"Because I'm handsome."

"If you're a thin-skinned and tender meaty, you're also called handsome? I'm really blind. Grealish complained on the spot.

"Hey, you're looking for a fight, brother, this is pure and flawless."

"Ahh

The two joked and soon returned to the Villa training base.

As soon as he walked into the training base, a reporter greeted him, and it turned out to be the club's team reporter and several major media reporters, who all found Jose.

Unlike Grealish, José doesn't like to deal with the media, but this time he can't afford not to give an interview because it was the club that gave him a task.

In addition, there is a bonus of 5,000 pounds, which is worth a month's salary for Jose.

The whole interview process was not cheerful at all, basically the reporter asked questions, and then José answered mechanically.

"Mr. Jose, I heard that you went to the Manchester United trial last year and ended up choosing to join the Villa Academy, what led you to make that choice?" A reporter suddenly asked.

"Why?" José frowned slightly, then remembered what had happened in Manchester that day.

That day was definitely the saddest day of Jose's life, and if it weren't for Lawlor's scouts using their personal connections to recommend him to the Villa Academy, he would now be able to enjoy the ridicule and stares of others on the school playground.

"Actually, the reason is very simple, I didn't make it through the trial at Manchester United, it was Mr. Kevin who gave me the opportunity to try." José said half-truthfully.

Although José revealed very limited information, it was exciting enough news for a reporter who is good at using the topic to play.

'Mr. José, your performances in the FA Youth Cup have caught the attention of a number of big clubs, if they were to make you an offer now, would you consider leaving [Villa]?"

Hearing the reporter's question, José's expression changed for a moment, and then he returned to normal.

It is naturally a happy thing to have giants paying attention to themselves, but now Jose is still a player in the Villa Academy, and there are some things that cannot be said in front of the media.

'It's a joy for me to have big club recognition, but now you ask me what I would do, I can't tell you the answer, I'm still part of Villa until the club makes a decision.' José replied.

Although this statement is a bit official, José said that it is indeed the truth, and there is no result yet, and he cannot make a decision casually.

"Mr. Jose, can you tell us why you went to the Manchester United tryout?" A reporter asked again.

'The reason is simple, because I love football and I come when I get the chance. José said without hesitation.

"Mr. Jose, the Chinese national team has announced the latest squad, are you unhappy that you didn't make it to the squad?"

In the new squad of the national team, Jose has learned from the Internet not long ago that of course there will be a sense of loss about his failure to enter the squad, but it is not unpleasant.

"I didn't feel unhappy, after all, I am still young, and there will be opportunities in the future." Jose smiled and said lightly.

……

The whole interview lasted more than two hours, and José's attitude remained very modest and his answers were quite tactful.

But the reporters were never very satisfied, and they kept asking José all kinds of questions.

Finally, the interview ended.

After the reporters left, Grealish walked over and gave José a thumbs up: "José, I don't think you have a set of things to deal with reporters." ”

"Hehe, it's okay." Jose smiled faintly.

Since going through two FA Youth Cup finals and finally winning the title, Jose's vision has begun to change, and his whole person has slowly begun to mature.

While Jose and Grealish were chatting, McDonald approached: "You two can watch the game with the senior team tomorrow. ”

Hearing the manager's words, Grealish immediately smiled and said: "Great, I usually have to train, and I haven't been there to watch a few home team games yet." ”

Only Jose, thinking of the agreement with Mendes tomorrow, had to say: "Coach, I'm afraid I won't be able to go." ”

"Oh?"

"You know, I haven't had an agent all along, and just today, Mendes contacted me and he asked me to meet tomorrow." José didn't hide it, in fact, he couldn't hide this kind of thing, and simply said it generously.

"Mendes? Good thing, go ahead. McDonald nodded, not asking Jose to travel with the team.

Mendez's influence in Europe is still huge, and Jose does need an agent to take care of some affairs, so McDonald didn't stand in the way.

After getting the manager's approval, Jose breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few words with Grealish, José returned to his dorm room alone to take a shower.

At eight o'clock the next morning, José boarded the train to Wimanchester.

Before getting in the car, he looked at his watch again, there were still more than two hours left before the appointed time, but for him, this was more than enough.

With Birmingham to Manchester less than a two-hour drive away, Jose was able to catch the time agreed with Mendes.

Having found a seat in the carriage, José closed his eyes and prepared for a good night's sleep, and when he arrived at Winchester, he was in good spirits to meet Mendes.

As the train pulled into the city of Wimanchester, José, who was sitting in the window seat, suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window.

Jose's heart is now filled with mixed emotions about the city that once made him sad, not because of his disgust for the city, but more because of the man named Ed Wardwood in the city.

After getting off the train and calling a taxi, José went straight to the hotel he had agreed with Mendez.

In the hotel room, Méndez was already waiting there, and as soon as José entered, he was warmly embraced by Méndez.

"I'm sorry I couldn't get to Birmingham to see you in person. The season is coming to an end, the summer transfer window is about to open and I need to stay and deal with something. After sitting down, Mendez said apologetically.

Jose nodded, Mendes is a world-renowned super football agent, and naturally he has a lot of busy affairs.

"I'm glad you're here. Whether the cooperation is successful or not, you are my friend. Mendez said.

José smiled and didn't say anything more.

Mendes is not only a high status, but also an elder senior, while Jose is just a young player who is just emerging.

The conversation between the two was very harmonious, and there was almost no hindrance, and Jose agreed to cooperate with Mendes, and entrusted Mendes with all matters related to transfers, contract renewals, portrait advertisements, etc.

"José, do you know how many clubs are interested in you?" At lunch, Mendez asked suddenly.

"I don't know." Jose shook his head, things off the pitch, he really cared very little.

"No less than six, if you had to choose, which one would you want?" Mendez continued.
