There is a dream called football

"Whatever you want to eat, just order whatever you want." Mourinho pushed the menu to Li Qiao.

"Haha, this is my first time eating a three-star Michelin restaurant in Portugal. I must order it carefully."

When I opened the menu and took a look, I was stunned.

Every country has a problem, that is, it is difficult to write the names of dishes. For example, in China, even foreigners who can speak Chinese are confused about Mapo Tofu and Couple's Feather Slices.

The same is true for Li Qiao. Although he has learned simple Portuguese, he doesn't recognize any of the names of the dishes on it.

"Jose, what is this?"

"It should be a kind of pork dish. I haven't eaten it specifically."

"Haha, okay then, let's do it."

Li Qiao ordered a few dishes, ate and drank, and then it was time to get down to business.

"Are you still used to life in Portugal?" Jose asked.

"I'm used to it now."

"I have never been to China. I heard that it has its own unique culture."

Li Qiao nodded, "Jose, you really should go and see it."

Mourinho also laughed.

"Do you have any goals in coming to Portugal to play football? I guess you are not willing to just play in the second team."

"Of course I won't give in. My dream is to go to a team in the upper reaches of the five major leagues."

"for example?"

"Real Madrid, Bayern, Juventus."

Mourinho smiled, gently stroked his palm and said: "Anyone with a dream, come and have a drink."

"Ha ha."

"Jose, why did you come to me? You might as well just tell me."

Mourinho put down the wine glass in his hand and said seriously: "I want to transfer you to the first team, but I can't guarantee anything to you."

…

Li Qiao was silent for a while.

"I can't even give you a contract with the first team. Everything depends on you to prove yourself. If you can't gain a foothold in the first team, you have to go back to the second team."

In his previous life, Li Qiao also joined the army of fresh graduates looking for jobs after graduating from college. Those in charge of recruitment were relatively arrogant towards these rookies. Basically, you had no qualifications to negotiate terms with them.

But for those who have work qualifications, especially those who have worked in large companies, those who recruit in this way will be much more polite. This is a very realistic society.

Mourinho's intention is very clear, which is to use the salary of the second team to do the work of the first team, and if he does not do well, he will have to go back.

It seems to be an unreasonable request, but Li Qiao has already agreed in his heart at this time. The reason is very simple because opportunity is the most important thing.

Many people complain that society is unfair. Of course, yes, society is unfair, but how many people have missed opportunities?

Seeing that Li Qiao was silent, Mourinho mistakenly thought that Li Qiao was dissatisfied with his salary.

"I can guarantee that as long as you can score three goals in the league, we will sign a first-team contract immediately. How about that?"

Li Qiao raised his glass and said, "Jose, I need to think about it. I will go to your office tomorrow morning. If possible, I will bring my agent with me. How about that?"

Mourinho smiled, "Of course."

*****

Sosa's eyes widened and he suddenly took Li Qiao's hand, "Qiao, are you stupid? You should agree immediately."

sweat!

"You are my agent, I have to tell you."

Sosa's head shook like a rattle, "No need, no need, that's an opportunity for the first team. Even if you don't get paid a penny, you should go."

More sweat!

"Uncle, are you scolding me?"

Sosa realized that he was speaking out of turn, laughed, and scratched his head, "I didn't mean it that way, but this is really a good opportunity."

"Let's do this. As long as you become the main player of Porto's first team, I will marry Lorinda to you."

Great sweat.

In fact, Lorinda was eavesdropping not far away. When she heard what her father said, she cursed in her heart.

"Asshole, stinky old man."

Li Qiao scratched his head in embarrassment, "Okay, let's go to Jose's office together tomorrow."

"good."

*****

Raven had mixed emotions when he heard the news. On the one hand, of course he was happy for his good brother, but...

"Li Qiao, I think the club has taken all the advantages. This is a bit disrespectful. Since you are dropped to the first team, I must at least give you the salary of the first team."

Li Qiao laughed. If his mental age was more than ten years younger, he would think so. After all, he was in the second grade at that time, but now Li Qiao has recognized the reality of society.

Before you have the strength to prove yourself, don't talk about fairness or unfairness, that is a bit naive.

"Don't you believe I can establish myself in the first team?"

"believe."

Raven's answer was obviously full of guilt. It is human nature to be indolent and indolent. It would be really uncomfortable to go to a place with more fierce competition.

"Leaven, the world of football is a world of the jungle. There is not so much affection here. Everything is achieved through kicking. In Europe, if a forward does not score a goal in a game, he will be criticized immediately. Since we have chosen

If you take this path, you must accept the rules of the game."

After hearing this, Lei Wen also felt that it made sense, nodded and said nothing.

*****

The next day, Sosa and Li Qiao came to Mourinho's office. Porto's youth training is famous throughout Europe, but even so, there are still very few people from the second team who can knock on the door of Mourinho's office.

The two sides reached a consensus and Mourinho pushed over a contract. Sosa was stunned and said, "Didn't you say you won't sign a new contract?"

"Yes, this is a restrictive contract."

Sosa looked at it and understood, and then asked Li Qiao to read it. In fact, the general idea is what he said yesterday, but it was implemented in words. It can be seen that European clubs do things very formally, which also avoids some unpleasantness.

Li Qiao signed his name, and Mourinho stretched out his hand, "You are now my player. You can't play in the Champions League. I can help you sign up for the second half of the season. But for the Portuguese Super League, you have to be ready at any time."

Show up."

Li Qiao chuckled.

"Let's go, meet your new friends, and integrate into the new team as soon as possible. I don't want to see you go back to the second team again."

Li Qiao said: "Don't worry, Jose, if I can't gain a foothold in the first team, I will leave Porto. We in China have a saying that says a good horse never turns back."

Mourinho didn't know what it meant and why it was associated with horses eating grass, but Li Qiao's attitude was very clear and it was impossible to return to the B team.

"good."

Mourinho put his arm around Li Qiao and said, "Let's go to the training ground. Training starts today!"

Li Qiao looked forward to training with his new teammates, Baia, Deco, Maniche, and Carvalho. Of course, the one he looked forward to the most was Mourinho, the madman who was later called Uncle Bird by Chinese fans.
