24 The Man Who Stopped at the Door

As Su Dong and Ronnie said before, the agent is important but not important.

For example, Quaresma, who can enter the squad in the first round of the new season, or even play directly on the bench, his potential and strength are important, but the efforts behind the agent should not be underestimated.

The first is opportunity. Nikolai, who was introduced with a lot of money, did not perform well in the summer warm-up match. Sporting Lisbon wanted to introduce Jardel, so they did not hesitate to send away three main players such as winger Damonsa, which led to the former There was a personnel vacuum in the attacking lineup on the sidelines.

So, in this case, Quaresma and Marcelino, two young talents, both entered the first team.

Who is on?

There is definitely a struggle behind this.

The role of brokers is reflected at this time, especially big-name brokers like Vega.

After Quaresma became famous, it was a three-way win-win for the player, the agent and the team.

In the past, Su Dong didn't understand this, but after being in contact with Ronnie and Jose Semedo for a long time, he naturally understood the rules and operations within the big team, and even heard that some players are obviously very strong, But it is because of various reasons that the opportunity to perform is not available.

The value of the agent is reflected in whether he can make the players play with peace of mind.

Ronnie is also thinking about renewing his contract and raising his salary, which is actually a very normal interest appeal.

He thinks he is worthy of a new contract, then he can negotiate it through his agent. Whether the club will give it or not, we will know after talking, and now Vega's attitude is that Quaresma is developing very smoothly, the first team There is also Marcelino, Ronnie is still young, so he will press him first.

But Ronnie couldn't wait.

Sometimes, the contradiction is so simple and direct.

...

"I have been in contact with Ronnie a few times before, and I believe you should have heard of it. He mentioned you to me and praised you a lot. He said that even if you are in the youth team of Sporting Lisbon, you can still play as the main force. , let me have a look."

After hearing what Mendes said, Su Dong suddenly realized that it was Ronnie who was recommending him.

He had borrowed some money before and asked Ronnie to take his father to see a doctor in Lisbon, but this kid reciprocated.

"Then what do you think?" Su Dong asked with concern.

He was a little nervous, because he really wanted to know, in the eyes of these professional brokers, what level did he have?

Mendes did not answer, but turned to look at Jorge Manuel beside him.

"In the youth training camp of Sporting Lisbon, there are two forwards on the same team as Ronnie, one is Keithwei, who is tall and strong, and the other is Lawrenzo, who is very fast. My preliminary judgment is that you and Keithwei will interact with each other. There is an advantage, slightly less than Lawrenzo."

After listening to Jorge Manuel's evaluation, Su Dong didn't have any ideas, but Mendes looked at his partner in surprise, his eyes filled with questions, as if he was saying, are you sure? Is this assessment fair?

Jorge Manuel nodded slightly towards Mendes in affirmation.

Gisvi is an air tyrant trained by Sporting Lisbon's youth training, not to mention Lawrenzo's strength. He was loaned to Bristol in League One last season and performed very well. stay on the team.

It has been reported before that if Jardel does not come, Lawrenzo will be promoted to the first team as Nikulei's substitute.

If according to Jorge Manuel's evaluation, Mendes feels that his positioning of Su Dong should be mentioned again.

"We watched this game today, and the biggest feeling to me is that Atlético de Portugal can't satisfy you anymore," said Jorge Manuel, "I suggest a short winter break and a long one. At the end of the season, you should go to a better team, play in a better league, and keep the momentum going, that's important.

"

Su Dong understood that he had just turned seventeen years old and was in the stage of rapidly improving his strength.

Games, especially those with training value, are very important to him.

For example, Quaresma is playing better and better in the first team now, and he has made rapid progress. Although Ronnie played well in the youth team and played very calmly, his progress was obviously slower than that of Quaresma.

"Frankly speaking, Su, even without Ronnie's strong recommendation, I am very interested in you. I know your previous agent was very unprofessional, but it doesn't matter. If you want, I will be responsible for your business in the future. I will help you draw up a detailed short- and medium-term career plan as soon as possible and do my best to plan for you."

…………

…………

Mendez's proposal is very attractive to Su Dong.

What he needs most urgently now is to work hard to improve his own strength, but at the same time, he also needs an agent to run and plan for him outside.

Head coach Gorba told him before that three or four teams were watching him, and Su Dong at least had to figure out what he was going to do next?

Transfers are really important for professional players.

Some players made an inadvertent transfer, and the development momentum died. For example, Benfica's winger Simao went to Barcelona with the title of Figo II, but the result? The season came back bleak.

It's not that Simao's strength is not good, but that his move to Barcelona was a mistake.

Therefore, finding a reliable broker is as important as improving your strength.

But even so, Su Dong did not negotiate with Mendez on the spot, because he did not know Mendez well.

If it was Jose Vega, Su Dong probably wouldn't hesitate.

...

Back at the apartment, Su Dong practiced for a while.

After insisting on physical training for a period of time, the strength of his four physical attributes has been greatly improved, the minimum strength has reached 71 points, the speed has reached 78 points, and the explosive power has also reached 76 points , the endurance has reached 77 points, these are the results of his persistent training for days.

Not only that, but the technical attributes are also above 70 points.

During this period of time, Su Dong was not idle either, and he had accumulated a lot of champion points. He saw that the four defensive attributes were almost full, so he simply raised his potential to 99 points, and now his strength is also there. 60 points or more.

As an unpretentious and boring virgin man, Su Dong still wanted to train up all his attributes before upgrading.

In addition, Su Dong still has a star ability card that has not been exchanged. He still has no time to do so. He wants to practice Batty GOL more handy, and then exchange for a new star ability card.

Sooner or later, he will become a dual-card dual-standby man!

The strength has improved, and the training will naturally become more handy.

But in the face of Pontes' training, Su Dong still felt a lot of pressure because the difficulty had also increased.

For example, for push-ups, he gradually shortened the distance between his arms from the original double-arm support, and now he has started to try single-arm support, doing both arms in turn. It is conceivable that this is still very difficult.

However, Su Dong was able to persevere after tasting the sweetness from the hard training in the recent period.

...

After practicing for a while, he was sweating again. After taking a shower, Su Dong washed his clothes.

Sitting on the bed, seeing that the time was about the same, he called Ronnie's dormitory.

It was Jose Semedo who answered the phone.

This fellow was always in such a cheerful mood. As soon as he heard Su Dong's voice, he started talking about this evening's game.

"Ronnie killed three of the opponent's players by himself. It's a pity that he stopped at the door."

And the price of this is that Semedo was kicked by Ronnie and ran away with a hoot.

After Ronnie took the call, Su Dong asked about the game, but he didn't care too much. After all, the Lisbon Sporting youth team's game didn't need him as an outsider to worry about.

Su Dong was quick to talk about Mendes.

"I think he's right, this next step is very important to you, and you shouldn't be too rushed to make a decision."

"According to the transfer regulations, the fastest time is January 1st. In this case, you still have three months to think about it slowly. The most important thing is to see if there are any games you can play. If you want to be on the bench. , not even Real Madrid."

Su Dong agreed with this.

He should still be down-to-earth, talk to the other party slowly, and see the sincerity of the other party.

Of course, this shouldn't be his concern, so he'd better have an agent.

"I have known Mendes, he is quite reliable, and he is a very attentive person, he speaks and does things well, and most importantly, he will take our ideas and needs to heart, and Vega can't do it. ."

"As I said just now, Vega is like Real Madrid. It has a big name, a big name, and a lot of resources. But for us at this stage, it's useless, it's just beautiful."

Ronnie has a very clear plan and understanding of this.

"Besides, don't take agents too seriously, they provide services for us, and we have full control over the terms of the contract, like the one I signed with Jose Vega, although I delegated all the business to him, but in fact, if I want to contact him about the contract, all I need is a fax paper."

The main reason why Ronnie has not made a decision is to take into account other more aspects, such as Sporting Lisbon.

He recently communicated with the technical director Aurelio Pereira. If the technical director does not object, he will immediately terminate the contract with Vega and switch to Mendes.

Su Dong has absolutely no experience in dealing with brokers.

The liar he dismissed before was said to be an agent, but in fact it is not formal at all. It is said that he is not even qualified as an agent, so strictly speaking, Su Dong's entire overseas transfer is not standardized, and it may happen at any time. question.

Now listening to Ronnie say this, Su Dong also understands that the players actually have a lot of dominance in brokerage affairs.

If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.

Today's Su Dong is just a player in the third-level league, and his biggest advantage is his youth.

Since Mendes can be valued by Ronnie, and he has also signed the promising star of Sporting Lisbon, Hugo Viana, there is no need for Sudong to worry too much.

Authorize player affairs to him, let him plan, and everyone will be happy if it succeeds, and make substitutions later.

Thinking of this, Su Dong has nothing to worry about.
