Chapter 58 The Basque

After the Sporting Gijon club met with their manager Javier, Tang Feng handed over the negotiations to Monchi.

Tang Feng has to admit that Monkey is a natural negotiating genius.

He just now expressed doubts about the highest price of 1.5 million US dollars that Tang Feng said. When he arrived at the negotiating table, this guy put on an attitude that I thought this guy was worth 1 million US dollars and I wouldn't even pay for an extra child.

Although Sporting Gijon's manager, Javier, is an old fry, his disadvantage is that he does not know Villa enough.

Although this guy repeatedly emphasized that "David is the future leader of our team", "we have high expectations for him", "he is our non-sale product", etc.

But when he learned that the two "subborns" in front of him were willing to pay $1 million to buy the 18-year-old boy, his psychological defense was still broken.

Of course, he still "rejected" Monkey's offer. Then, he was like an old lady selling vegetables. Sometimes he said that the club had put in a lot of effort in cultivating Villa. Then he said that Villa is really indispensable to the team.

Seeing such an old man in his fifties complaining in front of them, Tang Feng really wanted to roll his eyes. However, he still nodded at Meng Qi.

So Mengqi pretended to be difficult and gave the "last" price, $1.2 million!

When Monkey said the price, Tang Feng obviously felt a light flashing in Javier's eyes. However, the old guy quickly suppressed his excitement, and then said "reluctantly" that there was no problem with the Sporting Ghiong Club. What Tang Feng had to do next was to see the players' own wishes.

...

That afternoon, Tang Feng and Monchi met Villa at a local cafe in Gijon under the arrangement of Sporting Gijon Club. He also came with his agent Tamarg.

Villa is over 18 years old and has signed a professional contract with the club, so he naturally has an agent.

Tamargo also looks very young, probably less than thirty years old.

According to Tang Feng's memory, although he later helped Villa complete several important transfers from Sporting Gijon to Zaragoza, and then transferred from Zaragoza to Valencia, in the end, the two seemed to part ways and seemed to be at the point of going to court.

Of course, Tang Feng didn't have the heart to care about these issues at this time.

"Hello, Mr. Tang, Mr. Monkey!" As soon as he came in, Villa humbly greeted Tang Feng and Monkey. The first impression he gave was very good.

"Hello, David, Mr. Tamarg, I'm glad to see you!" Tang Feng and Monkey also greeted Villa and Tamarg with a smile.

After sitting down one after another, both sides also directly entered the topic.

"Hello, Mr. Tang, Mr. Monkey. Betis Club is one of the most famous clubs in Spain, so in our opinion, Betis is indeed a better choice than Sporting Gijon. However, Mr. Tang, as far as I know, your current identity is only the acting head coach of Betis. If, I say, if you end your acting coach and leave the team, how will we protect David's interests? You also know that it is not uncommon for the players bought by the former coach to be hidden in the new coach's plan!" Tamargo hit the nail on the head from the beginning.

"Well, Mr. Tamargo. I can understand your idea. Yes, I am really just an agent coach now. I need to use excellent record to make myself a regular. It is precisely because of this that I need a player like David to help the team achieve good results. To be honest, my scouts have been observing David for a long time. In my opinion, with David's comprehensive performance, he will become one of the best strikers in Spain and even Europe in the future."

"In my plan, David is also a very important member. After he transfers, he will directly become a member of the first team. As long as he can quickly integrate into the team, he will be a strong contender for the team's main striker. According to my observation, David can play in addition to centers, but also wingers and shadow strikers, which is his advantage. This means that he will have many opportunities to play. I believe that after David adapts to Betis and shows his strength, no matter whether Betis's coach is me or not, he will be reused. In other words, after David shows his strength, what you need to consider may be whether David is willing to continue playing for Betis, rather than whether Betis has a David position..." Tang Feng smiled and answered Tamarg very seriously.

Tamarg and Villa, who were sitting opposite Tang Feng, also listened seriously. When the two heard that Tang Feng thought Villa would become one of the best forwards in Spanish and even European football, their expressions were different. Tamarg showed joy on his face, and he obviously thought he had dug up the treasure. A trace of confidence flashed across Villa's face. Obviously, what Tang Feng said... was exactly the goal he was fighting!

Tang Feng's words not only highly praised Villa's strength, but also fully demonstrated his trust in Villa. All of this made Tamargo and Villa believe that in Betis, Villa will be reused.

Villa was originally just a youth team player who had no experience in one game and one team. How could they not be satisfied with the two of them being able to get such a promise?

So, what needs to be discussed next is Villa's treatment.

Tang Feng gave Villa a mid-level salary of Betis, but he offered a high goal bonus.

Both Tamarg and Villa expressed satisfaction with such a contract.

After all, for a forward, scoring a goal is the best way to prove himself.

Tamargo and himself are full of confidence in Villa's goal-scoring ability, so they also believe that the goal bonus they earn next season will greatly increase their income!

Finally, after everything was negotiated, the two sides signed a draft agreement.

Next, Betis Club will sign a formal agreement with Villa. Then, just wait for the transfer window to be announced to the public!

...

For Tang Feng and Mengqi, this trip to Gijon was a happy one.

The two not only brought a young genius to the team, but also successfully completed their first negotiation!

This successful negotiation has a particularly great impact on Monkey!

He suddenly realized that his unique vision actually had such great value.

Because, in his eyes, Villa, who should be worth a lot of money, was actually done with just one and two million dollars by him and Tang Feng.

After a deeper understanding of Villa, Monchi could predict how high the value this young man would have in the future.

If he can continue to discover such geniuses in the future and can buy teams at low prices and train them, how much wealth will it bring to the club?

In addition, after this trip to Gijon, Monkey also admired Tang Feng even more. Because he found that he and this young Chinese actually had so many common views, and he could also learn a lot from this young man who was ten years younger than him!

Although it has just begun, Monkey has been sure that he has made an extremely correct choice!

...

Tang Feng obviously didn't know that Monkey's skill of buying low and selling high was actually inspired by him. Moreover, in this trip to Gijon, he completely conquered this future great man.

After leaving Gijon, the two of them came to San Sebastian, the Basque Country.

It has the second largest club in the Basque Country, Real Sociedad!

Teams in the Basque Country all have their own personalities and persistence. Athletic Bilbao has maintained the custom that players in the team must have Basque blood.

Real Sociedad is not as strict as Athletic Bilbao, but in this era, their local players must also have Basque blood. However, their custom from Athletic Bilbao is that they can introduce foreign players!

This custom of Real Sociedad did not change until 2002, and they did not introduce the first local player of non-Basque blood that season!

Tang Feng admires these insistences of the Basque Country team.

Especially Athletic Bilbao, in Tang Feng's impression, Athletic Bilbao still maintained this tradition until before he traveled through time. And, they had already risen again in the 11-12 season. They even defeated the powerful Red Devils Manchester United in the Europa League!

Athletic Bilbao's persistence reminded Tang Feng of the Chinese military team, the Bayi team!

In the early stages of the professionalization of Chinese football basketball, both the Bayi football team and the basketball team had this good strength, especially the Bayi basketball team, who almost completed a monopoly on the league championship in the early days of CBA!

The Bayi football team and basketball team also adhere to the principle of being the representatives of the army and not using foreign aid.

However, with the commercialization of the league, more and more high-level foreign players, the Bayi Men's Basketball Team, which once dominated the Chinese basketball world for many years, gradually fell.

Of course, perhaps in the near future, this iron-blooded army will have a day to rise again.

Having said that, Tang Feng came to Basque this time and his goal is to be a future-winning Basque star in Real Sociedad.

This young man who is still unable to play as the main player in Real Love Society will be the double main midfielder and the most indispensable figure in the Spanish national team and the Spanish national team in the future.

Tang Feng also admired him very much in the future, so this time Tang Feng’s goal was to bring him to Betis!
