May, the final season.≤

Among the five major European leagues, four of them have announced their answers, and only the Spanish league's championship suspense remains.

This season's La Liga is another two-man competition. The third place was left behind by Real Madrid and Barcelona early and announced its withdrawal from the championship. As the defending champion of the Champions League last season, Real Madrid spent a huge amount of money to introduce several midfielders including Bale and J Ronaldo last summer. Therefore, before the start of the season, even the most picky media had to admit that this Real Madrid has a great hope to break the biggest curse since the reform of the Champions League, that is, no one can defend the title.

The media's optimism is not without reason. Although Real Madrid did not have the unstoppable momentum in the Champions League this season, they still reached the semi-finals, almost one step away from achieving the feat of breaking the curse. However, the curse was fulfilled at this time, with a total score of 2-3, and Real Madrid fell at the feet of Juventus.

In addition to the league that was tied by Valencia at home three days ago, in just one week, Real Madrid, the most successful team in Europe last season, was empty of all four, because it was almost impossible to expect the arch-rival Barcelona to lose all the last two rounds of the league.

The team's performance was not satisfactory, and there was almost only one result in Real Madrid.

There are three people eating at an unknown restaurant near the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, including Real Madrid President Florentino, Real Madrid General Manager Sanchez and... the famous agent Mendes.

If it were not necessary, Mendes did not come to Madrid often. Of course, this does not mean that he did not pay attention to his relationship with Real Madrid's senior management. On the contrary, he and Real Madrid are probably their most important partners, Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Pepe, Cointran... No agent has more influence on Real Madrid than Mendes. The reason why they don't come to Madrid often is purely because Mendes does not want to create some unnecessary topics.

Last summer, European football has always had such a small-scale transfer news related to Real Madrid, and the rumored object was Mendes' player Falcao. Real Madrid wanted Falcao, but this was not news. The news was that Florentino rejected this possibility.

"If I sign Falcao, I have to give up the position of chairman to Mendes." This is what Florentino said to his confidants in the gossip. Mendes is not sure if Florentino really said such things, but for him, as long as there is this possibility, he must consider this possibility. The so-called "intimacy" is placed in business, which is a common interest and has no relationship with "Wujian".

Mendes appears here today, the ostensibly aiming to be Pepe's new contract and Coentran's future next season, but Mendes knows that things are probably not that simple.

Mendes has had several contacts with Real Madrid since last summer. The differences between the two sides are not on annual salary, but on years, so it is only a matter of time to reach an agreement. However, Coentrane's situation in Real Madrid is a difficult problem. Since coming to Real Madrid, Coentrane has always had some scandals almost every summer. Last year, Coentrane became a bargaining chip for Real Madrid to acquire Bale, although it was not possible in the end. Moreover, Coentrane's situation has improved this season, but this does not mean that Coentrane will not be put on the shelves this summer.

The two sides have discussed the topic of the two players, and Pepe will renew his contract. Cointran's situation is to be determined.

The reason why it is to be decided is that Ancelotti's prospects for Real Madrid are not clear. This involves another purpose of meeting today.

"I can't give any guarantee." After listening to Sanchez's words, Mendes thought for a long time before he slowly expressed his answer. "You have had so many dealings with him, you should know what kind of person he is. Moreover, I am no longer his agent."

"I need just a possibility." At this time, Florentino on the other side said, "I think it shouldn't be difficult with your relationship with him."

"That's fine." Mendes didn't hesitate when he heard Florentino's words and nodded.

"Then we're waiting for your good news."

...

"Do you think Mendes may succeed?" The talks were over. At this time, on the way back to his residence, Florentino suddenly asked Sanchez next to him while wiping his glasses.

"It's hard to say." Sanchez frowned and then smiled bitterly, "In recent years, our relationship with him has not been good."

Hearing Sanchez's words, Florentino paused for a moment when he wiped his glasses, and then laughed, "It's not a good thing, but I don't think this is a problem, on the contrary, I think this is our advantage."

"Hmm?" Sanchez turned his head and was puzzled.

"First of all, we have to admit that he is a person who values ​​feelings, which can be seen from his return to Manchester City. But he is not the only person who values ​​feelings. Do you think he is more emotional than Mourinho?" Florentino said. "More importantly, you have to admit that he is a very smart businessman. You should have a deep understanding of this, Sanchez."

Sanchez nodded helplessly.

"So, you have to believe that a smart businessman, feelings may be one of the factors that affect the decision, but it is definitely not the main factor. This is the best team in the world, the biggest and best stage in the world, the best players he once was, and the best players he had not had before. Here, he doesn't have to worry about losing his best player. Here, he can become the veritable number one coach in the world. What else do you want for a head coach?"

"Mendes is more worried than him."

Sanchez did not answer this time. He understood Florenti's concerns. No head coach would like to see his team's locker room gangs, but no team's chairman would like to see his rights challenged. Although the outside world's gossip is a bit exaggerated, the truth is there.

However, at present, this matter can only be left to Mendes.

After Florentino and Sanchez left, Mendez did not accompany the two to leave, but continued to stay in the restaurant for an additional half an hour, doing this to avoid the attention of some media.

Mendes, who was sitting at the window, watched the two get into the car. It was not until the car left that an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In recent seasons, Real Madrid has almost regarded Manchester City as its backyard. Although they have been "slaughtered" every time, they are happy every time, and Manchester City is also annoyed. Last summer, because of Bale's transfer, the relationship between the two clubs almost dropped to freezing point. I thought Real Madrid would calm down for a while, but I didn't expect that now, Real Madrid has set their sights on Manchester City again.

And this time, although he is not a player at all, if he succeeds, the sensational effect he causes will not be in the slightest transfer of the past few transfers.

Because, this time, Real Madrid's target is the former Manchester City coach, current Manchester City manager, Lin Sen.

Although it is surprising that Real Madrid will target Lin Sen, in Mendes's opinion, it is actually just reasonable. Not to mention that before Ancelotti, Real Madrid had actually been interested in Lin Sen. At present, although Ancelotti's coach position is in turmoil, there are not many head coaches qualified to replace the Italians. Real Madrid has remained silent about Ancelotti's future so far, which is actually based on this consideration. They have the idea of ​​changing coaches, but they can't take the risk of finding a head coach who is obviously inferior to Ancelotti to replace them.

Therefore, there is a prerequisite for Real Madrid to change coaches, that is, to find a head coach whom they think is better than Ancelotti.

Of course, the so-called "better" is actually a very complex and subjective filtering condition.

At present, looking at the entire European football world, there are only ones that barely meet this condition and have that possibility. In addition to Lin Sen, who is almost perfect in both business and ability, there are two head coaches in Real Madrid. One is German coach Klopp, who has resigned from Dortmund. This season, Dortmund's record in the league is bad and even faces the danger of relegation. Klopp took the initiative to bear all the responsibilities and announced that he will no longer serve as Dortmund coach next season, but this does not mean that Klopp is a failed coach. This German coach who has almost achieved the revival of Dortmund, is still one of the best head coaches in European football. Of course, this season's record has somewhat affected Real Madrid's current judgment of Klopp.

In addition to Klopp, another candidate for Real Madrid is somewhat unexpected, that is, former Real Madrid coach Mourinho, who just led Chelsea to regain the Premier League championship.

Mourinho left Real Madrid, on the surface, because Real Madrid failed to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, but in fact, the madman lost control of Real Madrid's locker room, especially the conflict with Real Madrid's locker room leader, captain Casillas is the main reason. Mourinho, who returned to the Premier League, even said more than once that Real Madrid is still his home team, and his relationship with Real Madrid chairman Florentino and manager Sanchez is still well maintained. So, in other words, the madman left the Bernabeu, is not a crime of war.

Now, when Casillas is very likely to leave Real Madrid next season, it is not so strange that Florentino thinks of Mourinho again.

However, during the call between Florentino and Mourinho a few days ago, Mourinho had clearly declined the other party, but there was no reason. Now he is very good at Chelsea and has no reason to leave.

Why did Mendes know that today's meeting Florentino had no intention. Don't forget that Mendes is also Mourinho's agent. So, when Sanchez proposed Linsen today, although Mendes had thought for a long time, he was not surprised. As for why he did not return to the absolute party, on the one hand, it was because the other party made concessions on Pepe's contract renewal and reciprocated. On the other hand, it was because, if Linsen really had interest in the Real Madrid position, then he needed an agent.
