Agents take charge of player business and have considerable power in many aspects, especially after signing a series of contracts. For example, Sudong's idol Ronaldo was squeezed by two agents for a long time, as was former Real Madrid player Anelka.
I was tricked by two agent brothers.
As for trivial matters, they are quite trivial, because if a player wants to change his agent, it is a matter of just one sentence. Even if there is no contract dispute, it can be settled by sending a fax.
For example, Su Dong, his contract with his agent expired long ago, the other party did not contact him, and he was too lazy to deal with the liar.
"Why do you want to change?" Su Dong was very surprised, "I remember that your agent seems to be José Vega."
José Vega is one of the most famous agents in European football today. His most successful move was planning Figo's transfer of the century from Barcelona to Real Madrid. Although various rumors are endless, José Vega is the
Figo's agent, Central, must have played a key role and made a huge profit.
Not only that, José Vega can almost be said to have one hand covering the sky in Portuguese football. Almost all the big-name stars are under his command, and he maintains very good and close business relationships with various teams.
For example, Sporting Lisbon's three promising stars, Quaresma, Marcelino and Ronnie, are all Vega players.
Su Dong even thought before that if he really needed to use an agent in the future, he would contact José Vega's company through Ronnie and entrust their company's agent to act for him.
Of course, Su Dong would not dare to think about having José Vega personally represent him.
So now, Su Dong is also surprised to hear that Ronnie is changing his agent.
"He is already the best agent in Portugal and even European football, right?" Su Dong asked.
Ronnie nodded, "Yes, but I don't think he is interested in me at all."
Su Dong did not answer because he realized that what Ronnie needed at this moment was to talk.
"Me, Marcelino and Quaresma are all his players, but you can also see that Marcelino and Quaresma are both in the first team, but I am still in the youth team. I have looked for him before.
, I told him that I wanted to play in the first team, but instead of helping me make my request to the club, he comforted me and told me that I was too young."
"A few days ago, something happened at home and I needed money. I told him that I wanted to renew my contract with the club. I am over 16 years old and I am not very satisfied with this contract. I believe that as long as I make a request,
, the club would agree, but he didn’t take it to heart at all.”
It can be seen that the dissatisfaction with José Vega is no longer a matter of one or two days.
José Vega is so famous that there are even rumors that if the chairman of Sporting Lisbon wants to see him, he has to make an appointment in advance.
It is conceivable that such a big-name agent would not pay attention to a small character like Ronnie.
On the contrary, it is the star of hope like Quaresma, who has long been known in Portugal, who is the target of José Vega's praise, for example, giving him the title Figo II.
"Have you contacted a suitable agent?" Su Dong asked with concern.
Ronnie nodded, "Someone did contact me. He used to be a partner for Brazilian agent Feige. Now he is working alone and has established his own agency. He has his own channels and is not as famous as others.
Ze Vega is loud, but he seems to be someone who knows how to get things done."
"But if you do this, you will offend Jose Vega." Su Dong reminded.
Who is José Vega?
The big boss in Portuguese football who has everything to do with his hands, the presidents of the three major giants are all very respectful to him. He almost takes over the business of most Portuguese players playing abroad, which is also the most profitable business in Portuguese football.
Some even say he earns more than those clubs.
If you offend such people, you often have to pay a price.
Ronnie nodded. He was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. He knew the risks, so he was worried.
"Wait patiently. If you need money urgently, I don't have much here, but I still have some. You can use it first." Su Dong said boldly.
After hearing this, Ronnie nodded gratefully towards Su Dong, "Thanks, brother."
After a pause and a heavy breath, he said: "It's my dad. He drinks every day when he opens his eyes. The more he drinks, the worse his health becomes. I want my sister to take him to Lisbon for medical treatment."
Su Dong's mind immediately thought of the middle-aged man who was drunk in the living room that morning.
"Did you see it that day?"
Su Dong nodded, "I really want to go to the hospital."
"I heard from my mother that he was not like this originally. When she married him, it was because he was hardworking and honest, which gave her a sense of security, so she was willing to marry him. But she didn't expect that she would go to Africa to fight.
After the battle, when I came back, my whole person changed."
Su Dong was born in a peaceful era and could not understand the cruelty of war, but he could imagine the blow and impact it had on Ronny's family after his father completely changed his appearance.
"Many people over there were laughing at him, saying that he was drinking and causing trouble, even being late for his son's baptism." When Ronnie said this, a smile actually appeared on his face, "But you know, in my life
The first gift he gave me was a football, which he gave me as a birthday gift. Although he never said it, I knew he liked to watch me play football."
"When I was still playing football in the national sports, you can see that he was drunk all day long and everything was unreliable, but when he picked me up or dropped me off, he was never late, rain or shine."
"When I was training inside, he would always stand outside the barbed wire and watch me play football silently. As long as I performed well, he would smile at me. At that time, he was not drunk at all.
The appearance of.”
By the end of the sentence, Ronnie's eyes were already red.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He probably has never said these words to anyone, but today he confided in Su Dong.
"My mother loved him very much, but she was also a miserable person. My grandmother died a long time ago. She was abused by her stepmother. After she was sent to an orphanage, she was tortured there again. She escaped when she grew up.
After going through a lot of hardships and meeting my dad, she originally thought she would be able to escape from her miserable life, but she never expected..."
"My mother said that at that time, the family was very poor and had no enough food to eat. She already had three children. During the year she was pregnant with me, she even thought about having an abortion several times. Someone told her that drinking boiled
Dark beer did what she wanted, but she actually drank it and knocked herself out."
Ronnie sighed helplessly, with a bitter smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Su Dong couldn't imagine his mood at this moment, but talking about these things was not easy at all.
"My elder sister and my brother dropped out of school very early in order to educate me and my second sister. My elder sister went to work as a waiter in a hotel in a tourist area. My elder brother first went to an aluminum products factory and then to a paint store. He was often
When bullied, he always said he wanted to become stronger, and slowly, he got to know some friends who could help him become stronger."
"You have been to Falcao Village. I believe you have seen it, right?"
Su Dong didn't hide anything and nodded.
"Some people say that Madeira is the spring left by God in the world. People outside always think of this island as very beautiful, but they never know that in the eyes of us, this island is like
It's a huge prison."
"Growing up, they all told me that there are only two kinds of people on this island, either Madeira is their whole life, or they want to escape Madrid and explore the outside world."
"The former kind of people are born, grow up, get married and have children on the island, and gradually grow old. Slowly, like other people on the island, they will drink and take drugs, day and night, doing nothing. But once the latter kind of people leave,
I never want to go back.”
There is no doubt that Ronnie wants to be the latter, but it is very difficult.
"You said that your ambition is to be a professional footballer, and my ambition is not just to be a professional footballer, I want to make more money, and I want to be in the tourist area of Madeira Island.
My mother bought a house and had a house of her own, which was her biggest wish in her life and has been her dream for many years."
"My brother wants to open a paint company and hire all the brothers who were bullied by the owner of the paint store with him. This was the promise he made to them. My second sister said that she wants to make a record.
As a singer, she always felt that she had a talent for singing; as for my eldest sister, she said... she had never thought about it, and she didn't dare to think about it."
Su Dong listened silently.
He could see it when he was in Madeira that the family placed all their hopes on Ronnie, and he himself also had such awareness and responsibility. This should be the source of motivation for him to play hard.
The so-called geniuses are actually forced by the fucked-up life.
"So, I want to replace José Vega, even if it offends him, but I have to do it, because he will not take these ideas of mine to heart at all. In his opinion, these are just trivial things.
Little things.”
Only then did Su Dong understand how determined Ronnie was to change his agent.
"Take your time, don't be anxious." Su Dong patted Ronnie's shoulder comfortingly. He could not sympathize with Ronnie's situation, but he was willing to provide help as much as he could. "The most urgent thing now is to see your father's doctor first.
I still have some money here, you can use it first."
Ronnie nodded gratefully towards Su Dong.
Although the two had only known each other for a few months, they seemed to have been close friends for many years after getting along.
Perhaps, this is a kind of fate.
"Thank you, we don't need to say any more, let's go and continue practicing. I believe that as long as you have the strength, you won't be afraid that the opportunity will not come!"
Su Dong really believed in the words of his ancestors: As long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle.
Opportunities always come to those who are sure, just like Quaresma's famous performance against Porto.
Without strength, you will not be able to seize opportunities when they are presented to you.
Ronnie also exhaled heavily, regained his composure, stood up from the ground, pointed at Su Dong, and "threatened": "Today, I will make you crawl out!"
