The meeting between Hao Qiang and Mendes caused numerous undercurrents in Naples.
De Laurentiis immediately called Mazzarri after learning the news.
"Mendez came to Naples, did you hear the news before?"
Mazari is watching the news, and the local media is particularly sensitive.
In fact, they were paying attention to Hao Qiang's every move all the time.
Even though Hao Qiang and Six Golden Flowers are "neighbors", their close interactions have already been exposed by the media.
But the local Naples fans didn't care.
Just tidbits.
They don't care what Hao Qiang is like in life.
Maradona's illegitimate children are scattered throughout Europe and South America.
Besides, there is no evidence to prove anything, so it’s just a chat after dinner.
But Mendes' arrival was unusual.
Reporters from local media and self-media people gathered on the street outside the restaurant, trying to follow up and report the meeting between Hao Qiang and his agent as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, if players and agents need to communicate, they must do so over the phone to ensure privacy.
If someone can do something so ostentatious, the outside world will understand that something big will happen.
It may be sending a signal to Naples, or it may be sending a signal to the European giants: it’s time to take action!
Mazari suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
He knew very well that if Hao Qiang left, Naples' combat effectiveness would inevitably drop.
"No, I know nothing about what happened today. Has Mendes contacted the club before? Did he make a request?"
Mazzarri thought that before such a big moment came, the player's agent should at least have negotiated with Naples.
Unless you are determined to leave.
De Laurentiis was in a state of confusion.
"No, I don't know how to talk to him about a contract extension, and Mendes has shown no signs of starting contract extension negotiations."
"That's bad!"
"Yes, but I don't think Hao Qiang will do this. This is a public break with Naples."
"There will be fans who don't understand, but they cannot deny his contribution to Naples."
"We are very passive now and hope it will not affect the team's last two games."
"There will definitely be an impact. Hao Qiang chose the worst time. He should know that once Naples fails to win the championship, disappointed people will put the blame on him."
"I don't think he lacks this sense, but now he can't explain what's happening."
"We can only wait for the results."
"Perhaps a team will make an offer to Naples soon."
Hao Qiang publicly released a signal and the new owner quoted a price.
This has become a common rhythm and process in the transfer of European football stars.
In the restaurant.
As the host, Hao Qiang asked Mendes to order first.
After the waiter left with the menu, Hao Qiang smiled at Mendes and said, "I heard some rumors. Ronaldo doesn't want me to go to the Bernabeu, right?"
Even though Mendes had foreseen that the outcome of the dinner would not make him happy, he did not hide it out of respect and professionalism for the successful cooperation between the two over the past four years.
Openness and honesty are the basis of mutual trust.
Besides, he couldn't estimate how bad the final result would be. He might be able to recover some losses without resorting to quarrels or playing tricks.
Furthermore, there is only so much time to come, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.
Why make the relationship so tense?
"Yes, at Real Madrid he likes Benzema, that's the official reason, but privately I can say he's worried about you taking away his limelight, especially if you go to the Bernabeu and Real Madrid are successful,
Then his efforts at Real Madrid over the past few years will become meaningless.
The football field is a vanity fair, and the core is competition. You should be able to understand that.
But I have a different view on this. If I can force Florentino to compromise on his image rights in the process of recommending you to the Bernabeu, it will ultimately be good for Ronaldo.
However, given his current height, it cannot be said that he does not care about interests, but he cares more about his own image. He still insists that he should be the sign of Real Madrid and not be replaced."
Hao Qiang's smile grew wider and asked: "Did I make him feel threatened?"
Mendes laughed.
"If you go to any team, the star of that team will be threatened. The Spanish media only exposed Madrid. Do you want to know the story in Barcelona?"
Hao Qiang said in surprise: "Does Barcelona also want to sign me?"
Mendes nodded slightly and asked: "What do you think the attitude of the Barcelona locker room is?"
Hao Qiang thought for a moment and said: "I must disagree, otherwise there should be news by now. After all, Barcelona has won the La Liga championship and their season is over."
"Yes, Xavi and Messi are more supportive of the club signing Neymar from Brazil. I don't know the details, but I guess Barcelona is rejecting your joining based on the characteristics of their style of play. My staff team believes that
, although this is not necessarily led by Messi, the deeper concern within Barcelona is that if you join the team, then they may have to give up the technical and tactical play they have insisted on for many years and reorganize a play style around you. This
It’s what they don’t want to do.”
Hao Qiang was not disappointed or disappointed at all.
Having been in European football for many years, he has set his sights not only on wealthy clubs, but especially on successful wealthy clubs.
He smiled and said: "I can understand that Xavi and Iniesta, these players used to live in the shadow of Ronaldinho and finally took charge of their own affairs. Of course they must stick to themselves.
Jorge, which team do you think I should join next?"
Mendes smiled bitterly and said: "You should have already felt that the stronger and more valuable a star is, the higher he goes, the more he can't help himself.
Some things are beyond your control.
It is a known fact that you have to leave Naples. It is nothing more than time. The earliest is this summer, and the latest is next summer.
When you enter the transfer market, where can you go?
Depends on how many teams bid.
If you want to go to Manchester United, Arsenal, or Bayern Munich, it is impossible for them to pay more than 100 million euros in transfer fees.
You want to go to Madrid or Barcelona, but a complex mix of factors will ultimately dash your hopes.
You can only choose passively. If you have to go to a team you want to go to, then you have to be prepared to sacrifice your interests, maybe not just your interests, but also your reputation.
Because Napoli will definitely want to get a huge return from you."
Hao Qiang nodded thoughtfully and said: "You are right, thank you for your suggestion.
You should also have had a hunch that today I am going to announce the termination of cooperation with you.
Overall, I have been very satisfied with your service over the past four years.
But as you said, I have reached a certain height, and you can no longer do your best to create benefits for me wholeheartedly."
Coming!
Mendes closed his eyes, a bitter look on his expression.
He didn't want to shamelessly argue with Hao Qiang.
It makes no sense.
Hao Qiang has his own judgment.
There are not many secrets in reality.
The simplest example is in front of us, during the Golden Globe Award competition, Mendes, as an agent, must carry out public relations and publicity in front of and behind the scenes.
Who to support?
If an international brand wants to enter football and find a brand spokesperson, and contacts Mendes, who would he recommend to the brand?
Recommend both of them and let the brand make its own decision?
When Hao Qiang has a team dedicated to serving him, his team will definitely do their best to promote cooperation, sign the contract, and let Hao Qiang earn the money!
This is what maximizes benefits.
Just let it happen?
Do you think this is playing house?
Mendes opened his eyes and his expression returned to normal.
He showed no negative emotions of anger or dissatisfaction and seemed only briefly sad.
At this time, he could still maintain his grace and smiled at Hao Qiang: "Can I know your next plan? Find a new agent. I know all the top ten agents in European football. I can give you some
suggestion."
Hao Qiang shook his head and said: "I will have my own team. As you said, since I can't help myself, I am actually not very dependent on my agent, at least in terms of transfers.
I think I should enter a more stable stage, reduce the frequency of transfers, go to a team with great ambitions and strength, and strive to continue success in my golden age, or create greater glory.
The rest is for my team to realize business value with me as the center."
Mendes approves of Hao Qiang's plan.
He should have stabilized.
From Portugal to France, from France to Germany and now in Italy.
In just four years, he has come a long way.
But this journey is worth every step!
When the meal was almost done, Mendes picked up the wine glass and said to Hao Qiang: "I wish you all the best in the future and a brilliant career."
Hao Qiang picked up the water glass and clinked it with him.
"Maybe we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"You know I won't refuse your call."
"Haha, even if you refuse to accept the call, there will be many opportunities for us to meet."
For example, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
After the two had a pleasant meal, Hao Qiang paid the bill, and then they walked out of the restaurant together.
As soon as I walked out, all the reporters who were waiting for me swarmed in and rushed towards me.
The two people were surrounded by a flurry of questions.
Even local TV and radio stations are broadcasting it live!
Hao Qiang pressed his hands, but he did not speak.
Mendes said generously: "I don't want you to make things up, so I will tell you as soon as possible that the contract between Hao Qiang and I will expire after the season, and we will not renew it at that time. This is what we are doing
Things discussed here.
I hope you will not spread rumors to have a negative impact on Hao Qiang. Hao Qiang and I are still very good friends, and I wish him to win Serie A and the Champions League."
Hao Qiang and Mendes smiled, shook hands and hugged, and then Hao Qiang watched Mendes get into the car and leave.
The reporters were stunned!
Did you two break up?
This is a situation that no one expected to happen.
So someone asked Hao Qiang relentlessly if he wanted to transfer.
Hao Qiang drove away without saying a word.
Only the local media people are left messy in the wind!
