[Football] Crown of Thorns

In the second round of the league, Boavista played away against Leiria, 0-1.

In the third round of the league, Boavista played against Bukara at home, 1-0.

In the fourth round of the league, the Boavista team played away against Ohannes, 2-0.

The Boavista team, which played four consecutive victories in one breath, attracted a lot of attention, and Gama, who performed well in the team, attracted a lot of attention.

That day Agostinho told Gama that he was going to be on TV.

"A TV show?"

Gamale, who came out of the gym, just wanted to go home and fall asleep, and didn't want to pay any attention to the interview program that the black-hearted agent said.

"My dear Xiko, this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself, and you must not let it go."

Agostinho patted his chest and said cheerfully.

"benefit?"

Hearing the meaning in the words, Jia Ma raised his eyebrows.

"Of course." Agostinho smiled wretchedly, "It's not about the appearance fee. Now your appearance fee is not much, but this program is different. He is from the Portuguese National Television (RadiotelevisaoPor-tuguesa) The live sports program is broadcast to the whole of Portugal. If you think about it, you can only be on this program, which can increase your popularity, and fans..."

"OK OK."

Gama waved his hand and interrupted him, "I don't believe that a rookie like me, who has just played in the Portuguese Super League, can be on this kind of national sports program. I want to be honest."

Hearing Gama's question, Agostinho rolled his eyes, "What are you doing so smart, I can just make a show!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Jia Ma was carrying his bag, talking with him as they walked.

"Get in the car," Agostinho opened the door and complained, "It's time for you to buy a car, and it's not that you can't afford it."

"It's too wasteful to buy a car for such a short distance." Jia Ma got into the co-pilot unceremoniously, "Besides, I don't have a driver's license."

"What?" Agostinho turned and stared, "You don't have a driver's license?"

"Yes!"

Although in my memory, Leizi can drive, but that is in the east, which is completely opposite to driving left and right in Europe. Can Jiama guarantee that he can drive, not to mention that Jiama has never passed the driver's license test. Not eligible to drive.

"You are now somewhat famous here, anyway, it is always more convenient to have a car, buy one!"

After hearing Gama's answer of 'no driver's license', Agostinho said after thinking about it.

"It's really useless to me."

Gama shrugged.

If he didn't live in the club dormitory, he would live in the apartment building with his sister Joanna. The club in the apartment building was only two streets away, and it took a few minutes to walk there. It was completely useless to drive for anything.

Agostinho rubbed his forehead, "The fans didn't stop you from signing?"

"Yes, but everyone is very enthusiastic and polite. As long as I say that time is too late, they won't block me."

Gama laughed.

"I really don't know what to say about you."

Agostinho complained.

"Then don't say it," Gama touched the radio switch in the car, "I want to listen to Direo-Geraldo Património Cultural, tune the channel"

Agostinho rolled his eyes at him, "Why isn't it a sports channel?"

"It doesn't make sense to listen to that."

Finally found the online cultural and historical interpretation channel of the Portuguese National Museum that he wanted to listen to. Gama closed his eyes and listened carefully.

Agostinho glanced at him. "What did I say?"

Gama, who was listening to the radio with his eyes closed, waved his hands, "I'll talk about it after I finish listening to this paragraph."

What if I really want to beat him up?

The grinning Agostinho rolled his eyes angrily.

To understand the history and culture of a country, one must read their history carefully. Gama has no past but he hopes to have a future that can affirm his own existence, so he studies for himself now.

When the car stopped at the apartment building, the broadcast hadn't ended yet, Jia Ma opened his eyes, "Let's talk in the car!"

Agostinho clicked his tongue, opened the car door, got out of the car, bought two cups of coffee from the small shop downstairs, and handed one to Gama.

"Yeah, it's about being on the show."

"Well, I wonder why you invited me?"

Gama asked calmly.

Agostinho took a sip of the hot instant coffee, "Actually, it's not you, it's you."

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't you recruited by the U20 National Youth Team? Next week, you will go to Egypt to participate in the World Youth Championship. The captain of this national youth team, and the rookie, you!"

Agostinho winked.

"Newbie?"

"Yes," Agostinho squeezed his fat body into the driver's seat, looking a little aggrieved, "Most of the members of this national youth team come from the youth training of the Portuguese Super League. A player, and the only age-appropriate player selected for the first time."

"Extraordinary goods to live in!"

Jia Ma muttered a Chinese word that didn't quite correspond.

"What did you say?"

asked Agostinho, who did not understand what he was saying.

"It's nothing."

Jia Ma pouted, "Actually, he's a photogenic companion, right?"

"What's the matter?" Agostinho disapproved, "As long as you can be on camera, look at your face." He suddenly reached out and pinched Gama's chin, looked up and down, "Such a handsome boy, who If you see it, don't you love it!"

Gama slapped his hand off, and Agostinho laughed, "You have to know that your face alone can attract many girl fans, and women are now the backbone of fan consumption, and this It's the economy."

No matter how you hear this, it doesn't please your ears.

Gama rolled his eyes, but he had to admit that Agostinho was right.

Now a player thinks well, not only to play well, but also to look good.

This is really selling meat and sex, it's not easy for anyone!

……Pooh!

Portugal National Television has two sets of programs. The first channel (Canal1) is mainly various news programs, and the second channel is cultural and sports programs. It broadcasts a total of 168 hours a week. The trade union and other groups and representatives jointly manage and operate exclusively, and the main source of funding depends on viewing fees and advertising revenue.

Therefore, the more controversial the program, the more interesting it is, the greater the influence, and the better the income, so the hosts of the second channel are trying their best to make their programs interesting and eye-catching. attract the audience.

The host of this live program on Sports Online is Paulo Pérez Fernandes (Paulo.Pérez.Fernandes). He is the founder of this program and is also a regular commentator for a football broadcast program of this TV station. It can be said that he is A host who has a good understanding of football, his football commentary has been sought after by senior fans before, because he not only can get all kinds of data at hand when commenting football, but also has a good understanding of football clubs at home and abroad It's quite deep, and all kinds of gossip and rumors come as soon as they are said, but the income rate of the interview program he hosted on Sports Online in the past two years is not too high. If it continues like this, it is very likely that it will be replaced by other programs , so he was a little anxious.

Because of this, when he told a friend about his troubles, that friend told him bluntly that the sports online interview he hosted was too uninteresting, and that if it was too professional, it would distract unprofessional fans. If they drive them away, they won't watch it if they find it boring, and the ratings will naturally not be high.

Perez, who reacted quickly, immediately asked Yu You, and his friend gave him an idea, recruiting a bright female partner, she doesn't need to be knowledgeable, she just needs to be beautiful and coquettish, and then specially Invite some unfamiliar or controversial players and coaches to tell some rumors and gossips or criticize some phenomena and events that they think are unfair, focus on sharp points, and be afraid of being scolded or no one will watch, etc.

After listening to his friend's suggestion, Perez immediately came to his senses, so after making changes to his program in the next few episodes, it immediately attracted the attention of many people in China. It became popular.

Then, one day, his friend hoped that he could do a special topic on the football national youth team, such as talking about the cultivation of new players, the prospect of the national team's future, and why the national team players did not cooperate well, what is lacking, etc. wait.

Although I know that my friend has his purpose, but the favor he owes needs to be repaid, so...

Of course, Gama naturally heard these inside information from his agent Agostinho.

"Your friend?"

Gama was surprised.

"NONO," Agostinho shook his finger, "but his friend is my friend, you know, friends will help each other."

"clear."

Human feelings and connections are always changing. This is the case in the ancient kingdoms of the Celestial Dynasty, and so are the people of all countries. I understand.

Gama laughed.

But he really didn't expect that his unscrupulous agent has good skills, and he still has such a connection. It seems that it is quite good to renew the contract with him. Although he is a fat man who wants money, he can use money to settle all troubles A good agent is much more useful than a clean and honest agent, and it is a very cost-effective renewal.

"In this case, what should I pay attention to after I go?"

Even so, Jia Ma humbly asked for advice.

Agostinho glanced at him, this kid is indeed a smart man, worthy of his investment.

"Be explosive, don't just pretend to be an honest person, young players must have personality and self-confidence but not overdo it..."

After explaining the precautions, Agostinho licked his lips, "Boy, I can only help you take this step, and the rest will depend on your performance on the court. As long as you perform well on the court, the Don’t touch DU (drugs) outside, don’t drive fast, by the way, you don’t have a car but you will always have one in the future, then it’s fine.”

Hearing the instructions from the unscrupulous manager, Jia Ma smiled, "So the point is, you must perform well on the court."

"That's right!"

Afterwards, the two talked about business affairs such as Gama's personal sponsor and advertising contract, and Gama got out of the car.

"Thanks, buddy."

Gama bent down and smiled at Agostinho in the car.

Agostinho hey, "Remember to make me some extra money, I love that."

Hearing the manager's shout, Jia Ma waved his hand without looking back, "Okay, okay, I will give you an island for your retirement when I get rich in the future!"

"OK, I'll wait!"

"no problem."
