Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 43

Jaif cursed and cursed in a low voice, and walked out from the gate of the Guimaraes Club. He was about to kick over the billboard on the roadside, but found that the security guard was staring at him unkindly, and could only feel resentful. He resolutely gave up his act of venting his anger.

He has been to several Portuguese clubs these days, but the feedback he got was not very good. He can't blame the attitude of those youth training directors. It is to drive out the scouts of this Portuguese second club.

Guimarães has been ranked in the middle and upper reaches in recent seasons. The team has some ambitions to win the championship. Jaif heard about their generous methods in the transfer market, and raised his asking price a bit...

The staff knocked on the office door of the youth training supervisor, wanting to ask him why he lost his temper so much.

"Having lost your temper? Didn't you hear what he said! A ten-year-old boy, he dared to ask me for a commission of 30 escudos, what did he think Guimarães was? The one who gave him money? I Promise him to hell..."

The staff curled their lips and didn't give Jayf a good face when they sent him away, and that's how the scene just happened.

Jaif rubbed his brows vigorously. Several consecutive defeats made him somewhat frustrated. The price of 30 to [-] escudos is not high compared to Yang's worth, but if the money is taken It is indeed difficult to make people want to consume the commission paid to scouts.

In the football circle in the 90s, there is still a lack of information interaction. What Jaif wants to use is the time difference and geographical difference in Portugal. Otherwise, how can he earn this money as a small scout? You know, 30 Escudos could be exchanged for about fifteen hundred pounds at the time.

According to Jaif, if he wants to get this ten-year-old kid, he has to pay him [-] pounds for information. It is no wonder that the director of youth training in Guimarães slapped the table and told him to get out. Everyone will be angry.

Jaif found a coffee shop and drank a cup of black coffee without sugar to calm himself down. Taking this time, he took a good look at the information at hand. Morelence, Setubal, Amadora and Leo Avi, the four clubs he went to before all rejected his proposal on the spot.

In order to ensure the absolute upper hand in Young's transfer competition, Jaif dared to disclose almost no information to outsiders. He could only demonstrate Young's value by describing his technical characteristics.The veterans of the club don’t have any trust in the mouths of scouts. They have a lot of experience in this, and Jaif has experienced the embarrassment and depression of being hit by a wall everywhere.

He has only one last card left, and Penafiel, a team struggling in the Liga Liga, is the guaranteed choice for Jaif, where his friend works as a press liaison officer.

The reason why Penafiel was left to the end is to talk about Jaif's little thoughts.If personal relationships are used, many things can no longer be kept secret.Although it is not uncommon for him to jump over the parents of young players to ask for commissions, it will damage his reputation after all.If it is not handled properly and there is a big trouble, the job at the Portimão Club will probably be lost. Jaif doesn't want to lose his job for extra money.

The main reason is that Penafiel, as a small club in the Porto district of northern Portugal, has not developed much on the stage. The De Abril Municipal Stadium can only accommodate more than [-] people.

Coupled with the poor record this season, after losing to several relegation opponents one after another, they have already fallen deeper and deeper in the relegation zone. Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that Penafiel is destined to be hopeless in relegation.

To put it bluntly, the top ten teams in the standings didn't take them seriously. As for the teams that were on the verge of relegation, they were looking forward to meeting Penafiel as soon as possible so they could score three points .

According to this performance, they can't even beat a few strong Portuguese teams. If they don't occupy the title of Portugal, they may not be attractive to Young.

Jaif also heard some news during this period. The leader of Portugal B. Ferreira has already made an offer to Lisbon Orient, but it is not clear whether they have directly contacted Jan and Jose.

In a horizontal comparison, Penafiel is really not competitive. Speaking of which, the termination clause can be used, and the underpayment will basically be used to improve Yang's treatment.

But Jayef wants to earn this money. He traveled so many places just for the commission. After removing the 30 escudos, the signing fee and bonus given by Penafiel are not much higher. .

Jaif heaved a long sigh, settled the bill, opened the door and walked to the train station. He still had to drive from Guimaraes to Penafiel...

……

Sir Robson is very tangled now.

His wife, Elsie, was clearing the dining table. The guests who had just visited had a long conversation with Robson in the living room before leaving. She took away the water glasses on the table. Robson didn't like to be disturbed when he was thinking.

"Elsie, what do you think of our two years in Portugal?" Robson asked softly, propping his forehead.

"How about what? If you mean the climate, it's not bad. It's better than your hometown in Sacreston anyway. At least there aren't so many rainy days, and the winter is warm..."

"Ha! I didn't lie to you when I was in Eindhoven, didn't I? That agent, Dennis Roach, told me so. I told you exactly what I said, without changing a single word."

Elsie stopped the movement of her hand and gave Robson a deep look.

"Bobby, what were you talking about then? Well, we're going to come here and enjoy it for a year or two, and then go home, but now? That Sintra owes you a salary, and it's so embarrassing, you said Say, a 60-year-old is still being fired in this way..."

"Okay, Elsie, don't say such annoying things."

"Don't think that I can't guess what the group of people came to do just now, and asked me how Portugal is, are you..."

Robson shook his head with a wry smile on his face, stopping his wife from continuing to say: "I apologize, I apologize, Elsie, it was my fault at the beginning, and I promised them to come to Lisbon without asking for your opinion. Asking you, where did the 'you' come from?"

Elsie spread her hands, and said helplessly: "Didn't Bob Harris help you with the vacation, went to the West Indies to play cricket or something, the luggage was packed, and these things happened again, tell me You, I still want to go home and see the children."

"The vacation and going home will not be dismissed. Don't worry, Elsie, I promise. Isn't Sporting Lisbon still owed the salary in the contract? Anyway, they want to stay in Portugal, right..."

"Don't worry about it, I'm not saying you, you have to obey the old when you are old, now you have a chance to rest, and you have to find something to do...

That's all, how can I say that the climate in Portugal is better than that in the UK, your body, alas, you should think about it before making a decision, but don't try to fool the past when it comes to vacation and homecoming! "

Robson nodded quickly. Elsie's test was over, and he could breathe a sigh of relief and think about his next choice.

The night is cool and thin, and the three thousand star rivers hanging beside the moon, outside the sky without cloud cover, flicker like water drops shaking off the wings of waterfowls, the light is as beautiful as dream bubbles, and the beauty is unparalleled for a while.

Robson was not in the mood to appreciate the night sky at the moment. He sat thinking under the deliberately dimmed light, and the expression on his face was not very real. Picked up the phone.

"Hi...I'm Robson..."

……

Mourinho has been out of work for several days. He and his good friend Manuel Fernandez stayed in Sporting Lisbon for a while, but failed to get the approval of coach Queiroz and were excluded from the coaching team together.

This Portuguese team, led by the Portuguese, does not seem to need an interpreter, even if he is not just an interpreter.

Mourinho looked at the reports he had made to other Portuguese teams before, trying to dig out more information from them. Although the recent encounters made him very unhappy, Mourinho still told himself that he should pay attention Focus on other things, such as choosing a good way out for Young.

After filling another page of notes, Mourinho looked at his watch. It was not too early for ordinary people, but he was still stuck in the past work rhythm and had not adapted to it. Not good.

He rubbed his eyes and was about to wash his face when the phone rang.

"Hi, I'm Mourinho...Mr. Robson, why are you calling so late, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Jose, yes, I have something to ask you... Do you know anything about Porto?"

Mourinho recalled a little while pressing the center of his brows, and said slowly into the phone:

"If you refer to the geographical name, Porto is located in the north of Portugal. It is a very aggressive city. In terms of style, it is different from an international metropolis like Lisbon. In other words, Porto has a very distinct Portuguese style. Breath. I don’t know much about other things, but the Porto wine there is quite famous…”

"Okay, Jose, I'm not asking a native guide, get your sense of humor on, you know what I'm asking."

Mourinho put away the smile that just bloomed on his face, and said solemnly:
"Porto is a very strong big club, very ambitious, and the chairman of the team is particularly strong. In terms of record, the previous ones are not counted. From the 80s to now, they have also won six league titles, and they have won consecutive titles in the first two seasons. .

Although the results are not very good now, they still occupy the top three of the Portuguese League with Sporting Lisbon and Benfica. However, I heard that the team has been a little chaotic recently, and there seems to be something wrong internally. "

Mourinho didn't speak fast, and Robson pondered while digesting the information in his words. After a while, he opened his mouth and said:

"Today, the president of Porto, Pinto da Costa, came to my house. Well, it seems that the driver drove all the way here, with a tired face. He is obviously younger than me. These team presidents...

He talked to me for a long time and wanted me to join him in making Porto the strongest club in Portugal.Hehe, of course I can coach there if I want to, Jose, do you think I should?will you come with me "

When Mourinho heard this, he didn't hesitate at all. When Robson's voice fell, he couldn't help but said: "Yes, sir, yes, I really want to go with you!"

Robson smiled on the phone and hung up after letting Mourinho rest early.

After Mourinho put down the receiver, he waved his arms into the air silently to celebrate twice. The unemployment state is finally coming to an end. This period of time almost didn’t spoil him. Mathilde leaned against the door and looked at the excited Husband, with a soft smile on his lips.

Mourinho suddenly thought of something, turned around the room twice, and then rushed to his desk, tore off the page of notes, and drew a few times vigorously with the pen.

Although it was only a few letters, it filled up the blank space on the back of the paper.
