Boas is unknown and ordinary in the eyes of the world, including fans, but Inter Milan players know that the 32-year-old assistant coach is Mourinho's eyes and confidant.

If you are familiar with Boas' past experience, you will be even more amazed and admired by this young man.

At the age of 17, he became the assistant of world-renowned coach Robson, at the age of 21, and then followed his senior brother Mourinho as an assistant coach and scout for 6 years. He can be called Mourinho's right-hand man.

Obviously, Boas's words are very heavy and even comparable to Zanetti, because in the minds of many players, Boas's speech represents Mourinho himself.

However, at this time Mourinho's eyes also showed a hint of doubt, because he had never told Boas that he would let Gao Xiaodong be the team's deputy, and he was originally considering Lucio.

What does Boas mean? Why did he support Gao Xiaodong? He has no qualifications and it is impossible to get on the rank of Inter Milan, but Mourinho knows his assistant too well. This is definitely a smart person, and he will never be impulsive.

Mourinho had to speak, "Boas, tell me your reasons."

Boas said: "We need a young vice captain, Javier Sanetti and Marco Matrazi are both 36 years old, and Ivan Cordoba is also 32 years old. We must consider the future of Inter Milan. We need a captain like Javier, who can become the Inter Milan flag in ten years or more..."

Boas is obviously Pizanetti, Quaresma, and Balotelli are better at persuasion work. His words immediately made the old players think deeply. In the field of professional football, 30 is a hurdle. After 30, they will basically go downhill. Even the youngest Cordoba is 32 years old. The three of them may retire at any time. Will they just find someone to be the captain?

Boas continued: "Among the young people, Thornton and Balotelli still need to work hard for the main position. Montali has a little irritable temper. They are not as calm as Gao Xiaodong, and have a slight gap in ability. They are not as appealing as Gao Xiaodong. Players older than Gao Xiaodong can be competent as team deputys. However, from the future, I think Gao Xiaodong is the most suitable."

Boas is quite smart. He doesn't talk about ability, qualifications, experience, prestige, but only age. The comparisons are Balotelli, Thornton and Montali. Compared with this, a fool also knows that Gao Xiaodong is more suitable.

Etoo said: "I stick to my opinion. I can't accept a 19-year-old child as the captain. Messi is much better than Gao Xiaodong at this age, and Guardiola did not let him be the captain."

Quaresma was displeased when she heard this and said, "Messi is very outstanding, but is Messi of the same age definitely better than Gao Xiaodong? Gao Xiaodong took Rexos to win the Portuguese Super League at the age of 17, Porto to win the Portuguese Super League at the age of 18, and reached the Champions League final. He scored a hat trick in the Milan derby and was very likely to become the winner of this year's European Golden Boy Award. When he was 19, I didn't know where Messi was better than Gao Xiaodong."

In world football, many people now compare Guardiola with Mourinho, and think that the results are similar, but Guardiola plays much better than Mourinho. When he hears Eto Hoon comparing Guardiola with him, it seems that Guardiola is more wise than himself, Mourinho is very unhappy.

Matrazi said: "I think the captain should be related to the team's image, and I think we should consider it carefully."

Cordoba said: "Wait, I think it's a little early now."

Lucio said: "I think it's better to wait."

...

Seeing that his teammates objected and said they wanted to wait a little longer, Gao Xiaodong was a little anxious. Who knew when this time would be waiting? The night was long and the dreams were too long. The captain Sanetti might not necessarily support him next time. Now he has to strike while the iron is hot.

Gao Xiaodong stood up, pretended to be modest and said calmly: "Coach Boas and Captain Javier both support me as the captain. I am very moved. There is a reason for the opposition of Etoo, Matrazi and other teammates. It may be a little earlier now..."

Everyone was surprised by Gao Xiaodong's words. Why is this kid so modest, so polite, and looking uncontested, especially Zanetti and Mourinho, who were even more surprised. They knew that this kid was definitely not such a person.

Sure enough, Gao Xiaodong changed his subject and said, "...But being able to be the captain of Inter Milan is definitely an honor. Everyone lets me wait. I can afford it, but there must be conditions or time limits. You can't wait indefinitely."

A smile flashed across Mourinho's face. This kid is young and can't hold back now. It's really the reason he's doing it behind his back. But Mourinho still can't figure out how Gao Xiaodong moved Boas and Sanetti.

Of course, Boas and Sanetti cannot sell favors. Being a bad guy by themselves. Although Gao Xiaodong is a team deputy, it is not impossible. His ability, fame, value, and IQ are enough, but the worst is his qualifications.

Mourinho said: "I have seen everyone's opinions. We really need a deputy captain now, and a young deputy captain. Gao Xiaodong has been captains in Rexos and Porto, and he did a good job, but to be a captain of a wealthy family like Inter Milan, he is still too young..."

When Gao Xiaodong heard this, he was anxious and was about to interrupt, Mourinho waved his hand at him and continued: "...I think he should wait at least until he is 20 years old, and give him some tests to see if he can be competent for the captain of Inter Milan. What do you think?"

Mourinho seemed to be reasonable, but in fact, Gao Xiaodong was only one month away from 20 years old. In addition, he had the final say in whether he passed the exam or not.

Lucio said: "Xiao Donggao must at least help the team win the Champions League trophy so that his teammates and fans can convince him."

Etoo said: "This is the minimum requirement. Messi and Ronaldo won the Champions League trophy and have not become captains yet."

After hearing this, Gao Xiaodong secretly scolded him in his heart that he would win the Champions League trophy as a teammate and fans, and that he would convince his teammates and fans. Is this the president of UEFA?

Mourinho said: "It's not the captain, it's just the team's deputy. The requirements don't have to be so high. Well, as long as you can beat Barcelona and help the team qualify in the group, not violate the team's records, and not affect the team's image, you can pass the test."

Although Lucio and Etoo still have opinions, they are just a deputy captain position, so it is not easy for them to offend Gao Xiaodong to death. After all, Gao Xiaodong's position is very special. Xiang Qian can assist Etoo and Xiang Qian can assist Lucio in defense, because offending Gao Xiaodong too harshly is not good for him.

Lucio, who wanted to be the vice captain, did not talk to Etoo, and Matrazi and Cordoba would not be evil people. Gao Xiaodong's plan to be the deputy team was finalized.

After the meeting, Mourinho kept Boas, but before Mourinho could speak, Boas spoke first: "Jose, I want to say goodbye to you. Coimbra wants to ask me to coach. Before leaving, I want to push Gao Xiaodong to the position. He can give you more help in the captain position."

Mourinho was not surprised. After all, Boas followed him to study for so many years and was waiting for the opportunity to coach a professional team. However, after Boas left, it was a huge loss to Mourinho. It was difficult for him to find such a confidant assistant again. He sighed and Mourinho said: "Villas, when will you leave?"

Boas said: "Let's wait until Barcelona's Champions League group stage."

Mourinho said: "Okay, I wish you success."

Boas gave Mourinho a hug, "Jose, thank you for your careful guidance over the years."
