432 The Enemy or the Friend (Part 2)

"Coach Mourinho, what do you think?"

"Very impressive."

Mourinho really came into the attention of fans because Porto won the Champions League as a dark horse. Historically, many fans only knew Mourinho when Porto won the Champions League. But among European football insiders, Mourinho

Rinho came into everyone's attention because of his UEFA Cup championship in the 2003 season. At that time, Mourinho led Porto to win the Triple Crown, which made him famous.

There were many outstanding coaches in 2003, but the one who finally won the best coach in Europe was Mourinho. It can be said that the 41-year-old Mourinho has become well-known in European football since last season. Watch the UEFA Cup

It may seem inconspicuous, but Mourinho attracted everyone's attention with Porto's Triple Crown. Therefore, Mourinho's reputation in European football is still quite large.

"Lister, do you think Jose has a chance of becoming Chelsea's head coach?"

Although Lister had guessed the result, he didn't expect that Mendes would actually come after him. He couldn't even deal with such a thing. Lister looked at Mendes and said: "Jorge, Mourinho

The coach is very strong, and there should be no shortage of new suitors recently. I think even many wealthy clubs are interested in him,"

This is definitely not a compliment from Riester to Mourinho. Mourinho was the best coach in Europe last year, and his results this season are very good. He leads the Portuguese Super League, and there is no problem in winning the Portuguese Super League. In the Champions League, there is no problem.

He eliminated the Premier League giant Manchester United and created quite an upset. Now Mourinho's market price has only gone up, not down. There are not just one or two strong European teams that are interested in Mourinho.

Historically, before Liverpool invited Benitez, the first person they invited was Mourinho. At that time, Mourinho also wanted to go to Liverpool. After all, Liverpool is a wealthy club, while Chelsea is just an upstart. It was Mendes.

After convincing Mourinho, Mourinho finally became the head coach of Chelsea. Like Liverpool, many strong European teams want him to become the head coach.

"Lister, you and I know very well. The owner of Chelsea is a billionaire."

No matter what Chelsea does, it is a big cake for all agents. From the perspective of agents, whoever spends money is the boss of wealthy and upstart clubs. Mendes has a deeper understanding of wealthy clubs after running into obstacles at Real Madrid and Barcelona.

.Wealthy clubs are not easy to adapt to, so he began to look for a new target. He found Chelsea.

"Jorge, you should talk to Peter about this kind of thing. Peter is dealing with this problem now. You and Peter should know each other, why did you come to see me?"

Although List said this, he was still quite proud of himself. He had devoted himself to development for ten years and now he has become an oligarch agent in European football. Not long ago, Raiola transferred for Ibramovich.

When the problem came up, Lister was asked to help, and now a future agent like Mendes also came to ask Lister for help. From the side, we can see Lister's current status.

"Lister, Peter and I just know each other."

Mendes and Kenyon knew each other, but only just. The two people did not have a deep friendship. When Kenyon was the CEO of Manchester United, Mendes was a small agent, and before that, he was the manager of Figel.

Kenyon was very proud. At that time, Kenyon did not like Mendez at all. So the relationship between them was just a casual acquaintance.

"And I believe you know Abramovich. Although I have not met him, I believe he will definitely interfere in the selection of the new head coach. It is not just Peter Cairney who can influence Abramovich's decision.

Well, people like Pini Zahavi and Piet de Visser have great influence. I am not familiar with them, but I know that you have a deep friendship with each of them.

"

Lister didn't speak, because Lister carefully considered what Mendes meant. A big agent like Mendes would come to beg him. But after thinking about it, Lister burst into laughter. It's all Mendes's fault in history.

His reputation is so great that Lister has always regarded him as his number one opponent. He forgets that it is only 2004, and Mendes is just a rising star in the current European football world. In front of him, he is just a small agent.

The current Mendes, not to mention compared with List, is the older generation of agents such as Figel, Mascardi, Carvajal, Jerome Anderson, Stretford, Rai.

Ola and the others are stronger than Mendes. And the newly-emerged Ribeiro, Becker, Hidalgo, and Ricardo are all stronger than Mendes. It's just that they are not as good as Mendes in terms of stamina.

With this thought, List began to consider the follow-up issues. Mourinho's rise could not be stopped by List. After all, Mourinho's performance in Porto was so outstanding that he had conquered many strong teams in European football.

, even if Mourinho does not go to Chelsea, he will definitely rise in other clubs.

Of course, Chelsea has given Mourinho a huge platform. Without Chelsea, Mourinho's rise might not be so dazzling. Since Mourinho's rise cannot be blocked by List, then Mendes' rise can also be blocked by List.

Can't help it. Now that Mendes came to ask for help, List began to analyze some gains and losses.

Mendes will definitely be an enemy in the future, and Rist has always understood this. It is not because the two have any personal grudges, but because European football is so big, and any agent who may rise in the future is an enemy of Rist.

.But how to deal with such an enemy, Lister has never considered. In the past, Lister had always hoped to take precautions in advance and block the rise of Mendes. But today, Mendes came to find him, and Lister had some new ideas.

idea.

There is an old saying that is better to block than to open up. Rather than guarding against his rise, it is better to control his rise. And even if Lister cannot control the rise of Mendes, in the process of his rise

There are also some benefits, but it is not more suitable for me. Anyway, even if Mendes really rises in the future, in the next ten or eight years, his strength will never surpass Riester.

List now has many talented players. In the next ten or eight years, no one will be able to challenge List's position in European football. As long as List does not make mistakes and develops in an upright manner, List can continue to maintain its current status.

status. In this case, a simple cooperation with Mendes will still bring a lot of benefits to myself.

Riester thought about it for a long time, but Mendes did not urge him. Of course, Mendes is not qualified to urge Riester now. Riester is willing to help, and the chance of success in this matter is very high. But if Riester is up to something inside, the door will be closed.

Des was really going to vomit blood. Mendes knew that if List made some small moves inside, then with List's influence in all aspects of Chelsea, things would really go wrong.

"Jorge, you should know. Whether it's Pini or Piet, they all make money as middlemen."

Mendes wants Mourinho to join Chelsea and then get a share of Chelsea's transfers. But since it is a benefit, of course it is impossible for Mendes to take it all by himself. List, Zahavi, Devisser

These people need to get benefits from participating.

There is no one here who is a liar. Not to mention helping Mendes, even with Lister's personal relationship with Zahavi and Deviseel, if they help Lister, Lister also needs to talk to them.

Share the benefits together. These are all unspoken rules in the industry, and you need to abide by them no matter who you are.

"Rister, I understand this."

Mendes looked very proud on the surface, and he looked smiling and spoke very calmly. But inside he felt humiliated. Because he knew that it was not only the benefits of Mourinho becoming Chelsea coach, but also the benefits of Mourinho becoming Chelsea coach in one or two years.

If his players want to enter Chelsea, they will definitely not let it go.

Mendes was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it. When he was working as a pawn under Figel, he was even more unhappy than he is now. He was shouted at by others. But Mendes endured it, and that's why Mendes became what he is now.

S. Mendes has to endure this time because he has a more ambitious goal. And he had already thought that such a thing would happen before coming.

"Jorge, you should know about Tottenham's goalkeeper Petr Cech."

Mendes nodded. Cech is a rising star. Anyone who pays attention to European football doesn’t know that. After all, he is the player who has won the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. Riester smiled and said to Mendes

: "Jorge, Chelsea has now started to talk to Tottenham about his transfer, and I have almost reached the point of talking with them. I don't want him to be able to only play on the bench after the new coach comes in."

"I see."

Mendes seemed to have no temper. He accepted all Liszt's conditions. But the more he behaved so freely, the more Liszt was afraid of Mendes. As the overlord of Portuguese football agents, he is a capable person.

I can't bear it, this is the person who does big things. Mendes, Mendes. How can Mendes like this make Riester relax.

"Jorge, give me some time. I will handle this matter. You wait for my news."

Lister should try his best to involve everyone who can get involved, so that everyone can have the weight to divide the benefits in Mendes' hands, and Lister will not need to offend Mendes alone in the future. And only in this way Lister

Only then can we unite everyone and make Chelsea become the strongest force without Mendes. This can suppress Mendes and Mourinho.

Anyway, Riester knew in his heart that he must not relax about Mendes. He must not give Mendes wings, but should put shackles on him so that he cannot fly freely. He must wear them at all times.

A tight curse will do.

"Thanks."

Mendes considered that the best way for Mourinho's rise was to choose Chelsea. Otherwise, he would not be humble in front of List, but he remembered what happened this time.
