From the man behind the football king to the football king
Chapter 39 Broker
At the moment the final whistle sounded, the Portuguese U20 players and coaching staff on the sidelines rushed into the court.
1:0, Portugal relied on Bruno's long-distance attack to narrowly defeat the South American champion Colombia U20 and win the 2013 Toulon Cup championship.
And Bruno became the most dazzling person. He won four major personal awards: Golden Globe Award, top scorer, assist king and best player in the final. It can be said that he won the award with ease.
In addition, he was undoubtedly selected into the best team of this Toulon Cup, but the position selected was not the attacking midfielder, but the right midfielder in the 433 formation.
This is the first time in ten years that Portugal U20 has won the championship in this football tournament known as the "cradle of international stars".
Prior to this, although Bruno was well-known in Italy, not many people in Portugal knew of his existence. After all, not many Portuguese paid attention to Serie B.
However, after Bruno made his debut in the Toulon Cup and performed very well, his reputation in Portugal soared and he became a slightly famous young talent.
Even Bruno's achievements in Serie B have spread in Portugal.
Then, many people were shocked: scoring 21 goals and 32 assists in 40 games in a season, is this what an 18-year-old player can do?
No matter how poor the level of Serie B is, this is not something an ordinary player can do!
Just like the Portuguese League, no player has produced such incredible statistics since ancient times.
As the second-tier league in Italy, Serie B is better than the Portuguese Liga, right?
Moreover, Bruno also brought Novara, a team that was relegated last season, back to Serie A!
Thinking back to Bruno's super ability in the Toulon Cup, Bruno's achievements in Novara are even more convincing in the minds of the Portuguese.
Many people even connected him with another Portuguese.
………………
Ten years ago, in 2003, an 18-year-old boy named Cristiano Ronaldo boarded the Portugal U20 train to Toulon at the last moment and quickly became the team's sharpest attacker. His breakthrough on the right wing is always the offensive method that opponents are most afraid of. He was an important contributor to Portugal's ability to win the Toulon Cup that year. And it was with his outstanding performance in the Toulon Cup that he attracted the attention of Manchester United coach Ferguson, and he transferred to Manchester United that summer, starting his legendary road.
Ten years later, in 2013, an 18-year-old boy named Bruno Fernandez also entered the Portugal U20 squad at the last moment, but ended up with 3 goals and 5 assists in 5 games. Portugal scored a total of 12 goals in the series, two-thirds of which were created by him alone, and the other four were almost related to him. It can be said that Bruno almost single-handedly led Portugal all the way through, allowing the youth of the Five Shields Army to win the crown again even though they were not expected to do so.
In the past ten years, Portugal has participated in the Toulon Cup more than once, but they have never won the championship, let alone such an impressive player.
Among the countless Portuguese fans who paid attention to Bruno, there was a man named Jorge Mendes. After watching the Toulon Cup final, he was very optimistic about Bruno, and then he also paid attention to Bruno's other situations. Then he discovered that Bruno hadn't signed an agent yet, which made him very excited and decided to act quickly.
………………
As the hottest super agent in today's international football, Mendes has a very wide network. Among the Portuguese U20 players, there is one player under his ownership, and that is right back Joao Cancelo.
Mendes quickly contacted Cancelo and asked him to talk about Bruno first.
Then, on the way to Portugal U20 taking a flight from Marseille to Turkey, Cancelo approached Bruno.
Due to Portugal's U20 formation, Bruno often cooperates with Cancelo on the right. The two have a good relationship. He sat directly next to Bruno and asked: "Bruno, have you signed an agent?"
Bruno was a little surprised why Cancelo asked him this question, but he did not hide it and said: "Not yet, the general manager of my club is urging me to find an agent quickly."
"Novaara wants to renew your contract?" Cancelo asked curiously.
Bruno shook his head and said: "No. I probably won't stay in Novara."
"You really should find a reliable agent and stop worrying about these things all day long." Cancelo advised.
Bruno nodded, he thought so too, these things somewhat distracted him.
"How about I ask Jorge for you?" Cancelo said, as if it wasn't Mendes who asked him to talk.
"Him?" Bruno was a little surprised.
"You don't like him?" Cancelo asked.
"No, how could it be? I'm afraid he won't look down on me." Bruno said with a bitter smile.
………………
Of course Bruno knows who Jorge is in Cancelo's mouth. He is the top agent in world football now. Cristiano Ronaldo, De Gea and many other superstars are players under his command.
Football agents are an indispensable part of modern football. They not only represent the interests of players, but also participate in club transactions and contract negotiations.
Among the football agents in world football today, Mendes and Raiola are definitely the two most famous. Each of them has a unique background and successful experience. Their continuous exploration and breakthroughs in the football agency industry have also brought considerable influence to the entire football world.
Raiola is an Italian football agent known for handling some controversial transfers. He is known for his strong personality and direct rhetoric, and has publicly criticized players and clubs on many occasions.
Raiola's influence in the football agency world is very large, and he can push many new decisions in the transfer market. His reputation has also been controversial due to his rhetoric and transfer behavior, and he is considered by some to be the "evil agent" in the football world. His approach is usually to engage in intense negotiations with clubs in order to obtain the highest offer and the most favorable terms. His success is mainly due to the fact that he has established "good" connections with many wealthy clubs, and his understanding and judgment of the transfer market are excellent.
Although Raiola is controversial, his management skills are beyond reproach. He negotiated huge contracts for many players, such as Bergkamp's move to Inter Milan, Nedvěd's move to Juventus, Balotelli's move to Manchester City, etc. Not only has he pushed his players to a higher stage, but also allowed many clubs to "benefit" from the transaction. While he may not be everyone's favorite, he is certainly one of the most successful and influential people in the football agent world.
Mendes is a Portuguese football agent who represents many star players in international football, including Ronaldo, De Gea and others. He also represents many famous coaches such as Mourinho and Ancelotti. He is considered one of the most successful and influential figures in the football agency industry and is nicknamed the "Super Agent" by the media.
Mendes' success in the football agency industry is largely due to his interpersonal and negotiation skills. He has very close ties with the club and is able to secure the best treatment and benefits for the players. His interpersonal contacts are also very extensive. He can recommend players to the club and find suitable players for the club. His negotiation skills are also very superb, and he can seize the initiative in complex transfer negotiations and obtain the most favorable conditions for players.
At the same time, he also has extensive investments and businesses in other areas, demonstrating his business acumen and keen business insight.
These two agents are Bruno's favorite agents.
Working overtime in the past two days has resulted in the update time not being as stable as before. After getting through this week, we should be able to resume the original scheduled updates starting from the weekend.
