049 Two choices

While Van der Heer was in the hotel helping Tang and several other players make phone calls to European clubs, Tang and his group were casually shopping at a shopping complex in Mexico City.

Except for Tang Hong and Sun Rou, everyone else will return to China first, and come to shop to buy some souvenirs for relatives and friends.

In order to satisfy their shopping desires, Tang Hong first gave each of them 10,000 US dollars, which was enough for them to squander in this shopping mall.

Sun Rou is not a girl who particularly likes to shop, but she likes to go shopping, especially interested in delicate gadgets, in Tianhai her bedroom is full of delicate small pendants or ornaments, most of which are handmade, which will make people have a dazzling visual sense.

Tang Hong followed her, and when she walked into a boutique, he would also go in, but he was not interested in most of the goods, just making sure that Sun Rou was not in trouble.

At least the two of them have English proficiency to ensure that they have no problem shopping and communication.

Van der Sheer was so busy in the hotel that he couldn't even take a sip of water, in addition to helping Tang Hong contact European teams, Zhao Hanchun, Qin Rui, and Luo Hongkai also got trial invitations from some European teams.

Van der Hill wants to make sure the offers are not a waste of time, given that the Chinese players themselves can join a European side for zero transfer fees.

If you consider the potential commercial value of the players, many European teams would be happy to make such a deal.

The so-called commercial value of a player is based on ability, and it is also related to the club's own commercial resources.

Just like when Dong Fangzhuo joined Manchester United, he did not play a few games for Manchester United before he left Manchester United, but the commercial return that Manchester United earned from him was at least ten times the transfer fee and salary cost combined!

Because Manchester United has huge commercial resources, but they have expanded their commercial resources in the Far East, signed sponsorship contracts, and proudly claimed to sponsors in Manchester that they have the largest fan base in China, which is part of their confidence to ask sponsors for higher contract offers.

In the 2005 World Youth Championships, the Chinese national youth team, known as the super platinum generation, was favored by European teams after the event, including the olive branches thrown by the teams of the five major leagues.

But in the end, there are almost no players who go out, for many reasons, some of them lack the spirit of adventure, and they have a comfortable big contract in China, so there is no need to go to a foreign country, it is undeniable that not everyone treats football like a dream and expects to be closer to the peak every day, and there are also domestic clubs who obstruct and ask for sky-high transfer fees and eventually transfer to the bottom.

European clubs with a little strength also expect to introduce Chinese players to scratch the lottery, and the competitive rate of return is not too high, no matter how good it is, unless it is really a shocking genius, but the commercial return is much higher than that of players from Africa, North America, and South America!

Chinese capital has expanded its territory in Europe, and the Chinese market is a must for the majority of sponsors, and it is normal for commercial factors to affect the club's business ideas.

It's just that this kind of scratching lottery ticket naturally can't be spent a lot of money, and if you lose, you can cry blind and be covered with water.

Therefore, the performance of the Chinese team in this World Junior Championship has made many European clubs ready to move.

As long as you carefully watch the games of the Chinese team, you can basically see which players have potential, have room for improvement, and the existing strength is not bad.

Tang Hong's winning the Golden Ball Award at the World Junior Championships will not make all his teammates ascend to heaven, outstanding in ability, who should be a good player.

If world football is regarded as a pyramid of wealth, influence, competitive level and other factors, then European football is undoubtedly the upper area of the pyramid, and the spire is the European giants.

Players are an important part of the club's composition and can directly affect the club's position in this pyramid.

In European football, the giants will plunder elite players, the first-tier clubs can only pick the giants that they don't want, and the civilian teams below are composed of countless grassroots players, and they are also playing the role of an incubator for elite players.

Whether it's a first-tier club or a giant, they can't always expect to train a player from the youth team to the first team to become the main player, even if they are doing such a thing, but it is only a big wave, and in the end there are still very few players who can really carry the club's youth genes and become the unshakable main role of the first team.

Two years ago, Pep Guardiola's main squad was made up of his own academy players, which is already very remarkable, but there are still half, Henry, Eto'o, Yaya Toure, and Silvinho, they are not players cultivated by Barcelona themselves.

If the background analysis of the players is extended to the substitute line-up, then the proportion of academy players in the team will decrease.

The giants will snatch the stars cultivated by the first-tier clubs, and the first-tier clubs will recruit the elites of the civilian teams, which is also an interlocking system.

Different teams need to recruit according to their own competitiveness and record, in other words, with the performance of the Chinese national junior team in this World Youth Championship, even if they land in Europe, the starting point will not be high, because they have not really experienced the baptism of the professional arena, and will not enter the sight of first-line clubs and giant clubs.

Therefore, no English team is interested in Tang Hong, on the one hand, it is the trouble of labor certification, and on the other hand, it is also the high-intensity threshold of the English league in terms of physical confrontation.

As for the Spanish team, due to the limitation of foreign players, it is almost impossible for any team to give a foreign player on the front line to a Chinese player who is about to turn 18 years old.

This is especially true in Italy, where only one non-European player can be brought in each year, and it is impossible to waste it on a player with no professional experience.

The German team also has the consideration of foreign aid quotas, but France does not pay low attention to Tang Hong because of the relaxed restrictions on foreign aid.

Van der Heer was busy from morning till night, starting at 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. due to the time difference with Europe, and then stopping work at night on the European side.

When Tang Hong and his entourage returned to the hotel in the evening, Van der Heer called Tang Hong, Qin Rui, Luo Hongkai, and Zhao Hanchun to his room.

Van der Sheer, who was tired, said straight to the point: "Zhao Hanchun, I have contacted two Dutch second division teams for you, and after the trial invitation letter is sent, you can go back to go through the formalities of going abroad."

Qin Rui, the Cottages club in the German second division wants you to go on a tryout, I think this is a good opportunity, there are Chinese players who have played in that club before, although it is not ruled out that they want to continue to maintain the support of the Chinese fans in Germany, but I have communicated with their manager, he appreciates you, if you do well in the trial, he will give you the opportunity to adapt to the professional arena as soon as possible.

Luo Hongkai, the Spanish second division team Celta expects you to join them, because they are now lacking in midfielders, if you decide to go, then I have only one suggestion for you, the skills of Spanish players are the top in Europe as a whole, so if you want to show difference, then you must have a broader view and vision, and at the same time you have to work harder than those Spanish players who play with technology, like a beast with wisdom, this is the foundation of your foothold in the Spanish league, never forget this, If you're just competing in skill, you'll have a hard time winning applause! ”

Zhao Hanchun, Qin Rui, and Luo Hongkai nodded heavily, they attached great importance to these opportunities, and at the same time looked at Tang Hong suspiciously, where would he go?

"You three go first, feel free to come to me if you have any questions."

The three of them left, and there was no consideration for them whether they wanted to go or not, and if they didn't go, they might never have a chance!

Tang Hong stayed, and Van der Sheer frowned and said to him: "Your situation is a bit complicated, although you are the person who received the most trial invitations, but after I have communicated and reasonable doubts and ruled out some clubs, there are not many options left.

Too many clubs just want you to join their youth team, and I don't deny that you can still do well if you go to the youth team, but the youth team is not under the nose of the first team manager after all, and at the same time wants to get a chance, the order is too low, and only give the youth team players a chance when the first team is unavailable.

There are also clubs that just want to earn the attention of Chinese fans, that is, commercial value, from you, and they will package you as a star to hype, but they will not give you many substantial opportunities, and you will be like a mascot who can make a fortune in the team.

There are two teams left to choose from, and I think there are two teams that are more suitable for you, one is Monlibier in Ligue 1, they finished 14th in Ligue 1 last season, and the reason why they are interested in you is very simple, first, they can't afford to buy good strikers, and second, they scored the second lowest goal in Ligue 1 last season among the 20 teams in Ligue 1, scoring only 32 goals in 38 games, and relegated Lens has three more goals than them.

You are a no-brainer gamble on their desire to strengthen their attack in the new season, and if they lose, they can give up on you, don't spend money anyway, win, they have a big harvest, competitive rewards, your secondary transfer income, etc.

That's a bit of a long way to say.

The other club is Braga in the Portuguese Premier League, and in the past ten years, the Portuguese big three, Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Benfica have the most consistent results, and the closest to the big three is Braga.

They finished fourth in the league last season, runners-up the previous season, were eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League last season, and moved to the Europa League final to face Porto, where they were defeated in the Portuguese civil war.

Their recruitment for the new season is almost complete, in addition to trying to qualify for the top two Champions League in the league, they will continue to play in the Europa League.

So the choice in front of you is actually quite simple.

At Monlipigier, you will most likely become a striker with playing time in the team, and as long as you can perform within a month, you will basically be in the main force.

Go to Braga, the competition in the team is fierce, you have to wait for the opportunity, when the opportunity arises, you grasp it, you also need to work hard to grasp the next opportunity, only when you continue to seize the opportunity to fully prove your ability and value, you will become the main force, because Braga's record is very stressful!

If you go to France, it's easier to start with, and if you go to Portugal, I can't say it's a gamble, but it's kind of like that, because if Braga has a new season with a lot of momentum and goals up front, you won't have any chances!

As for how to choose, I think you need to think about it, it's the middle of July and a better place to go may not come because most of the teams have already completed or are about to complete the signings, and they are on the way to negotiations. ”

Tang Hong smiled after listening carefully, and said heartily to Van der Heer: "You have a good rest, it's really hard, thank you, I will think about it and give you an answer tomorrow morning." ”
