Beast King Costa

Chapter 54
"Diego, you have changed a lot during this time."

It was Jorge who first broke the silence that lasted 3 minutes.

In Jorge's deep eyes, it seems that a high-frequency computer is hidden, constantly refreshing Diego's various evaluations in his mind.

"Perhaps, Coach Ferreira let you go to the B team to hone for half a month, which is a good thing for you! You are much less hostile than when I first saw you play in Brazil, more A little bit more self-confidence, a little bit more self-cultivation, and most importantly, the fighting spirit on the court is even stronger than in Brazil!"

Speaking of this, Jorge said with emotion: "Indomitable fighting spirit! This is why I asked your uncle to sign you, there is no one!"

"Mr. Jorge..."

Just when Diego was about to ask Jorge why he was able to find Diego da Silva Costa's uncle in the huge state of Rio de Janeiro, sign himself and transfer to Portugal, Jorge suddenly hesitated. He waved his hand and interrupted Diego's words.

"Oh no! Diego, don't call me Jorge, such a title is too old..."

After all, Jorge unbuttoned the top button of his shirt with a friendly smile on his face, making himself look more casual and relaxed: "Call me Mendez from now on. This will make you look more friendly."

"Men...Mendez!!! You are...Mendez!!!"

Suddenly, Diego's whole mind felt as if it had been blasted by an atomic bomb. It was an indescribable shock!
Football predators!

Jorge Mendes!

The super agent who overshadows the sky in world football!
Although Diego didn't know that Diego da Silva Costa's agent was the football predator, it was impossible for Diego not to know the existence of Jorge Mendes.

This name can be called the Buffett of European football!
In the 2001-2002 season, Lisbon native Jorge Mendes transferred Ugo Viana, a 19-year-old potential youngster from his hometown team Sporting Lisbon, to the Premier League team Newcastle United for a high transfer fee of 1200 million euros.

This transfer is not only the first international transfer transaction of the football tycoon, but also makes Jorge Mendes determined to continue to tap the "gold dollar market" of the Premier League.

In the 2003-2004 season, with the help of Porto winning the Champions League as a dark horse, Jorge Mendes sent multiple Porto players and Jose Mourinho, the most popular defensive counterattack master in European football at that time, to Stamford Bridge. While earning the largest income ever for Porto, he also completed the first burst of his career.

In the summer of 2009, Jorge Mendes transferred Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid with the highest transfer fee of 8000 million pounds at the time.

This transfer was a sensation all over the world at the time.

Later, during his time at Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo won four Champions League titles for the Bernabéu Stadium. During his 9 years of playing for Real Madrid, he transformed from a former "bike boy" to a world football player. The emperor superstar who does his part!

The transfers that shocked the industry time after time laid the foundation for Jorge Mendes to become the number one agent in European football.

As a super agent in the world of football, Mendes' cooperation with his signed players, coaches, and clubs can be called a "three-party win-win" cooperation model!

Jorge Mendes will never instigate the transfer of his stars to obtain high salaries, but pursues the value enhancement of both players and clubs - Jorge Mendes has operated many famous stars to wealthy teams, While assisting big clubs to create greater glories, they also help the stars create higher commercial value, and they also benefit from this operation process.

The players under Jorge Mendes only need to concentrate on the competitive level and do not need to be distracted to think about any commercial matters.

and so!
I am actually a member of Jorge Mendes' "big family". Doesn't that mean that I don't need to worry about contract renewals, transfers, business activities, personal brands... in the future?

(PS: Mendes has a very good relationship with his players and has always used "my family" to describe his relationship with his players in public.)
"It seems that you know me better than your uncle?"

Jorge Mendes was also a little surprised by Diego's reaction after hearing "Mendes".

Although they are both from the Portuguese-speaking community, Brazil's player transfer market is more divided up by those "second-rate dealers" who only have money in their eyes.

In order to prevent big players like Jorge Mendes from carve-up of the "scratch lottery" market, the "secondary dealers" tried every means to prevent the Gestifute International brokerage company under Jorge Mendes from doing business in Brazil. Promotion.

This directly led to the fact that the name of Jorge Mendes has no influence in Brazil. Except for the players who have been in the Brazilian league and know the existence of this football predator, the players in the low-level leagues and ordinary Brazilians are absolutely Most have never even heard of the famous name "Mendez".

"what……"

Of course, Diego couldn’t tell the other party, “I’ve heard stories about you and Ronaldo a lot in later generations.” Diego nodded and found an excuse to prevaricate: “Mr. Mendes! I’m from my teammates. I heard your name from Mateus!"

"Oh, you said Mateus!"

Jorge Mendes suddenly nodded and said: "This guy is pretty good at playing football. He is very spiritual in breaking through from the side, but his effect is a bit single. If he has a stronger finishing ability in front of the goal, then I don't mind putting him in front of the goal." He snatched it from Pizzi. Last summer, Pizzi's operation of his players really delayed the prospects of many players."

"You know Mateus?"

"Of course I know! Ten years ago, I have been investigating potential players in the Portuguese League and the Youth League. Mateus, my scouting team has been following and investigating for almost three seasons."

Professional, really professional!
Diego felt quite emotional in his heart: he really deserves to be a predator who has made Buffett a legend in the football world, and he even patiently kept track of a player who is not often named in the Portuguese League.

Most importantly, stay professional while still being discerning!

Diego, who is keen to watch the Chinese football league in later generations, knows very well that before Mateus went to China to play, he played very well in the Ukrainian league, and even attracted the top five leagues to throw olive branches to him. .

"Now that you already know me from the other players, I won't waste too much time introducing myself..."

Jorge Mendes looked at the Rolex on his left wrist: "I have to go back to Lisbon for a meeting later, so I can't stay here for too long. I will come to see you next time I have time Players, now let's talk about business."

Diego nodded and said, "Mr. Mendes, it's okay for you to speak up."

"It's like this. I need to find a better development platform for you, so I want to talk to you in advance about whether to stay next season."

“Go and leave questions???”

Diego couldn't help frowning: "I think it's good to play in Braga. Besides, it's been less than a month since I moved to Braga. I don't want to leave here so soon."

"I understand you don't want to leave here so soon, but the problem is..."

Jorge Mendes said with a slightly heavier tone: "Braga has suffered a financial deficit this season. After the end of the season, they need to sell their main players to raise funds to solve their financial problems!"

(PS: This means that Diego has only spent half the season in Braga! As for Diego’s future new clubs, which teams do the bosses like, you might as well bring it up for Lao Mouzi’s reference o(∩_∩)o ）
