2 The agent who came from afar

The agent who came from afar

After the unprecedentedly tiring February finally passed, River Plate ushered in good news at the beginning of March. The team leader Ortega the Donkey has returned from injury. The return of this general will not only greatly Enhancing the attack power of the River Plate team also made up for the shortage of River Plate's lack of personnel for multi-line operations.

In the sixth round of the Spring League, the away game of the River Plate ushered in Banfield. At the beginning of the first half, Lionwell assisted his teammate Nano to score through a corner kick.

Leon's hot state this season has nothing to do with him not wasting his vacation... Now his free kick skills, passing skills, and dribbling skills are all better than last season.

In a technology-heavy arena like South America, Leon can shine as brightly as he can.

After taking the lead, the River Plate team played calmly. On the contrary, their opponent Banfield became anxious. This season, the A-League has presented a chaotic scene. Because the River Plate team had three wins, one draw and one loss in the previous five rounds, other teams also saw hope...

The anxious Banfield people held their positions again under the pressure of the River Plate team.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Leonwell pushed forward to the vicinity of the penalty area. After receiving the ball from Dalisandro, he took a step forward and took a Banfield defensive player.

Then he dribbled the ball into the penalty area like a jumping elf, and Banfield's players failed to guard the Argentine's first talent.

In the penalty area, Leonwell tapped his left foot lightly, then pulled the ball with his right foot and turned around. A gorgeous Marseille maneuver left Banfield's entire defense behind him.

Facing the goal with only the goalkeeper, Leon did not miss the opportunity. He easily pushed and hit the score to rewrite the score on the field to two to zero!

"This is really a goal that makes people lose their temper! Lionwell helped the River Plate team expand their lead through his excellent foot skills!"

The morale-boosting River Plate team almost scored another goal before the end of the first half, but it was regrettable that Cambiasso's long-range shot hit the crossbar.

Fifteen minutes after the intermission, the River Plate team finally ushered in the return of their No. 10 Ortega, and Cambiasso also returned the captain's armband to Ortega.

After the little donkey and his comrades embraced one by one, they also started their performance in the second half. The River Plate team seemed to have regained the state they had when they swept Ajia last season!

Banfield was helpless against a mighty River Plate, who conceded twice in the second half, with Ortega scoring his return goal and Lionwell scoring his career goal before the end of the game. The first header!

Well, although it was a header, Leon actually touched the ball lightly and changed the trajectory of the ball flying in the air into the net...

However, Leon, who successfully scored twice, was selected as the best of the game after the game. This scoring midfielder is telling the head coach of the Argentine national team, Madman Bielsa, through his performance, come on, take me to the East Asian Peninsula!

"I think, can Coach Bielsa consider letting Leon feel the atmosphere of the national team in Argentina's two friendly matches in April? In fact, I think Argentina can take Leonwell to the World Cup. He is from Argentina. Future power..." The media have already begun to call for Bielsa to bring Lionwell.

Although it is impossible for Leon to grab the starting lineup from the big players of the national team, being a substitute and feeling the atmosphere of the World Cup will definitely be a valuable experience for this eighteen-year-old kid.

However, the lunatic Bielsa didn't seem to hear the voices of the media. In the list he announced in advance for the April friendly match in Argentina, Leon's partner Cambiasso was also selected, but Leonwell was not mentioned...

Bielsa seems to have forgotten the Argentine genius.

...

"Well, it must be that I didn't work hard enough! I will definitely impress Bielsa! For sure!" In training, Leon is now working harder. After more than a month of hard work, he is now finally promoted to the top professional player again Secondary...

And Leon, who was promoted, also showed his demeanor very well in the knockout round of the Copa Libertadores!

In the first round of the eighth match, the River Plate, who was a guest at Guadalajara, was once overwhelmed by the home team in the first half.

The Mexicans have never been inferior when they played against Argentina and Brazil, the two South American powerhouses. The thin Mexicans have proved with their own actions that football is played with the brain.

But before the end of the first half, Lionwell saved the world again.

This was a goal in the 45th minute of the first half. The little donkey Ortega got a rare chance to break through from the left and then made a cross. The ball slipped past the goal, and no one touched the ball... …

Just when everyone thought that the first half would end like this, suddenly a point behind the penalty area, Leon broke out in time, he raised his right foot, aimed at the goal and shot in the air!

This ball is definitely 99% luck plus 1% skill!

Because Leon didn't think the ball would go in when he kicked the ball, but the ball he volleyed flew into the goal unstoppably like a cannonball!

This is Leon's fifth individual goal in the Copa Libertadores!

After this game, this goal was also rated as the best goal since the South American Copa Libertadores kicked so far this season, and the River Plate also relied on this away goal to escape from Guadalajara, Mexico!

"This goal fully proves Lionwell's imagination and his shooting feeling. Huh, well, if it is not for the fear of wasting his passing imagination, I really suggest that he should switch to playing forward! "Argentine star Kempes also sighed after the game.

So far this season, Leon has scored eight goals. He is the team's top scorer, and he is also the team's top assister and the first in the A-League's assist list.

It's a pity that Bielsa just turned a blind eye to Leon, who performed extremely well!

This made many Leon's brainless fans start to attack the lunatic personally.

...

"Okay, Leon, don't worry about the national team, as long as you maintain your current state, one day, the national team will wave to you." In a restaurant in Buenos Aires, watching Ortega, who had something on Leon's mind, also comforted him.

In fact, Ortega doesn't want Leon to fight side by side with him in the national team.

Dalisandro on the side also said: "Hey, you all have the chance to enter the national team, what about me? My God...Argentina lacks everything, except for an attacker like me!" The big head can only sigh with emotion. It's time!

Leon also nodded, "I know, okay, big brother! Our goal this season is to win both the Copa Libertadores and the Spring League champions! Don't care about Bielsa!"

"That's it! Come on, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time! Do it!" Seeing that Leon's mood had stabilized a little, Ortega was relieved a lot.

Ortega is also a person who has been there. Of course, he knows Leon's eagerness to enter the national team. When Ortega was brought to the United States in the 4th World Cup, he had been excited for a long time.

Huh, work hard! boy!

...

After eating and drinking.

Just when Leon was driving his stylish Maserati home as usual, he found that at the door of his house, a middle-aged man was looking in furtively from the outside.

"Thief?" Leon frowned, then parked the car on the side of the road.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" Leon walked towards the middle-aged man warily. If the guy ran away immediately, he must be a thief...

But instead of running away, this sneaky guy was very happy to see Leon, "It's finally here!"

I saw this guy handing a business card to Leon, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Jorge Mendes, and I am a rookie who has just obtained the agent qualification certificate. Because I have been doing A player database, when I was doing the South American player database, I heard about you from the newspapers. You are Leonville, the noble son of the Argentine population, right?"

Jorge Mendes? Why is this name so familiar?

"How do you know about my family?" Leon looked at Mendes suspiciously and asked.

"Don't worry, I won't reveal your home address, I naturally have my own way! But I don't think your son will drive away a guest from afar from Portugal, right?" Mendes laughed.

"Are you from Portugal?" Leon took his business card from Mendes, and suddenly realized...

Jorge Mendes, isn't this the agent of the Portuguese gang of Christian Ronaldo, Mourinho, and Pepe? Isn't he a famous football agent who will influence the major European giants in the future by himself?

"Well, I took a long flight from Portugal, because I was moved after I heard that you don't have an agent. I think, you must be worrying about two things recently." Mendes is confident Looking at Lionwell completely.

Leon also looked at Mendes with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Mendes, then I really want to know how you know that I am troubled by two things recently, come on, come with me."

Leon doesn't want to talk to Mendes outside, but Leon is really interested in Mendes, especially this guy flew from Portugal to Argentina by plane for more than ten hours...

Mendez nodded, then followed Leon into his villa.

"It's really surprising. Have you really only played professional football for a year? How come you already drive a luxury car and live in a villa?" Mendes asked in surprise.

"I'm the rich second generation!" Leon gave Mendes a white look.

"Oh!" Mendes nodded with a sudden realization. There are many rich second generations on the football field, and the famous Italian midfielder Pirlo is one of them. It's just that Pirlo didn't rely on his family to break out his own world on the football field!

The two sat down in the living room, and after Leon made a cup of tea for Mendes, Leon looked at Mendes and asked, "Tell me, Mr. Mendes, you came all the way from Portugal to find me, and you will never Just to solve my problems, right?"

Mendes lifted the teacup from the table and took a sip unhurriedly, "It's delicious! The oriental leaves are so amazing! Huh, Leon, can I call you Leon?"

"Of course." Leon nodded.

"I came all the way from Portugal to solve your problems. Listen to me first. You must be worrying about two things recently, right?" Mendes asked, looking at Leon.

"Which two things?" Leon stared at Mendes and asked.

Mendes smiled. At this time, Leon suddenly noticed that Mendes' sharp eyes were staring at him up and down: "First, you must be worrying about the summer transfer. As far as I know, now At least seven European giants have approached River Plate to discuss your transfer in the summer."

"Second, you must be worrying about not being able to enter the Argentine national team. After all, the World Cup will start in three months, but now the madman Bielsa is still turning a blind eye to your outstanding performance, so you have troubles."

After Mendes finished the first and second things, Leon immediately said: "Do you have a solution?"

"Of course!" Mendes said confidently!
