Lately, Mendes has been depressed.

Originally, he thought that it would be easy to bring down Maritimo by his own means and let Gao Yuan prostrate under his feet, but he didn't expect that things were far from being as simple as he thought.

In order to cut off the acquisition of Humari Dimo, his company paid far more than the market price, for which he was under great pressure on the board of directors.

However, he firmly believes that there is nothing wrong with his deal, and it will not take long to show its value.

Compared with this, what made him even more unbearable was the public opinion of the outside world and the punishment decision of the Portuguese Football Federation.

Originally, this matter was Maritimo and Gao Yuan's illegal operation of recruitment, and it was their fault! As a result, it was deliberately led by Gao Yuan to become "the exclusion and suppression of Chinese-funded clubs by Western anti-China forces, and a new manifestation of unilateralism and hegemonism in the sports world"! Inexplicably, it has risen to become a political event!

What's even more unexpected is that this has turned into a carnival for young people! It's become a trendy pop culture!

Are young people so idle now? Isn't it good to have time to work? What about their parents? Don't come out and take care of it! Is this a moral degradation or a distortion of human nature?

To be honest, my original intention is really just a personal grudge! Is it necessary to go online like this?

Mendes seriously suspected that the whole thing had something to do with Gao Yuan, and it could be the conspiracy of some powerful and mysterious ancient Eastern country behind him!

Regardless of who is behind the scenes, this matter is beyond the realm of sports anyway, and it is also out of the control of Mendes.

When the Portuguese Football Federation made that painless punishment decision, Mendes was angry, didn't he say that he would be punished heavily? How did the clenched fist turn into a gentle stroke?

Isn't it good to speak in Portuguese football?!

When Mendes called his friend who was in a position of power in the Portuguese Football Federation, the reply was, "Almost!" You see what has become of the situation now, it has risen to the height of geopolitics and international relations! Don't add fuel to the fire anymore, I really shouldn't have listened to you in the first place, this is simply playing with fire and setting yourself on fire! ”

Later, Mendez heard a blind tone on the other end of the phone. This old boy actually dares to hang up his phone! This was unimaginable before!

Mendes is sure that the other party is really afraid, if it weren't for the face of the Football Association, let alone punishment, if the Football Association didn't make it, he would have to run to take the initiative to apologize to Maritimo!

I, the most powerful football agent in Europe, the Portuguese football predator, can't clean up a Chinese kid in my own base camp, it's a great shame!

However, Mendes is not completely desperate, as a predator who has dominated the European football brokerage scene for more than a decade, he has much more than that. Although I can't deal with Maritimo now, I still have a lot of private tricks!

Gao Yuan, you wait for me!

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the outside world, Maritimo's Portuguese Super League campaign continues.

During the period when the Portuguese Football Federation sent an investigation team and finally made a decision on the punishment, they won another wave of three consecutive victories.

In this round, they will face the Ferreira team.

At the press conference before the game, the reporters did not pay much attention to the game, but asked about current political issues such as "unilateralism" and "international situation".

Gao Yuan cleared his throat: "Media friends, I am a coach, not a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the future, I will not answer questions other than football because it is not my business area, on the green field, I only care about football! If you have to ask, then I only have four words, no comment! ”

"Excuse me, is your statement very different from the previous one, because it was interfered with or warned by some forces?"

"No comment!"

"Does this mean that you are withdrawing from the anti-unilateralist movement that you have started yourself?"

"No comment!"

"Do you no longer pay attention to the cause of the international struggle against hegemonism and unilateralism?"

"No comment!"

"Have you been recruited and betrayed the revolution?"

"No comment!"

……

Gao Yuan did what he said, and really used these four words to answer all current political questions that have nothing to do with football.

Takato is a smart man, and he has already achieved the results he wants. I'm just a football person, not a politician, and I don't want to be a spiritual totem or cultural symbol, although this can bring a lot of prestige, but it's playing with fire, and the wisest principle is to take it when you see it and return to your old job.

Gao Yuan hopes that many years later, when people mention his name, the first thing that comes to mind is the super football coach and the world's No. 1 football manager, not some sports leader or political opportunist!

Normally, press conferences revolve around Takato, and there is basically nothing to do with Ferreira coach Victor Oliveira.

Victor Oliveira's gaze seemed to be burning with fire as he looked at Takato.

This is not because he was robbed of the limelight by Gao Yuan, but because he has a common enmity with Gao Yuan!

He was beaten hard by Gao Yuan before the season.

Swapped a garbage midfielder for his team's potential rising star Danso, as well as €4 million in cash!

Because of this deal, he was called "the No. 1 big fool in the Portuguese Super League this season" by fans!

The board of directors was also very dissatisfied with its decision-making and took back the power of recruitment that was originally given to it.

But are you wrong? To this day, Oliveira still doesn't feel like he was wrong when he thinks back to the warm-up game before the season!

Those damn media, fans, they didn't even watch that warm-up game! I haven't seen Bandano's amazing performance in that game!

In that game, Bennano was a combination of "Kante + Fabregas", able to attack and defend, fight and grab, cover a huge area, and pass ecstasy! In that teaching game, Bannano played the full 3 quarters and 120 minutes, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist! He's the brightest MVP on the court!

As long as he can consistently play the six or seven successes of that game, Oliveira believes that Tondela will be able to challenge the status of the "top three in the Portuguese Super League" this season!

So he did not hesitate to make the decision to pursue Banano, and therefore paid a rich enough "bride price", and even caught the "flying wing" Danso, who was determined to enter the national team in the future.

As a result, the league is almost halfway through, and Danso, who was sent out, played well and was really selected for the national team! And Bannano, who he dug up with a lot of money, is playing stinky game by game, judging from his current performance, it is difficult to enter the 18-man squad, let alone be the core!

And this is also a portrayal of the situation of the two teams now. Maritimo, who was considered the favorite for relegation before the season, is now singing all the way to the top of the standings; And Tondela, who was full of ambition before the season and wanted to make a big difference, could only linger in the middle.

Thinking of this, Oliveira's teeth itched angrily. The reason why Tondela's results did not improve was not because he was dragged down by the back, he couldn't attack, and he couldn't defend. The upper back of the formation is weak, just like a man's kidney deficiency. The kidneys are weak, and I'm still making a fart!

In addition, Danso's departure has greatly reduced the strength of the originally strong left wing. It makes the board and players distrust themselves! Every assist and every tackle made by Danso in the Portuguese Super League is like a slap in the face!

Due to the achievements and inputs, the expectations are very different. Tondela has given Oliveira an ultimatum that if he can't get at least a point in this game, then he can pack up and get out!

Therefore, in this game, I must do my best, not only about revenge, but also about my own job!

However, Oliveira himself knows that the current strength, state, and momentum of the two teams are very different, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to defeat Maritimo, which is in full swing.

But just when he was at a loss, he received a call from a football predator telling him

"Try your best, someone will help you. Against Maritimo, you're not alone! ”
