Chapter 14: Pepe joins (Second update, please vote for me!)

Niang did not know the process of the dispute between Mourinho and Florentino, and no media broke the news. ("", watch the latest update of this book) But he knows the final result.

Mourinho was defeated.

Because Real Madrid sent a fax a few days later, telling Niang that Pepe's transfer transaction continued, and Liverpool could now contact Pepe for personal contract negotiations.

Niang knew that Mourinho must have failed to win against Florentino. This arm could not twist his thigh after all...

As for whether the relationship between Mourinho and Florentino will be affected by this incident, he has no control over it. That is not something he should worry about.

He happily called Mendes, and Mendes on the other end of the phone was also very happy.

"I just said, this is a small trouble, Lu. Now we can talk about Pepe's personal contract in detail. I flew to Liverpool the day after tomorrow and we met to discuss it in detail."

Mendes was happy not only because Pepe's transfer was finalized, but also because just before Niang called him, he had just received a call from Mourinho.

Mourinho always expressed his desire to leave Real Madrid after the phone call. Although he didn't say why, Mendes knew.

If Mourinho leaves, he can take the opportunity to make a fortune. His strategy of killing two birds with one stone has paid off. How can he be unhappy?

※※※

What happened next was much smoother. Mendes has already drawn up a contract with Liverpool, and the meeting to discuss it in detail is just a pretense and a formality.

Pepe himself has no objections to joining Liverpool.

Because they played against each other last season, he knows how good Liverpool is. If he goes to Liverpool, he can still hope to win more honors. Moreover, the personal treatment given by Liverpool is no worse than that he received at Real Madrid.

He himself has no ill feelings towards Liverpool and is not unwilling to join.

Although they were opponents in the past, this is the consciousness of professional players. They cannot refuse to become teammates just because they were opponents in the past. Many professional players will not be able to transfer in their lifetime and can only play for one team until they retire.

Pepe is very open-minded about the transition from opponent to teammate.

So it went very quickly.

It only took two days for the two parties to complete the signing negotiations.

The next step is for Pepe to come to Liverpool for a medical examination.

It has to be said that both clubs have done a very good job of keeping secret. Until now, no media has revealed that Liverpool is secretly signing Pepe. ("", watch the latest update of this book)

But when Pepe appeared at Liverpool's John Lennon Airport and was recognized, the matter finally became public...

First, the local media in Liverpool reported Pepe's appearance at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, and then several English media reprinted it.

Then the news spread across the ocean to Spain.

Madrid is in shock!

※※※

Although Pepe has always been criticized by the media, he is Real Madrid's main central defender after all, and those who criticize him have to admit that a non-crazy Pepe is definitely the most terrifying defender in the world. , Messi didn’t have the confidence to win when he saw him.

Pepe's contribution to Real Madrid's defense is quite large.

Now, such a person has been poached by Liverpool? !

Everyone found it a bit incredible.

How did Liverpool do it?

You must know that Pepe is Mourinho's heartthrob and one of Mourinho's most trusted warriors. How can they bypass Mourinho when poaching people from Real Madrid?

Unlike the English media, which only reported news about the possible signing of Liverpool and Pepe, they began to dig deeper and look for answers from within the Real Madrid club.

Then more and more "inside information" was dug out.

"Pepe transfers, the relationship between Mu and Florentino has broken down!"

"Mourinho had no idea and was furious!"

"Selling Pepe was Florentino's decision alone!"

"Real Madrid may be brewing a big earthquake!"

…

All kinds of news appear in front of the public instantly, impacting their eyeballs.

Many fans are dissatisfied with Florentino's decision to sell Pepe. Although Pepe is not popular among the media, he is still quite popular among Real Madrid fans.

They showed up at the Real Madrid Sports City training base, holding banners to protest against Florentino's meddling in the team.

Not only the fans and media were shocked, but even Pepe's own teammates didn't expect it. They find it incredible. Although the criticism against Pepe has indeed become more intense some time ago, hasn't Pepe experienced this kind of thing several times before? No, it's not a big deal?

They thought that after Pepe had experienced so many similar things, he should have looked away. So no one can think from this incident that Pepe is going to transfer and leave.

They know better than the media and fans the role and significance of Pepe to Real Madrid.

Without him, Real Madrid's defensive level would drop to another level.

However, they cannot change the decision made by the club president. In Real Madrid, there is only one true king, and that is Perez Perez. Even Mourinho, who seemed to be "the only one" before, failed to successfully prevent Perez from selling Pepe. , the players should not join in the fun. In addition to expressing their helplessness during interviews, they comforted and blessed Pepe in private - they did not even dare to protest publicly to express their dissatisfaction, and could only express their helplessness.

Pepe's transfer and departure is already a certainty.

Florentino finally succeeded in cleaning up the "remnants" left by the previous club president, cleaning up the door for Real Madrid, and maintaining Real Madrid's noble and pure pedigree and image.

But I don’t know if he will regret his actions today in the future...

Pepe's move from Real Madrid to Liverpool was news that shocked the entire football world.

Professionals know very well how difficult it is to poach Pepe from Real Madrid, but Liverpool actually did it, which has to make people look at this team with admiration.

Moreover, Liverpool has hired the top central defender in today's football, which also illustrates Liverpool's ambitions - they are recruiting the best stars on the planet to play for them, and their goal is not just as simple as defending the league championship!

On July 16, Pepe flew from Madrid to Liverpool for the second time. This time, he would not go back. He came to take a physical examination and officially sign a contract. In addition, Liverpool Club also prepared a grand welcome ceremony for him.

Around 10,000 people attended the event at Anfield to witness Pepe's arrival.

It is no exaggeration to say that Pepe is the most famous central defender in football today. Liverpool's ability to recruit him makes Liverpool fans more confident in their team. They are happy to see that the team did not rest on its laurels after winning the league championship and began to dream of relying on the old lineup to win the world. Instead, it was proactive and constantly pursued those capable stars to enhance its own strength.

Therefore, rather than saying that these fans are here to welcome Pepe, it is better to say that they are here to cheer for the team's aggressive ambition.

The team's head coach Martin O'Neill and club manager Niang welcomed Pepe at the press conference.

"I hope to succeed in this great team of Liverpool." Pepe said with a smile.

Martin O'Neill said: "Of course you can succeed here, Pepe. Because here, you are not alone, you will have a group of great partners!"

Everyone knows what Martin O'Neill is talking about.

A reporter asked Martin O'Neill if he was worried that Pepe's temper would cause trouble for the team. Martin O'Neill answered decisively: "No, because he is a gentleman!"

This answer made Pepe's attitude towards Martin O'Neill very good. When he thought about his experience in Real Madrid, he felt that maybe moving to Liverpool was not a bad thing?

Finally, Pepe and Martin O'Neill raised the Liverpool jersey with his name and number on it and showed it to the reporters at the scene.

Niang applauded with the others beside him, and his heart was filled with a complete sense of accomplishment.

The reason why he was willing to agree to his classmate Chen Waking's management of this club was because he liked this feeling. Bring your favorite players to your team one by one...

That sense of accomplishment is nothing less than leading the team to victory. Because he knew that the foundation for Martin O'Neal's victory was laid by himself!

Liverpool's players also welcomed Pepe's joining.

Gerrard, as the first captain of the team, was the first to stand up and welcome Pepe: "We welcome Pepe. He is an excellent central defender. His arrival will definitely strengthen our defensive strength!"

The team's second captain Reina also said: "Pepe is an outstanding player and a gentleman. I think the accusations that he has a bad temper, impulsiveness and irritability are exaggerated. I am happy to have Pepe in front of me." A good defender, so it takes a lot of pressure off me."

After Carragher retired, Chen Yingxiong was naturally promoted to the team's third captain. He also said: "We only played against each other last season, and he was a great opponent. That mistake? He was just unlucky. Any Everybody makes mistakes, and I make mistakes too. What's the big deal? I don't quite understand what the media in Madrid are doing. They have no reason to criticize such an outstanding centre-back. But my dad is grateful for taking the wrong medicine. Thank you to them, because it was they who forced such a great defender to our side, and I thank them, they are truly our best undercover agents!"

This is Chen Yingxiong's consistent style. Even if he praises others, he never forgets to criticize a group of people. He always can't control his mouth and wants to complain.

Within the team, when Chen Yingxiong saw Pepe, the two of them had no hatred at all as they were rivals and fought to the death.

Although Peipei was a little worried, Chen Yingxiong gave him reassurance.

He patted Pepe on the shoulder and said to him: "It won't be long before the media in Madrid start to miss you, Pepe. But we will not let you go back!"
