Chapter 34 Hawkeye Manager

"You shouldn't have come to this place to drink."

Tang Feng was drinking alone in the bar, but suddenly a man said this to him, which made him feel that the atmosphere was very strange.

"Sir, are you talking to me?" Tang Feng subconsciously looked in the sound. He had to confirm whether this guy was drunk and talking nonsense.

"That's right, the Chinese translator of the Betis team!" The man took a sip of wine with a calm look on his face, and then continued.

He directly told his identity and proved that the man knew him, and he didn't look like he was drunk. This surprised Tang Feng even more.

"Why shouldn't you come? Can you give me a reason?" Tang Feng asked in a humble and arrogant manner. At this time, he began to doubt whether this guy was a racist, right?

You should know that in Spain, the problem of racial discrimination is relatively serious. In the future, some black players such as Etoo have suffered racial discrimination from fans on the stadium.

After seeing Tang Feng's expression, the man smiled and shook his head and said, "The reason is very simple. This is the fan bar of our Sevilla team. And you... are a Betis!"

After hearing the man's words, Tang Feng suddenly realized. No wonder the customers around him looked at him in a friendly manner. It turned out that this time he did not walk into the Betis fan bar, but to the territory of his archenemy Sevilla in the city.

Tang Feng patted his forehead helplessly, sighing that he was not very lucky.

Originally, as a translator, he should not be hostile to Sevilla fans. This kind of treatment is generally only enjoyed by Betis players, coaches and even bosses. However, his glorious performance against Barcelona last time made him a celebrity in the city of Sevilla. Therefore, Sevilla fans also know him, and they also know that this Chinese is now serving as the team's assistant coach. Therefore, he naturally became an object that is not popular with Sevilla people.

"According to your words, should I drink this glass of wine quickly and leave?" Tang Feng had a good impression of the man who took the initiative to remind him, so he joked with him.

"No need, as long as you don't show any extreme performance, they shouldn't do anything to you. We Sevillas are not violent!" Judging from the tone of this man, he should also be a supporter of the Sevilla team. But he did not seem to show any hostility towards Tang Feng.

When Tang Feng looked at the man carefully, he suddenly felt that the man looked familiar.

"Sir, I'll ask you a risk. Have I seen you somewhere? For example, on TV?" Tang Feng finally couldn't help but ask his own questions.

"I'm sure we've never met before. As for the possibility of seeing me on TV, it shouldn't be very high. I've seen you on TV and newspapers!" The man replied with a self-deprecating smile.

"The possibility is not very high? That means there is still a possibility. Or... are you a player of the Seville team?" Tang Feng continued to ask, because he believed in his memory. Before traveling through time, as a football writer, many times, the football knowledge applied in the novel needs to be searched in memory. If you have to ask the master Baidu at any time, it would be a waste of time.

"Yes, I'm a Sevilla player. But I'm just a guy who has been playing as a substitute for nine years. So, I said it's not very likely that you'll see me on TV. Unless I'm sweeping over the bench, I might have a second shot!" the man said with a wry smile.

After nine years as a substitute, Sevilla.

After obtaining these two key messages, Tang Feng felt that he was getting closer and closer to the answer.

Suddenly, a passage from the outline he wrote before traveling through time flashed through his mind.

"Hawkeye Manager Monchi, who was a substitute goalkeeper for Sevilla for nine years, may be because of his long-term substitute and unable to play, Monchi, who has more quiet time and independent observation and learning off the court, has enabled him to develop the ability to observe players!"

This information was accidentally discovered by Tang Feng when he was looking up the information in order to write about the La Liga team.

This future transfer manager of Sevilla can be said to be a classic figure for European football club managers to "buy low and sell high" in the future.

His most classic move was Baptista, who dug up for 2.5 million euros, brought back a transfer fee of 24 million euros to the club two years later. After that, he copied this miracle. The unknown right-back Alves, who bought at a low price in Brazil, was sold to the highest value of the world football fullback after Sevilla's training for several seasons!

More importantly, unlike other clubs that rely on player buying and selling, their performance is unstable.

Under Monci's management, Sevilla Club not only made a fortune in the transfer market, but also had a very good record in the team. It won the UEFA Cup twice, and was also defeated by the European Super Cup, the arrogant Barcelona at the time. In those years, it is no exaggeration to say that Sevilla is the most glorious club in La Liga, besides Barcelona and Real Madrid!

Anyone who runs out to drink a drink can meet such a future powerhouse. Tang Feng suddenly feels that he should take back his previous thoughts. His luck today is not bad at all, but he is very lucky.

"I remember, you should be Sevilla's goalkeeper, right? If I remember correctly, you should be... Monchi?" Of course, Tang Feng was not sure if the outline in his mind was wrong, so he confirmed again.

"How did you know?" After hearing Tang Feng's words, the man changed his previous calmness and was obviously stunned for a moment!

"Haha, Mr. Monkey. Betis and Sevilla are mortal enemies, and we will meet in the next round of the game. I will understand the situation of the opponent before the game... It should be normal, right?" Tang Feng said lying. Before the game, he and the assistant coaches did need to understand the situation of the opponent. But their understanding obviously would not be as detailed as Monkey, a goalkeeper who has been "stable" in the bench position for nine years.

However, Tang Feng's statement still convinced Mengqi. Mengqi nodded suddenly and said, "No wonder!"

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Mengqi should be over 30 years old, right? I wonder what plans are in the future?" Tang Feng began to ask about Mengqi's situation again.

In his opinion, if you have the opportunity to cooperate with this manager with unique vision, it must be very good, right?

Tang Feng is a time traveler from the future. He is familiar with the debut locations of many future stars. Mengqi is very good at observing players. More importantly, he is very good at operating transfers and... poaching people!

How bug would such a combination exist?

"I don't know yet. I decided to retire after playing this season. After retirement, the club may arrange a position for me." Mengqi said with a confused look on his face.

In reality, Monci didn't receive the heavy responsibility until 2002 when Sevilla's new chairman Del Nido took office, becoming the club manager and in charge of the transfer.

It's only 2000 now, and he may have received an invitation from the club. But perhaps he was just a free time for him, not as hard as he would in the future.

When Tang Feng heard Meng Qi's answer, he was very depressed. At this time, it was a good opportunity to poach him. It's a pity that he is nothing now, so why should he poach others?

Tang Feng was not so arrogant that he would just fool him a few words, and he would give up his stable job to conquer the world with him!

However, Tang Feng would not give up such an opportunity easily.

Who is he? He is a master of fooling around!

Even if you can't poach others now, it would be nice to establish a certain relationship with him!

"A idle job who doesn't have to do anything but has no power?" Tang Feng asked casually.

Mengqi didn't expect such a stranger who had met for the first time to ask such a question, because this question was actually a bit rude. However, perhaps Tang Feng recognized him before, which made him feel valued, so he still answered Tang Feng's question: "Maybe, after all, I didn't have much achievements in my player age and was not considered a club merit. It was a good arrangement to get me into the club to work."

When Mengqi answered the question, Tang Feng kept staring at his eyes. He noticed the unwillingness that flashed through Mengqi's eyes. This unwillingness also encouraged Tang Feng to decide to continue to encourage him.

"What about yourself? What kind of position do you want? In my opinion, you have been sitting on the bench for nine years and should be good at observing players, right? I think you can definitely become a good scout, and of course you may also become a good transfer manager!" Tang Feng said this sentence in thought.

Tang Feng's words surprised Meng Qi again.

Because his ideal is to become a club manager with a transfer collection. And he is also very confident in his ability to observe players.

But before that, no one seemed to think so except himself.

However, the young Chinese in front of him saw this, which made Mengqi feel too strange.

Looking at Mengqi's surprised performance, Tang Feng was very satisfied, so he continued: "I'm sorry. I might take this for granted. However, if I could become a head coach, I would definitely want to find someone like Mr. Mengqi to help me find players and transfer operations! Of course, if I were the chairman of a club, I might directly hire Mr. Mengqi to become the club's transfer manager!"

Anyway, bragging does not require tax payments. Tang Feng can be said to be a scattered person and flattered Mengqi!

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Mengqi suddenly felt like a thousand-mile horse met Bole. Of course, if he knew the story of Qianli Horse and Bole.

However, he soon realized that the young man in front of him was just an assistant coach and translator. The words he said were impossible to accomplish, and there was nothing to be happy about.

"Hehe, thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Tang." So Mengqi replied with a smile.

From Mengqi's performance, Tang Feng saw his distrust. In other words, he exposes a beautiful bubble he has blown for him.

At this time, Tang Feng knew that if he didn't give him a strong medicine, he would definitely leave him with an impression of exaggeration and big talk.

"Please believe me, Mr. Monkey. My words just now come from the heart. It's definitely not a compliment to you. It's a pity that I don't have the ability yet, otherwise I would have to take the blame to dig you from Sevilla to Betis!" Tang Feng said seriously. This time, he was very sincere. Because in his opinion, if he really became the head coach, he would really hope that such a manager would cooperate with him.

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Meng Qi just smiled without saying a word.

"It seems that Mr. Monkey still can't believe me. Let's make a bet. If I become a head coach before you become a transfer experience at Seville Club, come and help me. I believe that with your perspective, we will definitely make a difference in the transfer market!" Tang Feng continued, and even came up with a bet.

Seeing Tang Feng lobbying him so seriously, Meng Qi was very surprised. Because he couldn't figure out what kind of characteristics he was making this young man crazy for him like this?

"Haha, Mr. Tang. I really thank you for your trust. However, I'd better wait for you to become a head coach before you can say anything!" Meng Qi's words were ambiguous. He neither directly refused nor agreed to Tang Feng's bet.

In fact, Monchi is also leaving a way out for himself. After all, his future at the Seville Club after retirement is still uncertain.

"Well, Mr. Mengqi, this sentence is enough with you. Come and have a drink for our possible cooperation opportunities in the future!" Tang Feng was satisfied after hearing what Mengqi said. After all, he is nothing now, and it is impossible for others to make a promise to himself. In fact, if he did not reject himself, it was his success.

Meng Qi looked at the wine glass raised by Tang Feng, and after a moment of silence, he also raised his cup and clashed with Tang Feng: "Well, cheers!"
