"Xu Hongtao?"

Jorge Mendes was very puzzled and came to the agreed place. If it weren't for the fact that he had come to Portugal on behalf of West Ham, who had just won the English League Cup, Mendes would not have come to see him.

Who knows who you are?

That's what Mendes thinks, and so does Xu Hongtao. There are many top agents in European football at the moment, but Mendes does not belong to such top agents.

Not very famous.

I haven't heard much of it.

Xu Hongtao was in English football during this time, and he also began to set foot in the circle of English agents and began to know some English agents. There are many well-known agents in England, such as Zahavi, who Xu Hongtao knows, and Barnett, the agent of Ashley Cole, who was scolded as a vampire, Paul Streford, the most notorious agent in English football who was disqualified as an agent because of Rooney's problems, Jerome Anderson, Arsenal's royal agent, and the son of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, the son of Arsenal vice chairman David Dunn, and so on.

They are all agents who have a large number of stars under their hands.

It's Mendes, Xu Hongtao hasn't heard of it. Just when I learned about his information, I found that this was the first agent in South America and even the first agent in world football, Figer's horse boy in Portugal.

But before he came, Chen Pingke attached great importance to Mendes.

Because one person, one team.

This season's Champions League dark horse, last season's UEFA Cup champion team Porto. Porto won the UEFA Cup last season, plus the domestic title is a treble.

This result made Porto's young coach Jose Mourinho quickly make a name for himself in European football, becoming the best coach in European football last season. With a group of stars in Mourinho and Porto, Chen Ping directly told Xu Hongtao that Mendes' career is just around the corner.

Therefore, Xu Hongtao also attaches great importance to meeting Mendes.

"Mr. Xu, hello, hello. ”

Mendes had never heard Xu Hongtao's name, but Mendes walked in very enthusiastically. West Ham, not a big club. But having just won the English League Cup and soon to be promoted to the Premier League, Mendes will certainly not ignore it. And West Ham has a lot of talented players, and many media even call West Ham another Leeds United.

There are many convenient places for brokers and brokers to meet.

If the club staff and the agent meet and are sued, there will be a lot of problems. But when an agent comes forward on behalf of the team, there will be no such problem.

It's normal for agents to meet with brokers, and no one can say anything.

"Mr. Mendez, a long-time name. ”

Mendes is polite, Xu Hongtao is more familiar with these. Both of them aspire to be top agents in European football, so they both speak several languages. Communication is not a problem at all.

"Where, I just worked as a small agent in Portugal. Not as good as Mr. Xu in the Premier League. ”

"Mr. Mendes, you're kidding. Porto are doing very well now, Coach Mourinho has become the most popular young coach in European football, and the value of Porto's players has also soared. If Mr. Mendez is a small agent, then what are we people? ”

Xu Hongtao's compliment, although Mendes shook his head, he was very happy in his heart.

Be.

Mendes' career as an agent is just around the corner. With Porto's good results, it goes without saying that Mourinho's coach is in the market, and Porto's players are also worth a lot of money.

Mendes has actually been linked with the biggest European teams lately.

A lot of clubs are interested in Mourinho. Mendes was indeed a Portuguese agent in Portugal before, but as long as Mourinho goes out and the Porto players go out, then Mendes will instantly become a well-known agent in European football.

"Mr. Xu, you're laughing. By the way, Mr. Xu, I don't know why you came to me?"

Carvalho Ferreira Deco Maniche

Mendes thought about it a lot.

Mendes has almost thought about all his players in Porto, who West Ham has a crush on.

Overall, though, Mendes doesn't want to do business with West Ham. Because these players in Porto have become the sweetheart of European football with the Champions League. Mendes is going to be introduced to a strong team. West Ham are clearly unqualified.

"Copelle Lavillan Lima Ferreira of Maltimer. ”

"Pepe?"

"Yes. ”

Right.

Chen Ping wants to revamp the backline. The current West Ham backline of Daley and Preka have played in the Premier League for many years and have enough experience in the Premier League. But both of them have a drawback, that is, their height is not good.

In League One, Chen Ping has always used a two-back tactic to protect the backline. Plus David James is 1.93 meters tall air defense, so it's not a big problem.

But when you get to the Premier League, it's a lot more difficult.

The middle and lower teams of the Premier League play headers and keep hitting you with headers. Every team basically has a strong center, and it will be difficult to defend such a player. Chen Ping wants to bring in a centre-back with excellent header ability and speed, and of course it must be a centre-back that West Ham can bring in.

Chen Ping has a crush on Pepe.

What do you say about Pepe as a player? When his head is not hot, Pepe is a world-class centre-back. He has the height, the speed, the technique, and even the ability to pass the ball as a defender. Pepe is not afraid of a strong centre-forward, nor is he afraid of a fast, flexible striker.

Perfect centre-back.

In many ways, Pepe is the perfect template for a centre-back.

But once the head is hot, then you will become a butcher of the court. He will make some actions that are not necessary at all, and then get a red card and be banned. This is a typical angel and demon player.

When he was an angel, he was the most reliable big man at the back. But once he becomes a devil, he is the biggest bomb in the backline.

But at present, Pepe is almost the only excellent central defender that Chen Ping can bring in.

"Is it Pepe?"

Mendes was surprised.

Pepe?

A player who has just started playing in the Portuguese Premier League, and a small club like Maltimer. Now Mendes is bent on doing some big business, but I didn't expect a small player like Pepe.

Transfer fee?

How much can Pepe's transfer fee be. His current market price is around £1 million, and even if he talks well, it won't exceed £2 million.

But if you think about it, it's too.

West Ham will not be able to buy Carvalho. Carvalho has risen sharply with Porto's results in the Champions League, and he does not dare to offer without tens of millions of pounds. Would a club like West Ham spend tens of millions of pounds for a defender?

"Mr. Xu, I said something that should not be said. Pepe shouldn't be able to get a labor certification?"

"Yes. But the FA has just passed the Special Genius Clause and West Ham are prepared to use it. ”

"Can you get through?"

"Of course. Otherwise, West Ham would not be prepared to bring in Pepe. ”

Mendes didn't answer immediately, he had a lot to think about. Although Pepe is currently a very average player in Mendes' hands, Mendes has a lot to do this summer. It's a big business of tens of millions of pounds, but Mendes will not be sloppy in any business.

Mendes' success is not accidental.

Any player, Mendes has to think about. It's not just about the money, it's about the future of the players. Pepe is at least the main player in the Portuguese Super League at the moment and can play.

But what if you move to the Premier League?

Pepe is only twenty-one years old, and now is the age of the ball. If he goes to the Premier League and sits on the bench, it will not be good for Pepe's future. These are all things that Mendes has to consider as an agent.

"Mr. Xu, although it looks a little funny, I still have to ask. West Ham brought in Pepe, what promises can Pepe give. Pepe is still young and needs a workout for the game. ”

"That's as it should be, a good agent should think about his players. ”

Xu Hongtao nodded.

The impression of Mendez has changed a lot. Compared to the rumored South American agents, Mendes is still very good. Those South American agents treat their players as if they were goods.

'When I arrived, the West Ham manager assured me of that. He brought in Pepe to use Pepe as a regular for next season. He admires Pepe and thinks he is the perfect centre-back in his heart. By the way, the West Ham manager also said that if Mr. Mendes has a decision, he can call him personally to talk about Pepe. ”

"Okay, I'll think about it. ”

Mendez nodded.

Pepe is just a small player, and as long as Mendes wants to, then there will be no big problems with the transfer. Mendes suddenly remembered the English League Cup that had just ended, so he asked with a smile: "Mr. Xu, after watching the League Cup final this time, there are many young talents in West Ham. Is there a player in there?"

"There are several. ”

"That's fine, Mr. Xu. There are several players who are very strong, and they are all seedlings of future superstars. ”

'Not as good as the players in Porto. ”

"Hahaha. ”

Mendes and Xu complimented each other. Neither of them is a very famous agent in European football now, and they are much worse than those agent predators. But at this moment, both of them had a sense of sympathy.

Who said that two people can't become top brokers in the future.

"Mr. Mendez, I believe that we will have many opportunities to work together in the future. ”

"I hope too. ”
