...... a day ago

There are several people sitting in the office of Atletico's scouting director, all of whom are important figures at the club. There are Scouting Director Guzman, Club President Mr. Hill, Team Head Coach Flores, and Team B Coach Vares.

"It's time to go! Tell me about the details! Guzmán said.

Justo handed the documents to everyone present, then connected the computer to the projector and opened the video file on the computer.

"The main reason why I'm in such a hurry to report this to you today is because there are a lot of clubs that are staring at this player right now." Justo found the video.

"I heard that you are following a Chinese player this time. I'm curious about what kind of strength a Chinese player can have. Coach Flores had a look of distrust.

"Hehe, don't worry. Justo is our most dedicated scout, and he has always been cautious, well-documented and meticulously tracked. I'm sure the players he recommends won't be bad. Guzmán said.

"Thank you, Governor." Justo's praise of Guzmán was useful.

"This is the channel that the club gave me three months ago to inspect the players of the Chinese Under-19 national team. At first, I didn't find anything, until I found the young player I was going to introduce today in a match between China and Real Madrid. "Usto opened the file first, and the avatar shown in the picture was Guan Xiaolong.

"Guan, the main force of the Chinese Youth Army, is only 18 years old this year. I was so impressed with his abilities that you could watch his footage. Justto clicked on the video.

Guan Xiaolong in the video has a beautiful point-grabbing shot, a variety of strong dribbling balls, and the speed is fast. There are also videos showing footwork and kicking set-pieces.

At first, Hill, the team's president, just sat on the sidelines, fiddling with his phone as he listened. After seeing the video, he was attracted to the players in the video.

"The speed of the off, especially the speed of the ball. Although it is not strong, it has strong body coordination and explosive power. The most rare thing is his outstanding footwork. His competitive attributes are very much in line with our team's current defensive and counter-attacking style of play. Justto said.

Guzmán looked at Guan Xiaolong in the video and thought to himself that this boy was so familiar. I look like I've seen it somewhere, but it's been a while......

Oh...... Come to think of it.

"The Chinese national youth team was stationed in Seville before, right?" Guzmán asked.

"Hmm." Justto replied.

"Hahaha!" Guzmán laughed, "I've seen this player, it's him." ”

Justo didn't figure it out, how could Guzmán meet Guan Xiaolong?

So Guzmán shared that he had planned to participate in Saima, and then suddenly returned to Madrid and transferred his qualification to Guan Xiaolong.

"I didn't expect you to have a hobby of running marathons." Hill teased.

"You have to keep in good shape all the time!" Guzmán said.

"If that's the case, then his physical strength is too good. As far as I know, the day before the race of the Barcelona B team was Saima, that is, Kwan participated in the race the day after running the marathon and still performed so well!? "Justto was incredulous.

"It's impossible!" Flores directly denied, "After running a marathon, you need to rest for at least 2-3 days before you can participate in the race." Long-distance running has a huge damage to the knee, and it is impossible to do strenuous exercise again without recovery. Impossible, impossible! ”

'Well, anyway, he did a great job against Barcelona.' Justo is down to business.

"Hmm...... It's really fast. But...... The small technique is not good, and the way of dribbling the ball is relatively simple. Flores quickly saw Guan Xiaolong's shortcomings.

Indeed, even though Atletico Madrid is a physical stream, La Liga is generally known for its technique. Especially the small-scale technical cooperation, the top five leagues. Compared with the high-speed attack and defense of the Premier League, the all-round defense of Serie A, and the midfield strangulation of the Bundesliga, people mention La Liga as technology.

Guan Xiaolong has greatly improved his speed and ability with the help of the system, and there is indeed a huge room for improvement in small technology processing.

'I don't think we need to bring in the Chinese player right now, we have Forlan and Sergio Aguero up front. The substitutes Salvio and Borja were both excellent, with Simão and Reyes on the bench up front. If he wants to bring in Guan, he can only stay in Team B first. Flores expressed her opinion.

Justo looked at Guzmán, who turned to Vares.

"Kwan's potential doesn't stop there, I remember when I first noticed him, he wasn't that good. In the subsequent matches, he was almost better than the other, which is enough to show how adaptable he is and how fast he can improve. Seeing that neither coach was interested, Justto turned on persuasion mode.

"Let's be honest, this one seems to me to be just pretty good. For me, it feels dispensable. There are promising stars from all over the world in the Academy, and they are all excellent. And I don't see how good Guan is better than them. Vares finally spoke.

Now both coaches are not interested, which makes Justo a little embarrassed. This is the first time that I have been a scouting for so long.

"What do you think, Guzmán?" Chairman Hill said suddenly.

Originally, there was no need to bother the chairman to be here, but Justo arrived in the morning just in time for Guzmán and the chairman to be chatting. Hill just wanted to hear about it, so he stayed.

'I think it's necessary to sign this young player. Guzmán replied.

"Reason." Hill asked.

"Justo is a serious researcher, and the players he introduces have all played in the major European leagues so far. It can be said that the positive rating is almost 100%. Whether it's my own exposure or what I've seen on video, my views are in line with those of Justo. Guzmán replied.

Guzmán praised Justo rather than himself, all of Atletico's academy players were played by Guzman, and Justo was just a first-line scout.

"But have you ever thought that this Guan is already a professional player in China. If we want to sign him, I'm afraid it will cost some money. You must know that almost all the children in the academy are free or at a very low cost. Is it worth it for a Chinese young player? Varess asked.

'If he can bring value to the club in the future, it's worth it. And our assessment of him now is recognized. So, I think it's okay to give it a try. Guzmán replied.

"Give him a short-term contract, at the lowest level of salary. If it's not good, it's not a problem to withdraw it after two years. I think this little ghost is good, maybe he will become a talent in the future. Hill gave his plan.

In addition to Flores's resolute refusal not to shut up Xiaolong, Vares is okay, after all, he is still willing to explore youth work. Although he had some scruples about Huaguo primary players at first, he eventually accepted it.
