Chapter 30: Reyes
Reyes was actually reluctant to leave Seville because his home and family were here and he didn't want to leave his hometown.
The thought of going to that completely unfamiliar place struck him with horror.
He hasn't been away from home for that long.
Although Valencia is in Spain, for Guareyes, it is no different from going abroad.
But Sevilla doesn't care that much.
They only saw four million dollars, and it was not easy for a seventeen-year-old player to be able to buy four million dollars.
Maybe if you wait another season, you won't be able to sell it for that much money.
So they didn't care what Reyes himself thought, they just got it.
When Reyes found out that his club was going to sell him, he returned to his home with a sad face.
His mother, a standard Andalusian matriarch and a housewife who was in control of the whole family, saw that her most promising son was depressed, so she came up and asked, "Did someone bully you during training, dear?" ”
Reyes hung his head and shook it.
"Okay, let me guess then...... Did you miss a kick in training? ”
Reyes continued to bow his head and shake it.
"Is it possible...... Do you have a favorite girl? ”
Reyes was shocked, and finally raised his head and shook it vigorously.
"Alright, tell me, what's wrong with you!" Reyes' mother, Mariana, as the locals call her, looked at Reyes with her hands on her hips.
"Uh...... I. I was notified, club, club...... You're going to sell me! By the end of the day, his eyes had tears in his eyes.
Mariana was stunned for a moment, then her eyes rolled as she reached out and put her arms around Reyes, taking her son into her big bosom.
"That's a good thing, my dear. Why should you be sad? ”
"Because I can't bear you...... Mom...... I don't want to leave the house......" Reyes seemed to find a cathartic gap all of a sudden, and cried directly in his mother's arms.
It's like a child who hasn't grown up yet.
"Don't worry, dear. Where are you going. We'll go wherever we go. ”
After hearing his mother's words, Reyes raised his head in some surprise: "Really? ”
Mariana smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true, because I can't bear you." My dear! ”
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and two men entered, one was Reyes' father, Francisco Brown. Reyes, the other is Reyes' agent Jesus. Rodriguez. Morality. Moya. Comte.
The two men had an unconcealed look of joy on their faces.
Seeing Reyes and Mariana at the door, the two of them were stunned for a moment.
Reyes' father was the first to react: "Mary, go get ready and order some food, we're going to celebrate today, for José!" ”
Mariana easily drove Reyes and agreed with a smile: "Okay! ”
Reyes looked back at his father and his agent in a daze. I don't know if there's anything to celebrate, or if it's for yourself......
Agent Jesús. Rodriguez. Morality. Moya came up and touched Reyes's head as an elder, with a kind face: "Jose, you are going to a bigger and better stage." Do your best when the time comes! Don't disgrace your parents! ”
Reyes's mind was still stuck in the confusion just now, and he just nodded blankly.
So at the family dinner that night, the family made a decision - Reyes moved to Valencia.
Parents in and agent Jesús. Rodriguez haggled over how to get a good contract from Valencia.
During this period, the husband and wife still did not break out into some fierce quarrels, but they would soon return to the issue of interests and discuss them calmly. It's as if the quarrel that took place before didn't exist.
"Salaries can be higher......"
"You're stupid! The salary can be a little less, it doesn't matter, the key is the bonus, the bonus! Valencia are the team that can reach the Champions League final two years in a row, can they lose the title? ”
"You're stupid! Will Jose be able to play if he goes? Those who are awarded this prize and that prize are the moon in the water! Only the salary is the safest! So the salary should be higher! ”
"Oops...... Anyway, you can get as high as you want......"
And Reyes' older brother, Jesus, who is a market name in Spain and is used by I don't know how many people use it, was patting Reyes on the shoulder and laughing: "Great, Jose!" You're about to become a big star! O Valencia! That's the team that has reached the Champions League final two years in a row! ”
In the small room, although there are not many people, it seems to be very lively.
A typical Gypsy family.
※※※
No matter how good the contract Reyes wanted, Reyes was only a seventeen-year-old who only played twenty games in the second division last season, and he lacked proof to prove himself in the first division.
So his contract isn't actually that high.
Reyes' agent Jesus. Rodriguez obviously knows this too, so it's not too much to ask for.
Even so, Reyes' parents were satisfied.
Jose. Antonio. Reyes. Calderón is the most prosperous child in their family, and for the poor Gypsy family, there is a promising child, which is the cash cow of the whole family.
From Seville onwards, Reyes had all his income firmly in his mother's hands, and he would be happy when he gave him some pocket money every month.
On the day of the signing, Reyes' family rushed from Seville to Valencia in the car of his agent Jesús to attend their son's medical examination and signing together.
When Chang Sheng and manager Pitacci signed Reyes on behalf of the club, they were taken aback - the player signed with the whole family. It's the first time they've seen it.
It feels like a parent sending their son to take the college entrance examination......
Chang Sheng remembered the gossip he had seen about Reyes before, and he was sure that all of them should be true......
Reyes's family really attaches great importance to their youngest son, and at the same time, Reyes did not have any embarrassment because the family followed him, so it can be seen that Reyes is indeed a very family-loving ...... Wimpy kid.
Reyes was suddenly taken aback when he saw Chang Sheng, and then looked at Chang Sheng with very frightened eyes.
Chang Sheng grinned at him.
His expression fell into Reyes' eyes like a monster. The mouth can be split to the base of the ear, and a single mouth can swallow his whole person.
"Judging by your expression, you don't know that Valencia is the current manager. Reyes? ”
Chang Sheng smiled.
Reyes's mind went blank and he didn't know what to answer.
He really didn't know that Valencia's head coach was now this Chinese. Because he usually doesn't care at all about the news of other teams except Sevilla, he is concerned about Valencia's hiring of Chang Sheng as head coach. Naturally, I don't know anything.
"Alright, put away your hellish look, Reyes. Don't worry, I won't let people kick your legs again this time, on the contrary, if someone wants to kick your legs, my people will fight with him. Chang Sheng stepped forward and patted Reyes on the shoulder, as if he was familiar with Reyes.
In fact, he and Reyes are indeed very familiar, because he has seen Reyes on TV a lot in his previous life. He is also often used when playing FM games.
But Reyes couldn't let go of his enthusiasm.
He may still not be able to accept his former enemy and become his own manager.
He began to regret his decision to come to Valencia - even though it had nothing to do with him, it was all made for him by his family.
But it's obviously too late to regret it now......
And so he got on the victorious thief ship.
Years later, when Reyes remembered what had happened that day. I can't help but laugh.
It's just that it's no longer frightening, but sweet......

Prior to Reyes' move to Valencia, Kieli. Gonzalez agreed a personal contract with Inter Milan and then moved to Meazza.
He feels like he's escaping a deadly predicament and has a better future ahead of the giants Inter Milan. You can get more championships.
Cooper also got Keeley because he got his wish. Gonzalez, who strengthened the team's left flank, was delighted.
It looks like it's a win-win result......
Ever-winning turns to put Cooper and Keeley. Gonzalez, the two doomed buddies, forgot.
He was also very happy, because if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have thought of recruiting Reyes into his tent.
If he's not mistaken, Sevilla FC have been promoted to the first division this season, and Reyes has played in the main team. And he performed well, and then became famous in one fell swoop.
Although he later went to the Premier League and performed mediocrely, he was still very powerful in La Liga.
Such an excellent potential stock was won by him for four million, and even if he wants to sell it in the future, he can make a lot of money.
After winning Reyes, Chang Sheng announced that Valencia's recruitment and purge this season was successfully completed.
From now on, they won't care about any movement in the transfer market anymore.
Winning has already got the man he wants in the transfer market, Ibrahimovic, Carvalho, Pep Guardiola, Pacoir Ferreira, Villa and Reyes, none of which are wasted.
He also sold redundant players, freeing up more of the team's salary budget and reducing the club's financial burden.
From an economic point of view, he did a good job.
However, from a competitive point of view, how well he is doing will need to be tested in actual combat.
Chang Sheng also understands this truth, a good manager does not rely on the transfer market to prove his ability, unless he is a general manager. In the end, the standard for judging the level of a head coach is still in the competitive performance.
Withdrawing from the transfer market at the start of August would allow the players to relent.
They don't have to worry about being purged now, and they don't have to think about leaving.
Whether they want to or not, they have to stay here for at least half a season, train hard, and strive for more playing opportunities.
Chang Sheng began to practice tactics behind closed doors again.
He seems to have forgotten something, though......
※※※
There is a training ground between Valencia B's training ground and the training ground of the first team.
When Zakhovic finished training, he didn't want to stay in the B team for a second and walked briskly off the pitch and into the dressing room.
He took out his phone: "Isn't there any news yet?" ”
"There was one, but their offers were rejected by Valencia......"
"!"
"There's also bad news, Zlatko. It is often announced that Valencia has ended its actions in the transfer market...... They closed the transfer market early! ”
Zakhovic was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Does this mean that I can't leave now if I want to?" ”
The agent on the other side of the phone sighed helplessly: "It seems to be like this......"
It took a lot of effort for Zakhovic to control the urge to drop his phone on the floor of the locker room, clutching it and yelling: "Damn! Damn it! That damn Chinese slut! Slut - !! ”
A player from the B team pushed in the door, just in time to see that Zahovic, who had been relegated from the first team to the B team, was furious.
They were stunned for a moment, then walked in with their heads down, as if the other party was air, what to do.
Zakhovic also treated the other party as air, and continued to scold Chang Sheng as if no one was around, and said all kinds of ugly words.
It's like a crazy neurotic.
But this kind of angry scolding can't solve any problems, and naturally it can't change his fate.
His fate, from the moment he decided to go against Chang Sheng, had already taken the initiative.
For Zakhovic, he lost the most precious time, and this half of the season, or even a season, he had to spend it in obscurity with the B team, and no one would care about him. Now the players of Team B usually talk about the news that the first team is coming again, who cares about him, the strongest star in Slovenian history who has made 20 appearances in the first team and scored two goals?
So his crazy cursing and cursing always wins.
But for Chang Sheng...... Well, in his busy work, he has completely forgotten about this poor worm who was assigned to Team B! ……)
