Chapter 447: Three Minutes of Face
From the airport to the Yanjing Intercontinental Hotel where they stayed, the players had lunch accompanied by personnel from the Yanjing Football Association and Hesheng Sports Company. update the fastest
After the meal, under the leadership of Gao Xiaodong, the Inter Milan players went to Silk Street together.
The shops on Xiushui Street have a lot of counterfeit products, which look the same as the genuine ones, but the prices are so low that people are frightened. In addition, the boss can speak eloquently. Almost every big-name Inter Milan player who fools around has two counterfeit mobile phones. Balotelli bought two for himself. One copycat iPhone and two copycat BlackBerry phones.
Gao Xiaodong didn't stop them, none of these teammates were short of money, if they were willing to spend money, let them spend it, which was equivalent to adding bricks and tiles to socialist construction.
Of course, while shopping, fans kept coming to ask for autographs, and shopping obviously has the effect of improving mood. At this time, as long as fans came forward, the Inter Milan stars did not refuse, and they were quite friendly.
After shopping, Mourinho felt that he had already had a lot of communication with the fans today, so he gave up going to the Inter Milan store to interact with the fans and let the players go back to the room to rest.
The next afternoon, Inter Milan held their first training session at the Yanjing Olympic Sports Center.
This training session was public. About 3,000 fans and more than 100 reporters came to the stadium to watch Inter Milan's training. The number of fans was about 6 times that of Lazio's first day of training.
In addition to the Inter Milan stars who were training, the most eye-catching one was Gao Bo, the head coach of the Huaguo team who sat in the stands and watched Inter Milan train.
Gao Bo is an easy-to-learn local coach, and whenever he has the opportunity, he will conduct business exchanges with "high-level peers". When Manchester United came to China last month, Gao Bo communicated with Sir Alex Ferguson for more than an hour in Jiangnan Province .
This time Gao Bo hopes to communicate with the madman Mourinho.
At the end of the training session, Gao Bo walked down the stands with an interpreter, and stopped Mourinho when he was walking towards the parking lot, "Hi Coach Jose, I'm Gao Bo, I want to talk to you ?”
Mourinho didn't know Gao Bo, thought he was an ordinary fan, so he ignored him and continued to walk towards the parking lot.
The Inter Milan official who accompanied Mourinho whispered to Mourinho: "This is Gao Bo, the head coach of the Hua Guo team, and I want to communicate with you."
Mourinho paused, glanced at Gao Bo, and said, "Let's talk about it after training tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Mourinho didn't save Gao Bo any face,
Turned around and left.
Gao Bo didn't expect Mourinho to be so arrogant. Even the head coach of the Hua Guo team didn't care about him. He was just like treating ordinary fans. He was stunned for a while, and even Gao Xiaodong passed by without noticing .
Gao Xiaodong saw that Gao Bo didn't say hello to him, nor took the initiative to talk to Gao Bo, so he walked over quickly.
The next day, because Mourinho and Moratti were going to attend a charity banquet, Inter Milan arrived at the Olympic Sports Center two hours earlier than the stipulated training time. Since the tourists in the venue were not cleared at that time, the staff prohibited Inter Milan from traveling together. Entering the stadium, after negotiating with the stadium management personnel, Inter Milan was able to enter the stadium for training.
After the training, Mourinho completely forgot what he said to Gao Bo yesterday after today's training, and directly led the team to leave the Olympic Sports Center.
Gao Bo came to the Olympic Sports Center according to the normal time and waited for Inter Milan to come to train, but he and the translator waited in the office for almost an hour before he knew that Inter Milan had finished training.
Gao Bo was so angry that his face was livid. He only communicated with Manchester United Ferguson last month. Ferguson is not inferior to Mourinho in terms of wealth and status, but Ferguson is very approachable and does not feel superior. Thinking of Mourinho being so arrogant, he was rejected twice.
Next, Gao Bo will be difficult to deal with. If he stops here, this person will lose his home. If he continues to look for Mourinho, once Mourinho refuses again, Gao Bo's face will be thrown to the Atlantic.
After much deliberation, Gao Bo decided to make the breakthrough on Gao Xiaodong.
Although Gao Bo knew Gao Xiaodong, but the relationship was not close, so Gao Bo called Gao Xiaodong's agent, Chen Qiang, and explained his thoughts, hoping that Gao Xiaodong could speak well in front of Mourinho , Let Mourinho communicate with himself, no matter how long it takes, as long as Mourinho communicates with himself, Gao Bo's face will be completely recovered.
Chen Qiang personally called and asked Gao Xiaodong to persuade Mourinho to give Gao Bo a chance to step down.
Gao Xiaodong can't pretend he doesn't know now, so he has no choice but to go to Mourinho and tell Mourinho what Gao Bo wants to ask him for advice.
When Mourinho heard this, he was surprised and said: "You actually spoke for him. He became the head coach of the national team but he didn't call you."
This matter is very complicated, Gao Xiaodong didn't know how to tell Mourinho, so he had to smile wryly: "You can't blame him for this?"
Mourinho sneered: "Whether you blame him or not, even a player like you is not recruited into the national team. What else can he learn from me?"
Gao Xiaodong sighed, "It's just to save face."
Mourinho finally nodded half-understanding, and said, "Okay, after training tomorrow, I will give him face."
During the training on the second day, Gao Bo waited in the stands to watch Inter Milan’s training. Before the training ended, Gao Bo got off the stands and waited on the sidelines. He first greeted Gao Xiaodong in Chinese, “Thank you, Xiaodong. .”
Gao Xiaodong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, Director Gao, you can talk to Mourinho, I'm going to take a shower first."
Gao Xiaodong went to take a shower with his teammates, and Gao Bo excitedly walked towards Mourinho and said, "Hi, Coach Jose."
Mourinho nodded with a serious expression: "Hello."
"I'm so glad to see you, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to give me some advice." Gao Bo said.
Mourinho still didn't smile, and said, "You're welcome."
Gao Bo said again: "I have communicated with Professor Love, Wenger, and Professor Ferguson, and I feel that I have benefited a lot. I wonder if you can give me any advice on how to select players?"
Mourinho said slightly sarcastically: "I don't even like players like Gao Xiaodong, so it's hard for me to give you any advice."
Gao Bo was a little embarrassed, and said, "I think the Hua Guo team members generally lack confidence. Can you tell us how to build confidence for the players?"
Mourinho said: "Confidence can only be obtained by winning, and I can't elaborate on the others. Well, I still have to attend a press conference. Let's talk next time."
After speaking, Mourinho turned and left.
From meeting and greeting to answering questions, Mourinho only gave Gao Bo less than three minutes in total. This kind of communication seemed to give Gao Bo face, but in fact it was no different from slapping Gao Bo in the face.
Gao Bo stared dumbfounded at Mourinho leaving, his face turned red and then pale. Now he really understands why Mourinho is called a madman, and he also understands that in the eyes of a world-class coach like Mourinho, he It doesn't count. If it weren't for his high profile, Mourinho might not even give him three minutes of face. (to be continued...) r
