There is a belief called football

Chapter 22 Being Targeted by European Scouts

Want the whole school to know me?
Li Qiao was obviously wrong.

Because he didn't let the whole school know him, but let the whole Guangzhou know him.

right!It's because of that flying fairy.

The thing is, on that day, when Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille were inextricably linked, one of Sochaux's substitutes had nothing to do, wandering around the school with a DV.

His original intention was to take more photos of the school's tall buildings so that he could show off to his relatives when he returned home. He didn't expect that when he saw Li Qiao's flying feet, he was stunned, and his DV recorded all this.

The moment Li Qiao scored the goal, he opened his mouth wide, and the lollipop in his mouth fell, and he was stunned.

*****
"Hey, have you seen that video?"
Everyone whispered in the restaurant.

"I have seen it, Niu X".

"I didn't expect that there are such talents in this school. I used to think that Hassler was a genius, but now it seems that I am too stupid."

"Shh, stop talking, Hassler is over there."

But in fact, Hassler had heard it a long time ago. He was not angry, not because he was not angry, but on the surface he wanted to maintain his German nobility.

All of a sudden, the whispers in the restaurant froze, and everyone turned towards the door of the restaurant, as if they saw something very strange.

"What's the matter, why are you all looking at me?" Li Qiao thought to himself.

After a pause of one second, everything returned to normal. Everyone should eat and eat, and whisper to each other when they should.

"That's the guy",
Such soft-spoken words kept coming and going, and Li Qiao didn't know about all of this. Li Qiao seldom surfed the Internet, and he didn't know that the Internet had exploded.

It's always unpleasant to be pointed behind the back, and Li Qiao didn't even want to eat when he saw this situation.

Fortunately, Qi Bing came here at the same time.

"Hurry up",
"What happened Li Qiao"?
"Quickly see if there is something dirty on my face, or if someone has posted a big-character poster on my back."

Li Qiao's first feeling was that he was being pranked by someone, most likely it was Park Han-sung, and Park Han-won and the two "Smectas" were not convinced after losing the game, and murmured to himself behind his back.

After understanding the cause and effect,

Qi Bing said: "You really don't know yet"?
"what do you know"?
"You are on fire",
Second monk Li Qiaozhang couldn't figure it out.

"Your weekend's goal is online, and now the whole Guangzhou knows it, look."

Qi Bing took out the newspaper.

Li Qiao turned to the second page, and saw a big headline that read: "Tianbao Football School Intramural Competition, Genius Scored Over Baggio".

Li Qiao saw that it was really him. Although it was just a side view, Li Qiao was confused in his heart. After all, it was a great honor to be published in the newspaper.

"I don't know if mom and dad can see it in Zhejiang," Li Qiao thought.

*****
At Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, a gray-haired foreigner is drinking coffee leisurely. He is flipping through a newspaper, preparing to pass the boring time in the waiting room.

The old man's name is "Lobarov", and he has traveled to China, Japan, and South Korea for many years. He is a scout for the strong Ukrainian team - "Dynamo Kiev" in Asia.

During this trip to Guangzhou, his first stop was Tianbao. After watching several games in the 5th grade, the old man was very disappointed.

The old man discovered several Japanese and South Korean players for Dynamo Kiev, and they also performed well in the Ukrainian League.

But the old man has always had a long-cherished wish in his heart-that is to bring Chinese players to Ukraine.

The old man knows that the Chinese market is huge, and it is impossible for the Ukrainian league to surpass other major European leagues, and he dare not even think about it.

But if Ukraine can open up the Chinese market, then everything is possible. As the chief scout of Dynamo Kiev, the old man not only has rich football professionalism, but more importantly, he has a vicious vision.

He understands the principle of winning the Chinese market in the 21st century, so the old man studied Chinese hard 10 years ago, and now he can speak good Chinese.

But after 10 years, the old man's Chinese became more and more fluent, more and more Chinese friends came to China, and the number of times he came to China became more and more frequent. However, limited to the level of Chinese football, the old man has never found a favorite player who can take to Dynamo Kiev.

Since last year, Lobarov thought about it again. There are probably no good seedlings for Chinese senior players. He can only find talented players from China's youth training and bring them back to Ukraine. Training from a young age, maybe he may realize his wish in his lifetime.

But after a year, the old man traveled all over China's big and small football schools, and in the end he went there excited and left disappointed.

This week-long visit to Tianbao, the old man is still full of expectations. After all, he has heard about the strength of Tianbao. This kind of strength is not only a big investment, but more importantly, many foreign coaches have been hired, and the concept is synchronized with Europe.

After a week of investigation, the old man found many excellent seedlings, not only meeting the standards of Dynamo Kiev, Ukraine, but even going to the youth teams of the five major leagues.

But the problem is that none of them are Chinese.

This morning, after another disappointment, he will embark on a flight to Kiev again. He is very emotional in his heart. He is 55 this year, and maybe it is impossible for him to open the Chinese market in this life.

When he opened the newspaper and turned to the second page, the old man's hands trembled, and he knew that he had found it.

*****
The taxi drove the old man to the gate of Tianbao Football School.

When the guard came out and saw Lobarov, he wondered, "Didn't this foreigner leave?"
But after all, he is a distinguished guest of the school, and the guards dare not neglect him.

"Mr. Lobarov, you are...".

Lobarov pointed to the newspaper and said: "I want to find this person."

The guard took the newspaper and read it, "I'll report this to the principal first."

"it is good",
Lobarov has seen Tianbao's bureaucracy this week, and on second thought, if he finds the principal, he will definitely have to sell foreign players again.

The principal is a businessman, and what a businessman wants is to make money. All he cares about is that the players trained by Tianbao become popular in Europe. He doesn't care if they are Chinese or foreigners.

"No, it's too late. I just chatted with him a few words for my morning flight, and I'll leave right away." After speaking, Lobarov signaled the taxi not to leave.

The guards were in a difficult situation. Tianbao's guards used to be very aggressive. Anyone who came would not be allowed to enter, as long as he didn't say hello in advance, regardless of whether you were driving a Bentley or a Ferrari.

But there is one thing, the headmaster has specially ordered that when European scouts come, they must be treated politely. After all, scouts are the parents of the football school.

Lobarov is now an expert in China. Seeing that the guard hesitated, he knew there was something wrong and said, "If I miss the plane, I have to ask the principal to pay for my air ticket."

The doorman thought about how cordial the headmaster and Lobarov had been a few days ago, and thought: "What am I doing as a bad guy, why don't I just have a favor."

"His name is Li Qiao. He is in the Masai class. The coach is Stan. I will take you there."

Lobarov smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Thank you, no need, I will go by myself."

*****
"You want to take Li Qiao to Ukraine", Stan asked in surprise.

Yes, mild-mannered Stan rarely loses his composure.

"Yes, Mr. Stankovic".

To be polite, Lobarov still called Stan by his full name.

Stan has always believed that Li Qiao's future must belong to Europe, but what he didn't expect was that everything came so early.

Stan knows what that means?
90% risk plus 10% opportunity.

This is because Stan once had such an experience. At that time, a very talented Chinese player under Stan was spotted by the Spanish team. Although Stan felt that it was wrong, the player himself was already very happy. Even 100 donkeys could not make him change his mind.

But 5 years later, he returned to China. To be precise, he returned to China with a sense of loss.

Stan talked to him, and there were many reasons for the failure, but in general it was the language barrier, European disdain for Asian players, and a huge gap in level.

It's like throwing a scumbag into a bunch of high-achieving students, and everyone speaks different languages. The sense of loss is unbearable.

In the end, with Stan's encouragement, he played for a team in China, and he was still able to survive.

Since then, Stan has been very cautious about his disciples studying abroad. He understands what it feels like to be lifted up to the ground and smashed to the ground. That is enough to make you lose interest in football, and it may be forever.

So Stan answers almost instinctively: "No".

*****
"No"?
Lobarov didn’t seem to believe his ears. The reason he asked Stan was out of politeness. After all, after seeing the headmaster’s hospitality, he thought it was a great honor for Tianbao’s players to go to Europe. There were only those who cried and flattered him. He never expected that there would be rejections.

"Can I ask why it doesn't work"?
"Mr. Lobarov, do you think it is possible for an Asian player of this age to go to Europe?"
This question really touched Lobarov's heart. Although Lobarov introduced several Asian players to Dynamo Kiev, they were all mediocre and well-regulated. Although it promoted Dynamo Kiev's commercial promotion in Japan and South Korea, it was indeed unsuccessful in terms of football.

"Mr. Lobarov, I treat Li Qiao like my own child. I know that his success rate in going to Ukraine is very small. Don't forget that I am also from Eastern Europe."

Lobarov was silent.

"But as far as I know, Tianbao's system is different from that in Europe, and the school does not have any intentional contracts with students."

Stan understands that Li Qiao has no legal connection with the school, which means that he can leave whenever he wants.

Not wanting to look like he was threatening Stan, Lobarov said, "At least let me meet the kid".

This is something Stan can't stop.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll call him."

Stan left the office, and Lobarov watched Stan's back. He knew that taking Li Qiao away was not as easy as imagined.
