"Bang... Bang... Bang! Suppressing a hint of uneasiness, Santhiago walked outside the chairman's office and carefully arranged his collar before knocking on the door.

"Please come in! Let me guess, it must be you back in Santiago! Ha! The moment he stepped into the office, Santhiago looked in the direction from which the gentle voice came from, and a kind old man with gray hair was sitting at a large desk, smiling kindly.

On the wall behind him hangs the iconic Boca Juniors crest, the shape of which has not changed since the 70s, with a star added to the crest every time a team wins a trophy since the 70s, with the local championship above the team's abbreviation and the international championship below. With one or two simple documents on the desk of the kind old man, he seemed to have a very quiet life, and those who knew the president well knew that there was no mountain of business in his hands, and that he always put Boca affairs first in his life.

"Dear Mr. President, you always seem to be so passionate, just like your always burning affection for Boca, which I really benefit!" Santiago bowed slightly and replied with a smile that no matter what the outside world said, he had only infinite respect for Pedro Pompiro, the current president of Boca Juniors.

Because if former President Macri saw Boca as a tool and box for him to enter the political arena, then Pompiro regarded Boca as his child.

"Santiago! You're still the same, as likable as you were when you left! But don't be too busy praising me, for you will probably get bored with me for the rest of the day, and you will say, "Look at that bad old man, who is pointing fingers every day!" Hahaha......" President Pompiro said with a smile squinting his eyes, and for a pure boca like him, the return of Santiago was something he would love to see.

During his tenure so far, the introduction of Riquelme at great expense, the highest transfer fee paid by an Argentine club, and the transformation of the Boca club's home stadium to allow more Boca fans to attend the game have been praised by the media and fans. Of course, don't look at him as kind and kind, in fact, his starting point is all for the good of Boca Juniors, and sometimes even in the eyes of people is a little utilitarian.

For example, when Riquelme, who is not good-tempered, has a conflict with his teammates or even causes internal conflicts, Pompiro will always side with Riquelme, because he knows that Riquelme will bring more glory to the club, and this approach will seem biased in many cases, which is why he is often criticized by the media.

Hearing Pompiro's joke, Santhiago touched his nose a little embarrassed, because this sentence was what he often complained to his teammates when he was in Boca before, in his opinion, how can a big man like the vice president be mixed with high society and celebrities, but this legendary vice president of Pompiro, who has done a lot of business, came to the club early every day and left very late, and often stood on the sidelines to watch the training and called the head coaches of the echelon teams at all levels from time to time to chat. It put a lot of pressure on the second team players such as Sant Tiago at that time.

Seeing Santiago's deflated appearance, Pompiro smiled again, but he didn't dwell too much on this aspect and pointed to the two people sitting on the side and introduced Santiago: "Santiago, you should be no stranger to this gentleman, now Bianchi is the general manager of our Boca Juniors, about your next transfer matters and contract issues Mr. Bianchi will negotiate with you in detail, you may feel a little tired and headache today, but I still congratulate you on getting rid of that greedy vampire agent." ”

From the second moment he walked into the president's office, Santilago had already seen the two people sitting next to him who were looking at him carefully, and he only knew one of them, Carlos Bianchi, the meritorious coach of Boca Juniors.

Bianchi was a great striker as a player, he was an absolute top striker in both the Liga and Ligue 1, especially in his first four seasons at Ligue 1 club Reims, where he scored 107 goals in 124 appearances, and then moved to French upstart Paris Saint-Germain in his first season to conquer Parisian fans with 37 goals in 38 appearances.

After retiring from football, Bianchi's coaching career is even more talked-about, leading Sarsfield, who are not among the giants of the La Liga, to win the league runner-up, and that season won the Copa Libertadores, the highest honor of South American clubs, and defeated European league leaders AC Milan 2-0 to win the Toyota Cup (Club World Cup).

After a short spell in Rome, he was criticized, but on his return to South America Bianchi proved himself once again, winning the spring and autumn leagues with Boca in 1998/99 and 2000/01, the Copa Libertadores in 2000 and the Toyota Cup in 2000. He then made a comeback after a year off in '03, beating Brazil's Santos twice in the Copa Libertadores final and leading Boca to the Copa Libertadores final three times in four years, both of which he successfully reached.

It can be said that Bianchi is the godfather of Boca Juniors who reached the top of South America and created that dynasty, and a well-deserved big man. And now, although he is not at the helm again, his influence is definitely more than that of previous managers after him, which can be called a combination of life and death, and it is worth mentioning... Bianchi's attitude towards the return of Santhiago is inexplicable, which is why Santhiago is uneasy.

After all, even if the two presidents like themselves, Bianchi's attitude is the key factor that can really affect his stay, and usually the club president will not disagree with his general manager, not to mention that Santhiago is self-aware that he is not Riquelme.

"Mr. Bianchi, it's a pleasure to meet you again!" After President Pompiro's words fell, Santiago turned to Bianchi and said without humility or arrogance. There were many reasons that made Santhiago decide to return to Boca Juniors, sometimes his life as a drunken fan also felt a little unreal, and his poor performance on the field made him unbelievable, so after much thought, he finally chose to return to Boca Juniors to find himself.

Of course, wanting to come back doesn't mean that he is willing to put a hot face on his ass, and if Boca Juniors does not use him because of Santiago's notoriety, then Santiago will naturally turn away.

"Santiago, you look good, and I hope we can get along well in the next few days so that we can both get a satisfactory result." I have to say that Bianchi's words made Saint-Tiago breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but Bianchi's next sentence made him stunned: "But Saint-Tiago, maybe I need you to do me a small favor later, no, it should be a small favor for Boca Juniors." ”

After saying this, seeing Saint-Tiago's puzzled look, Bianchi smiled and patted Saint-Tiago's shoulder: "You can rest assured, Saint-Tiago, this is not a difficult matter, I'll tell you later!" ”

"Of course, sir, I'd be happy to do my part for Boca!" Santhiago wondered if he was looking for a small favor for himself, or for Boca Juniors? What could it be? However, at this time, he could only temporarily suppress his doubts in his heart, because if he was not mistaken, the middle-aged man beside Bianchi was......

"Santiago, this is Mr. Ischea! A manager we trust and, if nothing else, your future manager! Seeing that the club's general manager, Bianchi, sat back in his seat after chatting with Santiago, the president Pompiro introduced again.

Really! Carlos Luis Ischea, current coach of Boca Juniors.

The current Boca boss has not had much success as a player, playing as a defender as a professional for Chacarita Juniors, Sarsfield and the Argentine national team. In the early days of his coaching career, Bianchi appeared on the pitch as an assistant to Bianchi at Sarsfield Town and Boca Juniors, and took charge of Sarsfield Town in 2002 after Bianchi's departure. After that, he coached La Plata Gemnacia and Colombian Juniors, but during this period there were frequent conflicts with the team management and conflicts with fans and media, so in 2007 he returned to Argentina to coach Rosario Central, but was dismissed again after 14 rounds of the spring league in October due to poor results.

Ishchea, who was not very good at coaching, was idle at home, but Bianchi, as the general manager of the club, was very optimistic about his former assistant when Boca Juniors changed coaches, and it was under Bianchi's recommendation that Ischea was able to join Boca Juniors. During the time of Boca Juniors' tenure, the team's results were still the first and second places in the league, and there were no special changes, but the results in the cup were not bad.

As a result, Ischea, who did not make mistakes, was able to gradually secure his position as manager, and of course the most important thing is that the former assistant Bianchi and current Boca Juniors coach has a good attitude towards Santiago.

As Europe's golden boy two years ago, Ischea has seen the footage of Santiago's game, and this is undoubtedly the type of player he likes very much. An excellent midfielder who can play on both wings to a certain extent, mid-to-high speed, good explosiveness and set-pieces, outstanding technique at the feet and, of course, above all, great vision, organisation and imaginative passing, which is why Santhiago was once called Veron's successor.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, San Tiago, and frankly I like your type of player, and I hope we can have a good time working together!" Ishchea's unexpected enthusiasm made Santhiago feel a little flattered for a while, and he immediately responded positively.
