163 Mendes
After Mark celebrated, the game continued, but the time has reached the injury stoppage time, with six minutes of injury stoppage time.
This is because after Sissoko was sent off, Valencia players wasted a lot of time while chatting around the referee, and Mark's goal celebration was also a waste of time.[]
So it is easy to understand that there is such a long time of injury stoppage time, and the time left for both players is only the last six minutes left.
Ranieri also made the last substitution adjustment in this game. He did not replace the offensive player, but he replaced it with a defensive player.
Ranieli replaced Mista and replaced centre-back Navarro.
"It seems that coach Ranieri is very satisfied with the score on the court," Duan Xuange also said sarcastically: "Atlanie Madrid just scored a goal and coach Ranieri actually replaced a central defender and then replaced a forward player."
However, Duan Xuan Ge seemed to think that he might offend many Valencia fans by saying this to Ranieri, so he changed his mind and said: "Actually, there is no way to do this. After all, there is one player in Valencia, and coach Ranieri has no better way."
"Let's score another goal for them," Mark also shouted loudly to his teammates.
After Mark scored in this game, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, because before the start of this game, Madrid's Marca and Ass were not very optimistic about Atletico Madrid's prospects.
Although Mark scored a hat-trick in the last cup game, the two media also believed that Mark could not score goals in the game of a strong team.
Mark's recovery is only short-lived. Like a La Liga strong team like Valencia, Mark has no way to score goals, and Atletico Madrid has no way to score points at Valencia's home court.
Marca and Ass are both mouthpieces of Atletico Madrid's city rival Real Madrid. They have always stood on the Real Madrid camp to discredit any Real Madrid enemy.
As the main enemy of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid naturally cannot let these two media go. Speaking of which, Atletico Madrid is really a tragic one.
There is no mouthpiece newspaper to report on them at all. It was only this year that a newspaper dedicated to Atletico Madrid was established, which is the Madrid Economic Post.
But the future of this newspaper is closely related to the performance of Atletico Madrid. You should know that it is not easy to set up a newspaper company like Marca and Ass in Madrid.
The game continues now, and Ranieri's substitution has also had a certain effect. Mark cannot get too good opportunities in the intensive defense lineup.
Although Mark also had two long shots with good quality on the perimeter at the last moment, they were saved by Canisales, and the two sides were tied again in the final game.
After the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Atletico Madrid tied Valencia away.
However, there are no smiles on the faces of the players on both sides. Perhaps they think they should win this game.
Because Valencia, as the champion team of last season, should not be equalized at the end of the game against Atletico Madrid, this is something that these players cannot accept.
Valencia's performance in this game was better than Atletico Madrid, although Mark successfully suppressed Valencia's offense on the right.
However, Valencia's right offense also suppressed Atletico Madrid's left offense.
First of all, the fans of Valencia who played at home were not satisfied with this result. They felt that the match against Atletico Madrid should win.
And their fans also have a reasonable excuse, that is, if Sissoko is not sent off, the final victory will definitely belong to Valencia.
In fact, this is also a performance of their liking for Valencia. Sissoko's foul on Mark should have been sent off for a long time, so there is no problem with the penalty.
Atletico Madrid's fans who cheered for the team away were also very regretful. In their opinion, if Mark's cross quality could be higher and Salva's condition was better, it would be possible for the team to win the game.
But after all, there is no if in football games, and the players can only recover this regret in the next game.
After the game, Spanish football also imposed additional punishments on Sissoko. He was suspended for five games for his uncool behavior on the court, which is a serious punishment for a young player.
However, Mark would not care about Sissoko's punishment. Mark was ready to return to Madrid by plane, and his teammates were chatting on the plane.
"Mark, where will we celebrate after we go back?" a teammate asked Mark.
"I want to go home to accompany my girlfriend," Mark said with some discooperation.
"Tsk, Mark, you are really a good boyfriend." Some teammates teased him a little dissatisfied with Mark's discoital cooperation.
Mark also smiled and didn't say much, because foreigners and Chinese people have different ideas, so Mark was unwilling to explain too much.
Fortunately, Mark is not the only low-key player of Atletico Madrid. Van der Fate and Torres are also very low-key, and they are also representatives of Mr. Hao.
Moreover, Van der Fate is already married, and Mark is nothing compared to them. The other players of Atletico Madrid are unwilling to continue to sarcastically sarcastic at Mark.
Moreover, it is not something that these teammates can do to investigate more about Mark's private life, because after all, we are just teammates, and we fight side by side during the game, and after the game, we still have a private life.
Besides, Mark has a better relationship with Torres and Van der Fate at Atletico Madrid, and the relationship between other players and Mark can only be said to be average.
The car arrived in Madrid quickly, and the players broke up on their own, and some players went to find their private programs.
"I won't interfere with your private life, but it won't affect your condition on the court," Cooper said to the players when the players broke up. "Our team will have a long time to play double games a week, so you must maintain good physical fitness."
After seeing Cooper's expression without a smile, the players nodded with fear. This strict Argentinian can be said to be notorious in Spain. He is famous for his strictness towards the players. Many players of Atletico Madrid are still very afraid of Cooper.
It was still twelve o'clock when Mark returned home. If he were in China, he would have already gone to bed. However, this place is the enthusiastic Madrid. Although it is a suburb of Madrid, the whole family seems to have not slept.
"Mark, you are back, thank you for your hard game, do you want to eat something?" Colos also stood up and greeted Mark after seeing him come back and said to Mark.
"No need, I'll wash and go to bed," Mark said after holding Kroos' waist.
"Ah..." Colos also shouted in a coquettish voice.
"Let's wash together." Mark directly carried Colos upstairs.
"It's coming again..." Momo and Yu Meng said at the same time.
The next day, Mark woke up and asked Mark silently while having dinner, "Mark, how are you thinking about the agent?"
"I've considered it almost all, but I don't think it's necessary to do this. If I'm going to work hard on business development, I believe there's just a team of agents. There's no need for a professional agent." Mark also told Momo about his considerations over the past few days.
After listening to Momo, he nodded. He thought what Mark said was quite reasonable. The general agent team of course included all aspects of the players' operations.
Including hype, players' business contracts, and promotion of players, Mark naturally doesn't want to leave this matter to others, but Momo still can't find time to do such a thing, so Mark decided to wait and Momo.
"I wonder if I can recommend another football agent to you?" Momo asked tentatively.
Mark didn't know what Momo meant, because Momo had recommended several football agents to Mark before, and these football agents were the best in Spain. Mark didn't know why Momo had such a move to recommend football competitors to Mark.
"Then tell me." Mark didn't give Momo's face either.
"In 2004, with the help of Porto Porto's team to win the European Champions League, Jorge Mendes sent several players and Mourinho to Chelsea. While changing Porto to the largest income in history, he also completed the first explosion of his career. Mendes is also the hottest football agent in Europe. If he becomes your football agent, I will be relieved." Momo suggested to Mark.
Mark naturally knew what Momo meant, and he also heard about Mendes. This Portuguese is indeed a very outstanding football agent, and his players are also relatively strong. Mark's favorite is his coach Mourinho. The Madman coach is attacking strongly at Chelsea. He has so far occupied the top position in the Premier League standings, and it is very hopeful to continue his glory during his Porto period.
"I have also been to his office in Portugal to meet him. Mendes is a mysterious success. He has transformed from a Portuguese nightclub owner ten years ago to become a recognized super agent now. This Lisbon-born "giant" agent is only in his 40s. His agency is called "Professional Athlete Sports Career Management Company" and has a luxurious office in Porto. From the name of the company, it can be seen that Mendes is not only satisfied with the buying and selling of players, but also responsible for providing athletes with the best professional design. Mendes believes that the task of players is to play football, and all other matters are handled by the agent, including food, clothing, housing and transportation." Momo said slowly to Mark: "As long as you can sign a contract with him, you don't need to worry about everything except playing football."
Mark felt that when Momo said something like Mendes, Mark also had the expectation to meet him. Anyway, Mark didn't like to care about these trivial things. Mark just wanted to play football and leave other things to the agent to handle. Momo did this before, and the two of them cooperated very well.
"No problem, I can arrange it for you today. He can come to Spain at any time, and Mendes is also very interested in signing a contract with you." Momo agreed readily.
If Mark hadn't had some understanding of Momo, then Mark would have doubted whether Momo had taken Mendes' benefits before and why he talked about Mendes everywhere.
In fact, this is also the reason why Momo and Mendes were moved by his words after meeting him. Mendes' plan for Mark was similar to Momo's plan for Mark, so Momo also felt at ease to hand over Mark to him.
In Momo's heart, Mark will always be like a little brother. Momo can't bear to let Mark suffer a little grievance. Even the football agent Momo has to give Mark the best.
Soon in the evening, Mark met Mendes and his group, including Mendes' nephew, who came here as a promotional staff member of Mendes' football agency.
"Hello, Mark, I have known you for a long time and I also appreciate your skills. I am so happy to meet this time." Mendes said to Mark very politely after seeing him.
Mark also greeted Mendes enthusiastically, but Mark had no impression of Mendes. In Mark's opinion, the Portuguese expression was very hypocritical, like a typical politician.
In fact, this has a certain relationship with Mendes' background. Mendes' own experience is indeed legendary. His father is a government official and his mother is a housewife. Mendes was a player when he was young and played as a left winger. However, he spent most of his time playing in a Class C club. But in his time as a player, Mendes had already revealed his business acumen and he had contracted the right to publish advertisements on the exterior wall of the stadium.
"I don't know what you think about the business development of professional players." Mark sat down without going around the corner, and asked Mendes directly. Anyway, there was only a cooperative relationship between Mark and Mendes and there was no friendship, so Mark naturally didn't need to be polite.
"You should know that I opened a football video rental and sales business in my early years, which made me know the information of players all over the world and also made me understand the meaning of portrait rights." Mendes recalled that he also opened a football video rental and sales store. In fact, Mendes's current giant company started due to the original video store.
"Then how do you deal with my career planning in the future?" Mark continued to ask.
This should have been asked after signing the contract, but Mark was not relieved, so Mark was going to ask now.
"In order to express my sincerity, I can tell you that both Ronaldo and Mourinho are very good at "making shows". In fact, many of these "shows" are arranged by me, because I hope that the players (coaches) I manage can attract the media, the better." Mendes showed his sincerity and said to Mark.
Mendes' words also attracted Mark's attention, because if this news was sold to the tabloids, it would definitely be rewarded, but Mendes told Mark directly without reservation, which means sincerity.
Mark's favor for Mendes suddenly increased a lot. In fact, Mark still likes people who are more sincere to his own people, so even after signing with Mendes, it is just that both parties are mutually beneficial. However, Mark felt that everyone had something to say and said it was okay, and Mendes obviously had a good appetite for Mark.
"I wonder what players and coaches you like?" Mark also asked some private questions.
"My favorite among the players before was Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano is the "jewel in the crown". The one I admire most among the coaches is Mourinho, who is a champion coach." Mendes first praised his Portuguese fellow and his signed player. Then he paused and said: "But I like the player's roster to add one, that is Mark, your growth is like a monster. I'm sorry that I use the word monster, maybe Superman is more appropriate."
Mark smiled after hearing Mendes' words. He felt that Mendes is still very humorous sometimes, and such an agent is indeed easy to give people a favor, which is good.
"Mendes himself tried to be low-key. Although his name appears in mainstream European sports media every day, it is not easy for the media to find him. He never stole the limelight from the players," Momo said on behalf of Mendes.
The two sides also talked about some topics off the topic together. Anyway, Mark's questions were almost done. Of course, Mendes also used his eloquence and always praised Mark and Colos as golden boys and jade girls, which also won the favor of the hostess of the Mark family.
Both sides had a supper at Mark's house. Mendes tasted such a beautiful Chinese meal for the first time. During the chat with Mark, Mendes also had a further understanding of Chinese culture.
"It's a great time to chat with you. I'm looking forward to becoming a partner with you, but I still have a few alternative lists, so please allow me to reply to you in a few days." After the chat between the two parties, Mark said to Mendes. Although Mark has a good impression of Mendes, Mark thinks this matter is very important. The agent is the most important candidate around the player, and Mark needs to be careful.
Although Mark completely believed in the choice of silent, Mark also hoped to meet a few more people. It was just like buying things. It was always right to compare shopping.
Chapter completed!
