Chapter 17: Have pity on you
Lin Sen had no intention of staying in Manchester to accompany Marwood as a fax receiver.
On the first day of the transfer window, he boarded a plane to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, alone, without an interpreter and without an escort. The purpose of his trip was to meet and persuade someone. More than ten hours later, Lin Sen appeared at the international airport of the City of God, and Rinaldi had already picked up the plane at the airport early.
After sending an invitation to Rinaldi, Lin Sen had been waiting for a response from the other party, and he thought that he would not have to wait too long, but the truth is that Rinaldi did not reply to him until yesterday. And then, today he came here.
Welcome to Rio.
Rio de Janeiro is a famous tourist city in Brazil, especially during the carnival, but Brazil in the southern hemisphere is in winter, so it is the quietest time of the year in the city. Once in the car, the two went straight to a restaurant in downtown Rio, where Rinaldi told Sù Linsen, where Ade was already waiting.
Along the way, Lin Sen watched the city from the window of the car with great interest, and the jet lag seemed to have little effect on him. Linsen had never been to Rio de Janeiro, or even Brazil, but Linsen's parents had been here for several years before they left for Spain. There are many tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro, but the only thing Lin Sen can admire when sitting in the car at this time is the most well-known Jesus Mountain in the city.
Look down and open your arms. It is because of this huge statue of Jesus that the city is called the City of God.
It seems that he noticed that Lin Sen had never been to Rio, and since he got on the bus, Rinaldi has been working as a crappy tour guide, introducing Lin Sen to some attractions that are not familiar to Brazilians.
Rinaldi is really grateful for Linson's arrival, not because if Ade signs with Manchester City, he can make money through Ade again. In fact, he almost didn't see Ade as his client, but Rinaldi really couldn't bear to watch such a genius fall in such a way. So, after receiving a call from Lin Sen, Rinaldi quickly went to find Ade.
However, to his dumbfounded, Ade disappeared again. Rinaldi almost turned the city of Rio over, and it wasn't until yesterday that Ade himself appeared in front of him, and then ......
This is your last chance!
Before coming to the airport to pick up Lin Sen. Rinaldi sued Sù Ade in this way, and this sentence was not only sued by Sù Ade, but also sued Sù himself. Because if the talks fall apart this time, then Rinaldi will terminate the brokerage contract with Ade.
For half an hour, Lin Sen was already sitting in a restaurant, which was quiet, and he could see that Rinaldi had made preparations. And sitting next to him was none other than the famous Adriano.
First sight of Adriano. Lin Sen knew that the former king in the eyes of Inter Milan fans had come to the verge of "collapse", and his weight had reached the point where even the visual inspection knew that it exceeded the standard. There was no smile on his face, but Lin Sen knew that his heart was not strict, because what Lin Sen saw from the top of his head was not a dignified look facing his career choice. It's just a piece of transparency.
Transparency can explain a lot of emotion, it can be interpreted as calm, or it can be interpreted as not caring.
"Guimar tells you that you speak Portuguese." It was Ade who spoke first. His voice was a little muffled, "So, I have only one question, why?" ”
Sure enough, it's still this problem. Lin Sen really sighed in his heart, and suddenly thought to himself why he was so hard. He had an infinite number of options, but instead he chose the one with the highest difficulty. Although the rate of return is high once successful, isn't the return proportional to the risk?
Of course, sigh to sigh, since Lin Sen is here, he has no intention of returning empty-handed.
"If I say I'm your fan, do you believe me?"
"Faith!"
Adriano's tone was affirmative, and Lin Sen smiled rather than a smile, and then he asked another question that was almost completely opposite.
"So if I say I just pity you, will you believe it?"
As soon as this question was spoken, not only did the color on the top of Adriano's head directly change to indigo, which represented emotion, but even Rinaldi, who was sitting next to him, showed a puzzled color, obviously he didn't expect Lin Sen to ask Adriano such a question in person.
"I don't need pity!"
When Adriano said this, he had already stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on Lin Sen.
It's really a tiger, although it's a little fatter.
Raising his eyes to look at Adriano, Lin Sen secretly praised in his heart.
When Lin Sen came, Adriano was still sitting, and Lin Sen only felt that he was very fat, but when Lin Sen sat down, and when Adriano stood up at this time, Adriano's figure was really a good embryo at least for athletes.
"No, you need pity." Lin Sen's attitude did not change because of Ade's gesture, he shook his head, waved his hand at Rinaldi, who was about to speak, and looked directly at Ade, "You don't want to play, but you find that you are not good at anything except playing." You want to play football, but you find that people don't believe in you, not even you. So, of course you need to be pitiful, there used to be Inter, there was Sao Paulo, you were still on top, but now, even the chances that Flamengo intends to give you have come with conditions attached. ”
"We Chinese have a saying that the poor must have something to hate. Ronaldo, who is older than you, is still dreaming of the call of the national team, Kaka, who is the same age as you, has won almost all the titles that a player can win, Cristiano, who is younger than you, is already the World Footballer, and the younger Messi will be the World Footballer this year, and you? What are you doing? You can't even take a chance to play, and you're half-hearted. ”
……
Yes, Lin Sen didn't plan to pretend to be a good person, he didn't plan to talk bitterly, he didn't plan to be a mother-in-law, he didn't plan to be serious. Because of these characters, Lin Sen believed that Adriano had seen them all, so Lin Sen chose an attitude that Adriano had never seen before, even if he turned his face directly. Lin Sen also cares about it.
Severe illness requires strong medicine.
Lin Sen's words were almost heart-wrenching.
With every word of Lin Sen, Adriano's face seemed to change, his virtual body seemed to tremble, and the color on the top of his head seemed to change.
Rinaldi next to him was already in a daze: because even he had never tried to say such a thing in front of Adriano, not that he did not dare, but that he never thought about it. Even Mourinho, who rules the army with an iron fist, has always retained some of the most basic respect for Adriano, and now, sitting in front of him, the Chinese who does not look much older than Adriano. But it almost tore the last fig leaf of Adriano.
From England to Brazil, Lin Sen flew across the Atlantic to come here, obviously not just to scold Adriano, but not to talk about good intentions, but definitely not to eat and have nothing to do. Rinaldi knows this in his heart, and he also knows that Adriano is also clear in his heart, because Adriano is disappointing, but he is not stupid.
"Are you going to sit down, or are you going to leave?" After even time seemed to pause briefly because of Lin Sen's words. Lin Sen said lightly, "If you plan to leave, then I will go back to the UK, and I should come for a tour." If you plan to sit down. So, let's talk about what's next. ”
Then, Lin Sen fell silent.
Lin Sen's expression was calm, but he knew. He'd already smashed a huge rock into a pool of stagnant water, and the next could be a huge wave, such as Adriano beating him out of shape. Or it could be quietly, as if Adriano turned and left. But in any case, this pool of stagnant water has just been stirred.
The color on the top of Adriano's head changed from anger to depression, then from depression to doubt, and finally to the color of his first arrival: transparency.
Outcome...... Is it still a pool of stagnant water? When he noticed the color on the top of Adriano's head, Lin Sen frowned slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
At this time, Lin Sen saw Adriano sit down slowly, and then said something slowly.
"What should I do. Mr. Coach. ”
After hearing this, Lin Sen took a deep breath and said secretly in his heart.
It's done! ――
Lin Sen did impress Adriano, or "hurt" Adriano, and there was an element of luck in this. But Lin Sen also knows that the reason why 情xù is called 情xù is because it will change. It's like an exciting speech, it may excite you for an hour, a day, a week, but it can't be a lifetime. This is the same principle as the principle of exhaustion and exhaustion in one go.
Lin Sen can impress Adriano once, but it is impossible to impress him again and again, so the most important takeaway from this conversation is not that Adriano has become a good boy all of a sudden, but that he has established his own image in Adriano's mind.
This image will be an important line.
Now Adriano is like a kite out of control, and he needs a line to let him soar in the air. And what Lin Sen grasped was this line. Next, how to release Ade so that he doesn't hang on the treetops again depends on skill.
Linson spent only one night in Brazil and flew back to Manchester the next day.
Two days later, on July 3, Adriano secretly arrived in Manchester, accompanied by Rinaldi, to undergo a medical examination arranged by Manchester City.
On July 4, Manchester City announced the team's first signing of the summer on its official website: former Inter Milan striker Adriano joined Manchester City on a two-year free transfer. Accompanying the signing announcement was a photo of Linson and Adriano holding up a Manchester City shirt together.
Lin Sen was smiling, and Adriano had a solemn expression. (To be continued......)
PS: In the middle of the night, I didn't expect to see the monthly pass and reward, and I was instantly refreshed.
