Chapter 697: Good People Also Have Tempers

When Gao Xiaodong convened his team to discuss whether to stay or stay next season, Real Madrid manager Valdano was at Mendes' Gedfoot Agency, discussing the details of Mourinho's coaching of Real Madrid with Mendes.

Mourinho and Real Madrid have basically reached an agreement, and what is being discussed is just the details of the contract. In such a fussy occasion, Florentino and Mourinho will certainly not be present.

Valdano and Mendes mainly discussed signings and Mourinho's liquidated damages.

Mourinho hopes to take Gao Xiaodong, Maicon, Milito and Quaresma from Inter Milan, and buy Di Maria and Coentrao from Benfica, while Valdano thinks Milito is too old and Quaresma Ma's level is not worthy of Real Madrid, Di Maria is too young and the asking price is too high. I hope Mourinho will give up these three players.

In addition, Mourinho still has two years of contract with Inter Milan. If Mourinho leaves early, he will have to pay Inter Milan 16 million euros in liquidated damages, not the 9 million euros mentioned by Mendes.

Valdano believes that Mourinho has made great contributions to winning the Triple Crown for Inter Milan. He can convince Moratti to let him go for free instead of asking Real Madrid to pay the liquidated damages for Mourinho.

After listening to Valdano's eloquent words, Mendes just smiled slightly and said: "Whether he deserves to go to Real Madrid or not, I think Mourinho knows better than the two of us."

Valdano sneered: "Mr. Mendes, Quaresma can't play in a team like Inter Milan. Is Real Madrid weaker than Inter Milan?"

Mendes smiled and said, "Mourinho said that Quaresma is capable, but he is not suitable for Inter Milan and Serie A."

Valdano said: "Where are Milito and Di Maria? Milito is 31 years old. I don't think Real Madrid has the need to buy him. We are not a nursing home like Milan. Besides, Mr. Mendes, do you really think Di Maria is worth 30 million euros?"

Mendes smiled slightly, "Then do you think Gao Xiaodong last season was worth 50 million? If Xiaodong is worth, then Di Maria is worth. In addition, there is an alternative answer to Milito's question, and that is Porto's Falcao, but the price is also 30 million euros."

After Valdano heard this, he got angry and said sarcastically: "Mr. Mendes, these are all players from your company. Your black shop is really well-deserved. Players like Falcao and Di Maria cost 30 million." , why don’t you rob the bank?”

Mendes still had a calm expression and said to the point: "Manager Valdano, Milito is not from our company. You think he is old. Di Maria and Falcao think you are young. You also think that I am a self-serving person and deliberately promote the business." Are the players in my company deliberately making things difficult for you because of your conflict with Mourinho?"

Valdano sat down slowly and said: "Mendes, you misunderstood. Mourinho and I have no conflict. When we selected the coach, I was not optimistic about Mourinho at first, but after Mourinho won the Triple Crown, I think Real Madrid now needs a coach like Mourinho, and I will fully support him, but I must raise my doubts about the obviously unreasonable transfer. This is my job. As long as I am the Real Madrid manager for a day, I will These words must be spoken out, including Mourinho’s liquidated damages.”

Mendes smiled and said leisurely: "As for Mourinho's liquidated damages, we can't guarantee that we will definitely convince Chairman Moratti, because Mourinho did not go back to celebrate and was planning to poach Gao Xiaodong, which made Moratti very angry, but We will try our best to convince Chairman Moratti that if Moratti's work fails, Real Madrid will still have to pay the liquidated damages, because it is Chairman Florentino who wants Mourinho to coach Real Madrid at this time, and We are not asking to coach Real Madrid. If Mourinho is unable to sign the contract due to liquidated damages, the responsibility is not ours."

Mendez looked pleasant, but his words were full of threats.

Valdano was furious for a moment, and after a while he said: "Mr. Mendes, I hope you have a talk with Mourinho. Real Madrid is a members-only club.

He must be responsible for every penny spent by members. If he makes an obviously stupid mistake in the transfer and then pays liquidated damages for Mourinho, President Florentino will be under great pressure. "

Mendes said calmly: "Whether it is stupid or not, you will only know if you use it. I don't need to talk to Mourinho anymore. This is his request. I am just passing on a message."

Valdano softened and said: "We can discuss the transfer issue slowly, but I hope you can convince Chairman Moratti about Inter Milan's liquidated damages. This is obviously a sum of money that can be saved. Mendes Sir, if it's spent, don't you think it will put more pressure on Mourinho?"

Mendes smiled and said: "I understand, so I said, we will try our best to convince Chairman Moratti."

Valdano said: "Okay, last season's performance was very poor. President Florentino is under a lot of pressure. I hope Mr. Mendes can resolve the liquidated damages issue as soon as possible so that Real Madrid can announce Mourinho's appointment."

Mendes said: "Don't worry, Mourinho is preparing to go to Milan after my return."

Valdano said: "Okay, then I won't waste Mr. Mendez's time. Goodbye."

Valdano left Mendes' office. Mendes walked around the office a few times and called Mourinho.

…

This is already the third afternoon after the Champions League final

The small town of Bersage, north of Milan

Chairman Moratti met with his team's head coach Mourinho and the famous agent Mendes at his private residence.

Although Moratti was dissatisfied with Mourinho's disrespectful behavior in the final, Mourinho was the coach who won the Triple Crown for Inter Milan and helped him realize his dream. He still gave Mourinho a very gentlemanly Hug him and Mendes into the living room.

Moratti's wife Milly came over personally to bring tea and pastries to Mourinho and Mendes, and then took her grandson to another room.

Mendes saw the alienation between Moratti and Mourinho and was the first to speak: "Jose is a person who doesn't like liveliness. President Florentino happened to invite him that day, so he didn't have time to join the celebration. In fact, he is also very regretful."

Moratti said calmly: "Mr. Mendes, this has passed. I still want to thank Jose for helping me realize my dream. Without him, there would be no Champions League championship."

Mourinho forced a smile and said: "President, I am here to say goodbye to you today. I plan to leave Inter Milan. President Florentino invited me to coach Real Madrid."

Moratti was angry after hearing this. What did he do after the final? He thought I was a fool and told the media. Now say goodbye to me. If you hadn't helped Inter Milan win the Triple Crown, I wouldn't have seen you. you.

"You are determined to leave, and I will not hold you back. I wish you a brilliant record in Real Madrid." Moratti said lightly.

Mendes coughed and said, "Chairman, can the liquidated damages be cancelled?"

Moratti frowned and said, "Liquidated damages? I'm not sure yet. You go find Blanca and Kelfi."

This is an obvious excuse. Mourinho and Blanca have conflicts. If he really goes to Blanca, the liquidated damages will definitely have to be paid.

Mendes decided to speak directly, "Chairman, it is the 16 million euros in liquidated damages that Jose needs to pay if he terminates the contract early in last year's contract. I hope you can cancel it."

Moratti pretended to be confused and said: "Why cancel it?"

Mendes said: "Jose has devoted all his efforts to Inter Milan and made great contributions. I also hope that you can provide some help for Mourinho's future."

Moratti said calmly: "I think it's better to act in accordance with the contract."

Mourinho couldn't help but said: "President, you said that if Inter Milan can win the Champions League, you will let me go for free."

Moratti said: "Yes, I said it, but I am the chairman, but not the only shareholder. I am not the only one who has the final say in the club. The second shareholder Tronchetti and others think that you and Mr. Mendes lack the They have the most basic respect for Inter Milan, so they all think it’s better to act in accordance with the contract.”

Mendes did not expect that the very gentleman Moratti would go back on his words, and said unhappily: "Chairman, maybe you don't care about verbal promises, but don't forget that Italian law does not allow liquidated damages in contracts."

Moratti sneered and said: "Mr. Mendes, if you want to litigate with me in Italy, I will accompany you to the end."

Moratti has always been known for his gentlemanly demeanor. He is a kind-hearted good man in the eyes of fans and players. Neither Mendes nor Mourinho expected that the good old man would suddenly become tough, and they couldn't help being stunned.
