football superstar

All day today, Liu Zhengyong maintained a strange excitement.

He is 42 years old this year, and he can be regarded as an old reporter. Since he first joined the newspaper, Liu Zhengyong has been walking step by step, from a small reporter to the editor-in-chief position step by step, and finally being sent to Spain by the headquarters is enough to see It is indeed very trusted.But up to now, Liu Zhengyong has not had any outstanding achievements. The colleagues who have been left in the Beijing headquarters can more or less get promoted and raise their salaries. After a period of time, they can get ahead, but Liu Zhengyong was thrown in Spain. The old reporter is the person in charge of the branch. It seems that it is very good to be sent abroad, but for Liu Zhengyong, what he needs more is a sports star who can make himself a foothold.

This is a capital, and finding a famous sports star is the easiest way.

Look at Xia Rina, who is following the trapeze, is doing well now, and look at the reporter who is stationed in the United States with Zhaoming and is now promoted to editor-in-chief, but Liu Zhengyong still stays in Spain, and there is no improvement at all.

It would be good to stay in the UK. After all, the first choice for Chinese football players to study abroad is the Premier League, and Germany is also good. There have been many Chinese players who have achieved impressive results in the Bundesliga.

But Spain is not a suitable soil for Chinese players to grow.

As long as you are willing to work hard, have active running and strong physique, it is a good choice to hone in the Premier League.The relatively more stable Bundesliga can also allow many young players to try it out. For example, Shao Jiayi achieved very good results back then.

Spain is a place that pays attention to skills. The players have a lot of work under their feet. Simply relying on their excellent body or strong running is not necessarily enough to stay, and talent is also needed.But talented players have no connections and no money, so how can they get the opportunity to study abroad?In the end, most of the players who survived until they were sent out for trial training abroad were past the age of relying on talent to become famous.

Coming to Spain means sitting on the bench. For the big eastern countries eager to get a football hero, players who have been sitting on the bench are not what they want to see.

On the one hand, I desperately hope that the national football team will be good, but on the other hand, I am eager for quick success. This has become a stark contradiction.

Training is hard work, and Spain, which is ten times more intense than domestic training, sometimes has few young players who can bear it.Domestic clubs will also poach corners with high salaries, which makes these seedlings die directly.

This also puts Liu Zhengyong in an awkward position. If he wants to get ahead, he must tie up a star who can be relied on and even admired. But after waiting for so many years, he has not waited for even one.

And just when Liu Zhengyong was close to giving up, he met a person whom Liu Zhengyong regarded as a turning point!

Staring at Clemens with almost sparkling eyes, Liu Zhengyong eagerly wanted to interview this 19-year-old Spanish-Portuguese mixed-race man who could speak Mandarin fluently, and there would occasionally be a word or two in Mandarin. Liu Zhengyong felt very familiar with a sentence with a slight taste of dialect, and it was clearly Sichuan dialect.

After the press conference, Liu Zhengyong found the Deportivo club, hoping to interview this amazing goalkeeper, but was told that he had to contact him for a separate interview.

What is an individual contact?That is, the reporter must go through the player agent.

So, that night, Clemens received a call from Mendez.

"Congratulations, Thomas, you played very well today." Mendes' voice sounded with a smile, and even through the phone, Clemens could hear that the agent from home was in a good mood now.

Clemens tilted his head and clamped his mobile phone, then freed his hand to open the refrigerator, took out a bottle of milk from it, and opened the seal while saying: "Thank you Jorge, you have now returned to Portugal Yet?"

"Not yet, I'm going to stay here for a while longer to make sure that your location in La Coruña will not change before you leave."

Clemens could hear Mendes' attention, took the milk, walked to the sofa and nestled in: "Thank you very much, I think I should also thank Chris, he was able to introduce you to me."

Mendes smiled, but did not continue the polite words, but got to the point: "Thomas, I want to ask you, do you have any contact with the Chinese media?"

Clemens immediately remembered the reporter at today's post-match press conference. He took a sip of milk and said, "I saw one today."

"He just contacted me and wants to do an interview with you, and he will give you a whole page. He seems very determined, although I think it is too early to let you get an interview, but China The media is always different, so I wanted to ask your opinion."

As Mendes said, the Chinese media is always different, because China, which is called a football desert in Europe, has many enthusiastic fans and countless banknotes.

For Mendes, he is an agent and a businessman. A place without a star but with great business potential will certainly not be ignored by Mendes.Today, many European giants have gone to China to search for gold. Real Madrid alone conducts China tours from time to time. Every time they go, they make a lot of money and receive endorsements.

The two most successful superstars under him, Ronaldo and Mourinho, have both tasted the sweetness of China. For Mendes, the sooner he can tap the potential of this market, the better.

So he didn't stop the Chinese reporter's decision to conduct an exclusive interview with Clemens, but just called to ask Clemens what he thought.

It is always close to Clemens to meet people from his hometown who speak the same language as himself, even if he is a stranger, he will feel lonely.Clemens, who used to pass the time in the deep mountains and old forests every day, didn't feel lonely, but now, surrounded by foreign friends and seeing colorful people every day, Clemens doesn't feel lonely. Consciously, I will miss the feeling when my eyes were full of black hair and yellow skin.

"As long as it doesn't hinder the competition and training, I have plenty of time." Clemens shook the milk in his hand, pursed his lips, squeezed a piece of candy from the side and threw it in, then thought for a while, and squeezed it again A piece was thrown in.

Mendes will naturally take this into consideration, and put this matter on the agenda in the small notebook that he carries. Before accepting the interview, what the agent needs to do is to get to know the unfamiliar newspaper well, and touch it. Be clear about their interview lines and prepare the players.After he had a solid idea in his mind, Mendes saw the advertisements and negotiations of several manufacturers recorded on the side.

Clemens' excellent appearance really gave him a lot of points. Even though he only has one month's first-team experience, there are already many advertising contracts with a keen sense of smell coming to him.But Mendez's vision is very high, picking and choosing one by one, and he has not made a good choice until now.

Advertising is a very important place. The commercial endorsements that a good star can receive will not only bring him income, but also increase his social status.The first contract always needs to be carefully considered, and Mendes will never agree to those contracts that cannot be put on the table.

After thinking for a long time, Mendes still put the advertisement aside, but said: "Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is also my coach, I met with him today, and then he told I have worked hard on Kaka's injury."

Clemens gave an unimportant "hmm".

"About this, I need you to keep it a secret, and I will not let this news spread. You are a player, and I don't want other things to affect your performance." Mendes considered more than Clements. He is not interested in the affairs between Clemens and Kaka at all. What he needs is a young goalkeeper who has no distractions. Even if he does have a way to help people recover, Mendes is not interested. Hope to be advertised.

"Okay." Clemens naturally agreed.

The reason for helping Kaka is that Clemens regards him as a friend, and Kaka is clean enough to make people like him. As for others, Clemens has no time to take care of them.

Mendez let go of his heart, said no more, and hung up the phone after saying goodbye to each other.

Clemens drank the milk from the bottle.

Mr. Daochang, who can’t eat grains, has never treated his mouth badly since he started eating. After eating all kinds of things, Clemens felt that the sweet taste was his tongue’s favorite, and the sugar cubes on the table were even better. very diligent.

Not only is this behavior not prohibited, but it is also strongly encouraged. Vazquez wished that now Clemens could gain a few pounds of flesh and get stronger sooner.

After a bottle of milk, Clemens felt that he had finished his nutritional recipes for the day, took out his phone, clicked on himself, and updated a tweet.

'Thank you for your support, a good game.It looks like this today. '

After the game, Ronaldo, who went home to play happily with his soft and cute son, raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and was about to reply, but saw that someone had snatched the sofa away.

'ssi: doing well [thumb]'

People are like this sometimes, obviously they are just passing by, but they always feel uncomfortable when the sofa is snatched away, especially when it is snatched away by people who have always disliked each other.

He was holding his fat son in one hand, and was about to comment with the other hand, when another comment popped up:

':Good night'

...I said it's fine if Messi doesn't sleep, Kaka, why don't you sleep?What about the good boy?

Ronaldo had a feeling that he wanted to say something urgently, so he casually typed in while holding his fat son:

'aldo: Children just need to drink more milk. By the way, I'm not happy if I didn't grab the sofa. '

Master Luo wants a sofa?And now the couch is... Messi? !

As a result, Clemens' Twitter was full of blood and rain that night, but Clemens did not pay too much attention to it.He dialed Kaka's number with his newly developed video function, and expressed his gratitude to Kaka for his support "face-to-face".

Kaka smiled, and it looked like the Son of God was sitting on the bed. The pure white pillow and quilt looked very soft, and the things at the head of the bed were neatly arranged. Kaka's smile was also very sunny and warm: "The team doctor has told Me, I'm recovering well from my injury, I think I'm a long way ahead of schedule and I'll be back the next time we meet."

"Congratulations." Clemens hugged the pillow, his blond hair was dazzling even under the light.

"The next game may be difficult, but Thomas, I will look forward to your performance." Kaka smiled when he said this, the sun was shining, and the Son of God never lost his warm smile.

This kind of smile made Clemens also subconsciously bend his lips: "I also look forward to your return to the court as soon as possible."

"Your future will be brilliant, and I look forward to seeing you on the court next time." Kaka slightly lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes were long and his smile was warm, "Next time I think I will score a goal from you. "

Clemens blinked, but also smiled, and said in a firm voice, "I'm looking forward to it too, Ricardo."

In the middle of the week, Deportivo ushered in a contest with Atletico Madrid.

Except for the Spanish First Division, Deportivo does not need to have any burdens without any European qualifications. After the end of the league with Real Betis, there is only a half-day holiday, and the next afternoon is on the sidelines of the training field Assemble on board and prepare to take the team bus to Madrid.

This is the third time that Clemens has gone to Madrid in a month, but this time his schedule is fully arranged. After he arrives, he will have to undergo training for adapting to the field, and he cannot go out and run around at night. Vazquez has already made a decision He has adopted a very strict locker room system. He does not care about rest days, but before the game, he must stay in the hotel in a proper manner and not run around casually. He cannot be late for training and leave early. He must participate in regular physical examinations. Those under the age of 20 are not allowed to drink alcohol.

Since Clemens is the only player on the team under 20, it's obvious that this rule is for him.

Vazquez is not suspicious of Clemens, but because La Coruña looks calm inside, but in fact there are quite a few kids who like to play, although Manuel is a good captain, mature and self-disciplined , I don’t want the captain to lead the young players to see the nightlife like other teams, but the field and the locker room are under the management of Manuel. After leaving here, Manuel can’t go home with others every day.But Vazquez knows their virtues. Take Nelson, who has been so bright lately, he likes to drill into nightclubs when he has nothing to do, and he can't even pull them out. After exhausting his energy, Nelson calmed down.

Vazquez was afraid that Clemens would be led badly, so he simply snuffed out any possible signs from the root.

Clemens didn't care. The locker room rules, in his opinion, were like the rules and regulations of every sect. They had to be followed, so there was no need to think too much about it.Mr. Daochang, who still brought football to the same height as Taoism, has always been disciplined and cautious, and worked hard. Now that he has become famous, all kinds of media will stare at him with eyes like searchlights, but they can't find anything about this person. stain.

He is obviously a little guy under 20 years old, and he has quickly become popular. Every day, people clamor to give him a monkey, but he lives like an old man.

The training ground, stadium, and home, except for these three places, the reporters who followed the filming did not find that he has other hobbies.

Well-behaved kids don't attract the media's liking. What they like are bad guys who can make news anytime and anywhere. They wish those stars would pick up a girl today and bombard people the next, and the more they tear up the coach, the more happy they will be.

Only when there are conflicts and conflicts, can the media write, sell and make money.

Clemens' persistent but boring life really bored the reporters who followed him. Instead of squatting outside his house every day, it's better to check Clemens' Twitter if you have nothing to do. The drama there is much better. up.

In addition to the basic training and competition content, Mendes also specifically told him that there was an exclusive interview with Clemens after the game.

The person who interviewed him was Liu Zhengyong whom he had met last time.

I have to say that Liu Zhengyong has done a lot of work. In order to obtain an exclusive interview with Clemens, he almost tried his best to persuade Mendes, but the results are always good. Mendes was indeed moved by him.

"I have investigated, "Sports Weekly" has a large circulation in China, and has a close relationship with their national TV station. It is only good for you to establish a good cooperative relationship with this publication early on." Door Des said on the phone, "However, Thomas, this is your first interview, remember my sentence, all reporters are cunning, they can use any sentence you say to make headlines, You have to be careful in answering every question."

"Okay," Clemens responded as he walked to the practice field.

"That reporter Liu sounds good in Spanish, and there is no obstacle for you to communicate, but if you encounter something you don't understand, you'd better ask him to say it a few times and don't answer casually." Mendes was still worried. When Ronaldo was just signed by him, he was fooled by the media in Portugal, and he directly became a negative example. Even if Ronaldo left Portugal and went to Manchester United, he would still be surrounded by various media with words.

Clemens has no worries about this: "There will be no communication barrier between me and him, I can speak Chinese."

"……What did you say?"

"I can speak Chinese, I don't think he will misunderstand anything about me."

Mendes obviously didn't expect this young player to have such magical skills. You know, ordinary football players can be flexible, but few can complete their studies.Language talent often requires special training. Portuguese and Spanish can be said to rely on the education of Clemens' parents, but Chinese?

The square font always made him feel that there was some profound philosophy in it.

But this made Mendes feel that he needed to have a deep understanding of the newly signed young players.

When he hung up the phone, Clemens had already walked into the gate of the Deportivo training base.

When the goalkeeper Big George came out and waved to Clemens when he saw Clemens, he smiled brightly and said, "Good morning, Thomas."

"Hello, Uncle George." Clemens walked up to George, then looked up, "Sir, are they here?"

Big George said enthusiastically: "Come here, Vazquez is a good coach. He always comes to the training ground to work every day. But it is still a while before the team bus arrives. You are the earliest among the players. "

Clemens nodded. Although the journey to Madrid is far away, the team's priority is still the team bus, and it is estimated that it will arrive in the evening.

The logo color of Deportivo is blue and white, and the team bus is naturally painted in this color.Selfie-loving Clemens pulled out his phone, held it up, and snapped a picture of himself with the team bus.

I have to say that good-looking people always take advantage of it. Even without any retouching, the sunlight alone can modify Clemens' face as if it is radiating light.

Posted directly on Twitter, and then Clemens stood there waiting for comments, and the fans and fans who left him messages did not disappoint Clemens, and an army of shouting "the god is so handsome and born a monkey" rushed towards him Come on, Clemens tilted his head, put the phone back into his pocket with a slight smile on his face.

It feels good to have someone to support, and the Taoist priest who was always alone felt that he might also like to be lively.

Big George looked around, it was still early, and there were not many people in the training ground, so Big George took out a scarf.

Dark blue base with pure white 'A Coruña' on top.

"You are..." Clemens blinked in surprise.

Big George smiled. He was obviously a man with a white beard, but he made a mischievous smile like a child: "I asked for leave for two days. I plan to drive to Madrid with you today to watch the game." Then Big George turned the scarf around his neck again, and pulled out a jersey from the bag.

No. 99 belongs to Clemens' jersey.

"I'm going to wear this, Clemens, you must sign me after the game." Big George laughed twice, and reached out and patted Clemens on the shoulder vigorously, looking Be confident.

Clemens nodded, the reputation spread on the virtual network is far less intense than the face-to-face feeling.

He had his first fans, his own fans, and Clemens felt that he must live up to his expectations.

The desire to win, and the next win, has never been greater.
