Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 180—Pepe (below)

    When I got up the next morning, there was still only him and Shania in the big room. Shania also made breakfast like Twain just like yesterday, then sat at the table and watched Twain eat breakfast alone.

    Just finished eating, Twain received a strange call.  Since taking Shania to Spain for a vacation, Twain learned the lesson. Whenever the phone is turned on 24 hours.  He is not a poor fan in China before, and the roaming fee is still out.

    The mobile phone number is completely unfamiliar, and Twain stared at the phone number and turned around for a few laps without thinking about who the number belongs to.

    After the connection, there was an English with a few Latin accents: "Good morning, Twain Mr."  Brazil should be there in the morning? ”

    "Ah, hey, that's right…Morning.  Good morning, Mr., you are…"

    "I am sorry, forgot to introduce myself.  My name is Ruo Mendes and I am Pepe's Agent.  "The voice over there is not awkward."

    When he heard the name, Twain snorted.  If it is said that as a fan Twain, it is not surprising to know the name, but as a manager of a team, I have never heard of this name as an unforgivable mistake.  Although Nottingham Forest FC hadn't dealt with the Portugal player yet, Twain had heard of the person on the phone.

    Almost all of the European Club Manager and CEO's desks have their phone number in the contacts.  Because he is Portugal's largest professional agent and a powerful football agent throughout Europe, he has good relations with people like Chelsea Boss Abramovich. His tentacles extend to every corner of Europe. .

    If the hot Mendes, can be regarded as the godfather of the professional Agent of Portugal, including the famous coaches and players such as Mourinho and Cris Tiano Ronaldo, all of whom are agents.

    This person is the biggest player in the Agent.  The degree of cockroaches is naturally a leader, and you have to be careful.  Twain nodded, and then Mendes, who remembered to call, couldn't see him, and said, "I heard your name, Mendes Mr..  I didn't expect Pepe to be your agent's player.  ”

    There was a hearty laugh over there: "There are not many coaches who have never heard of my name.  I also heard your name, Twain Mr.  Nottingham Forest FC has risen in the last two years as if it were a rocket, and you are probably the youngest team manager in the next season Europe Champion Cup.  Yesterday, you met my player? ”

    "Yes.  I happened to meet, I was on vacation in Brazil, I didn’t expect Pepe to be on vacation in Brazil.  I always thought he was in Portugal…"

    Mendes was a little silent for a while, "Pepe…He had a little trouble at the Portugal side, and I suggested that he return to Brazil to distract himself.  "Listen to his tone of voice, words, as if Pepe is not the current FC Porto Manager Dutchman Adrian's player, but his agent.  His player has trouble.  When you need help, the first person to think of is his agent, not the coach of the team.

    “Twain Mr., what do you think of Pepe?”

    "Great, very good.  It is the type I appreciate.  ”

    "Pepe called me yesterday and told me about your conversation.  He said that you seem to be familiar with him, and he is more familiar with him than Adrien.  ”

    Twain certainly knows that this is all thanks to the memories he passed through in 2007, but he can't tell the truth.  "Mm."This is the case, in fact, I have been paying attention to Pepe since long ago.  ”

    Mendes laughed again: "It’s so smart.  Another person was interested in Pepe long ago, and FC Porto brought him from the Martí to the Dragon Stadium, precisely because of this person's recommendation.  It's a pity that Pepe left before he came.  Do you know who I am talking about? Twain Mr.  ”

    "Of course I know, Mendes Mr..  The person you said is Mourinho, the former FC Porto Manager.  ”

    "Haha, that's right! That was close  Now this Dutchman is not Pepe with good use.  Are you interested in knowing how Pepe told me yesterday, Twain Mr.? ”

    “Sure, it’s culture.  ”

    "He said that the experience of chatting with you yesterday made him very difficult to forget.  When he was at FC Porto, Adrian Seco never talked to him, knew his thoughts, or let him know what the other person thought.  He feels very good…Tell you the truth, Twain Mr.  I think it's a good idea to let Pepe go to a coach who knows him.  Pepe is my player.  No Agent wants his player to sit on the bench.  Slowly depreciate on the cold bench.  He is still young, I think he still has a lot of room for appreciation.  But now FC Porto can't give him the conditions to appreciate.  ”

    Mendes's words have been said enough, and I want to let Pepe go to the Forest team. The only obstacle that lies between them is the trade between FC Porto and the Forest team.

    Twain is very happy with this news.  He is a "coming man" and he knows the story behind Pepe and FC Porto.

    05-06season – the next season – FC Porto Due to poor record, Manager Adrian was forced to make some adjustments to the lineup and changed to a more aggressive 343 formation.  Pepe was able to get the main force – he is the best candidate for the third central defender.  However, after all, it has not happened, even if the Godfather such as Mendes can not predict the future, he did not know adrianse will change the attitude to Pepe, he did not know Pepe future price will rise to the point–twain also do not know in the future Pepe will become the summer of 07 Europe Tran Sfer is the most expensive defender on the market because he crossed before the summer transfer market opened.

    But Twain knows that Pepe is not happy at FC Porto now, FC Porto just positioned him as a substitute for Pedro Emmanuel, George Costa and Ricardo Costa, who is the fourth choice in the Defender position.

    After accidentally encountering Pepe yesterday, Twain simply took the experience of Brazil Defender in his mind for a few years.  Although it is an encounter, the timing is just right.  Twain didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  He is very impressed with Pepe in the game, and Pepe in reality is not weak.  Isn't the Forest team missing a good Defender? Give him the main position, give Thaksin Shinawatra, give him freedom, let him come to the Forest team!

    Pique and Pepe, the two best-in-class Defender in the game, Twain is just excited to think about it.

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

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

    This made Twain clearly aware of how much energy Menes has in Portugal, poor Dutchman Adrian…

    “How do you think the transfer fee for 4 million Euros is?”Asked Mendes.

    FC Porto bought a million a year ago and they earned three million a year later.  The deal should be satisfactory for FC Porto.  But Twain always felt that Mendes was so enthusiastic that he was not in a hurry to answer.

    The other party also knew what Twain was thinking, and smiled: "Well, I said that I have been paying attention to Nottingham Forest FC because your team is blushing too fast.  And I believe that in the future, there will be more and more people paying attention to your team, I am…It’s just a little more predictable than they are.  You know, Twain Mr., acting as an agent, is very important.  ”

    Twain suddenly realized.  Mendes used Pepe to tie him and the Forest team because of the prospects of the Forest team.  This is equivalent to a venture capital investment.  Nowadays, the European Football pattern has been set, the giants are those, the small and medium clubs are also those, nothing changes.  However, the rise of the Forest team has the possibility to break this pattern. Mendes is taking this point and will be so active in contacting Twain.  Don't look at the horror that he just said. In fact, the Football Star big name in his team, what is a Pepe in the district? Pushing the boat to the Forest team to be human, to close the relationship between the two sides, the future of the Transfer market, the Forest team does not need to consult him as an economic man? In this way, the Force team's Transfer is manipulated to make more benefits for himself…

    This kind of thing is really not right or wrong.  Everyone is chasing interests. Twain knows this. Maybe he should be honored? Because Portugal's Agent big name looks at the development potential of the Forest team? However, the principle of Twain is – the fat that is delivered to the door, not to be white.

    As for manipulating the Club? If he has that ability, just try it!

    Twain nodded. "I understand that four million is very reasonable.  Mendes Mr.  As for Pepe's personal conditions, we can talk.  He looked at Shania who was packing his dishes. "I am sorry that I am still on vacation in Brazil. When my vacation is over, I will call you the first time."  ”

    Mendes expressed understanding and consent with laughter.  After mutual greetings, they hung up each other.

    Twain looked at Shania and smiled. "Where are we going to play today, Shania?"

    If Mendes is also crossing, he will not make this move today.  If he knows that Pepe can sell 30 million Euros in two years, I am afraid he will regret what he has done today.

    And if Twain can wear it for two months, he will be very happy for what he has gained today.  Four million for 30 million, he earned it!
