After the training, Reeves's clothes were all soaked with sweat, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his body, so he packed up his equipment on the sidelines, and walked quickly to the locker room, ready to take a hot shower, change into dry clothes, and take a short rest to continue the evening training.

When Reeves walked into the training building, he saw Kluivert walking alone in front.

"Patrick!" As Kluivert's training performance got better and better, so did the relationship between the two.

"Are you really planning to retire next year?" Reeves got the news from Puel on the sidelines of today's training session and was a little surprised because Kluivert and Forweguet have rotated in recent cup matches, and Kluivert has performed very well, and at his current state, he can play as a substitute for a few more years.

"Well, yes, I thought about it for a long time." Kluivert stopped and leaned against the wall, "Although I am a little unwilling, my body has been squandered too hard, and despite my hard training, my physical strength still can't keep up, and I can only play half the court at most." There is no point in continuing such a football career. ”

"But didn't you say you want to keep scoring goals, winning titles, going back to the national team and making your kids proud of you?" Reeves' voice was a little high, but Kluivert didn't get angry, but looked at Reeves with relief, and said in a calm tone: "I think I can accomplish a goal this season and make my kids proud of me." ”

Reeves looked at Kluivert suspiciously.

"Because of you, because of Lille, and because of myself."

Kluivert continued with a pause.

"Your performances, the quality that Lille has shown and my hard work have made me believe that I can win a championship this season, and this championship is enough for my children to be proud of me. And as I get older, my fitness will only get worse and worse in the future, and there is a good chance that I will be relegated to the lower leagues, and I don't want to go to the lower leagues because my name is Patrick Kluivert. ”

Seeing that Reeves was about to say something, Kluivert reached out and motioned to hear him.

"Reeves, if you are a friend to me, then don't persuade me anymore, win a championship together, and let me retire like a hero."

Reeves saw that Kluivert had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading him.

After the heavy topic, Kluivert's mood was much better.

"Are you going to practice more tonight?"

"Well, I don't have much to do when I go home anyway, but I went to the stadium today and I'm not at the training base."

Kluivert looked at Reeves suspiciously, and before he could ask, Reeves had already answered.

"There is a help agent who knows that I am practicing here, and he has calculated the time to block me, and it was not easy to get rid of the entanglement yesterday, and I don't want to experience it again today."

"Agents are annoying, but they do have some use."

"Well, I've decided to find an agent, but I haven't had the right person yet, so I want to wait."

"Well, this matter can't be arbitrary, you look at Anelka, he's ruined at the hands of the agent."

Reeves nodded, this example is really famous, Anelka scored 17 goals in 35 Premier League games when he was 19 years old, and none of them were penalties, his talent is stronger than Henry, but due to the influence of his mercenary brother agent, his career planning is chaotic, half of his talent has not been redeemed, wandering around, regardless of his career, moving back and forth to major clubs like a migratory bird.

Take a look at Anelka's resume:

The list of Premier League teams he has played for: Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Bolton, Chelsea, West Bromwich Albion.

He didn't just stop at the European continent, he also played almost all over the BRICS: Shenhua in the Chinese Super League, Atletico Barcelona Mineiro, and Mumbai City FC in the Indian Super League.

He is also the only player to have played for four of Europe's richest teams: Paris, Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Behind Anelka's frequent transfers are the Frenchman's two agents, older brothers Claude and Didier. Every time they transfer, the two can get enough benefits from it, whether it is from Arsenal to Real Madrid, or from Manchester City to Fenerbahce, the two brothers have been collecting illegal commissions, Wenger once said with regret: "Anelka can't get rid of two agent brothers in a day, he can't get a foothold in a big club for a day." ”

There was no consistent playing environment, which allowed Anelka to squander his footballing talent. His career had already gone downhill the moment his agent encouraged him to leave Arsenal.

Reeves doesn't want to be a wanderer like Anelka, so he must be cautious when choosing an agent, and he can't ask for an agent who only pursues his own interests, and he can't ask for an agent whose personality is too flamboyant.

"I know, I'll be cautious."

"However, the ideal agent will certainly not be in the group of people who have been around the club recently, and the French agent is notorious."

Reeves really didn't know about this, and humbly inquired about Kluivert,

Cruyves patiently explained to Reeves the current situation of the French agent.

At present, there are more than 900 players in the two professional leagues in France, and the number of football agents registered with the French Football Federation is as many as 140, which does not include those who do not have an agent license, but are actually engaged in the brokerage business "black account".

The sheer number of agents and the uneven quality of their business have made the football brokerage market in Ligue 1 seem very chaotic. For many agents, the main way to make money is to bring in a few young players from the African continent. The lucky ones who end up in the professional club will be seen as a cash cow by their agents. As for the African teenagers who are eliminated, they often end up living on the streets after being abandoned by their agents.

The most notorious incident for Ligue 1 football agents occurred last year, in 2005, as the agent of Ghana international Essien, the Frenchman Paveteo was found to have cheated on Essien's original transfer from Bastia to Lyon, and privately handed over a sum of 100,000 euros to a staff member of the Bastia club, who was found to have been financing terrorist activities for a long time, and Paveteo also admitted that he knew the other party's background.

"So if you have a choice, don't choose a French broker, if you are considered to be financing terrorists, it will be bad." It was rare to show his profound knowledge in front of Reeves, Kruyvi said deliberately.

"Patrick, how do you know so much about this?"

"Hehe" Kluivert's expression was a little embarrassed, and he said slowly, "In the summer, I thought I had no ball to play, and I planned my life after retirement, and my agent was one of the choices." ”

"Can I know of any other options?" Reeves was full of curiosity.

"Of course it's all football-related." Kluivert's face was full of helplessness, he had abandoned his studies since he was a child, he could only play football, and there were not many jobs to choose from, "Scouting, team management positions, coaches, etc., have all been considered. ”

Reeves thought for a moment, and the memories of Kluivert's retirement in his previous life gradually became clear, starting from the most basic forward coach, assistant coach, head coach of the youth team, member of the national team coaching staff, and sports director of Grand Paris, these are the roads he has walked.

After retiring from the scandal, Kluivert has really done a good job, and he has done a good job, the sports director of Grand Paris is not something that ordinary people can do, the sports director is responsible for transfers and youth training, and is the most important management position of a team, which requires knowledge of the ball and strong business ability to be competent.

Thinking of this, Reeves looked up and said, "Patrick, would you like to be my agent?" (To be continued.) )
