Speaking of this, Xiao Yu paused deliberately, and he saw that Mendes seemed to be searching for memories in his head.

"Who are you talking about?" Mendes apparently didn't think about it.

No matter how good his memory is, it is impossible to remember all the first teams of the team, as well as the players of the youth team, in his head, then he is not a human being, he is a computer.

"Cristiano Ronaldo, he's still in Sporting Lisbon's youth team, but Sporting Lisbon is very optimistic about his future, but I'm even more optimistic about him, I hope he can come to the new Manchester United, he's a talent!"

Mendes heard Mourinho mention Xiao Yu's selection of players, and he also admired his vision, but is a player he hasn't even heard of very much, really as strong as he says?

"Mr. Xiao Yu, you know, the opponent is Sporting Lisbon, the top team in the Portuguese league, I think it will be difficult to convince this player to join the new Manchester United, right?" Mendez said with a wry smile.

While it's true that football is becoming more and more utilitarian, sometimes football is also very traditional, with the new Manchester United being the third tier in England and Sporting Lisbon being the giants of Portugal's top flight.

And listening to Xiao Yu's tone, Cristiano Ronaldo is still a player that Sporting Lisbon focuses on cultivating, and if you want to dig such a player, even if the other party is willing to come, the price will definitely be very high.

Mendes had heard that Xiao Yu had always been very cheap in poaching people, which made him think that Xiao Yu would buy people at a low price.

But Xiao Yu shook his head with a smile, "Jorge, this is going to test your ability, you know, he can't play in Sporting Lisbon now, but it doesn't mean that he has no place in our new Manchester United, as long as I can persuade him to come to Manchester, I promise to give you a commission, I will never let my friends down!" ”

Mendes was a little moved, Xiao Yu is a world-famous rich man, he said that he would give a commission, then it must be indispensable, but the crux of the question is, is Sporting Lisbon willing to let go?

"Mr. Xiao Yu, I am willing to help you with this, but I think it will be difficult to convince Sporting Lisbon, you know that they are the best team in Portugal, and the hope of winning the championship this year is very high......"

"£5 million, Jorge!" Xiao Yu stiffly interrupted Mendes's words, "I am willing to pay this money for him, as long as he can come, I will pay, but if you can say that the transfer fee is as low as possible, I will give you all the rest as a reward, and at the same time, I will give you another commission." ”

Mendes was taken aback by Xiao Yu's words, he had never talked about a deal with someone like this, but I have to mention that Mendes was very interested in Xiao Yu's proposal, because he knew the market, so he clearly saw the benefits contained in this transaction.

As a traverser, Xiao Yu knows that if 5 million pounds can buy Cristiano Ronaldo, it will definitely be worth it, because Manchester United spent more than 10 million pounds in 2003, and he feels that although the team currently has four wingers, Ribery's ability is not enough to take on the team's heavy responsibility.

Xiao Xiaoluo is here, and he can compete with Hleb, Wright Phillips, and Malouda, and there are so many games in England, Xiao Yu is not worried that he will not be able to play.

And he knows very well that this summer is the best time for him to take Xiao Xiaoluo, and if he misses it, then there will be no such cheap thing.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao Yu, I will consider your proposal carefully!" Mendez smiled and nodded in agreement.

The temptation given by Xiao Yu was too great, and he had no reason to refuse, so he wanted to give it a try.

…………

…………

After Mendes left, Mourinho looked at Xiao Yu with a wry smile.

"Boss, I don't think you've been stimulated by anything today?"

"How?" Xiao Yu felt strange.

"£5 million to buy a player who hasn't even played in an official game? Even if he is a rising star that Sporting Lisbon focuses on, he doesn't need such a high price, right? Mourinho is more aware of the domestic market in Portugal and feels that Xiao Yu's offer this time is a bit high.

Who knew that Xiao Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "I know the market, Jose, but I know better that he is different!" ”

Mourinho was quite helpless, "Is he really as strong as you say?" ”

"Well, maybe he won't have much of a shine in a year or two, but I promise that in a few years, he'll be the best player on the planet, he'll get the World Footballer of the Year, he'll be the most expensive player in the world, and at that point, looking back, you'll see, wow, that's a bargain of £5 million!"

Mourinho was amused by Xiao Yu's tone, but he still insisted on his opinion, 5 million pounds is expensive.

Xiao Yu also knows that the price is a little more expensive, almost more than a million pounds, but this is a piece of fat, if you want Mendes to concentrate on doing things for you, you have to give him a little more sweetness, let him work hard for you, then you can get what you want.

The new Manchester United can also come to talk to Sporting Lisbon in person, but people may not bird you, let Mendes go, he has a wide network of contacts and relationships in Portugal, in order to get that piece of fat, he will naturally do everything possible to complete what Xiao Yu requires.

That's why misers never get out of the way!

Xiao Yu is not a miser, his previous stinginess was all because he did not meet Xiao Xiaoluo's level, even Kaka and Messi, Xiao Yu has also poured a lot of effort into them, especially Messi, who has spent a lot of money on him in the past few years, which is not a small amount, and Kaka's original surgery costs are still from Xiao Yu.

"Okay, I trust your vision, but after he comes, you still can't interfere with everything in the team!" Mourinho also mentioned the problem of the team's wingers to Xiao Yu, and he didn't think that having another capable winger was a bad thing.

"Of course, Jose, I never interfere in your work, you know that!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

The two continued to put forward some views on the construction of the team, the current new Manchester United first team configuration is very reasonable, although the age is relatively young, but Juninho Jr., Senna, Malouda, Drogba and Hleb are older, and the surname is more calm, plus Mourinho's control of the team is in place, so the new Manchester United is very cohesive.

The league, FA Cup, League Cup and Pioneer Winners' Cup are four fronts, but the new Manchester United have maintained their form very well, continuing to maintain their lead in the league, and the FA Cup has also reached the third round, and the Pioneer Winners' Cup has also passed the two legs of the semi-finals and successfully entered the northern final.

It can be said that Mourinho has ushered in a complete explosion this season after last year's low ebb, especially after the victory over Reading, the new Manchester United are even stronger, and are currently seven points ahead of Brentford, and it is followed by a crucial away game against Brentford.

'The team is in good shape at the moment and my idea is to try to get more points in this period and then I'm going to go all out for the Carabao Cup, you know, if you win the Carabao Cup, you can go to the UEFA Cup!' Mourinho smirked.

Xiao Yu had already guessed his thoughts, and shook his head with a smile, "You can make this dream so big, Jose, but I like it, tell me, what can I do?" ”

Mourinho shook his head, "You've done well enough, boss, but I want to keep all the players in the first team now, you know, there are a lot of teams out there who are interested in them, and that's a little worrying for me!" ”

The team is doing well and the players are benefiting, especially the players who are doing well, and it would be demeaning to say that no one is paying attention, but it is also a problem to have people who are paying attention, especially when they are playing against teams at a higher level.

That's how difficult it is for lower teams to survive!

"Don't worry, Jose, whoever it is, don't want to poach our players during the winter break, that's my promise to you!" Xiao Yu said confidently.

According to the current contract of the club with the player, it is impossible for anyone to leave, unless the player wants to get into trouble with the team.

…………

…………

There were no further talks on Mourinho's contract, and the two sides soon held a press conference to announce a five-year contract extension, and Mourinho will receive the highest managerial salary outside of a Premier League club, and his salary will be higher than any player in the team.

On the afternoon of the day after the contract extension was announced, the new Manchester United visited Griffin Park in Brentford, London.

The new Manchester United sent the strongest squad in this game, Drogba, who has been in good form recently, continued to start as a striker, Wright Phillips and Hleb were separated from two wings, Juninho Jr., Senna partnered with Essien in the midfield, Evra, Terry, Curtis, Toure in the back line from left to right, and the goalkeeper was Cech.

In addition to Abidal, who is suspended for a yellow card, the new Manchester United have fielded their strongest squad of the season, and Mourinho has demanded that the team must win this game in order to have a more relaxed environment for the upcoming Carabao Cup.

Brentford obviously calculated that the left side of the new Manchester United defense is a hole, so from the first minute of the game to grasp the new Manchester United left side of the crazy attack, but in this game instead of Abidal started Evra washed away the shortcomings of the strong attack and weak defense, and completed the task assigned to him by the manager on the left side, although there were also mistakes, but compared with the past, the defensive strength has been greatly improved.

This made Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the stands, feel very satisfied after watching it, because he knew that Evra often practiced his defense hard, and Xiao Yu was very satisfied to see him improve.

Brentford were unable to penetrate the left side of the new Manchester United, but their left side was in turn turned into a sieve by the new Manchester United's right flank, and Hleb frequently attacked from the right, setting up Didier Drogba and then Wright Phillips with two low crosses.

It was with these two goals that the new Manchester United brought back three points from London, and the gap with Brentford also widened to 10 points.

After returning to Manchester from London, Xiao Yu also began to ask club officials to meet with the player's agent and ask them to renew the contract, but soon, Xiao Yu ushered in a frustrating fax!
