In Madrid at the beginning of September, the autumn weather is crisp, and the cool breeze in the morning is somewhat chilly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Real Madrid suffered from Valencia in the first round of the league after hating the Super Cup.

With Angullo's seventh-minute stunner, the Bats defeated the Galactic Battleship 1-0 at home.

Barcelona beat Sevilla 2-1 away, Celta Vigo beat Osasuna 3-0 away, and Las Palmas beat Real Mallorca 3-0 at home, and the first round of La Liga can be described as an upset.

Deportivo La Coruna, on the other hand, beat Valladolid 4-0 at home to temporarily lead the standings.

After the first round of La Liga matches in the new season, it was temporarily suspended for two weeks in order to accommodate the national team competition.

But for Atletico Madrid, the impact is not huge.

Because so far, Atletico Madrid has only one international, and that is Jankulovski.

This is really embarrassing, because the Sheets have performed well in the past period, and many players in the team have been called for to be selected for the national team, but they have not been selected for various reasons.

For example, the twin stars of Villa and Torres do shine in China, but at present, the Spanish national team has Raul, Morientes, Tristan and other La Liga stars on the front line, and there is no place for them at all.

Moreover, the twins have only proven themselves in La Liga and the Copa del Rey so far, and they have not been able to convince Camacho to give up those long-established stars for their sake.

As for Kaka and Baptista, there are no small calls for being included in the Brazilian national team, but they are not included in this squad.

Carvalho, Cech, Srna and other players, although they have also been closely watched by the national team, have not been able to receive invitations.

This made the Atletico Madrid players somewhat disappointed, but for Gao Han, it was a good thing.

Without an international, Atletico Madrid has two more weeks to prepare than any other team.

But considering the emotions of the players, Gao Han did not arrange a lot of training in the past two weeks, and devoted more energy to cultivating the team's tacit understanding and running in the team's lineup, even at the expense of giving him a holiday.

In addition to training, Gao Han and the coaching staff will also organize some activities, such as dinners.

Taking advantage of the completion of the renovation of the new house and the housewarming of the new house, Gao Han invited the players of the first team to his home in Lafinca, which was called a dinner party, but in fact he was recruiting labor for free to decorate his new home.

The new house has a large construction area, a large surrounding garden, and the overall architectural style is inclined to modern, which makes all the players envious, and they have asked if there is still land or villas for sale and transfer around.

Therefore, Jorge Mendes, who was in charge of the gesture of buying a house in Alpine, immediately became the most popular.

The Portuguese agent is indeed quite strong, and with the help of Gao Han, he has laid a solid foundation in Atletico Madrid on the one hand, including Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Petr Cech, Srna, Carvalho, Deco and Marcos Senna.

In addition, taking advantage of the previous transfers of Deco and Carvalho, he managed to reach Porto.

Today, Jorge Mendes has not lost the limelight to José Vega in Portuguese football, and in Spain, with the transfer of Hugo Leal and a number of Atletico Madrid players, he has become an emerging force in Spanish football that cannot be underestimated.

Mendes' business is booming, and Gao Han is also benefiting.

Finally getting rid of the entanglement of the players, Mendes found Gao Han in the gym.

"Every time I see your pool, I only have one feeling. Mendes smiled and walked in through the door.

"What does it feel?"

"It's so unenvironmentally friendly!"

Gao Han immediately laughed, it was too big, wasting water, and naturally it was not environmentally friendly.

This guy is turning around and slapping on the back!

"Are they all planning to buy land and houses in the surrounding area?" asked Gao Han.

Mendes nodded, "The economic crisis in the United States is not much better in Europe, and there have always been calls that the Spanish government wants to promote real estate, housing prices will rise, and it is the right time to buy." ”

Gao Han smiled slightly, "Then you have to spend a little bit." ”

Mendes was noncommittal, whether he was a client or not, but he was always there to ask for his help.

"There's something I'd like to ask for your opinion. The Portuguese looked behind him to make sure no one was approaching, before he spoke.

"What's the matter?"

"I've already taken care of the company's finances, and by August, the company will be able to pay about 4 million euros in dividends. ”

Million?

Gao Han was taken aback, that is, two million euros per person.

Oh my God, it's too good to be an agent, right?

However, it is not surprising to think about it further, because Hugo Leal transferred to Barcelona and sold 15 million euros, which is 1.5 million euros according to the agent's 10% commission.

In addition, players such as Deco, Carvalho, and Kaka are all operated by Mendes, although the commission has to be shared with other agents, but the overall calculation is still quite considerable.

Not only that, but agents have commissions for player contract renewals, signing commercial sponsorship contracts, etc.

Of course, Gao Han knew that the company would definitely not only earn the four million, but also leave a sum of money to maintain its operation, and at the same time have to hire people to take care of the daily affairs of the players.

The reason why Kaka gave up his previous agent in Brazil and chose Mendes was because his previous agent Ribeiro was not attentive to him, especially after he transferred to Spain, Ribeiro could not stay in Spain.

So, Mendes' business has expanded, the roster has grown, and the employees have definitely had to keep up.

In this case, there is also a dividend of two million euros, which really surprises Gao Han.

However, in comparison, Mendes is still a small fight.

It's like Jose Vega, who runs a transfer of Figo, and the commission is as high as several million, and if you count the income from Figo's commercial sponsorship contract in the past year, it will definitely exceed 10 million.

The same is true of Zinedine Zidane, the commercial effect of this superstar is absolutely amazing.

"You know, in Brazil, there is a general trend of player operation with third-party ownership. ”

Gao Han nodded, when he was in Brazil, he heard Kaka's agent at the time Ribeiro mention it.

It is said that all the stars who have become famous have basically third-party ownership.

"What do you think?"

"From what I know, there is a very strong demand for teams in the Portuguese Super League, including Porto. ”

Gao Han immediately understood what he meant, and secretly praised in his heart, this guy is too shrewd.

He was no longer satisfied with being an agent, and he wanted to expand his career further.

Compared with the agent's commission, buying potential players, operating to play in the Portuguese Super League, and then selling them to the four major European leagues after becoming famous, it is definitely a good business with a lot of profits, and even tens of millions of profits.

For others, the biggest risk in this transaction is the players, but with Gao Han, this risk is the least.

Seeing that Gao Han hadn't spoken for a long time, Mendes thought that Gao Han couldn't pass the psychological level, and immediately explained on the side.

"In fact, over the years, European football has not only been commercialised, but also capitalized, and for many teams, the player has become more than just a role on the pitch, but also an asset to the club, and in the Premier League, their banks even allow clubs to take out mortgage on player ownership. ”

"And this kind of thing?" Gao Han smacked his tongue a little.

Mendes smiled and nodded, "Real Madrid's introduction of Figo and Zidane is also in capital operation, Florentino even let it out, from now on, Real Madrid will introduce a superstar every year, without capital operation, where will they get the money?"

When Gao Han heard this, he could only say that the water in this line was too deep.

"I know it's a bit ...... to be involved in buying and selling third-party ownership of players."

Mendes stared at Gao Han and saw that his face was as usual, before he continued: "But, you should understand, most people do this, Brazil, Argentina, Africa, there are too many such things, and even the players themselves are happy to do this, so if our company wants to develop, sooner or later we have to take this road." ”

Gao Han understands that this may be the rules of the game in the broker industry.

"And what do you want to do?"

Mendes knew that he had persuaded Gao Han, and smiled slightly, "Don't pay dividends for the time being." ”

Gao Han thought about it, but he had no opinion.

…………

…………

After Gao Han negotiated with Mendes, he returned to the living room, only to find that the players had gathered in a spacious sun room on the second floor, sitting around in the warm sunlight, as if they were in a meeting.

When Gao Han got closer, he realized that he was discussing the problem.

"Pep, what do you think is the most valuable experience of your career over the years?"

Torres asked Pep Guardiola in the crowd with humility.

Although the two are not in the same position, Pep Guardiola is a legend in Spanish football.

"The most valuable experience?" Guardiola smiled slightly, thinking for a moment, "that should be persistence." ”

"Persistence?"

Many of the young players present, even budding players such as Deco and Carvalho, were a little surprised.

"Yes, it's not just about fighting until the last second on the pitch, it's about usual. ”

Pep Guardiola spoke very softly, "Everyone, whether it is a player or an ordinary person, hopes that there can be a shortcut in life, to be able to be a lucky person, but in fact, this is impossible, there can be no shortcut in life, and there is no football." ”

Many of the youngsters looked thoughtful, while some of the players clearly understood.

"Professional players to put it bluntly, is a skill that practice makes perfect, we have been trained since childhood, to become professional players, we must play every day, no matter what weather, what environment, what difficulties encountered, we must persevere, can not have the slightest slack, a slack, the skill will fall. ”

"I've been through a lot of superstars like Ronaldo and Figo, and I dare say they've all been the hardest working and most persistent players I've ever seen, even Ronaldo, who worked harder than anyone else during his time at Barcelona, but injuries and successes over the years have changed him a lot. ”

Kiko, who was sitting next to him, listened and sighed with embarrassment, "The injury brought us not only pain, but also interrupted our persistence, and the slackness during the recuperation period made us often need to invest more energy and more persistent will to return to normal after recovery." ”

"Our enemies are not so much wounded as their own will. ”

It was only then that everyone remembered that Kiko, like Ronaldo, was also a player who was suffering from injuries. (To be continued.) )
