Chapter 100 Mendes: You Have No Future in Real Madrid, Go to Atletico Madrid

"Bai Ran! Bai Ran, we learned that you went to Real Madrid for a trial some time ago. What made you come back?"

"Did you have a falling out with your teammates?"

"Did you have a disagreement with the head coach?"

"How do you think you performed in this game?"

Many questions came at him, making Bai Ran's scalp numb.

He didn't want to pay attention to these miscellaneous things now, and the system's tasks did not allow him to do so.

So Bai Ran waved his hand and smiled politely twice.

"Sorry, let me pass."

"Let me go."

The reporters looked at Bai Ran's back as he left, full of confusion.

Isn't it said that young players like to show their uniqueness and personality in front of the media the most?

Why is this young Chinese player a little taciturn?

So they sighed and handed the microphone to Zidane again.

"What do you think of this game?"

Zidane also looked at Bai Ran with some confusion. This kid probably just wants to focus on training and competition, and doesn't want to care about other things!

This is good, less contact with these media, it will not harm his career.

Many stars said the wrong thing in front of the media because of their own personality, and then lived under the pressure of public opinion.

Zidane did not want Bai Ran to become like this.

So he dealt with the reporters alone.

"I think it's very good. This is our tenth victory. Our players performed very well and the opponents were very resilient. Our offense caused them a lot of trouble in the first half."

"But the defense was a little slack in the second half, which is also a shortcoming I can see."

"We are not a perfect team, and there are many areas that need improvement along the way."

"We will not be proud and complacent after winning this game. There will be more challenges waiting for us in the future."

...

At this time, Bai Ran had returned to the locker room.

He simply took a shower and rubbed his head with a towel. He was ready to change his clothes.

The teammates in the locker room were talking and laughing, celebrating the great record of ten consecutive wins.

"Bai Ran! Bai Ran, you played so well today. That pass made me feel comfortable."

"You also seized the chance to score. The defender on the opposite side was stunned. I laughed!"

Bai Ran also laughed. He was very happy that the team could achieve such an impressive record.

"I just tried my best to do everything I could. This victory belongs to all of us."

"Each of you performed very well!"

He always put the team first. Even if he lived again, he wanted to make a name for himself in this life, but victory was still his primary goal.

This is his personality. It's no wonder that he was willing to be a substitute for more than ten years in his previous life!

Without such a spirit, who would be willing to be pressed on the bench all the time?

Everyone couldn't help but respect Bai Ran a little more.

Hermoso sat next to Bai Ran and said, "Brother."

"Ah." Bai Ran was stunned. He had been in the second team for several months, and this was the first time that Hermoso called him that.

Hermoso continued, "My child is about to be baptized, and I want to invite you to come."

Bai Ran was stunned. This was a great recognition of himself!

Spain is a religious country, and most people here believe in Christianity.

In this religion, newborns are generally sent to the church by their parents for baptism ceremonies. They firmly believe that letting newborns be immersed in holy water can wash away dirt and sins and become pure.

Only in this way can they ascend to heaven after death.

On that day, parents will probably invite some relatives and friends to witness the ceremony.

The selected people are either very close to each other, or they are considered to be well behaved and very respectable.

It can be seen that Bai Ran has left a very good impression in Hermoso's heart.

Even let him attend his son's baptism!

It is a great honor at this time!

But now Bai Ran's body is just 16 years old, so he is a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"I'm definitely willing, but is it really appropriate?"

Hermoso laughed and patted Bai Ran on the shoulder: "It's enough that you can come, so what's the inappropriateness."

"We are teammates in the club, and you are also my good friend!"

"If you can accept it, I will let you become my child's 'godfather'"

What?

Bai Ran was a little confused.

Godfather means priest in English, usually a religious worker.

What is this?

"I don't quite understand what you mean. Do I have to preside over your ceremony as a priest?"

Bai Ran's words made Hermoso stunned for a moment, and then the whole locker room looked at Bai Ran.

After two seconds of silence, there was a burst of laughter!

"Hahahaha...Bai Ran, you are so humorous."

"No, my stomach hurts from laughing hahaha!"

Bai Ran also blushed and scratched his head, wondering if he had made a fool of himself!

Elmoso smiled and said, "You are from China, so it is normal that you don't understand."

"When the baby is baptized, if it is a boy, we parents will choose two suitable men as the child's 'godfathers' and a woman as the 'godmather'"

"It's almost the meaning of godfather and godmother!"

"If my child has any problems in the future, you can take care of him as a father."

"Maybe similar to the...godfather in your China?"

Bai Ran's forehead was covered with sweat instantly.

This is such a great recognition of himself...

Letting oneself be the godfather of a child is a life-or-death relationship in China!

The selected person must not only have good character, but also have a great friendship with the father to be entrusted with such an important task!

Bai Ran never expected that he would be regarded in this way by Hermoso.

"Are you serious?"

Although Bai Ran's real age is already over 30, after all, in this world, Bai Ran is just 16 years old!

Does he trust himself so much?

Hermoso waved his hand and said, "We have been together for so long, how can I not understand you?"

"This is my decision. I believe I will not make a mistake. Of course, you can also refuse."

Bai Ran smiled and nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

"But I don't know how to do it. Wait until the day of your child's baptism ceremony. I'm afraid you have to tell me more about the precautions."

Hermoso's face showed a touch of surprise.

"Great! Don't worry, I will arrange everything."

All the teammates also cast envious eyes on Bai Ran.

As their captain, Hermoso has become a spiritual leader in Castilla.

Each of them hopes to be valued in the eyes of this captain like Bai Ran, and even have a good personal relationship.

But this person has a clear distinction between work and life, and usually does not communicate too much with his teammates.

But Bai Ran is an exception.

This Chinese kid has a full personality charm!

Hermoso took off his jersey, revealing his tendon muscles, left his seat and walked out of the locker room.

He saw the potential of Bai Ran. This is a young man with a promising future. He likes to deal with such people.

And he saw many shining points in Bai Ran.

With such a person, I believe that my children can also get a good education.

Now it is not easy to find a person with such good character, especially in Europe.

He happened to meet Bai Ran, so he had to get along well and seize the opportunity.

In the locker room, watching Hermoso walk out of the room, Bai Ran felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.

But at this moment, Rodriguez's voice suddenly rang.

"Brothers!"

"Look! Look at our group!"

He was holding a mobile phone with a look of surprise on his face!

Everyone was confused and took out their phones to check.

It turned out that Zidane had sent a notice in the group.

"The team will have a day off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Everyone doesn't need to attend the training camp. You can notify each other and adjust your body well. Come on!"

Oh my! Two days off!

Cool!

Bai Ran also showed a happy expression, with a relaxed expression on his brows.

Since he traveled to this place, he has been on the court and training ground every day, and the only people he deals with are teammates and coaches.

His persistence in dreams and his desire for success have gradually made him forget that he still has a life.

Madrid is such a beautiful city, and he hasn't even been out of the house many times.

It's just right that these two days off can go out and stroll around and relax, which is actually good for the players' condition.

The team packed up their things and walked out talking and laughing.

Just then, Bai Ran's phone rang.

When he opened it, it was his agent Alice.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Bai Ran answered the phone and asked calmly.

Alice's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Bai Ran, our company's boss wants to invite you to dinner. When do you think you are free?"

"Boss?" Bai Ran frowned, with a suspicious look on his face.

Why did you suddenly invite me to dinner?

Alice quickly explained: "It's Mendes, a very famous agent in the football world. You should have heard of him."

Bai Ran had indeed heard of him. In his previous life in China, he knew this famous European agent - Jorge Mendes.

The stars under his command are as numerous as the stars!

Among them are top stars such as Falcao, Di Maria, Pepe, Marcelo, etc.

In 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid at the highest price in history was a global sensation!

Such a big name is not something that everyone can hire.

So Bai Ran had no choice but to answer helplessly: "Okay, then let's do it later. You can arrange it in the evening. I'm available anytime."

Bai Ran chose to do it tonight.

After all, the next two days are holidays, and he plans to go out to play.

Don't disturb your good time.

So, after hanging up the phone, Bai Ran went home to pack up and prepare to go out for dinner.

Not long after he got home and changed his clothes, Alice drove over.

Bai Ran wore a large-sized trendy white vest, and the lower body was casual, wearing shorts, and casually put on a baseball cap and went out.

Although the dress is simple, it is very handsome.

When I saw Alice in the car, for some reason, the little girl seemed to have a rosy face when she saw me...

Bai Ran didn't think too much and urged Alice to leave quickly.

Soon, the red car arrived at the destination.

In a high-end western restaurant, Mendes had been waiting for a long time.

The table was already full of dishes, various seafood, fine ham, and Spanish specialty dishes such as braised oxtail.

The first impression Bai Ran had when he saw Mendes was elegant and high-end!

Mendes had a slicked-back hair, wore a suit, and smiled at Bai Ran while sitting in his seat.

"Bai Ran, you're here."

Bai Ran nodded, and Alice also sat next to Bai Ran.

"Hello, Mendes."

Mendes smiled lightly: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I chose this Spanish specialty restaurant. I heard that you are usually very busy with training, so you should not have been here."

"Indeed, I haven't been here."

Bai Ran just responded indifferently.

Mendes raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be shy. Although this is our first meeting, you are our client and our friend. Don't be polite."

"How are you doing recently? Are you happy in Castilla?"

Bai Ran picked up a knife and fork, poked a piece of beef into his mouth and chewed it, and said casually, "Not bad, my teammates take good care of me, and the coach is also very good."

Mendes raised a curve at the corner of his mouth and asked vaguely, "Indeed, Zidane is not only a legendary player, but also a good coach."

"Especially for young players, he attaches great importance to them."

"What about you? Do you have any plans for your future?"

Plans?

Bai Ran paused, then said, "Not yet. At present, I just want to play well this season. I haven't thought about the future yet."

He is down-to-earth in doing things and never aims too high.

Mendes laughed and shook his head.

"You are still young, it's normal that you don't understand these things."

"But from your perspective, I want to consider some things for you."

"Well, you say." Bai Ran listened attentively.

Mendes said: "You are playing well in Real Madrid B team now, and you have also made a little name for yourself."

"But if you want to stay in Real Madrid, it is almost impossible."

At this point, Bai Ran's face changed.

Mendes continued: "Real Madrid is a unique team with too terrifying strength. The people sitting on the bench are enough to form a top giant."

"No matter how well you do in Team B, it doesn't mean that you will definitely be able to enter Real Madrid in the future."

"Let's take a step back. Even if you enter Real Madrid, you will definitely have no ball to play."

"This galactic battleship is certainly the top of the world and the dream of countless people, but blindly pursuing it here is likely to end in vain."

"And let me tell you a cruel fact."

At this point, Mendes' expression on his face became serious.

"Real Madrid's first team has never had the habit of promoting its own youth players."

Mendes' various words were all expressing one thing to Bai Ran.

Staying in Real Madrid, there will never be a day to get ahead!

Bai Ran asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

The topic finally got on track, and Mendes showed a mysterious smile.

"Do you want to consider transferring?"

"I have the resources of another giant, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

To be honest, Bai Ran had not thought about these issues, so when Mendes said this, there was no ripple in his heart.

If it were other players, they would definitely be excited.

After all, if Mendes said it was a giant, it must be the world's top team!

"Atletico Madrid!"

Even Bai Ran was shocked when he heard the name.

It turned out to be Atletico Madrid...

In the 15-16 season, Atletico Madrid was also a strong team, not to be underestimated, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was a La Liga giant!

Their players are strong, their tactical characteristics are distinct, and the team is also very cohesive!

Before Bai Ran expressed his opinion, Mendes continued, "There is a reason why I recommend Atletico Madrid to you."

"In January this year, Wanda Group acquired 20% of Atletico Madrid's shares."

"And this group is from China."

"Your shareholders are from the same place. You will be like a fish in water in Atletico Madrid."

"Your Chinese identity, plus your strength, plus my connections to help you get through the internal, absolutely no problem."

Bai Ran pondered for a while.

Mendes did not lie to himself. In the 15-16 season, Atletico Madrid was really in its heyday.

He came from the future, so of course he knew this.

The MVP and best player of La Liga this season is Griezmann of Atletico Madrid!

And in this season's Champions League, Atletico Madrid also made it all the way to the final!

Although they lost in the end, they have already demonstrated their strength to the fullest.

They are facing the dominant giants from all over Europe, but they are still fearless, which shows their strong strength!

Their head coach Simeone won the best coach of the season, Griezmann won the best player and the most popular award, and the best goalkeeper and the best defender were awarded to Oblak and Godin respectively.

These are all Atletico products...

Although Barcelona won the La Liga championship that year, there was only one Suarez who won the award.

Obviously, Atletico's performance was very outstanding.

This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Bai Ran!

Moreover, their midfield strength is not as terrifying as Real Madrid. After I go there, I dare not say that I can play as a main player. It should not be a problem to play as a third substitute.

Besides, they have the Champions League and the King's Cup. In addition to the pressure of the league, the third substitute also has a chance to play.

Thinking of this, Bai Ran even swallowed his saliva.

Seeing Bai Ran's reaction, Mendes continued, "Haha, we have a very good cooperative relationship with Atletico. If you don't believe what I said, you can go and see it for yourself."

"And my status in Atletico is also very high. As long as you go, you will definitely have a chance to play."

"Once you perform well, I will immediately recommend you to Simeone, and then you will become a main player very quickly."

"In the future, you will be the midfield pillar of Atletico, the thigh of attack, and you will be the dazzling star of La Liga!"

"And you are so young, by then, let alone Real Madrid, any of the top five leagues will be vying for you, and you can choose whatever you want?"

"Consider it, how about it?"
