Because José recommended you.

Mendes' answer was so fast that Lin Sen thought that he had thought that he would ask this question a long time ago, and his seemingly hasty answer was the easiest answer for Lin Sen to accept.

The Jose in Mendes' mouth naturally has only one Jose, Jose Mourinho.

If Mourinho did recommend himself to Mendes, it is clear that Mendes' phone call would not be surprising. Only then does the question become: why did Mourinho recommend himself to Mendes?

Although Lin Sen seems to be less than thirty years old now, his mind is actually a standard old man close to forty, and forty is an age of "no confusion" in the old Chinese saying, which means that he can distinguish between things and doubts. His friendship with Mourinho is just a warm-up game, a few short phone calls, Mourinho's attitude towards him is very similar to that of a senior, but it does not feel condescending, the two can stop the phone call every time is not long, but Mourinho can always give some personal advice. At this point, Linsen will not deny that he is actually grateful to Mourinho, because at that time, he was still a coach who had just been swept away by Atletico Madrid.

It's just that gratitude doesn't equal trust. Although the former can easily develop into the latter. When Mourinho took the initiative to text and call himself, Lin Sen was not without a small person to take a magic bird, and as a result, after thinking about it, there was only one possibility: the player.

Talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money. The same is true for player trading, so there is an intermediary bridge between agents. On the surface, the agent is to help the players deal with affairs other than kicking football more professionally, but to put it bluntly, the main thing to do is to hurt feelings. Lin Sen actually didn't have a sense of precaution in his heart, because he knew very well the ability of the group of young people under his command now, before these people were unknown, he could rob them, but when these people slowly shone brightly, the next thing was not something he could stop. Although there are not many Boles in the world of football, it is by no means none. Therefore, when signing the contract with the player, Lin Sen has been "instigating" Livermore to try to raise the minimum release clause of the cheating father.

However, as the winter transfer window approaches in December, Linson is actually not resting on his laurels. What is the difference between a promotion horse that has become a dark horse and a supermarket with a discount sign?

So, Mendes' call, the right time really came at the right time.

Lin Sen's idea was correct, but he really wronged Mendes this time, because the reason why Mendes called him was actually very simple, it was Lin Sen himself. Because Mourinho told him that this is a potential stock that is definitely worth signing. As Mendes' black-gold client, Mourinho would not recommend someone to him, let alone a peer. As for the players in Málaga, Mendes is indeed interested, but by co-opting the opposing head coach to increase the signing weight? In Mendes' words, it was a trick he would have used ten years ago, and it was long gone now.

After receiving Mourinho's recommendation, Mendes began to investigate Linson.

The world thinks that brokers are selected, but as everyone knows, good brokers are also picking their own customers, why are Mendes so big names, and he is very demanding in the selection of customers. Mourinho's recommendation came after the defeat to Barcelona in Málaga, during which Mendes even watched two games in Málaga without knowing it, and it was not until after the match against Villarreal that Mendes made a decision. But at that time, he still didn't rush to contact Lin Sen, because he felt that it was not the right time to contact him.

Until now.

After hanging up the phone, Mendez was silent for a moment, and quickly dialed another number, but after thinking about it, he didn't call, just wrote a text message and sent it.

"Jose, you won."

Unexpectedly, less than a minute after his text message, the call came.

Mendes smiled wryly and picked up the phone, and sure enough, he still couldn't escape. In a way, the work of both him and Mourinho is about watching people eat. I have to say that in terms of looking at the coach, Jose's gaze is indeed much more poisonous than him.

"He rejected you?" On the other end of the phone, Mourinho's voice could be heard with a smile, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that you will have many opportunities to deal with each other in the future." ”

"I believe that." Mendes said a little helplessly, but quickly calmed down.

I have to say that Mendes admitted that he was indeed a little surprised, he thought he had grasped the best time, Malaga has been smooth sailing this season, and now it is not much time for Linsen to be at a low point, but he didn't expect Linsen to decline his invitation, yes, declined, Linsen did not directly say NO, but said that he did not plan to consider an agent before the end of the season, and also gave Mendes a promise that is equivalent to nothing in Mendes' opinion many times: if an agent is needed, He will call Mendes as soon as possible.

Mendes believes in his own promises, but never in the promises of others.

He couldn't help but think of the list of coaches that was currently circulating within his agents in Europe, so he said: "Jose, do you think I should give up? ”

Mourinho was suddenly surprised, Mendes was actually asking for his opinion? In this regard?

"I don't give up." After thinking about it for a while, Mourinho gave a barely dissenting opinion.

"You're so optimistic about him?"

"I never underestimate anyone."

"Indeed." Mendes smiled when he heard this, and said that overestimating is undoubtedly much cheaper than underestimating. Immediately, having made up his mind, he joked: "You know Jose, Lin is a little better than you." ”

"Oh?" Mourinho's brows furrowed.

"He speaks more languages than you do. Ha ha. Mendes laughed too.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Like Mendes, after hanging up the phone, Lin Sen also sent a long pause.

The well-known Mendes took the initiative to become his agent, and for now, it is obvious that Lin Sen should be honored. After all, whether they admit it or not, they all have a world-class halo hanging above their heads, and Lin Sen has not received any honor for the time being.

It's just that he rejected Mendes for the time being, but Lin Sen's decision was unexpectedly decisive, not that he intended to sell at the price, he undoubtedly needed an agent, but it was not urgent at the moment. As far as his personal life is concerned, thanks to the blessing of the European Cup, he is now worth millions, and he is also a multimillionaire in China, although no one will have too much money, but considering his background, just enough has become Lin Sen's attitude towards money, and this alone, the role of the agent for him has gone to most of it. I am afraid that the need for an agent is still in terms of work, especially in terms of contracts, but how long has he signed a contract with Malaga? Therefore, Lin Sen said to Mendes that he would talk after the season, which was not a kind word, but the truth. Because after the season, Linson's contract with Malaga does need a professional to help him deal with it.

As for now, Lin Sen is thinking about another thing, about the winter transfer.

Mendes' phone call was an episode and a wake-up call, a wake-up call to warn Linson that the transfer window was approaching.

Lin Sen quickly found out the contract information that Livermore handed over to him about all the current team members, and then began to study several of the "redemption" clauses one by one, but after looking at it for a while, it was simply afraid that others would understand the various professional terms that Lin Sen scratched his head, so he simply called Livermore, and then said what he wanted.

For Lin Sen's request, Livermore agreed without much thought, I have to say, professional is professional, soon, in less than an hour, Lin Sen received what he wanted, but after reading it, he suddenly had a toothache.

In terms of the minimum release fee, among the players introduced by Lin Sen in the summer, except for Gabi, none of them has a termination fee of more than 30 million, of which the free introduction of players is generally set at around 15 million, which no longer needs to be repeated. The minimum release fee for players who have spent transfer fees will be set a little higher, but it is not much higher, the gabi is the highest, 30 million, and the others are generally below 25 million. On the contrary, the termination fee of the players who were originally in Malaga was super high, often fifty or sixty million, and Gamès's termination fee even soared to more than 80 million, making it clear to others: You need to be cautious in poaching people, and you can talk about things in detail.

Of course, for a relegation professional like Malaga, many players still have to add a minimum release fee for relegation to their contracts, and the amount of this release fee is obviously more in line with the actual value.

For the minimum release fee, Lin Sen's worry is not very big, because even Gundogan, who has the least release fee, has 12 million, which may not be a big deal for the giants, but obviously for most teams, if they want to spend such a transfer fee on a young man who has just played well for half a season, I am afraid they need to weigh it. It's just that the minimum termination fee is not equal to the transfer fee, in this regard, Lin Sen needs to be more vigilant about whether Xiao Sans will play dark Chen Cang with him, after all, Malaga is a "poor and crazy" club, and no one can guarantee that Xiao Sans will not cut his flesh to survive.

On the other hand, Lin Sen actually needs to worry more about the small tails in those contracts, and the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Coke's repurchase clause, as well as the "two hundred and five" transfer fee that makes Lin Sen's teeth itch. Although the transfer period has not yet opened, and there are no scandals in the outside world at present, Linsen can almost conclude that with the urine nature of Little Hill, Atletico Madrid is likely to implement this clause in the winter.

The young player Koke has become an indispensable part of Malaga this season, Linsen has given him absolute trust from the beginning, and the little guy has not failed to live up to Linsen's trust, fourteen rounds of league games, two goals and three assists, he is not a good left-winger, but his average rating of more than seven points per game is enough to prove how good he is in other aspects, in the new Spanish under-19 youth team, Koke's selection is expected.

There are already quite a few "eventful" Spanish media outlets that have begun to tout Cork as "Xavi's second", for such a young talent, can Hill Jr. tolerate him continuing to play for him? Anyway, Lin Sen didn't believe it. However, what can Lin Sen do to stop the other party from doing this?

This damn two-hundred-and-five!
