The introduction of the general manager and head coach of the team by President Pompiro himself was indeed something that Santilgo did not expect before, and Ischea's enthusiastic attitude towards himself also made Santiago's mood brighter, although this does not mean that Santiago's future in Boca will be smooth, but at least it is a good start.

In the next half hour of conversation, the two sides agreed on some simple issues and exchanged ideas with each other, which should have been negotiated between the agent and the club, but considering that there was no new agent for Santhiago at this time, they could only talk to him directly. It was a real face-to-face conversation that gave Santilago a clear idea of what Boca Juniors expected of him.

For a South American club like Boca Juniors, it has to play in a season, in addition to the spring and autumn league of the La Liga, as well as the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana, and if possible, the Club World Cup, so the schedule is also very full. As an ambitious club, Boca can excel on all fronts, and Santhiago has shown a lot of quality before leaving Boca and in his first season at AC Milan.

During this conversation, President Pompiro made it very clear that Boca Juniors would give him enough opportunities to help him regain his form and return to the national team and even the European stage, but he wanted the process to be quicker and did not want Santilgo to bring the bad habits of the past to the young players of today, after all, they are the future of Boca Juniors.

There was no surprise to hear this Santiago, returning to Boca is to find his best form, and it is almost impossible to start over when a big club like AC Milan has already disappointed him, so he can only choose to transfer. In contrast, there are teams and league styles that he is familiar with, clubs and fans who trust him, and more importantly, there are always enough playing opportunities to not only help him regain his form, but also allow him to be re-selected for the Argentine national team.

But in the end, Saint-Tiago, who was a little embarrassed, still couldn't help but say in his heart, isn't he a young player?

After a satisfactory conversation between both parties, manager Bianchi walked out of the president's office with San Tiago, while coach Ischea stayed and seemed to have something important to do.

Walking on the corridor covered with Boca youth honors and historical photos, Bianchi looked at his watch and spoke to Santtiago: "Santtiago, remember just now I wanted to ask you to do me a favor?" ”

Sure enough, it came! Just kidding, the club boss commanded, how dare I, the little brother who rejoined, forget!?

"Of course, Mr. Bianchi, I will do my best!" Although he didn't know what it was to help, Santiago immediately patted his chest without saying a word, and he understood that as long as Bianchi didn't get into the water in his brain, he should be able to help himself.

Sure enough, Bianchi smiled and waved his hand and said, "No, no, Saintie, you don't mind if I call you that!" ”

"Of course, sir, you are like my mentor, and my first memory of Boca is when you led the team to win the Copa Libertadores, and I never dreamed that one day I would be able to talk to you like this!"

The full Argentine name of San Thiago is Diego. Santiago. Garcia. Néstor, where Garcia is his patronymic surname, Néstor is his mother, and Diego is his Christian name, hence the fact that people call him Santiago, and those close to him, such as Riquelme, also call him Santi.

"Haha, Santi, I have to say that you were a young, taciturn lad when you first entered the second team of Boca, and now? I've heard Romy call you Cannon St. Di! Haha, it looks like you've learned a lot in Milan! Bianchi teased Santiago, a professional, causing Santiago to roll his eyes constantly, when did this Riquelme's mouth become so big?

"Alright, Santy, it's nothing! I was like you when I was younger, but I want you to be responsible for your career and your talent now! Let's get down to business, it's simple for me to ask you to help me, see those kids? The two walked out of the office building to the side of the training ground, and Bianchi pointed to a group of children on the edge of the field and said:

"Their coach was in a hurry and couldn't be there today, and most of the club's staff were on vacation, so I couldn't find a good person to lead these kids through the two-hour training session with the ball, after all, you can't expect me to be on it myself! I don't want to fall apart! ”

Bianchi shrugged his shoulders rather wistfully, the implication of which was very obvious.

In South America, youth coaches are usually part-time rather than full-time, and they are able to work after being assessed by various clubs, and these part-time youth coaches are not paid much a month, and they do not occupy much time per day. Today's two-hour theoretical class, tomorrow's two-hour ball training, even the club's staff and service staff can often apply what they have learned to become youth coaches, but only if they pass the club's more rigorous assessment.

Each club also has a head youth coach, who is full-time, who will develop all the youth development plans, and the club also has several full-time youth directors, who are responsible for overseeing the training execution of each coach. They will meet before and after the training to show what they are going to do today and the purpose of doing so, and after the training they have to reflect how they have done today, how well they have worked, whether they need to make adjustments, etc.

Therefore, under such a youth system, it is possible to ensure that every player can get enough attention, but it is very rare for a trainer to be in a hurry and the staff is not available, and it may be a good choice to have a midfielder with a relationship with the club and experience playing for one of Europe's top clubs.

"Oh, that's a very important thing indeed! When I was in the echelon, training with the ball was the course I was looking forward to the most! But, sir, what should I teach them? "When Santhiago heard Bianchi's words, he immediately realized the importance of this matter, and for any football club, youth training is a top priority, especially an Argentine club like Boca.

Although in people's minds Boca Juniors as a South American giant should be how good and powerful, but now the pattern of world football has long been set and cannot be changed, the South American league, as the world's major leagues in the first league, can be said to be an important area for the five top leagues to export fresh blood. Eighty per cent of the players here have dreams of playing in Europe, and although every South American club does not want to see the constant departure of talent, this is unavoidable.

In this environment, although various transfer transactions emerge in an endless stream, what South American clubs pay more attention to and rely on for a living is youth training, which is the basis for a South American club to really survive. This can be seen from Riquelme's return of 15 million euros, breaking the record for an Argentine club to pay a player's transfer fee, so after understanding the importance of the matter, Santhiago immediately agreed without the slightest consideration.

However, he was a little apprehensive after agreeing, if he didn't teach well, then the extremely irresponsible performance of these young players might even affect their future football career.

Bianchi was well aware of Saint-Tiago's concerns, and he nodded approvingly and said: "I understand your concerns, Saintie, but you don't have to train according to the plan you have made in this class, you can teach this group of hungry children your experience and strengths, and even tell them what you have seen and heard in world football, which will be of great help to their future development, which is a rare advantage for other youth coaches."

You don't have to worry about missing lessons, I'll take the time for the trainers to help these kids make up for it! Go, Santi, the children have been waiting for a long time! ”

Looking at the group of children waiting for their youth coaches on the sidelines of the training ground, looking at the football eagerness, Santhiago couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart, which reminded him of a hobby that he was not recognized by his parents. How lucky these children are compared to themselves! Hearing Bianchi's words, Santiago, who sighed in his heart, had no worries at all, he nodded and smiled and straightened his clothes and walked towards the group of children around 14 years old.

The 14-year-old is arguably facing a watershed moment in his football career, with the 14-year-old Academy players at Boca Juniors already participating in the official Argentine leagues, and it is no surprise that this year the best of them will sign their first contract and start receiving the salary paid by the club. On the way to the group of teenagers, an academy manager, at the behest of Bianchi, briefly described the situation of the group to Santhiago, who were likely to be the best of the bunch.

When the youth manager handed him the list and left, Santiago walked up to the group of teenagers and coughed lightly to draw all his attention to himself, cleared his throat and said with a gentle smile: "Gentlemen, I am the coach of your class, my name is Santiago, you can call me Mr. Coach or the leader." ”
