Chapter 79: Fifteen million

Sitting on the bench, Tang Hong put on Braga's autumn sports jacket, and the team doctor was massaging his cramps.
Tang Hong certainly did not have cramps caused by lack of vitamins or calcium, so he only needs physical therapy to recover.
He played two games in five days, and there was nothing left for him. As long as he was on the court, he would go all out and run at a faster pace with high-intensity confrontation, which made his body under 18 years old a little overwhelming.
The game continued, Tang Hong put on his trousers to keep warm and continued to watch the game.
The municipal stadium reverberated with the cheers of the home team fans, and the Europa League was just around the corner!
Athletic Bilbao made two shot threats in the remaining game time, but they were all resolved by Quim bravely. Braga finally defended the 3:2 score and took all 3 points!
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Tang Hong, who was wearing autumn sportswear, stood up and gave his surrounding teammates a smile and high-five, and then walked to the player tunnel.
He can't wait to take a hot shower.
After returning to the locker room, the Braga players took the initiative to give a brief hug to Tang Hong, and then music sounded in the locker room, and the Brazilian players cheered their victory while dancing.
Only when Yaltim returned to the locker room, the music stopped for one minute. The head coach took the initiative to embrace every player and praised their performance today. As for the summary of the game, that is tomorrow.
Then the dressing room continued to play music and dance.
Tang Hong did not join the samba dance troupe after taking a bath because of cramps in his right leg.
Going home early to rest, Tang Hong was doing yoga in the front yard of the villa the next morning someone came to the door.
The weather in Braga in autumn is very good, the breeze is slow and not cold, and the sunshine makes Tang Hong comfortable wearing only short-sleeved shorts.
The electric door of the villa opened and a Mercedes Benz drove in. Mendes, dressed in shirts and trousers, walked quickly with a newspaper under his arm.
Tang Hong asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
A greeting with Chinese characteristics.
Mendes laughed and hugged Tang Hong, which is a common etiquette in Portuguese life.
Mendes smiled and handed him the newspaper, saying: "You should see how the Portuguese media praise you today."
Tang Hong looked at the villa lobby, smiled and shook his head and said, "No need, I have a younger sister. She likes to collect news about me now. Of course it is positive and negative comments. She will simply ignore it."
Mendes rolled up the newspaper again and held it in his hand. He didn't plan to open it again for Tang Hong. He looked down on the city of Braga and asked with a smile, "Braga is still a little smaller. Do you want to go to the big city? "
Tang Hong frowned and said, "Could it be?"
Mendes smiled and said: "You should have thought that the new season has only started for one month. You scored 10 goals for Braga, and three assists. More importantly, your fighting spirit and the display The talents he has made have made the three giants of Portugal unable to ignore it. Right now, Braga Chairman Salvador has three offers from Porto, Benfica, and Sporting at 15 million euros on his desk.
As long as El Salvador agrees and you are willing to transfer, you will be able to leave Braga to compete for the championship in three months. Don't worry about the contract treatment, and I will strive for you to get close to their maximum salary. "
This is not Mendes’ aimlessly. His confidence comes from his friendship and strong posture in negotiations with these giants. After all, there are many of his clients in the three giants of the Portuguese Super League. Those giants have to say to Mendes. It is absolutely impossible without fear, and it is also because Tang Hong himself has the patience and market influence to ask for a high salary.
Tang Hong asked meaningfully: "From Braga to Lisbon or Porto? To a championship team? Isn't the team I'm currently playing for is competing for the championship?"
Mendes was stunned when he came back to his senses, and sighed: "I like your fighting spirit and lofty ambition very much. I'm just telling you that now you have new choices. My advice is if you desire more For a big challenge, Porto is a good place. If they can qualify from the Champions League group stage, then you can play in the Champions League in the second half of the season, but you may not have much time. After all, today's Porto can enter the knockout rounds. It’s already great. Want to enter the quarter-finals or the semi-finals? It reminds me of the time when Jose Mourinho coached Porto. It seems too far away from today."
Tang Hong thought for a moment and replied: "Although I have no nostalgia for the city of Braga, as the place where I made my career debut, the club coach Yaltim has not deceived me. He gave me the opportunity to have I have the opportunity to play professional football here, and now it is considered a small reputation. I just gained the trust of the team. I think I should continue to fight here. Maybe this team is not as strong as Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, but this is the opposite. It will make us work harder, and it will also make us more challenging to fight for the championship.
Another point is that I have now won the main position in Braga, why should I go to the three giants of the Portuguese Super League as a foil for others?
The height of the jump from Braga to the three giants of the Portuguese Super League is not very attractive. If I want to leave Braga, I will leave Portugal directly. "
Mendes nodded to express his understanding. He patted Tang Hong on the shoulder and smiled: "Then you will continue to work hard. To be honest, eight years ago, when I sent 18-year-old Ronaldo to Manchester United, even though I made it in the next eight years Many player transfers, but you are the second one to make me excited now. I want to see how many clubs are willing to take you away from Portugal when this season is over.
Tang Hong, you have a great future, I hope you don't give up halfway. "
Tang Hong smiled and nodded to Mendes.
As an agent, Mendes will also play the role of a player's life mentor in certain aspects, which can help players manage their finances, help them settle their families, and can also guide players to become better. This is the secret of his success.
Tang Hong invited Mendes to have lunch together at home. Mendes did not refuse, but to his surprise, Sun Rou, who looked younger than Tang Hong, prepared an exceptionally rich lunch, from a nutritional point of view. The arrangement is in order.
At the dinner table, he chatted and laughed with Tang Hong and learned more about Tang Hong's past football growth experience.
What surprised Mendes was that Tang Hong spent much more time in football than other players.
For example, Tang Hong has practiced almost every day since he was three years old, and he has focused on strengthening physical fitness and systematic football training since he was eight years old. Starting at the age of 15, he led the team to play a formal game every week. He started his diet five years ago with great emphasis on nutrition.
It is impossible for other players to devote so much time to football every day, because it is a child's nature to play, and secondly, there is also something to learn, and training at a young age is relatively easy and free.
This allowed Mendes to understand that Tang Hong's current strength stems from his unimaginable dedication and his consistent focus on football.
In the afternoon Tang Hong is going to train, Mendes will go with him, because he is going to talk with Salvador.
Regardless of whether the chairman wants to realise Tang Hong immediately, Mendes must at least inform Braga of Tang Hong’s choice, even if Braga wants to send him to the three giants of the Portuguese Super League, six months will not only make a profit. There are 15 million euros, and there is an excessive return in competition, but Tang Hong is unwilling to transfer, then this transaction cannot be completed.
El Salvador was really hesitating, but Mendes' visit made him dismiss the idea.
Mendes said the deal would not happen, and he knew there was no room for turning.
El Salvador is only worried about the end. If Tang Hong transfers freely after two years in Braga, Braga will naturally not lose money, but he will lose a substantial income.
Mendes is exquisite in his work, and of course he will persuade Salvador to put his heart in his stomach.
He needs Braga to continue to give Tang Hong the greatest support, which is also a manifestation of Mendes's best interests for customers.
Moreover, it really made Braga no money in return. This is not the purpose of Mendes, he is always pursuing a win-win result.
