Chapter 455 2009 Summer Transfer⑤
Fang Jue arranged for his assistant Steve Werner to convey a message to super agent Jorge Mendes: Aston Villa is interested in his Brazilian player Diego Costa.
Yes, the guy Clement and Deisler were talking about who had a fight with Ives was Diego Costa.
And Diego Costa's agent is Jorge Mendes, or more precisely Mendes' agency.
Fang Jue was not sure if Diego Costa's agent was Mendes himself, or just a staff member of Mendes' agency.
Mendes' agency has many players. Only when the player's reputation and strength reach a certain level will the super agent Mendes be directly responsible. Other players are usually assigned exclusive agents to take care of them.
Of course, in terms of contract law, Mendes is Diego Costa's agent.
This is also the official reason why Clemente, Deisler and others will look at Fang Jue with weird expressions. The head coach and Marina Mendes's former relationship is clear to Fang Jue's direct descendants. It was Fang Jue who wanted to discuss business with his ex-girlfriend's father...
Fang Jue didn't expect that Diego Costa was actually a player under Mendes' agency.
It's always a little guilty to win the juicy cabbage that other families have worked so hard to raise.
What's more, now there is more and more evidence that Marina gave birth to a baby for him. This is to have a meeting with the child's grandfather, Fang Jue feels even more guilty.
He now hopes that Diego Costa will only be in charge of an ordinary agent of Mendes' agency, rather than Mendes himself.
On the one hand, it can temporarily avoid meeting with Mendes. In addition, it also shows that Mendes' economic company does not pay enough attention to Diego Costa, which will help to win the Brazilian striker at the minimum cost.
...
On August 15th, the first round of the 2009/2010 Premier League season, Aston Villa played against Wigan Athletic at home.
This is also Fang Jue's first official game as coach of Aston Villa.
The game was held at 19:45 pm local time in England. At noon of the day, Fang Jue received a call.
"Hello, Mr. Fang Jue, I'm Diego Costa's agent, Jorge Mendes." A hearty voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Mendez, I've heard you famous for a long time." Fang Jue said politely.
He was surprised. Fang Jue really didn't expect that it was Mendes who called in person. Of course, with his current status, he could have a direct conversation with this super agent. To his surprise, Hao Erge Mendes claimed to be Diego Costa's agent.
As expected of a famous super agent, his vision is indeed very good.
Now he directly takes the not-yet-famous Diego Costa into his own hands.
The title of 'Super Agent' really wasn't blown out.
Fang Jue didn't know that before this call, the agent who had been serving Diego Costa was Armando Silva, and he was Mendes' subordinate.
It was at the moment when Mendes said this that Diego Costa suddenly became a player that Mendes was personally responsible for.
reason?
Aston Villa eyeing Diego Costa.
Or to put it more bluntly, Fang Jue fell in love with Diego Costa.
As the most popular champion coach in European football, Mendes naturally pays close attention to Fang Jue. He has also carefully studied Fang Jue's coaching resume. The more he studies, the more shocked he is.
The young stars that Fang Jue cultivated in Ibiza made Mendes envious, and Fang Jue himself made Mendes envious.
He also considered signing Fang Jue and becoming Fang Jue's agent.
However, there has never been a good opportunity to get in touch. The champion coach at Fang Jue's level is no longer recommended by Mendes, just say 'I am Jorge Mendes', and then communicate, and the other party immediately Gladly agreed to the situation too.
As a young coach who is a popular champion in European football, it is not easy to poach him.
But Fangjue fell in love with Diego Costa under his agency, Mendes was overjoyed, and immediately decided to assign Diego Costa directly to him, and he was directly responsible. Opportunity, get in touch with Fang Jue, and establish a good cooperative relationship.
This is very important, and it is also what Mendes values most. Even if Fang Jue cannot become the coach of his company, he must maintain a good relationship.
Unlike another super agent who often has a deadlocked relationship with the club where his players play, Mendes is very good at doing things, pays attention to handling the relationship with the club, and tries his best to maintain a relationship between the agency, players and the club. Find a win-win point acceptable to all three parties.
It is precisely because of this that among the European giants, Mendes is much more popular than Raiola.
In the eyes of Mendes, Fang Jue is a great potential stock, and we must make good friends with this person.
It's important to have a good relationship with an up-and-coming champion coach.
Especially with Mendes' contacts, he knows that Fang Jue's wife is actually the owner of Aston Villa and the future chairman of the club. In this case, Fang Jue, the head coach, has nothing to say .
"Fang, I have received information that you are interested in Diego Costa." Jorge Mendes' voice was not high, but very powerful, "If Diego can play under your hands, I will very happy."
"To be honest, I am very optimistic about Diego. In my opinion, this kid is the most suitable for playing in the Premier League." Mendes said with a hearty smile.
Fang Jue was overjoyed by Jorge Mendes' attitude.
Fang Jue wanted to get Diego Costa, and Jorge Mendes confirmed his willingness to play in Aston Villa on behalf of the player and the agency behind the player.
Now, all that remains is to negotiate with Atletico Madrid.
The two talked happily, and Mendes was also in a good mood. He felt that Fang Jue respected him very much and his attitude was very humble. , but so humble, without arrogance, it is really rare.
The one who ended the call was Jorge Mendes who said with a smile that when Fang Jue and Miss Evelyn Papa Karina hold their wedding, they must remember to send him a wedding invitation.
Fang Jue's forehead was sweating, and he could only say, definitely.
He was sure now that Mendez didn't know anything about Marina and him.
What he wasn't sure about was if Mendes knew the truth of the matter...
Wuhan has been unsealed, hello, hot dry noodles, welcome back to the team.
