Chapter 112: Good job, boy!
"Come on, come on, try the home cooking we make ourselves. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In a modest four-storey building just a few minutes away from the Alginegin Stadium, brothers Fernando and Armando are warmly greeting and entertaining Gao Han and his party.
In the kitchen, an elderly Spanish couple in their seventies and two middle-aged women in their forties were busy preparing lunch, while outside the house, seven or eight children, ranging from a few years old to a teenager, were playing noisily.
The whole scene seemed to be very lively and happy.
This is David Silva's family!
As the head chef, Grandma Antonia quickly brought out her own specialty dishes.
Steamed black sea bass, stir-fried shredded pork with lentils, tuna baked in sauce, octopus fried in sauce...... All of them are local products of the harbor fishing village.
The fish is said to have been brought back by the fishing boat returning to the port in the morning, and the lentils were home-grown, both of which are rare and good things to see outside.
Under the warm hospitality of Silva's family, Gao Han and others enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.
When they had eaten and wiped off, the women began to pack their things, while the men went to the shade of the trees in the courtyard to discuss David Silva.
Gao Han has told Paul Futrey with great certainty that David Silva is an absolute genius.
Both the Portuguese and Abel Recino were also persuaded to sign David Silva.
Also signed were Bitolo and Etami.
The signing of three players in one go is quite an astonishing thing for Alginegin.
This is not only a good compensation income, but also a partnership with Atletico Madrid, which will surely allow them to attract more children to play football.
Gao Han's attention to David Silva made Paul Futtley dare not be careless.
Although no one is sure that after a few months, the head coach will still be Gao Han or not, but since he is a genius, he must not miss it.
Besides, the youth training of any company is like this, and it is better to kill the wrong than never let it go.
Therefore, the terms given by Paul Futre and Abel Resinau are also very generous, and the team is responsible for David Silva's room and board, with an additional subsidy of 100 euros per month.
Not only that, but considering that David Silva is only fourteen years old, the team is willing to help his parents and family settle in Madrid.
For example, give their parents a job and let them take care of their son nearby.
Such conditions are absolutely impossible for Fernando's family to refuse, especially with a traditional giant like Atletico Madrid.
Although their family is all fans of Real Madrid, it is understandable to switch to Atletico Madrid for the sake of their son's future future.
Besides, they were ruthlessly rejected by Real Madrid!
The two sides reached a tacit understanding on the spot, and after a verbal agreement, the deal was completed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
While the adults were sitting in the shade of the trees in the courtyard, talking about the big things that would determine the child's life, David Silva, as the person concerned, was in the courtyard, looking up at the blue sky without a trace of clouds, and the ball on his feet seemed to have a mind, tossing back and forth between his feet, and never fell once.
"What are you thinking?" Gao Han walked over with a smile.
When the shy Alginegin boy saw Gao Han, he was obviously taken aback, and the ball on his foot fell, and he quickly stretched out his hand and hugged the ball in his arms, as if to hide his mistake.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. The boy said.
What a sensitive brat!
Gao Han secretly laughed in his heart, "Have you ever left your hometown?"
"Hmm!" the boy nodded, "I've been to Madrid...... Once"
Obviously, that time was to participate in Real Madrid's academy selection, but the impression given to the teenager should not be a memory worth happy and remembering.
"It's always unsettling to leave your hometown for the first time and live in a strange place for a long time. Gao Han said.
The boy didn't answer, but nodded his head in acquiescence.
He had never lived outside of his homeland for long, and although he was fourteen years old, he was not at all curious about what the outside world was like, for in his memory there was only Alginegin.
At most, it's the Canary Islands.
"I've forgotten what my hometown is really like. Gao Han also raised his head, looked at the amazing blue sky, and said with some feeling.
The boy was strange, looking at him with puzzled eyes.
"When I was a child, my parents took me on a long journey to a completely unfamiliar city for the sake of life and for me, so I have no memory of what my hometown was like. β
"Do you think that city is your hometown?" asked the boy curiously.
"It's a little emotional. Gao Han replied with a smile, "But, I don't like it very much." β
"Why?"
Gao Han shook his head and smiled, but did not answer.
He wanted to say that the "home" in Beijing in his memory was the old courtyard house and the ten-square-meter rented house.
Although the sixth master is a very good person, it is difficult for that "family" to give him a sense of belonging.
Perhaps, if we go back now, things will be better.
At the very least, he has his own building in the center of Beijing.
It is nine storeys high, except for the top floor, which is two duplexes, and the other floors are two sets of one floor.
He's starting to feel a little at home now.
"I had a choice once. Gao Han suddenly spoke again.
The young man raised his head again and looked at Gao Han with his eyes full of aura.
"After graduating from university, I can choose to stay in my home country, get a good job, and live a stable life. β
When Gao Han said this, he smiled slightly: "But, I didn't!"
"Why?" the boy asked curiously again.
"Because what I want to pursue, I don't have in my homeland!"
Gao Han smiled and patted David Silva on the shoulder, he suddenly found that the young man in front of him was actually not too short, more than one meter and a half tall, living by the sea for a long time, with slightly dark skin, looking introverted and shy, but he did not have the ignorance of his peers.
"No one can live a lifetime in a familiar and stable place, and life is a process of constantly tossing, constantly creating problems for themselves, and then constantly solving problems!"
If it were other peers, it might not have been understood, but David Silva nodded thoughtfully.
After a long time, he raised his head again.
"Sir, could you please answer me a serious question?"
Gao Han smiled, "Of course. β
"Do you really think I can be a professional footballer?"
Gao Han didn't answer directly, "What about you?"
"I don't know. The boy shook his head, a little confused.
It can be seen that Real Madrid's failure experience has hit his self-confidence a lot.
It is no wonder that the boy from a small fishing village has been regarded as a genius by the people around him since he was a child, and he is full of confidence and full of longing to go to the big city, but what he gets is a slap in the face.
Not to mention a fourteen-year-old boy, even if he is an adult, he will inevitably doubt himself.
"Do you know me?" asked Gao Han.
The boy nodded, "I know, I've read it in the newspaper, and Mr. Alonso also talked about it just now." β
"I've been at Atletico Madrid for almost a year and I've had more than 10 young players out of my hands, including Villa and Torres, who are now famous all over the country, you've heard of them. β
The teenager nodded, as long as it was a Spaniard who liked football, who hadn't heard of Villa and Torres?
"In the past year, as long as I have selected the players, none of them have been taken away. β
David Silva was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Gao Han with a look of disbelief.
At this moment, Gao Han stared at him with a heartfelt and extremely confident look, as if he wanted to tell him that I would tell you with my most serious and serious attitude.
"I believe that in time, you will become one of the best players in Spain, in Europe, in the world, and you will become the most brilliant star in the world, even more than your idol, BellerΓ³n!"
David Silva wears the number one jersey left behind by Belleron, which speaks to his adoration of Belleron.
Gao Han's words seemed to inject a wave of energy into the young man's heart, which stabilized his originally anxious heart, and the whole person was no longer confused before.
"I see, thank you, sir!" said the young man, smiling shyly.
At this moment, he looked at Gao Han with respect in his eyes.
"Good job, boy!" Gao Han smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder again.
It was the first time he had seen David Silva's smile, shy, unpretentious and sincere.
What a likable brat!
Gao Han watched him leave with the ball on his feet, and thought with a smile.
"Looks like you like this kid. β
Paul Futrey didn't know when, but suddenly appeared beside Gao Han.
Gao Han was taken aback, "Can you trouble me, before you come out of the ground in the future, remind me?"
Paul Futrrayden was speechless.
What do you mean to come out of the ground? You're a ghost?
"How's it going?" asked Gao Han.
"Well, that's it. β
Atletico Madrid is quite efficient in this regard.
"What about the other two players?" Gao Han asked casually.
Compared to David Silva, the other two players are not very concerned about Gao Han.
He is now accustomed to seeing future stars with potential of 1780 at every turn, how can he still care about 1450 players?
On the contrary, Paul Futrey and Abel Resinoe are very important to all three players.
"It's all agreed, they will clean up in the next few days and go back to Madrid with us next weekend. β
According to the La Liga schedule, Atletico Madrid will return to the Canary Islands next week after playing Las Palmas this week, against Tenerife, who are currently second in La Liga.
This match will also be the highlight of Atletico Madrid.
Because the Bed Legion want to finish in the top three, or even win the title, Sevilla, Tenerife and Real Betis will be the most direct rivals.
In the case of falling behind in points, the duel between each other has undoubtedly become the fastest effective means to shorten the gap in points.
Therefore, in the next round against Tenerife, Atletico Madrid must win.
The outside world is also very concerned about this battle of the Heavenly King.
Because since Gao Han took over the team, he has been like a bamboo, and he has won consecutive battles, but Tenerife is not far behind.
Under manager Rafael Benitez, Tenerife has been in impressive form this season, with the title race against the top team Sevilla in full swing.
With the league drawing to a close, with only two points separating Tenerife from Sevilla, Benitez is absolutely unwilling to give up all three points at home.
The same can be said for Atletico Madrid, who will have to win Tenerife in order to finish in the top three.
This is destined to be a white-knuckle battle with bayonets and blood.
But no one thought of it......
