However, the moment Wang Chu signed with Leicester City, several system notifications sounded in Lin Dong’s mind.
《Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your player Wang Chu has successfully signed with Leicester City, completing the achievement "The Beginning of Everything!" Reward: New Skill "Investigative Eye."》
《Investigative Eye: Can be used three times daily. Allows you to see the target's potential in football.》
《Ding!! Congratulations, Host! You have triggered a mission: "Emerging Talent!" Wang Chu scores or assists in his debut match! Upon completion, you will be rewarded with 3 Attribute Upgrade chances.》
However, Lin Dong had no time to check the system content at this moment because Leicester City’s youth team coach was excitedly pulling Wang Chu and Lin Dong to sign the contract.
As an agent, Lin Dong should strive for a competitive contract for his star player, Wang Chu.
However, Wang Chu was still young, and salary was not the primary consideration.
He needed time and opportunities to hone his skills and improve his abilities.
In addition to training, Wang Chu needed to invest extra time learning English.
As a foreign player, Lin Dong knew the importance of communication, and language was key to integrating into the team.
Take Real Madrid's Bale for example, he is a great player, but because of the language barrier, he often faced misunderstanding and abuse from fans.
In his 6-7 years at Real Madrid, Bale never learned Spanish. This caused him to be unable to effectively communicate with fans and audiences at some public events.
Even if he was at his peak, he couldn't withstand the troubles caused by the language barrier.
In this situation, Bale chose to communicate with everyone in English, which led to dissatisfaction and booing from Spanish fans.
Wang Chu also realized this problem, especially in the just-concluded training match, Wang Chu did not integrate into the team. Even when his position was good, his teammates would not choose to pass to him.
Lin Dong found a Chinese female college student studying in England to be Wang Chu’s English teacher, and Wang Chu began his English learning journey.
This female college student was willing to help Wang Chu. Teaching him English was also a way to earn some living expenses.
Moreover, the fees were not expensive, all thanks to Lin Dong’s personal involvement.
Now, as his agent career was in its early stages, he had to handle many things personally.
As an agent, the responsibilities extend beyond just securing favorable conditions. He needs to know how to package and promote players, how to handle various legal and tax issues.
Even some players in certain countries have issues with nationality, but this is not a concern in China.
Because China implements a single nationality system, the players’ nationality issue does not need to be considered much.
However, there are numerous tasks an agent needs to handle. This was precisely the reason why Lin Dong planned to establish an agency.
He looked forward to the day when his agency could have many players under its wing.
However, achieving this goal would require more than one person. In the future, as his business expands, he would definitely need to hire people.
Lin Dong's plan was to establish two regions, one in China and the other in Europe.
However, choosing agents is not a casual decision. For example, in China, one must have a sports agent qualification certificate.
As far as Lin Dong knew, those working in relevant institutions such as the Football Association and clubs were unable to obtain this qualification.
He needed to find those who truly loved football and had professional qualities to join his team.
It’s worth mentioning that all of this needs to be registered with the industrial and commercial institutions, obtain a business license, and then apply to the Football Association to participate in the Football Agent qualification examination.
These are all future matters, as Lin Dong is currently in the early stages and cannot afford the related expenses.
For now, he is more focused on Wang Chu.
After Wang Chu signed with Leicester City, Lin Dong finally had time to check the rewards given by the system.
《Name: Lin Dong》
《Occupation: Football Agent》
《Ability Value: 66》
《Players Under Management: Wang Chu》
《Warehouse: Attribute Upgrade Chance: 1, Wang Chu Exclusive Attribute Upgrade Chance: 3, Wang Chu Exclusive Random Attribute: 1》
《Attributes: Beginner Judging, Beginner Negotiation, Beginner Affinity》
《Beginner Judging: Can roughly determine if a player has talent!》
《Beginner Negotiation: Has negotiation skills. Has some stuff, but not much!》
《Beginner Affinity: Easy to gain the favor of others!》
《Investigative Eye: Can be used three times daily. Allows you to see the target's potential in football.》
This trip to Leicester City yielded a lot for Lin Dong. Not only did he get 3 Wang Chu exclusive Attribute Upgrade chances, 1 Wang Chu exclusive random attribute, but he also gained 1 ordinary Attribute Upgrade chance and the new skill "Investigative Eye."
Let's not even talk about the Attribute Upgrade chances.
The most useful reward here for Lin Dong was likely the new skill.
With the "Investigative Eye," Lin Dong could know a player's potential before signing them.
This would ensure that everyone Lin Dong signed had enough potential.
It's worth noting that the last match of Wang Chu’s trial was watched by Leicester City’s head coach Nigel Pearson and football director Jon Rudkin from the stands.
They were quite impressed by Wang Chu’s excellent pass, wanting to see how Wang Chu would perform in the first team.
So, Wang Chu, who was originally supposed to be placed in the youth team, was directly promoted to the first team.
However, this made Lin Dong a bit worried. He had wanted Wang Chu to train well in Leicester City’s youth team.
After all, with Wang Chu’s current talent, as long as he was given enough time, he would definitely be able to grow into a superstar.
However, being suddenly promoted to the first team caught Lin Dong off guard.
With Wang Chu’s current abilities, even if he could get some playing time in Leicester City's first team, there would definitely not be many opportunities.
After all, the Championship was not like the U19 matches.
With Wang Chu’s current physique, even with his top-tier passing skills, he wouldn’t be able to exert much influence in the Championship matches.
Opponents would not give Wang Chu comfortable passing opportunities and space.
“System, use the Wang Chu exclusive random attribute on Wang Chu!"
Lin Dong did not hesitate at all. After all, Wang Chu needed to become stronger to secure a place in the first team.
Besides, these exclusive rewards couldn't be used by others, so it's better to use them all on Wang Chu!
The stronger he is, the better he can fight for a starting position.
《Ding! Wang Chu's Exclusive Random Attribute is being used, please wait!》
《Ding! Wang Chu's Exclusive Random Attribute usage successful! Wang Chu has obtained the attribute "Mediocre Strength."》
《Mediocre Strength:............》
