Chapter 184: Friends (3)
While a few people were chatting, the door to the ward was pushed open again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was a young man with brown hair who came in, and the moment he opened the door, he was stunned, but he didn't expect that there were many people in the small ward, and there were two people he was very familiar with.
"Coach Enrique? Coach Tito? You're here too! ”
Villanova turned his head and nodded coldly as usual, but Enrique was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "It's Lauren." Haven't you already left Barcelona? Is this here to visit Fan? ”
It was Lauren, Fan's closest friend in the reserves, who came in, and he nodded in response: "Fan's team is coming to Barcelona to play, so I'll stay here for two more days." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Fan Bizhuang and asked, "Long time no see, Fan." How's it going, are you feeling better? ”
Fan Bizhuang had a smile on his face, and he was also very happy to meet his old friend who he hadn't seen for a long time, he deliberately made a dissatisfied appearance, and spread his hands and said: "Why does everyone who comes here ask the same sentence like this?" As you can see, I'm fine except for not being able to move around for a while. By the way, Lauren, did you really come to visit me? ”
Lauren wondered, "Is there a problem?" ”
Fan Bizhuang looked at his friend's empty hands and pouted: "The way to visit the patient is to put your hands together and bring nothing?" Sorry, I said it a bit bluntly, but I thought that only the cheeky Louis and the uncaring Mr. Tito could do such a thing as visiting a sick person and coming empty-handed, ha, I didn't expect you to be such a person! ”
“……”
Lauren was stunned, her mind dizzy. Is this still the same Fan he knew? How do you feel that the painting style is weird, the former Fan Bizhuang, where would there be so many words, where would he joke with him? Could it be that this guy's injury this time was not his feet, but his brains?
Thinking about it this way, Lauren still smiled and sat down beside him, shook his head and said: "I also want to come to see you with gifts, but, Fan, I'm not like you, now you are a big star, you are worth a lot of money, I am still a nobody, I haven't even played in the professional league, and I don't have any income at all." I didn't have money to buy gifts, so I had to come empty-handed. ”
Although he said this with a smile and covered it up well, Fan Bizhuang could still hear the disappointment and loneliness in Lauren's words.
Lauren's matter, Fan Bizhuang also paid attention, their group of young players in La Masia's reserve team, some of them were promoted to the first team, if not the main team, at least became a rotation player. But there is still a large part of the players who are not getting the chance, the first team has not called them up, and they have to find another way. Some players have gone on loan to other teams after discussing with the club, and some players have terminated their apprenticeship contracts with the club, or they have left La Masia completely after the contract expires.
Lauren is one of them.
Watching his teammates either enter the first team and start working hard in the professional league, or go to other teams one by one, maybe the league level is not high, but they are also on the road of progress, how can Lauren not be in a hurry, how can he not be disappointed? At his age, he is the fastest growing time for a player, and what he needs most is more experience and accumulation of actual games, and staying at La Masia and waiting for the call can only be a waste of time.
Lauren finally made the decision and accepted an offer from a team that was not at the high level. But he still has some bad feelings in his heart, although he will have a game to play in the near future, but after all, he is from La Masia, and the sense of superiority in his heart cannot be lost, plus many teammates have already established themselves in the top league, such as Van Bizhuang and Bojan, Busquets and others, the two comparisons, the sense of loss is naturally even worse.
It's all from La Masia, and others are proud, so he can only go to the lower leagues to struggle and fight, even if he has a good mentality, I'm afraid it won't be a taste in his heart.
Faced with this situation, Fan Bizhuang didn't know how to persuade him, he thought about it, and could only encourage: "Have confidence in yourself, man." ”
As soon as these words came out, Fan Bizhuang himself couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. To be honest, in their group of La Masia academies, Lauren did not show too strong talent and potential, he has always been a decent player, there are no big weaknesses, and there are no special outstanding points, the coach arranges him to do what he does, he does it, not for merit, but for no fault. This kind of performance can only be attributed to mediocrity, and he is not the kind of training maniac, he does not have the perseverance to not give up until he reaches his goal, such a mediocre player, if he does not improve much in the future, not to mention that Barcelona will not want him, and it is estimated that other teams in the top league will not throw an olive branch to him.
In such a situation, he also encouraged the other party to have more confidence in himself, but this confidence has no source at all.
Fan Bizhuang felt that he had lost his words, so he simply shut up and didn't speak. Lauren didn't really care, because Fan Bizhuang was telling the truth, and he knew himself very well.
Smiling, Lauren shook her head and said self-deprecatingly, "I'll try." That's good, now I've decided to go to another team, it's not big and it's not high, but it's good to be able to play. Maybe in a few years, I'll have a radical change and a top team will look at me? At that time, the two of us brothers will be able to meet again in the top arena. Hehe. ”
Fan Bizhuang opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only turn into a light sigh. Meet again at the top level? This may just be a distant nonsense. Lauren and him, unconsciously, have embarked on different paths, and the ease between the two friends will not change because of the passage of time, but the gap will only get farther and farther.
Both of them knew this, and these words were just a joke of relief, and both fell silent, a little unsure of what to say, and the atmosphere in the ward was slightly silent.
"By the way, Lauren, do you have an agent?"
Half an hour later, in order to alleviate this awkward silence, Fan Bizhuang spoke again.
Lauren shook her head: "I'm a football apprentice who just came out of training camp, and I'm not a talented player, where will someone from an agency take a fancy to me." ”
"Ha, that's a good idea." Fan Bizhuang looked at Lauren's strange gaze and waved his hand with a smile, "I didn't mean to laugh at you. Lauren, I have a good candidate to recommend to you, how about it, would you like to try it? ”
In all fairness, there is almost no difference between having a professional agent and not having one, because it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to play in a high-level league, so naturally there is not much commercial value, and there will be no advertisers willing to waste energy on him, so what is the point of finding an agent? Wasting your own money? Your income is not high, and you have to spend money to support an employee? No matter how you look at this, the gains outweigh the losses.
Of course, the benefits are not impossible, with the help and care of a professional agent, maybe he can connect him with a potential and promising team, maybe he can't fly to the sky, but there is always a chance to get ahead.
The advantages and disadvantages are obvious, and Lauren is a little hesitant: "Will there be an agency like me that will take a fancy to me?" ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" Fan Bizhuang smiled, a little self-proclaiming, "This friend of mine is very good, treats people well, is dedicated to his work, very responsible, and he himself also loves the sport of football, he is ambitious, and said that he will create a great career in the future, uh, although there are not many players under his command now, but the players he has are very good, my friend will become the largest professional football agent in Iberia and even Europe in the future, well, that's it, that's it, He's going to open the biggest and best professional brokerage firm......"
Fan Bizhuang said that the sky was wild, Enrique and Villanova looked suddenly disbelieving, and Lauren opened his mouth wide: "Listen to you say this, then your friend is really a very good and ambitious agent." Hmm, Mr. Anderson? Or Assi? ”
Jeremy. Anderson is an Englishman who grew up in London, is one of the most famous professional football agents in European football, he has been in the agent business since the 80s, not only with professional players in European countries, but also with the Premier League giants Arsenal, Thierry Henry and former Gunners captain Adams are his employers, and he also has famous stars such as Jefferson and Pires.
Not many people know the name Assisi, but he is also an excellent professional football agent. One of the most famous cases is that he brought his younger brother, the Brazilian Ronaldinho, who is now playing for Barcelona, to the European stage, and later helped Ronaldo to Catalonia for a transfer price of 2,800 euros, and successfully signed a contract with 100 million euros in liquidated damages.
It can be said that Xiao Luo's success is inseparable from his agent Assisi, and he also has a share of the credit for the World Footballer of the Year trophy.
The two names that Lauren said were both extremely famous, and it was obvious that he was trying to be crooked. Of course, this can't be blamed on Lauren, Fan Bizhuang bragged about the other party too much, and it is no wonder that Lauren would want to fork.
Fan Bizhuang laughed dryly, shook his head and said, "It's not them." ”
"That's good." Lauren breathed a sigh of relief, these two names scared him a lot, he wants to be famous or not, and he wants to be a scumbag at the bottom of the football world, if these two gods can take a fancy to it, then there is really a ghost. Even if Fan Bizhuang really introduced it to him, he didn't dare to agree. He still knows how much he is pounded, and his thighs are not such a way, signing this kind of god, isn't he in a hurry to embarrass people?
However, Lauren's curiosity was also aroused, he thought about it, and he really couldn't think of anyone else who could be so respected by his friends, so he asked suspiciously: "Fan, who are you talking about?" ”
Fan Bizhuang smiled and didn't speak, and a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Well, as embarrassing as it is, if I'm not mistaken, that person seems to be ...... It's me. ”
