When Gao Xiaodong was on vacation at home, the world-renowned 19th World Cup kicked off in South Africa.

This is the first time that the World Cup has been held in Africa, and the previous 18 World Cups, except for one in Asia, the other 17 have been held in Europe and the Americas, of which Europe and South America have won 9 championships each, and they are evenly divided.

Although European and South American teams have won nine World Cups each, the European championships have been won on their own home soil, while South American teams have not only won one World Cup in Europe, but the only World Cup held outside of Europe and the United States has also been won by South American teams.

The World Cup in South Africa is a battle for Europe, and they need to prove to the world that Europe is the centre of world football, even if it is a World Cup.

It's a football feast, a stage for stars to perform, a place for scouts from major clubs to find talent, and a place for football stars, celebrities, brokers, beauties, and rich people to communicate, socialize, trade, and exchange tunes with each other.

Gao Xiaodong did not appear at the opening ceremony of the World Cup, but his agent Mendes came to South Africa three days early, the purpose of this agent predator is of course not all for watching the game, for him, watching the game is just a trick, his real purpose is to find a good owner for his players before the summer transfer window arrives.

Sitting with Mendes is Porto's old president Da Costa, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, this is the big three when Porto dominated Europe, and it is also the biggest contributor to Porto's black stores being able to open all over the world.

"Jose, you want a second Gao Xiaodong, Porto really doesn't have it, Gao Xiaodong only has one, and it's too much to sell for 50 million. ”

The owner of the black shop, Da Costa, still regrets Gao Xiaodong's performance this season, but what he regrets is that he did not leave 20% ownership of Porto, so that now Gao Xiaodong is growing rapidly, but he can't get a piece of the pie.

Mourinho and Da Costa have worked together for many years, and I don't know what Da Costa is thinking, said: "Gao's growth is really amazing, I thought it was too risky to buy him for 50 million, but I didn't expect it to start at 80 million euros now." ”

Mendes sighed: "I also regret that I didn't keep some of Gao Xiaodong's portrait rights at that time, Inter Milan's commercial development is very poor, if you go to Real Madrid, the income from portrait rights alone can keep up with his annual salary." ”

Mourinho said depressedly: "The Real Madrid platform is higher than Inter, the annual salary is not less than Inter, and the commercial income is more, I am also familiar with him, reuse, I don't understand, why Gao Xiaodong is still hesitating." ”

Da Costa seemed to know Gao Xiaodong better, and the old pervert pushed his glasses and said slowly: "Jose, I don't think the problem is on this." ”

Mourinho was staring at the opening ceremony of the stadium when he suddenly turned his head and asked: "Chairman, what's the problem?"

Da Costa said: "The problem is Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, haven't you noticed? ”

Mourinho said disdainfully: "This is the power worship consciousness of the Easterners." ”

Da Costa shook his head and said: "Although there is a little bit, but I think it is more that Gao Xiaodong is not willing to be subordinate, his current strength is not superhuman, and his reputation is barely a first-class star, in Real Madrid, Kaka and Ronaldo are both Ballon d'Or winners, Gao Xiaodong can't climb to the head of the two of them anyway, this status is at most the third, how could he give up the boss of Inter and be willing to come to Real Madrid as the third." ”

Méndez also shook his head and said, "I agree with Chairman da Costa, this is the most likely." ”

Although Mourinho had a little bit of this idea, he was immediately abandoned, because he thought that Gao Xiaodong was just 20 years old and had not won any world-class honors, so how could he want to be on the same level as Ronaldo?

But da Costa has a point, this old fox is even buried in the ground below his head, and it is indeed more accurate to see people.

Mourinho said helplessly: "At this stage, I don't have any possibility for Gao Xiaodong to be the core of Real Madrid, Inter Milan is a group of old people who are about to retire, Real Madrid is the best player in the world, even if I say it, no one will listen." ”

Da Costa said: "Why does it have to be Gao Xiaodong, obviously Inter Milan will not sell, even if it is sold, it will not be sold to Real Madrid, besides, the liquidated damages of 80 million are too amazing, really bought, it is not much cheaper than Ronaldo, but Ronaldo is the winner of the Golden Ball, Gao Xiaodong is just a newcomer." ”

Mourinho said: "Chairman, Gao Xiaodong is irreplaceable. ”

Da Costa said: "As far as Gao Xiaodong's current pursuers are concerned, Manchester City is the richest, the Chelsea team has the best run-in, Inter Milan is the most familiar, Real Madrid has the highest platform, the most famous, and it is more favorable in all aspects, but I am afraid that the last thing Gao Xiaodong wants to come to is Real Madrid, unless you and Mendes force him to go to Real Madrid." ”

Mendes sighed: "Isn't it clear to the chairman? Last season, Gao Xiaodong planned to go to Manchester United, but he was persuaded by me, and if I go against his will again this time, I am worried that Gao Xiaodong will have more opinions about me." ”

Da Costa said: "Yes, this kid has a lot of eyes, you can't go against his will again and again, unless you can convince him, but Jose, although Porto doesn't have a second Gao Xiaodong now, but Falcao and, Hulk, J. Luo Du is very good, don't regret missing it. ”

Mendes also strongly recommends his players, "Jose, if you want to play 433, Falcao is more suitable for Real Madrid than Higuain, Di Maria and Hulk can play on the wing. ”

Mourinho was unmoved, saying: "At present, it is still the first to attack Gao Xiaodong, he is the first choice, and everyone else is an alternative." ”

Mendes said: "Okay, I'll take some time to go to China, or call Gao Xiaodong to South Africa to watch the game, I'll talk to him well, but you have to be prepared to activate the liquidated damages." ”

As soon as Mendez finished speaking, the mobile phone rang, Mendez looked at the number displayed, walked out of the box, and after answering the phone, Mendez said: "Jose, chairman, you guys talk first, a friend asked me to sit down." ”

"Go, go, go. ”

Mendes is now the busiest agent, taking hundreds of calls a day, to say less, and Mourinho and Da Costa don't care.

Mendes went out, straightened his neckline, and turned and walked to a box not far away.

Pushing the door in, an old man who was sitting in the box watching the opening ceremony stood up and said, "Mr. Mendes, I haven't seen you for a long time, I look good, and it looks like I have done a lot of business again." ”

Mendes smiled, "Sir Alex, you are really joking, the transfer window has not opened yet, how can there be business to do, otherwise there will be no leisure to watch the World Cup." ”

It was Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson who made an appointment to meet Mendes, and after letting Mendes sit down, Ferguson smiled and said: "Mr. Mendes, who doesn't know that you are now covering the sky with one hand and almost dominating the transfer of half of European football." ”

Mendes smiled: "It's too much of a prize, if the lord says this, I will become a public enemy." ”

Ferguson smiled: "Don't say whether you become a public enemy or not, you offended me a lot last season." ”

Mendes pretended to be puzzled and said, "How could I offend the lord, where does this start." ”

Ferguson sneered: "Don't pretend to be confused for me, it's Gao Xiaodong's business, Gao Xiaodong promised me to come to Manchester United last season, but you and Mourinho got Inter Milan." ”

Mendes even shouted wronged, "Sir, that's fair competition, I don't favor anyone." ”

Ferguson said with a cold face: "Last season has passed, I won't talk about it, Jorge (Mendes), I still have to buy Gao Xiaodong this season, you can't get in the way this time, otherwise, one day I'm at Manchester United, you Mendes don't want to send a player to Manchester United." ”
