In fact, Qin Minghao’s parents have always had the idea of letting their children return to China.
When people outside hear about Brazil, they immediately think of Samba, football, and beautiful women. It gives everyone the impression that Brazil is a passionate country. This is indeed the case, but life is not only about these.
When you spend too much energy on one thing, you will have less energy elsewhere. The same is true for countries. This is the case in Brazil. Behind the passion is the lazy lifestyle and pace of life of Brazilians. In this way
With this lifestyle, a big problem has arisen, that is, poverty. In big cities in Brazil, many people cannot afford to buy a house. Over time, the places where they built their own houses have developed into slums.
Compared with Brazilians, the hard-working Chinese have easily accumulated a lot of funds by opening restaurants, doing business, etc. after arriving in Brazil. Therefore, compared with many local Brazilians, the Chinese who immigrated have become rich.
However, the human nature of worrying not about scarcity but inequality has emerged. Coupled with the Chinese people's nature to swallow their anger, 25th Street in St. Paul, where Chinese people gather, has become one of the worst places for security in the whole of St. Paul. Chinese people have been robbed.
Things like this happen every day here.
The small clinic owned by Qin Minghao's parents has encountered two robberies. Not only is the public security here poor, but the police often extort money for as little as 3,500 yuan and as much as more than 10,000 yuan. Only after going abroad do I feel that China is better.
This is the consensus of many Chinese who have immigrated abroad. As doctors, Qin Minghao's parents can be considered literate people, and they also hope that Qin Minghao can develop in a place with a better environment.
At first, Qin Minghao liked playing football. They thought that there were more teams in Brazil and more opportunities, so they asked him to follow them. But when they arrived in Brazil, they discovered that this was not the case at all. There was discrimination against foreign players, especially Chinese players.
It's very common. Qin Minghao is often rejected without even getting a chance to try out.
After hearing Zhang Sheng's invitation, Qin Minghao's parents actually agreed with Zhang Sheng's invitation in their hearts. However, they could not agree rashly. They needed to know more about Longteng Club before they could rest assured.
After Zhang Sheng left his contact information and information, he asked Qin Minghao to discuss it with his parents, and then left. He knew that this was a decision related to Qin Minghao's future, and their family would definitely have to consider it.
After Zhang Sheng left, Qin Minghao's parents learned about the situation through Qin Minghao's previous training football school coach in China. They knew that there were big companies behind the Longteng team. The team's results last year were pretty good, and this year they will officially play in the second division.
League, and also learned about Zhang Sheng’s past. He was a former player of the Magic Water youth team, returned from studying in Germany, and was the second son of Longteng Group.
After knowing this information, Qin Minghao's parents were completely relieved. The next day, Zhang Sheng received a call from Qin Minghao's father. He and Qin Minghao's mother agreed that Qin Minghao would return to China to join the Longteng team to play football.
Zhang Sheng rushed to Qin Minghao's house immediately. The main purpose of coming here was to discuss the contract. Now the salary of the second team is actually not high. The salary of the second team is divided into several grades. The monthly salary of good players is between 8,000 and 1,000 yuan.
, the worst level is more than 4,000 yuan, and currently none of the players the club is planning to register have a monthly salary of tens of thousands.
Compared with the short career of a football player, this kind of salary is not much different from that of ordinary white-collar workers in Jiangcheng. At present, the main income of domestic players still depends on game bonuses. Generally speaking, winning bonuses are tens of thousands of yuan per game.
Teams with slightly better conditions and ambitions to reach the First Division have far more money per game than this. In addition, there are goal awards and assist awards for offensive players.
Because the goal of Longteng Club this year is to reach the A-level, they are very generous in terms of bonuses. If they successfully reach the A-level, the bonus will be as high as 3oo. So in terms of salary, Zhang Sheng gave Qin Haoming 8,000 yuan per month, which is
He is regarded as the absolute main force of the team. At the same time, he is also very generous in the goal award and assist award. They are all 1,000 each, and the more will be doubled. Compared with this salary, Qin Haoming’s parents are not very optimistic about it.
Eye-catching.
Business is relatively easy to do in Brazil. Every month, Qin Haoming's family's income is above 5. As relatively liberal parents, they just hope that their children can do what they like.
In the evening, Qin Haoming's parents warmly invited Zhang Sheng to have a meal. Qin's father said at the wine table: "Minghao will be left to you, Coach Zhang. I am optimistic about your ability, Coach Zhang, and I hope you can take care of him more."
.Thank you in advance.”
Zhang Sheng replied: "I will make Minghao become the best midfielder in China. I have this confidence. After I return to China, I will contact you as soon as possible to provide you with your round-trip air tickets and Minghao's air tickets, food and accommodation."
I have full authority to make arrangements here. Just wait for my news."
The next day, Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting said goodbye to Costa and his son and set off for Argentina.
The power of Argentine football needs no introduction. In Argentina’s domestic first division, there are also several very famous giants. River Plate, Boca Juniors, Independiente Argentina, Atlético Club and San Lorenzo enjoy high reputations around the world. However,
The economic downturn in recent years has caused these traditional strong teams to shrink their financial resources, and a large number of famous players have gone to Europe to look for opportunities. River Plate, a team with countless superstars, was actually relegated in June this year, the first time in more than a century.
The humiliation of being relegated from the First Division to the Second Division caused River Plate fans to endure the relegation and riot until the police intervened and more than 20 people were injured.
Demichelis received Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting at the airport. As a die-hard River Plate fan, Demikelis was also very sad. Demikelis's father was once a member of River Plate and has been working as a coach at River Plate after retiring.
"Demi, although this season is a sad one, I believe River Plate will make a comeback next year," Zhang Sheng comforted after meeting.
"I believe it too! Zhang, thank you, but if you come here this time, I will take you to have a good tour of the beautiful Buenos Aires." Demi said.
Buenos Aires in November has a pleasant climate. The average weather is 17c-24c and the good environment makes people feel relaxed and happy. After resting in the hotel for a day, Demi arrived with Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting.
Rose Garden, Congress Square, Plaza de Mayo and other famous tourist attractions. After that, Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting went to Tierra del Fuego and La Plata, and then returned to Buenos Aires. The one-week journey made Zhang
Sheng and Ye Ting were very moved by the beauty of Argentina.
This time Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting met Demi and his father, Lao Demi.
Due to the relegation of River Plate this year, many of the team's outstanding players have left. However, River Plate's youth training has not been delayed. Lamela and Lanzini are among River Plate's outstanding players in recent years.
This time Zhang was promoted mainly to prepare to discuss cooperation with young players with Demi. River Plate will indeed rise again in the next few years. After the first team won the league championship and the Copa America in 2015, they also won the Club World Cup.
The runner-up. The U2O team also won the South American U2O Championship. There are still many good players in this team. For example, center back Man Mana has been selected for the Argentina national team. Midfielder Tommy Martinez and forward
Sebastian Derriusi is also attracting attention. Zhang Sheng is thinking about recruiting them to see if he can be promoted to the Chinese First Division or the Chinese Basketball League.
However, the communication between Zhang Sheng and Demi at the club level this time was not very harmonious. Perhaps because of the relegation, River Plate was entirely focused on how to upgrade the team. The cooperation proposed by Zhang Sheng.
Lao Demi just agreed to bring it up with the club, but did not give much commitment. However, Lao Demi seemed very interested in Zhang Sheng's suggestion that Demi would help contact players to go to China after he came. Argentina.
The economic recession has made many domestic players want to go out and make money. It is a good way to build relationships with China.
Zhang Sheng also knew that such things could not be rushed. After another day of rest with Ye Ting, Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting went to Uruguay.
Uruguay is also a strong traditional football team in South America. Among them, Penarol and Nacional are the banners of the Uruguay League. They not only monopolized the Uruguayan League for a long time, but also dominated South American football from the 1960s to the 1990s. The two teams jointly liberated South America.
It has won the Cup 8 times and the Intercontinental Cup (Toyota Cup) 6 times. It is the most successful football club in South American football. Penarol and Real Madrid were jointly elected as the best club in the history of the 20th century.
There are very few Chinese in Uruguay, only a few thousand in total. Cruise received Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting at the airport in Montevilla.
After dropping off his luggage at the hotel, Cruise took the couple on a trip. They first went to Independence Square, and then took the two of them to taste Uruguayan national dish churrasco, a kind of barbecue. In Uruguay, you can’t have a good meal without beef.
But the quality of the beef is indeed good. Afterwards, the hospitable Cruise took Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting to Punta del Este, then to Puntombo Penguin Sanctuary to see penguins, and then back to Monteville
Ya.
In Montevilla, Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting met Cruz and his brother. Cruz's father has passed away, but his brother is now the coach of the youth team in Penarol. Although it is said that
Initially, Peñarol was stronger than Nacional, but over the years Penarol can only be said to be average. It can enter the Copa Libertadores, but is often eliminated in the first round.
But compared to Chinese football, Penarol still has a lot of strong players. There are actually quite a lot of football exchanges between China and Uruguay. The Chinese team has competed with the Uruguay national team, not to mention the greatest players that Chinese football has ever introduced.
One of the few stars in the team includes "Civet" Paulo Sosa. Especially Jiangcheng's Optics Valley has also introduced several Uruguayan players, but overall their performance can only be considered average.
Zhang Sheng had a good discussion with the Cruz brothers this time, which laid a good foundation for future player introductions.
