Red Rebels

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu paused deliberately, and he saw that Mendes seemed to be searching the memory in his mind.

"Who are you talking about?" Mendes clearly didn't think of it.

No matter how good his memory is, it is impossible to remember all the first team and youth team players in his mind, then he is not a human, but a computer.

"Cristiano Ronaldo, he is still in the youth team of Sporting Lisbon, but Sporting Lisbon is very optimistic about his future, but I am more optimistic about him, I hope he can come to the new Manchester United, he is a genius!"

Mendes heard Mourinho mention Xiao Yu's selection of players, and admired his vision, but is a player who he has never heard of really as strong as he said?

"Mr. Xiao Yu, you know, the opponent is Sporting Lisbon, the top team in the Portuguese league. I think it is difficult to convince this player to join the new Manchester United?" Mendes said with a wry smile.

Although football is indeed becoming more and more utilitarian, sometimes football is also very traditional. New Manchester United is the third level league in England, but Sporting Lisbon is a giant team in Portugal's top league. Which is more important between the two? , as long as a little analysis can distinguish.

And listening to Xiao Yu's tone, Cristiano Ronaldo is still a player that Lisbon Sports focuses on training. If you want to dig such a player, even if the other party is willing to come, the price must be very high.

Mendes had heard that it was always cheap for Xiao Yu to poach people, which made him think that Xiao Yu would buy people at a low price.

But Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head, "Jorge, this will test your ability, you know, he can't play in Lisbon Sports now, but it doesn't mean he has no place in our new Manchester United, as long as he can persuade him He comes to Manchester and I promise you a cut, I will never let my friends down!"

Mendes was a little moved. Xiao Yu is a famous billionaire in the world. He said that he would give a commission, so it must be indispensable, but the key to the question is, will Sporting Lisbon let people go?

"Mr. Xiao Yu, I'd love to help you, but I think it's hard to convince Sporting Lisbon. You know that they are the best team in Portugal and have a great chance of winning the championship this year..."

"5 million pounds, Jorge!" Xiao Yu interrupted Mendes abruptly, "I am willing to pay this money for him, as long as he can come, I will pay, but if you can tell me the transfer fee The lower it is, I will give you all the rest as a reward, and at the same time, I will give you another commission."

Mendes was taken aback by Xiao Yu's words. He had never discussed a deal with others in such a naked way, but I have to mention that Mendes was very interested in Xiao Yu's proposal, because he knew the market, so He clearly saw the benefits contained in this transaction.

As a traveler, Xiao Yu knows that if 5 million pounds can buy Cristiano Ronaldo, it will definitely be a great value, because Manchester United spent more than 10 million pounds in 2003, and he feels that although the current team has four Famous winger, but Ribery's ability is not enough to take on the team's heavy responsibility.

Ronaldinho is here and can compete with Hleb, Wright Phillips and Malouda. Besides, there are so many games in England, Xiao Yu is not worried at all that he will not be able to play.

And he knows very well that this summer is the best time for him to win Ronaldinho. If he misses it, then there will be no such cheap thing.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao Yu, I will consider your proposal carefully!" Mendes nodded in agreement with a smile.

The temptation offered by Xiao Yu was too great, and he had no reason to refuse, so he wanted to try it.

…………

After Mendes left, Mourinho looked at Xiao Yu with a wry smile.

"Boss, do I think you were stimulated today?"

"How?" Xiao Yu felt strange.

"5 million pounds, to buy a player who has never even played an official game? Even if he is a new star cultivated by Sporting Lisbon, he doesn't need such a high price, right?" Mourinho is relatively clear about the domestic market in Portugal and feels that Xiao Yu's offer was a bit high this time.

Who knew that Xiao Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "I know the market, Jose, but I know better, he is different!"

Mourinho felt helpless, "Is he really as strong as you say?"

"Well, maybe in a year or two he won't be a big hit, but I can guarantee that in a few years, he'll be the best player on the planet, he'll be the World Player of the Year, he'll be the best player on the planet. The most expensive football player in the world, at that time, when you look back, you will find, wow, 5 million pounds was really cheap!"

Mourinho was amused by Xiao Yu's tone, but he still insisted on his point of view, 5 million pounds is too expensive.

Xiao Yu also knows that the price is slightly more expensive, almost more than one million pounds, but this is a piece of fat. If you want Mendes to concentrate on doing things for you, you must give him a little more sweetness and let him do it for you. Work hard to get what you want.

The new Manchester United can also come and talk to Sporting Lisbon in person, but they may not ignore you. Let Mendes go. He has a wide network of contacts and connections in Portugal. In order to get that piece of fat, he will naturally do everything possible. Complete what Xiao Yu requested.

That's why miser can never make a big deal!

Xiao Yu is not a miser. His previous miserliness was because he did not meet Ronaldinho's level. Even Kaka and Messi, Xiao Yu put a lot of effort into them, especially Messi. , In the past few years, he has spent a lot of money on him, which is not a small sum, and Xiao Yu also paid for Kaka's original surgery expenses.

"Okay, I believe in your vision, but after he comes, you still can't interfere with everything in the team!" Mourinho also mentioned the problem of the team's wingers to Xiao Yu, and he didn't think it was too much. A strong winger is a bad thing.

"Of course, Jose, I never interfere with your work, you know that!" Xiao Yu laughed.

The two continued to put forward some opinions on the construction of the team. At present, the first team configuration of the new Manchester United is very reasonable. Although they are relatively young, Juninho, Senna, Malouda, Drogba and Hleb are relatively old. , The temperament is relatively calm, and Mourinho's control of the team is in place, so the new Manchester United is very cohesive.

League, FA Cup, League Cup and Pioneer Cup Winners Cup, four-line battle, but the new Manchester United has maintained a good state, continued to maintain the lead in the league, the FA Cup also reached the third round, Pioneer won The Champions Cup also passed the two rounds of the semi-finals and successfully entered the northern finals.

It can be said that after last year's low ebb, Mourinho ushered in a complete explosion this season, especially after the victory over Reading. Germany has 7 points, and the next is a crucial battle away to Brentford.

"The team is in good shape at the moment. My idea is to try to get more points during this period. Next, I will try my best to prepare for the League Cup. You know, winning the League Cup is hopeful to participate in the UEFA Cup. !" Mourinho said with a treacherous smile.

Xiao Yu had guessed what he was thinking, and shook his head with a smile, "Your dream is really big, Jose, but I like it, tell me, what can I do?"

Mourinho shook his head, "You have done well enough, boss, but I hope to keep all the players in the first team, you know, there are many teams out there who are interested in them now, which makes me I'm a little worried!"

The team performed well, and the players benefited, especially those who performed well. To say that no one pays attention would be demeaning, but it is also troublesome if someone pays attention, especially when they are faced with higher level team.

That's what makes it difficult for lower-level teams to survive!

"Don't worry, Jose, no matter who it is, don't even think about poaching our players during the winter break. This is my guarantee!" Xiao Yu said confidently.

According to the current contract between the club and the player, it is impossible for anyone to leave unless the player wants to have a standoff with the team.

…………

…………

There was no further negotiation on the contract with Mourinho. The two sides soon held a press conference to announce a 5-year contract extension. At the same time, Mourinho will also receive the highest price in the club except for the Premier League. The head coach's salary, and his salary is higher than any player on the team.

On the afternoon of the second day after announcing the renewal, the new Manchester United visited Griffin Park in Brentford, London.

In this game, the new Manchester United sent the strongest lineup. Drogba, who has been in good condition recently, continued to start as a striker. Wright Phillips and Hleb were separated on the two flanks. The midfielder was Juninho and Senna partnered with Essien. , The back line is from left to right is Evra, Terry, Curtis, Toure, the goalkeeper is Cech.

In addition to Abidal, who was suspended by the yellow card, the new Manchester United sent the strongest lineup this season. In order to have a more relaxed environment for the upcoming League Cup, Mourinho asked the team to win this game. .

Brentford obviously figured out that the new Manchester United's left defense was a loophole, so from the first minute of the game, he grabbed the new Manchester United's left side to attack frantically, but Evra, who started instead of Abidal in this game, was After washing away the ills of being strong on offense and weak on defense, he completed the tasks assigned to him by the head coach very well on the left.

This made Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the stands, very satisfied after watching it, because he knew that Evra often practiced his defense hard, and Xiao Yu was very satisfied to see his progress.

Brentford was not able to penetrate the new Manchester United's left, but their left was turned into a sieve by the new Manchester United's right. Hleb frequently attacked from the right and made two crosses. , has assisted Drogba and Wright Phillips to score.

It is also with these two goals that the new Manchester United brought back 3 points from London, and the gap with Brentford has also widened to 10 points.

After returning to Manchester from London, Xiao Yu also began to ask club officials to meet with the players' agents and propose to them to renew the contract, but soon, Xiao Yu received a depressing fax!
