Marcos Senna has always felt that since he was a child, he was an unlucky child.
Once upon a time, like other friends, he imagined that he would be favored by fate, and that he could be like the hero of the novel, with a brilliant aura and achieve great achievements!
But gradually, time wore away his edges, setbacks chipped away at his sharpness, and he began to become humble.
He had to be humble and low-key, because after living for twenty-eight years, he had accomplished nothing.
…
Born in the football town of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he received football training like many of his peers since he was a child. However, he is different from the male protagonist in the novel. He obviously belongs to the type of player who has no talent and is not appreciated by others.
As a result, he could only hang out in Brazil's low-level leagues in the early stages of his career.
After moving around many teams, he came to Corinthians in 1999 and made his first career breakthrough here. He helped the team win the league championship and the Sao Paulo State Championship.
He also won the only world championship in his career so far.
The first Club World Cup champion!
It was in January of the year 2000 that FIFA had a whim and wanted to create a cup to compete with the Toyota Cup, so it established the Club World Cup and invited eight teams to participate. The venue of the competition was chosen to be in Brazil.
Corinthians serve as hosts.
In the end, Corinthians won the championship, and then the tragic Club World Cup was suspended to this day.
Marcos Senna's fate was the same as that short-lived Club World Cup. Although he won many championships, all of the sixteen games he played for Corinthians were as substitutes, and they all played in garbage time.
For example, in the Club World Cup match against Real Madrid, he replaced Richardinho in the 85th minute.
It can be said that Corinthians' achievements have nothing to do with him, and even he himself is embarrassed to mention them.
After only one season at Corinthians, Senna left on a free transfer and went to Juventus, but within a few days, he moved to San Caetano do Sul, where he met Villa.
Rey's scout.
At that time, Villarreal went to inspect another player, but was attracted by Marcos Senna and bought him to Spain for a transfer fee of 600,000 euros.
This is a leap forward in Marcos Senna's career!
That year, Marcos Senna was twenty-six years old.
Although he was long past the age of dreaming, he still felt that he had finally endured all the hardships. He was ambitious to show off his talents in Spain and wanted to help Villarreal make a difference.
When signing with Villarreal, Marcos Senna chose his favorite jersey, No. 19. The club's senior officials told him that this was not an auspicious number, so it remained empty, hoping that he could change it.
But Senna, who was very passionate at the time, said that this was his favorite number and he did not want to change it, and he was not superstitious about it.
But it turned out that he was not the material to be the hero of the novel after all.
Munoz, the head coach of Villarreal at the time, trusted him very much and made him the main player as soon as he came in. He played for 90 minutes every game. Senna also performed well, which showed his strength.
But the reason why the supporting characters cannot become the protagonists is because they always choose the wrong direction when standing at the crossroads of fate.
After playing well for half a year, Senna injured his knee cruciate ligament in a game against Real Betis. He was absent for a year and a half, and did not return until the final stage of the second season.
More than a year of recuperation time has convinced Cena that he is destined to be a supporting role.
As a result, he completely gave up his ambition to become a leading actor and began to train modestly and low-key, down-to-earth. But even so, this damn fate still did not spare him.
This summer, Senna went through a complete preparation period and was in very good condition. He wanted to make a difference for Villarreal, but he did not expect that after the pre-season Toto Cup match against Atletico Madrid, he tested positive for drugs.
It turned out to be positive.
How is this possible?
The last reason given by the club was the mistaken intake of illegal drugs.
FIFA was also lenient towards him and only suspended him for two months.
But it was these fateful two months that once again put Senna's future in doubt.
Two months ago, he was the team's main midfielder, but two months later, his partner Hosico's position became more solid, and Hector Font and Sebastian Battaglia began to compete for the role.
Ban seized the power, and Argentina international Solin did not play on the left wing, but ran to the center of the midfield to join in the fun.
When Senna came back, he suddenly realized that there was still a place for him in the team?
Head coach Pellegrini has spoken to him and told him that the coaching staff still trusts him and hopes that he will perform well and strive to play the main position.
But Senna was devastated. This main position was originally his, wasn't it?
What made Senna even more hesitant was the atmosphere in the locker room.
With the addition of Solin, Figueroa and other Argentine players, Villarreal now has six Argentine players.
This is actually normal. Not only Villarreal, but also city rival Valencia also likes to use Argentine players.
Pellegrini has a background in coaching the Argentine league and has a preference for Argentine players. As a player from Brazil, Argentina's mortal enemy, Senna is the only two Brazilian players in the Villarreal team. One is him and the other is
Sonny Anderson.
Unfortunately, Sony Anderson's starting position was taken away by Uruguayan forward Diego Forlan, who transferred from Manchester United.
This made Cena very hesitant. He always felt that he would lose his position just like Sony Anderson.
…
"CTMD! It doesn't matter if I don't want to be the protagonist. Can't I just quietly play a supporting role?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Am I born to be the kind of walk-on guy who gets a box lunch?"
Senna raised his head and shouted in his heart to the blue sky.
Just when Senna had vented his inner depression and was worrying about what to do next, his cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
"Hello." Senna answered the phone.
"Hello, Marcos." A strange male voice came from the other side of the phone, "My name is Jorge Mendez."
When Senna heard this, he jumped up from the grass like an electric shock.
Jorge Mendes is an agent who has become famous in European football in the past two years. The biggest superstar under his command is Su Dong, who just won the double Footballer of the Year award.
Speaking of Su Dong, Senna couldn't help but think of the high center forward whom he defended on the court more than half a year ago.
"Hello, Mr. Mendes." Senna replied quickly.
"I talked to your agent and he said that if you are willing, I will be your agent from now on."
"What?" Senna was shocked, "Why?"
He was completely confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Barcelona likes you!"
As soon as Mendes finished speaking, Cena's hand trembled obviously, and the phone almost fell to the ground.
"Barcelona likes me?"
How could Cena believe such a lie?
"Haha, Mr. Mendes, are you deliberately making fun of me?"
Because the matter was too bizarre and exaggerated, Cena would not believe it no matter what.
At the lowest point of life, a sudden turn of events occurs, and a piece of pie falls from the sky. Isn't this an adventure that only the hero of a novel is entitled to have?
When will I, a nobody who just works as a sidekick, be able to meet him?
"I'm not kidding, Marcos." Mendes replied seriously.
"No?" Senna was even more surprised.
Mendes was silent for a few seconds, allowing him to calm down a little, and then explained: "Su Dong recommended you to Barcelona."
Su Dong?
Senna was surprised again. What does this have to do with Su Dong?
Under Mendez's patient explanation, Marcos Senna slowly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that Barcelona needed a defensive midfielder. Su Dong had played with him in a game before in Valencia and was particularly impressed by him, so this time it was like Barcelona recommended him.
Barcelona had never thought of buying him. The first players they were interested in were Arsenal's Edu, Juventus's Tacchinati, Porto's Maniche and other powerful European players, but they looked down on Marcos Senna at all.
But later, due to various reasons, Barcelona's midfielder signings were frustrated and had to turn their attention back to La Liga.
Villarreal has always wanted to buy out Riquelme, and Barcelona had no idea about the Argentine midfielder who had been on loan for a year and a half. Therefore, the two sides hit it off and decided to negotiate Riquelme's transfer in advance and transfer Riquelme to Barcelona.
Kos Senna is included in the transfer list.
Then why doesn't Senna know?
Because from the beginning to the end, the focus of the negotiation was Riquelme's transfer fee and had nothing to do with Senna.
After listening to Mendes' "story", Cena felt like he was in a dream.
He wondered if he had just gotten lucky?
Otherwise, how can one explain that Su Dong would recommend him for no reason?
Why would Barcelona want to buy him?
But no matter what, Mendes has already come to the door, which proves that the deal is real.
He is not dreaming!
"Marcos, think about it carefully. This deal should be negotiated before January 1st. If you don't have any objections before then, then I will negotiate and sign with them as your agent."
Mendes said on the phone.
Senna did not answer, he had not fully accepted the impact of this incident.
The pie was so big that it almost killed him. He had to digest it slowly.
"By the way, Jorge, can I ask you a question?" Senna suddenly thought of something very important.
"Well, yes, you can ask."
"Su Dong, why would he recommend me?" Senna asked.
"To be honest, we are all surprised." Mendes said with a slight smile, "Su Dong said that he played a game with you and he also followed your games when he was in Valencia. He felt that you were a player.
A very capable player, but he has always been buried."
Senna opened his mouth in surprise and was speechless for a long time.
