Reyes is actually unwilling to leave Seville because his home and family are here and he doesn't want to leave his hometown.
The thought of going to that completely unfamiliar place filled him with terror.
He has never left home for such a long time in all his life.
Although Valencia is in Spain, for Xiaomiangua Reyes, it is no different from going abroad.
But Sevilla doesn't care that much.
They only saw four million U.S. dollars. It was not easy for a 17-year-old player to buy four million U.S. dollars.
Maybe if you wait another season, you won't be able to sell it for so much money.
So they just went ahead and played it regardless of what Reyes himself thought.
When Reyes learned that his club planned to sell him, he returned home in tears.
His mother, a standard Andalusian matriarch, a housewife who strongly controlled the family, saw that her most promising son was in a very low mood, so she came up and asked: "Did someone bully you during training, my dear?"
?”
Reyes lowered his head and shook his head.
"Okay, let me guess... you missed a kick during training?"
Reyes continued to lower his head and shook his head.
"Is it possible...you have a girl you like?"
Reyes was shocked and finally raised his head and shook it vigorously.
"Okay, tell me what's wrong with you!" Reyes' mother Mariana - the locals call her Mary - put her hands on her hips and looked at Reyes seriously.
"Uh... I... I received a notice that the club, the club... is going to sell me!" After speaking, his eyes were filled with tears.
Mariana was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes. She put her arms around Reyes and pulled her son into her broad chest.
"This is a good thing, dear. Why are you sad?"
"Because I can't bear to leave you...Mom...I don't want to leave home..." Reyes seemed to have suddenly found a way to vent his emotions and cried directly in his mother's arms.
It's really like a child who hasn't grown up yet.
"Don't worry, honey. We'll go wherever you go."
After hearing what his mother said, Reyes raised his head in surprise: "Really?"
Mariana smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true, because I can't let you go either. My dear!"
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and two men walked in. One was Reyes's father, Francisco Reyes, and the other was Reyes' agent, Jesus Rodriguez.
.De Moya Comte.
The two men had unconcealable joy on their faces.
Seeing Reyes and Mariana at the door, they were stunned for a moment.
Then Reyes' father was the first to react: "Mary, go and prepare the food. We are going to celebrate today, for Jose!"
Mariana gently let go of Reyes and agreed with a smile: "Okay!"
Reyes turned back and looked blankly at his father and agent. He didn't know if there was anything he needed to celebrate, or if it was for himself...
Agent Jesus Rodriguez de Moya came up, touched Reyes' head as an elder, and said with a kind face: "Jose, you are going to a bigger and better stage.
Come on. Work hard when the time comes! Don’t embarrass your parents!”
Reyes' brain was still stuck on the doubts he just had, and he just nodded numbly.
So at the family dinner that night, the family made a decision - Reyes would transfer to Valencia.
The parents were haggling with agent Jesus Rodriguez, discussing loudly how to get a good contract from Valencia.
During this period, the couple still had some fierce quarrels, but they would soon return to the issue of interests and discuss it calmly. It was as if the previous quarrels did not exist at all.
"The salary can be higher..."
"You're stupid! The salary can be less, it doesn't matter, the key is the bonus, the bonus! Valencia is a team that has been able to reach the Champions League finals for two consecutive years, how can they lose the championship?"
"You're stupid! Will Jose be able to play in the competition if he goes there? Those awards like this and that are just like the moon in the water! Only salary is the safest thing! So the salary should be higher!"
"Oh... Anyway, I want it to be as high as I can..."
And Reyes' brother Jesus - "Jesus" is a market name in Spain, and I don't know how many people use it - was patting Reyes on the shoulder and laughing loudly: "That's great.
Come on, Jose! You’re going to be a big star! Valencia! That’s the team that has reached the Champions League finals two years in a row!”
Although there were not many people in the small room, it seemed very lively.
A typical gypsy family.
※※※
No matter how good a contract Reyes' parents want, Reyes is only a 17-year-old boy. He only played 20 games in the second division last season. He lacks evidence to prove himself in the first division.
So his contract is actually not that high.
Reyes' agent Jesus Rodriguez obviously knew this, so his request was not too excessive.
Even so, Reyes's parents were very satisfied.
Jose Antonio Reyes Calderon is the most promising child in their family. For a poor Gypsy family, having a promising child is a cash cow for the whole family.
Since Seville, all of Reyes' income has been firmly controlled by his mother. If she gives him some pocket money every month, he will be very happy.
On the day of the signing, the Reyes family rushed from Seville to Valencia in agent Jesus' car to attend their son's physical examination and signing.
When Chang Sheng and manager Pitachi signed the contract with Reyes on behalf of the club, they were all shocked - it was the first time for them to see the player signing with his whole family.
It feels like parents sending their sons to take the college entrance examination...
Chang Sheng thought of the gossip he had seen about Reyes before, and he was convinced that those gossips were all true...
The Reyes family really attaches great importance to their youngest son. At the same time, Reyes is not embarrassed by the whole family coming with him, so it can be seen that Reyes is indeed a very family-oriented person.
...little brat.
Reyes was suddenly startled when he saw Chang Sheng, and then looked at Chang Sheng with horrified eyes.
Chang Sheng grinned at him.
In Reyes' eyes, his expression was like that of a monster. His mouth could be split to the base of his ears, and he could be swallowed whole by opening his mouth.
"Looking at your expression, you don't know that the current head coach of Valencia is me, Reyes?"
Chang Sheng smiled.
Reyes's mind went blank and he didn't know what to answer.
He really didn't know that Valencia's head coach was now a Chinese. Because he usually didn't care about the news about other teams except Sevilla. Naturally, he didn't know that Valencia hired Chang Sheng as the head coach.
Nothing.
"Okay, okay, put away that ghosted expression of yours, Reyes. Don't worry, I won't let anyone kick your legs this time. On the contrary, if someone wants to kick your legs, my
People will fight him tooth and nail." Chang Sheng walked up and patted Reyes on the shoulder, as if he was very familiar with Reyes.
In fact, he and Reyes are indeed very familiar, because he has seen Reyes on TV many times in his previous life. He also often uses him when playing FM games.
Reyes, on the other hand, seemed very reluctant to let go in front of his enthusiasm.
He may still be unable to accept that his former enemy has become his head coach.
He began to regret his decision to come to Valencia - even though this decision actually had nothing to do with him and was made for him by his family.
But it's obviously too late to regret now...
He just boarded the victorious pirate ship.
Years later, Reyes would still laugh when he thought about what happened on that day.
It's just that it's no longer scary, but sweet...
※※※
Before Reyes moved to Valencia, Kili Gonzalez negotiated a personal contract with Inter Milan and then transferred to Meazza.
He feels that he has escaped from a dead end and will have a better future in the wealthy Inter Milan. He can win more championships.
Cooper was also happy because he got Killy Gonzalez as he wished, which strengthened the team's left wing strength.
Looks like it’s a win-win…
Chang Sheng turned around and forgot about Cooper and Keely Gonzalez, two buddies who were doomed to tragedy.
He was also very happy, because if it weren't for this matter, he would never have thought of recruiting Reyes to his account.
If he remembered correctly, after Sevilla was promoted to the First Division this season, Reyes became the main player. He performed well and became famous in one fell swoop.
Although his performance in the Premier League was average, he was still very powerful in La Liga.
He bought such an excellent potential stock for four million, and even if he had to sell it in the future, he would still be able to make a huge profit.
After acquiring Reyes, Changsheng announced that Valencia's signings and cleaning operations this season had been successfully completed.
From now on they won't care about any moves in the transfer market.
Chang Sheng has already got the people he wants in the transfer market, Ibrahimovic, Carvalho, Guardiola, Ferreira, Villa and Reyes, and none of them are wasted.
He also sold excess players, freeing up more salary budget for the team and reducing the club's financial burden.
From an economic perspective, he did very well.
But from a competitive perspective, how well he does needs to be tested in actual combat.
Chang Sheng also understands this truth very well. An excellent head coach does not rely on the ups and downs in the transfer market to prove his ability, unless he is a general manager. The final criterion for judging the level of a head coach is based on competitive results.
Withdrawing from the transfer market at the beginning of August can allow the players to calm down.
Now they don't have to worry about being purged, and they don't have to think about leaving.
Regardless of whether they like it or not, they must stay here for at least half a season, train hard, and strive for more playing opportunities.
Chang Sheng began to practice tactics behind closed doors again.
However, he seems to have forgotten something...
※※※
There is a training ground between the training ground of the Valencia B team and the training ground of the first team.
When Zahovich finished training, he didn't want to stay in the B team for a second longer. He walked quickly off the court and into the locker room.
He took out his mobile phone: "Is there any news yet?"
"Originally there was, but their offers were all rejected by Valencia..."
"Oh shit!"
"There is also bad news. Zlatko Chang announced the end of Valencia's actions in the transfer market... They closed the transfer market early!"
Zahovich was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Does this mean I can't leave now even if I want to?"
The agent on the other side of the phone sighed helplessly: "It looks like this..."
Zahovich struggled to control the urge to throw his phone on the floor of the locker room. He clutched the phone tightly and yelled: "Damn! Damn! That damn Chinese bitch! Bitch——!!!"
A player from the B team pushed in the door and saw Zahovich, who had been demoted from the first team to the B team, furious.
They were stunned for a moment, then walked in with their heads lowered, as if the other person was nothing, and did what they had to do.
Zahovich also treated the other party as nothing, and continued to curse Chang Sheng as if no one was watching, saying all the ugly things.
Like a crazy psychopath.
But such rants could not solve any problem, and certainly could not change his fate.
His fate had already been decided from the moment he decided to go against Chang Sheng.
For Zahovich, he has lost the most precious time. This half season, or even a season, he has to spend in the B team in obscurity, and no one will care about him. Now the players of the B team usually
All the talk is about the news that so-and-so is coming to the first team again. Who cares about him, the strongest star in Slovenian history who once played 20 times in the first team and scored two goals?
So he cursed like crazy and always won.
But for Chang Sheng... well, in his busy work, he has completely forgotten about this poor guy who was assigned to the B team!
