Football’s First Defender

"Mr. Advocaat! What do you think of the performance of the young central defender Yang Feng? Will he become the regular main force in the next game?"

"Mr. Coach! Do you feel that the tactics of yourself and your opponent Gasayev in this game are a bit conservative?"

"The last goal, was the team's set-piece tactics rehearsed in training, or was it the free play of the two central defenders and Arshavin?"

"coach……"

"Reporters, please be quiet, I also need to answer each question..."

Advocaat is still in a good mood after completing the pre-match goal, at least the undefeated post-match press conference!

………………

After the game was over, Yang Feng not only felt extremely tired physically, but also mentally!

Although before the game, I kept telling myself in my heart that this is just an ordinary league game, but this is the national derby of Russian football today. With more than 80,000 spectators watching and booing, I played football. For Yang Feng, it was really a different experience!

"Fortunately, everything is over! The merits and demerits are balanced, and this game can be regarded as an explanation!"

What Yang Feng wants most now is to fly back to St. Petersburg as soon as possible, return to his bed and have a good sleep, so as to completely relieve his physical and mental fatigue!

"Hey, Yang Feng! Do you have a manager?"

"Just before getting on the plane, my agent called, because he knew that you were brought up to the first team right after entering the youth team. He wanted to ask if you had an agent, or was looking for..."

On the flight back to St. Petersburg, Arshavin deliberately found Yang Feng who was resting with his eyes closed on the plane, and talked with Yang Feng about the manager's problem!

"Mr. John Smith is definitely a qualified agent. He can solve all off-court problems for you, so that you can devote yourself to the game with peace of mind. You may consider meeting with him for a detailed discussion!"

"I don't have an agent yet, but I need to think about it first, Andrea. After all, I need to know more about the agent. I will call you when I think about it. I'll talk about it then!"

"Alright then! Yang! But I believe you understand that in professional football, a good agent will make your career go more smoothly!"

Arshavin just came here to help his manager with a message, the decision is of course in Yang Feng's own hands, and it's not easy for him to persuade him too much!

"John Smith? It's not a very famous agent, but I remember that he seems to be pretty good with his wrist!"

In Yang Feng's memory, this Arshavin's agent did have several good transfer operations, such as Arshavin's transfer to Arsenal, and Adebayor's transfer to Manchester City!

But what impressed me the most was the rumors. It is said that Arshavin's successful transfer to Arsenal in the end all depended on John Smith's decisiveness at the last moment. When Arsenal and Zenit still had a price difference of 1.2 million pounds on the last day of the transfer window, in order to achieve this transfer, John Smith paid the 1.2 million fee out of his own pocket, so that Arshavin could finally win in the winter. Join Arsenal before the window closes!

He even said that Zenit did not want to release people in the final confirmation stage, and wanted to play "fax machine accident", which is the first version of the fax machine accident between Real Madrid and De Gea. It was also John Smith who personally went into battle at the last minute and confirmed the transaction by email. Yes, after the official confirmation by both parties, there are only 8 seconds before the transfer window closes!

Of course, everything is a rumor, whether it is true or not, maybe only the person concerned knows it in his heart. All the media who make fun of Yangzi need is a reason worth reporting! As for the authenticity of the incident, for the sake of sales, they don't care!

However, it was precisely because Arshavin completed the transfer that winter and joined the Arsenal, otherwise, how could Arshavin, who had been in the Russian Super League for a while, rely on the big four at Anfield to let the world know this Russian player? What about the "tsar"!

"But? Do I really need an outsider to plan my career for me?"

After Arshavin left, Yang Feng himself fell into thinking. Yang Feng really didn't think about the agent before, or he didn't have time to think about it.

You must know that some agents can indeed help players to achieve extremely successful careers!

For example, the famous agent Mendes, he and Ronaldo are a typical example of mutual achievement!

On the one hand, Mendes used Ronaldo's influence to expand his team of players, especially a large number of Portuguese new-generation international players, and some talented players from all over the world trained in the Portuguese Super League!

On the other hand, Mendes took advantage of the opportunity of the transfer of his players to get acquainted with the leaders of the major European giants and accumulated a large number of contacts. Otherwise, how could Ronaldo switch from Real Madrid to the old woman so easily and happily! Compared with the benefits of Ronaldo staying in the team, even if it is the sales of jerseys sold as a mascot in the end, do you believe that Real Madrid will really let Ronaldo go for the transfer fee?

The water behind is too deep, involving the interests of all parties.

But Mendes is definitely the most important force among them!

Moreover, Mendes also cooperated with Chinese capital, allowing a large number of international-level players, and even the well-known coach Nuno, to join the Wolves who are still in the British Championship as a whole. The combination of capital and agents has created a British Championship. The bug in Wolves. And after being promoted successfully, in the new season, he will become a killer of a wealthy family, which also belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League! It is said that the Wolves still have a longer-term goal. Yang Feng felt that the Wolves in his previous life might cause seven heroes to compete for hegemony in the Premier League!

Just like the Blue Moon Manchester City back then, it successfully changed the inherent pattern of the Premier League!

However, some agents, for the sake of the so-called commission, will provoke the relationship between the player and the club in various ways, so that the player can continue to transfer!

Behind every frequent transfer player in football, there may be such a vampire! These agents only have money in their eyes, and they don't care about the player's career, nor the player's transfer, whether he will go to a suitable team, or whether he can play. Such a transfer without a bottom line can sometimes ruin the rising period of a player's career.

Of course, there are also many players who choose to hire family members as agents in order to save the so-called agent commission!

The family members of these players will have insufficient professionalism and personal connections, but as long as the players themselves are strong enough and have their own ideas about their careers, it is actually not impossible! Such as Neymar's transfer! It is said that his father provoked all kinds of dissension, but what is a family? If Neymar himself did not agree, do you think his father would jump around like a clown?

For Yang Feng now, the agent is really dispensable! It's not bad for the broker's commission, but it seems useless to have a broker.

First of all, there is no need to worry about the economic situation of Yang Feng today, so the so-called various salary negotiations are not important to Yang Feng! Salary is just a symbol of one's status, and there is no need to really care about the specific amount!

And what about your football career? Yang Feng also has his own clear plan! You don't need your agent to make suggestions for yourself, and you don't need your agent's personal connections to make your way!

And most importantly, the manager is an outsider after all, and Yang Feng actually hates having such an outsider intervene in his life! What if you get acquainted and cheat yourself!

As the old Chinese saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others! In case it is like Baoqiang, Qingqing Grassland, then I am thankful!

"Hey, let's contact Andre tomorrow and refuse his manager's request to meet!"

Yang Feng has already made up his mind. He decided to follow the example of some superstars and directly find someone he knows to act as his manager. It will be safe and worry-free, and he will not be taken advantage of by others!

"Just let Liu Yue apply for a broker's license! From now on, husband and wife will work together! Men and women will not be tired from working together!"

"Well, that's it. It seems that the manager requires you to know a few foreign languages. Anyway, if you are a master, if Chinese, English and Russian are not enough, let's continue to learn!"
