Chapter 66 Bitter Mouth and High Guidance

Outside the window, the rain was still pouring down, and Adam sat in the living room, watching the rain hit the railing of the balcony.

Just under the railing, Gao Bo's boots were still covered in mud.

Alain Adam sat on the other side of the couch, he looked at his brother, then turned to look at the boots on the balcony.

After returning today, Adam did not shout to play a football game, but sat on the sofa in a daze. That's a rarity.

Alain scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

The phone rang, and Adam, who was in a daze, glanced at the caller ID.

Neil Jenkins!

It was his agent, Adam hesitated for a moment, and answered the phone.

"Adam!!" Neil Jenkins on the other end of the phone was quite excited, "Manchester City!! Do you know Manchester City!! The team in the Premier League, oh my God, they're really rich!! Did you know that Adam, Mark Hughes even called me personally!! ”

Speaking of which, the richest club of the year, the first image that comes to people's minds is no longer Chelsea, but Manchester City. Manchester City, which was bought by a Middle Eastern consortium, has unrivalled financial resources. They can buy all the stars they fancy and there's nothing stopping them from spending money in a generation without a Financial Fair Play Act.

In fact, without the introduction of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act, the traditional giants would have faced the challenge of a giant team cultivated by a dozen or so influxes of money from all over the world.

That's the case with Manchester City now, the Abu Dhabi consortium is waving cheques, and as long as there is a problem that can be solved with money, then it will never be a problem.

"Mark Hughes?!"

Adam was also a little surprised, but at the same time happy.

Mark Hughes is the head coach of Manchester City, and he really didn't expect Mark Hughes to call his agent in person!

"Of course!!" Neil Jenkins on the other end of the phone was quite excited, "I've already agreed with Mark Hughes that he will talk about you in the media tomorrow, and the media's attention will definitely be on you at that time!" Then we can put pressure on Luton to let you go in the winter window!! ”

"I haven't said I want to go to Manchester City yet!!" When it really came to an end, Adam was a little anxious!

"This is Manchester City!! Adam!! Neil on the other end of the line was unimpressed.

.........

'We are optimistic about acquiring Kaka, money is not an issue, but we are also very focused on developing young talent from England and we want to bring in Adam White, who has an impressive performance against Chelsea in the FA Cup......

Gao Bo looked at Mark Hughes's face on the TV screen, and his face was a little unhappy.

This must be the joint work of that agent and Manchester City.

The TV snapped off...

Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief in frustration, and he was already thinking about what his team would need to do to make additions if he lost Adam.

For now, the absence of Adam White has little impact on the team. Due to Adam White's physical limitations, Gao Bo has always used Adam as a substitute on the offensive end.

Gao Bo stood up and stretched, glanced at the dripping rainstorm outside the window, and turned to walk into the room.

......

"What about Manchester City!" Adam jerked to his feet.

"Mr. Neil Jenkins, you're just my agent!! You can't make decisions for me!! Adam hung up the phone.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier.

"Adam.—" Alain gestured to his boots on the balcony.

Under the rain, the mud on the surface of the boots has been washed away, and the black leather boots have revealed his true face.

"It's our boss's boots," Adam explained.

"Why did he let you take it back and brush it?"

"I don't know.... But there must be something deep! ”

"You're not going to Manchester City?"

"I don't know... But I think I'm at least going to have to get back into shape. After this phone call, Adam seemed to figure it out.

He rubbed the top of Alain's head and looked at the pair of sneakers that Alain was wearing at his feet that they had considered the greatest ideal half a year ago.

If it weren't for Gao Bo, he and Alain would probably still be living in the slums of London....

.......

The next day, Adam arrived at Gao Bo's office early and respectfully presented his cleaned boots.

Gao Bo's eyes softened, and he pointed to the chair next to his desk and motioned for Adam to sit down. Compared with dealing with the player's agent, Gao Bo is still better at communicating directly with the player.

"You're only seventeen, Adam." Gao Bo stood up and walked to the window.

"You know what's the most important thing for a seventeen-year-old?"

Adam shook his head.

"Yes, you can kick the ball, Adam. It's time for you to get on the pitch, you need to play, you need experience to play, you need to get the right guidance, you need to learn how to play. ”

Gao Bo turned his head and said.

'It's not impossible to go to a big club, but you have to know that when you go to the big teams, you say that the competition you face is unimaginable, and if you don't perform well, like you did in the last league game, you lose your place. Gao Bo held out his finger, "I'm not alarmist, Adam. I'm sure you're not ready to compete in the big clubs right now. There are many more areas where you need to improve. ”

Gao Bo's words were not deliberately said to intimidate Adam.

Adam has good technique at his feet and good ball sense, but he is inexperienced and not very adaptable on the field, he is not the kind of footballer who is naturally strong and talented, he is talented in some areas, but he is also flawed in some areas.

"You can't even finish a game!"

Gao Bo sat back in his seat.

"What do I need to do, boss." Adam stood up, with sincerity.

For Adam, he was playing football on the streets of the ghetto half a year ago, and now he is being touted by the media as England's talent. Such a transformation of identity made the seventeen-year-old a little confused.

"Of course the second division will not be your stage, but when you learn how to fight for the game, when you can play a good game completely, you can think about the higher stage." Gao Bo stretched out two fingers, "Before the age of twenty, you don't pay attention to things like transfers, what you need now is to return from the clouds to the ground, and be down-to-earth, just like when you first came to the trial, just like that pair of boots, use your feet to touch the ground, so that your growth will be solid." ”

Adam, an orphan who grew up in the slums with Alain, had never been able to speak to him in such a fatherly and brotherly tone, so little Adam was moved. In his eyes, Gao Bo replaced the image of his father in his heart...

He nodded effortlessly.

"I'll do my best, Coach!"

It wasn't until Adam walked out of the office that Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, this kid has been appeased...

To say how important Adam is as a player, it is really not necessarily in Gao Bo's heart. The loss of Adam actually had little impact on Luton. Adam is a very characteristic player, but his flaws are just as obvious, and for now, Adam is only suitable as a substitute when the team can't open up the situation. Losing Adam, it's a big deal to find a player with similar characteristics from somewhere else, anyway, he has cards in hand, and he can always make up for the team's loss of combat power. And the reason why Gao Bo is so concerned about this matter, but speaking of which, Adam can be regarded as one of the players that Gao Bo personally excavated.

Jamie Vardy and others were famous in Gobo's previous life, while the name Adam did not appear at the top of the game.

Therefore, being able to give a player who was originally unknown a chance to grow into a first-class star, Gao Bo's psychology is still full of a sense of achievement.

Sunlight is shining through the window.

The rain finally stopped.
