Midfielder

Chapter 6 An invitation from Benfica

After not receiving a call for more than ten hours, although most of that time was at night, Mendes had begun to become a little desperate. Maybe the little guy had forgotten the business card he handed over.

But the black-haired boy came just when he was about to give up. The boy appeared in front of him early in the morning. Lin Yi stood in front of Mendes with only a simple backpack. Looking at him, it was only at this moment that Mendes was finally relieved.

"From today on, you are responsible for my future. I hope there will be no problem with our cooperation." Lin Yi's conversation was simple, straightforward, and even decisive beyond Mendes' expectations. He did not expect this little guy to be so quick. Answered himself, and he seemed to be ready for everything.

"I will tell you with actions that you have not chosen the wrong partner. From today on, I will be responsible for your future. I will not let any customer down. This is a guarantee. I will do what I say, believe me." "Mendes was a little surprised by the conclusion of the deal, which made him a little hesitant when speaking, as if he was afraid that the guy in front of him would suddenly run away, so he directly grabbed Lin Yi's hands and gave a serious assurance. With.

"Uncle, can we talk if we have something to talk about? I am only a performer, not a prostitute. Hey, can you stop holding my hand like this? Don't you see that someone is already looking at us? Uncle, this is in a hotel At the door, I don’t want to be watched! Hey, let go, don’t hold my hands! Hey, what are you doing in broad daylight?” Lin Yi looked at the guy in front of him grabbing his own hands. If you don't let go, he seems to feel a little dangerous. . .

Isn't this guy GAY? Help. . .

The agency contract between Mendes and Lin Yi may have gone too fast. This was the easiest time Mendes has ever signed a player. The guy just signed his name directly after briefly looking at the contract. Mendes was not even asked about the details of the contract.

"Don't you think about going to a lawyer to consult about the contract? After all, this is a contract related to your future career. Isn't this too hasty?" Mendes feels that everything is developing too fast. , so fast that he was a little uncomfortable.

"You said that you are a professional agent. I think there should be no problem with the details. My interests are also your interests. You won't harm yourself, right? Besides, I don't have that much money to hire someone now. A lawyer helped me. What you said to me was honest enough. I choose to trust an honest person. If you really have a problem, it will only be my bad luck."

Lin Yi's answer is simple. In fact, any kind of contract will have loopholes, especially contracts involving agents. There have been too many disputes. If you look into the problems here, you are looking for trouble. Instead of pursuing these issues, it is better to find someone you can trust. The uncle in front of me seems to be a fairly trustworthy person. Although he is also a businessman, at least he is sincere sometimes.

Mendes may feel for the first time that the burden on his shoulders is a bit heavy, because there is a kind of trust involved.

Signing Lin Yi is not the end of Mendes' mission, on the contrary, it is the beginning of his busy schedule.

Now the players Mendes has on hand have their own homes, including the latest signing Chris, who has been successfully promoted to the Sporting Lisbon first team, but the little guy in front of him still doesn't have a good destination.

Although Lin Yi had told Mendes that the Sebatur team was ready to offer him a new apprenticeship contract, Mendes immediately rejected this possibility, which was completely impossible.

Mendes knows very well what the Portuguese league is like. If you want to get ahead in this league, unless you are in a giant team like Porto, Sporting Lisbon or Benfica, those international scouts will never notice. you.

The little guy in front of him is almost 15 years old. What he needs now is to show his strength on a higher platform. Yes, he still needs to be polished, but Mendes hopes that the place where he polishes him will not be the plug. A team like Batur.

You'd better not expect to win any honors from such a low-level team. The Sebatur team is indeed too weak. Even in the Portuguese Super League, it can only be the kind of person who avoids relegation every year. team.

A low-level team like Sebatur will only linger at the bottom of the league. It even needs to worry about the funds for the team's operation. This is definitely not a good choice. Mendes knows very well that without a big stage to provide you with opportunities, even if you have talent, it is still a piece of shit.

Even in youth leagues, if you work hard in teams like Benfica and Porto, you will have more opportunities to go out.

If you don’t want to stay in Portugal for the rest of your life, you have to show yourself on a better stage. Mendes believes that this little guy will definitely succeed, just like his beautiful passing on the court. This is probably Mendes’ first Trust your gut so much for once.

Therefore, Mendes will not let Lin Yi sign Sebatur's new contract. As this little guy's agent, Mendes needs to think about the future of this kid. Sebatur is only in his career. , and now they need to drive to their next destination.

It is not difficult to solve the apprenticeship contract that is full of loopholes. Mendes is too familiar with such contracts. In his opinion, it is no different from a piece of waste paper and has no legal binding ability.

Sebatur's youth team coach may now be resenting why he let Lin Yi play in the game against Sporting Lisbon. That damn game cost him a possible chance to succeed. He understands what he missed.

The contract was successfully resolved, but now Mendes is facing a big problem. He must find another club for Lin Yi to settle in within a short period of time. There is not much time left for him. Portugal's The youth league starts in less than a month.

It is not an easy thing to bring a player who has never participated in an official game to the market in such a short period of time. Although Sporting Lisbon has already seen what this little guy is capable of, it was just an unrelated game. It was an important friendly match, and they even fell apart.

Even if the teams that heard the news have smelled the potential value of this kid, no team will immediately rush to accept him. After all, not many people like to take such uncertain risks, and more people still choose to take him. Wait and see.

Taking advantage of the fact that the league has not yet started to look for trial training opportunities, this may be the only good way Mendes can think of for Lin Yi now. He believes that this little guy's ability can impress anyone on the court, and he can use both feet in football. Persuading others on the field is always more effective than boasting.

The pile of business cards left by the little guy yesterday actually played a big role at this time. The scouts who came to visit were not agents. Their job is to recruit young guys who can be developed into the team. As for who is lucky enough to sign him, there is no conflict of interest with them. Mendes' call aroused the interest of many people.

The day after Mendes signed Lin Yi, there were already three or four invitation calls coming in, all looking for this little guy to try out. Mendes’ estimate was not wrong. Everyone who knew this little guy and Everyone who was involved in the performance of the competitive team wanted to personally verify the authenticity of the news.

"Maybe we are going to visit many teams. Are you ready?" Mendes put down the phone and looked at the little guy in front of him and said. After all, this kid is only fifteen years old now. This kind of experiment The life of training is sometimes a bit cruel because it is full of fierce competition.

"All my belongings are here. As for where to go next, it's up to you. If I hadn't thought about this, I wouldn't be here." Lin Yi pointed to the bag and said, in fact, he knew it very well. , if he wants to break out in the professional player industry, he must face challenges again and again. He has understood this since he decided to leave the church.

It doesn't matter, when he steps onto the football field, he will not be afraid of any opponent. It doesn't matter when the challenge will come. Using nimble feet to defeat opponents is Lin Yi's way of survival to win on the football field.

"Sporting Lisbon has probably been excluded by you, so our next stop will be Benfica. There is also a coach I know there. I hope God gives us good luck. The most important thing is the game where you defeated Lisbon. They must have heard about the competition in the same city. I hope they can be interested in you, and their invitation was also the first to be sent. "

Mendes opened the car door and signaled to Lin Yi that it was time for them to set off. Maybe this journey would be the starting point of this little guy's career as a professional player. He hoped that the God who heard his prayers could bring him and this little guy good luck.

"It's a good idea. I'm already looking forward to future local derbies." Lin Yi smiled and pursed his lips.

"You little guy have never considered the issue of failing the trial training." Mendes said to this confident little guy.

"If you don't consider winning, then why go to the competition? Right?" Lin Yi's answer was simple.

"Very good self-confidence, I need you to maintain this state all the time." Mendes didn't say anything more, just gave this little guy a thumbs up. This is a confident boy, which is very important to Mendes. Say, it's a good thing.

Benfica? It was indeed a good idea. Maybe it would be more exciting to kill Sporting Lisbon again in an official match. Lin Yi picked up the backpack in his hand and got into the car. At this moment, there was no anxiety in his heart, only a kind of expectation.

This is Lin Yi’s football journey, which will start from here. . .
