The hero walked home with a pensive look on his face, a thoughtful look.

Today, he ended his training program very early. You know, as a paranoid training freak, it's been a long time since the hero has broken the convention like this.

And the reason for this is that at this time, with a warm smile on his face, he followed him step by step calmly, this middle-aged white man named Jorge Mendes, who is a football agent by profession.

Dressed neatly, although not expensive, but also neat enough black business suit, a pair of polished round scalp shoes, coupled with a head of black hair, just from the appearance, this Jorge at a glance, gives others a sense of reliability and stability.

Of course, the hero didn't believe him so lightly. During his years at La Masia, he learned not only about football, but also about some of the darkness in football circles.

Obtain the brokerage contract and ownership of a young player by cheating, and then use shady methods such as arbitrarily arranging transfers and even match-fixing to make huge profits. Such liars and tricks are played out all the time in football all over the world.

Among them, young players like Hero, who come from a top academy like La Masia, are the favorite prey and target of this kind of crook agent.

For one, the competition in an academy like La Masia is too fierce, and although there are thousands of people in the school, there are only a few in the first team of Barcelona. Every year, there are young players who want to leave, and the saying that it is better to become famous as soon as possible applies not only to the entertainment industry, but also to the football circle. Leaving is the choice most people in La Masia would make for the sake of their careers.

Second, young players like La Masia or Milanello who come out of top academies, like unemployed young people with a Chicago or Yale diploma looking for a job, will always attract more attention and get a higher price.

So, of course, players like heroes have become the preferred target in the eyes of scammers' agents.

In the past few years in La Masia, the hero has seen many such young players who have been "sold". As far as he knows, the worst person signed the overlord contract because of the sweet words of this kind of liar agent. In the end, he was directly "sold" to Saudi Arabia, and before he began his possible brilliant career, he began to pan for gold for retirement, losing the possibility of further development.

For this reason, the hero is deep in his heart, and he preconceived that he was afraid of this kind of agent who came to the door, and he didn't believe in three points.

The same goes for Mendes. If it weren't for Mendes' good enough communication skills to reassure the hero a little, he shouldn't be a bad guy.

Otherwise, the hero would have refused a long time ago, and would not even have given him a chance to speak.

After some conversation, although the hero still had some doubts in his heart, he had already believed eight points. However, despite this, the hero is still very cautious, after all, it is directly related to the success of his career.

At this time, he needs the elders in the family to refer to him and give him a proposal.

As far as the hero is concerned, after a cursory conversation just now, he is still satisfied with Mendes. His humility and sincerity, his eloquence and his understanding of the profession from being a player himself have given him confidence in Mendes' ability to do his job.

What's more, according to Mendes, he has already made a name for himself in Portugal and is not a rookie agent.

Somehow, the hero is already 80% sure that the Portuguese will be his agent for the rest of his career.

What he didn't see was Mendes, who was following him, looking at him with an imminent momentum in his eyes. The hero will be his first step out of Portuguese football and into European football.

This time, he came to Spain to make contact with business. Although he currently only has Portuguese players in his hands, he has been doing business with La Liga for a long time. He once brought Andrade and Pauleta out of Portugal and into Deportivo La Coruna, known as the "Super Laco" in La Liga, where Andrade still plays for Deportivo La Coruna and is firmly in the main position.

On top of that, he's now contemplating the biggest transfer deal he's personally run to date. In this summer, he will bring another Ronaldo in football to the big clubs. At that time, he will also officially have players who have played for the world's top giants.

As a football agent who only started in the industry in 1996, Mendes has undoubtedly been very successful in recent years. But he is not satisfied, from the moment he stepped into the agent industry, he was ambitious to become a new generation of football predators.

To achieve that, he needs to keep signing potential or star players. The latter is obviously too difficult for him now, so the former is his best choice at the moment.

So while he came to Spain to deal with Andrade's affairs, he also took the time to run to various famous youth academies in Spain, among which the famous La Masia was naturally on his list.

It was this observation and visit that brought the hero into his eyes.

Although among La Masia's academy cadets, the hero is not the most conspicuous one. But the experience of running a football video rental and sales store gave him an unusual pair of eyes.

In the hero, he sees some very special qualities, qualities that only great players have.

He will never forget that shocking image.

The hero was playing in an intra-team game and his bench was already three goals down. By that time, his teammates had already given up resistance and continued to play with a dispensable attitude.

Even Mendes, who was watching from the side, put all his energy on the main side, and didn't care about the heroes.

But it was at this time that the hero suddenly burst out in a counterattack that blinded his side.

At that time, the situation was like this, the long ball passed to him by the hero teammate was won by the defender who was marking him by the main side. At the same time, the centre-back also bumped his body with his own body, knocking the hero forward with his center of gravity.

Because it happened to be the hero at this time, he was hit like this, and he saw that his body had fallen forward.

At this time, no one was optimistic about this counterattack from the substitutes, and felt that it was over here, including Mendes.

But the hero didn't, he was the only one who still insisted on this counterattack and hadn't given up yet.

Since Mendes was just behind the goal of the main team at that time, he saw the hero's facial expression and every move very clearly.

He felt that he might never forget this scene for the rest of his life, and in his eyes, the young man who was about to fall to the ground suddenly supported the ground with his hands, and then the whole person stood upside down, and finally completed his own shot with his right heel.

In the face of this amazing blow, the goalkeeper of the main team had no time to react, and could only watch as the football drew a beautiful high throwing arc, and then inserted the crossbar into the goal behind him.

At the same time, the hero himself fell the grass.

However, it was as if he didn't feel pain, and even when he fell to the ground, his head was held high, staring at the soccer ball in the air, as if that was all he had.

It was undoubtedly a stroke of luck, but who can deny that at the moment he was not impressed by the fighting spirit and imagination of this teenager.

After the goal, the hero began to celebrate wildly, and he slammed up from the grass like a nobody.

Then he began to open his hands, roaring, running in celebration, unleashing his burning passion as a shooter.

It's like he didn't score a warm-up goal, but a real professional goal.

For a time, he became the only focus of attention of everyone at the scene.

In the warm afternoon sun, the wanton teenager became the most dazzling protagonist at this moment, shocking everyone, and Mendes was naturally no exception.

However, compared with the hero's shocking scorpion tail swinging goal, what shocked Mendes was the hero's eyes.

Before the goal, the hero's eyes were as fierce as a wolf, and the football turned into a delicious lamb in front of his eyes.

At that time, the hero's eyes gave him the feeling that "you can't stop!" Can't stop!! I'm going to score! Score to the death!! ”

At that moment, he saw in the hero the shadow of a great Italian shooter.

From that day on, Mendes deliberately stayed in Catalonia for a few days, observing him intently without the hero himself knowing.

Soon, he was determined to sign the hero.

But then he struggled with how to convince a young footballer from La Masia to sign a contract with a football agent like him, who was not well known in Spain.

However, just as he was distressed, things suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the hero was driven out of La Masia. After knowing the news, he immediately couldn't sit still. After spending a small fortune, he got the address of the hero's house, and then rushed over without stopping.

And then, there was a series of things just now.

Walking behind the hero, he had already begun to prepare his own rhetoric at this time. He could feel that as long as he convinced the hero's parents, there was a good chance that it would be done.

Soon after Mendes fell into deep thought, the hero led him to the door of Zhonghua Ji.

For her son's rare early return, and also brought a strange foreigner, although Hua Wanli was puzzled, she still invited Mendes into the door very generously and politely.

Then, she learned that this was the agent who Mao Sui recommended herself to the door and wanted to become her baby son's agent.

After knowing the news, although Hua Wanli didn't know whether Mendes was reliable, she was first relieved.

Although she is in favor of her son's continued football career, she is inevitably worried and unsteady when she sees that her son has not yet found a foothold.

At this time, Mendes' visit gave her confidence in the hero's future. After all, if it weren't for his son's strength, others would definitely not come to the door dryly.

Then, soon Chung Hwa Ji hung up a sign that the business was temporarily closed, and the family and Mendes gathered on the second floor to start Mendes' final interview.

More than an hour later, the hero and Mendez shook hands.

The lives of an ambitious agent and a Chinese teenager who regards football as his life are forever entangled at this moment.

At this moment, the lives of the two people were taken off the original track and in a new direction.

And ahead, it seems to be a bright and smooth road.
