Chapter 82: Xiao Luo has entered my destiny

Although Ronaldo is not the same as Ronaldo in the past, after several days of observation, Jose still saw some of Ronaldo's outstanding features.

For example, with that sense of ball, Ronaldo's ball control ability is quite excellent. Although his body is not strong, he is very stable. Even if he fights against the opponent's body, he will not be too inferior. At the same time, his excellent sense of ball allows him to observe more without putting too much energy on the control of the ball. This is also a talent, and a rare talent.

At the same time, Jose also observed that Ronaldo had a very broad vision on the training ground, and basically the running position of his teammates in the offensive season was in his eyes - it was indeed the Ronaldo who often used his pass to tease the defender in later generations...

"As long as you are real, I will have to take you away." Jose thought to himself.

Silva went on a very difficult journey. Ronaldo was the most optimistic Brazilian hope star in recent years. Although he failed to win the Olympics in the past summer, the Americas Cup champion and the Federation Cup top scorer have already made him famous in the world. Of course, such a player will not be easily let go by Gremio.

However, the situation that has almost no one cares about this year has made Gremio feel a little lack of confidence. Think about it, in the summer of 1999, Ronaldinho won the Copa America championship and the top scorer of the Federation Cup. Although he did not win the Olympic championship this summer, Ronaldinho also performed well. Such a player has been with Gremio for two and a half years but no one came to ask for the price - it hurts his self-esteem!

This reality also forced Gremio to wonder if the European clubs were trying to wait until Ronaldinho's contract expired before starting - you should know that Ronaldinho was only twenty-two years old at that time, and he was at the age of maturity.

Rather than being fucked in a mess after more than a year, it would be better to make a little bit now - it is not that Gremio is short-sighted, but when they face European clubs, they have inherent disadvantages...

Jose chose this time to come to Brazil, which was the right time to catch the right time. The winter breaks in other leagues will only start in January next year. Jose's action was one month earlier. Without competitors, Silva can better play his negotiating eloquence and characteristics.

At first, Silva bit four million and refused to give up, which made the other party almost fall in love with the price that he thought was insulting. Then he added up little by little. When it was added to 6.5 million, Silva refused to add it again, and the other party insisted that he would not give up, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

After two days of stalemate, Gremio began to soften his mouth and demanded a quota of 8 million yuan. This had already achieved Jose's expected goal, but Silva stole 500,000 from the other party and finally made a transaction with a transfer fee of 7.5 million US dollars...

Jose is very satisfied with this result. You should know that although Ronaldinho's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in history only cost 4.5 million yuan, Gremio, who was unwilling to accept it, was always entangled. In the end, he even claimed a training fee of up to $6 million from Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain actually paid more than 10 million yuan in transfer fees, and it was not until the 2001-02 season that Ronaldo was able to play in Ligue 1 first game...

It is precisely because of this that Jose would rather pay more now than avoid future disputes. Just taking out more money is nothing. If Ronaldo is unable to play in the second half of the season, Mallorca will suffer a huge loss.

You should know that in the second half of the season, Ronaldo is a very important piece on Jose's tactical level. If he cannot play, it will be much more serious than losing several million dollars...

Since we have done the club, the next thing we have to do is the player himself.

************************************************

In a cafe in Port Alegre, Jose met Ronaldo and his brother, who is also his agent Assis.

Assis is several years older than Ronaldinho. After Ronaldinho's father died of a heart attack when Ronaldinho was eight years old, Assis began to take on the responsibility of supporting his family. He was originally a player, and he also joined the Gremio club and was selected for the Brazilian national team. However, a serious injury caused him to lose the opportunity to continue playing. After that, Assis began to pin his hopes on Ronaldinho. After Ronaldinho signed with Gremio when he was sixteen, he became Ronaldinho's agent and took care of everything for him, just like his father taking care of his son - the elder brother is a father. This sentence has been best verified in Assis.

Jose knew that if he wanted to impress Ronaldo, he had to impress Assis first. He knew the relationship between Ronaldo and his brother. He should know that as a superstar, when Ronaldo became famous, when he was asked about his idol, he did not say it was Pele, nor did he say it was great players such as Galincha, Vava, Romario and Ronaldo. Instead, he said that his idol was his elder brother Assis. In his opinion, if Assis was not injured, he would definitely perform better than himself...

"Mr. Assis? Hello, I am Jose? Alemani, the technical director of the Mallorca Club." Jose reached out to Assis, a capable black man who seemed a little limping while walking - the sequelae of that serious injury - did not seem lewd at all.

Assis held Jose's hand and introduced herself: "Hello, Mr. Alemani, I am Assis, the agent of Ronaldo."

"Royce" is originally the abbreviation of Ronaldinho, and it is also a nickname.

"I'm very happy to see you." Seeing Assis and Ronaldo sit in front of him one after another, Jose noticed that Ronaldo first helped his brother, who was inconvenient to walk, and let him sit down, then he obediently sat on another chair.

"The relationship between these two brothers is really deep. Luo... respects his brother very much." Jose thought secretly in his heart.

Although he was thinking about things in his heart, Jose's face did not show any signs, but continued: "I came to Brazil this time to hope that Ronaldinho can join our team at the beginning of the winter break."

"Mallorca Club, right? We have also heard of the deeds of your club winning the League Cup last season." Assis nodded: "We know that your club has good strength, and we also think that your club is a good choice, but Ronaldo wants to know what your club is for him. You must know that he is already twenty years old and needs competition training."

"It's normal and a very reasonable requirement." Jose smiled slightly, then thought about it.

While he was thinking, neither Assis nor Ronaldo spoke, but waited quietly.

"First of all, in terms of treatment, we are planning to provide an annual salary of 800,000 US dollars and sign a contract for five years. The annual salary increases by 10% every year. In terms of portrait rights, advertising revenues with club participation, the club and the players each receive half of the advertising revenues. All the advertising revenues received by the players themselves are obtained by the players themselves."

Hearing this, Assis nodded slightly, he was quite satisfied with this treatment. Although Ronaldo, who had the highest annual salary in La Liga - Figo, who had just transferred to Real Madrid and Rivaldo who stayed in Barcelona, ​​was far from the same salary as five million US dollars. However, Assis also knew that his younger brother only had a certain reputation in South America and was just a newcomer in Europe. Compared with the salary less than 400,000 in Gremio, his salary has more than doubled. Besides, generally speaking, players' salary is closely related to transfer fees. In addition, players who transfer freely often get more salaries, players who transfer normally have an annual salary of one-tenth of the transfer fee, which is a relatively conventional rule in European football. Of course, transfers like Stankovic are different. After all, such veterans' transfers will not be too high.

The transfer fee of $7.5 million, 10% of which is the signing fee for Ronaldo (this was obtained by Assis for Ronaldo when he signed a professional contract with Gremio). With an annual salary of $800,000, Assis felt that there was nothing dissatisfied with it, but the five-year long contract...

"The contract seems to be longer." There is no opinion on the portrait rights Assis, Jose's conditions are very fair.

"You also know that Ronaldo is only in his early twenties. We don't want to train such a young player for two years and let him transfer freely after two years... What's more, for the players themselves, such a long-term contract can make his performance more stable and have no worries. Besides, if Ronaldo performs extremely well, we will not be stingy in terms of salary increase." Jose said with a smile.

After looking at his younger brother, Assis nodded when he saw Ronaldo, so he didn't get too entangled in this regard, and then looked at Jose again - what he wanted to know was not just treatment...

"As for the team's status... I think you should also know that Mallorca is a mid-range team, but we are very ambitious and hope to make the team's status higher. Therefore, an outstanding player like Ronaldo will definitely be reused. He will be an important offensive player in the frontcourt. As for whether he can become the core of Mallorca, it depends on his performance in the next few days. However, according to my observations in recent days, if Ronaldo takes up a main position, there will definitely be no problem." Jose replied.

"I am frank, you are just a technical director. I'm afraid only the head coach can decide on these things, right?" Assis said with a smile.

"Oh, maybe you don't know one thing - the head coach who won the League Cup last season was me." Jose pointed to his nose and said with a smile.

"Ah?" Assis was really stunned.

"Are you the unlucky guy who hurt his waist when he raised the trophy?" Xiao Luo blurted out his words, and then he realized that he seemed to be out of control. He hurriedly covered his mouth, looking at him at a loss.

Assis patted Ronaldo on the shoulder and told him not to be too nervous. Jose did not care, but shrugged: "Yes, I am the unlucky guy... My head job is a coach, and the technical director is just my hobby, and I believe that when the winter break comes, I am already the head coach."

Assis and Ronaldo smiled at each other, Jose said everything to this point, and they wanted to listen to it a little more deeply... Then they would be a little ungrateful...

"I think there should be no problem." Assis stood up and reached out to Jose: "As long as Gremio agrees, Ronaldo will not have any problems, right, Ronaldo?"

Xiao Luo smiled with two buck teeth, and said with a hint of shyness: "I? Of course there is no problem..."

Jose also stood up and held Assis's hand: "I must have no problem with this... I will be able to sign the contract tomorrow, and the contract will take effect on December 1st."

Looking at Ronaldo in front of him, Jose felt happy.
