079 Fifteen million
Sitting on the bench, Tang Hong put on Braga's autumn sports jacket, and the team doctor was giving him a massage on the cramped part.
Tang Hong is definitely not cramps caused by lack of vitamins or calcium, so he only needs physical therapy to recover.
He played two games in five days, and there was nothing to keep for him. As long as he was on the court, he was able to do his best, and the high-intensity confrontation and accelerated the pace of running, which made his body, who was under 18 years old, unable to bear it.
The game continued on the court, and Tang Hong put on his trousers to keep warm and then continued to watch the game.
The Municipal Stadium echoed the cheers of the home team fans, and the UEFA Cup started well and was close to you!
Athletic Bilbao created two shot threats in the remaining game, but they were both resolved by Quim. Braga finally defended the score of 3:2 and scored 3 points!
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Tang Hong, wearing autumn sportswear, stood up and smiled lightly with his teammates around him, and then walked towards the player passage.
He couldn't wait to take a hot shower.
After returning to the locker room, the generals of Braga took the initiative to hug Tang Hong for a simple hug, and then music started to play in the locker room. The Brazilian players cheered and danced while cheering for victory.
It was only when Yartim returned to the locker room that the music stopped for a minute, and the head coach took the initiative to hug each player and praised their performance today. As for the game summary, it was tomorrow.
Then, music and dance in the locker room.
Because Tang Hong had cramps in his right leg, he did not join the Samba Dance Team after taking a shower.
I went home early to rest. Tang Hong was doing yoga in the front yard of the villa the next morning.
The weather in Braga, which is in autumn, is very good, with gentle breezes and not cold, and the sunshine is sufficient to make Tang Hong comfortable wearing only short-sleeved shorts.
The electric door of the villa opened, a Mercedes drove in, Mendes, dressed in shirt and trousers, walked quickly with a newspaper under his arm, and he was smiling.
Tang Hong asked in front of him: "Have you had breakfast?"
Greetings with Chinese characteristics.
Mendes laughed and stepped forward to hug Tang Hong, which is a very common etiquette in Portugal life.
Mendes smiled and handed him the newspaper, saying, "You should see how the media in Portugal praises you today."
Tang Hong looked at the villa hall, smiled and shook his head, "No need, I have a sister. She likes to collect news about me now. Of course, it is positive and positive. She will ignore negative comments directly."
Mendes rolled up the newspaper and held it in his hand, not planning to open it again for Tang Hong to see it. He looked down at the city of Braga and asked with a smile: "Braga is still a little smaller. Do you want to go to a big city?"
Tang Hong frowned and said, "Can you?"
Mendes smiled and said, "You should have thought that the new season has only started for one month. You scored 10 goals for Braga and three assists. What's more, your fighting spirit and talent on the field have already made it impossible for the three major Portuguese giants to ignore. Just now, the desk of Braga's chairman El Salvador has three offers from Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, 15 million euros.
As long as El Salvador agrees and you are willing to transfer, then you will be able to leave Braga to compete for the championship in three months. Don’t worry about the contract treatment, and I will win you a level close to the maximum salary in their team.”
This is not Mendes' targetlessness. His confidence comes from his friendship with these wealthy families and his strong attitude in negotiations. After all, there are many of his customers in the three major Portuguese Super League. It is absolutely impossible for those wealthy families to say that Mendes is not a little afraid. In addition, it is also because Tang Hong himself has the ability to ask for high salaries and market influence.
Tang Hong asked meaningfully: "From Braga to Lisbon or Porto? Go to a team that competes for the championship? Isn't the team I play for now competing for the championship?"
Mendes was stunned when he heard this, and when he came back to his senses, he sighed: "I like your fighting spirit and lofty ambitions very much. I just want to tell you that you have a new choice now. My suggestion is that if you desire greater challenges, then Porto is a good place. If they can qualify from the Champions League group stage, then you can play in the Champions League in the second half of the season, but maybe there will be no time. After all, it is already amazing that Porto can enter the knockout stage today. Want to enter the quarterfinals or the semi-finals? This reminds me of the era when Jose Mourinho coached Porto, which seems too long to go today."
Tang Hong thought for a moment and replied: "Although I have no nostalgia for the city of Braga, as a place where I debuted in my career, the club coach Yartim has never deceived me. He gave me the opportunity to play professional football here, and now he is a little famous. I just gained the trust of the team. I think I should continue to fight here. Maybe this team is not as strong as Porto, Benfica, and Sporting Lisbon, but this will make us work harder and make it more challenging to strive for the championship.
Another thing is that I have won the main position in Braga. Why do I want to go to the three giants of Portuguese Super League to serve as a foil for others?
The jumping height from Braga to the three giants in Portugal is not much attractive. If I want to leave Braga, I will leave Portugal directly."
Mendes nodded to show his understanding. He patted Tang Hong on the shoulder and smiled: "Then keep working hard. To be honest, eight years ago when I sent 18-year-old C Ronaldo to Manchester United, although I have contributed to many player transfers in the next eight years, you are the second one that makes me excited now. I want to see how many clubs will be willing to take you away from Portugal after the end of this season.
Tang Hong, you have a bright future, I hope you don’t give up halfway.”
Tang Hong nodded at Mendes with a smile.
As an agent, Mendes will also play the role of a player's life mentor in some aspects. He can help players manage their finances, help them settle their families, and guide players to become better. This is the secret to his success.
Tang Hong invited Mendes to have lunch together at home, but Mendes did not refuse. But what surprised him was that Sun Rou, who seemed younger than Tang Hong, prepared an extraordinarily sumptuous lunch, and arranged it in an orderly manner from a nutritional perspective.
At the dining table, he chatted and laughed with Tang Hong and learned more about Tang Hong’s past football growth experience.
To Mendes' surprise, Tang Hong spent much more time on football than other players.
For example, Tang Hong practiced football almost every day since he was three years old, and he focused on strengthening his physical fitness and systematic football training since he was eight years old. He led the team to play a formal game every week at the age of 15, and since five years ago, his diet has paid great attention to nutritional matching.
It is impossible for other players to devote so much time to football every day, because playing is a child’s nature, and secondly, there are also things to learn, and training at the lower age is relatively easy and free.
This made Mendes understand that Tang Hong's current strength comes from his beyond imagination and his consistent focus on football.
In the afternoon, Tang Hong was going to go to training, and Mendes went with him because he was going to talk to El Salvador.
Regardless of whether the chairman wants to cash out Tang Hong immediately, Mendes must at least inform Braga of Tang Hong's choice. Even if Braga wants to send him to the three giants of Portuguese Super League, he will not only make 15 million euros in vain in half a year, but also have excessive returns in competitive fields, but Tang Hong is unwilling to transfer, so the transaction cannot be completed.
El Salvador was really hesitating, and Mendes' visit made him feel relieved.
Mendes said the deal would not happen, and he knew there was no room for rotation.
El Salvador was just worried that he would be in a mess in the end. If Tang Hong stayed in Braga for two years and transferred freely, Braga would naturally not be able to lose money, but he would lose a huge amount of income.
Mendes is very versatile in his work, so of course he will convince Salvador to put his heart in his stomach.
He needs Braga to continue to give Tang Hong the greatest support, which is also a reflection of Mendes' struggle for the best interests of his customers.
Besides, Braga did not get any money in the end, which was not Mendes' purpose in doing things. He was always pursuing win-win results.
