Ender's Football

When Ender came home, Li Mei hadn't come back, and Stanzel was watching TV in the living room.

He hung his football bag on the wall, went to the kitchen to unpack a bottle of kiwi juice, and then went back to the living room to sit next to Stanzel.

This series of movements caused Stanzel to withdraw from the world of the TV series, and the man looked sideways at Ender: "What's the matter, kid? Didn't you say that you should report to Coach Tierner that you have grown taller?" Any news?" When he said this, he had a teasing smile on his face, the kind of smile parents would have when they saw their children being stupid, "Did Coach Tierner tell you to play?"

"He's also very happy...but he didn't say that he would start me." Ender let himself collapse on the sofa, and put his whole body weight into the soft pillow, relaxing the tired muscles after training, "I think It's something else."

"Oh?" Stanzel wondered. "What's the matter? Will you tell me, Ender?"

The child can say it in front of him, of course he is willing to say it, and Stanzel knows this well.But he still asked politely, showing his respect.This is what he learned from parenting magazines. After Li Mei became pregnant, the ecstatic father-to-be Stanzel bought Super Parenting Magazine and started to learn knowledge, although later facts proved that many of the contents were useless and boring. , but there are still some tricks that Stanzel uses, and it works well.

"Someone came to me today," Ender slurped the kiwi juice in his glass, and said vaguely, "He seems to be a relative of our Mr. Chairman—I saw him in Mr. Tierner's office. There was Chairman Schwartz in that office at the time, and the man later said his surname was Schwartz..."

"Chairman Schwartz?" Stanzel's eyes lit up.

He is a die-hard Uwensburg fan!Of course it is clear who the current chairman of Uwensburg is!

"How is he? Does he seem friendly? Has he talked to you?"

Ender was a little surprised: "The last time I was caddying for Kazuya Yamada, I wasn't this excited when you knew it, Stanzel."

"Kazuya Yamada is just a player from Uwensburg, and he only came this season," Stanzel explained, "but Chairman Schwartz is our chairman! He has been in the team for many years! From my perspective As a young man he was general manager and then chairman at Uwensborg! The fans love him!"

Ender accepted this explanation. He tilted his head and recalled today's conversation: "Well...The Mr. Chairman is quite kind, and he also knows my name. I was really surprised at that time!"

Stanzel looked very proud: "Chairman Schwartz knows you, of course it means you are excellent, Ender!"

"Uh, it's also possible that he knows all the Uwensburg players..." Ander said, "I don't think I, a youth player, can get the attention of Mr. Chairman. He probably thinks I'm special? After all, I'm from Uwensburg. The only Chinese in the Winsburg team."

While they were talking, the topic got a little off track, but Ender noticed it and quickly straightened it up.

"Let's not talk about this, Stanzel," he asked a little tangled, "Do you think I need an agent?"

"Agent?" Stanzel was taken aback, obviously, he hadn't considered this question.

Ender sat up from the sofa, took out a business card from the pocket of his sweatpants, and handed it to Stanzel: "This is what I just wanted to say... Stanzel, do you think this is true? "

Stanzel picked up the business card and looked at both sides. He frowned, looking very serious, inexplicably serious.

Ender put his hands on his knees and waited for him to speak.

After a while, Stanzel said: "...This seems very serious, child, but I may not be able to give you the answer."

When he said this, there was a very serious guilt on his face, and he was very frank-many parents would choose not to show weakness in front of their children in order to maintain their authority, but Stanzel is not like this. Frankly speaking, I don't know, and the children will not feel that "the tall father's image has collapsed".

"As much as I love football, the closest I've ever been to it was watching games in Uwensburg's stadium," Stanzel said. "I can't tell you if you need an agent, I think... ...If the person who gave you the business card is serious, your mother and I can meet with him and have a face-to-face conversation, and we can also find out what the agent needs to do..."

He looked a little annoyed when he finished speaking, and said in a low voice, "It's——, I forgot to think about this question, I'm sorry, Ender."

"It's nothing, Stanzel," Ender said. "It's not your job to do."

He comforted Stanzel very well, and the latter cheered up and began to think of a way: "Your mother and I don't understand this, so I can't give you advice, but Ender, maybe you can ask your friends? Do Uwensburg U13 teammates have agents? You can ask them, maybe they can give you a lot of useful advice!"

Ender also thought it was a good idea. He took out his mobile phone and started calling his friends in front of Stanzel. Stanzel took out his computer and searched for this [Fantasy Sports Company] on Google, hoping A little more information can be found.

The two had a clear division of labor, and soon Stanzel found the company's homepage, and Ander also asked for answers from Nathan and Grande.

"They all seem to have agents, Grande says his mom is currently his agent, Alexey has a Russian agent... and Nathan's situation may be more complicated, he said his current agent is in Brazil, but he doesn't know the specific situation, because he has received funding from another company...*"

"Oh," Stanzel said, "and what do you think, Ender? Do you think you need an agent?"

Ender hesitated.

"If I will stay in Uwensburg, I don't think it is necessary... After all, I don't have any contract issues to negotiate with the club before I become an adult at the age of 18," he said while thinking, "But... if, I needed a transfer when I was in the youth team, so I may really need an agent to help me deal with such things, Stanzel, do you think you and Li Mei can play such a role?"

Stanzel shook his head: "Ender, my idea is that professional people can do professional things, because negotiations and contracts involve very professional issues, and I don't think I have the ability to deal with them now...Of course, If you insist, your mother and I can try it for you."

Ander understood his attitude: "So, it's better for me to choose a professional brokerage company?"

But this made him face another difficulty: "Then how can I find this? We don't know what this company is like? Is there any other company willing to sign a brokerage contract with me... I don't think I have anything to make me feel Their favorite interests?"

Stanzel and his eyes met, and there was some confusion in their eyes that could not be resolved.

The situation of Ender's friends is different. He has already asked if they are close friends, but he doesn't know who to ask again at this time.

He pondered for a moment in his mind, and suddenly thought of another person.

"Perhaps ... I can ask Sieghard ..." he said, "he should have an agent, and he may have seen more players?"

But how to contact Sieghard?Ender didn't have the other party's contact information.

He took out his mobile phone, clicked on Instagram, hesitated for a long time, and wrote in a private message:

[Hi, Sieghard, hello, maybe you don’t remember, my name is Ander, I’m from Uwensburg...]
