Midfielder.

Chapter 4
15:0, this is the final result of the game, although Mendes only watched from the sidelines for less than half an hour, but the black-haired kid has left a deep impression on him.

Every time he takes the ball, he looks so calm, even if the uneven field often makes the football bounce irregularly, it still fails to stop his forward press with the ball, and he can always use very dexterous technical movements Get rid of defenders entangled around you.

That little guy wasn't physically strong, but those who were much stronger than him couldn't easily knock him down.When this dark-haired kid tries to squeeze past you, it's hard for anyone to physically stop him.

What surprised Mendes the most might be the vision of this little guy on the field. Several times in a timely manner, he scored the ball in the middle and accurately hit the weakest defensive area of ​​the opponent. The score is really going to become the score of a basketball game.

It is not difficult to find players with good skills in Portugal, but it is rare to meet an organizer with skills and good vision.

Although it was just a street game, Mendes could already sense that the little guy had a talent to be envied.

Children at this age pay too much attention to their own personal dribbling, and they don't have a good sense of teamwork, including Mendes' evaluation of Cristiano. The team is more like a whole.

But this black-haired kid can grasp the opportunity of passing the ball very well on the court. He knows how to use his technology to open the gap in the opponent's defense, but he does this not for performance, but to win the opponent.

Although his dribble seems a bit immature or procrastinated at certain times, his keenness to find loopholes in the opponent's defense has already left an indelible impression on Mendes. The old man of the Sporting Lisbon team was right, this kid When the guy is on the court, it's like a knife, it's so sharp it makes people feel a little cold.

Under his leadership, the miscellaneous army was like a precision instrument, running perfectly. It was like this in the match just now. They crushed their opponents with all their might, and let the black-haired boy pass the fatal pass time and time again. appear.

It can be seen that he is the absolute core of this miscellaneous army, and those little guys will run around him and respond. This black-haired kid is like a commander on the field, but he is a bit tall. Short, according to Mendez's estimation, it looks like 1 meters.

However, the kind of potential he showed on the court made Mendes understand that he should never let go of such a good opportunity.

Maybe this little guy is still a little far from the requirements of professional players, but this football talent has already made Mendes tempted.

So after the game, he hurried up and stopped the little black-haired guy.He needs to have a good talk with the little guy, and this could be a good chance to sign him.

"Jorge Mendes? Football agent?" Lin Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his fancy restaurant outfit, while looking at the business card handed to him by the man in a suit.

He really didn't know where this guy came from, and as soon as the game just ended, he couldn't wait to stand in front of him and handed him his business card.And he started talking non-stop in front of Lin Yi. Lin Yi really wanted to say something to him, sir, we don't seem to know each other well.

Lin Yi couldn't get used to Mendez's rapid-fire Portuguese. This uncle was really nagging.

And now Lin Yi really wanted to go back to the church to take a bath, the sticky feeling of sweat on his body was really uncomfortable.But the man in front of him seemed to have a lot to say.

This made Lin Yi very helpless, but the guy's excessive enthusiasm could only make him listen patiently. All this was just for a basic courtesy, just like what his mother had taught him.

"Yes, I am a football agent with professional qualifications. My job is to help those who choose to play professional football to find a guaranteed contract, or a bright future."

Mendes tried his best not to look so excited, but the [-]-minute game that just passed gave him too much sensory stimulation, and now he really can't wait to sign an agency contract with the little guy in front of him .

Mendes now looks at this little guy as if he was looking at a treasure. There is no way, this kid is really too much like an uncut natural diamond of excellent color now.

"Are you from Sporting Lisbon?" Lin Yi really didn't know any serious football agent would come to this place to watch the game, and the guy in front of him had bright eyes, which made him feel even better. Like a bad guy full of evil thoughts.

The only thing Lin Yi can think of now is that the training match in Lisbon will bring him such troubles. Including the call from Lisbon a few days ago, several groups of people have already come here.

The noses and smells of professionals in these football circles are so sensitive, and Lin Yi has seen it. Sometimes scouts and agents are basically equated with hunting dogs.

If Mendes knew what the little guy in front of him was thinking now, he would definitely find a piece of tofu and kill him directly. Anyway, he was considered to be the kind of person with a relatively decent appearance in Portugal, but now he is in this little guy's He turned into a dangerous element in his eyes.

But now Mendes doesn't have time to think about so many other things. He doesn't know what's wrong with this little guy and Sporting Lisbon, but he can hear an unfriendly voice from this little guy.

In addition to the fact that Aurelio Pereira told him about the regret that this little guy missed Sporting Lisbon, Mendes felt very keenly that this little guy named Lin Yi didn't like Sporting Lisbon very much. So he quickly denied it, and he didn't want to cause any misunderstandings with this potential contract partner.

"NO, I don't represent any team. My task is to negotiate between the players and the team and strive for the best interests of each player. It can be said that I am the kind of person who is not welcomed by the team. The managers and presidents of those clubs absolutely hate running into agents."

While explaining, Mendes tried his best to ease the atmosphere with a smile. For some reason, he always felt like he was under pressure when facing this little guy. I was still nervous when doing player transactions.

"There are hundreds of thousands of people my age playing football in Portugal. Sir, why did you choose me? Don't tell me it's a coincidence. I would rather believe that I was struck by lightning than this kind of fairy tale. There are almost no outsiders in the stadium, you are a stranger to this small town." Lin Yi pursed his lips and looked at the person in front of him, hoping to get an answer.

Mendes could clearly feel that the little guy in front of him had matured beyond his age. If it was another kid, he might have started to look forward to the beauty of the professional league, but he was asking himself why.

"I also want to make a solemn statement. I am not from the Sporting Lisbon team, but I heard about you playing against them. There happened to be one of my signing clients in that team, and he told me about your playing. The game played at the Puma training academy, I was able to come here, just trying to find the guy who was regarded as a devil by their defenders. I think, I have found it." Mendes did not hide anything, he hoped to use this Communicate with the other party in a candid manner, even though the other party is only a child under 15 years old.

"I just saw your performance on the court, it was amazing, you have a talent that makes others jealous. You have every chance to become an enviable professional player, and it will be a well-known one. The purpose of my coming here is very Pure, just want to bring you to a bigger stage."

Mendes tried to keep his words to himself. He didn't want the conversation between the two to turn into a flattering compliment, which would make people seem insincere, although he really wanted to praise the little guy's performance on the court. technology out.

Lin Yi did not accept Mendes' words, but took out a handful of things from the pocket of his strange restaurant clothes and handed them to Mendes.

"What you said just now has been said to me by many people. These are the business cards they left for me in the past two days. Everyone who came here to see me told me how wonderful the future is. Sir, I I don’t know if you have also played professional football, I just want to ask, are there really only flowers waiting for me? Is it because money and beautiful women are already waving to me? Will I not encounter failure?”

Lin Yi's answer caught Mendes by surprise, but the pile of business cards in his hand were not fake, and some names were even familiar to Mendes.It seems that this little guy is not the only one who noticed the game he played in Lisbon. Those guys with a keen sense of smell have their own news channels. He is no longer a pioneer now.

The actions of competitors made Mendes feel the pressure, and the names of those well-known agents on those business cards stimulated his eyes.As if mocking the novice's self-importance, the fortress that none of them had conquered would not collapse because of his arrival.However, Mendes has a very good habit, that is, he will not give up easily on anything, and this time is the same.

Mendes was able to start his career in this industry, not only because of his professionalism, but also because Mendes will be very sincere in many cases.Holding these business cards, Mendes knew that there was no need for him to describe a bright future, because these people must have said too many such things and made too many promises about the future. At this moment, he can only tell the truth To be honest.

"Yes, no one can guarantee that they will succeed. The competition in professional football is very cruel. It will always face failure. There are too many so-called talents who are eliminated here. The football you play on the field makes me feel I'm excited, but I can't promise you any future because of this excitement. There are too many accidents in football. I can't guarantee that you will succeed, or you may be a loser. No one can tell the future Things. Now I can only provide you with some professional help, I can't promise anything else."

Mendes finally understood that it was not because of luck that he found him, but because this dark-haired kid had already rejected many people.All he can do now is probably to speak his mind, as for the outcome, that is only resigned to fate.

Listening to what Mendes said, Lin Yi showed an undetectable smile on the corner of his mouth.

He could even feel that the middle-aged man in front of him was a little discouraged, maybe the names on those business cards put him under a lot of pressure, but Lin Yi seemed very satisfied to hear such words.

"You are the first guy to be so frank. You didn't describe the future in front of me like they did, but aren't you afraid that this kind of frankness will make you lose the chance to sign me?"

"I really don't know if you are too confident in yourself or you are too honest. There have been too many people calling or coming to me in the past few days. They are all telling me about the bright future of professional football, but they don't Who told me the result after the failure, you are the first person to say all this honestly. Those business cards in your hand can already be thrown away. I will keep yours. As for the future, I need to think about it. When I think about it, I'll call you."

After Lin Yi said these words, he turned and left. He didn't even give Mendes a chance to respond, and he held the business card between two fingers, and shook it in the air with his back to Mendes, but Perhaps the most eye-catching thing in Mendes' eyes was Lin Yi's restaurant waiter's clothes.

It wasn't until the little guy walked away from Mendes that the middle-aged uncle suddenly realized that from the beginning of their conversation, the initiative was not in his hands, and he followed the little guy passively. Thinking, uh, is this kid really only 15 years old?

It seems that this little guy is not only teasing those opponents on the field, he also often handles his own affairs in such a seemingly cunning way on the field. He is really a headache. . .

Maybe now Mendes will find that his opponent is no longer those potential competitors, but this little guy named Lin Yi. . .

Mendes didn't know if he would get that call, at least the business card that was taken away gave him a hope that God could make it all go well.

Looking at the church not far away, Mendes prayed in his heart, but he didn't know if it would come true.

Maybe this seemingly pious prayer can impress God and help Mendez fulfill his wish. God bless, as for who is blessed, the devil knows. . .

The old guy never did anything serious. . .Hope he can open his eyes this time. . .
