Restricted Superstar

Mendes and Gao Xiaodong came to Mourinho's house after talking with Gao Xiaodong, modified Gao Xiaodong's reaction and told Mourinho.

Mourinho's reaction to Gao Xiaodong was not at all surprised. Gao Xiaodong was the one who was at a disadvantage. It would be a disadvantage for him if he didn't take advantage. It is definitely impossible for him to give up the position of the front midfielder casually.

"If Gao Xiaodong will easily give up the front midfielder position, I won't let you communicate with him first." Mourinho said lightly, "However, Inter Milan needs a Sneijder, only Gao Xiaodong, We can’t be the favourites.”

Mendes slowly said: "José, in fact, you and Barcelona were in a tie. Inter Milan beat Barcelona 20 at home and lost to Barcelona 02 away. Without Sneijder and Pandev, so did Inter Milan. The favorite to compete for the title."

Mourinho said with excitement: "Jorge, playing in the Champions League group stage until now, the situation of qualifying is very clear. In the last round, we will compete with Barcelona for the top spot in the group, but regardless of whether the group is the first or the first. Second, we are all likely to encounter giants. If we are less lucky, we may encounter giants in the eighth-finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals. There are so many fierce fights, and it’s just a Gao Xiaodong. Can it work? Can luck alone work?"

Mendes understands why Mourinho is excited. After winning the Champions League in 2004, Mourinho has never become the king of Europe. In the fierce and cruel professional football, the media and fans are the easiest. Forgotten, now the new debut Guardiola's reputation has faintly surpassed Mourinho, Mourinho must be very anxious.

Mendes smiled slightly, patted Mourinho on the shoulder and gave him a glass of red wine, saying: "I understand the importance of the Champions League to you, but you must be cautious. If Gao Xiaodong disagrees, you will bring in Snee. Germany may cause internal conflicts, so Inter Milan's combat effectiveness will not only not increase, but will decrease instead."

Mourinho stared at the coffee table and pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Maybe he will give Gao Xiaodong a little bit of benefit before he agrees to give up the position of the front midfielder. Some time ago, he wanted to be the captain. After the last round of the group stage, he might as well let him He is the deputy captain of the team."

When Mendes heard this, he laughed and said: "This kid has a lot of official addiction. He wants to be captain wherever he goes, but this advantage is probably not enough to make him give up the position of the midfielder. After all, this position often symbolizes the ball. The core of the team."

Mourinho smiled and said: "Then let him be a free man in the frontcourt, and he can hit any position in the frontcourt at will, front midfielder, forward, back midfielder, winger, whatever he wants."

Mendes' eyes lit up and said: "This is good. Give him Messi's privileges. This kid must be happy." But Mendes immediately worried again: "Will this cause a position? The overlap and chaos of formation caused dissatisfaction with teammates in the same position."

Mourinho shook his head and said: "Don't worry, of course I will give him a major position, such as a full-back, and Gao Xiaodong is very smart and will not do behaviors that affect the team's winning. The most important thing is. Yes, we need to bring in Sneijder first, and double insurance for the team’s championship."

Although Mendes felt that Mourinho's approach might not be appropriate, he could only agree to seeing Mourinho's determination to introduce Sneijder.

In the evening, Mourinho hosted Mendes and Gao Xiaodong at his home. At the beginning, everyone just talked about some interesting facts in the football and film world. Seeing that the atmosphere was more harmonious, Mourinho told Gao Xiaodong his thoughts. .

"Xiaodong, your skills are very comprehensive and you can be competent in any position. There is no need to compete with Sneijder. From the time you came to Inter Milan, I was thinking about how to play your best role. Now I think you are the most suitable. His position is a free man, playing freely in the midfield and changing positions at will."

"We are only one game away from qualifying for the group. As I said, after qualifying for the team, we will consider you as the deputy of the team. When I finish playing Kazan Rubin next week, I will announce it. However, the captain does not only mean power. Harmony and reputation also means responsibility and sacrifice. I hope you will be a role model for your teammates and not discredit the club."

Free man? vice captain?

These two blockbusters made Gao Xiaodong a little dizzy. Of course, he hopes to become the captain of a giant like Inter Milan. Similarly, as a player, no one does not want to be a free agent and plays wherever he wants.

However, Gao Xiaodong cannot believe that Mourinho, who has always been disciplined, will give him such a degree of freedom. Generally speaking, only superstars such as Messi, Luo, Kaka, and Ronaldinho have this qualification. Although he is now considered a master, his reputation and ability are not as good as those of superstars like Eto'o, Maicon, and Zanetti. Can they agree to fight free men?

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Coach, you're not kidding me, if I fight a free agent, I won't be the enemy of the whole team."

Mourinho solemnly said: "Xiaodong, are you so unconfident in yourself? As long as you can play well and help the team win, I guarantee that no one dares to have an opinion."

The domineering side of Mourinho’s "dare" in the last sentence made Gao Xiaodong speechless, but Mourinho did have the courage and confidence. At Chelsea, boss Abu bought the Golden Globe winner. Shevchenko hoped that Mourinho could reuse him, but Mourinho dared to put him on the bench at the risk of being fired. This is not something that ordinary coaches can do.

Of course, Gao Xiaodong also faintly heard the threat in Mourinho's words. If Gao Xiaodong toasts and does not eat, there will be fine wine later, Gao Xiaodong is not sure.

However, since Mourinho has made sacrifices and concessions, Gao Xiaodong can no longer insist on his own opinions. He is a smart person who knows the current affairs. He has a full range of professional football skills and awareness. It doesn't matter if he plays any position. After getting such a generous compensation, it would be boring to have a conflict with Mourinho and lose both sides. He said: "Well, since the coach trusts me so much, of course I listen to the coach's arrangements, and you know me."

After Mourinho stated these conditions, he was also very worried that Gao Xiaodong would refuse. Although he wanted Sneijder as the team's double insurance, he never wanted to be because of the conflict between Sneijder and Gao Xiaodong.

Hearing Gao Xiaodong's promise, Mourinho finally let go of his hanging heart and said with a smile: "Xiaodong, you have always been the person I trust and value the most. I believe you, you will reach a high level in any position. "

Mendes also breathed a sigh of relief and did not talk about collapse. Mourinho, Luo and Gao Xiaodong are his three most valued customers. He never wants Gao Xiaodong and Mourinho to have conflicts.

"José, Xiaodong, you two join forces. I believe you will achieve good results. Let us have a toast."

Mendes happily poured a glass of red wine for each of them.

Mourinho smiled and replaced the red wine in front of Gao Xiaodong with a glass of soda, and said: "Don't drink Xiaodong, drink soda, let us work together happily."

"Happy cooperation."

Gao Xiaodong picked up the soda and drank it with a smile, but he was not so happy in his heart. He did not suffer a loss in this negotiation, but he did not change Mourinho's decision. It was all because of himself. The strength is not enough. If he has the strength of Messi and Luo, I am afraid Mourinho will no longer think about buying Sneijder. (.)
