Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 61 Jorge Mendes
What he saw in front of him turned out to be Jorge Mendes, another broker who was as famous as Jose Odin.

Hearing him call out his name, Zheng Long was a little surprised.

It seems that the other party came prepared.

Zheng Long stretched out his hand to shake each other's hands. "certainly!"

In a coffee shop not far away, Mendes put a cup of coffee in front of Zheng Long.

he said confidently. "Long, I know you don't have an agent yet. I think you have great potential. In the next few years, you will be eligible to enter a wealthy club as the main goalkeeper. I want to be your agent!"

Zheng Long held the very warm coffee and looked at him.Asked: "A lot of people want to be my agent during this time. What I want to know is, why should I ask you to be my agent?"

Mendes delayed looking for Zheng Long until now because he had heard about Zheng Long and Odin. In order to win Zheng Long, he had done enough homework.

He took out a schedule from his briefcase and put it on the table.

"Long, this is the plan I made for you. It includes your career plan, and of course, the salary you may get in the future after you ask me to be your agent! You can take a look and you will understand Why, why can I become your manager!"

Hearing the other party's confident words, Zheng Long couldn't help but pick up the planner and read it.

Zheng Long was attracted by this schedule at first glance!
The first page of Mendes' plan wasn't about himself, it was about the team.

His plan is to use his fame to help Zaragoza introduce Chinese brand sponsors.

Then use the team's sponsorship fee to require the team to introduce capable players to improve the team's strength and strive for No.1 in the Second Division.

After Zheng Long finished reading the first three pages of the plan, he didn't read any further.

He looked at Mendez.

"The plan is good, but how can you guarantee that you will be able to attract the Huaxia brand, and the team will definitely use this money to introduce players?"

Hearing Zheng Long asked a key point, Mendes was very happy.

"Long, you underestimate your current influence! According to my understanding, your performance this season has attracted the attention of many Chinese-funded enterprises. They all intend to sponsor the team's chest advertisement. But... "

"But what?" Zheng Long asked.

"But what they worry about is that you will move to another team next season. When they sponsor the team, you will leave immediately. Their investment is in vain! If you can promise to stay again In one season, I believe that many companies will pay to sponsor Zaragoza! As for whether the team will use the money to buy other teams, there is no need to worry about it. Not to mention that the team knows that they will be promoted In addition to the fact that they will earn more in La Liga, we can completely stipulate it in the contract. Although it is not ruled out that the team will cheat, as long as half of the money is invested in the introduction of players, it will be considered a success!"

Hearing what Jorge Mendes said, Zheng Long understood the concerns of those Chinese-funded enterprises.

Also, those Chinese-funded companies will invest in sponsoring teams, not because they like football so much.

I just want to use this opportunity to get more attention for my brand.In addition to Huaxia fans, there is also the expansion of Spanish brand awareness.

"Do you think I should stay in Zaragoza next season too?"

"There are advantages and disadvantages! If there are giants willing to introduce you, of course, the premise is that if the giants that are willing to give you the main goalkeeper position are willing to introduce you, I will of course suggest that you do not hesitate to apply for a transfer decisively. However, if it is not a giant If you don't give the main position, my personal suggestion, of course, this is just my personal suggestion. You might as well stay in Zaragoza!"

"why?"

"It's very simple! If it is a wealthy family, it has a certain reputation and influence all over the world. If you go, you can quickly increase your popularity and expand your influence to the world. Those wealthy families can also use your status , to expand Huaxia's popularity and attract more fans' attention. The sponsors behind the giants will also get greater rewards. This is a three-win situation, and there is no reason to refuse!

But if it’s not a giant, in fact, if you go to other clubs, you might as well stay in Zaragoza.The team will regard you as the core and do their best to help you and build you.Fans will also regard you as a hero and praise you!Even the whole city will sing its praises.This is in other clubs, it is difficult to obtain resources in a short period of time.This is very useful for building your personal brand value! "

Zheng Long looked at the schedule on the table.

"If I went to a big club, what would you do with it. I mean, where would you take it with me?"

"Barcelona have just changed a goalkeeper and they are doing well. They may not be interested in buying other goalkeepers for a short time. Real Madrid and Cassie are not happy. But their first choice is De Gea. Real Madrid has a bad habit, even No matter how suitable you are, no matter how good your performance is. If De Gea decides to come, they will abandon you without hesitation. Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper performance has always been stable, and they will not change goalkeepers easily.

To be honest, La Liga is not suitable for your future plans, unless you are willing to continue working hard in small clubs.Otherwise, I would suggest to leave La Liga and try other leagues.

"Where?" Zheng Long asked curiously.

"The Premier League, Ligue [-], and Serie A are fine. Paris Saint-Germain, the hottest player in Ligue [-], is a little dissatisfied with their goalkeeper. They intend to change to a better one.

If you can go to Paris, I believe it is a good choice.They also want to expand the popularity of the team through you.

In the Premier League, there are more choices.Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal are all dissatisfied with the goalkeeper. If there is a better choice, they will replace it without hesitation!

Of course, you can also consider Inter Milan in Serie A.I heard that there is a Chinese capital that wants to buy Inter Milan, but there is no news about which one, but whether it is true or not, Inter Milan is also a wealthy family, and it is a good choice to join! "

Jorges Mendes had done enough homework before he came, and he immediately analyzed Zheng Long's possible next move.

"So do you think I have a chance to go to these clubs next season?"

"Yes. But to be honest, if you don't perform well, you may lose your chance to play for a giant in three to five years!"

"Why? Do you think I can't gain a foothold in a wealthy family? Or do you question my strength?"

"No! If your strength is not enough, I will not come at all. I only come because I agree with your strength!"

"Why then?"

"It's a question of style. Long, you are very good. At least your current ability is fully capable of gaining a foothold in La Liga. But the Premier League is a different style of game. Where many teams have relatively simple tactics, that is, long-distance rushing Long hanging.

Wherever the goalkeeper goes, the first thing to do is to learn how to defend against high-altitude balls!Just like when De Gea first came to the Premier League, he was also a shortcoming in defense against high-altitude balls, and he often made mistakes.

That is to say, in the past few years, he has increased his muscles, and then made up for his shortcomings in defending against high-altitude balls. Only then has he completely secured Manchester United's starting goalkeeper position.

I have studied your game carefully, your reaction is quick, but the timing of the attack and the ability to defend against high-altitude balls.

To be honest, not much better than De Gea.I'm afraid that wherever you go, you won't be able to adapt.You are different from De Gea.You are from Huaxia, and you have never stopped questioning Chinese players.

If you don't perform well in the first year, those discussions will completely drown you.And other giants will not give you another chance.At least I won't give you another chance for a short time!
So if you go to the Premier League, my personal suggestion is that you'd better think carefully, it's best to hone in La Liga for a season, and it's not too late to go to the Premier League!In this way, even if you fail to go to the Premier League, you can still get out! "

Zheng Long understood what Jorge Mendes meant.

"You mean, I'd better prove myself in La Liga. In this way, it will be easier for the giants to value me. At the same time, even if I can't stay in the giants, I can still find a home in La Liga and win another chance!"

"Hmm! Of course it's my personal suggestion. What do you think?" Jorge Mendes asked.

"I need to think about it!"

"Of course! This is a matter of your career, so you must be cautious. However, Long. I am different from those managers who treat players as vampires. I am not only able to help players get higher salaries. I will also make the best choice for the player's career planning. I really think about the players!"

Every agent says this, as for whether it is true or not, you will only know when you become my agent!
"I understand!"

Jorge Mendes left the schedule behind and drove away.

Zheng Long went back with the schedule.

In the evening, after taking a shower, I sat on the sofa and looked at the planner on the table.

Zheng Long fell into deep thought.

Do you want to hire Jorge Mendes as your agent?

Although I don't have a deep understanding of him, I have heard some comments about him.

Asking him to be your manager is a double-edged sword!
