Chapter 527 A Fruitless Meeting
The conversation between Zhuoyang and Mourinho did not reach any substantive agreement, and it can even be said that there was no result, but the two did not disagree with each other.
After all, Mourinho is about to turn 50. Basically, you can be called a veteran coach after you are over 50, just like a player is a veteran after you are over 30. He suppressed his anger and suppressed it. There was an uneasy silence in the office. Only the large printed photo "Rockefeller Workers" was still smiling happily.
Real Madrid Club Marketing Director Ancho Sanchez came to visit, interrupting the conversation between the two and saving the embarrassment in the office.
Last May, after a season of tit-for-tat power struggles, Mourinho defeated Real Madrid's sporting director Valdano. Lafayette eliminated the position of sporting director and paid Valdano a severance package of 5.1 million euros.
The power of Valdano's original sports director was divided between head coach Mourinho and marketing director Sanchez, and the most important transfer rights also belonged to them. Sanchez came to Mourinho today, which means that there is a new situation in the winter transfer target.
Mourinho took advantage of the situation and ended the meeting with Zhuoyang without making any commitments. Zhuoyang also gave up when things got better. He had no intention of having a black-and-white relationship with Mourinho.
Zhuoyang's attitude today seems to Mourinho to be arrogant and arrogant. He has met many big names and had conflicts with many heavyweight players over the years while traveling among wealthy clubs, but no one is as arrogant as Zhuo Yang.
From Zhuoyang, Mourinho did not see any respect for him. In fact, Zhuoyang may have a little bit, but it is mainly Mourinho's preconceived psychology that is at play.
In fact, Mourinho misunderstood Zhuo Yang's attitude today. Zhuo Yang did not ignore Real Madrid, nor did he want to give Mourinho an impossible task.
Nowadays, Kaka's condition and comprehensive strength are difficult to compare with those of Milan's peerless duo. Zhuo Yang has now accepted this fact, he just refuses to admit it. Due to the rise of super wingers in recent years, Kaka's tactical characteristics are indeed no longer as arbitrary as before. Zhuo Yang knows all this.
But the question is, is Kaka really vulnerable to a fight? of course not! Kaka is no longer top, but he is still among the top players. No one can deny this.
Mourinho needs the best players with 100 points in each position, but in Zhuoyang's view, there are many opponents who only need 80 points to win, and Kaká is an 80-point midfielder, and even It can be an 80-point shadow forward.
This is Zhuoyang's purpose. He hopes that Mourinho will give Kaka as many starting opportunities as possible, but he does not insist that Kaka must start in every game. Zhuoyang is not a fool. He is trying to find a balance between professionalism and sensibility as much as possible.
Kaka can continue to start on the court, which is also a very ideal result for the Real Madrid club, because Kaka still has huge commercial value, and Galeries Lafayette is naturally happy to see it happen. Therefore, Zhuoyang believes that his condition is a win-win-win situation.
Zhuoyang feels that Mourinho must be a little embarrassed by this request, but it will not be too difficult because it is completely feasible. And since Mourinho is one of the most outstanding head coaches in football, this little thing must not only not trouble him, but he may even have a more clever method.
Zhuo Yang was even full of expectations for this.
Zhuoyang and Mourinho actually had an extremely unsuccessful conversation, and both of them misunderstood the other's true attitude. Zhuo Yang thought a little too well, but Mourinho always kept secrets about other people's intentions.
Zhuoyang thinks they are all adults,
It is most appropriate to speak to the point, but being secretive does not actually convey the original intention.
The root cause is that the two of them are full of distrust of each other, and they already had their prejudices before they walked into that office.
.
In the next two days, everything was calm between Mourinho and Zhuo Yang. It seemed that there had never been such a meeting. However, Mourinho seemed to have eaten something dirty and opened fire in the media one after another, launching attacks from all directions.
Valdano, the former sports director who has left Real Madrid for a year and a half, was the first to be criticized. Mourinho brought up old stories and mocked him for not knowing who Khedira and Ozil were at that time. If he hadn't insisted on it, Real Madrid would have missed this. Two excellent players with excellent value for money.
Then he inexplicably pointed the finger at Paris Saint-Germain. Mourinho said: "Every great city in Europe has a great team, but I don't think Paris has one. Great players can form a great team, But if you ask me if Leonardo and Ancelotti can win the Champions League this season, my answer is absolutely impossible."
An Pang and Paris really didn't provoke him.
Barcelona will naturally not be pardoned by Mourinho: "I will not compare Barcelona with us. Why talk about Barcelona? Real Madrid was the La Liga champion last season and Chelsea was the Champions League champion. Barcelona did not win La Liga or the Champions League. .”
Mourinho also said against his will that he has no conflict with Casillas and Ramos. He believes that they are the best players and are Real Madrid's assets.
He even praised Zidane for the first time that he would become an outstanding coach in the future, as if Zidane's criticism of him a few days ago had never happened.
Last week, Zizou said that Mourinho should not focus on fighting with the media or blaming the referees every game. That is not good.
Mourinho also talked a lot, praising Cristiano Ronaldo, Quadetu, and Coentrao, talking about his ambitions in Real Madrid, and promising to win the Champions League within two years.
He talked about that he still had three years of contract and said that he was very happy to coach at Real Madrid. "Unless Real Madrid chase me away one day, I will always be here."
Mourinho was very interested, but in this wave of glib words, he did not talk about any topics related to Zhuoyang and Kaká.
Two days later, La Liga resumed, with Real Madrid hosting newly promoted Celta Vigo.
After the international break, Marcelo, Coentrao, Arbeloa, and Khedira all returned to Madrid with injuries, and the midfield and backfield were slightly stretched. Mourinho creatively asked Detu to play at left back, with Zhuo Yang and Modric partnering as a double midfielder.
In the frontcourt with no shortage of players, Kaka started with Ozil, Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuain.
Real Madrid defeated Celta Vigo with a calm 3:0 and are still 8 points away from Barcelona. In the game, Detu performed very well as a full-back, and Zhuoyang played steadily with one pass and one shot.
But Kaka's performance was average. He seemed tired and in a low mood. He was replaced by Di Maria only five minutes into the second half.
