Chapter 133: New agent

It has been a week since the thrilling game against Manchester United. During this week, Preston also played a league game, but because many players fought with cramps in the game against Manchester United, Preston, who was in poor form, eventually lost to Bradford 1-2 at home, and Tiger did not play in this game.

And after Old Trafford handed in a perfect answer with two goals and one assist, especially after the shocking sling before the final game, Tiger became famous in one game like Beckham two years ago.

Although Tiger has gained a lot of fame in the League One and has performed well in the FA Cup, it is obvious that beating Wimbledon, who is already down and out and defeating top giants like Manchester United are completely different concepts!

In a moment, Tiger became a celebrity. In addition to the media reporters who surrounded him like a shark who saw blood, countless agents found Tiger more crazier than the shark who saw blood. They used various means to find the address of the Tiger family, and then the Tiger family began to enjoy the troubles that celebrities had...

Those who want to sign an agent contract with Tiger are going to interview Tiger... Countless people have reported this purpose and wandered around the dilapidated home of Tiger. If the people on that street had not been harassed and called the police, I'm afraid the Tiger family would have had more trouble.

Even Lao Li, who set up a fruit stall, has been harassed countless times, but Lao Li, who has been stormy for a long time, is obviously not afraid of this. He ignores all the reporters and agents who are indirectly striking. He just farts whatever the other party says. Only when the reporter or agent who is already dry-mouthed is about to buy fruits will he smile and talk to the other party...

So, in almost a few minutes, the fruits on Lao Li's stall were swept away, and even the less fresh fruits were sold out...

Old Li stood next to the empty stall, surrounded by a large group of reporters and agents chewing fruits. The scene was as cool as it was…

After they finished gnawing the fruit, Lao Li had already packed up the stall with a simple smile, then carried it home directly, then closed the door and locked everyone outside...

"Dad, you are so awesome." Tiger gave his father a thumbs up, while Lao Li laughed haha.

"Son, play football well. You are famous now, so you can't be too impetuous."

Facing his father's warning, Tiger nodded, and then secretly watched the disappointed reporters and agents leave through the window...

It’s not to mention how happy Tiger is to see this scene. You should know that when he returned home from the training ground yesterday, he ran around two kilometers before he could get rid of those people. Fortunately, his physical fitness has become much better after he has increased his strength. Otherwise, just participating in the team’s training and running so far back would be enough to make him exhausted.

Tiger knew that he had become famous, but he couldn't care about so much now. Although he performed well against Manchester United, Tiger also knew that this victory had more luck - he definitely performed at the best level, and Preston also performed at the best level. Manchester United underestimated the opponent at the beginning, but later they were not very lucky, otherwise it would be impossible to win this game.

In this game, Tiger found that he still had many things to strengthen.

Shooting is a link, and set ball is also a link.

So during this period, Tiger kept training his shooting and smell in front of the goal in the virtual space, and on the team's training ground, he began to train a free kick - although the effect was not very good, Tiger didn't want to miss any way that could make himself stronger!

So now Tiger doesn't care about dealing with reporters and agents at all. He sometimes talks to the reporters, but after seeing that they ask the same questions, Tiger doesn't want to answer some of their nonsense questions anymore. As for the agent... Tiger sees this very clearly. Just the light coming out of the other party's eyes, Tiger knows that the other party regards himself as a money tree.

Tiger doesn't want to tie his future fate to these guys. Even if he wants to find an agent, he still needs to find a good reputation. He doesn't treat the players as a money tree agent. Moreover, Tiger is not in a hurry now, and will talk about it after the end of this season.

The most important thing is that none of these agents who came to visit Tiger can like the eye. They are either flirting with frivolous faces. Tiger feels that if he finds such an agent, he will not be able to raise his head in the players' circle.

After seeing the reporters and agents disperse in the window, Tiger pulled up the curtains and prepared to go back to the room and enter the main god space to exercise.

At this moment, three polite knocks sounded at the door of the Tiger family.

Tiger looked at his father, and Old Li asked loudly: "Who?"

"Is you Tiger's father? I'm a person who can bring glorious prospects to your son." A voice as polite as a knocker came from outside the door.

Hearing this, Tiger and Lao Li curled their lips at the same time - they heard too many such words during this period. Those inexplicable agents always talked about everything. It seemed that if Tiger became a player under their command, he would go to any wealthy family and get as much annual salary as he wanted...

"Sorry, my son doesn't want an agent for the time being, and it's already very late now, please come back tomorrow." Lao Li said, but what he thought was, go to the fruit stall tomorrow to find me, I will wholesale twice as much fruit tomorrow!

"Please rest assured, I am not the kind of despicable agent... You know, I am very optimistic about your son, and I will not encourage him to transfer now. As far as I know, the contract between Tiger and Preston will expire in June next year. This summer will be the time for me to show off. If I believe me, this summer, Tiger's fate will change dramatically."

Tiger looked at his father again and began to feel that this guy became a little interesting. You must know that the guys who came to find him before could not even understand the contract between Tiger and Preston for several years. You must know that this is not something that is difficult to find.

This agent who came to the door seemed to be different from those agents before.

Tiger opened the curtain and looked out, and found that there were no other people outside the door, so he whispered to his father: "Dad, why don't he let him come in and talk? Anyway, it's just one person, so it's okay if you can't reach an agreement."

Old Li thought about it and nodded, thinking that this proposal was good.

After opening the door, Tiger and Lao Li immediately saw a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing evening gowns, bow tie on his chest, and playing with an exquisite cane in his hands...

After seeing this guy with a bit of greasy and powdery face, Tiger felt that this guy was quite pleasing to him, because in his eyes, Tiger did not see greed, but saw a touch of fun color.

"Come here to disturb me, take the liberty."

The middle-aged man nodded politely to Tiger and Lao Li, and then walked in with light steps. Tiger noticed that his movements when he walked in seemed to be dancing a social dance.

"A guy who pretends to behave." Tiger said in his heart, but this sentence does not have much derogatory meaning. At least, such a man with a very gentlemanly demeanor in the Middle Ages in England is much more pleasing than those who see themselves as if they are a big piece of fat.

"I haven't introduced myself yet, I just call me Rose... As for the purpose of coming today...Tiger, I hope to be your agent."

After sitting down on the chair at the Tiger house with impeccable movements, the person who came introduced himself.

"Mr. Ross... Please forgive me for your rude statement. There are not a hundred or eighty people who have come to me these days. At least half of them want to be my agent, but I have not agreed. I just want to consider playing football now, not anything else." Tiger said after shook his head.

"nono." Ross said three "no" in a row, then shook his head: "I just said that I didn't think you would like to choose a transfer this season... Now your contract with Preston is still one and a half years, at least, you have to fulfill the contract for the remaining half of the season. First, you are playing well in Preston now. If you suddenly change the environment, you may not have such a good environment as you are now, which is also a harm to you. Second, transferring in the middle of the season is not a good thing for a player. This is not a good thing than a summer transfer. You have enough time to adapt to new teams and new teammates. There are few players who can perform well in winter. At least they have to give a discount on their performance."

Tiger nodded unconsciously. He thought Ross' words were very correct, which was why he had never thought of transferring this season, although he received a little salary in Preston...

"If I become your agent, I will discuss with you the advantages and disadvantages of the transfer. Tiger, I can see that you are a very independent player, calm and smart, knowing what you need... I will help you negotiate with the club and get the salary you should get, instead of the current 2,000 pounds a week, you are worth 20,000 pounds a week, or even more... Whether you stay in Preston or go to other teams, you need to have a good growth environment. I can see that although you are not young, you still have great potential to tap, and your future is not just like this."

"If you became my agent, what would you do for me?" Tiger thought for a while and asked.

"Now I can't do anything, just keep everything as it is. I just need to help you block some unnecessary troubles, and then help you contact some interviews that can positively increase your fame. In terms of contracts, I will do all the negotiations with the club, so that you can avoid unnecessary conflicts. I know that your income is not high, so after you sign a sufficiently generous contract, I will not take a commission from your salary. This half year is no different from before."

"I dare not say how talented I am, but I can guarantee your interests to the greatest extent and maintain a delicate balance between economy and competition. This is very important for a player. Some agents will keep players transferring continuously for more profits and signing fees. I will not do this, because doing so will make a player unable to continue to play to his level, which will affect my income - players cannot create value only through frequent transfers."

"And I have an advantage." Speaking of this, Ross spread his hands: "Since my last employer retired, I have no players in my hands. If you sign with me, you will be the only player on my hands. I will devote all my energy to help me with... You see, I'm really worth it."

Hearing this, Tiger couldn't help laughing. At least, this guy is a very interesting guy...

"Well, I don't think I'll find a better agent than you... When can we sign a contract?" Tiger said with a smile.

"You can sign the contract now." Ross took out a briefcase like a magic trick. Tiger then found that he had a briefcase under his armpit, but Tiger never noticed the existence of the briefcase - was it because Ross himself was too attracted to the attention?

Take out a stack of contracts from the briefcase and handed them to Tiger: "You can take a closer look and think I'm a liar if there is anything inconsistency."

Tiger smiled, took the stack of contracts, and then looked carefully - he had been fooled by Lin Dan before, which led to his life being kept in the hands of others. Now Tiger is paying great attention to these contracts and other things...

After carefully reading the contract, Tiger found that there was nothing different from what Ross said. It indicated that the two parties signed a broker contract, which lasted for two years. The other party would not take a commission from Tiger's salary in the next six months - in fact, it was not much. Ten percent of the commission was just two hundred pounds a week. This amount of money was really not enough for someone else's bow tie.

Next, the other party will help him block some interviews and will arrange some favorable interviews for him, which means that he does not need to be distracted from trivial matters and concentrate on playing football. After the end of this season, the other party will be responsible for negotiating with the club, fighting for a better contract or operating his transfer to other wealthy families. This article states that whether you stay in Preston or go to other teams, the agent must discuss with Tiger himself and negotiate before getting Tiger's approval. After Tiger signs a new contract, his salary and signing fee will be drawn 10%. At the same time, the agent will also invest his income, and the income obtained will also be charged 10%. Of course, these investments must be approved by Tiger before.

Tiger has also seen contracts between some players and agents before, which I saw in the Players Guild. It is not much different from the contract in front of me. If there must be one, then I can only say that this contract seems to be thicker than the contracts of other players...

He looked at his father with some difficulty. Old Li, who had been watching the contract, couldn't see anything wrong. Although the 10% commission made him feel a little distressed - how many fruits would he have to sell - but he couldn't find any fault in other aspects. Besides, the contract negotiated by the agent was much more than that of his son. It seems that there was no problem for him to get one tenth of his commission.

Seeing that he could not get any help from his father, Tiger decided to sign it. At least the contract is fair and binding on both parties. It doesn’t matter if he signs it. Besides, it’s only two years, and half a year of which the other party did it for nothing. Where can I find such a good thing?

While Tiger was looking at the contract, Ross didn't say anything, but looked at Tiger's actions naturally and occasionally helped Tiger explain the details of the contract.

"No problem, I think I can sign the contract now." Tiger raised his head and said to Ross.

Ross smiled, then took out a pen from his briefcase and handed it to Tiger.

After both parties signed the names on the contract, Ross handed over a copy to Tiger for him to keep it properly. The contract was in triplicate, one for each party, and another for filing, which seemed more secure for both parties.

After looking at Tiger's signature, Ross laughed: "Tigger, you have to practice signatures. In the future, more people will come to you to sign."

Tiger laughed. His writing was indeed not very well written. Ross' joke was very appropriate. In addition to reminding him, it also included the meaning that Tiger would become more and more famous, and more people would come to him to sign.

After signing the contract, the two seemed to be closer - the relationship between the player and the agent was very interesting, and they depended on each other. Ross stood up and said goodbye to do his own thing, while Tiger stood up and sent him to the door.

When saying goodbye, Tiger seemed to remember something, and then he asked casually: "By the way, Mr. Ross, who was your employer before? I'm very curious."

"Oh, that guy... He has been retired for half a year, Manchester United captain, the guy who always likes to hold his collar up when playing football." Ross said, touching his chin.

"Damn, Cantona!" Tiger thought in amazement. At this time, Ross had already shook hands with him, then turned around and said goodbye. When he turned around, he tied a thin flower of the cane with his walking stick...
