When Pan Yi appeared in front of him and was talking to his agent, Lin Liangming remained silent, and he was in a worried mood.

When he first knew he had the opportunity to join a world-class club like Real Madrid, he was of course excited.

But soon he realized that the ideal is beautiful and the reality is skinny.

Even in the youth team of Real Madrid, the competition is so fierce!

Although he was promoted to the reserve team this year, which is Real Madrid's B team, it is clear that the environment here is even worse for him.

The head coach of the B team is Real Madrid's famous Solari, and he does not appreciate Lin Liangming, a young man from the Dragon Kingdom, and has proposed that the club loan him.

Of course, Lin Liangming also agreed with such a suggestion.

He understands that at his age, he has to play more opportunities to improve his game.

In fact, Real Madrid are already in contact with Almeria in La Liga and are ready to send him on loan.

However, the agent also clearly informed Lin Liangming that even if he transferred to Almeria, he would not appear in the first team and could only play for Almeria's B team.

At present, Almeria B is in the Spanish third division, so this means that even if he joins Almeria on loan, he will only be able to play in the third division next season.

In the Spanish football system, La Liga is the first tier, La B is the second tier, and there is a La B B below which is the third tier, so La Liga is actually the fourth tier.

Therefore, after learning that York City, which was promoted to the English League, was interested in him, Lin Liangming was very excited.

How can people also be serious in the third division of the league!

Moreover, as we all know, the lower leagues in England are higher than other leagues in terms of team investment, competitive level, and fierce competition.

The most typical is the Championship, which is also a second-tier league, and compared with Serie B and West B, it simply stands out from the crowd.

And if Lin Liangming can go to York City to play League One, it is obviously much better than going on loan to Almeria B to play in La C.

Not to mention the owner of York City or the most powerful head coach in the world, and also the idol of all football people in the Dragon Country, Pan Yi!

Today, Pan Yi even came to negotiate the contract with the agent in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to Lin Liangming!

At present, Lin Liangming's weekly salary at Real Madrid is only 600 euros, and it is obvious that there will be no obstacles in terms of salary.

The two sides had the intention of having a concubine, and they soon reached a consensus.

"Guided by Pan Yi, I have a question." When Pan Yi shook hands with his agent, Lin Liangming, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"Please." Pan Yi said with a smile.

'When I went to Yorktown, did I stay in the first team? You won't send me out on loan or go to the youth team. ”

"Of course...... No! Pan Yi deliberately lengthened his voice, and when he saw the little guy's worried expression, he laughed mischievously, "You will stay in the first team, I hope to see your outstanding performance in the League One next season!" ”

was able to get the boss's personal confirmation, and Lin Liangming's heart that had been carrying it was put down.

After all, happiness came too suddenly, and he really didn't have much confidence that he would be able to establish himself in England, even if it was only League One.

Everyone knows that Pan Yi has high requirements for his players!

When he was in Hamburg, Pan Yi's cultivation of Wu Lei has become a good story in Dragon Country football.

Now, Lin Liangming has the opportunity to become "Wu Lei's second", which must be because of his identity as a native of the Dragon Kingdom, which he knows very well.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to be mentored under Pan Yi!

Now, he has this opportunity, and he must firmly seize it and give 100% of his efforts!

"Then ......" Pan Yi looked at the other party with a serious expression, "Lin Liangming, are you willing to join York City and become my player?" ”

"I do! I do! Lin Liangming nodded straight and looked excited, "I will train hard and compete hard!" ”

"yes, I'm looking forward to it." Pan Yi laughed and stretched out his hand to Lin Liangming, "Welcome to York City!" ”

——

Lin Liangming's transfer went smoothly and did not encounter any obstacles.

Real Madrid did not put any obstacles in the way of the transfer of the young man from the dragon country, and the transfer documents were officially confirmed by both clubs after the money from York City FC was credited to Real Madrid's account.

As for York City FC, the owner Pan Yi personally came forward and completed the signing process with the young player.

Nineteen-year-old Lin Liangming signed a five-year contract with York City Club, and his weekly salary doubled to 1,200 euros!

The transfer fee paid by York City is 100,000 euros.

Yes, it is lower than the price that Real Madrid bought Lin Liangming from R&F in the first place.

In the words of the Real Madrid official in charge of the transfer of the second team, "Make a friend and hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future!" ”

——

Vancouver, Canada.

Alfonso Davies' home.

"Son, okay? Hurry up, the movie is about to start! Old Davis shouted at a loud voice.

"Alright, alright, wait until I'm done playing this game!" Little Davis's voice rang out as well.

Alfonso Davies was born on 2 November 2000 in a refugee camp in Ghana called Budubulam.

In 2005, Davis and his family came to Windsor, Ontario, Canada, as refugees.

In 2006, Davis and his family moved to Edmonton.

In 2014, Major League Soccer's Vancouver White Waves Soccer Club spotted Davis and offered him a tryout.

In February 2016, Davis officially signed with the Vancouver White Waves reserve team, becoming the youngest player in the history of the American Soccer League (the third division of the United States).

In April 2016, Davis made his debut for the Whitecap reserve team, and in May, Davis scored his first goal for the reserve team.

And he is Pan Yi's next target. Another premium item!

Because in a few months, Davis Jr. will be promoted to the first team of the Vancouver Whites to play in the first division of the MLS, and it will start to attract the attention of the world.

Then after two years of excellent performances, he will be favored by the European giants Bayern Munich, and at the age of 18, he became the main force of Bayern, and has since embarked on the road to stardom.

Alphonso Davies' speed, technique, and ability to run off the ball are excellent, and he is excellent in attack and defense at left-back, and many people think that he is the best choice for the "world's first left"!

Luckily, this "premium product" hasn't attracted too much attention yet, so it's time to get started!

Today, Davis and his son took advantage of the break in the game to watch the movie "Warcraft" that had just been released.

After all, Alphonso Davies is now playing professionally, but he is only a child under the age of 16!

He still needs his father's company, and he also likes to play games and watch all kinds of movies.

"Son, someone knocks on the door, you go open the door first, and I'll take my wallet."

"Got it, Dad."

The door opened, the golden sunlight shone in, and Alfonso Davis squinted, and then he saw a handsome Asian face.

In Vancouver, it's not unusual to see an Asian, or even a Chinese.

Chinese Americans alone account for more than 20% of the population in Vancouver, which can be said to be everywhere.

However, there are really few who are as handsome as in front of them!

Alfonso Davies also immediately recognized who this man was.

"Ah, it's Pan Yi! It's Mr. Pan Yi! Dad, come and see, it's your favorite Pan Yi! ”

"Hello, Alfonso." Pan Yi smiled, "Don't you invite me in?" ”

"Son, who is it?" Old Davis shouted. He didn't hear what little Davis was yelling about, because the little guy seemed too excited.

"Hello, I'm Pan Yi."

Soon, this handsome face also appeared in front of old Davis's eyes.

"Ah...... Hello hello hello! I...... Can I hug you? Old Davis's enthusiasm surprised Pan Yi.

But when he was ushered into the room, it was instantly understood.

In the lobby of the room, in addition to hanging a photo of Davis Jr. wearing the Vancouver Whitewaves jersey, Chelsea elements can be seen everywhere!

Family portrait of Chelsea in 2015-2016, photo of John Terry lifting the Champions League trophy, group photo of the seven champions of the season, water glasses, flags, scarves with Chelsea logo......

It's a family of Chelsea fans!

And in the middle of the hall is a photo of Pan Yi directing the game on the sidelines!

This shows that old Davis is still Pan Yi's "fan brother"!

'My dad watches Chelsea every weekend, so I'm a Chelsea fan too!' Davies Jr. has also announced his status as a Blues fan.

"You're the savior of our Chelsea!" Old Davis was almost in tears, and was about to hold Pan Yi's hand to express his feelings, when he suddenly reacted, "Hey, but what are you doing at our house today?" ”

"What do you say?" Pan Yi smiled.

"You've got a crush on my son!" Davies Sr.'s eyes widened, but he patted his head again, "No, you're not with us at Chelsea anymore." ”

"But that doesn't stop me from wanting to bring your son to Europe." Pan Yi said with a smile, "I am here today to invite Alphonso to join the team on behalf of York City FC. ”

"Ah......h

And little Davis interjected: "Dad, then we still haven't watched this Warcraft movie?" ”

Pan Yi turned his head and asked, "Have you ever played World of Warcraft?" Or Warcraft? ”

Little Davis shook his head: "I prefer to play FIFA games." ”

"Then don't look at it." Pan Yi waved his finger at him, "If you have played World of Warcraft, you can still take a look at it with your feelings." But if it's a passerby, this movie is actually nothing to watch. ”

"You've seen it?"

"No! Let me tell you, the plot in it is actually very different from the game. For example, the archmage Medivan ......"

Just as Pan Yi was excitedly spoiling, old Davis only now came to his senses and asked, "Dear Mr. Pan Yi, do you mean to let my son go to England to play in League One?" ”

"That's right."

"However, a few days ago, Vancouver Bailang just informed me that he was ready to officially play in the MLS. The new professional contract will also be sent in a few days......"

"With all due respect, with your son's current situation, it's not a good choice." Pan Yi said categorically.

This is, of course, nonsense to scare old Davis.

Now York City is a weak chicken, and if you want to attract the other party to join, you can't say that the other party is a genius or anything.

Otherwise, everyone thinks of themselves as geniuses, and don't they all shout out sky-high prices? And it doesn't necessarily go to League One anymore.

"Mr. Pan, why do you say that?"

Sure enough, old Davis looked nervous and pulled a chair and sat down.

As a loyal Chelsea fan, of course he is a god to Pan Yi, and of course Pan Yi's words must be listened to carefully, not to mention that this is an important event about his son's future!

"First of all, I personally think that the current environment in the MLS is not suitable for a young player like Davis Jr." Pan Yi's expression was serious, "There is no promotion or relegation, lack of pressure, emphasis on business over competition, and poor mass base ......"

Of course, this Pan Yi is not talking nonsense, and there is a certain factual basis.

The MLS has been getting better and better lately, and has attracted a lot of old stars to join, but unlike the community-based football in Europe, the Americans still have money to open the way and everything is on the same level as commercialization.

Their format is similar to that of the NBA, the draft, the playoffs and so on, and they are also divided into east and west, and then there is no promotion or relegation.

This leads to the fact that the game is played almost completely, just like the NBA, there are teams that are rotten or something, and it is difficult to basically fight from start to finish like the Euroleague.

"This kind of league is not suitable for the development of young players, and it will affect their correct concept of the game."

Hearing Pan Yi say this, old Davis showed a look of surprise.

Good guy, he casually said a few words, as if the MLS was about to end at any moment.

However, the problem is that old Davis actually thinks that what the other party said makes sense!

Pan Yi saw the change in old Davis's expression in his eyes, and he was also very pleased, it was good to listen to it!

I didn't expect Alphonso Davies and his family to be Chelsea fans, which is really a lot of trouble.

'What's the most important thing for a young player?' Pan Yi asked again.

But this time he didn't ask Davis Sr., but looked at Davis Jr.

"Yes......" Alphonso Davies hesitated, "I think I can play." ”

"Quite right." Pan Yi applauded, "Yes, play the game." You're not yet 16 years old, and it's more important than anything else to be able to play. But are you sure you can jump straight from the reserve team to the first team and then play in the first division? Are you sure you're such a genius? ”

"Hmm...... I do not know. Alphonso Davies was even more hesitant.

"I don't deny that you have good talent and abilities, but one thing has to be mentioned." Pan Yi spoke eloquently, and then turned his face to old Davis.

'In the first team, he has a lot of competitive pressure. It's a struggle, and he needs to live with the loneliness on the bench first, and he needs good chances. ”

"However, it is difficult to explain such a thing as opportunity. We have to face up to the fact that he is likely to spend the first time, or even a short period of time, on the bench. ”

"A lot of players just waste time on the bench and waste time, and the final development results are not satisfactory. As a father, you don't want your son to be a second- or third-rate player, right? ”

Old Davis opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

He admitted that Pan Yi was telling the truth. It is almost difficult for the young Davis Jr. to play steadily in the first team of the MLS as soon as he comes up, and he starts more from the bench.

It could also be loaned out, but that could be even more of a problem.

Frequent loan transfers, each of which forces players to adapt to a new team, a new coach, is a huge challenge for young players.

Of course, old Davis is not a traverser like Pan Yi, he has opened his eyes.

He wouldn't have been so worried if he had known that Alphonso Davies had in fact established himself in the first team of Vancouver Waves and ended up landing in Europe to join a giant like Bayern.

"I see what you mean, Mr. Pan Yi." Davis Sr. swallowed and said, "You mean, if my son joins your team, he will get more playing time." Is it? ”

"That's right." Pan Yi nodded affirmatively.

For such a "prodigy" player, he certainly will not hesitate to give such a promise.

There is certainly no problem with playing League One for a figure who can make a name for himself in the MLS.

What's more, Alphonso Davies has grown up so quickly that he was even selected for the Canadian national team before he was 17 years old......

"This ......" The two Davis glanced at each other, and the father and son scratched their heads in unison.

Although the elder Davies regarded Pan Yi as an idol, and although he listened to Pan Yi's words, he also admitted that this guy had a lot of sense, but between going to the ocean to join an English third-tier team and staying at home to play in the first-tier, he still subconsciously leaned towards the latter.

"And, one more thing." Without waiting for the father and son pair to speak, Pan Yi continued, "In my team, there are several champions who have just won the European Championship, including Shelström, Isaksen, Kulusevski and so on. I believe that by their side, Davis will be able to learn and grow better and faster. ”

Then, Pan Yi clapped his hands: "What I want to say, I've finished it." Mr. Davis, and children, you can think about it carefully. ”

"Without delaying your time, I'll stay in Vancouver until tomorrow morning, and then I'll leave Canada." Before eight o'clock tomorrow morning, if you have any ideas, you can call me directly. ”

——

Looking at the back of Pan Yi leaving, little Davis looked at his father, "Dad......"

Psychologically, he was moved by Pan Yi's words, and, most importantly, he had a good impression of Pan Yi.

Nonsense, everyone knows what kind of achievements the young players who are favored by Pan Yi will achieve!

Not to mention, in the just-concluded European Cup, Isak and Kulusevski, who were temporarily recruited by Pan Yi into the Swedish national team, both showed amazing progress in that short period of one month!

They're just a little bit older than Alfonso Davies.

"Son, what do you think?" Old Davis asked his son.

Why wouldn't he want to? Pan Yi is his idol after all!

But now that the family has just settled down in Vancouver, they are about to leave for England across the ocean......

The weather is bad and the food is unpalatable......

And it's not about playing in the top league.

It's really hard to decide!

He didn't promise Pan Yi on the spot, mainly because he wanted to talk to his son again to see what his son really thought.

"Dad, I'm ......" Little Davis glanced at Dad, and wanted to say something, but he was a little hesitant.

"Son, say what you really think, and I will respect your personal opinion as much as possible." "Unless I think you're thinking you're going very wrong," said Davis Sr., "I'm not going to interfere." ”

"Dad, I want to go to Yorktown." Alfonso Davis said, with a serious expression.

"Why?" Davis Sr. asked.

"Because I can feel that Mr. Pan Yi really appreciates me." "My instincts tell me that if I follow him, I'm going to succeed!" ”

"You go on."

'He's not a coach anymore, but he's a guy who loves football and he's definitely going to help his club. So you don't have to worry about that either. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to us from such a distant place himself! ”

"Good son, you think so thoughtfully, it seems that you have really grown up." Old Davis patted his son's head, "I'll think about it again." I promise, I'll seriously consider it. ”

——

In the hotel, Pan Yi was lying on the bed, in the shape of "Tai".

To be honest, he wasn't very sure about taking Alphonso Davies.

As a League One team, York City's attraction to many players is indeed too low.

Pan Yi had already done everything he could, even going against his always pure and kind character and deliberately saying something that was contrary to the facts of the future.

He really made a huge sacrifice for the sake of the team!

If Alphonso Davies really doesn't come, then he'll have to go to plan B. That's ......

Just then, the phone rang.

Seeing the call, Pan Yi sat up suddenly, and his eyes seemed to be glowing.

"Hello, Mr. Pan Yi, I didn't disturb your rest." Davis Sr. said.

"Hahaha, no, no." Pan Yi smiled heartily, "I've been waiting for your call, Mr. Davis." ”

"Mr. Pan Yi." Davies Sr. said, "Alfonso and I have thought it over and decided to accept your offer to join York City. ”

"It's amazing." Pan Yi said loudly, "I'll rush over now." ”

"Now?" Davis Sr. was surprised.

"That's right." Pan Yi said, "It's not that I don't believe in your promise, Mr. Davis, it's that I attach too much importance to your son, and when I see you signing the contract, I can sleep peacefully, otherwise I won't be able to sleep." ”

"Hahaha, okay, we'll wait for you at home." Old Davis also said happily.

Pan Yi, as a recognized Shiyi Sect, values his son so much, and old Davis also has a light on his face!

This is also the pride of the Davis family!

An hour later, a contract was signed at Davis' home.

With Alphonso Davies still under the age of 16 and his contract with Vancouver Whitewaves unofficial, the club's agreement with the player is the most important thing.

Davis Sr. is Davis Jr.'s current agent, which is also a relatively common situation in football.

When players are young, in order to avoid being deceived by agents, it is generally family members who handle brokerage matters such as signings.

Although this method also has various drawbacks, however, for now, this will help Pan Yi sign Davis, if there is an agent, I am afraid that Pan Yi will have to work harder.

"Mr. Davis, welcome to Yorktown." Pan Yi shook hands with little Davis, and specially spoke to little Davis in the tone of an adult.

"Thank you, Mr. Pan Yi." Alphonso Davies was also excited, "I'll try to perform. ”

Davis Sr. also opened a bottle of champagne, and the three of them clinked glasses to celebrate the signing of the contract.

In the end, old Davis frowned, and asked Pan Yi again: "By the way, Mr. Pan Yi, why did you suddenly think of coming to Canada to sign my son?" Do you usually follow the games of the third division in the United States? ”

Pan Yi smiled and patted old Davis on the shoulder:

"If now I say that your son is a genius and has caught my attention, will you believe it?"
