Chapter 1,071 Everyone Has Their Own Thoughts

Scholes' retirement makes fans all over the world regret that they will no longer have the opportunity to appreciate the performance of this midfield maestro.

But for young people like Pogba and Anderson, this is great because they have one less competitor.

Although Scholes was no longer the absolute main force in the second half of the past season, Manchester United's midfield combination is generally Fletcher, Gao Xiaodong, Valencia and Nani, but Valencia and Nani are only suitable for the wings. An avant-garde or a winger cannot be used as a defensive midfielder. Gao Xiaodong's offensive talents are a bit of a waste when he is a defensive midfielder. Scholes retires and Carrick is old. Manchester United will lose a rotation midfielder.

Both Pogba and Anderson play as defensive midfielders, and they both want to be in the position, but no matter which club they are in, getting to the position does not entirely rely on strength, especially when your strength is not superior to others, the relationship is even more important. It's important.

While Gao Xiaodong has not left the UK, Pogba and Anderson have not left either these days. They often go to Gao Xiaodong's house when they have nothing to do, hoping to get closer to Gao Xiaodong and win Gao Xiaodong's support in the new season.

Pogba and Anderson are Gao Xiaodong's "little brothers" at Manchester United, but their closeness is definitely different. Pogba is a player in the agency invested by Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong will definitely fully support Pogba in Manchester United, but Gao Xiaodong Xiaodong cannot alienate a younger brother like Anderson. Gao Xiaodong still has ambitions in Manchester United. He hopes to be the captain and the core. Naturally, he must have a group of people who support him. Therefore, Gao Xiaodong also expressed strong support for Anderson and maintained his superficial impartiality. Not leaning.

Pogba went to Gao Xiaodong's house every day. Unexpectedly, one day Mendes happened to come to Gao Xiaodong and bumped into him at Gao Xiaodong's house.

Mendes has always wanted to take Pogba under his wing, but in the end Pogba did not choose Mendes, the most famous and powerful, but signed a contract with the little-known Xinglong Agency.

Mendes has always suspected that Xinglong Agency is probably owned by Gao Xiaodong. At least Gao Xiaodong has shares in this company. Pogba signed with Xinglong Agency in order to get Gao Xiaodong's help.

Mendes didn't have any evidence, so he could only keep these suspicions in his heart. However, when he saw Pogba at Gao Xiaodong's house this time, especially when he saw Pogba's free and casual appearance, Mendes' doubts became clear. Three more points added.

However, even if it is confirmed that Pogba signed a contract with Gao Xiaodong's agency, Mendes will not directly fall out with Gao Xiaodong, nor dare to fall out with Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong is now famous, even if a big-name agent like Mendes There is nothing anyone can do against Gao Xiaodong now.

Now for Mendes, as long as Gao Xiaodong doesn't show off with him, he can only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, pretending not to know anything, and even said hello to Pogba politely.

Mendes pretended to be very innocent,

Gao Xiaodong naturally pretended that Pogba and he were just ordinary friends.

After Mendes entered, Pogba also knew that he was not suitable to stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Gao Xiaodong and left.

After Pogba left, Mendes said casually: "This young man is very talented. After Scholes retires, he has great hope of taking over."

Gao Xiaodong said: "It's not big, there are Carrick, Hargreaves and Anderson in front of him."

Mendes smiled and said: "Carrick is 30 years old. Even if Hargreaves recovers from his injury, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to his original state. Anderson, this kid is not very live up to expectations."

Anderson is Mendes' man and was once elected as the European Golden Boy. Unfortunately, he did not realize his full potential after coming to Manchester United, which disappointed Mendes.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Anderson was delayed by injuries. I believe he will be better next season. Don't worry, Mr. Mendes, I will help him."

Gao Xiaodong's words reassured Mendes, because Gao Xiaodong was showing goodwill to him. Since Gao Xiaodong wanted to show goodwill, it meant that Gao Xiaodong was not ready to leave him and Gedfoot Company.

Gao Xiaodong not leaving is the biggest benefit to Mendes. As long as Gao Xiaodong is the trump card, Mendes will have enough say in football.

Of course, Mendes had other purposes for coming to Gao Xiaodong today.

"Well, you have to help Anderson. He still has great potential and can be a good helper for you. I will tell Nani, Anderson, Bebe, and Hernandez to let them unite around you." Des still tried his best to win over Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "No need to give me any special instructions. They helped me a lot. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to integrate into Manchester United so quickly."

Mendes said: "You guys played really well this year. You won the Triple Crown. This is really a result that I can't even imagine."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "It's just average, I already got it last year."

Mendes smiled and said: "Winning the Triple Crown in Serie A is different from the Premier League. The Premier League is much more difficult than Serie A. Well, these days, there are rumors on the Internet and in the media that you want to transfer. The Manchester United manager told me He called me several times and asked me what was going on? Xiaodong, did you say something wrong that caused reporters and fans to misunderstand."

Gao Xiaodong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, I have stayed well at Manchester United. Why do I need to transfer? Mr. Mendes, if I want to transfer, I will definitely say hello to you first."

When Mendes heard this, he looked relieved and said: "Oh, that's good, that's good... Mendes pondered for a moment and then said: "But I think what the media said makes sense. The current situation is similar to that of Inter Milan. Looking at Inter Milan this year, I am worried that Manchester United will make the same mistake as Inter Milan next year. "

Gao Xiaodong was a little confused and said, "Mr. Mendes, what do you mean? I can't keep up with your rhythm."

Mendes said: "There are some things you may not know. Don't look at Manchester United winning the Triple Crown this season. In fact, before Edwin van der Sar and Paul Scholes retired, Giggs, Ferdinand, Evra, and Kari After the aging of the club, Manchester United is already in a period of recession, and the Glazer family has a lot of debts. They still have no money to continue investing next season. With the current group of people alone, I am worried that Manchester United will collapse next season."

Gao Xiaodong was also doubtful after being told by Mendes. Although he has absolute confidence in his own strength, football is not a one-person sport. If the owner of Manchester United does not invest money, Manchester United will really have some difficulties next season.

Gao Xiaodong deliberately followed Mendes' words and said, "Mr. Mendes, what do you think we should do?"

Mendes said: "In fact, transfer is a good opportunity to avoid danger. Now Real Madrid and Manchester City still don't give up on you, and they have offered you nearly twice the annual salary Manchester United gives you."

Double the annual salary? ! Gao Xiaodong's little heart couldn't help but beat wildly. This is an annual salary of close to 30 million euros. Real Madrid and Manchester City are both big players. They sign a lot of players every year. If he really transfers to these two teams, he can win the championship. is more likely.

However, Gao Xiaodong then thought again. Manchester United was not that strong this season. Didn't they still win the Triple Crown? Ferguson valued him so highly, how could he leave him without any reason? At least he had to help him win a few more Be a champion.

Mendes was very happy to see Gao Xiaodong moved. In his heart, Gao Xiaodong would leave him sooner or later, so Mendes felt that he could earn more transfer fees, so he wanted to persuade Gao Xiaodong to transfer. Will be Real Madrid.

However, Gao Xiaodong pondered for a while and then said to Mendes: "Mr. Mendes, transfers have been too fast in the past few years. I think the impact is not good. I hope to stay at Manchester United for two more years."

Mendes was very disappointed after hearing this, but he did not show it and said: "Okay, it is not bad to stay at Manchester United. The teammates and coaches are familiar with it. Sir Alex Ferguson is an experienced and talented coach. Under his leadership, Manchester United may not be Can’t defend the title.”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Yes, Sir Alex is the guarantee of victory."

Mendes said: "Although you are not transferring, I think your annual salary should be a little longer."

Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: "Didn't the contract just be signed? If I ask for a salary increase now, do the club and Sir Alex think I'm too greedy?"

Aren't you greedy? Mendes sneered in his heart, but what came out of his mouth was something else, "We don't want a salary increase. It's forced by the media and fans. As long as we take advantage of it, I believe the club will behave." I proactively give you a raise.

"Is there such a good thing? Then try it."

Of course Gao Xiaodong would not object to a salary increase. Although it seemed a bit greedy, in order to win the championship, Gao Xiaodong used all the special points, so it was appropriate to charge some interest, Gao Xiaodong thought.
