I Want to Be the King of Football

Su Dong is not very clear about the management of the club, so he can't understand it. After joining for less than half a year, the annual salary is also good. Why should Valencia renew the contract with him anxiously?

Of course, it's not that he can't get along with money, but that he has always maintained a vigilance in his heart.

No one in this world is stupid enough to give money to people for no reason, right?

But after Mendes explained it clearly, Su Dong understood.

To put it bluntly, it was because of Mijatovic back then.

A long time ago, Valencia and Real Madrid were still good friends. The relationship between the two clubs was very friendly. Even in Valencia, half of the fans were also Real Madrid fans.

In 1993, Mijatovic transferred to Valencia. Roig was the chairman of the club at that time, and Mijatovic was also very competitive. He has always been the number one scorer in the Valencia team. In the third season, he scored 28 league goals and helped Valencia get the league runner-up.

But just before the end of that season, then Real Madrid president Sanz sent his deputy to Valencia, had secret contact with Mijatovic, and reached a transfer agreement, because Mijatovic's release clause was only 9 million at the time. EUR.

This has a lot to do with the fact that many professional teams generally did not pay attention to liquidated damages. After all, the Boseman Act was not officially introduced until December 1995. Therefore, in the first half of 1996, all professional teams paid attention to this set of laws. The bill is very unfamiliar, and no one would have expected it to completely upend the transfer market in European football.

Needless to say, even if Valencia fans ran to Mijatovic's residence to protest and demanded that he not betray the club, in the end, Mijatovic accepted Real Madrid's high salary and left in the form of liquidated damages. Valencia, to Real Madrid.

Chairman Roig was extremely angry at the poaching behind Real Madrid President Sanz. Not only did he attack Real Madrid in public many times, but he even had a conflict with Real Madrid fans when he accompanied the team to the Bernabeu for a match, and was beaten up.

Since then, the relationship between Valencia and Real Madrid has completely collapsed.

At the beginning of the century, under the leadership of Cooper, Valencia reached the Champions League final twice. At that time, the number one player in the team was the local midfielder Mendieta. Like Mijatovic, he was favored by Real Madrid. .

But this time, Valencia learned from the previous experience and did not give Real Madrid any chance.

Although the chairman changed from Roig to Otti, Valencia still rejected Real Madrid's poaching. At that time, the chairman Otti said harshly that if Real Madrid wanted to get Mendieta, they could pay Mendieta up to 7,000. million euros in liquidated damages.

But Lazio, who is also interested in Mendieta,

But only need to pay 48 million euros to dig the Spain international.

Not only that, in order to further prevent Real Madrid's poaching, Valencia even added a clause to Mendieta's transfer to Lazio's contract. If Mendieta returns to La Liga within two years, Lazio will need to pay another 1,200 yuan. million euros in liquidated damages.

This is the famous [Anti-Real Madrid Clause].

It can be said that between Real Madrid and Valencia, because of the transfer of Mijatovic, the original friendly relationship has completely turned into an endless rival.

Taking over Valencia again, Roeg is also learning the lessons of Mijatovic.

Especially when he saw that Su Dong not only scored a lot of goals on the court, but his commercial value off the court was also advancing by leaps and bounds. This was very in line with Florentino's business strategy for Real Madrid, so he was secretly anxious in his heart.

What if Su Dong moves to Real Madrid again?

There was a Mijatovic in the first term, which made him lose the hearts and minds of Valencia fans. If a second Mijatovic appeared in the second term, then he would really only be able to make amends.

...

So, both Roig and Subirac told me very, very clearly that they can't accept your move to Real Madrid, and they can't accept any offer from Real Madrid!

When Mendes said this, his eyes were paying attention to Su Dong's expression.

Su Dong's idol is Ronaldo. It would not be surprising if Su Dong said he wanted to go to Real Madrid.

But Su Dong did not.

Not only did he not, but he looked at Mendes calmly and asked, Has Real Madrid been in contact with you?

No. Mendes shook his head, no.

As far as I know, Real Madrid is in a mess now, Queiroz's situation is not very good, and there are so many superstars, we don't need to go in at this time.

Mendes nodded, this is definitely not the right time to go to Real Madrid.

Besides, my situation in Valencia is pretty good now. I went to Real Madrid. What else can they give me besides money? With my amount, in front of a superstar, how convincing is it? Why talk to Ronaldo and Laurie? Are you going to compete for the main position?

For this, Su Dong himself still sees it very clearly.

Thanks to years of domestic education, this has made him a very pragmatic person. There is no so-called idol complex. He only wants to make choices that are beneficial to him.

Mendes was a little surprised by this. Originally, he planned to convince Su Dong well.

This time, the contract proposed by Subirac is good. The term has basically remained unchanged, and the liquidated damages have not changed, but an anti-Real Madrid clause has been added to it, and the annual salary has been increased by half. Mendes laughed.

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with this contract extension.

According to the usual practice, if the contract renewal is successful, Su Dong can also get a signing fee of several hundred thousand euros. As an agent, he takes a lot of commissions from this contract treatment.

What do you think? Su Dong asked.

Mendes raised his brows. It's better to sign at this time. If they don't sign, they won't worry.

Su Dong felt dumbfounded. When did people rush to send money over, and he didn't accept it, he even offended others?

Alright, just support my parents to buy a house in China! Su Dong was not hypocritical.

In fact, the money he earned was basically sent back to China, which was considered a contribution to the increase of foreign exchange reserves for the motherland.

The parents who are in the country are, as always, unswervingly continuing their big business of buying a house.

Sometimes Su Dong really can't understand, is their obsession with buying a house really so strong?

...

In addition to Valencia's contract extension, Mendes also mentioned one other thing.

He wants to set up a team for Su Dong and pack it specifically for him.

Beckham, Owen, Ronaldo, even Zidane and Raul have such teams behind them to provide services, such as Atletico's Torres, who is also preparing to change agents, just want to Build a team like this.

You know, [GQ] has the sharpest sense of smell. Long before the magazine came out, many companies had contacted me, and they were all very interested in you, but I temporarily stabilized them and didn't go deep into it. Negotiate.

Why? Su Dong was curious.

This is not the style of Mendes.

Portuguese brokers are still very keen on making money.

Mendes noticed Su Dong's playful eyes, but he didn't care, instead, he was a little complacent.

Isn't that what he is most proud of as an agent to make money for his employer?

The few sponsorship contracts we have signed so far are good, but gradually, I also began to notice the problem, for example, the same clothing brand, Armani and Hugo Boss are interested in you, then the problem comes, If we choose one of the two, we will suffer.”

what do you mean……

Mendes nodded shrewdly and smiled, Subdivision, just like Manchester United, they not only rank sponsors, but also divide industries, and even divide regions. Some sponsors are only sponsors in Africa or the Middle East.

The benefits of this are obvious, but to build such a system, it is impossible to achieve with our current manpower alone, so we need more mature and experienced traders to plan.

Su Dong understood what Mendes meant. It was as if he was wearing a Reebok jersey when he was playing for Sporting Lisbon, but he was wearing Nike shoes.

At the beginning, Nike supported Valencia to sign him, and a very important reason was also to hope that Su Dong would wear their jersey.

Go ahead and do this, I believe in you! Su Dong nodded.

Mendes immediately assured that he would find the best packaging master to operate the golden brand of Sudong.

In fact, if Su Dong is really put into operation, other players under Mendes will also follow suit. After all, resources will overflow. Su Dong rushes ahead to eat meat, and naturally some people will follow behind. Bone, and then someone will drink soup.

The day after Valencia arrived in Milan, the team went to the San Siro to challenge Inter Milan.

The Nerazzurri went through a coaching change, and after Cooper was dismissed, Zaccheroni took over.

As the saying goes, changing coaches is like changing knives. After Zaccheroni took office, he made a significant adjustment to Inter Milan's tactical style of play. He changed the conservative style of play in the Cooper period, resolutely adopted the three-back tactic, and held the banner of offensive football. .

One of the most famous is the just-concluded Serie A, where Inter Milan beat Reggina 6-0 at home. In addition to the 3-0 home victory over Ancona in the previous round, Inter Milan scored nine goals in the last two rounds. Zero goals.

For a time, the entire Italian media was shocked by Zaccheroni's coaching change, especially the previous anti-Cooper media, which was extremely high-profile, posing an afterthought.

We've said it for a long time, Inter is all about attacking football!

Look at Zaccheroni's Inter Milan, the defense is firm, and the attacking firepower has skyrocketed countless times compared to Cooper's time!

Affected by this wave, before this Champions League match, all the media and fans were looking forward to a big victory, hoping that Inter Milan could rout Valencia at home, and the shame of a complete defeat away in the first round of the group match.

Even Inter Milan coach Zaccheroni said that he is confident in the home game and believes that he can win Valencia.

We believe in winning and winning games beautifully!
