Midfielder

Chelsea is now preparing for the Champions League semi-final against Liverpool, but this time Mendes has no time to watch the game on site. Compared with watching a fierce game, he has more troublesome things to deal with.

Now the overwhelming advertising contracts have made Mendes almost suffocate. He really doesn't know if this kind of commercial contract will double immediately if that kid really wins three consecutive championships in Chelsea.

This is all uncertain. Who dared to pat his chest and bet with others when Lin Yi just transferred to the Premier League that the kid would definitely succeed here? I don't know how many people doubted his choice at the beginning.

Even at the beginning of the league, this kind of suspicious eyes has never decreased, but the kid just wiped out all the criticism with his tough performance. How many people will continue to treat him with a rebuttal tone now?

It is estimated that only such stupid media reporters who want to attract attention will talk about Lin Yi's ability. Don't forget that just a few days ago, I don't know how many people were questioning the best rookie of the Premier League this season.

Even The Sun, which had conflicts with Lin Yi, openly criticized the fairness of this election. At least in the eyes of these people, Lin Yi's failure to be elected was a shame of a backroom operation.

At least those judges have a tendency to be xenophobic, otherwise you can't explain why a player who can contribute more than 20 assists in a season can miss the award of the best rookie, although the kid himself doesn't care at all.

From this, we can see how strong the kid's appeal is in England now. Although there are many people who look down on him, most of them are die-hard fans of those competitors. It's not that those people don't appreciate Lin Yi's crazy performance on the court, but they are really fed up with Lin Yi's destruction of them.

Otherwise, you really have no way to explain why there is a special fan club for Lin Yi in Manchester.

Lin Yi is a hot commodity now. Mendes doesn't need to say anything more. As long as the kid nods and says he wants to transfer, it is estimated that a lot of clubs will immediately rush over from all directions waving checks.

Not only did Florentino say that he would go bankrupt to buy his ownership, but even old man Ferguson has never given up. He has also been talking to Mendes from time to time, and it is impossible to make Lin Yi change jobs.

However, judging from the kid's loyalty to Mourinho, this possibility can basically be drowned, but such a move also makes more people covet him, and even Florentino proposed to pack up the master and apprentice.

But according to the temper and character of the two guys, Mendes knows that this possibility is a little bit slim. Mourinho seems to be more accustomed to plundering all the championships in one place before he will stop. He will definitely not leave Chelsea in the short term. Moreover, Chelsea's personnel are almost all in his hands now. He has no reason to change clubs. If he changes to another place, it is not known whether there will be a boss more generous than Abramovich.

Now Mendes is not worried that Lin Yi has no appeal, but that the kid's appeal is too strong. Because of this, a very serious problem has been put on the table, and this problem is a bit imminent.

It is such a kid who won the treble last season and now the Premier League double, but has not joined any national team. This is probably quite a strange thing. This makes Lin Yi undoubtedly a super feast that all national teams are interested in competing for. After all, everyone can see the strength of this kid.

Whoever can win this kid who is not yet 18 years old will simply add a weight to his team to win good results. Including those traditional strong teams, they are also tentatively looking forward to Mendes's words.

Not only did someone in England propose to let this kid join the England team, but many EU countries were also eyeing Lin Yi, but Lin Yi himself didn't seem to care about this very important thing at all.

Even when Mendes mentioned it to him, the kid didn't say anything, as if there was no such thing.

This really made Mendes a little melancholy. He didn't know what Lin Yi was thinking. Anyway, he was a little angry now.

The 2006 World Cup is not far away. National teams in Europe are rushing to grab points in the group stage and strive to get a ticket to the World Cup in advance.

Mendes knows what kind of game can enhance the value of a player. The Champions League is a very good platform, but the European Cup and the World Cup are also the best places for his value to soar again.

Why are Ronaldo and Zidane worth so much money? Just like Ronaldo's early career, he has never won the league championship. From Barcelona to Inter Milan, this guy has never won the championship.

Even if he can dribble from the midfield to pass the opponent's four or five defensive players, he has never been able to bring the team a league championship trophy. It was not until he joined Real Madrid that this nightmare was awakened.

Although Ronaldo has won few championships, it does not prevent him from becoming a world superstar. Why? It's simple, because this guy is the winner of the World Cup and he dominates the stage that everyone is watching.

After Ronaldo's triumphant return to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, no one can forget Ronaldo's funny hairdo.

Similarly, no one can forget the 8 goals scored by the No. 9 center forward of the Brazilian team in the World Cup.

What if there are no league championship titles? Will it affect Ronaldo's status in the history of world football? No, because this guy used his feet to tell the earthlings what the alien counterattack is.

Does anyone dare to say that Ronaldo is not a superstar? I guess not, because this guy has made countless people obsessed with him. Even if he has not won many league championships or the European Champions Cup trophy, what can it matter?

Having the World Cup trophy is enough, isn't it? For Ronaldo, he has already won the highest honor that many players can't touch in their lives. The World Cup has such an unforgettable magic.

Only if you win the World Cup can you be regarded as a superstar of a generation, otherwise, you can only be regarded as a local lord at most.

Mendes knows too well the role of this kind of world competition in enhancing the value of a player, so he has been considering which national team Lin Yi should join. In fact, this should not be a problem that bothers him.

Lin Yi was originally a player from a small town in Portugal. Although he was a mixed-race kid, he was born in Portugal, so it was natural for him to join the Portuguese national team.

But such a natural thing was shelved because of the personality differences between Lin Yi and Scolari.

When Lin Yi played for Porto in Portugal, Scolari had planned to recruit him to the team before the start of the 2004 European Cup. Although it was just two insignificant warm-up matches, it was also a team entry procedure.

But Mourinho directly cut it off for such a simple matter. At that time, Porto was fighting on both the league and the Champions League. He would not let Lin Yi travel long distances for that boring friendly match.

For this matter, Mourinho and Scolari almost had a public falling out. However, the honor of winning the Champions League trophy for Porto made many Portuguese people forget that Lin Yi was not selected for the national team, and Scolari also led the Portuguese team into the final of the European Cup, although they still lost in the end.

In fact, after Portugal lost to Greece, many people said that if Lin Yi was in the team at that time, maybe they could win the championship in their home country, instead of watching the Greek team celebrate the victory at their doorstep, but such remarks were suppressed by Scolari, who wanted to maintain his prestige in the team.

This old Brazilian man has always been such a stubborn hardliner. He was able to lead the Brazilian team to the top of the world by relying on this kind of toughness, so he absolutely did not want to make concessions on the issue of how to use Lin Yi.

"Now these players in the team have been running together for nearly two years, and the tacit understanding between them is enough. I will not rashly adjust the team structure and tactical arrangements." This was Scolari's answer to reporters' questions two days ago. It can be seen that this guy is not going to give up on the issue of Lin Yi immediately.

Although many people in Portugal now advocate the recruitment of Lin Yi, no one can speak up about how to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides. Scolari's temper is needless to say, and Mourinho is also not easy to mess with.

And the most important thing is Lin Yi's attitude. This kid doesn't seem to care about Scolari at all.

It can be seen that this kid is definitely in the same boat with Mourinho on some issues. He doesn't have a good impression of a stubborn old man who publicly claims that he can achieve good results in the European Cup without him.

It can't be said that the kid holds a grudge, but it is definitely a dream to want Lin Yi to take the initiative to make peace with Scolari. Mendes knows this very well, so he has such a headache. The national team has become his most helpless thing now. The two parties are so deadlocked, and there is no possibility of any easing until now.

"How could these three stubborn guys meet together so coincidentally!" Mendes lamented that he met these three weird guys while rejecting those testers.

The national team is really a headache, but the protagonist doesn't seem to care how annoying this matter is. Anyway, in Lin Yi's opinion, why bother about so many future things.

What he needs to deal with now is the Champions League semi-finals, not the national team that has not yet been determined. As for how long the old man Scolari is going to fight with him, that is not something he can decide.

Anyway, if you want me to give in, sorry, no way, to a guy I have never met, Lin Yi thinks that there is no need to bow his head first. Anyway, he has not done anything wrong, let him do whatever he wants.

While Mendes was scratching his head, Lin Yi stretched his body in the sun at the Stamford Bridge training ground, "Liverpool, wait, the Champions League semi-finals will definitely become your nightmare."

I don't know if Benitez felt a cold wind on his back at this moment. . .

(The Celtics are mighty, there is nothing much to say. The Heat played very hard today, but the Green Army performed more powerfully today. Rondo can lay up with one hand. There is no reason not to win.)
