Beast King Costa

Chapter 234 Business Conduct
After completing the trial training, since there was nothing else to do next, Yang Xu asked to have today's training session with the Benfica team.

In this regard, Fernando Santos readily agreed-he also wanted to see if Yang Xu could keep up with their rhythm in training with these young players from the Benfica youth team.If possible, then Yang Xu will play even more comfortably in the Benfica echelon in the future.

It seems that Yang Xu's agent does not want him to follow Benfica for today's training session.

But since Fernando Santos had already agreed, and Yang Xu was really eager to train with the Benfica team, he couldn't stop him.

However, Yang Xu's manager still did not forget to yell at Yang Xu: "Xu'er, you have to be careful! Don't get hurt by those Europeans! There is still a task for the provincial team to play." .”

"I know Uncle Wang!"

"Hey!"

Seeing Yang Xu's manager's worried face, Diego couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Perhaps, Yang Xu wasn't afraid of confrontation because of his thin body?

It's the agent or some high-ranking people behind him who require this player with quite good potential not to be injured during this period of time, so that he can play well in the next games that are very important to their future!
Forget it.

Diego didn't want to think too much about these and those.

Diego felt that he was quite lucky and said that after all, because he was reborn in a Brazilian, he could avoid many, many of these local characteristics.

Just think about it, what if I was reborn back in 2006 and was reborn on a talented Chinese player?

Then your future is inevitably tied to the interests and future of those in high positions.

No matter how strong my determination is to stay abroad and play with European players in higher-level leagues, I will be repeatedly blocked from behind!

So, Diego really doesn't want it, this is Yang Xu's first training with a high-level European team, but it will also be the last time...

In order to help Yang Xu better integrate into Benfica's training sessions, Diego followed Yang Xu inseparably.

In addition to introducing Yang Xu, a player who was born in the youth training of Liaozu Football Team, to his teammates, he also took the initiative to introduce his teammates to Yang Xu, and introduced Benfica, as a Portuguese Super League team that has been fighting in the UEFA Champions League all year round. In terms of training, training, and even the team's hardware support, it is better than where the cash of Chinese clubs is.

Regarding this, Yang Xu was also very curious and nodded in agreement.

Diego could see Yang Xu's yearning for European clubs.

But there is one thing that makes Diego feel that it is a pity - compared with Yu Dabao, Yang Xu's personality is a little more introverted and boring. Yang Xu seems to be reluctant to take the initiative to communicate with others. Many times it is Diego who introduces him in "Jili Guala" It's not like when I was communicating with Yu Dabao in Qingdao, it was called interacting.

Diego can deeply feel that playing in Europe and integrating into the team is a very, very, very important thing.

No matter how strong you are, if you can't integrate into the team because of personality problems, you will encounter all kinds of troubles, both on and off the court.

What's more, you're just a young rookie?

For this reason, Diego also reminded Yang Xu very seriously: "Yang Xu, if you want to integrate into the European football environment... Oh no! It should be said that if you want to integrate into a team, you need to be more involved. Take the initiative to mingle with your teammates. Football is a team sport and communication is absolutely essential.”

"I understand this..."

Yang Xu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Our youth training team has no foreign aid, so it's a bit strange to play football with you foreigners for the first time."

"Nothing surprising."

Diego smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said, "The players like our Benfica are not all from Portugal. There are many Brazilian players here, even Eastern European and Northern European players, and even some Spanish players who can't play in La Liga. I will also go to Portugal to try and seek new breakthroughs.”

"Uh-huh."

Just when Yang Xu was about to start shooting training with the Benfica team, for some reason, there was a commotion at the door of the training ground.

I don't know who told the media that the Benfica club is conducting today's training session at this training ground. There are actually a lot of media reporters around the entrance of the training ground, and all kinds of spotlights are aimed at the Benfica players. It was just a random shot, which scared the Benfica players to stop their movements.

"This……"

Diego couldn't help frowning.

Because, before Fernando Santos left Shandong Luneng Football School yesterday afternoon, he emphasized one point to Kang Mengjun, general manager of the Shandong team: "When we are training, we don't want to be disturbed by local media reporters. The focus is on football, not on dealing with journalists."

And Kang Mengjun also agreed to Fernando Santos' request, promising that no media reporters would come to disturb Benfica's training.

But unexpectedly, the media finally learned about Benfica’s training location.

The faces of the Shandong team staff who stayed on the scene couldn't help but change. They hurriedly called the club and went up in time to ask the media to leave.

However, the media were not willing to leave at all, and various problems came under cover.

"Will Benfica invite Shandong players to try out in Europe?"

"Or, will the Shandong team introduce European or Brazilian players from Benfica to become the team's new foreign aid?"

"It is said that Manager Kang has a bad relationship with Coach Touba. Will you bring in European coaches to replace Touba?"

"Ah! That's Liaozu's young star Yang Xu. He is training with the Benfica players. Is he about to join Benfica?"

"Or is it that Yang Xu is about to join the Shandong team? But as far as I know, Yang Xu's personnel relationship is in Liaoning!"

……

"Everyone calm down, everyone calm down!"

Just when the staff of the Shandong team were helpless and didn't know how to expel the media who had gotten wind of it and came to the training ground to disturb Benfica's training, Yang Xu's agent suddenly walked up.

I saw Yang Xu's manager smiling like a spring breeze. It seemed that everything was as he expected?

"I am Wang Dong, Yang Xu's agent. Hello everyone! Here I can tell everyone that Yang Xu's personnel relationship is in Liaoning, and he will only represent Liaoning in the Provincial Games, so he will definitely not join the Shandong team. As for why you train with the Benfica team..."

Wang Dong showed a sly smile: "Because, the Benfica club has fallen in love with Yang Xu! Next, Yang Xu will become a member of the Benfica club with a very high social status, and I also hope that the Liaoning team can release him. If not If you want to keep Yang Xu to play football on behalf of Liaozu, then I hope the contract in the province can be more sincere. Otherwise, Yang Xu will definitely end his personnel relationship with the province and go to Europe to play football!"

The media wanted to ask more questions, but Wang Dong said: "Okay! That's all I can tell you! It should be enough for everyone to write articles and submit tasks today. Everyone, hurry up and leave. , don’t disturb the training session of Benfica who came from the same place.”

To the surprise of the staff of the Shandong team, no matter how they expelled the media who were unwilling to leave, under Wang Dong's few words, they obediently withdrew?
Seeing this, Diego couldn't help but change his expression—now he finally understands what this trial training is all about!
What the hell, it's all a "coercion drama" planned by Yang Xu's manager Wang Dong!

Trial Benfica is true, joining Benfica is false!
Wang Dong doesn't care whether Yang Xu can pass Benfica's trial training at all, right?
What he needs is to allow Yang Xu to gain more exposure during the trial training with Benfica, so as to put pressure on Liaozu, offer Yang Xu a high-priced contract, or win the attention of other Chinese Super League teams. So he bought Yang Xu with a high transfer fee?
After all, if Yang Xu goes to play in Europe at this moment, even if his income will be higher than that of the Liaozu youth team, it will definitely not be much higher.

As a manager, Wang Dong sucked Yang Xu's blood, so he naturally hoped that Yang Xu's contract would skyrocket as soon as possible so that he could get more of the broker's commission!

It seems that these media reporters are basically just Wang Dong releasing the information, asking them to come and interview at a specific time, and then go up there himself, pretending to help expel the media reporters, but actually revealing his intentions!

At least, when things have developed to this point, Diego can't be sure whether Liaozu will offer a big contract to keep Yang Xu, but at least, Diego can be sure that Yang Xu will definitely not join Benfica!

To Diego's surprise, Fernando Santos actually understood what was going on.

Just when Diego was furious at what Yang Xu's manager, Wang Dong, did, Fernando Santos stepped forward: "This is entirely Yang's manager directing and acting on his own! The media must have been found by him! This trial training is completely a 'commercial act' to boost my value! I was deceived by their so-called sincerity!"

The old man told Diego with a serious face: "Diego, let Yang's agent get out of here immediately! This is an agent with no professional ethics at all! Our Benfica club will never cooperate with such an agent! Get him out of my sight immediately!"

"Coach Santos, that Yang..."

"Tell him to leave too! I will not consider letting Yang join Benfica!"

Fernando Santos waved his sleeves and walked away, completely refusing to listen to what Diego continued to say.

"Ugh!"

Looking at Fernando Santos' furious appearance, Diego couldn't help but sighed in disappointment—what Wang Dong did had already caused Benfica's door to be completely closed to Yang Xu, even because of the agent's "stain" this time Incident" is here, maybe Yang Xu will find it very, very difficult to study abroad again in the future.

With a serious face, Diego walked up to Wang Dong and Yang Xu, and told them: "Mr. Wang, Yang Xu. I regret to tell you that Coach Santos asked you to leave now."

Yang Xu was very surprised by this, "Ah? Why? Didn't Coach Santos ask me to complete the training session with everyone?"

"Okay! Since Coach Santos told us to go, let's go then. Anyway, the trial training is over, and we will wait for the next notification from the Benfica club. Let's go back and take a bath, and then have a good lunch."

Obviously, Wang Dong didn't care about whether he could stay or not, or he was already impatient and wanted to leave?

"Sorry! There will be no further notifications."

Diego stared at Wang Dong's face distorted by money, and said every word angrily, almost in a "spitting" tone: "Mr. Wang borrowed our Benfica to raise the price. Coach Santos has seen it." Come out! FC Benfica will not cooperate with those who only have money in their eyes!"

To Diego's surprise, Wang Dong still had a breezy smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't intend to let Yang Xu study abroad."

After finishing speaking, Wang Dong pouted at Yang Xu and said, "Let's go! Xu'er, let's go back. I guess, after we go back, people in the province should come to us to renegotiate the contract. Hmph! I want to see it." Look, they are still not the same as before!"

"Hey……"

Watching his manager Wang Dong take the first step, Yang Xu couldn't help showing a helpless expression.

Yang Xu hesitated for a long time, and then said to Diego: "I'm sorry."

Obviously, Yang Xu already knew that this time he came to Shandong for trial training, he was not rushing to join Benfica at all, it was completely a "commercial act".

"No need to say sorry."

After looking at Yang Xu for a long time, Diego sighed a little: "Hey! Everyone chooses their own path! I hope there will be another opportunity to study abroad in the future, so you can seize it!"

"Diego, why are you talking nonsense with them!? Tell them to get out!"

Fernando Santos shouted to Diego quite angrily: "Hurry up! There is going to be a tactical drill soon! Don't waste time with them!"

"I see, Coach Santos!"

After finishing speaking, Diego left a last sentence of advice to Yang Xu in a deep tone: "I wish you success!"

After leaving this sentence, Diego ignored Yang Xu and his manager Wang Dong, and returned to the court to have a round with his teammates and train together for tomorrow's friendly match.

Under the leadership of Wang Dong, Yang Xu left the training ground.

Before leaving, Yang Xu reluctantly took a look at the Benfica players who were starting tactical drills. Diego could see that Yang Xu had nostalgia, yearning, envy, regret, and helplessness in his eyes!

He is really eager to go out and see the outside world!

This is the hard work of Chinese players studying abroad in that era!

Constrained by various external factors, this last step out of Chinese football is always so difficult!
After arriving, those people began to figure it out, and began to send players to study abroad.

But at that time, the strength of the players can no longer keep up with the high level of Europe, and studying abroad is just a bench, so what's the point?

(PS: Well! Although this is not the case of Yang Xu, it is indeed a real example of certain players. At that time, too many players had the opportunity to study abroad, but they failed to make the trip in the end. In the end, they wasted their youth and wasted their time in China. Lost talent, lost future! Alas!)
