Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

The rise and fall of Croatian football is inseparable from football in the former Yugoslavia.

Dinamo Zagreb, now a Croatian giant, did not win its first championship in the former Yugoslavia until the early 80s. At that time, the Yugoslavian teams were crouching tigers, hidden dragons.

The "founding father" of Dinamo Zagreb is named Blazevic. He coached in Switzerland and won championships, and came to Dinamo Zagreb to start a dynasty of local rule.

He had a close personal relationship with Croatia's first president. In 1998, he led Croatia to win the third place in the World Cup in France, making him a national hero.

When he left Dinamo Zagreb to coach the national team, the power vacancy at Dinamo Zagreb was taken over by his fellow countryman Zdravko Mamic.

Mamic started out as a businessman during the civil war in former Yugoslavia, and became even more prosperous in Croatia after taking the initiative to befriend Blazevic.

This man acted domineeringly. In order to become a director of Dinamo Zagreb, he chased and beat up another director. When the traffic police wanted to tow away his illegal Jaguar, he almost hit the traffic policeman to death with his car!

Dinamo Zagreb's ultra-fans organization is like his army.

To this day, his control over Dinamo Zagreb is pervasive. His brother is the agent, so one can only imagine what they will do.

He is like a father to young players, treats older players as brothers, and has unusual social skills.

of course.

Shen Hao didn't understand this.

There are always hidden and complex relationships between clubs around the world.

If every transaction is thoroughly investigated beforehand, it will only make people exhausted and lack efficiency.

There were so many things he didn't know.

Even the Croatian Football Association wants to delegate power to Mamic.

It's as if Mamic is the underground emperor of Croatian football.

As night fell, Shen Hao had no intention of browsing the night view of the Croatian capital.

Looking for the address of the hotel, Shen Hao and his group of nine people and three cars arrived near the hotel one after another.

A car stopped at the intersection and a car stopped opposite the hotel. Three people got out of the car and walked into the hotel. Two people met them in the hotel lobby.

Shen Hao took four people into the hotel.

The two of them followed him into the elevator, and the two of them took the stairs to the fire escape on the floor to wait for instructions.

If Shen Hao wants to escape from here, the eight bodyguards who came have already arranged his departure route.

Shen Hao knocked on the door with two bodyguards.

The man who opened the door was a burly man, big, bearded, a bit Mediterranean, wearing a cheap tight vest, he was obviously a thug.

Shen Hao walked inside and saw four men sitting in the living room of the suite playing cards.

After seeing Shen Hao arriving, they all stood up.

The oldest man seemed to be in his 50s. He was wearing short-sleeved shirts and trousers. His decent appearance made it easy for him to tell the story at a glance.

"Welcome, Leeds Tyrant, I like the title given to you by the media. Let me introduce myself, Zdravko Mamic. On behalf of Dinamo Zagreb, I welcome you."

The other person has an impeccable smile and a passionate attitude.

Shen Hao shook hands with the other party.

"Thank you for the invitation. Can you let me see my people first? I haven't seen them for a few days. I miss them very much."

Mamic smiled: "They're good."

One minute later, Chen Hao and Chris Jones walked out of the bedroom, both wearing only trousers.

Shen Hao originally thought that they had been forced to take off their shirts, but unexpectedly, two voluptuous girls came out from behind them. They looked okay, mainly because of their explosive figures and the distinctive features of Eastern European women.

"Uh, Brother Hao, it's just a massage."

Chen Hao had to explain.

He and Chris Jones did not suffer any crime. Apart from restricting their freedom, they had everything they wanted to eat, drink and have fun.

But he and Jones knew very well that it was okay to eat and drink.

Play?

If you can really play with it, then it can be considered as being heartless and reaching the maximum level.

Shen Hao felt relieved, took the initiative to sit down on the sofa, crossed his legs, took out a cigarette, threw one to Mamic, and lit it himself.

"You want to see me? I'm coming."

Mamic also sat down, lit a cigarette, and looked at Shen Hao across the coffee table.

"Aren't you curious?"

"There is nothing to be curious about. If you want to talk business in this way, then just talk. After all, the world is not just about clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and AC Milan."

Mamic looked at Shen Hao in surprise.

The Chinese young marshal was calmer than he imagined.

"But Dinamo Zagreb is the Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan of Croatia. Only when Dinamo Zagreb thrives will Croatian football flourish."

"I'm not interested in that."

"Then let's talk about something that interests you. Modric used to herd sheep in the village when he was very young. The war forced him and his family to flee to Croatia..."

"Save it, the family backgrounds of countless football stars in the world, before becoming famous, are mostly a history of blood and tears, and maybe human tragedies. If you want to say that he is obedient to you, he will only do it if you nod. Leaving Dinamo Zagreb is actually very simple. You just want to get the maximum benefit from him. I can accept it and let's talk. If you can't accept it, we will break up. Modric is gold, you can't Maybe keep him in Zagreb forever, but if he doesn't, you can be his godfather for the rest of his life, at least so that he doesn't have to herd sheep or be frightened by the sound of gunfire."

Mamic was silent.

The atmosphere seemed a little tense.

Shen Hao actually knew very well that in the worst case, he would not buy it.

Will there still be people who buy and sell by force?

No need.

Mamic suddenly burst into laughter.

"I kind of like you. Before Leeds United offered Modric, I really planned to do what you said, but after Leeds United offered Modric, my mind changed because of you."

"It seems that I didn't have any interaction with you before today."

"Yes, but Leeds United's name has been very popular in the past year. It is England's dark horse miracle. China Capital only used less than 2000 million pounds in two years to achieve a tenfold increase in value!"

Shen Hao frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "You want to cooperate with me?"

"No, I won't let you or Chinese Capital penetrate into Croatia. It's just that I studied the development trajectory of Leeds United in the past two years. I found that you are a discerning person. The old veteran can usher in a second career at Leeds United. In the second spring, you were the first to discover a talent that so many wealthy clubs in Europe had not discovered.

Lennon, who cost 2000 pounds, is the legacy of Leeds United's youth training, but Ribery, who is now asking for 6000 million euros, is what you took away from Turkey.

There are also some unheralded players in the Leeds United squad who have also generated considerable income for you when they left this summer.

I'm curious how you do it. "

"Outside the five major leagues, Ribery will never be worth 6000 million euros. The value of a player is related to his environment."

Shen Hao's implication was to tell Mamic.

If he thought Modric was a rare commodity, he was wrong.

If you want to sell it for a sky-high price, the Croatian league does not have this condition.

Unless it's...the Croatian national team.

But the national team stage is not as stable as the league after all.

Mamic finished smoking his cigarette and took out another cigar. He tried to hand one to Shen Hao, but Shen Hao shook his head slightly.

Mamic clicked it himself and no longer reserved it at this time.

"I know it's impossible to get Leeds United's secrets from you, so let's talk business frankly, Modric, my psychological price is 3000 million euros."

Shen Hao smiled.

Prepare to stand up and say goodbye.

Mamic raised his hand to persuade him to stay.

"You won't pay 3000 million euros, and I know that, but you can exchange it for something equivalent to 3000 million euros."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Hao said: "If you think Modric is worth 3000 million euros now, the basis for the so-called equivalent exchange does not exist."

Mamic smiled and said: "He will be worth at least 3000 million euros in the future, so you can also exchange it for something that can reach the same value in the future."

"what do you want?"

"You have a pair of vicious eyes, but Leeds United's requirements for players are getting higher and higher. You can reject Veron and Crespo, but you are willing to spend money to introduce Modric. 1000 million euros is completely enough for you to support a top star. , but you didn’t do that, I can say with certainty that in your mind, the height that Modric can reach in the future will at least be equal to Ribery’s current value.”

Shen Hao didn't change his expression, but in his heart he shouted that he had run into an old fox!

"Don't waste time."

Mamic took a long drag on his cigar, tilted his head and blew out a large cloud of smoke.

"You can take away Modric, but leave me 10 names, Croatia's undiscovered stars. These stars are definitely not yours, but they are always worth the attention of the top European league teams. When they land in the top flight, they will leave a valuable legacy to Dinamo Zagreb."

Shen Hao smiled and shook his head slightly.

"10 names? You overestimate Croatian football. Even if some players land in the top league, they only get the lowest salary. They are actually dispensable. Value? If it weren't for their cheapness, who would buy them in the top league? They? If you want to spend a lot of money to buy people in Croatia, why not buy local players with household registration? Why is the top league the top league? Because at least they are the traditional powers of European football, and they have the strongest ability to breed stars!"

Mamic fell silent again.

After a while, he sighed: "Then how many names can you give me?"

"Excluding the players that Dinamo Zagreb already has, in fact Dinamo Zagreb has gathered the best player resources in Croatian football. I can only give you three at most."

"8."

"Player resources are not mass-produced on the production line. They are nurtured by the times. In some eras, talents are withering, like Germany during this period. In other times, talents are abundant, like Italy who won the World Cup this year. Do you want me to say a few words? Can you give me a random name?"

Mamic's face darkened slightly.

"Now that you have talked about this step, it means that you don't want to give up the opportunity to introduce Modric. Therefore, you should let me feel your sincerity. With Leeds United's favor, Modric will quickly enter the recruiting horizon of European giants. , one year from now, two years from now, even if Leeds United pays 3000 million euros, you may not be the only one facing Dinamo Zagreb."

Shen Hao remained calm, but sighed softly in his heart.

Mamic is cunning.

He was right.

Shen Hao didn't take Chen Hao away directly because he didn't want his trip to be in vain.

I really don't want to miss this opportunity.

He said solemnly: "Okay, I show my sincerity. Each of the four names will bring at least 500 million euros in benefits to Dinamo Zagreb in the future, and the total will be at least 2000 million euros."

Mamic took out a notebook and pen and gave them to Shen Hao.

Even if the people present are his own people.

But when it comes to interests, he still remains cautious.

Shen Hao opened the book and wrote four names on the blank page.

He did do some homework on Croatian players because of the introduction of Modric.

I want to see if there are any treasure-level players in this country that have not yet been discovered.

Although there are no players who can meet Leeds United's development requirements, he can be sure that the names he wrote in the book will become an important part of Croatian football in the future if they develop smoothly and there are no surprises in their growth.

Mamic took the notebook back, opened it and glanced at it.

Mandzukic, Kalinic, Vida, Subasic.

These names are not unfamiliar to him.

Because they are all local Croatian players, playing in their home league, but not Dinamo Zagreb players.

If Dinamo Zagreb introduces them, trains and polishes them, can they be considered by top European league teams in the future?

Mamic didn't know.

He is gambling.

But at least Shen Hao could write down these four names on the spot, which is enough to show that Shen Hao did not fool him.

If you wait until Shen Hao leaves before giving him a name.

He would certainly have strong suspicions.

Mamic put away his notebook and smiled at Shen Hao: "I hope this is a win-win cooperation. How about having a meal together? I heard that you are also a playboy in England. I will find some Croatian models to liven up the atmosphere. "

Shen Hao stood up, shook hands with the other party, and said with a smile: "No, there are still many things to be busy with during the summer transfer. I'm in a hurry."

Chen Hao and Chris Jones have already dressed, picked up their luggage, and their passports that were withheld have been returned.

Mamic personally sent Shen Hao and his party outside the hotel building.

"I know you also have a stake in a team in Portugal. If you are interested, you can come to Croatia and invest in a team as well. We can become better partners."

Shen Hao laughed.

"I have no interest in Croatian football unless it's Dinamo Zagreb."

"Maybe there will be an opportunity in the future."

"Then let's talk about it in the future."

Shen Hao took Chen Hao and Jones into a car, and they were in two cars when they left.

After 5 minutes, the third car left.

Chen Haoren was fine, but he looked guilty at the airport.

Things didn't get done, they were messed up.

Shen Hao ignored him and sent a message to Xiao Zheyuan at the airport.

After he finished sending the message, he said to Chen Hao: "I'll go back to England, and you go to Switzerland to find someone. If Modric's transfer is officially announced, you can contact that person again."

"Brother Hao, I..."

"Don't worry, some places don't follow the rules and are beyond our control."

"it is good."

In the evening, Shen Hao returned to England and chose to stay in London for one night.

Wait until the next day to return to Leeds.

The next morning, Portimão Club made an offer for 17-year-old forward Perisic from Croatian club Hajduk. The offer was only 20 euros. After some wrangling, it became 30 euros and the deal was completed.

Modric arrived in Leeds for a medical examination and successfully completed the signing.

On the day of the official announcement of joining.

Leeds United have made an offer to Swiss club Basel for young Swiss-Croatian midfielder Rakitic.

Offer 300 million euros!

Mamic was busy trying to collect the four names given to him by Shen Hao.

It was only after I regained consciousness that I discovered something was wrong.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the name Shen Hao gave him.

But after Leeds United signed Modric, they targeted young midfielder Rakitic. At the same time, their satellite club took away 17-year-old Perisic from Croatia!

Mamic realized that this was Shen Hao's revenge!

He is poaching Croatia's star of hope in advance!

If Leeds United can use it, Leeds United can dig it up.

If Leeds United doesn't like it, the satellite club will go and dig it!

Although there is suspicion of extermination.

But besides being angry, Mamic also laughed and praised Shen Hao for being ruthless!

He is truly a Leeds tyrant!
