Chapter 112 Brokers and Career Planning
"What the hell……"

Long Shute looked at his comprehensive evaluation that kept falling rapidly, and there were ten thousand idiots galloping past in his heart.

The accidental injury in the first half of the year caused a significant decline in his physical fitness, but after recovery and a summer of hard work, the overall rating has increased from 76.0 at the beginning of the year to 79.6. This summer he made a breakthrough, and even his sprint ability, which had been stagnant for a year, rose from 18 to 19.

However, as familiar teammates left in large numbers and fresh blood came in again, Long Shute's teamwork dropped from 17 to 11, and his overall rating, which had finally risen, fell below 79 again and returned to 78.9. With the running-in of the lineup, the teamwork will soon rise again, but this change still makes him a little unhappy.

Just as he was about to add an hour of special training to himself after daily training, Suarez's voice came over.

"Long, do you have time to come to my house for a meal? Sophia learned a brand new way of barbecue in South Africa."

The Ajax captain enthusiastically extended an invitation to him.

The cheerful Uruguayan is very popular in Ajax. As a bachelor, Long Shute often goes to his house for dinner, so this time Suarez took the initiative to invite him, of course he has no reason to refuse.

"I think I should ask, you don't have an agent yet?" Suarez turned his head and asked on the way home.

"Dear Louis, are you kidding me?" Long Shute shrugged, "Do you think a player with a weekly salary of 3000 euros... still needs to find an agent?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, hehehe," Suarez's laughter didn't mean a trace of apology, "seriously, you are not an unknown person now, and if there is no accident, the club will definitely ask you to sign a new contract this season. Contract, I suggest you find a formal agent, he can also help you to get a better salary."

"Hmm..." Long Shute pondered for a second, then nodded, "I will think about it."

"By the way, I just changed an agent this year. I'm a retired Spanish player. I have good contacts in major European leagues." Bao Yasu asked with a smile, "He's in Amsterdam today. Do you want Don't think about meeting him?"

If Long Shute still doesn't understand the purpose of today's meal, then he will have lived two lifetimes in vain...

He had no choice but to continue nodding: "Well, thank you for being so enthusiastic."

Could it be that introducing clients to a broker...will also give him a commission?
-
"Hello, Sophia, you look very beautiful today..."

"Hello, Dragon, can't you greet me differently?"

"Oh no, you are very beautiful today. As your friend, I can't go against my true thoughts. You know, we Chinese have always been very honest."

"You kid, get out of here!"

As for Suarez's residence, Long Shute has been here many times, and he is quite familiar with Sofia.

Although Baoyasu was three years older than Long Shute, Sophia was the same age as him, so there was no generation gap between them.

There was also a bald man sitting in the living room. When he saw the guests coming in, he stood up with a smile and nodded to Long Shute.

"Long, this is what I just told you, my new agent, Mr Pere Guardiola..."

Suarez formally introduced the two sides: "Pere, this is my teammate and my brother, Long Shute."

"Guardiola?" Long Shute was stunned.

He is no longer the rookie who knows nothing about the football world. He has more than heard of the name Guardiola, and it is definitely known as thunder.

Isn't that the Barcelona coach?
He couldn't help but re-examined the person in front of him, and it was indeed very similar to Guardiola in his impression...

The other party smiled and stretched out his right hand: "I think you must think that I am the head coach of Barcelona. Sorry, that guy is my brother Josep, and I am my younger brother."

"Oh..." Long Shute suddenly realized, and quickly held Brother Gua's big hand, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Guardiola."

After the three of them sat down in Suarez's living room, Brother Gua briefly introduced his intentions and the players he signed to Long Shute, and then said enthusiastically: "I have worked in many clubs in Spain, England, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal. There is a good relationship, I have also served as a transfer consultant for the Barcelona club, if you are interested in them, I can also help to contact them."

The brother of the Barcelona coach!
That pretty much means...he can have a direct conversation with the greatest team on the planet!
I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone to resist such a temptation, unless that person is a staunch Madridist.

Guardiola has such self-confidence, so he is not in a hurry, just looking at his potential clients with a smile.

Under his gaze, Long Shute laughed: "Very tempting suggestion, Mr. Guardiola, I don't think I can join Barcelona now, and I don't want to be a substitute."

He is not crazy, who can he replace now?Harvey?Iniesta?Mascherano?Busquets?Or... Messi?
Brother Gua showed a slightly surprised look, then he nodded slightly: "It's really not that easy to blend in with them."

He has been in contact with many young people. When those little guys who have just become professional players heard that they might join Barcelona, ​​most of them were so shocked that they wanted to cry. No one has ever been as calm as Long Shute Self-possessed, he can even rationally analyze that his strength cannot meet the requirements of Barcelona for the time being.

"However... I really need a professional agent to help me negotiate a contract with the club," Long Shute thought for a while, "If there is any commercial sponsorship... that would be even better."

Who would dislike earning too much money?

Brother Gua has now suppressed his smile, and he opened the folder on the coffee table seriously: "Want to hear the career plan I made for you, Mr. Long?"

"I haven't signed a contract with you yet..." Long Shute laughed.

"It doesn't matter, I am determined to win this life, this is just starting work ahead of time," Gua brother didn't care, "I focused on observing your last few months in the youth team, as well as your performance when you first entered the first team and at the end of the season In comparison, I concluded that you are improving faster than young players of the same age, whether it is physical fitness or foot skills, you seem to be improving every day, and there seems to be no upper limit on you."

"You're too much." Long Shute waved his hand, "The main reason why I have been improving is probably because my foundation is too poor and my starting point is too low."

"Of course there is also this reason, but Louis told me that your potential is limitless. After a period of observation, I admit that his judgment is very correct." Brother Gua handed him a piece of printing paper, "You can take a look This plan."

The paper divides his career into four stages with the span of time, and it is filled with the names of clubs in various countries. Long Shute read it while Brother Gua explained:
"What you just said is right. Your foundation is too weak, so it is necessary to strengthen your personal skills, especially in terms of offense. It is almost difficult for a player who can't attack and only defend to gain a foothold in a wealthy team. As for the individual I am afraid that no club can match Ajax in terms of offensive skill training. After all, Dutch football has always had a fine tradition of active offense, and there are dual guidance from Van Basten and Bergkamp. There is still a lot of room for improvement. They may not be top coaches, but they are definitely the best teachers. You are now their key training object, so I suggest you play here for another one to two years. More than three years will be a waste time."

"When your skills gradually mature, you can enter the stage of the five major leagues. I suggest that you should not go to the sky and choose the giants. It is better to choose some mid-upstream teams that can compete for European qualifications. Take Serie A and La Liga as examples. Udinese , Roma, Lazio, Valencia, Villarreal, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid are all good choices, but I should remind you that there is a big gap between the level of Eredivisie and these leagues, you may It takes some time to get used to it.”

"After two or three seasons of hard work, you have reached the age of 24 and [-], and your body is fully mature, and you can enter those giants." Brother Gua has a confident expression, "Serie A Juventus, Milan, Inter, Bundesliga Bayern Munich in the Premier League, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League can all be your choice."

"When you are about 27 years old, you can probably make the most important decision of your life, join the greatest team in the world - Barcelona, ​​​​you will meet the best coach and the best teammates. To win the most honors, so as to usher in the pinnacle of your career.” Brother Gua smiled and added, “Of course, if you like Real Madrid more, I can also help you beat them.”

His expression was quite natural, and what he said could not be miscalculated.

In the pyramid of the football world, Barcelona and Real Madrid undoubtedly stand at the top of all teams. Bayern, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Milan duo and other giants form the second level, followed by the third level and the fourth level... …

Just like in the game, starting from a small team, and then running around, step by step to the top.

"I am very grateful for your attention, Mr. Guardiola," Long Shute read the plan carefully, and then sincerely expressed his gratitude to the other party, "I will trouble you in the future, maybe one day, I will join Barcelona."

Brother Gua breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "We are all looking forward to this day."

Long Shute glanced at his career plan again, and let out a cry in his heart:
27 years old to reach the peak?
I can't wait!
