Chapter 242: De Bruyne

Tom has to admit that this is a player who is hard to ignore!

Chelsea's Champions League-winning duo John Terry and Gary Cahill wanted nothing more than to play a relaxed futsal, but everything changed when there was one more man in the squad.

"Hey, come on! You have to run more aggressively and be in front of the ground to get my pass. Kevin De Bruyne complained to Mikel, "Let's all play a little bit better. Mikel couldn't believe that the kid who had just returned from loan at Genk could be so rude to him.

…………….

Renowned Dutch scout Wessel, who brought two great players to Europe, Romario and Ronaldo, is accompanying Tom on his tour in the stands, where he is currently at Chelsea.

Looking at the childish Kevin, the Blues scout said: "He's always like that, Kevin never thinks it's just a training session, he's always striving for perfection and he doesn't mind yelling at anyone to get there. If he sees an opportunity and the other players don't, the kid gets frustrated, he tells the other guys how to move, where is the right position, and he expresses his thoughts with his feet and his mouth. Wessel's tone was full of pride, "He's going to be one of the best players I've ever scouted." ”

"Well, yes, yes" Tom smiled perfunctorily, then deliberately showed his expression to the Chelsea scout, and when he turned his head, it was a different look, "I used to be a lawyer, and examining players is not my forte, it must be you who are more professional, not to mention that Kevin is still the Chelsea you brought him to." ”

Wesel was dressed in Chelsea blue overalls, his beard was a little gray, and his face was full of pride, "In short, Portsmouth is not going to lose money when considering Kevin on loan." ”

The situation is getting worse and worse for them, and Tom was accompanied by Frank, the chief scout of Pompey's legion, who said last night at the hotel, "At 22 years old, he already has great skills, I can see the shadow of a superstar in him, he is an attacking midfielder with excellent one-shot ability, finding gaps in the opposition defence is as easy for him as it is to eat and drink." ”

Tom asked, "How does it compare to Drinkwater?" ”

"There's no comparison."

Speaking of which, he had understood that it would have been easy if Portsmouth had only been planning to sign De Bruyne on loan, but unfortunately Tom was an ambitious man and he wanted to get the talent out of his way and bring him to Faton Park.

In the past two days at Chelsea, he realised that now must be the best time to take Kevin with him, the aging Blues have just won the brightest crown in Europe, and he has tasted Abou's long-cherished wish for many years, so how can the strong Chelsea come to a young position like Kevin De Bruyne?

Coupled with the fact that Chelsea's uniform is not all as good as Wesel, the Blues' scouting department is not optimistic about De Bruyne's talent, and they feel that the young man is not physically strong and fast enough to adapt to the high-intensity confrontation of the Premier League, so they have always ignored Weisel's strong recommendation.

It wasn't until Kevin's performances at Genk that he caught the attention of scouty clubs including Borussia Dort, Liverpool and others that Weisel's professionalism told him that he couldn't afford to drag it out anymore and that he had to take action, and he mustered up the courage to send a cassette of tapes to Chelsea's big boss Roman Abramovich. Abu is a real fan, a guy who not only wants to win but also wants to see beautiful football, and after watching the tape, Abu called the scouting team directly and told the scouting team, as if he had swallowed nearly 100 million in debt last year. ”

8 million euros in 5 years, and another player who is concerned by big bosses, just like Shevchenko back then, Torres now.

Tom thought of this relationship and said to Weisel, who was applauding Kevin, "Sir, you don't seem to have a good relationship with those people in the office. ”

The Dutchman's face changed, but he didn't particularly care, "It's just a bunch of ignorant guys." ”

"They're not ignorant," Tom grinned, "Scouts are always behind the manager, and Di Matteo seems to think that a 22-year-old can't get a foothold in the Champions League-winning team, and there are many people who hold this view, you see Kevin would not have been loaned back to Genk for half a season, and now he is listed on loan, do you think I'm right?" ”

He handed out cigarettes to Mr. Scout, Tom didn't have the self-control of Sensibilet, and I heard that the former Portsmouth director used to smoke cigarettes one after another, but no one at the club had ever seen him smoke. Tom not only smokes and drinks, but sometimes likes to visit the red light district, but his favorite is alcohol.

"It's hard to rent it out, and it's hard to get back here." Seeing that Weisel didn't want it, he nodded to himself, "Ferguson has been in charge of Manchester United for more than 20 years, and there are not tens of thousands of players on loan, but only a few dozen have returned to Manchester United, and the only ones who can play the main force are Beckham, O'Shea, etc., I can point it out with my fingers." ”

The Dutchman looked at Kevin De Bruyne, who was sweating at the training ground, and said: "Chelsea are optimistic about Kevin's talent, and he will only rent and not sell, whether it is the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 or even the Premier League, he will benefit greatly from the experience of a full season in the top five leagues." 'Wessel is clear, how can you be sure that De Bruyne won't be Beckham for Chelsea?

Tom laughed as if it were the funniest thing he had ever heard in his life, but when he put down his cigarette and turned to look at Wessel, there was no smile in his eyes, "De Bruyne is really young and pleasant, and if it were me, I would have taken great care of this young man." ”

"I'm going to do that. Who dares to use his brains against him-------- but I am so old, I am really not qualified to be Roman's pawn, and it is not good to pretend to be brave. "Wesel is indeed worthy of being the backbone of the Blues, in the face of Tom's non-existent threats and side knocks, I just didn't hear it, and his last sentence is a direct indication that I will play this set of bastards from Portsmouth, but Kevin is already a member of Chelsea, if you dare to touch a hair of him, you can try the consequences.

"I won't bother you" Tom glanced at Kevin, who had already scored three goals on the training ground, and put out the cigarette butt with his foot, "Sir, I just wanted to express Portsmouth's gratitude and let you know that we are grateful for the help provided by Chelsea, and you also know that Pompey has just arrived, alas, did you see the big man?" ”

"I'm old, but I'm not blind." On the other side of the training ground, Lukaku, who is as big as a buffalo, is leaping high to press a defender and head the ball into the goal, Wessel said.

"I heard that West Brom wanted to buy him," Tom said, "well, little monster, this is a better deal, and it is exactly the type that Portsmouth lacks!" ”

Weisel snorted coldly and walked away.

Tom fiddled thoughtfully with the ring on his index finger as he saw Chelsea's men leave, and Frank in the shade of a tree in the distance walked over, "I want to know how you plan to buy De Bruyne, Chelsea have rejected all transfer offers." ”

He put the ring on his finger, "When I figure it out, I'll tell you that stratagems are like fruits, they take time to mature." Now, I'm going to go out into the streets, get acquainted with the city of London, and then find a girl to have fun, and I've heard of Ward's place, and it's going well. ”
