Godfather Of Champions

When I got up the next morning, he and Shania were still the only ones in the huge room. Shania also made breakfast just like yesterday before asking Dunn to get up, and then sitting at the dining table, watching Dunn eat alone. breakfast.

Just after eating, Dunn received a call from a stranger. Since taking Shania to Spain for vacation that time, Dunn has learned a lesson, no matter when, the phone is turned on 24 hours a day. He is no longer a poor fan in China, and roaming fees are still paid.

The phone number is completely unfamiliar, and Dunn stared at the phone number for a few rounds without remembering who it belongs to.

After the call, there came an English with some Latin accents: "Good morning, Mr. Dunn. It should be morning in Brazil, right?"

"Ah, uh, yes... morning. Good morning, sir, you are..."

"I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jorge Mendes, and I am Pepe's agent." The voice over there was calm.

When he heard this name, Dunn was stunned. It is not surprising that as a fan of Dunn, he did not recognize this name, but as the head coach of a team, it is an unforgivable mistake not to hear the name. Although Nottingham Forest has yet to deal with Portuguese players, Dunn has also heard of the people on the other end of the phone.

Almost all the head coaches and general managers of European clubs will have this person's phone number in the business card holder. Because he is the largest professional agent in Portugal and a football agent with strong influence throughout Europe, he maintains good relationships with people such as Chelsea boss Abramovich, and his tentacles extend to every European A corner.

Jorge Mendes can be regarded as the godfather of professional agents in Portugal, including famous coaches and players such as Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo, all represented by him.

This person is a big name among the agents, and naturally he is also a good one, so he has to be careful. Dunn nodded, and then I remembered that Mendes who called on the phone could not see him, so he said: "I have heard of your name, Mr. Mendes. I didn't expect Pepe to be your agent. Players."

There was a hearty laughter over there: "There are probably not many coaches who have not heard my name. I have also heard your name, Mr. Dunn. The speed of the rise of Nottingham Forest in the last two years is like riding on a rocket. He is the youngest coach to lead the team in the European Champions Cup next season. Did you meet my players yesterday?"

"Well, by chance, I was on vacation in Brazil, but Pepe was also on vacation in Brazil. I always thought he was in Portugal..."

Mendes was silent for a while, "Pepe...he has a little trouble in Portugal, I suggest that he go back to Brazil to relax." Hearing his tone and words, it seemed that Pepe was not the current post. The players of Porto coach Dutchman Adriance are under his agent. When his players are in trouble and need help, he is the agent who first thinks of him, not the coach of the team he plays for.

"Mr. Dunn, what do you think of Pepe?"

"Very good, very good. The type I admire."

"Pepe called yesterday and told me all of your conversations. He said that you seem to be familiar with him, and you know him better than Adrian Sedu."

Of course, Dunn knows that this is all thanks to his memory of traveling from 2007, but he can't tell the truth. "Well...it's like this, in fact, I have been paying attention to Pepe since a long time ago."

Mendes laughed again: "It's a coincidence that another person was also interested in Pepe long ago. Porto brought him to the Dragon Stadium from Maltimer because of this person's recommendation. What a pity. Before Pepe came, he left. Do you know who I am talking about? Mr. Dunn."

"Of course I know, Mr. Mendes. The man you are talking about is Mourinho, the former Porto coach."

"Haha, that's right! It's a pity that this Dutchman doesn't use Pepe well now. Are you interested in knowing what Pepe told me yesterday, Mr. Dunn?"

"of course."

"He said that the experience of chatting with you yesterday made him unforgettable. When he was in Porto, Adrian Sek would never talk to him like this, understand his thoughts, or let him know the other person's thoughts. He felt very Not bad... Tell you the truth, Mr. Dunn. I think it’s a good idea to ask Peppa to play under a coach who knows him. Peppa 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 Porto can’t create conditions for him to appreciate.”

Mendes's words have been said sufficiently clear, and he intends to let Pepe go to the Forest team, and now the only obstacle between them is the trade between Porto and Forest team.

Dunn was very happy with the news. He is a "comer" and he knows the story behind Pepe and Porto.

In the 05-06 season-the next season-Porto has a poor record. Due to the pressure of performance, the head coach Adriance made some adjustments to the lineup and changed to a more offensive 343 formation. Pepe was able to play the main role-he is the best candidate for the third central defender. But that is something that hasn't happened yet. Even the godfather like Mendes can't predict the future. He doesn't know that Adrian will change his attitude towards Pepe, and he doesn't know how Pepe's worth will rise in the future— -Dunn doesn't know that Pepe will become the most expensive defender in the European transfer market in the summer of 2007, because he crossed before the summer transfer market opened.

But Dunn knew that Pepe was not happy now in Porto, and Porto only positioned him as a substitute for Pedro Emmanuel, George Costa and Ricardo Costa, in the central defender. In terms of position, he is the fourth choice.

After encountering Pepe by chance yesterday, Dunn simply passed the Brazilian defender's experience over the past few years in his mind. Although it was a chance encounter, the timing was just right. Dunn didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He was impressed by how strong Pepe was in the game, and Pepeke in reality is not weak at all. Isn't the Forest team short of good central defenders? Give him the main position, give him trust, give him freedom, let him come to the forest team!

Pikwe and Pepe, the two most physical central defenders in the game, this combination, Dunn just thought about it and felt excited.

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

"Don't worry about that, Mr. Dunn. Since the players are willing, you are willing, and I am willing, we can now talk about Pepe's transfer fee and personal treatment."

These words made Dunn clearly realize how much energy Mendes has in Portugal, the poor Dutchman Adrian...

"What do you think of the four million euro transfer fee?" Mendes asked.

Porto spent a million when they bought it a year ago, and they made three million a year later. This deal should be satisfactory for Porto. But Dunn always felt that there was something wrong with Mendes being so enthusiastic, and he didn't rush to answer.

The other party also knew what Dunn was thinking, so he smiled: "Well, I just said that I have been following Nottingham Forest because your team has become popular too quickly. And I believe that in the future, I will pay attention to your team. There will be more and more people, and I... It’s just a little more predictable than them. You know, Mr. Tang En, as an agent, the vision is very important."

Dunn suddenly realized. Mendes used Pepe to come to him and build relationships with the Forest team because he was optimistic about the prospects of the Forest team. This is equivalent to a venture capital. Now the pattern of European football has been set, the rich are those, and the small and medium clubs are also those, no change. However, the rise of the Forest team has the possibility of breaking this pattern. It is precisely this point that Mendes has taken a fancy to, so that he can actively contact Dunn. Regardless of what he said just now, in fact, with the big stars of his players, what is a small Pepe? After pushing the boat along the river to give favors to the Forest team, to close the relationship between the two parties, and the future move in the transfer market, does the Forest team need to consult him, the economic man predator? In this way, he manipulates the transfer of the Forest team and seeks more benefits for himself...

This kind of thing is really hard to say right or wrong. Everyone is chasing benefits. Dunn knows this. Maybe he should feel honored? Because the Portuguese agent big names are interested in the development potential of the Forest team? But Dunn's principle is-don't let the fat delivered to your door be for nothing.

As for manipulating the club? If he has that ability, come and try!

Dunn nodded: "I understand, four million is reasonable. Mr. Mendes. As for Pepe's personal conditions, we can talk in person." He looked at Shania who was packing the tableware, "I'm so sorry for me now. I’m still on holiday in Brazil. When my holiday is over, I will definitely call you as soon as possible."

Mendes expressed his understanding and agreement with laughter. After exchanging greetings, they hung up the phone.

Dunn looked at Shania and smiled: "Where are we going to play today, Shania?"

※※※

If Mendes had also traveled through, he would definitely not make the move like today. If he knew that Pepe could sell for 30 million euros in two years, I am afraid he would regret what he did today.

And if Dunn can wear it two months late, he will be extremely happy for what he has gained today. Four million for thirty million, he made a profit!
