Chapter 139: Do You Want to Go to England?
Home of Atlético Paranaense, Estadio Mario Celso Petraglia.
Gao Bo sat in the stands and watched a match of Brazil's National Second Division. During the game, he saw Sandro who came off the bench in the second half.
Although Sandro still had a little immaturity on his face, Gao Bo still recognized him at a glance.
The eighteen-year-old Brazilian has dark skin, and according to his current information, his height is 176 cm, but Gao Bo seems to be at least 180 cm tall at the scene.
This is actually normal, the height data of eighteen-year-old players is always not so accurate, after all, they are still teenagers in the growth period, and their height changes all the time.
Truth be told, Sandro, who came off the bench, didn't show much quality at a future top left-back.
He even contributed a mistake on the defensive end, which was seized by the opponent and scored a goal.
If you don't know what Sandro has achieved in the future, just looking at his performance in the past 20 minutes can make people desperate to buy him.
After watching Sandro perform at the Mario Celso Petraglia Stadium, Gobo decided to go to the training ground the next day to observe again.
For Gao Bo, bringing in Sandro is actually a gamble.
Although Luton Town have a place in the Europa League next season, those defenders who are making a name for themselves will certainly not join Luton Town because of this, so Gao Bo can only go to some secondary leagues.
Just like Alex Sandro, who has not yet become popular, and his team is not a big team, so there are actually very few players to choose from.
And the reason why it is said to be a gamble is because Sandro does not have a passport from an EU country. And England's damn labor certification system has left him with the need to find a way to solve Alex's future difficulties in playing in the First Division.
When the time comes, if you have to apply for a labor certification, even if Luton uses the special genius clause, you may not be able to get by.
So Gao Bo wants to complete the transfer as soon as possible, and then let Sandro show his quality in the pre-match warm-up game, so as to impress the FA bureaucrats at the hearing of the labor permit.
And in addition to that, there is another way to apply for a Portuguese passport for Sandro.
That's where Mendes comes into play. Because Brazil was a former colony of Portugal, and the year before last, Portugal amended its immigration law, according to the current Portuguese law: "Portuguese descendants who "maintain normal ties with Portugal" can obtain Portuguese nationality. What do you mean by "maintaining normal ties with Portugal"? That's all there is to do. Brazilians can always have something to do with their home country, Portugal, and it is easier to apply for a Portuguese passport and have dual citizenship of Brazil and Portugal than people from other places. Not to mention Mendes' position in Portugal, it is only fitting that he should be asked to do this kind of thing.
Of course, there is a risk of failure in anything, and whether it is applying for an English labor certificate or a Portuguese passport, Gao Bo cannot guarantee 100% success. However, Gao Bo still decided that he couldn't let go of Sandro's potential stock.
Even if you can't register in the First Division, Luton Town can play in the Europa League next season, and Sandro can become the team's exclusive full-back in the Europa League.... Although this seems a bit extravagant. However, the First Division game is still much simpler than the Europa League, and it is not impossible to use the weaker Solo Davies at left-back, or let Hassan Alidai play in that position.
The first job before the season this season, Gao Bo first went to Brazil, he needs to get Sandro things done as soon as possible, and the best result is of course that Sandro can apply for a Portuguese passport.
From Sandro's training, Gao Bo still found a lot of his advantages.
The first is that he has a very solid foundation, and his future abilities have begun to mature day by day.
The eighteen-year-old is ready for the professional league – at least in League One.
There are also things that Gobo valued, in training, Sandro was very serious, and the Brazilian sloppiness was completely invisible to him, and he looked like a Puritan rather than a Catholic from Latin America.
After watching a training session, Gao Bo was relieved and decided to contact Sandro.
Gao Bo didn't know who Sandro's agent was, and he didn't even know if he had an agent.
So Gao Bo could only take a stupid way and fly directly to Brazil to interview Sandro himself.
.....
Gao Bo waited until the end of the training session, and the players came out of the training ground one after another.
Fans who have been waiting outside the training pitch for a long time flock to the club, and although it is only a Brazilian second division team, they also have a large number of fans in the local area.
The main players are the objects of fans, and the main players of those teams are surrounded by fans, signing autographs for fans with both hands, and fans who are lucky can also take a group photo.
Such a scene does not belong to Alex Sandro.
He's just a young player who has just been promoted from the academy to the first team, and if it weren't for the lack of defenders due to injuries some time ago, he would still be waiting for his chance in the academy.
Sandro tidied up his things, then picked up his backpack and walked through the crowd with his head down.
At this moment, the road ahead of him was blocked.
"Hello! Alex! ”
A hand reached out and reached out in front of Sandro.
.....
Gao Bo is a linguistic genius, and in addition to English, he is also quite proficient in Portuguese.
So when he greeted Sandro in fluent Portuguese at the door of the training base, Alex Sandro was stunned.
Sandro was surprised that a yellow-skinned and black-haired Oriental stopped him and acted very familiar.
"You called me? Mr? ”
From what Gao Bo was wearing and the aura he emanated, Sandro used honorifics.
Sandro stretched out his hand with some vigilance, and after a gentle shake with Gao Bo, he let go.
"Yes, Alex! I've watched you a few times. Good training today! ”
"Thank you!" Sandro nodded, keeping his distance, and he didn't have much trust in the strangers who suddenly came into contact with him.
He's just an average player who hasn't been given much of a chance to perform, and has only recently been promoted to the first team, and even playing as a regular at club seems a bit far away.
With such a player, who will be targeted?
"Keep training and performance like this, your future is limitless!"
Gao Bo said with a smile, his tone revealing an unmistakable taste.
A smile also appeared on Sandro's face, he is a naturally optimistic Brazilian, and in the face of praise, Sandro showed his Brazilian side.
"Of course!!"
Sandro said, straightening his back.
"So..."
Gobo looked at Sandro and asked, "Would you like to play in England, Alex?" ”
