Almighty Coach

Chris Payton met Li Dai, and also met Halle Frost.

"This kid is what you call the ball king?" Payton asked with a frown.

"Accurately speaking, it is the future king." Li Dai replied with a smile.

"Okay, you say it is." Payton showed a helpless face, Quan Dang was joking, and then he continued: "Are you going to give him training for me?"

"Yes, you are responsible for most of his training, but more importantly, you want to be his guardian. The child is Argentine, he is not yet a teenager, so he needs a guardian in the United States." Li Dai said .

"Are you letting me be his guardian?" Payton immediately cast a reluctant expression.

Li Dai nodded: "And you have to take care of his daily life!"

"Boss, don't joke, my apartment is very small, I live already very crowded, but can not live a second person." Payton shook his head and said.

"Your rent for the next year, I will cover it all." Li Dai said without hesitation.

"But I don't know how to cook. I usually rely on takeout ..." Payton continued.

"Well, I will pay you an additional year's food." Li Dai said helplessly.

"And, I ..." Payton just wanted to find a reason, but Li Dai interrupted Payton.

"The new Porsche 911 I bought, I lent you to drive for a year, so is the head office?" Li Dai said.

"Deal!" Payton apparently coveted Li Daixin's new sports car for a long time. When he heard that Li Dai was willing to lend him the car for a year, Payton agreed without hesitation.

"Boss, I have one last question. There are so many coaches in our training center. Many of them are married and have children. They may know how to take care of children better than me, but why did you choose me? To be honest, Bachelors like me, taking care of yourself is a problem, where can I take care of children. "Payton asked.

"Does anyone other than you speak Spanish?" Li Dai asked, and then he continued: "I want to take care of this little ball king, but I am not an American. It takes more trouble to be a guardian of others. The important thing is that I do n’t speak Spanish. I do n’t understand what he says. He probably does n’t understand what I say. Should we let us communicate with gestures? "

The Payton family is a famous gangster in Los Angeles. Because California is close to Mexico, many gangsters in California are related to Mexicans. Some gang members are even mainly Mexicans. .

A large part of the Payton family's business is dealing with Mexican drug dealers. There are also many Mexican Americans or illegal immigrants in Mexico. The Payton family grew up in such an environment and naturally learned to speak Spanish. .

Mexico, like Argentina, speaks Spanish, so the communication between Payton and the football genius Halls is unimpeded. However, Li Dai does not understand Spanish, and basically cannot communicate with Howers. Holls is only 13 years old this year. He grew up in Argentina, so he can only speak simple English words and sentences, far from being able to communicate in English.

……

After telling the story of Howers, Li Dai called the lawyer again and asked the lawyer to draft the contract and then brought the contract to the training center.

The 3% revenue share in the next two decades can only be regarded as a satisfactory transaction for Li Dai.

Judging from the current market price, the sum of all the revenues of the football king can make about 100 million euros a year. The level is slightly weaker than the king of the ball, and can also make 20 to 30 million euros a year.

If calculated on the basis of 50 million income a year, 3% is equivalent to 1.5 million euros. Considering that in the future, the money is taken in vain, so it is a very considerable income.

But after all, Howls is only thirteen years old. He will have the opportunity to be on the professional football stage as soon as four or five years later. When he becomes famous, he is estimated to have another three or four years. It may be 10 years before Halls starts to make big money.

If this is the case, Howls can make money for Li Dai for only ten years, 1.5 million euros a year and 15 million euros in ten years. This is Li Dai's income. What Li Dai paid may be just one or two athlete patches and a complete training plan. This is obviously a very cost-effective investment.

……

Old Frost left the United States and returned to Argentina, and Halls quickly adapted to American life.

Today, in addition to training, Howers also has to take English courses. After all, Howers has to train in the United States for a long time, so he must learn to speak English.

In a flash, Howers spent two weeks in the United States.

Halls has been practicing high jumps on the training ground. This kind of exercise helps him grow taller.

Not far away, Li Dai looked at Howers, but frowned. He could see that today ’s Howers, in terms of physical fitness and training concentration, did not perform very well. Made a big difference.

"What's wrong with this kid today?" Li Dai waved and called a coach under his own, and asked, "Has the training of Halls been like this in recent days?"

The coach turned his head to look at Howers. He didn't seem to find any difference in Howers, so he replied: "This is the case in the last two days. Hey, boss, is there anything wrong? "

"There is something wrong, go and help me find Coach Payton." Li Dai commanded.

A few minutes later, Chris Payton came here.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Payton asked.

"Halls training seems to be a little absent. He is not focused enough. He is completely absent-minded in completing the training program. Has he had any strange performances recently? For example, homesick? Or missing loved ones? Or can't adapt to American living habits ? "Li Dai asked.

"No? Howls did not show homesickness. Obviously, the American life is much better than Argentina, and he is very happy in recent days." Payton replied without hesitation.

"Very happy?" Li Dai's expression became more and more puzzled.

"Yeah, he made a new friend." Payton answered.

"With his English level, this is not easy." Li Dai said casually.

"His new friends are Mexicans and they speak Spanish." Peyton continued: "Actually Mexican immigrants. Do n’t worry. I know the family. They are not illegal immigrants. They are all legal immigrants, and they are not involved in gangs. The family has a job. The male owner of that family is a professional gardener who specializes in helping rich people trim plants in the garden. Maybe you have patronized him too! "

"What else is there?" Li Dai then asked.

"The child in that family is called Sandia, and should be about the same size as Halls, or bigger than it. He also likes playing football." Payton seemed to be worried that Li Dai would be wrong, so he added Tao: "I'm talking about soccer."

"I understand, then what?" Li Dai continued to ask.

"Halls goes to play Sandia every day. It is said that there are several other friends, including Mexicans and Colombians, but there are not many Americans ... you know, we Americans are not very good I pay attention to this sport. But Howls is very happy. I can see that he really likes playing football. I think every night, playing football with my friends should be the happiest time of the day. Come on! "Payton said.

"You mean he goes to play every day? In general, how long will it take?" Li Dai asked immediately.

Peyton thought about it and replied: "It's hard to say, it usually takes more than two hours, and sometimes it will take three or four hours to come back. But you can rest assured that the community where I live is still very good. Yes, and those gang members dare not come to trouble me! "

"It seems I have found the reason." Li Dai let out a breath, he couldn't help thinking of his experience of secretly running to an Internet cafe after school to play games after school. At that time, he was playing games all over his head, and he was absent during class, and his academic performance also declined.

This is the case with Howers now, except that playing games becomes kicking, and this also affects Howers training during the day.

Li Dai said in a reproachful tone: "Chris, you should be able to notice that he goes to play for two or three hours every night, which consumes too much physical energy of Halls, which also affects his daytime Training, he was obviously a little absent-minded. I think he is thinking all over his head now, how to play the ball at night! "

"I have told him that going out to play every night will affect his training during the day, he should be enough." Payton shrugged and said innocently: "But he obviously did not care."

"Thirteen years old is just a playful age. He can't control himself. You are his guardian. You should ask him to go home early in the evening and go to bed early." Li Dai said.

"Why?" Instead, Payton was puzzled, and he continued: "I have made it clear to him, he should also know the consequences, but how to choose next, how to decide, that is his Things, although I am his guardian in the United States, but when it comes to things, I should not choose for him. As for the consequences, people should bear the consequences for their choices, right? "

Li Dayton was a little speechless at the same time, he also realized that there is a difference between China and the United States in the education of children.

Compared with "Chinese education", "American education" is more like a stocking model. Parents in the United States will not interfere too much with their children. They want to cultivate their children's independent ability so that children can think independently. Make judgments about things. Domestic parents have given their children more "restrictions", such as not being playful, not allowed to watch TV, not allowed to play games, not allowed to eat snacks, not allowed to fall in love early, and various tutoring classes on holidays.

It is precisely because of this different educational concept that Li Dai believes that Payton should clearly prevent Howers from spending time on playing football, and Payton feels that he has already made it clear to Howers and has done his best. Do their best.

If the children grew up in the United States and have received American education since childhood, they may already know how to think and judge, knowing that they should not waste too much energy on playing football, but should focus on the daytime training. among.

However, Halls grew up in Argentina. He obviously has not received the American education and culture, nor does he possess the independent thinking and judgment ability of American children.

Although the penetration rate of education in Argentina is high, the quality of education is not high. Argentina has degenerated from a developed country to a developing country. All aspects of the country are filled with the "window breaking effect", which is basically a situation of breaking pots and falling. This is especially true in education. Although South America has the highest enrollment rate, the quality of education is very worrying. Private schools with expensive fees are better. Public schools are basically a state of grazing.

So compared to American peers, in addition to playing better, Halls is far worse in every aspect. Putting Halls in a relatively free environment like the United States makes it difficult for Halls to control himself.

This is like when some people go to high school, their academic performance is among the best, but when they go to university, they often hang out. Apart from insufficient personal efforts, not knowing how to learn by themselves is also one aspect. In high school era, I received a duck-filling education from teachers. In university, I often need to study by myself. A person who is used to feeding others to his mouth, even if he is given a spoon, he may not know how to use it.

"It seems that I should talk to Howles in person." Li Dai thought of this and called Howles to his side. Of course, he did not let Payton leave. After all, Li Dai did not speak Spanish, and Hower Si didn't learn a few English words, so he still needs Peyton.

……

"Halls, I know you will go to your friends to play football every night, but I think this will affect your state during the daytime training." Li Dai said in a very serious tone.

Payton translated these words to Halls. Hallston lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake, and apologized: "Sorry, coach."

Although Halls is not old, he also knows who is the "boss" of this training center.

"Halls ~ www.readwn.com ~ You can't play football every night, you have to put more energy into training during the day." Li Dai continued.

After Payton's translation, Howers did not answer.

Li Dai then persuaded: "I'm not trying to stop you from playing football, I hope you can have a temperance, such as playing once a week. You have to understand that your primary task now is training, nothing can affect you now. Training. "

After listening to Payton's translation, Halls remained silent, but his fists clenched tightly.

Li Dai observed this, and he suddenly felt that his words were too heavy. So Li Dai went on to say: "Halls, you have to understand that you are training hard today so that you can play better in the future. If you do not train seriously today, then you cannot grow taller or become a professional. Players. "

Payton translated again, and Howers still didn't answer, but from Howers' eyes, Li Dai saw a kind of unwilling emotion, which was unwilling to rebuke Li Dai.

Li Dai could clearly feel that he did not persuade Halls. His concept of "Chinese education" is obviously not feasible in Howes.

"Thirteen or four years old, adolescence, is also a period of rebellion, dealing with children of this age, it is really troublesome!" Li Dai felt a feeling of powerlessness.
