The situation of Cristiano was quickly known by Figo and Deco. After discussing with Deco, Figo and Deco tactfully told the matter to his former coach Mourinho——Theme Yes: Cristiano is terrified by your entry into Real Madrid, can you comfort him.

Mourinho exhaled a breath from his nose, expressing his disdain for this-everyone is an adult, why should they coax each other to live?

But in the end Mendes made an outstanding contribution in this matter - Mendes said, "You have to consider that Real Madrid is not an Inter Milan team, you have to make a huge change to them , but this kind of change cannot be made without the support of people - your current supporters are only the club, you also need someone in the team to firmly support you."

"Ronaldo will, he knows that everything I ask is the foundation of helping him win." Mourinho is very sure of this, "But does the whole of Europe know now that I am going to Real Madrid?"

Mendes was silent for a second, "Of course not."

Mourinho was satisfied with the confidentiality of the situation, but before he was satisfied, Mendes continued, "Everywhere in the world with network coverage probably knows it-how do you expect anyone not to know?"

Mourinho pouted.

"Anyway, I personally don't think you need to say anything to Cristiano directly, because to be honest, I don't think Cristiano is intimidated by you - I think he is just worried about Kaka's injury. The problem, you know, he had a period of injury last season." Mendes said, "Although the injury was not particularly serious at that time, after the World Cup, no one knows whether it will worsen or recur. .”

Mourinho hummed, "So what do you want me to do?"

"I think you can directly notify all the players participating in the World Cup after signing the contract in two days to allow them to undergo a comprehensive medical examination after the World Cup, and pass the medical examination report to you and the Real Madrid team doctor." Mendes said-although Mendes I also think I have said too much in this regard, but he believes that Mourinho can distinguish what is over-involved and what is just routine advice.

Mourinho was silent for a while.

"I can make this suggestion-although I think it is unnecessary," Mourinho said, "but I have two requests: first, don't make an official announcement about my signing with Real Madrid until the team assembles; Two, I want you to tell Ronaldo that I have decided not to sign with Real Madrid."

? ? ? ? ? ?

"Why?" Mr. Mendez was taken aback by the second condition.

——"But in short, the problem you worried about probably won't happen," Mendes had to lie to Cristiano a little later, "Jose decided to find some new fun for himself, so he didn't plan to talk to Real Madrid. Signed -- maybe to a different team."

To be honest, Mr. Mendez felt that this statement was not convincing even to himself.

But Cristiano was taken aback, "Why?"

- "Why?" Mendes also asked Mourinho at the time.

Mourinho was triumphant, "For Portugal, I am willing to make a little sacrifice to ease his tension, but the condition is that I want him to be shocked when he sees me on the first day back at the club, Overwhelmed."

—Mr. Mendez's mouth twitched, "So are you happy or unhappy?"

Cristiano was lost in thought.

There is no doubt that Cristiano and his fellow Portuguese were at least on par with each other if they were not really at odds during Mourinho's final year in charge at Real Madrid - if they were both full of enthusiasm for each other to begin with. Looking forward, fantasizing about working with each other, by 2012 they were complaining about each other.

If they can barely restrain themselves in the team, then in front of Mendes, it seems that both sides have lost their reason for restraint. They quarreled in front of Mendes again and again until they finally stopped seeing each other.

——"I can't support you in this matter," Cristiano responded to Mourinho's request that year, "I am friends with Kaka, how do you ask me to tell him to let him voluntarily transfer? Do you find this realistic? Is this respectful?"

"He's taking my salary space," Mourinho said aggressively. "I've talked to him enough times and he won't, so now I'm trying to get you to talk to him in a kind of friend's way. , This is the greatest respect I have for the former world No. [-]-and you have to know that the salary space he occupies will also prevent you from getting better help and assistance."

Cristiano said nothing, turned to Mendes.

Mendes immediately stood up and tried to calm Mourinho.

But Mourinho shook Mendes's hand, "I've said it enough times, I want you to get the Ballon d'Or, because if you get the Ballon d'Or it means Real Madrid have achieved great success, and I do too. Will get the title of best coach - so don't feel like I'm making things difficult for you, realize that it's in your interest too!"

"Jose," Mendez said quickly, "let's all calm down, there will be other ways of doing this."

"What way?" Mourinho turned his head to face Mendes and asked coldly, "Can you cure him immediately and let him play again, or can you make him disappear immediately?"

——This kind of dispute has been repeated too many times, so many times that Cristiano and Mourinho no longer have to state their views in the end.

They were just a silent stalemate—no rage, no hoarseness, just silence and gloom.

Cristiano hates this.

But Cristiano also has to admit that this partnership has indeed benefited both parties-they took a King's Cup and a league title from the top Barcelona, ​​​​and defeated their opponents head-on. After Ao left, he also asked himself, if there were not so many things that made each other angry, would they still be able to get more together.

Even if this assumption is a meaningless fantasy, what actually happened is that Mourinho is what Real Madrid need at this stage. Apart from Mourinho, Cristiano can't think of anyone who can do better.

No, Zidane and Ancelotti are good, good enough, but now is not the time.

When Mendes said Mourinho wasn't planning to sign, Cristiano had to admit he was both ecstatic and dazed - he was ecstatic that he could avoid an argument, but dazed for the rest of the club season. .

"But if it wasn't him, who else could it be? And... he was before, didn't you say he had already decided before?" Cristiano asked.

Mendes sighed, he didn't want to lie to Cristiano, but if Mourinho agreed to help, there was only one way, "I don't know, maybe he decided to take a vacation or something."

Mendez was vague.

Cristiano didn't speak for a long time.

Mendes sighed again, "But anyway, I got good news from the club-the club heard your suggestion to Kaka, and they feel that this approach will undoubtedly help to maintain the club's reputation. interests, so they decided to send an email notification to all players and their agents tomorrow at the latest, requiring all players participating in the World Cup to undergo a comprehensive medical examination as soon as possible after the end of their country’s World Cup trip, and no later than the World Cup finals The medical examination report will be sent to the club by mail one week after the end."

Cristiano froze for a moment, his intuition told him that this incident seemed to be a bit strange-Real Madrid has never been a troublesome team, since the players will inevitably undergo the club's medical examination when they return to the team, it seems that there is no need to be there. Prior to this, it was mandatory for players to self-examine themselves.

"You proposed it to the club?" Cristiano asked Mendes.

Mendes pursed his lips, "It's really not me—although I can understand your doubts, it's not me. But this is good news. Since it's the club's official request, Kaka has no reason not to go for a physical examination, isn't it? ?"

Cristiano scratched his chin, "Of course, if you say that, this is indeed the best solution-I'm just puzzled, I don't think Real Madrid will be so idle and meddlesome. You know, Anyway, when the club gathers, there will be a medical examination, so maybe this is not really necessary for the club. It seems that they don't need to go to... er, ask everyone like this because of my concerns. I'm not Di Stefano gentlemen."

Mendes shrugged - of course it is necessary, for the request made by Mourinho, who has just won the unprecedented Triple Crown in Serie A, it is impossible for Florentino not to agree, not to mention that this request is not excessive at all , It is also conducive to the club's timely investigation of risks and knowing the physical condition of the players.

Moreover, the club has no loss at all, except for a little traffic for sending emails and receiving reports.

"Forget about it, Cristiano, it doesn't matter," Mendes said. "Prepare for the game - do everything you can, and if something happens... that's fate."

"You're here to change yourself, to save yourself, not to save the world," Mendes said.
