Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 27 Signing with the Eastern Team

After seeing Yang's terrifying performance that completely exceeded his expectations, Antonio directly made a decision. Lisbon Orient must take down this little guy who has just turned ten years old.

He was still skeptical about that period of Sporting Lisbon experience, but now Antonio understands that what Jose said before is not false at all. Young really grew up under the banner of the green and white lion, and his technical movements have a strong sense of aura. Sporting Lisbon style.

Antonio's understanding of Sporting Lisbon is also due to the former head coach. He spent a period of time at the Alcochete base and is very familiar with the skills of the Green and White Legion to train the cubs.

But rich knowledge in youth training does not mean good results in leading the team. After the five-game losing streak at the end of last season, Orient Lisbon completely fell out of the qualification zone for the promotion play-offs, and once again missed the chance to hit Portugal B. They still can only stay in the regional league.

In the middle of last season, the owner Almeida was full of confidence in the promotion of the second-ranked team to the Portuguese second division. He also ambitiously planned to increase investment and introduce several Portuguese veterans. Promise to the club fans that the stadium will be expanded if they succeed in the second.

Things are going well now, not to mention the investment and stadium matters, the head coach was fired immediately after the season ended, and no new recruits were hired, so Antonio was allowed to lead the first team and also had to work as the director of youth training.

Antonio found that he had unknowingly held great power. This is the title of "Manager" that has made countless head coaches jealous. The manager is a traditional British position with great power and wide jurisdiction. I don't know how many grades the head coach represented is stronger.

As for Lisbon Orient, a mid-range team in Portugal's third-tier league, their "manager" Mr. Antonio is not very impressed with the generous decentralization of power from the boss. There is no other reason. The workload has increased significantly, and the salary has increased a little. , who can stand it?
Although Antonio is a good man, he is also overwhelmed by the dazzling tasks to be processed every day. It takes time, effort and money to train his own children's team. The boss is happy to save trouble when he sees it. Players over the age of 12 are left.

When Antonio brought Jose and Jan back into the office, he sighed a lot. In the past, there were many children and parents in his office, but the feeling of disappointment only stayed for a moment. He understood that there are more important things now. Things need to be done.

"Mr. Rodriguez, please forgive my previous negligence." Seeing Jose's kind smile, he was also relieved, and continued, "If there is nothing else to consult, let's discuss Yang's training now What's the deal?"

Jose nodded: "I don't have any special requirements for remuneration, but safety issues must be guaranteed. You know the reason why Jan left Sporting Lisbon, can you understand this?"

"No problem, he is so young, the team will properly arrange the amount of training, I will also go to other coaches and students to say hello, you don't have to worry about this...

Regarding the length of the agreement, my proposal is five to eight years, so that a professional contract can be signed in advance at the age of 16. If the little guy joins another team in the future, the terms involved are transfer share and youth training compensation. troublesome stuff. "

Antonio was very excited when he said that, he really felt that Jan would become a peerless genius in the future of Orient Lisbon, and genius often represents achievement and wealth.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Antonio. In addition to these basic conditions, I have another request to make..." Jose looked a little hesitant, which made Antonio nervous. He felt that he would hear some very excessive conditions.

"There is no problem with the length of the agreement, but I want to add a special clause in it. If Yang receives an invitation for the youth training of the Portuguese League team within six months from now, we can pay a relatively small termination fee to leave the team..."

Antonio's expression became ugly. After hearing what happened to the other party running back and forth these days, he thought that José had given up on this idea, but didn't these words mean that he looked down on Lisbon Orient at all?

If you want to use the club as a springboard, yes, but the club also needs to earn money for youth training. You can’t say that you can come and go when you want. If this clause is listed, where will the dignity of Lisbon Orient be?Where is the dignity of his Antonio?
"Mr. Rodriguez, if you have the idea of ​​disrespecting the club, then I don't think there is any need for us to continue talking. No matter how talented your son is, I will not allow Orient Lisbon to recruit him. It’s a white-eyed wolf. I’m sorry, please leave.” Antonio said in a solemn voice, he was impatient to talk about something.

"Mr. Antonio! Please wait, you may have misunderstood my words!" Jose stood up nervously and explained with his hands spread out, "The special clause I said means that Jan is 'invited' and It's not that we took the initiative to find other teams, it's not what you think, go out and find another home behind our own club!"

Antonio's expression slowly regained his composure. He seemed to have lost his mind. In the past, Lisbon Orient had such youth training players who secretly signed contracts with other clubs. As a result, the team did not receive a penny of youth training compensation. Not to mention the transfer fee.

"And the time is only half a year, Mr. Antonio, please forgive me for my small thoughts, but few teams are willing to pay a full termination fee to a ten-year-old child. If they want to facilitate it, they have to pay for it themselves. I just want to Give Yang a small chance, if there is no Portuguese League team to invite him within half a year, this clause will naturally be invalidated.”

Antonio thought about it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with this father's thinking. Yang's talent and strength are there. If it weren't for the fact that several big clubs in Lisbon had their eyes on the top and didn't even give them a chance to try out, this young genius would not Would be cheap to come here.

But it's only half a year, and maybe he doesn't even have a chance to participate in friendly matches with other clubs, so who can be favored?
Those headstrong youth training directors in Lisbon?But kidding aside, they won't admit their mistakes at all.

As for the Portuguese clubs in other places?Maybe they don't even know where the Lisbon Orient address is, and it's a waste of time to think about them.

Since the so-called termination clause is so difficult to trigger and the time limit is only half a year, it is not a bad idea to use it as a means to appease Jose and Yang. Now that I have a thought, I will be even more determined to stay in the club in the future.

"Mr. Rodriguez, even if this clause is not as bad as you said, it is still not good for the club's face. This time, I am lenient because I know that the child has been wronged at Sporting Lisbon, and I will leave him a note. It is not unreasonable to take a broad road, but the time is only half a year, after this period, his training agreement will be no different from the normal one, understand?"

After hearing these words, Jose nodded and said yes. In fact, he was also thinking for himself. It is almost impossible to expect those club officials in Lisbon to turn around, and he knows nothing about foreign clubs. So this clause is nothing more than psychological comfort for him and Yang.

After completing the personal information and signing the agreement, Jose finally felt relieved.Although Lisbon Orient can only play in regional leagues, it is a professional club after all, and it is still very different from those amateur training institutions.

Antonio made a phone call, and the team's outfitter brought up a backpack. When he handed it to Yang, he showed a somewhat embarrassed smile: "I don't have your player's jersey of your size for the new season, so I just put it on." Two sets from last year, and a fan-style one, which may not be very comfortable to wear. As for the sneakers, the team uniformly uses Puma. If your feet are not suitable, you can use your own first, and I will order them later. .”

Jan thanked him and started looking through the contents of the backpack.

The main color of the jersey is ocher red. This rusty color is very resistant to dirt, unlike the green and white stripes of Sporting Lisbon that need to be washed frequently, but it is quite in line with the pragmatism of the small club.

Yang pouted quietly. This color is actually very earthy. Maybe the designer didn't consider the aesthetics at all, and just filled it with elements commonly used by clubs.

But this is also normal, small clubs will not prepare three different sets of jerseys like big clubs, one home and one away is already top-notch.

The away games usually have very contrasting colors, most of which are yellow, white and blue. The main colors of the club must always be used at home. The reason is simple. Home jerseys are the main commodity purchased by fans. If there is no special feature, no one will buy them at all.

In the Portuguese Cup, most of the small clubs will rush to the street early. The jerseys with individual characteristics are the last insistence of those fans. No one wants to lose to Sporting Lisbon and also clash with their green and white jerseys, or be overwhelmed It was impossible to tell who was who in the sea of ​​red Benfica at the Stadium of Light.

The Puma sneakers in the bag also looked a bit cheap. Although Yang used to wear the standard models of the club, he could still tell the difference between good and bad. This pair is obviously a low-end version, which is better than the one he wore when he just tried his skills. The old shoes are a lot worse.

Jan was a little disappointed, and his head drooped deeply, but before Antonio and others realized that this emotion was wrong, Jose put his arms around his son's shoulders and shook him, pulling him out of his pessimistic state.

"Mr. Antonio, then I will take Yang back first, and I will report on time tomorrow."

Jose shook his hand, packed the agreement papers, and left the Portugal Railway Stadium with Jan.

……

Back home, Jan asked Jose awkwardly: "Dad, I don't think this club is good at all, and their jerseys are also ugly. Although there is an eagle on the team badge, it is far from Benfica. Far…"

Jose shook his head, squatted down and held Yang's face, staring into his dark and bright eyes: "You must not think so, remember, Lisbon Orient is now the only club in Lisbon that is willing to take you in. , so you must know how to be grateful. Work hard, otherwise you will be left behind by Pedeno, the national team is the Portuguese second team, you have to work harder!"

Yang nodded vigorously, took out the ocher red jersey of the Eastern team, looked at himself in the mirror, turned around and smiled at Jose: "It turns out that it just looks ugly, and it doesn't look good on me." Ugly!"
