78 picked up a top midfielder
June 25th.
Another weekend.
The Real Madrid Sports City, in the north of downtown Madrid, is bustling with activity.
The annual Real Madrid youth selection attracts young players invited from all over Spain, plus parents and agents who pick up and drop off their children, and the old sports city is overcrowded.
Yang Hao sat in a McDonald's directly opposite the Real Madrid Sports City, facing the window, and it was easy to see the flow of people coming in and out across the road, paying attention to each of them.
Across from him sat a strange-looking Parales.
Since Yang Hao returned to Europe, he has immediately put into busy work, and he is busy every day.
But I don't know why, Yang Hao specially ran here today, sitting opposite the sports city of the sworn enemy Real Madrid, just watching the flow of people in and out, what do they have to see?
"Boss, if you are photographed by a media reporter, I'm afraid you'll make headlines." Parales playfully opened the conversation.
Rivals choose young players, what does it matter to you as the head coach of Atletico Madrid?
Yang Hao glanced at the person opposite, then turned his head and continued to pay attention to the gate of Real Madrid Sports City, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Parales is not angry, he has not been with Yang Hao for a long time, but he has also figured out Yang Hao's character, and he will never reveal half a sentence when the time comes, but this matter will obviously be interesting today.
The physiotherapist suppressed the curiosity in his heart and sat opposite and waited.
After drinking two cups of Fat House Happy Water, I refilled two more glasses, and time passed quickly with the consumption of Happy Water.
It wasn't until nearly noon that Yang Hao finally moved.
"Jose, do you see those three?" Yang Hao asked, pointing to a group of people who walked out of the Real Madrid Sports City.
Parales followed Yang Hao's gesture and looked over, and it was easy to see a group of three people, obviously son, father and agent.
"See, what should I do?"
"You take my business card and tell them that I appreciate the quality of the kids and invite them to Atletico for a trial."
"Huh?" Parales' eyes widened.
Who are those three people?
Parales didn't know at all, he swore that Yang Hao definitely hadn't seen the child's performance.
Look at that kid again, he is thin and short, and he doesn't look like he plays football very well.
Although Spain attaches great importance to technology, it is not good to be in poor health.
Parrales was full of doubts, but he acted immediately, leaving his seat and walking out of McDonald's.
……
Fernando Gimenez Silva walked out of Real Madrid's sports city with his son disappointed.
He saw the child turn back three times and keep turning his head to look at the gate of Real Madrid Sports City, as if expecting a miracle to be born.
The coach inside changed his mind, realized that he was wrong, called them back, and continued to participate in the selection.
But the miracle did not happen.
"Let's go, David, Real Madrid don't see your potential, it's their loss, let's go back and keep going, practice well, and then go to other teams on the island to try out and become a professional player, just like Belleron." That's all Fernando Silva can do to comfort his son.
At just 14 years old, David Silva, like most children in the Canary Islands, has been a Real Madrid fan since he was a child, eager to join Real Madrid's academy and play for one of Spain's best teams.
David Silva was the best player in his academy, came to Madrid for a trial with a recommended spot, and also passed the first round of the selection round, but in the second round, Real Madrid's academy coach thought he was too short and thin, and the physical confrontation was too poor, and he was eliminated.
David Silva hails from the small fishing village of Alkinegin, the capital of the Canary Islands, which is ruled by Las Palmas, and their village has produced a celebrity who is the idol of all the kids who play football, Juan Bellerón, who also plays for Atletico Madrid, but La Liga champions Deportivo La Coruna are said to be planning to sign him for 20 million euros.
Like Bellerón, play for a team in the Canary Islands before looking for opportunities to step out of the archipelago and into continental Europe.
This is the dream of all Canary Island children.
"Fernando is right, David, I will contact Las Palmas when I go back and get a trial opportunity for you, and then you will go to Las Palmas to train, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely have a chance to join Real Madrid." The agent also comforted on the side.
But both adults knew that this was more of a comfort to the child.
Even if he joins Real Madrid's academy today, he may not be able to play in the first team in the future, let alone not even enter the academy now, which means that David Silva's talent is very limited.
He may have played very well in Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, but this is the capital of Spain, home to some of the best football talent in the country, and the Real Madrid Academy is looking for the best of his age.
David Silva, by comparison, inevitably overshadowed.
"Let's go, let's go back to the hostel first, buy the ticket and go home." Fernando Silva said.
Teenager David Silva looked back and looked deeply at the gates of the Sports City, especially the Real Madrid crest.
That's what he's always dreamed of.
Just as the three of them walked out of the range of Real Madrid Sports City, they just crossed the road and ushered in a young man with a kind smile on the opposite side.
"Hello guys, I'm an employee of Atletico Madrid."
Silva's father and son and the agent were visibly stunned, looking at Parales with a very strange look.
This is Real Madrid's sports city...... Belch...... Directly opposite, what are the people from Atletico doing here?
"Our head coach, Mr. Yang Hao, has seen your children play, he thinks he is very talented, and I hope to invite you to try out with us." As soon as Parales met, he raised Yang Hao's name.
This name is still quite well-known in Spain today.
"Yang Hao? Is it the Atletico manager that Belleron has praised many times? Fernando Silva was taken aback.
"Yes, sir."
He ...... Does he have a crush on our David? Fernando Silva couldn't believe it.
"That's right." Parales was always smiling.
Sometimes, Yang Hao feels that he should not be a physiotherapist, but should be a customer service.
The three of them looked at each other, all in disbelief.
was just rejected by Real Madrid, but as soon as he went out, he was taken by Atletico Madrid.
What's going on?
"Wait, when did Yang Hao see our David playing?" Fernando Silva is a police officer, very cautious and has a good reasoning logic.
"I'm sorry, I don't know." Parales replied truthfully with a wry smile.
He really didn't know, and he was very puzzled.
But if he doesn't say anything about the boss, who can guess?
Fernando Silva took the business card from Parales' hand and realized that it was a little strange, but it was also an opportunity, anyway, he had already come to Madrid, and it seemed good to go to Atletico Madrid for a trial.
After seeing Parales off, Fernando Silva looked at his son and then at his agent, who also looked encouraging.
"David, let's try it at Atletico Madrid?"
David Silva is still young, and his mind has changed very quickly, since he can't go to Real Madrid, as long as he can stay in the capital, it is also good to go to Atletico Madrid.
Fernando Silva immediately took out his mobile phone, found Belleron's number, and called directly.
Belleron is still representing Spain in the European Championship, and tonight is the quarter-final knockout match against France, but Belleron is not the main team, and it is almost noon now, and the phone can be reached.
As soon as Bellerón on the other side of the phone heard that the little Silva of his old family came to Madrid for a trial and was rejected by Real Madrid, he was immediately a little angry, but he had met David Silva and knew the technical ability of this kid.
I heard that Yang Hao of Atletico Madrid took a fancy to him, and Belleron immediately praised Yang Hao, saying that now Atletico Madrid is reorganizing the youth training, and he firmly believes that Atletico Madrid will usher in a reborn transformation under the governance of Yang Hao.
"Trust me, Fernando, going to Atletico would be a good choice." Belleron trusts Yang Hao very much.
If Yang Hao was just the head coach of the team, he wouldn't dare to say anything, but now that Yang Hao is a shareholder of Atletico Madrid, this amount is different.
Subsequently, Belleron immediately called Yang Hao again.
At this time, Yang Haoren was sitting in McDonald's, watching Fernando Silva make a phone call.
After receiving a call from Belleron, Yang Hao said that he did think that David Silva had great talent and potential, coupled with Belleron's strong recommendation, Yang Hao immediately said that he did not need a trial, he came directly to Atletico Madrid, including food and accommodation, and paid a subsidy every month.
This made Belleron think that his face had played a role, and he was even more grateful to Yang Hao.
After hanging up Belleron's phone, Yang Hao saw that Fernando Silva outside McDonald's received another call, and after a few words of thanks, he discussed with his agent and went to Atletico Madrid's training base in the afternoon.
Watching the three of them leave, Yang Hao got up from his seat and stretched.
Sitting for a morning and picking up a future top midfielder, is it worth it?
"Boss, how did you see that the kid named David Silva had a talent for football, why didn't I know?"
As he left, Parales asked gossipingly.
"What's so strange about this, if you know, then aren't you the manager of Atletico Madrid?"
"And where did you know that?"
"Can I tell you something so secret?"
When Parales thought about it, it seemed to make some sense, but it seemed to be ......
"I'm telling you, Jose, not everything in this world has a reason."
"It's like what happened to us sitting here today, many, many years from now, if David Silva doesn't kick it out, nobody cares, if he does, then we're going to be talked about, especially the business card that you handed out, you know?"
Parales was stunned for a moment, somewhat understood, but not very understanding.
Yang Hao didn't bother to bother with him.
In fact, there are a lot of things like this, but no one pays attention to it, no one cares.
It's as if now, no one cares at all, Atletico Madrid spent 600,000 euros from Monza in Serie B to sign who the 19-year-old French striker Patrice Evra is.
Because for the people in this world today, this matter is too insignificant.
