Chapter 58 The Tower of God(1/2)

There is a widely circulated saying in the field of scouting. You can recognize him in three minutes by watching a genius playing football!

If it was not seen with your own eyes, it would be difficult for anyone to understand the meaning of this sentence.

Football is a sport with few goals, and each goal is like the result of a combination of countless factors. If any of them is deviated, it may lead to a missed goalkeeper's goal frame.

Therefore, when scouts inspect a player, especially a striker, it is impossible to judge whether he scores or not. However, there is indeed a type of striker, who can let you see at a glance that he is a genius, just like the player Ye Qiu is examining at this moment.

Since Malmo suffered a crushing defeat from Swedish Premier League last season and was relegated, his performance in the Swedish League One this season has been greatly fluctuating and not very ideal. Especially this season, the Swedish Football Association reorganized the League One and integrated the League One, which originally divided into 14 teams in the south and north into the League One, which was a 16 team, the competition became more intense, resulting in Malmo's ranking in the League One after 10 rounds of games.

The winter in Sweden is snowy and ice, so their leagues usually range from April to November, so in June, it is a critical moment when all teams are in the form.

Malmo is no exception.

When the game reached the 27th minute, Malmo's Danish midfielder Pete Sorensen passed the ball and passed the ball into the penalty area of ​​his opponent's Altvidaburg. At this time, teammates had already responded in the penalty area.

A tall man wearing a No. 18 jersey used his body to hold the tall and strong defensive player behind him. His right foot was facing the ball, and he stopped the ball to his left, then pressed the defender with his body, turned around calmly, swung his right foot high, and shot vigorously.

The ball immediately came out from under his feet like a shell, and entered the goal with lightning speed.

"Zlatan! Zlatan!! Super Zlatan!!!"

All Malmö fans stood up from their seats and shouted loudly, cheering and applauding the 18-year-old Swedish young player and applauding his wonderful goal.

Ye Qiu sat in the stands and witnessed this wonderful goal by Ibrahimovic, and he had to applause.

Wonderful, refreshing, but...

"How is it, Roland?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Roland sat next to Ye Qiu and looked at him in a daze. After hearing Ye Qiu's question, he shook his head, "Oh my God, his body is too strong, and he is very agile, so tall, so strong and agile, it's really good!"

"I'm talking about living under my feet!" Ye Qiu cursed.

Roland smiled and marveled, "It is rare for a big man to have such a footwork."

Ye Qiu said to himself, of course, can anyone Wenger likes to be inferior?

Ibrahimovic is already well-known now. He went to Arsenal in 1997 to try out, but it ended up badly. He also went to Ligue 1, Serie A and other teams for trial, but in the end he was left by Malmo, who was very talented, and has been left until now.

Malmo was downgraded to Class A this season, which also gave Ibrahimovic the opportunity to play as a main player. The Swedish big man performed well, scoring 4 goals and 2 assists in the first 10 rounds. It was very good for an 18-year-old rookie.

"Strictly speaking, that pass just now cannot be considered an absolute goal opportunity!" Ye Qiu commented on Ibrahimovic's goal just now, "Sorenson's pass was blocked at that time, but he stopped the ball to the left and used his body to suppress the opponent's central defender. He successfully turned around. After that, he swung his right leg and hit it. The whole movement was done in one go without any stagnation. It can be seen that his technical skills are very solid!"

After staying in Ajax's youth training camp for a year, Youdao was influenced by his experiences and Ye Qiu's observation of the players was also very meticulous.

"However, this player's personality is too pursuing ostentatious. He turned around and swung his legs and deliberately made such a big shot. He deliberately shot such a powerful shot. This looks very pleasant and is also pleasing to the eyes of the fans. But if he encounters the urgent defense of the experienced central defender, there will be no chance of this shot!"

If you carefully study the shooting movements of Fanny and Van Basten, it is not difficult to find that their legs swinging are very small, but they can make quick shots with a small amount of legs swinging, which is very important for a striker.

To put it bluntly, the longer it takes to swing the legs, the longer the defense time left for the opponent and the greater the risk.

Roland looked at Ye Qiu in disbelief. He suddenly felt that he didn't know Ye Qiu anymore.

From a simple shooting move, you can actually figure out the character of the player and give a way to correct it. From these details, you can easily see Ye Qiu's progress, which also gives Roland a sense of crisis, because he knows that if Ye Qiu keeps improving and he is standing still, he will be eliminated sooner or later.

"Why are you watching me?" Ye Qiu was a little furious when Roland stared at him.

Roland smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, I just think you're very polite to say something now."

Ye Qiu himself didn't feel this way, nor did he care, "I heard that he trusted Haas Borg very much!"

Haas Borg is Malmö's general manager and the agent of Malmö players.

"Then he will suffer a big loss!" Roland shook his head and smiled bitterly.

There are some things that Ajax can't interfere, such as the matter between Ibrahimovic and Haas Borg.

Ye Qiu found Haas Borg long before the game. After a series of negotiations, the final price was set at 3 million euros, which was higher than Ye Qiu's previous expected price, but Ajax did not suffer.

Introducing a player is a bit like buying a car and paying for the purchase, but it is just the beginning, and car maintenance also requires a fee.

The same is true for players. The transfer fee is equivalent to the purchase price of the car, but there are salary and bonuses immediately following it.

Therefore, when every club introduces players, in addition to calculating transfer fees, they also have to count their salary. This is the cost of introducing a player.

According to the traditional practice of all European teams, if the cost of signing a team is fixed, the higher the transfer fee of a player, the lower the salary. The higher the salary, the lower the transfer fee. The most typical example is that players who transfer freely often get high salaries, which is the reason.

Ye Qiu remembers it very clearly that Real Madrid introduced Di Maria in his previous life, and the transfer fee was very high, but Di Maria's salary was very low. What is the reason? It is because Mendes was able to get a generous commission from the transfer fee!

Now, the same is true of what Haas Borg wants to do!

During the negotiations with Ajax, Haas Borg said that his players do not have high salaries, as long as Ajax's lowest salary is 3,500 euros per week, but he has to ask for a higher transfer fee, which eventually reached 3 million euros.

Ajax has no way to interfere in this matter, because Haas Borg has the power to represent Ibrahimovic with plenipotentiary power. Unless Ajax does not introduce this player, he can only talk to Haas Borg.

In the end, Ye Qiu agreed to Haas Borg's request and introduced Ibrahimovic for 3 million euros.

This is really quite high for a player in a Swedish second-level league team, but for Ajax, it is nothing different, because the contract lasts for 4 years, which is equivalent to transferring the reduced salary to the transfer fee.

The neutral Ajax did not suffer any loss, Haas Borg made a big profit, and Ibrahimovic suffered a big loss!

"Then let him suffer a loss, as if he was to buy a lesson!" Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed.

The reason why Ibrahimovic's transfer to Ajax in his previous life was that he entered the national team, and that Wenger's second pursuit of him in early 2001. Of course, there is also a very important aspect that Haas Borg deliberately lowered his salary and raised his transfer fee.

The more this happens, the more Ye Qiu feels that many agents are really short-sighted. I'm afraid Haas Borg is now talking about it for himself, but he never thought that he missed a god-given opportunity to make money.

…………

…………

Many people say that agents are robbers. The difference is that some people have the same principles as robbers. If you do things well, you should take what you should do and don’t rob others. But some people are like bandits, regardless of whether they are their own or not, they will want them anyway.

Everyone who has done business with Haas Borg knows that he is the latter, but he is very good at disguising himself as the former.

As early as 1997, when Ibrahimovic had just made his name, Haas Borg decided to sell him. At that time, he looked for four or five teams in the five major leagues, the most famous of which was Arsenal. However, these teams either offered too low prices or asked for trial training. In the end, none of them agreed and brought the players back to Malmö.

Trial? Stop kidding!

When a player is in Sweden, he is controlled by him. He believes whatever he says and does whatever he wants. But once he comes into contact with the outside world and understands the environment of European football, who still believes in him?

In Haas Borg's view, Ibrahimovic was just a fool from Rosengard and an immigrant family. What's even better is that this fool's parents were divorced and he didn't even care much about him, so he let Haas Borg do it freely.

Becoming Ibrahimovic's close friend and even becoming a family member who cares about him is one of the means for Haas Borg to handle the players. At least as early as 1997, Ibrahimovic, who had agreed to Wenger's trial invitation, finally repent because of his words.

Three years have passed, Ibrahimovic played the main player in Malmö and performed well, but because the Swedish League One is not well-known in Europe, this tall and handsome Swedish God Tower did not attract the attention of mainstream European leagues.

So, when Ye Qiu came to Ajax on behalf of the door, Haas Borg knew that the opportunity had come.

For $3 million, he finally negotiated the price with Ye Qiu, and the two sides signed an agreement.

Now, he looked at the boy in front of him who was so excited that his adrenal glands surged, and he smiled kindly.

"I talked to them for a long time. I learned a lot about Ajax. I also specially asked my friends in Amsterdam, Netherlands to learn about the current situation of Ajax. Finally, I finally confirmed that Zlatan, they really need you!"

If he is an unaware of the situation, he will definitely be moved by Haas Borg's words and thinks that he is a kind elder who is full of responsibility and takes good care of his younger generations. This is indeed the image he has established in the past few years.

"Really?" Ibrahimovic laughed.

"Look at the transfer price, 3 million euros, my Zlatan, you are the highest price transfer this year in Ajax so far. If they are not optimistic, will you offer such a high price for you?"

"Hehe, thank you, Uncle Haas!" Ibrahimovic was very grateful.

"Look at the bottom, this is your salary!" Haas Borg pointed to the bottom of the contract, which clearly stated that the weekly salary before tax was 3,500 euros, which made Ibrahimovic's eyes widen.

"Oh my god!" he shouted in disbelief, "This...this salary is 4 times that of mine now!"

Haas Borg smiled and nodded, "Yes, my Zlatan, I finally got the price for you. This is also very high in Ajax team, and I have always known your thoughts, so as long as you pick up the pen and sign your name here, then after arriving in Amsterdam, you will get a signing fee..."

Ibrahimovic looked up and looked at Haas Borg with anticipation, his eyes full of eager hope.

Haas Borg knew exactly what the child was thinking in front of him and smiled, "...a Mercedes-Benz!"

"Oh, Mercedes-Benz!!!" Ibrahimovic cheered loudly.

Haas Borg looked at Ibrahimovic and sneered in his heart. A country boy who has never seen the world is so easy to cheat!

"Okay, my Zlatan, for your monthly salary of over 10,000 euros, for your Mercedes-Benz, come on!" He put a pen heavily in front of Ibrahimovic.

The latter looked at Haas Borg. After getting Haas Borg's nod, he seemed to be encouraged. He picked up the pen and signed his name directly on this contract that he might not even see clearly.

"Thank you, Uncle Haas, I really, thank you very much!" Ibrahimovic said very movedly.

"Don't thank me, Zlatan, this is what you deserve. When you arrive in Amsterdam, remember to perform well and try to make your own world in Ajax. I will be proud of you in Sweden!"

Ibrahimovic walked over, hugged Haas Borg heavily, and left the office of the general manager Malmo.

Along the way, he was thinking about Ajax, the upcoming Eredivisie, and many more. He fantasized that if he could really become a successful professional player in the future, he must thank Uncle Haas, because without him, there would be no Ajax trip today.

After leaving the club office, Ibrahimovic took out his cell phone, pressed a few numbers and dialed it out.

He wanted to convey this happy good news to his parents, but before the call was reached, he pressed it off again.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been almost alone, taking care of himself and being with football. His mother is very busy and rarely sees his game and training. His father has never watched his game and rarely even trains. He is a poor man who still lives in war and relies on alcohol to numb himself.

Finally, Ibrahimovic put his phone back in his pocket and sighed softly.

It was a very pitiful thing to encounter something that was worthy of happiness, but no one could share it with him.

Just when Ibrahimovic was in a low mood, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

I took it out and saw it, it was a text message from a strange number.

"One goal was great, but I think you can do better, especially in a lot of details!" The signature at the bottom of the text message was [YEQIU], which made Ibrahimovic stunned at first, and then thought of it.
To be continued...
