Chapter 694: Breakup

When Mourinho spoke, the Inter Milan players were still celebrating wildly in the locker room. No one paid attention to the press conference on live TV, so no one saw Mourinho's farewell declaration.

Moratti and the players, who were all wet with champagne and beer, waited for a long time. They saw that the press conference was over on live TV, but Mourinho still didn't come back. Moratti dialed Mourinho's mobile phone. , the phone is on a call.

After a while, Mourinho's phone finally came through. Moratti said: "Jose, where are you? We want to go out to eat and then go back to Milan."

Mourinho said: "President, I can't go there. Mr. Mendes is here and wants to have a drink with me. You go and eat first."

"Okay, we'll contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, the joy on Moratti's face slowly disappeared. He had a bad premonition, but now was the time for great joy. Moratti didn't want the players to have other ideas, so he said: " Let’s go, we don’t have to wait for Mourinho, Mr. Mendes invites him to have dinner with us, and he will return to Milan with us after dinner.”

Although it is not common for coaches not to drink celebratory drinks with the players, there are also coaches who are afraid that the players will not let go, and there are also coaches who do not attend the players' gatherings. Not to mention the invitation of Mourinho's Mendes, everyone did not think much and packed up their clothes to protect themselves. Ji left the locker room and headed to the parking lot.

But Gao Xiaodong felt doubtful. If Mendes invited Mourinho for a drink, why didn't he invite him? Quaresma was just a fringe player. It was normal for Mendes to ignore him. Gao Xiaodong was in the prime of his career. It cannot be ignored casually. If what Moratti said is true, then either Mourinho is lying, or Mendes and Mourinho cannot let Gao Xiaodong know what they want to say.

Inter Milan's bus was already waiting in the parking lot. There was an Audi R8 parked not far from the bus. When Moratti and the Inter Milan players came over, they found Mourinho coming down from the studio building. Audi car.

Mourinho didn't expect to bump into the players and Moratti. He hesitated, waved to Moratti and his players, and quickly got into the Audi car. Then the Audi car started, and quickly Leave the parking lot and disappear into the vast night of Madrid.

Moratti watched Audi leave without paying much attention, but club manager Blanca quietly called him aside and whispered: "President, this is Florentino's car."

"What? Are you sure?" Moratti frowned. If Mourinho went to dinner with Mendes, he wouldn't care, but if Mourinho doesn't celebrate with the team after winning the championship, Instead, he had dinner with the chairman of another club. This was a bit too rude, and he even didn't take Moratti seriously as the chairman.

Blanca said with a look of displeasure: "I'm sure, because I have dealt with Florentino several times, and I remember this car and the license plate number very clearly. Mourinho is so unauthentic."

Moratti's face was as dark as water, and his facial muscles could not help shaking, but he still managed to control his emotions, and said to Blanca in a low voice: "Ignore him, let's go." After that, Moratti strode towards the bus.

Blanca looked back in the direction where the Audi car left, spat, with a relieved expression on her face, and followed Moratti onto the bus.

At the celebration banquet in the hotel, Moratti and everyone at Inter Milan learned about Mourinho's farewell declaration at the press conference, which surprised the players and club executives.

In fact, since March, news that Mourinho will coach Real Madrid next season has appeared in the newspapers from time to time. Moratti also knew through different channels that Real Madrid had contacted Mendes and Mourinho, but for the sake of the team Moratti even pretended not to know about the great success of winning the championship.

Even this time Mourinho did not attend the celebration banquet and left with Florentino's car. Moratti also wanted to pretend not to know, fool him, and wait until the celebration was over to talk clearly to Mourinho.

But Moratti had no idea that Mourinho would publicly declare at a press conference that he would leave Inter Milan and coach Real Madrid next season.

On this happy day, the head coach of the Triple Crown publicly said that he wanted to leave. This is simply disrespectful to Inter Milan and disrespectful of the chairman Moratti.

After watching the video of the press conference, Moratti was so angry that he was shaking all over. He didn't even finish his meal, so he went directly outside the room to call Mourinho.

"Jose, why did you say that at the press conference? I need your explanation." After all, Mourinho is a great contributor to Inter Milan. Moratti tried to make his tone gentler, but he was uncontrollable. The muscles made his words seem a bit stiff.

Mourinho was having dinner with Mendes and Florentino. He received a call from Moratti and already knew what Moratti was going to say to him. Since he said goodbye publicly at the press conference, he also Not wanting to hide any more, he said frankly: "Massimo, I will not coach Inter Milan again next season. I like Inter Milan very much, but I have no higher pursuits in Inter Milan. I need to find a new one." Target."

Moratti said displeased: "Jose, I know you want to leave, but why can't you wait a few days before announcing it, just this day? Don't you want to celebrate this great victory with the fans and players who love and admire you?" Victory?"

Mourinho smiled slightly and said: "Chairman, is there any difference one day earlier or one day later? I have already celebrated, and it will be the same if I celebrate for three more days. For me, the moment the game ends, the happiness ends. Need to find new happiness, like when I won my second league title in the Premier League, I threw the medal to the Chelsea fans because I already had one and I needed new titles."

"..." Moratti was speechless, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Jose, you can leave, but Gao Xiaodong can't go with you." "Jose, when will you come over? Everyone is still waiting for you to go back to Milan?"

Mourinho said: "President, there is no need to wait for me. I have something to do in Madrid. You can go back first."

"What? You're not going back?" Moratti said in surprise: "Jose, there are 100,000 fans in Milan waiting for you and the players to return. How can you not go back?"

Mourinho said calmly: "I'm sorry, Chairman, I can't get away. Let's go back in a few days. I will go back to discuss the contract and liquidated damages with you in a few days."

"Jose, I hope you can go back." Moratti repeated again.

"I'm sorry." Mourinho said firmly.

Moratti did not expect Mourinho to be so determined. He took a deep breath and said: "Okay, Mourinho, you can leave, but please don't take Gao Xiaodong away."

Mourinho did not expect that Moratti would mention Gao Xiaodong at this time. He thought about it and felt that there would be a showdown sooner or later anyway, so he simply confessed, "Chairman, I definitely hope that Xiaodong will come with me, but Xiaodong is willing It is his freedom not to want to stay at Inter Milan, and no one can force him."

"No, Xiaodong still has two years of contract with Inter Milan. He is from Inter Milan. I will never let him leave."

For Moratti, Gao Xiaodong is equally important as Mourinho. With Gao Xiaodong as the core and the original team, even if he changes coaches, he can still continue the glory of the International. Since Mourinho can't keep him , Moratti never wants to let Gao Xiaodong go.

Mourinho said confidently: "Chairman, Xiaodong's liquidated damages are 80 million euros. Do you think he is not worth 80 million euros now? Therefore, he can make the decision whether Xiaodong wants to stay or leave."

Only then did Moratti remember that Gao Xiaodong's contract included liquidated damages. When he signed the liquidated damages, he did not consider that Gao Xiaodong would be worth 80 million a year later, so he set such a low liquidated damages. After the winter break, , Gao Xiaodong got better and better as he played, showing extremely high potential and immediate combat effectiveness. Inter Milan wanted to renew Gao Xiaodong's contract, but Mendes delayed it for various reasons.

Now that I think about it, the rumors of Mourinho going to Real Madrid started at that time. Mendes should have planned to let Gao Xiaodong leave Inter Milan and go to Real Madrid at that time.

His heart is so cruel! Only then did Moratti feel that he had been deceived. He was so angry that he wanted to call Mendes over and curse him. But now the initiative is indeed no longer in the hands of Inter Milan. As long as Gao Xiaodong agrees, as long as other teams If Gao Xiaodong is willing to pay liquidated damages, he can leave Inter Milan at any time.

Moratti breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mourinho: "Mourinho, I will treat you well. You have also worked hard at Inter Milan. The results of the Triple Crown are enough to make you famous in the history of Inter Milan and Serie A." Do you have the heart to let Inter Milan decline after leaving a heavy mark on you? This is also your hard work. I ask you to keep Gao Xiaodong for Inter Milan."

What Moratti said was true at all. Mourinho was also a little emotional and moved. However, thinking that Real Madrid's opponent was the terrifying Cosmos team Barcelona, ​​Mourinho's heart immediately hardened and he said lightly: "Chairman, I have already said that neither you nor I can decide Xiaodong's whereabouts. Only he can decide. If you want to work, you should do Xiaodong's job."

Moratti said angrily: "Xiaodong was brought here by you and grew up under you. He is still the same agent as you. If you want to poach him, how can I do his job?"

Mourinho sighed and said: "Chairman, doesn't Inter Milan have a substitute for Xiaodong?"

Moratti said: "Who? You mean Sneijder? Sneijder is good, but he can have Xiaodong's scoring ability and Xiaodong's defensive ability."

Mourinho spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is only one Xiaodong, let's let him make his own decision. Goodbye."

"I won't let Xiaodong go to Real Madrid." Moratti said angrily.

"That's up to you. Goodbye, Chairman." After Mourinho finished speaking, he ended the call decisively.
