Coaching career started as a college team coach

///I'm so great, this book has 800,000 words! ///

Ruben Dias sat at the table with a glass of mango juice in front of him. And next to him, the agent who was in direct contact with him had a glass of clear champagne on his desk.

The agent was talking to Ruben Dias with great interest, but Ruben Dias didn't listen at all, just nodded occasionally. But his agent didn't seem to be able to read his expression at all, didn't pay attention at all, or didn't care whether Ruben Dias was interested or not.

He talked about luxury cars and beauties, Manchester's weather, and local customs.

He thought that any player would be interested in these contents.

But Ruben Dias always showed little interest.

"It's almost time, you're not far from making a lot of money." The agent laughed, "You should be happier, why are you so silent?"

Among his players, he had to admit that Ruben Dias was the strangest one. Sometimes he can burst out with superhuman passion, and sometimes he is as quiet as a quail.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to sleep last night when they heard that they were going to meet a big shot like Mendes.

The agent has admired his boss for a long time, and he always expects to become an agent of the same size as his boss. Being able to participate in sending Ruben Dias to a wealthy club will also be beneficial to his career.

Thinking of this, the agent no longer wanted to stick to the cold butt, and simply ignored Ruben Dias, but began to plan himself, what good words should he say when he meets Mendes later, so that Mendes can be praised more happily.

Ruben Dias looked down at his watch, then said calmly, "He's late."

The agent quickly explained with a smile, "It may be that the train is late, or there is a traffic jam, or there are other reasons. Don't worry, he will definitely come, he will come."

But Ruben Dias didn't say anything else, and there was no obvious emotion on his angular face, which made his agent a little confused.

But fortunately, he felt that the protagonist today would only be his boss Mendes, so he just thought that Ruben Dias was throwing a tantrum, and he didn't think there was any need to say anything more.

The agent is experienced and has seen many such players. They usually play well and think they are really a dish, but in the eyes of a big man like Mendes, he is nothing!

When Mendes came, which of these guys didn't have golden eyes? The little tempers were gone in an instant.

After all, who would have trouble with money?

When Mendes stepped into the door of the restaurant, he saw the two people waiting for him at a glance. When he met Ruben Dias' eyes, Mendes was immediately startled.

This state is not right.

At first glance, Ruben Dias did not avoid Mendes' eyes at all, and from Ruben Dias' eyes, Mendes could not see any admiration or excitement, but only calmness, and a little... disappointment?

Mendes walked over and greeted him with a smile.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen. I'm late because of the traffic jam. Did you miss anything?"

"No, sir, of course not." His subordinate took over the conversation the second Mendes finished speaking, "Please sit down, sir. We are all looking forward to your arrival. Do you want anything to eat? I took the initiative to order you the American coffee you said you liked last time. I hope you won't blame me..."

Mendes smiled and waited for the agent to finish speaking, but did not respond. Instead, he stretched out his hand to Ruben Dias, "Ruben, nice to meet you!"

Ruben Dias put on a polite smile and shook hands with him, "Hello, Mr. Mendes."

Mendes felt only a little regretful.

He was late for a while, partly because of objective reasons, and partly because he thought that as the most important person at the banquet, he should be the main star.

Mendes regretted being late. Although it was only a few minutes, he had expressed his attitude in front of Ruben Dias, and this attitude had already made Ruben Dias feel a little disappointed with him.

Ruben Dias did not show his dissatisfaction at all, and readily accepted Mendes's individual kindness to him, as if the disappointment and dissatisfaction in his eyes were just Mendes' illusion.

But Mendes has seen countless players, he will not be wrong.

Although he came to England this time to attach importance to Ruben Dias' transfer, he actually did not know Ruben Dias very well.The lack of understanding here does not refer to his technical characteristics and performance as a player, but to the lack of understanding of Ruben Dias's personality characteristics and his views on things.

Before this, most of his understanding of Ruben Dias came from the reports of his subordinates, the agents who directly handled Ruben Dias's economic issues.

However, the report given to him by the agent only mentioned the cooperation of Ruben Dias.

If it was just a young player who was at a loss, all this would be easy to handle.

However, from Ruben Dias's eyes and performance, it can be seen that Ruben Dias is probably not what Mendes thought, let alone what his subordinates reported to him.

At this time, Mendes did not pay attention to Ruben Dias and regarded him as those simple-minded and strong-limbed characters, which was of course inappropriate.

I am afraid that Ruben Dias is a very emotionally intelligent player. He is very sober, and negotiations with him will not be simple.

At the same time, his eyes towards his agent were not very friendly. It was his intelligence that directly led to Mendes's wrong impression of Ruben Dias. If Mendes' misjudgment of Ruben Dias led to the failure of anything, his agent would be responsible.

The dishes came one by one, but the three of them didn't move much.

After the greetings, the topic got to the point.

"Manchester City contacted your agent some time ago, and your agent has also told you about this." Mendes said, and Ruben Dias nodded to show that he knew about it.

"Our idea is that after discussion, we all think that transferring to Manchester City is the most beneficial choice for your career."

"And before everything is implemented, I think it is necessary to reach a consensus with you on this matter, which is why I came here-I value you very much and hope that you can succeed."

Ruben Dias took a deep breath and finally got to the point.
