Chapter 447: Three Minutes of Face

From the airport to the InterContinental Yenching Hotel, the players had lunch accompanied by personnel from the Yenching Football Association and Halcyon Sports Company. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After dinner, under the leadership of Gao Xiaodong, the players of Inter Milan went to visit Silk Street together.

There are a lot of copycat goods in the shops on Silk Street, and the appearance is no different from the real one, but the low price is frightening, plus the boss can speak well, and almost every big-name player in Inter Milan has two copycat mobile phones, and Balotelli bought two copycat iPhones and two copycat BlackBerry phones.

Gao Xiaodong did not stop it, none of these teammates are bad for money, and if they are willing to spend money, let them spend it well, which is equivalent to contributing to socialist construction.

Of course, while shopping, there are also fans who come to ask for autographs, and shopping obviously has the effect of lifting the mood, as long as there are fans coming forward, the stars of Inter Milan have not refused, quite friendly.

After shopping, Mourinho thought that there had been a lot of communication with the fans today, and gave up the activity of going to the Inter Milan store to interact with the fans, and directly asked the players to go back to their rooms to rest.

In the afternoon of the second day, Inter Milan had their first training session at the Yenching Olympic Sports Center.

The training session was open to the public, with around 3,000 fans and more than 100 journalists coming to the stadium to watch Inter Milan train, about six times as many as Lazio on the first day of training.

In addition to the Inter Milan stars who trained, the most eye-catching was Gao Bo, the head coach of the Chinese national team, who sat in the stands to watch Inter Milan train.

Gao Bo is a very studious local coach who will go to business exchanges with "high-level peers" at every opportunity, and when Manchester United came to China last month, Gao Bo spent more than an hour with Sir Alex Ferguson in Jiangnan province.

This time, Gao Bo hopes to be able to communicate with the madman Mourinho.

Towards the end of the training, Gao Bo walked down the stands with an interpreter and stopped Mourinho when he walked to the parking lot, "Hello Coach Jose, I'm Gao Bo, I want to talk to you?"

Mourinho didn't know Gao Bo and thought he was an ordinary fan, so he ignored it and continued to walk towards the parking lot.

The Inter Milan official who was accompanying Mourinho whispered to Mourinho: "This is Gao Bo, the head coach of the Chinese national team, and I want to communicate with you." ”

Mourinho paused, glanced at Gao Bo, and said, "Let's talk about it after training tomorrow." ”

After saying that, Mourinho didn't save face at all, turned around and left.

Gao Bo didn't expect Mourinho to be so arrogant, and he didn't even care about him, the head coach of the Chinese team, just like treating ordinary fans, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't even notice Gao Xiaodong passing by.

Gao Xiaodong saw that Gao Bo didn't greet him, nor did he take the initiative to talk to Gao Bo, and walked over quickly.

The next day, because Mourinho and Moratti were going to attend a charity banquet, Inter Milan arrived at the Olympic Sports Center two hours earlier than the stipulated training time.

After the training, Mourinho completely forgot what he told Gao Bo yesterday about communicating after today's training, and led the team to leave the Olympic Sports Center directly.

Gao Bo came to the Olympic Sports Center at the normal time and waited for Inter Milan to come and train, but he and the translator waited in the office for almost an hour before they knew that Inter Milan had finished training.

Gao Bo was so angry that his face turned blue, he only communicated with Manchester United Ferguson last month, in terms of qualifications and status, Ferguson is not inferior to Mourinho at all, but Ferguson is very approachable, there is no feeling of superiority at all, he never expected Mourinho to be so arrogant, gave him two closed doors.

It's hard for Gao Bo to do it below, if he stops here, this person will be thrown home, if he continues to look for Mourinho, once Mourinho refuses again, Gao Bo's face will be lost to the Atlantic.

After thinking about it, Gao Bo still decided to make a breakthrough to Gao Xiaodong.

Although Gao Bo and Gao Xiaodong know each other, the relationship is not thick, Gao Bo called Gao Xiaodong's agent Chen Qiang and said what he meant, hoping that Gao Xiaodong can say a few kind words in front of Mourinho, and let Mourinho communicate with him, no matter how long the time is, as long as Mourinho communicates with himself, Gao Bo's face will be recovered.

Chen Qiang personally called and asked Gao Xiaodong to persuade Mourinho and ask him to give Gao Bo a chance to step down.

Gao Xiaodong couldn't pretend not to know now, so he had to go to Mourinho and tell Mourinho what Gao Bo wanted to ask him for.

When Mourinho heard this, he was surprised and said: "You actually spoke for him, he became the head coach of the national team but didn't call you." ”

This matter is very complicated, Gao Xiaodong didn't know how to tell Mourinho, so he had to smile bitterly: "You can't blame him for this?"

Mourinho sneered: "Whether you blame him or not, even a player like you is not recruited into the national team, what else can he learn from me if he asks me?"

Gao Xiaodong sighed: "It's just a face." ”

Mourinho finally nodded as if he didn't understand, and said: "Okay, after training tomorrow, I will give him a face." ”

Before the end of the training, Gao Bo first got off the stands and waited on the sidelines, and first greeted Gao Xiaodong in Chinese, "Thank you, Xiaodong." ”

Gao Xiaodong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, Director Gao, you can talk to Mu Shuai, I'll go take a bath first." ”

Gao Xiaodong went to take a shower with his teammates, and Gao Bo walked towards Mourinho and said, "Hello Coach Jose." ”

Mourinho nodded with a serious expression: "Hello." ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to guide me. Gao Bo said.

Mourinho still didn't smile and said: "You're welcome. ”

Gao Bo added: "I have communicated with Loew, Arsene Wenger, and Professor Ferguson, and I feel that I have benefited a lot, I wonder what advice you can give me on how to select players?"

Mourinho said with a slight sarcasm: "I can't even look down on a player like Gao Xiaodong, so it's hard for me to give you any advice." ”

Gao Bo was a little embarrassed and said: "I think the Chinese team players generally lack confidence, can you say how to build confidence for the players?"

Mourinho said: "Confidence can only be gained by winning, I can't go into the details of the rest, well, I have to attend a press conference, let's talk about it next time." ”

With that, Mourinho turned and left.

From meeting and greeting to answering questions, Mourinho only gave Gao Bo less than three minutes in total, and this kind of exchange seems to give Gao Bo face, but in fact it is no different from slapping him in the face.

Gao Bo watched Mourinho leave in a daze, his face was red and white, and now he really understood why Mourinho was called a madman, and only then did he understand that in the eyes of a world-class coach like Mourinho, he was nothing, if it wasn't for Gao Xiaodong to intercede with him, Mourinho might not even give him three minutes of face.
