There is a dream called football

Chapter 129 Bargaining with the Tyrant

"Money? Of course, the more the better." Mourinho chuckled.

Mourinho once followed Van Gaal, and the Dutchman insisted that his annual salary must be the highest in the club.

Mourinho is very envious of that era, the head coach was the absolute boss, but the times have changed, and now this situation is impossible.

Mendes should be the one to talk about the money.

He said, "500 million."

"GBP."

The asking price was sky-high at the time, but Abu agreed without even thinking about it.

"make a deal."

sweat.

Knowing that there should be more points in this way, Mourinho and Mendes exchanged glances, and they both felt that they wanted less.

In fact, Abu is easy to talk about salary, but he is not easy to talk about grades.

"But I have requirements for the results of the new season."

Of course, the boss spent so much money, it can't be said that there is no request.

"Please say."

"At least one champion."

reasonable.

Mourinho thought to himself, even if he doesn't buy people in the summer, based on the team's current lineup, a championship is still reliable.

"Of course, the league title and the Champions League have extra rewards."

Mourinho nodded, "That's good."

"About the transfer?" Mourinho asked tentatively.

"Report it to me first, and the club will discuss it later."

Click! !
Mourinho did not expect that Abramovich would want him in the most important transfer right.

In European clubs, under normal circumstances, the transfer rights do not belong to the head coach, such as Bayern, and the transfer is managed by the sports manager.

But in the Premier League, most of the transfer rights are in the hands of the coach, such as Manchester United's Ferguson, of course there are also not, the most typical is Chelsea.

It is impossible for a person like Abu to be willing to be an outsider like other bosses. He wants to participate.

When meeting for the first time, Mourinho was also a little timid.

While eating and chatting, it was all intentional, and there was no writing in black and white. After the meal, Mourinho made an excuse to go to the deck to blow some air.

Mendes followed, knowing that Jose had something to say.

"What's the matter? The salary given by the new boss is still very generous."

"But the transfer right that I am most concerned about, he did not let go."

The wishful thinking in Mourinho's mind is to take away some of Porto's main players after he goes to Chelsea, but it is difficult to do this without personnel rights.

This involves the cleaning of the lineup left by Ranieri and the introduction of new players, all of which require absolute rights.

Mendes said: "Chelsea bought so many people last year, it is impossible for you to wash them all."

"It should be washed, I don't think it can be used at all."

sweat!
Thinking in another way, Mendes said: "It's like you bought a sofa and your wife didn't like it and threw it away. How would you feel then?"

Mourinho smiled bitterly: "That's not the case, football is not as simple as you think."

Mendes also saw that Abramovich is a person with a strong personality, not the kind who is willing to be behind the scenes, which is indeed more troublesome.

"How about a showdown?" Mourinho said.

Mendes is a bit heartbroken, he is a manager, and he doesn't want to offend local tyrants, but...

"Jorge, I know it means a lot of money to you, but you also know my character."

Mendes smiled wryly, "I understand, well, let's go back and have a showdown with the Russians."

When Mourinho returned to the observation hall, the atmosphere changed obviously. Abramovich is a businessman. He has seen this situation too many times. This means a showdown.

Mourinho looked at Mendes, rubbed his hands, and finally said: "Roman, first of all, thank you for your appreciation, but I must be the boss of this team. You are an investor. You can't interfere with the daily affairs of the team. It's best not to come to watch the game."

After a pause, Mourinho continued: "But I can guarantee you the Premier League title. If you don't win the Premier League title within three years, I am willing to resign."

The hall was very quiet, and Abu looked thoughtful.

"What if I refuse? Is the negotiation over?"

The most nervous person at this time is Mendes, that's a lot of money.

Mourinho chuckled, "Roman, you are rich, I know, but there are many rich clubs in Europe."

The implication is that what you can give me, there are many clubs that can also give me.

Abu laughed.

He shook his fingers, looking very relaxed, "Don't you think I don't understand football?"

"Okay, listen to me, right?"

Mourinho put on an attitude of listening and respecting.

"In Europe now, there are probably only Inter Milan and Real Madrid that have the strength to invite you and offer you a contract in the summer. Chelsea is the third one."

Mourinho smiled.

"The other two are not inferior to Chelsea in terms of money, but there is one point that is far inferior to Chelsea."

"For example?" Mourinho put on a very curious look.

"None of them have the final say alone."

Mourinho was happy, "I don't like a club where one person has the final say."

"That's because you only see the disadvantages of Yiyantang, but not the advantages."

Real Madrid is a wealthy family, but the chairman of Real Madrid is elected, and Lafayette is actually not the only one who has the final say.

And Inter Milan seems to belong to Moratti, but it is actually more complicated.

Chelsea is really the only club for one person, and this club is the private property of Abramovich alone.

"The biggest advantage of Chelsea is stability. At least in the next 20 years, you don't need to worry about Chelsea changing owners, and the Premier League is the most developed league."

Mourinho paused and asked: "Then how much transfer rights do I have in the summer?"

Abu stretched out three fingers, no more than three could go in or out.

"why?"

"Because for me, face is more important than money."

Most people in the world of local tyrants don’t understand. Abu’s idea is that even if he buys the wrong thing, he can’t admit it and slap him in the face. He would rather keep it. He just doesn’t like being joked by those British reporters.

The maximum number of introductions and sales is three, which is a bit embarrassing for Mourinho.

"I can't promise you right away, but I can guarantee that I will not contact other clubs before rejecting you."

Abramovich expressed his gratitude, "I will thank you very much for this."

On the plane leaving, Mourinho was deep in thought. Obviously this is a double-edged sword. In Porto, Pinto has no money, but he can give Mourinho absolute freedom. Chelsea seems to be the opposite. Abramovich is rich, but obviously does not have the patience of Pinto.

"It's probably the most important choice of my life."
