Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 752 Qi Zu and the Madman

As soon as Mourinho came out of the chairman's office, he ran into Zidane.For this former football master, Mourinho actually admires him very much. Although he usually doesn't express it much, he has never given Zidane a cold face-everyone who is familiar with Mourinho's character knows , This is a very high salary, as long as Mourinho sees who is unhappy, even if you are the chairman of Real Madrid, he will not miss it.

"You came to Mr. Perez, Zizu?"

Mourinho nodded at Zidane, and after saying hello, he was about to turn and leave.

"Jose..." Zidane suddenly stopped Mourinho when the two passed by.

"What's the matter, Zizu?" Mourinho turned around with a smile on his face.

"Originally I came to find Mr. Perez, but...it's the same with you..." Zidane is very clear that the madman's "madness" is only relative to his opponents. In many cases, he treats his colleagues and players the same It is very kind, of course, the premise is that you can't do anything to make him unhappy.

Zidane smiled back, then made an inviting gesture and said: "Do you have time? Jose, there is something I want to talk to you about."

Mourinho glanced up at the watch on his wrist, and then looked through the window by the aisle to the training ground, where Real Madrid's players had already started training.Usually at this time, Mourinho has already appeared on the training ground to supervise the players' daily training.

"It won't take too much of your time, Jose." Zidane smiled again.

"Well, Zizu, you know I don't talk about personal matters during working hours, if it's not something important..." Although Mourinho said this, he didn't stop walking, and he went straight to the end of the aisle , there is a smoking room there, neither Zidane nor Mourinho smokes, but there is no one there at this time, they can sit down there and have a good talk.

After the two sat down, Zidane hesitated and said: "Jose, what do you think of the recent... er, transfer farce? I'm talking about a few players we have taken a fancy to."

"Van Persie and that German kid from Bayern Munich?" Mourinho frowned.The team's transfer matters will ultimately be decided by him. Although Zidane is Florentino's consultant and team sports director, he is not qualified to intervene in this matter.Now Zidane has doubts about the introduction of players, and the sensitive Mourinho can't help feeling a little disgusted.As we all know, Mourinho is an iron-blooded coach with a desire for control and a strong wrist. The condition for him to be the head coach of Real Madrid is to have absolute control over the team. Whether it is a transfer or running the army, he must have Absolute power that is unambiguous, and no one is allowed to point fingers.

Seeing Mourinho's slightly displeased expression, Zidane guessed that the other party wanted to go wrong. He quickly waved his hand and explained: "Jose, I don't mean to intervene in the transfer matter, it's just..." Zidane hesitated before saying, "José, do you really think Van Persie and Schweinsteiger are right for Real Madrid?"

Hearing Zidane's explanation, Mourinho's face softened slightly, but his brows were still clustered together: "Zizou, you shouldn't ask about these things." After a pause, Mourinho might feel that It is not appropriate to speak so strongly to an old courtier of the team. He thought for a while and continued, "Van Persie and Schweinsteiger were introduced by Valdano. I have no objection to this. I agree. There's no point in disagreeing."

When he said this, Mourinho had no expression on his face at all, but Zidane still heard a hint of sarcasm from his mouth.

"Hey, there is a door!" Zida thought to himself, then looked at Mourinho and asked, "Isn't this your decision?"

"I will make such a decision?" Mourinho finally climbed up the face of a clear and unmistakable sarcasm, "Some people will not give up if they don't accept a little rejection. Want to dig other people's core? Let’s see what price you will pay! Even if others are willing to sell, is it possible that such a large price will be directly proportional to the reward? Why not use the money to buy some more suitable players!”

Although Zidane knew for a long time that Mourinho and Valdano were at odds, he did not expect that the conflict between the two had swelled to this point. Listening to Mourinho's tone, he obviously wanted Valdano to make a good show Ugly, and then "add insult to injury".

Zidane can even think that if Valdano hits a wall many times and still fails to bring substantial benefits to the club, Mourinho will definitely "force the palace" and take away his power to transfer to the manager.You must know that what Mourinho wants is absolute control of the team, and Valdano controls the transfer power of the team. This can be regarded as Mourinho's "thorn in the eye and thorn in the flesh".

"I also think that the pursuit of these two players is a complete farce..." Seeing Mourinho's surprised eyes stealing over, Zidane waved his hand and said, "Using so much money to buy two players?" I don’t think it’s a good deal for a player who can play the main role in Real Madrid. It’s better to use the money to buy more suitable and better players. Don’t you think so, Jose?”

Mourinho fell silent, his eyes fixed on Zidane, as if he wanted to see through his innermost opinion.

Just when Zidane was looked at by Mourinho, Mourinho laughed abruptly. He waved his hand, looked directly at him, and said, "Zidane, you want to ask why we Willing to pay a lot of money to bring in two players who are not necessarily suitable for Real Madrid, but not willing to spend the money on buying... Mo. Right?"

Everyone said that Mourinho was a smart man, and Zidane knew this, but he was still a little embarrassed when the other party directly told him his intentions.However, Zidane is also a magnanimous person. He doesn't think his proposal is bad for the team. Could it be the player that Real Madrid needs? It will bring a new look to Real Madrid.

"Yes, Jose. Mo is a very good player. I think his arrival will bring more help to the team." Zidane straightened his expression and said frankly.

"I admit that he is very good, he can even be said to be the best professional player I have ever seen, even better than Cristiano." Mourinho shrugged and continued, "Mr. Perez and your I am very clear about the idea. We decided to introduce him a season ago, but unfortunately he refused. Today, he has led Tottenham Hotspur to achieve the Triple Crown. It stands to reason that he has proved our original vision That's right. However, the introduction of him faces three problems."

"Huh?" Zidane frowned and looked over suspiciously.

"First, his worth. Qi Zu, you should be very clear that Mo's worth should have reached 7000 to [-] million euros a season ago. Now that they are the triple crown champions, this price will also rise significantly. It is said that Redknapp, Tottenham's manager, has made it clear that there is no €[-]m deal."

"So what about 23 million euros? Isn't it worth the price? To be honest, I think if [-] million can bring Mo to the Bernabeu, we will still make money. You must know that Mo is only [-] years old this year, and he can still play for Real Madrid. How many years, how many championships! From another perspective, the combined value of Van Persie and Schweinsteiger is almost the same. If you are willing to buy these two players, why are you unwilling to introduce them? Mo? Can a quantitative advantage cause a qualitative change? Spending [-] million to buy two people seems to be more cost-effective than one person, but I dare say that Mo's value is definitely not comparable to these two people."

Seeing that Zidane couldn't wait to defend Mo Fei, Mourinho couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.He is very clear about Zidane's character, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as being dedicated to the public. Could it be that he is not his relative? Since he is fighting for the other party in this way, there is only one explanation-Zidane really appreciates this. young people.

"Listen to me." Mourinho stopped Zidane, who was a little emotional, and then asked the second question, "Also, whether Mo wants to come to Real Madrid is also a question. You should know that China is jealous now Mo, there are countless big teams wanting him, what advantage do we have to join the fight for him? If it is just throwing money, the board of directors will not agree, they will not be willing to fight all teams for one player Competition and price gouging will cause the club to suffer unnecessary losses."

"This..." Zidane was silent.Mourinho's words are very reasonable. What basis does Real Madrid have to gain an advantage in the fight against Murphy?If you only fight for financial resources, although Real Madrid is not afraid of anyone, it is impossible for the directors to invest money without limit. Zabi consortium may not be inferior to Real Madrid.

Seeing that Zidane was silent, Mourinho did not continue to speak.He sat on the side, his eyes drooping slightly, as if waiting for Zidane's thinking to end.

"Should we just give up like this? Such an outstanding player, he can play for the Bernabeu for at least 7 years, 7 seasons..." Zidane muttered to himself, he was a little unwilling, suddenly looked up To Mourinho, "Jose, such a player who can beat Barcelona by himself, do we really have to give up? To be honest, I have had enough of being suppressed by Barcelona. We are Real Madrid! Great Real Madrid, why should those pigs be crushed all the time!"

Zidane stood up, waved his arms fiercely at Mourinho, still making the final effort.

"Qizu, Mo is an Asian player. If he joins, it will take up one of our non-EU quotas..." Mourinho said softly.

"That's not a problem, both Marcelo and Garay have Spanish citizenship, they can make room for Mo, we have no shortage of non-EU places!"

"But Mo's worth is really high..."

"I don't believe that Real Madrid will not be able to afford this money. At worst, they will give up their pursuit of Van Persie and Schweinsteiger. Anyway, these two people seem to have no chance..."

"But Mo there..."

"He and I are very good friends, we have a good personal relationship, I can persuade him. The player's willingness is the most important thing in the transfer, as long as the price we offer is enough for Tottenham Hotspur to agree to us. Just get in touch with him."

"Okay then..." Mourinho stood up, showing a tricky smile at Zidane, "Since everything has been solved, what else can I say? Please, Zizu, I need you Went to England for a while."

"What..." Zidane was stunned. He saw Mourinho's question as a trick.

"Actually, Mr. Perez and I have discussed Mo's issue just now, and we concluded that he is the player we need!" Mourinho smiled.

"Then you just now..." Zidane suddenly remembered that Mourinho came out of Florentino's office just now. Could it be that they... Zidane suddenly felt a feeling of being "calculated".

"I'm just talking to you about the problems you may encounter when introducing Mo. I didn't say that I'm against introducing Mo. What's more..." Mourinho smiled like an old fox, "...we really need You go to be a lobbyist, ha, we all know that you and Mo are very good friends. Haha!"

Zidane shook his head with a wry smile, as if remembering something, and then asked aloud: "Didn't you just say that there are three questions? There is one more question?"

"This question is nothing to worry about." Mourinho smiled at Zidane pretending to be relaxed, "You just need to convince Mo, and then leave the other things to me."

The third problem is actually the "partisanship" with Valdano. Valdano is more inclined to introduce Spanish local players. He has always opposed the introduction of Murphy, but although Mourinho thinks that "solve" Valdano Nuo is a little troublesome, and he is just troublesome. Now he has the upper hand in competing with Valdano for control of the team, and he is not afraid of the opponent at all.As long as Valdano loses power completely, he will be able to build the team completely according to his vision, and it will not be far away to overthrow Barcelona's domination of La Liga...

"Okay, I'll go and book a ticket to London right away." After speaking, Zidane waved his hand and left in a hurry.

"Good luck, Zizu." Mourinho smiled at Zidane's retreating back, and murmured in a low voice, "You are right, Zizu. We are already very unhappy with the domineering situation over our heads. It's time for a change, Barcelona... huh!"

A gleam of disgust flashed in Mourinho's eyes, he snorted, turned and left.
