Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kungfu

Ye Chen took the bottle of 82-year-old Lafite and welcomed Mr. Mendez into the door.

Compared with the East, Western culture is more direct, with less detours and unnecessary politeness.

Ye Chen first introduced Green to Mendes, after all, they had never met before.

Green looked a little cautious.

He had only heard the name of a famous European agent on TV and newspaper news before, and this was the first time he had seen a real person.

"Haha, Coach Green, I know you!"

Mendes was very enthusiastic. After shaking hands, he gave Green a big hug.

Barrera watched a little curiously.

"What, you two know each other?"

Mendes nodded with a smile, "I know Mr. Green, he is the head coach of Inter Milan's youth team. Not long ago, Inter Milan played Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the Youth Champions League. I watched it live!"

With that said, Mendes took out his phone and showed Green a few photos taken on the phone.

In the photo, Green is wearing a blue and black Inter Milan scarf and is directing the young Inter Milan teenagers to fight on the sidelines.

Green was instantly amused.

"Dear Mr. Mendes, when did you have the time to watch our youth team's Champions League match? Why, haven't you watched the adult team's Champions League match?"

Mendez handed the scarf to Barrera, took off his coat, and hung it on a vertical hanger by the door.

"You can't say that. Although I seldom do business with young players, the current club chairman likes to buy 17- and 18-year-old young people. I have to go out and select them myself."

"Maybe there will be the next Ye Chen in it, hahahaha!"

Ye Chen put Lafite on the table and began to invite everyone to sit down and eat hot pot.

In the steaming heat, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

In fact, whether it is Ye Chen, Barrera, or Green.

For Mendes, he was quite surprised to come to Ye Chen's home in Milan to congratulate Ye Chen for a victory in the Italian national derby!

In other words, it is a kind of surprise.

It's not that, as Mendes, coming to Ye Chen's house is condescension, or the feeling of visiting a humble house.

Westerners don't pay attention to this, they are more direct.

Mainly because Mendez is just too busy!

This is something almost everyone knows.

As an agent with more than 20 top players,

Mendez's daily life, five days a week, is spent on long-haul flights and hotels.

It takes a lot of thought just to take care of the needs of these customers.

Not to mention, Mendes has recently been inspecting the performance of some young talents. Even in events like the Youth Champions League, he has to personally go into battle and inspect the players on the spot.

Therefore, Mendes was able to spare half a day to fly from Barcelona to Milan to have lunch at Ye Chen's house, which really surprised Ye Chen and the others.

Ye Chen also simply called Green and Barrera over, and the big guys were together, lively and lively.

Of course, Ye Chen still has a selfish intention.

That is to introduce Green to Mendes and make Green a client of Mendes!

Ye Chen is very aware of Coach Green's ability.

The reason why he left the position of assistant coach of Manchester United U17 is because he wants to be the head coach!

Being a deputy is a completely different experience than being the leader.

A team, only the head coach, can fully implement its own tactical thinking.

Ye Chen also knew that, with Green's level and ambition, he left England and came to Italy, where he was unfamiliar.

He will not be limited to being the coach of the youth team. After all, he will go to a team and be the coach of the first team.

Not necessarily Inter Milan, Inter Milan is not qualified;

For some middle and lower teams in Serie A or Serie B, Green may be able to pick up the coach of the first team there.

At this time, the importance of Mendes is revealed.

A good agent can help a head coach find a good job by virtue of his connections, which is the same as when a player finds a team.

Players have agents and coaches have agents.

That's how European football is.

In a standardized market, professional agents can always control the overall situation more accurately from a macro perspective than individual players.

When the hot pot game was in full swing, Ye Chen picked up his wine glass.

"Everyone, since this is my home, I will drink three glasses of wine as the master."

He raised his glass and reached for Green to his left.

"Green, sir, the first cup, I must respect you!"

"Last year, I was terminated by Manchester United. I had nothing to play. It was you who called Mr. Chivu. This is how I rose from the Inter Milan youth team to the first team."

"Mr. Green, without you, I might be driving screws in the factory, thank you!"

Green smiled and waved his hand, "Let's not talk about Manchester United's bad luck, look, I came to Inter Milan, didn't I also ask you to help me? This is called mutual achievement, come on, cheers!"

The two drank it all in one go.

Varela and Mendes watched with great interest.

Many players are grateful to their enlightenment coaches, or to the coaches who gave them key help at a major turning point in their lives, and can even miss them for a lifetime.

Just like football king Messi, when he goes back to his hometown in Argentina for vacation every year, he never forgets to visit his first coach at Newell's Old Boys.

"For the second cup, I was going to pay homage to Coach Chivu, thank him for appreciating me, but Mr. Chivu went to a club in Bulgaria as the head coach, so I can only respect Barrera for this cup, we two can make do with it .”

Facing the wine glass that Ye Chen stretched out, Barrera burst out laughing, not caring about Ye Chen's teasing at all.

He picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses, and got bored in one sip!

"I said Ye Chen, do you know what people say about me?"

"What did you say?"

"They said, as the main midfielder of the Italian national team, I know how to call a boy from China all day long, and call me the leader of Ye Chuan group, hehe, that's fine... But there is one thing I really want Can't bear it!"

Barrera slammed the cup on the table!

Boom!

The boiling hot pot on the table was bouncing up and down, and the soup almost overflowed.

Ye Chen, Green, and Mendes looked at each other, not knowing why Barrera suddenly lost his temper.

There was resentment in Barrera's eyes, and he made a sign language unique to Italians, complaining:

"Damn, last week I went to a party of one of my buddies, and I met a blonde girl at the party, and I can see straight!"

"I waited until she placed an order, and went straight up to ask for a phone number."

"I originally thought that after I explained that I was Barrera, he would obediently hand over his phone number and look at me with admiration."

"Unexpectedly, she stared at me for a long time with her charming big eyes, then took out her mobile phone, and found a piece of bullshit news from the tabloid that I don't know, saying that the reason why I, Barrera, always brag about Ye Chen , not how good Ye Chen is at playing football, but because I fell in love with Ye Chen, and said that we lived in an apartment, never separated, lived together, ate together, and even went to training together!"

"Then the girl said, sorry handsome, I only date real guys! And walked away!"

After Barrera finished speaking, he looked at everyone pitifully.

In the air, froze frightfully for five seconds.

Random bursts of violent laughter!

Ye Chen laughed so hard that he almost knocked over the wine glass on the table.

Mendes laughed so hard that he stood up directly, facing the wall, with his head buried in the arm supporting the wall, and the other hand slammed the wall with the frequency of the laughter.

Green laughed so hard that he was choked by the hairy belly in his mouth, and his throat was sore. He quickly took a big mouthful of red wine, looked up at Barrera's deflated face, and spit it out again in one gulp!
