After signing Diego Milito, Tang Feng was basically at ease with the team's forward line.

Although he left Adriano, the team's top scorer in the first two seasons, Villa, Drogba and Milito in the team are all forwards with their own characteristics, and they are all top European strikers in the future. Tang Feng believes that the three of them can definitely share Adriano's goal data.

In addition, last season, Betis' overall attack power in the midfield and frontcourt was very excellent, and the attack points were relatively scattered. Among them, Kaka, Robben and Joaquin all scored a lot of goals in two events. This season, Tang Feng also decided to continue to encourage this style of play, so that midfielders could share the team's scoring responsibility!

After Argentina signed Diego Milito, Tang Feng and Monci rushed to Belgrade without stopping.

Belgrade was successively the former Yugoslavia, now Serbia and Montenegro, and the capital of Seville in the future.

As the capital of Serbia and Montenegro, the city of Belgrade also has an excellent football tradition.

The city has three teams in the Serbia-Black League, among which Belgrade Red Star and Belgrade Guerrilla are the two giants in the Serbia-Black League.

Today, Tang Feng and Monkey’s target is Belgrade Red Star!

This former Yugoslav football overlord also had a history of dominating Europe. In the 1990-1991 season, the Belgrade Red Star team once won the Champions League trophy that symbolized the highest honor of European football and later the Toyota Cup!

From the former Yugoslavia League to the current Serbia League, they have won 22 championships in 55 seasons and occupy a dominant position!

Among them, in the 1990-1991 season, the lineup of Belgrade Red Stars is definitely a star-studded one now!

At that time, Yugovic, Prosineski, Mikhailovic, Savicevic and Pantev in their team were all the best stars in European football in the future!

Unfortunately, with years of turmoil in the country and the economic downturn, a large number of outstanding players began to flow out to other leagues, including the Red Star of Belgrade, the Serbia-Bergrade, and the Black League clubs gradually lost their competitiveness in the European arena.

Even a giant team like Belgrade Red Star has fallen to the point where it relies on training young players to sell them to mainstream European league clubs.

Moreover, because they are not prominent in European competitions, their players are not able to sell relatively high prices like Dutch teams.

...

The person who received Tang Feng and Monkey was Mianovich, the general manager of Belgrade Red Star.

After a greeting, Tang Feng also directly explained his purpose: "Mr. Mianovich, I'm going to tell you that we are here in Belgrade this time to introduce your club's central defender Nemania Vidic!"

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Mianovic did not show any surprise expression on his face.

First of all, he naturally understood that the coaches and managers of La Liga champion clubs like Betis came to them specifically, and they were definitely not here to travel or visit, they must have liked their players.

Then, Mianovic also understood that there are only a few people in Belgrade's Red Star Formation that can be targeted by mainstream European leagues.

Among them, Vidic, a young central defender who has played for two seasons of Belgrade's Red Star team under 22 years old, is undoubtedly the most eye-catching player.

This young central defender performed very well in the Serbia-Black League. He not only performed very aggressively on the defensive end, but also frequently used headers to help the team score goals on the offensive end. He is the tough central defender that many teams will like!

"Mr. Tang's vision is indeed good. Nemania is now the decisive needle in our team! Moreover, the national team coach has already taken a fancy to him and is preparing to recruit him into the national team. His future must be limitless!" Mianovic did not directly get into the topic, but praised Tang Feng's vision first.

"Haha, Vidic is indeed a central defender who is expected. However, introducing him is also a gamble for us. As we all know, La Liga is the world of skilled players. La Liga teams also generally like to play on the ground, and the forwards are mainly speed or flexible technical players. Although Vidic is in good health and beautiful air defense, when facing a speed striker, his weakness of turning slowly may be infinitely amplified. If it weren't for the lack of a tall central defender in our team,

We are actually willing to continue to investigate Vidic. "Tang Feng naturally understood what Mianovic meant. Although he was praising his vision on the surface, he was actually praising Vidic's talent and strength. Therefore, he also pointed out some of Vidic's shortcomings and expressed his attitude. In fact, Vidic is not necessarily suitable for La Liga. He also took a lot of risks when introducing Vidic. If it weren't for the team's defense line's poor air defense capabilities, they would not have rushed to introduce Vidic.

Mianovic has been in the transfer department of Belgrade Red Star Club for nearly ten years, but he obviously didn't expect that the coach, who is younger than many players, would be so sophisticated at the negotiating table!

However, Mianovic cannot admit defeat, otherwise he will be in a completely passive position in the negotiations.

"Haha, Mr. Tang said something that makes sense. We also think Neymania is more suitable for going to the Bundesliga or the Premier League. In fact, there are several Bundesliga and Premier League teams who have expressed their interest in him now." Mianovic's beautiful Tai Chi move resolved Tang Feng's picking just now. His meaning is also very obvious. If you think Vidic is not suitable for La Liga, then forget it, anyway, there are other teams who are interested in him.

Tang Feng also had to admit that the manager in front of him was a bit difficult to deal with. However, he had also learned about it before. Although Vidic is quite famous in Serbia, he is not very popular in the entire European range, otherwise he would not have waited until 2006 to enter the mainstream European league.

Therefore, Tang Feng was not very anxious. He smiled and replied: "Well, we actually think Vidic is more suitable for the Premier League or the Bundesliga. If his personal wishes are the same, we cannot force it. There is a saying in China that is called 'Forcing Melon is not sweet', which means that some things cannot be forced."

Tang Feng's calm appearance immediately made Mianovic a little depressed. He originally thought that Betis was in a hurry to solve the problem of air defense on the back line and could take the opportunity to get a high price. After all, the financial situation of the Red Star Club in Belgrade is not very good. It can be said that as long as the price is appropriate, there is no non-sale product in their team!

There are teams who come to buy their players, and they have always been very welcome. He doesn't want to force the financial backers away like this, so he also squeezed out a smile and said, "Haha, Nemania does not have any special leagues to go to. I believe that as long as he can go to a higher level league, he should be willing."

"Since that's the case, let's talk about Vidic's transfer issue. Our preparation for the new season is about to begin. I hope to complete the transfer before this so that new players have enough time to integrate into the Du team. If Vidic is not allowed to be introduced, we can also go to Switzerland in time. Sendros may be a little younger, but his EU passport can free us up a non-European spot." Tang Feng said with a "sincere" smile. Sendros, who had been basically rejected by him, was taken out as a "spare tire".

When Mianovic heard Tang Feng say the name Sendros, he couldn't help but frown. As a player in charge of club transfers, he naturally also understands some talented players in the transfer market.

He has also heard of Swiss central defender Sendros, who performed well in the U17 European Championship this year.

Although, in his opinion, Vidic's performance is more stable than that of Sendros, Sendros is an EU player.

Another important reason why Black players cannot afford to sell high prices is that they generally do not have EU passports and need to occupy non-EU players.

Nowadays, many mainstream leagues have certain restrictions on non-European players. Many small and medium-sized teams are more willing to use non-European quotas for some offensive players in South America or Africa that are not expensive, while giant teams tend to use non-European quotas for players whose strength has been tested.

As a young central defender, Vidic obviously does not match both points.

Historically, he joined the giant Manchester United, but after being tested by the Russian League and the national team, he was attracted by Ferguson.

"Okay, since Mr. Tang is so sincere, then I want to hear your offer to Vidic." As a transfer manager who often deals with other clubs, Mianovic is definitely a versatile one. He selectively ignored the second half of Tang Feng and entered the substantive stage of negotiations.

"We recognize Vidic's strength more, so we prepared a quotation of three million euros for him!" Monkey, who was sitting next to Tang Feng, directly quoted a price.

"Three million euros? IMHO, this price is too low. Rather than that, we would rather leave him in the team and play for another season or two. At that time, I believe he can sell a higher price!" Mianovic shook his head and said.

"Mr. Mianovich, three million euros are not low for a twenty-one-year-old young man!" Tang Feng said with a smile.

"That's right, but that's for some ordinary 21-year-old players. But Neymania is different. He has been trained in the professional league for two seasons and will become a member of the national team soon. He is much older than ordinary 21-year-old players!" Mianovic refuted Tang Feng's opinion.

Tang Feng and Mengqi looked at each other, then Mengqi shrugged and said, "Okay, in order to show our sincerity, we are willing to add one million euros to the quotation. How about four million euros? This price is definitely not low!"

When Mianovich heard the offer of 4 million, he was actually a little moved because it had reached his psychological price.

You know, even two years later, when Vidic, who became the main player of the national team and had outstanding performance in four seasons, joined Mosque Sparta, Russia, only spent 5.6 million euros in transfer fees.

However, when Mianovic saw that the opponent had increased by one million euros so readily, the price still has room for growth, so he shook his head again and said: "It is not easy for us to develop such a potential new star, not to mention that it is difficult to find an excellent central defender in European football nowadays. Such a price is really a bit low."

"Oh, it's a bit of a pity. Our transfer budget this season is not much. We have already spent a lot of money when replenishing fullbacks and forwards. If the price is higher, it will exceed the budget. To be honest, our club is still carrying debts, and the club has to control the expenditure in the transfer market." Mengqi said with a embarrassed look on his face.

Monkey, who was very happy just now, immediately changed his face and started crying poorly, which made Mianovich unpredictable.

He had never known Betis' financial situation before, but he saw Betis selling his leading scorer Adriano on the transfer news. One reason was to repay the club's debts, so he did not doubt Monkey's words.

In fact, he didn't know that after getting the 40 million euros sold by Adriano, Betis' debts were completely paid off, and with some income from the double championship last season, there was still some surplus. Therefore, in the transfer market, Tang Sen did not limit Tang Feng's budget.

"Mr. Monkey, you said your club has debt problems, so why are we financially nervous? Otherwise, how could we be willing to sell these outstanding players?" Mianovic said that he had rich experience in crying, and he also took over Monkey's words.

Seeing the conversation between the two club managers, Tang Feng was a little amused.

How does this scene look a bit like a conversation between a creditor and a debtor?

The creditor cried poorly and said that he was tight and wanted to pay back his debts. The debtor over there was talking about his own difficulties, and he really couldn't afford to pay off his debts...

In this way, the negotiations temporarily fell into a deadlock.

Monchi is waiting for Mianovich to give in, while Mianovich hopes that Monchi will increase the price.

After a stalemate for a long time, Tang Feng knew that it was his turn to appear.

"Hey, since everyone has difficulties, let's understand each other! I made a private decision, add 500,000 euros! 4.5 million euros!" Tang Feng said as if he was "making a difficult decision".

"Tang, if this happens, we will exceed the budget. The Chairman will blame you!" Meng Qi next to Tang Feng seemed to be dissatisfied with Tang Feng's "good decisions".

"If you exceed it, you should exceed it. If the Chairman blames it, I will take it all my strength!" Tang Feng said very decisively.

"This is what you said! Then you go and explain to the chairman!" Mengqi seemed to be afraid of taking responsibility, so he immediately pushed the responsibility to Tang Feng.

Mianovich, who was sitting opposite, watched the two argue over 500,000 euros, and immediately believed Monkey's previous statement.

It seems that Betis is really poor. The head coach has to "take responsibility" if he adds a quotation of 500,000 euros!

At the same time, he also believed that it would not seem realistic if he wanted to raise the price again.

So, he also looked embarrassed: "Okay, since Mr. Tang is so sincere, then I am willing to give in, just 4.5 million euros!"

"Okay, Mr. Mianovich, are we going to talk to Vidic himself?" Tang Feng asked.

"Of course, we can sign the contract first. I believe Nemania will not refuse the opportunity to land in La Liga!" Mianovic nodded and said. However, he still hopes to sign the contract first. He doesn't know that Betis is poor. Their Red Star Belgrade is really poor! Four million and five million euros are enough for them to cultivate several potential new stars like Vidic.

"Since Mr. Mianovich has said that, let's sign the contract first!" Tang Feng shrugged and said.

...

After signing Vidic's transfer contract in the reception room of Red Star Club in Belgrade, Tang Feng and Monkey walked out of the club building, the two of them had a tacit understanding and showed a sneering smile.

"Hey, Monkey, your acting skills are getting better and better!" Tang Feng said with a smile.

"Overall, it's mainly because Mianovich is too anxious. He doesn't know how to understand the situation first. Don't he know that the chairman is your cousin? And you are also the major shareholder of the club. What responsibility will you have to bear for 500,000 euros!" Mengqi also said with a smile.

It turned out that the two of them had a double act in front of Mianovich just now.

In fact, Tang Feng's visit to Belgrade this time can be said to be a sure win against Vidic.

In his opinion, even if he pays out 5.6 million euros as in history, he is willing to accept it.

After all, the problem of rear defense and air defense has plagued Betis for too long. Besides, Vidic's future value is several times more than 5 million euros!

The drama they just performed made Mianovich believe that 4.5 million euros were already their highest price.

Tang Feng suddenly thought of a sentence: Life is like a play, it all depends on acting!

Afterwards, Tang Feng and the others' personal negotiations went smoothly.

Vidic naturally hopes to log in to a higher level league, and his personal treatment will be greatly improved after joining Betis, so there is no reason for him to refuse this contract.

When he signed his name on the contract, Tang Feng knew that this old problem of air defense on the team's defense line should finally be solved!

Even with an air dominant like Vidic, Betis might have to use set pieces to bully other teams in the future!
