"Hi sir, I'm Brimmaud, Arsenal's scout, and I would very much like you to come to our trial.'

"Sir, it's great to meet you and your nephew, I'm Liverpool scout Taylor and we would very much like this lad to come and play at our club."

"Oh! I'll come first, I'll come first! Let me start by saying, Mr. Li Zhiqiang, I am Castile...."

"I'm from La Masia..."

"I'm AC Milan..."

Leaving Pinal's office, Chen Mo and Li Zhiqiang had just walked out of the gate of the training ground when a large group of scouts surrounded them.

The scene was chattering, making Chen Mo have a headache, Li Zhiqiang was ruddy, with a gentlemanly smile on his face, he accepted the business cards one by one, and immediately took Chen Mo into the taxi after dealing with a few words.

Chen Mo turned his head and looked at the enthusiastic scouts on the side of the road through the car window, and muttered in his mouth: "Uncle, it seems that this time, we are going to develop?" ”

"Hahahaha! That's right! Xiao Mo! You've done so well this time! No one would refuse a genius like you except that layman from Pinal! But.. Now it's up to us to decide, so we can't easily agree to them, we have to go back and discuss it and find the best team for you. ”

Li Zhiqiang looked at the business cards in his hand and began to choose them one by one.

As a former professional footballer, he knows very well that talent is important for a player, but it is even more important to have the right stage where he can fully display his talent.

In his eyes, Chen Mo's personality is very confident and independent, and in terms of playing style, he also likes to control the whole court and mobilize the feeling of opponents and teammates.

This style of play requires a lot of possession and a tactical tilt towards him.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiqiang first passed La Masia and Castile.

The former is the Barcelona Academy, the latter is the Real Madrid Academy, these two youth camps are indeed very powerful, and there have been many great players, but in the same way, there are many deep water kings and many talented youth camps, Chen Mo will not necessarily be used as the core to cultivate.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiqiang took out a business card: "Xiao Mo, do you want to play in the Bundesliga?" Borussia Dortmund's youth training is also very good. ”

Chen Mo looked out the window and shook his head: "I don't want to go, it's so tiring to learn German." ”

“...”

The corners of Li Zhiqiang's mouth twitched, and it hurt very much.

.

Early the next morning, Pinal, who wore a suit and collar, drove his favorite Mercedes to the club as usual to report.

As sporting director, he held a high position and used to be greeted by staff as soon as he entered the club's door, but today it seems a little different.

The doorman had a constipated expression on his face that he wanted to say but didn't dare to say, and the staff avoided him from afar.

"What's going on?"

"Do I have anything unclean on me?"

"Nope."

Pulling his head and looking behind him, there was nothing, Pinar was puzzled, and at this moment a female white-collar worker walked up to him: "Mr. Pinal, Mr. Jeremy Pease is waiting for you in the conference room, please go now." ”

Jeremy?

Pienaar was stunned, Jeremy is the owner of the team, he usually doesn't come to the club so early.

With doubts in mind, Pinar pushed open the door to the conference room.

As soon as the door opened, four pairs of eyes stared.

Jeremy, the owner.

First-team manager Sasić.

Ball scout head Jeff.

and Academy B coach Pep Guardila.

"Boss, you're looking for me?"

Facing his boss Jeremy, Pinar bent down and bowed, looking very humble and capable.

Jeremy is a big fat man, he smoked a cigarette and threw the scouting report on the table, "I heard that yesterday an Argentine boy named Chen Mo came to try out, and then you rejected him on the grounds that he had no talent?" ”

Hearing this, Pienal was stunned, the corner of his eyes swept to Guardilla, who was full of anger, and thought it was the other party's complaint, so he hurriedly said: "Yes BOSS, although that little boy is an Argentine, he is in contact with football in Dragon Country, you know Dragon Country football, and his performance on the field is not good." ”

Jeremy raised his eyelids: "Can't behave?" Are you sure you've seen him on the field with your own eyes? Do you remember where he played yesterday? ”

"Uh... This.."

Pienaar was embarrassed, he knew everything about Chen Mo from the reports given by other teams, and in fact, he had never seen Chen Mo play football with his own eyes.

This kind of thing is dereliction of duty, naturally he can't tell the leader frankly, he hurriedly lied: "BOSS, I took a look at that little guy's game twice, and found that he didn't have any talent, and then he didn't..."

"No talent? Mr. Pinal, are you sure that kid has no talent? Eighteen academies, including La Masia, Castilla and Manchester United's academy, came to the door and wanted him to join. Do you know what you've made us miss?! ”

Guardilla interrupted him, and his voice grew louder and louder, almost yelling at the end.

Pierre was stunned again, and before he could turn his head, Jeremy tapped his finger on the table and said, "That kid is a genius, and a rare genius of the core type of midfielder." ”

Hearing this, Pinar understood, but he was not very panicked because of his political experience, and explained stubbornly: "Boss, I'm sorry, I looked away in a hurry. However, that child is only 13 years old this year, and no one can say what will happen in the future, he has half of the dragon blood, and the physical fitness of the dragon country people is difficult to adapt to our Premier League field. And didn't we set the goal of "making the Premier League the first priority in three years" at the meeting? We don't have time to wait for him to grow up, and there is no need to bet on his future growth, our task now is to buy instant combat power, as long as we can be promoted to the Premier League, there will be no shortage of talented children! ”

Jeremy thought for a moment and nodded: "What you say makes sense, but it can't hide the fact that you work loosely, if I find out that you work with this attitude, you won't need it." ”

Although Chen Mo is now a sweetheart, various youth camps are rushing to ask for it, but just like Pinal, Jeremy actually doesn't pay too much attention to it, as the owner of the team, the academy is only a small part of his attention, he has seen too many players with different talents when he was a child and mediocre strength when he grows up, and his main purpose this time is to take the opportunity to beat Pinal.

"I understand the boss, please see my performance in the future."

"I'm looking forward to it, okay, I still have something to do, let's go first."

"Boss go slowly!"

Pienal respectfully opened the door to see Jeremy away, and after making sure that Jeremy was leaving, he shook his collar arrogantly, and looked at the angry Guardilla and Sasic with a little mockery: "Angry? Any idea why the boss didn't blame me? Actually, the two of you are really stupid, as subordinates, the first thing to think about is what the boss wants, not what you should do. ”

Guardilla scolded: "Disgusting guy, if you continue like this, our youth training will be ruined!" Youth is the root of a club! ”

"Don't laugh at me."

"As long as we enter the Premier League, we can attract more sponsors, more sponsors represent more transfer budgets, and more budgets allow us to go directly to the transfer market to buy players." What's more, you don't really think that a kid who is exposed to football in Dragon Country can go far in the future, do you? It's simply the funniest joke I've ever heard this year. Forget it, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, anyway, you are just a bunch of diehards who are about to be eliminated by the times. ”

"You guy!"

Guardilla was furious and rushed up with a punch, and the two got tangled together.

.

What happened to West Bromwich Albion Club, Chen Mo naturally didn't know, he was juggling the ball in the motel at this time.

Li Zhiqiang sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at the information: "What do you think of Arsenal?" The conditions offered by their Academy are good, and they promise to give you the chance to play in the first team at the age of 16 if you can deliver on your talent. ”

"Arsenal?"

Chen Mo held the ball on his head and glanced upwards: "The team with Vieira and Petit?" ”

"Yes."

Li Zhiqiang nodded, "Petit is the top midfielder at the moment, and Vieira is also a top midfielder, but these two are still far from the top in terms of organization and control, and Petit seems to be going to Barcelona..."

"Dingding-ding-"

Li Zhiqiang was chattering, the doorbell rang, he put on his slippers and came to the door to open the door, and a balding tall fat white man appeared in front of him.

The tall fat white man took off his hat and gestured: "Hello Mr. Li Zhiqiang, I am Lexach, a scout from the La Masia Academy. ”

Li Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, shook hands and said, "Hello, Mr. Lexach, I didn't know that you came in person..."

Because he was not going to Barcelona, Li Zhiqiang politely rejected this Mr. Lexage very early, and at this time, the other party came again, and he was a little confused.

At this time, Lexage gave up his position, revealing a short, shy black-haired little Shota.

Rexage smiled and patted Messi's head: "This little guy is called Messi, an Argentine, who just signed an agreement with us. He happened to be around when we talked on the phone yesterday, and he said that he and Chen Mo were best friends when they were children, so he wanted to come and see..."

Before the words fell, Chen Mo rushed to the door with the ball in his arms and looked at Messi in surprise: "Hey, Xiaomei, why are you here?" ”
