Beast King Costa

Chapter 28 On the Importance of Brokers

On Thursday, the day after Jose Aguas received a call from his mentor, Jesúaldo Ferreira, he set the starting XI for the weekend against Estoril in advance in the training session.

When Jose Aguas finished reading the names of the three starting strikers, the expressions on the faces of Diego Costa and Kim Dong-hyun could be described as very different——the former showed a smile like winning a jackpot, while the latter suddenly His face flushed with anger.

Kim Dong-hyun quit on the spot, and he got angry directly at Jose Aguas in front of everyone.

"Jose! How dare you remove me from the starting line-up! What do you mean!? If Mr. Silva knows about this, you will never want to hang out in the Portuguese football circle in the future!"

"Kim, Mr. Silva already knows about this."

This time, Jose Aguas did not intend to show any good looks to Kim Dong-hyun.

I saw Jose Aguas' rare and tough warning to Kim Dong-hyun: "Jin, I hope you can pay attention to your attitude! This is on the training ground! I hope you can respect the rules of the training ground! Otherwise, you will get out!"

"Get out, get out!"

An angry Kim Dong-hyun took off his training uniform on the spot and slammed it in front of Jose Aguas.

Before leaving, Kim Dong-hyun continued to say harsh words to Jose Aguas: "Jose, wait and see! I will go to Mr. Silva now!"

"Please..."

Jose Aguas didn't bother to argue with Kim Dong-hyun anymore, he responded indifferently: "Anyway, Mr. Silva is already looking for a new owner for you."

Kim Dong-hyun turned around with a look of disbelief: "What? Jose, what did you just say?!"

Jose Aguas didn't even look at Kim Dong-hyun: "Everyone is ready for warm-up. Later, let's go straight to tactical drills."

"Jose! Did you speak ill of me to Mr. Silva!?"

"Jose! I'm fucking talking to you!"

……

Jose Aguas completely ignored what Kim Dong-hyun was yelling about.

Anyway, Mr. Silva already knew the specific situation of Kim Dong-hyun in Braga, and said that he was very disappointed with Kim Dong-hyun.

Therefore, Jose Aguas no longer needs to take care of Mr. Silva's face, but endures Kim Dong-hyun's arrogant temper.

Diego Costa and Mateus, who ran to the side to warm up, secretly laughed while watching Kim Dong-hyun going crazy like a patient who had just escaped from a mental hospital.

"Now I finally understand why Mr. Aguas favors Jin so much!"

Mateus, who has been in Portugal for almost five years, can naturally find some clues from the conversation between Jose Aguas and Kim Dong-hyun just now.

"If you're right, Mr. Aguas and that little eye should be the same agent! Silva, who was born in a gangster in the last century!"

"Silva???"

Diego shook his head in confusion: "This agent's name is so unfamiliar."

"Hehe, Silva is not a famous agent, you must be a stranger!"

Mateus, who is also considered well-informed in the team, lowered his voice: "That guy Silva is basically a 'human trafficker'! After signing the coach, he signs young players, and then tries his best to operate the players. Coaching to the same team, and putting pressure on the coach to give the players he signed enough playing time, in order to help the players 'smart data', so as to continuously increase their worth, and profit from it!"

After all, Mateus quietly made a "pistol" gesture.

The implication is very obvious - this agent named Silva must have often used the gangster methods in the past to pressure coaches to give the players he signed enough playing time.

"hiss……"

Diego gasped: "Isn't the whole world talking about a 'society ruled by law'? Why are these things still happening?"

But after saying this, Diego finally reacted: Okay!I am currently in Portugal in 2006, not China in 2019.

Mentioning the question of the agent, Diego also asked Mateus with great interest: "Then who is your agent?"

"My manager is a big fat guy named Pizzi. Although that guy brought me from Brazil to Portugal, I have to say, that guy's connections are really bad..."

Mateus shook his head like a rattle: "After the end of last season, I asked that guy to help me find a Portuguese Super League team for trial training. As a result, I tossed almost the entire offseason, but it didn't make sense. In the end, I could only seize the last week of the transfer window, go to the Braga B team for a trial training, and then stay here."

"I see!"

Diego nodded suddenly.

After all, judging from Mateus' side blasting ability, he is fully capable of standing in the Portuguese Super League, instead of bowing down to the small stage of the Portuguese League.

"So! Choosing the right agent is very helpful for our players' careers! Whether it is going to a bigger stage or winning a bigger contract."

In this regard, Mateus pouted helplessly: "I can only comfort myself now, at least in the Braga B team, I still have a chance to be called up by the first team to play in the Portuguese Super League. Anyway, I and that big fat man His five-year contract ends at the end of this season."

After that, Mateus asked with great interest: "Diego, who is your agent?"

"Uh, my agent..."

Diego desperately searched for the agent who brought him across the ocean from Brazil to Portugal in the memory fragments of Diego da Silva Costa.

However, Diego da Silva Costa does not appear to have seen his agent since leaving Brazil for Portugal.

Therefore, Diego only found a very common name in the Portuguese language family.

This common level is about the same as "Xiao Ming" and "Xiao Ling" in China.

"Jorge!"

Diego shrugged helplessly: "I haven't seen him yet. My uncle signed my agent contract with him. At that time he told my uncle that he had seen him in the amateur league in Rio de Janeiro. I play football and want to sign me and bring me to Europe. My uncle is worried that the guy is a liar, so this is what my uncle is following up on."

Of course, these things that happened before February 2006, 2, were all found by Diego in the memory fragments of Diego da Silva Costa.

"Jorge? It's such a common name, I don't know which Jorge it is."

Even Mateus, who is well-informed in the team, has no way to guess who Diego Costa's agent is from this common name.

Of course, Mateus did not forget to remind Diego: "You'd better meet with your agent as soon as possible to see what resources behind him can help you. If your agent has enough network resources If you are strong, maybe you will be able to return to the first team soon."

"Return to the first team!"

Diego nodded brightly.

Indeed, whether in later generations or now, many things require not only strength, but also connections.

If my agent named Jorge is also the agent of the old coach Jesualdo Ferreira, then I can return to the first team as soon as possible!
"Row!"

Diego nodded heavily: "After the game against Estoril over the weekend, I will try to find a way to contact my agent named 'Jorge'."

(PS: Cough cough... I believe all the witty bosses have already guessed which Jorge it is~ Don't expose the old schemer! Anyway, after the weekend's game, Diego Costa will talk to that footballer. Altar predators officially meet!)
