Chapter 456: Hostage Incident (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"You should be able to guess what I'm going to say." Mendes said.
Fang Jue was even more shocked, at this time, it was like two villains arguing in his mind:
He knows? He doesn't know? He knows? He doesn't know?
Then, with apprehension, hearing what Mendez said, Fang Jue let out a long breath.
Mendes wanted to introduce Quares to play at Aston Villa and asked Fang Jue's opinion.
Ricardo. Quaresma?
Information about the Portuguese prodigy immediately came to Fang Jue's mind.
Quaresma can be said to have risen to fame at a young age.
In the summer of 2003, Barcelona spent 6 million euros plus Brazilian midfielder Roshenbach to poach Quaresma, who was not yet 20 years old at the time, from Sporting Lisbon.
In the pre-season friendly against AC Milan in the United States, Quaresma scored on his debut, and he and Ronaldinho, who also just joined Barcelona, shined as a star.
However, the phrase "a good start is half the battle" never seemed to work with Quaresma, who made 10 starts and 12 substitutes and scored just one goal in the following La Liga season.
As an attacking player, this answer was extremely disappointing.
In addition, off the field, Quaresma's personal relationship with Rijkaard, who also had just coached Barcelona, quickly ossified to the point of irreconcilability.
During Euro 2004, Quaresma, who failed to make the Portuguese national team, unilaterally announced that he would not play for the red and blue again as long as Rijkaard stayed at Barcelona for one day.
No club can tolerate such a statement from a player.
Quaresma was soon sent to Porto as one of the quid pro quo for Deco's transfer.
At first, Quaresma was reluctant to return to play in China so disgraced, but in the end he had no choice but to accept it.
In the 2004/2005 season, Quaresma "defected" to Lisbon and donned the blue and white sword stripes of Porto.
It was there that he met his own Bole, the Dutchman Adrianse. During Adrianse's seasons at the helm of Porto, the "Mustang" was successfully tamed!
Not only did he keep a low profile, but he also proved to be very comfortable in the attacking system that the coach had tailored for him, not only becoming Porto's number one contributor to the sweep of domestic football in Portugal for several seasons in a row, but also taking home all the individual and team honours that could be achieved in Portugal.
On August 31 last year, as a player handpicked by Mourinho, Quaresma officially transferred from Porto to Inter Milan, starting his second career abroad.
He himself would never have predicted that at that time, before the halfway point of the Serie A season, he would receive an "honor": the "Gold Award for Best Parallel Import" (Golden Tapir Award) from an Italian radio station.
And just half a season later, the Portuguese wing-lined talent will suffer the fate of being loaned in frustration.
Then on loan at Chelsea, Quaresma continued to be poor under another rare manager with whom he had worked happily, Scolari.
Then, Quaresma returned to Inter Milan on loan, and the Serie A transfer champion last summer has become a hot potato in the hands of Inter Milan, and his agent Mendes is also looking for a home for Quaresma.
……
As a gypsy, Quaresma has a wild style of play, and his outside instep pass is his unique skill and trademark, hence the nickname "Mustang". At that time, Quaresma and Ronaldo were known as the Lisbon duo, and compared with the immature Ronaldo at that time, Quaresma was more favored by the team and soon became a core player.
Fang Jue also shook his head, 6 years ago at Sporting Lisbon, Quaresma's treatment was higher than Ronaldo's; Today, the former younger brother has become the unparalleled world footballer of the year and the banner of Portuguese football, while Quaresma is not only the icing on the cake in the national team, but also can only continue to play in the club.
Suffice it to say, Quaresma's uninhibited personality also caused him a lot of trouble.
When he was still in Lisbon's junior team, the coach told him not to play with the outside instep, but he just didn't listen and was snubbed by the coach for a while. After the "comeback from the ban", people found that the child still always played football with the outside instep.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mendes, I don't think Quaresma will fit my style of play." Fang Jue said bluntly.
It's not that he doesn't want to help his 'father-in-law', on the pitch, Quaresma is the quintessential creative player who is out of the team.
Quaresma is best known for his bizarre out-of-foot passes, but they only occasionally blink.
The reason why Fang Jue doesn't look down on this person the most, but most of the time, Quaresma is almost a "three-no player" who never returns to defense, never fills the position, and never robs back.
He is almost useless when the team is passive or when the score is behind.
His dictatorial style of play will always make him suffer boos from the fans or be replaced early.
Regarding being loaned out by Inter Milan after only half a season, Quaresma also talked about two points at that time: first, he did not have the support of the fans; Second, he didn't get enough opportunities...... The face is so big, how funny.
Suffice it to say, Quaresma's mental qualities are not worthy of his skills and fame.
is also famous at a young age, Ronaldo also has an unruly side, but he met his mentor Sir Alex Ferguson, who has been in his career and even in the world, at Manchester United; Coupled with years of experience in Europe's top leagues and major national team competitions, Ronaldo has basically been able to provoke the national team and club.
But Quaresma can't: playing football in China for a long time, a relatively closed environment, and the stars holding the moon, will make him feel like the king of the world.
The state of the frog at the bottom of the well made it difficult for him to face difficulties and blows calmly.
Anyone who has watched Quaresma play can't deny his aura and talent, but like many players, the biggest obstacle preventing him from becoming a world-class superstar is nothing else but himself.
Let's put it this way, if Quaresma hadn't played football and become a star, this guy would have been an ordinary thug on the streets of Lisbon.
As if because of his gypsy blood, the young Quaresma was a man who admired himself everywhere, preferring to do what he wanted rather than follow the rules, and preferred to be unconventional rather than conformist – and it is hard not to reflect in his relationships and style of play.
'I can't have Quaresma at the core, in my team all the players are the same, they have to be involved in defending and they have to listen to me. Fang Jue said frankly.
In this case, there is no need to hide it, what to say, is the most appropriate.
Mendes smiled bitterly, of course he also understood that when he was in Porto, Adrianse could make the 'unruly' Quaresma obedient because he would bet on sacrificing the whole and tactically using Quaresma as the core to give him full room to play;
Suffice it to say, Quaresma is a player who is difficult to be favored by any coach who emphasizes holistic play; Looking around Europe, it is also difficult to find a big club that has the audacity to sacrifice the interests of the team in the top flight competition in anticipation of the instant explosion of this "wild horse".
Aston Villa is not a giant, so Mendes wants to try his luck and see if he can convince Fang Jue to 'take in' Quaresma, but, obviously, Fang Jue does not like Quaresma.
Mendes himself is also a big head, obviously a talented player, once worth as much as 40 million euros, but it is also embarrassing that he has fallen to the current point.
"And, let's be honest, even Quaresma can play honestly." Fang Jue seemed to realize that his tone was tough, and said softly, "Aston Villa can't afford Quaresma's salary and transfer fee." ”
Aston Villa has already used up all the transfer fees, and he doesn't see that he wants to bring in reinforcements in the front line, and he will only play a dozen Diego. Is it a good idea for a young man like Costa to be cheap?
"No transfer fees." Who is Mendes, hearing that Fang Jue's tone is no longer so tough, he immediately said, "I can convince Inter Milan to loan him to you for free." ”
Fang Jue was stunned, he was just polite.
"We can't afford to pay Quaresma." Fang Jue hurriedly said that because of Marina, Fang Jue would inevitably be a little weak in the face of Mendes, if it was someone else, he would have refused a word.
"You don't have to pay for it." Mendes said, "I can convince Inter to pay for the salary. ”
Fang Jue opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, free loan, salary and no Aston Villava, such a good thing...... How to refuse? Wait online, hurry!
He really didn't want the Quares horse, it was a wild horse, unruly, a bomb in the locker room.
Well, if he hadn't considered this, he would have really almost nodded his head, his strength is not bad, he has a unique skill, it's free to use, isn't it fragrant?
Fang Jue considered the wording, "Mr. Mendes, I admit that such a player joining for free can improve the strength of Aston Villa, but I still refuse. ”
"Why?" Mendes is also not very happy, he has lowered his posture and given it away for free, you still refuse, it's too much.
"Quaresma's temper." Fang Jue said, "If he can make sure that he is obedient, doesn't cause trouble, and doesn't become a problem in the locker room, I can nod my head, otherwise, I'm sorry." ”
Mendez was both angry and helpless.
With his status, such a low profile, it can be said that he is very sincere.
Mendes is not the kind of agent who is very domineering, he admires the harmony and win-win situation between himself and the players and the club, and rarely has a grudge against people and the club in the circle.
Moreover, although he was unhappy, the reason for Fang Jue's refusal was not incomprehensible, he didn't even want a free lunch, which could only show that the other party was very resolute.
"Forget it, I hope this incident doesn't affect our good working relationship." Mendez said.
"Nope." Fang Jue's voice suddenly raised, "Mr. Mendes, I mean, I'd love to play in Quares Malay at Aston Villa. ”
"What?" Mendes was also stunned.
'I mean, Quaresma came to Aston Villa and I would be very strict with him. Fang Jue said, "However, if he can't satisfy me, then, I will not hesitate to return the goods." ”
"This is nature." Mendes said happily, although he was a little puzzled as to why Fang Jue suddenly changed his mind, but, with a good result, everything was naturally fine.
'However, with the loan for free and Inter Milan taking on the salary, that has to be done.' Fang Jue said with a smile.
"No problem." Mendes packed the ticket, and he is confident that Inter Milan is now eager to deal with Quaresma as soon as possible, not to mention that he has a lot of influence on both Inter Milan and Mourinho.
"Mr. Mendez, it's a pleasure to work with." Fang Jue said.
Hanging up the phone, he let out a long breath and looked at the message on his other phone in a daze.
This is a photo, a beautiful little Bebe, sleeping sweetly on her side, and the child's mommy, standing on the edge of the cradle, waving her little fists, making a fierce expression, and gesturing to hit little Bebe's ass.
Ah, this kid is so beautiful, follow his father's comparison.
