361 Accidental Discovery(1/2)
Five million euros, a price that both parties are very satisfied with!
Carlos, the manager of Sporting Lisbon, is very happy. You should know that as the most popular and promising Quaresma, the highest offer for those giant clubs is only 8 million euros.
Compared to Quaresma, who shining with light, although he is also a young genius, Ronaldo's glory has undoubtedly dimmed a lot.
Such a young man living in the shadow of Quaresma could easily sell for 5 million euros, which made Carlos feel that this money was too easy to make!
Similarly, Tang Feng is quite satisfied with the price.
First of all, the reality that Robben and Puerta are about to undergo surgery makes him urgently need to find a wing player. Tang Feng doesn't want to find such a temporary firefighter. Buying Ronaldo is a supplement to the team's wing, and at the same time, it also gives the team a future superstar!
Secondly, Tang Feng knew that in the summer of history, Ronaldo's transfer to Manchester United will be worth 12.24 million pounds! The price is three times that of now. Moreover, considering Ronaldo's future achievements, this investment is definitely a sure profit!
Perhaps Carlos believed that Sporting Lisbon had a great advantage in the transfer here. Therefore, when Tang Feng proposed to send some young youth training camp coaches to Sporting Lisbon to study and visit, Carlos agreed without hesitation and also said that he would give these young coaches the best learning environment.
This result undoubtedly made Tang Feng very satisfied. Starting this summer, he has planned to increase his investment in the youth training camp, so the club has also recruited some young coaches. Their professional knowledge may not be a big problem, but they are still somewhat lacking in youth training experience. And he can only set a general direction for the training of youth training, and he does not know much about the details. Therefore, letting the young coaches in the youth training camp study and visit more excellent youth training camps is definitely very helpful for the construction of the youth training camp.
...
After reaching an agreement with Sporting Lisbon, Tang Feng and Monkey also met with Ronaldo himself.
Xiao Xiao Luo is still very immature now, with a natural curl on his head and some freckles on his face. Tang Feng is unable to connect the seventeen-year-old boy in front of him with the famous handsome and handsome rich man in the world football future.
When Tang Feng explained his purpose and said that he was going to take him to Betis team, Ronaldo was stunned at first, and then pretended to be calm and said: "Is I in the first team? I don't want to play in the youth team!"
Xiao Xiao Luo seemed to be very confident in his words, but in fact he also showed his little inferiority complex.
Due to his outstanding performance in the youth team in the past two seasons, he was originally going to join Sporting Lisbon's first team next season. Therefore, he didn't want to transfer to Betis, but he played in the youth team. But he had to admit in his heart that the strength of Sporting Lisbon's first team may not be as strong as the first team of last season's La Liga champion Betis, so he asked such a question.
Tang Feng naturally saw this little bit of Ronaldo. He knew very well that before joining Manchester United and being trained by Ferguson, Ronaldo was actually a young man with inferiority. All the confidence he showed on the court was just to cover up his inner inferiority.
Therefore, Tang Feng also decided to encourage this kid and give him confidence: "Of course it's the first team. I won't buy a player for 5 million euros and then let him play in the youth team! However, you must also show the strength that matches the first team, otherwise I won't rule out that I will do that!"
Hearing Tang Feng's promise to let him play for a team, Ronaldo suddenly felt excited. Although since he embarked on the road of football, he firmly believed that he would definitely become the best player in the world in the future and join the top league and the best team. But he obviously did not expect happiness to come so quickly, and his career would start with the La Liga champion and double champion team Betis last season!
"I will definitely not give you such a chance!" Xiao Xiao Luo said firmly. This sentence seemed to be said to Tang Feng, but at the same time it seemed to be said to him.
"That's good, you have a great surname, and you should try to make your performance on the court as great as this surname!!!" Seeing the firm performance of Xiao Xiao Luo, Tang Feng struck while the iron was hot.
Little Luo did not reply, but Tang Feng saw firmness in his eyes.
Once upon a time, the same surname as the alien Ronaldo made Ronaldo ridiculed, and some even mocked him for not being worthy of such a surname. Now, after listening to Tang Feng's words, he is more determined than ever to prove that he is worthy of the surname Ronaldo!
After having a conversation with Xiao Xiao Luo's father again and notifying Xiao Xiao Luo to report to the team's training site tomorrow, Tang Feng and Mengqi left.
...
Since the negotiations with Sporting Lisbon were very smooth and Ronaldo himself had no objection to playing football at Betis, the morning time was not over, and Tang Feng and Monkey had already finalized the transfer, which was definitely high efficiency!
After looking at the time, it was only around 11 o'clock, and Tang Feng was not in a hurry to go back to the team's training place.
The morning team was led by Andres Ricardo and Boas for physical training, which did not require him to go there in person. He just needed to lead the team to conduct afternoon training classes.
The weather in Lisbon is very good today. Tang Feng and Monkey are also seizing their rare leisure time to experience the atmosphere of the city on the streets of Lisbon.
"Monkey, the little guys you have been looking for in China this year are very good. I went to see the training of the youth team that day, and David Silva and Juan Mata left a deep impression on me. I believe they can definitely grow into excellent players!" When they walked with Monkey, Tang Feng naturally talked about the youth training camp with him.
"Well, I have both impressions of the two little guys you mentioned. In fact, the range of talent selection in our club's youth training camp is not as wide as that of Barcelona and Real Madrid. After all, our youth training camp is not well-known, and the club's appeal is far less than that of them, so we often can only select from some young people that their two youth training camps do not like. Just like David Silva, he is the one whom Real Madrid youth training camp doesn't like. Juan Mata is what we poached from Real Ovi for many years..." Monkey said helplessly.
Monci is very confident in his vision, but Spain is the world of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even the Valencia youth training camp is more appealing than the Betis youth training camp. Therefore, sometimes the young players you like are unwilling to come, which makes Monci feel very depressed.
Tang Feng also understood Monci's difficulties. Real Madrid's Castia and Barcelona's La Macia can be said to be the dream places most of Spain's young players have.
Because once they join the two youth training camps, it means they have the opportunity to directly enter the two giant clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Even if the probability of those two youth training camps growing up and entering the first team smoothly is not more than one percent, the parents of timid players and young players are still flocking to those two youth training camps.
These situations cannot be changed by Tang Feng in a short period of time. He can only try his best to surpass these two giants in terms of performance, and at the same time let more people know his importance to young players. He also allows Betis youth training camp to cultivate a group of recognized talented players, thus forming a brand effect. Only then can the Betis youth training camp attract more talented young players.
"I understand what you said. This year I will let the club further increase its investment in youth training camps and increase the number of scouts. We will no longer limit ourselves to Spain, but can expand the selection of materials to Europe and even the whole world! This year we will first strive to set up a scout network in Europe, and then gradually add America, Africa and even Asia! In this way, we will not worry about not having reserve power!" Tang Feng thought about it and told Meng Qi about his plan.
This is also Tang Feng’s inner thoughts. Of course, he knows the importance of the youth training camp. He plans to learn from the Lamacia youth training camp and train the youth team players according to the first team’s football system. In this way, the youth team players can continuously supplement the first team. This not only reduces investment in the transfer market, but also ensures that the players are exactly what the team needs and are suitable for the team!
Of course, Tang Feng does not intend to hold performance classes in the youth training camp...
When Meng Qi heard Tang Feng’s plan, his eyes lit up. He had thought that Tang Feng was an ambitious person before, and now Tang Feng’s statement undoubtedly proves this!
He was excited to imagine that in the days to come, there were talented teenagers from all over the world in Betis’ youth training camp to provide a team for selection.
...
"Come on, son! You will definitely score! My son is the best forward!!!"
When Tang Feng and Meng Qi were walking and chatting, he suddenly heard a familiar language!
The reason why I am familiar with it is not that he remembers this voice, but because the person is speaking Chinese that Tang Feng is very familiar with.
Tang Feng could hear Chinese in a foreign country. He felt very friendly and immediately looked in the sound. He found that it was not far away that there was a small court where a football game was being played, and the sound came from the side of the court.
After discovering Tang Feng's actions, Meng Qi also looked over: "This should be just two middle school students teams playing football, right? You don't think we are so lucky. You can find geniuses in the roadside game if you pass by, right?"
"Haha, it's still early anyway, let's go and take a look. Even if I've been killing the time!" Tang Feng said with a smile. In fact, he just wanted to go and see the excitement because he heard the cheers of Chinese.
Meng Qi shrugged, meaning: You have the final say. Then he followed Tang Feng and walked over.
In front of me is a court without stands, and the ones running on the court are basically young players. As Monkey said, two middle school students teams are playing games.
There were some adults standing in fragments on the sidelines. They were probably the families of the young players on the field.
As soon as Tang Feng walked to the sidelines, he saw the man who had just shouted Chinese. He saw that the man had a stubborn face and his hair was a bit long, which was quite an artist-like intention. His eyes were focused on watching the game on the court.
Looking at him, Tang Feng found a yellow-skinned and dark-haired boy running there on the field. He should be the son of this man. However, judging from his appearance, the boy on the field was much more handsome than him.
Without interrupting the man to watch the game, Tang Feng himself also looked at the situation on the court.
Although Monkey did not expect to find geniuses in this group of middle school students, he also focused on watching the game due to his professional habits.
Unlike Mengqi's whole audience, Tang Feng's eyes were locked on the Chinese boy on the field like the middle-aged Chinese beside him.
Although he has no hope for Chinese football, Tang Feng still hopes that a person like Yao Ming on the basketball court can appear on the football field.
Such a character may not fundamentally change the appearance of Chinese football, but at least it can give Chinese fans some hope.
However, what Tang Feng regrets is that the Chinese boy on the field has performed very mediocre so far.
Judging from his position, he should be a striker.
Perhaps because his team is relatively weaker, he has relatively fewer chances to get the ball in front.
Even if he got the ball, he would not choose to break through with the ball. Instead, he protected the ball and passed the ball to his teammates who were inserted behind him.
Of course, if he simply serves as a frontcourt contact point, he will do well. He is a little thin and can also protect the ball steadily under the interference of the opponent's stronger defender and pass the ball out.
However, as a forward, it is obviously not enough to just have the skill of "protecting the ball like the emperor".
"Is that little forward your compatriot?" Mengqi, who was standing beside him, also noticed this Chinese boy.
"It should be!" Tang Feng replied.
"The performance is very average..." Mengqi said bluntly.
Tang Feng really wanted to fight back, but unfortunately the boy on the field performed a little unsatisfactory.
...
After being pushed and kicked by the opponent for a while, the Chinese boy's team finally made a decent attack.
The ball was first sent to the feet of the Chinese boy who was the fulcrum of the frontcourt. The Chinese boy protected the ball and then sent it to the left.
The teammate on the left is a very fast black player. After getting the ball, he forced himself to overtake and got rid of the opponent's right back.
"Wow, this kid is very fast!" Mengqi, who was standing by, couldn't help but praise after seeing the forced breakthrough of the black boy on the left. But soon he said regretfully, "It's a pity that his feet don't seem to be very good!"
It turned out that after this black guy formed a breakthrough, the quality of the cross he sent was not high. The ball was not fully kicked. It was a waist-length half-high ball, the height that the forward was the most difficult to deal with. And it seemed to be a little aimless!
Tang Feng's eyes were always staring at the Chinese boy, wanting to see how he would perform.
Who knew that this Chinese boy's performance made his eyes shine!
I saw him breaking into the middle of the penalty area at high speed. In fact, this was just a fake move. He suddenly inserted into the front point after a detour!
Then, facing the half-high ball, he directly stretched out his right foot and rubbed it with his toes.
After the ball changed slightly, it happened to fly to the far corner of the goal.
The opponent's goalkeeper had no time to react!
"Haha, it's a beautiful score! This is my son! The goal is my son! Son, it's a beautiful job!" The middle-aged Chinese man standing next to Tang Feng shouted excitedly. The first half of his words was first in Chinese, and the second half was changed to Portuguese, which was obviously showing off to the people around him.
Tang Feng and Meng Qi looked at each other tacitly.
Because both of them saw some clues from the Chinese boy's encirclement action just now.
This kid may not be able to break through with the ball, and may not be strong, but his awareness of grabbing points... seems to be very good!
Of course, Tang Feng and Meng Qi did not draw a conclusion immediately. After all, this was just a beautiful front point. Sometimes, some third-rate forwards might also make such an encirclement with a flash of inspiration.
Therefore, neither of them said anything, but continued to watch the game. However, compared to before, both of them had more expectations.
On the field!
The Chinese boy who scored the goal seemed very calm. He just smiled and slapped his teammates to celebrate with his high fives. It seemed that such a goal was not worth mentioning to him.
The game continues!
To be continued...
