Midfielder
Chapter 129 How famous do you want to be?
Until Mendes left the office at Stamford Bridge, he did not give Peter Kenyon a very clear answer. He only promised to consider Chelsea's invitation with his two agents after returning to Portugal, but he did not say that he would definitely choose this place.
However, Mendes also expressed to Peter Kenyon very friendly that he hoped that this cooperation would have a smooth and pleasant process. He was very grateful for Chelsea's emphasis on Mourinho and Lin Yi, and hoped that this time there would be a good result.
Absolutely diplomatic rhetoric, Mendes' answer formed a sharp contrast with Peter Kenyon's pursuit, but Mendes was not afraid of the other party's dissatisfaction.
Mendes is a very pure businessman. He rarely even watches a complete game, but he can understand the interests in football transactions.
When the other party actively seeks to buy, he does not need to lower his profile to cater to the other party, but he will not easily block any road at the same time.
He would leave everyone a room to turn around, which was not only a respect for the other party, but also a chance for himself, especially when their conversation was about transfers. No one knew what would happen tomorrow, so Mendes always left room for maneuver.
Although Peter Kenyon failed to get the answer he wanted most from Mendes' reply, he was also very confident that the transfer conditions he offered were difficult for many people to refuse, especially those who used money offensives to hit those from small clubs, which was tried and tested.
"We can give Mourinho the freedom to choose his own players. As long as he thinks the team should add a position, he can make any request. As long as the other club agrees to let him go, Chelsea will immediately pay for him. We can provide him with enough transfer funds."
"I can guarantee that it will definitely not be less than what Ranieri got. The transfer funds this summer will only be more than this season's investment."
Mendes knew that no matter who heard this condition now, it would probably tremble in their hearts. Chelsea has already invested about 100 million this season! What does more mean? More than 100 million euros? Then this money can completely pay for the transfer fee of three Zidanes.
As long as the other club is willing to let them go, the newly appointed head coach may have the opportunity to recruit the best players on the planet.
Now Mendes has understood that this season's crazy rush for players is just the beginning of Chelsea. Maybe in the next two or three seasons, Chelsea will not stop this eye-catching acquisition, and they will only become more crazy in the transfer market.
The names of most stars in the world will be entangled with this club. Every summer, this is the focus of the entire football world.
The Russian just wants this situation to become a reality, so he doesn't care how much money he spends. He only needs eyeball effect and results now.
Perhaps no coach in this football circle will refuse such an extremely generous boss. This is completely giving them a broad platform to let them build their own empire at will. This is a completely irresistible temptation.
Mendes bet that even coaches of Ferguson and Wenger's level would be tempted when they heard such a temptation. After all, such a boss who spends money like water is rare in the football circle. A boss who allows you to spend money freely is indeed very attractive.
It is estimated that in the entire European football world, only Mr. Moratti, who is also rich in Inter Milan, has such courage. Mendes can hear from Peter Kenyende's words that Chelsea's plot is not so simple. They want to build a new giant.
The purpose of Chelsea's crazy spending is not only to conquer the Premier League championship, but also the European Champions League has become their coveted goal. As long as possible, they may reach out to any trophy. Only hungry people have desires.
After all, Chelsea has been away from the championship for too long, so now they are spending money without restraint, just to make Stamford Bridge leap to a quasi-giant position in the shortest time, and various championship trophies are the key to entering the giant.
Aren't those traditional English stars criticizing Chelsea for having no foundation in various media? OK then, Chelsea will pile up various trophies in its honor room, and then see what you can say? Can you still deny the legitimacy of the Premier League championship?
Chelsea now has to speak with results and championships, and they need someone with a strong desire for victory and challenge to lead the team.
Mourinho was not the first candidate considered by Chelsea and Abramovich. Peter Kenyon initially looked for a replacement for Ranieri, and his eyes were on world-class coaches like Capello and Lippi. In his opinion, those old guys might be ruthless enough.
But their recruitment operation encountered great trouble from the beginning. Capello's name is now very close to Real Madrid, especially when Queiroz's record is not good, Capello's next destination seems to be more likely to be Madrid.
After all, Capello was brilliant there, and everything was familiar to him, and emerging aristocrats like Chelsea could not arouse his interest.
There is no way. Tieshuai, who came from a wealthy club like AC Milan and has created an undefeated record of more than 50 games, is always more cunning than others.
For such an arrogant guy to condescend to coach a non-rich club, I'm afraid this is not a problem that Peter Kenyon can solve with money.
The "Silver Fox" Lippi is even more troublesome. This guy has completely tied his future to the Italian national team. The 2006 World Cup in Germany is the battlefield he wants most. The honor of the club has long been unable to tempt him. , so Chelsea's two goals all failed.
As for the other big-name coaches, they either had a poor record in coaching in England or they were under contract. After searching for a circle, Peter Kenyon failed to find a suitable successor. Abramovich Instead, Veach turned his attention to those young coaches.
Mourinho, Deschamps, Rijkaard, these names began to flash in Abramovich's mind. The rise of these new generation coaching backbones began to interest the Russian rich man, and the qualifications of these people And the background is no worse than those old coaches.
Deschamps and Rijkaard both started their coaching careers as former famous stars. Although their results are not outstanding yet, their respective team leadership levels have begun to show. Monaco and Barcelona are both in their respective teams. Ranked among the best in the league.
Although Mourinho does not have a brilliant player status, his UEFA Cup championship last season has made him well known throughout Europe.
Especially when the Porto team commanded by Mourinho defeated Real Madrid twice at home and away in the group stage, his passionate performance made many people fascinated by him, and when Deschamps led When Monaco won first place in the group, the Russians became even more determined in this idea.
Ranieri, a man who is accustomed to being mature and prudent, is no longer valued by Abramovich. The Russians need someone who can choose to take risks in front of him, just like what he once did. He needs someone. Brave and pointless manager.
Although Mendes didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, he could smell the sincerity of Peter Kenyon from the conditions offered by him. This invitation was definitely not a courtesy. The conditions offered by the other party The details discussed with us were very sincere.
The owner of Stamford Bridge has offered the most favorable conditions to his two agents. Even in terms of Lin Yi's personal treatment, Chelsea has promised that as long as he can successfully sign a contract during the summer transfer period, then his weekly salary will be high. Salary starts from £30,000.
Prize money, championship share, as long as it can generate profits, Chelsea will share a part of it. What they want now is this person.
Even though the personal income tax in England is very heavy now, this is still a very tempting condition. You can get a weekly salary of 30,000 yuan at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Maybe this is a treatment that guys like Ronaldo have never received, and Lin Yi , but now it is within easy reach.
Moreover, Peter Kenyon also promised that Lin Yi's personal image rights belong to him alone, and the club will never interfere. What they want is Lin Yi. Nothing else matters. Any problem that money can solve, then Here at Chelsea, it's not a problem.
When these additional conditions were revealed, Mendes even wanted to discuss the signing with the other party for a moment, but in the end reason defeated his desire, and he did not reveal it in front of Peter Kenyon. Any expression of lust for these things.
"Everything should be discussed after the season. However, I believe that Lin Yi and José will not let anyone down. Maybe after this Champions League game, everyone will be able to see clearly what they are like." How valuable it is, I firmly believe that.”
Mendes' words still aroused the interest of Peter Kenyon, and he even asked casually, "Does it not matter even if the opponent is Manchester United?"
"If those two guys knew what fear was, they wouldn't have provoked the entire Madrid in front of tens of thousands of people at the Bernabeu."
When Peter Kenyon heard Mendez's answer, a playful smile appeared on his lips, and Mendez seemed to understand the meaning.
If Mourinho can lead Porto to defeat Manchester United in the 16-to-8 game, then this scene is definitely what Chelsea wants to see the most.
This is probably what Peter Kenyon wants to see the most. After all, Old Trafford has been cursing him for several months.
In the end, Mendes declined Peter Kenyon's proposal to make a verbal contract. He didn't want to make the same mistake that José Vega made with Figo, and he also wanted to tell him this way. The other party, maybe in a few months, Lin Yi's worth will be beyond your imagination.
He believes that now that someone dares to call out Lin Yi for a transfer worth of 15 million, when this season's Champions League ends, this number may be doubled, or even more, as long as that kid can continue his current state. , then this is definitely not a dream.
Although there was nothing substantive about this meeting with Peter Kenyon, Mendes could already have a premonition of how much Lin Yi was worth.
However, he still ran into some trouble when he left. Although Mendes is not well-known in England, Peter Kenyon is different.
It is estimated that there are few reporters in the football circle who do not know this CEO who defected from Old Trafford to Chelsea. A stranger who left Stamford Bridge accompanied by Peter Kenyon will always arouse the interest of those reporters to find out.
Mendes is not an agent of any country, so it takes almost every minute to find out his identity. Before he had time to leave London, his identity as a football agent had been exposed, and the many associations caused by this became even more diverse.
The winter transfer period was about to come, and Chelsea, a big player in the transfer market, would start the engine to search for its targets everywhere.
At this time, an agent who held hopeful stars such as Lin Yi and C Ronaldo appeared on Chelsea's territory, and was accompanied by Chelsea's CEO. Even if those reporters did not want to fabricate any news, the meaning contained in it was probably self-evident.
There have been many news reports recently that have brought the black-haired boy to the public, and rumors about his transfer were once rife. Now, such a meeting in an extraordinary period has undoubtedly linked Lin Yi's name with Chelsea, the giant in the transfer market.
There were reports before that Manchester United and Arsenal were interested in signing this talented young man, and now Chelsea is involved, which is very lively.
The reporter who filmed the farewell between Mendes and Peter Kenyon began to use his imagination to weave the grievances and entanglements of the three Premier League giants.
Anyway, this is not the first time that this has happened. When Chelsea changed its owner, the intrigues between the three giants had already begun.
Even Wenger and Ferguson, two old rivals, once stood on the same level to accuse Chelsea of poaching robbery.
It seems that this time, the confrontation between the three clubs will break out again because of the future of a little guy, and the struggle will become more fierce.
This is not only a search for talent by the giants, but also a confrontation between them. If the player they like is poached by the opponent, it is probably more uncomfortable than beating them 3:0 on the field. The poaching war between these giants will never stop.
"The battle between the top three Premier League teams for a young genius", "Chelsea's love-stealing behavior once again touches the bottom line of the two Premier League giants", "Is money defeating honor, or honor bowing to reality", such news headlines can definitely stimulate the hearts of those fans.
What's more, there are those unscrupulous reporters who are willing to exaggerate and deliberately fabricate the false news that Mendes went to Chelsea to sell Ronaldo.
I'm afraid that not only the hearts of the fans will be stimulated by these news, but even Mendes will not be spared, because Ferguson called his mobile phone as soon as he got the news. The old man's questions almost knocked Mendes unconscious.
Anyway, before Ferguson hung up the phone after cursing enough, he gritted his teeth and told Mendes that he must get the transfer signing rights of Lin Yi in the summer.
Although Mendes respected the old man very much, he also muttered in his heart, "It depends on how much money Manchester United can pay!"
Mendes didn't know why this matter could be so big, but he could see that Chelsea's image as a bandit in the Premier League had been established. As long as the players were related to them, they would be linked to transfers, and then it would be a big deal.
However, when the winter transfer was about to start, such rumors about player transfers would also affect the emotions of their competitors. In any case, even if Peter Kenyon failed to successfully sign Lin Yi this time, he could create enough trouble for his opponents.
Of course, his actions undoubtedly once again put himself on the opposite side of Manchester United and other teams, but he didn't care about it.
Anyway, he has been attacked with all kinds of vicious words for most of the season, so he doesn't care if there are more such people. Too many lice don't bite, and too much debt doesn't worry. Now Peter Kenyon is holding a lot of money and prying into the corners of various wealthy families.
Although many people will stab him in the back and call him a traitor, only he knows whether it is worth it or not.
Mendes has no obligation to care about the love-hate entanglements in the Premier League. He only cares about where Lin Yi's future will be.
When the fight has not completely passed, this transfer rumor has put Lin Yi's name on the front page of many newspapers in England.
In the words of Ronaldo, "What does this kid want? Now as long as you turn on the TV, the screen is full of his name and reports about him."
Mendes probably wants this effect, but Lin Yi's incitement in the football circle really made him dizzy.
"She's so flirty at the age of 16. How can those who are already in their thirties and still not famous live?" Mendes lamented.
Perhaps Mendes still didn't fully understand the little guy. When he was still wandering in London, he actually saw the gossip about the boy!
On the entertainment page of the British Sun, there was a photo of Lin Yi holding Selena's hand at the airport and walking into the car.
"How famous do you want to be?" Mendes found that he could no longer predict how popular this boy would be.
The person involved was staring at the news on TV in amazement, wanting to cry but unable to. . .
(It is said that there will be a heavy snowstorm tomorrow... I... unfortunately have a fever, and I plan to bury my head in the snow tomorrow to cool down...)
