Chapter 1560 I Lied to Him

Jorge Mendes arrived at Manchester United's training ground in a high spirit, and 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 he was the only senior and discerning scout and agent like himself. Being able to see through his superstar potential ahead of time, I didn't expect that Li Mu, who is a leader in the Internet industry, also took a fancy to him.

At this time, Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary manager of Manchester United on the sidelines, also saw Cristiano Ronaldo's wonderful lob, he couldn't help applauding from the sidelines and shouted: "Cristiano, this is Beautiful goal! So beautiful!"

Having said that, Ferguson felt very fortunate in his heart.

In fact, even the wily Ferguson himself has not paid attention to the new star Cristiano Ronaldo. The reason why Cristiano Ronaldo can come to Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon is all thanks to the broker Jorge Mendes. Middle to fuel the flames.

To put it a bit harsher, Jorge Mendes is like a pimp with the best connections and resources in the football industry. He can not only find those beautiful beauties, but most importantly, he can also find the richest , the most generous boss.

This also means that only when a star is in his hands can he sell the highest value.

Otherwise, it is very likely that a beauty with a 9-point score can only be reduced to living in a bathing center in a fifth-tier city, while a beauty with an 8-point score can enter a luxurious place like heaven and earth with ten times or even dozens of times her worth.

Sometimes, strength is not the only determining factor, opportunity and platform are. No one knows how many talented players in the world have directly ruined their careers in third-rate clubs. No one knows, in London Or in a bar on the streets of Berlin, the fat man watching a football game with a beer originally had the strength to become a top superstar.

When Ferguson felt more and more that Cristiano Ronaldo's talent was huge, he found more and more that Jorge Mendes was indeed unusual, and at the same time he was glad that he sent such a bright new star to him. own subordinates.

A young man in gorgeous clothes with a cold expression hugged his shoulders and looked at Cristiano Ronaldo running on the field, and asked Ferguson: "Is this the magical boy you said?"

Ferguson nodded and said, "Mr. McMillan, this young man is very good. If he is given another three or five years, he is likely to become the world's top player."

The young man who spoke,

It was George Macmillan who was beaten by Li Mu at the Goldberg family salon the other day.

George Macmillan himself is a playboy and a football lover. Tomorrow is Manchester United's first game of the season, so he made a special trip to see the team's training situation.

In the past few days, George MacMillan heard that Ferguson had won a talented player, so he deliberately ran over to see.

Cristiano Ronaldo's performance on the pitch is indeed commendable, but George MacMillan is not sure whether he has the potential to become a superstar, but he has another thing to explain to Ferguson this time.

So, he asked Ferguson: "By the way, the young player surnamed Dong who said he was going to be introduced from China last time, where is he now?"

Ferguson thought for a while and said: "That player is really good, we have basically decided to get him, and his current club is also willing to release him, but it's a matter of price, and 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, so he said: "We are still conducting routine price consultations with them, mainly hoping to squeeze some more on the other party's offer."

George MacMillan asked, "How much does the other party want?"

"It is currently £4.5 million, payable in one lump sum."

George MacMillan asked again: "What about your target price?"

"£3.5 million, to be paid in instalments."

George MacMillan waved his hand and said, "It's not much worse, 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, what are your plans to bring him in in such a hurry? His labor certificate will not be resolved for a while, and even if he joins now, he can only be loaned 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, and after he signs, loan him to Antwerp, Let him go to Antwerp and sit me on the bench for five years!"

Ferguson's back is hairy, is George MacMillan trying to hide Dong Fangzhuo's snow? How did this Chinese player, who has never been to the UK, provoke George Macmillan, so that he had such a vicious plan in his heart?

A professional player, if he can only sit on the bench in the club at the most golden stage, and may sit for five years at a time, 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 be defeated. At that time, the players are like brothel women who have no money to redeem themselves and can only spend them in the brothel.

How much hatred does George Macmillan have with this Dong Fangzhuo, to make him have such vicious thoughts?

Before Ferguson could ask the question, George MacMillan said coldly: "Jazz, I hope this can be done before the summer transfer window closes."

Ferguson was about to speak when George MacMillan took the lead and said, "Remember what I said just now, and get him to me as soon as possible!"

With that, George Macmillan raised his legs and left.

Ferguson looked at his back, shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Although he has a lot of influence in Manchester United, it is also a normal situation. Once the Macmillan family intervenes, it is an abnormal situation. Even if it is myself, it cannot disobey the order of the Macmillan family.

In this way, we can only contact Huaxia as soon as possible to meet their requirements and let them agree to the contract as soon as possible.

Watching George McMillan leave the court, Ferguson suddenly caught a glimpse of Jorge Mendes on the side of the court, with a smile on his face, he waved at him, and said, "Hey, Jorge!"

Jorge Mendes saw that Ferguson was waving at him, he waved his hand in response, and walked towards him.

He knew that to take Cristiano Ronaldo off the training ground, he had to nod past Ferguson.

So he stepped up to Ferguson and said with a smile, "Good afternoon, Sir Ferguson."

Ferguson asked with a smile, "Why do you have time to come here?"

Jorge Mendes laughed: "I'm here for Cristiano Ronaldo."

"Looking for him?" Ferguson asked in surprise: "Are you looking for him?"

Ferguson was a little surprised and puzzled at the same time. Although Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to him by Jorge Mendes, he felt that since the sale had been done, he still came to look for Cristiano Ronaldo, which would be the case. It's a little weird.

Jorge Mendes also knew that Ferguson was suspicious, and said with a smile: "I signed a few more young players from Portugal and wanted to send them to the Premier League, and Cristiano Ronaldo happens to be the best young player in Portugal. One, so I want to ask him to come over to have a meal together to teach these new little guys some experience and give them a little encouragement."

Ferguson asked curiously: "Portuguese young players? Is there a suitable introduction to me?"

Jorge Mendes said complimentingly: "Sir Ferguson, your team is the best in the world, how can I have so many players who meet your requirements! This time, there are some relatively average young players, basically They're all going to be sent to second-rate clubs."

Ferguson was complimented a few times, laughed and nodded. If it was an ordinary player, he would definitely not be interested.

Jorge Mendes looked at the time and said to Ferguson with a smile: "Sir Ferguson, if it is convenient, I would like to leave with Cristiano Ronaldo for a while, not too long, maybe two How do you feel about the hour?"

Ferguson said: "Tomorrow is our opening game of the season. I'm going to let Cristiano Ronaldo come off the bench in the second half to feel it, so today's training is quite important for him."

Jorge Mendes continued to flatter his ass and said: "Sir Ferguson, tomorrow's game, even without Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United will definitely be able to win, and he is a newcomer, you don't have to give him too much. The pressure on him will make it easier for him to perform at a super-standard level.”

Ferguson nodded. In fact, how Cristiano Ronaldo will be tomorrow is not important to him. Tomorrow's game will be easy for Manchester United. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo plays, it will only be around the 80th minute. At times, the substitutes have a meeting with the Premier League audience in advance, so as long as he can maintain his best state, it is enough, and there is no need to put too much pressure.

What's more, Jorge Mendes is a high-quality "supplier" in the football market, and Ferguson didn't want to strain his relationship, so he was going to give him a favor.

Then, Ferguson shouted into the stadium: "Hey, Cristiano! Come here!"

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was in contact with his teammates to pass the ball, heard the coach calling him and rushed to the sidelines after passing the ball to his teammates.

When he came over, he also saw Jorge Mendes next to Ferguson. Jorge Mendes is his agent, but under normal circumstances, he has no reason to come to the team to find himself, which makes Cristia No Ronaldo was also a little surprised.

Coming to the sidelines, Cristiano Ronaldo greeted Ferguson and Jorge Mendes respectively, Ferguson pointed to Jorge Mendes and said to Cristiano Ronaldo: "Jorge has something to do with you. , you go with him first."

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded lightly, and without asking why, Jorge Mendes came up and took him by the shoulders and said with a smile: "Go, go see some Portuguese players at my place."

"Portuguese players? New?" Cristiano Ronaldo was intrigued.

Playing alone in the Premier League with a new club, Cristiano Ronaldo also felt lonely, and when he heard that Jorge Mendes had several Portuguese players there, he was immediately 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 dressing room together. Cristiano Ronaldo turned his head and asked Jorge Mendes: "Which teams did the new Portuguese players sign?"

Jorge Mendes waved his hand and smiled: "There are no Portuguese players at all. I said this on purpose to deceive Ferguson."

"What?" Cristiano Ronaldo asked with a look of incomprehension: "Why lie to Sir Alex Ferguson? What 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 be with your agent, not your head coach, Trust me, only the agent is the one who wishes you the best, and the coach isn't even in the top five."

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded again and again and said: "Mr Mendes, I know this very well, and I have always kept it in mind, I just have some respect for Sir Alex Ferguson, I think we should not lie to him, that's all, after all, he is the Queen's Sir Hoon."

Jorge Mendes sneered and asked, "Do you know what level Ferguson is?"

"Of course." Cristiano Ronaldo nodded and said, "Sir Ferguson has been awarded the KBE by the Queen herself."

Although Cristiano Ronaldo is Portuguese, the whole of Europe is very clear about the British royal family and the Queen of England.

Jorge Mendes smiled and said, "I'll take you to meet someone higher than him, and take you to see a great god who has awarded GBE."

Cristiano Ronaldo asked in surprise: "Who is it? I've been stunned by you."

Jorge Mendes couldn't hide the excitement on his face and blurted out: "I'll take you to see Li Mu, who was just awarded the GBE Medal by the Queen today, and he wants to see you by name!"
