Chapter 153: Pele, the King of Balls

As Jiao Nan Attack heard, Zhao Chen did come to Brazil this time, after a long flight flight, when he arrived at his destination, he only felt that the jet lag had suddenly turned upside down, and his body felt a little unwell.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen still insists on exercising every day, and his body is stronger than before, and jet lag does not affect him much.

The town of Trescolasones, Brazil, like most Brazilian towns, is a poor and noisy small town.

"Mr. Zhao Chen, this is the town of Trescolasones, how do you feel?"

In the taxi, a middle-aged black man who seemed to have been dug out of a coal pit said to Zhao Chen in English, with a little flattery on his face, he was the local Brazilian translator that Zhao Chen had temporarily hired.

Brazil was formerly a Portuguese colony, and the language was mainly Portuguese, followed by English. For Brazil, whether it is in the past life or in this life, Zhao Chen is also the first time to come to this football kingdom.

Looking out of the dim window of the taxi, the streets were filled with pedestrians, some in ragged clothes, of all races, most of whom were black, white, and mixed-race; Occasionally, people of all ages skillfully kick football and speed on the sidewalk, dodging pedestrians one by one, looking at their almost all skilled dribbling, Zhao Chen can't help but sigh that this is worthy of being a football kingdom, no wonder football geniuses are always in an endless stream.

Brazil is a developing country, and Brazil in this era has not completely escaped poverty, there are countless slums everywhere, and those poor people who do not have much knowledge only know that only by playing football can they get ahead, so the football atmosphere in this country will become so hot.

Equally. In football, South America, where Brazil is located, has been able to compete with Europe and become the two centers of world football. However, with the sustainable development of the European economy, the status of South America is declining rapidly. If this continues, it will not be a few years before Europe will be able to squeeze South America out of the world football hub. Again, it won't be long before South America's economy continues to decline.

When Zhao Chen came here, he undoubtedly wanted to establish a comic branch in Brazil, after all, although Brazil is relatively poor, it now has a population of nearly 200 million, and it will be the seventh largest economy in the world in the future. With such a huge population base, even if only one percent of the people who buy comic publications, it is still a lot of money.

It's just that due to the relatively poor nature of Brazil, the security here is actually not good, not to mention all kinds of underworlds, just gangsters are everywhere.

So when Zhao Chen came here, the first thing he did was to find a local who was familiar with the shape shì to act as a translator. Not only that, but for the sake of his own safety, he temporarily hired several strong black bodyguards.

These black bodyguards are all invited from local bodyguard companies, they have more professional ethics, and the most important thing is that they are particularly capable of fighting, and Zhao Chen is also quite relieved about this.

"Very nice. If you compare the atmosphere, the football atmosphere here is stronger than in Europe! ”

"Of course, it's just that the economy in Europe is too good, otherwise football wouldn't be able to compete with South America. By the way, we're at our destination. That's it. ”

Looking in the direction pointed by the black interpreter, Zhao Chen couldn't help but be taken aback. He couldn't believe it, he didn't expect the football king Pele to still live in this kind of place, this is simply a slum, it is really unexpected enough!

"Isn't Pele the king of the ball? How did you live here? ”

Hearing Zhao Chen say this, the black translator shrugged his shoulders, made a helpless look, and said:

"Mr. Zhao Chen, it seems that I have to correct you, we do have a lot of football clubs here in Brazil, but the salary of the players is far inferior to that in Europe, even if it is Pele, the salary is actually not high! And Pele retired as early as four years ago, and he is usually more generous, so he will fall to the point where he is now in just a few years! ”

As the black translator said, the value of players in this era is quite low, even if Maradona breaks the transfer record next year, it is only five million dollars, and the salary of the players can be seen, and the top players are hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is still the price of the top players in Europe. As for poor South America, it is undoubtedly much lower, and the same level of players is not even half that of Europe. This is also why Platini was still playing football and thought about the back road, it is really a player who eats the rice of youth, and once he retires, he almost loses his source of money, especially in the era before the Boseman Act was introduced.

The football king Pele is quite strong in terms of strength and prestige, but even in the past, his salary was much lower than that of Platini now, which is mainly due to the economic system of South America.

Generally speaking, in this era, most of the players who play in South America are semi-professional players, and in addition to playing football, many have to do odd jobs to support their families.

Yes, don't look at Pele's three World Cup wins that year, it looks very majestic, but the salary he has earned from playing football for so many years is not much, and the players are often more generous, that salary was quickly squandered in just a few years, and Pele had to return to the slum where he used to live.

Of course, Pele's poverty is only temporary, and according to history, it will soon pass by Juan, the future world's number one agent? With Figer's hype, Pele will also be lifted out of poverty again, but will also gain popularity in the world, and the term "king of the ball" will really be famous.

"I see, let's go down!"

Zhao Chen nodded, his face became calm again, but what surprised him was that in addition to the taxi he was in, there was also a small car made in Brazil in front of Pele's house.

This car is not luxurious, Zhao Chen can't recognize its brand, and it is not expensive, which also deduces the value of the owner of the car.

"This car belongs to Bailey?"

"No way, Bailey is so poor, where can he still raise a car, not to mention that this is a slum, if you stay here for too long, you may be smashed."

The black translator shook his head, with a look of disbelief, he was well aware of the level of security in the slums, which could no longer be described as poor.

"Oh, it looks like Bailey's family has a guest here, and it's a coincidence!"

Bailey is not his name, but his nickname, and his name is actually Edson? Arantes? Many? Nascimento, who has led the Brazilian national team to win the World Cup three times, is why the football atmosphere in Brazil is really strong, and it has won the title of the football kingdom in recent years. And last year, more than 2o media reporters in Europe and the United States rated Pele as one of the most outstanding athletes of the 2O century, which shows his strength and fame.

However, these are just a passing moment, and the current Bailey has no 'job' and is now living a poor life. Zhao Chen also wanted to rely on this reason, and wanted to rely on Bailey's huge fame to let Tianxiashe take root in Brazil.

It's just that even so, Zhao Chen is still a little worried in his heart, after all, the security in Brazil in this era is very poor, robbery and theft can be seen everywhere, and the most feared thing is undoubtedly the local underworld, Bailey is famous, but it is really difficult to compliment people in terms of connections, otherwise he would not live in the slums now.

Knock knock!

"Who!" A thick Portuguese sounded, of course, this was in Zhao Chen's ears, and he couldn't understand it at all.

The door was opened by a middle-aged black man of medium stature, wearing stained clothes and a head covered in dust.

Zhao Chen carefully looked at the middle-aged black man in front of him, but in his eyes, the appearance of the black man was almost carved out of a mold, which was difficult to distinguish. However, he still recognized that the one in front of him was Pele, the football king who was later called the crow's mouth by the media.

"Bailey, this Mr. Zhao Chen has come to you this time!" The black translator obviously knew Bailey, and pointed to Zhao Chen on the side and said.

"Ah, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you! Come in, a few people! Bailey looked at Zhao Chen, and when he saw Zhao Chen's outfit, he knew that the person in front of him should be either rich or expensive, and the most important thing was that there were several strong bodyguards standing behind him.

"Excuse me!"

This is a relatively narrow room, only about thirty square meters, and Zhao Chen and the others suddenly became crowded after they came in. Except for Bailey and his wife Marcia? In addition to Aiko, there is also a sturdy old man who is about fifty or sixty years old, and there is a faint sense of familiarity.
