Chapter 55

"Financial problems in Braga???"

Diego couldn't believe it: "But, didn't you tell Coach Ferreira just now that you have helped him complete a three-year contract extension with his coaching team and the club?"

"That's because it's just a pure extension of the contract period, and there is no salary increase at all..."

Jorge Mendes sighed helplessly: "Braga wants me to help them find a high-quality and cheap young coach, even an academic coach who has no first-team coaching experience. Hey... this How many Jose Mourinhos are there in the world?"

Speaking of this, Jorge Mendes shook his head and said: "The idea of ​​the Braga executives is very simple-money! They really want the team to enter the Champions League, but what they fancy is not honor, but the Champions League The league’s high market dividends and participation bonuses! Even Braga executives have already planned to start selling off the main players after they are guaranteed to enter the group stage next season, so as to cash in at high prices.”

"what!"

Diego froze on the spot.

As a diehard fan of later generations, Diego has seen many small clubs create miracles. Soon after entering the Champions League, the main lineup fell apart, and even the head coach dismissed get out of class.

At that time, Diego was still depressed and complained about the big teams: "This is not giving life to small clubs! Afraid that others will challenge his dominance, he tried his best to poach corners, and even degraded others!"

However, what I didn't expect was...

It turned out that the small club took the initiative to sell off the main meritorious service in order to complete high-level cash out.

"Diego, I don't know if you know that Braga created the best results in team history last season and won the Europa League qualifying place. In the last two rounds, they lost to the The Serbian team Red Star Belgrade missed the group stage of the Europa League."

"This, I really don't know."

"Then I'll tell you the truth!"

Jorge Mendes looked serious: "I only found out when I had a meeting with the Braga executives a few days ago. This is because the executives asked Coach Ferreira to release water and strategically abandon the front line of the Europa League!"

Diego suddenly felt that his three views had been refreshed: "It's still like this???"

"Why not?"

Jorge Mendes spread his hands and shrugged: "The Europa League bonuses are not even enough to subsidize the team's away games and give bonuses to the players. If one or two Eastern European or even more remote teams are drawn in the group stage, That’s even worse—traveling long distances costs not only money but also energy. Who wants to do this kind of business that makes money at a loss?”

"My God! How could this be possible! Didn't the efforts of the players last season be in vain?!"

"That can't be helped..."

Jorge Mendes sighed helplessly: "Hey! It's not easy to manage a small club. It's hard to think about the future development before you can't be sure that you can survive."

"Ugh!!!"

After learning such a cruel truth, Diego felt mixed emotions in his heart.

It's no wonder why there are so many upsets in the Europa League.

In fact, when many of the top five league teams play away games, they use all substitutes or even their entire youth teams.

At least they have reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League, and clubs will take the Europa League seriously. Teams that can reach this stage will at least not be small clubs in the leagues of various countries. A bit of financial strength and bench depth.

Most importantly, the Europa League champion represents a place in the UEFA Champions League group stage next season!

This is the biggest driving force of fighting spirit!

After all, for the vast majority of clubs, the Europa League is tasteless, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard-if it does not affect the domestic league record, then play it, I feel that the league in the new season is not easy to play If that's the case, then give up early to ensure that the league will not rush to relegation.

I saw Diego tentatively asking: "Then what if the team can't get a ticket to the Champions League this season? Could it be that Coach Ferreira has to be forced by the top management to strategically abandon the Europa League front?"

"This depends on the summer transfer window. Braga can rely on the sale of the main players, and how much money will be returned to make the transfer budget..."

Speaking of this, Jorge Mendes smiled confidently: "I will serve as Braga's transfer consultant in Xia Chuang. Braga's strong performance for two consecutive seasons has attracted many Portuguese Super League teams and even La Liga. The attention of the team. As far as I know, there are currently at least five teams interested in Joao Thomas, and one of them is a Middle Eastern team that can offer a sky-high transfer fee for Joao Thomas."

"In this case, shouldn't I stay in Braga?"

Diego suddenly felt that there seemed to be a problem with Jorge Mendes' logic, and he frowned and asked: "Since the team can cash out Joao boss at a sky-high transfer fee, it will solve the team's financial deficit. It also frees up a main position as a center forward, shouldn't it be a better opportunity for me?"

"Theoretically, this is true, but after Joao Thomas was injured, every team began to maintain a wait-and-see attitude. Even the wealthy teams in the Middle East began to switch to other powerful forwards! Hey..."

After all, Jorge Mendes said with emotion: "Injury is the biggest enemy of athletes! Once there is any injury problem, no matter how beautiful the report card is, the interested club will use it to lower the price. To keep reducing the market value of the team."

Feeling moved, Jorge Mendes got straight to the point, he looked at Diego seriously: "So! You have become the best cash-out target in Braga."

"I???"

Diego pointed to himself in astonishment: "Why me? I just played a match in the Portuguese Super League! What market value can there be? If the club is eager to sell players and cash out to cover their positions, they shouldn't focus on Boss Bonaventure, or Paul Jorge, Andres Madrid?"

"If you follow the normal transfer process, it really doesn't have too much transfer value. But you are a signed player of Gestifute International, that's two different things! Haha!"

Jorge Mendes smiled confidently: "I have sent your information and game video to the three giants of the Portuguese Super League, Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Benfica, and even Atletico Madrid, Deportivo, La Coruna, It is in the hands of the person in charge of the marketing department of Real Betis. I believe, there will be an answer soon!"

"I……"

"Shh!"

Jorge Mendes, who is like a "dominant president", did not give Diego a chance to speak at all.

I saw Jorge Mendes grabbing Diego's arm, and his excited look was as if he was confessing his love to his sweetheart.

"Diego! The potential you have shown in the professional arena, as well as your changes during this time, have made me more determined to leave Braga for you: the Braga platform is too small for you Yes! You need a higher, bigger and more professional stage! To show your football talent to the fullest!"

(PS: Diego’s next club is among these six teams. Lao Mouzi has already had a bottom line on the follow-up plot of the transfer. I hope everyone will like the story of Diego’s new club. Let's go! O(∩_∩)o)
