10. The capital of the clubhouse
London is known as the capital of private clubs. There are so many private clubs here. Some have been circulating for hundreds of years. The founders are basically aristocrats, while others have not had a long history, decades or several years of history. However, one thing that can be founded is definitely common, and everyone is rich.
The preferences of members of each private club are also different. Some clubs only accept aristocratic members and cannot join the club without aristocratic status. Some are rich people, some are artists, and some are scientists. In short, there are many different kinds of people, so don’t be surprised if the rich second generation set up an XX club.
As a native South Londoner, he is still a rich man and a person with a certain social status. Wensheng did not join any private clubs. Many people once invited him, but as a promising young man who grew up under the Red Banner, he felt that this was too corrupt. However, after so many years, he also learned that there was nothing to beat the private clubs here. In fact, it was just one circle after another.
Wensheng met Zahavi today in a private club. It is said that the homemade whiskey here tastes excellent, private brewing is illegal, and homemade brewing houses have legal procedures. There is a winery in Scotland.
Big cousin John is a member here. Wensheng was led by the waiter to the deck where Zahavi was located before he showed his membership card. However, he swiped the face card, and he politely led him to the deck where Zahavi was located.
Private clubs not only provide afternoon tea, wine, but many of them provide meals. Moreover, the food level of these clubs is not lower than that of those luxurious restaurants. The specialty dishes are also very famous, but only members can enjoy them.
At this moment, Zahavi was sitting in the booth drinking afternoon tea and reading newspapers. He looked like a traditional English gentleman.
When Wensheng arrived, Zahavi put down the newspaper, took off his eyes and smiled: "Are you exhausted recently?!"
"Yes, I haven't been home for a long time! But now, everything has been straightened out!"
"There will always be many problems that need to be solved just now! I heard that your proposal is difficult to get the recognition of the Premier League and the Professional League!"
Wen Sheng shrugged, "I thought it was too simple! This is indeed not easy, but it should be done! The relationship between the club and the FA should be closer! This is good for the national team!"
"Haha, if you still work in the club, you might not have seen this!"
"Ha, if I were in the club, I wouldn't feel anything about it! After all, I am the head coach and I am not the chairman, so I wouldn't care about the interests of the fucking club!"
"A wonderful speech!" Zahavi applauded and mocked Wensheng, "Then why do you have to do such a thankless thing now?!"
"In fact, the FA has been trying to regain its presence, and it is not surprising that your current proposal has caused the club to rebound! Boy, Martin Glenn definitely didn't tell you that it was politics!"
Wen Sheng was speechless. Yes, from another perspective, what the club is particularly unwilling to do is everything the Football Association intervened in the club, otherwise they would not have rebelled to engage in the Premier League at the beginning, and everyone's relationship was compromise and struggle.
From the club's perspective, they may think that the FA's full involvement in the club's youth training, so Wensheng became an accomplice of the FA.
"Hey, where is this? Forget it, let them think about it! For me, that damn proposal doesn't matter now. After all, I've only been the head coach for two years, right?!" Wen Sheng really didn't want to pay attention to that matter.
"This is a lesson. Sometimes don't act rashly!" Zahavi commented with a smile.
This caused Wen Sheng to be extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and took a sip of black tea, picked up a small cake and tasted it slowly.
"What did you want to say on the phone that day?!" Wen Sheng asked.
"Actually, it's nothing. Someone just found me. I hope I can persuade you to promote their players!" The old guy Zahavi looked careless.
This is the benefit of the national team head coach. If you can get a new player to the national team, you may get benefits from it. Many England head coaches do make great gains from it.
"You know I can't do such a thing!" Wen Sheng was shocked and suddenly remembered a person, Big Sam Allardyce. In the original world, this old man staged a scandal after taking office as head coach of the national team and was forced to step down, becoming the shortest-lived head coach in English history, and became the infamous in English football for a while.
But then again, that's because he is in the sensitive position of the head coach of the national team. In fact, there are so many dark stories in the English football world. People are actually used to it. Haven't you seen this old man pop up as a head coach? Who cares about his messy things? After all, 80% of the head coaches will make money through various means.
This matter has historical reasons. The head coach of the Premier League has always had great power. As the saying goes, absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The bigger the head coach, the better the player. Keane criticizes Ferguson and criticizes this kind of mess, but Ferguson has nothing to do. Other head coaches similar to him have nothing to do. Naturally, Allardes cannot have something to do. If you change to Serie A, La Liga, etc., it will not be so easy for the head coach to make money.
However, Wen Sheng definitely won’t do this. There must be dark stories about him. It’s all related to Zahavi, helping his agent make money, but he himself didn’t make a penny. He already has enough salary and good investment returns.
"So I received their information, and I sent you an email, but if you don't look at it, you can do whatever you want! Don't worry, I didn't take a dime, I'm all old friends, so it's hard to refuse!" Zahavi explained. Of course, he wouldn't cheat Wensheng, just agree to submit the information.
"No, no, don't! Don't send emails either! Don't know WikiLeaks?! If my email is hacked by a hacker, it's either shit or shit! I don't want to see it if I put it on your side, it's easy to make me resist. If I miss a good player, it's a sin!" Wensheng waved his hand quickly.
These agents or other agents are not recommended by bad guys, on the contrary, some of them are among the candidates for the national team and are also very outstanding players. But who can know what the new national team head coach has? He said that it is legitimate to not choose those players if you are not suitable for a tactic. If you bite the national team coach, Capello has made enough big waves, but what can he do to him?!
Wensheng doesn't like these cheating methods, for fear that he will also be disgusted with the players.
Zahavi smiled and said this again. He reminded Wensheng, "It is good for you to have this awareness. In your position, I tell you that countless pairs of eyes are staring at you, be careful of being fished by some unscrupulous media!"
Wen Sheng nodded. Erikson and Allardyce were all lessons. These uncrowned kings in England have no bottom line. Their main purpose of fishing Erikson or Allardyce is to attract attention and slander people. As for changing the bad habits of English football, sorry, they also know whether their reports are useless. The water is still the same pool of water and nothing can be changed.
So Erikson had an accident and Allardys had an accident. Everyone said, "This guy is finished!", but no one went to delve into the dark side of the football world. The club owners didn't care. Why are you a dead eunuch?!
Wensheng has not been fishing for reporters so far. The main reason is that he is not self-disciplined, but that he has a relatively small circle of friends. Although he has been a coach for so many years, he has not many real friends and has very few meals with others. It takes a lot of effort for reporters to fish.
A few days later, the Premier League teams basically returned to China to prepare for the new season. Kanter invited Wensheng and Vardy to have dinner together.
The Premier League has many highlights in the new season. Last season, Guardiola took over as Manchester City's head coach and led Manchester City to continue to top the Premier League. This season, the other strong teams will definitely not make him feel better. Manchester United changed coach Mourinho and Chelsea changed coach Conte, who performed well in the European Cup. At the same time, both teams are buying people in a big way. Don't forget Liverpool, and Uncle Slag has also sharpened his sword. Everyone wants to pull Manchester City off. Under this background, Chelsea dug up Kanter.
Kanter naturally received a significant salary increase, and Vardy said it would be absolutely wrong to quarrel.
Seeing his former disciples full of energy, Wen Sheng was also full of gratitude, but he felt sorry for Leicester City and La Nianli. Lao La was unable to create miracles when he took office. This is football. No matter how capable the head coach is, the key players have been "appropriated" by Wen Sheng. He can only catch them blindly and barely maintain the middle-level level.
Wensheng happened to ask Kanter about the opinions of Chelsea’s English players. He had received olive branches from Chelsea many times, but he refused them all and was not very popular among Chelsea, including their fans. However, Wensheng knew that Chelsea is one of the most important bases of the English team. With the financial support of Abraham and the effective management of the women’s tsar, this team was very successful. Their management model was relatively advanced.
Chelsea's youth training is very good. In addition to those foreign players, there are also many outstanding young people from England. Many of them follow the first team to train during the training camp. Although Kanter played in the European Cup and didn't spend much time with them, he knew him at least.
After chatting for a while, Kanter said to Wensheng: "Are you going to Stamford Bridge to watch the game in the new season?! I'll give you the tickets!"
"Fuck, the boss also needs you to give it to me! Just find the club to get it?! Your ticket is worse than giving it to me as a favor!" Vardy shouted.
Kante was embarrassed to show his big white teeth. This is true. If Chelsea didn't even give away tickets to the national team coach to watch the ball, then the PR work would be really bad!
But he counterattacked Valdy, "Do you dare to come and see it?"
"I can give it to my friend!" Vardy smiled sly.
Wen Sheng also laughed. Vardy didn’t say whether he had time or not, but he really went to watch it. I don’t know what the media would say!
Chapter completed!
