Chapter 5 Old Summer

Outside the Rotterdam elite training base, a man with an East Asian face was quarreling with the middle-aged guard in a skilled Dutch language.

"Hey, old guy, I told you that my players are training inside, I just want to go in and see what he is doing." The East Asians seemed a little impatient and wanted to rush in directly.

"I advise you to stay away, otherwise my stun gun won't be polite to you." The guard raised the stun gun in his hand, obviously not easy to mess with.

"Old guy, do you think I'm afraid of you, right?"

"Then come up and try it?"

"Just give it a try."

...

When Cheng Mo came out of the training base with the ball, he saw two men facing each other, one fat and one thin.

"Lao Xia? Why are you here?"

"Mr. Van Wilt, don't get me wrong, he is my friend."

Cheng Mo quickly stepped forward to stop the two of them from arguing.

The guard uncle Van Weirter snorted coldly, put away the electric gun, and educated Cheng Mo with thought: "Mo, you are a hard-working child, but you must remember to stay away from those friends, otherwise they will ruin you."

"Hey, old guy, who do you think is a friend? Tell me clearly." Lao Xia was instantly furious.

Van Weirt ignored it at all, left with only a look of contempt and left.

Cheng Mo held Lao Xia, who wanted to continue to argue with the other party, and changed the topic: "Lao Xia, when did you come? Did you come to visit me?"

"Of course, I happened to pass by Rotterdam and came to see you. Your landlord said that you have been doing personal exercise recently, and the intensity is quite high. You should be careful not to be too arrogant. It is not good to hurt your health..."

"I will know to pay attention. By the way, Mr. Xia is in good health, right?"

"He can eat and sleep every day, what's wrong with it? You guys are good at football skills. You are walking while playing the ball, and you can talk to me at the same time?"

"Of course, do you think I've been practicing more recently?"

The two were very familiar with each other, and they said as they walked, and soon arrived at Cheng Mo's residence.

Cheng Mo scrubbed it briefly and took Lao Xia to the restaurant downstairs for dinner.

Although it was lunch time, the Dutch did not show any obvious preference for Chinese food. The traffic in the restaurant was OK, but it was not crowded.

"Auntie, give me two big steaks as usual." Cheng Mo said, then turned to Lao Xia next to him and said, "You order what you want to eat, but you have to pay the bill yourself."

When Cheng Mo first entered the Rotterdam elite through the "backdoor" relationship, the Chinese aunt said that everyone is a fellow villager in the countryside, and Cheng Mo can eat and live in their homes for free.

So Cheng Mo lived upstairs in the restaurant, and he ate most of the time at the training base, but he would basically eat in the restaurant without training.

When lunch was served, Lao Xia looked at the larger portion of steak in front of Cheng Mo and exclaimed directly: "Can you eat such two steaks with such a large size?"

"There is no way. I've been exercising too much recently and I always feel hungry."

In fact, Cheng Mo hadn't told the other party that he could barely eat these two larger steaks. He had to add some milk bread to be considered to be a real full meal.

This may be the effect of strengthening the current in "marrow washing and bone removal" - the appetite increases greatly.

"You eat like this every day, your landlord has no objection?" Lao Xia knew Cheng Mo's situation completely, so she couldn't help but gossip.

"I only started training a lot in the past ten days, so I only ate for ten days, so she wasn't so stingy." Cheng Mo swallowed a few gulps and continued: "But I have told her that after two days the team resumes training, I will move to the training base to live, so it's so convenient to train."

In fact, Cheng Mo had no objection to the restaurant aunt family. Although he received a considerable handling fee from the Cheng family, he did take the money to do business and sent him to the Rotterdam elite team.

Without their help, Cheng Mo would definitely not be able to come to Europe for training.

As for whether you can kick it or not, it can only depend on Cheng Mo's own ability.

So, everyone just gets what they need.

Cheng Mo wanted to move to the training base. On the one hand, he really wanted to facilitate training, and on the other hand, he had the golden finger and believed that he would get the opportunity soon, so it would be easier to move there.

"Amo, I feel that you have increased a lot of ball recently. I believe you will be reused in the elite team soon." Lao Xia cleaned the Mapo tofu on the plate, wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "As long as you can be reused in the team, I believe you will be able to succeed soon."

"As a future star, it is absolutely impossible to do without an agent." Lao Xia talked for a long time and finally reached the point: "How about we sign the contract and let me be your agent, and we will definitely help you handle off-site matters clearly."

Lao Xia looked very sincere, and Cheng Mo was a little moved, but he still declined: "Lao Xia, you know my situation. I can't use an agent for the time being. When you need to use an agent in the future, I will ask you for help."

Cheng Mo did not agree, and Lao Xia no longer insisted, but instead brought up other topics.

In fact, Cheng Mo knew in his heart that Lao Xia was pretty good and quite loyal, but he was a little worried that he was not reliable.

For Cheng Mo who is ready to accept success, the agent is really important.

It is not uncommon in football stars who have been cheated by their agents.

Cheng Mo was not worried about Lao Xia's character, the only thing he was worried about was his personal ability, whether he could do the errand as a good agent.

Lao Xia’s real name is Xia Zhengli, and the Dutch name is Sebastian. He is 40 years old this year and is a Dutch Chinese.

Cheng Mo met the other party just two months after he came to the Netherlands. At that time, this guy saw Cheng Mo who had just finished training outside the Rotterdam elite, so he came over as a Chinese to get close.

After learning that Cheng Mo did not have an agent yet, the other party began to call himself a famous Dutch agent and wanted to sign him.

Cheng Mo is not a fool who is not very knowledgeable and has never agreed.

Unexpectedly, the other party was still persistent and would come to harass him once a week from now on.

As time went by, the two sides gradually became familiar with each other and began to call them Lao Xia and Amo, which was considered a couple of years old friends.

After winning each other's trust, everyone also informed each other about their situation.

Cheng Mo clearly told Lao Xia that he was not the talented Chinese player he thought, and even ordinary players were not considered to be. He was just a garbage player who could only enter the Dutch second team by taking the back door.

Lao Xia also told the truth that he is not a big Dutch agent, and he is not even a small agent. Although he wants to succeed in the agency industry and has indeed obtained the relevant broker certificate, he still does not even have a player who can play in the Dutch Eredivisie.

In general, both of them are losers in their respective industries.

In February this year, it was the Chinese New Year, and Cheng Mo did not return home, so he went to Lao Xia's house in Amsterdam to celebrate the New Year.

There, Cheng Mo truly learned about Lao Xia’s family situation.

Lao Xia is a second-generation Chinese. In addition to himself, he also has a father, Mr. Xia and an eighteen-year-old daughter.

Mr. Xia is a standard Chinese, but because he studied traditional Chinese medicine, during the special period of China, people like them were all targets of attack, so they hid in the Netherlands and settled in the Chinatown of Amsterdam.

Later, Mr. Xia found a Chinese woman to start a family, and she had the only son of Lao Xia.

Lao Xia grew up in the Netherlands. Although Mr. Xia taught him Chinese and medical skills very early, hoping that he could inherit his legacy when he grew up, he fell in love with football and dreamed of becoming a star.

Unfortunately, Lao Xia encountered the same problem as Cheng Mo. Although he had great enthusiasm for football, he was helpless to lack talent.

Lao Xia joined an amateur team in Amsterdam when he was young, but he never got out of the game. Instead, he said goodbye to the stadium due to a knee injury.

Lao Xia, who left the stadium, was a little decadent and began to linger in bars and disco venues, and did not return home for a long time.

When he was 22 years old, Lao Xia finally returned home, but he brought a Dutch woman with a big belly.

So, Lao Xia soon had a daughter.

Lao Xia finally matured a little with his daughter and planned to do something seriously to do his job to support his family.

But he still did not plan to accept Mr. Xia's mantra, but went to the exam for the agent certificate and planned to become a football agent.

The football agent industry is too deep.

Old Xia plunged in and couldn't find a way out at all.

A few years later, the Dutch girl of Lao Xia froze, so the only two of them were left in the family, Mr. Xia and his daughter.

Now Lao Xia opens a disco hall near Chinatown, which is his main source of income.

There are indeed several players under my command, but they are basically amateurs.

The only two professional players are still the kind who have had no meal and may lose their jobs at any time after eating.

However, Lao Xia has never given up his agent dream. Every once in a while, he will go around the Netherlands to see if he can gain one or two potential players.

It is precisely because of Lao Xia’s failure experience that Cheng Mo dared not take it as his agent so he did not dare to make a rash move.

However, Lao Xia is indeed a good person. After Cheng Mo left the Netherlands and returned to China in his last life, Lao Xia still contacted him often and asked about his situation.

I heard that Cheng Mo went to work as a courier, and I felt sorry for him again and again.

Before Cheng Mo was reborn, Lao Xia began to have a sudden idea, saying that he would take the coaching certificate exam and plan to be a football coach. He also promised Cheng Mo that when he really became a coach, he would invite Cheng Mo to be an assistant coach.

Although Cheng Mo just laughed it off at that time and didn't think Lao Xia could succeed, he was indeed a little moved.

As a friend, Lao Xia is indeed quite good.

Now that he is reborn, Cheng Mo also plans to pull Lao Xia with a chance.

But the matter of the agent is of great importance and cannot be dealt with at will.
