189 Moji the old fox(1/2)

Updated: 2012-06-12

Monkey was still in Argentina to help Tang Feng inspect the players. Considering that he had to go over and meet him after the World Youth Championship, Tang Feng did not call him back.

This means that he will face Juventus's manager, the old fox Moji!

When Tang Feng thought of this, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

He knew very well that Moji's ability in the transfer market was definitely the first-class in world football. Can he gain a advantage in the duel with him?

If it were the otaku Tang Feng, the otakus before time travel, there would definitely be no hope. But now Tang Feng has been in the position of coach Betis for a year, participated in so many transfers, and dealt with many future or current great people, Tang Feng has obviously grown a lot.

Although Tang Feng, in terms of experience, can't compare with Moji, Tang Feng also has his own advantages, that is, the prophet!

He knew that Juventus would sell Zidane at the world's first net worth this season, and then he would buy players such as Buffon, Toulam and Nedved with the money he sold Zidane. He also knew that Van dersar would leave Juventus, and even Tang Feng knew Van dersar's worth.

It’s like you know the other party’s bottom line before the negotiation. If the negotiation breaks down, you can just be your own coach honestly in the future and don’t get involved in the transfer!

After understanding this, Tang Feng also gained some confidence in the upcoming meeting with Moji!

...

Turin, Italy!

Tang Feng is sitting in the private room of a business club!

Opposite him was a bald old man who was not very handsome and over 60 years old!

This bald old man with an exaggerated hooked nose is Juventus' club manager, Moji, who has been the "ruler" in Italian football for more than ten years and is known as the "king of transfers"!

Of course, those who don’t like him prefer to call him a despicable conspirator and a representative of the Serie A black forces!

As a time traveler, Tang Feng also knew that Moji, who is now in Serie A and even in European football, would have a miserable outcome in the future.

However, these have nothing to do with Tang Feng for the time being.

First, he doesn't care about coaching in Serie A, and second, Moji's claws have not yet reached his team.

On the contrary, Tang Feng came to buy someone today!

"I have heard that a young magical Tang in Spanish football has appeared. When we met today, we found that magical Tang is younger than on TV. It has achieved such great achievements at a young age. It really makes me, the old man, envious!" As soon as Moji sat down, he used some polite words to bring closer the relationship between himself and Tang Feng, which shows how skillful his social means are.

"Haha, Mr. Moji has been over the award. I am just a fledgling young man. However, Mr. Moji is a respected senior in European football! Mr. Moji was able to take time out to meet him during the transfer period, which really made me flattered!" He was so polite to others, so Tang Feng could not be rude. He also smiled and flattered Moji.

"Haha, everyone who has dealt with me, Moji, knows that my favorite thing is to make friends, especially friends in the football circle! I learned from the club that Shenqi Tang was coming to talk to us about the transfer issue, so I took the initiative to come to see you and then make friends with you, a young friend!" Moji was still smiling and haha, without any intention of entering the topic.

Obviously, as a "transfer expert", Moji knew very well that Tang Feng was going to buy players now, so he didn't need to take the initiative to raise it. In this way, the initiative will be firmly in his hands.

Tang Feng naturally saw Moji's intentions, and he also knew that he would only suffer if he continued to drag on, so he took the initiative to put forward his own ideas: "Mr. Moji, you must have known my purpose. We hope to get Van der Sar from your club. I wonder what your club's idea is?"

"Oh, my God. When the club told me that Fantastic Don was coming for Van der Sar, I thought they had made a mistake. It turns out that you really like Van der Sar? But sorry, Van der Sar is our main goalkeeper, and we don't have the idea of ​​selling him!" Moji said with a look of surprise.

What an old fox! If Tang Feng hadn't known that Juventus had basically reached an agreement with Parma before the transfer period and signed Buffon, he would have been cheated.

"Haha, Mr. Moji. I came to Turin with great sincerity. Therefore, I also hope that Mr. Moji can negotiate with the same sincerity. As far as I know, your club should have negotiated with Parma to introduce Buffon, right? Then Van der Sar may not be willing to stay at Juventus for the young Buffon as a substitute?" Tang Feng said with a mysterious smile.

Tang Feng's words immediately shocked Moji. Because although the outside world is now rumored that Juventus is interested in buying Buffon, because of Moji's low-key behavior, the news that Juventus and Parma are talking about Buffon's transfer should not be heard. So how did this young Chinese know?

Although he was surprised, Moji did not show it on his face. He smiled faintly and said, "Haha, Mr. Tang, don't believe the media's speculation. Although we are very interested in Buffon, Parma's offer for him is too high. We can't pay such a high transfer fee. Besides, Van der Sar is in good condition, and we are not in a hurry to introduce a new goalkeeper!"

Mom Xipi, it’s a pity that this old man doesn’t act. He is simply an Oscar-level actor!

No matter how good your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives!

No matter how good your acting skills are, I will know that I would have known it!

"Haha, Mr. Moji. You are so modest. As the best club in the world, how could Juventus lack transfer funds? Moreover, as far as I know, Zidane, the world footballer of your club, is going to sell it at a sky-high price, right? By selling Zidane's funds, let alone buying a Buffon, plus a Tulam, can you buy it?" Tang Feng also underestimated the transfer news that Juventus is still negotiating or not yet announced.

If Tang Feng mentioned Buffon's transfer news just now, Moji also believed that Tang Feng might have inferred from the news from the media. However, Tang Feng's subsequent words basically included some of the transfers that Juventus is operating.

Moji immediately put away his contempt for the young man in front of him and began to treat him as an opponent worthy of attention.

"Haha, Mr. Tang's news is really well-informed. You will know everything if you don't even have a transfer horoscope. Well, I admit that we are indeed fully acquiring Buffon. Van der Sar is not a non-sale product. Let me hear your thoughts first!" Moji finally admitted that he was about to acquire Buffon, but he still pushed the problem to Tang Feng.

"Mr. Moji. I am frankly frankly. Van der Sar is about to be thirty-one years old after all, and his condition has begun to decline. Otherwise, the club would not have spent such a big price to acquire Buffon. I don't know how long it can last for such a veteran. I think four million US dollars should be a very reasonable price, right?" Tang Feng said with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Tang! Is this what you mean by sincerity? Edwin is the best goalkeeper in the world. Although he is over thirty years old, his condition is still very outstanding. Moreover, he is a very professional player, and his professional life will definitely be longer than that of ordinary players. If we didn't want to miss Buffon, a genius who was rare in a century, we wouldn't be willing to let Edwin go!" Moji shook his head and said.

"Mr. Moji, although what you said is reasonable, the status of a player is hard to say. For a player, thirty years old is a hurdle. If you can't overcome this hurdle, you will have to retire. I'm taking a big risk to spend four million dollars to buy a veteran who I don't know how many seasons he can play!" Although Tang Feng also agreed with Moji's statement, and he also knew that Van der Sar's professional life was indeed very long, during the negotiations, he had to open his eyes and talk lies.

"Mr. Tang, your words are good. But I believe that many clubs are willing to take such risks for Edwin, the best goalkeeper in the world, are willing to take such risks!" Moji's meaning is very obvious. If Van der Sar only sells for four million US dollars, there must be more people who want to buy him!

"Are many clubs really interested in Van der Sar? As far as I know, the scandal between the club and Buffon has been circulating for so long, and it seems that few clubs have expressed their interest in Van der Sar. When the news of Buffon's transfer to the club is truly announced, Van der Sar's departure has become inevitable. Even if a club wants to acquire him, I guess he can ask for a price?" Tang Feng also shook his head and said without giving in at all.

"Mr. Tang, aren't you asking for the price on the ground now? In my opinion, instead of letting you ask for the price on the ground alone now, it's better to let multiple clubs come together to 'take the price on the ground'. This will definitely be much higher, right?" Moji also did not give in. His meaning was that as long as he released the news of selling Van dersar and attracted competition from several teams, Van dersar's value would definitely increase a lot!

"Competition may indeed increase the value of players, but the increase will probably not be too far from the player's time and value! Two years ago, the club bought Van dersar and spent 10 million US dollars. Van dersar was twenty-eight years old at that time, and he was in his prime, but now he is over thirty years old. If the club wants to recover the cost of that year, it would be unrealistic!" Tang Feng said calmly.

Tang Feng's continuous active attacks made Moji a little passive. The reason was very simple. Some time ago, he also asked the club to tentatively release the news of the sale of Van der Sar. However, this news did not attract much attention from the team.

Basically, several mid- and downstream clubs tentatively quoted prices. These prices were even less than the four million US dollars that Tang Feng had quoted!

In other words, Van der Sar is really not attractive to other clubs, at least to giant clubs.

And if it is a mid- and lower-stream club, how many clubs are willing to buy a goalkeeper who looks outdated?

"Mr. Tang, I have to admit that you are a very outstanding negotiator. However, we have our own bottom line. We will never accept the price of four million US dollars!" Moji said firmly.

"Okay, I'm willing to pay an extra million USD! Five million USD, how about it? A 30-year-old veteran is dealing with half of the discount, which should not be considered a loss, right?" Tang Feng knew that he should make appropriate concessions!

"Five million? It's still too little. Edwin is a world-class player at least. As you said just now, our Zidane is also a player in his thirties. Can't he still sell high prices? Then why can't Edwin sell prices that match his strength? You are disrespectful to Edwin!" Moji argued with reason.

"Haha, Mr. Moji. I am frankly speaking, can Van der Sar's influence really be compared with Zidane? The reason why Real Madrid is willing to pay so much transfer fee is not only because of Zidane's strength, but also because of his superstar appeal? Just relying on Zidane's golden signboard is enough for Real Madrid to make a fortune in commercial operations. And Van der Sar... can he bring us something off the court?" Tang Feng would not let Moji change his concept.

"Okay, I admit that Edwin and Qi Zu really can't compare. I am willing to make certain concessions in price, at least 8 million! This is our limit! If such a price is too expensive, the club can't accept it, we can only terminate the negotiation!" Moji took out his trump card and finally set the price!

Judging from his momentum, it seemed as if Tang Feng did not agree with his offer, so there was no need for this negotiation to go on!

In fact, for Tang Feng, eight million US dollars, which is equivalent to about five million pounds, was already his previous psychological expectation. After all, Van der Sar did sell this price in history!

However, the previous consecutive confrontation with Moji did not show any loss, which made Tang Feng's confidence burst. In his opinion, this should not have really reached Moji's bottom line! He also believed that an old fox like Moji could not have expressed the bottom line when he first quoted!

Thinking of this, Tang Feng also said in a tone that was not inferior to Yu Moji: "The maximum is six million! This is also our limit! We are just a new team, unlike a wealthy club like a club, who can often use tens of millions of funds in the transfer market. I have to bear a lot of pressure on buying a player over 30 with six million!"

Seeing that Tang Feng was not inferior to his momentum at all, Moji immediately looked at Tang Feng a little higher.

You should know that looking at European football, even if some experienced managers are unable to take the initiative in front of them, the young man in his twenties can stick to his bottom line.

Is it because they can only afford so many transfer fees, or is it that he is confident that he can bargain with himself?

Moji's eyes, which were as sharp as an eagle, stared at Tang Feng tightly, trying to see something from his eyes.

Feeling Moji's sharp gaze, Tang Feng's psychological pressure was self-evident, but he knew that he would never give in at this time, otherwise all the previous negotiations would be wasted!

Seeing Tang Feng looking at him openly, he had no intention of giving in. Moji believed that perhaps the Betis Club only gave Tang Feng such a high budget.

However, as a "transfer expert", what he is best at is to squeeze out the surplus value of the players. Although Tang Feng's quotation of 6 million US dollars has basically met his expectations, he still pretended to be reluctant to give up and said: "The conversation with Mr. Tang today is very speculative. In this way, I am good at making a little concession. Mr. Tang, you take a step back. We will give in to a mid-price of 7 million US dollars. How about it?"

Seeing that Moji gave another price of one million, Tang Feng was so excited, but he restrained his emotions. If he accepted his price without saying a word, wouldn’t that prove that the limit of six million he mentioned before was fake?

Therefore, Tang Feng also pretended to be hesitant. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll make my own decisions. It's only seven million US dollars, and the deal will be made!"

"Okay, the cooperation is pleasant, Mr. Tang! Next, you need to talk to Edwin about personal treatment. You know, if he is unwilling to join your club, we can't force him!" Moji said with his right hand.

"Happy cooperation, Mr. Moji! We will have a good talk with Van der Sar!" Tang Feng said, holding Moji's right hand.

...

After saying goodbye to Moji, Tang Feng suddenly felt relieved.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that he had sweated a lot behind him. This shows how much pressure was when he met Moji just now!

It can be said that if he makes a concession at any place he shouldn't have given up, he will give up his initiative completely. Then, Tang Feng might have to spend eight million or even ten million dollars to deal with Van dersar!

Now, it only costs seven million US dollars, which is nearly one million US dollars lower than the historical price of Fulham's acquisition of Vander Sar. This shows that the negotiations with Moji are definitely a success!

Tang Feng suddenly felt very accomplished when he actually took advantage of his negotiations with Moji!

But he soon calmed down. He knew very well that he had only reached half of the transfer. If Van der Sar himself failed to get the consent of him, his previous negotiations would obviously become useless!

...

After resting in Turin for a night, Tang Feng flew to the Netherlands without stopping. Van der Sar is a man from the Gu family. After the holiday, he usually goes home to accompany his wife and children!

Before going to find Van der Sar, Juventus had already become angry with Van der Sar.

In fact, Van der Sar had long learned that Juventus was about to acquire Buffon.

He obviously knew that the club had spent such a large sum of money to buy Buffon for him as a substitute. Similarly, he was less than 31 years old and was unwilling to be a substitute for a young goalkeeper in his early twenties!

Therefore, leaving Juventus to find a new owner has become his only choice!

These days, his agent has also helped him find his next home!

However, most of the ideas of these clubs are very similar to those of Lopela.

How long can a goalkeeper who is about to be 31 years old?

In addition to which team is in trouble with goalkeepers and needs to find a goalkeeper to respond in the future, which wealthy club is willing to hand over the position of the main goalkeeper to such a veteran?

You should know that the giant teams are already facing more choices in the transfer market.

Moreover, as a veteran who is almost thirty-one years old, Van der Sar's value is not low!

Therefore, Van der Sar's agents almost hit walls everywhere.
