431 Friend or Foe (Part I)
"Weishenme left Cristiano alone?"
When Rist met Raiola, Mendes had just come out of North London. Mendes' Jihua was a complete failure last season, and several stars who came out of the Portugal international ended dismally.
After Real Madrid's heavy defeat to Liverpool, Real Madrid was not satisfied, and it was not ordinary dissatisfaction. After all, Real Madrid has dominated European football for many years, although it cannot be said to be completely dominant, but it has always been the strongest and most dazzling club in European football. But this season has made a down-and-out giant, Liverpool, so humiliated, which is unbearable.
Real Madrid immediately began to look for scapegoats. In the eyes of the Real Madrid media, there is no problem with superstars such as Ronaldo, Raul, Zidane, and Figo, and the first problem is coach Queiroz. That's always been the way Real Madrid fans think. When it comes to the results, these results are the credit of superstars. When the results are not good and looking for a scapegoat, the coach is the most haode scapegoat. Real Madrid's tradition is that a good chairman is a superstar, and the coach is a soy sauce. The glorious task of carrying the black pot is, of course, the task of the head coach.
Queiroz immediately became the target of 10,000 people's bombardment, and all charges were charged on his head, many of which were 66 is absurd. When Queiroz became the manager of Real Madrid, Mendes was very proud. He has always been interested in the combination of Rist and Benitez, and after having Queiroz, he thinks he is not bad. But Queiroz has been so poor at Real Madrid that he could be out of class at any moment. It's impossible to stay at Real Madrid anyway.
And Cristiano, who entered Real Madrid with Queiroz. Ronaldo, there was some freshness at the beginning. After all, Cristiano. Ronaldo's passing is still quite exciting. It's a pity that Cristiano at this time. Ronaldo, in addition to showing off his passing moves. Nothing. has been abandoned by Real Madrid fans.
Now Queiroz and Cristiano. Ronaldo has become the biggest scapegoat for Real Madrid at present, and there is only one result waiting for them, which is to leave Real Madrid in disgrace.
It's not just the two of them, it's Barcelona's Quaresma. Quaresma is in a better position than Cristiano. Ronaldo is even worse because at Real Madrid there was still Queiroz to protect him, but in Barcelona there was no one to care whether Quaresma lived or died. Quaresma was firmly suppressed by Giuli, who was much less famous than him, at Barcelona, and had no chance to play at all. Mendes doesn't have any place in Barcelona and can't speak for Quaresma at all. So now Quaresma has no choice but to leave Barcelona.
Last season was defeated, but Mendes was undeterred. It's just a failure for him, and one failure is no big deal. During this time, he has been moving around the major clubs. I want to see if there is a chance. This time in North London, he finally had a haode result.
"Because Cristiano is stronger than Ricardo. More promising and more suitable. They all failed, but I could see it. If you say that Cristiano's character is bad, then it is really bad. But it is precisely because of this character of not admitting defeat. His future is sure to be brighter than Ricardo's. ”
For the two geniuses under their own hands. Mendes deals with it completely differently. Quares Mamendes is ready to get him back to Portugal. And Cristiano. Ronaldo Mendes, on the other hand, is always looking for a new owner. This time he was in North London for just that.
"Weishenme chooses Arsenal? I think Cristiano should work out for a while in the small club. ”
Mendes' aides, however, believe that Mendes' choice was wrong. Cristiano. Ronaldo is still young and should work out in Portugal or in some small clubs. And not to go to a giant like Arsenal. After all, the current Arsenal is still very strong in the Premier League, and Arsenal at this time is a club that can directly confront Manchester United. Arsene Wenger's fame was also high at this time. He is a European coach who can compare to Alex Ferguson. What is the difference between going to Arsenal and going to Real Madrid at this time.
"You don't understand."
Mendes shook his head and thought for a moment: "Cristiano has a strong personality, if I take him back to Portugal or go to some small club I will ruin this child." He thinks that if he fails, his self-esteem will take a hit, so that he has no future. He needs to pick himself up now, he needs a coach who can really subdue him and help him. Coach Arsene Wenger is one of them. ”
After saying that, Mendez did not continue to listen to his assistant. He is a very decisive person, and since he has made a choice, he will not regret it. After taking two steps, Mendez said to his assistant, "Arrange me a haode place, I want to receive a guest." ”
…………
"Jorge, long time no see."
Mendez was going to receive a guest, and that person was Rist. Rist and Mendes also knew each other a long time ago, but they didn't have a relationship. Mendes has been shrinking in Portuguese football, and although he has tried to come out of Portuguese football in the past two years, he has always failed. And Rist doesn't care about Portuguese football at all, and has been developing in other leagues.
In fact, when he saw Mendes, Rist felt a little uncomfortable. Because Mendes and Rist did not have any conflicts before, but Rister was worried about his development, so he hacked him several times. It can be said that when Mendes didn't know it, Lister, the top agent in European football, had already cheated him several times. Such a method is not very bright, so Riester was a little uncomfortable when he saw Mendes.
Mendes, 38, is much stronger than Rist from the start. After all, he began to work as a horse boy for the first agent, Figer, but unfortunately sometimes it is difficult to become the first under the first in the industry. This is the case with Figer, who started as a pony and became a high-class pony. If it weren't for Figer's problems, Mendes would have been a senior horse boy for a while.
"Rist, you're too busy right now, I'm too embarrassed to disturb."
The current Mendes strength is average, although he can already call the wind and rain in Portuguese football, but it is still a lot worse to get out of Portuguese football. However, in the face of Rist, the most powerful player in European football, Mendes did not have any cowardice at all, on the contrary, it was like chatting with his old friend.
"It's all busy."
Rist shook his head. Although Rist's current strength is almost overlooking Mendes, Rist does not dare to underestimate Mendes at all. Mendes was able to become the number one agent in European football in history, and there is absolutely no problem with his ability. Rist never underestimated any opponent, and even more so Mendes.
"Jorge, what's the matter with you."
"Nothing serious. I heard that coach Benitez is going to Chelsea? ”
Rist was stunned. Mendes is looking for himself, definitely not for the sake of reminiscing. And there is no friendship between Rist and Mendes to catch up. Both of them are busy people, and Mendes is now so busy with how to get out of Portugal that he can't have time to come and catch up with Lister specifically.
Since it's not a nostalgic, there must be something. Rist speculated a thing or two from Mendes' words. Benitez was mentioned, Chelsea manager was mentioned. With these two points alone, Rist had already guessed something.
Jose Mourinho?
Mendes is here for the Chelsea manager's position. Chelsea's current manager, Claudio Ranieri, is not fond of Roman Abramovich, and it's an open secret in English football. Although Kenyon and Ranieri have refuted the rumors several times. But everyone in the industry knows that Ranieri is angry because of this. Because he himself knows that next season's Chelsea manager will certainly not be him.
"There has been such a thing. Peter just talked to me. ”
Rist had nothing to hide. This kind of thing can't be hidden, after all, many things are leaked to the media circle by Lister himself. Although Mendes is only the hegemon of Portuguese football, he still knew a lot of people with Figer. Including Peter, who has just become Chelsea CEO. Kenyon he also knew.
It's just that Mendes represented Figer back then, so many people gave him face. And since he became self-reliant, these connections are still there, but they are not as good as when he did things for Figer. However, big problems cannot be solved, small problems can still be solved. It's still easy to get some inside scoop.
"How did Coach Benitez choose?"
The question is already touching on the private choice of Rist and Benitez. But Mendes didn't feel rude at all when he asked this question, and he asked it in a dignified manner.
"What do you think?"
Rist smiled and kicked the ball to Mendes. Mendes didn't have any other expressions just because Riester kicked the ball to him. Still smiling, he said, "I won't leave Liverpool." ”
Mendes' answer was unequivocal. Rist's lips curled upward, and he couldn't help but laugh. Most of the agents who worked as horses for Figel back then only learned how to help people. But there are also a few brokers who have big ambitions.
Just like Ribeiro, Mendes, Sandro. Becker, these agents are all targeting Figer. They are both strong now, so they all want to be the next Figer because they want to be the next Figer because they are all aiming for what they have achieved back then.
Now even Liverpool's top management is afraid to guarantee whether Benitez will go or not, and many European football agents are afraid to guarantee Rister's choice. But Mendes was able to say that Benitez would never leave Liverpool. How could such an opponent not make Rist feel threatened.
"You came to me today?"
Although Rist had already thought of it, he still asked. Of course, it is impossible for Lister to say this kind of thing himself, that is the price drop.
"Lister, what do you think of Coach Mourinho?" (To be continued......)
