I Want to Be the King of Football

Restello Stadium in Lisbon.

Scout Figurredo hurried to the door of the office of technical director Carlos and knocked twice.

Come in. came the familiar voice of his boss, Carlos.

Figuerredo opened the door and went in, went straight to the opposite side of the desk, and took out a poorly packaged VCD from the file bag in his hand, and gently placed it on the table in front of Carlos.

Boss, this is just sent by Portugal Athletic Club.

Carlos glanced at it, and the name of the team was written in a thick black wrapper, and there was a number 36.

Or about that Chinese player? Carlos asked indifferently.

A week ago, Atlético de Portugal sent a player report about a young player in their team.

In the scouting report, head coach Gorba praised the player, believing that he has the best strength among his peers, and the speed of progress is very amazing, the talent is quite high, and the future is worth looking forward to.

Bellerences is not the top giant in Portugal, but it is also a Portuguese Super League team.

As a technical director, Carlos is also well-informed. He has seen countless player profiles. The recorded player videos and VCDs can be said to be piled up. Every scout and every agent will do everything possible to tout their players. Once, decorate it with all kinds of gorgeous rhetoric.

These people are like eloquent, shrewd and capable salesmen, and what they want to sell is a commodity called players. Carlos has long been accustomed to this.

So much so that when the Portuguese Athletic Association recommended it, although Gorba’s description was not very exaggerated, in Carlos’ view, it was just a way for small teams to sell players, and their rare exaggeration.

How many geniuses can you dig out of the mountain of player materials?

In the past week, the Portuguese Athletic Association submitted a total of three reports on the Chinese player, and the urgency can be imagined.

Yes, they just went to Madeira yesterday to play a game against Maridimo II.

Goal again? Carlos raised his head slightly and asked.

Figurredo nodded, One more in.

Gorba has really paid for it. It is estimated that their finances are quite embarrassing now. A small smile appeared on the corner of Carlos' mouth.

Figuerredo knows that this is also a tactic used by many teams.

But I think you should take a look.

After hearing this, Carlos raised his head and looked at the scout subordinate in front of him seriously, What do you think?

This time it's a volley from the penalty area, it's not too difficult, but... Figuerredo paused for a while, thinking about his words, I see his play, it feels a bit like Barty Stouta.

God of War? Carlos was a little surprised.

A bit like.

Carlos nodded.

It is not new for young players to imitate famous stars with similar characteristics. It can even be said to be a common feature of most young players, and many people imitate the god of war Batistuta, because there are too many fans who like the Argentine god of war.

Of course, most of these fans are very physical and strong, so that they can play Batistuta's taste.

Wait, you just said, volley? Carlos suddenly remembered something.

Yes. Figuerredo nodded, This ball is a bit suspected of leaking, and it is not difficult, but to be honest, like the previous two balls, it is rare among young players.

Carlos looked at the CD in front of him, nodded and said, Okay, put it for now, I'll look back when I have time.

When Figuerredo was about to turn around and leave, Carlos warned again,

Call Gorba to find out about the situation, find a chance, and go to the scene to see.

Figuerredo agreed.

He knew in his heart that Bellerences was a Portuguese Super League team, and he was not very concerned about such low-level young players.

Anyway, in the satellite club, don't worry about him running away.

Meanwhile, in Benfica's administrative offices at the Stadium of Light, a few kilometers north of the Restello, scout Abel Silva handed over the same CD to Luis Fee, the director of football. In front of Lipe Vieira.

This is a player video I just got from Atlético de Portugal. They have a young Chinese player named Su Dong, who has just turned 17 this season and scored in the last two rounds. Three balls.

Oh? Vieira was surprised.

The main reason is that the player is from China.

In recent years, major European giants have been aiming to develop the Asian market, especially China.

As Portugal's top giant, Benfica has some turbulence in the past two years, but it also has ideas for the Chinese market.

Vieira didn't say much, just took out the CD and put it into the CD-ROM drive of the computer next to him.

It didn't take long for a video with blurry quality to be played on the computer screen, which could only be seen clearly.

If I'm not mistaken, Atlético de Portugal will be a partner of Belerenses, right?

Yes, they have worked with Bellerences for many years.

The two teams are very close to each other and communicate a lot with each other. There have even been occasions where players from Belerenses have been loaned to Atlético de Portugal to compete, but training is still carried out in Belerenses.

The three Portuguese super teams in Lisbon all support their own cooperative clubs in the city. For example, Benfica has FT Benfica, Lisbon Sporting has Casapia, and Belerenses cooperates with Portugal Atlético.

There are also some teams that cooperate with multiple teams at the same time, such as Amadora and Auer Harrensen, these two teams are also partner clubs of Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon.

Such a team is usually a team with strong youth training and excellent player ability. Only then can they have enough chips.

Of course, as a big team, there must be more than one club to cooperate with.

For example, Benfica, although not cooperating with Atlético de Portugal, has a close relationship.

The Abel Silva in front of Vieira debuted in Benfica's youth training and has also played in the first team for many years, but a year ago he was still playing in the Portuguese Athletic Club, and he has a lot of connections with this team. strands of contact.

When the Athletic Club wanted to introduce Canelas, it was connected through Abel Silva.

...

The two watched the slightly blurred game video, mainly focusing on the No. 36 player.

Especially after he volleyed and scored the equalizer, the expression on Vieira's face changed obviously.

This kick is very powerful. Vieira said.

Yes, movement awareness and placement judgment, as well as the final footwork, I think he plays a bit like imitating Batistuta, it looks good. Abel Silva laughed.

Vieira nodded, It's really interesting.

Last year, Benfica held a presidential election. The previous chairman, Azavido, lost to the famous businessman Villario in the election. The latter adopted the same campaign strategy as Real Madrid president Florentino, tying the legendary Benfica star Tony. , won all the votes of the fans, and after being elected, Villario did not hesitate to force away the former coach Jose Mourinho, who had just led the team to a 3-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon and won the focus of the same-city derby.

Not long ago, former chairman Azavido was sent to prison on suspicion of money laundering.

Benfica's finances are very bad, which is why Villario came to power. After taking office, he had to start drastic reforms and wanted to create a young, energetic and competitive team. Last season's sixth place in the league That's the price to pay for this reform.

After the reform, Benfica has an inexplicable desire for young players, especially after seeing the talents in the youth training camp of the rival Lisbon Sporting, Quaresma, Marcelino and Cristiano Ronaldo...

Especially that Ronaldo.

I heard that the technical director of Sporting Lisbon just recommended him to the national team senior Freitas not long ago, hoping to recommend him to the national youth team, Although Quaresma is now red, please believe that Ronnie is the The hope of Portuguese football for the next ten years.

Not many people know this, and Vieira is one of them.

One trade off and the other on the other, and the rival talent is at its peak, which also makes Benfica worried.

Introducing high-level talents has also become Vieira's top priority.

Abel, you should contact the Portuguese Athletic Association immediately. We will go to the scene to see the next game.

After speaking, Vieira thought for a while and reminded: Be quick, don't give your opponent time to react.

Abel Silva nodded.

He knows very well that the opponents here are not just Bellerences, but other teams.

Su Dong didn't know that he had successfully attracted the attention of Benfica, and he was still the same as usual.

The team returned to Lisbon from Madeira overnight. In the early morning of the next day, Su Dong got up on time for training, and then went to the Edward VII Park Stadium.

Ronnie had already guessed that Su Dong would do this, and the two of them practiced hard on the indoor football field in the park.

When I was tired, I took a rest on the sidelines.

Su Dong casually handed over a bottle of Bull, unscrewed the cap of the bottle in his hand, and started drinking.

The drinks exchanged in the system store are indeed good things. After drinking, the recovery speed of physical fitness during rest is significantly faster.

Ronnie looked worried.

What's the matter? Are you in trouble? Su Dong asked with concern.

Ronnie sighed and nodded, I encountered a little trouble.

Su Dong thought it was a family matter, and immediately thought of his brother who was a drug addict, and felt a little helpless in his heart.

There is nothing he can do about this kind of thing, nor can he express his opinion, so he can only keep silent.

Ronnie didn't take the initiative to speak, and Su Dong didn't ask, so there was some silence between the two.

When the bottle of water was almost finished, Ronnie suddenly sighed and said in an indignant tone, I want to change my agent!
