At seventeen, I went to Spain to win the World Cup

Sky Sports front page headline: "Barnett officially announces signing with Lin!"

BBC front page headline: "After announcing his gradual withdrawal from the football economic circle three years ago, Barnett has returned to the arena!"

Bild: "England's well-known agent Barnett officially announced his cooperation with Lin Chen!"

...

The next day, the news that Barnett signed with Lin Chen swept the entire Internet like a virus and quickly became a hot search.

For English fans, Barnett's status in their hearts is higher than any other agent.

Time goes back to last night. After the three people sent invitations separately, Lin Chen pondered for a moment and decided to choose the candidate he had already prepared in his heart.

"Barnett!" Hearing this, Barnett couldn't help but raise his mouth.

Mendes was very dissatisfied. He couldn't believe that he was actually at a disadvantage in this competition.

You know, players who usually want to talk about cooperation and signing with him have to line up from the Eiffel Tower in France to the lakeside of Manchester.

"Why don't you choose me?" Mendes couldn't help asking.

"Because you have Cristiano." Lin Chen said with great emphasis.

"You two have known each other since Cristiano was young, and have grown up together. In your heart, Cristiano is definitely your lifelong friend."

"Do you dare to say that you will distribute the resources in your hands to me equally? This is impossible. Mendes, you know it in your heart."

"Besides, you have too many big-name Portuguese international stars in your hands. You are not suitable for me."

Mendes was speechless. Lin Chen was right.

He didn't intend to distribute the resources evenly at all. He just wanted to sign Lin Chen, a sweet cake, and then get more money out of him.

Raiola on the other side didn't ask anything, but just got up and left calmly. For things that he couldn't control, Raiola never lowered his head to ask for it again.

For all players, Raiola would only send out an invitation once. If it was rejected, there would never be a second request.

Mendes followed Raiola and left, looking extremely regretful. He understood how huge the potential market of Lin Chen was.

Only Barnett and Lin Chen were left in the room. Barnett held a cigar in his mouth but did not light it.

Lin Chen asked with a smile:

"Why not light it?"

Barnett smiled, held the cigar in his mouth, and spoke vaguely.

"Rich people never smoke cigars, but rich people must hold cigars in their mouths."

"Young man, believe me, you will soon understand what this sentence means."

Barnett took out the cooperation contract in black and white, which he had printed in advance.

"I will be your agent in all negotiations, but you have the right to propose your own price. I will do my best to help you reach your price."

"I will not take commissions from your signing fee and salary. All my extra expenses will be borne by the other party in the negotiation. Your interests are your interests and have nothing to do with me."

After a brief look, Lin Chen confirmed that everything was correct and signed his name. A three-year agency contract with Lin Chen's option to renew for another three years was reached.

Seeing Lin Chen sign, Barnett's heart was finally relieved.

"I will start to make preliminary contacts with Liverpool Club, but from the current point of view, you have only played two games. It is a bit difficult to get a first-team contract."

"But as long as the next game, the league faces the absolute rival Manchester United. If you can still play a highlight performance, I pat my chest to assure you that I will definitely help you get a first-team contract."

Barnett has done research a long time ago. It is indeed difficult for a young man who has only played two games to get a first-team contract.

But Lin Chen's attention is too high, and his performance is indeed outstanding.

In the second round of the Premier League, if Lin Chen can perform as brilliantly as in the first two games, he will definitely leave a deeper impression in the hearts of Liverpool fans.

With the support of the people, you have everything. Barnett will then be able to take this opportunity to help Lin Chen ask Liverpool for a real first-team contract.

The weekly salary of the first-team contract, even at a low level, is more than 10 times the current weekly salary of Lin Chen's youth training contract.

Lin Chen's income will achieve a significant leap!

The two stayed in the room and continued to talk. Barnett didn't say much, but every word was always on point.

And his tone was always so calm, low, with the accent of an authentic British old man.

Barnett's idea was very clear. As long as Lin Chen could perform equally well against Manchester United, he would be confident in helping Lin Chen negotiate a first-team contract, so Lin Chen devoted himself to preparations.

At this time, Klopp and Kravitz were in a dilemma, because Klopp began to hesitate whether to let Lin Chen start in the Red Double..

Kravitz, who originally did not support Lin Chen's starting lineup, turned his back and began to support Lin Chen to continue to start.

"We need his creativity and interception in the midfield, he can attack and defend, and he performed perfectly in the last game!"

Klopp nodded, but shook his head and said:

"But we are discussing the Red Devils, one of the most popular derbies. He is only 17 years old. I am worried..."

Klopp is worried that Lin Chen will not be able to withstand the pressure, and he is even more worried that the extremely high-intensity game will cause Lin Chen to get injured.

Although fans now call Lin Chen a monster in the midfield, a monster on the field, a Hulk on the green field, etc., such nicknames are all over the Internet.

Both sides are preparing for the game. On August 22, the second round of the Premier League Red Devils will start.

On August 21, at the pre-match press conference, the madman Mourinho, as the head coach of Manchester United, once again spoke wildly.

"Liverpool has a young man this season. What's his name? Lin?"

"I watched his game. He's just average, but a little stronger."

"We have a lot of players like this in our team. Rashford, Lingard, Lukaku, these young players are better than him. I don't understand why fans in English football like to praise him so much now."

Madman Mourinho made a lot of remarks before the game. Of course, this is his press conference style.

You don't know whether what he said is true or false, but he always likes to use such remarks to disrupt the opponent's mentality before the game.

For both Liverpool and Manchester United, the Red Derby is a game that cannot be lost.

The grievances between the two teams have been from many years ago, from the trade and culture of the two cities to the economic and social construction, and there have been frictions and conflicts of all sizes.

In modern peacetime, war is difficult to happen, so fans of both sides bring their dissatisfaction to football.

Over time, the atmosphere has been so intense that whenever the two teams meet, it will definitely be a great battle.

Players from both teams fought hard with the mentality that they would rather die on the field than lose the derby. Fans from both teams even suddenly got into fights, riots, and attacks while watching the game.

Because of this, the attention to this Manchester United game was extremely high. The number of fans who made reservations to watch the live broadcast alone exceeded one million!

All players knew that this was a game that could not be lost!
