Chapter 272 Found a treasure

When Li Yuxin turned his attention back to the Premier League, he found that what should come is still here. Ramsey and Nasri have come, while Lehmann, Gilberto Silva and other veterans have left.

The European summer transfer market is officially closed, and the Premier League powers have supplemented their respective strengths in the transfer market.Having just completed the acquisition, Manchester City, which has a lot of money in hand, can continue to spend money like water.Manchester United signed Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov for £3075 million at the last moment, which is also the second highest price in the Premier League this summer; Arsenal has invested heavily in the introduction of new midfielders Nasri and Ramsey, and Chelsea has two strong players, Bosingwa and Deco.Tottenham have invested heavily this summer. They have successively introduced strong players such as Dos Santos, Modric, Bentley, Gomez, Pavlyuchenko, and Korluka. The total investment has exceeded 7000 million pounds, but they also earned back 6000 million pounds by selling people.Liverpool also signed Robbie Keane, Riera, Dossena and Diego Cavalieri this summer, and their overall strength has been improved.And it is Manchester City who are really spending money to fight for the status of the giants. Their total spending this summer exceeds 1 million euros.

What, you brought him here, Li Yuxin was surprised, who is it.Turn back the time to the summer transfer period,

At this time, Wenger was most short of money.Fortunately, a large number of veterans were cleaned up and Hleb was sold.Not just with some transfer fees.It also frees up salary cap space.Li Yuxin had already brought a wide player Bell to Wenger before. .But this is not enough, so Wenger is ready to introduce another wide player.What he saw was Marseille's Nasri.

Now Jerome.Anderson was squeezed out of Arsenal, and Arsenal's transfer facilitator became Mendes.

When Mendes arrived in Marseille, he found that the staff had come to pick him up.The staff was very embarrassed and said to Mendes that the sports director of Marseille was going to come to pick Mendes up in person.But it was temporarily blocked by a player.

Mendes nodded and followed the staff member to Marseille sporting director José.Anigo's office door.Just at the door Mendez heard Jose.Anigo's impatient voice.

"But, Mr. Anigo. I think I..."

"Either in the second division, or stay in the youth team. I still have things to do, you go out."

Mendes shrugged, and looked at the staff next to him with some doubts.Because Mendes found that Anigo was very impatient with this player, and he didn't know what player was so unpopular.Anigo is not a person with a bad temper, how could he not give this player face like this.

"boom--"

A player opened the door very frustrated and was stunned when he saw Mendes and the staff.Although his face was very ugly, he nodded to Mendes and the staff, and then left the place.

He is a big man with a height of 1.9 meters, taller than Mendes.Mendes had a good impression of him, and he was so polite in his own frustrated situation, which is definitely a rare player in football.Just looking at this kind of self-cultivation is enough for Mendes to look up to.If a player can maintain such an attitude, as long as his talent is not too bad, he will definitely be able to play.

"Who is this?"

"A player in our youth training camp is called Madehi Benatia. He didn't develop in our youth training camp, so we loaned him to the second division. But he wanted to be loaned to the first division, so he came to find Mr. Anigo."

"Oh!" Mendez memorized the name,
And Madehi.Benatia.This player Li Yuxin has some impressions. It happened to be the end of 2013 before Li Yuxin came to this time and space.In the summer of that year, Roma introduced a defender at a price of 1350 million euros, which was a very high transfer fee for Serie A where the transfer market was already very sluggish at that time.And also a central defender.It is quite surprising that Roma can spend 350 million euros.

Therefore, Li Yuxin simply checked the defender.In fact, Li Yuxin hasn't paid attention to Serie A for a long time since "Phone Gate".Therefore, some stars in Serie A are unfamiliar, and they only paid attention to Ma Dexi when they were in the transfer market.Benatia.Only to find that he had already performed very well in Udinese, once with Milan's Thiago.Silva and Juventus' Barzagli are tied for the top three defenders in Serie A.More importantly, after moving to Rome, although Li Yuxin did not finish watching the 1314 season, his performance in the first half of the season was still very good.

When the best transfer in Serie A was selected, Madehi.Benatia's name is also impressively listed, and it is on par with Kaka who came for free.It's just that Li Yuxin is not very familiar with this player after all, so he has long been forgotten.I didn't recognize him when I met him just now.If it weren't for the staff member saying his name.Li Yuxin couldn't think of this person at all.

Now that I think about it, it really is this player.What Li Yuxin didn't know was that in history, Ma Dexi.Benatia performed so well in Rome that he became a favorite in the transfer market in the summer of 14.European football also believes that his worth can exceed 3000 million euros, and this is because he is in Rome.If it is in some other clubs.Maybe it's worth more than 4000 million.

There are many giants interested in him.Giants including Barcelona and Bayern are interested in him.Think he can improve their backline.He is a very popular central defender in European football in the summer of 14.

This period of history in Marseille also made Benatia abandon the French national team and instead joined the Moroccan national team.It is precisely because of Anigo's contempt and suppression that France lost a top central defender that should have belonged to them.

Back to the Marseille office,
"Oh, Jorge. Sorry sorry."

Just when Mendes was still thinking about Benatia, Jose.Agni came out.After seeing Mendes.A very warm apology to Mendes.

"Nothing, Jose."

Mendez and Anigo knew each other.

Mendes came this time for Nasri's affairs.But although he was talking with Anigo about the possibility of Nasri's transfer to Arsenal, he was thinking about Madhehi.The Benatia thing.Now there are fewer and fewer good central defenders in European football, so that the prices of good central defenders are sky-high.Like Chelsea's David.Louis is not really the top central defender, but he is also worth 5000 million.

As long as the later central defenders operate well, it is easy to sell more than 3000 million.Selling 4000 million or 5000 million is the skill.Although Mendes didn't know about Benatia, but from the way Anigo treated him just now, we can know that this is a player who is not taken seriously at all.

So Mendes returned to his branch immediately after the brief talk.Then Mendez began to investigate the Benatia matter.

The more he looked at his profile, the more amused Mendes felt.I don't know if Benatia offended Anigo in his previous life. Anyway, Anigo is not optimistic about Benatia at all.Benatia's background is okay, because he is a player from the famous Clairefontaine youth training camp in France. Although he is not the top talent of the Clairefontaine youth training camp, he is also a qualified graduate.

He is a player born in 87.In terms of the development of football, a large number of masters came out in 72, and 76 was another peak period.After these two times, although there are some good years later, they are still not as good as 72 and 76.The time cycle went back to 87, and it was another star peak period.

Such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Cesc Fabregas, Cavani, Suarez, Joe Hart, Hamsik, Vidal, Higuain, these people are all stars born in the 87 generation.And 87 is a very special year for French football, because after the golden generation in France, the most famous and loudest are the Four Little Swans.

Among the French Four Little Swans, Ben Alpha and Benatia are classmates of Clairefontaine, Nasri and Benatia are classmates of the Marseille youth training camp, and they are even roommates.As for Benzema and Mene, they are both in the same age group and have a good relationship with Benatia.But it's useless to have a good relationship. The four of them are now very popular, and they are hailed by French football as the flag bearers of French football in the future.

But Benatia was completely different.His roommate Nasri performed well in Marseille and has already attracted Wenger's attention.But Benatia was constantly being exiled.

On March 2006, 3, before the match against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes in Marseille, due to dissatisfaction with the number of seats and safety issues in the stadium, the president of the Marseille team, Pep Molde, called on the fans to boycott the game. It was also decided to let the Marseille reserve team play against Saint-Germain, which gave many young people the opportunity to show themselves on the Ligue 5 stage.The boys in the reserve team had a great performance in this game, and they drew with Saint-Germain.It's a pity that such a good opportunity, but Benatia failed to play in the game. He was left in Marseille by the team's sports director Jose Anigo."We don't think the player is capable of playing at this level," Anigo explained to L'Equipe.

In 2006, Saint-Etienne coach Eli Pope wanted to sign Benatia on loan, but Anigo responded that the defender could only be loaned to Ligue [-].Anigo told Pop that Benatia's level should not play in Ligue [-], he should play in France's second division.

This is the tragic Benatia.Some people already think that Benatia's strength is good, just like Pop admires Benatia very much.But Anigo doesn't think so.Anigo believes that Benatia is not strong enough and can only play in the second division.But loaning is not easy in itself, because if you are lucky, you can get a chance to play.Sometimes the luck is bad, and the clubs that loan players are unwilling to bother to train players, so they can only sit on the bench.

Benatia is already 20 years old, but so far only played a few games in Tours in the second division last season.Anigo can be regarded as a very capable sports director, but it is so unfair to Benatia that he is not given a chance at all.And they always beat him, thinking that he doesn't have the strength to play Ligue [-] at all.I really regret signing a three-year professional contract with him two years ago, and wish I could get rid of him quickly.

After reading it, Mendes could only smile wryly.Benatia can be regarded as a bit of a loser, having run into such a sports director who is not optimistic about him.Mendes also got some footage of his practice and games from last season.On the whole, he is still young, so he is a little reckless.But he has a serious attitude towards the game, strong ability to grab the ball, fierce grabbing the ball, and good marking ability.And no matter what kind of opponent he faces in the whole game, he can maintain his seriousness for nine to 10 minutes.

From this point of view, it should be said that the ability is not too bad, and I don't know why Anigo looks down on him whether he lives or dies.Mendes is not clear about Benatia's history, it's just a pity for such an excellent central defender.What Mendes didn't know was that what happened to Benatia in history was the beginning of the tragedy.He continued to be ignored in Marseille and then went on loan to the second division team.After going out on loan next season, the club will not give him the chance to play at all.He was injured in January next year, but Marseille didn't care about him at all after the injury.In the end, he had no choice but to transfer freely to the French second division when the contract expired, and began his life of struggle.Started from the French second division to Udinese, and then performed well to join Roma. At the age of 27, he was favored by European football giants, and his net worth rose to 3000 million euros.

But this period of history in Marseille also made Benatia abandon the French national team and instead joined the Moroccan national team.It is precisely because of Anigo's contempt and suppression that France lost a top central defender that should have belonged to them.

"It's a waste, it's too wasteful. Jose is simply ruining a good player. Since you don't cherish him, don't blame me for taking him away."

Such a good player fell from the sky, if he didn't pick it up, it would not be an act of being struck by lightning.Anyway, the money was sent to him, and he would be an idiot if he didn't pick it up.

"Madehi. Benatia. Are you interested in playing in Portugal?"

"Portugal? Are you?"

Benatia is very professional.Being so excluded in Marseille, he is unknown, but he never relaxes his demands on himself. Even after the season is over, he is still practicing silently to improve his level.He hoped that one day Anigo would change his attitude towards himself.

It's a pity that what Benatia doesn't know is that the higher the person is, the more stubborn he is.Just like Anigo doesn't know why he doesn't like Benatia, but since he has been suppressed for three years, he won't change his mind now.As long as he is in Marseille for one day, Anigo will not give Benatia any chance.

But Mendes likes such players very much.Don't give up when you are down, and keep trying to improve your level.Even if he becomes famous in the future, he will not be proud. He has professional qualities that many other players do not have. It was because of this that he took a fancy to Deco in the first place.

Benatia was at her lowest emotional moment right now.They all came out of the Clairefontaine youth training camp and came to Marseille at the age of 16.But in the past four years, those who have been with him have become famous and started to play in Ligue [-]. They are considered by the French football circle to be the Four Little Swans and the future of French football.But he was firmly suppressed in the youth team.Marseille's sports director Anigo is very uncomfortable with him.No matter how hard he tried, Anigo looked down on himself.

This person in front of Benatia is impressive.Because I met him just the other day in Marseilles, in front of Anigo's office.Unexpectedly, I received a call from him today. As soon as I met this man, he said that he wanted to take him to Portugal to play football.

Portuguese Super League?Although it has developed rapidly in recent years.But for Benatia, the Portuguese league simply cannot be compared with the French league.And the Portuguese league is too unfamiliar.

"Me? My name is Jorge Mendes, an agent. You should have heard my name."

"Jorge Mendes."

Benatia thought the name was very familiar, but suddenly couldn't remember it.So he frowned and thought for a while before he slowly remembered.Surprised: "Are you Yuxin Li (a foreigner's language habit) and Cristiano Ronaldo's manager?"

"Yes."

Brokers are just that.Mendes has been strong in recent years, and he has handled many transfers. No one in the industry knows Mendes's strength.But the fame at that time was concentrated in the interior of football.But after operating Li Yuxin's commercial contract and just operating Cristiano Ronaldo's commercial contract, Mendes' reputation began to spread.Except insiders.There are also many ordinary players and fans who have recognized Mendes as a big agent.

No matter how low-key Mendes is.In today's information-advanced age, it is impossible to hide yourself.After all, there are superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Yuxin.Therefore, Mendes also frequently appeared in newspapers, so that ordinary people began to understand the agent and the agent behind it.

"You may have heard of it. I just recently manipulated the commercial sponsorship of Li Yuxin and Cristiano Ronaldo, which has tens of millions."

"Tens of millions."

"Then you are looking for me..."

"Let's go. I checked your profile recently. Your strength is still good. But you have no future in Marseille. Anigo has a bad impression of you. No matter how hard you try, you can't change Anigo's impression of you. Since there is no future in Marseille, follow me to Portugal. There you can show your ambitions."

"To Portugal?"

Benatia hesitated.He has lived in France since childhood.Received football training in France, graduated from the famous Clairefontaine youth training camp, and then entered the famous Marseille youth training camp.It's a pity that the youth was good, but the development after that became worse and worse.But even so, he wanted to stay in France.

"Madehi, even if you leave Marseille to join other French clubs, you can only play in the French second division. In the French second division, unless a striker can score [-] goals a season, or a player can assist a dozen or twenty in a season, only at this level can the French football really pay attention. If a central defender from the French second division wants to come to Ligue [-], one out of ten is not bad."

Benatia looked sour.Because what Mendes said is right, a league like the Second Division is not even as good as many other foreign small leagues.Unless they perform extremely well, they simply cannot attract the attention of high-level leagues.And the defender is even more so.

"Come on, come with me to Portugal. There you can get full game training. As long as you perform well, all the top leagues in European football will pay attention to you. The Portuguese Super League has far more attention than the so-called French Second Division. As long as you perform well in the Portuguese Super League, many clubs will be interested in you."

"Let me think about it, please?"

For Benatia's caution, Mendes was not angry at all.On the contrary, Mendes is very satisfied with Benatia's prudence, because only with such an attitude can he be more successful in the future.

"Drip-drip-"

"I'm sorry, Madhee. I have a call."

Mendez looked at the phone number.The expression immediately became serious, and then he turned on the phone and said, "Michelle, hello."

"Okay, okay. I'm in Marseilles, in the afternoon. I'll go to Paris in the afternoon, and we'll meet there. All right."

　I'm sorry to watch the AFC Champions League, let's add a big chapter first, and decide whether to add more according to the situation
