Chapter 89

Madrid in March is full of spring rain.

Hot and cold weather is very depressing.

In the morning, Gao Han put on his trademark black training suit and went out.

Down the stairs, walking in the wet path, the roadside Cherry Blossom do not know when to open.

But the cold did not notice, fell into the thoughts.

Last night, the team away challenge Elche, 2-1, won very difficult.

Zoran nigus, who has just recovered from injury, is in bad condition, and the injured veteran Aguilera is not playing very well, which makes the mood of the team as bad as the weather in Madrid in March.

Originally, Jiabi was the hope of high cold, but after several experiments, the effect was relatively general.

The main reason is that he is too young, only 17 years old.

Although Torres is one year younger than Gaby, his physical fitness is much better and his personal ability is stronger.

More importantly, Torres plays as a striker while Gaby is in midfield.

Gao Han has also used skill cards for Gaby several times to improve physical confrontation and defensive ability, and even bought a one star pass card specially used to improve players' passing ability.

But for the time being, it has a certain effect, but it is not satisfactory.

At least, judging from Gaby's performance, Gao can't directly promote him to the main force as he did with Xabi Alonso. After all, he has to consider his achievements.

Happily, Roberto played right back instead of right half, and he did well.

This player has good physical fitness, can live under the feet, the age is also appropriate, hard-working, very practical.

In particular, he was born on the right side of the avant-garde, with a good pass.

Gao also decided for the time being to let Roberto play right back when Aguilera is playing in midfield and injured.

Since Atletico Madrid won the double that season, the Spanish player has been wandering in the main force and substitutes in the past few seasons. Even if he dropped to West B this season, he has not improved much.

Now Gao is willing to use him. Although he plays at right back, he is also willing to use him.

Although professional players play for money, they also attach great importance to the opportunity to play.

Now Atletico Madrid's biggest problem is not in the back and front, but in the midfield.

Xabi Alonso is short of a solid bodyguard and a solid barrier in midfield!

At this moment, a middle-aged man came to the gate of mahada Enda sports city.

He wore a suit and tie, his hair was neatly combed and waxed. He laughed when he saw people and smoked as soon as he entered the door, which gave people a very smart feeling.

"Hello, can I ask you something?"

As the saying goes, cannibal mouth soft, short hands.

When the security guard takes the good cigarettes from others, he can't deal with them seriously.

"Tell me something!"

"Will Mr. Gao Han come in the morning?"

When the two security guards in the security room heard this, they looked carefully at the middle-aged man in front of him. He was about thirty years old. He was a little wary that he was not a spy sent by the enemy club, was he?

Feeling the suspicious eyes of the security guard, the middle-aged man began to smile bitterly.

Have you ever seen such a handsome spy?

"Well, I'm an agent from Portugal. Here's my card."

With that, he handed a business card, which said: the agency of gasteford, Portugal.

General manager, Jorge Mendes.

"Are you Portuguese?" The security guard looked at the card and asked.

"Yes, I'm from the same town as your technical director Paul futley."

When it comes to Paul futley, the relationship is closer.

The Portuguese is the superstar of all Atletico Madrid fans.

"I'm here today mainly because your team needs players recently

"Yes, but it's not a transfer time

The Portuguese, Jorge Mendes, nodded with a smile and said, "yes, but if it's a free agent, it's OK, as long as your club registers with the Football Association."

"Oh." The security guards know too much about these rules, but they feel as if they are very powerful.

Seeing that the security guard was convinced by himself, Jorge Mendes asked again, "don't you know Mr. Gao Han will come in the morning?"

"Yes, unless something happens, otherwise he will come every day."

"Well, he's really a conscientious head coach."

Jorge Mendes's boast made the security guards feel proud.

Who is alpine?

Young coach who led Atletico Madrid out of trouble.

After the 2-1 defeat of Elche last night, Atletico Madrid ranked two places in the table, surpassing Ebar and Levante, ranking seventh in the league.

During this period of time, the team's position in the scoreboard is just like sitting on the rocket, whizzing up. The fans are not too excited, and they praise and affirm the coaching ability of Alpine.

So, Mendes boasted about the cold, but it was the same as boasting about himself.

The Portuguese is a bit surprised. Unexpectedly, the 23-year-old coach still has this status in the eyes of the club fans. It's not easy.

…………

…………

Alpine outside the community with a casual breakfast, straight to the sports city.

"Good morning, Mr. Gao Han."

"Hello."

When passing by the door of the security room and greeting the security guard inside, Gao Han noticed that there was one more person than usual, but he didn't care, so he went directly.

But just after two steps, I heard someone shouting at me. Looking back, the man in the security room caught up with me.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gao. I've always heard that the coach of Atletico Madrid is very young, but I didn't expect that he didn't recognize him for a while."

As soon as Jorge Mendes came forward, he apologized and made a good impression.

"It doesn't matter." Alpine light smile, "you are..."

"Jorge Mendes, Portuguese agent, this is my card."

Then he handed out a business card.

"The Garth Ford agency." Cold lips move, heart meditation.

He has never heard of the name.

Portugal's biggest agent now should be FIGO's agent, Jose Vega.

As for Jorge Mendes, he has never heard of him.

But it's not worth making a fuss. In European football, there are so many people who can get to know each other?

"Hello, Mr. Mendes!" Gao Han shook hands with him politely, "excuse me, can I help you?"

Mendes immediately opened the briefcase in his hand and took out a neatly bound document from it. It seemed that it took a lot of effort and handed it to Gao Han.

"I know Atletico Madrid are short of a midfield player recently, and it has to be a free agent

"Well." Gao Han nods and does not deny it.

Paul futley did release the news, but everyone didn't expect it.

The reason is very simple. European professional football is so transparent. How can a player with real strength not get a contract?

"As for me, I have always been engaged in the player brokerage business in Portugal, but I have a lot of Brazilian friends. You should know that the football environment in Brazil is chaotic, but I know that there are several players with good strength, and they are all free agents."

The football environment in Brazil is really chaotic. Most of the time, clubs sign contracts with players once a year, some half a year, or even shorter.

Gao Han once heard such a joke when he was in Barcelona. As long as someone can afford the salary, he can attract the domestic stars he likes and help the team win the championship.

You can imagine how serious the wage arrears in Brazil are.

This has also led Brazilian players to fight their way to Europe and the rest of the world.

However, Gao is clear that this is not within his own jurisdiction.

"You should submit this information to the technical department."

Mendes nodded and said with a smile, "I've already sent it."

Obviously, he prepared two.

"I've learned about Mr. Gao's players in the second team and in the first team. I find that you like to use midfielders with good skills and passing ability, even defensive midfielders

Gao Han is amused to hear that this agent has specially studied his own preferences?

Perhaps aware of the cold doubts, Mendes explained: "I always think that agents should not only help players sign a contract and find a club, but also consider long-term development and win-win situation."

"Not bad!" Gao Han nodded.

Mendes just smile, "I introduced these players, have played in the Brazilian Serie A League, the performance is still good, just because of a variety of reasons, they did not find the right club."

"But I believe that as long as you give them the opportunity, they will bring you rich returns."

"In addition, I have a player list here, which is also sent by the technical department, but these are all under contract. I can guarantee that the strength is quite good. If you have something you like, please call me at any time."

"Also, I have partners in Brazil and Portugal. I can guarantee that any player you like can be contacted and even operated by me

It can be seen that this guy doesn't work in MLM. It's a pity!

Gao Han has reservations about this kind of rhetoric.

But it has to be said that Jorge Mendes is a good salesman.

"OK, I'll take these two documents first, look back and discuss with the technical department." It's not the first time Alpine has dealt with an agent.

He knows very well that Jorge Mendes is not well-known now. He is just spreading the net everywhere in the market and can earn a lot of money. As for whether he really has such a strong relationship in Brazil and Portugal as he said, who knows?

"By the way, do you know Deco?"

Gao can always remember the future top midfield player with a potential of 185.

"Deco?" "Of course, Anderson Deco, a 23-year-old Brazilian, plays for Porto in midfield, and has done well," Mendes said

It's a bit of an accident in the cold. This guy is really skilled in business. He even comes here with his mouth open.

"Do you think he will come to Atletico Madrid?" Gao Han asked again.

Mendes thought about it and said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Gao, I'm afraid it's only possible for Atletico Madrid to return to La Liga and gain a firm foothold."

Gao Han nodded, almost as he had judged.

"OK, then you can help me pay more attention to deco. When you are sure to dig it, you can come to me at any time."

Gao Han clapped his hands and said, "as for these two documents, I'll have a look first and call you if there are suitable ones."

"OK, I'll wait for your call."

After that, Mendes said a few more sincere thanks before leaving.
