Restricted Superstar

When the war of words between Porto and Manchester United was at its most intense, Gao Xiaodong met Inter Milan coach Mourinho at the dinner of his agent Mendes. Δ┡E novel Ww W. ㄟ1XIAOSHUO. com

The defeat in the Champions League did not affect the mood of the madman. Mourinho, who was dressed in a black Armani suit, was still in style. He stared at Gao Xiaodong sharply, Gao, do you believe what I said on TV?

What Mourinho said was that he thought Porto could knock out Manchester United and even win the championship. Of course Gao Xiaodong didn't believe what he said. When Manchester United, Mourinho also said that Manchester United is very strong and can beat all opponents and win five crowns.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: If you come to coach, I will definitely believe it, but now it is difficult for us to defeat the strong with the weak, and it has already taken our prehistoric effort to eliminate Atletico Madrid.

Mourinho was unmoved by Gao Xiaodong's flattery, and continued to explain his point of view, Inter Milan actually has a chance to eliminate Manchester United, but we were unlucky and hit two goalposts. In the strong dialogue One goal post can change the game, but I won't tell you where United's weakness is?

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, I don't believe what you said. Porto's defeat of Manchester United will benefit you. That doesn't mean that Coach Ferreira is better than you.

Mendes laughed loudly and said, Jose, you can't fool Xiaodong.

Mourinho smiled and said: I didn't fool you. Manchester United does have weaknesses, but not only I know, but the whole world knows that the difference between a strong team and a weak team is that a strong team can grasp the opponent's weakness. And it’s useless for weak teams to know.”

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, I believe Coach Jose's words.

Mourinho said lightly: Let Mr. Mendes call you over, I have something to tell you.

Gao Xiaodong listened quietly.

Mourinho continued: Our main lineup is flawed, there are too many old people, and the young talents are only Balotelli and Santon. The two of them cannot provide enough vitality and variables for the team. I have already talked to Moratti. Mr. said, I hope to get you. For you, transferring from Porto to a European giant will give you a bigger performance stage, a better growth environment, better income, and greater fame.

Gao Xiaodong is not a person who is easy to fool, he said: My transfer fee may be very high, um, it is higher than last summer.

Gao Xiaodong expressed his dissatisfaction with Mourinho's behavior of releasing pigeons last summer. At that time, Mourinho said he would take him to Inter Milan.

But he gave up because of Porto's asking price of 30 million euros.

Mourinho said calmly: I only buy people to see if they are worth the money. Last summer, you were not worth 30 million euros. Now you are worth at least 40 million euros. Buying people, money has never been the main issue.”

Gao Xiaodong said: In addition, I hope that I can get all the opportunities to play in the league and the Champions League, the best.

Mourinho frowned and said: I can at most guarantee your main position, but it is impossible to guarantee all your playing opportunities. I must arrange tactics according to the player's state and the opponent's situation.

Mendes, who was sitting beside him, also felt a little strange about Gao Xiaodong's request. Some asked for a high annual salary, some asked for signing fees, some asked for portrait rights, and some asked for the main position. I have never heard of anyone asking for all the playing opportunities. , but today is mainly about Mourinho talking with Gao Xiaodong, Mendes doesn't want to give Gao Xiaodong the impression that he wants Gao Xiaodong to go to Inter Milan.

Gao Xiaodong said: In this case, let's wait until the end of the season to discuss the transfer. Now I don't want to be distracted by the transfer.

Mendes saw that the conversation between the two was deadlocked, and said: Then let's talk about it after the season is over. Jose is here today, mainly to talk to you about his thoughts, not to let you make a decision now.

Mourinho said: I have finished my thoughts, Gao, think about it carefully, Mr. Mendes, you talk, I am going back to Italy.

Mendes and Gao Xiaodong saw off Mourinho, who came and went in a hurry, and went back to the room to sit down. Mendes said, Xiaodong, what do you think of what Mourinho said?

Gao Xiaodong said: My opinion has already been expressed to Coach Mourinho.

Mendes frowned and said, Do you already have a favorite team?

Gao Xiaodong said: No, whoever gives me the best conditions and meets my conditions, I will go there.

Mendes sighed, and said: Xiaodong, there are quite a few teams that have their eyes on you, and most of them are wealthy teams, but I am afraid that none of them can meet your requirements. You know, the coaches who can coach the wealthy are all With ability, fame and personality, it is impossible to give you a chance to play under any conditions, which is more unacceptable to the coach than asking for a high annual salary.

Gao Xiaodong said: No, it's okay to be a substitute. As long as you don't miss the game.

Don't you get hurt and tired? Mendes teased.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, If I'm tired, I'll take the initiative to apply for a rest.

Mendes shook his head and said, I hope there will be a coach to meet your weird request, and now there is one more important thing to tell you.

Gao Xiaodong was a little surprised and said, What else is there, Mr. Mendez?

Mendes said: Well, during this period of time, there are actually people in Portugal who want to find you as a commercial endorsement, but I have suppressed them, because they are all small companies and the price is not high. Your first endorsement , I hope the starting point is higher, two days ago, people from Adidas and Nike both approached me, they both want to sign you, which one do you like?

Damn, Nike and Adidas are the big names in sporting goods, and they have found me. Gao Xiaodong was both surprised and happy, and said: Mr. Mendes, I don't like them very much, and I don't know them very well. Porto is sponsored by Nike.

Mendes said lightly: Yes, but your personal endorsement has nothing to do with the club. Besides, you will not stay in Porto next season. Now Adidas and Nike are the two largest sporting goods companies in the world with equal strength. Adidas is stronger in football, Nike is stronger in basketball.

Gao Xiaodong pondered for a while, and said, Who has better conditions?

Mendes said: There is not much difference. Adidas' sponsorship contract for you is 4 million euros for five years, and Nike is 4.5 million euros for five years.

Gao Xiaodong said: Of course I chose 4.5 million.

Mendes said: But in the field of football, Adidas is stronger and has the strongest promotion and packaging capabilities.

Gao Xiaodong said with some distress: How do I choose, or wait a little longer, maybe we will be upset in the Champions League, I guess it will be a little higher at that time.

Mendes said with a smile: You think the sponsorship contract between Nike and Adidas is just a joke. They have been investigating for a long time, but since you can't decide, we might as well wait.
