He wants to sign a contract with Linsen. He needs to know Linsen. He is going to let Linsen sign a contract with Manchester City. He must know the most important person. This person is Manchester City President Mubarak.
To some extent, Mendes and Mubarak actually have something in common, that is, they are both businessmen, and they both regard football as a business. Of course, their different experiences doomed them to be different people.
Although Mendes played football, his former identity is best known as a video rental vendor. Because this identity can better reflect Mendes’ success and inspiration, just as many people always say that Mourinho used to be a translator, it is this identity that the Portuguese gradually became the shape of the current brokerage tycoon. When Mendes, people prefer a word that is fine.
Mubarak, on the other hand, is another kind of businessman. After he graduated from the best education in the world, he was given the opportunity to help the richest people in the world manage their business. Before he became the president of Manchester City, he was influenced by the ivory tower of Mansour family, which made Mubarak’s theory show elegance in appearance and temperament.
Mendes has not dealt with people like Mubarak. They always like to talk about plans and set rules for everything, and then do things step by step. However, it is undeniable that such people are very rational. When negotiating with them, it is difficult for you to influence their judgment through other things. Before the meeting, Mendes must make sure that his side is prepared to deal with various problems.
Mendes knew Mubarak, but Mendes probably wouldn’t have thought Mubarak knew someone, but it wasn’t him but Lin Sen.
One fact that no one knows is that Mubarak actually met Linsen. Of course, at that time, he didn’t know that Linsen was the head coach of Malaga, because Linsen had just signed a contract with Malaga and he had not set foot in football.
At that time, a friend of his who was wearing a robe accidentally stepped on the stairs and fell to his arm. The crew sent him a broadcast to look for a doctor, and they found Lin Sen. In less than two minutes, Lin Sen turned his friend who was sweating with pain into a normal person and let him watch him. He didn’t ask what happened after Lin Sen went, but he knew what happened at a glance, which of course left a deeper impression on Mubarak, and also because of Lin Sen’s subsequent style.
Mubarak himself may never meet this China person again in his life. Of course, this is not a pity until he accepted Mansour’s entrustment to be the president of Manchester City and then saw Linsen’s face again by chance, which surprised Mubarak. He even deliberately checked Linsen’s information in his spare time, of course, limited to the Internet, and then he found that he really found an interesting person, a team doctor, a coach, Atletico Madrid and Malaga … It is obviously much more exciting than Mubarak Linsen’s life, which has been smooth since birth.
By all accounts, Mendes really attracted Mubarak’s attention for the third time with the name of Linsen, and to be exact, this time was Mubarak’s real attention to Linsen because this time was of great importance.
---------------
Geographically speaking, Manchester is not the largest city in Britain, but geographically speaking, it is the largest city in Britain. Even in the whole European football, it is also the most important. Figure 1 Manchester owes its football status to a team in this city, that is, Manchester United, and of course, to one person, that is, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Since the sixth century, Ferguson, who succeeded Atkinson in charge of Manchester United, has been in charge for 23 years and will be extended to rule. He has brought eleven league titles, two champions league titles and countless other cup titles to Manchester. The old jazz is a step away from his biggest dream of "pulling Liverpool from the top of the Premier League", which was considered a joke at that time.
It can be said that without Ferguson, there would be no Manchester United now
Of course, for coming to Manchester Linsen, he didn’t come to look forward to Ferguson’s miracle, he came to look for the opportunity to become sworn enemies with Ferguson
When Tomlinson and Mendes landed at Manchester International Airport, it was unexpected that a reporter had been waiting for an interview at the airport. Although before Tomlinson could react, Mendes helped Tomlinson block the car with a professional smile, and then they sat together and went straight to the city square. Tomlinson was in distress situation.
Obviously, this is Mendes’ tactics again. Although I don’t know why Mendes wants to appear in Manchester City, it is certain that the appearance of those reporters is no accident.
The meeting place was set in a coffee shop in the city square, which was officially designated by Manchester City as a celebration place, not in the headquarters of Manchester City. This meant the same thing as an interview with Lin Sen in Malaga. Obviously, the other party didn’t recognize this meeting as a formal meeting, although it didn’t seem to be much different from a formal meeting from the level.
Mendes kept telling Tomlinson what to pay attention to and what to focus on when we met for a while, just like a mother recalling an interview. Tomlinson couldn’t help feeling something in her heart, but the scenery outside the car window was different. Compared with Malaga, Manchester, the second most prosperous city in Britain and the first industrial city in the world, was more in line with many people’s definition of a city, such as towering buildings, dense traffic and Gothic buildings full of historical weight …
Mendes made a few phone calls. Lin Sen didn’t deliberately listen to what Mendes said, but some words still could tell that he was communicating with people in Manchester City, which is probably when confirming the place. Wait until the car came to the city square. Mendes and Lin Sen walked to a cafe for a few minutes.
It was almost ten minutes before the scheduled meeting, which made Linsen not think that two people were already waiting when he and Mendes entered the box.
An Arab and an Englishman.
Mubarak looked up when he saw Mendes push the door and went in, but his eyes were not on Mendes, but on Lin Sen’s back.
Mubarak knew Linsen, but Linsen didn’t know Mubarak at that time. He took a look at the injured man and then pulled away. It took less than five minutes to go back and forth, let alone Mubarak, the injured Arab. Now he doesn’t know him either.
After confirming that Linsen didn’t recognize himself, Mubarak smiled and then got up and held out his hand.
Shake hands, introduce yourself, greet.
Although both sides try to downplay the dignified atmosphere of the interview and make it look more like a few friends getting together to talk, this is the simple ceremony of the interview. After the ceremony, Mubarak did not tell Linsen that they had met, and both sides entered the topic.
"Before we start today’s topic, we hope Mr. Lin can understand that if we both want to keep silent about this meeting today," Gary Cook said. Obviously, he was taking precautions, suggesting that Mr. Lin was not the only choice for Manchester City.
But as soon as this sentence came out, Mendes frowned and said, "I’m afraid it’s hard not to tell you that a reporter saw us when we were on the plane."
"reporter?" Gary Cook was stunned.
"But maybe someone leaked the news." Mendes looked straight at the other party and seemed to recognize that the air leak must be from Manchester City.
"How is that possible …" Gary Cook frowned. He didn’t expect this to happen.
Looking at Mendes, Lin Sen shook his head and smiled bitterly. Is this what Mendes wants? Will the other army from the beginning?
"No, let’s get down to business," Mubarak said faintly, and immediately skipped the matter. "I personally appreciate Lin’s work in Malaga, but I have a question. It seems that Malaga plays defensive football in the season. Is this your coaching style?"
Mubarak’s first question made Mendes frown.
Every team has its own style. Some clubs accept the team to adapt to the head coach, while others need the head coach to adapt to the team. What style football team is Manchester City? Mark Hughes led Manchester City to play offensive football in the season, but before the season, he packed up and accepted Kassel’s offense and defense, which was more balanced, but he still failed to say the club.
What kind of answer is what Manchester City wants? In fact, it is very likely that no one will know except Mubarak. Because there is no standard answer, this question actually belongs to Mendes’ most worrying uncontrollable problem because it has something to do with Linsen’s ability and style.
At this time, Mendes stretched out a hand and put it on the table at will.
That’s what he agreed with Tomlinson, or gave Tomlinson a signal that was vague.
Chapter DiYiLing Truth
Before the chapter, I thanked the two friends for the rain and the rain, and they were rewarded for saving their lives.
------------------------------
The so-called vagueness does not mean not answering, but being ambiguous.
Because for Linsen, the probability of Mubarak’s answer to this question is 50%, and Linsen can give an ambiguous answer.
Tomlinson naturally knows what Mendes means, but now he doesn’t want to be vague.
If Tomlinson didn’t want to make a simple meeting so complicated as a battlefield, he needed to cheat, but Mendes thought it was right. Tomlinson cherished this opportunity very much. If he could enter Manchester City, it would always be a big step. Tomlinson asked Mendes for some things, but most of them chose to cooperate, but cooperation was selective.
Just like Mubarak, if the interview is more popular, it’s like a blind date. You can lie about anything except when the other person asks you what kind of person you are. Because blind date is a marriage, it’s not a one-off deal. This is bound to bring everything back to the truth. The lie will be exposed one day. Of course, Lin Sen can give Mubarak a vague answer, but if the other person doesn’t recognize his teaching style, Lin Sen thinks it may be really unnecessary to continue talking.
Mendes never prepares for war.
