Álvaro Júnior went on to say: "The current situation of the team is terrible and I don't expect promotion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAs long as I can keep a place in the second class, I will plan for the rest in the future. ”

Chen Jianhao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Sir, do you mean that as long as we can successfully relegate, we will complete the task?" ”

"Relegation? That's not going to work, Boavista is a 100-year-old traditional team after all. We have to stay out of the relegation zone, at least in the upper middle range. The old man's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked at Chen Jianhao intently, and said: "Child, you have to be ambitious, relegation should be the worst choice, not the first choice." ”

"I don't think there's a difference between staying in the middle and upper reaches and relegation......"

"Oh?"

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Xiao Pan squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Jianhao, signaling him not to talk nonsense. As a result, Chen Jianhao ignored it and continued: "Sir, with all due respect, I think the team should aim for promotion, not just maintain in the middle and upper reaches. Last night I was reading a book in English and came across the saying, 'Hope is like salt, it is not nutritious, but it adds flavor to the bread.'" I love that. If you really want to sign us, you should be hopeful for us. ”

Several people looked at him in a daze, and Chen Jinwu, who was beside him, stepped forward and said secretly, "I'll go!" You actually read Saramago? ”

"It's not like you bought those bunches of books and forced me to read them!"

"No, I didn't expect you to even be able to read this book......"

The old man lifted his glasses and said with some joy: "Child, do you like José Saramago too?" ”

"I read that he was one of the most famous writers in Portugal and I took a look. Actually, I don't particularly like it. ”

"Hmm." The old man sank down again, and said, "Do you know that he also said, 'The answer always refuses to come when it is most needed, and many times the only possible answer is that you have to be patient.'" ’”

"Well, I've only read one book from him." Chen Jianhao didn't understand what he meant.

'I don't think the issue of promotion should be rushed because the team doesn't have the budget to bring in players. Of course, I will also invest some money to ensure that the team has a certain competitiveness, but the second division format is very cruel, not only to ensure that you have to win the division, but also have to compete in several play-offs. ”

Chen Jianhao thought for a while and said, "Actually...... That's just my personal hope. ”

"I'm glad you have that thought. It strengthened my resolve to sign you. ”

Before they knew it, the conversation had become a matter for both of them, and everyone else was just sitting down.

"In this case, we might as well sign it directly?" The old man suddenly pulled a wad of paper from the table next to him and handed it to Chen Jianhao.

"Wait." Xiao Pan stopped: "Mr. President, signing a contract is a matter of a few minutes, and we should negotiate important matters first." ”

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

"On the details of the contract. In fact, when he wanted to sign a contract with a Chinese company before, we were against it, because four years is too long, and anything can happen. We don't want to be profit-seeking, but at least you have to give them a stable guarantee. ”

"What else? Go on. ”

"They're all going to be eighteen in a year or two, and he—" Pan pointed to Francis, "he's already eighteen, and he'll be nineteen in a short time." I think a weekly salary of a few tens of euros is really too low. ”

"I understand all of this, but didn't they have no income in the first place? This is already a salary that matches our youth team, and Andre Gomez is only 80 euros a week. In addition, we also take care of the food and lodging free of charge. ”

Xiao Pan shook his head and said, "Their situation is different. Andre has a choice, after all, and he doesn't necessarily stay here next season. ”

"So what do you mean? At the moment we cannot afford it - and we cannot afford to offer them a higher contract. ”

"No, I want to say, can you add some special clauses, like goals, promotions and so on."

"Upgrade? If just a few of them could get the team promoted, we would have been back in the top flight a long time ago. The old man smiled and simply put down the cruel words: "If we can be promoted next season, I will directly give them a weekly salary of 5,000 euros!" ”

"Do you mean really?"

"Of course!" The old man said that he was emotional, and slapped the table again: "You don't need to guarantee promotion, as long as you can get a play-off place!" Take the contract, change it now! ”

Chen Jianhao took the contract, looked at everyone, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Xiao Pan saw that the other party was so happy, but he had no idea for a while, so he looked at Govia again.

At this time, it was Chen Jinwu who said, "Signed, right?" If we can do that, we will be able to stand firm. ”

Everyone didn't speak, and Chen Jianhao didn't want to refuse at all, so he handed over the contract. Xiao Pan asked again: "Do you promise to keep your promise?" ”

The old man took out a pen from his suit and said with a smile: "The contract is here, is there any reason why it is not accurate?" ”

“OK。 What about negotiating with the Chinese side—"

"I'll find someone to fix it."

Chen Jinwu took the opportunity to ask: "Do all four of them have the same contract?" ”

The old man put pen to paper like flying, did not raise his head, and said: "This is nature, there is no reason to treat it differently!" ”

After writing it, the old man handed the contract to Govia and said, "Reprint a few copies later, just send it to me directly after signing it, and I will go out later." ”

"Okay." Govia respectfully took it.

The old man looked up at the young man in front of him again, and suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Children, welcome to Boa Vista!" ”

The signing went surprisingly well, but it didn't seem to be too much to look like. Xiao Pan originally wanted to get a better contract for Chen Jianhao - he didn't care about the others, but nothing seemed to have changed. The upgrade rewards seem to be quite generous, but at the end of the day, it's a no-brainer.

Maybe it would be better to find a broker? I can't do that right now, so let's leave it at that.

Everyone stood up one after another, shook hands with the club chairman one by one, exchanged a few pleasantries, and the matter came to an end. They don't know what the future holds; I don't know what this paper contract means to them.

They came here a few months ago with a dream to make it to the youth team and one day break into the first team. Unexpectedly, the first team does not seem to be as difficult as imagined. Maybe it was a coincidence that they got a lot of opportunities that shouldn't have been theirs. The relegation turmoil, the financial crisis, the running of players, the shortage of personnel, all kinds of unfavorable factors for the club have taken over, but on the contrary, they have provided them with the best stage for growth.

Time flew by, and another few months passed.

The boys' lives are as usual, going to school in the morning, training in the afternoon, and continuing to tutor Portuguese in the evening. It's the same, but it's very fulfilling. The youth team entered the off-season early, but training went on as usual, with only a month's break at the end of June.

Chen Jianhao, Fang Jizhou, and Wu Tianchang must thank Xiao Pan and Chen Jinwu. Without them, the Portuguese language would not have progressed so rapidly. Even if he is as clumsy as Francis, he has improved a lot, at least he can barely communicate with the players without relying on an interpreter. Many of the other 36 Chinese players who arrived at the same time could not communicate even the most basic common words, and could only express them in writing. In fact, the hardest part of learning a foreign language is the speaking part, and many times you can read some esoteric texts, but you can't directly communicate with locals with different accents. However, Chen Jianhao has basically overcome this problem, and it only took more than half a year.

As an accompanying coach, Xiao Pan has also been greatly improved. Because every game **** needs to cooperate with Silva to do some analysis and recording work, I usually have a lot of experience on the sidelines, and I have also learned a lot. He didn't dare to think that he could make a difference here, and his goal was just to become the manager of a Chinese Super League team. This goal is not big, but it is not small, after all, there are only a dozen places for the head coach of the club, even if it is the Chinese Super League, it is very human.

After a shocking comeback against Espinho, Silva spotted Chen's defensive flair and began to try to transform them into defensive midfielders – that is, midfielders. Chen Jinwu agreed without saying a word. It doesn't matter what position he plays, as long as he can contribute to the team, he is willing to listen to everything the coach has to offer. Due to Chen Jinwu's relatively thin body, in order to strengthen his confrontation ability, Silva tried all kinds of methods to make him gain weight, and he gained more than ten kilograms in just a few months. Strength training accounts for a large part of him, and compared to when he first came, Chen Jinwu's upper body already has obvious muscle lines.

Since the assistant coach of the first team, Dinis Resendi, specifically pointed out Wu Tianchang, Silva naturally did not dare to slack off, although he felt that Wu Tianchang was not very talented, but he also spent a lot of effort to adjust him, although the progress during the period was not obvious, but it was also improved. In particular, Silva attaches great importance to the ability of defenders to respond, and in the past few months, Wu Tianchang has practiced a good short pass, and his ability to hold the ball has also improved significantly, and he is not only a reckless man who can only rely on his body to defend.

Fang Jizhou and Chen Jianhao are both forwards, but their training directions are completely different. After all, Fang Jizhou has been in the professional team for a few years, and he is quick to absorb tactically, so he pays more attention to physical and technical training. Silva's personal favorite is also him, and naturally he has put a lot of effort into him, and he has made great progress in the past few months. However, Chen Jianhao is a sword-sided, although his personal skills are good, his tactical literacy is a little unable to keep up, and Silva focuses on training him in this regard.

When several people were growing up, except for Fang Jizhou, who had stagnated, everyone else had some increase in height and weight. Just the day before he officially entered the pre-season training camp for the first team, Silva updated the profiles of several people and handed them over to Govia.

Chen Jianhao: height 186cm (just joined the team 184cm), weight 82kg (just joined the team 78kg), habitual foot - right foot, good position - forward, suggested development direction - all-round striker / standing center forward.

Chen Jinwu: height 166cm (just joined the team 162cm), weight 64kg (just joined the team 56kg), habitual foot - left foot, good position - winger, other positions (good at the degree of descending order) - full-back / central midfielder / forward / full-back, suggested development direction - back / drag back organizational core.

Fang Jizhou: height 172cm (no change), weight 69kg (just joined the team 62kg), habitual foot - right foot, good position - striker, recommended development direction - shadow striker / nine and a half times.

Wu Tianchang: height 194cm (just joined the team 188cm), weight 79kg (just joined the team 76kg), habitual foot - right foot, good position - central defender, recommended development direction - ball guard.
