Chapter 26
The video was quickly connected, and Captain Li had obviously just finished taking a shower and was drying his hair.
"Xiaomi, why did you think of the video today?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Look how handsome you are!"
"You little brat, are you being so sweet today? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Hehe, nothing can escape your old wisdom!"
"Come on, I have to work out tonight, if you have something to say, just say it!"
Xiaomi was a little confused, but suddenly realized that she didn't dare to delay and said quickly
"Today, an agent named Strus from Sports Total came to see me. I don't know him well, but I want to ask if you can trust him."
"Oh, the agency....What, who are you talking about?"
Captain Li didn't react at first. The first half of his sentence was normal, but suddenly his voice went up an octave.
He threw away the towel in his hand and stared at Xiaomi on the screen.
"It's the middle of the night, you want to wake the child up!"
The complaint sounded, and Captain Li bowed with an embarrassed and flattering face:
"I was wrong. I will report in half an hour at most!"
""Hmph!"
Xiaomi heard clearly that the master's wife was upset. When he heard her leave with a cold snort, he couldn't help but laugh.
He liked to see Captain Li being humiliated. Over the years, the two of them have been both a teacher and a friend.
After his family left, Captain Li cared more about him. Although he never called him Master, Captain Li's position in his heart has always been that of a Master.
"What are you laughing at? Tell me if you agree or not.
Captain Li lowered his voice, as if he was whispering.
A flame lit up, and he lit a cigarette, still the cheapest hard pack 10mg
"No, I said I need to think about it, after all, I don’t know much about it yet."
"Silly boy, don't miss such a good opportunity."
"I think it is not the right time to find an agent. I don't have many opportunities to play, and I don't have anything to deal with."
"You are wrong to think so. You know the 2006 World Cup, right?"
At this point, Captain Li took a deep puff of cigarette, and white smoke slowly dispersed from his mouth and nose.
"Yes, Italy won the 2006 World Cup in Germany"
"You only know one thing, that Strus was present in that World Cup.
During the 2006 World Cup, his scarf brand was warmly welcomed by a large number of foreign fans because it incorporated football elements."
"It was then that he discovered the huge prospects of the football industry and established an agency in 2008.
It was also at that time that his company signed many outstanding young players who are now active in the five major leagues and attracted many young talents with potential."
"In other words, although he is not as famous as Mendes and Lafayette, he is one of the big bosses hidden behind the German football world."
After hearing this, Xiaomi opened his mouth wide, his face full of surprise.
"Strus and his team should be the most professional, low-key and reliable team in the football industry."
"You have always been obsessed with training, it is normal that you don't understand these things"
"It's okay to refuse this time. Since he took the initiative to find you, there must be a club that likes you.
I believe he will contact you again."
Xiaomi saw Captain Li, took another puff of his cigarette butt, threw it into the ashtray, and lit another one.
He knew that Captain Li was thinking about how he should contact the other party later.
He did not interrupt Captain Li's thoughts and waited quietly.
Sure enough, Captain Li frowned and thought for a cigarette, and continued
"Now is not the window period, registered players cannot be traded.
If a club really wants you, they can't take you away from The Hague, so asking Strus to contact you should be a stopgap measure."
"I think you have a great chance to enter the Bundesliga, and Strus is a good starting point. But you also need to pay attention to a few points. First, you must have the final say on which club to sign with.
Second, you must play at least 15 games. Don't go to teams with deep benches. The more big names there are, the fewer chances you will play. Going to a big and powerful team will not help your development.
Finally, there is your image rights. Although you are not a registered player in China, you are a Daxia after all. You have the world's largest fan market behind you. This is a big piece of fat."
"The Red Devils chose Xiaodong not only because of his talent, but also because of the commercial interests behind it.
Xiaomi nodded. Although he didn't understand these, he knew that Captain Li's starting point was for his own good.
"Next time Strus comes to you, you can draft a contract with him, and I'll ask someone to look at it for you."
"Since Strus has taken a fancy to you and has come out in person, he won't leave unless he signs you."
"OK, I'll take note. It's getting late. I'll contact you if there's any situation here."
"Haha, good boy, you are sensible! That’s it for now, I’m going to the gym!"
"Okay, when I go back, I'll bring you some supplements. I heard that middle-aged people are not able to do that!"
"Bullshit, I'm in my prime, I don't need any supplements, I'm hanging up!"
Captain Li hung up the video angrily, and Xiaomi leaned on the sofa and laughed.
He was determined to bring supplements back for Captain Li. The more he said no, the more he wanted it.
Who said only women say the opposite? Middle-aged men are not honest either.
Children of this generation are very precocious and know as much as adults.
He sat on the sofa, thinking about what Captain Li had just said. He finally understood why the team was so concerned about his treatment this time.
The medical level in this country is not low, but there is no bleeding injury. It is basically a routine checkup and it is not taken so seriously at all.
He could obviously go back to The Hague with the team, but someone must have told the team that he should stay in the hospital.
In this case, he has no worries. The rest is to go back to The Hague and take it one step at a time.
While Xiaomi was talking to Captain Li, Struth saw Sven in a cafe not far from the hospital.
The two chatted in a corner.
"Did you see it? How do you feel?"
"Haha, he's a cunning oriental boy, very smart."
Struth briefly recounted the conversation between the two, and Sven also laughed.
"Sven, can you tell me why you like players from the Eastern football desert so much? Is it because of their commercial value?"
"No, in my eyes, Orientals are better suited to playing football than our compatriots."
"What did you say? It's very difficult for them to enter the World Cup, especially Daxia, which has only entered once in history, and that was because the World Cup was held in the East."
"Although there are many Asians playing football in Europe these years, there are really few players like Kagawa.
I didn't understand why you would go through the trouble of flying over there ten times just for a short player from the J2 league."
"It is true that he performed well in the club, but compared with Western players, his shortcomings are still obvious."
At this time, the waiter brought the coffee and the two stopped talking.
