My system allows me to copy talents

London, England

Inside a neat and tidy spacious room at the 3rd floor of a 5 storeyed building in baker’s street, Eric was seen walking back and forth while going through somekind of documents.

Flipping page after page, he was carefully reading each page of documents from the bundle of documents he held in his hands.

Occasionally he would stop at his immaculate office table to take a sip from the cup of hot coffee placed atop his table.

His unusual action continued for a while. Just as he finished reading the final page of the document from the bundle of documents which he held in his hand, he stopped at his table and placed the documents atop the table.

Just then as he was about to sit on the chair beside the table, he heard a knocking sound from the door infront of his work table.

Knock!! Knock!!

“Yes!! Come in.” He mumbled as he sat down in his chair.

“Eric I heard that you wanted to see me?” A dark-skinned individual with a short wavy hair spoke as he opened the door.

“Yes Lucas! I’ve got something to discuss with you. Come have a seat.”

The individual with short wavy hair who walked inside his office was Lucas Silva. A 26 year old Brazilian player who played as a defensive midfielder for the English club Fulham in the EFL championship.

Lucas was slightly taller than average people with the height of 6 feet 2 inches. Weighing almost 75 kg, he had a very well toned muscular body.

Dressed in shorts and black nylon t-shirt, his neatly trimmed beard gave him a handsome manly appearance.

However his black t-shirt could hardly conceal his robust muscles underneath. As impressive as his upper body muscles were, his lower body muscles were even more amazing.

Overall Lucas Silva was a muscular, dark-skinned Brazilian with a robust body and handsome appearance.

As Lucas sat in the sofa placed infront of the table, Eric revealed a grin on his face.

“I’ve got a good news for you Lucas. Crystal Palace is showing great interest in you Lucas and they want to sign you.” While resting his hands atop the table, he looked Lucas in his eyes and told him about the interest from Crystal Palace.

“That’s some great news Eric. But what about Fulham? Have they given the green light for further discussion?” As happy as he was to get an offer from Crystal Palace, he was more concerned about the decision of his present club.

Without their approval, the transfer would have been really hard to pull off. And he couldn’t even pressure the club because of his love for the club.

Even though his contract was expiring within a year, he wanted to leave the club on positive terms. He didn’t want to leave the club in which he played for 3 seasons on bad terms.

“About that!! I’ve scheduled a meeting with the sports director of the club later in the evening. But I’ve heard from Crystal Palace that it’s been already about a week since they submitted their offer for the transfer. However they still haven’t heard anything from Fulham. But you don’t have to worry about it Lucas. I’ll figure out something and I’ll definitely pull off this transfer.”

Since his contract was nearing it’s expiration, the club had tried to extend their contract with him. However Lucas wanted to leave the club and look for new challenges.

And Eric had clearly told them about Lucas’s desire to leave the club about some months ago. And he had requested the club to put him on transfer or else he’ll have to leave for free.

However the club was reluctant to let go of one of it’s star performer. They wanted to extend Lucas’s contract and tie him with the club for another 3/4 seasons.

Ring!! Ring!! Ring!!

While he was talking to Lucas, he was interrupted by the ring on his phone.

“Give me a minute Lucas.” He intoned as he stretched his hands inside his pocket and took his smartphone out.

Despite having a telephone installed in his office, he had also provided his private number to handful of peoples to call him privately when needed.

And among those handful of peoples, one was Hiro.

“Oh it’s Hiro!” Eric exclaimed with a wide smile on his face as he noticed the number which was calling him.

“Hello! Eric speaking.”

“Hello Eric! It’s me Hiro.”

“I know it’s you. I’ve saved your number in my phone.” Eric mumbled while leaning back on his chair.

“Oh!! Are you free right now? I’ve got something to discuss with you.” Hiro asked Eric if he was busy at that moment.

“Wait a moment.” Eric replied as he lifted himself. He then casted a glance at Lucas and spoke; “Lucas! Can you wait until I hang up this call?”

Lucas simply nodded his head and agreed to his request without a bit of hesitation.

“Yeah!! I’m free. So tell me what are you going to talk about?”

“I’ve decided to join a professional youth team. But I can’t decide which club to join. So would you lend me a hand regarding that matter?” Without beating around the bush, Hiro exclaimed his desire bluntly. He wanted Eric to help him with the selection of club that would be suitable to him. ．

“Yes!! Why not? Have you picked the teams you’d like to join or do I have to pick it for you?” Eric inquired

“No, no, you don’t have to do that much Eric. I’ve already prepared a list of five clubs. So I just want you to help me to select a club among those five clubs that would fit my playstyle.” Hiro requested.

“Oh okay!! Then go on. Tell me the name of those five clubs. I’ll look into them and provide you with an answer in about 2 hours.”

As Eric agreed to his request, Hiro opened his drawer and pulled out the list he had prepared the previous night.

“Now I’m going to tell the names Eric.” He mumbled while staring at the list.

“Give me a second, I’ll note it down.” Eric took out a blank sheet of paper and a pen from his drawer.

“Okay go on.” He mumbled as he leaned closer to the table and prepared to write.

“Yokohama F Marinos, Kawasaki Frontale, Kashima Antlers, Urawa Red Diamonds and Vissel Kobe. Did you get it all Eric or do you want me to repeat again?” Hiro inquired as he told him about the list of teams he prepared for himself.

Scirbble!! Scribble!!

“All noted. And you have even included the three teams which I personally think are the best ones for you.” Eric intoned as he let go of the pen in his hands.

“Can you look into this clubs and contact me after two hours Eric?”

“Yeah!! Just give me some moment. I’ll call you after sometime.”

“Okay then thank you for your help Eric. I’ll hang up the call now. Have a good day.” Hiro wished him well and hung up the call.

“You too have a good day Hiro.” He mumbled as he hung up the call from his side. “Ah!! It’s probably night there. Hahaha…”
