Chapter 4: The Explorers of Paris

At this time, Lin Yi was walking slowly on the streets of Paris, in fact, he had some regrets since he left his dormitory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although I had itchy feet two weeks ago, I felt very happy when I played on the court. Even after yesterday's race, I still feel happy as before. But will I really be able to hold on? Does this help me now?

He wandered hesitantly, even though on his first day in Paris he had visited the Paris Saint-Germain training ground, and had passed by it on numerous walks, consciously or unconsciously. But at this moment, as if he couldn't find the way, he walked for a full forty minutes from the original ten minutes.

Standing outside Paris Saint-Germain's training ground, Lin hesitated. He looked at the Parisian logo, his hand in his trouser pocket, and clutched the letter that he had crumpled a little. Just when he made up his mind and was about to turn back. Suddenly, he felt something in his pocket, and when he took it out, it was the only possession he had, the one hundred euros he had received from Cantona.

What else could I earn in such a short period of time other than football? In that case, what am I hesitating about?

Thinking of this, he turned abruptly and strode towards the training ground in Paris.

Lin Yi himself may not have realized how self-deceptive this idea was. He didn't realize that he had always thought he was calm, but subconsciously, he had just made some excuses for his actions.

It may be a little too late to think about it now, because he has already walked into the training ground in Paris.

Nearly two years ago, on May 31, 2011, PSG's current owner, a key figure in a Qatari consortium, acquired 70% of the team's shares, becoming the largest shareholder. Then he spent a lot of money in the summer transfer period of that year, spending more than 100 million euros on reinforcements.

In the following year, the team had a mediocre record, but the wealthy businessmen did not stop clamoring in the transfer market, and in July 2012, they bought two of AC Milan's biggest stars, Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, to catapult the team from a Ligue 1 powerhouse to a contender for the Big Ears Cup.

Of course, these are just the good ideas that people have before the start of the season. When Paris fell to Barcelona in the quarter-finals, fans knew their expectations had been dashed. They are disappointed, dissatisfied.

And for their bosses, this is nothing more than a prelude to spending a little more euros in the coming summer.

Having just lost in the Champions League, their security is obviously not in a good mood. Fortunately, Lin Yi was very wise to show Cantona's letter before they drove them out.

Jiang Xin looked at the slightly thin guy in front of him suspiciously, this is the forward midfielder that even Cantona thinks is excellent? Make no mistake, right? Although they didn't believe Lin Yi, they were able to recognize Cantona's signature with a unique technique.

The two security guards exchanged ideas, and finally one of them decided to go and ask their team officials and the head coach.

About ten minutes later, the security guard who went in to ask for instructions came out, and then gave his compatriots a look of surprise on his face, and asked Lin Yi to go in.

While walking inside, the security guard cautiously asked Lin Yiyi, "Sir, this letter ...... Do you still need it? ”

Lin Yi understood what he meant, as the top star in the history of French football, Cantona's signature is definitely what countless fans yearn for. Lin Yi, who was about to usher in a huge test, didn't want to be distracted, and waved his hand at him, "You can help me deal with it!" ”

The security guard happily put the letter in his pocket, and soon Lin Yi was taken to an office by him.

As soon as Lin entered, he saw a fat man with a frown in front of him, indeed, the current performance in Paris was enough for Ancelotti to worry about the fire.

The opposite of Ancelotti was another person in the room, personable, in a suit and with a smile on his face.

Although the Champions League journey has not been smooth, it has not had much impact on him as a sporting director. Compared to Carlo Ancelotti, his job is obviously more pleasing, and using a lot of euros and connections to sign superstars from all walks of life must be a much better feeling than losing.

On top of that, in the days since Carlo Ancelotti lost the Champions League, his communication with Napoli striker Edin Cavani has also made breakthroughs. He couldn't be upset about that.

Leonardo, who was the general manager and head coach of Paris Saint-Germain at the time, and Carlo Ancelotti, as well as rookie Lin Yi, completed their first meeting in this office.

Looking at Lin Yi who came in, Ancelotti's brows furrowed even deeper. For his emotions, he did not hide the slightest, and it is no wonder that An Fat, who has always been conscientious, can't accept it, Cantona's recommendation like a joke, is actually a Chinese! And judging from the appearance, this guy who is not so strong and a little pale is really not in line with his current team building needs.

Lin Yi stood in front of the two of them, and he was also a little cramped, he didn't know what he was going to do now. And Ancelotti obviously has little interest in himself, and has no intention of opening up to himself.

After standing awkwardly for a few minutes, it was Leonardo who broke the deadlock, and he still looked at Lin Yi with a smile, "Are you the player recommended by Eric, or are you the player's agent?" ”

The silence was broken, and Lin Yidu was quite grateful, and he hurriedly replied: "Mr. Leonardo, I am the player recommended by Mr. Cantona for the trial. My name is Lin Yi. ”

The former Brazilian star, who has discovered superstar Kaka and has a wealth of scouting and coaching experience, touched his chin and looked at Lin Yi keenly, "I heard Carlo say to me that Eric has a high opinion of you and that you are a good frontcourt player. Aim can be shot, and retreat can be organized. I'm very interested in it, and I thought, why don't we go out and try it? Carllo, are you interested in going and seeing? ”

Ancelotti frowned again, he didn't nod, just said to his companion in a rough voice: "I think my priority now is to go out and train my players and prepare for the upcoming semi-finals of the French Cup, what do you think?" I don't think a Ligue 1 champion who hasn't fully caught it will be able to give the club an account. ”

Lin Yi looked up at Ancelotti, and there was a large schedule hanging behind him, which marked all the games of the season, including the Champions League, the league, and the French Cup.

The Champions League fixtures have been closed in midweek this week, and Lin Yi can't help but think of the live broadcast he watched, as well as Pastore's poor performance.

The fixture schedule clearly indicates that Paris will face Marseille tomorrow, the most decorated in the history of the French Cup.

Carlo Ancelotti, who had already lost the Champions League a few days ago, obviously values this upcoming match, and he really has no interest in Lin Yi.

Leonardo heard Ancelotti's stiff tone, and hurriedly came out to play a round, "Carlo, just look at Lin's skills and performance, I don't think it will take too much time, haven't you always been dissatisfied with Javier (Pastore)?" ”

Ancelotti had already stood up at this time, "Leonardo, I don't have any grievances with Xavier. And even if I am dissatisfied, I don't think a Chinese will be better than him? ”

"Even if this person was recommended by Eric Cantona?"

In the Champions League, the defeat in the key game must have made Ancelotti a little anxious at this time, and he said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "I only think that Eric guy has made those movies recently, and I will invite you to watch them when I have time!" ”

With that, he turned and walked out.

Leonardo, who was embarrassed, and Lin Yi, who had the courage to be drained all at once.

What is this? Did you come over and get slapped in the face? Lin Yi, who wanted to stop Ancelotti but only opened his mouth, stood in the office, his heart beating faster.

Just when he felt that he should seize the next time and go out to continue looking for a part-time job, Leonardo suddenly stopped him, "Wait! Lin, let's go out and try it at a training ground, and don't forget what I used to do. If I could, I, as the sporting director, could just leave you behind. Carlo is such a grumpy, if you stay, he will approve of you. ”

Lin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that in addition to being the sports director, Leonardo had also coached a giant club like Milan in the past. And now as the sporting director, he is really in power.

Leonardo led Lin Yi to one of the many training venues in Paris, and on the way, he also dialed the phone number of the youth training director, and asked him to find several leading figures in the academy, obviously to compare and confront Lin Yi.

"Come on! Warm up first! Leonardo waved his hand.

Lin Yi suddenly realized in embarrassment at this time that he didn't bring sneakers. In other words, he hasn't had a sneaker since he came to France.

Leonardo didn't say much, smiled, and immediately had a pair of sneakers and equipment for him.

Lin Yi changed into sneakers, and did not forget to change into the jersey he brought, which he bought after he came to Europe, and was going to take it back to China as a souvenir, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

However, the moment he changed his clothes, Lin Yi suddenly felt even more embarrassed. Because what was put on him was a Barcelona uniform......

At this time, even Leonardo couldn't help but be a little suspicious, this kid shouldn't be here to smash the field, right? Judging from the team uniform he wore, it is very possible!

Lin Yi's strong psychological quality was revealed at the critical moment, although it was embarrassing, but after changing all the equipment, he was already as usual, just like before, and warmed up before the game.

Leonardo was a little surprised but satisfied to watch him warm up professionally, very set! It doesn't seem to be a new tender with only a little talent.

At this time, the youth director and youth coach had already led more than a dozen players to the training ground, and behind this group of people, there was another group of youth players. They were obviously curious when they weren't named by the supervisor and coach, so they all followed them during the break.

Lin Yi, who defined himself as an explorer, stomped his feet, and the battle was not small......
