Chapter 43 Signing a contract
Rhodes' news is accurate.
Linsen didn't wait long before he received a call from Aguilar: Malaga decided to sign a contract with him, but there were some details that he needed to go to Malaga to negotiate in person. Moreover, since Linsen did not have an agent, his contract also needed to negotiate in person.
On Monday, May 26, Linson came to Malaga again. This time, the location was the living room of the headquarters of the Malaga Club, and the object also changed.
Sons did not appear this time, and along with the authorized Aguilar, another younger Spanish appeared. He seemed to be no older than Linson last year. He introduced himself that his name was Livermore Aguilar.
Aguilar Linson's heart moved, but Aguilar old Aguilar quickly answered Linson's question. Livermore is his son. Livermore is currently the team's transfer consultant, and before that, the position he should have served as a sports manager. The reason for such a change is precisely the so-called details Aguilar said. In fact, this detail is not detailed at all, because this "detail" is exactly the only requirement for Linson's previous meeting: transfer rights.
In principle, Malaga agreed to hand over the transfer right to Lin Sen, but obviously, in terms of method, the other party still wanted to reserve some. Therefore, Aguilar proposed a beautiful plan: within the controllable budget, the general direction of the transfer will be left to Lin Sen, that is, Lin Sen has the final say on who to buy and who to sell. However, in terms of details, Livermore has to be responsible. Simply put, Lin Sen only cares about the idea and no matter the operation.
As soon as this plan was proposed, Lin Sen knew that the other party had misunderstood his idea. Malaga mostly believed that Lin Sen wanted the "transfer right" to be a Premier League manager-style head coach, trying to take charge of everything in detail. But what Lin Sen wanted was actually to turn the head coach's often insignificant advice in transfer affairs in the traditional Spanish model into the right to decide.
Lin Sen’s idea is very simple. Since he wants to be a chef, he must decide what kind of dishes he wants or not. As for whether the process of buying and selling vegetables is done by himself, Lin Sen doesn’t care. Aguilar’s idea, or the deep meaning of the move of the senior management of Malaga, Lin Sen does not want to delve into it. It is nothing more than kickbacks and commissions, and the football industry has a brilliant side, so naturally there is a dark side. No matter how deep or shallow the water, Malaga is afraid that Lin Sen will get involved, but he doesn’t know that Lin Sen is not willing to get involved.
Therefore, Malaga's plan can actually be said to be exactly what Lin Sen thought.
Who would be happy to observe this player all day long? There were scouts calling him across the ocean in the middle of the night. Before coming here, Lin Sen, who was still alone, was even worried about whether he would be a summer airborne. Now it seems that someone has volunteered.
Of course, transfer rights are actually a very general concept. Starting from determining the goal, transfer negotiations between clubs and personal contract negotiations between players are all the key points. The decision-making power is easy to say, but in fact, how to operate is the key point. Therefore, Lin Sen still needs to confirm with Aguilar in some real details.
Whether there are privileged players in the team is one of the main issues that Lin Sen is most concerned about, because this not only affects the team's rectification efforts in the new season, but also the stability of the team's locker room. Lin Sen really doesn't like the role of a privileged player, or at the time, no coach likes this role. Atletico has a privileged player, namely Aguero. On the issue of Aguero, don't talk about major events such as sales and contract renewal, the head coach can't even get involved, or even talk. Even the club's senior management may have to interfere with the issue of playing. It would be fine if it was a privileged player who was easy to get along with or meets tactical requirements. Otherwise, what coach can bear it? Fortunately, Aguera's answer to this is very straightforward: No. This means that Malaga has no non-selling products. I think Malaga has already made a conclusion on this, otherwise Aguera, who is just authorized, wouldn't have answered so straightforwardly.
In addition, Lin Sen also requires himself to have the right to know the progress and bid advice in the transfer operation. For this point, Lin Sen's consideration is that others do not have his memory, and he cannot explain his goals to the other party. In order not to have a busy life for a long time, in the end, he only gets a word of collapse. Lin Sen can only use this method to ensure that his goal can be successfully won. However, in this way, Aguilar seems a little hesitant. Obviously, for Malaga, Lin Sen's request is suspected of monitoring.
This time, Livermore, who was always quiet, gave the answer, and he smiled and said that it was absolutely fine.
Since the actual operator Livermore nodded, and Lin Sen's request actually did not conflict with the club's original intention of only giving Lin Sen the right to decide, Aguilar nodded quickly.
The two most important questions were settled, and the rest was no longer any obstacle. Next, Lin Sen asked some questions about the details of the transfer rights. After Aguilar's answer made him feel feasible, he finally nodded to express his acceptance of the other party's "tampering" with the transfer rights.
As for the negotiation of personal contracts, since Lin Sen has long been saying that it is not demanding, the difference between the two parties in annual salary is not big. Malaga originally provided a two-year contract with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan after tax. The prize money is based on the team's results, namely relegation, mid-range, European arena, Champions League qualification and league championship five levels, and the prize money doubled from 50,000 yuan in turn. In other words, if Lin Sen really can achieve the Haikou he boasted about when he met before, he will get a
The bonus is equivalent to his annual salary. As for the league championship, it is as high as 800,000. Obviously, no one thinks Lin Sen will do this, and even Lin Sen himself has no idea. As for the only Cup Cup, the bonus mode is similar to the league, and the bonus mode is doubled, with the 200,000 yuan award as the benchmark for entering the top 16. The only difference is that if you can enter the finals, regardless of whether the team wins the championship, Lin Sen can get a bonus equal to his annual salary, that is, 200,000 yuan.
Lin Sen has no objection to the annual salary and bonus. Malaga is still kind. Although Lin Sen said he does not mind demanding on annual salary, although Malaga's annual salary is not even a fraction of the wealthy coaches, at least compared with the same clubs, it is basically the same as Lin Sen's previous salary at Atletico Madrid. The only thing Lin Sen has an idea is the contract age. Lin Sen proposed to adopt a 1+1 model for the contract age, that is, if the contract is signed for one year, and if both parties have no objection after one year, the contract will automatically continue for one year.
Aguilar obviously doesn't understand Lin Sen's idea. Compared with the contract period, Aguilar originally thought that Lin Sen would be dissatisfied with a special clause in the contract: if the team is in the relegation zone after half a time or the team suffers five consecutive losses, the club has the right to terminate the contract unconditionally.
But now, Linsen's objection is the contract period. Although Aguilar is only a consultant to the team, for him who has been in Malaga since the 1980s, he knows much more about the pros and cons of the 1+1 model contract than Linsen. 1+1 is a one-year contract. For the head coach, the advantage is that he has the right to choose to stay or stay in a year. But everything is relative, and the same principle applies to the club.
Therefore, no matter how Aguilar, who was originally optimistic about the second team coach Tapia, thinks that the 1+1 contract is more harmful than good to Lin Sen. However, he has no reason to refuse Lin Sen's request.
When the contract was really confirmed, Aguiral realized that it was impossible to sign a contract today. Because it was never a contract negotiation that could be completed in one or two days, Aguiral did not expect that it took less than two hours to reach an agreement from beginning to end. The formal signing of the contract required Chairman Sans Jr. to be present in person.
After listening to Aguilar's explanation, Lin Sen expressed understanding. The formal signing of the contract will be arranged tomorrow. Then, in theory, Lin Sen also enjoys his own personal vacation. Since the season just ended, everyone was on vacation, the players were and the coaches were too. Among them, this includes Tapia, who was originally one of the candidates for the head coach, who will become Lin Sen's assistant coach in the new season. The appointment was decided by the club. Lin Sen did not object to this. He is alone and does need someone who is very familiar with the team to help him. Tapia is obviously the best candidate. As for meeting with other members of the coaching staff, it is destined to be postponed.
However, after the holidays are over, Lin Sen will officially start preparing for the new season as the head coach of Malaga. The first task is to formulate a lineup transformation plan as soon as possible. Next, the matter between him and Livermore.
Lin Sen did not return to Madrid immediately this time, but stayed in a hotel arranged by the Malaga Club for one night. Before Lin Sen found his residence, he would stay there temporarily. The fee was of course paid by the club. The next day, accompanied by Sons, the two parties officially signed a contract.
The head coach is a newcomer, and usually meets the club's senior management first. When Lin Sen took over Atletico Madrid, the situation was special, and the Malaga stage was still very simple. There are not many main executives of the Malaga club, which is a bit centralized. The most important one is naturally the chairman Sans Jr. In addition, Aguilar, as a veteran, will participate in most of the club's decisions, while Livermore is a newcomer. The new leader Vicente Barcas is a new face that Lin Sen will often encounter in the new season. This can actually show the difference between small clubs and large clubs. Take Atletico Madrid as an example. In addition to the chairman and general manager, there are also positions such as business directors and football directors. Some positions are even more than one person. The subdivision of the positions largely represents the "level of evolution" of the club.
Barkasse, who has played for Malaga for nearly ten years, has just retired this season. He will assist Lin Sen in managing the locker room in the new season. After the introduction, he took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Sen. Perhaps because of his similar age, Barkasse seems very familiar. He even joked that he really wants to change positions with Lin Sen.
As for Livermore, his attitude was still the same as at the beginning, neither humble nor arrogant. After shaking hands with Lin Sen with a smile, he only said one sentence.
Happy cooperation.
