In a coffee shop in Anderlecht, the Capital District of Brussels, Belgium, two people, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, sat opposite each other in a booth, with two steaming cups of coffee in front of them, but no one was interested.
Didn't move.
The two just stared at each other, sizing up each other.
In fact, both of them know each other well, and it can be said that they are both very familiar with each other.
More importantly, the two had fought against each other when they were teenagers. Although they were familiar with each other, they also understood each other.
They haven't seen each other for a year or two, and they are no longer the same when they meet again.
Both of them stared at each other, not hiding the surprise on their faces.
Romero Lukaku stared at Tintin in front of him, his heart filled with turmoil.
He really didn't expect that De Bruyne had only left Belgium for a year and he could already be said to be famous. He was awarded the best rookie and best player in the Bundesliga 2, and he scored 12 goals and provided 19 assists.
, is really amazing. He is a player often touted by the Belgian domestic media. He can often see Kevin De Bruyne's name in Belgian domestic reports.
And De Bruyne also won the German Cup...
I went out for one year and won two championships, which is amazing!
With his outstanding performance in the Bundesliga 2, De Bruyne has now been selected for the Belgian national team.
To be honest, he really didn't expect De Bruyne to grow up so fast after going abroad.
He wanted to see clearly what made De Bruyne grow so quickly.
He himself was a little envious.
De Bruyne's eyes were also staring closely at the big black man with a naive appearance in front of him, and his eyes were also full of shock.
The progress that this guy in front of me, who was once considered by many adults to be of that age, has made in Belgium has been huge and astonishing.
This guy only made his professional debut in May last year.
But in the past season, this kid played a total of 25 times in the Belgian First Division and became a forward for the Belgian giant Anderlecht. He scored 15 goals and sent 5 goals in one game.
With 2 assists, he became the top scorer in the Belgian First Division and helped Anderlecht win the Belgian First Division championship this season.
You have to know that he just turned 17 years old in May this year.
Because of his outstanding performance in the Belgian First Division, he was selected for the Belgian men's national team in March this year and made his debut for the adult national team. At that time, he was not yet 17 years old.
It's really awesome and amazing.
This year, he also played 10 times in the Europa League, scoring 3 goals and providing 5 assists.
Now he is a well-known little monster in Europe.
> It is said that it has now attracted the attention of teams such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Juventus, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid. Some of these clubs have even dispatched professional scouts to follow and inspect this iron fool in front of them.
De Bruyne was really shocked.
He knew from the beginning that this guy would definitely be successful in the future, but he didn't expect that he would grow up so fast.
To be honest, De Bruyne's eyes were full of admiration.
At this moment, Lukaku suddenly said, "Ding Ding, why did you come to me today?"
To be honest, the relationship between the two of them is not particularly close, and they are not even friends.
De Bruyne suddenly came to him, and he was really full of curiosity.
De Bruyne did not beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm here to help our boss ask, do you want to play football in Germany?"
Yes, De Bruyne came to see Lukaku today with a mission.
After the end of this season, Tong Yi found De Bruyne and asked him to meet Lukaku if he had the chance to find out about Lukaku after he returned to China.
De Bruyne is not surprised at all by this matter.
Because De Bruyne often heard Lukaku's name from Tong Yi. Even when he first joined Munich 1860, Tong Yi asked him if he knew Lukaku.
De Bruyne knows very well that his boss attaches great importance to and is very optimistic about Lukaku.
Because Tong Yi always talks about Lukaku in his ears.
Once, De Bruyne couldn't hold back and asked Tong Yi, since you are so optimistic about Lukaku, why don't you introduce him?
Tong Yi expressed his concern!
Because Lukaku is not old enough!
To participate in the professional league in Germany, you must be 18 years old, or be able to reach 18 years old before the end of this season. Obviously, Lukaku cannot reach that.
Even now, Lukaku is not even 18 years old.
Lukaku will not turn 18 until May 2011.
The situation last season, as well as the uncertainty of Tong Yi's position as coach of Munich 1860, resulted in Tong Yi being unable to introduce Lukaku, so he gave up temporarily.
Moreover, Tong Yi also said that between Lukaku and Costa, he chose Costa.
However, after that, Tong Yi did not completely give up on Lukaku and kept paying attention to Lukaku's news. De Bruyne was able to hear Lukaku's news often, so he paid attention to Lukaku.
Ku understands so thoroughly.
Of course, Tong Yi has also talked to De Bruyne many times about Eden Hazard. Tong Yi is also very optimistic about him. Unfortunately, this guy is too expensive and Munich 1860 cannot afford it.
Lukaku was not shocked at all because he had already guessed De Bruyne's intention.
To be honest, Lukaku is still a little excited.
After all, Tong Yi's reputation is quite famous in Belgium, because the Belgian media often pays attention to De Bruyne's news, and naturally they often carry news about Tong Yi. The Belgian media claims Tong Yi as the "King of Bole" because of Tong Yi.
Yi is good at discovering young people. Many people in the Munich 1860 team are young people now, and the ones who are being reused are also young people.
To be honest, there was a time when Lukaku was very envious of De Bruyne.
However, he later became the main player in the Anderlecht team and entered the national team. After that, he was not very envious. Because he was full of confidence in himself, and he firmly believed that he would be no worse than De Bruyne in the future.
Yes, and he will also play for the five major European leagues in the future, and it will be a wealthy club.
No, some wealthy clubs have contacted me privately not long ago.
Although these wealthy clubs only expressed their interest and goodwill in themselves and did not immediately introduce him. However, they all guaranteed that if he has such outstanding performance in the Belgian First Division next season, they will definitely
Introduce him.
Among the wealthy clubs that contacted him were Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus.
Therefore, Lukaku is really not envious at all now.
Seeing De Bruyne staring closely at him, Lukaku pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have no plans to leave Belgium yet. I am ready to play in Belgium for another season. I am still young and I need to accumulate experience in Belgium."
More experience.”
To be honest, Lukaku still hopes that he can go to a wealthy club.
The influence of a wealthy club was something he couldn't refuse.
Moreover, when he was faced with doubts from countless adults when he was young, he secretly swore that he must prove himself and prove that he is the best!
What if it is proven? Naturally, it means joining the world's top wealthy club.
More importantly, when Chelsea club scouts contacted him before, they called him a "little monster." Thinking of Drogba's status in Chelsea, Lukaku also knew his status in the hearts of Chelsea people.
Chelsea people will reuse themselves in the future.
Therefore, Lukaku himself still prefers to go to Chelsea.
De Bruyne was a little surprised to hear such an answer. He did not expect Lukaku to refuse.
this world
Are there any young players in the world who would say no to their boss?
De Bruyne was a little puzzled. He stared at the somewhat naive big guy in front of him in confusion. He immediately asked, "Why? Our boss is very good at discovering and cultivating young players. Look at the players in our team."
How fast do these young players grow? If you come, you will definitely grow faster, because your physical confrontation is not weaker than that of adult professional players!"
Yes, De Bruyne believes this is Lukaku's biggest advantage.
With such good conditions, Lukaku will definitely adapt to the confrontation and rhythm of the Bundesliga quickly. The only thing he lacks is game experience. If Lukaku joins Munich 1860, he is likely to directly join them in the new season.
He is the main forward.
It's not that Costa is inferior to Lukaku, but it's possible that the two of them can partner up front.
Lukaku looked at De Bruyne's sincere eyes and said bluntly, "Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus have promised me that if I can maintain the performance and data of this season in the Belgian First Division next season,
They will bring me in. Moreover, I feel great sincerity, so..."
De Bruyne nodded slightly and understood instantly!
To be honest, wealthy families are also very attractive to De Bruyne. If he had not met Tong Yi directly, there is no way he would have made the same choice as Lukaku.
To be honest, De Bruyne wanted to persuade Lukaku.
Rich clubs are not very friendly to young players. Young players who can play the main role in rich clubs are very rare. If you go to a rich club, it is almost difficult to get a chance to play. Instead of wasting time on the bench, it is better to be a family.
A team that can play in the competition.
However, De Bruyne knew Lukaku's competitiveness, so he did not persuade him.
Even if it is persuasion, Lukaku may not listen, but it will leave a bad impression on Lukaku, so why bother.
De Bruyne sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't be teammates with you. But I also hope that you can succeed in pursuing your dream in a wealthy club!"
Lukaku smiled and said "Thank you!"
After finishing the conversation, Lukaku still asked about De Bruyne's Munich 1860 situation and learned about De Bruyne's life in Munich 1860. He also asked about some experiences of playing in the five major European leagues.
It seems that Lukaku also wants to gain some experience and inspiration from De Bruyne to pave the way for his future career.
De Bruyne knows everything about this and says it all.
This won Lukaku's favor, and the relationship between the two became more harmonious. Later, they became good friends who talked about everything!
