Jorge Mendes arrived at Manchester United's home team's training ground in an excited mood. Cristiano Ronaldo had just scored a beautiful lob.
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal made Jorge Mendes admire in his heart. This kid is indeed Portugal's favorite. He originally thought that only a senior and discerning scout and agent like him would be able to score. Being able to see through his superstar potential in advance, I didn't expect that Li Mu, who was making waves in the Internet industry, also took a fancy to him.
At this time, Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary coach of Manchester United, also saw Cristiano Ronaldo's wonderful lob. He couldn't help but applauded and shouted: "Cristiano, this is The ball went in beautifully! It went in so beautifully!”
Having said this, Ferguson felt particularly lucky.
In fact, even the wily Ferguson himself did not pay attention to the new star Cristiano Ronaldo. The reason why Cristiano Ronaldo came to Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon was all because of the agent Jorge Mendes. The middle adds fuel to the flames.
To put it harshly, Jorge Mendes is like the pimp with the best connections and resources in the football industry. Not only can he find the best beauties, but most importantly, he can also find the richest ones. , the most generous boss.
This also means that a star can be sold for the highest value only if it is in his hands.
Otherwise, it is very likely that a beauty with a score of 9 can only live in a bathing center in a fifth-tier city, while a beauty with a score of 8 can enter a luxurious place like heaven and earth with ten or even dozens of times the value.
Sometimes, strength is not the only determining factor, but opportunity and platform. No one knows how many talented players in the world have ended their careers in third-rate clubs. No one knows that in London Or in the bars on the streets of Berlin, the fat man holding a beer and watching the football game originally had the ability to become a top superstar.
As Ferguson felt more and more about Cristiano Ronaldo's talent, he discovered more and more that Jorge Mendes was indeed extraordinary. At the same time, he was thankful that he had sent such a bright new star to him. Under his own command.
On the side, a young man in gorgeous clothes and a stern expression looked at Cristiano Ronaldo running on the field with his arms on his shoulders, and asked Ferguson: "Is this the wonder boy you are talking about?"
Ferguson nodded and said: "Mr. Macmillan, this young man is very good. If you give him another three to five years, he is likely to become the world's top player."
The young man who spoke was George MacMillan, who was beaten violently by Li Mu at the Goldberg family salon a few days ago.
George McMillan himself is a playboy and a football enthusiast. Tomorrow is Manchester United's first game of the season, so he made a special trip to take a look at the team's training.
In the past few days, George McMillan heard that Ferguson had acquired a talented player, so he deliberately ran over to take a look.
Cristiano Ronaldo's performance on the court is indeed commendable, but George McMillan is not sure whether he has the potential to become a superstar. However, when he came this time, he actually had another thing to explain to Ferguson.
So, he asked Ferguson: "By the way, where is the young player surnamed Dong that we said we would introduce from China last time now?"
Ferguson thought for a while and said: "That player is indeed pretty good. We have basically confirmed that he wants it. His current club is also willing to release him, but it is just a matter of price. Now we have basically reached a consensus. We are ready to Sign him in January next year."
George MacMillan nodded and blurted out: "Sign him as soon as possible."
Ferguson didn't understand why George McMillan cared so much about a young Chinese player, and said: "We are still conducting routine price negotiations with them, mainly hoping to reduce the other party's offer."
George Macmillan asked: "How much does the other party want?"
"It's currently £4.5 million, paid in one lump sum."
George Macmillan asked again: "What about your target price?"
"£3.5 million, payable in installments."
George Macmillan waved his hand and said: "It's not much different. Just promise them. It's best to introduce it as soon as possible. The sooner the better."
Ferguson was even more surprised and blurted out: "Mr. Macmillan, do you have any plans to bring him in in such a hurry? His labor certificate will not be resolved for a while. Even if he joins now, he can only rent to other leagues first." go."
George MacMillan sneered and said: "You sign him, give him a contract of at least five years, and then set the liquidated damages as high as possible. After he signs, loan him to Antwerp. Let him go to Antwerp and sit on the bench for five years!"
Ferguson's back felt hairy after hearing this. Is George Macmillan going to hide Dong Fangzhuoxue? How did this Chinese player who had never been to the UK provoke George Macmillan to such a vicious plot
If a professional player can only sit on the bench in the club during his most golden stage, and may sit on the bench for five years, then his career will be completely over.
No one will pay attention to the strength of a bench player. Even if they want to pay attention, there is no chance. Therefore, once such a player is put on the bench, it is difficult for other teams to be interested in him. Even if they are interested in him, once they know The high liquidated damages will definitely discourage players. At that time, players will be like brothel girls who have no money to redeem themselves and can only spend their time in the brothel.
How much hatred does George Macmillan have against Dong Fangzhuo to make him have such vicious thoughts
Before Ferguson could ask what was going on, George McMillan said coldly: "Jazz, I hope all this can be settled before the summer transfer window closes."
Just as Ferguson was about to speak, George Macmillan spoke first: "Remember what I just said and get him over to me as soon as possible!"
After saying that, George Macmillan lifted his legs and left.
Ferguson looked at his back, shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Although he has a great influence on Manchester United, it is normal. Once the Macmillan family intervenes, it will be an abnormal situation. Even he cannot disobey the orders of the Macmillan family.
From this point of view, we can only contact China as soon as possible to meet their requirements and let them agree to sign the contract as soon as possible.
Watching George McMillan leave the court, Ferguson suddenly caught a glimpse of Jorge Mendes on the sidelines. A smile appeared on his face, he waved to him and said: "Hey, Jorge!"
Jorge Mendes saw Ferguson waving to him, so he waved back and walked towards him.
He knew that in order to take Cristiano Ronaldo away from the training ground, he had to get Ferguson's nod.
So, he walked up to Ferguson and said with a smile: "Good afternoon, Sir Alex Ferguson."
Ferguson smiled and asked: "Why do you have time to come here?"
Jorge Mendes smiled: "I'm looking for Cristiano Ronaldo."
"Looking for him?" Ferguson asked in surprise: "You have something to do with him?"
Ferguson was a little surprised and confused. Although Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to him by Jorge Mendes, he felt that since the deal had been concluded, he still came to find Cristiano Ronaldo. Something is strange.
Jorge Mendes also knew that Ferguson was suspicious, so he smiled and said: "I signed a few more young players from Portugal and wanted to send them to the Premier League, and Cristiano Ronaldo happened to be the best among the young players in Portugal. One, so I wanted to ask him to come over and have a meal together to teach these new little guys some experience and give them some encouragement."
Ferguson asked curiously: "Young Portuguese player? Can you introduce me to him?"
Jorge Mendes said flatteringly: "Sir Ferguson, your team is the best in the world. How can I have so many players who meet your requirements? This time, all the young players who came here are relatively average. They are all destined to be sent to second-rate clubs."
After being complimented a few times, Ferguson laughed and nodded. If it were an ordinary player, he would definitely not be interested.
Jorge Mendes looked at the time, smiled and said to Ferguson: "Sir Ferguson, if it is convenient, I would like to take Cristiano Ronaldo away for a while. It won't be long, only two people." What do you think of your appearance as a child?"
Ferguson said: "Tomorrow is our opening game of the season. I am going to let Cristiano Ronaldo come on as a substitute in the second half to get a feel for it, so today's training is quite important for him."
Jorge Mendes continued to flatter him and said: "Sir Ferguson, in tomorrow's game, even without Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United will definitely win, and he is new here, so you don't have to give him too much. The pressure will make it easier for him to perform at a super level."
Ferguson nodded. In fact, it doesn't matter to him what Cristiano Ronaldo's status will be tomorrow. Tomorrow's game will be a breeze for Manchester United. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo comes on, it will only be around the 80th minute. At that time, he came on as a substitute to meet the Premier League audience in advance, so it was enough for him to maintain his best condition and there was no need to put too much pressure on him.
What's more, Jorge Mendes is a high-quality "supplier" in the football market, and Ferguson doesn't want to stalemate the relationship with him, so he is ready to give him a favor.
Then, Ferguson shouted into the stadium: "Hey, Cristiano! Come here!"
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was communicating with his teammates to pass the ball, heard the head coach calling him and hurriedly passed the ball to his teammates before coming to the sidelines.
When he came over, he also saw Jorge Mendes next to Ferguson. Jorge Mendes was his agent, but under normal circumstances, he had no reason to come to the team to find him. This made Cristia Ronaldo was also a little surprised.
Coming to the sidelines, Cristiano Ronaldo greeted Ferguson and Jorge Mendes respectively. Ferguson pointed at Jorge Mendes and said to Cristiano Ronaldo: "Jorge has something to do with you. , you go with him first."
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded slightly and without asking why, Jorge Mendes came up and put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Let's go to my place to meet some Portuguese players."
"Portuguese player? New here?" Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly became interested.
Playing alone in the Premier League and having just joined a club, Cristiano Ronaldo also felt very lonely. Suddenly, he heard that Jorge Mendes had several Portuguese players there, and he immediately became excited. No matter what, , Compatriots are always closer than strangers.
So Cristiano Ronaldo packed his training bag and walked out of the training ground with Jorge Mendes.
After leaving the training ground, the two walked to the changing room together. Cristiano Ronaldo turned to Jorge Mendes and asked: "Which teams have the new Portuguese players signed for?"
Jorge Mendes waved his hand and said with a smile: "There are no Portuguese players at all. I said that on purpose to deceive Ferguson."
"What?" Cristiano Ronaldo asked with a look of confusion on his face: "Why did you lie to Sir Alex Ferguson? What on earth are we going to do?"
Jorge Mendes did not answer his question directly, but looked at him and said very seriously: "Cristiano, at any time, you should follow your agent, not your head coach. Believe me, only your agent is the one who wishes you the best, and your coach is not even in the top five."
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded repeatedly and said: "Mr. Mendes, I am very clear about this and have always kept it in mind. I just have some respect for Sir Alex Ferguson and feel that we should not lie to him. That's all. After all, he is a Queen's concubine." Honorable Sir."
Jorge Mendes smiled mockingly and asked: "Do you know what level Ferguson is?"
"Of course." Cristiano Ronaldo nodded and said, "Sir Ferguson received the KBE Medal personally awarded by the Queen."
Although Cristiano Ronaldo is Portuguese, the whole of Europe is very clear about the British royal family and the way in which the Queen of England awards honors.
Jorge Mendez smiled and said: "I will take you to see a person with a higher level than him, and I will take you to see a great god who has awarded the GBE."
Cristiano Ronaldo asked in surprise: "Who is it? I have been stunned by you."
Jorge Mendez couldn't hide the excitement on his face and blurted out: "I will take you to see Li Mu, who was just awarded the GBE medal by the Queen today. He named you to see you!"
