Chapter 6 An invitation from Benfica

There was no call for more than ten hours. Although most of the time was at night, Mendes had begun to become a little desperate. Maybe the little guy had forgotten the business card he handed over.

But the black-haired boy came when he was about to give up. The boy appeared in front of him early in the morning. Lin Yi only carried a simple backpack and stood in front of Mendes. Looking at him, it was only at this time that Mendez's hanging heart was finally let go.

"Starting today, you are in charge of my future. I hope there will be no problem with our cooperation." Lin Yi's conversation was simple, straightforward, and even decisive beyond Mendes' expectations. He did not expect this little guy to be so fast answering himself, and he seemed to be ready for everything.

"I will tell you with actions that you did not choose the wrong partner. From today onwards, I will be responsible for your future. I will never disappoint any client. This is a guarantee. I will do what I say, trust me "Mendez was a little surprised by the conclusion of this deal, which made him a little hesitant when he spoke, as if he was afraid that the guy in front of him would run away suddenly, so he directly grabbed Lin Yi's hands and made a serious promise with.

"Uncle, can we have a good talk? I only sell my art, not my body. Hey, can you stop holding my hand like this? Don't you see that someone is already watching us? Uncle, this is in the hotel At the door, I don’t want to be surrounded! Hey, let go, don’t hold my hands! Hey, it’s broad daylight, what are you doing!” Lin Yi looked at the guy in front of him holding his hands Don't let go, he seems to feel a little dangerous. . .

This guy is not gay, is he?help. . .

The agency contract between Mendes and Lin Yi may be going too fast. This is the easiest time since Mendes signed a player. The kid just signed his name after a cursory look at the contract. Didn't even ask Mendes about contract details.

"Are you no longer considering going to a lawyer to consult about the contract? After all, this is a contract related to your future career. Isn't this too hasty?" Mendes felt that all this seemed to be developing too fast , It quickly made him a little uncomfortable.

"You said that you are a professional agent. I think there should be no problem with the details. My interests are also your interests. You will not cheat yourself, right? Besides, I don't have so much money to hire now. A lawyer helped me, what you said to me was honest enough, I choose to trust an honest person, if you really have a problem, it can only be my bad luck."

Lin Yi's answer is very simple. In fact, any kind of contract will have loopholes, especially this kind of contract involving a broker, there have been too many disputes.If you look into the problems here, you are looking for trouble. Instead of pursuing these, it is better to find someone you can trust.The uncle in front of him seems to be a trustworthy person. Although he is also a businessman, at least he is sincere sometimes.

For the first time, Mendes may feel a heavy burden on his shoulders, because there is a kind of trust in it.

Signing Lin Yi is not the end of Mendes' task, on the contrary, it is the beginning of his busy life.

Now the players on Mendes' hands have their own belongings, including the latest signing, Chris, who has also been promoted to the first team of Sporting Lisbon, but the little guy in front of him has no good destination yet.

Although Lin Yi had already told Mendes that the Sebatur team was ready to offer him a new apprenticeship contract, Mendes immediately rejected this possibility, which was completely impossible.

Mendes knows very well what the Portuguese league is like. If you want to get out of this league, unless you are in a big team like Porto, Sporting Lisbon or Benfica, those international scouts will never notice. you.

The little guy in front of him is almost 15 years old. What he needs now is to show his strength on a higher platform. Yes, he still needs to be polished, but Mendes hopes that the place to polish him is not Cy A team like Batur.

You'd better not expect to win any honors from such a low-level team. The strength of Sebatuer's team is really too weak. Even in the Portuguese Super League, he can only be the kind of relegation every year team.

A low-level team like Sebatur will only hover at the bottom of the league. It even needs to worry about the funds for the team. It is definitely not a good choice here.Mendes knows very well that without a big stage to provide you with opportunities, even if you have talent, it is a bunch of shit.

It’s the same even in the youth leagues. You will have more opportunities to go out if you work hard in teams like Benfica and Porto.

If you don’t want to stay in Portugal for the rest of your life, you have to show yourself on a better stage. Mendes believes that this little guy will definitely succeed, just like his beautiful excellence on the court. This is probably the first time for Mendes. Trust your instincts so much for once.

So Mendes will not let Lin Yi sign Sebatur's new contract. As the agent of this little guy, Mendes needs to think about the future of this kid. The Sebatur team is just a part of his career. one stop, now they need to move on to their next destination.

It is not difficult to solve the apprenticeship contract full of loopholes. Mendes is too familiar with such contracts. In his opinion, it is no different from a piece of waste paper, which has no legal binding force.

Sebatur's youth team coach may have been resenting himself for why he let Lin Yi play against Sporting Lisbon. That damn game cost him a chance to succeed. He understands what he missed.

The contract was successfully resolved, but now Mendes is faced with a big problem. He has to find another club for Lin Yi in a short time. There is not much time left for him. Portugal's The Youth League is less than a month away.

It is not easy to bring a player who has never played an official game to the market in such a short period of time. Although Sporting Lisbon has seen what this little guy is capable of, it is just an irrelevant game. An important friendly match, and they fell apart.

Even if the teams who heard the news have already smelled the potential value of this kid, no team will come to take him immediately. After all, not many people like to take such uncertain risks, and more people still choose wait and see.

Looking for opportunities for trial training while the league has not yet started, this may be the only good way Mendes can think of for Lin Yi now. He believes that this little guy's ability can impress anyone on the field, and he can use both feet Convincing others on the court is always more effective than rhetoric.

The pile of business cards left by the little guy yesterday played a big role at this time. The scouts who came to him were not agents.Their job is to collect those young guys who can be cultivated for the team. As for who is lucky enough to sign him, there is no conflict of interest with them. Mendes' phone call has aroused the interest of many people.

On the second day after Mendes signed Lin Yi, there were already three or four invitation calls from this little guy. They were all looking for this little guy to try out. Those who performed during the competitive team competition wanted to personally verify the authenticity of the news.

"Maybe, we are going to go around many teams. I wonder if you are ready?" Mendes put down the phone, looked at the little guy in front of him and said, after all, this kid is only 15 years old now, this kind of trial training My life is still a bit cruel sometimes, because it can be full of fierce competition.

"All my belongings are here. As for where to go next, I'll listen to you. If I haven't considered these things, I won't be standing here." Lin Yi pointed to the bag and said, in fact, he knew it very well. , If he wants to break out of the professional player business, he must face challenges again and again, and he has understood this since the time he decided to leave the church.

It doesn't matter, when he steps on the football field, he will not be afraid of any opponent, and it doesn't matter when the challenge will come.Defeating opponents with nimble feet is Lin Yi's way of survival on the football field.

"Sporting Lisbon is estimated to have been excluded by you, so our next stop is Benfica. There are coaches I know there. I hope God will give us good luck. The most important thing is that you killed Lisbon. They must have heard about the competition in the same city, I hope they can be interested in you, and their invitation is also the first to send over."

Mendes opened the car door and signaled to Lin Yi that they should start. Perhaps this journey will be the starting point of this little guy's career as a professional player. He hopes that the God who heard his prayers can bring him and this little guy good luck.

"It's a good idea. I'm already looking forward to the future city derby." Lin Yi smiled and pursed his lips.

"You little guy has never considered the problem of failing the trial training." Mendes said to this confident little guy.

"If you don't think about winning, then why go to the competition? Right?" Lin Yi's answer was straightforward.

"Very good self-confidence, I need you to maintain this state all the time." Mendes didn't say anything more, just gave this little guy a thumbs up, this is a kid full of confidence, which is very important to Mendes Said it was a good thing.

Benfica?It was indeed a good idea, maybe it would be more exciting to kill Sporting Lisbon once more in the official game. Lin Yi picked up the backpack in his hand and got into the car. At this moment, there was no anxiety in his heart, only a kind of expectation.

This is Lin Yi's football journey, and it will start from here. . .
