Fox in the Penalty Area

"Fox in the Forbidden Zone"

"Just yesterday, Shanhai Mariners Club and Premier League Leeds City Club signed a transfer agreement, and Zhou Zijing will permanently transfer to Leeds City. Neither party disclosed the specific transfer fee, but according to the famous football transfer consulting website 'Transfer Window' It was revealed that Zhou Zijing’s transfer fee may be around 4 million pounds…”

"The transfer of Zhou Zijing is considered to be Leeds City's preparation for Hu Lai's departure... Everyone believes that Leeds City regards Zhou Zijing as Hu Lai's successor... because just before this news was announced , Leeds City has agreed to the Madrid King's transfer offer for Hulay... According to people familiar with the matter, Hulay's transfer fee will be a 'sky-high price', which will not only create a Chinese player's worth record, but also create an Asian player's worth. record..."

"On the day Leeds City and Shanhai Seamen were officially announced, Zhou Zijing had already taken a plane and left Shanhai and went to England. This powerful center scored 13 goals and assisted six times in the Chinese Super League in the first half of this year. , after handing in a dazzling answer sheet, he will go to a distant country to write his own glory. Let us wish him good luck, and also wish Hu Lai good luck..."

"...A small gambling company called 'Big Winner' announced that it has closed the betting channel from Hulay to Madrid Kings and will no longer accept bets from lottery players on this result. Although 'Big Winner' is only a small-scale gaming company, a The company's move doesn't mean anything. But at least it shows that everyone is now very optimistic about the outcome of Hulay going to Madrid Kings, thinking that there is no suspense... and if nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely that it will be completed within a week. The dust has settled..."

"What does rejection mean?" Harvey Sanchez asked in an incredulous tone into the phone.

"Rejection means that my players are unwilling to join the Madrid Kings." On the other end of the phone, Hulay's agent Yong Jun answered Xavi Sanchez's questions in Spanish that was not very proficient.

"Not willing? Why?!"

Sanchez's voice went up an octave because he was really shocked.

This was a result he didn't expect at all.

As usual, after the two clubs reach an agreement on the transfer fee, the Madrid Kings are eligible to negotiate with the players of the other club.

At this time, it's not like negotiating with the club and having faxes and emails flying around.

The agent will come directly to the club's location to negotiate with the club's transfer manager.

What Xavi Sanchez is doing now is to call and invite agents from Champion Legend Sports Agency Co., Ltd., Hulay's agency, to discuss personal treatment with the King of Madrid.

As the football director of the top giants Madrid Kings, Xavi Sanchez, who holds transfer power, has a very high status in Spanish football and even European football.

The fact that he was able to personally call and invite Hu Lai's agent was a sign of respect and fully reflected the respect and attention he paid to Hu Lai.

This is Sanchez's third insurance for this transfer transaction - the first two insurances are the personal relationship between Hu Lai and Francis, and Hu Lai's girlfriend Li Qingqing.

He originally thought that with three locks, no matter what difficulties he encountered on the transfer road, he would be crushed by the King of Madrid's chariot and go straight through.

As a result, the answer he got from Hulay's agent was "My players are not willing to join the Madrid Kings"...

Damn it!

Is it that our King of Madrid can’t hold the knife?

Can a hardcore off-road vehicle with three locks be trapped?

It can even overturn an aircraft carrier! ?

Because Harvey Sanchez's voice was too explosive, Yong Jun had to hold the phone farther away to avoid irritating his eardrums.

He remembered what Hu Lai had told him,

He replied: "Mr. Sanchez, Hu is very grateful to the King of Madrid for respecting him. But he has his own career plan, and the King of Madrid is not in his plan now..."

When Sanchez heard a player's agent say such words to him, he felt magical.

Because most of the time in the past, he said this to players’ agents who planned to purge:

"Sorry, the player is not in the plans of the Madrid Kings..."

The player's agent then has to prepare to find a home for his employer.

Good guy, now it’s the player’s agent’s turn to say this to the great football director of Kings of Madrid…

Isn't this magical enough?

For a moment, Sanchez had the urge to blurt out: "Don't you want Hu to be with his girlfriend?"

But he didn't say that because it was too vulgar.

How could the King of Madrid be so groveling to, almost begging, a player?

At the same time, even if he feels unhappy, he cannot verbally threaten the players' agents and say things like "You will regret it sooner or later" and "Missing the Madrid King is your regret, not the Madrid King's" to regain the situation.

Because not only will you not regain your position by doing this, but you will lose face even more.

After all, why would a club like Kings of Madrid care whether a player joins or not?

Wouldn't it make it seem like you care if you say it?

So Sanchez took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said in a normal tone and speed: "That's a shame. I hope we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

As he said this, Sanchez actually thought so in his heart.

As the football director of a top club, it is impossible to act on impulse. Not signing Hu Lai now does not mean that Hu Lai will not be signed in the future. If one day, Hu Lai changes his mind and takes the initiative to contact me. As long as the King of Madrid still needs him, he can open his mind and fully accept him.

Therefore, for Sanchez, it is a basic quality not to talk to death.

In the world of football, who knows what will happen in the future?

Maybe the enemies who used to fight each other to the death on the court will one day transfer to each other?

Kings of Madrid, Catalonia United, and Madrid Pirates have all had examples of player transfers from each other in history.

It is impossible for a person who is motivated to hold a high position in the football world.

Not long after ending the phone call with Hulay's agent, Louis Francis knocked on Xavi Sanchez's office door.

As soon as he entered, he saw Sanchez sitting in his chair, his brows furrowed and his eyes dull, as if he was thinking about some ultimate problem of mankind.

"How was the discussion with Hu's agent?" Francis closed the door and stepped forward and asked.

When Sanchez heard Francis's voice, he looked back at him and then smiled bitterly: "Rejected."

"Huh?" Francis didn't respond. "You rejected the other party?"

"No, Louis. It was us who were rejected."

Francis stared at Sanchez with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.

It’s not that no player has rejected the King of Madrid, but what happened before made Francis couldn’t believe that his club would be rejected...

Hu Lai took the initiative to take a photo with himself, and Li Qingqing is also playing in the Madrid Kings women's football team. After such a foreshadowing, almost everyone believed that Hu Lai would definitely join the Madrid Kings.

But the actual result was that the King of Madrid was rejected by Hu Lai!

"This..." Francis asked after coming back to his senses, "Why?"

"He didn't say the specific reason, he just said that we are not in his career plan. Damn it, Louis. The King of Madrid is the ultimate goal dreamed of by countless professional players, but it is not in his plan! So what is his plan?"

Sanchez vented to Francis.

Francis was also speechless.

As a professional player, Francis was a top master, and the reason why he became a top master had a lot to do with him coming to play for the Kings of Madrid.

It can be said that he and the King of Madrid have mutual achievements. He helped the King of Madrid win the Champions League championship, and because he joined the King of Madrid, he became the first of the "Four Kings" in football.

The King of Madrid has a huge bonus effect on the career achievements of professional players.

No ambitious player can ignore the King of Madrid.

But Hu Lai refused.

Is it because he has no ambition or lacks confidence?

Francis frowned, wondering why Hu Lai did this.

Because in his opinion, Hu Lai neither looked like a person without ambition nor a person without confidence.

In today's football, is there any better choice besides the King of Madrid?

"He can't really go to Catalonia, can he?" Francis asked.

The more Sanchez thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

After all, although there are three giants in La Liga, the one that can truly compare with the Kings of Madrid in terms of history, strength and status is actually Catalonia.

After all, Catalonia is backed by the entire Catalonia region, which is the richest place in Spain.

It is precisely because of such strong economic strength that we can support such a wealthy giant as Catalonia United.

With the pride of a Madrid King, if there is a team in the world that can steal people from their Madrid King, it can only be... the mortal enemy Catalonia United.

If it was really the Catalan United... Xavi Sanchez became a little angry when he thought about it.

The person he was interested in was actually snatched away from Catalonia United!

Damn Barcelona!

"Ettore, I heard an inside message. There seems to be some problem with the transfer between the King of Madrid and Hu. The two parties seem to have not reached an agreement. Are you still interested in Hu now?"

"Of course, Samuel, of course! A man who dares to say 'no' to the king, twice, should come to us pirates!"
