The away win over Roma was an unexpected surprise for Inter Milan, who were also held to a seven-point lead over second place by a draw at the hands of Roma's city rivals Lazio. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Inter Milan's schedule is not good, there are many strong opponents behind, but there are only 7 rounds left, and the 7-point lead is very huge, Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina are very strong, but Inter Milan has lost two games is already very good, it is impossible to lose all three games, so after the game, many media believe that Gao Xiaodong's two goals in stoppage time are worth equivalent to a Serie A champion, and Mourinho publicly declared that Gao Xiaodong is better than Ronaldo Messi.

After beating Roma, Inter Milan had no worries and the team was fully focused on preparing for CSKA Moscow's Champions League quarter-final tie.

After training the next day, Mendes went to Gao Xiaodong's residence.

Gao Xiaodong was not surprised by Mendes' arrival, and he also heard that Inter Milan had approached Mendes to negotiate a contract extension for him.

After sitting down to greet him, Mendes said: "Xiaodong, you have been in Milan for almost a year, are you still used to living here, how is it in Portugal?"

Gao Xiaodong didn't think about this problem, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "As long as you have money, it seems that you will live very comfortably anywhere, the only regret is that there is no place to play mahjong and fight the landlord." ”

Mendez was speechless.

Coughing, Mendes said: "Inter Milan wants to renew your contract, have you heard, Chairman Massimo plans to increase your annual salary to 8 million euros for another three years, and the liquidated damages are mentioned to 100 million euros, what do you think?"

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Of course, a salary increase is a great thing, but what is the salary of a player of my level now?"

Mendes said lightly: "The highest annual salary in football today is Ronaldo and Messi, about 13 million euros after tax, the second level is Ibrahimovic and Eto'o, about 11 million euros, the third level is Kaka, Ballack, about 9 million euros, you are the fourth level of about 6 million euros, if you agree to the annual salary of 8 million euros offered by Inter Milan, you will enter the third level of annual salary." ”

Gao Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Mendez, what do you think of this annual salary?"

Mendes smiled: "In fact, the strength, fame, status and annual salary of the player are not completely linked, sometimes it will be more, sometimes it will be lower, it depends on the situation at the time and the ability of our agents, but it is roughly the same, for example, when you transfer to Inter Milan, the annual salary is higher than your fame and status, but this season, the level you play is worthy of your annual salary, and your potential is greater, so it is reasonable for Inter Milan to offer an annual salary of 8 million euros to keep you." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Then you mean that you want me to sign this contract with the team?"

Mendes said: "I just said that in fact, the annual salary of a player is not completely linked to strength, fame, status, sometimes it will be more than some, sometimes it will be lower, although the annual salary offered by Inter Milan to you is reasonable, but now there are many clubs pursuing you, Manchester City has offered more than 10 million 200 euros, and at this time Inter Milan's offer is a little low." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Manchester City's platform is a little lower, do they have a chance to play in the Champions League?"

Mendes said: "Manchester City have a chance of playing in the Champions League and now they are fifth in the competition mainly against Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. But in terms of platform, Manchester United are still pursuing you, and Real Madrid have joined the chase for you, and they will not pay less than Inter Milan every year. ”

Gao Xiaodong was very surprised and said: "Sir Alex Ferguson has always wanted me, I know this, but Real Madrid now has Kaka and Ronaldo, why do you still want me, what position should I play?"

Mendes said: "After Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid, injuries continued, and he couldn't play at the level of Milan, President Florentino hopes that you can go to Real Madrid to replace him, Kaka is 28 years old this year, and the groin injury is difficult to treat, the team doctor said, and there is even the possibility of early retirement, Real Madrid needs to be prepared." ”

Gao Xiaodong said unhappily: "Is this for me to be a substitute?"

Mendes said: "It's not, Real Madrid won't spend a high salary of about 8 million to let you go to the water cooler, President Florentino talked to me, if you go to Real Madrid, you can play the back first, if Kaka doesn't improve, you can replace his position in the front midfield." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "You mean you want me to go to Real Madrid?"

Mendes said: "No, no, I mean, you have a lot of options, some can provide a bigger platform, some can offer a higher annual salary, Inter Milan's annual salary of eight million is actually not much. ”

Gao Xiaodong perked up and said, "Mr. Mendez, do you mean to ask for more money?"

Mendes hurriedly said: "It's not a high salary, it's just been less than a season, and before you get any substantial honors, you start asking for a high salary, the fans will be unhappy, the Italian media is actually prejudiced against Mu Shuai and you, and you can't give them such a handle." ”

Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized: "You mean to wait until we win the championship and then ask for a high salary?"

Mendes glanced at Gao Xiaodong with a wry smile, and said in his heart, this kid only saw money in his eyes, "You don't need us to ask for it, you just need us to wait, think about it, you are now the first scorer in the league, the first in the Champions League scorer list, and finally don't say that you will win the Champions League, as long as you win the league championship, the Champions League will enter the final again, do you think about how many teams will rob you, at that time, do you still need us to have a high salary? Inter Milan will automatically raise the salary." ”

When Gao Xiaodong heard this, he nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "I understand, it's similar to flipping a house, buying a house and putting it there waiting for appreciation." ”

Mendes said: "This is different, you also need to play in the game, with the results can appreciate, without results can only depreciate." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Don't worry, Mr. Mendes, we will definitely be able to reach the semi-finals, but it is difficult to say that the semi-finals will face Barcelona." Speaking of Barcelona, Gao Xiaodong still has palpitations, and now Barcelona is in front of him again, but he can't upgrade, which makes Gao Xiaodong even more regretful.

Mendes said: "There is no way to play against Barcelona, it depends on God's will, but if you can reach the semi-finals, you can play a little better against Barcelona, and it will still appreciate, you are still young, and everyone values your potential." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "I understand, now we just don't renew the contract with the team, but what reason do we want to find?"

Mendes smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, leave this matter to me to deal with, you can rest assured to assist Mu Shuai to play a good game, your future depends on your performance in the game." ”

Gao Xiaodong was still not at ease, and said: "Chairman Moratti won't be angry or suspicious, right? There are also many rumors outside." ”

Mendes smiled: "There are many popular people, rumors will never go away, whatever Moratti thinks, remember, as long as you keep winning on the field, the initiative will always be in our hands, from now on, to the end of the season for more than a month, your performance will directly determine whether you have millions more euros a year, or stay the same." ”

When it came to money, Gao Xiaodong's heart came up and said, "Understood, Mr. Mendes, I will do my best to play the last 14 games." ”

Mendes stood up, patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder, and said: "From the first time I saw you, I was optimistic about you, I felt that you were not a thing in the pool, your future should be comparable to Ronaldo, don't let me down, I'm leaving." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Mr. Mendez, let's eat here before leaving." ”

Mendes shook his head and said, "No, I have an appointment with Chairman Moratti, so I'll come back later." ”

Mendes left abruptly, and Gao Xiaodong immediately called Monkey and Chen Qiang, told them about Mendes' visit, and asked if it was better to renew his contract with Inter Milan now.

After careful discussion, Monkey, Chen Qiang and Zhang Qi told Gao Xiaodong that waiting is the best choice, because judging from the current situation, the defense of the Inter Milan League is almost a foregone conclusion, there is no suspense in reaching the semifinals of the Champions League, and there is no problem in reaching the final of the Italian Cup, so even if you can't beat Barcelona, Inter Milan will be successful this season, and Gao Xiaodong's value will only rise and not fall.

Gao Xiaodong is now completely relieved, putting aside the renewal and transfer of the contract, and began to prepare for the Champions League with all his heart.
