After the game, in the office of Atlético de Portugal head coach Gorba, Mendes heard for the first time the nickname given to Su Dong by Atlético fans.
"That's a pretty good name," the agent said with a smile.
Today, Batistuta can be said to be at the peak of his career.
Although he is already thirty-two years old, he has played for Fiorentina all year round. Even after the Viola was relegated, he still never gave up. This sentiment has conquered countless fans, and over the years, many fans have also expressed their feelings for Batistu.
I sympathize with Ta's experience because he has never won a Serie A championship.
Last summer, the 31-year-old Batistuta finally chose to transfer and came to Giallorossi. Together with Giannis Totti, he led Roma to the Serie A championship. Batistuta was also in the league.
Scored twenty goals.
This can almost be said to push Batistuta's career to the highest peak. Although he has shown his age and decline this season, he still cannot stop the fans from admiring and admiring him.
"Our fans like him very much, especially the way he plays, which is very similar to Batistuta. Therefore, they call Su Dong the [Little God of War]. This is both praise and expectation for him."
Gorba also smiled.
As time went by, he admired the decision he made more and more, which was absolutely wise.
When he retained Su Dong, his highest expectation was that he could train Su Dong for a year and sell him at a good price.
Thirty thousand euros was Gorba’s most ideal valuation at the time.
But now it seems that he still underestimated Su Dong.
"I guess if Su Dong heard this name, he would have some ideas." Mendes said with a smile.
Gorba laughed and nodded, "Martello said that Su Dong didn't like that small print."
Mendes nodded approvingly, this is what he likes about Su Dong and Ronnie.
A boy of sixteen or seventeen should have such energy and ambition, and even be a little arrogant.
Ahem...
Mendes and Gorba were chatting animatedly, but Belerenses technical director Carlos, who was being left aside, felt a little left out. This made him feel embarrassed and uncomfortable at the same time.
As the parent team, Carlos, the technical director, has always been very impressive in front of satellite teams like Sporting CP.
"Both of you, we can discuss this topic later, whether it's the Little God of War or the God of War. Let's talk about the serious stuff now."
Mendes and Gorba looked at each other. The former was an old fox, while the latter had been in low-level leagues all year round and was not a fuel-efficient lamp. How could he not know what the other party meant?
Do you really think they have the leisure to discuss Su Dong's nickname?
"Okay, let's talk about serious matters." Mendes stopped joking and sat upright.
"Jorge, I believe you should know that we have in-depth cooperation with Sporting CP all year round, including player training and transfers. Frankly speaking, we are very interested in Su Dong and hope to introduce him to our club.
team."
Mendes narrowed his eyes and seemed not to have heard the first half, "Mr. Carlos, there are many teams interested in Sudong, such as Benfica. They are also very sincere. Mr. Vieira also came to the scene today.
And Leiria, Mourinho called me several times and..."
"Jorge." Carlos couldn't help interrupting Mendes and gently knocked on the desk in front of him. "I have to remind you that we have a cooperative relationship with Sporting CP. They are ours."
Satellite clubs, we have the right of first refusal to buy their players, you should be very clear about this."
After a serious reminder, Carlos looked at Gorba again.
Gorba nodded quickly and said, "Yes, that's right. According to the contract, Belerences theoretically has priority."
After hearing this, Carlos couldn't help but frown. What's the theory, is it good in practice?
These two guys are clearly hooking up.
But this kind of thing is normal. The club wants to maximize its interests, and the agent also wants to fight for the interests of himself and the players.
If they were ordinary players, it wouldn't matter, but Su Dong is now in demand. If they still follow the rules of the satellite club, Belerenses will take advantage and they will suffer a big loss.
"It's just priority." Mendes looked nonchalant, "As long as a team is willing to pay a higher transfer fee than Belerences, that's fine, isn't it?"
Carlos' face darkened, but Gorba kept nodding with joy.
That's the truth.
"Besides, if I remember correctly, Su Dong signed a youth training contract at the time. In theory, his ownership does not entirely belong to Sporting CP. We do not have to transfer to Belerenses.
Isn't it?"
If I was pretending to be cover-up before, then this sentence is just plain obvious.
Mendes' meaning is very clear, that is to remind Carlos, don't think that we can only transfer to your team.
want to?
Yes, just like Benfica and other teams, show your sincerity and don't act like your home team and scare people with contracts. No one is scared these days.
Carlos's face showed an angry look, and the look he looked at Mendes became unfriendly.
He had heard of Mendes, but this was his first time dealing with him.
He is like a cunning fox. The key is that everything he does and every word he says is reasonable.
"Okay." Carlos stood up from his seat and looked deeply at Mendes and Gorba.
"We will come up with a transfer plan and player development plan as soon as possible, and we will have a good discussion at that time, but during this period, I hope that if you have any news, you can inform me as soon as possible."
At the end of the sentence, Carlos' eyes fell on Gorba.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The head coach of the athletic club hurriedly agreed and stood up to see him off.
Sudong's transfer is a one-off, but the cooperation between Sporting CP and Belerenses is long-term.
Which one is more serious, Gorba still knows in his heart.
…………

"Ha, I heard that you scored again yesterday, little God of War."
At five o'clock in the morning the next day, Su Dong met Ronnie again at the south gate of King Edward VII Park.
When the latter saw Su Dong, he was so excited that he almost rushed over and jumped on him.
It seemed that when Su Dong scored, he was happier than anyone else.
"Don't add that small word, I'm not small at all." Su Dong said seriously.
Ronnie looked at Su Dong and nodded. He was indeed not small, half a head taller than him.
After several months of physical training, Su Dong's physical fitness has also improved significantly, and the muscles all over his body are also very muscular. Compared with those macho men who have been in the gym for many years, he is quite good among his peers.
.
Of course, Ronnie is equally good.
"Okay, little God of War." Ronnie agreed seriously.
Su Dong rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Seriously, the Athletic Club can no longer accommodate you. Come to our Sporting Lisbon club as soon as possible." Ronnie and Su Dong hugged each other, encouraging and instigating each other, "I recommended it to Aurelio Pereira.
You've been there several times. I heard that our technical team has been studying you, but it's strange that there has been no movement."
Recently, there has been a lot of transfer news about Su Dong.
Of course the fans don't care, and the media never care about such low-level league transfers, but Su Dong and the people around him know that there are indeed many teams interested in him, and even Porto in the north has sent one.
Scouts scouted him.
Su Dong smiled and said, "You have always asked me to go to Sporting Lisbon, so you are not afraid at all. What if I go, your position as the first brother of the youth team will have to be given up to someone else?"
Ronnie laughed exaggeratedly, "You're the only one? Are you worthy?"
But soon, he put his hand firmly on Su Dong's shoulder and said very sincerely: "If it were someone else, I would definitely fight with him, but if you can really take my position away, then I will accept it."
Yeah, who made you my good friend?"
Although the two have only known each other for a few months, their friendship has become increasingly deep.
Especially not long ago, Su Dong emptied his family's pockets and lent all the money to Ronnie so that his father could come to Lisbon for medical treatment in time. So far, Ronnie has not had the money to repay him, and this
He always remembered his thoughts.
"Tell me the truth, are you coming to Sporting Lisbon?" Ronnie asked seriously.
In the past period of time, Ronnie had asked this question countless times.
It was obvious that he really wanted Su Dong to play on the same team as him.
Su Dong shook his head and sighed, "You know, I'm not very clear about many things, and I can't make up my mind. Moreover, Mendes said that there are variables in many things until the last minute, and I can't do it accurately."
"I asked Jorge and he said the same thing." Ronnie curled his lips, feeling a little unhappy.
He knew that Mendes must be hiding something from him.
Su Dong knew that Ronnie was worried about him, and felt warm in his heart. He patted his shoulder gently, "Anyway, I promise that if there is any progress, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Ronnie had no choice but to agree.
In fact, Su Dong knew some things about his transfer, because it was impossible for Mendes to hide it from him, but there were some things that he should try not to say if he could.
It's not that he can't trust Ronnie, but he's afraid that Ronnie will inadvertently send some kind of signal.
The next negotiation will be related to his development in the next few years, and it can even be said that it will determine his future career.
Mendes had a bad conversation with Belerences yesterday. This was deliberately arranged by him because he wanted to let the teams interested in Su Dong know that Su Dong did not have to transfer to Beleren.
Seth.
For the same reason, Su Dong must not reveal which team he wants to go to now, otherwise he will be very passive during negotiations.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and so is the negotiation table.
Su Dong is not good at these off-court matters, but after a period of contact, he believes that Mendes can help him deal with these problems and strive for the best interests for him as much as possible.
As for him, as a player, his most important task is to concentrate on playing football.
This is more important than anything else.
