Mendes and Mourinho have known each other for so many years, but this is the first time to see Mourinho, a personality coach, so excited. Even if he has won the heavyweight championship before, he has never seen him so excited.
Many people say Mourinho is a passionate coach. Look at how he behaves during games. He also provokes those coaches, constantly criticizes referees, etc. Many people think Mourinho is crazy. But Mendes
As Mourinho's agent for many years, I know Mourinho very well. Mourinho is not the kind of person who is always happy, and most of the things he usually shows are intentional. Mourinho himself usually
It's very calm.
Although he looks very hot-tempered outside, he is actually a very calm person. Whether it is victory or failure, he seems to care very much from the outside. But as soon as he returns home, he will immediately calmly analyze various gains and losses.
Whether he quarreled with the opponent's head coach or criticized the referee, it was all for the sake of victory. He only played psychological warfare with his opponents and put pressure on the referee. Many of these were deliberate gestures made by Mourinho after his own careful analysis.
But Mendes discovered today that Mourinho is really happy today. This is a kind of joy from the heart. Mourinho, who has always been calm, is so happy that it surprises Mendes.
"Of course. It's always been a dream of mine to coach Barcelona."
Mourinho is a top coach who has gone from being a translator to his current position. His coaching career up to now is a legend. He followed Robson many years ago, which has been 16 years ago. He was only 29 years old in 1992.
At that time, he became the translator for Robson, who was coaching Sporting Lisbon at the time.
In 1993, Robson became the head coach of Porto. At that time, Mourinho followed Robson to Porto. In Porto, Robson won two Portuguese top league championships and the Portuguese Cup. Mourinho served as a translator at the time.
Neo gained Robson's attention and gradually changed from a translator to Robson's assistant coach.
In 1996, after three seasons in Porto, Robson accepted Barcelona's invitation and became Barcelona's head coach. Mourinho, who had followed Robson for almost four years, officially became Robson's assistant coach and also became Barcelona's head coach.
Assistant coach. This was the first and most critical step for Mourinho to truly become a coach. Here Robson won the Spanish Super Cup, Copa del Rey, European Cup Winners' Cup, and also won the best award in Europe at the time.
Coach's title.
Robson left Barcelona in 1997, and his successor was Van Gaal, who created the golden generation of Ajax. When Robson left, he recommended Mourinho to Van Gaal. Therefore, Mourinho continued to stay at Barcelona to do his work.
Assistant coach until 2000. His four-season assistant coaching career at Barcelona can be said to be Mourinho's most important moment.
During this period, he learned a lot from Robson and Van Gaal. Also in Barcelona, he managed his own network, and began to learn Barcelona's football style and how to direct games.
Later, he achieved great success both in Porto and Chelsea. But as the saying goes, "Wealth never returns home. It is like walking at night in fine clothes." For Mourinho, his coaching career started in Barcelona.
.So he has a different kind of feeling for Barcelona. This cannot be replaced by any club. Just like first love, Barcelona is Mourinho's first love.
He has always hoped to return to Camp Nou and coach Barcelona at Camp Nou. This has been his dream for many years. But he has never shown it.
"Jose, Florentino is going to return to Real Madrid soon. Real Madrid will definitely be recruiting heavily by then. Are you really sure?"
Not long ago, Barcelona's vice-chairman Mark Ingla and the club's sporting director Begilistan met with Mendes and Mourinho. Their message was simple, Rijkaard must get out. Laporta
I am very dissatisfied with Rijkaard's incompetent locker room management. Although Barcelona's results this season are not bad, they have not met Laporta's requirements.
It is very easy for Rijkaard to get out, but it is not so easy to find a new coach for Barcelona. After all, Barcelona is also a European giant, and finding a head coach is not just a random cat or dog. In the current European football world, most people are idle at home.
Among head coaches, Mourinho may not have the best results, but he is definitely the most famous and attractive.
Therefore, Laporta sent Mark Engla and Begilistan to meet with Mourinho to discuss the possibility of Mourinho coaching Barcelona next season. Of course Mourinho was very happy about this and immediately
Nodded. Before the meeting, Mourinho made a very detailed report. Of course, Mourinho himself is such a head coach. Mourinho is famous for his attention to details and statistics. He every
Before each game, we will thoroughly study the opponent's game video, passing routes, players' movements and touches of the ball, and strive to only hit seven inches.
Now that Barcelona is in contact with him, of course he has to make the most detailed planning. In it, he conducted a very detailed analysis of Barcelona's players and the most detailed analysis of the pros and cons of the current Barcelona. He also wrote out what should be done
signings, Barcelona's future development plans, etc. Anyway, Mourinho can be said to be doing his best to impress Barcelona.
Engla and Begilistan are very satisfied with Mourinho and his future plans. Mendes hopes that the two parties can initial the contract, but Barcelona does not agree. Because they are worried that this will affect Rijkaard. After all,
The season is not over yet. But the two parties have already made a verbal agreement.
Mourinho is a calm person, but he is also a proud person. Now it is almost certain that he will coach Barcelona, so Mourinho said disdainfully: "Florentino knows nothing about football. He will definitely introduce a large number of players in the summer."
Excellent players, but unfortunately any team that recruits too many players will need a period of adjustment. Even if any superstar comes to a strange environment, it will take a period of time to adapt. This period of time is enough for me to pull them out of despair.
gap."
Mourinho is full of confidence. As for Atletico Madrid, which has performed better and better in La Liga in the past two years, Mourinho does not pay attention to it at all. Atletico Madrid's financial resources are not as good as those of Tottenham and Villa in the Premier League.
, clubs like Newcastle United and Atletico Madrid have been very comfortable in the past two years, but unfortunately it has reached its extreme. It is impossible for them to retain so many good players.
Previously, only Torres had the highest salary at Atletico Madrid, with an annual after-tax salary of up to 8 million euros. However, with the strength of Atletico Madrid in the past two seasons, Atletico Madrid players are demanding high salaries. Including Raul Garcia,
Gago, Maxi Rodriguez, Aguero, Alves, they all demand high salaries now. Atletico Madrid cannot afford them all.
…………
Mourinho has reached the peak of excitement, while Lister is not in a good mood. Mourinho is very strong, which Lister will never deny. After all, Mourinho has proven it in history.
His own strength, let alone other championships, Inter Milan's triple crown alone is an honor that many coaches cannot achieve in their lifetime. In addition, Chelsea's six crowns in three years, Porto's triple crown and Champions League championship, etc.
No matter how much his enemies slander him, he has left his name in the history of world football as a head coach.
But List will not agree to Mourinho going to Barcelona. Until now, everyone thinks that Mourinho's football is defensive counterattack. But List believes that Mourinho also has offensive ideas. After all, he played four years in Barcelona.
He has been deeply influenced by Barcelona football for more than 10 years. In addition, he is influenced by Robson and Van Gaal, so he must have his own unique insights into offense. He cannot only know defensive counterattacks as many people evaluate.
But Riester can't take risks, and he definitely doesn't dare to take risks. Messi's ability to achieve that kind of achievement in history is absolutely related to the dream three created by Guardiola. Without the dream three, there would be no Messi in history. If it were
Messi's power will be reduced a lot if he plays a wide-open and wide-open style in a large space.
Messi is a trump card in List's hand, and List cannot be reckless. If Mourinho changes Barcelona's style of play, he will not be able to have a prosperous era like Meng San. Then List will lose a lot of money.
.Messi is the treasure trove of Riester's plans, and such uncontrollable situations must not occur.
"Gines, how far did they go with each other?"
This is what List wants to know. To be honest, List can never let Mourinho enter Barcelona. Isn't this a joke? If Guardiola becomes the head coach of Barcelona, then Messi will be able to become the world's top coach as he has historically been.
The number one player in football. But once Mourinho takes over, there will be too many variables. Messi may be more brilliant than in history, but he may also become dim under Mourinho. Which one is it?
Lister cannot judge this situation. Lister does not want to bet on such variables. Leaving the smooth road alone and choosing an unknown road is only a fool's choice.
"Engla and Begilistan have already talked with Mourinho. I don't know the details. But I heard that both parties have already reached a verbal agreement."
"Verbal agreement? That means there is no contract signed yet."
List nodded. Although a verbal agreement is also an agreement, as long as it has not been formally signed, it is all false. Especially in European football, even an initialed contract is violated, let alone an oral agreement.
"Why, you object?"
"Of course. It is obvious that Leo is not suitable for Mourinho's style of play."
In fact, with Messi's strength, he should be able to have a place in any team. Just like Real Madrid now, if Messi plays the shadow forward position, he will still be very good. After all, Messi's extraordinary ability is there, and his passing ability is also there.
He is good enough, and with his shooting ability, it is easy to play the shadow forward position. But if it is just like this, it will be a waste of Messi's talent. Riester's expectations for Messi are not just that simple.
"In fact, the same is true for Valdez. Mourinho needs to defend and counterattack, and goalkeepers have excellent goal-line skills and do not need the ability to move in a wide range."
"Well, that's right. But what else can we do now?"
Agents are sometimes very strong, especially when it comes to small clubs. Just like when Rist controls the Extremadura club, Rist has a great say in their club, and he communicates with the club president.
Manager, sports director the same.
But facing giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, the agent's say is not that high. Unless Messi has a later status, List will have enough say in Barcelona. But the current Messi obviously does not have it.
At that level, when it comes to Barcelona selecting a coach, Riester and Carvajal do not yet have a decisive say.
Riester also has a headache. Mourinho, if you don't choose a giant club that is short of championships, why come to Barcelona to join in the fun? Historically, it seems that Mourinho and Barcelona are bitter enemies, so why do you want to coach Barcelona?
Thinking about it carefully, List has some impressions. It seems that it was during this period that Mourinho and Barcelona broke huge news. That was what was later known as the "Disc Gate". At that time, everyone thought
Mourinho was going to coach Barcelona, but later the matter fell through. Thinking about this, List slowly showed a smile.
"Gines, I heard that Cruyff didn't appreciate Mourinho's football very much?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
