"Jose, you are so happy."

Mendes and Mourinho have known each other for so many years, but this is the first time to see Mourinho, a personality coach, so excited.Even if he won the heavyweight championship before, he has never seen him so excited.

Many people say that Mourinho is a passionate coach, look at how he looks in the game.There are also provoking those head coaches, constantly denouncing the referees and so on.Many people think Mourinho is crazy.But Mendes, as Mourinho's agent for many years, knows Mourinho very well.Mourinho is not the kind of person who looks happy, and most of what he usually shows is intentional.Mourinho himself is usually very calm.

Don't look at his hot temper outside, he is actually a very calm person.Whether it's victory or defeat, I care about it from the outside.But as long as he returns home, he will calmly analyze all kinds of gains and losses immediately.Whether he quarreled with the opposing coach or denounced the referee, it was all for victory.Play psychological warfare with the opponent and put pressure on the referee.Many of them are deliberate gestures made by Mourinho himself after careful analysis.

But Mendes found out today, and Mourinho is really happy today.This is a kind of joy from the heart. Mourinho, who has always been calm, is so happy that Mendes is surprised.

"Of course. Coaching Barcelona has always been a dream of mine."

Mourinho is a top coach who has come from an interpreter to his current position. His coaching career so far is a legend.He followed Robson many years ago, 16 years ago. In 1992, when he was only 29 years old, he became the interpreter of Robson who coached Sporting Lisbon at the time.

In 1993 Robson became the head coach of Porto.At that time, Mourinho followed Robson to Porto.In Porto Robson won two Portuguese top league titles, as well as the Portuguese Cup.Mourinho, who was a translator at the time, was valued by Robson, and gradually changed from a translator to Robson's assistant coach.

In 1996, after three seasons in Porto, Robson accepted the invitation of Barcelona and became the head coach of Barcelona.And Mourinho, who has followed Robson for almost four years, officially became Robson's assistant coach and also became Barcelona's assistant coach.This is the first and most critical step for Mourinho to truly become a coach.Here Robson won the Spanish Super Cup, King's Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup, and also won the title of the best coach in Europe at that time.

Robson left Barcelona in 1997, and his successor was Van Gaal, who created the golden generation of Ajax.When Robson left, he recommended Mourinho to Van Gaal.So Mourinho continued to stay at Barcelona as his assistant coach.Until 2000.Assistant coaching career in Barcelona for four seasons.Arguably Mourinho's most important moment.

During this time, he learned a lot from Robson and Van Gaal.Also in Barcelona, ​​he managed his own network, and began to learn Barcelona's football style, and also began to learn to command the game.

Later, whether in Porto or Chelsea, he achieved great success.But as the saying goes, "wealth and honor do not return home. It is like walking in brocade clothes at night".For Mourinho.His coaching career started in Barcelona.So he has a different feeling for Barcelona.This is irreplaceable by any club.Just like first love, Barcelona is first love for Mourinho.

He has always hoped to return to the Nou Camp and be able to coach Barcelona at the Nou Camp.This is his dream for many years.It's just that he hasn't shown it.

"Jose, Florentino will soon return to Real Madrid. Real Madrid will definitely sign up a lot by then, are you really sure?"

Not long ago, Barcelona's vice-chairman Mark Ingra and the club's sports director Beji Listan met with Mendes and Mourinho.Their meaning is very simple, Rijkaard must get out.Laporta is very dissatisfied with Rijkaard's low-energy locker room management. Although Barcelona's performance this season is not bad, it has not met Laporta's requirements.

It is very simple for Rijkaard to get out, but it is not so easy to find a new coach for Barcelona.How can I say that Barcelona is also a European giant, and finding a head coach is not just a cat or a dog.Among the current head coaches in European football who are idle at home, Mourinho's performance may not be the best, but he is definitely the most famous and attractive.

So Laporta sent Mark Inguera and Begilistan to meet Mourinho.Discuss the possibility of Mourinho coaching Barcelona next season.Of course Mourinho was very happy about this, and nodded immediately.Before the meeting, Mourinho made a very detailed report.Of course, Mourinho himself is such a head coach. Mourinho is known for his attention to details and statistics.Before every game, he will thoroughly study the opponent's game video, passing lines, players' running and touching the ball, and strive to only hit seven inches.

Now that Barcelona is in contact with him, of course he has to make the most detailed planning.In it, he conducted a very detailed analysis of Barcelona's players, as well as the most detailed analysis of the pros and cons of the current Barcelona.Also write the signings that should be made, as well as Barcelona's future development plan and so on.Anyway, Mourinho can be said to do his best to impress Barcelona.

Ingra and Begilistan are very satisfied with Mourinho, and also satisfied with his future plans.Mendes hopes that the two sides can initial the contract, but Barcelona does not agree.Because they are worried that this will affect Rijkaard, after all, the season is not over yet.But the two parties have already made an oral agreement.

Mourinho is calm, but also proud.Now coaching Barcelona is almost a certainty, so Mourinho said disdainfully: "Florentino knows what kind of ball. He will definitely introduce a large number of outstanding players in the summer, but unfortunately any team needs too many signings. A period of running-in. Even if any superstar comes to an unfamiliar environment, it will take a period of time to adapt. This period of time is enough for me to close the gap between them.”

Mourinho is full of confidence.As for Atletico Madrid, who have performed better and better in La Liga in the past two years.Mourinho didn't pay attention at all.Atletico Madrid is not as financially comparable to clubs such as Tottenham, Villa, and Newcastle in the Premier League.Atletico Madrid have lived comfortably in the past two years, but unfortunately it has reached the extreme.It is impossible for them to keep so many good players.

Before Atletico Madrid, only Torres had the highest salary, with an annual salary of up to 800 million euros after tax.But with the strength of Atletico Madrid in the past two seasons, those players of Atletico Madrid have asked for high salaries.Including Raul Garcia, Gago, Maxi Rodriguez, Aguero, Alves, they all demand high salaries now.It is impossible for Atletico Madrid to afford it all.

…………

Mourinho has reached the peak of excitement, while Rist is not in a good mood.Mourinho is very strong, which Rist will never deny.After all, Mourinho has proven his strength in history, not to mention other champions, Inter Milan's Triple Crown alone is an honor that many coaches will never achieve in their lifetime.Plus Chelsea's six crowns in three years, Porto's triple crown and the Champions League, etc.No matter what his enemies vilify him, he has left his name in the history of world football as a manager.

But Rist would not agree to Mourinho going to Barcelona.Until now everyone thinks that Mourinho's football is a defensive counterattack.But Rist believes Mourinho also has ideas in attack.After all, he has been in Barcelona for more than four years.It is also deeply influenced by Barcelona football.Coupled with the influence of Robson and Van Gaal, he must have his own unique views on offense.It is impossible to only know defensive counterattacks as many people commented.

But Rist can't take risks, absolutely dare not take risks.Messi can have that kind of achievement in history.It has an absolute relationship with the dream three created by Guardiola.No dream three.There is no Messi in history.If it is a big opening and closing style of play in a large space.Messi's power will drop a lot.

Messi is a trump card in Rist's hand, and Rist can't have any rashness.If Mourinho changes Barcelona's style of play, he will not be able to come out of a prosperous age like Dream Three.At that time, Rist will lose a lot of money.Messi is the cornucopia scheduled by Rist, and such an uncontrollable situation must not occur.

"Ginnes, to what extent have they talked?"

This is what Rist really wants to know.To be honest, Rist absolutely cannot let Mourinho enter Barcelona. Isn't this a joke?If Guardiola becomes the head coach of Barcelona, ​​then Messi can become the No.1 in world football just like in history.But once Mourinho takes over, there will be too many variables.Messi may be more brilliant than in history, but he may also be bleak under Mourinho.Which kind of situation it is, Rist can't judge.Rist doesn't want to gamble on such variables.Don't take the flat road, choose an unknown road, only a fool would choose this way.

"Ingra and Begilistan have already talked with Mourinho, and I don't know the details. But I heard that the two parties have already made a verbal agreement."

"A verbal agreement? That means you haven't signed a contract yet."

Rister nodded.Although a verbal agreement is also an agreement, as long as it has not been formally signed, it is all false.Especially in European football, even initialed contracts are violated, let alone verbal agreements.

"What, you object?"

"Of course. Leo doesn't suit Mourinho's style of play. It's obvious."

In fact, with Messi's strength, he should be able to have a place in any team.Just like the current Real Madrid, if Messi plays the shadow forward position, it is still very good.After all, Messi's extraordinary ability is there, and his passing is also good enough, plus his shooting ability, it is easy to play the shadow forward position.But if it's just this, it would be a waste of Messi's talent.Rist's expectations for Messi are not just that simple.

"In fact, the same is true for Valdez. Mourinho's goalkeepers have excellent goal-line skills because of the need for defensive counterattacks, and they don't need the ability to move in a wide range."

"Well, yes. But what else can we do now?"

Agents are sometimes very strong, especially against some small clubs.Just as Rist controls the Extremadura club, Rist has a great say in their club, just like the general manager and sports director of the club.

But in the face of giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the agent's right to speak is not so high.Unless Messi has a later status, Rist will have enough say in Barcelona.But the current Messi has obviously not reached that level, so at the level of Barcelona's selection of coaches, Rist and Carvajal have not yet had a decisive say.

Rist also had a headache.Mourinho, why don't you choose a giant that lacks a championship, why come to Barcelona to join in the fun.It seems that Mourinho and Barcelona are deadly rivals in history, so why should they coach Barcelona.

Thinking about it this way, Rist has some impressions.It seems that during this time period, Mourinho and Barcelona broke out huge news that year.That's what came to be known as "Disc Gate".At that time, everyone thought that Mourinho was going to coach Barcelona, ​​but then things fell through.Thinking about it this way, Rist slowly smiled.

"Gines, I heard that Cruyff disapproved of Mourinho's football?" (To be continued...)
