Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Drogba has a good impression of Sporting Lisbon, firstly because Didier Deschamps of the French national team has just transferred from Chelsea to Sporting Lisbon.

Drogba has dual citizenship of Ivory Coast and France, and plays in France, so he is very familiar with everyone in the French team.

The second reason is that Drogba felt that Mr. Triguera's assistant, who spoke to him in French, was very agreeable, spoke politely, and understood the points that young players care about.

He told Drogba directly that this was the football best suited for him. They wouldn't let Drogba showcase his superior and skillful footwork; they would find ways to utilize Drogba's strengths.

The assistant sent Drogba some highlights of Moreirense's matches.

Among them, Moreirense's center forward Anderson plays a style of football that Drogba particularly likes.

Drogba even felt he would do much better than Anderson.

If the head coach prefers and is willing to use a center forward with Drogba's style, then Drogba's playing time and tactical importance to the team will naturally be guaranteed.

Nobody wants to give up what they're good at and have to adapt to some new style of play.

Guingamp seems to be hoping to develop Drogba into a player similar to Trezeguet, but Drogba feels he can do more than Trezeguet.

Finally, the assistant told Drogba, "I know you have children, so I applied for an extra housing allowance for you from the club. You can bring them over; the pressure won't be too great."

"You can also send the money back so they can live a better life."

"I think the latter is better, after all, your children are still young. And I believe that with your abilities, you can bring them to your side in two or three years, no matter where you play football."

This gave Drogba tremendous encouragement.

Of course, the head coach's assistant also reminded Drogba to eat less junk food so as not to fail the team's entry test.

This was definitely the best person Drogba had ever met besides his uncle Michel.

As Maxa watched these transactions, he was so terrified he could hardly breathe.

You want a Barzagli for 100,000, but you want it for 200,000.

You want Drogba for 400,000, even though he costs 200,000.

The key issue is that even at the former price, neither of them is necessarily worthwhile.

What do you mean by that?

Buying at the bottom?

All in?

Stock hedging?

If you're going to try, you should at least try to recruit some players who are recognized in the youth training system as having the potential to succeed.

"By the way, have you heard anything from the scouts in South America?" Deng Kai then remembered that the club had some informants in South America.

However, it's a collaborative model, not an exclusive one.

"Yes, they said they brought a group of young players, who are going around trying them out," Trigla said. "I looked at their basic stats and some videos, and none of them seemed particularly good."

"By the way, this is Corinthians' rising star, Gutierrez. They're asking for 400,000 euros."

Deng Kai glanced at it but didn't recognize it.

"I've heard that player ownership is very complicated in South America, and the asking prices are often very complex," Maxa said worriedly. "Based on Gutierrez's performance, 400,000 would be a good price, but I'm afraid the final price might be 700,000 or 800,000!"

Trigra nodded, "That's very likely."

In the early days, many teams only owned half of the South American players when they bought them, which led to many disputes and lawsuits over the transactions.

"But they also said that if we buy Gutierrez, they can give us two more players for an additional 100,000 euros. One is Kepler Lavelan Lima Ferreira, damn, his name is hard to remember, and the other is..." Maxa loves to take advantage of these kinds of small deals.

When he used to work as a cleaner for the team, he always managed to save some money on toilet cleaner by buying two and getting one free, and then secretly pocketed the savings.

"Who?" Deng Kai suddenly stopped talking on the phone.

"Gutierrez?" Maxa was startled.

Deng Kai shook his head: "No, next one."

Maxa: "Toilet cleaner, buy two get one free, oh no, Kepler Laveland..."

Deng Kai nodded immediately: "That's him! We want him!"

Maxa was stunned: "Huh? This... buy one get two free, you still want it?"

Deng Kai shook his head again: "No, we can't do it like that. We have to be careful when doing business with South Americans. How about this... we tell them we want Gutierrez, but we'll give them the two players to them for free. We won't spend a penny."

"In addition, we need to make sure that the players are given to us completely, and we need to check the ownership of both players."

Maxa looked troubled: "But if we want to check Gutierrez's ownership, the price probably won't be this high. There's something wrong with this deal, otherwise it wouldn't be our turn."

Deng Kai laughed: "Who said they were going to check Gutierrez? If they had something to hide, they would have only given us the ownership documents of the two players they sent the first time we asked."

"Once we confirm that there are no issues with Kepler Laveran's ownership, the transaction can be completed."

"If there are any problems with the Gutierrez deal, we'll sell off a portion of Gutierrez's ownership, and they should be able to get it back for 250,000."

Maxa was speechless: "So, in the end, we lost 150,000?"

Deng Kai pointed to the names written in the notebook and said, "Your math is good, but...aren't there two other players?"

Maxa was frantic: "What use are players they don't want? Do these two have some real talent in them?"

Deng Kai looked at Triguera and said, "Who knows, he might be the ironclad defender for the Portuguese national team for the next fifteen years?"

Triguera nodded in agreement, but asked with some doubt, "You've never been to South America, how can you be so confident in this player?"

Deng Kai evaded the question by saying, "Last year, didn't my personal foundation sponsor Argentine player Messi? Later, I had a conflict with the Argentinians, and they tried to outshine me by comparing me to various young Argentine players."

"Brazil took the opportunity to launch a selection process for talented young players. I've seen highlights of this player's matches; he's very fierce, mentally strong, extremely aggressive, and has talent in defense and passing."

"He can definitely make it, he's really strong... probably much stronger than Fonte!"

Fonte: If I am guilty, let the law judge me, but why do you have to humiliate me with the ridicule of readers? Just because I played in the Chinese Super League? Holy crap... suddenly the logic makes sense, I don't seem to be wronged after all?

Soon, the person in charge from South America who brought a group of young players to "scam" completed the deal with Sporting Lisbon.

They originally planned to scam the Madeira Maltime Football Club, taking advantage of their ignorance and small club, thinking that they wouldn't face any trouble even if their scheme was exposed.

Unexpectedly, a complete idiot took the bait.

This big fool was very happy and happily completed the three-person deal, which involved buying one and getting two free, with Gutierrez as the main figure.

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
