39. Laco conditions

Obviously, the live commentary was overjoyed.

Since Juan was selected for the national team and Portugal has produced many young talents one after another, the whole of Portugal has rejoiced, they think that this is finally the time for Portugal to rise, and as a result, Juan unexpectedly retired, and only Cristiano can be used among the three most outstanding talents.

Originally, the whole of Portugal was disheartened, but I didn't expect that in this European Cup, Juan could still play on the field, and the Portuguese youngsters learned that cooperation is power, and many people expressed their satisfaction for this goal.

Cristiano was running along the sideline to celebrate, he saw Juan in front of him at a glance, and quickly quickened his pace and rushed over like a small cannonball, Juan saw him getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows to pick up people, but Quaresma rushed from the other direction, collided with Cristiano, and almost hit the other end of the billboard for Portugal 17.

The two men hugged each other excitedly, and Postiga soon joined them, and many of his teammates who were close to him went to celebrate together, including those on the bench, Juan and Scolari looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Forget it, anyway, it's already a two-goal lead, the bears can make a fuss as much as they want, and Russia can't make waves.

Of course, when Cristiano was let go and everyone ran to the court one by one, Cristiano still approached Juan sweaty, Juan subconsciously frowned at the approach of his little teammates, but still stretched out his hands and gave him a hug.

The Portuguese teenager excitedly ran away after receiving this hug to continue the game, and Scolari looked at his back and raised his eyebrows with interest: "Don't you have a slight cleanliness fetish?" ”

Juan's face did not change: "This is the stadium. ”

Physical contact on the pitch is certainly indispensable, and when they stumble like this, their bodies are more likely to be bruised and black – not skin, but jerseys, which are easily stained with the color of grass, but it is the passion of sweat that makes football so attractive.

Seeing that Juan seemed to be extraordinarily tolerant as soon as he arrived on the field, Scolari laughed twice and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, do you have any arrangements for the end of the European Championship?" ”

"Yes." Juan nodded, "My agent is already arranging it for me." ”

"Okay." Scolari looked disappointed, Juan knew what the Brazilian coach was thinking, nothing more than to invite him to stay as an assistant coach, but he was now in the period of rapid growth, he needed a club, especially a strong team, to hone his own ability, and the national team was obviously inferior to the club in terms of the intensity of the game.

He is in need of a lot of experience, and an assistant coach for a national team is clearly not enough for him.

The game ended with Portugal's 2-0 victory, and when he returned to the dressing room, Postiga didn't think about anything, and went to the side to pack up and shower, but Quaresma turned his head to look at him several times, and Juan frowned.

What's wrong, he has dirty things on his face?

Soon, under Quaresma's deliberate friction, he was left alone in the locker room outside without taking a shower, Quaresma took a deep breath and walked over, obviously having something to say, and Juan looked at him for a long time.

"Juan...... I figured it out. ”

"Huh?"

"No matter which club you go to, I'll follow you." "Whether it's the Premier League, the Bundesliga, the French Ligue 1 or whatever, even if it's just a low-level league team, as long as your team is willing to offer me, I will follow you." ”

Obviously, Quaresma made up his mind, and he didn't know what made him make such a change, but this is not a bad thing, Juan was silent for a while, and raised his eyebrows: "What made you make such a decision?" ”

He was really curious, after all, if he really took the worst scenario of Quaresma, he would probably play in the league, such as La Liga, for example, the Championship or something.

Quaresma has only played in the lower divisions when he was in the youth team, and that is because the youth team can only play in the lower leagues. Now it's a bit difficult to let him kill all the way back from below.

Quaresma took a deep breath.

"I want to be strong."

He was fed up with sitting on the bench at BarΓ§a, and fed up with continuing to be mediocre, and he had a hunch that if he and Postiga continued in this situation for a few more years, the Portuguese newcomers would soon be able to replace them.

"Okay." Juan nodded, somewhat relieved. He had the impression that the young man who had always been flamboyant was finally a bit of a shape, which was a good thing for Juan and for the team.

He also packed his things and went in the shower, and Juan looked around the messy locker room and sighed and went out.

Scolari happened to come back from the press conference after the game, still with a smile on his face, it was obvious that he ended this press conference with a friendly mood, and when he saw Juan, his first reaction was to step forward and pat him on the shoulder: "Juan, take a good look at the next game." ”

"The end is ...... Ah, Spain. Juan was amazed, "What's wrong?" "He knew he was going to play in the second half, but did Scola suddenly remember to emphasize it again?

"So I'll tell you," Scolari replied with a sigh, "and if Spain lose one more game, the next game against Russia could be their last game of the European Championship." ”

"How so?" Juan raised his eyebrows, "It's not that bad now, Spain didn't win this game?" ”

When Portugal played against Greece at the same time, Spain played against the remaining Greece in Porto, but no one expected that Spain was actually dragged by Greece and couldn't move, and the result could only end with a score of 1:1.

After listening to Scolari's description, Juan frowned: "That's even more unlikely, now the group's points have not yet reached the time when Spain is in decline." ”

Now the situation in their group is that Portugal has six points from two wins in two games and is at the top of the group; Spain has 4 points from one win and one draw in two games, ranking second; Greece has two games, one loss and one draw, accumulating one point, ranking third; Russia lost two games and two losses, accumulating zero points.

Russia is decided, but no matter how you look at it, Greece has become the next elimination target in the group stage, how can it become Spain in Scolari's mouth?

There are three games for each team in the group stage, so the points will be easily fixed.

'It's the last game for Spain, they scored three goals, they scored two, they had a goal difference of one, and if Greece won the game and scored two goals in the game, they could have knocked Spain away.

In terms of goal difference, it is true that Greece still has a good chance of sending Spain away, and it is clear that this Spain team is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface.

Listening to Scolari's analysis, Juan was silent for a moment.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, then we just need to win the next game and don't love much to send Spain away?"

"That's right." Scolari smiled, "It's just time that your vacation is over, so let's simulate a little bit tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Juan nodded.

On the bus back to the players, everyone was quite exhausted, after all, 90 minutes of high-intensity play is not an easy job, especially Cristiano, as soon as he got on the bus, he collapsed exhausted and rolled in the arms of their captain, saying that he really couldn't walk, and he was willing to get up only after the captain hugged him.

With the whole car speechless, Figo slipped out of the person in his arms with a black face and wanted to beat him, and then remembered what Juan said, "This is the hope of Portugal's future", took a deep breath several times to calm down, pressed the person to the seat next to him, and patted his head: "Don't make trouble, I'm tired." ”

In this game, they played as if they were playing rugby, many times of physical collision, after all, the body of the opposing player was placed there, and they didn't know why they didn't bring a few newcomers up to experience the experience, anyway, the small bodies of the Portuguese youngsters were not enough for them to hit.

"Okay, so can I go to Juan's later?" Cristiano asked with a smile on his face, at least at Juan's, he could talk to people or something, and the captain didn't mean anything at all, and they didn't remind him with a game console or anything! So much so that he could only hang out and play everywhere......

"Stay honest, recuperate and recuperate." Juan has been sitting in front of him and listening, but the movement in front of him is getting louder and louder, and soon even the coaching staff heard the situation here and smiled, and Juan could only turn his head and reply.

The Portuguese youngster stopped talking, and the coaching staff turned back and began to discuss the game, after all, the next game is against Spain, and they hope to raise 120,000 points of attention.

If they can beat Spain, they will maintain the top spot in the group, and it is safe to say anything...... The main point is that the group winners can slightly avoid running into the top teams of the other groups, which is also beneficial for Portugal.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Juan was stunned, his agent Jorge was waiting at the door of the hotel, he hadn't seen him for a long time, the Portuguese agent seemed to have lost a lot, but Juan also knew the reason why he was suddenly so thin, after all, he started a business all of a sudden, and he was still very tired.

Cristiano also saw Jorge at a glance, his eyes lit up and he rushed over and hugged the Portuguese agent: "Jorge, why are you here!" ”

"Can't I come and see you playing? This is Portugal. Jorge took the man off his body and greeted Scolari and Deco with a smile - all of his players.

Basically, Portugal's young talent has been pocketed by Jorge, especially with Cristiano, the biggest success example, and now both old and new people are willing to let Jorge take him, because he sincerely thinks about the interests of the player himself, which makes many people very comfortable.

Juan got out of the car late, but he also saw Jorge at a glance, and the Portuguese agent welcomed everyone into the hotel with a smile, and was stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then beckoned to him with a smile: "Juan, come quickly!" ”

"Come and see the game?" Juan walked up to him and smiled, only to get Jorge's eyes: "That's right, I just came to see the game, and I didn't stop by to see you." ”

Seeing the Portuguese agent's unhappy look, Juan chuckled and put his shoulder on his shoulder: "Go in and say." ”

After finding a place to sit down, Juan finally understood Jorge's intention - although it was true that he wanted to watch the game, but the most important thing was that he had come to greet Juan this time.

"Tomorrow Laco's men will come?" Juan's eyes flashed, in fact, he didn't expect A CoruΓ±a's movements to be so fast, "You're done talking?" ”

"It's all negotiated, you can rest assured that I will do something." Jorge smiled at him, then took out the contract from the briefcase he carried and handed it to him: "Come and see, are you satisfied?" ”

Juan lowered his head and began to look at the contract, but soon his face changed and he looked up again to meet Jorge Mendes' radiant face.

"Well, this contract is very good! At least in terms of transfers, you're already the Alex Ferguson of La Liga. ”

"It's up to me to buy and sell?" Juan only felt that his lips were a little dry. In La Liga, although the head coach can interfere in the selection and appointment of players, in practice he still has to accept the restrictions of the sporting director, especially when it comes to the purchase and sale of the team, which must be approved by the chairman.

But Laco seems to have taken a big gamble.

"Yes." Jorge smiled and nodded, "Mourinho goes to Chelsea next season, and their boss is only giving you the same benefits, the only problem now is that Laco may not have as much money as Chelsea for you to squander." ”

…… Chelsea's tycoon owners, oh.

"But at least, Chairman Laco isn't as in control as the Chelsea owner, is he?" Juan said softly, continuing to look down, looking at it and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"What is the money earned by the club, and I can use it for the whole purpose of building the club...... Am I right? Juan was really dumbfounded.

"You understood it right." Jorge smiled, but the expression on his face was also a little funny, and the conditions offered by Deportivo were simply unheard of, "What Deportivo means is that as long as you make money for the club, then as long as you take out a part of the money to use it for the daily maintenance of the club, you can use the rest as you want...... The premise is for club use. ”

"Let me come with all of them, and Laco is not afraid of accidents." Sighing, Juan looked down at the contract again, originally thinking that there would be nothing more surprising to him, but continuing to look at the terms, he directly didn't hold back: "Jorge, you won't be holding a fake contract to scold me, right?" ”

"Am I that bored? Is there April Fool's Day today? Jorge glared at him angrily, "To be honest, that's why I came to you so late, after all, even if it's me...... I also think this contract is really good. ”

"No, I mean, don't you see the one in the middle." Juan's face darkened, and he showed the contract to Jorge, "All of the above can be achieved on the condition of paying off the debt owed by A CoruΓ±a?" ”

This is definitely teasing him...... Laco still owes the government two or three hundred million, and the bank also owes a lot of money, and if I have to say, the whole Laco will not have so much money to repay after it is sold.

"I saw it." Jorge looked calm and calm, "Anyway, a Champions League group stage, the broadcast fee alone is 40 million, what are you afraid of." ”

"That's just a drop in the bucket, unless I make it to the final......," he sighed, "didn't Laco reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, and it should be almost the same, those debts." ”

"Yes," Jorge nodded as expected, Juan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard the Portuguese agent say, "It's still nearly 200 million, you work hard to make money, all kinds of games are played, and you will be able to earn enough soon." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You're really not pulling me into the fire pit? Juan was a little skeptical, and Jorge quickly clarified, "Of course not!" I believe you have the strength to tell you, and even Laco believes in you, what else do you have to be afraid of? ”

"I'm not afraid." Juan retorted, "It's really too good for this condition, and many famous coaches who have already made achievements don't have this treatment, right?" ”

"Yes," Jorge smiled, "but who let you have me, and...... Who makes you have high business value? ”

Oh.

Juan realized, Laco pulled him over, hoping that he would make money, and secondly, he would play: "I would like to know how they are sure that I can make money." ”

Having said that, his eyes were already full of clear glances at the person in front of him, which directly made Jorge Mountain smile and wipe a cold sweat: "This...... Haven't you already made a lot of money by investing in social software...... Lako's main search is actually someone who can help them get through the difficult situation in front of them, I thought about it carefully, and you are basically the only one who can develop money-making projects, so they are dead horses and horse doctors......"

"Okay." Juan finally knew that Laco dared to offer such generous conditions to a novice coach like him, just for one word - money. "They are not afraid of being exposed and criticized by Laco fans."

After all, no matter what you say, Laco's chairman is a football-savvy person, much better than Florentino and Abramovich, but this time the choice of the head coach, he will definitely suffer a lot of pressure.

After all, at this time last year, Juan was still leading the team and their youth team......

"That's his own business, you can show yourself well, and you will be able to raise your eyebrows soon." Jorge patted him on the shoulder, "I believe in you, you can definitely do it!" Twenty-two-year-old multi-millionaire ...... Tsk tsk. ”

For now, Juan is the richest of the people he has signed, not only about his family background, but also about the money he earns, and I don't know where this kid came up with the idea, quietly using his modest salary to invest in other businesses, and thanks to his frequent working meals at Manchester United, the rental of a house a long time ago, and the various clothes that his sister sent him......

But for now, the returns are still very good.

"Stop laughing at me." Juan smiled, looked down at the contract again, except for these shocking clauses, everything else was relatively normal, and the distribution was very reasonable, so he handed the contract to Jorge after a rough glance: "I don't have a problem." ”

"Then I'll go and contact them about the situation." Jorge put the contract in his bag and got up and smiled, "See you tomorrow?" ”

"See you tomorrow." Juan got up to send him back to the car, and in the face of the stunned expressions of the fans outside the hotel, Juan waved his hand very calmly and went in again, and the fans behind him let out loud sighs of disappointment.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Seeing Juan go and return, and taking the pen in the hands of the fans and starting to sign autographs, everyone began to get excited and cheered his name.

Jorge was already on his way to the airport, but his phone rang again, and as soon as the Portuguese agent looked down, he saw the name he least wanted to see, and he sighed, expecting the phone to hang up by himself It was impossible, after all, the brother on the other side was not forgiving.

"Miss Albert, I've already met him."

"What did he say?" The voice of the man on the other end of the line was cold and nice, with a Siberian cold, and if it weren't for the feminine softness in his voice, he would almost have thought he was calling Juan.

"He agreed." Jorge didn't dare to say much, he had dealt with the woman opposite many times before, and every time he was bored, even he was a little worried.

"I knew ......," the woman sighed, "and he liked to play with the big ones." ”

"In fact, in terms of Juan's current economic situation, no matter what kind of work he does in football, the basic nature is similar to playing." Jorge thought for a moment and carefully persuaded, "This is also a side hustle related to hobbies?" ”

"Forget it, let him be." The woman was helpless, and then cheered up, "I'm going to trouble you to take care of it later." ”

"Okay."

Juan signed his name for more than half an hour outside, and he almost couldn't lift his arm, but fortunately he didn't like to laugh very much, otherwise his mouth would have been stiff at this time, but thanks to him, the fans dispersed very satisfied, Juan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he went back to the room to wash, he found that his mobile phone had a lot of text messages and missed calls.

He checked the records with a questioning heart, and found that they were all sent by friends who had been in Spain before, all kinds of friends, all friends who had a good time when they were not in the same club before, and of course there were greetings from a few seniors, and the missed calls were basically Raul, Guti, and Cassie......

He flipped and flipped and stopped his hand.

There was an unfamiliar number in his unread text message, and when he clicked on it, it said, "Hello Dias, I'm Belleron, I asked for your phone number from Raul." I'm excited to hear you're coming to Laco next season, may the Lord bless you! ”

Oh, and another Juan, the terrible renaming rate in Europe and the United States.

Juan smiled helplessly, then lowered his head and began to type, although I don't know when Belleron knew the news, but it is always right to have a good relationship with the captain of the team.

After replying to his texts, Juan began to call Cassie - he was very conscious, Raul was with Morientes, Guti was with Redondo, and it was very likely that Cassie was not with anyone right now, and he was not interested in disturbing others.

"Juan!" Cassie's voice on the other end of the phone was a little excited, "It's Spain vs. Portugal, I'm so excited!" ”

After being silent for a while, Juan couldn't help but strike: "You're not playing again, what are you excited about." ”

"At least we can meet." There was a scramble for the phone on the other end of the phone, sounding like Raul and Morientes? In Cassie's feeble resistance, Raul took the phone with a smile and said, "We haven't seen each other for more than a season, don't you want me?" ”

A certain fox on the other end of the phone must have been smiling and flicking his big tail, Juan sighed helplessly: "Miss you...... But I have to say, if you lose this game again, you're going to go home. ”

"Not necessarily." Raul said slowly, "If you don't play, we can still play Portugal...... "Even if the situation in Spain is not very good now," besides, even if we draw this game, if Russia can take out Greece, we will still be second in the group." ”

"What if I play?" Juan sighed, and although it wasn't interesting to reveal the news about his side before the game, he couldn't help but give a reminder.

In any case, he did not want Spain to die at the hands of his own light enemy, after all, there were many friends he knew well.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Cassie's stumbling voice: "You're playing?" ”

"That's right." After a pause, the person on the phone laughed, "I didn't play for Russia, just so that I could greet you in the next game......"

He didn't have any guilt about revealing his appearance to the other party, anyway, no matter what, the other side couldn't do anything with him......

There seemed to be another noise on the other end of the phone, and then Juan heard a gentle and steady voice: "Dias? ”

"Bellero?" Juan had already heard the whisper of "two Juans" on the other end of the phone, and soon realized who Juan had changed to on the other side raised his eyebrows, "Please advise me more in the future." ”

"Well, a lot of advice." After saying this, Belleron returned the phone to Cassie, and listened to the voice and left, which also caused the person on the other end of the phone to mumble.

"This is the Belleron, isn't he usually the most biblical hug?"

"He specifically asked us to call and say that he wanted to contact you, just to say a word of advice?"

"Something feels like something is going to happen?"

Listening to the speculation of the three people on the phone, Juan couldn't help but smile: "It's a secret and a surprise, wait and see." ”
