Chapter 14 Negotiation with Piri (")

"In a La Liga match played this afternoon, Mallorca, who had not won eight rounds of the league, finally won a victory. At home, they beat Vallecano, who was ranked third with a score of 3-0. La Liga youngest head coach Jose Alemuni led Mallorca to win in his first game in office. However, this is not the most surprising thing. In the post-match press conference, Jose revealed that before the start of the game, he announced to all players in the locker room that he could not do so.

If he wins this game, then this game will be the only official game in his life to coach... and Mallorca captain Ngonga and forward Tristan, who appeared at the press conference, confirmed that he did say such things. Jose said that it was because he confirmed that Mallorca's strength in this game was better than Vallecano, and his coaching ability was better than Vallecano's head coach Vazquez, so he made such a vow in the locker room. Which coach is better and which team is better?

It's all about the opinion of the person. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. However, even if Mallorca is indeed stronger than Vallecano, Jose is indeed better than Vasquez. However, the football game is not a simple conversion game. Even if the best coach in the world leads a team composed of the best players, he cannot say that he can definitely defeat a professional team! The result of the football game is the most unpredictable. Being able to make such a promise so seriously can only say that this young head coach is also a crazy one.

Guy. If he loses this game, then his head coaching career has ended before it even begins... Fortunately, Jose seems to have good luck. He won this game and won the qualification to continue coaching. It is hard to imagine that he will really resign after losing the game, but now, I think the players of Mallorca have no doubt that their head coach will be a person who says what he says. Although Mallorca is still at the bottom now, in the next game, their morale and condition may come back..."

Just when the Palma Daily published the front page headlines on Sunday's game and everything that happened at the press conference after that game, the crazy head coach they said had already left Mallorca by plane and flew directly to Madrid, the capital of Spain.

Jose came for one person, the player who would leave a deep mark on Mallorca's history in the future and left his name throughout Europe, the greatest African star since Via, and the well-deserved shooter who can "run in the name of black people" - Cameroon international Samuel Etoo.

However, although Etoo now has participated in the World Cup in France a year and a half ago, he is just a substitute in the Cameroon national team and cannot get opportunities in Real Madrid - he only played once in Real Madrid last season, and this season Real Madrid introduced French scorer Anelka at a high price. Etoo's playing space has been compressed more. He only got two games of the game throughout the first half of the season.

Today is January 25th. Although Spain's transfer period ends on January 1st, if you only have a loan player, you can still successfully loan it. As long as you complete the loan before January 31st.

When Jose walked out of Madrid Airport, no one knew the young man with sunglasses, and Jose didn't care about it. After leaving the airport, he quickly called a taxi and drove to the Bernabeu.

From the entrance fifty-fifth of the Bernabeu Stadium, José walked into the headquarters of Real Madrid Club, and then he walked into the office of Real Madrid general manager Piri.

Jose Martinez Sanchez, nicknamed Piri, is one of Real Madrid's legendary players. After retiring, he served as Real Madrid's team doctor. He is now the general manager and technical director of Real Madrid club.

The power of this position is quite great. Basically, players must be introduced and transferred through Piri. If Jose wants to loan Etoo, he has to deal with him.

Before he was reborn, Jose didn't know Piri. He only knew that Real Madrid's general manager and technical director were Valdano, Butragno and Mijatovic, but he really didn't know who Piri was. However, after he was reborn, he knew how important the general manager of the Sans era was.

"Mr. Jose? Hello, I'm Piri." Although it's nickname, Piri is basically his name. When he shook hands with Piri, Jose was also looking at the other party. This is not a pure Spaniard. He was born in Ceuta, a territory of North Africa in Spain. Although he is not a black man, he is also one of the few African-American players in the Spanish national team. Although he has retired for a long time, Piri has not gained weight. His firm face and firm eyes flashed with wisdom - this is not a guy who is easy to deal with, Jose thought in his heart.

Compared with Piri, who is fifty-five, Jose, who is twenty-five, still looks very young.

"Mr. Piri, I came to Madrid this time to rent a player." After sitting down, Jose said straight to the point.

"I know your purpose, Mr. Jose." Piri nodded: "Samuel Etoo, this is your goal... I also think it is a good idea to loan Samuel Samuel out. Although Real Madrid only has four strikers, the other three are rarely injured. He has no chance to play. He is already nineteen years old and needs more games... But what I want to know now is what benefits can Mallorca lend him to Real Madrid. Maybe my words are a little straightforward, but as a Real Madrid employee, I have to consider the interests of Real Madrid first."

"Will it be beneficial to Real Madrid to give Etoo more training opportunities?" Jose smiled slightly: "Mallorca is a small team, but a small team that is very capable of training players... Needless to say, Ivan Campo, who now plays for Real Madrid, transferred from Mallorca to Real Madrid, and now he has basically become the main player of Real Madrid."

"You've made sense." Piri smiled: "But Real Madrid doesn't have the only choice. You know, even if Etoo stays in Real Madrid, it will be a very good result for us. You should know that we are fighting on the third line in the second half of the season, and it is still a bit insufficient to have only three forwards."

"You have also said that the other three forwards of Real Madrid are players who can play for a long time." Jose said without discouragement: "Even the three of them may need to be the main players... Raul is the banner of Real Madrid, and he is in good condition and cannot not play; Morientes' characteristics can guarantee his main position. At least a high center like him is very useful in many cases, which is why there is always a place for Urses (Bilbao center) in the Spanish national team... As for Anelka, I think even Real Madrid cannot allow a player worth more than 40 million US dollars to play as a substitute, not to mention that he is indeed very outstanding. In this case, how many opportunities can Etoo have to play? One game? Two games? He is not a seventeen-year-old boy two years ago. Training can no longer improve his ability. What he needs is the game, and Mallorca can provide him with enough opportunities for the game."

"Not enough, not enough, Mr. Jose." Piri smiled and said, "This is really not enough. You know, Samuel was brought by me from Africa personally. There were ten African boys with him at that time. The skills, talents and physical fitness they showed were similar. However, Samuel was the one who best. Do you know why? Because in his eyes, I saw unyielding fighting spirit and firm will. You must know that he was just a fourteen-year-old boy at that time. In fact, I read that right. He became the only player among the ten children who could enter the first team of Real Madrid from the Real Madrid youth team. Now, I also see these things in your eyes. You will be a very outstanding coach, and you are a benchmark.

A accurate Mallorca man, you will always be the head coach of Mallorca until your father leaves the position of Chairman Mallorca. You should know that Mallorca has caused a lot of trouble for Real Madrid in recent years, that is to say, Mallorca may cause more trouble for Real Madrid in the next few years, so..." Speaking of this, Piri stood up with the table and stared at Jose with an eagle-like look: "Mr. Jose, please tell me why I had to loan such an excellent player to Mallorca, so that it would cause trouble for Real Madrid in the future? In the past few seasons, except for this season, we have not even gained an advantage against Mallorca in two league matches! I think maybe Mallorca's relegation is a good result for Real Madrid."

It was not until after saying these words that Piri sat down and withdrew his gaze.

While he was speaking, Jose remained silent and waited until he finished speaking before Jose laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

It is obvious that Piri doesn't know the Chinese negotiation skills, and has never seen the Deer and the Cauldron.

Obviously, Jose has seen it, so he knows the opportunity to use laughter to confuse his opponents and give himself the opportunity to organize his language.

"I really didn't expect Real Madrid to be so afraid of the little Mallorca." Jose smiled and shook his head. His expression and laughter made Piri feel that the young man in front of him seemed surprised and contempt: "You know, Real Madrid is now fighting for the Champions League. Although the situation is not very good in the league, it is not without a chance to win the championship... Such a century-old giant will actually be afraid of Mallorca who is about to be relegated, and even hope to use some means to relegate Mallorca... I really didn't expect it."

After initial surprise, Piri's expression quickly calmed down. He shook his head and said, "It's useless, young man, I'm thirty years older than you. I've seen too many people. On the court, there are countless defenders who want to anger you, and on the negotiating table, there are countless people... It's not that easy to make me angry."

Jose put away the smile on his face and nodded.
