27. A historic meeting with Fabian Gotze

"Hello, my name is Fabian Gotze, I'm from Dortmund, Germany, and I'm a football agent." Fabian Gotze introduces himself to Tan Xibi.

After rinsing in the locker room and changing into a coat, Tan Xibi asked the team for leave, because he had just won the opponent, Tan Xibi was the hero of the team's victory, so the team agreed to Tan Xibi to take leave to go out and not to go with the team, but he still told him to be self-disciplined, not to drink, and not to cause trouble.

Tan Xibi is very depressed, does Lao Tzu seem to be a little sheep who is going astray? Society, my Brother Tan has been mixed with the society since he was very young, and I am familiar with the erosive life of those bright lights, Brother Tan, and I can play better than you foreigners!

It's just that my Brother Tan is determined to make a lot of money as a star, so I can control myself not to drink, smoke, or touch that thing, and my diet is also strictly required by myself according to the meals suitable for players I found on the Internet.

As for women, Brother Tan is still young, and he is still a child, why don't you try Brother Tan's urine? Guaranteed to drink to strengthen the body, the old man can kill the tiger!

At Gotze's invitation, Tan Xibi came to a café not far from the stadium to sit face-to-face with Gotze.

The reason why he was willing to see him was that on the one hand, Tan Xibi also had plans to find an agent, and on the other hand, it was because Gotze was not well-known in the agent circle, which was also the reason why Tan Xibi was willing to see him.

If it were super agents like Jorge Mendes and Mino Raiola, Tan Xibi wouldn't have birded them, and if Götze knew the real reason why he could be received by Tan Xibi, he didn't know if he was happy? Or are you happy? Still happy in the end?

After ordering a glass of water, Tan Xibi looked up and down at the handsome young man opposite, and said curiously, "Are you really an agent?" Looks like you're not much older than me. ”

Gotze smiled, "I'm from 1990, nine years older than you. ”

Tan Xibi wow, the agent of the post-90s, no wonder he is not famous.

"You look familiar, like ......" Tan Xibi touched his chin and thought, Gotze knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "I am Mario Gotze's brother, we look alike." But I wasn't as talented as Mario, so I retired early. ”

Oh, no wonder it looks familiar, it turns out to be the brother of Mario Gotze, the winner of the Golden Boy Award and the winner of the World Cup final against Argentina.

These brothers are not so similar to each other, they are so handsome, I bah, Lao Tzu is even more handsome.

Tan Xibi is sour and narcissistic, his appearance is somewhat ordinary, in layman's terms, he is the kind that he can't recognize even if he is thrown in the crowd.

"Coming all the way from Germany, it's not just about watching the game." Tan Xibi knew the other party's intentions, and the people in the club told him that many well-known agents offered him, but he refused.

Gotze laughed: "I've been following you since you were in the youth team at Sporting Portugal. I also have a younger brother, Felix, who is in the youth team at Bayern Munich, who admired your performance in the UEFA Youth League last season, and he is a fan of yours. ”

"Felix Gotze? Bayern's? Didn't come across it last season. ”

"Well, Felix's team was eliminated in the group stage, but he watched you play in the league and often came home and told us that Wall is so good, it's like an invisible wall, no one can break through Wall's defense."

Tan Xibi laughed and said proudly: "That's, I may not be able to do anything else, but wheel defense, at my age, I recognize the second, and no one dares to recognize the first." ”

Gotze almost squirted out a mouthful of water, but if you think about it carefully, it is true that in the small Champions League last season, Tan Xibi was the youngest player to participate, so many frontcourt players who are one or two years older than him sighed in front of him, and last month in the Sporting de Portugal team, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, the two world's top strikers, the post-90s tail generation, it seems that no one has done better than Tan Xibi.

"Unlike my two younger brothers, I played left-back when I was a player, the level of the Bundesliga, you know, is higher than the Portuguese Super League, and the physical confrontation is also very intense, I find that your defensive style is very special, rarely use the body to defend, I have observed that your lower game is very stable, the leg muscles are very developed, why are you so resistant to physical confrontation? After all, it's part of football. ”

Yo, in the end, he was born as a professional player, and he observed it really carefully.

Tan Xibi glanced at Ge Ting a few times in surprise, "Observe very carefully, yes, my defense does not rely on my body, but," raised his hand and pointed to his temple, "Brain." I'm not afraid of physical confrontation, and I know that physical contact can't be avoided when competing, but you have to know that we Asians, especially in East and Southeast Asia, are inherently inferior to Europeans, let alone blacks. We have an idiom in China, called promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, which means to give full play to one's strengths and avoid exposing one's shortcomings. If I use my brain to defend and be looked down upon by Arsenal, why should I use my weaknesses to compete with others' strengths? That's not looking for abuse. ”

Ge Ce was secretly shocked in his heart, is this childish Chinese teenager in front of him really only 18 years old? Although he is less than 30 years old, he has seen a lot of the world in Europe, the center of world football, but like Tan Xibi, who can see his strengths and weaknesses so thoroughly at the age of 18, and can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to perform so well, such a ball quotient may not be found by players who are praised as geniuses by the media at this age.

If Tan Xibi can make his debut two years earlier, I am afraid that the top three of this year's Golden Boy Award will have a place for him.

If he can be more powerful on the offensive end.

"I know you don't have an agent right now, so I'm here to see you, just to recommend myself." Gotze stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point to explain the real purpose of his appointment with Tan Xibi.

"If it weren't for the trivialities, I wouldn't want an agent." Tan Xibi said.

Götze was stunned, what does this mean?

"Actually, many agents have come to me, all of them are very famous agents, but I haven't seen them." Tan Xibi took a sip of the water glass and continued: "I don't like agents who are too strong, too capable, and too capable, because I don't want to hand over my fate to others, and my own fate can only be decided by me. The agent I want to find only needs to help me make a lot of money, and I don't need an agent to point fingers in front of me. ”

For players who have just debuted, if you want to use a strong agent to quickly increase your value and get more benefits, you have to "sell" yourself to the other party, unless you become famous in the future and have the ability to talk to the agent on an equal footing, you can get back part of your "freedom".

Tan Xibi doesn't care whether the agent he is looking for has connections or ability, what he believes in is that he is strong, even if he does not have an agent, he can get what he wants.

It's just that as a player, there are a lot of troubles and problems that need to be solved by an agent, so the agent still has to find one, but what he wants to find is an agent who obeys his orders as a "nanny" and "housekeeper", rather than an agent who squeezes himself on his head.

Götze pondered for a moment and smiled at Tan Xibi: "I think we will become a good partner." ”

———— cute dividing line————

Years later, the ace agent Gotze recalled the first meeting with Tan Xibi, and said that the other party left the deepest impression on him, Gotze said: "Sometimes young, sometimes mature." My inner voice told me that working with him would make me a first-line agent, at the level of Mendes and Raiola. But I don't think it matters, the important thing is that I made a good friend. ”
