In a restaurant in Amsterdam, Sylvia looked at the good-looking young man across from her as she kept cutting the steak on the plate with a knife, looking completely absent-minded.

"Raphael, is there anything bothering you?"

They had only known each other for a week, but they had already dated three times, but the usually enthusiastic young man was now like a different person, his head bowed and his movements were slow, and his eyes had lost their previous look.

"Oh!" The young man did not hide his distress after being awakened by his girlfriend's call, "Just in the afternoon, Marco called me and said that AC Milan was interested in me, and a representative would come to Amsterdam tomorrow with an offer and wanted to meet me. ”

"AC Milan?" , Sylvia was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed by the young man in front of her, "Great! Raphael! You're about to hit the bigger stage! Congratulations! ”

"Do you think I should go to Milan?" The young man named Raphael could not find the slightest joy on his face.

"Of course!" Silvia's tone couldn't stop climbing up for a while, "It's the fashion capital of all Europe, and AC Milan is the owner of last season's European champions, going there means you'll be in the spotlight!" ”

Rafael shook his head, "But my style doesn't suit Italy, where defenders can knock you to the ground at any moment, where the defense is suffocating, where the coach is like an engineer who makes precision instruments......"

He still has the second half to say, preferring to play in the open and nuanced Spanish league, which he believes is the best stage for him.

"Rafael ......", Silvia sighed suddenly, "I know you would love to go to Spain, especially to wear the Barcelona jersey, just like your predecessor Cruyff, but-" her tone became serious, "You must know that not everyone's life can be arranged as they imagined, but you must seize every opportunity to succeed to win your own life, and now you have such an opportunity to succeed!" ”

The young man was a little moved, he was only 20 years old, and Sylvia on the other side was already 25 years old, and his words naturally carried a convincing sense of calm and experience.

"And suppose that even if you land in Spain and succeed there, who can guarantee that you'll spend your entire career in Spain, knowing that a good player is just business for a club, when you're not in good shape, when you're out of action due to injury, or when you're younger and more popular with the fans...... At that time, there will be no place for you at the club. One of my seniors once told me that just because all the Dutch people know you doesn't mean you're a successful host, you have to be known to everyone in Europe to be proud to say that. ”

After Sylvia said this, she sat quietly at the table and watched the thoughtful young man say no more.

When a melodious flyingsquirrelcreek was broadcast in the restaurant, the young man smiled comfortably, "Thank you, Sylvia!" ”

……

Only one day later, it was still in this restaurant, and it was still this table, and the day before Sylvia was sitting on one side of the other side by the young man named Raphael, who waited anxiously and slightly anxiously for the guests he had invited.

At this time, two middle-aged men came from a distance, one after the other, and their eyes wandered in front, and after finding the table where the young man was, they suddenly lit up, and walked straight towards Raphael.

The young man quickly stood up and stepped forward with some restraint.

"Raphael, let me introduce you." , the middle-aged man in front of him gave way, "This is Mr. Braida, I think you should know who he is." ”

Looking at the middle-aged man with a simple face in front of him, the young man had a feeling that he needed to look up to see each other clearly, and he knew that it was the man in front of him who brought his predecessors Basten, Gullit, and Rijkaard, who became legends in world football, to Milan, and the best witness to all this is this middle-aged man who led the way for Braida - Marco Van Basten, a great goalscorer who once dominated the continent and was unwilling to face by all goalkeepers!

"Hello, Mr. Braida!"

"I've heard for a long time that the best player of the Dutch generation is called Rafael van der Vaart, and I've seen a whole box of your videos, but the real person is the first time I've seen it, more handsome than I imagined, at least much more handsome than Marco I saw for the first time." , Braida told a serious joke, but the effect was very good, at least it made Van der Vaart relax.

Brajda, who was the best candidate for Jiang Qi to suggest Galliani move to Ajax to discuss a move for Van der Vaart, felt it would be better for the father of the transfer to Amsterdam than for his young age.

With Van Basten's introduction, Braida directly offered the invitation, and after Sylvia's persuasion the day before, Van der Vaart did not show resistance and hesitation, but expressed his concerns directly.

"Mr. Braida, I know that an offer from Milan is a rare offer for a young player, but you should know that my style of play will take a long time to adapt to the Italian environment and ......", he grinned a little bitterly, "I am a player who is prone to injuries and it is a dangerous investment for every club. ”

Braida was a little surprised that Van der Vaart would say something like this, and there were two more likely responses in his expectation:

One is that players are too persistent and confident about future success, so it is easy to be impressed and quickly reach a transfer intention.

The other is that the player is very resistant to a future that deviates from his imagination, or tactfully or firmly declines the invitation.

However, either one will not reveal the injury history, you must know that this can be a bad factor that will affect the opponent's judgment and even re-evaluate the transfer action.

"Young man, you are very honest, then I won't say anything more." Braida took out a document from his briefcase, "This is a set of training programs specially formulated for you by the team's head coach Jiang, he said that this can effectively increase your confrontation without causing potential hidden dangers to the body, and for this reason, he also hired a sports medicine authoritative team from the United States to enter the Milan laboratory, which can formulate a series of physiotherapy and maintenance programs for you, as for your old injury, you still need to enter the Milan laboratory for a comprehensive examination after joining the team to determine the remedy." ”

After a pause, Braida finally concluded: "Jiang said, you are a genius, genius should not be ruined by injury, he is confident to do this, we have the same confidence in you, Rafael!" ”
