Volume 1 Chapter 57 Your Son Belongs to Ajax!

There have been many fans who care about Brazilian football have raised such doubts, why are so many Brazilian players who mix well in Europe are not loved by fans at all in Brazil?

It's like Rivaldo, when Europe was in full swing, the Brazilian fans didn't like him at all.

And like Kaka, this player's style is also in the category of unpleasant in Brazil.

On the contrary, the single prodigy like Denilson, who has been terrible in Europe but very likable in Brazil, has won him numerous accolades, and some even regard him as a representative of the samba football renaissance.

Perhaps, the practical, concise style that is admired in the Europa League will be crowned clumsy in Brazil, because they are more admired for the kind of delicate technique that uses their own delicate skills to control the ball at their feet as if by magic, shuttle through the pitch, pass multiple players in a row, dribble past the goalkeeper, and have to knock the ball in with their heels.

That's what art is called!

Every country, every region has its own style preferences, and that's understandable.

However, there will definitely be a group of people who will be hit hard because of this.

For example, at the Club World Championships in early 2000 six months ago, Juninho Jr. complained to reporters.

Or maybe it's the 18-year-old boy standing next to the Heliberto Stadium in the small mountain town of Crisieuma in southern Brazil, silently watching the staff clean the pitch.

The Heliberto Stadium is the only football stadium in Crisieuma because there is only one football club, also known as Crisieuma, which was relegated from the Brazilian second division at the end of last year to the third division.

This is a professional club that is only insignificant in Brazilian football, but it is registered with the Football Association.

A fierce game has just ended, and there are still a lot of debris left behind after the enthusiastic carnival of fans, and the bad turf on the field is gradually returning to flatness under the tidying and trampling of the staff.

It seems flat!

McCone thought of this, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because it was precisely this piece of grass that was not flat at all that had become his most realistic desire, and he hoped that he could show his strength here and let everyone see him.

In his heart, there is always a wish that he wants to become a professional footballer!

His father, a football coach who now works for Chrissiouma, sent him to play in Gremio's youth team when he was 13 years old, but a few months later they rejected McConn, who was playing in midfield on the grounds that he was too clumsy and physically inadequate.

In the eyes of all Brazilians, it is difficult for a man who moves clumsilyly to become a star, they prefer the type of Ronaldinho, and they give the assessment of players who are more practical, at least in possession.

Eventually, he had to return to his hometown of Chrisieuma, where he remained until now.

In the past few years, he has worked hard to improve his body, and his position has changed from the original midfielder to the current defender, but he has never been able to play for the first team.

He was eager for such an opportunity!

"McConn!" Manuel, the father, stood behind him and looked at his son, sighed, interrupting his train of thought.

"It's time to go home!"

McCone nodded silently, followed behind his father, walked to the exit of the court, and did not forget to glance back at the grass-green turf, which was a green field, his dream, and the place where he was eager to prove himself, but it was so far away from him that he was a little skeptical that he had such an opportunity.

"The first team is ambitious this season, and if you want to return to the second league, you know, if you go to the second division, there will be more people paying attention, so you have to perform well, I believe that you will be able to find opportunities in the first team, and if you can't, go outside and give it a try!" Manuel walked ahead and said lightly.

He was also a former player and now the manager of the junior team, so he knows very well what is going on in Brazilian football today.

Defenders have always been the type that is not taken seriously, even if there are geniuses like Carlos and Cafu.

Therefore, in Manuel's opinion, if his son can establish himself in the Brazilian league and can support himself with football, it will be enough, he does not have too many demands.

"I know it, father!" McConn was behind him, nodding in agreement.

The two walked out of the court and walked down the street.

Krissiuma is actually not big, and the neighborhood is so small that you can walk to your home.

Passing by the newsstand, Manuel pulled out a coin and bought a copy of Reims Sport, the most influential sports-related newspaper in Brazil, most of which was devoted to football.

Reading the newspaper as he walked, Manuel saw a message and smiled.

"Look at McConn!" Father pointed with his hand.

McCone took two steps forward, leaned in, and saw a news story in one of the small sections.

Lucio, the main central defender of Porto Alegre in Porto Alegre, who is not far from Crisieuma, transferred to traditional Dutch giants Ajax for $2.5 million, a small transfer that has attracted domestic media coverage, especially Reims Sport, which focuses on football.

"Lucio also performed well last year, was selected for the national Olympic team this year, is going to the Sydney Olympics, and now he has joined Ajax and left Brazil, and the future is bright!" Manuel said with a sigh.

Almost all Brazilian players want to leave Brazil, because here, the salary is low, there are many games, and the environment is still very complicated, but in Europe, there are not many games all year round, but the salary is very high, the benefits are good, and the social security and everything is quite good, and playing there is more likely to be known by fans all over the world.

McConn listened, and a wave of envy was projected in his eyes, but it quickly turned to bitterness.

A guy who can't even play in the first team of the third division, why talk about going abroad?

"So, McConn, as long as you have enough strength, you will definitely be able to come out!" Manuel did not forget to educate his son, and he hoped that McCone would follow Lucio's example and train and compete hard to strengthen himself.

"I know it, father!" McConn nodded.

The two fathers and sons walked home without saying a word all the way.

Because my father is a football coach, their home is not bad, a two-story old bungalow.

"Why did you come back?" As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard my mother come out of the house and complain.

"What's wrong?" Manuel asked.

"Just now the club called and said they were looking for you and McConn, and I heard that they were going to sell McConn."

"What?" Manuel and McCone were taken aback.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that you have offended someone? Where are they going to sell McConn? Can you still play football? Mother began to cry as she spoke.

Manuel was shocked, but in the end, it was a man, he quickly stabilized his emotions, calmed down, and thought about it carefully, he had always been careful in doing things, and he hadn't offended anyone, so how could he suddenly sell McConn for no reason?

Thinking of this, he immediately walked over, grabbed the phone, pressed the number, and called.

McCone also stood behind his father with a worried face, waiting for the latest news.

"I'm Manuel, Giulio, and I've heard that you're going to sell my son, is that true?"

A man's voice came out of the receiver of the phone, so loud that everyone around could hear it, "Yes, Manuel, I want to congratulate you, your son has taken a fancy to an amazing team." ”

"Amazing team?" Manuel was stunned, "Don't be kidding, why do you want to sell my son?" He's been doing really well since he switched to fullback, so why sell him? Speaking of the worst, Manuel even burst out of the green tendons, which shows that his heart is also full of anger, the anger of being betrayed.

Seeing his father, who was always cautious and kind to others, now yelling at the manager of the club, McCone was indescribably moved, because he knew that everything his father did was for him.

"Manuel, don't worry, listen to me!" Julio on the phone was not angry at all, but smiled, "Let me tell you, which club has taken a fancy to your son?" ”

"I don't know the way, and I don't want to know the way, I won't let my son transfer!" Manuel said firmly.

Julio on the other side of the phone laughed, "Don't be stupid, Manuel, if you know the name of this club, you will definitely agree, you will be crazy, believe me, friend!" ”

Manuel and Giulio seemed to be on good terms, but when they heard him say this, they were suspicious.

"Which club, then, do you say?" Manuel suppressed the anger in his heart.

"It's higher than Krissiuma, guess what!" Julio was not in a hurry, and laughed and played dumb riddles.

"From the second league?"

"No, no, no, taller than all of them!"

When Manuel heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked back at his son, and his heart was occupied by a wave of ecstasy, "Is it the team of the Brazilian league?" Oh my God, how could they look down on my son? ”

When McCone heard this, his heart was also blocked by ecstasy, the Brazilian league, a league he never dreamed of!

"No, no, Manuel, you're still underestimating!" Julio laughed.

"Still underestimated?" Manuel was stunned for a moment, but soon, he got angry again, "I said, Giulio, I'm not in a good mood right now, especially I don't like people to joke about my son, you'd better not mess with me!" ”

"I'll tell you the truth, Manuel, you kid must invite me to dinner, because I answered the phone, let me tell you this, a team in Europe has taken a fancy to your son!"

"Europe?" Manuel had a feeling of being stunned, his head buzzing, and he was confused.

Europe, that's a great place for all Brazilian players to dream of, even if it's going to the second- and third-rate leagues in Europe, it's much better than playing in the third division in Brazil.

"You're stunned, aren't you?" "I'll tell you again, this club is bigger than the sky, and their head coach came straight to Brazil to bring your son to Europe. ”

After a pause, Julio laughed, "If your son plays in this club, he will be a first-class star in Europe, and then your old boy will laugh in his dreams!" ”

"Hehe......" Manuel was a little amused at this moment, "Giulio, I'll invite you to dinner, you tell me, which club?" Which country? ”

"Holland, Ajax!" The name was said on the other side of the phone.

"Ajax?" Manuel's hand shook, and the call almost dropped.

Not only him, but McConn, who was standing beside him, almost tilted his body, and he was frightened.

Ajax is a well-known giant team in the world, have you taken a fancy to him?

"Yes, Ajax!"

"The Ajax who brought in Lucio?" Manuel also needs to make sure.

Giulio laughed, "That's right, it's that club, their manager lives in Porto Alegre now, they have already negotiated the transfer of Lucio with the international team, and they plan to come to our club tomorrow and meet with you." ”

"You...... Didn't lie to me? Manuel couldn't believe his ears.

"What did I lie to you?" Giulio knew that Manuel must be crazy.

"That'...... Did the club say yes? ”

"Promised, $500,000, your son belongs to Ajax!"

After Manuel heard this, tears fell down in anger, he never dreamed, no, he never dreamed that his son would be able to play abroad one day, and he would still play at the European giants Ajax, that was simply ......

At the end of the day, Manuel didn't know what else Giulio said, he forgot how he hung up the phone, the only thing he still remembered was that his son was going to join Ajax and was going to play in Amsterdam, the Netherlands!

"Is this true?" McCone waited until his father hung up the phone, then looked at his father in disbelief.

Manuel couldn't help nodding and hugged McCone directly, "Yes, my child, you're going to the Netherlands to play in the best team in Europe!" ”

After arriving at the end, the family completely entered the carnival and celebrated vigorously.

…………

…………

Seeing Mai Kong, Ye Qiu really didn't expect that the future No. 1 right-back in the world would not be able to play in the Brazilian League now.

This life experience is really fickle!

Who knows now that McCone will become the world's No. 1 right-back in a few years?

Than Gilberto? The transfer of Silva and Lucio is more convenient because McCone does not have an agent, and the ownership is in his own hands, so everything is easy to operate and directly handed over to Lucas, who promised to do everything for Ye Qiu and Ajax.

Meeting with McCone and his family, Ye Qiu felt the surprise and joy in their hearts, but McConn's father Manuel kept admonishing McCone to train hard and play hard to make his debut in the first team of Ajax.

Ye Qiu also attached great importance to McConn, and specially focused on learning about McConn's situation in Krissiuma, and then chatted with McConn's father for a while, and after the two sides signed an agreement, McConn officially belonged to the Ajax players.

When Ye Qiu and Bobby, who is far away in Amsterdam? After Harms got in touch and spoke to him about the latest developments, Bobby? Harms also reported to Ye Qiu on the transfer progress of Ajax.

Conope ended up moving to Heerenveen for $7.5 million, which was also a blockbuster transfer for Heerenveen this summer.

Scoring 15 goals in 33 league games, Conope's performance last season was indeed very eye-catching, attracting the attention of many clubs, which is why he was able to sell at this price, but only Ye Qiu himself knows that Conope's performance has his peculiarities.

The players themselves want to leave, Ye Qiu has no intention of staying, and some clubs are willing to pay a high price, of course Ye Qiu will release him directly.

As a result, the transfer has been carried out so far, Ajax has sold 3 players and received $12 million in transfer income, which surprised everyone in Ye Qiu and Ajax, and it must be considered that the club's most valuable Glen Charles is still in his hands, which is the real owner.

Up to now, Ye Qiu really has to admire Eliza's ability to operate, this Nizi's transfer strategy is the reason why the team has been sold at a high price one after another, especially in the transfer of Conope, she took advantage of the competitive psychology of many clubs, and raised the price to 7.5 million US dollars, not discounted, paid in a lump sum, which is really good.

However, it is Heerenveen who can participate in the Champions League next season, so they are willing to bring in Huizinger and Konope one after another.

In the next period of time, Ajax will focus on transferring several veterans and players who are not liked by Ye Qiu.

"Bobby, Van der Meyde has returned from FC Twente, you look for a chance to meet him, I will give him more chances in the new season!" Ye Qiu was very impressed with Van der Meyde.

The Ajax academy player, now 20 years old, was loaned to FC Twente by Ajax last year and performed very well, Twente intends to keep Van der Meyde, but Ye Qiu wants the player to stay in the team, because he knows very well that Van der Meyde's quality and potential are very good, and later joined Inter Milan.

"I know, I'll find a chance to talk to him!" Bobby? Harms smiled and agreed.

Is Bobby in Amsterdam? Harms was in charge, and Ye Qiu was very relieved.

Brought in McConn, Lucio, and Gilberto? After Silva, plus Kifu, Heitinga, Abidal, De Jong, Maduro and others, Ajax's midfield and backfield are basically the same.

Ye Qiu is going to focus on bringing in a midfielder and a center forward, while also improving the bench thickness in various positions.

After all, the league schedule is so long and there are so many games, and a single set of lineups is not enough to cope with the whole season, so Ye Qiu also attaches great importance to the thickness of the bench, and even in his opinion, the thickness of the bench is the key factor that determines whether a team can go to the bottom, so he also attaches great importance to this.

Selling the player got an income of $12 million, and now Ye Qiu still has nearly $20 million in his hands, so he is not worried about the transfer fee at all, but is worried about being preempted.

Therefore, after finalizing McConn's transfer, Ye Qiu left Brazil non-stop and returned to Europe.
