Chapter 8 You Are a Genius!
Frank Ribery, unlike those talents of various clubs, became famous at a young age. He is a rare late bloomer, and his future results are still a bit scary.
Between the age of 25 and 30, Ribery won three French football players, one German football player, and one European best player. These many honors are accumulated in a player's five-year career. It's unbelievable, but Ribery has done it. His five-year career is more glorious than the ten-year career of famous stars.
The point is that he was unknown before he became famous.
Even in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Ribery, who participated in the World Cup for the first time, performed poorly, and was criticized by the media and fans for nothing. It was not until after the World Cup that his name was gradually remembered by people. In only one season, he I got the French Footballer, followed by France and Germany. In the next few years, Ribery will be able to compete with Messi and C-Romancer.
But he didn't want to become famous at a young age like Messi and C-Romantic. When he became famous, he was already 25 years old.
Before the age of 25, he was completely unknown.
It can be said that Ribery came from playing field football. He was born in Boulogne in northern France, a port city near the English Channel. The first team he joined was also the Boulogne Club, and then he began to play a lot. Displaced career.
First Boulogne in France, then Ales, Brest, Metz, Galatasaray in the Turkish league, and then a free transfer to Marseille, where he changed clubs a year for five years.
After a year in Marseille, his performance was recognized a little, and it was with his performance in Marseille that he was selected for the French national team.
But that was already 2006. He is 24 years old.
It is 2003, Ribery is not yet famous, he is not valued at Ales club at all, if Wansheng remembers correctly, he will transfer to Brest Football Club in another month. It was also a Ligue 2 team. At the Brest club, he was still under-appreciated and had a difficult season.
Wan Sheng came, and naturally wanted to prevent this from happening.
He is not a Ribery fan. But he knew Ribery's future, that Ribery would be successful, that Ribery was talented.
There is actually a reason why Wansheng can think of Ribery.
The overall strength of the Derby County team is not high, even after more than two months of training. The strength is also only in the middle level of League One. The reason for this is naturally that the level of players is not high, but in fact there are still many outstanding players in the team.
The frontcourt has Burton - Reites, Ian - Taylor.
Midfielders include Lee Morris, Rich Ferdinand, Weberson, and Ivan Crewe, who has been developing set-piece skills.
Marcus and Alfred in the backcourt.
All of the above players can be considered very good, but that's all there is to it. This is already a shot made by Derby County, and everyone who can become a main player. Other players such as Peter Kennedy, Rousey and others can only Qualified as a substitute. Wansheng leaving them is just an addition to the depth of the team's bench.
It stands to reason that these excellent players are enough, but they are in addition to Weberson. There are almost no players who are good at playing on the wing. Fullback and fullback are the two positions that the team needs to supplement most.
Then Wan Sheng thought of Ribery.
Before coming, Wan Sheng had asked the Derby County club to contact Ribery's agent. Ribery should have known about this.
Contacting players privately is against the transfer rules. If Ales Club sues UEFA, then Derby County will definitely be punished, but Wansheng doesn’t care so much, the rules are just rules, most European transfers are Contact the players first, there are very few direct offers, not to mention that there is no famous player like Ribery yet. Even if the Ales Club knows about it, I am afraid they will not care. They are eager for a club to offer Ribery In their opinion, Ribery is not a good player at all.
Wansheng communicated with Ribery's agent and found Ribery's address.
This is a small white two-story building. The door of the building is a little worn out. The two rows of small flower ponds in front of the door have not been taken care of for a long time. It can be seen that this should be a rental house, otherwise the owner will not take care of it for such a long time.
Wan Sheng stood in front of the door, checked the sect number, and rang the doorbell.
The doorbell rang a few times, but no one answered. He stood there hesitantly, picked up his phone and thought about it, but he still didn't call.
After waiting in front of the door for a while, no one was seen. Wansheng simply walked along the path and admired the scenery of the small town in the south of France. After walking too far, he saw a small football field next to it, and a figure was in the field. Bump the ball.
The figure is very strong, and under his manipulation, the football flies around like dancing in the air.
Wan Sheng looked at it and smiled.
He recognized at a glance that this person was Ribery, and the long scar on his face was the most obvious sign, and fans liked to call him "Scarman".
Needless to say, Ribery's foot skills are an art. Watching him play football is an art, but Wansheng was quickly attracted by others. He stared at the potential value determined by the football training master system--
97!
Ribery's potential value can reach 97 points!
A flash of surprise flashed across Wan Sheng's face!
Even if he knew that Ribery would succeed in the future, he would become one of the top players in the world, and he would be the absolute core of the French team, but he was still surprised by this value. 97 points is not the highest, Wang Xiaolei has the potential of 99 points, but in fact the two are incomparable at all. Wang Xiaolei is at the peak of his potential as a professional player. He is 17 years old, while Ribery has already passed his peak period. It has already dropped a lot, and he is 21 years old.
Even so, he has a potential rating of 97!
Leiter and Alfred are one year younger than him, and one year younger will have a great advantage, because their future development space is wider, and because they have not participated in the professional league for a long time, their styles have not been completely finalized, but Their potential value is only in the early 90s, and Ribery is one year older than them, but the potential value is only higher than the two, and it is so high.
In the football training master system, all data evaluations are based on the same mechanism. If the evaluation value is above 80 points, it will be a lot worse if it is less than 1 point, let alone a value close to 100. This almost shows that Ribery As long as you rely on your own efforts, you are enough to become the top star in the world.
Of course, that's for sure, he is indeed the big star of the future.
Under the surprise, Wan Sheng suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He couldn't wait for Ribery to join his team. Instead, he wanted to see if the 21-year-old Ribery was really that bad, and he didn't pay attention to any club he went to.
However, Wan Sheng soon became calm again.
He was in no hurry.
Since they're all here, it's okay to wait a little longer.
Ribery is still bouncing the ball on the court, he is training the ball sense, and finding the ball sense by constantly bouncing the ball, it is difficult for him to do complex training alone, even passing and shooting are difficult to do alone. , that requires the help of others.
Ten minutes later, Ribery seemed to be a little tired. He wiped the sweat from his head and sat down on the grass to rest.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him.
Ribery raised his head and saw an oriental face with a smile on his face, which seemed to be very friendly and close. He was puzzled when he heard the man say something in very standard French. , "Frank, you are a genius!"
...
Ribery sat there, puzzled and surprised in his eyes.
genius?
How long has it been since I heard that name? It's been a long time.
When he was a teenager, he played wild football every day, in the dilapidated football field of his hometown, with those of his peers. At that time, many people said that he was a genius, because he was fast and skilled, and he could always pass A lot of people, but he was not selected for the Boulogne youth team until three years ago when the head coach of Boulogne saw him play and gave him a chance, he spent a year as a first team player in Boulogne .
At that time, the Boulogne club was only a team in the French National League, the lowest professional league.
Even so, he lost the title of genius.
Fortunately, after the season, he was spotted by the Ales club and joined the Ligue 2 team, but at the Ales club, he is also a player who is not valued. After a season has passed, he plans to leave and go elsewhere. roam.
He is no longer a genius now.
However, Ribery firmly believes that he is a genius!
Even if he didn't recognize him, he still believed in it, so he worked very hard, and when everyone else went on vacation and leisure, he was bored at home and constantly trained his football skills. He believed that one day he would succeed.
Ribery's face flashed with determination, he stood up and looked at Wan Sheng, "Yes, I'm a genius!"
Wan Sheng didn't expect Ribery to answer like this. This guy really has a personality, but... he likes it. He smiled at Ribery and stretched out his hand, "Wan Sheng, head coach of Derby County Club."
Ribery reached out to hold him and said in surprise, "Are you the head coach of that League One team Derby County? Sorry, I didn't expect you to be so young, and... you are from East Asia?"
Wan Sheng smiled and nodded. For a Frenchman, being able to distinguish between East Asians and West Asians is really good. He looked at Ribery and said seriously, "I am Chinese. Many people say that China is a Football desert, so I don't believe in my abilities, but I've always been proud of it and I'm convinced that I can be successful, don't you think so?"
Ribery was stunned for a long time before turning around, and immediately replied, "Yes, you are right... I am a genius, and I will succeed."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They haven't talked about more, but they've agreed on some points. (To be continued ~^~)
