I Want to Be the King of Football

Su Dong asked himself, in the past period of time, he has seen many people from the team, they all tried their best to persuade him to join their team, and naturally they would inevitably say some unfavorable words to their competitors.

But like Mourinho, as soon as he sits down, he directly tells Su Dong not to join a certain team. This is unprecedented, and only Mourinho has done this.

However, he seems to have done a particularly righteous job.

Why?

Is it just because he was kicked out of the team by Benfica's new chairman?

If it is, it would be too arrogant to report.

Mendes saw Su Dong's expression that he didn't know how to deal with it, and smiled bitterly in his heart, coughed twice, and reminded with a wry smile: Jose, we are still within the range of the Stadium of Light.

That's what I say everywhere. Mourinho, on the contrary, has a posture that I have reason to travel the world. Apart from those high-level executives whose brains have been kicked by donkeys, who can't see the problem in Benfica?

Now Su Dong could hear some clues.

Mourinho is indeed resentful, but Benfica itself is indeed a problem.

Look at the young players that Benfica's first team has cultivated in the past few years? Mourinho first asked Xiang Sudong, and then turned to Mendes, Jorge, you know the situation, how much can you say? a name?

Mendes looked at Su Dong, a little troubled.

When they invited Heynckes, they had high hopes, but they didn't give much support from the beginning to the end, and even shied away from the sale of Joao Pinto to the sworn enemy Sporting Lisbon during the European Cup. To Heynckes, it caused the German coach to lose the support of the Benfica fans ever since.

When they first contacted me, I proposed a complete set of young team ideas. They made it clear that they had no money to invest in the transfer. The famous coach Oliveira also rejected their invitation because of this, and the plan I proposed. It didn't take much, but what was the result? After I beat Sporting Lisbon 3-0, the new chairman informed me that I was not in his plan.

Mourinho talks about his grievances with Benfica, obviously there is still a deep grievance.

Of course, whoever changed it would definitely feel uneasy when encountering something like him.

The new chairman, the star coach, they are expected to come to power, but what is the result?

Mourinho pouted and shook his head, A year later, Benfica's results are still half-dead, and they claim to be vigorously promoting their youth players, but how many young players are there in the current first team?

Simeone bought it from Barcelona for an eight-figure price. He came from the youth training of Sporting Lisbon. The midfielder Thiago came from Braga, and Maniche did come from the youth training. , but before playing for the first team, he was in Arvika for three years, helping the team move from the Portuguese to the Portuguese Super League.

Speaking of this, Mourinho turned his head and looked directly at Su Dong.

Su, don't listen to what the people at Benfica say, but look at what they have done in the past few years. In fact, they have no ability to cultivate young players, nor the soil to cultivate young players.

Nowadays, for Benfica, the most important thing is performance, how to help the team return to the first group as soon as possible, keeping pace with Porto and Sporting Lisbon, as for training young players, it is just because they have no money to invest in transfer. A rhetoric to please the fans because of the market.

Mourinho's remarks are like a knife, cutting through the layers of cover on Benfica's outer skin.

On the contrary, it is like our Leiria. Although it is a small team, you can look at our first team. We do not have enough financial resources to introduce those powerful players, so we have a complete set of training systems for young players. .

For example, the Brazilian striker Delle, who came to Leiria at the age of 24, before that, he couldn't even play in Brazil, we only paid 150,000 euros to sign him, but he came After the team, they scored eight goals in the first season, 13 goals last season, and so far this season, the number of goals has reached double digits, not even halfway through the season.

Delle is indeed the most surprising scorer in the Portuguese Super League this season, and his attacking firepower even surpassed that of Porto's scorer, Pena.

More importantly, Mourinho is right, Delle is indeed a striker that Leiria cultivated, or in other words, a striker who shines in the hands of Mourinho.

Mourinho did not sit in the cafe for too long due to the return trip to Leiria with the team.

Watching him leave, Mendes and Jorge Manuel felt a faint sigh of relief.

He is like a sharp sword, capable of piercing everything, saying what others are afraid to say, or unwilling to say, it seems impulsive, but in fact he is thoughtful and logically complete, and may even even us The reaction did not escape his estimated range.

Mendes looked worried, and Sudong was directly instigated by Mourinho.

This guy has complete control over the rhythm and content of the entire conversation from the moment he sits down.

He started by shelling Benfica, to uncovering the details of Benfica layer by layer, and then throwing out the option of Leiria. The whole process is not to mention Su Dong, even Mendes and Manuel It's hard to get on the phone.

As Mendes said, there are things no one would say so bluntly, but Mourinho said it.

Some too blunt words are said, which can easily make people feel disgusted, but Mourinho said it, and Su Dong did not feel disgusted.

This should also be considered a skill.

What do you think? Mendes looked at Su Dong with concern.

Su Dong frowned slightly, If it wasn't for the scandal between him and Porto, I might believe it.

Mendes and Manuel looked at each other and laughed in unison.

After contacting for a period of time, they found that in addition to his weak strength, Su Dong is a quite satisfactory player in terms of dealing with people and character, not only training hard and self-discipline, but also very rational.

Many professional players tend to get lost easily, lacking a clear understanding of themselves, and lack of understanding and analysis of the outside world.

But Su Dong obviously does not have it, which is a very rare quality.

If Machado's coaching performance does not improve, Porto will change coaches during the winter break. Mendes said with certainty.

As the saying goes, if Mourinho leaves the team and Su Dong joins Leiria at this time, the final result will definitely be full of variables.

It is definitely not Mourinho's idea to recruit Su Dong, but if he leaves and changes to a manager, Su Dong will face more unknowns, which is definitely not a wise choice.

Of course, if earlier, there was no favor from the team, Su Dong would have recognized it, but now it is different.

Take your time, don't worry, there are still two months, you just need to concentrate on playing football, and leave the rest to me.

Mendes' promise was not empty, as he quickly showed Su Dong what he was capable of.

Hugo Viana, the earliest player signed by Mendes for Sporting Lisbon, was selected for the first team at the beginning of October, and then came off the bench. He performed very well and is known as Rui Costa II. .

What's more, Hugo Viana has jumped into the first-team midfield for Sporting Lisbon heading into November.

You know, as an 18-year-old teenager, Hugo Viana's competitors are 28-year-old Ricardo Sa Pinto and 29-year-old international Joao Pinto. The players are all Portuguese players.

Of course, this was not caused by Mendes, but because Sporting Lisbon coach Boloni changed to a double striker.

After the change, Hugo Viana appeared more in the back midfield and left midfielder, which allowed the left-footed Viana to emerge in Sporting Lisbon, faintly keeping pace with Quaresma. momentum.

Perhaps stimulated by Hugo Viana's entry into the first team, Ronnie finally sent a fax to Jose Vega on the national team game day in November, when the league was suspended, and officially signed in. Under Jorge Mendes.

In order to sign Ronnie, Mendes not only flew to Madeira himself, visited Ronnie's parents, and invited Ronnie's mother to Lisbon. The two sides sat down and had a meal, and Mendes was convinced. Ronnie's mother.

Immediately after signing Ronnie, Mendes approached Sporting Lisbon's technical director, Aurelio Pereira.

...

I can make a promise that Ronnie can follow the first team for training during the winter break, and he will play in the first team in the second half of this year, but you know, the team is doing well so far, we can't promise more .

Sporting Lisbon has a good chance of winning this season, especially after activating Jardel's attacking firepower.

In this case, Boloni's coaching position is very stable, and the team must do its best to maintain stability in the future. It is impossible to give too many opportunities to young players, especially like Ronnie.

For this, Mendes understands that, after all, this is the case.

We understand the situation of the team, but the contract must be changed. Mendes expressed his attitude.

The monthly salary is 2,000 euros, and the bonuses can be increased accordingly. This has even surpassed many players in the first team. It should be enough to show our sincerity. Aurelio obviously does not intend to continue the matter.

Mendes is also pleased with the result.

Don't talk about Ronnie, Jorge. Aurelio Pereira left his desk, walked to Mendes, and put his arms around the young Portuguese agent's shoulders affectionately, said Talk about your new player.

While Mendez and Aurelio chat in Alcochete, the protagonist Sudong is beaming on the indoor football pitch at Park Edward VII.

He had just completed the duel training with Ronnie, and then according to his habit, he consulted the personal attribute panel in the system.

He was finally done.
