The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 68 Becoming a Superstar

After an unusual Christmas Eve, Lee Polo's football career started again.

On December 26, the entire Wimbledon team arrived in Portsmouth to challenge their opponents in the 22nd round of the league.

Portsmouth are not unknown. They won the league championship twice as early as the English League One. After entering the Premier League, they have always been called the backbone of the league and successfully won the FA Cup in the 2007-08 season. In 2009

In the -10 season, they won the FA Cup runner-up. But in the same year, they were deducted 9 points due to poor asset management and debt restructuring issues and were relegated to the English Championship.

This is just the beginning of their nightmare. In the 2011-12 season, they were once again deducted 10 points and relegated to English League One due to operating problems and debt restructuring. In the 2012-13 season, they were deducted another 10 points and were directly relegated to English League Two...

It was not until April 2013, 15 months after entering administration, that Portsmouth finally completed the transfer tug-of-war, and a group composed of fans officially took over the operation of the club. Without the support of capitalists, the team can only rely on die-hard fans.

Play football with love.

In a sense, Portsmouth and Wimbledon have a lot in common, which makes the game less tense. There is even a warm slogan "Fans all over the world are one family" hung on the court.

But when the referee blew the opening whistle, the warmth and friendliness were instantly forgotten by the Wimbledon players!

Midfielder Suitland scored with a long shot in the 7th minute, and Dubis expanded the score in the 15th minute. Many fans of the home team felt the cruelty of the cold winter before they warmed their seats!

After all, Wimbledon has been leading the standings, while Portsmouth is only ranked 15th. The strength gap between the two sides is there. It is normal to turn against the visitors!

Lee Polo did not let go of this great opportunity to gain points. In the 37th minute, he took advantage of the set kick opportunity in the frontcourt and scored with a header, expanding the score to 3:0.

Of course he had many opportunities in the second half, but unfortunately none of them resulted in a goal. He only assisted Akinfenwa in the 62nd minute and scored the fourth goal of the game.

Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Adelai replaced the three starters Lee Polo, Akinfenwa and Smith in advance, and also let Connolly, Kennedy, Sweeney and other substitute players find their match condition.

One pass, one shot, zero defensive mistakes, and zero opponents blocked. This is perfect enough for a defender, but Lee Polo was a little unhappy.

Because Lisanna's father, Bruce, had already told him that the most famous football agent in the British Isles would come to watch the game in person!

Who doesn't want to conquer such football giants with perfect performance?

What if the reason why that guy dislikes him is that there are so many free kicks, why did he only seize one opportunity?

Fortunately, he didn't worry for too long before he received news from Bruce:

"Come to the box above and let's discuss your contract."

Li Polo said hello to Cox, wrapped himself tightly in his fluffy down jacket, and climbed up the steps of the stands step by step.

In a certain box, he saw Bruce chatting with another old man.

The old man looked to be over sixty years old, with almost no hair on the top of his head, a shiny forehead, wearing a pair of narrow-rimmed glasses, and a dark suit that could not hide his belly...

The overall impression is indeed that of a capitalist who plays with connections.

After seeing Li Polo come in, the agent quickly stood up and took the initiative to extend his right hand:

"Here comes our star of tomorrow. Jonathan Barnett. Nice to meet you, Polo."

There is a difference of more than forty years and a huge disparity in status and status, but his tone is as relaxed as if he was chatting with his junior.

Li Polo relaxed slightly and reached out to shake his hand:

"It's my pleasure, Mr. Barnett."

Bruce smiled and gestured to sit down:

"We arrived a little later than the expected opening time, but fortunately we didn't miss your goals and assists."

Li Polo sat on the sofa and tried to look less reserved:

"Today's opponent was not that strong, but the venue was a bit slippery. I failed to seize several opportunities..."

He was telling the truth. The slippery turf prevented him from fully exerting his strength when taking off. Naturally, he could not give full play to his header ability. However, the field conditions were fair to both sides, and speaking out would only make him look more like a header.

He is too competitive.

But Barnett didn’t seem to care:

"I have been following you for a long time. Don't be surprised, and don't think it was Bruce who recommended you to me. In fact, my company has always had dedicated staff responsible for following up on talented players in the lower leagues as part of future investments.

.For example, Dele Alli in Milton Keynes, but unfortunately, he has been taken advantage of by Rob Siegel. But now I am convinced that you are more worthy of investment than Dele Alli."

Li Polo gradually began to believe that it was no accident that he received attention. In the football market, hoarding young players as early as possible is also a common practice for agents. The ownership of many Brazilian talented young players will even be bought out by those agents-this means

When European teams want to buy them, they can only let their agents ask for high prices!

After playing for half a season, Li Polo also gained a lot of confidence. He was not modest about Barnett's evaluation:

"I promise you won't regret it, Mr. Barnett."

Barnett showed a smile, and a glint of light seemed to flash through his dark lenses:

"I like your confidence. Confidence is also an essential quality for becoming a superstar."

Li Polo leaned back on the sofa:

"I like my confidence too. Hahaha."

Barnett stretched out his hand to adjust his glasses:

"Bruce should have told you that I want to help you find a better next home next summer."

Li Polo nodded.

Just listen to Barnett continue:

"In addition to England, I also have some channels in Spain, and recently, I have also been in contact with some Chinese clubs. For example, Evergrande and Suning. They once wanted Gareth to join the Chinese Super League, but unfortunately the players themselves were not interested."

Li Poluo couldn't help laughing.

Then he heard Barnett ask another question:

"What about you? Are you willing to join a Chinese Super League team? I just need to package your results a little, or even without packaging, those teams will also flock to you, right? As far as I know, the income of the main players in the Chinese Super League may be more than

Some relegation teams are much higher."

Li Poluo did not refuse immediately, but thought carefully for five seconds before answering him:

"Sorry, I have no interest in joining the Chinese Super League either."

Barnett didn't seem surprised at all, but showed an expression of admiration:

"I am even more convinced that you are worthy of my investment."

At this moment, they heard three whistles from outside the box:

"Dip, drip, drip~~"

He stood up with a smile:

"Okay, let's talk about this for now. I will bring you the formal agency contract next time. Go and meet your team!"
