Chapter 332 Volume [-] Red Forest Pepe

When he woke up the next morning, he and Shania were still the only ones in the big room. Shania had already prepared breakfast as yesterday before waking Tang En up. Then she sat at the dining table and watched Tang En eat alone. breakfast.

Just after eating, Tang En received a call from a stranger.Since that time when he took Shania to Spain for vacation, Tang En has learned his lesson. No matter what time of day, the mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day.He is no longer the poor football fan he used to be in China, and the roaming fee is still affordable.

The mobile phone number was completely unfamiliar. Tang En stared at the phone number and turned his mind for a few times without remembering who this number belonged to.

After connecting, there was an English voice with some Latin accents: "Good morning, Mr. Tang En. It should be morning in Brazil, right?"

"Ah, er, that's right...morning. Good morning, sir, are you..."

"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jorge Mendes, and I'm Pepe's agent." The voice over there said in a calm manner.

When Tang En heard this name, he froze for a moment.As a fan, Twain would not be surprised if he didn't recognize this name, but as the head coach of a team, it would be an unforgivable mistake not to have heard of this name.Although Nottingham Forest hadn't dealt with Portuguese players much, Twain had heard of the person on the other end of the phone.

The phone number of this person will be on the desk of the head coach and general manager of almost all European giants clubs, and in the business card folder.Because he is the largest professional agent in Portugal and a football agent with strong influence throughout Europe. He maintains a good relationship with people such as Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, and his tentacles reach every corner of Europe. a corner.

Jorge Mendes can be regarded as the godfather of professional agents in Portugal, including famous coaches and players such as Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo, all represented by him.

This person is a big name among brokers, and he is naturally one of the best in cunning, so he has to be handled with care.Tang En nodded, and then remembered that Mendes who was on the phone couldn't see his action, so he said: "I've heard of your name, Mr. Mendes. I didn't expect Pepe to be represented by you player."

There was a burst of hearty laughter: "I'm afraid there are not many coaches who have never heard my name. I have also heard your name, Mr. Tang En. Nottingham Forest's rise in the past two years seems to be on a rocket. I'm afraid you He is the youngest head coach to lead the team in the UEFA Champions League next season. Did you meet my players yesterday?"

"Well, I came across it by chance. I was on vacation in Brazil. I didn't expect Pepe to be on vacation in Brazil too. I always thought he was in Portugal..."

Mendes was silent for a while, "Pepe...he has encountered a little trouble in Portugal, I suggest that he go back to Brazil to relax." Listening to his tone and words, it seems that Pepe is not the incumbent. The players of Porto's head coach, the Dutchman Adrianse, are instead his agent's subordinates.When his players are in trouble and need help, the first person who thinks of him is his agent, not the coach of the team he plays for.

"Mr. Tang En, what do you think of Pepe?"

"Very good, very good. It's the type I admire."

"Pepe called yesterday and told me all your conversations. He said that you seem to be familiar with him, even more familiar with him than Adrian Sedu."

Of course Dunn knew that it was all due to the memory he had traveled over in 2007, but he couldn't tell the truth. "Well... that's right. In fact, I have been paying attention to Pepe since a long time ago."

Mendes laughed again: "What a coincidence, there is another person who was interested in Pepe a long time ago. Porto brought him from Maltimer to the Dragon Stadium precisely because of this person's strong recommendation. What a pity , before Pepe came, he left. Do you know who I'm talking about? Mr. Dunn."

"Of course I know, Mr. Mendes. The man you're talking about is Mourinho, the former Porto coach."

"Haha, that's right! It's a pity that this Dutchman can't use Pepe well now. Are you interested in knowing what Pepe told me yesterday, Mr. Tang En?"

"of course."

"He said that the experience of chatting with you yesterday was very unforgettable for him. When he was in Porto, Adrience could never talk to him like this, understand his thoughts, or let him understand the other party's thoughts. He felt very Not bad... Let me tell you the truth, Mr. Tang En. I think it's a good idea to let Pepe play under a coach who knows him well. Pepe is my player, and no agent wants his players to sit on the bench. Slowly depreciating on the bench. He is still young, I think he still has a lot of room for appreciation, but the current Porto cannot create conditions for him to appreciate."

Mendes' words are clear enough, and he intends to let Pepe go to the Forest team. Now the only obstacle between them is the deal between Porto and the Forest team.

Tang En was very happy with the news.He is an "expert", he knows the story behind Pepe and Porto.

In the 05-06 season—that is, the next season—Porto's poor record, the head coach Adrian Se was under the pressure of performance, and made some adjustments to the lineup, changing to a more aggressive 343 formation.Pepe was able to play the main force - he is the best candidate for the third central defender.But after all, that is something that hasn't happened yet. Even the godfather Mendes can't predict the future. He doesn't know that Adriance will change his attitude towards Pepe, and he doesn't know how much Pepe's value will rise in the future— — Tang En also didn't know that Pepe would become the most expensive defender in the European transfer market in the summer of 07, because he passed through before the summer transfer market opened.

But Twain knew that Pepe was not happy in Porto now, and Porto only positioned him as a substitute for Pedro Emmanuel, George Costa and Ricardo Costa. He's the fourth option at the position.

After meeting Pepe by chance yesterday, Twain briefly ran through the experience of the Brazilian defender in the past few years.Although it was a chance encounter, the timing was just right.Tang En didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.He was impressed by how strong Pepe was in the game, and Pepe in reality was not weak at all.Isn't the Forest team short of good central defenders?Give him the main position, give him trust, give him freedom, let him come to the forest team!

Piqué and Pepe, the two central defenders with the best physical fitness in the game, such a combination, Tang En felt excited just thinking about it.

"Mr. Mendes, I think Nottingham Forest can create this condition for your players. But I am worried about Porto..."

"You don't have to worry about that, Mr. Twain. Since the player is willing, you are willing, and I am willing, we can now talk about Pepe's transfer fee and personal treatment."

These words made Tang En clearly realize how powerful Mendes is in Portugal. Poor Dutchman Adrianse...

"What do you think of the transfer fee of 400 million euros?" Mendes asked.

Porto spent 100 million when they bought it a year ago, and they made 300 million a year later.This deal should be satisfactory for Porto.But Tang En always felt that there was something wrong with Mendes being so enthusiastic, so he didn't rush to answer.

The other party also knew what Tang En was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Well, I just said that I have been following Nottingham Forest all the time, because your team has become popular too quickly. And I believe that in the future, I will follow your team. There will be more and more people, and I... just have a little more foresight than them. You know, Mr. Tang En, as a manager, vision is very important."

Tang En suddenly realized.Mendes used Pepe to come to him and build a relationship with the Forest team because he was optimistic about the prospects of the Forest team.This is tantamount to a venture capital investment.Now the structure of European football has been fixed, the giants are those, and the small and medium clubs are also those, nothing has changed.However, the rise of the Forest team has the possibility of breaking this pattern. It was precisely because of this that Mendes took the initiative to contact Tang En.Don't look at the hype he said just now, in fact, he has a lot of stars and big names under him, what is a mere Pepe?Go along with the flow and give the forest team a favor, and bring the relationship between the two sides closer. Doesn't the forest team need to consult more with him, the economic man, about his future moves in the transfer market?In this way, he manipulated the transfer of the Forest team to gain more benefits for himself...

This kind of thing is really hard to say right or wrong.Everyone is chasing profit, Tang En knows this, maybe he should feel honored?Because the big names in Portugal's agents are interested in the development potential of the Forest team?But Tang En's principle is - don't want the fat meat delivered to your door for nothing.

As for manipulating the club?If he has that ability, come and try it!

Tang En nodded: "I see, 400 million is very reasonable. Mr. Mendes. As for Pepe's personal conditions, we can discuss them in person." He looked at Shania who was packing up the tableware, "I'm sorry that I still have to I am on vacation in Brazil, and when my vacation is over, I will definitely call you as soon as possible."

Mendez laughed in understanding and agreement.After exchanging greetings, they hung up on each other.

Tang En looked at Shania and said with a smile: "Where are we going to play today, Shania?"

※ ※ ※

If Mendes also came from time travel, he would definitely not do what he did today.If he knows that in two years, Pepe can be sold for 3000 million euros, I am afraid he will regret everything he has done today.

And if Tang En can wear it two months later, he will be extremely happy for what he has gained today. 400 million for 3000 million, he made a fortune!
