When Gao Xiaodong was on vacation at home, the 19th World Cup, which attracted worldwide attention, opened in South Africa.


    This is the first time that the world cup has been held in Africa. The previous 18 world cups were held in Europe and America except one in Asia. Europe and South America won 9 Championships respectively, sharing equally.


    Although the European and South American teams have won 9 World Cup titles respectively, the European champions are all won in their own home countries. The South American team not only won one championship in Europe, but also won the only World Cup held outside Europe and America.


    The World Cup held in South Africa is a battle for Europe. They need to prove to the world that Europe is the center of world football, even in the world cup.


    It''s a football feast, a stage for stars to perform, a place for Scouts of major clubs to look for talents, and a place for football stars, celebrities, brokers, beauties and rich people to communicate, socialize, trade and exchange songs with each other.


    Gao Xiaodong didn''t appear at the opening ceremony of the world cup, but his agent Mendes arrived in South Africa three days ahead of schedule. Of course, the purpose of this agent is not to watch the ball. For him, watching the ball is just a cover up. His real purpose is to find a good owner for his players before the summer transfer window.


    Sitting with Mendes are Porto president da Costa and Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, who were the big three when Porto dominated Europe, and also the biggest contributor to Porto''s black shop opening all over the world.


    "Jose, you want a second high and small winter, Porto does not, there is only one high and small winter, 50 million sold too much loss."


    Black shop owner da Costa thinks that Gao Xiaodong''s performance this season is still too late to regret, but what he regrets is that he didn''t leave 20% ownership to Porto, so that now Gao Xiaodong is growing rapidly, but he can''t get a share.


    After years of cooperation with Da Costa, he said: "the growth of Gao is really amazing. At that time, I thought it was too risky to buy him with 50 million yuan. I didn''t expect that it is 80 million euro now."


    Mendes sighed: "I also regret that I didn''t reserve Gao Xiaodong''s portrait right at that time. The commercial development of Inter Milan is very poor. If I go to Real Madrid, the income of portrait right alone can keep up with his annual salary."


    "The Real Madrid platform is higher than the Inter, the annual salary is no less than the Inter, the business income is more, I am familiar with him, reuse, I don''t understand, why Gao Xiaodong is still hesitant."


    Da Costa seems to know more about Gao Xiaodong. He pushes his glasses and says slowly, "Jose, I don''t think it''s the problem."


    As he watched the opening ceremony of the stadium, he suddenly turned around and asked, "president, what''s the problem?"


    Da Costa said: "the problem is with Ronaldo and Kaka. Didn''t you notice? The boy has to be the captain of any team


    "It''s the Oriental''s sense of power worship," he said with disdain


    Da Costa shook his head and said: "although there is a little bit, I think it''s more about Gao Xiaodong who is not willing to be inferior to others. His current strength is not as good as Superman, and his fame is just a first-class star. In Real Madrid, Kaka and Ronaldo are all winners of the golden ball award. No matter how, Gao Xiaodong can''t climb to the top of both of them. This position is the third place at most. What can he do You will give up Inter''s boss not to do, willing to come to Real Madrid when the third


    Mendes also shook his head and said: "I agree with President da Costa that this is the most likely."


    Although he had this idea, he immediately abandoned it because he thought Gao Xiaodong was just 20 years old and had not won any top honors in the world. How could he want to be in a position with Ronaldo?


    But what da Costa said is reasonable. The old fox is even buried under his head. It''s more accurate to see people.


    "At this stage, I don''t have any possibility to let Gao Xiaodong be the core of Real Madrid. Inter are a group of old people who want to retire. Real Madrid are the best players in the world. No one will listen to me even if I say it," he said


    Da Costa said: "why must Gao Xiaodong? Obviously, inter won''t sell it, even if they sell it, they won''t sell it to Real Madrid. Besides, the penalty of 80 million is too amazing. If they really buy it, it''s not much cheaper than Ronaldo, but Ronaldo is the winner of the golden ball award. Gao Xiaodong is just a rookie."


    "President, there is no substitute for Gao Xiaodong," he said


    Da Costa said: "as far as Gao Xiaodong''s pursuers are concerned, Manchester City is the richest, the team of Chelsea is the best, inter are the most familiar, Real Madrid has the highest platform, the most famous, and all aspects are more favorable. But I''m afraid what Gao Xiaodong is most reluctant to come to is Real Madrid, unless you and Mendes force him to go to Real Madrid."


    Mendes sighed: "isn''t it clear, chairman? Gao Xiaodong planned to go to Manchester United last season, but he was just persuaded by me. If I disobey his wishes again this time, I''m afraid Gao Xiaodong will have more opinions on meDa Costa said: "yes, the boy has a lot of heart. He can''t go against his will again and again unless you can persuade him. But Jose, although Porto doesn''t have a second winter, Falcao, hulk and J. Luo is very good. Don''t regret missing you. "


    Mendes also strongly recommended his players, "Jose, if you want to play 433, Falcao is more suitable for Real Madrid than Higuain, DiMaria and Hulk can play on the wing."


    "At present, it''s still Gao Xiaodong who is the first choice. Others are the alternatives," he said


    Mendes said: "well, I''ll go to China sometime, or call Gao Xiaodong to South Africa to see the ball. I''ll have a good talk with him, but you should be prepared to activate the penalty."


    Just as Mendes finished speaking, his mobile phone rang. Mendes looked at the displayed number and walked out of the box. After answering the phone, Mendes said, "Jose, President, you talk first. A friend came to see me."


    "Go ahead, go ahead."


    Mendes is now the busiest agent, every day at least to answer hundreds of phone calls, Jose and da Costa did not care.


    Mendes went out, straightened his neckline, turned and walked to a box not far away.


    Pushing the door in, an old man sitting in the box watching the opening ceremony stood up and said, "Mr. Mendes, long time no see. He looks good. It seems that he has made a lot of business again."


    Mendes showed a smile, "Sir Alex, you are really joking. The transfer window has not opened yet. There is no business to do. Otherwise, you will not have leisure to watch the world cup."


    It was Manchester United coach Ferguson who made an appointment with Mendes. When he asked Mendes to sit down and heard what he said, Ferguson said with a smile: "Mr. Mendes, who doesn''t know that you are now covering up everything and almost dominate the transfer of half of European football."


    Mendes said with a smile, "I''m flattered. If Sir Alex says that, I''ll be a public enemy."


    Ferguson said with a smile: "whether it is a public enemy or not, you offended me a lot last season."


    Mendes pretended not to understand the way: "how can I offend Sir Alex, this from where to start."


    Ferguson said with a sneer: "don''t fool me. It''s about Gao Xiaodong. Last season, Gao Xiaodong promised me to come to Manchester United, but he was sent to inter by you and Jose


    Mendez called out, "Sir, that''s fair play. I''m not in favor of anyone."


    Ferguson said with a cold face: "last season has passed. I won''t talk about it. I have to buy Gao Xiaodong this season. You can''t get in the way this time. Otherwise, you Mendes won''t want to send a player to Manchester United if I stay at Manchester United for one day."
