All the trips in Munich are over, and Kabi will fly back to Granada early, but it seems that Mr. Haas’s own work will never be over. After returning to his hotel room, Mr. Haas didn’t stop at all. First, he hit the desk lamp, and then he pulled out a big push of documents and a hand and brain from his briefcase.
19/06/2024The next step is to light a cigarette. The work has not been given yet. Mr. Haas sat in the office chair and just smoked two cigarettes first. It just drifted half the room in such a smoke ring. For a person who hates cigarettes, the smell in the room is not only choking but also stinking.
After a while, there was a lot of ash in the ashtray, and the cigarette was sandwiched between two fingers by Mr. Haas, and there was still a third left. If Kabi were allowed to walk into such a hotel room now, I’m afraid that the young man would not want to be disgusted with the room where Mr. Haas is now because the smoker himself would not resist the choking and smelly smoke.
The last puff of the first cigarette was spit out by Mr. Haas with satisfaction. Before the ashtray pinched out the cigarette end, Mr. Haas looked at the residual cigarette end for a few seconds for fear that there would be no cigarette. His expression at that time was like paying for something and fearing that the cashier would lose half a cent of the money.
Later, the files were placed on the office desktop to be clearly classified, and the screen of the hand and brain was also lit up. Mr. Haas had no procrastination. He was the kind of person who would do it at once if he had to make something that would distract him, it would be his favorite cigarette. How to say, sometimes it is normal to stop and smoke a few cigarettes
Unlike other sports agents, Mr. Haas doesn’t have to manage 100 athletes in his hand. He really wants to manage athletes with Kabi and Ali, who is also a temporary replacement to manage a broker. How long Mr. Haas doesn’t go is what really consumes his spirit, which seems to be a part-time scout.
At present, Mr. Haas has not signed a scout contract with a club, and even Kabi played for Eindhoven, and he has not signed a contract with Mr. Haas. Mr. Haas has been treating his scout as a part-time job for a long time. Simply put, he has no basic salary and a scout report is sold everywhere. If any club is willing to accept that scout report, Mr. Haas will receive a meager salary.
At first, the meager salary of scouts can’t bring much to Mr. Haas. After all, he can’t guarantee that every scout report will be accepted by those clubs. He is a player, and he won’t worry too much about his livelihood. Although he was not that kind of top star, his lifestyle of not spending too much with his family made Mr. Haas feel no pressure in the economy.
Now it is even more needless to ask,’ European Golden Boy’ Kabi was discovered by Mr. Haas, so how can European clubs refuse Mr. Haas’ recommendation? And Allie’s short story is a perfect example. The Premier League giants Liverpool were even willing to offer Allie a long-term contract later, saying that Mr. Haas’s ability to observe young players is unique.
Another example is that the Czech Republic’s Banum, with the name of "the gunner", was noticed by coach Coboni. Strictly speaking, it is also closely related to Mr. Haas. Although Mr. Haas did not assist in the whole transfer process, it was he who strongly recommended it to coach Coboni at the beginning, so now Granada’s side attack ability even suffered by Real Madrid.
In fact, this kind of "freelance scout" status is not Mr. Haas’s identity for many years. He also signed scouting contracts with several teams in the Dutch first division, one of which is the three giants of the Dutch team, Yenoord. At the beginning, both parties signed a three-year package contract.
I don’t want a contract to tie myself to death.’ Mr. Haas did say this a few years ago. It doesn’t matter who he told. The key is that this sentence has a lot of meaning. After saying this, he parted ways with the Yenoord team and finally officially entered the ranks of "freelance scouts"
At that time, the yenoord team tried to retain them, just like retaining a top star in the team, but Mr. Haas was opinionated and had no sense of vanity. Even though the yenoord team doubled its new contract salary, Mr. Haas left without turning back.
What’s the reason why the Yenoord team would keep a scout? Mr. Inhaas has written every scout report carefully, which seems superficial, but the key is that Mr. Inhaas has discovered three young players from South America, all of which have brought great benefits to Yenod.
With the discovery of these three players from South America, one won the Dutch top scorer award for two consecutive years, one was sold to the rival Ajax team at a high price, and the last one was sold to Serie A Inter Milan, which won the triple crown in one year. This player was the core of the team at that time.
It’s not hard to explain why the yenoord team would keep Mr. Haas, but it was also an established fact at that time that Mr. Haas insisted on leaving. The reason for his departure was very simple for outsiders, but for Mr. Haas, the decision was very meaningful and worthwhile, and it was not as simple as "freedom"
The turning point of this matter was that Mr. Haas was in Chile, South America, and he was following the scout with two 19-year-old teenagers. The whole process took about three days, because the transportation facilities in some small cities in Chile were not perfect, which directly affected Mr. Haas’s local scout work, which was probably the most conservative estimate.
Moreover, the scouting in South America is not the area where Mr. Haas was assigned. However, because he did make good achievements in South America, the Yenod team changed its plan and asked Mr. Haas to concentrate on scouting in South America in the hope of discovering more potential stars.
[If your family had an accident, would you go home to visit immediately? 】
That’s the problem that Mr. Haas encountered-he was still struggling, not only worried about the performance of the two young players on the court, but also worried about his wife’s accident. At that time, he informed the scout director of Yenod team about this situation, but that bullshit company still put a lot of pressure on Mr. Haas.
Although the accident was not serious, Mr. Haas still wanted to go back to his wife as soon as possible, but the contract was entangled. If Mr. Haas left Chile at that time, from the perspective of signing the contract between the two parties, Mr. Haas was not only absent without leave, but also breached the contract to some extent
"Fuck the fucking contract!" I remember that Mr. Haas also cursed such a dirty word at that time
After returning to the club, Mr. Haas handed over the complete scout report at the first time, and then he took the initiative to discuss with Yenod the way to terminate the contract before the two sides. Even though the club was still retaining him, Mr. Haas never left. To be continued.
Zhang Sanbai’s late-night secret language
Munich is near midnight.
Mr. Haas tidied up the papers on the desktop, turned off his mobile phone, and took off his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. After rubbing his eyelids, he intuitively felt that he should go to rest. After all, he was responsible for the scout report at hand. He took a good bath and then lay in the soft bed and slept until dawn.
In the hotel room, the original choking and stuffy smell of smoke still lingered, but Mr. Haas lit another cigarette after work today, just like ordinary smokers have to light a cigarette after eating. He exhaled a big smoke ring and stared at the ashtray next to him. There were more than a dozen cigarette butts inside.
Mr. Haas thought that after smoking the last cigarette today, he could lie in the soft bed and rest safely. This is a natural idea, but some things often turn to a turning point, and this turning point comes from a phone call, which is from the front desk of the hotel service.
To some extent, Mr. Haas was disturbed by the hotel reception desk at this time. In fact, he was a little unhappy. From the moment he heard the landline phone ring, he immediately knew with a straight face that it was really not the right time for the hotel reception desk to call.
Before answering the phone, Mr. Haas said that if the front desk didn’t give enough reasons, he would immediately complain about their hotel service, but this idea was immediately dismissed the fifth second after he answered the phone.
"Good evening! Is this Mr. Haas? We are the front desk of the hotel. We want to inform you that there is a gentleman here who wants to see you. I wonder what your opinion is, Mr. Haas? " The receptionist is very careful when she speaks. Maybe they also know that it is impolite to disturb the guests’ rest at midnight.
But who is it? Will insist on coming to the hotel to meet Mr. Haas at midnight?
In a short time, even Mr. Haas himself is not sure about this answer. There are many people who will contact Mr. Haas, such as scouts, some partners and some people who are related to Kabine affairs.
What kind of person would be so persistent to come to Mr. Haas’s couch hotel in person to ask for a meeting at this late night when he should rest? Mr. Haas was puzzled. He always asked, "Oh? Excuse me, who wants to see me? "
"Is Mr Janick! He said he would wait for you in the bar on the second floor of the hotel, and maybe he was sure you would like to meet him, "said the receptionist in a sigh of relief."
Mr. Haas snorted softly, and he replied, "No problem! I will definitely go! Tell him to wait for me at the bar on the second floor first! "
Without waiting for the receptionist to answer, Mr. Haas hung up the phone first. He sat on the edge of the soft shop and thought a little about something. He was also called Janick in the middle of the night. He was either unclear about the other party’s route or because he knew the other party’s route very well. He felt it necessary to think for a while.
Vaguely, Mr. Haas probably knows the purpose of the other party’s audience. No one will come to see someone he doesn’t know very well in the middle of the night for a simple greeting, and that person named Janick is because he and Mr. Haas are not familiar with each other at all. There is something inexplicable about his audience.
A moment later, when Mr. Haas met the man named Janick, it was the tenth minute after Mr. Haas received the phone call. Naturally, the meeting place was in the bar. This is true.
However, it is normal to recognize the other person as the person named Janick at midnight, and there are not many guests in the bar on the second floor of the hotel. After all, the guests stay in the hotel to have a rest, which naturally cannot be compared with those bars on the street outside. Even so, the person named Janick chose to sit in a dark corner, where there was almost no light. If he hadn’t shouted, Mr. Haas would definitely not have seen each other outside.
Mr. Haas took a seat and sat down soon, then he took out his cigarette box and prepared to smoke again. The man named Janick seemed to have the same hobby as Mr. Haas, and he was smoking a cigarette. When the tobacco was extinguished by insufficient light in the dark corner, Janick was like a ghost in the dark.
"Hum! Mr Janick! This dark corner position is well chosen, and it will definitely cooperate with us to discuss things! " When Mr. Haas was giving a speech, he lit his cigarette again, and in a dark corner, two more smoke rings floated at the same time.
Mr. Janick said with a strange "Oh" and then said, "Mr. Haas! Now that you know what I’m here for, let’s get to the point. "
But then Mr Haas said, "Mr Janick! I have to wake you up. You know through the sports card dealer that it has nothing to do with me staying in a hotel with Kabine, but it is absolutely illegal for you to meet and discuss this time! Maybe your Bayern Munich team will be punished by the European Football Association! "
It was Mr. Janick who smiled strangely and said, "Mr. Haas! You’re right! But I am handled by Bayern Munich team Sports director, and I am very careful about this kind of thing. I didn’t even bring my assistant. Besides, there are no tabloid reporters ambushing us outside the hotel. Just worry! "
