Some people understand the meaning of hard work from a very young age.
Because life is not easy for everyone.
Luis Suarez is such a player.
He understood from a very young age that everything he wanted had to be achieved through his own efforts. He needed to seize every possible opportunity. No matter how small the possibility was, as long as he caught the opportunity, he would do it.
Try your best not to let it slip from your hands.
This is something he has learned deeply from childhood to college.
His father is a soldier and his mother is a housewife. They have seven children, Suarez is the fourth.
Salto, where Suarez was born, is the second most populous city in Uruguay, but his family conditions were very poor, so when Suarez was seven years old, his parents decided to go to the capital Montevideo to look for opportunities.
But for the young Suarez, there is no difference between the capital and his hometown of Salto. He is still playing football, but he has changed from the grass of Salto to the cement of Montevideo.
At a very young age, he has already shown his extraordinary talent. Almost everyone who has seen him play football thinks that he will become an excellent football player and leave the slums like his predecessor Recoba.
, leaving South America and landing in Europe.
But when he was nine years old, his father Rudolf left home.
His mother, Sandra, raised seven children by herself with a meager income. They crowded into a room of 15 square meters and ate sausages and rice every day because they had no money to buy other things.
And these two are the cheapest.
When he was eleven years old, the Uruguay National Football Youth Academy took a fancy to Suarez and invited him to come for training, but he had no money and couldn't even afford a pair of sneakers, so he didn't go.
During those painful years, the boy lost his focus on football, lost his direction, and forgot his dreams.
He skipped classes and training every day, went to disco with his friends, and his temper became increasingly violent. In the youth training camp of the National Club, he would fight with his teammates and confront the coach whenever he disagreed, and his future was in jeopardy.
His family tried to persuade him, and his elder brother and younger brothers also tried their best to help him, but gradually, everyone felt that he was finished!
When he was fifteen years old, he met a girl named Sophia through the introduction of a teammate. She had long blond hair and was very beautiful. He fell in love at first sight.
The appearance of Sofia completely saved Suarez's life.
He began to pursue this beautiful girl from a middle-class family crazily. He trained crazily every day just to earn a little bonus from coach Wilson, and then take a bus to the suburbs 40 kilometers away to visit Sophia.
.
Sofia and her family did not dislike Suarez because of his poverty. The blonde girl, who was two years younger than him, encouraged and enlightened him, asking him to train well and work hard to learn cultural knowledge.
Since then, Suarez's performance has improved by leaps and bounds, almost like a different person.
But just a year later, one night in 2003, Sofia told him that their family was moving to Barcelona.
He almost went crazy!
At the end of the year, with the help of his agent Fonseca and his brother, he finally came to Barcelona alone from Montevideo with a plane ticket and sixty dollars, and met the girl of his dreams again.
He vowed that he must come to Europe to play football!
In June 2006, a few days before Gao Shen arrived in Buenos Aires, Suarez got his wish to move to Groningen in the Netherlands.
He finally came to Europe from Montevideo, getting closer to the girl in his heart.
The day after signing the contract with Groningen, he immediately flew to Barcelona, stayed there for ten days, and half-coaxed and half-deceived Sofia to Groningen.
Since then, the two have never been separated.
From that day on, everything he did had only one purpose, for Sophia, for his family, and for everything he had now!
And every summer, he would accompany Sofia back to Barcelona for vacation to visit her parents.
Although he is already the star of the Dutch giant Ajax, his name is not well-known in the entire European football world, especially in Barcelona. Very few people know him. Even if he walks on the street, he is very unfamiliar.
Few people can recognize him.
But things are different this year.
He received a phone call.
A phone call made him vaguely feel that fate had given him another chance.
…
The secret meeting between Gao Shen and Suarez looked like a tryst.
The two cars drove into the underground parking lot of the hotel where Gao Shen was staying at the same time. The hotel staff arranged for them to go to a secret passage for special guests. From the secret passage, they took a special elevator directly upstairs and arrived at the room where Gao Shen arranged to meet.
During the entire process, the hotel guarantees that you will never stay or be seen by outsiders.
This is a special arrangement that many high-end hotels have.
After Suarez went upstairs, his father-in-law and agent Fonseca each drove a car and left the hotel's underground parking lot.
Now, he is still an Ajax player and must ensure that the entire meeting does not leak out.
He had dark, slightly curly hair and ears parted diagonally. He was wearing a hooded sports sweater. The most eye-catching feature on his face was his slightly protruding buck teeth. Gao Shen couldn't help but guess how many times he had bitten someone.
Apart from psychological factors, does it have anything to do with his buck teeth?
The meeting was facilitated by Suarez's agent Fonseca.
Gao Shen also wanted to understand Suarez's willingness to join Manchester City through this meeting.
If he agrees, Manchester City will formally negotiate with Ajax.
Suarez is obviously very curious about Gao Shen.
There were only two people in the room, Gao Shen and him. After sitting down, the topic they started talking about was Ajax.
The relationship between Suarez and Van Basten at Ajax was not ideal, it could even be said to be a bit bad, but Van Basten has dismissed get out of class, and the upcoming head coach is Martin Jol, but Suarez is still
Haven't met him.
Suarez respects Van Basten, but he also has many complaints, such as his management of the locker room and his use of Suarez.
"I don't know why he doesn't like me, we've never even had real private communication, including one-on-one communication like we have now, never, so I don't know what the real reason is.
"Suarez said frankly that all his complaints came from his own speculation.
Gao Shen nodded, because he found that many head coaches didn't like to communicate with players. He was very surprised, why is this?
Without communication and communication, how can you know what the players are thinking?
But that's what many people do.
Perhaps, to them, players are just a group of high-end consumables.
"I have watched some of your games. In this Ajax team, you were more of a winger. Before, you were roaming on the left and right sides of center Huntelaar. Later, you were replaced by someone else, but you said
To be honest, I don’t think this is the best position for you.”
Gao Shen slowly stated some of his positioning of Suarez.
Suarez nodded silently and listened carefully.
It's very good that his eyes are always looking at Gao Shen.
"I wonder if you have ever watched the Naples game?" Gao Shen asked.
"Well, definitely, and more than once."
"What do you think of Naples?"
Suarez thought for a moment, "A team that is always pursuing victory is full of hunger."
"Well said!" Gao Shen praised, "I like hungry players. Such a group of players can form a hungry team, and I think you are also a hungry team.
players.”
"Can you tell?" Suarez grinned, showing off his cute little buck teeth.
"Eye!" Gao Shen stared at Suarez, "You can't hide this kind of thing, it's all overflowing."
Suarez smiled.
"You will not be satisfied with Ajax. The Eredivisie can no longer satisfy you. You should go to a broader stage to prove yourself instead of staying at Ajax. You should appear in the middle, not in the center.
Side road."
"The center needs to face tighter defense, more physical confrontation, and greater pressure." Suarez said.
"But it's closer to the goal!" Gao Shen said provocatively, "And, Louis, do you think you can't do it?"
Suarez was stimulated, "I can play any position in the frontcourt, whether it is the center or the wing, left or right, I can do it."
In fact, at Ajax, he played more as a left and right winger, and performed very well in both.
"Physical confrontation is insufficient, we have the best trainer in the world, he can help you improve physical confrontation; shooting efficiency is not high, and the ability to hold the ball behind the back is not enough, we have the best technical coach in the world, he can help you improve it
These; I will build a midfield in Manchester City that can create a steady stream of shooting opportunities for the frontcourt. All you have to do is take the ball, pass and shoot!"
"I can train Cavani to be the top scorer in Serie A, and I am also confident that I can train you to be the top scorer in the Premier League. The premise is that the two of us have the same goals and concepts."
Suarez was moved, "When I was in Uruguay, growing up, my teammates all said that I could score goals even if I was blindfolded; in Ajax, I learned how to pass the ball and learn how to pass the ball.
How to press and press, and learned how to integrate into the team."
"You are right, I am a hungry player, I am eager to succeed, and in order to succeed, I can do anything on the court and fight until the last second, so I can tell you clearly now
, I will definitely not let you down!"
Gao Shen nodded, he was very happy to hear Suarez's words.
Gao Shen did not intend to involve players in the negotiations with Ajax. He did not have such a habit.
Therefore, after the meeting, he asked Suarez to go back and wait for news, as if everything had never happened.
"Get ready, Louis, believe me, we will meet again in Manchester soon!"
