Ender's Football

After Ender exited Tierner's office, the brown-haired, glasses-wearing, bearded middle-aged man looked at Tierner's coach and chairman Schwartz with a smile on his face. , but complained in his mouth: "You didn't even give me and that young player a chance to introduce ourselves—Grandpa, are you too wary of me?"

The old man whom he called his grandfather, that is, Schwartz, the team chairman of Uwensburg, raised his eyebrows and said: "You have to be careful, Jack, I hate agents like you the most, if it weren't for you Negotiating on behalf of Kerber today, I don't want you to step through the gates of Uwensburg."

Jack, the middle-aged man, was not angry when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It's useless for you to say it. I have been playing here on the street since I was a child. Everyone here knows me, so how could they not let me in!"

He said it with confidence, and Schwartz smiled.

No matter what family lawsuits the grandparents and grandchildren are fighting, Tierner is concerned with another issue: "I just want one thing," he said, "Does Kerber himself know what he's facing?"

Jack laughed, obviously he dismissed this question, but Tierner has been in Uwensburg for many years and has quite a reputation, so he still answered seriously: "Peter, you know, my The client must have made this decision after careful consideration. He has played for Uwensburg for many years and has made many achievements, but in the team, he has never been the protagonist. Foreign players occupy the took center stage, and my clients didn't get what they were able to match..."

Tierner was quite helpless with his rhetoric.

"Yes, Kerber has been with us for a number of years, he's still a player I've developed," Tierner said, "but I don't think he's ready to play for Red Bull - I'm not trying to stop him. Transfer, Jack, it's just that he should choose his next stop carefully, not go to a team that you recommend to him, and he can't play at all."

He said this mercilessly, but Chairman Schwartz's smiling expression did not change at all, and Jack didn't care much.

After all, no matter how respected Tierner is, he is just a youth training coach, while Jack is Kerber's agent, and his main job is to get what his clients want.

"You have your point of view and I have mine," Jack said.

Seeing that they couldn't talk well, Tierner sighed in his heart and didn't speak any more.

He glanced at his watch and said to chairman Schwartz: "I'm going to the training ground, and the kids should be here by now."

"You go, Peter," Schwartz agreed, he pulled out the armchair, stood up from the chair, and patted Jack on the shoulder, "Come on, boy, go to my office and we can talk again."

What else can we talk about?Of course it's about Kerber's transfer.

Tierner is actually very helpless in his heart. He does not have the mentality of letting players stay in Uwensburg because of selfishness, and he does not object to players going to other clubs to try-for many players, playing Ball is just a job, earning money to support a family and being successful are both important.

But Kerber's situation is different. This player was taught by Tierner for several years, and he already has a lot of feelings. He knows that the opponent's character is relatively weak, and he is easy to shrink back when facing competition, and the player's own physical fitness It's not particularly strong, and it's a disadvantage in the fiercely confrontational Bundesliga.Tierner told him about this problem many times, but it is not so easy to change. Changing the body muscle condition will change the level of movement when playing football, and the style of play will also change accordingly. Players are used to playing a game Style, it is difficult to make up your mind to change.

People always have the greatest fear of the unknown.

Before Tierner could reverse Kerber's thoughts, he was persuaded by his agent that he was unwilling to stay in Uwensburg.But his next stop is

The Leipzig Red Bull, who is also in the second division.

Uwensburg and Leipzig Red Bull are both strong teams in the Bundesliga that are expected to be promoted to the First Division this season, but Leipzig Red Bull has greater ambitions and more sufficient financial support. Within a year, they rushed to the Bundesliga from the fifth level league and won the Bundesliga championship. For this reason, they recruited and built a team lineup to enter the Bundesliga and compete for the Bundesliga championship.

In Tierner's view, Kerber has not yet had the ability to start at the Leipzig Red Bull. For a young player, the cycle of not being able to play, having difficulty accumulating game experience, and sitting on the bench is unacceptable.

...his players may not think so, however.Higher salaries and bigger platforms are desirable.

Tierner shook his head slightly and was about to leave the office.

Before going out, Jack suddenly remembered something, and asked him: "The young player who just came to your office... I remember his name is Ender, right? Good name, like the actor in the movie, which Asian country is he from? boy?"

As soon as he uttered this question, Tierner's heart was already ringing with alarm.But before he could figure out how to answer, Schwartz answered his grandson's question with a smile.

"Ander is our Chinese boy here," he said, "he is a great boy, very talented, but old Peter always suppresses him, thinking that the talent needs to be polished, and he has never played a game. Right?"

He even winked at Tierner when he finished speaking.

Tierner didn't really want to answer this question. He pretended to be in a hurry, and made excuses to leave the office immediately, so he couldn't hear what Jack and Schwartz said later.

"China—wow, that's a big market." Jack said, "Grandpa, all the clubs are developing the Chinese market now, Real Madrid and Barcelona's China tour, Manchester United doing business development in China, Bayern and Dortmund I also like it there, Bayern let Guardiola take his players to Shanghai this year, they all think this land is full of business opportunities.”

Schwartz couldn't see any expression: "The boy is only 13 years old."

"It's not uncommon for Chinese players to be picked up by Uwensburg at the age of 13," Jack said, and he finally added, "Although China has a huge market, their players—" he Shrugging his shoulders, all the contempt was written on his expression.

He sighed and found that Schwartz ignored him, and continued to ask: "How did you find a Chinese player? Which agent introduced him? As far as I know, in Germany, there are more Japanese player agents. , South Korea also has them, but it seems that there are no Chinese.”

"Ender lived here," Schwartz said, "his mother immigrated here, and now he lives in Uwensburg with his mother and stepfather, and your words make us sound like human traffickers, Jack, maybe you are in I've been in this business for so long that I've forgotten that it's not the agent who determines whether a player is good or bad, but himself."

"But with us, they can get better." Jack said nonchalantly, "Tierner is an old-fashioned old man, he doesn't care if Kerber is embarrassed in the locker room, whether Kerber's current salary can match his strength ..."

He finally concluded: "We are doing the job of being an angel to the players, even though sometimes it will be seen as the devil."
