11 Messi
In fact, the negotiation with Evra's parents was not easy, Xiao Yu almost exhausted his words in two days.
Ever since Evra graduated from Paris Saint-Germain's football school, his father wanted him to find a job to live with peace of mind, earn some money to marry a wife in the future, and stop dreaming of becoming a professional football player .
Evra's original intention seemed to be the same, but Xiao Yu's appearance completely overturned everything.
The weekly salary of 200 pounds is quite good for a working family, and the most rare thing is that Xiao Yu also included a 25% annual increase clause in this contract, as well as an upgrade bonus.
In addition, just like the boss poaching employees, Xiao Yu promised to help take care of Evra, provide him with accommodation, food and daily chores, and promised to provide two round-trip air tickets between Manchester and Paris every six months for Evra's parents Feel free to come to Manchester to see your son.
Faced with such a temptation, Evra's parents have no choice but to be tempted no matter how stubborn they are. After all, Evra's love for football can be seen even by blind people.
Patrice, what do you think? Elder Evra asked.
Evra raised his lowered head suddenly, stared at his most respected father, and said word by word, I can be a professional player! His tone was full of confidence and determination.
It was precisely because of his words that old Evra did not entangle Xiao Yu any more, but for the sake of peace of mind, he decided to go to Manchester with Evra, at least to see the situation there .
On the third day, Xiao Yu booked two air tickets to Manchester for the father and son, and at the same time asked Walsh to print out the full-time contract there and handle all related matters properly.
Although the new Manchester United even leased the training base, Xiao Yu was not worried about Evra's residence at all.
In fact, as soon as Walsh mentioned that a newly signed player of the club wanted to find a place to live, many fans' families near Newton Heath immediately invited him, and there was even a fight for it.
This is also a tradition of European clubs. Generally, youth training players from other places will choose to live in the homes of local fans. This will make it easier for them to get used to language and living habits. Instill team tradition and loyalty to the team.
For example, the transfer of Dong Fangzhuo from China to Manchester United in later generations is to live in the fan's home.
Although the new Manchester United has just been established, and the stadium and training grounds are terrible, there really is such a club, and after the old Evra consulted with relevant experts, he confirmed the legal effect of the contract. Feel free to leave your son in Manchester.

When Walsh called Xiao Yu to inform Xiao Yu of the news of getting Evra, the latter couldn't help shouting [YES] excitedly, making the front desk female staff of the Argentine Acindar Metallurgical Group standing in front of him think that I met a mentally deranged person.
How? Did you find it? Xiao Yu was not at all embarrassed by his actions just now, because he knew very well what getting Evra meant to the new Manchester United.
I found it, Jorge Messi, but he has left! the female staff at the front desk said politely.
At present, when computers are not widely used, it is undoubtedly time-consuming and energy-consuming to find a grassroots department head in a large company. Fortunately, the female employee in front of me is quite patient, and this The scale of this company is not small, and the lady at the front desk also understands English.
At this time, Xiao Yu discovered that it is necessary for later generations of Chinese universities to strictly require English!
Resigned? When did it happen? Xiao Yu asked nervously. According to some reports about Messi that he had read later, he knew that his father had once served as a department head in this company.
That's why I came here.
Originally, he had another option, which was to go directly to Newell's old boy and ask for the address of Macy's house, but he would definitely be kicked out and even beaten up.
Two months ago.
Xiao Yu nodded, Then you must have his phone number in these materials, can you copy one for me?
This is our company's employee file, it cannot be...
The young front desk lady was about to ruthlessly refuse, but Xiao Yu immediately interrupted her.
Please, I've been looking for him for a long time, I'm his distant relative, really! Xiao Yu lied without blushing at all.
The lady at the front desk stared at Xiao Yu carefully for a while, she didn't know whether it was because she thought the oriental man in front of her was handsome, or because his manner of speaking was very sincere, she finally nodded, Okay!
After getting Jorge's call, Xiao Yu kept thanking the front desk lady, turned and left.
Walking on the streets of Rosario, Xiao Yu immediately found a public phone and called the phone number written on the paper.
Hi, hello, I'm Jorge! The man on the phone panted heavily, as if he had driven a long, long way.
Hello, my name is Xiao Yu, and I represent England's New Manchester United Club. Are you the father of Leo Messi?
The person on the phone was stunned for a moment, Uh... yes, you just said you were...
New Manchester United Club! Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, but he answered every word with certainty. He could even guess that when Messi's father heard the name, he must have been surprised and thought it was Manchester United Club. .
New... Manchester United? Jorge obviously hadn't heard of the name.
Yes, we are a newly established club. We want to talk to you about something about your son, Leo Messi. Xiao Yu tried not to appear so aggressive.
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. My son has decided to join the Newell's Old Boys. You should know. Jorge had worked in a big company after all, and he was very polite and organized.
Yes, I know, but I also know that you have encountered difficulties, but Newell's old boy didn't intend to give you too much help. Xiao Yu suddenly felt a very absurd feeling.
Messi, the future world superstar, is now just a boy who is seriously ill but unable to heal. If he suddenly intervenes now and brings him back to England, what will happen to his future? What is the future of Barcelona?
Of course, that was Barcelona's own business, Xiao Yu didn't have the time to worry about him now!
You...how did you know? Jorge was a little surprised.
Believe me, my friend, I flew from England to Argentina on purpose. I didn't have any malicious intentions. We were only optimistic about Leo Messi's football talent, that's all. Xiao Yu was afraid that Jorge would be mistaken, so he quickly stated his position.
There was a moment of silence on the phone, obviously hesitating.
I think, let's discuss some things in person, shall we? Xiao Yu asked sincerely again.
Okay, after a while, Jorge nodded and agreed, but I'm at work now, you can wait for me at the Argentinian restaurant on Yrigoyen Avenue first, and I'll be there in about an hour.
Okay! Xiao Yu immediately agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and went straight to Yiligoyan Street.
Since the headquarters of Acindar Group is in the center of Rosario, and Yrigoyen Street is in the north of Rosario, it takes half an hour to take a taxi, and the taxi driver does not know how Where is the Argentinian restaurant that Erhe mentioned, so he put Xiao Yu down at the intersection.
Look along Yrigoyen Street. Fortunately, this street is not long, so it is easy to find.
When Xiao Yu came to the Argentinian restaurant that Jorge mentioned, he found a middle-aged man in his thirties standing at the door of the restaurant, beside him was a trolley with blood on it. Dressed up, obviously transporting some kind of goods.
Why did Messi's father quit his job as the head of the large group department and come to work as a delivery boy?
Xiao Yu was puzzled, but he still walked up.
Hello, is this Mr. Jorge Messi?
Yes, you are... Xiao Yu's name was really difficult to pronounce, and Jorge couldn't pronounce it after hesitating.
Xiao Yu, I'm...the representative of the new Manchester United! Xiao Yu also hesitated for a moment. If he said that he was the boss, it might not be appropriate.
Hello, Mr. Xiao Yu, my English...is not very smooth, I'm sorry! Jorge said with some shame.
It's okay, it's all because I can't speak Spanish, but after I go back, I must hire a teacher and study hard! Xiao Yu joked.
Jorge smiled and picked up the towel on the cart to wipe off his sweat.
It was noon and the weather was very hot. He had obviously just finished his work, and he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was drenched.
Jorge, have you had lunch? Seeing him like this, Xiao Yu was quite moved.
Jorge Messi is definitely a respectable and great father. In order to treat his son, he spent almost all his savings, including his social insurance and mutual insurance. He later talked about this experience and once said However, he and Messi went to Spain when they had nowhere to go. It was a dead end, and there was no way back.
Didn't eat it! Jorge blurted out a slip of the tongue, but quickly covered it up, I just ate something casually at the vegetable market.
Xiao Yu knew what was going on, so he smiled, It's okay, I haven't eaten yet, how about this, I think this restaurant is good, let's go in and have a taste, chat while eating, I treat you!
After finishing speaking, regardless of Jorge's answer or not, Xiao Yu pulled him to go in.
Wait, wait! Jorge broke free from Xiao Yu, and pointed to the trolley outside the restaurant, Sorry, this trolley can't be placed here, I have to change it.
Well, I'll wait for you here! Xiao Yu stood at the door with a smile.
Jorge knew that he couldn't escape today, so he nodded, pushed the cart to a corner of the restaurant, and left it in a safe place before returning.
