Chapter 100 Mendes: You have no future in Real Madrid, go to Atletico Madrid

"Bai Ran! Bai Ran, we learned some time ago that you went to Real Madrid for trial training. What made you come back?"

"Is it because you had a falling out with your teammates?"

"Are you having a bad relationship with the head coach?"

"How do you think you performed in this game?"

Many questions came to my face, and my scalp was numb when I asked them.

He doesn't want to pay attention to these trivial things now, and the system's tasks don't allow him to do so.

So Bai Ran waved his hand and smiled politely twice.

"Sorry, I borrowed it."

"Give me a moment, I want to go out."

The reporters looked at Bai Ran's leaving figure with doubts on their faces.

Isn’t it said that young players like to show their uniqueness and personality in front of the media?

Why is this Chinese young player so reticent?

So they sighed and handed the microphone to Zidane again.

"What do you think of this game?"

Zidane also glanced at Bai Ran with some confusion. This kid probably just wanted to focus on training and competition, and didn't want to care about other things!

That's fine, having less contact with these media will not harm his career.

Many stars said the wrong things in front of the media because of their personalities, and have been living under the pressure of public opinion ever since.

Zidane didn't want Bai Ran to become like this.

So he dealt with the reporters alone.

"I think it's very good. This is our tenth victory. Our players performed very well and the opponents were also very resilient. Our offense caused them a lot of trouble in the first half."

"But there was some slack on the defensive end in the second half, and that's a shortcoming I can see."

“We’re not a perfect team and there’s a lot of room for improvement along the way.”

"We will not be complacent after winning this game. There will be more challenges waiting for us in the future."

…

At this time, Bai Ran had already returned to the locker room.

After simply taking a shower and rubbing his head with a towel, he prepared to change his clothes.

The teammates in the locker room were talking and laughing, celebrating this great record of ten consecutive victories.

"Bai Ran! Bai Ran, you played very well today. That pass made me very comfortable."

"You also seized the opportunity to score. The defender on the opposite side was dumbfounded. It made me laugh!"

Bai Ran was also happy. Bai Ran was also very happy that the team could achieve such an impressive record.

"I just try to do everything I can and this win belongs to all of us."

"Everyone of you did a great job too!"

He has always put the team first. Even if he wants to be famous in this life again, victory is still his primary goal.

His personality is like this. It's no wonder that he was willing to be a substitute for more than ten years in his previous life!

Without such spirit, who would want to be on the bench all the time?

Everyone couldn't help but respect Bai Ran even more.

Hermoso sat next to Bai Ran and said, "Brother."

"Ah." Bai Ran was stunned for a moment. It had been several months since he joined the second team, and this was the first time Hermoso called him that.

Hermoso continued: "My child is going to be baptized soon, and I would like to invite you over."

Bai Ran was startled, this was a great recognition for himself!

Spain is a religious country, and most people here believe in Christianity.

In this religion, newborns are usually sent to churches for baptism ceremonies by their parents. They firmly believe that immersing newborn babies in holy water can wash away dirt and sin and make them pure.

Only in this way can one ascend to heaven after death.

On that day, parents will probably invite some relatives and friends to witness the ceremony.

The selected person either has a particularly good relationship or is someone who is considered to be of good character and very respectable.

It can be seen that Bai Ran has left a very good impression in Hermoso's mind.

He was even asked to attend his own son’s baptism!

What a great honor at this time!

But now Bai Ran's body was just 16 years old, so he was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"I'm definitely willing, but is this really appropriate?"

Hermoso laughed loudly and patted Bai Ran on the shoulder: "It's enough that you can come. Is that appropriate?"

"We are teammates in the club, and you are also my good friend!"

"If you can accept it then, I will make you the 'godfather' of my child."

What?

Bai Ran was a little confused.

Godfather means priest in English, usually a religious worker.

What is this?

"I don't quite understand what you mean. Do I want to serve as a priest to preside over your ceremony?"

Bai Ran's words made Hermoso stunned for a moment, and then the entire locker room looked at Bai Ran.

After two seconds of silence, the whole room burst into laughter!

"Hahahaha...Bai Ran, you are so funny."

"No, my stomach hurts from laughing, hahaha!"

Bai Ran also blushed and scratched his head. Did he make a joke?

Hermoso smiled slightly and said: "You are from China, so it is normal not to understand."

"When a baby is christened, if it is a boy, we parents will choose two suitable men to be the 'godfathers' of the child, and a woman to be the 'godmather'."

"That's pretty much what godfather and godmother mean!"

"If my child has any problems in the future, you can take care of it for me as a father."

"Maybe it's similar to your... godfather from China?"

A layer of sweat suddenly appeared on Bai Ran's forehead.

How much recognition does this have for oneself...

Allowing yourself to be your child's godfather is a life-threatening friendship in China!

The chosen person must not only have good conduct, but also have a great friendship with his father to be entrusted with such an important task!

Bai Ran never expected that she would be treated like this by Hermoso.

"Are you serious?"

Although Bai Ran's real age is over thirty, after all, in this world, Bai Ran is only 16 years old!

Does he trust himself so much?

Hermoso waved his hand and said, "We have been together for so long, how can I still not understand you?"

"This is my decision. I believe I won't misjudge the person. Of course, you can also refuse."

Bai Ran smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

"But I don't know what to do. On the day of your child's christening, I'm afraid you will have to tell me more about what to pay attention to."

There was a hint of surprise on Hermoso's face.

"Great! Don't worry, I will arrange everything."

All the teammates also cast envious glances at Bai Ran.

As their captain, Hermoso has become a spiritual leader in Castile.

Each of them hopes to be like Bai Ran and become valued in the eyes of the captain, and even have a good personal relationship.

However, this person has a clear separation between work and life, and usually does not negotiate too much with his teammates.

But Bai Ran is an exception.

This child from China is also full of charisma!

Hermoso took off his jersey, exposing his tendons, left his seat and walked out of the locker room.

He saw Bai Ran's potential, a young man with a promising future, and he liked dealing with such people.

Moreover, he saw many of Bai Ran's shining points.

If you get along with such people, I believe that your children will also get a good education.

It's hard to find someone with such good character these days, especially in Europe.

It happened that he met Bai Ran, so he had to get along well and seize the opportunity.

In the locker room, Bai Ran felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart as she watched Hermoso walk out of the room.

But at this moment, Rodriguez's voice suddenly sounded.

"Bros!"

"Look! Look at our group!"

I saw him holding his mobile phone with a look of surprise on his face!

Everyone was confused and took out their mobile phones to take a look.

It turned out that Zidane sent a notice in the group.

"The team is on vacation tomorrow and the next two days. You don't have to come to participate in the training camp. You should inform each other and adjust your body well. Come on!"

I go! Two days off!

Cool!

Bai Ran also looked happy, with a relaxed expression on his eyebrows.

Ever since he traveled to this place, he has been on the playing field and training ground every day, and the only people he interacted with were his teammates and coaches.

The persistence of his dreams and the desire for success have gradually made him forget that he still has a life.

Madrid is such a beautiful city, and I haven’t even been out a few times.

It just so happens that during these two days off, you can go out for a walk and relax, which is actually good for the players' condition.

The group of people in the team packed up their things and walked out chatting and laughing.

Just then, Bai Ran's phone rang.

When he opened it, he saw that it was his agent Alice.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Bai Ran answered the phone and asked calmly.

Alice's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Bai Ran, the boss of our company wants to treat you to a meal. When will you be free?"

"Boss?" Bai Ran frowned with a suspicious look on his face.

Why did you suddenly invite me to dinner?

Alice quickly explained: "It's Mendes, a very famous agent in football. You should have heard of him."

Bai Ran had indeed heard of it. In his previous life in China, he knew this famous European agent - Jorge Mendes.

The stars under his command are as countless as the stars!

Among them are Falcao, Di Maria, Pepe, Marcelo and other top stars.

In 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid for the highest price in history caused a global sensation!

Not everyone can hire such a big name.

So Bai Ran had no choice but to reply: "Okay, let's do it later. You can make arrangements for the evening. I'll be available at any time."

It's better to choose a day than to hit it, so Bai Ran chose to do it tonight.

After all, tomorrow and the next two days are holidays, and he plans to go out to play.

Don't interrupt your own good time.

So, after hanging up the phone, Bai Ran went home to pack his things and prepare to go out for dinner.

Not long after she got home and changed her clothes, Alice drove there.

Bai Ran was wearing a large-size trendy white vest, and his lower body was more casual. He wore a pair of shorts and a baseball cap before going out.

Although the outfit is simple, it is very handsome.

I got in the car and saw Alice. For some reason, the little girl seemed to have a rosy face when she saw her...

Bai Ran didn't think too much and urged Alice to leave quickly.

Soon, the red car arrived at its destination.

In a high-end Western restaurant, Mendes has been waiting for a long time.

The table is already covered with dishes, including various seafood, high-quality ham, and Spanish specialties such as braised oxtail.

When Bai Ran saw Mendes for the first time, his impression was that he was elegant and high-end!

Mendes, with oily hair and a suit, sat in his seat and smiled at Bai Ran.

"Bai Ran, you're here."

Bai Ran nodded, and Alice also sat next to Bai Ran.

"Hello, Mendes."

Mendes smiled lightly: "I didn't know what you like to eat, so I chose this Spanish specialty restaurant. I heard that you are usually very busy training, so you probably haven't been here."

"Indeed I haven't been here."

Bai Ran just responded calmly.

Mendes raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be formal. Although it's our first time meeting you, you are our client and our friend. Don't be polite."

"How are you doing? Are you happy in Castile?"

Bai Ran picked up the knife and fork, poked a piece of beef into his mouth, chewed it hard, and said casually: "It's not bad. My teammates take good care of me, and the coach is also very good."

Mendes raised the corner of his mouth and asked vaguely: "Indeed, Zidane is not only a legendary player, but also a good coach."

"Especially for young players, he values ​​them very much."

"What about you? Do you have any plans for your future?"

planning?

Bai Ran paused for a moment, and then said: "Not yet. At the moment, I just want to play well this season. I haven't thought about the future yet."

He does things quickly and down-to-earth, never aiming too high.

Mendes chuckled and shook his head.

"You are still young and it is normal not to understand this."

"But from your perspective, I have to consider some things for you."

"Well, tell me." Bai Ran listened attentively.

Mendes said eloquently: "You are now playing well in Real Madrid's B team, and you have gained a bit of fame."

"But if you want to stay at Real Madrid, it's almost impossible."

At this point, Bai Ran's expression changed.

Mendes continued: "The strength of a unique team like Real Madrid is too terrifying. The people sitting on the bench are enough to form a top giant."

"No matter how well you do in team B, it doesn't mean you will definitely be able to join Real Madrid in the future."

"Taking a step back, even if you get into Real Madrid, you will definitely not be able to play football."

"Although this galactic battleship is the top of the world and the dream of countless people, if you blindly pursue it here, it is very likely that it will end in vain."

"And let me tell you a cruel truth."

At this point, the expression on Mendes' face became serious.

"Real Madrid's first team has never been in the habit of promoting players from its youth training."

Mendes' various words all expressed the same thing to Bai Ran.

If you stay at Real Madrid, you will never get ahead!

Bai Ran asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"

The topic finally got on track, and Mendes showed a mysterious smile.

"Should you consider transferring?"

"I have resources from another wealthy family here, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

To be honest, Bai Ran had not thought about these issues, so when Mendes said these words, there was no emotion in his heart.

If it were any other players, they would be excited.

After all, if Mendes is a wealthy team, then it must be the top team in the world!

"Atletico Madrid!"

Even Bai Ran was startled when he heard the name.

It turns out to be Atletico Madrid...

In the 15-16 season, Atletico Madrid is also a strong team and should not be underestimated. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a La Liga giant!

Their players are strong, their tactics are distinctive, and their team is very cohesive!

Before Bai Ran expressed his opinion, Mendes continued: "There is a reason why I recommend Atletico Madrid to you."

"In January this year, Banda Group acquired 20% of Atletico Madrid's shares."

"And this group comes from China."

"You and their shareholders are people from the same place. At Atletico Madrid, you will be like a duck in water."

"Your identity as a Chinese, coupled with your strength, and my connections to help you get inside, there is absolutely no problem."

Bai Ran thought for a while.

Mendes did not lie to himself. In the 15-16 season, Atletico Madrid in this era was really at its peak.

He comes from the future, of course he knows this.

This season's La Liga MVP and best player is Atletico Madrid's Griezmann!

And in this season's Champions League, Atletico Madrid also made it all the way to the final!

Although I regretted losing in the end, my strength was fully demonstrated.

They are facing the dominant and powerful families from all over Europe, but they still have no fear, which shows that they are strong!

Their coach Simeone won the coach of the season, Griezmann won the best player and the most popular award, and the best goalkeeper and best defender were also awarded to Oblak and Godin respectively.

These are all produced by Atletico Madrid...

Although Barcelona was the La Liga champion that year, there was only one Su Ya who won the award.

Obviously, Atletico Madrid's performance was outstanding.

This is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for Bai Ran!

Moreover, their midfield strength is not as terrifying as Real Madrid's. After I went there, I didn't dare to say that I would play as the main force. It shouldn't be a big problem to play as a third substitute in the rotation.

Moreover, they have Champions League matches and Copa del Rey matches, plus the pressure of the league, the third substitute also has a chance to play.

Thinking of this, Bai Ran even swallowed.

Seeing Bai Ran's reaction, Mendes continued: "Haha, our cooperative relationship with Atletico Madrid is very good. If you don't believe what I say, you can go and see for yourself."

"And my status in Atletico Madrid is also very high. As long as you go, you are guaranteed to have a chance to compete."

"Once you perform well, I will immediately introduce you to Simeone, and you will become the main player very quickly."

"In the future, you will be Atletico Madrid's midfield support and attacking power, and you will be La Liga's dazzling star!"

"And you're so young. By then, let alone Real Madrid, won't any of the five major leagues be vying for you and let you choose?"

"Think about it, how about it?"
