059 New coach and agent
A few days later.
"Edwin Schmidt has decided, he still signed a contract with the BJ team."
"Okay, we have tried our best, but we really can't afford that much money. As we said before, let's talk about Ten Hahe."
So, the easy-to-talk Ten Hahe took up his post on June 10.
"Official: Ajax and Ten Hag have signed a three-year contract."
------------------
On June 11, Lin Kedi has returned to Ajax's future training base and is now lying on the bed.
This week's journey has brought him and Janessa closer together.
Now it can be said that the two of them are relatively good friends.
On this day, Lin Kedi was fine and was preparing to go out for a walk in Amsterdam.
As a result, the phone rang.
Lin Kedi saw the unfamiliar number and hung up immediately.
Lin Kedi has received a lot of harassing phone calls during his one year in the Netherlands.
But a minute after I hung up, I called again.
It’s still the same number.
Lin Kedi thought to himself, you are so annoying.
So I hung up again and immediately unblocked me.
After a while, Overmars called.
Lin Kedi has his phone number.
"Hello, Mark——"
"Lin, did 3324-5678 call you just now?"
"It seems to be this number. What's wrong? Is it a scam call? Don't worry, I've blocked it."
"This is not a scam call, it is a call from our new head coach Ten Hag. He is calling the players one by one."
"Ah! Did the other players pick it up directly?"
"Other players have agents. The agents working in the Netherlands all know the phone number of the head coach of the Eredivisie team, so you can't do it without an agent. You need to find an agent as soon as possible."
"But——"
"Lin, please unblock immediately."
After Lin hung up the phone, he unblocked the phone and went back.
"Hello, I'm Eric Ten Hag. I didn't get through your phone just now."
As soon as the call was connected, it was Ten Hahe who spoke first.
Lin Kedi then explained the mistake, and Teng Hahe laughed it off.
Then the normal conversation started.
"Lin, the first thing I want to say is that I looked at the list of first-team players and you are the only one among the first-team players who does not have an agent. Although agents are often on the opposite side of the club, I, as the main player,
Coach, I still have to say that agents are very important to players, and I hope you can find one as soon as possible."
"Well, just now Mark, oh, the sports director also told me about this issue."
"That's good. The next thing I want to talk about is about yourself. First of all, you are a member of my plan and I hope you can stay. I know the team is talking about signing a professional contract with you.
Things. Second, what I want to tell you is that the team has signed a contract with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. If nothing else happens, he will be the team's main center. But what I can tell you is,
I play based on my condition, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
"If you, coach, only look at your condition, then I won't be worried."
Ten Hahe on the other end of the phone heard the young voice speaking so firmly, and his evaluation of Lin Kedi was even higher.
"Okay, the next time we meet is at the training base. I wish you a happy holiday."
------------------
"Frankie, I have something to ask you. Do you have time recently?"
"Of course, bro, you can find me anytime."
"Okay, then I'll tell you directly on the phone."
"I thought you were going to come out and say it - okay, you can say it on the phone, just say it."
"I want to ask about the agent."
"I understand, you don't have an agent, but hasn't anyone released you recently? You scored a hat-trick in the Europa League final, and people recognized you when you were in Mallorca. No agent is looking for you?
”
"Well, there really isn't."
"Are you living in the dormitory and not going back to your parents' house?"
"Yes."
"I remember you told me that you never answer calls from strangers."
"Yes."
"Then you definitely won't get calls from those agents."
"Frankie, I want to ask, who is your agent?"
"My agent Ali Durson actually asked about your situation, but I didn't tell you at the time. After all, I don't know if you would want to find a relative to do this kind of agent thing, but
What you said to me now, do you want to sign a contract with my agent?"
"I have heard before that Ali Durson is a very good agent in Dutch football. I think since he is very good and he is your agent, it would be best if he is willing."<
/p>
"Lin, now it's not a question of whether Ali is willing or not, but whether you are willing or not. Of course Ali is willing to sign you. After all, he has told me."
"That's great, of course I'm willing too."
"In this case, I will make an appointment tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Kedi didn't expect that finding an agent would go so smoothly.
The next day.
Hotel Seine Fontaine Amsterdam.
A French restaurant.
Lin Kedi had already arrived early, and after entering the door, he found that De Jong and his agent Ali Durson had already arrived.
"Frankie, you're here too early."
"It's okay. Ali said that if you want to ask for help, you should come earlier. Lin, let's chat. I happen to have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Wait until De Jong leaves——
"Let me formally meet you, my name is Ali Durson. Frankie and other players call me Ali."
"Okay, then I'll call you Ali too."
"In this case, how about we talk about cooperation?"
"Okay, I trust you in this aspect. After all, I have read your resume and you have signed contracts with many talents."
"So, do you also think you are a genius?"
"Of course."
"Very good, I like your confidence very much. If you want to play for an Eredivisie giant like Ajax, you must have confidence."
Obviously, Ali is very happy.
The two later communicated about some broker contract issues.
But this was the first meeting after all, so Lin Kedi kept the agent contract given by Ali, and then went to a law firm in Amsterdam and found a lawyer who specialized in sports and let him read it.
Check out this contract.
After paying a lot of money, Lin Kedi got "This contract is very good. Considering that you have only played two professional leagues so far, this agent contract, the agent you want to sign is obviously very good."
Comments like "I'm optimistic about you and want long-term cooperation".
So the next day, Lin Kedi signed a contract with Ali Durson.
"Lin, no, I'd better call you Ke Di, so it's more cordial. Ke Di, you said, the club wants to talk to you about signing a professional contract?"
"Yeah, Mark, and Edwin, oh, and our new coach Erik Ten Hag all told me about it."
"That's it, I understand. Leave the rest to me."
Chapter completed!
