All-around center

Many fans from Spain, Uruguay, England, etc. began to leave Brazil one after another.

They welcomed the quadrennial event with joy, but in the end they were eliminated in two rounds. They felt resentful but desolate in their hearts.

Even more so in Spain.

As the defending champions, they received great attention in this World Cup, but their performance that did not match the attention and their sluggish state caused them to be eliminated quickly.

In fact, they already had clues in the game against the Netherlands.

However, Spanish fans at the time believed that they could still adjust.

But in the end, they still failed to adjust and lost both games, ending in a bleak ending.

Uruguay's elimination was a tactical mistake. They could have gone further, but this is the case in the World Cup. After making a mistake, it will be even more difficult to recover.

England's defeat this time made the domestic atmosphere extremely indignant. Fans even called for the reorganization of the national team. They could no longer stand such a sluggish performance by the Three Lions.

At the same time, some people began to say that the two virtues just cannot coexist, and these two are already old, and it is time to withdraw from the national team to give young people a chance.

Once you lose, everything is wrong!

This is cruel football!

After all, the World Cup is one where some people are happy and some are worried.

Compared with the eliminated teams, the teams that successfully advanced are much happier.

Due to Croatia's advance advancement, the overall atmosphere became much more relaxed and there were more jokes.

Of course, they are a bit older, and they are even parents, so they rarely make the same childish jokes as before.

However, when this group of people gather together, they always make the atmosphere very relaxed.

Croatia has its own royal chef, which is also a chef brought from China. After all, no one can predict what problems will happen during the World Cup. It is always right to be cautious!

After having some breakfast, the Croatian team headed to a training ground not far away for training.

Having won both games, there is only one game left in the group stage.

They will face Costa Rica in the third round of the group stage!

This is also a key battle that will determine the top spot in Group D!

Whoever wins will be first in the group!

But unlike outside speculation, Croatia and Costa Rica became the protagonists of Group D.

As for the two major teams from South America and Europe, they were eliminated one after another!

"Costa Rica's counterattack is very sharp, especially in the transition stage between offense and defense. The midfielder serves as the counterattack engine and quickly launches a quick counterattack!"

"Among them, their No. 10 player Ruiz is the most important. Once we catch him, it will be difficult for Costa Rica to launch an effective counterattack, but this also requires someone to sacrifice and keep an eye on this player the whole time!"

Besic is still very cautious. Although he has qualified early, his goal is to be first in the group, so it is not time to relax yet.

Costa Rica's performance in this World Cup really surprised the world!

In two battles with powerful teams from two continents, they all won. This performance can be called a standard dark horse.

However, a dark horse can only be a dark horse!

Facing a huge lineup and strength gap, Costa Rica will usher in the most tense game!

The kind of pressure Croatia showed in the two rounds of this World Cup is frightening.

This is a bit like Spain in 2010, suppressing opponents throughout the game.

Moreover, whether it is rhythm or other aspects, they have done so well, which also makes other teams unable to find Croatia's so-called weaknesses.

Since the curse of the World Cup came true and Spain was eliminated.

Many people have speculated whether Croatia, now ranked number one in FIFA's national team, will be beaten to death by FIFA.

But that didn't happen!

Croatia is not aiming too high!

Nor do they show any signs of complacency.

Everything is proceeding steadily!

For Croatia, they know that although they are highly praised, they have not actually won the highest honor in the World Cup.

Potential is potential after all. Only by winning the Hercules Cup can they be qualified to be the so-called first!

In addition, the defeat in 2010 also caused them to suffer a lot, and the regrets and regrets in their hearts will not make them relax.

It can be said that Croatia in this World Cup is definitely united and is bound to launch an impact on the Hercules Cup.

"In recent games, there have been a lot of scouts coming to the stadium!"

Van Steyak said.

He was very familiar with those well-known scouts. As soon as the camera swept over, he knew exactly who was coming.

Currently, all major clubs have them.

The World Cup is a huge stage and these clubs will not miss this opportunity to find treasure.

Croatian players are currently recognized as useful in football. Although they are not cheap, they are cost-effective!

Since Su Ke's generation, there has been almost no loss.

For this reason, there is no problem for them to focus on Croatia.

But in addition to Croatia, other teams are also being targeted by scouts.

The one who gets the most attention is undoubtedly Colombian teenager James Rodriguez!

Two rounds and three goals, the young man has completely achieved himself on this stage, and at the same time attracted a lot of attention.

Among them are some European giants.

Colombia is not a strong team in the history of the World Cup. Their best result so far is the round of 16!

In the 1990 World Cup in Italy, they advanced to the second stage under the leadership of ‘Madman’ Higuita and ‘Golden Lion King’ Valderrama.

But before that, they were almost eliminated in the group stage in the World Cup they participated in.

But in this World Cup, they have won two rounds!

Their performance is so strong that it is jaw-dropping.

Among them, the young player James Rodriguez has become the most watched young player.

Rodriguez, who is still playing for Monaco in Ligue 1, has recently received many invitations from strong European teams, including some giants.

However, Rodriguez is still waiting.

He thinks he is in good shape and can continue to explode and get better treatment and opportunities.

Bang!

A beautiful arc ball hits the dead corner, the entire trajectory and arc are extremely perfect, even if the goalkeeper reacts, he is still powerless.

"It's impossible to save it from this angle!"

Colombian goalkeeper Ospina got up from the ground, looked at the ball in the goal and shook his head, then turned to look at the boy who was celebrating not far away.

The youthful face was full of joy.

And his heart became excited with this goal.

In fact, before the game, Colombia's focus was on No. 9 player Gutierrez, who was the offensive spearhead of the entire Colombia.

But Gutierrez failed to perform in the league, but the young player Rodriguez broke out perfectly, leading Colombia to overcome all the difficulties and now has won two consecutive victories.

Although there are some discrepancies, Rodriguez is fully trusted by his teammates for being able to perform like this.

Even the coaching staff quickly changed the tactical focus. Now Rodriguez is definitely the core offensive player of Colombia.

"I heard that Arsenal contacted you?"

Midfielder Aguilar asked, and it was not difficult to hear envy in his tone.

For any midfielder, Arsenal, a top team that competes in the top arena, has always been their dream.

At the same time, they can also accept the professor's training, which is of great help to their growth.

Rodriguez nodded: "Yes, but I haven't responded to them yet!"

Aguilar was stunned for a moment: "Why not respond? This opportunity will be gone if you miss it!"

Arsenal is a Premier League powerhouse, and it can also play in the Champions League. Isn't this better than Monaco where he is?

However, Rodriguez was silent.

Aguilar also understood it quickly.

This guy is very ambitious!

But it is also reasonable. If he has the performance and state of Rodriguez, he will try to delay and wait for better clubs to contact him.

Every World Cup will have a super genius.

Mbappe in 2018 is a typical example.

But earlier, Rodriguez in 2014 was even more so.

James Rodriguez does think that he is in a good state. He can continue to play, attract more attention, and get the favor of better teams. This is why he has not responded.

In addition, good things take time. He has confidence in himself. As long as his performance is not bad, Arsenal's attention will not be lacking.

But his ambition told him that he wanted better.

After a day of training, Rodriguez washed up, blew his hair straight, and then fixed it with hair wax, and then nodded with satisfaction.

With a lot of exposure recently, Rodriguez has also begun to pay attention to his appearance.

The moment he arrived at the hotel, he saw his father waiting at the door of the hotel.

"Father?"

Rodriguez walked over with some doubts.

His father took Rodriguez's arm, and then briefly talked to the head coach. After getting consent, he said this time; "Come with me, it will take at most half an hour!"

Rodriguez was a little puzzled: "Where to go? It's still the World Cup now?"

"You will know when you get there. I have already talked to the coaching staff. It will take only half an hour!"

After that, he pulled Rodriguez into the car and drove towards the hotel on the other side.

Along the way, his father was particularly excited.

Rodriguez also asked where to go, but his father said he would know when he got there.

After they arrived at the hotel, they took the elevator straight upstairs and soon came to a suite.

In the living room of the suite, many staff members were sorting out various materials, sending and receiving documents, and it can be seen that they were very busy.

When a staff member saw Rodriguez and his son, he immediately came over and said, "Mr. Zoranci is in the room!"

Hearing this, Rodriguez was shocked.

Zoranci is a name that every player knows. He is a European agent and the agent of players such as Suker, Modric, and Di Maria.

His company has recruited many stars, and his network of relationships is spread across large and small clubs in Europe.

He is also a guest of honor for the giants.

Rodriguez turned his head and looked at his father, who also sighed, "I thought there would be a club to contact us, but I didn't expect that Mr. Zoranci would come to contact us first, and he contacted us in person. I hope to meet you and let you know the value here!"

An agent of Zolanci's level will only be responsible for a few heavyweight players internally, while the rest of his players are managed by agents from subordinate departments.

Although he is a player named by Zolanci, the specific operations are carried out through the agency.

There are even some players who have never even met Zoranci.

Therefore, the gold content of Zolanci's personal contact is that Rodriguez is particularly optimistic.

After entering the room, the father and son saw Zolanqi.

Wearing casual clothes and glasses, he rolled up his sleeves and was working with his head down.

This image is not what a top agent should look like.

At least in Rodriguez's imagination, a top agent should be in a suit and tie, holding a glass of red wine, looking like a gentle gentleman.

Zolanqi was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them. He quickly put the plate down, but he couldn't bear to part with the pieces of meat. He stuffed the fork directly into his mouth and swallowed it whole.

Then he stood up awkwardly and said, "I thought you wouldn't come until tomorrow!"

Rodriguez's father quickly said: "I think some things should be decided as soon as possible!"

Zolanqi smiled and nodded: "I like this efficiency."

After that, he looked at Rodriguez and said, "Your father should have told you, right?"

Rodriguez shook his head, he didn't know anything.

Zolanci grinned and could only explain: "That's it, we want to sign your agency contract in Europe!"

"You want to sign me?" Rodriguez was a little surprised.

He turned to look at his father, who was actually his agent.

I saw my father waving his hands and saying, "Leave professional matters to professionals. I can help you share some of the pressure in Ligue 1, but I'm really not suitable to deal with those people. In fact, in Monaco, I couldn't get the most for you." conditions.”

Rodriguez turned to look at Zoranci this time and said, "Can you elaborate?"

"Of course, I'm ready!"

Zolanci invited the father and son to sit down and then pulled out a pile of data from the file.

"These are your performance data during the World Cup. After verification by the team, they think you still have a lot of room for performance."

He took out some more documents and said:

"These are the clubs interested in you!"

The father and son looked over and saw that in addition to those they had already come into contact with, there were also some that they had not yet come into contact with.

In other words, these teams are interested in Rodriguez, but have not yet had time to contact him.

None of them knew it, but Zolanqi had already gotten the news.

This is the news network for top brokers.

"First of all, let's talk about your treatment!"

Rodriguez sat upright and listened carefully. The latter continued: "The contract of our agency is divided into four levels, divided by ABCD. Now you can get a C-level contract!"

Rodriguez frowned; "Is it just C-level?"

He felt that his performance was already good.

If A level is not enough, it should be B level, right?

In this regard, Zolanqi explained with a smile: "You will know after I explain it to you."

"Our D-level contracts are the most ordinary. The distribution rate is not high, but resources are guaranteed. Apart from this, there are almost no other support policies. However, these types of players are the most ordinary, whether in terms of potential or other aspects. "

"On this basis, the C-level contract is supported by an exclusive agent, development analysis team, and technical analysis team. This is also one of our upper-middle-class contracts and is most suitable for young people."

"We currently only have four B-level contracts, Modric, Srna, Mandzukic and Di Maria! This contract needs to meet the Golden Globe Award, World Cup, Champions League or World Footballer honors to be awarded! "

Zolanci smiled and said: "The above is our contract allocation, so the C-level contract is the most suitable for you. Of course, we will also make appropriate adjustments based on the potential on this basis."

"That's not right!" Rodriguez said; "There are even A-levels!"

Zolanci took out his cigarette and asked, "Do you mind if I smoke one?"

Both of them shook their heads, indicating that they didn't mind.

Zolanqi lit up his cigarette and took a puff, and said slowly: "There is only one A-level contract, but this condition is too harsh. So far, we only have one A-level customer!"

"Suk?" Rodriguez asked.

Zolanqi nodded: "Yes!"

Rodriguez couldn't help grinning. Speaking of which, Class C was indeed pretty good.

Class B is already the ceiling.

So far, no one will give him a ceiling-level contract, and it is even more impossible for a company with a European giant.

If he wants Zolanqi's resources, he must make certain sacrifices.

Besides, things like contracts can be adjusted in the future.

"I would like to ask what you think of my development prospects."

After hearing this, Zolanqi started to talk, analyzed from multiple angles, and gave many types of suggestions.

And these are all things he can do!

These alone made Rodriguez a little excited.

But he still held back and continued to ask: "Are there any better possibilities?"

"For example?" Zolanqi raised his eyebrows.

Rodriguez pursed his lips; "For example. Real Madrid!"

The father suddenly turned his head and looked over in shock.

He didn't expect his son's ambition to be so big. He was going to reach the sky in one step!

Zoranqi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing: "I like your personality. Football should be about taking challenges!"

"Although there is no contract, I am still willing to tell you some news. Real Madrid's head coach Ancelotti is indeed paying attention to you, but he is still paying attention and has not taken any action yet. If your performance is better, he may come to see you in person!"

"Of course, if you really want, I can help you contact Real Madrid, but in this way, the treatment and other conditions will be greatly reduced, so I don't recommend you to do this."

"You are performing well now. Colombia has reached the knockout stage. You Every time you score a goal, your bargaining chips will increase exponentially. "

"I can tell you clearly that if you contact Real Madrid through me now, you can only enter the first team through the second team, but it takes time to prove yourself."

"But now is the World Cup, and your performance and condition are very good, so I hope you can continue to maintain it, don't take the initiative to contact these clubs too early, but wait for them to come to you."

Rodriguez pursed his lips and said: "I don't know what this standard is!"

Zoranqi smiled and raised two fingers; "Score two more goals, I promise to help you get a place in the first team!"
