Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson's office

…… Not tall, strong, with good speed, rough technique, not fast action, but outstanding shooting ability, scored 24 goals this season, is the top scorer in the Portuguese Super League, but Manchester United first team may be difficult to have his place, buy, loan, put in the second team, or play as a substitute.

The rosacea scout who once appeared on the March Stadium was introducing Gao Xiaodong to Ferguson, and Ferguson listened while watching Gao Xiaodong's highlights, and after the rosacea scout finished speaking, he still stared at the video and didn't say a word.

Opposite Alex Ferguson, a young man in his early thirties, wearing a pair of well-rimmed glasses and thick curly hair, said: "Uncle Martin, who is this little guy's agent, can you let him come to my company? I think he is good, he can score 24 goals in the Portuguese Super League at the age of 19, although there are a lot of penalties and long-range shots, but he is also very good." ”

"Jason!" Ferguson finally took his eyes off the video and said sternly: "He's Mendes' man, Mendes is not easy to mess with." ”

Jason. Ferguson, Ferguson's youngest son, is now an agent, relying on his father's shadow to open an agency, with many young players from Manchester United, but compared to his radiant father, Jason can only be regarded as mediocre.

"It's Mendes again. Jason said stupidly, he really didn't dare to provoke this predator in the European transfer market who had a good relationship with his father.

Ferguson looked at Martin, the rosacea scout. Alex Ferguson, his own brother and Manchester United's chief scout, but Ferguson's eyes were not satisfied, "Martin, a player who has scored 24 goals in the Portuguese Super League, even if it is all penalties and long-range shots, will he come to play in Manchester United's development team?

Martin was a little embarrassed and said: "I think his characteristics are similar to Rooney and Anderson, very comprehensive, but the technique is still a little rough, and there is no place in the first team." ”

Ferguson said unhappily: "If you don't have a place, you won't buy it, such a player will have emotions when he comes to Manchester United to play as a substitute." ”

Martin said: "He rose too fast, he was still in the Portuguese league last season, and the early part of this season was also very average, I watched him play a game, and his technical awareness was very bad, but I didn't expect it to suddenly play in the second half, with goals and assists, I'm afraid that he can't continue this state, just like that Zhuo Dongfang." ”

Hearing the name Zhuo Dongfang, Ferguson frowned and said, "Then observe for another year, isn't it only 19 years old?"

Martin said: "Yes, but now with Rexos' miraculous title, he has attracted the attention of many giants, I heard that some time ago, Wenger asked him, it is estimated that he will be contested by many teams in the summer." ”

Ferguson said: "Is he in the national team now?"

Martin shook his head, "No, I don't know what's going on, he wasn't selected for the national team, not even for the national youth team." ”

Ferguson said: "Maybe the rise is too fast, I didn't have time, if he didn't make it to the national team, he would definitely not be able to apply for a labor certificate, and he could only buy it on loan." ”

Jason interjected, "Isn't there a genius clause? With your influence, it's not trivial to pass the genius clause." ”

Ferguson glared at the unsuccessful young son and said, "Shut up! Can the genius clause be used casually, he has not played in the Europa League, he has not played in the World Youth Championship, he has not played in the national team, and the genius clause is used for him, what do you want me to use to convince the Ministry of Labor." ”

Jason bowed his head and stopped talking.

Ferguson thought for a moment and dialed Carlos, an assistant coach. Queiroz's phone called him to his office.

"Carlos, Martin just brought the information of the Chinese teenager, but he has been following this teenager for a short time, you are very familiar with the Portuguese league, tell me what you think. Queiroz glanced at Jason and said, "Although I reminded Martin scouts to observe Gao Xiaodong, I am not very familiar with him, so I'll go through the information first." ”

Ten minutes later, Queiroz said: "This teenager is really a controversial player, the previous year the president of Da Costa went away and loaned him to Lexos, and it was Lexus who snatched the championship trophy. ”

Ferguson was stunned for a moment and said, "Da Costa also has a time when he is out of sight?"

Queiroz said: "Yes, this Chinese teenager has gone away, the advantages and disadvantages of this teenager are still very prominent, he is very comprehensive, very strong, and has a strong shooting ability, but his dribbling ability is average, the breakthrough mainly depends on the body, the ball is still slower, the imagination is average, and the Premier League with fast rhythm and speed may not be able to adapt, but if this aspect can be improved, the future will be very bright." ”

Ferguson said: "How about Ronaldo, Nani, Anderson?"

Queiroz said: "It's not comparable to Ronaldo, who came out of 20 years, it's about the same as Nani and Anderson, but he hasn't experienced a big scene of exercise, and I'm afraid it's a bit risky to buy at a high price." ”

Because of the mistake of signing Zhuo Dongfang, Ferguson was a little sensitive to the players of Huaguo, and said: "Let David ask the price of this kid first, he was not selected for the national team, he can't get a labor certificate, you can talk to Porto slowly, the price is right, the price is not suitable, just wait a year to see, our priority now is to prepare for the Champions League, after the game, we will seriously consider this matter." ”

Queiroz and Martin also paid attention to Gao Xiaodong for a short time, and they really didn't know enough about Gao Xiaodong, so they didn't say anything more when they heard Ferguson say this.

……

Almost at the same time, in the villa of the president of Porto, Porto da Costa, Costa and Méndez were also sitting together drinking coffee.

This is the first time Da Costa has met Mendes since his punishment, although he was sentenced to two years out of football, and Porto affairs have been handed over to general manager Diogo, but Da Costa is still in control behind the scenes.

Mendez looked at Da Costa and said with a smile, "The chairman is in good spirits." ”

"It's a little blow to me, and I put aside the club stuff and I'm just playing golf, fishing, going to Switzerland to watch the European Championships, going to Brazil," da Costa laughs. ”

Mendes laughed, "Let's take two years off." ”

Da Costa said leisurely: "But there is one thing that cannot be solved, I still don't have the heart to go on vacation." ”

Mendes smiled: "You mean Gao Xiaodong." ”

Da Costa said: "Yes, this kid won the bet with me in advance, and now it's time for him to go back to Porto." ”

Mendes smiled: "At the end of this season, the loan contract will also end, Gao Xiaodong is already a member of Porto"

Da Costa said: "Now Gao Xiaodong's contract is only one and a half years left, and I want to renew his contract for another three years. ”

Mendes said: "On the issue of contract renewal, I will tell Gao Xiaodong when I go back, but I want to remind the chairman that now Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan are all paying attention to Gao Xiaodong, and Rexos also hopes to keep Gao Xiaodong, whether he will renew his contract with Porto, it is difficult to say." ”

"Okay, you have a good talk with Gao Xiaodong, the conditions are whatever he wants, as long as it is within the range that Porto can bear, I can agree, other teams want Gao Xiaodong, let them contact Porto, Jorge, I don't want them to contact you first. ”

Mendes is not surprised that Gao Xiaodong is being concerned by the giants, Gao Xiaodong and Lexus have made such a big move, it is strange that there are no giants who fancy it, but he doesn't want to let Gao Xiaodong leave immediately, because Costa doesn't think that those giants will now make up their minds to buy Gao Xiaodong at a high price.

If you transfer to the Premier League, you can't apply for a labor certificate, you can't play, Serie A can only buy two non-EU players per season, and there are only three non-EU players in the 25-man squad in La Liga, because of the above reasons, Costa doesn't think that Inter Milan and Real Madrid, who are eager to achieve results, will use their precious places on Gao Xiaodong's body, and Manchester United Arsenal even if they want to buy, if they can't buy it, then they can only be loaned, if they are on loan, who wants to spend so much money.

Of course, Mendez knew these things as well, but he also had his plans, and when he heard this, he got up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask his opinion, this kid always has some strange ideas." ”

Da Costa waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really want to talk to someone for a while." ”

"Good. ”

Mendes sat down slowly, took a cigar from the coffee table, cut off the cap, lit it, and smoked it slowly.
