The Chinese reporter had not seen the poor boy from Senegal since that evening, and when he heard that he had terminated his contract with the club, the manager of Metz did not put any obstacles in his way, but he did not know that Mane would go to a Championship team. This happens every day in the football world, some people come and some people leave, not to mention that most of the Academy in Metz are fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, and Mane, a seriously overage player, is really not suitable to stay here, and it is good for everyone to leave.

"Sadio, are you leaving?"

The lad said goodbye to his team-mates and the club's staff, but apart from handshaking and wishing good luck, most people here are not very familiar with Mane, which is why Hydward felt he was out of place with Metz. But there was still an old fellow frowning and blocking his way.

"Uncle Frank?"

It's a bit rude to call him an old fellow, obviously Mane knows him, Ward took the initiative to shake hands, he snorted coldly and shook his head in refusal.

"Where did you come from? Lyons? Monaco? Paris? Or a guy from abroad? "Apparently Frank took him as a spy brought in by some of the traditional giants of Ligue 1.

"No, he is—" Mane was interrupted just as he was about to speak.

"You deserve to stay here, you can succeed here, Mane, I bet you'll be the next African Footballer of the Year! Those big clubs will drown your talent, I can introduce you to some small clubs, take your time, little one, and show your tenacity in Casamance, no one can beat you! Frank's eyes were full of determination, and his speech was so contagious that Hydward was afraid that the baby bump that he had managed to get away with it would be abducted again.

"Old sir..."

"Shut up, who's your old gentleman." Frank blew his beard at Hydward and glared at him like an old hen guarding her calves.

"Coach, it's Uncle Frank who brought me from Senegal to France, and I'm a little angry that I'm leaving after less than three months," Mane whispered to Hydward.

"You have to endure loneliness, Mane I know you're fast, but I need you to be more well-rounded, your feet are well balanced and there are almost no weaknesses, but your shooting skills still need to be honed, since you can't pursue angles like Huntelaar, then you need to shoot a little faster, you can achieve the same effect! And your header, Mane is in good shape and good in bouncing, but you have to be precise in judging the landing point! Take it easy! With your level, I don't believe you can't kick it out, little one, your mother is looking at you, don't let her down. Frank knows almost everything about Mane's strengths and weaknesses, the African cheetah is nowhere near as mature as it was a few years later, and he's still a cub.

Sadio Mane is a player who has the ability to score quick goals when his side is strong, and he will either follow up with his team-mate's goal to get the icing on the cake, or open up the team's attacking situation and lead his team-mates' goals. It's an innate talent, and there's an old football adage that the time after a goal is often the most vulnerable. With Sadio Mane, it's the other way around, and the time after scoring means continuing to score goals one after another. This unique mental attribute is exactly what Hydward is looking for, and with a strong body, he is like a top maverick in the biathlon, and the fact is that the potential is 168 and the ability is 127, and a Championship is enough to deal with.

"I'll mention a few of Mane's pros and cons," Hydward interrupted Mr. Frank.

"This is an explosive player with speed and explosiveness, who dares to fight for every half of the ball, and often has a high success rate. Mane's back body skills are good, and his awareness of getting closer to his teammates is also very good, and his super high ability to hold the ball with the support of his back body skills can radiate the whole team. ”

"Of course, the physical fitness is top-notch, and the local small skills are slightly insufficient."

'I need to improve his performance when he fights for the second spot, England at all levels of the league emphasise the control of space outside the box, which is similar to France; Germany; Spain; Football in Italy is very different. Mane's ability to score in the box is what Mane needs to improve the most, as it will allow him to become more well-rounded. ”

Once again, Hydward took the initiative to extend his right hand and said: "Hydward, the manager of Portsmouth in the Championship, please don't doubt my professionalism, Mane can shine in my hands, I firmly believe that." ”

Frank was stunned, "The manager always likes to do something scouts do" He snorted again, said something inexplicable and turned away, and didn't say a word to Mane.

Hydward hesitated for two seconds before catching up, his instinct telling him that the old-looking guy was only about fifty years old, and that the guy named Frank was a pretty good scout. In keeping with the principle that thieves don't go empty, Hydward is ready to continue wielding his shovel and digging into Mace's corners.

……………………

"A lot of players have bottlenecks around the age of 20. They're discouraged at this age before they're in the first team and I've had moments like that in my own career. At the age of 21, I had spent enough time in Nuremberg, Germany, preparing the immigration materials to Canada, I felt that my dream was shattered, and I was doomed to achieve nothing by saying football every day. ”

Frank made a cup of coffee in his office and talked about the past and his views on young players.

"In any country, at any level of the professional league, there are people in those reserve teams who are facing similar difficulties at any time. The team is sending players out in the hope that he will come back stronger, but let's be honest, 80 percent of teams usually send him to a team that is a better fit for them, at least in the long run, and at least to continue his career. ”

"Look at these," Frank pulled out a photo album of him and his players, all over Europe.

Hydward also saw some familiar team logos, some of which were not in the top five league regions, such as River Plate in Argentina; São Paulo, Brazil, and many more.

'I'm very happy that I've helped 137 players get their football careers back together and Sadio Mane is one of them.

Hydward is not a particularly smooth sailor, especially in football, where things that are too easy to come by can mean all sorts of different things, as the sages of football have proven countless times.

"Mr. Frank, do you want to do anything with me?" Hydward finally asked what he had been trying to say.

Frank put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looking very literary, and he slowly raised a finger.

“1”

"My release fee is 10,000 euros, Mr. Hydward, and I still have a contract with Metz."

“。。。。”

Old Guy!!

Eventually, something will need to be done to get out of here, and on the second day in France, Portsmouth and Metz FC have reached an agreement for Mr. Frank's transfer for a fee of 10,000 euros, with youth team overage Mane adding to the deal.
