Chapter 711 This Is Not About Money

When Mendes invited Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong had already arrived in South Africa.

Gao Xiaodong is a fan of the Italian team. He knew that Italy was slow to gain popularity and planned to watch Italy's games after the group stage. He did not expect that Italy would be eliminated in the group stage. This made him adjust his time to watch the World Cup until I came to South Africa just before the finals.

Regarding Mourinho's invitation, Gao Xiaodong knew very well that after the World Cup finals, major teams began training. For a player like him who is an absolute main force, the sooner he buys the better, but Gao Xiaodong has made up his mind. , and also hope to have an early showdown with Mourinho, so as not to delay Real Madrid's signings.

To be fair, Gao Xiaodong respects Mourinho very much. The reason why he doesn't go to Real Madrid is not Mourinho, but that Real Madrid cannot meet his core requirements.

A year ago, Gao Xiaodong would have been willing to go to Real Madrid. Although he was the core of Porto, top clubs like Porto and Real Madrid were incomparable. Gao Xiaodong was also incomparable to Mr. Ronaldo and Kaká. A deputy is nothing.

But now Gao Xiaodong is the core of Inter Milan, and has also won the first treble of Serie A. If it were not for the World Cup year, the Ballon d’Or would be almost guaranteed. Even now, he would almost be in the top three. How could he Then go to Real Madrid and be the third child.

If he moves to Real Madrid, even if he wins the Champions League, Gao Xiaodong believes that he will not be able to win the Ballon d'Or. The Ballon d'Or will definitely go to Cristiano Ronaldo or Kaká. He can only be a top wingman, and at most he will be among the top three in the Ballon d'Or. Just like Eto'o assisted Messi in Barcelona.

The final has not yet started, and the Football City Stadium, the largest stadium on the African continent, is already full. From time to time, roars, curses and cheers erupt from the sky above the stadium like thunderbolts from the clear sky. But the most annoying thing is the sound of Vavazula’s trumpet, which is like a thunderbolt. Billions of flies are flying in the sky.

Gao Xiaodong quietly walked into the stadium wearing sunglasses, leaving Xiao Le and the two bodyguards outside. Gao Xiaodong himself walked into the box of Mourinho and Mendes.

Mendes was talking to Mourinho. When he saw Gao Xiaodong come in, he stood up, gave Gao Xiaodong a hug, and said with a smile: "You and Jose have a good chat, I'll go out to watch the game."

Mendes went out very smartly. Gao Xiaodong said hello to Mourinho and sat down opposite him.

Mourinho asked Gao Xiaodong: "Xiaodong, did you ever think that Spain and the Netherlands would enter the final?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "I didn't expect it. I originally thought it would be Germany and Argentina."

Mourinho smiled and said: "This is football. Sneijder performed well. Do you feel any pressure?"

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "It should be Benitez and Chairman Moratti who are under pressure."

Mourinho said seriously: "If the Netherlands wins and Sneijder wins the Ballon d'Or, I'm afraid he won't be inferior to you in the new season. One of you two will definitely leave."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Then it may not be me who leaves."

Mourinho said coldly: "No, after winning the Triple Crown, Chairman Moratti has no desire anymore. If he wants to sell people, he must sell them to someone with a high price and high salary. Benitez is ambitious." You are proud and have always been dissatisfied with me. Sneijder has shown such a strong ability. In order to show that he does not rely on the team I left to win, he will probably sell you and establish Sneijder as the new core."

Gao Xiaodong stopped laughing, shrugged and said, "Then I'll leave. If you don't want me to stay here, I will have my own place to stay."

Mourinho said: "Xiaodong, it's really time for you to leave. You are a smart man. Can't you guess why I am leaving?"

Gao Xiaodong said honestly: "Understand."

Mourinho said: "Real Madrid is a top club that has temporarily fallen to the bottom. They have strong strength, a great platform, and top-notch business operations, but they have never been able to perform and win the championship. Whoever can save Real Madrid will win." Will become the savior of Real Madrid, the best player and coach in the world. This is the best opportunity and the last chance. Xiaodong, if you miss it, you will never have it again. Come on, come to Real Madrid.

Come with me to the top of Europe and become the best in the world. "

Mourinho seemed to be moved by his passion and ideals, with a fanatical look on his face.

Gao Xiaodong shook his head and said: "Coach, you can become the best in the world in Real Madrid, but I can't."

As if a basin of cold water was poured on Mourinho's head, he stared sharply at Gao Xiaodong's face, "Xiaodong, what does this mean?"

Gao Xiaodong said calmly: "Even if Real Madrid wins the Triple Crown, the greatest honor will only be Ronaldo's, not mine."

Mourinho pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, you can't compete with Ronaldo now, but you are still young, only 20 years old. With your growth, in three years at most, you will almost have a chance to win the Ballon d'Or." ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled slightly and said: "I can't wait three years anymore. I want to win the Golden Globe Award now."

"What?"

Mourinho seemed to not know Gao Xiaodong, staring at Gao Xiaodong with piercing eyes. He did not know Gao Xiaodong's psychology, and regarded Gao Xiaodong as a 20-year-old child. He felt that he just wanted money now, at least he had to wait. It would take two or three years before he would pursue the Ballon d'Or and the position of the world's No. 1 player, so he confidently brought Gao Xiaodong to Real Madrid. He did not expect that Gao Xiaodong would now compete with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi for the Ballon d'Or. .

Wanting to be the boss without money is a bit troublesome. Mourinho frowned deeply. After thinking for a moment, Mourinho said: "Xiaodong, stay at Inter Milan, or go to Manchester City or Chelsea. Can you be the boss?" Boss, but you definitely have no chance of winning the Champions League, so you still can’t get the Ballon d’Or.”

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Coach, it's better than winning the Champions League but not being able to win the Ballon d'Or."

Mourinho understood Gao Xiaodong's intentions, but he tried to make a last-ditch effort, "Xiaodong, Real Madrid can make you more money."

Gao Xiaodong stood up and bowed to him and said: "Coach, I like money, but this is not about money. Thank you, coach, for taking care of me this year. Without you, I would not have brought me to Inter Milan." We have grown up so fast, I hope we can still be friends in the future.”

After saying that, Gao Xiaodong turned around and walked out of the box.

When Gao Xiaodong walked to the door of the box, Mourinho suddenly said: "If you don't go to Barcelona, ​​we can still be friends."

"Don't worry, coach, I won't go to Barcelona."

After speaking, Gao Xiaodong left the box without looking back.

The game had already started. Mendes, who was standing outside the box, saw Gao Xiaodong coming out and said in surprise: "Are you done talking?"

Gao Xiaodong said calmly: "We're done talking. Sorry, Mr. Mendes, I don't want to go to Real Madrid."

Mendes smiled bitterly. He had already guessed that this might be the result, but he was just an agent. Even Gao Xiaodong's parents probably couldn't change Gao Xiaodong's choice.

"Well, it's okay. It's still early in the transfer period. Think carefully about whether to leave or stay. I'll go see Jose."

"Okay, sir. I'll go back to the box and take a look." After Gao Xiaodong finished speaking, he took Xiao Le and two bodyguards to his box.

Mendes came to his box and saw Mourinho sitting there with his hand on his forehead a little lonely, and said: "Why haven't we reached an agreement?"

Mourinho sighed: "This kid's ambition has grown too fast, and he is no longer satisfied with being the second child in Real Madrid."

Mendes sighed: "I have been so successful at Inter Milan this year. I don't blame him for having this idea."

Mourinho said: "If he doesn't come, don't come, as long as he doesn't go to Barcelona."

Mendes said: "He will not go to Barcelona. Messi's position in Barcelona is stronger."

Mourinho said: "Yes, he also promised not to go to Barcelona."

Mendes said: "Then I tell Chairman Florentino not to waste time on Xiaodong."

Mourinho waved his hand and said: "Let me tell you."

After saying that, Mourinho and Mendes discussed who would replace Gao Xiaodong, and then called Florentino and told Florentino to stop negotiating with Inter Milan, change the target, and buy Di Maria and Falcao.

Florentino was surprised by Mourinho's change, but with Real Madrid having Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, the 80 million Gao Xiaodong is really not necessary, and young people like Di Maria are at most For twenty to thirty million, Florentino immediately agreed.
