Chapter 158 Deco

When Chang Sheng learned that Porto agreed to his offer, he finally smiled—he had been nervous before, and he was even ready to spend 20 million if he couldn't do it. Unexpectedly, 16 million captured Porto.

Porto must think that he has made a big profit, and he also thinks that Valencia has made a profit.

He knew that Mourinho would definitely not let Deco leave, but this decision was made by the Porto chairman and had nothing to do with the head coach.

Mourinho doesn't want to think about himself, he has control over the transfer rights.

He has no right to interfere with the club's transfer. If the chairman of the club insists on selling Deco, he will certainly have nothing to do.

Of course, Mourinho will definitely be upset.

Chang Sheng can think of it with his knees. With Mourinho's personality, it is inevitable to run to the club president of Porto to make a fuss.

But what does that have to do with me?

I never worry about my opponent.

I even hope that Mourinho and da Costa have a big fight, and then resign in anger.

Porto has no hope of winning the Triple Crown, and it is impossible to win the Champions League in the 2003-2004 season. Naturally, there is no famous coach Mourinho.

It's great that I lost a competitor because of this...

However, things did not develop in the direction Chang Sheng expected.

In fact, Mourinho did run to find Da Costa after hearing the news.

He couldn't accept that the club had sold off the core of his team.

But his arms can't twist his thighs. He is just a head coach, not a "manager" in English football, and has no right to decide on transfers.

He didn't know the news until the two clubs of Porto and Valencia had reached an agreement.

Because Da Costa deliberately concealed this matter from him.

Mourinho almost did what Chang Sheng wished, and it was really wise to resign.

But at the most critical time,

Fate has made a move.

Mourinho suddenly calmed down. He has been drifting for many years. After coming out of Barcelona, ​​he wanted to prove his coaching ability.

Looking at Porto now is the most suitable stage for me.

If he resigned in a fit of anger, where would he go?

Start over in a new place? The ghost knows how long it will take to reach the current height in Porto.

Although Mourinho was called a "madman" in the future. But now his madman temperament is not obvious.

In the face of cruel reality, Mourinho finally bowed his head.

But when he bowed his head, he had already made a decision in his heart.

In the future, we must grasp the transfer power, just like Chang Sheng, no matter which team we go to. And whether it's a local football tradition or not...

He never wants his players to be sold without his knowledge!

When Mendes received a call from Porto. tell him. When the club had sold Deco to the Spanish team Valencia, Mendes was surprised—because as the player's agent, as an agent with a good relationship with the club, he hadn't heard any news before. Said!

"What's going on here, Renato?"

Renato Tres is in charge of Porto's transfer work, so he has a good relationship with his agent. So Mendes often talks on the phone with Renato and keeps in touch, and they call each other very affectionately.

"Well, actually. Jorge, we were surprised ourselves..."

Then Renato Tres introduced the situation to Mendes.

"In short, Valencia offered a price that we couldn't refuse... Chairman Da Costa thought the deal was a good deal, so he agreed... But I think it's a good thing for you, right? , Jorge?"

Mendes smiled: "But I think my players may not be willing to leave Porto."

"Just tell him that he is the player named by the Valencia coach. I wish him good luck in Valencia."

Mendes hung up the phone and didn't call Deco again, but fell into deep thought first.

Valencia's head coach. He is no stranger.

When Valencia bought Carvalho before, the two had dealt with each other, but the relationship was very shallow. Because at that time, it was Llorente of the Valencia club, not Chang Sheng, who was in charge of Carvalho's transfer.

Chang Sheng only came out to meet with Kavallu and Mendes when the players signed.

Mendes wasn't impressed with him at the time. Just be an ordinary coach from the beginning.

Unexpectedly, a year later, that unattractive Chinese has become the champion coach of La Liga.

It seems that this is a potential stock?

With the sense of a professional agent, Mendes is keenly aware that some kind of cooperative relationship may be established between himself and Chang Sheng.

A head coach definitely needs enough good players to support him.

And his subordinates happen to have such resources. The two sides cooperate and join forces. I can help Chang Sheng win more championships. And Changsheng can push his players to the world, allowing himself to earn more commissions.

It's a win-win move...

And buying his own players twice in a row, Mendes can't think about whether Chang Sheng is more optimistic about the quality of his players.

This also laid the foundation for the cooperation between the two in the future.

Thinking of this, Mendes felt that he could get in touch with Changsheng further through the transfer of Deco.

At this time, Mendes has not yet become the all-powerful agent predator, he rose with Mourinho.

Today, he used to be powerful in Portugal, but not in Europe.

He realized that if he wants to go to the next level, Spain, which is a bigger stage than Portugal, should be a good choice.

If you can build a good relationship with Changsheng, you can push your players to the European football world. At that time, European clubs will rush to buy their own players...

Then you will be developed!

Mendes began to have a dream, he decided to make Deco a model project, let the whole of Europe know that the players under Mendes are all capable!

Deco, who was on vacation in Brazil, received a call from his agent Mendes.

Mendes told him he might have to be part of Spanish La Liga champions Valencia from next season onwards.

Deke opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a while, without turning his head around at all.

He himself is living well in Porto, he is very satisfied with his life in Porto, he has never shown any willingness to leave the team, nor has he asked for a salary increase. He is the core of the team. He thought the team couldn't do without him, so why was he suddenly sold?

Mendes also told him: "Valencia wanted you by name, Anderson."

Valencia wanted me by name?

Deco felt even more strange.

He does know Valencia, the champion of La Liga last season and the Copa del Rey. And created a new history of La Liga for seventy years. Undefeated to win the championship.

They were the only team unbeaten in the entire Europa League last season.

Even the Portuguese media were discussing Valencia's unbeaten season.

But how could such a strong team take a fancy to him?

"Don't think too much, Anderson. Take a good vacation in Brazil. I'll help you with the contract. We've cooperated for so many years. Don't you trust me?" Mendes said on the phone.

Deco Machinery nodded: "Of course I believe it..."

"That's fine, you wait to go to a bigger stage, Anderson! You are really lucky, ha!" After finishing speaking, Mendes hung up the phone with a smile.

Blown by the sea breeze. Only then did Deco come back to his senses.

Are you going to La Liga? Go to La Liga, one of the top five European leagues?

To the La Liga champions?

Go to that "Valencia the Great" - Portuguese media slang.

Recalling the embarrassment when he first came to Portugal, Deco couldn't believe it was real, as if he was dreaming.

It was an afternoon in the summer of 1997. Three young people from Brazil appeared at Lisbon Airport, and Deco was one of them.

They joined Benfica from Brazil.

When the three of them walked out of the terminal hall together, his other two companions were immediately surrounded by crowds of reporters, while Deco's side was empty. Afterwards, the two companions boarded a luxury car and headed towards the center of Lisbon. And Deco blamed for sending a very worn-out old Renault car, and his direction was Alvirca, a small town near Lisbon.

He was also surprised and asked his agent where he was going.

"Where are we going? Why don't we ride with Paul and the others?" Deco, who had just arrived in Europe from Brazil, was a little nervous.

"Let's go to an apartment in Alvirka, which will be your home," his agent replied.

"Why not Lisbon?" Deco was taken aback by the answer.

"Because of your future team. Not Benfica, but Alvirka." The agent said impatiently, and ignored Deco.

It wasn't until this moment that Deco knew he had been fooled. When he was in Brazil, the agent clearly said that he would become a member of Benfica. But actually. Benfica did sign him at the time, but Portugal's most prestigious side had no intention of breaking him into their first team. They rented Deco to this second-tier team named Alvirka.

In other words, he was abandoned.

At that time, he felt isolated and helpless, alone in the old apartment of Arvirka, crying constantly. I want to go home, but I don't even have the money for the return ticket.

In the days of Alvirka, Deco dreamed every day that he could wear the Benfica jersey and play in the Stadium of Light.

Unfortunately, this wish has never come true.

Later, he changed his agent and voted under Mendes' account, and then Mendes persuaded the owner of the Salgros Club to take him from Benfica for half a million dollars. After that, Mendes brought Deco to Porto, where he finally made a career.

But there is still a big gap between joining the championship team of the mainstream European league.

I didn't expect to finish it so easily in one summer...

Happiness came so suddenly, Deco became a little panicked.

I was the main player in Porto, can I still play in Valencia? In that team, there is also the famous midfielder Aimar, who happens to be in the same position as himself...
