One Hundred and Sixty Eight Youth Guards
Popular recommendation:
Gao Shen would never have imagined that Alexis Sanchez, who would earn a weekly salary of £500,000 from Manchester United in the future, would live in such a place since he was a child.
Facing the sea, there is no spring warmth and flowers blooming, only the rotten smell from the garbage on the beach.
The air here is extremely poor, the pollution is extremely serious, and the sky is gray.
All the way from Kamala is the Gobi desert. Gao Shen thought it would be better when he got to the seaside, but he didn't expect the situation to be worse.
But he finally found Sanchez.
It's actually easy to ask because he's a celebrity here and a Chilean international.
Gao Shen's sudden visit made the Sanchez family feel at a loss, because they couldn't even find a clean place in their house to invite them to sit down, and they couldn't provide decent food and water to entertain them.
The conditions here are really bad.
In fact, their family has already figured it out. After all, Sanchez is still playing football to make money, and the situation of other families will be even worse.
Gao Shen was standing in the yard, talking to eighteen-year-old Sanchez about the transfer.
Before Gao Shen left Camara, he had reached an agreement with Cobrelo, 1.5 million euros, and Sanchez belonged to Naples.
Next, someone will contact Sanchez to discuss the contract and treatment.
This is not something within Gao Shen's purview, but he can guarantee that it will be much higher than his salary at Cobrelo.
But distant water cannot meet near thirst.
Gao Shen took out all the Chilean pesos in his pocket, then took the money from Lucas and Roman Dias, and stuffed it all into Sanchez's hands.
This is what they exchanged at Kamala airport.
"Take your family out of here and go back to Kamala." Gao Shen persuaded.
The conditions here are really bad.
The pride of an eighteen-year-old boy made him want to refuse, but holding a lot of money, he hesitated.
"I will repay you, sir!" Sanchez said to Gao Shen.
Gao Shen smiled, "When you arrive in Europe, playing hard for me is the best reward."
Sanchez nodded emphatically.
...
Come and go in a hurry, but Gao Shen is not as brisk as when he came.
For him, coaching is a job, and for players, playing football is also a job.
But it is the same job, but the meaning is completely different.
For someone like Sanchez, playing football is how he and his family survive in this world, so he will give his best in every game.
"Look out, there are countless situations like this, and you can't help them." Roman Dias sighed.
He could see that Gao Shen was a good person.
But there are limits to what a good man can do.
"Actually, a family like them is really good. At the very least, Sanchez can still receive a salary in Cobrelo. He is a Chilean international with a promising future. Next, he will go to Europe. Playing football, their family has a future."
"But do you know? More, even the vast majority of families, they are poorer than the Sanchez family, and their children don't even have the talent to play football. They can only enter the mine and never get out of this copper mine. small town."
Gao Shen understood that Roman Dias was right.
He has never been a Holy Mother, but seeing it just now, he can't help but feel a little bit sad.
Well, who hasn't been touched?
He is not so great as to say that he wants to save poor people all over the world.
"Anyway, I didn't see it, I didn't see it, there's nothing I can do about it, since it happened to me, then I have to take care of it."
Roman Dias nodded and smiled, "If that kid has a conscience, if you help him like this, he will sell his life directly to you!"
"I don't want his life." Gao Shen smiled at Roman Dias, "I just want him to play well."

Before coming to Camara, Gao Shen spent two days in Santiago, the capital of Chile, and found the Colo-Colo Club,
It cost one million euros to sign a little-known player in the Colo Colo youth team, Arturo Vidal.
So far, this player has not made an appearance in the Colo Colo first team.
In contrast, as a Chilean international and an attacking player, Sanchez only has 1.5 million euros, which is already considered very cost-effective.
According to Roman Dias, Serie A's Udinese has also taken a fancy to Sanchez and has even reached an agreement with Cobrelo, but they have not paid the money and have not signed a formal contract.
Before coming to Chile, Gao Shen signed Peruvian left-back Juan Manuel Barr for 1.5 million euros in the province of Santa Fe, north of the Argentine capital Buenos Aires. Gas.
The 22-year-old Peruvian player is the main player of Santa Fe Colón and has performed well.
At the same time, through the relationship of Roman Dias, he successfully signed the 19-year-old Brazilian central defender David Luiz from the second division of Brazil's Vitoria, and he is also a dual nationality player.
It is a pity that Gao Shen did not go to Brazil to meet David Luiz because they were too far away, but asked Roman Dias to take charge of sending David Luiz to Italy through a friend of Roman Dias.
In this way, the high-spirited trip to South America can be regarded as a rewarding experience.
1.5 million to sign Sanchez, 1.5 million to sign Vargas, 1.8 million to sign Biglia, 500,000 to sign David Luiz, 800,000 to sign Cavani , 1.2 million to sign Di Maria, and 1 million to sign Vidal.
Among them, Gao Shen originally planned to sign Suarez, but he did not expect to be one step ahead of Groningen in the Netherlands.
When it was time to transfer planes in the Chilean capital, Gao Shen suddenly remembered Vidal of Colo-Colo and signed him on a whim.
Among the seven players, Vargas, Sanchez and Vidal are all non-European players.
The seven deals cost Napoli 8.3 million euros in total.
If the one million euros of Rakitic Basel is included, Gao Shen spent a total of 9.3 million euros in just over half a month.
This is really an astronomical figure for a Serie B team.

Italy, Naples.
When Marino received another call from Gao Shen, his brows furrowed again.
In the past period of time, he would receive a call from Gao Shen every two or three days, and occasionally receive a report from Roman Dias to learn about Gao Shen's every move in South America.
He was surprised to find that Gao Shen's signings had a very clear direction, and even directly locked on the players.
Moreover, these players usually have no lack of attention, such as Suarez, such as today's Sanchez.
Marino was very puzzled, how did Gao Shen learn about so many players?
His channel even went deep into the Brazilian sub-division. From an unknown Victoria club, he dug out a guy named David Luiz, which is too surprising.
Marino didn't understand, but he felt that he should report it.
The transfer fee for this Sanchez is not high, only 1.5 million euros, but in total, it has already cost nearly 10 million.
While Marino asked people to follow up and contacted the Chilean club called Cobrelo, he compiled a detailed list and went straight to De Laurentiis's office.
"Boss, this is the list of Gao's recent signings. The following is the list of players he arranged for me to follow up in Europe."
De Laurentiis sat behind the desk, crossed his legs, smoked a cigar, and smoked from time to time. After reaching out to take Marino's two lists, he looked at them seriously.
All things about money, he is very serious.
"They are all young." De Laurentiis saw the clue at a glance.
"Yes, the oldest is Juan Manuel Vargas, who is only twenty-two."
De Laurentiis smiled slightly, "It seems that he has really considered our finances."
In the first season, he only gave Gao Shen a transfer budget of 20 million euros, which is already astronomical in Serie B.
As a result, Gao Shen did not introduce a single powerful star, or even the players he used from Real Madrid, but searched around for some young players who were only about 20 years old.
The upside is that these players are cheap, but also worrisome.
Can these teenagers really challenge Naples?
"I did the math. He personally brought in eight players and cost us 9.3 million euros." Marino reported, "In addition, he asked me to help him operate in Europe, bringing in Graziano from Lecce. Pellet cost us 1.5 million euros, Bonucci cost us 1 million euros, goalkeeper Handanovic from Udinese cost us 1 million euros."
"In addition to the introduction of Gervinho from Beveren in Belgium, it cost us half a million euros, and the most expensive was the introduction of Marek Hamsik from Brescia, who will be nineteen years old. cost us two and a half million euros."
De Laurentiis couldn't help twitching the hand holding the report.
After all the calculations, until the last summary, the total cost was nearly 16 million euros.
Ruthless, it is too ruthless!
This is 16 million euros!
God, he didn't even bat an eyelid, just spent it all.
De Laurentiis lost his mood for smoking, and stood up directly from his seat, trying to calm down.
He has never been a local tyrant, and the 16 million euros is a huge sum of money to him, and he is also very distressed.
"How's the quality of the players?" asked the German.
"I understand that some players we have no information for the time being, but like Sanchez, he is a Chilean international, Udinese has been watching him for a few months, and Biglia, he is an Argentine World Youth Champion. The main player of the championship, Messi's teammate."
[To be honest, I have been using Mimi to read and update books recently, switch sources, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple are fine. 】
"Although we don't know some players very well, judging from the known players, they should be very good."
After hearing this, De Laurentiis let out a heavy breath.
Even so, he was still in a lot of pain.
"I believe in him. Since Udinese wants it, it proves that the player's level is not bad. I believe that he will be able to bring out a young guard!" De Laurentiis said heavily.
It seemed to be talking to Marino, but it also seemed to be encouraging himself.
