Chapter 73 My son is the best player in the world!
When Yang Hao boarded the flight to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he was still immersed in the meeting in the afternoon.
After he mentioned the Middle East, Carlos Leo was like a curious baby, constantly asking Yang Hao all kinds of questions.
Yang Hao was a coder in his previous life. People in their line of work may not have any other skills, but they have some knowledge of various subjects.
Moreover, the football novels written by Yang Hao are quite different. He always touches on content related to investment, business, technology, etc., so he has a lot of miscellaneous knowledge in various aspects.
This allowed him to show his advantage when talking to Carlos Leo.
Many times, Yang Hao only needs one sentence to make Carlos Leo suddenly enlightened, or even have an epiphany.
This made him admire Yang Hao even more.
If Yang Hao had not bought the plane ticket in advance, Carlos Leo would definitely have kept Yang Hao to stay and have a long talk with him all night and sleep with him.
After learning that Yang Hao was also a shareholder of Atletico Madrid, Carlos Leo expressed his willingness to join the company without saying a word.
The first thing he did after joining the company was to reorganize the team. Next, he went to the Middle East to attract investment and put advertisements on the chest of Atletico Madrid's jerseys before the start of the new season.
The 38-year-old "young man" can no longer suppress his enthusiasm for work.
"After the club's restructuring of various departments, I can feel that everyone's work enthusiasm has increased."
On the plane, Cesar Mendiodoro was sitting next to Yang Hao. He accompanied Yang Hao to Brazil this time and would stay there for a while to prepare for the establishment of the South American scouting network.
Before Yang Hao set off, Atletico Madrid also officially received a fax from the Uruguayan Peñarol Club, which had officially agreed to Atletico Madrid's exchange and was willing to use Pandiani to exchange for Pilipascas.
For this, Atletico Madrid will have to pay a difference of about 400,000 euros.
This is completely acceptable for Atletico Madrid now.
Especially when Yang Hao told Cerezo and Hill that Pandiani's strength was not inferior to Hasselbaink, the two were almost overjoyed.
A lot of money is saved in annual salary, and the strength is still about the same. The key is that Atletico Madrid's current asking price for Hasselbaink is 30 million euros . Many clubs, including Chelsea, are desperately bargaining, but Atletico Madrid is unmoved.
Why?
Atletico Madrid did not get relegated, and Hasselbaink still won the Golden Boot in both La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
For this amount, is 30 million too much?
Of course, Yang Hao's base price is 25 million euros, but he doesn't mind if the Premier League team is willing to offer 30 million.
…
When Yang Hao arrived in Rio de Janeiro, he was greeted at the airport by Paco Casal, the agent of Atletico Madrid player Carlos Gamarra.
Even before the end of the season, the Paraguayan player had been actively working to return to Brazil. He contacted teams such as Corinthians, where he had previously played, and finally chose Flamengo.
In Yang Hao's previous life, Carlos Gamarra eventually transferred to Flamengo for a transfer fee of 6 million euros.
But this time, Yang Hao didn't want money, he just wanted Adriano.
In fact, Paco Casal is neither Brazilian nor Paraguayan, but Uruguayan.
He is also the agent of Pilipascas and Pablo Garcia. It is said that he has the agency rights for all Uruguayan players and is very influential in South America.
But Yang Hao also heard some news from Pablo Garcia, which was basically because of some cooperation between Paco Casar and the Uruguayan Football Association. Anyway, it was all some messy connections.
This is very common in Europe, not only in Eastern Europe, but also in Portugal where there is a Jose Vega.
In South America, things like this are very common.
Yang Hao also knew very well that without the company of , it would be impossible for him to get what he wanted in the chaotic football market in South America.
In this case, as the party A, Yang Hao doesn't mind cooperating with Paco Casal.
However, this cooperation is not without cost.
Paco Casar wants to bring Pablo Garcia to AC Milan.
Yang Hao is definitely not happy about this. After he took over the team, he used three defensive midfielders, namely Pablo Garcia, Beybul and Baraha. If all three leave, Atletico Madrid will really have to start from scratch in the new season.
So he wanted to persuade Pablo Garcia, but when this guy heard it was AC Milan, he was immediately interested.
The brand of a wealthy family is always useful.
More importantly, Atletico Madrid's finances are worrying.
Okay, if you want to go, then go.
Can a living person be killed by holding his urine?
So Yang Hao agreed.
Paco Casar played a big role in Carlos Gamarra's transfer back to Brazil.
…
The day after arriving in Rio de Janeiro, Yang Hao went to Flamengo accompanied by Paco Casal and Mendiodoro.
This old Brazilian powerhouse team recently encountered a big trouble, that is, the lone wolf Romario sued them.
This news caused a sensation in Brazil.
The cause of the incident was not complicated. Romario went to a nightclub, missed the club's training, and was fined.
But who is the Lone Wolf?
He directly confronted the club and ended up parting ways on bad terms. Flamengo president Santos Silva fired Romario in anger.
I have to say that Romario is also a tough guy.
You fired me, didn't you?
I'm suing you. Please pay me the $6 million salary you owe me immediately.
Not only that, the lone wolf also decided to join Flamengo's arch-rival Vasco da Gama.
This really drove Flamengo crazy.
That's Romario, how can we let him go to our mortal enemy?
Anyway, the whole thing caused a lot of uproar, and in the end Romario really switched to Vasco da Gama, and also sued Flamengo in court. Now he is causing a stir in the Brazilian football world.
At this critical moment, Flamengo president Santos Silva is in a state of panic.
Yang Hao and his delegation were warmly welcomed by Santos Silva.
Paco Casar has already been here as a starting point. Carlos Gamarra performed very well in the Brazilian league before and is only 29 years old, which is the golden age. He is very consistent with Flamengo's current needs, but they are short of money.
Now, Yang Hao's proposal to exchange Adriano for Carlos Gamarra was immediately approved by Santos Silva.
The Brazilian league had not been reformed in 2000, so quite a few games had already been played. Adriano was the team's main player and performed well, averaging almost one goal per game.
Of course, everyone knows that the Brazilian league advocates offense and has poor defense, so the goal data can only be used as a reference.
At present, the most noteworthy thing about Adriano is that he joined the Brazilian U17 national team, participated in the U17 World Youth Championship held in New Zealand at the end of 1999, and won the championship.
In Yang Hao's previous life, there was a saying on the Internet that Adriano scored 6 goals in this World Youth Championship, was the top scorer of this tournament, and helped Brazil win the championship.
But before Yang Hao came to Brazil, he specifically checked the information and found that the top scorer of this tournament only scored 4 goals. There were three players, namely, Brusi from Qatar, Ismael Oddo from Ghana and Leo Macae from Brazil.
The one who scored three goals was Donovan from the United States.
As for Adriano, Brazil played a total of 6 games in the championship , and he played 4 times. He did not play in the first two games, and his playing time in the next four games was 4 minutes and 21 minutes respectively. He played the full game in the semi-final and 60 minutes in the final.
But unfortunately, he didn't score a single goal.
This is not because Adriano is too weak, but because the head coach of Brazil U17, Carlos Cesar, uses him as a left winger.
On the contrary, after returning to Brazil and Romario transferred to Vasco da Gama, Adriano began to play as a striker, and his goals became unstoppable.
At this point, Adriano should really thank Romario.
Because of this, Flamengo even felt that they had made a huge profit by exchanging Adriano, a young player, for the famous player Gamarra.
Even after the deal for Adriano was finalized, Santos Silva took the initiative to recommend other Flamengo players to Yang Hao, among whom Yang Hao noticed Julio Cesar.
Yes, it is Saint Cesar who will shine in Inter Milan in the future.
But unfortunately, we now have Saint Van der Sar, and there will be Saint Cech next.
If Yang Hao rashly brought Cesar to Spain and failed to give him enough playing time, it would probably be difficult for him to become the Saint Cesar of his previous life.
Yang Hao felt that it was better to do less of this kind of thing.
…
After reaching an agreement with Santos Silva, Yang Hao handed the matter over to Mendiodoro. What remained was the negotiations between Atletico Madrid, Flamengo, and Adriano's agent.
Paco Casal was more of a supporting role.
Yang Hao also asked for Adriano's contact information.
The Brazilian rookie still lives in the same favela where his father was shot three times, not because he wants to, but because he has no money.
You really can't make money playing football in Brazil.
Including Adriano, everyone works hard to play football with only one goal: to go to Europe to make money.
When Yang Hao saw Adriano, his first reaction was that he was strong and healthy.
It's really hard to imagine that he is only 18 years old.
According to his father Almir, Adriano, who grew up in a chaotic neighborhood, was taller and stronger than his peers since he was a child. He ran around the streets all day long and was very fast and agile.
When Yang Hao heard this, a scene of a chubby little kid leading a fight came to his mind.
Because he was active, Almir was afraid that he would follow his peers and learn bad things, so he insisted on sending him to a professional football school for training when he was 11 years old. In 1995, because of his excellent physical condition, he was favored by Flamengo.
Seven years of systematic professional training have given Adriano a strong physique and outstanding footwork.
Almir feels extremely proud of this.
He even patted Adriano's shoulder affectionately, who was already much taller than him, and proudly told Yang Hao, "Believe me, sir, my son will definitely become the best football player in the world!"
When Adriano heard his father's praise, he smiled with joy, and when he looked at Yang Hao, his eyes were full of anticipation.
"I believe it!" Yang Hao felt the deep affection between the father and son who had depended on each other since childhood.
Now that he is here, Adriano's future will change completely.
Yang Hao invited Almir to accompany Adriano to Spain. Atletico Madrid was willing to provide them with better living conditions and treatment, and even prepare a job for him.
"I can feel it, Almir, your child still needs you very much!"
