"Rotation doesn't mean that I don't value the League Cup. I hope we can go as far as possible! We don't have a main force here. I think we should do better. It's a pity that we didn't advance. I hate the feeling of losing the game.

, this will keep me awake for days!" Wen Sheng denied giving up the League Cup after the game.

Back in the locker room, Wen Sheng also criticized his players, believing that they lacked the desire to win.

Wen Sheng is now the boss, and he is an authoritative boss. He criticizes these newcomers who have just entered the Premier League to accept it silently, and seriously reflect on what they have not done enough.

After the game, Wen Sheng specifically talked to Scannell and Zaha. Zaha still has a lot of room for growth. Now his style is gradually changing, and his personal dribbling has begun to become more purposeful.

Scannell's progress is slow, which makes Wen Sheng a little annoyed. He has never paid much attention to the players' off-field life, but recently I heard that Scannell now has a few cents in his pocket, and his life has begun to "corrupt" rapidly. He

Scannell must be given a warning.

These two were Crystal Palace youth players, and Wen Sheng treated them much harsher. The two poor guys almost fled Wen Sheng's office after being scolded.

Just after scolding the two little guys on the team, scout Mader came to visit. He recommended a player to Wen Sheng, Mahdi Benatia.

As soon as he mentioned this name, Wen Sheng wanted to slap himself again for forgetting this guy.

Mahdi Benatia is Morocco's central defender, but he is actually still French. There is no labor certificate problem, and he should not be well-known yet.

"Where did you find it?!" Wen Sheng asked curiously.

"The scouting report I left before!" Mader said, "I looked at his data and thought it was pretty good! But don't you think you are in a hurry? I haven't gone to see it in person! So I don't dare to take a guarantee.

oh!"

As early as before the first round of the league, Wen Sheng asked Madel to think of a way. Madel had been recommending him during this period, but either Wen Sheng didn't like him or he couldn't agree on the price. In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

It's almost over, and there's not even a trace of the substitute central defender. Wen Sheng has already transferred players from the youth team to temporarily fill up the team.

"That's him!" Wen Sheng pretended to look at Mader's report and nodded in approval.

He called the club's general manager Morelli in front of Mader and asked him to come forward to introduce Madhi Benatia.

After Parish took office, Crystal Palace recruited a lot of players, but the current organizational structure is still very simple. To put it bluntly, the team's top management is actually the chairman, general manager, and financial director. The other positions are not considered high-level. General Manager Moleri

He has a lot of things to do. It has always been a pleasure to work with Wen Sheng. He handled all the transfer transactions this summer.

Wen Sheng only needs to be responsible for providing the list he wants, and he will generally give an approximate price.

Molari is mainly responsible for salary control. Wen Sheng will not be in charge of salary control, but he cannot let Molari do whatever he wants. This leads to disputes between the two parties. Fortunately, Wen Sheng is not an unreasonable person.

If the deal cannot be reached, Wen Sheng will not force it, and Morelli will certainly be grateful for this.

…..

Morelli acted quickly, but what he told Wen Sheng was unfortunate news.

"Waterfak, he went to Udinese this summer?! Just this summer!" Wen Sheng regretted it. It was all the fault of this damn Mardel. If he had found Benatia's report earlier, why would he be here now?

Like this, he went to Udinese and made a fuss.

Wen Sheng was so angry that he called Mader to the office and gave him a scolding, "Can you do a survey first when you recommend a player?! Damn it, he has been poached by Udinese! That's it!"

this summer!"

Mader said aggrievedly: "Daniel, I told you that I didn't go and see it myself. This is the report they left behind!"

Wen Sheng looked at the report on the table, wasn't it? This was from two or three years ago, Benatia was still in Lorient, and Benatia was only over ten years old, but now he should be

23 years old.

"Then you can't do your job like this. Why don't you make a phone call to find out more?! The news I get must not be delayed!" Wen Sheng was still unhappy, so he had to vent his anger on Mader.

Mardel can only suffer from it. There is no way that Wen Sheng is the boss. He is not older than him, but his status is higher than him. Moreover, to be honest about this matter, it seems that what he did is indeed unreliable. However, Mardel still wants to defend himself.

, Aren’t I anxious? Aren’t you forcing me every day?!

There was no use talking anymore. Wen Sheng sat on the sofa and thought about it, and came up with an idea.

"Tell me, is it difficult to go to Udinese to rent him out and then buy him out?!"

"What's the meaning?!"

"We will rent him out to Udinese and then choose to buy him out next year!" Wen Sheng said excitedly. Isn't that what Matic's contract is like? Benatia can do the same.

Because in the same transfer period, it is no longer realistic to introduce Benatia from Udinese and does not comply with FIFA regulations, but a loan is different, it is feasible.

Wen Sheng knows this player very well. Benatia is an aggressive central defender. He went to Bayern Munich from Roma, and his strength is evident.

The only thing that worries people is that Benatia is an attacking central defender, and so is Morgan. Onyewu can play deep and let Benatia and Morgan compete for position. Wen Sheng is a little undecided, and Morgan

He is a late-blooming centre-back, and it is hard to say he will not be able to play Benatia, but Wen Sheng does not want him to leave.

What the hell, the team needs a central defender now, Benatia is so coveted, let’s see if it works in the future!

Thinking of this idea, Wen Sheng quickly called Morelli to communicate that Udinese only spent 500,000 euros to poach Benatia from Clermont.

Benatia's development in France is extremely unsatisfactory. Clermont is only a small club in the French second division, and he has received too little attention. Only teams like the Silkies who like to scratch lottery tickets will be interested in him.

,Don’t you see, Benatia’s information is almost ruined by Crystal Palace’s scouting department, and Crystal Palace has not taken any action.

This black-bone chicken is really awesome, the lottery tickets are really good, and the Pozzo family's football business is awesome.

Morelli couldn't understand why Wen Sheng insisted on asking for Benatia. Of course Wen Sheng said he wanted it, and he was willing to give it a try. The two agreed on the price, and spent some rental fees to get it in the first year. Next summer

Plus a mandatory buyout clause.

Wen Sheng immediately called his agent Zahavi. This matter was urgent. Wen Sheng wanted to ensure the success rate, and Zahavi could undoubtedly help.

"How much agency fee did you give me?!" Zahavi was so shameless.

"Not this time! Just think of it as doing me a favor, I will remember you! Besides, how much money did you make from us this summer? You didn't even count it?! I want you to help with such a simple thing.

You have the nerve to ask for it! Let’s not talk about other things, let’s talk about Van Dijk’s transaction. Your agency fee is higher than the training fee we gave you, so you have the nerve to continue to be evil!” Wen Sheng became more and more angry as he spoke.

This summer, the old boy made a lot of money from him. Although they had already agreed to "cooperate" with each other, Wen Sheng still felt distressed. He felt as if Zahavi was taking advantage of him.

"Okay, okay! I'll do you this favor! It's a friendly gift!" Zahavi said with a smile, "By the way, my price has dropped now. I became your agent. What the hell do players worth hundreds of thousands want me for?"

If you come forward, my face will become less and less valuable!"

After hanging up Zahavi's phone, Wen Sheng couldn't help but laugh. This old boy's face is still valuable. This summer is indeed bad enough. He always handles hundreds of thousands or millions of transactions for himself. The price has indeed dropped a bit.

.

Wen Sheng had misled Zahavi. If there was money to be made, Zahavi would never let it go. A deal like Van Dijk's was a waste of effort. He settled everything with just a few words.
Chapter completed!
