Chapter 158 Mendes and Mourinho

For a moment, various praises came towards Zhang Yang like the tide of the Seine River. Countless media and so-called football experts compared Zhang Yang with some famous scorers in the world football world. This is not surprising. Just like the Netherlands and Serie A comeback every year, the media talked about comparing this. In their opinion, only this comparison can arouse the infinite imagination of fans, which is also a selling point.

Some say that Yang's style is like Inzagi, and some say that Yang's style is like Henry, the current Arsenal King. However, after the match between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain, there is a saying among Marseille fans who have become popular. They say that Yang is like Drogba, which is mainly because Zhang Yang scored a goal under the pull of Jepez, which made Marseille fans with the "Drogba plot" find some glorious memories.

However, Zhang Yang himself doesn't like this comparison very much. In fact, for a shooter, the memories of the past shooter will make him very upset, which means that he has not reached a height, making the current fans forget the former height.

It can be said that the media compares Zhang Yang with world superstars like Inzagi and Henry. This is definitely the biggest compliment for this young man. However, Zhang Yang of course also knows that he would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe what the media said. This is his first French Ligue 1 season. A hat trick in a game, and the media praised himself to heaven... He has no doubt that if he does not score two consecutive games, he will fall directly from the sky. The higher the praise, the worse the fall.

※※※※※※※※※※

Zhang Yang still remembers that not long ago, before he fell into a goal drought, although media like Le Figaro were also criticized by him, most media still praised him. Then, without a goal in a game, and without a game, various doubts and criticisms followed one after another.

There are also various criticisms during the previous ban, butchers, executioners, no professional ethics, not worthy of playing football, etc., and the sky is criticized like a knife. Now, after the comeback, a hat trick. All kinds of flattery and praise are back, and it is getting worse and worse.

Although this is only Zhang Yang's first professional season, he is still fresh and young, Zhang Yang is no longer a rookie when facing various media remarks. After experiencing the ups and downs of the past period, Zhang Yang can calmly treat various remarks from the outside world. When he was on the phone with the country, his father and elder brother did not forget to teach Zhang Yang often, warning him to recognize himself, avoid being arrogant and impetuous, and not be discouraged when criticized, and not be self-righteous when praised. Never forget the essence and original intention of playing football. It is not impossible to be young and frivolous, but when needed, keep a calm heart as much as possible.

Of course, Zhang Yang knew how much he was. Compared with Henry, he couldn't catch up with the current slap. He was the "King of Highbury" and one of the greatest scorers on the planet. He won the Premier League Golden Boot, Premier League Championship, World Cup Championship, and European Cup Championship. He was only the first season of his career, and he was really incomparable.

You can take Henry as your own goal and catch up, but if you really take what the media says seriously, you will be a fool.

※※※※※※※※※※

This is actually the case in the football world. The winner is the king. If you win the game and perform well, you will be praised immediately. But if you perform poorly, you will be immediately dropped and fallen miserably.

Zhang Yang will still read the newspapers, pay attention to the media’s evaluation of himself, try not to pay attention to the media’s noise and praise, and listen to them, and naturally feel comfortable. That’s all, don’t take it too seriously.

As for the media to interview himself, Zhang Yang also said that as long as the team agrees, he will cooperate seriously. If the team does not agree, he will have nothing to do.

After experiencing the ban, Zhang Yang became more mature than before. He began to truly integrate into his current life. He is a public figure and a football star. Every move is no small matter.

Many young players just became famous and were a little lost in the face of media praise. They started to not work hard and eventually became mediocre.

※※※※※※※※※※

After the game, Zhang Yang returned to his residence and received a call from his home. His father was very happy. He saw his son's outstanding performance on TV, which made Zhang Dad, who was worried that Zhang Yang would not know the good or bad after experiencing the suspension. During this period, Zhang Dad often called Zhang Yang to urge Zhang Yang not to relax his requirements for himself when there was no competition and to train hard. Whenever this time, Zhang Yang would agree with a smile, occasionally saying that he would not train well one day, which caused his father to scold him. In fact, it might just be a mistake in Zhang Yang's training, but Zhang Yang amplified the mistake. He liked to listen to his father's scolding and nagging, which would make Zhang Yang, who was alone abroad, feel the care of his family through this electromagnetic wave.

In fact, he himself trained very hard, and he would not talk about normal training. After the training, he also practiced more with his youth teammates Yagioi and Louis. When he returned to his residence, he practiced himself to death in the dungeon. If he was the hardest working part of the team, Zhang Yang would be the one.

Behind success is the sweat that others cannot see.

※※※※※※※※※※

Mendes was not surprised at all that he received a call from Mourinho. He did not go to watch the game between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain, but watched it in front of the TV. He was already in Barcelona at this time. Deco and Barcelona had some problems with the renewal of the contract. He was here to deal with this matter.

When Mendes saw Zhang Yang scoring twice in the game, he smiled. He also saw Mourinho in the stands on TV. He knew that Zhang Yang's performance was enough to make Mourinho excited.

Thinking of the proud guy's tone when he recommended Zhang Yang to Jose before, Mendez was a little angry. The players recommended by my super agent Mendez are all guaranteed.

"Hey, Jose, how did you get to visit France?" Mendes said with a smile, "That Ivory Coast is good. I heard he scored a goal."

Mourinho frowned. He was a proud guy. Of course he wouldn't like others to talk to himself in a proud tone. Mendes on the other end of the phone seemed to know Mourinho's temper. Mendes immediately smiled and continued, "Okay, let's not kidding, my player is like this? I said, you'll be lit up."

Mendes's player, this is naturally referring to Zhang Yang.

※※※※※※※※※※

"A good guy has potential." Mourinho immediately gave a positive answer. He learned about Mendes' signing process with Zhang Yang before, and joked, "I didn't expect that when you went to Marseille and your entourage, you could actually pick up such a treasure."

"No, no, no, this is not what I found," said Mendes. "This is the result of my hard work, and hard work is rewarded."

Mourinho shook his head, this old friend is this virtue.

"Jose, do you know what Zhang Yang attracts me the most?" Mendes asked suddenly.

Mourinho shook his head and said he didn't know. His impression of Zhang Yang was limited to this game. He really didn't know much about anything else, so he didn't mention that he wanted to bring Zhang Yang to Chelsea. Mourinho was not the kind of coach who only saw one game and would sign a check to buy people.

"Serious," Mendes said. "I appreciate his serious attitude more than his talent. Any great player is not because of his talent, but because of their efforts and attitude."

Mourinho nodded. He agreed with this, and at the same time he really became interested in the uproar, because Mourinho himself is a head coach who pays great attention to the attitude of the players. His players may not be the kind of talented genius, but they must be strict tactics on the court, training seriously, and playing seriously.

※※※※※※※※※※

"So, you recommended this young man to me," Mourinho said.

"No, no, no." Mendes shook his head, "He is not suitable for your Chelsea."

"Why?" Mourinho was surprised and asked.

"Your Chelsea has no place for him now. I believe that the guy named Kalu you are following is just a substitute." Mendes said to himself. He knew the answer was yes, so he continued, "Zhang wanted to play as the main player. Now for him, the substitute for the giants is unacceptable. He is now the fastest growing time, and playing games is the most important thing."

Mourinho knew that Mendes was right. Even if he bought Kalu, this Ivorian boy was a substitute at Chelsea. It would be great if he could play more than a dozen games in a season.

※※※※※※※※※※

"Jose, ask you a question." Mendes suddenly asked seriously.

"You said." Mourinho was a little surprised.

"If I could run Zhang Yang to join Chelsea, would you give him the first substitute?" Mendes asked. He did not ask for the main identity. He knew it was impossible. However, if he was the first substitute, he believed that both him and Zhang Yang himself could consider accepting it. The intensity of the Premier League is much higher than that of Ligue 1, and in addition to the Champions League, this is also helpful for Zhang Yang's growth.

"Impossible." Mourinho said without any hesitation. Chelsea has a lot of talented strikers, and even if he is the first substitute, there are two or three stars who compete. Zhang Yang obviously has no chance.

"That's it." Mendes said with a smile, "Don't regret it in two years. By then, it will probably cost a lot."

"No one will make me regret it." Mourinho said, but when he said this, he thought of the boy who played a hat trick today, and he was hesitant for no reason.

※※※※※※※※※※

"By the way, are the Ukrainians going to you?" Mendes asked Mourinho that as a super agent, he is well-informed about these things in the football circle.

"Don't ask me about this." Mourinho said with a sneer.

Mendes heard Mourinho's tone and stopped asking. He knew that Mourinho had never asked to buy Shepchenko. The one who liked Ukrainian nuclear warheads was Chelsea boss Abu.

Thinking of this, Mendes said secretly again, "It's a pity that Zhang Yang is just making his mark now. If she waits for a season or two, if Shepchenko leaves AC Milan at that time, he would be willing to operate Zhang Yang to join the Ross and Blacks."

Unfortunately, Zhang Yang is still a complete rookie now, and it is almost impossible to gain a foothold in a wealthy family.
