Chapter 11 Jose Mourinho
Thinking of this candidate, Edward was very excited.

He is definitely the most ideal coach. As long as this great god comes, Union Berlin will definitely not lack attention.

"Philip, book me a flight to Portugal right now."

Mourinho should have stayed at home since he was fired by Benfica last year, but who knows that he will be spotted by Porto one day. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Edward is going to start as soon as possible.

When he arrived in Portugal, he got in touch with Mourinho very easily, which is the benefit of capital.

"Hello, Jose, my name is Edward Hoffman."

"You're German? You speak Spanish pretty well."

Mourinho was surprised.

Edward received an aristocratic education since he was a child, and he speaks well the languages ​​commonly used in continental Europe. He has never learned Portuguese, but there is not much difference between Portuguese and Spanish, so he chose to communicate with Mourinho in Spanish.

"Thank you."

Edward picked up his glass and took a sip: "Jose, I appreciate your talent very much. People like you shouldn't waste time at home. Benfica made a wrong decision."

"I'm very happy with your appreciation, but Edward, you made a mistake. I didn't stay at home. This season, I led Liana to No. 5 in the Portuguese Super League."

"..."

This is embarrassing. Edward only remembered that Mourinho had coached Benfica before going to Porto, but he did not expect to coach a club that he had never heard of.

Philip Jennings saw Edward deflated, and immediately said: "Master Edward has been praising you as a talented coach these days, and he hopes you can go to a bigger platform."

Hearing this, Mourinho's eyes lit up: "So Edward owns a club, in Germany? Let me guess, he is the heir of Bayer Pharmaceuticals? Or Volkswagen?"

"No, not Leverkusen, not Wolfsburg, Master Edward is the chairman of Union Berlin."

Hearing Union Berlin, Mourinho sat back on the sofa again, just as Edward had never heard of Liana Football, a grape team, and Mourinho had never heard of Union Berlin, so it was no surprise.

At this time, he asked without giving up: "I'm sure you're not talking about Hertha Berlin, but Union Berlin?"

"It's Union Berlin. We have just been promoted to the second division, and Hertha Berlin has only been promoted to the first division for four years." Edward answered first.

Seeing Mourinho's reluctance to be disappointed, Edward gave his promise: "I can guarantee that you are the most special one in the team. You can dispose of any player who disobeys you, including decentralization, as you want. Any player, as long as it is possible to buy, I will buy it for you. Of course, I will also recommend some players for you, but if you don’t agree, I will not sign any players.”

Edward's guarantee is indeed very tempting, and his rights are almost equivalent to the godfather of Manchester United Ferguson. This is still in Germany, and any head coach will not have such great rights.

But Mourinho still has another problem: "If I want to buy more expensive players, Germany's football policy is not very friendly to investors."

"Haha, I have a property of 300 billion euros, and there is no problem with my cash reserves. If it is not for the lack of reputation of the team, I will immediately be able to buy all the best 11 players in the European Cup last year."

"But you haven't answered my question yet."

Although surprised that Edward is so rich, Mourinho still did not forget: "Germany has 50+1, even if you want to, your decision may not be passed."

"You don't have to worry about Jose. I've already settled the fan organization. Voting rights are not a problem at all. Recently, I plan to increase the annual membership fee. After a year or two, the proportion of uncontrolled members will be pitifully small. No wind and waves."

Mourinho was startled when he heard this. Just now he thought that Edward might be a second-generation ancestor, but this method can be thought of by the second-generation ancestor?

Mourinho is not at all disgusted with this kind of method, but thinks that a person like Edward will succeed. If Edward is not too young, he will guess that the huge assets are made by Edward.

Edward also appreciates Mourinho. Mourinho’s tactics in the early stage are not blindly conservative. He just does whatever it takes to win. If defense can bring championships, what’s the problem with taking the bus? Edward likes football, and he likes money even more. Inheriting 300 billion euros, not to mention putting on a bus, even if Mourinho wants to play 5 midfielders, he doesn't care. He only needs to win, and the process is irrelevant.

Didn't Rehhagel's Greek miracle in 04 also come from driving a bus?

Besides, Mourinho's tactics during this period are really not too conservative. He has been with Bobby Robson for a long time. Mourinho has learned a lot of useful things from the old coach, but he doesn't have much experience.

Mourinho's tactical system has not even been formed yet, and there are more possibilities worthy of Edward's expectation. Edward does not believe that Mourinho will not be able to play good games if he is given a team full of talents. In the 11/12 season Edouard likes the counterattack of the M's Real Madrid team very much. It is simple and efficient. It can send the ball into the opponent's goal in 8 seconds. It scored 121 goals in the season.

This is what football should be like, blood and passion, not endless backcourt.

"Can you really buy all the players I want?"

Mourinho asked, he was tempted, no coach would refuse this temptation, the conditions given by Edward can almost be said to be completely decentralized.

"Of course, as long as you can convince Ronaldo, I can send the money tomorrow, and you can get any player you want, as long as they are willing, if we have no better choice."

"Better option?"

Mourinho caught the crux of the matter.

"Yes, I have a very good analysis team. They and I have already identified many future superstars. If you don't believe me, I can show you some videos of players. I believe you will be very interested."

Mourinho's personality has always been relatively strong. He doubts what effect Edward's so-called analysis team can play. This term sounds like a person who wears a suit and tie. If it is analyzing stocks, it is almost the same. Football is not simple. Data game.

Before he could open his mouth, the old butler directly took out a DV and handed it over, which contained game clips of some players.

In just a few tens of seconds, Mourinho, who hadn't taken it seriously just now, exclaimed: "God, this kid is really good."

Edward smiled and didn't speak. If you continue to read, you will be even more surprised. This is the most shining group of people in football in the future.

After the video was played, Mourinho stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation, Mr. Chairman."

"Great work, Jose, you made a wise choice!"
