Chapter Thirteen
Cambridge is a place name synthesized by transliteration and translation. The English name is cam-b, which means the Bridge of the Sword River. ◎For many Chinese people, Cambridge actually has a more literary title, Cambridge, and Cambridge, which is the Cambridge of Cambridge.
In short, this is a city where even the gusts of wind are culturally lit up. From this point of view, the team from this city seems to be the most suitable, but it is actually Tang Hua, who is from a prestigious university.
But this is not the reason why Tang Hua came here. The reason why he came here is because there is a professional team here who is willing to ask him to be the head coach and is willing to give him almost all the authority.
Although the entire Cambridge United club has not reached the level of honor to be honored, it is indeed exciting news. In the words of Dave Dogan, the chairman of the club who looks as simple as an ordinary retired worker, this is a moment worth remembering.
When he came here, Tang Hua seemed to have come to his hometown.
Although big clubs are professional, they often lack warmth. Although small clubs are a little amateur, they are never lack warmth. On the night before Tang Hua came here, Tang Hua met everyone in the club, from top to bottom, because Daogen prepared a welcome party for him.
After the lively moment, Tang Hua, who had already met people, embarked on the journey of "knowing" this club the next day.
As a team that has been away from the professional league for ten years, Tang Hua is mentally prepared for Cambridge United's all-round backwardness. Therefore, from the training ground to the home court, from the office to the accommodation, facing various facilities that are almost completely different from Manchester City, Tang Hua has always been calm.
Fortunately, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
If you see the small things, you can actually see the country's football heritage.
Only the league level. This country is not a big one. If the football league is divided, it can even be considered as the Nine-level leagues, including the Premier League, the Championship, the English League One and the English League Two. The non-professional ones include the National Football League, the Northern Football League and the Southern League, etc.
Almost every level of league has its own cup matches. For example, in Cambridge United, Tang Hua's new season mission is not only to lead the team to the League One, that is, to enter the top seven, but also to the FA Cup, League Cup and the England Championship, which only competes among teams in the third and fourth leagues.
Of course, the most important thing is the league. As for the cup, for small clubs, you can completely regard it as an opportunity to improve the club's finances.
Tang Hua knew very well what he should do. After a few days, he was like a primary school class teacher, and almost gave "home visits" to almost all the team members.
Then, he began to do what he was best at, building archives.
Small clubs have their way of survival, while large clubs have their way of establishing a foothold.
Manchester International Airport on July 1st.
A Spanish man with a beard walked out of the passage. He wore a pair of low-key sunglasses that wanted to cover up, and soon got into a car and left the airport.
No one knows his whereabouts, nor does anyone care about his whereabouts, but for Barcelona fans, they are probably not unfamiliar with this face. He is the former Spanish legendary goalkeeper and current Barcelona sports director Anthony Subizareta.
Manchester has two teams, Supisareta's goal today is the blue side.
Just last night, Subisareta and Luis Enrique had a meeting with each other that was not short, and then Subisareta booked today's air ticket.
Normally, after inquiring, since the other party gives an answer, the next thing should be a bargaining, but the meeting last night determined some things.
Even for Barcelona, this is still a crucial transfer.
When Subisareta arrived at the place where Linsen and Mubarak first met, Linsen was already waiting there.
Subisareta, Linson knew him, but had never dealt with him.
Lin Sen has little impression of this Spanish legend who replaced Begiristan as Barcelona's sports director four years ago, and his few impressions are not good. The transaction that led to Barcelona's transfer ban was made by him.
However, judging from the transfer transactions of Subizareta in recent years, his eyes are actually not bad. Villa, Mascherano, Fabregas and Sanchez in 11 years, Alba, Song in 12 years, and Neymar in last year... Who can say that these transfers are a failure?
Lin Sen doesn't have much impression of Subisareta. On the other hand, Subisareta is not unfamiliar with Lin Sen. In fact, there are not many people in Europe who are unfamiliar with Lin Sen.
As for the impression, it is neither good nor bad. Manchester City in the Linsen era was a stale rival to Barcelona on the European battlefield, but compared to Mourinho, the two were more competitive on the purely competitive level. Therefore, Subizareta could not like Linsen, but it was definitely not as disgusting as it was.
When both parties meet and after making courtesy, they will get straight to the topic.
"For this transfer, please believe that we are full of sincerity, otherwise I wouldn't be here today. But we think that your asking price is too high. Let me give you a simple example. Last year we introduced Neymar, and the transfer fee was only 57 million. Luis is of course a great star, but I don't think his net worth can be twice as high as Neymar, and I believe you won't think so either."
Supisareta's tone was very confident, just like Barcelona on the football field.
"Of course." Lin Sen nodded with a smile, expressing his approval of the other party's words, "Luis's net worth is never twice as valuable as Neymar. But, Anthony, please be honest, I don't think there is any comparison between the two."
"Nemar is a genius, which is well known, but that doesn't change one thing, that is, before going to Barcelona, he is still a genius who needs to prove himself. But Luis is different. He has proven that he is one of the best strikers in the world, both in the club and in the national team."
Lin Sen sounded patient, but to be honest, if he hadn't considered that he had other plans, he could have responded more bluntly to Subisareta's rhetoric.
Because Subizareta is so dying, and not mentioning anything else, he just compared Neymar. He said that Neymar's transfer fee is 57 million, which is also a well-known price. But in fact, is Barcelona really that much of the transfer fee paid for Neymar?
You should know that in January this year, former Barcelona chairman Rossel had to announce his resignation. The reason was the "Nemar transfer goal" with a lot of inside information. Subizareta compared Neymar at this time. Perhaps in his opinion, this is also a manifestation of the Qing Dynasty's own purity, but for Lin Sen, there is no wind and no waves will occur.
So, at the end, Lin Sen added half-jokingly, "Of course, I don't deny that Neymar has proved himself now, but Anthony, if you are willing to trade Neymar for Louis, I think this is a good idea."
"Stop kidding." Supisareta smiled a little reluctantly, "Nemar is now the future of Barcelona..."
Neymar vs. Suarez?
This is really no joke. As Barcelona's transfer manager, Subizareta knows how much the price Barcelona paid for Neymar's transfer. Of course, this price is largely pushed up by the damn smiling tiger next door. If it weren't for him, Barcelona would have been so unnecessary in a hurry in Neymar's transfer, and Rossel would not have lost his position as chairman.
"So, Messi? We can add money..." Lin Sen continued to joke without noticed the barrage in Subizareta's smile.
"We'll get back to the point, Lin." The situation was wrong. Subizareta said immediately. If he was worried that if this continued, Suarez's matter would not be discussed, but instead Manchester City was asking Barcelona for players.
"Okay, then." Lin Sen nodded, finally stopping his "sentence" to Subizareta and said seriously, "I don't think 100 million is an excessive price for Louis, but since the players want new challenges, we do not intend to set obstacles, but it must be a price that meets Louis's strength."
Upon hearing Lin Sen's words, Subisareta frowned in her heart.
It is not because Lin Sen still bite the "100 million" but because Lin Sen already knows that Barcelona has had contact with Suarez, but he uses "new challenges" to describe Suarez's desire to leave and chooses to ignore Barcelona.
Is this for Barcelona or to save face? Subizareta is not that naive. Lin Sen's move is just a reminder that Suarez can leave, but the next company may not be Barcelona, but it can also be other teams, such as Real Madrid.
Subizareta knew that Real Madrid might not be involved in this transfer, but he also admitted that it was not impossible. Isn’t the thing the person on the other side loves to do the most the goal of grabbing Barcelona? Especially the important goal.
If that were the case, Manchester City would undoubtedly be more inclined to sell Suarez to Real Madrid. Not to mention the price is similar, even a little lower is not impossible. The reason is simple, but teams that do not like to contact their players privately.
But, that's it, 100 million?
Hell, do all the teams think that Barcelona is a bank when they are trading with Barcelona? You know, let alone Neymar last year, even the current first transfer price is not above this number.
So……
