Chapter 193: The Trajectory of the Future

After hours of conversation, Abu and Kenyon were the first to walk out of the restaurant, and then, protected by a group of bodyguards, got into the car and left. Both men were expressionless and couldn't see the outcome of their conversations with Mourinho and Mendes. It wasn't until they got in the car that the two started talking. Abu sat in a luxury car, holding a glass of whiskey, and asked Kenyon next to him, "What do you think of this Mourinho?" ”

"I'm more impressed with his personality than his coaching ability." Kenyon said with some dissatisfaction. The meaning of this sentence is that Abou understands it as soon as he hears it, and Kenyon is implying that Mourinho's mouth is stronger than his coaching ability, and the implication is that he looks down on Mourinho's coaching ability. Abu smiled slightly, did not say a word, did not object, did not agree, and just began to taste the whiskey in his hand. As a tycoon who can go from a commoner to an oligarchic tycoon in Russia, Abu even if he doesn't know how to manage a football club, he has a very thorough understanding of some people's feelings.

According to the Chinese language, it is the old rivers and lakes. And football, to put it bluntly, is a river and lake with football games as the medium and carrier, and the essence is the same. Abou can certainly understand why Kenyon is unhappy with Mourinho, disliking Mourinho's character is one thing, but it's definitely not the whole story. I recalled in my mind that just now Mourinho proposed the conditions that if he ends up with Chelsea, the absolute right to decide on transfers, and the absolute right to manage the team. That is to say, except for giving him enough money, as well as providing help with related transfer operations and trivial team affairs, he has to keep all other powers. Such a big appetite. Of course, the new Chelsea CEO is very unhappy, and all this power has been given to Mourinho's words. What does Kenyon go to do, commute to work every day. Do you get paid for nothing.

In Abu's view, Chelsea is his own independent kingdom, he is the king, he can give whoever he wants to give power, no one can stop his decision, whether it is Kenyon or Chelsea's manager. This is determined by Abu's strong personality and way of handling affairs. Mourinho's request is not unacceptable in Abou's view, but only if Mourinho deserves it. This time. He remembered the conditions he had put forward to Mourinho in turn, at least to reach the final, and Mourinho to at least lead Porto to to the final.

However, Mourinho's answer was also very direct and strong: "Final? No, I think you'll call me the new European Champion coach then. Remembering Mourinho's strong and proud gaze like a wolf when he said this, Abu smiled again. To be honest, he doesn't hate Mourinho's character because he is such a person himself. This is. He thought of Lao Lei, who was still a member of the Porto team at this time, and said in his heart that he really deserved to be a master and apprentice, and his personality was exactly the same. In Abu's mind, a scene flashed when he met Lao Lei. "No, it should be that you are qualified to ask me to play". He thought about himself, plus Mourinho and Lao Lei. Three people with the same wolf-like personality on a team seems to be a very interesting thing. While sipping whiskey. While contemplating this image, Abu's mouth showed a smile of expectation.

And next to him was Kenyon. Seeing that Abu had no interest in continuing to talk deeply, he could only shut his mouth and sit quietly. However, after seeing the smile on Abu's lips, a sense of unease rose in his heart, as if he had a vague premonition that he and Mourinho would meet at Chelsea sooner or later. But he did not offer to reject Mourinho's offer again, because he knew that there was a master in front of him, and that what he decided would never change because of anyone. In other words, this is a person who plays football regardless of the inherent rules of football, as long as he thinks of it in his heart, he will do it, no matter what way it is, and he does not care if it is in accordance with the norm. In other clubs, perhaps the CEO's decision will greatly influence the boss's decision, but not in Abu, even if he was hired by Abu at great expense.

Glancing at Kenyon, who was no longer talking, Abu's eyes flashed with satisfaction. In his eyes, whether it is Kenyon or the future Chelsea manager, he is his courtier, the latter is the first to start. At all times, they must carry out their decisions, whatever it may be. For a person like Abu, he doesn't care at all if you are loyal or not, what are your shortcomings, he only cares if you are useful to him. As long as it works for him, he will reuse you, and in his concept, he can suppress and submit no matter what kind of person, including the CEO, the manager and the players. And that's where Kenyon backs down at the right time to satisfy him.

If Kenyon continues to argue with him, Kenyon's future at Chelsea will definitely not last long, even if he was hand-picked by Abu and hired with a lot of money. What Abu didn't know, however, was that some people were not born to be completely submissive. He also forgot about it, this is not his business, this is just football. It's just a part of life and losing it isn't hard to accept, not to mention that Chelsea isn't the only club or the biggest club in the world, there are always clubs that accept people, or even better clubs, as long as you have the ability.

At this time, in the restaurant on the other side, Mendes and Mourinho were also talking. "Champions League winners? How dare you say it? I almost broke out in a cold sweat from you. Mendes jokingly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and teased at Mourinho.

Mourinho didn't respond directly to his agent's and friend's ridicule, but just gave him a roll of his eyes, which embarrassed Mendes. It was only then that Mourinho spoke: "Are you joking for me? Hum. Do you know the last 8 of this season's Champions League? ”

Seeing Mendes nodding, he continued: "Monaco, Lyon, A CoruΓ±a... The presence of these teams proves that this year has been a year of weakness for the general European giants. This kind of moment is simply a moment that was born for us, and the weakness of the giants is naturally the moment when a team like ours comes on the field. However, what other teams are there before Porto reach the final, Monaco, Chelsea. I'm not sure I can beat them, but I'm 80% sure. We won't run into the big clubs until the final. When it comes to the finals, who wins and who loses, who can say clearly. However, I have a hunch that we can win this year. ”

Looking at the determined and confident gaze in Mourinho's eyes, Mendes, who knows his character, naturally knows that Mourinho is really not joking. And in his impression, as long as Mourinho himself admits that he is sure of something, it is rare that he has not been able to do it. After thinking about Mourinho's words just now, he couldn't help but get excited. As the agent who owns most of Porto's players, he is naturally very aware of how much money he will face if Porto win the final title. And among them, Lao Lei will immediately become the real chicken that lays golden eggs in his hands.

One glance at Mendes' expression made Mourinho know what his friend was thinking right now. But he wasn't very interested in any of that, and he just had to leave it all to Mendes anyway. He interrupted Mendes' thoughts and asked: 'Why would you ask a team like Chelsea to meet me?' You should know I'm not very interested in a club like Chelsea, I want a team like Liverpool, Inter Milan. ”

Listening to Mourinho's question, Mendes came to his senses. He naturally knows that Mourinho's target is those big clubs, and Chelsea are not up to the mark at the moment, but there is something special about this current Chelsea, and something special that he pays very attention to. He replied: "Don't you think this club is very special at the moment? ”

Particularly? Very special indeed, Mourinho agrees. He still vividly remembers Abu's answer to his first question: "I want a dynasty, a new great family to rise." But in Mr. Ranieri, I hardly see such a possibility. "Dynasty, the rise of new giants, to do this in a short period of time in an ordinary Premier League powerhouse, it is indeed very different. But that's where Abou and Chelsea can attract Mourinho right now, otherwise he wouldn't have been talking to Abou and Kenyon for so long. The new giants seem to be very interesting, Mourinho said in his heart. He could feel his blood boiling a little bit, and Mourinho was very interested in being at the helm and leader of a new giant.

However, he quickly reined in all this interest, after all, the season is not over yet, and it must still be unknown. Moreover, even if he led Porto to the Champions League at the end of the season, he is not Chelsea's only choice, and Chelsea is not his only choice. After deciding on his mind, Mourinho stood up and prepared to leave.

As he walked out with Mendes, Mourinho suddenly said to Keynes next to him: "If anyone else asks you to ask me, I have a request, and they have to do it." In the team I want to coach in the future, there must be one person, yes. ”

"Reima?" When Mendes heard this, he immediately asked back with an affirmative tone. Seeing Mourinho nodding, Mendes immediately showed a smile on his face. However, for some reason, he suddenly thought of Abu, who had just left, the man who spent a lot of money and disrupted the entire European transfer market.

And at this time, Lao Lei, who was teasing Xiao Ji at home, didn't know, and his future seemed to be slowly determined without him knowing, revealing a trace of trajectory. (To be continued......)
