Scout Figueiredo hurried to the door of technical director Carlos' office and knocked hard twice.
"Please come in." The familiar voice of his boss, Carlos, came from inside.
Figueiredo opened the door and went in, walked straight to the opposite side of the desk, reached out and took out a poorly packaged VCD from the document bag in his hand, and gently placed it on the table in front of Carlos.
"Boss, this was just sent by the Portuguese Athletic Association."
Carlos glanced at it and saw the team's name written on it in thick black packaging pen, as well as the number 36.
"Or about the Chinese player?" Carlos asked calmly.
A week ago, Sporting CP sent a player report about a young player in their team.
In the scouting report, head coach Gorba was full of praise for this player, believing that he has the ability to be the best among his peers, and that he is improving at an alarming rate and has high talent. He is worth looking forward to in the future.
Belerenses is not considered the top club in Portugal, but it is still a Portuguese Super League team.
As a technical director, Carlos is well-informed. He has seen countless player information. There are piles of recorded player videos and VCDs. Every scout and every agent will do everything possible to praise their players.
First, use all kinds of gorgeous words to modify it.
These people are like eloquent, shrewd and capable salesmen, and what they want to sell is a commodity called players. Carlos is already used to this.
So, when Sporting CP recommended it, although Gorba's description was not very exaggerated, in Carlos' view, it was just a way for small teams to promote players, and their rare exaggeration.
How many talents can be found among the mountains of player materials?
In the past week, Sporting CP submitted a total of three reports on the Chinese player. You can imagine their urgency.
"Yes, they just went to Madeira Islands to play a match yesterday. Their opponent was Maritimo II."
"Goal again?" Carlos raised his head slightly and asked.
Figueiredo nodded, "Another one came in."
"Golba has really spent a lot of money. I guess their finances are quite tight right now." Carlos said with a slight smile on his lips.
Figueiredo knows that this is also a common trick used by many teams.
"But I think you should take a look."
After hearing this, Carlos raised his head and looked seriously at the scout subordinate in front of him, "What do you think?"
"This time it was a volley in the penalty area. It was not difficult, but..." Figueiredo paused and thought about the words, "I watched his kick and it felt a bit like Batty.
Stutta.”
"God of War?" Carlos was a little surprised.
"A bit like."
Carlos nodded.
It is not new for young players to imitate famous stars with similar characteristics. It can even be said to be a common characteristic of most young players, and there are many people who imitate the God of War Batistuta because there are too many fans who like the Argentine God of War.
Of course, most of these fans have excellent bodies and strong strength, so they can play like Batistuta.
"Wait, you just said, volley?" Carlos suddenly remembered something.
"Yes." Figueiredo nodded, "This ball is a bit suspected of being missed. It is not difficult, but to be honest, like the previous two balls, it is rare among young players."
Carlos looked at the CD in front of him, nodded and said, "Okay, let's put it on for now. I'll look at it later when I have time."
When Figueiredo was about to turn around and leave, Carlos warned again, "Call Gorba to find out about the situation and find an opportunity to go and see the scene."
Figueiredo agreed.
He knew in his heart that Belerenses was a Portuguese Super League team and was not very interested in such low-level young players.
Anyway, we're in a satellite club, so we don't have to worry about him running away.

At the same time, in Benfica’s administrative office at the Stadium of Light a few kilometers north of the Restello Stadium, scout Abel Silva also handed the same CD to Luis Fei, the director in charge of football business.
In front of Lipe Vieira.
"This is a player video I just got from Sporting CP. They have a young Chinese player this season named Su Dong. He has just turned 17 and has scored goals in the last two rounds.
Three balls."
"Oh?" Vieira was surprised.
The main reason is that this player is from China.
In recent years, major European clubs have aimed to develop the Asian market, especially China.
As Portugal's top giant, Benfica has experienced some turbulence in the past two years, but it also has ideas about the Chinese market.
Vieira didn't say much, and directly took out the CD and put it into the CD-ROM drive of the computer host next to him.
Not long after, a video with a blurry quality that could only be barely seen clearly started to play on the computer screen.
"If I remember correctly, Sporting CP will be Belerenses' partner team, right?"
"Yes, they have been working with Belerenses for many years."
The two teams are very close to each other and communicate a lot with each other. Players from Belerences have even been loaned to Sporting CP for games, but training is still conducted at Belerences.
The three top Portuguese teams in Lisbon all support their own cooperative clubs in this city. For example, Benfica has ft Benfica, Sporting Lisbon has Casa Pia, and Belerenses cooperates with Sporting CP.
In addition, there are some teams that cooperate with multiple teams at the same time, such as Amadora and Olharenson, these two teams are also partner clubs of Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon.
Such teams are usually teams with strong youth training and excellent player training capabilities, so they have enough leverage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, as a big team, there must be more than one club to cooperate with.
For example, Benfica, although it does not cooperate with Sporting CP, has close relations with them.
The man in front of Vieira, Abel Silva, came from the youth training of Benfica and has played for the first team for many years. However, a year ago he was still playing in Sporting CP and has everything to do with this team.
wisps of contact.
When the Athletic Association wanted to introduce Canelas, they connected through Abel Silva.
…
The two looked at the slightly blurry game video, mainly focusing on the player No. 36.
Especially after he volleyed and scored the equalizer, the expression on Vieira's face visibly moved.
"This kick shows my strength," Vieira said.
"Yes, in terms of movement awareness, placement judgment, and final footwork, I think his playing is a bit like imitating Batistuta, which looks pretty good." Abel Silva laughed.
Vieira nodded, "It's indeed interesting."
Last year, Benfica held a presidential election. In the election, the incoming president Azavedo lost to the famous businessman Villario. The latter adopted the same campaign strategy as Real Madrid Chairman Florentino and tied up the legendary Benfica star.
Toni won all the fans' votes, and after being elected, Villario did not hesitate to force away the former coach Jose Mourinho who had just led the team to a 3-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon and won the highlight of the local derby.
Not long ago, former Chairman Azavedo was sent to prison on suspicion of money laundering.
Benfica's finances are very bad, which is why Villario came to power. After taking office, he had to start drastic reforms in order to build a young, energetic and competitive team. Last season, it ranked sixth in the league.
This is the price paid for this reform.
After the reform, Benfica has an inexplicable desire for young players, especially after seeing the numerous talents in the youth academy of its rival Sporting Lisbon, such as Quaresma, Marcelino and Cristiano Ronaldo...
Especially that Ronaldo.
I heard that Sporting Lisbon’s technical director had recently recommended him to the national team’s top executive Freitas, hoping to recommend him to the national youth team. “Although Quaresma is very popular now, please believe that Ronnie is
The hope of Portuguese football in the next ten years."
Not many people know this, and Vieira is one of them.
One is going down, the other is going up, and the opponent's talent is at its peak, which makes Benfica even more worried.
Introducing high-level talents has also become Vieira's top priority.
"Abel, please contact Sporting de Portugal immediately. We will go to the next game to see it."
After finishing speaking, Vieira thought about it again and reminded: "Be quick and don't give your opponent time to react."
Abel Silva nodded.
He knows very well that the opponents here are not only Belerenses, but also other teams.

…………
Su Dong didn't know that he had successfully attracted Benfica's attention, he was still as usual.
The team returned to Lisbon from the Madeira Islands overnight. In the early morning of the next day, Su Dong got up on time for training, and then went to the Eduardo VII Park Stadium.
Ronnie had already guessed that Su Dong would do this, and the two of them practiced hard in the indoor football field in the park.
When I was tired from practicing, I rested on the sidelines.
Su Dong casually handed over a bottle of Manniu, unscrewed the cap of the bottle in his hand, and drank gurglingly.
The drinks exchanged in the system store are indeed good things. After drinking them, the recovery speed of physical energy during rest is obviously faster.
Ronnie looked troubled.
"What's the matter? Are you in trouble?" Su Dong asked with concern.
Ronnie sighed, nodded and said, "We encountered a little trouble."
Su Dong thought it was a matter at home, but immediately thought of his brother who was an addict, and felt a little helpless.
There was nothing he could do about this kind of thing, and it was difficult for him to express his opinion, so he could only remain silent.
Ronnie didn't take the initiative to say anything, and Su Dong didn't ask, so there was some silence between the two.
When the bottle of water was almost gone, Ronnie suddenly sighed and said in a sad and angry tone: "I want to change my agent!"
