After the interviews on the night of the European Cup championship, the Portuguese team, led by coach Santos, climbed to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Li Zhao took Doulsa with him by the way, finally indirectly bringing him to the Eiffel Tower.

The last scenic spot has also been completed.

Li Zhao is also always paying attention to the performance of the Portuguese team on the other side of the Atlantic. In the eight rounds of the Brazilian League between the brothers when they participated in the European Cup, the Portuguese team achieved a record of three wins, three draws and two losses.

Although the overall performance of Li Zhao and Li Zhao has indeed declined significantly compared to their heyday, half of the opponents they encountered were difficult targets, and most of them were away games, so it is quite impressive to have such a result now.

Not bad. What's more important is that despite their best efforts, they still managed to keep the top spot.

In addition, there are the first round of the Libertadores semi-finals and the first round of the third round of the Brazilian Cup. The opponent in the Libertadores semi-finals is Sao Paulo, an old enemy in the same city. Although the first round match on July 6 is an away game,

The Portuguese still performed stably in the absence of the Li Zhao brothers.

Although the Sao Paulo team led by two goals in the first half, they slacked off from the beginning of the second half. This also brought bad consequences for them. First, Wang Ziyi used a header to pull one back in the 62nd minute, and then Xiao

Luo's world wave before the end of the game shattered the opponent's desire to take all three points at home. In the end, he was very lucky to draw the opponent 2-2.

The opponent in the third round of the Brazilian Cup was Cruzeiro, whose league strength was average. Playing at home, the Portuguese team finally won the game 3-1. It was also because of the good performance of the club team.

Performance, Li Zhao can appear more calm and calm at this moment. But according to the competition schedule there, the next round of the two cup competitions is already imminent, so it can only be delayed for one more day at most.

The Portuguese national team will return to Lisbon the next afternoon, and then the soldiers will be cheered and welcomed by their home fans as they return in triumph. However, Li Zhao does not intend to go back with the team. There are still people at the Portuguese club

There were some things waiting for him to go back and deal with, so he took this opportunity to ask for leave from Santos.

The major European leagues are still in the intermission period at this time, so players who are playing here and have nothing to do for the time being are naturally willing to go back with the team to enjoy the glory, but there are still some people who are playing in leagues in other regions or other places.

He needed to leave early for various reasons. So Li Zhao's situation was not an exception, and Santos agreed directly.

However, I still told Li Zhao some other things, the focus of which was the upcoming Olympic Games, and I hope he can perform well in the Portuguese Olympic team by then.

"Brother, why didn't you call me if you wanted to leave early?" Leonard caught up with him at this moment.

"I left early because I had important things to deal with. But such an opportunity to enjoy the cheers of thousands of people is really rare. It would be a pity to miss it, so if you go back with them, you won't be delayed for a few days. Besides, the club

The situation over there is not bad, there will be no problem if you are missing for the time being." Li Zhao responded with a smile. Although time was a little tight, he still didn't want his cousin to have any regrets.

"It doesn't matter if I'm missing. You obviously don't take me seriously! Since we came here together, we should act together when we go back." Leonard's attitude in asking to go with him was very firm.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Li Zhao felt relieved, but he also felt a little guilty in his heart.

According to the plan, Li Zhao and the others would take a flight directly from Paris back to Sao Paulo, but the time was set on the morning of the third day simply because he still had to wait for the arrival of one person, and he was the madman Mourinho.

The meeting place was chosen at a coffee shop inside the Stade de France. Li Zhao and the others arrived here first and could see the situation inside the stadium through the windows. Compared to the hustle and bustle of yesterday, there was a quiet place at this time.

There were no people around, and it looked unusually empty. Not long after they sat down, someone came and sat next to them, but it was not the target person, but Zidane who came alone. He obviously still remembered the two of them.

The bet that day.

"I didn't pay much attention to the promise I made that day at first, but I didn't expect that you actually won. It's just that I don't like to owe favors, and I've been busy recently. So I'll cash it in while I still have time, and say

What exactly do you want me to do? Of course, the premise must be within the conditions that I can accept." Before Li Zhao could ask what the situation was, Zidane took the lead and said.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Li Zhao couldn't help but wonder.

Zidane nodded, admitting it.

"Okay, what if I want to hire you as the head coach of the Portuguese club? Of course, you can rest assured about the salary, we will give you the most generous treatment." Li Zhao suddenly said.

"Well~..." Zidane's attitude became a little hesitant for a moment, but he must have figured it out soon, and then continued: "If you had talked to me about this a few months earlier, maybe you would have

Possibly, but now that Real Madrid has signed a follow-up coaching contract with me, it will be very troublesome if the contract is broken because of this, and it is not just a matter of money, so it is really difficult to do. Of course, if it is in the future

We still have opportunities to cooperate. How about you change your request!?"

Although Zidane said it more tactfully, the meaning of his words was already very clear, but he did not say anything to death, retaining hope for possible future cooperation.

In fact, this is just his excuse. The contract was settled a long time ago. He will not give up on the great Real Madrid head coach just because of this unreliable bet.

Go to that uncertain place in South America.

"I~..." Li Zhao didn't know what to say for a moment, but at this moment he saw Mourinho wearing a pair of sunglasses and a crisp suit appearing at the door of the coffee shop.

This just alleviated the embarrassing situation between the two of them, so Li Zhao quickly stood up and asked him to come and sit down.

"Although it's only the first time I've met you, I believe our understanding of each other should have started a long time ago. What's more, thanks to your care of my father during the European Cup, now that I have free time, I should do whatever I want

Come and say thank you in person." Mourinho said after taking his seat.

"You're welcome, Felix is ​​also our friend, and he's old, so it's natural to take care of him more. But I think you came here to see me this time for more than just this, right?

Li Zhao asked.

"Since you have already seen it, I will not beat around the bush. Another important purpose of my coming here is to ask you if you are still interested in hiring me as the head coach of your club.

I also know that Su is doing well now. With his ability, he may be lucky enough to win one of the championships if he gives it his all, but if he really wants to win a Grand Slam, it is obviously not enough.

It needs a coach like me to take action.

Of course, I will not sign a long-term contract with you. It will be one to two years at most. I will strive to bring your club to the pinnacle of honor in South American football at this point in time. Then my career will return to Europe.

Bian Di. I know your next stop is also a top league club in Europe. Maybe we can continue to cooperate after this." Mourinho did not hesitate to tell his true purpose straightforwardly.

The situation is different from another parallel world. In this world, although Mourinho also received an invitation from Manchester United after leaving Chelsea at the end of last year, he ultimately failed to successfully join this year. Manchester United’s current coach is still

Dutchman Louis van Gaal, so now Mourinho is still a free man and is eager to have a stage where he can continue to show his abilities. Li Zhao is actually a pretty good choice here, plus they have also been

We have kept in touch with each other, so now that I have really thought about this, I took advantage of this incident to ask what the other party meant.

Although taking the initiative to come to your door like this would make him appear passive during negotiations, he didn't care and was fully confident in his abilities.

"Hoho hoho, good things like this come by chance but cannot be sought. It can be considered your kid's luck. Promise him quickly! It will save me the trouble of being here." Before Li Zhao could speak, Zidane on the side took the lead.

After speaking, it can be said that Mourinho indirectly helped him out.

"Okay, I agree with your request in principle. Of course, the specific matters still need to be discussed in detail after we return to the club, and you will definitely be satisfied with the salary. But if this is the case, it does not mean that there will be no hope for this year.

Big?" There was nothing to hesitate. Li Zhao agreed on the spot and also raised his own questions.

"This is not necessarily true, because I have done enough homework on the situation of your club and the next work before this. It can be said that except for the communication with the players, which still needs to be taken slowly, most other

Everything can be started quickly. If you are lucky enough, you may have the opportunity to achieve all your goals in one go this year." Mourinho responded.

"If that's the case, that would be great. By the way, before going to the club, do you still need to go back home to prepare?" Li Zhao asked again.

"No need, I have packed everything I need to prepare in advance. And my father has returned home now, and many people are taking care of him, so I don't have to worry about anything anymore," Mourinho said.

"Hey, it seems that you are really well prepared! Now that you have made a decision, it's time for me to say goodbye."

As he spoke, Zidane stood up and walked out, but stopped when he was near the door of the store. Finally, he turned around and said: "I can't fulfill my promise today, but I won't just default on it. I'll wait for you."

When you come to Europe to play football, I will definitely support you. If there is anything you can't handle, I will try my best to help you deal with it."

After Zidane left for a while, Li Zhao withdrew his gaze. At this time, Mourinho suddenly said: "By the way, I have been observing the situation of your club for a long time, but the more contact I have, the more

The more I became confused, I also discovered a strange phenomenon, so I always had questions in my mind."

"Please tell me!" Li Zhao also turned his attention back, and he also paid great attention to Mourinho's problem.

So Mourinho continued: "At first, I was surprised by your terrifying growth rate, but later on it was no longer surprising. What surprised me even more was your C nationality teammates.

This also includes your cousin. Although they are still far behind you, their growth rate is definitely comparable to that of ordinary stars. Before that, they were compared with those who studied abroad in country C.
