football's number one madman

Chapter 68 Becoming a Superstar
After spending an unusual Christmas Eve, Lee Polo's football career started again.

On December 12, the Wimbledon team arrived in Portsmouth to challenge their opponents in the 26nd round of the league.

Portsmouth is not an unknown person. They won the league championship twice as early as the League One period. After entering the Premier League, they have always been the backbone of the league. - In the 2007th season, he won the FA Cup runner-up.But in the same year, they deducted 08 points due to poor asset management and debt restructuring, and they were dropped into the British Championship.

This is just the beginning of their nightmare. In the 2011-12 season, they were once again deducted 10 points and relegated to League One due to business problems and debt restructuring. In the 2012-13 season, they were directly relegated to League Two with another 10 points deducted...

Until April 2013, 4 months after entering the managed state, Portsmouth finally completed the transfer tug-of-war. A group of fans officially took over the club's operations. Without the support of capitalists, the team can only rely on die-hard fans. Play with love.

In a sense, Portsmouth and Wimbledon have many similarities, which also makes the game less tense, and even hangs a warm slogan "All fans are one family" on the court.

But when the referee blew the opening whistle, the warmth and friendliness were instantly forgotten by the Wimbledon players!
Midfielder Suteran scored with a long-range shot in the 7th minute, and Dubis extended the score in the 15th minute. Many fans of the home team felt the cruelty of the cold winter before warming up their seats!
After all, Wimbledon has always led the standings, while Portsmouth is only ranked 15th. The gap in strength between the two sides lies there, and it is normal to turn away from customers!

Lee Polo didn't let go of this great opportunity to score points. In the 37th minute, he took advantage of the opportunity of a set kick in the frontcourt and scored with a header, extending the score to 3:0.

Of course, he also had many chances in the second half, but unfortunately none of them scored. He only assisted Akinfenwa in the 62nd minute and scored the fourth goal of the game.

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Adrey replaced Li Polo, Akinfenwa, and Smith in advance, and also asked Connolly, Kennedy, Sweeney and other substitute players to look for the game status.

The statistics of one pass and one shot, zero mistakes in defense, and zero opponents are perfect enough for a defensive player, but Lee Polo is a little bit unhappy.

Because Lisanna's father, Bruce, had already told him that the most famous football agent in the British Isles would come to watch the game in person!
Who wouldn't want to conquer such a football predator with a perfect performance?
In case that guy disliked him because he had so many free kicks, why did he only take one chance?
Fortunately, he didn't worry for too long, and he received a message from Bruce:

"Come to the box above, let's talk about your contract."

Li Polo greeted Cox, wrapped his fluffy down jacket tightly, and climbed up the steps of the stands step by step.

In a certain box, he saw Bruce chatting with another old man.

The old man seemed to be over sixty years old, with almost no hair on his head, his forehead was shiny, and he was wearing a pair of narrow-rimmed glasses. Under a dark suit, his belly could not be concealed at all...

The overall impression is indeed that of a capitalist who plays with connections.

After seeing Li Poluo coming in, the manager quickly stood up and stretched out his right hand:
"Here comes our star of tomorrow. Jonathan Barnett, nice to meet you, Polo."

The age difference is more than 40 years, and the status and status are very different, but his tone is as relaxed as if he is chatting with his own juniors.

Li Poluo relaxed slightly, and reached out to shake his hand:
"I am honored, Mr. Barnett."

Bruce smiled and motioned to sit down:

"We started a little later than expected, but fortunately we didn't miss your goals and assists."

Lee Polo sat on the sofa, trying to make himself less restrained:

"Today's opponent is not considered strong, but the field is a bit slippery, and I didn't grasp a few opportunities..."

What he said was true, the slippery turf made him dare not fully use his strength when taking off, so naturally he couldn't give full play to his header ability.But the venue conditions are fair to both parties, speaking out will only make him appear too competitive.

But Barnett doesn't seem to care:

"I've been following you for a long time, you don't have to be surprised, and you don't have to think that Bruce recommended you to me. In fact, my company has always had dedicated staff responsible for following up talented players from low-level leagues as part of future investment. .Like Dele Alli in Milton Keynes, but unfortunately, he has been pre-empted by Rob Siegel. But now I am convinced that you are more worthy of investment than Dele Alli."

Lee Polo gradually began to believe that it was not accidental that he got attention.In the football market, hoarding young players as early as possible is also a common strategy used by agents. The ownership of many talented Brazilian young players will even be bought out by those agents-this means that when European teams want to buy them, they can only buy them. Let the broker ask for the price!

After playing for half a season, Lee Polo also has a lot of confidence in his heart. He is not humble about Barnett's evaluation:

"I promise, you won't regret it, Mr. Barnett."

Barnett showed a smile, and a gleam of light seemed to flash through the dark lenses:
"I like your confidence. Confidence is also an essential quality to become a superstar."

Lee Polo leaned back on the sofa:
"I like my confidence too. Hahaha."

Barnett reached for his glasses:
"Bruce should have told you that I want to help you find a better next home next summer."

Lee Polo nodded.

Just listen to Barnett continue:

"In addition to England, I also have some channels in Spain, and recently, I have also had contact with some Chinese clubs. For example, Evergrande and Suning, they once wanted Gareth to join the Super League, but unfortunately the players themselves are not interested."

Lee Polo couldn't help laughing.

Then he heard Barnett throw the question again:

"What about you? Are you willing to join the Chinese Super League team? I just need to package your achievements a little bit, and those teams will flock to you, right? As far as I know, the income of the main players in the Chinese Super League may be higher than that of the Chinese Super League. Some relegation teams are much higher."

Li Poluo didn't refuse immediately, but thought seriously for five seconds before answering him:

"Sorry, I'm also not interested in joining the Chinese Super League."

Barnett didn't seem surprised at all, but instead showed a look of appreciation:
"I am even more convinced that you are worthy of my investment."

At this moment, they heard three whistles from outside the box:
"Drip, drip, drip~~"

He stood up with a smile:

"Okay, let's talk about this for now. I'll bring you the official agency contract next time. Go and gather with your team!"
-
Note:
Some of Barnett's players:
Bale, Ashley Cole, Pickford, Trippier, Saul, Jor Hart, Luke Shaw, Lallana, Zeke, Chilwell.
