Beast King Costa

Chapter 231
Jinan, the capital of SD Province, has the reputation of "Spring City".

Because there are many springs in the territory, it has "72 famous springs", so it is called "Spring City". , lake, river, city" unique style tourist city.

When the bus drove into the center of JN, the Benfica players were also deeply attracted by the scenery different from the seaside city of Qingdao.

"it's beautiful!"

"Wow! It feels like this city is very poetic!"

"Wonderful! This city must have a lot of history."

"Playing football in China, the living environment should be very good."

"I don't know, are the wages of Chinese players high?"

……

This made Diego want to ask them: "How about we all stay and try out the Chinese clubs? Let's see how many people can stay as foreign aid."

It's just that the Chinese Super League hasn't started the whirlwind of the "golden dollar policy" at this moment, and the wages of most foreign players are not high.

Of course, low wages also mean that the level is not high.

As far as Diego’s descendants are concerned about the Chinese Super League of this era, the deepest impression is that all clubs like to introduce "black and tough" big centers from Africa or Central and North America.

This kind of players with a relatively rough style of play is quite practical in the Chinese Super League environment where the technical and tactical level is not high at this time, and they all exist like big killers.

Diego is quite impressed by the foreign aid Ramirez from Honduras!It's a typical "black, rough and tough" style in the Chinese Super League.

In 2006, Ramirez had not yet played for Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals. He was playing for Shanghai Shenhua at the Hongkou Stadium.If you are right, Ramirez is still the top scorer in the Shanghai Shenhua team in the 2006 season.

It's a pity that the coaching staff of the Shanghai team felt that Ramirez's technical level was not high, and the team was going to play technically, so they didn't complete the contract renewal with this "black and tough". Afterwards, Ramirez went south, Joined the Guangzhou Medical Team aiming to surpass in the 2007 season.

Few people know that this is not the first time Ramirez has come to the "Yangcheng" Guangzhou.

As early as 2001, Luis Ramirez, who was only 24 years old, came to China for the first time and played for the Guangzhou Geely team of A-B team for a short time. On May 5 of the same year, Ramirez played against Jiangsu Sainty. He came off the bench in the league and made his debut in China for the first time.However, he got nothing in the four games he participated in, and was eventually considered a "parallel importer" and was fired.

It's a pity that this time Benfica will not have a friendly match with Shanghai Shenhua.

Otherwise, Diego could have played against this old foreign aid from the Guangzhou Medical Team.

Of course, this trip is worthwhile to be able to play against the very successful foreign aid Rikov in the history of the Shandong Luneng team.

After the Benfica group arrived at their destination, the senior management of the Shandong Luneng Club gave them a very high standard of reception.

The general manager of the club, Kang Mengjun, was at the destination of the bus, waiting for the arrival of the Benfica group.

When Fernando Santos stepped off the bus, Kang Mengjun greeted him with a smile on his face, and greeted him in fluent English: "Coach Santos, I am very happy to meet you! I am the general manager of the Shandong team. Junkang."

Diego, who followed Fernando Santos, immediately translated into Portuguese and greeted him in Chinese with a smile: "Hello, Manager Kang. I am a player from Benfica, Diego Costa."

"what!"

Kang Mengjun was stunned on the spot.

He really didn't expect that there are players in the Benfica club who can speak Mandarin. Although the accent is a bit southern, Kang Mengjun can tell that the Mandarin is very standard.

In order to communicate more smoothly with the Benfica group, Kang Mengjun also found a Portuguese translator who did not understand football to follow.

Now, Benfica has a player who can speak Chinese, so there is no such thing as an interpreter.

Kang Mengjun asked curiously: "Little brother, where are you from? This Chinese is very standard!"

Diego smiled and explained: "I am from Brazil. I have liked Chinese culture since I was a child, so I have learned Chinese since I was a child."

Of course, at this moment it should be a direct dialogue between high-level executives, and Diego can't steal the show too much.

After helping Fernando Santos and Kang Mengjun do some simple communication and translation, under the arrangement of Kang Mengjun, after Benfica and his party checked into a local five-star hotel in Jinan, Diego met with the general manager of Shandong Luneng Club. Have a few words alone.

Kang Mengjun said with emotion: "I was worried about language barriers before. Now it's all right, with brother Diego here, we don't have to worry too much about communication with coach Santos. In the next few days, we will have to trouble Diego. Little brother, you have a part-time job as a translator."

"Manager Kang, you are welcome..."

I saw Diego tentatively asked: "Coach Tubakovic, didn't you come with me?"

"Coach Tuba doesn't know how to speak Portuguese either. They speak Serbian. They are also worried about the language barrier, so they didn't come here... Oh! It's okay. Coach Tuba will definitely communicate with Coach Santos on football things the day after tomorrow. Hmm."

"I see."

After Diego nodded in understanding, he gave his own suggestion: "I think, Manager Kang, you should find a football professional Portuguese translator for the club. After all, the number of Brazilian players playing football in Asia has been increasing. More and more. I believe that in the future, there will be many outstanding Brazilian players coming to the Chinese league, and only with professional translation can these high-level foreign players be better integrated into the team."

"Brazilian players are currently the highest-level players in the world. We all know this. Even our club has always hoped to introduce high-level foreign players from Brazil. It's just..."

Kang Mengjun couldn't help but smile and said: "Brazilian players' agents are all experienced businessmen! Whether it is transfer fees, signing fees, or personal treatment, they are much higher than those of players from the former Yugoslavia - as we are now The combined wages of the three foreign players probably won’t be able to bring in a main player from the Brazilian Serie A.”

"Uh... understand, understand."

Of course Diego could hear the meaning of Kang Mengjun's words.

Shy!

After all, at this moment, because there is no team with relatively special goals like Evergrande, and the Chinese Super League has not yet entered the era of crazy "money races", the parent companies of each club have very limited investment every season. Maybe spend a lot of money on a certain foreign player?
Everyone splits one dollar into two and uses it. If you have money, you will also consider how to use it to be more efficient.

To a certain extent, in this era of the Chinese Super League, foreign aid from the former Yugoslavia, Africa, and Central and North America account for most of the sky, because the clubs are really cash-strapped~
