.

After Alkmaar slapped Crystal Palace, he immediately gave Crystal Palace a piece of candy to eat. Sherlinga announced that she would add $200,000 to Crystal Palace in the transfer fee to support Crystal Palace to find a suitable central defender.

In the face of money, everything can be taken back. The Crystal Palace immediately changed its mouth and called Alkmaer's behavior "a very sincere offer." We must seriously consider that this is not only a transfer, but also a friendship between the two sides. Before the start of the season They had a friendly match.

So far, Ismail's transfer barrier has been basically eliminated. The rest is just a discussion of details, and these do not need to be bothered by Jiang Mu, the head coach. He only takes the team to train and prepare for the first battle with Ajax after the winter break. The details of the contract will be explored by the team's lawyer. Ask for.

In the week before the end of the winter break, many players from Alkmaar have come one after another. Although these players have returned, their bodies are still on vacation, mainly assistant coach Linna Zhou and physical coach Borden took them for restorative training.

January 29th in the Netherlands is China's New Year's Eve. It is a foreign country, and there is no festive atmosphere at all. There are few Chinese and international students, and the Dutch hardly know this festival, so there is no taste of New Year's Eve at all.

Of course, there are exceptions. There is a grand celebration ceremony in The Hague every year. Generally, the Chinese ambassador to the Netherlands and the mayor of The Hague will attend. After the celebration, there is also a formal banquet, but only those who are invited can attend the banquet.

The Spring Festival activities organized by overseas Chinese are more lively than those in China. Lion dancing, firecrackers, martial arts performances, red lanterns, Peking Opera faces, paper-cutting, gongs and drums, red and green are full of "Chinese elements", and these have disappeared in many parts of the country.

At the beginning, Jiang Mu was very interested, but after several years of Spring Festival, he felt that it was no different from China. He missed the warmth of eating dumplings together.

But now Jiang Mu is a celebrity in the Netherlands. Such a celebration banquet will definitely invite him, and Jiang Mu can't shirk it, because these Chinese are his fans and go to the scene to support him in every game. Not only will he participate in this celebration ceremony, but also the Alkmaar Club has also sent marketing manager Sheringa to come. The Hague expressed its congratulations in order to deal with the relationship with Chinese fans.

At the celebration ceremony, Jiang Mu was very happy that he did not see the flies of Sima Beiluo Fangfang, because Qiao Qiao did not attend. It is said that Ambassador Tan said that Qiao Qiao returned to China to deal with something, just in time for the Spring Festival, and then returned to the Netherlands after the Spring Festival.

Zhao Guangming did not come back from China. He asked for a three-day leave from the club and returned to the Netherlands after the Spring Festival. Although the Netherlands did not celebrate the Spring Festival, they respected the Chinese traditions very much, and the club granted Zhao Guangming's leave.

Shihe Linjia knew that Jiang Mu was alone and was afraid that he would be lonely on New Year's Eve, so she stayed with Jiang Mu, learned from Jiang Mu to make dumplings, and watched the CCTV four Spring Festival Gala.

At this time, the Spring Festival Gala is not so brain-damaged and dog-blooded. The song can be heard, the sketch can be laughed, and the crosstalk can be heard. Jiang Mu is also not missed every year. He translated it to Sherinjia. After Jiang Mu's processing, Sherinjia can't help laughing.

Jiang Mu is not very good at making dumplings. Shelinga is even more a layman. After the dumplings made by two people are put into the pot, they basically become noodle soup.

The dumplings were not made or eaten well, but Jiang Mu and Shilinga had a meaningful New Year's Eve. After watching the Spring Festival Gala, the two hugged each other several times before they fell asleep.

The next day is the first day of the Chinese New Year. In China, everyone must get up early, because they either pay New Year's greetings to others or accept other people' New Year's greetings, but Jiang Mu is not ready at all. In the Netherlands, he does not need to pay New Year's greetings to others, and there is no one else to pay New Year's greetings to him.

When Jiang Mu and Sherringia were still sleeping with their heads covered, the doorbell rang. Jiang Mu did not stop at first, but the doorbell rang patiently. Jiang Mu had to dress and open the door to see who came to visit at this time.

As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Mu was shocked. If it hadn't been for all his team members, he would have thought that something had happened here.

"Happy New Year, Coach Jiang."

The leader was Van Bomel, the captain of Alkmal. When he entered the door, he bowed his fist and gave New Year's greetings to Jiang Mu. Behind Van Bomel, almost all the main Dutch players such as Drogba and Klose arrived. They came forward to pay New Year's greetings to Jiang Mu one by one by one. Jiang Mu was embarrassed that he couldn't give red envelopes to New Year's greetings according to Chinese people' habits, because he didn't think of it at all, but Sherringia seemed to have heard of the players coming to pay New Year's greetings to Jiang Mu for a long time. Unexpectedly, a red envelope was given to each team member.

In the morning, the two of them still ate their own dumplings, but they needed to be smart. Instead of boiling them in the pot, they steamed them in a steamer. Sure enough, the dumplings were not broken and were delicious.

After breakfast, Jiang Mu went to Dehout Stadium to train, and Shringer went to England to sign a contract with Ismail. After today, Ismail really belonged to Alkmaar. On February 1, Alkmaar held a press conference. Both Ismail and Lucio will come to the Netherlands to meet the fans.

Shrynja's signing with Ismail in England went well. In the end, Alkmaar won Ismail for a transfer fee of $2 million. Ismail's annual salary is $500,000, and he became the top salary as Tomarson's.

At the fan meeting the next day, the stadium was full. The fans understood the importance of the arrival of the two central defenders. The final stage of the first half was too difficult and dangerous. If they want to win the league championship again in 18 years, it is necessary to add the central defender.

Ismail and Lucio were also very excited at the press conference. Ismail said: "The Netherlands is a great country and the birthplace of all-defense football. There have been countless superstars here. I am very happy to be able to fight against the championship with Alkmaar's fans. I believe in our defense. The line will not become a burden to the companions.

Lucio has just made his debut, and his performance is much more formal. "It was my childhood dream to play football in Europe. I am very grateful to Alkmaar for giving me a chance to realize my dream. The Netherlands is a place where countless Brazilian predecessors have fought. Romario and Ronaldo have become famous here. I hope to follow them. Walk down and help the team win the league championship. I am unknown, but I spent a million dollars on the team. I believe that every fan wants to see if I am worth it. I can guarantee that every Dutch guilder spent by Alkmaer is not a waste.

The speeches of Lucio and Ismail made the fans excited. During the performance on the court, the two tall central defenders not only performed some flower work, but also performed a one-on-one battle of attack and one defense live, so that the fans showed Lucio's excellent skills and attack. The ability also saw Ismail's strong defense.

The fan meeting was planned successfully. Lucio and Ismail made a good impression on the fans and laid a good foundation for their later games.
