soon.This kind of player buying and selling has been done by both of them countless times, and everyone has contract templates in their hands.Rist readily threw out [-] dollars, and Mark Kulu agreed directly without any nonsense.In just ten minutes, two people resolved the ownership of the two players.Players against?In a place like Côte d'Ivoire, playing football is the only way they can change their lives.If they don't play football, they will never get out of that slum.

Satisfied with Rist's $[-], Mark Kulu simply relinquished ownership.That's what he's running this school for, to train players and sell them to those clubs.Whether it is sold to a club or an agent, he doesn't care, he only cares about money.Even if Rist sells Toure and Kone to a certain mine, it's none of his business.

Rist hopes that the flow of water will continue, hoping to turn Côte d'Ivoire into a player production base of his own.Likewise Mark Kulu wanted to do business with Rist for a long time.Sell ​​the Ivorian players in your hands to Rist as much as possible.Therefore, the two parties had a very tacit understanding and completed the contract very simply.It is also the first collaboration between the two.

Wenger?Rist sneered, so what if Wenger and Mark Kulu have a good friendship.With Jerome Anderson, it will be very difficult for Mark Kulu to enter Arsenal within the next ten years.After David Dunn left Arsenal in 07, Jerome Anderson's influence in Arsenal would slowly decrease.At that time, Rist and Marc Kulu can already cooperate to monopolize the Ivorian players. At that time, maybe Wenger wants the Ivorian players and asks for himself.

"Go, Rist. I'll take you to see the two players you want."

Kolo Touré and Bakary Kone didn't understand why the others were gone, but they were the two who stayed.Kolo Touré is older, and he will be 17 in just over four months.And he is the eldest in the family, he has to support their family.So it is more stable.

The two of them waited for about 20 minutes before seeing Mark Kulu, the principal of the school, come out.Mark Kulu has a high reputation in Côte d'Ivoire football. All young players in Côte d'Ivoire who hope to use football to change their lives hope to enter the Abidjan Football Training Center to play.Both want to be picked by Mark Kulu.

This is the place that all young Ivorian players yearn for.Seeing Mark Kulu, they immediately greeted Mark Kulu.They also saw the man next to Mark Kulu, but they didn't know each other.

Mark Kulu came to Kolo Toure and Bakary Kone with a smile. He is still in a good mood today.These two players were exaggerated when he told Rist, saying how good they were.In fact, Kolo Toure in front of him has joined their school for less than a year. He was discovered by scouts when he was playing football on the street, and then entered this school.And Bakary Kone has only been at the club for two years.

The training fee for the two of them is actually not high at all, but today they sold for [-] US dollars.This is really a lucrative business, and the school's expenses for cultivating them do not add up to $[-].

"Kolo, Bakari, let me introduce you. This is the agent Rister Czerny from Europe, he wants to take you to play in Europe. I have agreed, you are now his players .Pack up and leave school."

Both Kolo Touré and Bakary Kone looked at Mark Kulu in surprise.These young African players, like South American players, want to play in Europe in order to change their lives.Because for them, going to Europe to play football means money.But they are very young, not even 17 years old.They were a little overwhelmed, because they changed from school people to players of this stranger in front of them.Their ownership is thus transformed.

"Okay, you follow him."

Mark Kulu didn't care what the two young players in front of him thought.Because in his opinion, they sold [-] U.S. dollars, which has already brought him income.As for how they develop in the future, it doesn't matter to him.

Or Kolo Toure's quick response.He started taking off his sneakers.

"What are you doing?"

Rist was a little puzzled.What Kolo Toure should do now is not to pack his luggage, how to start taking off his shoes.Kolo Toure looked at Rist and replied seriously: "These sneakers belong to the school, we can't wear them."

Rist turned to look at Mark Kulu.Mark Kulu nodded and said in a low voice: "These sneakers are all arranged by the school. They have to put their sneakers in their lockers after class, and they can't wear them when they go home."

Rist didn't quite understand, but he didn't continue to ask.But Mark Kulu said to Kolo Toure and Bakari Kone: "The training clothes and sneakers are given to you by the school. You take them away."

"Really?"

Both Kolo Toure and Bakary Kone looked happy, but they still took off their sneakers.Then he held it in his hand and ran barefoot into the dormitory.Soon, both of them were carrying a small bundle, and they had nothing.Just some tracksuits and sneakers, plus some very worn clothes.Then nothing.Still barefoot of course.

"Kolo, Bakari, you will be my players in the future. I will take you to Europe and let you play there. Your income will be much higher than when you were in Côte d'Ivoire, maybe ten times, maybe [-] times. A hundred times, maybe even a thousand times. Of course, it depends on your strength and hard work. You are still young, and I will discuss the contract with your parents. Start with your family, Ke Luo."

…………

Buying their title was the start, and Rist also had to talk to their parents about their contracts.In fact, what contracts can they get themselves.Now in Europe, Rist needs to support them.It's just that their parents still have to make sure that there must be no trouble in the future.Rist was driving a car. After Rist arrived in Côte d'Ivoire this time, the Football Association of Côte d'Ivoire specially found a car for Rist.The Abidjan Football Training Center is in the center of Abidjan, while Kolo Touré's home is in the suburbs, farther away.

The traffic in Abidjan is very good, and Rist did not encounter any congestion when driving.It passed the affluent area of ​​Abidjan very smoothly, and slowly left the center of Abidjan.The changes are obvious, and there are even several buildings over [-] floors in the center of Abidjan.But after leaving the central area, some squares came out first, which were considered relatively beautiful squares.

But after passing that position, what caught Rist's eyes were patches of garbage.It really feels like it's all garbage. In fact, this is not a garbage dump, but a slum.

"Mr. Czerny, can you stop for a moment. That's my brother playing football over there."

Came to a remote street, Kolo Toure called Rist.Rist stopped the car when he heard what Kolo Toure said, and then looked out the window.Found a group of kids playing football there.Rist was curious, Kolo Toure's younger brother should be Yaya Toure.But after looking carefully, Yaya Toure was not found, so I asked Kolo Toure, "Which one is your brother?"

"The big guy in midfield is my brother."

Rist looked at what Kolo Touré said, and there was indeed a tall man in the midfield.Rist also paid attention to him at first, but he was too thin.She's so skinny that she can't compare to the future Yaya Toure.But judging by his appearance, he does look like the future Yaya Toure.And Rist also saw a very interesting phenomenon.Yaya Toure's players played barefoot, while their opponents wore boots.

"Kolo, why don't your brothers wear shoes?"

Kolo Touré watched them play football and said indignantly: "We grew up playing football barefoot like this. The first time I wore sneakers was after I entered school. The other side is next door. They The family has money, and they keep coming to us and challenging us."

"kindness--"

Rist elongated slightly.This is the starkest contrast. Those who came to challenge Yaya Touré should be children from middle-class families in Côte d'Ivoire.They can wear jerseys and sneakers, and Yaya Toure is a group of slum kids who can't even afford a pair of shoes.You can only play football with others with bare feet.

"We're never afraid of them even when we're barefoot. Are we, Bakary?"

"Of course. I hate those bastards the most, wearing sneakers and thinking that I am so great." Bakary Kone also echoed Kolo Toure.

Rist smiled.Children are competitive, and it is important that at such a young age children are already beginning to have class distinctions.If nothing special, the children of the slums grow up to remain in the slums, while the middle class remain the elite of Côte d'Ivoire.Of course, those French and French descendants are still the rulers behind the scenes of this society, and they are also the most beautiful group of people.

"Kolo, your brother is a good footballer. How old is he?"

"I'm going to be 15 soon."

"15 years old? It's not young anymore. Come to your house to see if you can take your brother with you."
