In the quarter-finals of the League Cup on December 18, Manchester United defeated Stoke City 3-0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup.
Jin Taige was enjoying the joy of winning the game, but he suddenly received a call, which gave him an unexpected surprise!
The bus carried the soldiers of Manchester United back to Manchester from the Stoke area. Along the way, the Manchester United players were in high spirits. Everyone excitedly chatted about the game, joked and enjoyed the joy of victory. Jin Taige sat in the middle of the bus, he mingled with the players and the atmosphere was very warm.
At this moment, Jin Taige's mobile phone rang suddenly. He picked it up and looked at it, and was stunned.
Mourinho? How could it be him?
Kintag has no friendship with Mourinho. The two have met three times in total. The first time was at the reception at the beginning of the season, the second time was the second round of the league, and the third time was when De Blau was asked a few days ago. internal transfers.
Jin Taige got up and left his seat, and went to the front of the bus, where it was a little quieter, he connected the phone.
"Mr. Mourinho, hello."
Mourinho's deep voice came over the phone: "Mr. Tiger, congratulations to your team for successfully advancing to the semi-finals of the League Cup. It seems that you are about to win your first championship in your coaching career."
"Thank you, I hope to lend you luck."
Mourinho jokingly said: "I very much hope that after you win the League Cup, you will be less eager for the league championship."
Jin Taige shook his head and said, "I don't think too much of a champion."
"I know, your goal is the Triple Crown," Mourinho raised his lips slightly on the other end of the phone, "but my goal is also the Triple Crown, but I didn't tell the media."
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you at the Champions League final."
"it is good!"
The two chatted for a while, and Jin Taige asked tentatively: "Mr. Mourinho, you called me today, shouldn't you just chat?"
Mourinho did not answer, he paused for a few seconds, and then asked Kintag abruptly: "Are you still interested in De Bruyne?"
Jin Taige was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"
"20 million euros!" Mourinho said firmly, "If you can come up with an offer of 20 million euros, I will agree to Manchester United's transfer application!"

"This price is no problem! I will ask the club officials to issue a new transfer application to Chelsea now!"
Jin Taige was ecstatic in his heart at this time, he never thought that after a few days, Mourinho actually changed his mind. Before he bid 18 million euros, he didn't agree. It's only been two days, he just raised 2 million euros, which is nothing at all!
Mountain darkly, vista!
Mourinho on the other end of the phone thought about it: "From your tone of voice, is my price going to be lower? It seems that it can be raised a little more."
When Jin Taige heard it, he was dumbfounded: "Mr. Mourinho, you"
"I'm just kidding you, Mr. Tiger." Mourinho smiled, "It's not a Chelsea tradition to sit on the ground and raise the price. 20 million euros, once the transfer application arrives, you can negotiate with De Bruyne. But I have to tell you in advance that we have agreed to the Bundesliga team Wolfsburg's bid of 18 million euros, and if you are slow, De Bruyne may have agreed to the German's request."
"Don't worry, I will let the club submit a transfer application now!"
"That's good. That's it, good night, Mr. Tiger." Mourinho hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone in his hand, Jin Taige shook his fist twice fiercely, as if the team had scored a key goal. He is so happy that the breaking of Mourinho's ice is decisive for De Bruyne's transfer.
Jin Taige did not hesitate, he immediately called Woodward,
Ask Woodward to quickly arrange a transfer official, and immediately send a fax of the transfer application to the Chelsea club, and the fee is mentioned as 20 million euros.
Woodward heard Kintag's urgent request, and based on the tacit cooperation experience of the two, he knew that this matter was very important to Kintag. Without hesitation, Woodward immediately arranged for his transfer officials to submit the application.
But Woodward felt a little uncertain: Chelsea won't be so easily moved by just adding 2 million euros, right?
"An increase of 2 million euros?"
"Of course, I have already rejected Jin Taige's offer twice, so I can't sell it for 18 million euros this time, so I am too embarrassed."
In a villa in London, Mourinho is talking to a middle-aged man in a suit.

Mourinho was very puzzled: "I'm a little curious, why did you come forward in person to help Kintag speak and facilitate this transfer?"
"I'm just curious about Kintag. Anyway, you have to sell De Bruyne to the Germans and Kintag, there is no difference. It's better to get a favor, maybe you can use it in the future."
"Well, do I need to find a chance to tell him?"
"up to you."
"Are you interested in him?"
"A little bit. But he is still too young. There are too many outstanding young coaches in these years, and he is not missing."
"Yeah, even a genius like Villas-Boas has failed in the Premier League. It seems that this is really a good place to test coaches."
"After he finishes this season, let's see the results."
Mourinho nodded, and he said in a low voice: "Although I don't like De Bruyne, I admit that he is a genius. Letting him go to Manchester United this time, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
And the middle-aged man in a suit didn't speak. He leaned on the sofa, squinting his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the bus arrived in Manchester, Kintag said a few words to Scholes, got off the bus early, took a taxi, and walked away.
Ferran, who was sitting in the back row, came over: "Paul, where is Tiger going? He was in a hurry, and he didn't say goodbye to everyone."
Scholes explained: "The captain saw that many people were asleep, so he didn't disturb everyone. He said he had something to deal with, and he asked for a day off tomorrow, so that the two of us are responsible for the team's training. He will probably come back the day after tomorrow, so there should be no delay. The league in three days' time."
"What's the matter, so anxious?" Ferran muttered.
Because I sat with Kintag just now, Scholes heard about De Bruyne's affairs. The bus was slowly moving towards Carrington, Scholes looked out the window at the direction where Kintag was leaving, and he silently blessed in his heart.
Captain, I hope you can achieve immediate success this time and sign De Bruyne smoothly.
I really want to take a look, what level is the person you mentioned who can inherit my position? (Successor of the Red Devils)
