Chapter 694 Break

When Mourinho spoke, Inter Milan players were still celebrating wildly in the locker room. No one paid attention to the press conference on the live TV, so no one saw Mourinho's farewell declaration.

Morati, who was wet with champagne and beer, waited for a long time with the players. He saw that the press conference on the live TV was over, but Mourinho still did not come back. Morati called Mourinho's cell phone, and the phone was on the phone.

After a while, Mourinho's phone number finally dialed, Morati: "Jose, where are you? We want to go out and eat something and go back to Milan."

Mourinho said: "Chairman, I can't go there anymore. Mr. Mendez is here and I want to have a drink with me. You guys go and eat first."

"Okay, let's contact you again afterwards."

After hanging up the phone, the joy on Morati's face slowly disappeared. He had a bad premonition, but now it was the time to have a great joy. Morati didn't want the players to have other ideas, so he said: "Let's go, we don't have to wait for Mourinho. Mr. Mendes invites him to have a meal together. After the meal, he will go back to Milan with us."

Although it is not common for coaches to drink celebration wine with the players, some coaches are afraid that the players will not be able to let go, and some do not attend the players' gatherings. Besides, Mendes who invited Mourinho, no one thought about it, so they packed up their clothes and protective gear and left the locker room and went to the parking lot.

But Gao Xiaodong felt puzzled. If Mendes asked Mourinho to drink, how could he not call him? Quaresma is just a marginal player. It is normal for Mendes to ignore him. Gao Xiaodong is at its peak and can never be ignored. If what Morati said is true, then either Mourinho lies or what Mendes and Mourinho want to say cannot let Gao Xiaodong know.

The Inter Milan bus was already waiting in the parking lot, and there was an Audi parked not far from the bus. When Moratti and Inter Milan players came over, they found Mourinho was walking down from the studio building toward the Audi car.

Mourinho didn't expect to meet the players and Morati. He hesitated for a moment, waved his hands at Morati and his players, quickly got into the Audi car, and then started the Audi car, leaving the parking lot quickly, and disappeared into the vast night in Madrid.

Morati watched Audi leave, but he didn't care too much, but club manager Blanca quietly called him aside and whispered: "Chairman, it's Florentino's car."

"What? Are you sure?" Moratti's brows stood up. If Mourinho went to dinner with Mendes, he wouldn't care, but if Mourinho did not celebrate with the team after winning the championship, but instead had dinner with the chairman of another club, it would be a bit too unprotective, and he even didn't take the chairman Moratti seriously.

Blanca said with an unhappy look: "Confirm, because I have had several dealings with Florentino, and I remember this car and license plate number very clearly. Mourinho is too inauthentic."

Morati's face was as deep as water, and his facial muscles kept shaking, but he still barely controlled his emotions and said to Blanca in a low voice: "Don't care about him, let's go." After that, Morati strode towards the bus.

Blanca turned around and looked in the direction where the Audi car left, spitted, with a relieved expression on her face, and followed Morati onto the bus.

At the hotel celebration banquet, Moratti and everyone in Inter Milan knew about Mourinho's farewell statement at the press conference, which surprised the players and club executives.

In fact, since March, news about Mourinho's coaching Real Madrid will be seen from time to time in newspapers. Morati also knew through different channels that Real Madrid and Mendes and Mourinho had contacted each other, but for the team's great cause of winning the championship, Morati pretended not to know.

Even this time Mourinho did not attend the celebration banquet and left with Florentino's car. Morati wanted to pretend not to know and fool him, and then make a clear talk with Mourinho after the celebration ended.

But Morati never expected Mourinho would publicly express his intention to leave Inter Milan and coach Real Madrid next season.

On this happy day, the head coach of the Triple Crown champion publicly said that he wanted to leave, which was simply disrespectful to Inter Milan and too much did not take the chairman Morati as seriously.

After watching the video of the press conference, Morati was so angry that she trembled all over. Before she even finished her meal, she went directly outside the room to call Mourinho.

"Jose, why did you say that at the press conference? I need your explanation." Mourinho is a great contributor to Inter Milan after all. Morati tried to make his tone gentler, but his uncontrolled muscles made his words look a little stiff.

Mourinho was sharing dinner with Mendes and Florentino. He received a call from Morati and knew what Morati was going to say to him. Since he said goodbye publicly at the press conference, he didn't want to hide it anymore. He confessed: "Massimo, I will not coach Inter Milan again next season. I like Inter Milan very much, but I no longer have higher pursuits in Inter Milan, and I need to find new goals."

Morati said unhappily: "Jose, I know you want to leave, but why can't you wait a few days before you announce it? Isn't this day short of it? Don't you want to celebrate this great victory with fans and players who love and worship you?"

Mourinho smiled slightly and said, "Chairman, is there any difference between day and day? I have celebrated it, and it is the same for three more days. For me, the moment the game is over, the happiness ends, and I need to find new happiness, just like when I won the second league championship in the Premier League, I threw the medal to the Chelsea fans because I already have one, and I need a new championship."

"..." Morati was speechless, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Jose, you can leave, but Gao Xiaodong can't go with you. Jose, when will you come? Are you still waiting for you to return to Milan together?"

Mourinho said: "Chairman, don't wait for me. I have something to do in Madrid. You can go back first."

"What? You're not going back?" Morati said in surprise: "Jose, there are 100,000 fans in Milan waiting for you and the players to return. How can you not go back?"

Mourinho said lightly: "I'm sorry, Chairman, I can't get rid of it. I'll go back in a few days. In a few days, I'll discuss with you about the contract and liquidated damages."

"Jose, I hope you can go back." Morati repeated again.

"I'm sorry." Mourinho said firmly.

Morati didn't expect Mourinho to be so determined. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Mourinho, you can leave, but please don't take Gao Xiaodong away."

Mourinho did not expect Moratti to mention Gao Xiaodong at this time. He thought about it and felt that he would show up sooner or later, so he confessed directly, "Chairman, I definitely hope Xiaodong will follow me, but it is his freedom to stay in Inter Milan whether Xiaodong is willing to stay in Inter Milan, and no one can force him."

"No, Xiaodong has two years of contract with Inter Milan. He is from Inter Milan, so I will never let him go."

For Moratti, Gao Xiaodong and Mourinho are equally important. With Gao Xiaodong as the core, and with the original team, even if there is another coach, they can still continue to be the glory of the Great International. Since Mourinho can't keep it, Moratti will never want to let Gao Xiaodong go.

Mourinho said confidently: "Chairman, Xiaodong's liquidated damages are 80 million euros. Do you think he is not worth 80 million now? So, whether Xiaodong is willing to stay or leave, he can make the decision."

Morati then remembered that there was a liquidated damages in Gao Xiaodong's contract. When signing the liquidated damages, it was not considered that Gao Xiaodong could be worth 80 million a year later, so he set such a low liquidated damages. After the winter break, Gao Xiaodong's more and more battles, showing extremely high potential and immediate combat power. Inter Milan wanted to renew his contract with Gao Xiaodong, but was delayed by Mendes for various reasons.

Thinking about it now, the rumor that Mourinho went to Real Madrid started from that time. Mendes probably had the intention to let Gao Xiaodong leave Inter Milan and go to Real Madrid at that time.

His heart is so devastated! Morati felt that he was being deceived by someone. He was so angry that he wanted to call Mendes over and curse him. However, the initiative is no longer in Inter Milan. As long as Gao Xiaodong agrees and other teams are willing to pay liquidated damages, Gao Xiaodong can leave Inter Milan at any time.

Morati breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mourinho: "Mr. Mourinho, I treat you very well. You have worked hard in Inter Milan. The results of the triple-winning champion are enough to leave you with a lot of money in the history of Inter Milan and Serie A. Do you have the heart to let Inter Milan decline? This is also your hard work. I ask you to leave Gao Xiaodong for Inter Milan."

Morati's words were true at all, and Mourinho was also a little moved and moved, but thinking that Real Madrid's opponent was the terrifying universe team Barcelona, ​​Mourinho's heart immediately became hard and said lightly: "Chairman, I have already said that you and I can't decide where Xiaodong is going. Only he can decide. If you want to do a job, you should do Xiaodong's work."

Morati said angrily: "You are here to come, and you have grown up under your hands. He is the same agent as you. If you want to poach him, how can I do his job?"

Mourinho sighed and said, "Chairman, doesn't Inter Milan have Xiaodong's substitute?"

Morati said: "Who? You said Sneider? Sneider is good, but he can have Xiaodong's goal-scoring ability and Xiaodong's defensive ability."

Mourinho spread his hands and said helplessly: "Xiao Dong has only one, so let him decide for himself. Goodbye."

"I won't let Xiaodong go to Real Madrid." Morati said angrily.
