i want to be king

Chapter 27 is finally finished!
Su Dong asked himself, in the past period of time, he met many people from the team, and they all tried their best to persuade him to join their team, and naturally they would inevitably say some unfavorable words about their competitors.

But like Mourinho, as soon as he sat down, he directly told Su Dong not to join a certain team. This is unprecedented, and only Mourinho has done this.

However, he seems to be doing it very righteously.

Why?

Is it just because he was kicked out of the team by the new chairman of Benfica?

If so, then it would be a bit too vengeful.

Seeing Su Dong's expression of not knowing how to respond, Mendes smiled wryly in his heart, coughed twice, and reminded with a wry smile: "Jose, we are still within the scope of the Stadium of Light."

"I always say that everywhere." Mourinho, on the other hand, acted like he was walking around the world with reason. "Except for those high-level executives whose brains have been kicked by donkeys, who can't see the problems in Benfica?"

Now Su Dong could hear some clues.

Mourinho is indeed resentful, but Benfica itself does have problems.

"Look at the young players that Benfica's first team has cultivated in the past few years?" Mourinho first asked Su Dong, and then turned to Mendes, "Jorge, you know the situation, how many names can you name?"

Mendes looked at Su Dong, feeling a little embarrassed.

"When they invited Heynckes, they originally had high hopes, but they didn't give much support from the beginning to the end. They even shirked the sale of João Pinto to the rival Sporting Lisbon during the European Cup to Heynckes. This caused the German coach to lose the support of Benfica fans."

"When they first contacted me, I proposed a complete set of ideas for a younger team. They made it clear that they had no money to invest in the transfer. The famous coach Oliveira also rejected their invitation. The plan I proposed did not require much investment. But what happened? After I defeated Sporting Lisbon [-]-[-], the new chairman informed me that I was not in his plan."

When Mourinho talked about his grievances with Benfica, he obviously still has deep grievances.

Of course, whoever it is, will definitely feel dissatisfied when encountering such a thing like him.

"The new chairman, the star coach, they were placed on stage with high hopes, but what happened?"

Mourinho curled his lips and shook his head, "One year later, Benfica's results are still half-dead, and they claim to vigorously promote youth players, but how many young players are there in the first team?"

"Simão spent an eight-figure price transfer and bought it from Barcelona. He came out of the youth training of Sporting Lisbon. The midfielder Thiago came from Braga. Maniche did come out of the youth training. But before playing for the first team, he spent three years in Arvica, helping the team upgrade from the Portuguese League to the Portuguese Super League."

When he said this, Mourinho turned his head and looked directly at Su Dong.

"Su, don't listen to what those people in Benfica say, but look at what they have done in the past few years. In fact, they have no ability to cultivate young players, nor do they have the soil to cultivate young players."

"Nowadays, for Benfica, the most important thing is the results, how to help the team return to the first group as soon as possible, keeping pace with Porto and Sporting Lisbon. As for the training of young players, it is just a rhetoric to please the fans because they have no money to invest in the transfer market."

Mourinho's words were like a knife, cutting through the layers of cover on Benfica's outer skin.

"On the contrary, it is like our Leiria team. Although it is a small team, you can look at our first team. We don't have enough financial resources to introduce those capable players, so we have a complete set of training systems for young players."

"For example, the Brazilian striker Dellei came to Leiria at the age of 24. Before that, he couldn't even play in Brazil. We signed him for only 15 euros. But after coming to the team, he scored [-] goals in the first season and [-] goals in the last season. So far this season, the season has not passed halfway, but the number of goals has reached double digits."

Delle is indeed the most surprising scorer in the Portuguese Super League this season, and his offensive firepower even exceeds that of Porto's striker Wang Pena.

More importantly, what Mourinho said is right, Dellei was indeed trained by Leiria, or in other words, a striker who shined in the hands of Mourinho.

…………

…………

Mourinho did not sit in the cafe for long as he was returning to Leiria with the team.

Watching him leave, Mendes and Jorge Manuel felt a faint sense of relief.

"He is like a sharp sword that can pierce through everything and say things that others dare not say or are unwilling to say. He may seem impulsive, but in fact he is thoughtful and logical. Maybe even our reaction has not escaped his prediction."

Mendes looked worried, and Su Dong was directly instigated by Mourinho.

From the moment he sits down, this guy completely controls the pace and content of the conversation.

He started from bombarding Benfica, uncovered the details of Benfica layer by layer, and then threw out the option of Leiria. The whole process, let alone Sudong, even Mendes and Manuel had a hard time talking.

As Mendes said, there are some things that no one would say so bluntly, but Mourinho said it.

Some words are too straightforward, and it is easy to make people feel disgusted, but Mourinho said it, and Su Dong didn't feel disgusted.

This should also be considered a skill.

"What do you think?" Mendes looked at Su Dong with concern.

Su Dong frowned slightly, "If it weren't for the scandal between him and Porto, I might believe it."

Mendes and Manuel looked at each other and laughed in unison.

After getting in touch with him for a period of time, they found that apart from his weak strength, Su Dong was quite a satisfactory player in terms of how he treated others and his personality. He not only trained hard and disciplined himself, but was also very rational.

Many professional players are often easily lost, lacking a clear understanding of themselves, and lack of understanding and analysis of the outside world.

But Su Dong obviously doesn't have it, which is a very rare quality.

"If Machado's coaching performance does not improve, Porto will change coaches during the winter break." Mendes said with certainty.

As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, if Mourinho leaves the team and Su Dong joins Leiria at this time, the final result will definitely be full of variables.

Recruiting Sudong is definitely not Mourinho's idea alone, but if he leaves and changes to a head coach, then Sudong will face more unknowns. This is definitely not a wise choice.

Of course, if the team didn't favor him earlier, Su Dong would have accepted it, but now it's different.

"Take your time, don't worry, there are still two months, you just need to concentrate on playing football, and leave the other things to me."

…………

…………

Mendes' promise was not empty-handed, because he quickly let Su Dong see his ability.

Hugo Viana, one of Mendes' earliest signings from Sporting Lisbon, was called up to the first-team in early October and later came off the bench, performing well and being hailed as Rui Costa II.

More importantly, after entering November, Hugo Viana jumped to the main midfield of Sporting Lisbon's first team.

You know, as a young player, Ugo Viana's competitors are the 28-year-old Ricardo Sa Pinto and the 29-year-old international Joao Pinto, both of whom are famous Portuguese players.

Of course, this was not caused by Mendes alone, but because Sporting Lisbon coach Boloni changed to a double striker.

After the change, Ugo Viana appeared more in the two positions of the trailing midfielder and the left avant-garde, which made the left-footed Viana start to emerge in Sporting Lisbon, and there was a faint momentum to keep pace with Quaresma.

Perhaps stimulated by Hugo Viana's entry into the first team, Ronnie finally sent a fax to José Vega during the national team match day in November, during the suspension of the league, and officially signed him under Jorge Mendes.

In order to sign Ronnie, Mendes not only flew to Madeira Islands, visited Ronnie's parents, but also invited Ronnie's mother to Lisbon.

After signing Ronnie, Mendes immediately approached Sporting Lisbon's technical director Aurelio Pereira.

……

"I can make a promise. Ronnie can follow the first team to participate in the training camp during the winter break. He will play in the first team in the second half of this year, but you also know that the current team is performing well, and we can't promise more."

Sporting Lisbon is quite hopeful to win the championship this season, especially after activating Jardl's offensive firepower.

In this case, Boloni's coaching position is very stable, and the team will definitely do its best to maintain stability in the future. It is impossible to give too many opportunities to young players, especially like Ronnie.

For this, Mendes also understands, after all, the situation is indeed such a situation.

"We understand the team's situation, but the contract must be changed." Mendes expressed his attitude.

"The monthly salary of [-] euros, bonuses, etc. can be increased accordingly. This has even surpassed many players in the first team. It should be enough to show our sincerity." Aurelio obviously does not intend to continue to delay the matter.

Mendes is also pleased with the result.

"Don't talk about Ronnie, Jorge." Aurelio Pereira left the desk, walked to Mendes' side, and put the shoulders of the young Portuguese agent affectionately, "Tell me about your new player."

…………

…………

While Mendes and Aurelio were chatting in Alcochetti, the protagonist Su Dong was in the indoor football field of the Edward VII Park Stadium, beaming with joy.

He had just completed a duel with Ronnie, and then checked the personal attribute panel in the system as usual.

He's finally done.
