i want to be king

Chapter 360 Barcelona has taken a fancy to you!

Marcos Senna has always felt that since he was a child, he has been an unlucky kid.

Once, like other little friends, he also fantasized that he would be favored by fate, that he would be like the heroine of the novel, with a halo of awesomeness, and achieve great achievements for a generation!
But gradually, time has worn away his edges and corners, setbacks have cut off his sharpness, and he began to become humble.

He had to be humble, he had to keep a low profile, because after living for 28 years, he accomplished nothing.

……

Born in the hometown of football in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he has received football training like many of his peers since he was a child, but he is different from the hero of the novel. He obviously belongs to the type of player who is not talented and is not appreciated by others.

As a result, his early career can only be mixed in Brazil's low-level leagues.

After switching to many teams, he came to Corinthians in [-] and made his first breakthrough in his career here. He helped the team win the league championship and the Sao Paulo State Championship. At the same time, he also won the only world championship in his career so far.

The first Club World Cup champion!
That was in January 2000. On a whim, FIFA wanted to create a cup competition to compete with the Toyota Cup, so they formed the Club World Cup and invited eight teams to participate. The venue of the competition was Brazil, with Corinthians as the host.

In the end, Corinthians won the championship, and then, the tragic Club World Cup has been suspended until now.

The fate of Marcos Senna is the same as that of the short-lived Club World Cup. Although he won many championships, the [-] games he played on behalf of Corinthians were all substitutes, and all of them played in garbage time.

For example, in the Club World Cup match against Real Madrid, he replaced Richardinho in the No. 805 minute.

It can be said that Corinthians' achievements have nothing to do with him, and even he himself is embarrassed to say it.

After only one season at Corinthians, Senna left on a free transfer and went to Juventud, but within a few days, he moved to San Caetano do Sul, where he met Villarreal's scouts.

At that time, Villarreal went to inspect another player, but was attracted by Marcos Senna and bought him to Spain with a transfer fee of 60 euros.

This is a career leap for Marcos Senna!
That year, Marcos Senna was already 26 years old.

Although he has long passed the age of dreaming, he still feels that he has finally come to the end of his hardships. He is ambitious to show his talents in Spain and to help Villarreal make a difference.

When signing with Villarreal, Marcos Senna chose his favorite NO.19 jersey. The club executives told him that this is not an auspicious number, so it has been empty, hoping he can change it.

But Senna, who was full of pride at the time, said that this was his favorite number, he didn't want to change it, and he was not superstitious about it.

But it turns out that he is not material for a novel hero after all.

At that time, Villarreal coach Munoz trusted him very much and let him play the main role as soon as he came. He played for 10 minutes every game, and Senna also performed well, which made people see his strength.

But the reason why supporting roles can't become protagonists is because standing at the crossroads of fate, they always choose the wrong direction.

After playing good football for half a year, Senna injured his cruciate ligament in the game against Real Betis and was absent for a year and a half. He didn't come back until the end of the second season.

This more than a year of recuperation time made Senna completely believe that he was destined to be a supporting role.

So, he completely gave up his ambition to become a leading actor, and he began to train humbly and low-key, down-to-earth, but even so, this damn fate still did not spare him.

This summer, Senna has gone through a complete preparation period and is in very good condition. He wants to make a difference for Villarreal, but he did not expect that after the pre-season Toto Cup match against Atletico Madrid, he turned out positive in the drug test.

How is this possible?
The final reason given by the club was the wrongful use of illegal drugs.

FIFA is also lenient with him, only suspending him for two months.

But it was these two fatal months that made Senna's future once again in doubt.

Two months ago, he was the team's main midfielder, but two months later, his partner Josico's position became more solid. Hector Fonte and Sebastian Battaglia began to fight for power. The Argentine international Sorin didn't play left.

When Senna came back, he suddenly found out, is there still a place for him in this team?
Coach Pellegrini talked to him and told him that the coaching staff still trusts him and hopes that he will perform well and strive to play the main position.

But Senna is very broken, this main position is originally his, isn't it?

What made Senna even more hesitant was the atmosphere in the locker room.

With the joining of Argentine players such as Sorin and Figueroa, Villarreal now has six Argentine players.

This is actually normal, not only Villarreal, but also rivals Valencia in the same city also like to use Argentine players.

Pellegrini has a background in coaching the Argentine league and has a preference for Argentine players. As a player from Argentina's rival Brazil, Senna is the only two Brazilian players in the Villarreal team, one is him and the other is Sony Anderson.

Unfortunately, Sonny Anderson's main position was robbed by Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan, who was transferred from Manchester United.

This made Cena very hesitant. He always felt that he would lose his position just like Sony Anderson.

……

"CTMD! It's fine if you don't let me be the main character, can I just quietly play a supporting role?"

"Should I be born to be the kind of dead-on-the-job who receives box lunch?"

Senna raised his head and shouted to the blue sky in his heart.

Just when Senna finished venting his inner depression and worried about what to do next, the cell phone he put in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

"Hello." Senna answered the phone.

"Hello, Marcos." An unfamiliar male voice came from the phone, "My name is Jorge Mendes."

Upon hearing this, Senna jumped up from the grass like an electric shock.

Jorge Mendes, this is the agent who has become famous in European football in the past two years. The biggest star under his command is Su Dong, who just won the double football player.

Speaking of Su Dong, Senna couldn't help but rang out the high center forward he had defended on the court more than half a year ago.

"Hello, Mr. Mendes." Senna quickly replied.

"I talked to your agent and he said that if you want, I will be your agent from now on."

"What?" Senna was shocked, "Why?"

He was completely confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Barcelona has their eye on you!"

As soon as Mendes finished speaking, Senna's hand visibly shook, and the phone almost fell to the ground.

"Barcelona fancy me?"

How could Cena believe such a lie?

"Haha, Mr. Mendez, are you kidding me on purpose?"

Because things are too bizarre and too exaggerated, Cena will not believe it anyway.

At the lowest point of life, a sudden turn of events and a piece of pie falling from the sky, isn't this an adventure that only the hero of a novel is entitled to have?

When will I be able to meet this unknown little pawn who is a dead man?

"I'm not joking, Marcos." Mendes replied solemnly.

"No?" Senna was even more surprised.

Mendes was silent for a few seconds, and after he calmed down a bit, he explained: "Su Dong recommended you to Barcelona."

Su Dong?

Senna was taken aback again, what does this have to do with Su Dong?

Under Mendes' patient explanation, Marcos Senna slowly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Barcelona needed a defensive midfielder. Su Dong played a game with him in Valencia before and was particularly impressed by him, so this time it seemed that Barcelona recommended him.

Barcelona didn't even think about buying him. The first players they were interested in were Arsenal's Edu, Juventus' Tacchinati, Porto's Maniche and other famous European players. They didn't look down on Marcos Senna at all.

But later, due to various reasons, Barcelona's midfielder signings were frustrated and had to turn their attention back to La Liga.

Villarreal has always wanted to buy out Riquelme, and Barcelona has no idea about this Argentine midfielder who has been on loan for a year and a half. Therefore, the two sides hit it off and decided to negotiate Riquelme's transfer in advance and include Marcos Senna in the transfer.

Why didn't Senna know?

Because from the beginning to the end, the focus of the negotiation was Riquelme's transfer fee, which had nothing to do with Senna.

After listening to Mendes' "story", Senna felt like he was dreaming.

He wondered if he was lucky?

Otherwise, how could Su Dong recommend him for no reason?

Why would Barcelona want to buy him?
But in any case, Mendes has come to the door, which proves that the deal is true.

He is not dreaming!

"Marcos, think about it carefully. This deal should be finished before January [-]. If you don't have any objections before that, then I will negotiate and sign with them as your agent." Mendes said on the phone.

Senna did not answer, he has not fully accepted the shock of this incident.

The pie was so big that it almost killed him, and he had to digest it slowly.

"By the way, Jorge, can I ask you a question?" Senna suddenly thought of a very important thing.

"Well, yes, you ask."

"Su Dong, why did he recommend me?" Senna asked.

"To be honest, we were all surprised." Mendes smiled slightly. "Sudong said that he played a game with you, and he also followed your game during his stay in Valencia. He felt that you are a very capable player, but you have been buried all the time."

Senna opened his mouth in surprise, unable to speak for a long time.

　Chapter 3 has been written for the longest time, and the draft has already been prepared. When I wrote it, I went to check the information for a long time. Dear friends, how do you feel?
