Chapter Seventy-Three: Professional Football Agent
Although it is said that he has to practice physical strength, but a winter break is only ten days, no matter how hard Ke Yan works, it is impossible for his physical strength to rise to the level where he can support most of the game at once, so even if Dani basically watched Ke Yan train during this winter break, but in his game plan, Ke Yan was still put on the bench.
"Well, I'm not going home, the time is tight, and I have to step up training here, so I can't go home for the time being." Ke Yan said into the phone, "When this season is over and there are almost three months of vacation, I will go home then." ”
Thinking that today is a few days of celebration of Christmas and New Year's Day, and Portugal is as lively as the Chinese New Year, Ke Yan can't help but feel a little homesick, and while he finished a day's training, Ke Yan called his grandfather.
He didn't dare to call for too long, after all, he was getting a few salaries now, and he didn't have much money, and in China, if there was his own family to call the elderly, the phone bill would also be paid by himself, so Ke Yan didn't dare to make international calls for too long.
Hanging up the phone, Ke Yan thought about it, and still called Feng Yulin as well.
Although when they confirmed their relationship, it was the day before Ke Yan went abroad, the two of them were less together and more separated, and they had been in a state of foreign love, Ke Yan was usually very busy with training, and he didn't have much time to call Feng Yulin, so he should call her occasionally, after all, Feng Yulin was also very hard in China, even if he wanted his own arms, he couldn't give it to her.
"Hey" Feng Yulin's voice came over the phone, sounding a little lazy.
"It's me," Ke Yan said with some caution, "Are you sleeping?" ”
"Eun studied too late last night, so I slept a little long this morning." Feng Yulin was a little hesitant, "Why do you have time to call me today?" ”
"It's Christmas today, and I'm still on the winter break, so there's nothing to do." Ke Yan said, "On such a big day here, even if I want to train, the staff at the training base are not there. ”
"Well, how about over there now?" Feng Yulin asked, "Can you play in the game?" ”
'Last time I came off the bench for 30 minutes and it felt okay and scored two goals. Ke Yan said to Feng Yulin with some pride, after all, he and Feng Yulin were also together because of football, and every time he talked about his achievements on the field, Ke Yan would be a little proud in front of her.
"That's good," Feng Yulin said.
Ke Yan was stunned, Feng Yulin didn't boast about herself or anything, so she didn't say anything.
It may be that she still wants to sleep before she wakes up, Ke Yan hurriedly said: "If you still want to sleep, go and sleep for a while, but don't sleep too late, it's more than ten o'clock in China now." ”
"Well, I'll sleep a little longer." Feng Yulin said and hung up the phone.
Ke Yan looked at his mobile phone and shook his head, domestic high school students are really still a little hard, they have to study until midnight to sleep every day, and they have to get up to school before dawn the next day, although Ke Yan trains very hard every day, but at least the work and rest time is more scientific, Ke Yan is still quite considerate of Feng Yulin.
Putting away his mobile phone, Ke Yan stood on the square in front of the Cathedral of Porto, looking at the majestic building, and suddenly felt a sense of peace in his heart.
Every time he runs to the door of the cathedral in the morning, he immediately turns back, and every time he has something on his mind, Ke Yan will also find comfort here, as long as he stands in front of the cathedral, he feels that his heart is full of peace and tranquility, and any troubles will be thrown away by himself.
Taking his own steps, Ke Yan entered this solemn church for the first time.
Because it is Christmas, there are a lot of people who come to the church, most of them are Porto devotees, as well as some tourists from other countries.
Walking into the cathedral, Ke Yan found that the interior of the cathedral was really luxurious.
The layout, which he had never seen before, kept him looking around the church.
Inside the church, many worshippers were singing praises, and Ke Yan's Portuguese was still able to support everyday conversations, and he could not understand such complex and cumbersome religious terms.
"Friends? Believers? ”
At this moment, a person next to Ke Yan suddenly asked Ke Yan.
Ke Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the man in front of him, he looked to be in his thirties, and his face exuded an air of confidence.
"I'm sorry I'm not," Ke Yan said with some embarrassment, he was not a believer, but he walked into this cathedral, and he didn't look like a tourist.
"I knew I wasn't hahaha." The man chuckled quietly, "Why did you come in?" ”
"No," Ke Yan said, "I just want to come in, I think it's peaceful." ”
"Me too," the man said as he held out his right hand to Ke Yan, "Donald, a British-born tourist living in Spain. ”
Ke Yan was stunned, but he still stretched out his right hand and shook it with the man and said, "Ke Yan, Chinese, play football here." ”
After hearing Ke Yan's self-introduction, the man named Donald was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then said to Ke Yan: "Can we go out and talk in detail?" ”
Ke Yan nodded, and Donald walked out of the church.
"You say you're playing here?" Donald smiled and said to Ke Yan, "But how come I've never heard of your name?" You shouldn't be from Porto, right? ”
"No, I should say I'm not from the Porto first team." "I'm a backup centre-forward for Porto B. ”
"I see, I said how I had never heard of your name." Donald thought for a moment, "But it's a great thing for a Chinese player to play in Porto B." ”
"Well, probably." Ke Yan smiled, "I've only been training here for less than a year, and now I'm still a substitute, so I can't make my debut." ”
"But it's pretty good." "I've been in contact with so many players, it's rare to see a young Chinese player training in Europe. ”
"Do you have a football-related career? Or "Ke Yan was a little curious, and the man in front of him said that he had been in contact with a lot of players, and it seemed that he should be engaged in a football-related career.
"Yes, my profession is a professional football agent." Donald said, "I'm basically doing some trading between young players, and the players under me are basically players between the ages of 16~22. ”
Professional football agent?
This profession sounds like it's quite lofty.
