Chapter 714 Decided to leave
Gao Xiaodong has been unhappy recently because the Inter Milan locker room has not been quiet since Benitez took office.
Balotelli was late on the first day, and Benitez took down a huge photo of Mourinho.
On the third day, Benitez asked to clear all the things related to Mourinho in the locker room, and even the photo of Matrazi and Mourinho were asked to take home, which made Matrazi very dissatisfied.
Then when the team was training, Zivo almost started arguing with the Cameroonian because Etoo did not return to defense.
Later at a dinner party, Matrazi drank too much, Xiang Gao and Benitez asked him to be a spy in the locker room to see what the players said.
During training, Benitez was eager to perform differently from Mourinho. He learned Italy's counterattack in the frontcourt and Spain's control in the backcourt. The full-game pressing tactics almost made the old players run away and vomit.
It doesn't matter to Gao Xiaodong and other young people, but the old players couldn't stand it. They thought that Benitez was deliberately forcing them to leave. Matrazi and Cambiaso went to Moratti to complain, believing that Benitez was not good. Even if they wanted to change Mourinho's tactics, they had to proceed step by step and could not be completely denied.
In the transfer market, Inter Milan completed several transactions early, but in Gao Xiaodong's opinion, it would be better not to do such a transaction.
Now Morati and Inter Milan executives are tightening their money under the banner of adapting to UEFA's fiscal fairness policy and youthfulness. They bought Viabiani for 5 million, Livaja for 180,000 euros, Serrano for 60,000 euros, and signed substitute goalkeepers Castrozi and Farahoni for free. The only capable Coutinho bought it two years ago.
Gao Xiaodong saw that Chairman Moratti had achieved his long wish for many years and was no longer willing to invest more vigorously. For Moratti, who was nearly 70 years old and spent 15 years on Inter Milan, this approach was understandable, but the ambitious Gao Xiaodong was very disappointed with this kind of behavior of being at ease with his little wealth.
It was at this time that Mendes came to Milan and told Gao Xiaodong about Inter Milan's ultimatum to him.
"Xiaodong, you need to make a decision immediately. Benitez is here. You have been trained under him for a while. Whether to leave or stay, you should have your own judgment."
Mendes's serious words.
Gao Xiaodong said: "Mr. Mendes, do you think I will leave or stay?"
Mendes sneered: "I have always hoped that you will leave. Chairman Morati will not be able to invest as vigorously as before, and players will not be as motivated as last season. If they do not change blood vigorously, their results will definitely not be good. If they don't leave at this time, will they be driven away if they have poor results?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "If I go, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Barcelona, which one would I choose?"
Mendes said: "Chelsea also faces the problem of aging personnel, but they are like Inter Milan last year, full of desire for the Champions League. However, their coach Ancelotti is too dull and too face-to-face, and his boss Abram is too anxious and strong. I am afraid that they will be disbanded when they encounter setbacks. Although Manchester City has a lot of money, they cannot even play in the Champions League. For your current status, it is unacceptable not to play in the Champions League, and it will give fans the impression of financial fans. If Barcelona is, you cannot accept Real Madrid. Can you accept Barcelona? So for these four teams, Manchester United is your best choice."
Gao Xiaodong actually prefers Manchester United, but he also has many concerns about Manchester United, "But Rooney is still sure of the transfer?"
Mendes said: "Don't worry about this, Ferguson agreed. As long as you go, you will be the core, and Rooney will be your assistant."
Gao Xiaodong blinked his little eyes, "Mr. Mendes, what if that old man Ferguson cheated me away and said nothing more than what he said?"
Mendes smiled and said, "You can be honest with this old man's character. Didn't Rooney still act as a wingman for Ronaldo? Besides, Manchester United also needs Anderson and Nani to help you."
Gao Xiaodong frowned slightly and said, "It seems like the Premier League needs a labor certificate? I have never played in the national team game."
Mendes laughed and said, "Labor Certificate? Do you still need a Labour Certificate? You are a genius and you can directly transfer to Manchester United through the genius clause."
Gao Xiaodong said: "I just don't know if Manchester United's style of play is suitable for me?"
Mendes said: "Why is it not suitable? The Internet does not say: Hot-blooded young people, Manchester United, impact-type play, and you are seamlessly connected."
It turned out that Mendes was not that supportive of Gao Xiaodong going to Manchester United. Now he couldn't stop saying good things about Ferguson, which made Gao Xiaodong a little strange. However, he also wanted to go to Manchester United, so he didn't think much about it. He just asked about the feasibility of joining Manchester United and the possible problems he might encounter.
Mendes sent Ronaldo, Anderson and Nani to Manchester United. He was very familiar with Manchester United's situation and answered Gao Xiaodong's questions in detail.
Gao Xiaodong asked Mendes very carefully about everything about Manchester United and finally said: "Mr. Mendes, I won the first triple-champion in my career at Inter Milan. I am very happy here. I don't want to be as embarrassed as Mourinho. I hope to get along well with Inter Milan. I hope you can make this transfer well."
Mendes heard this and was a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, saying, "Mr. Mourinho left a little too hurry, but in fact he could leave more beautifully. I will try to do it as well as possible for you to transfer this time. Activating the liquidated damages is rather ugly. If both transfers are activated, it will not be good for you. So, I asked Coach Ferguson to quote 79.99 million euros, or trade in cash and players. In this way, it will be a little better."
Last time Gao Xiaodong transferred, Mendes asked Mourinho to bid one more euro. This time Mendes wanted to make Ferguson bid one lesser. The handsome Mendes was so vulgar, and Gao Xiaodong had to admire him.
However, Gao Xiaodong thinks this is really good. Inter Milan earns a lot of transfer fees, and both sides still have face. At least they won't make Moratti look ugly like Mourinho left.
"Okay, Mr. Mendes, just do what you said."
"Well, I'll make a quote from Sir Ferguson first, and then go to Chairman Morati and tell him your idea of transfer. The following is the issue of the tripartite talks. By the way, if you feel embarrassed, you can take a leave to go back to China for a few days to rest, so as not to be disturbed by fans."
Gao Xiaodong suddenly remembered that Rooney was going to transfer. A few days ago, Manchester United fans almost burned Rooney's home. If he wanted to transfer, he still didn't know what crazy actions would Inter Milan fans do.
Gao Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said, "It's not good to take a leave and rest. It seems like I'm going to stop training. Let Sir Ferguson first quote, and wait for me to go to the United States for training with the team. Then tell Chairman Morati that I want to transfer, don't make Chairman Morati sad, he is very nice to me."
Mendes didn't expect that this cunning and greedy boy was so humane, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I bought it for 50 million yuan for a year, won the Champions League championship that I haven't won for 45 years, and made 30 million yuan. No one would be unhappy with such a transaction. In fact, the Trustee Oil Company of the Morati family has poor performance and has encountered a global economic crisis. It is more beneficial for Chairman Morati to sell it at a high price."
Gao Xiaodong heard this and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That's good, please, Mr. Mendes."
