After confirming that Mourinho had indeed met with Moratti and Florentino, Arthur came to his office at Blackburn Rovers the next day and sat alone for two hours. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Abby, the president's secretary, walked in with a tea tray filled with the mango juice she had just squeezed.

After being with Arthur for so long, she knew that her boss didn't like coffee, red wine and other drinks, but especially preferred drinks like juice and cola.

Arthur saw that Abby only nodded slightly, his forehead was still frowning, and he kept rubbing his forehead with his hands as he drank the juice.

Abby asked softly, "Arthur, is there anything distressing about you?" Does Jose really want to go? ”

"It's not certain yet, but it's a possibility." Arthur sighed, placed the juice cup back in the juice tray, and wiped his hands with a wet towel.

Abby blinked and asked confusedly, "What's wrong?" Didn't we talk to Jose about a new contract before? Is Jose asking too much for the new contract, or does he have other requirements? ”

Arthur pursed his lips and said magnificently: "The treatment is nothing, as long as it meets my expectations, not to mention the annual salary of five million a year, even eight million, I am willing to give it, plus all kinds of bonuses and benefits, even if it is tens of millions, I don't care." But if Jose picks a corner this season, I'm really tricky. In fact, the head coach who is close to Jose's level does not say that he has a lot of grabs, but he has almost two palms. However, these people are optimistic about Blackburn's future, but they are afraid of mistakes, and most of the opinions they give are the way to develop steadily. ”

"Isn't it good to develop steadily?" Abby wondered, in her opinion, wouldn't it be best for a club to move forward steadily?

Arthur said, "Yes, not good! ”

Abby was staggered.

Arthur explained: "You should know why I want to make football movies, make football games, build satellite clubs around the world, and buy sports brands outside of Blackburn Rovers, in order to integrate resources and speed up Blackburn's development. If you really have to do what those people say, steady and steady, step by step, and by the time their plan is halfway through, this football market will long have no cake that we need. ”

Like Abu's Chelsea and Abu Dhabi's Manchester City, their rise has involved an aggressive strategy, and in fact only such a strategy can achieve some success in a short period of time.

Abby nodded thoughtfully.

Arthur sighed: "In another three or four years we can start to develop steadily, because then our foundation is already solid, just like Barcelona now, we only need one Ronaldinho, only one or two excellent results, and we can revive all of a sudden." So what Blackburn needs at the moment is a more radical personality who can stabilize the winds and waves encountered in the process of rapid development. ”

'So you picked Mourinho from the start, even if Blackburn Rovers weren't bad in the Championship before. Abby also understood Arthur's train of thought.

"Well, yes, so I'm not worried about Jose leaving, what I'm concerned about is, after he's gone, are we going to continue this aggressive strategy? Keep the team on the cusp? Arthur couldn't make up his mind.

"Arthur, in fact, it is a good thing that Mourinho is gone at this time, I don't know if you have noticed that there have been some discordant factors in the team's dressing room at the beginning of this season?" Abby prompted.

"You mean...... Portuguese Gang? Arthur was quick to react.

This season, because of the introduction of Figo, there are four Portuguese internationals in Blackburn's squad, namely Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, Carvalho and Deco, all four of whom are the main players of the team, even Figo, who has played the least games, has played 16 games for Blackburn this season.

These four Portugal internationals, together with Jose Mourinho as the team's manager, have formed a big force in the dressing room, and it is difficult for the England gang + Blackburn Rovers led by Duff and Lampard to suppress them.

"I see." Arthur understood that Abby was reminding him that the overly powerful Portuguese gang would be an unstable factor in the dressing room.

This is a hidden danger for Blackburn Rovers at present, because Arthur has introduced a lot of foreign players in order to quickly improve the strength of the team, making the current Blackburn Rovers more like a multinational force, Blackburn Rovers only have Duff, Martin Taylor and No. 3 goalkeeper Lewis in the first team, and England's homegrown gang only has Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Bentley, once the Portuguese gang really wants to get more power in the dressing room, then there will really be huge fluctuations.

Arthur thought for a moment, even if he realized this hidden danger, it was not easy to solve it for a while, so he had to give up thinking for a while, and waved his left hand at Abby.

"You go out, by the way, see if Jose is here, and if he does, just let him come to my office."

Abby walked out of the office and closed the door, leaving Arthur alone frowning and thinking about the future of the team.

As Arthur finished the juice, there was a knock on the office door, and a familiar figure pushed the door and walked in.

"Arthur."

Arthur raised an eyebrow and took a closer look at the subordinate he had always trusted.

High eyebrows, wide eyes, thick lips and straight nose, a decent and expensive suit on him, outstanding temperament, a lively male god uncle!

"Jose, I want to talk to you today about the new contract." Arthur motioned for the other party to sit down, and then asked directly.

Mourinho kept looking at Arthur after he came in, and found that the other party's face was not good, but fortunately, the other party's initial question was not to question himself, but to continue to want to renew the contract with him.

Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

Arthur exhaled and said, "I don't know if there is anything else you are dissatisfied with about the new contract we discussed before?" ”

Mourinho also laughed, they are all smart people, so they don't go around in circles.

"Arthur, the terms of your contract are incomparably better for any manager. But I'm not satisfied, maybe you'll say I'm greedy, but to be honest, I want more power, not a salary. ”

"And what about your conditions?"

"My conditions are simple, there is only one." Jose Mourinho looked Arthur in the eye and said: "I want to have the same transfer power as Ferguson at Manchester United. ”

Arthur was silent, and the burning heat in his eyes faded away.

A pair of eyes squinted slightly at Mourinho, and the dangerous and cold atmosphere gradually spread, even Mourinho, who was calm and calm, couldn't help but shake his body.

Regarding the transfer power, Arthur naturally knows that this is a power that many managers have to fight for, because only the players selected by themselves will be more suitable for their own tactics, and many other players may not be able to adapt to their own tactics, especially semi-laymen like the club president.

But the problem is that Arthur is not the average club president, Arthur, who has two lifetimes of experience, will clearly know which players have the potential to become superstars in the next ten years, and which players may only become injured Zhongyong, which is also the biggest confidence that Arthur is confident that Blackburn will build a world-class giant.

Between his eyes half-open and half-closed, Arthur's mouth said what he had thought of a long time ago: "José, have you really thought it through?" I know maybe other teams can make you a transfer promise in order to sign you. But have you ever thought about it, most of those big teams have their own stars, as well as stereotyped tactics. There's no way they're going to give you as much tactical freedom as I do. I can say that Blackburn is definitely the best option for you to use your personal abilities. ”

'Arthur, I've thought very clearly, I know that if I go to another team, it will probably take a while to adapt and not be as free as I was at Blackburn. However, I'm willing to give it a try. After all, I have faith in myself. When will the "madman" Mourinho lose his self-confidence?

"Is the transfer power really that heavy? After all, my previous choices proved that I was almost always right. Arthur also wanted to persuade Mourinho again.

"Arthur, everyone wants to try something they've never had before." Mourinho said sincerely: "Maybe I will fail, but I at least hope I am not a coward who does not dare to try." ”

Arthur was also speechless, he knew that if Mourinho really wanted to leave, only one year of contract left next season really couldn't bind him, and speaking of which, Mourinho's contribution was worth a lot of money.

And whether it is Arthur or Mourinho himself, they hope that the two sides can get together and disperse, and everyone will maintain a good relationship after that. And not tearing the skin.

"Now that you've made up your mind, let's not talk about it. José, I thank you for your outstanding contribution to the club over the past five seasons and I wish you a bright future. Arthur's words were not polite official words, but his sincerity.

"Thank you and I won't forget the good time I spent at the club, although Blackburn Rovers was not the first team I coached, but it will always be my parent club." Mourinho said sincerely, this is what he thinks in his heart.

In this way, the two sides did not break up unhappily, Arthur deliberately left Mourinho, and there was only dinner for two people.

What was discussed between the two of them at this dinner is known only to the two of them.

Walking out of the restaurant, Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief and finally made it clear.

At the same time, Arthur is definitely not in a good mood, although there are still three months to go before the end of the season and half a year before the start of next season, but for a champion like Blackburn, there is not much time to find a new manager who is suitable for the team.
