Football: Rejected by the national team, I flew to England

The starting list for the next game is announced.

After Darren simply commented on the performance of the whole team in today’s confrontation, the boys of Peterborough United went out to eat barbecue en masse.

There is a good rotisserie near the Petersburg training ground.

They are regular visitors there.

The beauty of a small team is that.

There is not much gap between the players.

Whether it is the player’s personal ability, or the salary and bonus signed, except for Lin Xu, who was pulled up from the youth team, almost everyone in the first team is of similar grade.

There are no big stars in the team, and the dressing room tends to be more harmonious.

It is rare for a big team to lose control in the locker room and the coach to suppress the star players.

And as a team boss.

Darren, the manager of the usual management, is also loose.

Except for race days, there are basically no restrictions on other times.

It doesn’t matter if they drink or go to nightclubs or anything.

The most is to tell them not to make any news and cause trouble for the team.

But the players are mostly conscious.

Thinking that the day after tomorrow there will be a game, I didn’t order alcohol when I went to the barbecue restaurant, but the barbecue was not less.

There are many young people in the Peterborough United team, Hamilton is 98, Knight is 97, Kanu is 99, and Edwards, like Lin Xu, are all youngsters born in 2003….

A group of young lads were all of the right age, and the roast chef was sweating profusely in the back kitchen and couldn’t keep up with the speed of their discs, and although they didn’t drink, the atmosphere in the shop was high enough under their bustle.

Except for Harris, who had a tantrum and did not come, everyone else had already accepted Lin Xu.

Especially from Hamilton, after learning that Lin Xu’s family assets were at least tens of millions, everyone shouted for Lin Xu to treat him.

Lin Xu did not refuse, and generously said that he would eat casually, and he paid for it today.

The team’s favorability towards him has increased again.

“I’ll pass you the ball when the time comes!”

After eating, Knight and Lin Xu were already hooking up.

Lin Xu smiled and nodded, “Good!” ”

……

Emerge from the rotisserie and head back to the players’ quarters.

Lin Jianye’s call came.

The Lin family bought a property in Peterborough, but Lin Xu still prefers to live in a dormitory in order to have more training time.

“Son.”

Having been in England for almost three decades, Lin’s approach to education is more Western.

The mode of getting along with Lin Xu is not like the traditional Dragon Kingdom father and son, but more like friends, and they can say anything directly.

As soon as he heard Father Lin’s voice, Lin Xu’s tense heart immediately relaxed.

He lay on the bed in the dormitory and replied with a smile, “Dad.” ”

“I’m on the starting list the day after tomorrow.”

When Lin Jianye heard this, the volume also increased, “Enter the first release?” All right! ”

“I originally said to help you operate, otherwise go to another team to try, now that you have the opportunity, then play at Peterborough United for a while.”

“Son.” Lin Jianye patted his chest, “Don’t be nervous, kick well.” Your dad doesn’t have anything else, but he still has a lot of money. ”

“If it doesn’t work, let’s go home, your dad will earn enough money for you to spend your whole life.”

Lin Xu smiled.

“Got it, Dad.”

His talent is not good, and when he was a child, in order to receive a better professional football education, he did not let Lin Jianye spend money.

Now they are eighteen and have not kicked a name.

The family never urged him.

Because they know that he loves football.

It is precisely because of the support of my family.

No matter how tired he usually trains and how little playing time he plays, he never thinks about giving up.

“I will definitely make you proud in the future.”

Lin Xu said quietly in his heart.

Hung up Father Lin’s phone.

Then a phone call came in.

Lin Xu looked at the unfamiliar number suspiciously and picked it up, “Hello? ”

“Hello, I am a professional football agent at Peterborough and my name is Martinez. You are Lin Xu, right, do you need an agent, we can talk…”

Lin Xu paused and shook his head, “I’m sorry, I don’t need it for the time being, thank you.” ”

Then decisively cut off the call.

Then he flipped through his text message records and found that many unfamiliar numbers had sent him text messages.

are asking if he needs a broker.

There were even conditions that were prescribed to him in text messages.

Most of these people are native to Peterborough.

As Peterborough’s representative team, Peterborough United’s movements will naturally attract special attention from local scouts and agents.

Lin Xu’s performance in the team’s training match today has been passed on.

And the news that he will enter the next starting list has also spread in the circle.

Previously, he was just a substitute who rotated back and forth between the youth team and the first team, and he was not worth a contract from these agents.

But now.

His performance has made these local professional agents unable to sit still.

However, Lin Xu has no intention of signing an agent.

He is well aware that these local agents in Peterborough use the tactic of casting a wide net. When I see a young man who is doing well, I rush to it, no matter what the future holds, sign the person first.

It’s all a scratch lottery mentality.

In case you scratch a decent goblin, you can make a small profit.

If the level is not good, it doesn’t matter.

They don’t have much to lose anyway.

It seems that the conditions are very high, but in fact, they are all painting flatbread.

There is simply no reliable career plan.

What he needs is Jorge Mendes, or an agent of Raiola’s level. But he hasn’t really made a name for himself yet, and all that will find him will be some small fish and shrimp.

It’s not too late to sign an agent when he really becomes famous.

……

Soon, match day came.

On 18 September 2021, Peterborough United hosted Birmingham.

Because it was a weekend race, attendance at the London Road Stadium was good.

The 15,000-strong stadium was almost 80% full, and more than 1,000 fans from the visiting side Birmingham came to watch the game.

The game has not yet started, and the players are warming up on the field.

A man dressed in casual tracksuit and sunglasses walked through the crowd while making a phone call.

After finally finding his place, sitting down, he wiped the sweat from his face.

Then he gasped and said to the person on the other end of the phone, “Is it really necessary to watch a substitute for the Championship relegation team play?” ”

While speaking, the man wearing sunglasses frowned as he looked at Lin Xu, whose ball control technique under his feet was significantly rougher than others during warm-up practice on the court.

“At this level, it doesn’t look like it’s worth my special trip.”

The person on the other end of the phone smiled, “Go and take a look.” Steve, a little patience. ”

The man sitting in the audience at the London Road Stadium is the assistant coach of the England national team, Steve Holland.

England manager Gareth Southgate’s best assistant.

“I don’t know what kind of drug that Darren guy poured into you, and actually made you believe that a team that has risen from the League One will also have genius in it.”

Holland muttered.

“Darren doesn’t always give me referrals.” Southgate’s voice was steady.

Holland had to shrug his shoulders.

“Okay.”

Holland’s eyes turned to the young man wearing the number 48 shirt on the pitch.

I hope it will be a little pleasantly surprised.
