62. Dig the foot of the wall with big hands
Chapter 62
Hearing the name, Juan and Redondo were stunned and glanced at each other.
"Hasn't Kiko been retired for two years?"
"But after all, he also has Atletico at heart." Jorge sighed, "Let's get in the car first and let these two stay together, fortunately you have prepared the house earlier...... Your own fiefdom is convenient ......"
"Fiefdom?" Redondo raised his eyebrows, suspicion flashed in his eyes, and Juan smiled calmly at him: "Jorge is just saying that the place I chose is very good, it's like I'm on my own turf, you go on, what's wrong with Atletico Madrid?" ”
Jorge wiped the sweat from his head and laughed: "Didn't Atletico Madrid come back from La Liga the year before last, and they probably want to go to the next level in one go?" ”
'They don't even qualify for the Europa League at the moment, so now they want to fight for it anyway.' Juan also understands that compared to Laco, Atletico Madrid's situation in recent years has not been very good, especially after two hellish years in La Liga, they almost fell into the relegation zone last season, and it can be said that they have been struggling desperately.
"yes, that's why even Kiko pulled it out this time." Jorge sighed and waved his hand, is this place of Atletico dedicated to the prince? Kiko, Torres, and if the academy was not disbanded before, it is estimated that there will be a Raul...... Iniquity.
"Kiko's status in Spain is still very high." Juan smiled when he said this, looking at the back seat meaningfully, "But we have a higher status, and we are not afraid of him." ”
Jorge Mendes took a deep breath, his voice trembling a little: "You, you mean ......"
"I mean, who do you think is more influential, Calderón or the prince of the Bernabeu?"
The car, which had been driving smoothly on the road, suddenly drifted for a moment and almost hit the side of the road, but fortunately there were no vehicles on the road at this time, otherwise they would not know what kind of tragic car accident it would cause.
"Jorge!"
"I'm sorry, I'm a little excited for a while......" Jorge felt that his hands were still a little trembling at this time, he looked back from the rearview mirror in the car, and the two young Argentines behind him were shocked, but at the same time they were still secretly glancing at a person next to him, and that person was still calm, and even nodded at him after noticing his gaze.
The Portuguese agent felt as if he was dreaming, so he swallowed his saliva and directly changed his Portuguese and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course I'm sure Fernando will wear the number five shirt then." At this point, Juan turned his head and smiled, and his answer was deliberately in Spanish: "Okay?" ”
Jorge held his breath and waited to listen to the answer, only to hear the rumored very bad-tempered Argentine back with a faint helpless voice: "You just call the shots." ”
It's up to you.
Just call the shots.
The Lord will do it.
That's it.
Come on.
Finish.
The wall of three views of the Portuguese agent is pouring down and will soon be shattered.
Originally, he thought that Deportivo La Coruna would experience the most dismal season, their only goal this season was relegation, to put it mildly, it was a game to win, and to be cheeky to stay in La Liga, not to mention anything else, even if they did not maintain their current position, it was already remarkable.
In this way, Juan's La Liga coach name can be 100% determined, and it is not child's play!
But judging from the members of Laco that Jorge has now handled, there is already a bit of a sense of fear in it - this is clearly not what a relegation team should look like, and this squad alone is scary enough.
Juan is certainly not satisfied with guaranteeing a La Liga seat, what he wants is to go to the next level, or even break through Super Laco and create a more terrifying existence!
"When I'm settled, I'll go to Madrid tomorrow, Fernando, do you want to go back with me to get some things?" Juan asked lightly, and both he and Redondo knew about his tactics, and the Argentine seemed to be extremely tolerant of his own apprentices, almost acquiescing.
"Then Jorge stayed here to settle down with Gago and Lukes and take them both to the veterans and the ones who were already at the club." Juan smiled with a wicked smile on his face when he said this.
For now, Deportivo La Coruna's club has taken a little rudimentary shape, and it no longer looks like an unlucky person who can't even get up to start, starting with captain Juan Bellerón, who has been identified at the moment.
Andrade, Capdevilla, Valente, Maniche, Quaresma, Postiga, Portillo, Diego López, Lukes, Fernando Gago and Diego Forlan are twelve.
These twelve people have already arrived in Laco one after another, and for now, only Lux and Gago, two people have not settled down, and the others have already started training one after another.
With Juan always on the outside, his coaching staff has made a big difference.
It can be said that the agency he and Jorge created together has enough talent for both assistant coaches, second assistant coaches, and goalkeeper coaches, and the team doctor has hired the best doctors in Spain - this may be due to the friendship between Eugenia and the old doctor, otherwise he would not have agreed to come to Laco so easily.
Laco's scouting system is also directly borrowed from the two of their brokerage companies, it can be said that Laco is up and down the two of them, if it weren't for the fact that the chairman needs to control a large number of shares and also has a certain amount of asset accumulation, maybe now Juan would simply become the chairman of Laco in one go.
Of course, even if he could be the president, he would not choose to be the president, after all, how tiring it is, and he has to deal with the presidents of other clubs, and he has to deal with agents like Jorge, compared to the fact that he would rather continue to invest money and contribute to the team.
At present, the formation of the coaching team alone has cost Juan nearly 30 million funds, and fortunately, these 30 million are not counted in the player's capital chain, otherwise it would already be stretched, and now it will be even more difficult to make ends meet.
"By the way, Jorge, did you have any connection with Barcelona when you went to buy Quaresma?" Juan asked very easily, and as soon as Redondo's expression changed, he immediately knew what his disciple was thinking.
It's a very bad behavior to cut first and then play!
Juan's agent was also immediately alert: "Of course there is, after all, it is also a club that has done business, and I haven't gotten you the Messi you want...... What, who did you fancy again? Barcelona probably won't be happy to sell to us! ”
"I don't think I'm unhappy, after all, they've been out on loan for a season." Juan said very easily, "You go and ask Riquelme's offer, we will buy it for less than 40 million, and Juan Sorin, it seems that he is in Argentina, when we go to meet Riquelme, you can also talk to him." ”
"The captain of Argentina...... How dare you think about it. Jorge was very emotional, but after thinking about it, this kid even dared to do it, and it didn't seem strange to think about getting an Argentine captain, so he nodded very calmly: "Okay, I remember." ”
The next day, Jorge went to see Pablo Ibanez, and after having Redondo as a backup, the Portuguese agent suddenly had absolute confidence, and even walked with a straight waist, while Redondo went back to deal with some things, ready to move to Deportivo La Coruna, and he still needed to slow down a little bit for his stupid apprentice to be promoted to his own head coach all of a sudden.
…… In particular, this silly boy coach doesn't seem to think at all that it is a terrible thing to bring a few people who are older and more experienced than him in a freshman team.
Is Juan really unaware?
Not necessarily.
But the reason for hesitating about the age limit is that basically the players who can play are older than him, and they are much older. After all, people who are the same age as him, or only one or two years older, are protected like treasures in major clubs, and only teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona that buy superstars vigorously will have the luxury of letting the team's rising stars sit on the bench and watch the water cooler.
And this gave Juan some opportunities to take advantage of.
While Jorge went to persuade Pablo Ibanez and Redondo to go home to deal with things, Juan also met with someone.
David Silva, Valencia's future star.
Valencia's coach has been decided, this position that was once very close to Juan was taken over by Ranieri, he doesn't like Silva, so he plans to loan him out, in fact, Valencia and Parma of Serie A have agreed on the transfer fee, but because the Italian side could not accept Valencia's proposed repurchase price, the guide zhì finally broke down.
Now there are only a few second division clubs left for Silva.
-- Or, A Coruña.
So in the face of the person who came up on purpose, Juan was very calm.
"I remember you, you came to Castile for a tryout before."
Juan naturally knew this very small player, in 2000, David Silva came to Castilla for a tryout, Juan happened to be a bystander at that time, he recognized the ability of this young player, but I don't know why, but he didn't appear in Valdebebas.
"Yes." David Silva was a little stunned, he didn't expect Juan to remember him, and in the face of Juan's next inquiry, he could only smile bitterly.
"They said I was too small, so I was rejected...... But that's not the case. ”
David Silva's expression was a little gloomy.
'On the day of the trial, the coach of Real Madrid's B team also brought his children and then I was turned away.
Oh.
Juan is clear, and he has a grudge against Real Madrid, no wonder he will find him!
