As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 33 Brother Pure and Flawless

"Because I'm handsome."

"If you are also called handsome if you are thin-skinned and tender-skinned? You are really blind." Grealish complained on the spot.

"Hey, you are looking for a fight, brother, this is pure and flawless."

"Nonsence."

The two were joking and soon returned to the Villa training base.

As soon as he entered the training base, a reporter greeted him. It turned out to be the club's team reporters and several major media reporters. They all came to Jose.

Unlike Glarish's personality, Jose doesn't like dealing with the media, but this time he had to accept an interview because it was a task given to him by the club.

In addition, there is a bonus of 5000 pounds, which is equivalent to Jose's monthly salary.

The entire interview process was far from joyful at all. It was basically just reporters asking questions, and then Jose answered mechanically.

"Mr. Jose, I heard that you participated in Manchester United's trial training last year, but in the end you chose to join the Villa youth training camp. What caused you to make such a choice?" A reporter suddenly asked .

"The reason?" Jose frowned slightly, and then remembered what happened in Manchester that day.

That day was definitely the saddest day in Jose's life. If Lawler's scout hadn't used his personal relationship to recommend him to the Villa youth training camp, he would probably only be able to enjoy the ridicule and blank stares of others on the school playground.

"Actually, the reason is very simple. I failed to pass Manchester United's trial training. It was Mr. Kevin who gave me a chance to try." Jose said half-truthfully.

Although Jose disclosed very limited information, the news was explosive enough for reporters who were good at making use of the topic.

"Mr. Jose, your performance in the FA Youth Cup has attracted the attention of many big clubs. If they extend an invitation to you now, would you consider leaving (Villa Club)?"

Hearing the reporter's question, Jose's expression changed for a moment, and then returned to normal.

It is naturally a happy thing to have a wealthy family pay attention to themselves, but now Jose is still a player in the Villa youth academy, and some things cannot be said in front of the media.

"It is a happy thing for me to be recognized by a big club, but now you ask me how to choose, I can't tell you the answer. Before the club makes a decision, I am still a member of Villa. ’” Jose replied.

Although these remarks are a bit official, what Jose said is indeed the truth. There is no result yet, and he cannot make a decision casually.

"Then Mr. Jose, can you reveal the reason why you participated in the Manchester United trial?" a reporter asked again.

"The reason is simple, because I like football and when I have the opportunity, I come." Jose said without hesitation.

"Mr. Jose, the Huaxia National Team has announced the latest roster. Are you unhappy that you didn't make it to the roster?"

Jose has learned from the Internet not long ago about the new squad of the national team. Of course, he will feel somewhat disappointed when he fails to enter the squad, but he is not unhappy.

"I don't feel unhappy. After all, I'm still young and I still have opportunities in the future." Jose said with a slight smile, as calm as a breeze.

……

The entire interview process lasted more than two hours, and Jose's attitude was always very modest, and his answers were quite smooth.

But the reporters were still not very satisfied, and kept asking Jose various questions.

Finally, the interview is over.

After the reporters left, Grealish came over and gave Jose a thumbs up: "Jose, I didn't expect you to have a way of dealing with reporters."

"Hehe, it's okay." Jose smiled lightly.

After experiencing two FA Youth Cup finals and finally winning the championship, Jose's vision began to change, and his whole person began to mature slowly.

While Jose and Grealish were chatting, McDonald came over: "You two can watch the game with the senior team tomorrow."

Hearing what the head coach said, Grealish immediately smiled and said: "Great, I usually have to train, and I haven't been to the scene to watch a few games of the home team."

Only Jose, thinking of the agreement with Mendes tomorrow, had no choice but to say: "Coach, I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

"Oh?"

"As you know, I have never had an agent. Just today, Mendes contacted me and asked me to meet tomorrow." Jose didn't hide it. In fact, this kind of thing can't be hidden. Speak up.

"Mendez? Good thing, you go." McDonald nodded and did not ask Jose to go with the team.

Mendes' influence in Europe is still extremely huge, and Jose does need an agent to take care of some affairs, so McDonald did not stop him.

After getting the head coach's approval, Jose breathed a sigh of relief.

After chatting with Grealish, Jose returned to the dormitory alone, took a shower and rested.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Jose got on the train to Waymanchester.

Before getting into the car, he looked at his watch again. There were more than two hours left before the appointed time, but for him, this was more than enough.

It is less than two hours' drive from Birmingham to Manchester, and Jose can fully catch up with the time agreed with Mendes.

Finding a seat in the carriage, Jose closed his eyes and rested his mind, preparing for a good night's sleep. When he arrived in Wymanchester, he would rendezvous with Mendez in good spirits.

When the train entered the urban area of ​​Wymanchester, Jose who was sitting on the window seat suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window.

For this city that once made him sad, Jose is now full of complicated emotions. This kind of complexity does not come from his distaste for this city, but more because of the man in this city named Ed Woodwood. disgust of men.

After getting off the train and calling a taxi, Jose went straight to the hotel agreed with Mendes.

In the hotel room, Mendes had already been waiting there, and as soon as Jose came in, he was embraced by Mendes warmly.

"Sorry, I couldn't go to Birmingham to meet you in person. The season is coming to an end, and the summer transfer window is about to open. I need to stay and deal with some things." After sitting down, Mendes said slightly apologetically.

Jose nodded. Mendes is a world-renowned super football agent, so he is naturally busy with many affairs.

"I am very pleased that you can come. Regardless of whether the cooperation is successful or not, you are my friend." Mendes said.

Jose smiled and said nothing.

Mendes is not only a lofty status, but also a senior, while Jose is just a young player who has just emerged.

The conversation between the two was very harmonious, and there was almost no obstacle. Jose agreed to cooperate with Mendes, and authorized Mendes to handle all matters related to transfers, contract renewals, portrait advertisements, etc. in the future.

"Jose, do you know how many clubs are interested in you?" Mendes suddenly asked during lunch.

"I don't know." Jose shook his head, he really rarely cared about things outside the court.

"No less than six, if you were given a choice, which one would you like?" Mendes continued to ask.
