Mashiji pulled Lin Hong up on the field. He saw a slight sadness on Lin Hong's face, so he subconsciously asked, "Do you need any help?"

Mashchi is not a handsome Italian guy in the traditional sense. On the contrary, his hairstyle reminds people of his hometown of Italy. After all, Italy is on the edge of the Mediterranean. However, his image does give people a sense of intimacy. Lin Hong

I felt that this person was easy to talk to and a good candidate to be friends with.

Lin Hong just learned this sentence from Mashki in English last night, "Yes, I encountered some little trouble."

Mashki looked at Lin Hong blankly. He really had a London accent. He felt like he was his former England teammate. That guy was from London.

"Oh, although your English is not fluent, your pronunciation is great. Can you tell me how you practice it? Ha, I'm sorry, I shouldn't change the topic. I don't know what kind of trouble you are in. I can help.

You?"

Mashiji babbled a long sentence, and Lin Hong was confused. Yesterday's study was not so advanced, but he quickly ran to the sidelines and took out his mobile phone. There was an instant translation app in it. It was him.

I downloaded it before coming to Japan, so there is no problem with the translation between English and Chinese.

Mashki said what he just said again, and Lin Hong expressed his gratitude for his concern, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I haven't signed a contract with a brokerage company or an independent agent yet. There is a company in Japan who wants to

Sign me, but it is absolutely impossible for me to sign with them. The problem is that other Japanese agencies may not dare to sign me because of the influence of the media. I will probably be harassed by that company all the time. This is for me.

Very troublesome.”

Lin Hong's words shocked Mashki. A young player with such characteristics and hard work as Lin Hong didn't even have an agent. This is unimaginable in Europe.

Soon Mashki seemed to think of something. His agent Todd is here. His European sports agent qualification certificate is universal. If Lin Hong can sign a contract with Todd, it will not only help Lin Hong solve the current difficulties.

, I can also get closer to Lin Hong.

"Lin Hong, if you don't mind, I can recommend an agent to you."

As soon as Mashiji finished speaking, Lin Hong immediately thought that he did not come to Japan alone. In addition to his wife, isn't that Todd an agent, and he is also an agent in Europe. He will also go to Europe in the future.

Familiar with the situation. But again, the agent must be trustworthy, otherwise Lin Hong would rather go to the trouble and not sign.

Lin Hong looked at Todd who was outside the stadium in the distance and asked, "Are you talking about your agent?"

Mashki nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, that's him, the best agent in the world!"

The best in the world? This evaluation is a bit too big. Lin Hong thinks this may be "mother's taste", just like when you go to a Michelin three-star restaurant to eat, although the taste is very good, it can't compare to the taste of mother in your memory.

.

When Mashiji saw Lin Hong's disapproving expression, he was not angry. Instead, he sat on the court and acted like a guest, please listen to me slowly. Lin Hong also wanted to sit down and take a rest, and watch how he praised him.

own agent.

"Todd is four years older than me. He graduated from the Finance Department of the University of Bath in the UK. His major is really famous. He has a professional agent certificate certified by the European Sports Federation and UEFA. He entered Europe right after graduating from university.

The famous brokerage company gestifute international.

At that time, Todd might have been young and energetic and thought he was the king of the world, so he went out to look for young players with good talents, but there were no real talents like him as a rookie agent. So he lowered his standards for players again and again.

I will drop down until I can no longer survive in the big city, and then I will go to various small clubs to look for opportunities."

Lin Hong listened quietly to Mashiki's story. He has always been a good listener, and this was a good opportunity to learn English.

“I still remember the first time I met Todd was at a cocktail party organized by Parma Club. Many football agents were invited, and I, as a fringe player of the second team, was also lucky enough to attend.

At the reception, other agents were busy handing out business cards and chatting with the players, and the players were also busy trying to please big-name agents or corporate sponsors.

Because of my limited talent, I could be eliminated from the second-tier team at any time, so no one paid any attention to me. I only received a business card from Todd.

In this way, I became his first client, and I was lucky enough to stay in the second team and be promoted to the first team the next year."

Speaking of the memories on Mashki's face, it could be seen that he was actually very lucky to have met Todd. Lin Hong had never experienced the feeling of meeting a close friend by chance, but he could imagine it.

"To be honest, Todd's ability is not bad, and he is always full of passion for work. Every time he is asked to do something, he will complete it seriously and always try his best to help us fight for our interests.

I just don’t know if it’s his bad luck or our bad luck. Including me, none of his clients are really successful. Everyone seems to have bad luck. They are either seriously injured or eliminated by cruel competition, and then leave one by one.

Green field.

Slowly, he has fewer and fewer resources. The clubs are very cautious about the players he recommends. Some clubs will directly reject the players they recommend without even going through the trial training process as soon as they hear that they are recommended by him. His work is becoming more and more difficult.

The harder it is.

He has almost become a joke in the industry. New players who know him stay away from him. Old players will not consider him even if they change agents, so I became his last client.

When I was in the most difficult time, I thought about changing my agent, but then I realized that even if someone else had more resources than Todd, they wouldn't be able to treat me as wholeheartedly as Todd did, so I gave up this stupid idea.

idea.

He has not made much money in the past fourteen or five years, but he has not changed careers and is still focused on his job as a football agent. For this reason, he no longer has contact with his family and his fiancée also left him.

What has supported him all these years is not the fame and money he originally pursued, but his love, his love for football, and his love for his job as an agent. Maybe he himself doesn't know this.

That night he left my house, and I knew that as long as I gave up, he would give up too, because our careers were both over.

But when I told him that I was going to come to Japan for adventure, he came to life completely, and his excited tone was just like when I first met him, always full of passion and love.

When I found out that he had a fight with someone and went to the hospital, I ran to the hospital like crazy, and then I saw him talking on the phone at the entrance of the hospital. I didn't rush over directly, but I accidentally heard him calling those vampire real estate agents in Rome.

Because it took three days for the funding application from the gestifute international company to be approved, and he had not applied for it several times. So in order not to delay my trial training, he mortgaged his only apartment to the agency, and this was how we got our air tickets to Japan.

money.

He didn't tell me any of this, he didn't want me to know, and I pretended not to know.

All I can repay him is to work hard to stay, and only in this way can he and I get through the difficulties together."

Lin Hong didn't expect that these two middle-aged people still have so many romantic bonds. It seems that Lu Xun's saying that "every middle-aged person has another middle-aged person living in his heart" is reasonable.

After listening to Mashki's words, Lin Hong probably had an understanding of Todd.

He graduated from a famous family but was depressed. Although he went through ups and downs, he never changed his original intention. He always has passion in his heart. The most important thing is that Todd still has love and righteousness. Even though Mashki is an unprofitable client, he still thinks about him as always, even at the expense of himself.

risk.

If this Todd is really what Mashiki said, Lin Hong thinks he is the most suitable agent for him. But Lin Hong is not a person without his own judgment. He can't just rely on Mashiki's touching memories.

Decide on your own brokerage contract.

After the morning training, Mashki left with Todd and his wife, and Lin Hong also started normal daily training.

The afternoon training session was a half-hour offensive and defensive drill in each half. Mashki finally appeared on the training ground. This time he was assigned to a group with Lin Hong.

At first, Mashki didn't adapt to the lineup and the rhythm, and ran past it several times. However, he soon adapted to the rhythm of JFL, and he was very good at defending and distributing the ball.

Mashki's defense did not disgrace the Italians, but the offense was much weaker than that of Toda Kazuyuki, but it was still not a problem to protect the ball and distribute the ball.

Lin Hong seemed very comfortable in the training session. This was the first time he felt this way since Kazuyuki Toda was injured. Especially when he was on the wing, he could sprint more boldly without having to worry about being counterattacked after being intercepted.

It feels so good to have someone supporting me behind my back.

There are many people who feel the same as Lin Hong. Of course, those who play against Mashki are sad. They are obviously a level lower than Mashki. The one-on-one success rate is very low. In addition, Mashki

Ji has strong lateral movement ability and does a very good job of assisting defense.

Todd finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Mashki's performance. Takeshi Okada and his coaching staff exchanged words from time to time on the edge of the court. Someone was responsible for recording some data, but judging from their expressions, they were still very satisfied.

After the training session, Lin Hong was the first to run over and give Mashiki a hug. He felt that if nothing unexpected happened, Mashiki should be his new teammate. Others also followed Lin Hong's example and stepped forward one by one.

To encourage Mashki, of course some of the midfielders were forced to smile. They can imagine how fierce the competition in the midfield will be when Kazuyuki Toda returns from injury.

"Mr. Mashki, please keep an empty stomach tomorrow morning. We will arrange for you to have a comprehensive physical examination. If there are no problems, I hope to start contract negotiations tomorrow."
