Iron Man on the pitch

"Dingling..."

What appeared in the room with Xiwei's Chenguang was Li Ling's cell phone ringtone.

Li Ling picked up his cell phone in a daze and saw that it was 8 a.m. and couldn't help but want to hang up the phone, but looking at the familiar number on it, he shuddered and quickly connected.

"Son, you are so awesome! Congratulations!" As soon as the phone was connected, Li Ma's excited shout came from the other end of the phone.

"Son, you are really amazing. You are worthy of being a football genius since childhood!" Before Li's mother could say the next sentence, Li's father snatched the microphone away and shouted out loudly to Li Ling.

Li’s father is an ordinary football enthusiast. When watching the 2002 World Cup with Li Ling, he was impressed by Li Ling’s precise views. Of course, these were done by Li Ling with the memory of the time traveler.

Relying on this impression as a basis, during the 2004 European Cup, Li Ling briefly convinced Li's father with a gadget purchased from the system, asking him to give up his wealth and win the championship with the Greek team. From then on, he The family leaped from working class to financial freedom, which laid the foundation for Li Ling to study in Portugal now.

"Oh... I have put a lot of effort into making my parents a rich generation. Fortunately, it's all worth it." Li Ling sighed silently in his heart. It was precisely because of the sequelae of that gadget that Li's father has been always I think Li Ling is a rare football genius.

After chatting with their parents for about an hour, they received various interrogative questions. Finally, after accepting their blessings for helping the team win the Portuguese Super League championship, Li Ling realized that , the highlight is here.

"Son, mom is going to take your materials to help you apply to join the national team. What do you think?" Li's mother still wanted her son to play for the country very simply. For this reason, she found a relationship as much as possible and finally contacted her. I arrived at a small leader from the Provincial Capital Sports Bureau.

"Yes, it's so glorious to score in the World Cup." Although Li Dad, who understands what level, does not want his son to go to the muddy water, under the instigation of Li's mother, he couldn't help but persuade him.

The two of them searched the information from multiple sources and understood that although the Portuguese Super League is not among the top five leagues and cannot compare with the Premier League and La Liga, they also have a certain status in European football, at least they must be much better than domestic leagues. Wouldn't it be easy to join the national team if your son who can securely starts in the championship team?

"Haha." Li Ling smiled helplessly. Although his parents' expectations were completely opposite to his own plan, he did not refuse immediately. Instead, he said in an unfathomable tone, "You go and try it, Maybe it will happen?”

"How could it be possible? I think it's OK. Son, you are the best!" Li Ma was full of confidence in her son.

"That's right, who can compare with my son? If they don't come to invite him on their own initiative, I feel that I have neglected my duties at work!" Li's father was also full of confidence in his son.

"Ah, I'm waiting to see it. I'll go to the team's championship celebration parade in a while. Someone is looking for me, so I'll die first." Li Ling really couldn't deal with his parents' enthusiasm for getting the wrong direction. Just then another cell phone rang, and he quickly made an excuse.

"Okay, son, please be careful."

When Li Ling opened another mobile phone that was applied for in Portugal, he heard a somewhat familiar but unfamiliar voice: "Hello, Li, I am Jorge Mendes, I think you still have an impression of me, right?"

"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Mendes. Hello, is there anything you need to ask me?" Li Ling remembered that this was his nominal agent.

"I want to say sorry for my previous ignorance. Starting today, I will be fully responsible for your broker business." Jorge Mendes' voice was very sincere.

"That's great, it's a good deal, Mr. Mendes. By the way, Martin is OK, right?"

"Please rest assured, I will compensate him."

Because Li Ling's starting point was a pure football enthusiast, and after he joined the youth team of Sporting Lisbon, he needed to sign an agent, but at that time, Li Ling could only find Jorge Mende An ordinary employee of the company, Martin, came to serve as his agent.

There is no way. It is not easy for ordinary players to sign under Jorge Mendes' agency. Li Ling got the opportunity because of the huge market hidden behind him.

However, after all, he was a cheater. Li Ling's growth was beyond everyone's expectations, and Martin, the eldest brother, also took good care of himself in his daily life. Li Ling decided to only retain contact with Martin before the end of the season .

No, the game just ended, Jorge GateDes couldn't wait to call and prepare to take over Li Ling's agent business.

"I don't know that Li, you are inconvenient now. I will send you the agent contract in person." Jorge Mendes' attitude was very kind.

"The championship celebration parade will start at 10 o'clock, and time is a bit tight."

"It's okay, we just meet and get to know each other formally. The contract is delivered to you, just look at it slowly. You can contact me to discuss the details of the contract at any time."

"It's great, see you later."

"Okay, see you later."

For Li Ling, although the money gains from playing football are important, they are not that important. For himself, the most important thing is to gain fame value and be able to accumulate some start-up capital.

After all, even if you really save enough 1 billion fame, you can't create a steel armor immediately. This is still too much of a standard in reality. But an Iron Man who is willing to seriously create inventions and create money will probably be a nightmare for all high-tech companies in the world.

So having an agent like Jorge Mendes is enough for Li Ling, not to mention the top-notch business ability.

The call with Jorge Mendes had just ended, and the phone in Li Ling immediately started to scream again. This time it was a familiar number.

"Hello, Coach, is there anything you need to ask me for?"

Paul Bento on the other end of the phone smiled and congratulated Li Ling, and then expressed his real purpose: "You should have a good rest. Let me tell you what I wanted to tell you last night. Li, you have no representative. Your country has participated in any football event and there is no obstacle in this regard."

Li Ling knew it in his heart: "It's true."

Paul Bento's tone became serious, but there were some difficulties in it: "The Portuguese Football Association wants to invite you to become a Portuguese nationality and represent the Portuguese national team in the competition."

"Ah, this..." Li Ling didn't expect that the Portuguese Football Association was so direct and found his head coach to be a lobbyist.

Hearing Li Ling's voice full of disbelief, Paul Bento immediately comforted: "It's okay, think about it slowly, it's still time."

After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry. It seems that Paul Bento is a little bit shameless when he did this kind of thing for the first time.

Li Ling was a little embarrassed, but he still reacted quickly: "Indeed, although everything is in my plan, I still can't be too positive."

But Li Ling didn't let him think too much, and the phone rang immediately.

"Roao, what's the matter with me? You'll see it at the parade and celebration later? Why are you so anxious?"

"Ah... that... Lee," Joao Moutinho, who was very normal on weekdays, became hesitant and hesitated for a long time, but finally failed to explain it clearly, "I'm downstairs of your apartment, you Let's go down and I've brought my friends to see you."

"Well, wait a moment, I'll come now."
