When Chang Sheng learned that Porto had agreed to his offer, he finally smiled - he had been nervous before, and he was even prepared to spend 20 million if it didn't work out. Unexpectedly, it was 1,600
Wan then captured Porto.
Porto must think that they have made a lot of money, and they also think that Valencia has made a lot of money.
He knew that Mourinho would definitely not let Deco leave, but this decision was made by the chairman of Porto and had nothing to do with the head coach.
Mourinho does not want to have control over transfer rights.
He has no right to interfere with the club's transfer. If the club chairman insists on selling Deco, he will definitely not be able to do anything.
Of course, Mourinho will definitely be unhappy.
He even wanted to win with his knees. With Mourinho's character, he would inevitably go to Porto's club chairman to make a fuss.
But what does that have to do with myself?
I never worry about my opponents.
I even hope that Mourinho will have a big fight with da Costa and then resign in anger.
Porto has no hope of winning the Triple Crown, and it is impossible to win the Champions League in the 2003-2004 season. Naturally, there is no famous coach Mourinho.
It's great that I have one less competitor because of this...
※※※
However, things did not develop in the direction Chang Sheng expected.
In fact, Mourinho did run to Da Costa and had a big fight after learning the news.
He couldn't accept that the club had sold off the core of his team.
But his arm can't twist his thigh. He is just a head coach, not a "manager" in English football, and has no power to decide on transfers.
He only learned the news after Porto and Valencia reached an agreement.
Because da Costa deliberately concealed this matter from him.
Mourinho almost achieved his dream of always winning, so it would be wise for him to resign.
But at the most critical moment, fate took action.
Mourinho suddenly calmed down. He has been wandering for many years. After coming out of Barcelona, he wanted to prove his coaching ability.
Now it seems that Porto is the most suitable stage for me.
If you resign in anger, where will you go?
Starting over in a new place? Who knows how long it will take to reach the heights we are in Porto now.
Although Mourinho will be called a "madman" in the future, his madman temperament is not obvious yet.
Faced with the cruel reality, Mourinho finally lowered his head.
But when he lowered his head, he had already made a decision in his heart.
In the future, we must have the power to transfer, just like winning, no matter which team we go to. No matter whether this is the local football tradition...
He never wants his players to be sold without his knowledge!

When Mendes received a call from Porto telling him that the club had sold Deco to the Spanish team Valencia, Mendes was surprised - because as the player's agent, as someone with a good relationship with the club
Agent, he had never heard anything about it before!
"What's going on, Renato?"
Renato Tres is in charge of Porto's transfer work, so he naturally has a good relationship with his agent. So Mendes often calls Renato and keeps in touch, and the names between them are also very affectionate.
"Well, actually, Jorge, we were surprised ourselves..."
Then Renato Tres introduced the situation to Mendes.
"In short, Valencia offered us a price we couldn't refuse... Chairman Da Costa thought the deal was a good deal, so he agreed... But I think for you, this is a good thing.
,Jorge?”
Mendes smiled: "But I think my players may not be willing to leave Porto."
"Just tell him that he is the player named by the Valencia coach to introduce. I wish him good luck in Valencia."
Mendes hung up the phone and did not call Deco again, but fell into deep thought first.
He is no stranger to Valencia's head coach.
When Valencia purchased Carvalho before, the two people had interacted with each other, but the interaction was very shallow. Because at that time, it was Llorente of Valencia Club who was in charge of Carvalho's transfer, not Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng only came out to meet with Cavalu and Mendes when the players signed contracts.
Mendes was not very impressed with him at the time and just regarded him as an ordinary coach from the beginning.
Unexpectedly, one year later, that unassuming Chinese would have become the champion coach of La Liga.
It seems like this is a potential stock?
With the sense of smell of a professional agent, Mendes was keenly aware that he and Chang Sheng might be able to establish some kind of cooperative relationship.
A head coach definitely needs enough outstanding players to support him.
And he happens to have such resources, and the two sides cooperate and join forces. He can help Chang Sheng win more championships, and Chang Sheng can promote his players to the world and earn more commissions for himself.
This is a win-win move...
And having purchased his own players twice in a row, Mendes couldn't help but wonder whether Chang Sheng was more optimistic about the quality of his players.
This also laid the foundation for future cooperation between the two people.
When Mendes thought of this, he felt that he could further contact Chang Sheng through Deco's transfer.
At this time, Mendes had not yet become the all-powerful agent he would later become. He rose to prominence with Mourinho.
Today he is powerful in Portugal, but not in Europe.
He realized that if he wanted to go to a higher level, Spain, a stage bigger than Portugal, would be a good choice.
If you can have a good relationship with Chang Sheng, you can promote your players to European football. Then European clubs will rush to buy their players...
Then you will be prosperous!
Mendes began to have a dream, and he decided to build Deco into a model project, letting the whole of Europe know that all the players under Mendes are capable!

Deco, who was on vacation in Brazil, received a call from his agent Mendes.
Mendes told him that starting next season, he might have to be a member of the Spanish Serie A championship team Valencia.
Deco opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time, his mind completely lost.
He is living a good life in Porto. He is very satisfied with his life in Porto. He has never shown any intention to leave the team, nor has he asked for a salary increase. He is the main core of the team, and he thinks that the team should leave.
Why was it suddenly sold if it couldn't be sold to him?
Mendes also told him: "Valencia wants you by name, Anderson."
Valencia wants me by name?
Deco felt even more amazing.
He does know that Valencia won La Liga and the Copa del Rey last season, and created a new history of La Liga in the past 70 years, winning the title undefeated.
They were the only team to go undefeated in the entire European League last season.
Even the Portuguese media were discussing Valencia's unbeaten season.
But how could such a strong team take a fancy to itself?
"Don't think too much, Anderson. Have a good vacation in Brazil. I'll help you with the contract. After so many years of cooperation, can you still not trust me?" Mendes said on the phone.
Deke nodded mechanically: "Of course I can trust it..."
"That's fine, just wait until you go to a bigger stage, Anderson! You're so lucky, ha!" After saying that, Mendes smiled and hung up the phone.
Being blown by the sea breeze, Deco came back to his senses.
I'm actually going to La Liga? To La Liga, one of the five major leagues in Europe?
To a La Liga champions team?
Go to the "Great Valencia" - Portuguese media language.
Recalling the embarrassment he was in when he first arrived in Portugal, Deco couldn't believe it was true, as if he was dreaming.
It was an afternoon in the summer of 1997. Three young people from Brazil appeared at Lisbon Airport, and Deco was one of them.
They joined Benfica from Brazil.
When the three people walked out of the terminal hall together, his other two companions were immediately surrounded by groups of reporters, but Deco was empty. Then, the two companions got into a luxury car,
Heading towards the center of Lisbon, Deco sent him a very dilapidated old Renault car. His direction was Alverca, a small town near Lisbon.
He was also surprised and asked his agent where he was going.
"Where are we going? Why not share a car with Paul and the others?" Deco, who had just arrived in Europe from Brazil, was a little nervous.
"We're going to an apartment in Alverca, that will be your home," his agent replied.
"Why not Lisbon?" Deco was surprised when he heard this answer.
"Because your future team is not Benfica, but Alverca." The agent said impatiently and ignored Deco.
Only then did Deco know that he had been deceived. When he was in Brazil, his agent clearly said that he would become a member of Benfica. But in fact, Benfica did buy him at that time, but this was Portugal's most prestigious club.
The team had no intention of letting him enter their first team. They loaned Deco to this second division team called Alverca.
In other words, he was abandoned.
At that time, he felt isolated and helpless. He was alone in the old apartment in Alvirca, crying constantly. He wanted to go home, but he didn't even have the money for the return ticket.
During his time in Alverca, Deco dreamed every day that he could wear the Benfica jersey and play football at the Stadium of Light.
Unfortunately, this wish never came true.
Later, he changed his agent and joined Mendes. Then Mendes persuaded the owner of Salgros Club to take him away from Benfica for US$500,000. After that, Mendes brought him to Germany.
Coe was brought to Porto, where he finally built a career.
But there is still a long way to go before joining a championship team in a mainstream European league.
Unexpectedly, it was completed so easily in one summer...
Happiness came so suddenly that Deco became a little panicked.
I was the main player in Porto. Can I still play in Valencia? There is also the famous midfielder Aimar in that team, who happens to be in the same position as me... (To be continued
