Chapter 136 Raiola
"Hi, Gao. I know this is your personal privacy, but I still want to ask if Raiola is going to be your agent?"
On the way to Pelle's car to train, Gao Zheng was asked this question by Pelle.
He was confused: "Why do you say that? I have never had contact with Raiola..."
“The newspapers say that Raiola’s people are in contact with you.”
"That person from migure company?"
"Yes, migure is Raiola's agency."
Gao Zheng frowned: "I'm asking why are there so fewer unfamiliar calls in the past two days..."
As Gao Zheng became more and more famous, he received many unfamiliar calls. These calls were either self-recommendation to be his own agent, or he was very familiar with some big-name agents and was willing to match him. He only needed to pay a little bit of compensation. Someone became his own lawyer and said that he could help Gao Zheng manage his property. Something even more outrageous was that he called and said that he was a descendant of a royal family in an African country. The family had a huge amount of property that was currently frozen in a Swiss bank. He only needed to help raise some startup funds to lift the freezing. At that time, the other party was willing to give Gao Zheng 20% of all his property as compensation, and was willing to marry his daughter to Gao Zheng...
These harassing calls made Gao Zheng unbearable, but he could not turn off the phone simply and roughly. What if someone really couldn't find him?
So he could only turn off the phone while he was sleeping and enjoy a few hours of quiet time.
"It must have been scared away by Raiola's name." Pelle laughed. "He is now the hottest agent in Italy. The player he is targeting is impossible for other agents to be taken away, so everyone is going to get out of the way."
"Is Raiola so powerful?"
Gao Zheng had heard of Raiola and knew that he was a very famous agent, but Gao Zheng was not very clear about how good his abilities were. After all, he was still too far from Raiola's level in the past.
"Of course it's amazing. To put it in an exaggeration, AC Milan is almost becoming the Raiola team now, and many of the players are under his command. It is said that Galliani and Raiola have a good relationship, so there are so many Raiola players playing football in AC Milan. Finding a suitable agent can easily achieve the goal of playing football in the giants. Do you think Raiola is amazing?"
After hearing Pelle's words, Gao Zheng fell into silence.
"Although Raiola is annoying to many club managers, many players are happy to let him be an agent because he can indeed make a lot of money for the players... However, it is not that easy to make him an agent. Raiola doesn't look down on him at all. People from his company come to you, which means you have entered the ranks of top players, high!"
Pelle did not notice Gao Zheng's silence, but continued to introduce Raiola to Gao Zheng excitedly.

Gao Zheng found that everyone was really concerned about the issue of his agent.
After coming to the locker room, Romero took Gao Zheng aside and happily congratulated Gao Zheng. It was at this time that Gao Zheng realized that the agent of the Argentine goalkeeper was actually Raiola.
"I know there are many rumors about Mr. Raiola, but those rumors are not true. He is very annoying to the club managers and coaches? Of course, because they have different positions from our players, they certainly want to hire us with the least amount of money. But with Mr. Raiola, those capitalists can no longer exploit us at will! He will fight for the best conditions for you, so that you can make the most money in the shortest time, and he can also make you the top star! With your talent, coupled with the help of Mr. Raiola, I think this is not a problem at all..."
Romero was very excited about what he said, as if he had made a lot of money and had become a top star.
After the training, Gao Zheng was left alone by the club's general manager Zagramola, and the topic he talked to was still Raiola.
Although he didn't say it clearly, Gao Zheng could feel that Zagra Mora was a little nervous. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party had only had a preliminary contact with Gao Zheng and had no conclusion.
Then he returned to the locker room and Gao Zheng was called out by captain Palonbo alone.
The same thing that is talking about is Raiola.
"...I think Romero must have told you that Raiola can help you make big money in a short period of time. What he said is right. Raiola does have such ability. But I also want to remind you that Gao and Raiola are well-known to help players make big money, but they will also destroy the relationship between players and clubs. From a short period of time, there is no problem with making more money, but from a long-term perspective, I don't think that always having a good relationship with the club, and frequent transfers may not be a good thing for your career..."
Palonbo spoke very seriously.
Gao Zheng had to repeat what he said to Manager Zagramola to Palonbo: "Captain, the other party just gave me a contact information. I haven't contacted them yet, so Raiola is not my agent. And I will not ask Raiola to be my agent..."
"Hey? You're not looking for Raiola?" Palonbo was surprised. Few people, especially young players, can reject Raiola. In the minds of many players, he is almost like a godfather.
Even Ibrahimovic, who has always been unruly, is obedient in front of Raiola like a child.
"Well, don't look for it." Gao Zheng's answer was very straightforward.
"Why?"
"Well... because it was just a person from their company who came to contact me, not Raiola came in person. I don't think he valued me very much. There are so many players in his company to be agents. I think from this point of view, he shouldn't spend too much effort on me. Since he doesn't value me, I naturally don't have to ask him to be my agent." Gao Zheng found a reason.
But the real reason is probably related to the deep cooperative relationship between Raiola and AC Milan. He doesn't want to be tied up with Raiola and AC Milan's chariots.
Of course, the reason he told the captain also makes some sense.
What are you going to do if you have countless big-name stars in your hands and don’t pay attention to your agent at all?
Maybe some people think this doesn't matter. With their own efforts, the agent will always pay attention to their own things. But Gao Zheng is unwilling to play the game of building palace fighting in Raiola.
He needs to hand over all the business things to an agent who is worthy of his trust, so that he can concentrate on playing football.
"Uh, I heard that Raiola almost never takes the initiative to meet a player, except for those top stars..." Palonbo did not expect Gao Zheng to be so arrogant.
"I will become a top star, captain." Gao Zheng said with a smile.
Only then did Palonbo realize that he had already made the conclusion to Gao Zhengao a few seconds ago...
But he thought again that with the talent shown by Gao Zheng, as long as he does not suffer very serious injuries, he seems to be able to become a top star.
"I wish you good luck, Gao, you should be the most promising person in our team."
Palonbo patted Gao Zheng on the shoulder.
"Thank you, captain, but to be honest, I think Mauro has such potential as well."
Palonbo frowned and recalled the name carefully, and said, "Icardi?"
"Yes."
"He's still in the reserve team... Mr. Yachini didn't seem to think of him at all. He's such a poor guy... But next season, I think he can come to the first team. Then we have you two on the front line, which is really exciting, ha!"

Sanpietro watched Icardi pass by him with a football in his arms and ran to the middle circle behind him. He originally wanted to come up and celebrate the goal with Icardi, but when he ran in front of him, he was frightened by the expression on Icardi's face.
It was clearly a goal, but why did Icardi's face not improve at all?
"There are already four balls..." the assistant reserve coach on the sidelines murmured, "He is still running in the middle circle with the ball in his arms. What does this mean?"
"What does it mean? Isn't it obvious? He is not satisfied with scoring four goals." Reserve coach Tufano smiled.
"This is just a training match..."
"Didn't you give your all because it's training?" Tufano educated his assistant.
"Uh..." The assistant coach had nothing to say.
Tufano continued to look at Icardi with an admiring look on his face. He really found the treasure!
