Chapter 303 - Mourinho and Mendes
The blue team Chelsea in the Premier League has many titles. As one of the most successful teams in England, Chelsea's rise is not unrelated to the addition of large sums of capital.
The former chairman Bates has a violent and arrogant personality, and his attitude of being the one to criticize makes him a unique and shameless representative of England. However, many Chelsea fans are willing to follow him because of his love for Chelsea, but loving the club cannot solve everything. He handed over the team to the current chairman Abramovich.
As a Russian oligarch, Abramovich has countless money in his hands. At least he gave the European football impression that the money in his hands is like a water pipe, and there is no need to worry about whether the source will dry up.Abramovich completely disrupted England and even European football after he took office. He spent a lot of money to sign up and bought players one after another. It can be said that the culprit of European transfers entering the golden dollar era is this Russian. .
Ferguson has cursed "Russians don't understand football" more than once, but no matter how the outside world judges, Abramovich has brought Chelsea from an ordinary team to the ranks of England's giants, and he has made the most correct decision.
Signed Jose Mourinho as team manager.
In the three seasons from 2004 to 07, Mourinho led Chelsea to the reputation of "Iron Blood Blue Army". In its heyday, Chelsea swept across England. No one was their opponent. They brought Chelsea 3 in 2 years. With 1 Premier League title, 1 FA Cup title, 1 League Cup title and [-] Community Shield title, Mourinho made Chelsea brilliant!
The trigger for Mourinho to leave Chelsea was the team's internal problems, coupled with the decline in the record, he finally chose to leave Stamford Bridge to join Real Madrid, but whether it was interviews or media interviews, Mourinho never said a word The disadvantage of Chelsea is that the madman obviously misses there and the fans there very much. Even though his dismissal does not seem to be an honor, Mourinho is still willing to send the best wishes to Chelsea.
Now Chelsea are invited to the Bernabeu for a friendly match. This competition, which the media calls "who favors Mourinho more, the former or the current", is enough to attract attention without too much publicity.
"Now I really think that Mr. Chairman really doesn't like me." In his office, Mourinho uttered a rare complaint after throwing away the tactical board.
Kalanka, who was sorting out the information on the side, also knew what Mourinho meant. After all, Real Madrid's friendly matches used to be with some mid-lower teams to find their feelings and status, but now it's either Chelsea or Arsenal, or the new UEFA Champions League champion Bayern Munich does not seem to be an easy master to deal with.
But Karanka still smiled and said, "Sir, I think Mr. Chairman also has his own ideas. After all, the teams we went to look for last time were all rejected."
Mourinho curled his lips and did not speak.
The clubs that were willing to play against Real Madrid even happily before politely rejected Real Madrid's request this time. In the past, even though their own team was no match for Real Madrid, they still had some expectations, and they could rely on Real Madrid earn some ticket money and media attention, why not do it?But now Real Madrid is completely dominant in La Liga, not to mention their own. Even those giants come to cut one or two to cut a pair. The bloody 7:0 is still vivid. They don’t think they are better than La Liga. The team, then why bother to humiliate themselves?
It is clear that Real Madrid is a master who takes advantage of your illness to kill you, even if the score is double, they will not be soft, but the friendly match turned into a friendly match, which directly destroyed the self-confidence of their young main players.
Real Madrid is better to go to others, don't come to me.
So after the Real Madrid friendly match was frustrated again and again, Florentino remembered that he had a contract with Chelsea before.At that time, there was an unwritten agreement between the two sides to hold a friendly match, but after all, it was not written in black and white on paper, and they were forgotten afterwards. However, when they couldn't make an appointment this season, Real Madrid thought of this England player again. Friends, of course I won't let you go.
From Chelsea's point of view, their business philosophy is different. The club is not only a club, but also a commodity. Naturally, Abramovich will not give up this opportunity to improve the club's popularity through the match against Real Madrid. It was sold on Chelsea's official website the day after it was finalized, and the efficiency can be described as surprisingly fast.
Mourinho had stayed at Chelsea for three seasons, and he understood the club's business philosophy very well. He snorted softly: "They can do whatever they want, as long as they don't come to poach my players."
Kalanka coughed slightly after hearing this, and then said something in a low voice. Mourinho raised his eyebrows slightly, then threw the tactical board on the table again, and strode away under Kalanka's helpless gaze .
Alas, a kettle, a tactical board, does the coach have a private connection with their sponsor?The frequency of this consumption is too fast.
Mourinho quickly went to an office on the second floor. After opening it, he said, "I tell you, Jorge, if you dare to poach Ozil away, I will..."
"My dear Jose, I promised you about Ozil. It is impossible to dig people out of your hands." Mendes coughed lightly and stood up. He went forward and tried his best to meet Mourinho. From the beginning to the end, he looked at him with a good-tempered smile and said, "I came to you this time to discuss with you about the friendly match and about Thomas."
"If you dare to help that old man Ferguson dig me out, I'll take you to Manchester." Mourinho still didn't calm down.
Mendes was a little surprised. In fact, Manchester United contacted him more than once, hoping to have the opportunity to contact Clemens, but out of consideration for Clemens and his own personal safety, Mendes never took this opportunity. Anyone who has told this matter, it is from him that the asking price is blocked.Seeing what Mourinho said at this moment, Mendes naturally and quickly expressed his loyalty: "Jose, don't worry, unless the salary of the Real Madrid Club in the future does not meet my expectations, anything else related to Clement I can assure you that the rumors about the transfer of Sidney are all nonsense and that he will definitely belong to the Bernabeu."
Mourinho looked a little better after getting the guarantee from Mendes, but he still didn’t give Mendes any good looks. According to experience, this guy is aggressive, and the result of his good temper is that Mendes quickly Sign him some strange commercial contracts, and Mourinho will never give him this opportunity.
Mendes is also used to Mourinho's attitude, just sat down with him with a smile.
Only then did Mourinho see that there was another person in the room who had been silent.
"Sir." Clemens, who had just finished training, nodded politely to Mourinho.
Different from his attitude towards Mendes, Mourinho has always liked this very obedient and excellent young man. He smiled at Clemens, but his eyes were still staring at Mendes, as if Wait for what he has to say next.
Mendes coughed lightly and said with a smile on his face: "This incident is a bit urgent, so I found you at noon. I hope it didn't disturb your training." Before Mourinho spoke sarcastically, Mendes opened the folder in front of him, "The Real Madrid club has some negotiations with me, these are about you, in the next season you may become representatives of Real Madrid and be selected on the cover of FIFA games, of course Real Madrid The club is also negotiating business cooperation with game manufacturers, but I don’t think it can be won for the time being, but I am very optimistic about your individual endorsement, this time I just need to discuss the details of the contract with you.”
Mourinho did not look at the contract. This was a tacit understanding between him and Mendes. Even though Mourinho had more than one verbal or even physical blow, Mourinho gave Mendes 100% trust in his work: "If it's just two contracts, I don't think you will find me specifically."
Mendes coughed lightly and pushed the share that belonged to Clemens to him, while Mendes himself turned to the Portuguese coach: "Yes, there is another point about you, Jose, Real Madrid hope that you can refuse any media interviews before and after the game, including signing Chelsea jerseys, which will not be written in the contract, but I think it will be good for you."
Mourinho fell silent, just looked at Mendes.
Mendes knew that this was a sign of Mourinho's disapproval, which made the agent a little helpless: "Whether it is for the club's consideration or for your own consideration, dear Jose, I think you have to give Real Madrid some signs, That is your absolute loyalty, you know, since you left Chelsea, Abramovich has already fired many coaches, Hiddink is only a substitute now, he is still interested in you."
"I know." Mourinho did not deny this, "He has invited me many times, but it is impossible."
"In this case, you can absolutely agree to Real Madrid's request." Mendes complained to Florentino in his heart when he said this, obviously he was afraid that Mourinho would have conflicts with him in a fit of anger, and the result was to show himself As a shield... nasty guy.
Mourinho let out a sigh of relief after thinking, and said: "I can avoid mentioning the topic of Chelsea, but I will not refuse to sign the jersey."
Mendes immediately agreed, and Clemens looked on coldly and did not speak. Instead, he looked through the contract slowly, but the clauses in it also did not enter his head.
After Mourinho left, Clemens said: "Actually, you added the signature on the jersey yourself."
Mendes, who had achieved his goal, looked at Clemens with a smile, and was not surprised that his thoughts were guessed. He also admitted it openly: "Of course, I added it myself, but I really think it's a good idea. Cy does his own good by doing so."
Clemens handed the contract back to Mendes, raising his eyebrows slightly: "I thought you had a good relationship with Chelsea." After all, Mendes had arranged for many players to go to Chelsea. Real Madrid took to Stamford Bridge, no matter how you look at Mendes, he doesn't look like someone who would dig holes for Chelsea behind his back.
Mendes looked calm, with the same smile, and tapped the folder lightly with his fingertips: "Chelsea's boss always regards himself as Chelsea's God, he is what he says, although Jose doesn't mind, but I still don't mind I remember when Jose left Chelsea, he was ridiculed by the British media for at least a month. If Abramovich did not have his intention behind it, Jose would never have left so easily. Since he sent Jose away, now he wants to There is no way to take people back casually."
Mr. Daochang was a little surprised by this, and these words clearly told him that Mendes hated Chelsea in his heart.
"Some people don't have a long memory if they don't feel pain. Some things can't be bought with money. Abramovich will understand this sooner or later." Mendes is still smiling, but this agent giant who is a little cautious in front of Mourinho At this moment, he seemed extremely calm and ruthless.
It's just that these have nothing to do with Clemens. He knows that Mendes will definitely participate in this friendly match against Chelsea, but he is a player, and playing football is the first priority. It is a matter of finding a place for Mourinho. Just leave it to Mendez.
Anyway, Mendes couldn't be better for Mourinho.
Just as he was thinking, Clemens scanned the last piece of paper in the folder. It was originally about Chelsea's first-team lineup after the winter break that Mendes wanted to hand over to Mourinho, but obviously he didn't have time. Remens glanced at a familiar name.
"Costa?" Clemens was a little surprised. If he remembered correctly, this person was obviously in Atletico Madrid.
Mendes nodded casually: "Well, I just moved him to Chelsea. What happened to him at Atletico Madrid last season really affected his state." Even if Clemens' "curse" is not there, Costa The current scoring efficiency is not flattering.
Last season, Clemens made harsh remarks at the post-match press conference because of Costa's malicious trampling on Deportivo captain Manuel, and his words directly cut off Atletico Madrid striker Cos Tower's road to scoring, basically anyone who pays attention to La Liga knows how terrible Costa's fancy road to not scoring last season was.
Now this person actually left La Liga for the Premier League?
Clemens didn't speak, just raised his eyebrows, got up and left the living room with Mendes.
Two days later, Chelsea, the blue team led by Guus Hiddink, arrived in Madrid, Spain. After a day of adapting to the venue and a series of commercial activities, the second night, the Bernabéu was brightly lit. Get to the field and get ready to cheer on the team.
War is imminent.
