The European football transfer market is full of smoke. Countless wealthy teams are waving their checkbooks and recruiting their favorite stars. Countless top stars have left the team with sky-high transfer fees, seeking a higher platform and better development.
Even ordinary small clubs are constantly making moves in the transfer market. Although they don't have much available transfer funds, they can find some high-quality and cheap players in the transfer market, which is what they are most happy to see. to things.
Not only that, there are also scouts from many European clubs in the distant Americas, Africa, and Asian continents, looking for young talents in the hope of creating the next Aguero - who created a 45 million euro transfer this summer A talented striker of record.
As long as one Aguero can be dug out, the club will have a year's income.
Outside of the European continent, the most popular places for scouts are Brazil and Argentina, where football talents are everywhere. These scouts are like gold diggers, searching for them.
Brazil is extremely lively this summer, and many young players are ready to make contact with European giants. The last pair of twin stars Diego and Robinho have become the main players of European giants clubs. Is the next genius still far away?
At the training ground of the Flamengo Club, countless scouts gather around every day, staring at the young players on the training ground. The club's staff and coaches are also happy to see this situation. Being able to send talented players in their team to Europe is not only the wish of young people, but also the expectation of the club. After all, they rely on this method to make money. .
On the sidelines of the training ground, several Italian scouts were chatting. Both of them were from Milan and were scouts for Inter Milan and AC Milan.
Although the two teams are mortal enemies on the court, off the court, many people are good friends, even the players of the two clubs. They even opened a shop together in Milan to make money, and they have a tacit relationship.
"Man, we're so unlucky to be sent to Flamengo."
"Why? Flamengo has also produced many talented stars in recent years, and it's not bad here."
"Humph, Flamenco is far behind! If I had to choose, I would still want to go to Santos."
"Santos is really good. Not only did they defend the state league championship, but they also just won the Copa Libertadores. It's really good."
"Now the entire South American continent knows that Santos has produced a football genius, known as the second Pele!"
"Haha, do you believe this? Nowadays, any Brazilian genius is called the second Pele or Ronaldo II. Without a resounding nickname, he would be embarrassed to go out."
"Man, this time is different. I have seen him play live. That kid is really amazing! I'm sure that once he lands in Europe, he will definitely be a famous genius! His height, well, is at least as high as that of our team's Pa. Excellent level!"
"So strong? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the club and poach you?"
"Forget it, man, this kid is not something you and I can afford. Even though he is only 19 years old, he has already been targeted by other wealthy people. It is said that Real Madrid has offered 40 million euros. He wanted to bring the Brazilian genius to the Bernabeu for a sky-high price! Barcelona even sent people to negotiate with him early and signed him at all costs!"
"Oh my god, are these two clubs crazy? Is such a young boy, who has not yet proven his ability in European football, worth spending such a large transfer fee? Forget it, I'd better not worry about it."
"Haha, regardless of the amount of money, you may not be able to buy it if you have money. If this kid can really use all his abilities, it is very possible to win the World Footballer."
"World Footballer?" The Inter Milan scout was stunned for a moment, and soon a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. He pointed in the direction of the training ground and mocked the AC Milan scout beside him, "Isn't that guy also a world footballer? Sir? Why didn't you play in AC Milan? Huh, many so-called geniuses are just short-lived."
After hearing this, the AC Milan scout looked very helpless: "Brother, please stop rubbing salt on our wounds, okay? When we bought him in 2008, we spent a high price of 21 million euros. . In the first season, he was basically adapting to the rhythm. In the second season, he performed well, but last season was completely useless. As long as he can be a substitute, we can't send him back to Brazil during the winter break. His talent has been used up and he is useless..."
As the two were chatting, they saw the player they were talking about shoot in front of the penalty area, and the ball went straight into the blind corner. He scored a goal in the training match.
His teammates rushed up to celebrate with him. Although he forced a smile, he was a little worried and didn't look that happy.
A day of training always passes quickly. For some players, training is hard, but for those who really love football, they can feel very happy as long as they can play on the football field, even if it is not official. It’s also fun to play games and just practice games.
At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Brazilian left the training ground. He was the last player to leave. After greeting the staff who were cleaning up the court, he went straight to the club's parking lot.
After walking out of the training ground, there were no reporters or scouts outside the training ground.
not a single one.
A few years ago, no matter where he went, he would be surrounded by a group of fans, three floors inside and three outside, airtight.
My hands were soft when signing autographs, and I laughed until my mouth cramped when taking photos.
But now, there is no one outside the stadium, only a parking attendant sitting on a chair, yawning lazily and feeling sleepy.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head gently. He was smiling on the court just now, but now he looked extremely lonely.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a childish call.
"Hello, can I take a photo with you?"
He was startled, then turned around and saw a child of about 10 years old. The child looked at him expectantly with a childish face.
He nodded and moved closer to the child. The child used the front camera of his phone to take a photo.
After looking at it, I was a little dissatisfied, so I took a few more pictures, and then I was happy.
He was not impatient and patiently cooperated with the child.
"Thank you, I am your fan!" the child said excitedly, "No matter which team you play for, I will always support you!"
He looked at the child with a smile: "Thank you for your support."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the child suddenly said something in a childish language behind him.
"Excuse me, will you return to Europe to play football in the future?"
His footsteps suddenly stopped, he hesitated for a moment, did not answer, and walked slowly towards the distance...
