Chapter 527: One Step Each

After talking with Gao Xiaodong, Mendes came to Mourinho's house, modified Gao Xiaodong's reaction and told Mourinho.

Mourinho was not surprised by Gao Xiaodong's reaction at all. Gao Xiaodong is not a disadvantaged person. If he doesn't take advantage, it is a disadvantage for him. It is definitely impossible for him to give up the midfielder position casually.

"If Gao Xiaodong will easily give up the position of the midfielder, I won't let you communicate with him first." Mourinho said lightly, "However, Inter Milan needs a Sneijder, and they only rely on Gao Xiaodong. We can't be favorites for the title."

Mendes said slowly: "Jose, in fact, you and Barcelona were tied. Inter Milan won 20 at home and lost 20 away to Barcelona. Without Sneijder and Pandev, Inter Milan also Championship favourites."

Mourinho said with an excited expression: "Jorge, the situation of qualifying for the Champions League group stage is now very clear. In the last round, we will compete with Barcelona for the top spot in the group, but no matter whether the group is first or second Second, we all have the possibility to meet giants. If we are a bit unlucky, we may all meet giants in the quarter-finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals. So many vicious fights, relying on Gao Xiaodong alone Can it work? Can it be done by luck alone?"

Mendes understands why Mourinho is excited. Since winning the Champions League in 2004, Mourinho has never been the king of Europe. In the fierce and cruel professional football, the media and fans are the easiest Forgotten, the reputation of Guardiola, who has just debuted, has already surpassed Mourinho, and Mourinho must be very anxious.

Mendes smiled slightly, went over and patted Mourinho on the shoulder, gave him a glass of red wine, and said, "I understand the importance of the Champions League to you, but you must be careful, if Gao Xiaodong disagrees, you introduce Sneh Germany may cause internal conflicts, and then Inter Milan's combat effectiveness will not only not increase, but will decrease."

Mourinho stared at the coffee table and pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Maybe he will agree to give up the position of the midfielder after giving Gao Xiaodong a little favor. He wanted to be the captain a while ago. After the last round of the group stage, he might as well let him He was the vice-captain of the team."

Mendes laughed when he heard this, and said: "This kid is very addicted to being an official, and he wants to be the captain everywhere, but this benefit may not be enough for him to give up the position of the front midfielder. After all, this position often symbolizes the quality of the ball. The heart of the team."

Mourinho smiled and said: "Then let him be a free man in the frontcourt, he can play anywhere in the frontcourt at will, attacking midfielder, forward, defensive midfielder, winger, whatever he wants."

Mendez's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's good. Give him the privilege of Messi, this kid must be very happy." But Mendes immediately worried again: "Will this cause a loss of status?" The overlapping and the confusion of the formation caused dissatisfaction among teammates in the same position."

Mourinho shook his head and said, "Don't worry,

Of course I will give him a major position, such as a full-back, and Gao Xiaodong is very smart and will not do anything that affects the team's winning. The most important thing is that we need to attract Sneijder first, Double insurance for the team's championship. "

Although Mendes felt that Mourinho's method may not be appropriate, but seeing that Mourinho was so determined to introduce Sneijder, he could only agree.

In the evening, Mourinho hosted a banquet for Mendes and Gao Xiaodong at his home. At the beginning, everyone just talked about some interesting things in the football and film world. Seeing that the atmosphere was more harmonious, Mourinho told Gao Xiaodong what he thought. .

"Xiaodong, your skills are very comprehensive, and you can play in any position. There is no need to compete with Sneijder. Since you came to Inter Milan, I have been thinking about how to play your best role. Now I think you are the most suitable. The most important position is a free man, who can play freely in the midfield and change positions at will."

"We are only one game away from the group qualifying. I said, after the group qualifying, I will consider you as the team's deputy. I will announce it after I finish playing Rubin Kazan next week, but the captain not only means power. And reputation, it also means responsibility and sacrifice, I hope you will be a good example for your teammates and not discredit the club."

Free man? vice captain?

These two blockbusters made Gao Xiaodong a little dizzy. Of course, he hopes to become the captain of a giant like Inter Milan. Similarly, as a player, there is no one who does not want to be a free agent, and he can play wherever he wants.

But Gao Xiaodong can't believe that Mourinho, who has always been strict in discipline, will give him such a large degree of freedom. Generally speaking, only superstars like Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, and Ronaldinho have this qualification. Although he is considered a wrist now, his reputation and ability are not as good as superstars like Eto'o, Maicon, and Zanetti. Can they agree to play a free agent?

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Coach, you're not joking, are you? If I hit a free agent, I won't be the enemy of the whole team."

Mourinho said seriously: "Xiao Dong, are you so unconfident in yourself? As long as you can perform well and help the team win, I guarantee that no one will dare to disagree."

The word "dare" in Mourinho's last sentence was domineering, leaving Gao Xiaodong speechless, but Mourinho did have the courage and confidence. When he was at Chelsea, the boss Abramovich bought the Golden Globe winner Shevchenko hopes that Mourinho can reuse him, but Mourinho dares to put him on the bench at the risk of being fired, which is not something ordinary coaches can do.

Of course, Gao Xiaodong also vaguely heard the threat in Mourinho's words. If Gao Xiaodong refused to eat the toast, there would be a fine drink later, Gao Xiaodong was not sure.

However, since Mourinho has made sacrifices and concessions, Gao Xiaodong can no longer insist on his own opinion. He is a smart person who understands current affairs. He has all-round super professional football skills and awareness. After receiving such generous compensation, it would be meaningless to have conflicts with Mourinho and cause mutual damage. He said, "Okay, since the coach trusts me so much, of course I will follow the coach's arrangements. You also know me."

After Mourinho said these conditions, he was also very worried that Gao Xiaodong would refuse. Although he wanted Sneijder as the team's double insurance, he never wanted to have conflicts between Sneijder and Gao Xiaodong.

Hearing that Gao Xiaodong agreed, Mourinho was finally relieved, and said with a smile: "Xiaodong, you have always been the person I trust and value the most. I believe in you, and you will play at a high level in any position. "

Mendes also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't talk about it. Mourinho, Luo and Gao Xiaodong are his three most valued clients, and he absolutely doesn't want Gao Xiaodong and Mourinho to have conflicts.

"Jose, Xiaodong, the two of you join forces, I believe you will achieve good results, let's have a toast."

Mendes happily poured a glass of red wine for each of them.

Mourinho smiled and replaced the red wine in front of Gao Xiaodong with a glass of soda, and said, "Xiaodong, stop drinking, drink soda, let us have a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant cooperation."

Gao Xiaodong picked up the soda water and drank it with a smile, but he was not so happy in his heart. He didn't suffer a loss in this negotiation, but he couldn't change Mourinho's decision, all because of himself The strength is not enough. If he has the strength of Messi and Luo, I am afraid that Mourinho will not think about buying Sneijder anymore. (.)
