Chapter 5 Chapter [-]: Boots ready to go

Kabinet collapsed on the warm bed in the hotel room, and he slept soundly and soundly.The anxiety and uneasiness of yesterday was released, and the moment he signed his name on the contract, he firmly believed that he was free, the freedom to shine freely on the court.

I opened my eyes and got out of bed, it was almost dusk.Kabinet stood in front of the window with a water glass in his hand, looking out the window.Only then did I have time to look at the small city in front of me, with unremarkable architectural style, sparse pedestrians, the streets did not show the noise it should have, and it did not have the urban high-profile of Eindhoven.

What's in it for Cabinet?
There is a newborn soul, and a newborn soul is waiting for him at the Camenes Stadium.

"Beep, beep, beep,"

The phone in the room came to mind, and Kabinet picked it up.

"Hello."

"Hello, is this Kabinet?" The voice was soft and friendly.

"Yes, I'm Kabinet. Crete. Kabinet."

"Oh, hello, I'm the head of Granada's youth player management team, Tees."

"Oh. Hello, Miss Teess. Any arrangements?"

"Heh, you're pretty smart. You know the purpose of my call."

"Yes, because Coach Coboni reminded me that someone will contact me."

"That's good. That's it. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the car arranged by the club will pick you up at the hotel on time. Please prepare for it. Don't bring your personal luggage, and you will return to the hotel. Are you clear?"

"Clear, thank you!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow. Bye!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow, bye." Kabini put down the phone and looked at his watch.It was already dinner time, and by coincidence, my stomach was rumbling in unison.He didn't plan to go downstairs to eat in the hotel restaurant because he was too lazy to leave.Cabine once set a record for the number of meters run in the game, which was close to [-] meters.But now for the sake of eating, I don't want to take half a step.May be tired.He ordered the guest service, a large cheese chorizo ​​pizza, a small bowl of salad, and a bottle of champagne.

Does he seem crazy?Can he finish a pizza the size of a washbasin?And that bottle of champagne?Is it to celebrate?

I saw Kabinet muttering to himself: "Eat enough, drink enough, sleep well. Welcome to a better tomorrow..."

, has come.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Kabinet got up before the alarm that had been set went off.Wash up carefully and put on a new casual outfit.Then look at the watch, the time is just right.Step by step out of the room.Huh?The muscles in the right leg seemed to be much quieter and no longer numb.Just like Kabinet's emotions, it was much quieter and no longer anxious.

Take the elevator to the hotel lobby.The phone rang, and Kabinet hurriedly answered it, thinking it would be the driver who picked him up, but it wasn't.

"Hey, the future star of the Granada team, good morning!" There was a voice on the phone, the voice of Mr. Haas.

"Oh, it's you, Mr. Haas. Good morning!" Cabine also said good morning.

Mr. Hass said again: "How? Did you sleep well? After I returned to Eindhoven yesterday afternoon, I went to pick out a birthday gift for my wife. I wished her a birthday with my daughter in the evening. It was a very happy evening. .So I didn’t call you, so that you can rest.”

Kabinet cocked his mouth, smiled and said; "Forget it, Mr. Haas. Don't use 'let me rest' as an excuse. You must be crazy and forgot to call me. And last night ? I slept very well. Not even half a dream."

Mr. Haas was also laughing, and said half angrily: "Nonsense, am I that kind of person? I have treated you like my own child for the past two years."

This was the truth, of course Cabine knew it.

Cabine said, "By the way, did you say happy birthday to your wife for me?"

Mr. Haas said: "Yes, of course. She also asked me to tell you to take good care of your injuries and play hard. If you are free later, our whole family will come to watch your game and cheer for you."

Cabine said, "Okay, sure. Thank her for me."

Mr. Haas said: "Okay. Well..., and I received a message from the Granada team last night, which contained the details of the club's specific arrangements for you. I know that you will report to the club today. How? Is there a car arranged to pick you up?"

"Yes, there is a car to pick me up. And I think the car has already arrived." Kabini said, looking at the door of the hotel.

That's right, here comes the car to pick him up.In a high-end jeep, a middle-aged man got out of the car, dressed in sportswear.No, strictly speaking, the Granada sports jersey.The team logo is printed on the right side of the shirt.

Cabine also saw the team badge and knew that the car to pick him up was coming.He hurriedly said to Mr. Haas on the phone: "That's right, the car is here, and I'm going to hang up. I'll contact you later."

Mr. Haas said, "Okay, young man. Keep your spirits up, we'll be in touch later." He hung up the phone.

Kabi packed the phone in his pocket, and when he walked out of the door, he saw the doorman from yesterday again. He smiled at the doorman and came to the car that picked him up.The middle-aged man who got out of the car looked at Kabinet, and asked shyly, "Is it Kabinet?"

"Yes, I am." Cabine knew exactly who he was.

"Oh! Then get in the car, I'll take you back to the training base." The middle-aged man said every word.

The car has been driven to the training base, and it is in a hurry.Through the car window, Kabini looked at this small town again. It was simple and low-key, but buried his dreams.He was thinking for a while, what kind of arrangements will the club have?What instructions will Coach Coboni give him?What attitude do new teammates have towards him?full of doubts.

The speed of the car slowed down, and it stopped at the main entrance of the training base impartially.Kabi is an introverted middle-aged man... No, it should be a colleague.He thanked the colleague who picked him up at the base and got out of the car.One person walked into the base.From a distance, I saw the receptionist from yesterday. Kabinet stepped forward and said, "Good morning, I'm Kabinet, and I'm here to report."

The receptionist is polite and has a few smiles.Say, "I know, come, please follow me."

Kabini followed the receptionist in a regular manner, and came to an office, which did not seem to be Coach Coboni's office.Because Kabinet saw through the office window, there was a woman sitting in it, a beautiful woman, a beautiful woman who didn't look over 30 years old.

As soon as Cabine entered the office, the receptionist left.

The woman in front of her stood up and said, "Hello, good morning, my name is Diss, and I'm the person in charge of youth player management."

It turned out that she was Teece, beautiful Miss Teece.

Kabinet held out his hand and said, "Hi, I'm Kabinet. As I remember, we talked on the phone last night."

Tess reached out her hand, shook it, and said with a smile, "Yes. That's my working procedure...Okay, let's sit down first, and then I'll talk to you about the specific arrangement for a while."

Cabinet sat down, straightened up, and was ready to listen carefully.

Tiss put on her glasses and continued: "At 10:30, the local sports newspaper sent two reporters to conduct a brief interview with you. Then you are going to meet with Coach Coboni, who will continue to give you instructions. As for life, you can buy a car yourself, and if you can’t afford it financially, you can apply for sponsorship from the club. Other big clubs may give a car directly to the players, but this is the Granada team, you know.”

"I understand! Miss Teess" Kabinet really understood.

Looking at Kabine, Tess tilted her head and continued: "In terms of living, you can rent or buy a house in this city. You decide on your own, or let your agent handle it for you. Of course, you can also apply for a house. Club sponsorship. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Of course Kabinet, who had been in the Eindhoven youth team, understood.

"Then we will give you a club work permit, and we will also give you a brief introduction to the club and the training base. Because some players in the training base need to enter smart passwords outside the door, we will send these passwords to In your mobile phone, you can delete it after you remember it. Do you understand?" Di Si said every word clearly.

"Understood, I understand all your explanations. Thank you." Cabine said.

Tiss finally said: "The club operates 24 hours a day. If you have any questions or other problems, you can call them and a receptionist will help you. Basically that's it. Now I will take you to the players' lounge for a brief interview with reporters. let's go."

Kabinet nodded, and followed Tiss to the lounge.

One old and one young, the two reporters were really waiting. Kabinet greeted them and introduced each other.The two sides quickly entered the topic.Young people ask questions.Aged records.Of course, Miss Tees, the head of youth player management, was also there.

"The official report of the Granada club said that they spent 150 million euros to buy out your professional contract in Eindhoven and brought you here. What do you think is the reason for the club to do this?" the young reporter asked. .

"Obviously, this is because the club has full confidence in me, and they recognize my excellence." Cabine said firmly.

Tess smiled beside her.

The young reporter asked again: "Then why did you leave PSV...?"

Cabine said: "It's very simple. In the PSV team, I didn't get enough trust to play in the first team. I believe in my ability, and I don't want to be wasted in the youth team. Just in time of distress, Granada The Eindhoven team offered me a buyout and guaranteed me a place in the first team, so I came here. Of course, I also thank the Eindhoven team for their cultivation of me.”

"But you are injured now, when will you come back from your injury? How is your condition after your comeback?" The young reporter's powerful words directly pointed to Kabinet's weakness.

Cabine hesitated for three seconds and said: "As a player, injuries are inevitable. But I am confident that after the injury, I will play [-]%."

"The Granada team barely managed to avoid relegation last season, and they just played two rounds this season, with one draw and one loss. May I ask what effect your joining will bring to the team?" The young reporter asked with frowning faces road.

Kabinet hesitated for another three seconds, and said: "Well... the team is a team, and now I can't have any effect alone. It needs the efforts of the whole team to strive for good results."

The young reporter nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. The last question, everyone knows that the Granada team is only a medium-sized operation. They paid you a termination fee of 150 million euros. Do you think it is worth it?"

After listening to Kabini, he didn't hesitate any longer, and his tone was firm:
"You wait for me at the Camenes Stadium, and I'll tell you there if it's worth it!"
