"Gao Xiaodong destroyed Team Universe with two passes and two shots!"

"Mourinho beat Guardiola!"

"Gao Xiaodong shattered Barcelona's dream of winning the Bernabeu!"

…

There are voices praising Inter Milan all over the world, calling them the strongest Inter Milan team in the past 40 years. However, Inter Milan players are still very calm. Except for the day after the game, many players said some excessive words. , everyone should train and rest the next day. No one talked about the past games, and no one talked about Barcelona. Everyone calmly waited for the second round of the game a week later.

Calmness is only for the players of Inter Milan. For Mourinho, the day after the game was the most unstable day in his coaching career.

On the afternoon of the second day after the game, after Mourinho took the players to resume training, Mendes had just returned home when Mendes came and brought him an explosive news. Real Madrid officially contacted Moratti and decided to After the game, he was asked to take charge of the Bernabeu.

"You played so well in this game. President Florentino can't wait. He officially made me an offer yesterday and extended an invitation to you."

Mendes had a smile on his face. Yesterday's game meant as much to him as Mourinho and Gao Xiaodong. The 4:0 score almost ensured that Inter Milan would reach the final again after 45 years, even if they couldn't win it. Champions, Mourinho and Gao Xiaodong are also very successful at Inter Milan. Mourinho's reputation can surpass Guardiola and even rival Ferguson. Gao Xiaodong has a good chance of entering the top five of the Ballon d'Or. He holds Ronaldo, Gao Xiaodong, Mourinho and Mendes can almost sit and collect money.

"Chairman Florentino's offer? How much?" Mourinho's eyes lit up.

"The annual salary of 10 million euros is not as high as what Inter Milan gives, but the bonus is very high, up to 15 million. In addition, you also have 75% of the image rights. With Real Madrid's ability, this is also a A huge amount of money," Mendes said.

"This annual salary is okay, but I still have a two-year contract with Inter Milan." Mourinho's words have exposed his true inner thoughts.

Although Real Madrid has not performed well in recent years, Real Madrid is still the world's largest club. For all coaches, coaching Real Madrid is an irresistible temptation. If you want to become the best coach in the world, you must take the road to coach the best team. , although Inter Milan is also considered a wealthy club, its reputation, status and strength are not at the same level as Real Madrid.

Mendes said: "You don't have to worry about the contract. Chairman Florentino has said that he will pay Inter Milan liquidated damages. Of course, Florentino does not want the two clubs to have conflicts. If you agree, he will Talk to Chairman Moratti personally."

"Why can't we wait until the end of the season? It's less than a month before the end of the season." Mourinho frowned. After defeating Barcelona, ​​his reputation became more and more popular. Now he hopes to consider going to Real Madrid after the season is over. .

Mendes smiled and said: "Jose, is there any difference between deciding now or after the end of the season? They are both breach of contract. Although Florentino admires you very much and regards you as the first choice, he did not regard you as the first choice. The bets are all on you. As far as I know, Benitez, Wenger and Ancelotti are also under investigation by Real Madrid. I still hope you make a decision early and don't let anyone take advantage of you."

Mourinho frowned and walked back and forth in the living room. After almost a minute, Mourinho stopped and said: "Jorge, I won't hide my thoughts. I want to go to Real Madrid, but now three The championship has not yet been decided, and I am worried that my decision will affect the morale and morale of the army. I hope that I can win an unprecedented treble for Inter Milan and then retreat bravely, instead of leaving in despair."

Mendes smiled and said: "Jose, you are worrying too much. There are still four rounds of the league. You are 7 points ahead. You have not lost a game yet. Are you going to lose three games in the end? I am in the Italian Cup with Roma. I won’t say it anymore, it’s not important. In the Champions League final, whether against Lyon or Manchester United, Inter Milan’s players have to work hard. They haven’t won the Champions League in 45 years. It doesn’t matter whether you leave or not, so your decision now affects everything. No, and I won’t let Real Madrid publicize this matter. President Florentino is not stupid, will he publicize this matter?”

Of course Mourinho is also very aware of these situations. In fact, he just hopes that Mendes can push back the matter of coaching Real Madrid, "Jorge, can't you push back another month? At that time, it will be The overall situation has been decided.”

Mendes said sternly: "One month? Jose, Manchester United will definitely advance to the Champions League final. Are you sure you can defeat Ferguson and win the Champions League? If you cannot win the Champions League, your current reputation will only be weakened. If When Ancelotti wins the Premier League title, his competitiveness will further increase. Jose, coaching Inter Milan and Chelsea can only make you one of the best coaches in the world. Only coaching teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Manchester United can you Become the best coach in the world. If you want to be on top of the world, you must be one step ahead. Benitez and Ancelotti are no worse than you. If they take the position of Real Madrid, maybe they will create another Real Madrid dynasty.”

Mendes's words moved Mourinho. He clenched his fist, slammed it on the back of the sofa, and said: "Okay, I have decided to accept Real Madrid's offer."

Mendes laughed, poured a glass of red wine for Mourinho and himself, raised it and said: "This is the right decision. Real Madrid is your stage."

After Mourinho had a drink with Mendes, he suddenly thought of Gao Xiaodong and said: "By the way, Jorge, I have to take Xiaodong to Real Madrid. You have to make this clear to President Florentino."

This time it was Mendes' turn to frown, "Xiaodong's problem is difficult to deal with. Yesterday Barcelona Chairman Laporta called me and said that Barcelona wanted Xiaodong, but Chairman Moratti did not want to sell him."

Mourinho was shocked and said with emotion: "Jorge, even if Xiaodong doesn't go to Real Madrid, he can never go to Barcelona. With Messi and Xiaodong in Barcelona, ​​how can you ask me to coach Real Madrid?"

Mendes said: "So the problem is here. Real Madrid poached you. Moratti will definitely be unhappy. How could he sell Xiaodong to Real Madrid again? If Real Madrid pays 100 million in liquidated damages, I guess Florentine No, I may not do it."

When Mourinho heard this, he was scratching his head. He wanted to recruit the coach and the top players in the team. I am afraid he would not want to replace anyone. He thought for a moment and solemnly said: "It is best to let Xiaodong go to Real Madrid. With Xiaodong assisting C Luo, I am absolutely sure to defeat Barcelona; if Xiaodong cannot go to Real Madrid, I will never let him go to Barcelona."

Mendes smiled faintly and said: "Okay, I will initial an agreement with Real Madrid first, and then I will work hard on Gao Xiaodong's affairs. You can play the game with peace of mind, strive to win the Triple Crown, and leave in glory."

Mourinho said: "Okay, it must be kept secret."

Mendes said: "Don't worry, this matter won't be exposed until the Champions League final is over. I'll go see Xiaodong."

Mourinho said: "Okay. Let's have a meal together tonight."

"Okay, I'll arrange this." Mendes said goodbye to Mourinho and drove to Gao Xiaodong's house.
