Chapter 66: Guidance

It was still pouring rain outside the window, Adam sat in the living room, watching the rain hitting the balcony railing.

Just under the railing, Gao Bo's boots were still covered with mud.

Alan Adam sat on the other side of the sofa. He looked at his brother, then turned to look at the boots on the balcony.

Adam, who came back today, did not shout to play football games, but sat on the sofa in a daze. This is really rare.

Alan scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

The phone rang, and Adam, who was in a daze, glanced at the caller ID.

Neil Jenkins!

It was his agent, Adam hesitated and answered the phone.

"Adam!!" Neil Jenkins on the other end of the phone was quite excited, "Manchester City!! Do you know Manchester City!! That Premier League team, God, they're so rich!! You know what, Adam, Mark Hugh He even called me personally!!"

Speaking of which, the first image that pops up in people's minds of the richest club this year is not Chelsea, but Manchester City. Manchester City, acquired by a Middle East consortium, has unrivaled financial resources. They can buy all the stars they like, and in this generation without Financial Fair Play, there's nothing stopping them from spending.

In fact, without the introduction of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act, the traditional giants will probably face the challenge of the Big Mac teams cultivated from the influx of funds from more than a dozen places.

This is the case with Manchester City now. The Abu Dhabi consortium is waving cheques. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it will never be a problem.

"Mark Hughes?!"

Adam was also a little surprised, and at the same time he was overjoyed.

Mark Hughes is the head coach of Manchester City. He really did not expect that Mark Hughes would personally call his agent!

"Of course!!" Neil Jenkins on the other end of the phone was quite excited, "I've already agreed with Mark Hughes that he will talk about you in the media tomorrow, and the media's attention will definitely be focused on you. Body!! Then we can pressure Luton to let you go by the winter window!!”

"I haven't said whether I want to go to Manchester City!!" When it really came to an end, Adam was a little anxious!

"This is Manchester City!! Adam!!" Neil on the other end of the phone didn't care.

.........

"We are optimistic about acquiring Kaka, money is not a problem, but we also attach great importance to developing young talents belonging to England, we want to bring in Adam White, his performance against Chelsea in the FA Cup was impressive... ..."

Gao Bo looked at the face of Mark Hughes on the TV screen, his face was a little unhappy.

It must be the ghost of that agent and Manchester City.

The TV snapped off...

Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief. He was already thinking about what supplements his team needed to make after losing Adam.

For now, the absence of Adam White has little impact on the team. Due to Adam White's physical limitations, Gao Bo has always used Adam as a backup on the offensive end.

Gao Bo stood up and stretched, glanced at the dripping rain outside the window, turned and walked into the room.

......

"What about Manchester City!" Adam stood up suddenly.

"Mr. Neil Jenkins, you're just my agent!! You can't make decisions for me!!" Adam hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

It was raining harder outside the window.

"Adam..." Alan pointed to the boots on the balcony.

Under the scouring of the rain, the mud on the surface of the boots has been washed away, and the dark leather boots reveal his original appearance.

"These are our boss's boots..." Adam explained.

"Why did he let you take it back and brush it?"

"I don't know either...but there must be some deep meaning!"

"You're not going to Manchester City?"

"I don't know...but I think, at least I need to get back to my state first." After this phone call, Adam seemed to want to understand something.

He rubbed the top of Alan's head and looked at the pair of sneakers that Alan was wearing half a year ago that they considered their greatest ideal.

If it weren't for Gao Bo, he and Alan would probably still be living in the slums of London now...

......

The next day, Adam came to Gao Bo's office early and respectfully presented his clean boots.

Gao Bo's eyes softened, he pointed to the chair next to the desk, and motioned Adam to sit down. Compared with dealing with players' agents, Gao Bo is still better at communicating with players directly.

"You're only seventeen, Adam." Gao Bo stood up and walked to the window.

"You know what's most important to a seventeen-year-old player?"

Adam shook his head.

"It's possible to play the ball, Adam. You're getting the ball now, you need the chance to play, you need the experience of the game, you need to get the right coaching, you need to learn how to play."

Gao Bo turned his head and said.

"It's not impossible to go to a big club, but you have to know that when you get to those big teams, the competition you face is unimaginable. Once you don't perform well, it's like your last league game. Just lost." Gao Bo stretched out his finger, "I'm not being an alarmist, Adam. I guarantee you, you're not ready to compete in a big club. There's still a lot you need to improve."

Gao Bo's words were not deliberately said to intimidate Adam.

Adam's foot skills are good and the ball feel is very good, but he has little experience in the game and his ability to adapt to the field is not too strong. He is not the kind of football player who is born strong and talented. He is talented in some aspects, but in In some respects he is also very flawed.

"You can't even play a full game!"

Gao Bo sat back in his seat.

"What do I need to do, boss." Adam stood up, earnestly.

For Adam, half a year ago he was playing in the streets of the ghetto, and now he is touted by the media as England's talent. This transformation of identity made the seventeen-year-old young man a little at a loss.

"The Second Division will of course not be your stage, but when you learn how to fight for the game, when you can complete a good game, you can consider a higher stage." Gao Bo stretched out Two fingers, "Before the age of 20, you should not focus on transfers, what you need now is to return from the cloud to the ground, and keep your feet on the ground, just like when you came to the trial training. Like that pair of boots, use your feet to touch the ground, so your growth will be solid."

Adam, an orphan who grew up with Alan in a slum since childhood, has never spoken to him in such a father and brother tone, so little Adam was moved. In his eyes, Gao Bo replaced the image of his father in his heart...

He nodded hard.

"I'll do my best, coach!"

It was not until Adam walked out of the office that Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, this kid is calmed down...

To say how important the player Adam is, in Gao Bo's heart, it is not necessarily true. The loss of Adam actually had little effect on Luton. Adam is a very characteristic player, but his flaws are equally obvious. For now, Adam is only suitable as a substitute when the team can't open the situation. After losing Adam, it's a big deal to find a player with similar characteristics from elsewhere. Anyway, he has cards in hand and can always make up for the team's loss of combat power. The reason why Gao Bo is so concerned about this matter, but speaking, Adam can be regarded as one of the players that Gao Bo personally excavated.

Vardy and others were famous in Gao Bo's previous life, and the name Adam did not appear in the top arenas.

Therefore, to allow a player who was originally unknown to have the opportunity to grow into a first-class star, Gao Bo's psychology is still full of a sense of accomplishment.

Sunlight came in from the window.

The rain finally stopped.
