When Rooney made a transfer, Gao Xiaodong had already dealt with European affairs and was ready to return to China for a vacation.

Before leaving, Inter Milan's president Moratti held a banquet to see off Gao Xiaodong in his mansion, and Inter Milan's senior management, including managers Blanca, Aurelio and others, attended the banquet.

Gao Xiaodong has not renewed his contract yet, and when he leaves, Inter Milan can only negotiate with Gao Xiaodong about renewing his contract through Mendes, which is very difficult for Inter Milan.

Therefore, Inter Milan is very keen to get some promises from Gao Xiaodong before he leaves Milan, even if it is verbal.

Gao Xiaodong is the hero of Inter Milan's winning the treble, and now is the time for Inter Milan to ask Gao Xiaodong to renew his contract, and Inter Milan's senior management has toasted Gao Xiaodong to express Inter Milan's respect and gratitude to him.

After the banquet, the rest of the club left, but Moratti left Gao Xiaodong behind.

"Xiaodong, in fact, I want to apologize to you. ”

Moratti personally poured Gao Xiaodong a glass of soda and said very solemnly.

The Chairman was serious. Gao Xiaodong was startled, and said in his heart What's wrong with this old man, I don't remember what I was pitting me, and I apologize.

Moratti sat down and sighed: "Last summer, you came to Inter, I didn't agree at that time, it was Mourinho who insisted on his opinion, and finally signed you, 50 million to sign a young man under 20 years old, I really don't have the courage, after you came, I also doubt whether you can play your own value, so I didn't give you much help, please don't blame." ”

Gao Xiaodong listened to Moratti's words very sincerely, and said: "The chairman doesn't have to blame himself, in fact, looking at the transaction I transferred at that time, it was normal at first, and then it became the vindictiveness of Mu Shuai and Sir Alex Ferguson, my transfer fee and annual salary are a bit inflated, it is normal for you to be unhappy, the important thing is that we work together very happily, you are a good chairman and a good person." ”

Moratti listened to Gao Xiaodong, and felt that Gao Xiaodong's words were too good in the eyes of people, "Yes, we have a very happy cooperation, although you still have a two-year contract with the club, but I think your annual salary is too incompatible with your contribution and strength, and I hope you can stay at Inter Milan for many years, so I asked Blanca to send you a contract extension, I heard that you haven't signed yet, what do you think are still not satisfied, you just mention it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely meet your requirements." ”

Moratti smiled kindly, Gao Xiaodong felt that even if he asked for an annual salary of 15 million euros now, maybe Moratti would agree, but Gao Xiaodong still gave up this impatient idea, and said: "Chairman, I am still satisfied with the contract, all I am waiting for is to wait for the new coach to be confirmed, to see the team's reinforcements, I hope to win more championships." ”

Moratti smiled: "Your thoughts are the same as mine, my biggest dream is to reproduce the big international era that my father pioneered back then, do you see this road in front of my house, it's called Angelo Boulevard, named after my father, so you can rest assured, we will definitely strengthen the team and make us stronger than last season." As for the coach, it's basically decided, and now we're in talks with coach Benitez, and if nothing else, we can sign it this week. ”

"Is Benitez?" Gao Xiaodong knew that Benitez was the target of Inter Milan, but he didn't expect that he was about to sign a contract.

Moratti smiled: "It's Benitez, and only a coach like Benitez Capello can be worthy of Inter Milan, I believe that Benitez can lead Inter Milan to defend the Champions League and Serie A, in the negotiations, Coach Benitez also made a request, you must stay in Inter Milan, I told him, you will definitely not leave." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Thank you for the chairman's trust, Benitez is a good coach and suitable for Inter. ”

Moratti said: "When Benitez signs a contract with us, he will go to Huaguo to talk to you about his ideas, and our recruitment will be carried out according to his ideas." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "I may go to South Africa to watch the World Cup during the holidays, but if Coach Benitez contacts me, I will have a good talk with Coach Benitez." ”

Moratti said: "Then when are you going to complete the contract renewal?"

Gao Xiaodong has a big head, and he is almost half a circle around the earth, why hasn't the old man forgotten this stubble, he said helplessly: "Let's decide after I finish talking with the new coach." ”

Moratti has been dragged from the winter break to the summer transfer by Gao Xiaodong and Mendes, this time he has a long heart, and said: "Xiaodong, if you think the annual salary is still low, you can mention it, even if the club can't add it to you, I will make it up for you personally, but you must stay, maybe you are not Ronaldo, Adriano The kind of talented player, but I think you have more winning temperament, you can bring more championships to Inter Milan." ”

Gao Xiaodong thought to himself, Chairman, you have a really good vision, I am a unique man in the world, but no matter how good you say, I can't agree casually, so he said: "Chairman, I don't have too high requirements for the annual salary, you can rest assured, after meeting with the new coach, I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible." ”

Moratti heard Gao Xiaodong say very vaguely, still not at ease, said: "Xiaodong, although Real Madrid is stronger and more famous than our Inter, but you can only play back there, you have seen who played back and won the Golden Ball Award, besides, in Real Madrid, you can only be the number three person, Ronaldo Kaka's status is higher than you, but you are in Inter, you are the top card, Zanetti retires and you are the captain, not much better than going to Real Madrid." ”

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chairman, I never thought of going to Real Madrid." ”

"Yes, don't go to a team that looks down on us, work hard at Inter Milan and prove to Mourinho that Inter can still win the title without him. ”

Moratti was very happy, and his heart was relieved, at least Gao Xiaodong has not left the idea of going to Real Madrid now.

After talking about the most important contract renewal issue, Moratti and Gao Xiaodong chatted for a while, and Gao Xiaodong said goodbye and went back.

The next morning, when Gao Xiaodong was about to go to the airport with Xiao Le, the club manager Blanca came in a business car, and there were two tall and strong men in the car, one black and one white, and after getting out of the car, it looked like black and white impermanence.

Blanca pointed to the black and white impermanence and said to Gao Xiaodong: "You are too famous now, the chairman is worried about your safety, Chris and Mel are the two bodyguards that the chairman invited for you, both of them are from special forces, and they have received strict professional training, which can completely protect your safety." ”

Gao Xiaodong and Xiao Le considered hiring bodyguards, but bodyguards have a lot to do with each other, they don't have a lot of connections in Europe, and they don't know where to find powerful and reliable bodyguards, so they have been delayed, but they didn't expect President Moratti to think so thoughtfully, and they all invited bodyguards

"Thank you, Chair, thank you, manager. Gao Xiaodong hurriedly thanked.

Blanca smiled: "You're welcome, you are the asset of the club, and the chairman can't let the club's assets be in an unsafe state." ”

Gao Xiaodong laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll rest assured, let's go." ”

Blanca commanded two bodyguards to help Gao Xiaodong put his luggage in the car, and then drove Gao Xiaodong and Xiao Le to Mponsa Airport.

Two hours later, Gao Xiaodong and Xiao Le left Milan with two bodyguards and flew back to Gao Xiaodong's hometown of Huaguo.
