Carrying a bag and wearing the only decent suit he had, Jamie Vardy stood in front of the airport in Gelsenkirchen!
The down and out Jamie Vardy even borrowed the money for his flight from a friend.
The friend heard that FC Schalke 04 wanted Vardy to try out for them and lent him the money without saying a word.
After getting off the plane, Vardy pulled out the only money he had left and took a cab.
He didn't have the money for the trip back.
If he failed, he would have to stay on the streets.
Jamie Vardy, at this point, however, didn't think he would fail.
Even after all he had been through, he still believed he would succeed.
The cab soon arrived at the entrance of FC Schalke 04.
After getting out of the car and handing the cab driver his last bill, Jamie Vardy dialed the number on his cell phone.
Hughes!
The man Su recommended , Hughes was waiting at the club early in the morning!
After receiving the call, Hughes went to the entrance of the club first thing.
As soon as he saw someone picking himself up, Jamie Vardy rushed over!
“I'm Jamie Vardy, from England, and I'm grateful to FC Schalke 04 for giving me this opportunity!”
Turning to Hughes, Vardy hurriedly smiled and thanked him.
Regardless of the outcome, at least, FC Schalke 04 being able to give him this opportunity did make the already somewhat disheartened him regain his confidence.
“Oh! Come with me!”
At the first sight of Vardy, Hughes was a bit disappointed.
How can I put it, mediocre!!!
The guy had no features either in height or body!
What does featureless mean? It means ordinary, mediocre!
I don't know why Su recommended him so much.
“Sir, I wonder if FC Schalke 04 wanted me to come for a trial after seeing my goal in the game?”
Vardy had been in the community for many years after all.
Hughes' eyes had just told him everything.
Like those of other teams, it was the first glance that already had a direct result!
“Grace! To tell you the truth!”
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
“The scouts of FC Schalke 04 won't pay attention to an English 8th division player!”
“You were recommended by Su!”
Su?
Vardy was a bit puzzled.
He knew who Schalke's Su was.
Su has been all over Europe now.
He had watched that explosive goal no less than dozens of times.
Moreover, Su's kind of passing was what he really wanted the most.
If he could really make it to FC Schalke 04, perhaps, his dream of being a goal scorer ....
Only, why does Su know him?
Soon after, Vardy was led to the training ground by Hughes.
The coaching staff appeared to be ready on the practice field.
The suits were removed and neatly folded and placed in their bags.
Vardy slipped on his already somewhat worn sneakers.
From the 100 meters to the toss, followed by a run with the ball, followed by a set piece shot!
Vardy puts all of his characteristics on display for FC Schalke 04.
Just as he imagined.
From start to finish, not a single expression fluctuated on Hughes' face!
It was terrifyingly calm.
Vardy had seen this expression countless times.
Starting from the youth team, all the tryouts had this expression.
Perhaps, soon, he would get that familiar result.
“I'm sorry! You're not suitable for our team!”
Vardy, who had finished the basic tryouts, apprehensively walked up to Hughes.
He was waiting for that answer he had heard countless times.
“Grace! Very usual!”
“Pretty much what Su said!”
“Wait let's sign a contract first, FC Schalke 04 is keeping you, but only at the lowest level, of course it's quite a bit higher than your current thirty pound a week contract!”
Hughes' words made Vardy's already disappointed heart go wild once more!
“Thank you, sir! Thank you!”
“Thank you FC Schalke 04 for giving me a chance!”
“I'll definitely prove myself!”
Looking at the grateful Vardy.
Hughes also smiled and patted his shoulder, leading him to sign!
Although this guy looked mediocre, I don't know why Su that kid would be so sure.
Magath also delivered.
As long as Su said this guy wasn't too weak, he would just sign it.
The results of the tryout were okay.
Signing a lower level contract shouldn't be a problem.
The exact same contract as Su.
The liquidated damages are still half a million dollars.
Hughes originally wanted to change it, but the staff told him that if the liquidated damages were changed, his weekly salary would have to go up as well, so he would have to ask the manager!
Looking at Vardy on the side, Hughes also gave up this idea.
It is not certain whether he can play or not, if he alarms that miserly man, he may directly let Vardy go.
The current weekly salary was enough for him to live on.
Besides, how could there be a second super talent like Su with half a million dollars in default?
That's it.
The future Leicester City superstar began his life at FC Schalke 04.
Lived in the team's dormitory.
Started training against the cold wind.
.........
The next day.
Inside Magath's office.
Hughes also reported all about Vardy's tryout and signing process.
Hearing that Vardy was given the same contract as Su.
Magath's eyelids fell and jumped a little.
It wouldn't be that pitiful situation again, right?
However, soon Magath's heart settled down.
Su was a genius.
How could that kind of genius-like scenario repeat itself, he, Magath, wasn't that unlucky.
Thinking of this, Magath also flipped through the scouting report to prepare for new reinforcements.
“Right, Gaffer, Boujellab's agent over there said that if Boujellab is not in the program for the second half of the season, he wants to seek a transfer!”
Hughes also suddenly remembered Boujellab's side and reminded Magath!
Boujellab?
Oh yeah!
This guy seems to have returned from injury!
How could I have forgotten about him.
What can I say?
He's still useful, at least as a substitute.
After all, he was the centerpiece of FC Schalke 04.
“Of course, he's the core of FC Schalke 04, tell the agent that he's in my plans!”
“Don't think about the transfer!”
After getting Magath's reply, Hughes also turned around and left the office.
On Magath's desk, a list appeared.
There were those who left and those who joined.
The real test would come after the winter break.
There was no telling, just how far FC Schalke 04 would go this year.
But, at the very least, Su is still healthy, and Magath is still in a good position to make a run at that coveted UCL!
