Chapter 307 Goodbye Dabao

In the evening, the rest of the "Waves to Dawn Squad" had already gathered and went to the Flimmin Nightclub in Lisbon's Nightclub Street, while Diego had to continue working as a part-time translator.

When everyone had already arrived at Fleming's nightclub, Diego followed the staff of the club's marketing department to the airport to welcome two players from China——Yu Dabao and Wang Gang!
Benfica Club decided to provide Yu Dabao with a four-year professional contract, and even registered Yu Dabao in the squad for the new season of the Portuguese Super League. Only a central defender with combat power has this "hole" for Yu Dabao to occupy a place.

As for the young Wang Gang, he signed with the Benfica U19 echelon. He will sign a 19+3 youth training contract with the Benfica U2 echelon—a 3-year youth training contract, plus a 2-year professional contract option. As for whether it can be activated This two-year professional contract option depends on whether Wang Gang can conquer the coaches of the first team with his performance, so that he is at least eligible to stay in the Benfica B team.

Since Wang Gang completed the trial training with the coaches of the marketing department and the Benfica youth training system, the head coach of the first team, Fernando Santos, did not know much about Wang Gang's signing.

After all, the first team and the youth training system have always worked separately, and there is very little intervention.

Although sometimes the head coach of the first team will select players from the youth training system, enter the first team to train together, or even skip a grade to give some U19 players the opportunity to directly play in the first team, but the head coach of the first team never intervenes Various signings completed by the youth echelon.

This also means that Fernando Santos knows nothing about Wang Gang, a young player who was born in the youth training of Tianjin Locomotive in 89, except for the name "Wang".

But fortunately, Diego knew Wang Gang.

The main right back of Lippi's national team in later generations, he played as a forward when he debuted, and later changed to a right avant-garde. After leaving Portugal and returning to the Super League, he was gradually transformed into a right back and played professionally in the right back position. Highlights of career.

This is like the former international footballer Zhu Ting.

As the main forward of the 85 National Youth League, Zhu Ting once lost his position because of the reform of the league and the influx of foreign aid from a large number of powerful forwards.

In the end, he could only be transformed into a right midfielder, and then moved to the right back position, and played the second spring of his career at the right back position, and was selected for the national team here.

Zhu Ting is also the first player in the national football team to be selected for the national team as a forward and a defender.

Before Diego returned to his later life in 2006, Yu Dabao and Wang Gang, who were about to become teammates with Diego, also became models of players selected for the national team as forwards and defenders.

Wang Gang's instantaneous burst of speed can be called a super fast horse on the wing. He even has a very strong physical confrontation ability, has enough height advantage to grab points, and can even cut in from behind to complete a shot. It's really horrible, basically it's the rhythm of sending it to the bottom line...

if!

If Wang Gang's wide cross can reach the level of Guangzhou R&F's Tang Sanshui, then he is basically a top full-back in Asia.

However, there is no if, the Chinese full-back players go down to the bottom line, and the last pass of the ball is really "no sight".

For example, in the highlights of his career, the right back Zhang Linpeng, who attracted the attention of many European teams, has always been criticized by people for his cross.Now that he has reached his thirties, returning to the central defender position, at least he does not need to pass from the wing, which is a little better.

but……

In the guard position, he accidentally developed the own goal attribute, which is really regrettable.

On the way to the airport with the marketing department and the youth training coach, Diego had already thought about it: since Wang Gang’s career highlight is at the right back position, it would be better to give him a suggestion to play full back earlier and let him Take less detours in your career!

When the Benfica group arrived at the airport, Yu Dabao and Wang Gang were already waiting for them at the airport.

To Diego's surprise, Wang Gang's manager was also Yu Dabao's manager, Huang Shan?

It seems that this guy does have connections in Portugal, and he managed two Chinese players to enter Benfica, a Portuguese Super League giant team, to be "gold-plated".

"Mr. Huang Shan, hello! Dabao, Wang Gang, hello."

"Hi Diego."

"Brother Diego! Hello, hello!"

Diego greeted him with a smile, and after shaking hands with Huang Shan and Yu Dabao who had already met, Wang Gang had a surprised expression when shaking hands with Wang Gang: "Hello! My God, your Chinese is of a good standard."

In this regard, Diego explained with the same official rhetoric: "Well! Because I like Chinese culture very much, I have learned Chinese since I was a child. The Chinese level is relatively fluent."

Since it was in the waiting hall of the airport, Diego didn't say anything to Huang Shan and Yu Dabao.

Diego signaled: "Let's go... The staff of the club are still waiting for you. It's quite late. After returning to the club to complete the contract signing, it's better to go back and rest earlier."

"Hey! Brother Diego, you can help to be an interpreter, so I can rest assured."

I saw Huangshan showing a "social smile": "We may have to interpret some contract terms later. Brother Diego may help us interpret them. After all, the contracts provided to us by Benfica are all in Portuguese. Although we I found an English translation, but the translation is still very blunt, there are some places... Hehe, it's a bit awkward, I can't understand it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Huang Shan..."

Diego doesn't mind being a part-time legal counselor for Yu Dabao and Wang Gang for a while. After all, Diego doesn't want Chinese players to suffer when they study abroad.

Diego smiled and nodded and said, "I'll be there throughout the signing process. If you have any questions about the contract, you can ask me directly. As long as I understand, I will help you understand it clearly."

……

In the car, Wang Gang seemed very nervous, and he didn’t know what to say when he met Diego for the first time. He sat upright the whole time, while Yu Dabao was relatively active. He kept asking Diego about the situation of Benfica, including the Benfica front line The team's technical and tactical style of play, the coaching style of head coach Fernando Santos, including the daily training rules, daily diet of the Benfica team... It can be said that they will ask about every detail.

Diego is very supportive of Yu Dabao's attitude.

This is quite professional, and understanding clearly will also help Yu Dabao gain a foothold in Benfica.

Therefore, Diego also patiently answered Yu Dabao's various questions. It can be said that on the way back to the club from the airport, Diego was solving Yu Dabao's worries and doubts.

Huang Shan has been using poor English to make good friends with Benfica's youth training coach, which probably means that he hopes that the youth training coach can give Wang Gang more opportunities and so on.

however……

Benfica's youth training coach completely ignored Huangshan's "social talk", and didn't even bother to say anything to Huangshan later, and just closed his eyes and rested.

This made Huangshan quite embarrassed, and in the end he could only end up laughing awkwardly.

Back in downtown Lisbon, in the Benfica office building, the marketing staff brought Huang Shan, Yu Dabao, and Wang Gang to the conference hall on the second floor for the signing ceremony.

Since Wang Gang is the signing of the U19 youth team, there is no ceremony at all for this signing.

Diego probably helped Wang Gang read the contract, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, Wang Gang and his agent Huang Shan directly signed the contract with Benfica Club, shook hands and took pictures as souvenirs—these photos will be listed in Benfica's official database at that time Inside, make sure there is information that can be queried in the future.

As for Yu Dabao's signing, it was relatively complicated.

After all, Yu Dabao signed a professional contract with Benfica, and even signed Yu Dabao in the first team, which is equivalent to signing a new aid.

Therefore, before signing the contract, the two parties also conducted some interactive ceremonies.

While these very official ceremonies were going on, Diego patiently explained to Huang Shan the various clauses in Yu Dabao's contract, ensuring that Yu Dabao's interests could be adequately protected, and Huangshan ended the interactive ceremony After that, let Yu Dabao sign his name on the contract.

Then it was time to take pictures.

Diego, as the "part-time translator" for the signing ceremony, also entered the scene with Yu Dabao and Huang Shan.

After the photos were taken, Yu Dabao's contract with Benfica was officially completed.

Diego smiled and shook hands with Yu Dabao and Wang Gang: "Congratulations! We will be teammates in the future. I hope you can have a good time in Benfica and enjoy playing football!"

"Thank you Diego..."

Wang Gang scratched the back of his head helplessly: "I'm just a player in the U19 youth team, and I have to work hard. Brother Dabao is quite good, and he has directly entered the first team squad. Maybe he will get a chance to play in the new season."

"I don't dare to think about the chance to play for the time being..."

Yu Dabao was a little discouraged and said: "Benfica is full of strong players. There are so many Portuguese internationals and Brazilian internationals. I just hope that I can gain a foothold in the Benfica B team for the time being! Then, step by step, after satisfying the coaches of the first team, I will enter the first team. a substitute."

"Don't be so discouraged!"

Diego smiled and encouraged Wang Gang and Yu Dabao: "In short! God rewards hard work! You have just arrived in Portugal, so don't think too much. Train with the team well, adapt to life in Portugal, and integrate into Portugal as soon as possible. living environment, master basic Portuguese communication, and then think about competing for the main position.”

After all, Diego leaned over and said quietly: "Tonight, I will take you to see the nightlife in Lisbon first, and meet the big brothers who know Benfica by the way!"
