Chapter 17 Reflections on the Future and Signing

"Hey, man. I know it was a great goal, but I don't have to think about it now. Hurry up and clean up, today is a big day for you to sign your contract. Seeing that the hero in the room was still trying his final pass in the tryout, Mendes couldn't help but cover his forehead and urged helplessly.

"Oh, got it." The hero scratched the hair on the back of his head in irritation and replied in a depressed and apologetic manner.

It's been two days since the trial was over.

Although the hero scored a stunning goal before the end of the game, it still did not change the fact that the substitutes lost 2:3. But for the individual hero, this trial match could not have been smoother and more successful.

At the very least, he is already considered a superstar by Rafael Benitez. At the time he and Mendes left the Valencia training base, he had even secured an agreement that Benitez would definitely sign him.

Therefore, as long as the hero himself does not change his mind, he is almost certain to join La Liga powerhouse Valencia.

Such a good news made Mendes unable to suppress his excitement after returning to the hotel, and he couldn't help but jump up, who had always been steady.

The reason for this is not only because the hero has successfully joined the La Liga powerhouse Valencia, but also because he is aware of Benitez's importance and love for the hero.

As a young young marshal who has made a name for himself in Spain in recent years, Mendes is no stranger to Benitez. At this moment, he has begun to think about how quickly the hero will grow after Mendes's careful training.

In comparison, on the contrary, the hero and the protagonist are a lot calmer.

The success of the trial certainly made him ecstatic, and he took a good breath of bad anger that had accumulated for a month.

But that excitement comes and goes quickly.

After only one night, his emotions and thoughts calmed down again.

This is not because of his strong concentration, but because the huge dream of "I want to be the best player in the world" is like a bucket of ice water, which makes his restless heart calm down at once.

I believe that until this dream is realized, it will become the biggest driving force for heroes to move forward.

A successful tryout is only the first step, and the next short-term goal is to be in Valencia's permanent rotation, then to be the starter, the absolute mainstay, and finally the heart of the team.

To accomplish all these goals, the most important thing is strength.

The hero knows that it is very difficult to do this with his current strength, so what he is currently thinking about is how to grow.

First of all, in terms of child skills and elastic legs, the hero does not feel that he can suddenly grow in the near future, so he excludes it for the time being.

The next step is to strengthen the weapons he currently has.

In these areas, he has recently come up with a number of training plans, such as improving his movement in the box, shooting power and consistency. It's just that strengthening these is just a reinforcement for the growth of his overall strength, and there will be no qualitative growth.

Still, that said, it will be the main goal of the hero's training in the near future.

In this regard, he is very sensible and knows that the most important thing for a young player like him to do is to consolidate and strengthen his strengths rather than to strengthen his weaknesses.

Before becoming a good all-round player, you must first try to become a brilliant characteristic player, which is a more practical development path for young players.

Finally, it is to strengthen weaknesses and deficiencies.

In the hero's original plan, this ring should have been free of zĂ i. But when he passed Ayala beautifully, this idea grew like a weed, growing wildly in his heart, and he couldn't control it.

What young player doesn't want to be a legend like Maradona, Ronaldo, etc., and fight on the pitch to the top of the opposition.

This is the charm of idols, and heroes can't be stopped just like other young people.

After the tryout, the hero himself replayed all the processes of that transcendence in his mind countless times, and soon he realized the true mystery of it.

The stumbling foot movements, the slightly sluggish movement frequency, the shortcomings of these heroes in the process of breaking through with the ball in the future are not missing, and none of them have changed.

The only difference is that this time he incorporated his super sense of physical balance from practicing martial arts. This is like Ye Gong's finishing touch, allowing his breakthrough to complete the gorgeous transformation of the dragon.

This discovery opened the hero's brain, and his eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw a golden door slowly opening towards him.

In addition to improving his physique in all aspects, he suddenly found that the kung fu he had practiced should be able to have a greater combination with football, but now these are just scratching the surface.

Compared to the orthodox football he learned at La Masia, the hero felt that this kung fu football path that combined martial arts and football was more suitable for him. And its achievements and power after the completion should not be weak at all, or even stronger, he subconsciously felt so, and believed it.

So, almost overnight, he decided that the future development path of his football career was - kung fu football.

Then, he immediately began to work on it, starting with the Spider-Man Cruyff he had used in the tryout.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined.

Although he could reproduce this action in its entirety, it would take too long to use it. In the real world of football, opportunities are fleeting and there is no room for delay.

However, as soon as he accelerated, the success rate began to drop rapidly.

At this point, the hero is completely stumped.

The success in the trial arena can only be attributed to serendipity. He also needs a lot of practice and training if he wants to be thoroughly proficient and effective in real competition.

Fortunately, heroes are never people who are afraid of difficulties. On the contrary, the more difficult things are, the easier it is to stimulate his enthusiasm.

That's what he is in this matter. No, he was still practicing this move in his room until he was going to sign today.

After a cursory clean-up process, the hero got into Mendes' makeshift rented SUV and headed for Valencia's training base again.

At this time, it was 8 o'clock in the morning, and it was the time when the sun was at its most vibrant, neither as shy as it was in the morning, nor as strong as it was at noon, but golden, energetic and full of hope.

Such sunshine, the hero is the favorite.

Through the lowered window, the sunlight hit his face, shattering into a brilliant golden halo that melted into his face.

This angular face instantly has a dazzling and fatal charm, not handsome, but youthful vitality with wings flying.

By the time they arrived at the training base, Benitez and several Valencian officials were already waiting there. This kind of slightly grand treatment made the hero, a fledgling person, a little frightened for a moment.

Aside from being on the court, he was just an ordinary young man of Chinese descent. Faced with this kind of scene, he is usually shy and introverted, and he is a little overwhelmed.

After getting out of the car, looking at Benitez who greeted him with a smile on his face, the hero scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and a shy smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing him like this, the smile on Benitez's round face became more and more obvious, full of a kind of comical amiability.

On the side, Mendes, who is good at interpersonal communication, soon had a pleasant conversation with the people of Valencia, and seemed very familiar.

Seeing this scene, the hero couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he knew that what he was going to do here today was just to sign it, and the rest of the negotiations were Mendes' job.

However, after actually arriving at the scene, he still couldn't help but get nervous. It wasn't until Mendes showed that he was at ease that he was relieved, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little more satisfied with Mendes.

The group talked as they walked, and the hero who listened carefully on the sidelines soon knew that his signing should not have been like today's battle, and even Benitez didn't even have to attend.

Because Valencia is also a very successful team in European football in recent years, it is very difficult for an 18-year-old trial player like Hero to get noticed.

At Benitez's firm request, Valencia's top brass agreed to sign a battle to welcome the hero as a sign of their own respect and respect.

Hearing this, the hero suddenly realized why there was such a battle to meet him. Compared with the cold words he received when he tried out everywhere before, he instantly felt a slight warmth in his heart, and he couldn't help but show a sincere and grateful smile to Benitez.

The world difference between the two phases makes the hero suddenly determined that he must work hard and not disappoint Benitez.

This may seem impulsive and sudden, but the phrase that a person dies for his confidant is that simple. This is the beginning of a mentorship between Benitez and the hero.

The negotiations that ensued were very smooth, and apart from some minor differences, the two sides had no problems with each other in the general direction.

The length of the contract and the hero's annual salary are the biggest disputes between the two parties, and at this time, Mendes fully exerted his ability to fight for the best contract that the two had predicted in advance.

It took only 2 hours for the hero's first professional contract to be finalized.

In the end, the length of his contract was also set at three years, and the annual salary was 30W euros after tax.

After carefully reading these terms, the hero himself signed his name in a small room in Valencia, and left a photo of himself shaking hands with Benitez and smiling.

At this time, no one knew that Valencia's greatest signing in the last decade was quietly completed in this small room on this unattended day.

"Mom and Dad, I've made it!!"
