Chapter 16: Ideals and Reality
Thomas Cleo Moreau, Italian, from Brescia, 40 years old, his father is a shoemaker, he is not a football agent, but an idler, nothing in Italy, I don't know where I heard that China is a good place, so I ran to China, hoping to make a fortune in China, but I know that China's crooked nuts are not so easy to mix, and the current China is not the China of the past, China's development of course made him begin to be full of confidence, but unfortunately the reality is cruel, he has achieved nothing over the years, except for learning a Mandarin, in a middle school to find a foreign teacher to teach English, right, It's English, not Italian, to be honest, his English is not bad, but what kind of certificate is related, fake, he found a fake certificate on the street to make a copycat, graduated from a certain university in the United Kingdom, in fact, he only graduated from high school and came out to explore the rivers and lakes, fortunately, the middle school did not check these things carefully, otherwise he would definitely lose his job. When a foreign coach can only live in China, 108,000 miles away from making a fortune to be honest, he gradually cooled down, he used to like to play, the team he liked was not Brescia but AC Milan, and now he is in China, he will come here to play football every weekend, today is no exception, he made an appointment with a few people to play, and when he came to the stadium, he knew that he was wrapped up by someone today, he couldn't play, and it was not bad to watch the ball in boredom.
When he saw Zhang Yuan's wonderful performance, he suddenly came up with an idea, this guy is really good, if I can operate him to Italy, I can make a lot of money, football agent, yes, I will be a football agent, and the money is easy! The more I look at Zhang Yuan, the more I feel pleasing to the eye, the more I think Zhang Yuan is simply a football genius, I think Zhang Yuan is also good or that, and the more I am determined to operate Zhang Yuan to the Italian team, how can I get a commission of hundreds of thousands of euros! Hundreds of thousands, effortlessly! It's a hundred times stronger than the days of suffering here, after making up his mind, he waited slowly, his friends are gone, he stayed and wanted to take advantage of the time to go up and talk to Zhang Yuan, who knew that Zhang Yuan and they had not dispersed, but fortunately they finally dispersed and left Zhang Yuan alone, so he came down to test the temptation, if Zhang Yuan is a professional player, he feels troublesome, if not, it would be better, as long as he can convince Zhang Yuan!
"No, no, it's okay if you're not a professional player, don't you want to be a professional player?" Morrow said.
Becoming a professional player, of course, I want to think about his dream when he used to contact football at this time, but after so many years, the dream of a professional player is getting farther and farther away, and he is ready to study hard to go to college, at this time an Italian suddenly appeared, a football agent said that he should become a professional player, he was a little confused, can I really do it?!
Moreau saw Zhang Yuan's hesitation, and what he was doing now was to dispel Zhang Yuan's hesitation, so he continued: "Zhang, you look very young, how old are you?
"I'm sixteen years old, I'm in high school now, and I'm about to be in my third year of high school, and I've only been in contact with football since the second year of junior high school!" Zhang Yuan replied ignorantly.
"Haha, look, it's not too late for you to get into football, you're only sixteen years old now, you've shown amazing talent, trust me and you're going to be a great footballer! If you want, I can run you to play in Italy, we can go to AC Milan, well, AC Milan knows?"
Of course Zhang Yuan knew, but he couldn't believe it was true, it was even more incredible than winning the game today, and he didn't know how to answer this question.
Moreau may have been in China for a few years, and he didn't persuade Zhang Yuan anymore, and finally said to Zhang Yuan: "Zhang, you think about it, don't you want to chase your dreams, I can see that you like to play football very much, and you must have practiced a lot, otherwise you wouldn't have reached such a level! If you want to figure it out, you are willing to give yourself a chance, you can contact me at any time, I will leave you my phone number, I look forward to your good news!" After speaking, he looked for a pen and planned to write a phone number, but unfortunately he couldn't find it, damn it, he came to play football today, where did he bring a pen and paper! He had to say to Zhang Yuan apologetically: "Zhang, do you have a mobile phone? I'm sorry, I didn't bring a pen and notebook today!"
Zhang Yuan said his phone number by mistake, and Mo Luo dialed the phone and said again: "Remember to call me!"
"Good!" Zhang Yuan responded. Moreau left with a nervous heart, and he prayed silently in his heart, you must call me, it's up to you!
Zhang Yuan walked out of the stadium with a complicated feeling, Qin Hao saw it from afar and blamed: "Zhang Yuan, what are you doing, why are you so slow?!"
"Ah, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Zhang Yuan said embarrassedly after coming back from deep thought.
"Let's go, everyone is tired and panicked, and they all want to go back!" Ma Xu said.
Qin Hao didn't say anything anymore, and pulled Zhang Yuan into the car, the car was a tourist bus, which was just enough to carry the team members, and sent each team member home one by one according to the principle of near first and then far, in fact, everyone basically belonged to that area, and they could send people soon.
Zhang Yuan got out of the car at the entrance of the alley, Ma Xu smiled and teased him that he should not forget to receive the money tomorrow, Zhang Yuan smiled and said no, said goodbye to the rest of the people in the car and left. On the way back, he had an unreal feeling, came to Shanghai for more than ten days, actually participated in a gambling game, many teammates did not know how big the gamble was, but he heard it from Qian Huan's mouth, the gambling game was too big for him to imagine, but this happened like this, and then he could get more than 19,000 yuan by playing a game, and then after a game, a football agent actually found himself to persuade him to embark on the road of a professional player.
Unconsciously, he walked downstairs to his sister's house, and the lights in his sister's house were already on, and it seemed that his sister and brother-in-law had not gone out for a walk, so they were waiting for him at home. He hadn't gone up downstairs for a long time, and he wondered if he should tell his sister about such a bizarre thing, but even if he did, he hadn't even thought about whether he wanted to go on the path of a professional player, or that he was still in a state of confusion. After thinking about it, he still decided not to tell his sister for the time being, don't say such a bizarre thing, my sister doesn't believe it, even he doesn't believe it, let's go back first!
Having made up his mind, he walked up the stairs and knocked on the door, the door opened, it was Li Jun, Li Jun smiled and said: "Caiying, Zhang Yuan is back, I'll just say, it's so big, which one may still kidnap him! Come in quickly, your sister is scared and miserable, thinking that you were abducted and ran away!"
Zhang Yuan smiled: "Which one will come to kidnap me, what's the use of abducting me when it's so big?!"
My sister was having dinner, put down a plate of fried bacon on the small table, and said: "That's not necessarily, I tricked you into being a black worker! Hurry up and wash your hands and eat, I'm tired from playing a game of football this afternoon, let's go to the bathhouse to take a bath after eating! I have bacon to eat today, it's very fragrant!" she fanned the plate of bacon with her hand, and smelled the aroma of bacon intoxicated.
Zhang Yuan pretended to have something in his heart, there was no fun in eating, and he was absent-minded, Zhang Caiying touched his forehead and asked, "Do you have a claw?"
"No!" Zhang Yuan replied.
"No?!Then why are you so unrelenting, what's wrong, isn't that rich second generation lying to you?"
"No, where do you think of it? No, you can get a bonus tomorrow! I can earn more than 19,000!"
"What's the matter??!!," Li Jun squirted out as he drank beer, filling the table.
"True or fake?!Li Jun, what are you doing, vomiting on a table, you eat alone?!" Zhang Caiying didn't care at all, even if it was 190000, 1980% was a lie!
"This is still fake, Qian Huan personally made a promise to everyone today!" Zhang Yuan defended.
"Haha, let's get it tomorrow!" Zhang Caiying didn't believe in getting the money at all.
"Okay, I'm not going to eat, you guys can eat! I'm going to take a bath!" Zhang Yuan said.
"You don't hate your brother Li's saliva, do you?! He didn't spray on the dish!" Zhang Caiying said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Yuan Wa'er, tomorrow and Sunday, Brother Li, I'll treat you to a good meal!" Li Jun said curtly.
"No, I'm really full, I played football today, and my appetite is not very good! You can eat, I'll take a shower first!" Zhang Yuan explained.
"Okay, let's go, let's go! Wash it well, and your whole body will be relaxed!" Zhang Caiying said.
Zhang Yuan nodded, took out his small bag, picked up his pants and T-shirt, and the mobile phone he brought from home lay quietly in the small bag, he hesitated, took out the mobile phone and put it in a plastic bag and went out.
When he went downstairs, he took out his mobile phone and opened it, there was a missed call on it, this is Morrow's phone number, being a professional player for a few years is like a dream, out of reach, but this phone number can realize his dream, is it true? Professional football is his own dream, and the reality is that his parents and sisters think that playing football is not a serious job, relying on college, not being a farmer is his way out, how should he choose?
He was thinking about walking and taking a bath, but unfortunately he still couldn't come up with an answer, how should he choose! When he got home, he was always listless and preoccupied, Zhang Caiying wanted to ask, Li Jun quietly told her not to ask, it is normal for Zhang Yuan to have his own thoughts when he is older, maybe he is talking about friends! Zhang Caiying scolded him in a low voice that he was farting, but he also gave up the idea of asking.
The next day, Zhang Caiying and Li Jun went out to buy vegetables, Zhang Yuan didn't eat well last night, and they planned to cook a good meal for their younger brother at noon. Zhang Yuan went online at home, searched for everything about professional players, and gained a lot of knowledge, but still did not make a decision, but of course he wanted to choose the path of professional players in his heart, but he just didn't realize that he didn't know how to convince his family.
After lunch at noon, Zhang Yuan said that he was going out for a walk, Zhang Caiying stopped him and said that it was such a hot day, what are you going out for? Zhang Yuan was speechless, he just wanted to find a place to think about it, and said that he was going to get a bonus, Zhang Caiying still wanted to ask, but Li Jun stopped her and said to her: "Go and get it, why are you asking so much!"
"But on this hot day, where is the need to go so early?!" Zhang Caiying argued.
"Go early, go early, maybe the baby will get lost!" Zhang Caiying was about to speak again, Li Jun grabbed her, and Zhang Yuan was able to go out.
"What are you stopping me for? This baby must have something to say?!" Zhang Caiying shouted.
"Oh, I just told you last night, Yuan Wa'er has something, he knows to tell you, he doesn't want to say that it's useless for you to force him, isn't it!"
"I'm her sister, he's so young, he shouldn't hide anything from me, I have to ask when I come back at night!"
"You"
"What are you, you don't care so much! That's a matter between me and my brother!" Zhang Caiying made the final decision, and Li Jun had nothing to say.
