In fact, the negotiation with Evra's parents was not easy, and in two days, Xiao Yu almost exhausted his lips.

Ever since Patrice Evra graduated from the football school at Saint-Holmes in Paris, his father wanted him to find a job with peace of mind, earn some money to marry a wife, and stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer.

Evra's own original intention seemed to be the same, but Xiao Yu's appearance completely overturned everything.

A weekly salary of £200 is quite good for a working family, and the most rare thing is that Xiao Yu also added a 25% annual increase clause in this contract, as well as a promotion bonus.

In addition, just like the boss poaching employees, Xiao Yu promised to help take care of Evra, provide him with accommodation, food and daily chores, and promised to provide two round-trip air tickets between Manchester and Paris every six months, so that Evra's parents could go to Manchester to see their son at any time.

In the face of such temptation, Evra's parents had to be tempted no matter how stubborn they were, after all, Evra's love for football could be seen even by the blind.

"Patrice, what do you think?" Evra Sr. asked.

Evra's originally lowered head suddenly raised, stared at his most respected father, and said word by word, "I can be a professional footballer!" The tone was full of confidence and determination.

It was precisely because of his words that the old Evra did not entangle with Xiao Yu more, but for the sake of reassurance, he decided to go to Manchester with Evra, at least to see the situation there.

Xiao Yu booked two tickets to Manchester for the father and son on the third day, and asked Walsh to print out the full-time contract there and take care of all the relevant matters.

Although the new Manchester United even have a training base on loan, Xiao Yu is not worried about Evra's residence at all.

In fact, as soon as Walsh suggested that a new signing from the club wanted to find a place to live, a number of fans near Newton Heath immediately offered to invite him, and even a fight broke out over it.

It is also a tradition of European clubs, where youth players from abroad choose to live in the homes of local fans, so that they can get used to it more easily in terms of language and habits, and at the same time instill in these players the tradition and loyalty to the team.

For example, in later generations, China's Dong Fangzhuo transferred to Manchester United to live in the fans' homes.

Although the new Manchester United has just been established, the stadium and training ground are very bad, but there is really such a club, and after the old Evra consulted with relevant experts, the legal effect of the contract was confirmed, and the old Evra was relieved to keep his son in Manchester.

…………

…………

When Walsh called Xiao Yu to inform him of the news of Evra, the latter couldn't help but shout "yes" excitedly, making the female front desk staff of the Argentine Acindar Metallurgical Group standing in front of him think that she had met a deranged person.

"How? Did you find it? Xiao Yu was not embarrassed by his move just now, because he knew very well what getting Patrice Evra would mean for the new Manchester United.

"Found it, Jorge Messi, but he's gone!" The female staff at the front desk said politely.

In the computer is not widely used now, to find a grassroots department head in a large company, it is undoubtedly a time-consuming and energy-consuming thing, fortunately, the female staff in front of him is still quite durable, and the scale of this company is not small, the front desk lady also understands English.

At this time, Xiao Yu discovered that it was necessary for Chinese universities to strictly require English in later generations!

"Left? When was this? Xiao Yu asked nervously, but according to some reports about Messi that he had read later, he knew that his father had served as a department head in this company, so he chased here.

Originally, he had another option, which was to chase Newell's old boy directly and ask for the address of Messi's house directly, but he would definitely be kicked out, and even beaten up.

"Two months ago."

Xiao Yu nodded, "Then there must be his phone number in these materials of yours, can you copy one to me?" ”

"This is our company's employee file, and it cannot be ......"

The young front desk lady was about to refuse ruthlessly, but Xiao Yu immediately interrupted her.

"Please, I've been looking for him for a long time, I'm his distant relative, really!" Xiao Yu lied without blushing at all.

The front desk lady stared at Xiao Yu carefully for a while, and she didn't know if it was because she thought the Oriental man in front of her was handsome, or because he spoke very sincerely, she finally nodded, "Okay!" ”

After getting Jorge's phone, Xiao Yu kept thanking the front desk lady and turned to leave.

Walking on the streets of Rosario, Xiao Yu immediately found a public phone and called according to the phone number copied on the paper.

"Hey, hello, I'm Jorge!" The man on the other end of the phone gasped and seemed to have been in a long, long way.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Yu, representing the new Manchester United club in England, are you Leo Messi's father?"

There was a moment of astonishment on the other end of the phone, "Uh...... Yes, you just said you were ......"

"New Manchester United Club!" Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, but he answered word by word, he could even guess that when Messi's father heard this name, he must have been surprised and thought that Manchester United Club had come to the door.

"New ...... Manchester United? Jorge had apparently never heard of the name.

"Yes, we are a new club and we have something we want to talk to you about about your son, Leo Messi." Xiao Yu tried to make himself appear less aggressive.

"I'm sorry I'm going to disappoint you, my son has decided to join Newell's Old Boys, you should know." Jorge had worked in a large company after all and spoke very politely and methodically.

"Yes, I know, but I also know that you're in trouble, but Newell's old boy doesn't intend to help you too much." Xiao Yu suddenly had a very absurd feeling.

Lionel Messi, the future world superstar, is now just a boy who is seriously ill and unable to heal, and if he suddenly intervenes now and brings him back to England, what will his future hold? What does the future hold for Barcelona?

Of course, that's Barcelona's own business, Xiao Yu doesn't have the leisure to care about him now!

"You...... How do you know? Jorge was a little surprised.

"Believe me, friend, I flew from England to Argentina and I didn't have any ill will, we just fancy Leo Messi's football talent and that's it." Xiao Yu was afraid that Jorge would be wrong, so he hurriedly made a stand.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, apparently hesitating.

"I guess we'll meet and talk about some things, okay?" Xiao Yu asked sincerely again.

"Okay," Jorge nodded in agreement, "but I'm at work now, you can wait for me at the Argentinian restaurant on Irigoyen Street, I'll be there in about an hour." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Yu immediately agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu walked to the side of the road, stopped a taxi, and went straight to Yrigoyan Street.

Since the headquarters of the Acindar Group is in the center of Rosario, and Yrigoyen Avenue is in the north of Rosario, even if it is a taxi, it will take half an hour, and because the taxi driver does not know where the Argentine restaurant Jorge is talking about, he put Xiao Yu down at the intersection.

Look along Yrigoyen Street, which is fortunately not very long and easy to find.

When Xiao Yu came to the Argentinian restaurant that Jorge mentioned, he found a middle-aged man in his thirties standing at the door of the restaurant, next to him was a trolley with blood stains on it.

Why did Messi's father quit his job as a department head of a large group and came to work as a delivery man?

Xiao Yu wondered in his heart, but he still walked up.

"Hello, is this Mr. Jorge Messi?"

"Yes, you are ......" Xiao Yu's name is really difficult to pronounce, and Jorge can't pronounce it.

"Xiao Yu, I'm from New Manchester United...... Representative! Xiao Yu also hesitated, if he said that he was the boss, it might not be appropriate.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao Yu, my English ...... Not very slippery, sorry! Jorge said with some shame.

"It's okay, it's all because I don't speak Spanish, but when I go back, I must hire a teacher and learn hard!" Xiao Yu made a joke.

Jorge smiled and picked up the towel from the trolley to wipe his sweat.

It was noon, it was very hot, and he had obviously just finished his work, sweating profusely and soaking wet.

"Jorge, have you had lunch?" Xiao Yu was quite moved when he saw him like this.

Jorge Messi is definitely a great father worthy of respect, in order to treat his son, he spent almost all his savings, including his social security and mutual insurance, he later talked about this experience, once said that he and Messi went to Spain when they were desperate, it was a dead end, a dead end, a dead end.

"I didn't ...... Eaten! Jorge blurted out that he had leaked his mouth, but quickly covered it up, "I just had a casual meal at the vegetable market." ”

Xiao Yu knew what was going on, so he smiled, "It's okay, I haven't eaten yet, so let's do it, I think this restaurant is good, let's go in and try it, talk while eating, I'll have a treat!" ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Jorge agreed or not, Xiao Yu pulled him and was about to walk in.

"Wait, wait!" Jorge broke free of Xiao Yu and pointed to the trolley outside the restaurant, "I'm sorry, this trolley can't be put here, I have to change places." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you here!" Xiao Yu stood at the door with a smile.

Jorge knew he wouldn't be able to run away today, so he nodded, pushed the trolley to a corner of the restaurant, and left it somewhere safe before returning
