At the beginning of 2009, there was no big news in the international football world.
The Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo reached the peak of his career and won the 2008 World Player of the Year and the European Golden Ball Award.
Thiago Silva moved from Brazil to AC Milan and started a new journey.
David Beckham, the " heartthrob " who had made his way in Merika, was on loan to AC Milan in order to catch up with the World Cup a year later.
" Alien " Ronaldo returned to Corinthians in Brazil.
In addition to these, there was another piece of news that caught the attention of the European football world.
Liverpool, the top of the Premier League, had been forced to a draw by an eighth-tier amateur team in the FA Cup!
Liverpool's main lineup tied with the amateur team at 3:3!
Most importantly, from the course of the game, although Liverpool had underestimated their opponents, they were still very serious most of the time.
They didn't give the amateur team too many chances. They just played a little conservatively in the final stage, so it wasn't a big problem.
Then the question was, if Liverpool's performance barely passed, why were they scored three goals by an amateur team?
The answer was obvious!
The hero of the amateur team's goal was the number 13 who achieved a hat-trick, Xuan!
Of course, this didn't mean that Xuan had completely caused a sensation in Europe. He became famous with one goal and was well-known by the public.
Xuan had only attracted the attention of some people in the football circle.
Most people's attention was still on Liverpool.
"Hahaha, Liverpool's main force was forced to a draw by an amateur team at home!”
"I think they should just stop fighting for the title.”
"If they meet Manchester United, they can at least score 10.”
"Don't boast. The amateur team is quite strong.”
"How strong can an amateur player be? I underestimated the enemy."
"I've watched the game. Liverpool played well. The main thing is that the opponent's vanguard is too demonic."
"Him? They were good at math, table tennis, and kung fu…How could they be good at football?”
"You'll know once you watch the competition.”
"That's right. I suggest you go watch the game. Three godly goals will blind your eyes.”
In fact, Xuan's first kick was a volley from 35 meters away on the left side of the court, his second kick was the Heavenly Fairy, and his third kick was the Fairy Falling Leaf Ball.
Each of the three shots had its own brilliance!
Moreover, the three goals had already been selected for the Top goal rankings of the major television stations.
However, the fans were only amused.
From time to time, an unknown player would appear in the football world and play all kinds of world-class games.
Then, before they could even make a splash, they had already sunk into the sea.
What remained on the table were still the top league stars that everyone was familiar with.
Of course, the layman was watching the show, while the expert was watching the tricks.
The qualities Xuan displayed in the competition had already attracted the attention of professionals.
While the fans were discussing the game, some clubs were also talking about Xuan.
For example, Liverpool, who had just lost face.
……
In the conference room of the Liverpool office building, Benítez came to the CEO's office.
Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr., who the fans referred to as the " Two Heroes of Dog-Blood ", were casually leaning against their desks.
"I want to give Xuan a chance to train.”
Benitez said seriously.
He took stock of the strikers on the team. Other than Torres, the others actually had their own flaws.
The problem was not small! Even the most crucial battle was not reassuring!
Torres was very strong, but he couldn't always cripple Torres, right?
If a player like Xuan, who was good at seizing opportunities, good at snatching, good at scoring goals, was in the formation…
Gerrard, Alonso, the team could give him strong firepower support.
In a crucial match, it might have a miraculous effect!
Master Tactician Benitez had already discovered Xuan's brilliance.
However, the boss, Hicks, scratched his ear and said lightly,""He's an Eastern citizen, right?"
The meaning was obvious. Even if Xuan came in, it would be difficult to get a work permit.
More importantly, signing an amateur player?
It would damage Liverpool's image.
The two bosses knew that the club was in a debt crisis and needed to make as much money as possible.
How could he sign an amateur player? What if the investors and the market didn't have confidence in them?
"I can apply for a special genius clause!”
Benítez still wanted to fight for it.
"Alright, let's think about it. Is there anything else?”
The two bosses did not intend to continue the conversation and were already prepared to send the guests off.
Benítez understood that there was no room for discussion. He sighed helplessly and turned to leave.
In fact, he had long wanted to leave. These two bosses were too unreliable!
A shining player like Xuan didn't need a transfer fee!
Even if he were to sell it, it would be worth at least 20 million!
F * ck, it's fine if you don't know how to play ball, but you don't even know how to do business!
Benítez had already decided that if he did not win the title this season, he would have to pack up and leave.
……
In addition to Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur…and some small and medium-sized football clubs also sent people to inspect Xuan.
Of course, these scouts were still too slow. Someone was already two months ahead of them!
North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany| London, Ormond.
The Stoberalli Training Center was the training base of the Bundesliga powerhouse Dortmund.
Dortmund's manager, Jurgen Klop, was sorting out information in front of the computer.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
The man at the door was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He wore glasses and carried a suitcase. He walked in, looking travel-worn.
"Jurgen, my complete report has been sent to your email.”
"Yes, I saw it."
Klop nodded lightly and looked at his scout.
"Ian, since you came to me as soon as you came back, you must have a clear suggestion.”
The Dortmund scout Ian Graham nodded seriously.
"I want to change my previous opinion. My current suggestion is to sign Xuan, and it's best if it's as soon as possible.”
"He can become a sharp knife for the team! The future value is immeasurable!"
