Chapter 375 370.354.349.348.346.8.25
After Clemens and Kaka returned to the team, they began to prepare for the next game.
This is the case with the giants. They don’t have a lot of time for themselves. Whether it’s in the league or in the cup, the first thing the players have to do is to go all out, and Mourinho still won’t announce it until the last minute. The coach of the starting list is forcing both the main players and the substitute players to participate in training with 100% enthusiasm.
Clemens is the only one in the team who doesn't have to think about these things. After all, he is the only goalkeeper available in Real Madrid. Lemons will inevitably appear in the starting list of various games.
The atmosphere on the training field is as harmonious as ever, and often when the team is in a trough, various problems will arise. After all, the performance is what is directly linked to the player's reputation and income. It's useless for the coach to wear out his lips.
Now Real Madrid is proud of La Liga, and they have been crushed all the way in the European competition. They have a more beautiful lineup than last season, so naturally they will not have any dissatisfaction with the club.
Moreover, Mourinho, who has decided to stay in Real Madrid for a few more seasons to enjoy the wonderful crushing pleasure, is also more protective of players. In comparison, Mourinho has done a good job in rotation. The opportunity for players to compete fairly, everyone in Real Madrid thinks about how to impress the coach in training every day, and rarely thinks about other things.
Didn't you see that even Ronaldo, who has unlimited firepower, is doing his best to make Mourinho favor him?
With the right to start, there will be more attention and better opportunities to show their faces. For players, this is a must, and for stars, this is the basic requirement for them to go up and have a good time, and it must be met!Now Real Madrid has progressed to the final stage of the league, and there are only a few games left in various knockout matches. How long will it be if they don't go abroad at this time!
Mourinho has used countless rotations to tell everyone in the team that you are not indispensable, you need to impress me through hard work, and once you impress me, then I will let you play, let you eat cakes, and let you be The characters in the high light are fatally alluring to the current Real Madrid.
Clemens, who is the least concerned about position in the team, does not consider the hard work of his teammates at all. He does basic activities on his own, and from time to time he regards throwing the ball high as a sport in a serious manner. one item.
"Thomas... what are you doing..." Pepe looked at the blond man who had been tossing the ball for more than 5 minutes, speechless.
"I'm resting." Clemens said with a calm expression, but the movements of his hands never stopped.
Pepe felt that she shouldn't be jealous, but when the whole team was fighting for a main position, this person's leisurely appearance was very dazzling...
Of course, just now Clemens has done four sets of goal-saving training and really needs to rest, but your arrogant way of rest is still somewhat unique.
The Portuguese defender rubbed against Clemens and said, "I said, Thomas, if you are really tired, you can sit there and rest, no need..." Don't pretend to work hard here, you don't feel comfortable resting, I It's also tiring to watch.
Clemens glanced at Pepe, his expression was calm, and his eyes were as cold as ever. Just when Pepe felt that he had said something wrong, Clemens patted him on the shoulder from behind, and then, just as Pepe With stunned eyes, Pei turned and walked to the sidelines and sat down directly!
Also sitting on the chair at the moment is the coach of the team, Mr. Mourinho.
Perhaps in order to understand Mourinho's hard work, and to avoid the recurrence of the previous fainting on the court, Real Madrid made careful arrangements for Mourinho's recuperation plan. Anyway, he can sit instead of standing. You can take a car instead of walking, and strive for perfection in every detail.
Among them, Karanka's suggestion is indispensable. Of course, Mourinho can only secretly roll his eyes and accept Mr. Florentino's kindness.
There are two more chairs on the sidelines of the training field, one for Mourinho and the other for Karanka, but most of the time Karanka does not have time to do it. As an assistant coach, he needs to prepare It's a lot of work, so often that chair is just a bottle of water.
Now Clemens just picked up the water bottle and sat on it.
This move shocked a group of people. Even Kaka, who was doing one-on-one with Marcelo, looked over in surprise. Their thoughts were very consistent, and they wanted to see how Clemens would be repaired by Mourinho. !
But what is surprising is that Mourinho didn't swear or move. Instead, he put down the pen in his hand and started... chatting with Clemens?
What the hell!
Why don't you follow the Basic Law!
However, these players did not have lip-reading skills. Naturally, they did not know that when Clemens walked past just now, he really wanted to walk on the sidelines and then go to the physical coach. It was Mourinho who said: "Thomas, Come here." Only then did Mr. Daochang summon him.
But this detail was ignored by the teammates, which not only shocked the players, but also caused the reporters who were filming the public training session in the distance to look at each other.
I used to think that in this team, Ozil and Varane are Mourinho's hardcore, but now the position of the top name is afraid to be replaced...
Regardless of what others think, Mourinho just said to Clemens: "Your training was very intensive just now, Thomas, I think you can properly reduce the amount of exercise in the following period of time. The schedule is intensive and excessive. Exercise often doesn’t work out.”
Clemens knew that Mourinho was afraid of being injured in training, so he replied bluntly: "Sir, I am in good health."
"I know, but let's reduce it." Mourinho sighed helplessly when he said this.
For other teams, it is often the forwards and defenders who are injured, which is reasonable.
Forwards are a bit desperate for scoring goals, and they are easy to be tricked. Some injuries are inevitable.Defenders often sacrifice themselves to block the eye, and often use their whole body to stop the opponent's attack, and there is a lot of danger.
But which team consumes the goalkeeper to play?
His own team is different. Clemens, the main goalkeeper, has not had an accident yet, but the two substitute goalkeepers have entered the ward for strange reasons.Lopez was injured during training, and he hasn't healed until now. Fernandis threw himself in the last game against Chelsea, and he will also have to rest for half a month. Real Madrid now has only Clemens left A first-team goalkeeper!
Now Clemens is the treasure in Mourinho's heart, and he is also synonymous with fragile products. Even a little bump will make him feel distressed for a long time. If this one also quits, then Real Madrid's game should not be played at all.
Clemens could also see that Mourinho really didn't want to surprise himself, so he no longer refused, just nodded and agreed.
Mourinho smiled and started chatting with Clemens about other things.
Chatting with the players is necessary, as is the head coach. Mourinho will also choose to talk to the players under his hands during training intervals, which helps to enhance the relationship between the two parties.In many cases, athletes are simpler than ordinary people. Most of them only think about things on the field. If it is not for the agent or the club, they will do it for them. Therefore, many players will deal with things in a simple and direct way, and they can speak easily. Very straightforward.
After all, players like Alonso who are born with veteran aura and emotional intelligence are in the minority, and Pepe Marcelo is the mainstream.
Clemens did not sit there all the time, but stood up quickly so that he could not let his body cool down. Mourinho looked at him and asked: "Recently, Jorge called you ?"
Clemens thought for a while, then picked up the ball in his hand and started tossing it around, and said in his mouth: "No, I haven't received a call from Jorge since I finished shooting Pepsi. "
This is very abnormal.At the moment, only such a thought appeared in Mourinho's mind.
Real Madrid is the most important position for Mendes. He attaches great importance to his contacts in Real Madrid, so generally speaking, Mendes will call Mourinho every week, and inquire about the situation of his players in Real Madrid.
It is very annoying for an agent to affect the normal operation of the club, but Mendes doesn't mind being hated by others. He can always find various reasons to put pressure on the club with the cheek to improve the treatment of players. and the importance of the club.
Many players believe that goals must be scored in the Real Madrid team. The example they cited was Makelele. Such a good defender was bullied by Real Madrid to the bottom of the salary. The suffering experience of the Champions League Sixteen Lang who came to Real Madrid.This makes Real Madrid people have a strange association, that is, they must score goals to be able to stay. This association has given birth to the whole team singing "Forward! Forward!! Forward! !!" He even did not hesitate to kill his own goalkeeper completely.
Casillas in front had already suffered a lot, and now Clemens can't wait for everyone to be tied with a rope.But this idea is pure nonsense in Mendez's view.
Mendes' consistent view is that the club's top executives have always been short-sighted. They don't see tactics, they don't see the advantages of players. That's all.
Except for some things that can make famous stars in the real football circle come to the club to be the masters of the club, there are too few clubs that have been impacted and eroded by the gold dollar. Holding the life and death power of the club will inevitably lead to some strange transactions.
Real Madrid even more so.
Mendes never puts too much emphasis on techniques and tactics when negotiating with high-level officials. He always emphasizes money and his own position, and puts pressure on the club through his agent!
He will be noisy, he will make noise, and he will use the pen of the media to fight for himself!
Mendes has always been committed to letting all the top management know that his players are very good, very good. With this impression, he always uses various methods to brag and show off to the top management of Real Madrid, and then he starts to pass the player's worth and commercial value. To force the high-level to give them the green light, everything is routine enough and easy to use.
What many good players lack is such a person who can help them brag. If Makelele's agent can make a big enough noise and feel oppressive enough, he guarantees that even if Makelele leaves Real Madrid, the fans will be forced The top executives at that time dismissed get out of class!
Mendes is the one who can afford it, and that's his value as a top agent.
It is really strange that Mourinho has not been contacted for a long time now. Mourinho, who has been harassed by this person before, feels annoyed, but now he suddenly cut off contact but feels a little awkward.
Mourinho stood up and patted Clemens' arm, told him to find a physical coach to start physical training, and then Mourinho called Ramos to let him watch the players After completing the regular training, he himself temporarily left the training ground.
And half an hour later, Clemens got the news.
Mendez, sick.
===
Jorge Mendes never knew he would get sick too, and so badly so.
He has always been full of energy, and even the long-term trapeze life has not made Mendes neglect sports.He has always been in good shape and good mental condition, and the regular medical examination report also makes him sure that every part of his body is in good working condition.
Who would have known that just a blow at night would make him lie on the bed for two full days.
He is still stranded in England, where he needs to negotiate a few deals.
British players have always been the coveted object of Mendes. England has a household registration book. As long as British players circulate within the Premier League team, they will inevitably bring in a large transfer fee, and it is completely inconsistent with the player's own ability. transfer fee!
There is a lot of oil and water in it, and Mendes will not give up, so he is looking for suitable young players.
Mendes, who has opened the door to the Arsenal club through Griezmann's transfer, has found many good seedlings. I have to say that Professor Wenger's vision is indeed unique enough, and in the Tottenham youth training camp next door to Arsenal There are also many small players who have potential, and Mendes, who has cast a wide net, has been in contact with them recently to persuade them one by one.
It was at this juncture that Mendes fell ill and had a persistent low-grade fever and dizziness, so he ignored the routine activities to send warmth to Mourinho.
When Mendes finally woke up and dismissed the little nurse who took care of him, he took out the mobile phone on the cabinet, opened it, and saw ten missed calls.
All Mourinho.
Mendes rubbed his eyes, then played back with the hand that didn't have the infusion. After connecting, he smiled and said, "Jose, it's really not easy for you to contact me."
"What's wrong with you?" Mourinho's tone was not good.
Mendes didn't care, he just said, "Fever, but it's not serious."
Mourinho frowned tightly. If he had a low-grade fever, this person would not cut off the phone. He looked very serious.However, Mourinho, who was used to sneering at Mendes, couldn't think of how to say comforting words for a while, so he fell silent.
It turns out that Mendes is quite good at entertaining himself, and the Portuguese agent who has become sober said with a smile: "Call me, is there anything?"
"...did you take an ad for Ozil? He was late today."
This sentence aroused the vigilance of Mendes. He did help Ozil to accept some commercial endorsements, but for Mendes, the player's ability has always been the most important, and he will never let a player because of commercial activities. Sacrifice level of play, then there must be other reasons for Ozil's lateness.
Thinking of the title of "little prince of the nightclub" that the German kid has always had, Mendes coughed lightly. This was to cover up his embarrassment. He chose not to tell Mourinho his guess: "I will go back and talk to Mourinho later. Mesut talked."
Mentioning Ozil was just to find a topic, and Mourinho didn't really mind being late this time—Anyway, Ozil was running laps to the point of crying—what he minded was Mendes' voice just now. cough.
"You need to rest, I won't bother you anymore, take your medicine." Mourinho's voice was a little stiff, and then he was about to hang up the phone.
Before that, Mendes hurriedly said: "Wait, Jose, I have something to say to you while taking this opportunity!"
After a brief silence, Mourinho was rarely impatient, but responded calmly: "Say."
Mendes sat up slightly, trying his best not to let the needle on the back of his hand return blood, leaning on the soft pillow, Mendes said with a smile: "I already have a clue about the contract you mentioned last time."
"What contract...you mean the lifetime contract?!" Mourinho originally had no hope for this matter at all, but now he is a little surprised to hear that Mendes has actually done it.
Mendes enjoyed the tone of his coach very much. It is a great compliment to get this kind of response after what he has done is known. Mendes felt refreshed in his heart, and his tone was much lighter: "Yes Yes, I talked about a part of the lifetime contract, and there are some clauses that need your confirmation. But there are a few major prerequisites, I hope you can know."
Mourinho instantly threw away the embarrassment just now, and just said: "Don't be around the corner, just say it!"
Mendes once again lamented that the gentleness just now was really his own illusion, and then he kept talking: "C Ronaldo is more difficult to talk about. You know, Real Madrid always has high requirements for forward players. I tend to have a long-term position before. A contract with a lot of time and additional clauses, and then talk about lifetime. However, Kaka’s is relatively easier, a peak Kaka is very important, and if Kaka can maintain this state, even if it is only two or three years, this contract can pass.”
Age is an eternal question.
Mourinho also knows that Mendes is telling the truth, and all he wants is that Real Madrid executives don’t sell people casually during his few seasons in Real Madrid. Now what Mendes has done can reach his goal. Require.
La Liga is different from the Premier League. Mourinho, who used to be in Chelsea, holds the absolute lifeblood of the team. Transfers, games, and off-court affairs are all handled by the head coach. Even though Abramovich is a chairman looking for trouble, but in many things You have to compromise with Mourinho.
La Liga is different. Joining Real Madrid really wants to sell someone to cash in. Mourinho has nothing to do, except to enjoy his mouth.
Stabilize the current lineup and reinforce regularly, this is the highest requirement of Mourinho.
But Mendes didn't finish his sentence: "Of course, these are normal results, there is an exception." His voice paused, "That is, if you can win enough championships this season, pay attention , if there are enough champions, then I will help you keep the one you want to keep."
Mourinho's hands clenched the phone tightly. He understood what Mendes meant, that is, he was about to start negotiations, and the bargaining chips for the negotiations were heavy champions.
Not enough golden balls, not enough golden boys, not even one or two championships, what he wants is the most championships, the more the better.
Mendes thought that Mourinho would ridicule a few words, but what surprised him was that Mourinho actually agreed, and the agreement was very smooth: "Of course, you just have to prepare the contract."
Mendes blinked, sighed again about Jose's confidence, then smiled and made another request: "Then look, the advertising contract I asked you to sign last time?" Then Mendes quickly He held the phone farther away from his ear.
Usually at this time Mourinho would yell at him and then drop the phone. Of course, the final result was a signing, but the middle process was full of blood and tears.
But this time Mendes didn't wait for the roar, but said indifferently: "It's signed and passed on to you, that's it." Then he hung up.
that's it?
Jorge - dazed - Mendez looked at the phone screen and suddenly smiled.
He wouldn't expect Mourinho to suddenly become amiable to him, but maybe he can expect Mourinho to be kind to himself when he is sick?
Well, this is a good discovery. Sure enough, Jose's heart is still made of meat.

In the next two weeks, Real Madrid experienced three league games and a Copa del Rey semi-final.
The three-game killing streak in the league is no longer news. Real Madrid is not playing against a strong team, but there is an interesting thing about it.
That is, after sweeping Real Sociedad [-]-[-] in the league on weekends, they will continue to compete with Real Sociedad in the second game of the Copa del Rey semi-final in the middle of last week. I have to say that this is insignificant to Real Madrid, but it is devastating to Real Sociedad sexual blow.
In the second game, their leading striker Samuel Eto'o was sent off the field after helping Real Sociedad to score the score because he was not very strained in the match against his old club Barcelona. He kept a league point but also injured himself. After being absent twice, he has the opportunity to face Real Madrid head-on again.
Obviously he wanted to stand up for Barcelona, but he was injured because of the Barcelona game. It has to be said that it is a bit unlucky.
So in the second match of the semi-finals, although Real Madrid played with all the main players, they were not threatened at all. Real Sociedad without Eto'o is a toothless tiger, only a little bigger than a cat.
It was another four to zero, and Real Madrid advanced to the King's Cup final with their heads held high, and once again joined forces with Barcelona in the final!
Real Sociedad is going to swallow the bitter fruit of being conceded eight goals by the same team in just four days, [-] to [-], which should be a score that is very fateful to Atletico Madrid.
But none of these games have attracted the attention and attention of the media, because the whole of Europe has adjusted to the Champions League format.
When Real Madrid hit the headlines again, it was a few days later and it was a background role.
"The Manchester United team came to Madrid, and the atmosphere at the airport was dignified"
And another piece of news from The Sun is even more eye-catching——
"Ferguson quietly went to Madrid, or brought a major turning point! "
