As Yang Cheng's status in the club improved, his office was also treated as redecorated. Although it still looks quite simple, at least it is much more advanced than when he first came, and there are computers and other things.

Yang Cheng sat on the sofa in the office, surrounded by Paul Baier and the frowning Werner Mercedes.

As the vice chairman of the team, Werner Melze's responsibility is to operate the team according to Yang Cheng's wishes. Yang Cheng has already said that except for the players who have decided to leave the team, all other players must stay, especially Barack, Peron, Nedved and Gattuso, who valued the most.

But it is one thing for him to stay, but it is another thing for him to stay.

"Two days ago, Peron's agent Mascati called the club in person. He made it clear that Peron wanted to sign a brand new contract. In terms of salary, they demanded three times the current one, and also required a signing fee of $1.5 million." Werner Merzer said indignantly.

"Are he stupid?" Yang Cheng cursed with a sneer.

Paul Bayer also felt that this requirement was too disastrous. "Perron's salary has always been the highest level in our team. After entering the Bundesliga this season, we began to renew the players' salary. Perron performed well in the Bundesliga last season, and the salary increase was higher than that of ordinary players. They should be very satisfied!"

"The unsatisfied vampire, if he is still so stubborn, then don't worry about him!" Yang Cheng said decisively.

How could Warner? Mercedesch smiled bitterly, "It's so light. I responded to Mascati before, but guess that the club received two quotation faxes yesterday, one from Lazio and the other from Sampdoria. They all hope to get Perron."

Speaking of this, Mercen spread his hands, "Mascati is the strongest football agent in Argentina today. Since the 1980s, when South American football has become increasingly close, he has risen rapidly. Almost most Argentine stars have come to Europe through his hands because he is one of the few licensed agents recognized by FIFA."

"I have heard of him, and I heard that I have a wide connection in Serie A and La Liga!" Paul Bayer also felt a headache.

The relationship between players and agents is complicated, just like Veron. He currently has many things handled by his father, but when he encounters international transfers, he has to use Mascati, because only he handles them can Veron be qualified to transfer internationally.

Yang Cheng naturally didn't know that the reason why Mascati was so tough this time was that he had not contacted Mascati directly with his father and son, breaking Mascati's rules in Argentina football and suffered certain losses, so this time Mascati wanted to win back.

"There is no room for negotiation?" Yang Cheng still hopes to make money with kindness.

Even Ferguson and others have no choice but to compromise with the agent, otherwise if the agent is really in trouble, it will be of no benefit to anyone if the agent encourages the player to make a transfer.

Merzer shook his head, "Beron's contract renewal started after the end of last season. It has been more than a month since then, and there has been no progress. In addition, the league is approaching, so they are going to force us to compromise on this matter."

The Bundesliga will be held earlier than other leagues, and the League Cup event is indeed the end and Kaiserslautern refuses to give in, Mascati is likely to incite Peron to rebel and cast his team.

Yang Cheng has also experienced this common trick. In the transfer market in his previous life, countless people have used it, and even more despicable ones are.

"How is Mascati?" Yang Cheng suddenly asked.

"A very strong and domineering agent. After years of operation, other Argentine agents gradually faded out of the football circle, but he followed the trend and became an Argentine football boss. At the same time, because he is one of the few agents in Argentina who holds a FIFA-approved agent certificate, and he has a great influence in Italy and Spain, the players dare not offend him."

The meaning of Mercen's words is very clear, that is, I hope Yang Cheng understands a reality. Perron may be grateful for Yang Cheng's keen eye and his cultivation, but in front of the strong Mascati, Perron seems extremely weak. As an Argentine player, Perron is very clear about the consequences of indicting Mascati.

So, when Kaiserslautern and Mascati start a war, even if Peron is reluctant, he will switch to Mascati's camp because he must rely on Mascati.

South American football is so chaotic. Many players have a lot of agents, but in fact most agents are working for a very small number of big-name agents, such as Brazil's Ferger, Argentina's Mascati, etc.

In contrast, Mendes, who was known as the world's number one agent in 2010, is still in a downturn and wondering where to go!

As a time traveler in his previous life, Yang Cheng knew at most about some things related to stars, but he knew very little about the agent field, so compared with Mercedes, who has been living in the Bundesliga for many years, he still lacks information.

"Mascati is a very cunning guy. He has connections that other agents cannot match in European football. But at the same time, everyone knows that he is a cold-blooded vampire and tyrant. Even the top leaders of European clubs who deal with him know this very well, but they still have to choose to cooperate with Mascati because they want to get the Argentine geniuses in his hands. The only thing they can do is to try to avoid going on the old path of Cruyff!"

"Cruyff?" Yang Cheng was puzzled by Mercedes' words, "What's the matter with Cruyff?"

Melzer smiled slightly, and when he saw Paul Bayer, he seemed to have no idea about this secret, he immediately became interested.

"You should know Cruyff's resume, right?" asked Melzer.

Yang Cheng nodded. If he didn't know Cruyff's resume, he really didn't have to stay in football anymore.

"He went to the United States after leaving Barcelona and became teammates with Bekenbauer. In 1981, he returned to the Netherlands from the United States and joined Ajax, who had cultivated him since childhood. However, during his time with Ajax, due to the overall sluggish team and Cruyff was not young, his performance was difficult to satisfy. In 1983, Ajax refused to renew his contract with him on the grounds of expensive wages and frequent injuries. Cruyff turned to Feyenoord in anger!"

"During Feyenoord's play, Cruyff showed his final glory and led the team to the Dutch League championship. However, he also regretted defeating his favorite team. After a season, he chose to leave despite Feyenoord's resolutely. He did not rejoin Ajax and became the club management in 1985!"

"Do you know what happened in the past year?" Merce asked with a smile.

Yang Cheng and Paul Bayer looked at each other and immediately had the urge to kill him.

This man has a gossip spirit in his bones and a gene that wants to explore secrets. Even Yang Cheng is no exception. What's more, this secret is related to Cruyff, so he has to understand it even more clearly.

Feeling Yang Cheng's almost murderous look, Melce immediately laughed proudly. He rarely saw Yang Cheng begging for such a request, so he felt very proud.

"Cruyff and Barcelona have a close relationship. During Maradona's play for Barcelona, ​​Mascati and Cruyff knew each other. It's hard to say who played for cooperation first, but after Cruyff chose to leave Feyenoord, he chose to cooperate with Mascati."

"One of the two is the world's top star in the past and the other is an Argentine football tycoon. The two sides hit it off and developed a "Argentine Football Global Strategy". Their purpose is to use Mascati's star resources in Argentina, coupled with Cruyff's connections in Europe to actively operate Argentine stars to come to Europe, and then influence the world!"

"Cruyff and Gustavo established an agency company, becoming the link between Argentine football, European football, and even the world football. Cruyff swore that he had seen the dawn of success!"

Speaking of this, Meltzer shook his head and sighed with a wry smile: "In fact, Cruyff's words are not exaggerated. Although he failed and even boasted about Haikou when we look back now, almost everyone believed his words at that time. Almost everyone felt that their plans were seamless, and even they had very thought-provoking arrangements and plans for the development of Argentine players in Europe."

"The whole of Europe is watching, looking forward to Cruyff bringing out a second Maradona from Buenos Aires, but it's very miserable. He failed. No one knows what happened here, but the relationship between Cruyff and Mascati turned against each other. He even revealed in a conversation that Mascati betrayed him!"

"But Mascati did not admit that he thought he had made an appropriate decision at the right time. It was because Cruyff was stubborn and did not know how to adapt. However, no one knew what news there was!" Melzer shrugged and said helplessly.

In the mid-1980s, the media at that time were generally not as developed as it is now, and the information was seriously lagging behind, so many things were not known, let alone the secret of cooperation between two major football players, Cruyff and Mascati.

"What after that?" Paul Baier asked with relish.

"After that, Cruyff returned to Europe in a disheartened manner. At that time, many people in Europe advised him to go to Brazil. Ferger also expressed interest in cooperation with Cruyff, but Cruyff gave up this idea, accepted Ajax's recruitment, became the club's technical director, and embarked on a successful coaching path!"

"However, after Cruyff's plan failed, Ferger learned from it. Seeing that Brazil's domestic economy was poor, he withdrew from the "player export strategy" and sent some stars who were already well-known in Brazil to Europe to make room for the newly born rookies to form an effective star circulation system."

"Those Brazilian stars transfer to Europe, on the one hand, create opportunities for domestic rookies. At the same time, once they make a name for themselves in Europe, they can bring continuous benefits to Brazil, attract Brazil to cultivate batches of young rookies, and then form an orderly digestive system to ensure the sustainable development of the Brazilian football system. This is Brazil's global strategy!"

After hearing this, Yang Cheng suddenly thought of the reason why Brazilian football is called "Huang Huo" by the world football in the next few years.

By 2011, Brazilian players could be seen in the football league of almost any country with a slightly more developed economy in the world. They often represent typical examples of quality and low price. However, even if they supply the whole world, Brazil's domestic football talents are still endless.

From this point of view, he could imagine how perfect and forward-looking the Brazilian global strategy system established by Ferger and others was. At least the development of Brazilian football is probably inseparable from the influence of this system.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but admire Ferger and others. At least in his opinion, smart agents should not only know how to extract benefits from players, but also know how to make profits for players. Therefore, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and others respect Ferger and praised him as the godfather of Brazilian football.

Of course, it’s not that Ferger is great to sacrifice himself for others. At least in his previous life, De Nielsen switched to Real Betis, and Ferger was obviously blinded by interests, but this cannot cover up his contribution to Brazilian football.

"What happened to Mascati later?" Paul Baier found that Mertzer was getting further and further, so he quickly pulled the topic back.

"I went into business. At that time, the domestic economy of Argentina was not like now. At that time, the economy of Argentina was soaring and the trade scope expanded to the whole world. Therefore, many football practitioners, including Mascati, have turned their backs on football and went into business. Because in their opinion, it is better to do business legitimately than to work hard to earn gray transaction income. In addition, the interpersonal relationships they established when they were engaged in football have made them gain a lot of money in business."

"Mascati is a well-known domestic rich man in Argentina. If it weren't for the recent downturn in Argentina, he would have established and expanded his agency company again. I'm afraid he would have left this circle long ago. However, after making a lot of money outside and returning to the football circle, Mascati's ambition has also become bigger. He used to collect a small portion of the commission and could no longer satisfy him, so he specialized in buying and selling players' ownership, and the commission commission on player contracts has also increased from the general 10 to 15, and some have even reached 25, which has caused the players to complain!"

"Isn't anyone rebelling against him?" Yang Cheng suddenly thought of something.

Merce shook his head and smiled, "Resist? How to resist? Almost most of Argentina's FIFA licensed agents work in his company, and the players can resist him? Besides, with Mascati's relationship and network in Europe, players will inevitably be a little afraid."

Yang Cheng thought it was right. The agent was equivalent to the spokesperson of the player. The relationship between the two was very close. If they were not aware of the truth, the player would not simply entrust his image rights and other powers to the agent. Moreover, they usually choose familiar ones, preferably domestic.

This is why Brazil has Ferger, Argentina has Mascati, and Portugal has Mendes in the future.

Speaking of this, the three people in the office suddenly became quiet, because Paul Bayer also began to realize that this time his opponent was so difficult, no wonder even Meltzer could do nothing.

As for Yang Cheng, he was suddenly touched some memories in his mind by Merce's words, and vaguely remembered something, pursuing it in his memories, so he didn't say anything for a while.

"How is it? Have you figured out a solution?" Merce asked with a wry smile.

Paul Baier shook his head in distress, obviously he had no choice but to deal with Mascati.

Both of them immediately looked at Yang Cheng, who was frowning and thinking hard. After nearly a minute, they suddenly started to laugh.

"Is there a way?" Merzer and Paul Baier asked in surprise.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Yes, I think the best way to do so at the moment is to ignore him!"

"What?" The two of them suddenly lost their voices. Is this a way?

Yang Cheng smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Werner, since Mascati wants to blackmail, he will definitely not rush to instigate the players to leave. I will have a good talk with Peron. Even if he can't give me any guarantee, at least I can stabilize him for the time being. If I don't say anything else, I still have this confidence!"

"As long as we temporarily stabilize Peron, we will slowly deal with Mascati!" A sharp look flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes.

He is now beginning to understand why so many head coaches are reluctant to face their agents later. If Yang Cheng cannot teach Mascati a hard lesson this time, he might have to make repeated blackmails in the future and eventually become inertia. Wouldn't he have to compromise again and again?

"If a mosquito wants to suck some blood on my body, I will slap him to death without hesitation. Maybe I will lose some blood, but I will never see this mosquito again in the future, and other mosquitoes will be dispersed and avoided!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

After leaving Yang Cheng's office, Merce looked puzzled and couldn't figure it out along the way.

"Paul, do you think he really has a solution?" Mercedes asked cautiously. After all, Peron's affairs are big or small.

Paul Baier smiled and said, "Don't worry, since Yang Cheng said he had a way, there must be a way. I have always been very confident in him. I have never seen anything that can bring him down, so you just need to do what he said."

Mercen smiled nervously, but when he thought about Yang Cheng's since joining Kaiserslautern, there seemed to be nothing he could not do, so he felt a little expectant.
Chapter completed!
