There is one thing that Li Ang did not mention, but it does not mean that Mendes did not consider it, that is: Pepe is a player Mourinho is optimistic about, but Mourinho went to Chelsea, and Porto’s new head coach Coa
Drianse obviously doesn't like Pepe, otherwise, he wouldn't have directly transferred Pepe to Sporting Gijon before meeting him!
In fact, this is Mendes' biggest consideration. Obviously, Pepe is likely to be ignored under Adrian Ce.
The new head coach of a team decided to sell the players without even meeting them in person. This attitude is too obvious.
So, the purpose of his trip is to get to know Li Ang and see Li Ang's attitude towards Pepe. If this head coach really values Pepe, then Mendes will be relieved.
Pepe is only a 21-year-old young player now. It seems that Mendes does not pay too much attention to Pepe. His focus now is naturally Ferreira, Deco and other famous stars. As for Pepe, Mende
As long as Sri Lanka fulfills the responsibility of an agent and can find the most suitable team for Pepe, it will be regarded as a good job.
Now it seems that the situation is good.
***********
In addition, Mendes is very familiar with the current situation of Sporting Gijon. This team defeated Getafe 1-0 away from home in the first round of the La Liga promotion play-off final under extremely difficult circumstances.
It can be said that Sporting Gijon has already stepped into the threshold of La Liga!
Mendes was holding the "AS" in his hand just now. Regarding the media's criticism of Li Ang's conservative tactics, Mendes did not pay attention at all. You must know that his number one coach Mourinho's
The tactics are also conservative, or even worse than Li Ang's. On the contrary, Mendes admires Li Ang. He is not the kind of head coach who only thinks about beautiful football. He knows how to assess the situation and judge the situation.
On the contrary, it is the most successful.
Mendes has a very good impression of Leon.
A head coach with courage and drive, a head coach who is not rigid, and if Sporting Gijon returns to La Liga, Pepe will be able to play in La Liga games and UEFA Cup games. This is better than the situation in Porto.
It can't be bad, and considering Adriance's attitude towards Pepe, the environment at Sporting Gijon seems to be better.
Li Ang and Mendes chatted happily, and the atmosphere was good. The two also chatted about some current football affairs and the ongoing European Cup.
***********
Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief. When he communicated with Mendes, he was also very energetic. This agent was not easy to deal with. Now that he saw Mendes's attitude, he knew that Pepe would join.
The last obstacle was now gone. He was now ready to embrace the fierce young centre-back with open arms.
The two parties finally discussed the issue of Pepe's treatment. These are no longer problems. Mendes has a big picture. Pepe is just a young man with a small role under him. Naturally, he does not expect to make money from Pepe now.
No matter how much it is, as long as the personal treatment given to Pepe by Sporting Gijon is reliable, then it is acceptable.
The biggest difference between the two sides is the length of Pepe's contract. Li Ang advocates a five-year contract. This is understandable. Head coaches hope that players they admire and value can sign long-term contracts.
However, this was detrimental to players and agents, so Mendes insisted on signing a three-year contract.
In the end, both parties took a step back. Pepe signed a four-year contract with Sporting Gijon, and Sporting Gijon had priority to renew the contract.
Now, everything has been discussed, and all the problems and obstacles in Pepe's transfer to Sporting Gijon have basically been resolved. The rest is just waiting for Pepe himself to sign the contract.
Having signed Pepe, Li Ang was extremely happy.
***********
"To be honest." Mendes said, "The reason why I agreed to Pepe going to Gijon is because you are the head coach of this team. I am now looking forward to the La Liga and European competitions next season. You are the head coach of Gijon."
It’s a competitive performance.”
Mendes's words were very high-level. On the one hand, he wished Sporting Gijon success in La Liga. On the other hand, he bluntly expressed his appreciation for Li Ang: I agree with Pepe to go to Gijon because you are the team.
head coach.
This is Mendez's proactive show of kindness. Originally, with his current status, there was no need to show his favor to a coach of a Spanish second division team, but he just did it. It can be seen that this man's success is not accidental. His vision is
On the one hand, there is also the attitude towards others.
Li Ang was naturally happy after hearing this. He was also slightly proud of being praised by Mendes.
"I also believe that Mr. Mendes will become the best athlete in football in the future." Li Ang raised his glass, "I believe that we will have more cooperation opportunities in the future!"
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it too!" Mendes laughed and the two clinked glasses.
“A pleasure to work with!”
“A pleasure to work with!”
***********
"Come on, come on, try the dishes I ordered." After the work was finished, Li Ang invited the other party to taste the Spanish feast.
This is a well-known restaurant in Madrid. The price is not high, but the taste is good.
Leon ordered four dishes, potato pancakes, Galician octopus, small fish marinated in oil and vinegar, and Spanish churros.
Mendes is also familiar with Spanish food, but the taste of this restaurant is indeed good, and the agent also praised it highly.
"Let's talk about delicious food." Li Ang said with a smile, "Our Chinese food is still the most delicious. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will treat you to the most authentic Chinese food."
"I have also been famous for Chinese food for a long time." Mendes nodded.
"When I have time in the future, I will cook myself." Li Ang said with a smile and winked, "I am a pretty good cook."
This is Li Ang's initiative to show his kindness. Whether it is according to Western etiquette or Eastern etiquette, the host takes the initiative to cook. This is a treatment that only very good friends can enjoy.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it very much." Mendes also smiled, "My cooking skills are average, but the donuts I bake are great. You must try them when you have the chance."
Mendes also reciprocated the favor and responded in kind.
Both sides laughed and clinked glasses.
***********
Obviously, Pepe's transfer is just one of the topics today. The most important thing is that the two people have deliberately made good friends and established a certain friendship.
What Li Ang said before is correct. He will inevitably have to deal with this super agent in the future. You must know that the players under Mendes will account for almost a lot of top players in the future.
As for Mendes, he is very interested in Li Ang and is relatively optimistic. If we build a good relationship now, it will be easy to cooperate in the future.
Well, as for Pepe, during the entire conversation, neither of them considered the young man's thoughts.
For Mendes, the fact that he can personally talk to Li Ang is already very responsible to Pepe. What else do you want to do to an unknown boy like you?
It is very likely that the team will be promoted to La Liga, the head coach appreciates and values it very much, and it can also play in the UEFA Cup. Mendes knew that even if Pepe felt uncomfortable at first, he persuaded Pepe.
After analyzing the current situation, Pepe will be satisfied in the end. What's more, Mendes is confident in his influence on Pepe.
As for Li Ang, he knows very well. Once Mendes is dealt with, Pepe will be dealt with naturally.
Well, this is the only way for an unknown guy to grow up. Unless you become famous and have seniority in the future, you will be qualified to bargain with clubs and agents.
