Football coach

"Wesley, I'm sorry to interrupt your honeymoon."

"Nothing. Did something happen?"

Sneijder looked at his agent in surprise.

Wesley Sneijder.

After the end of last season, only 21-year-old Sneijder decided to get married.Sneijder got married on June 6, and it is only half a month now.After getting married, the Sneijders came over for vacation, which was considered a honeymoon.

His own agent knows this.

Even the itinerary of this vacation and the hotel of the vacation are all completed by his own manager.Sneijder would not return to Amsterdam until the team assembled.There should be nothing wrong during this time.

And even if something really happened, now that communication is so developed, all you need to do is make a phone call.Why come here in person.Sneijder's agent is Guido Albers, who is not very old, but in his 40s.

Not very famous.

It should be said that these agents in Dutch football are very low-key.

Among the agents who call the wind and rain in world football, Dutch agents are always invisible, and in many cases they are not seen at all.Compared with the notorious agents in English football, South American football, and agent predators like Mendes, the Dutch agent is really very low-key.This is mainly because the Dutch agents are relatively closed, and the players they represent are mainly Dutch players, and they do not get involved in too many players from other countries.Even many players who play in the Eredivisie, Dutch agents rarely get involved, so it seems that they are not well-known.But it doesn't mean that the Dutch brokers have no strength. On the contrary, they are low-key, but they have great strength.

Because of the strength of Dutch football and the strength of Dutch players, their agents actually have strength.

Guido Albers is such an agent.

It seems that he is unknown in European football, and he doesn't appear in front of the media very much, and he can't be seen in the sensational transfer of European football.But in Dutch football, Guido Albers is not bad.Such as the De Boer brothers and Van Bronckhorst, they are all players represented by Guido Albers.For now, Guido Albers values ​​Sneijder the most.

Because this is another talented player that Ajax has cultivated.

And it is a player who has not left the Netherlands.Such a talented player will have countless plasticity in the future.

"A team offers you an offer."

"Guido, you should know. After Raphael (Van der Vaart) decided to leave, **** came to me. I hope I can stay. And coach Blind also said that he is willing to build around me next season. The team. You also agree that I will stay at Ajax next season, thinking that it is not time for me to leave the Netherlands."

Ned was puzzled.

Ajax changed a lot in 2005.

The original Ajax head coach Koeman left the position of Ajax head coach because of the UEFA Cup loss to Auxerre.Danny Blind, who succeeded him as head coach, was not very fond of Van der Vaart and preferred Sneijder.

Moreover, Ajax had an agreement with Van der Vaart long ago and would let Van der Vaart go.So Van der Vaart will leave Ajax this summer.Ajax has also lost many good players in the past two years, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic who moved to Juventus last summer.

So the top executives approached Sneijder, hoping that Sneijder could stay in Ajax.And Danny Blind also assured Sneijder that next season, that is, the 0506 season, Ajax will build a team around Sneijder.The respect for Sneijder is beyond words.

Guido Albers also believes that the current Sneijder should continue to precipitate.

After all, although Sneijder has performed well in Ajax in the past two seasons, when everyone talks about Ajax, they only talk about Van der Vaart.Van der Vaart is the representative of Ajax, and Sneijder can only live in the shadow of Van der Vaart.

So Guido Albers believes that Sneijder should create his own era in Ajax.Then after accumulating fame and accumulating more experience, he left Ajax.So in the past two years, it's not that there are no offers for Sneijder, but Sneijder never took it seriously.

Now his agent ran over in person, which made Sneijder very puzzled.

"But things have changed."

Guido Albers sat down.

Looking at the most talented player in his hands, he said seriously: "Yesterday afternoon, West Ham United in the Premier League made an offer for you."

"West Ham? The newly promoted West Ham?"

"Correct."

A miracle for a newly promoted horse to win the championship.

This is a big event that has caused a sensation in the entire European football world.If it was normal time, Sneijder would not have time to care about the Premier League.For the Premier League, Sneijder at most knows the strong teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Of course, apart from knowing the name of *** and some of the team's core superstars, Sneijder may not know many of the main players of these Premier League teams.Because everyone belongs to different leagues, they are too busy analyzing their opponents in time, and the **** control the affairs of other leagues.

Sneijder's understanding of the Premier League is not as good as that of Chinese fans.

But West Ham was too legendary last season, so Sneijder reacted immediately.It is the newly promoted and legendary team that caused a sensation in the entire European football world.

"They want to buy me?"

"Ah."

Guido Albers nodded.Then he said: "I haven't met the head coach of West Ham. But their head coach has expressed to me through an intermediary that he appreciates you very much. He thinks you are one of the best frontcourt attackers in the world, very It suits his team and suits his style of play very well. He is willing to train you to be the core of West Ham's attacking frontcourt."

"The Chinese coach?"

"Correct."

Ned is still very happy.

Chen Ping has become the most famous young marshal in European football by virtue of the miracle of winning the championship by virtue of his newly promoted horse.The limelight overwhelmed all the young marshals.Now hearing Chen Ping's praise, Sneijder is of course happy.

"But......"

Sneijder hesitated, and said to his agent: "You know, Aja

Kex over there..., and Coach Blind too?Besides, I'm not sure how the Premier League is going to be. "

The news came too suddenly.

Sneijder was not mentally prepared.Sneijder never thought of leaving Ajax this summer, and the Premier League is very strange, so Sneijder hesitated.

"Ajax, as long as West Ham can pay enough money, then Ajax has nothing for sale. As for Danny (Blind), it's not that I underestimate him, he doesn't have the ability to be a head coach, It’s not bad to be an assistant coach to Ronald (Keman). If he didn’t express his willingness to establish you as the core, I don’t want you to stay in Ajax.”

Guido Albers despised Blind very much.

A rookie coach, just because he was appreciated by Cruyff, and he is a famous Ajax player.That's why he was able to successfully become the head coach of Ajax.But his level Guido Albers is not optimistic at all.

"As for the Premier League, it is indeed a strange league. But the reason why I come here personally to tell you that this time is different. It is because I have carefully collected information on West Ham, learned about West Ham, and carefully studied their coach. You know Is it? West Ham center Lambert, who is currently in high demand for the Ballon d'Or, was eliminated by several clubs in England four years ago, and can only play in the amateur league. But after four years of training by West Ham's young coach There is even a chance to compete for the Ballon d'Or. There are many young players like West Ham. There is Ribéry, who is known as the 'successor of Zidane' in French football, and he was only in France three years ago. A player in the amateur league. But now he is already the best left-sided player in the Premier League, and his evaluation in the Premier League is even higher than that of Robben."

A qualified agent must conduct the most meticulous analysis of the places where his players may go.

That was the case with Guido Albers.

He has been studying West Ham since the offer from West Ham.Through his own contacts, he collected almost all the information that could be collected.Although Sneijder has heard the story of West Ham, he is not familiar with the specific situation.

Now hearing that Lambert, who scored more than 60 goals in a season and was very popular for the Golden Globe Award, could only play in the amateur league four years ago, he opened his mouth wide.Sneijder made his debut in the Ajax youth training camp and was a talented player since he was a child. He really can't understand this kind of thing at all.

"Also, do you think the miracle of the newly promoted West Ham coach winning the championship is legendary? In fact, this coach is a legend. He just became the head coach four years ago, and he led a team in the fourth tier of England. He coached In the first season, he led the team to win the league championship of the fourth tier of England and was promoted to the third tier of England. Then he led the team to win the championship of the third tier of England again in the second year and was promoted to the third tier of England. In England's second tier league. Then he moved to West Ham, which had just been relegated, and led West Ham to the English second tier league title and was promoted to the Premier League. And in England's second tier league, he also led West Ham to the The English League Cup champion won the UEFA Cup place. As for the results after the Premier League, you also know. Last season, he led West Ham to the Premier League championship, the English League Cup championship, and the UEFA Cup championship. This is the young West Ham Four seasons of coaching."

Ned couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Because in Sneijder's view, such a result is simply a myth.It's only been four seasons since its debut, but it has accomplished so many achievements.Such legends can only be seen in mythology.I didn't expect such a fairy tale to exist in reality.

"And the young coach of West Ham is very interesting. He publicly stated last season that he wanted to win the Premier League championship, which was ridiculed by many people. But the result is that he really led West Ham and completed the miracle of the newly promoted team. He said that his players can win the championship. Now Lambert is one of the players with the highest calls for the Ballon d'Or. Do you know what he said at the celebration ceremony for the Premier League champions last season?"

"what?"

"He said that West Ham's goal this season is to win the Champions League. But do you know? Although some people scold him for overreaching, many media are looking forward to whether West Ham can still create miracles."

Ned was dumbfounded.

The young coach of West Ham turned out to be such an arrogant coach.But combined with his resume, I think he is really a legend.Maybe it can be realized?Hearing this, Sneijder understood why his agent came here in person.

West Ham is a very special team, and the head coach of West Ham is a very special coach.The head coach of West Ham is a coach who can turn everything into gold, this is a coach who can win championships.

For a player, being able to meet a good coach is definitely the most important thing in his career.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Coach Chen Ping expressed through an intermediary that he wants to meet with you in person. I also think we should meet with him. After all, rumors are rumors. What is the reality, we should meet in person."

"Is there any problem with meeting in private?"

"Don't worry about this. Do you know how much West Ham quoted for the first time? 1200 million pounds, which is about 1800 million euros. Their first quotation has already reached the price in ***'s mind. The team didn't directly refuse. When I came to you, I heard that representatives from West Ham had come to Ajax. This shows that the two sides have almost reached a tacit agreement on the transfer fee, and now the only thing left is The last bargain."

Ned smiled wryly.

Sneijder originally thought that Ajax would force him to stay, and felt that he had a high status in Ajax.Unexpectedly, just after West Ham made an offer, Ajax's attitude was already ambiguous.

However, Sneijder was very satisfied when he heard that West Ham had offered such a high price.

Dutch players have transferred over the years, and the transfer fee has not been high.This has a lot to do with the decline of the Eredivisie.Last summer, two super talents left the Dutch League in the Eredivisie, one was Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Ajax and the other was Arjen Robben of Eindhoven.The two are not only well-known geniuses, but also participated in the European Cup and performed well in the European Cup.But how much is the transfer fee.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's transfer fee to Juventus was only 1600 million euros, and Robben's transfer to Chelsea was only 1200 million pounds.

But West Ham's first offer was £1200 million.

I heard that the Premier League are all upstarts, and the Premier League teams are all rich, which is true.Since West Ham is so sincere, and Sneijder has also begun to be interested in West Ham.Mainly interested in the West Ham coach.

As for whether to go to West Ham, you should meet with the West Ham coach first.Ned immediately made a decision.

"I'll talk to Ramona about the situation here first, and then I'll meet Coach Chen Ping."
