Chapter 80 Real Madrid and Barcelona can’t sit still anymore
Catalonia, inside the Barcelona club.
Barcelona Chairman Rosell hung up the phone with a smile, but the next second, his face suddenly turned gloomy.
Damn Guardiola!
Damn Lin Quan!
Russell cursed a few words in his mind, and then forced himself to calm down.
The person who just called him was Silvio Berlusconi, the chairman of Serie A giant AC Milan. The other party was interested in Lin Quan, who had performed well in the Bundesliga and the national team, and asked if he could sell Lin Quan to AC Milan. They were willing to pay 45 million euros. Transfer fee compensates Barcelona!
In fact, Berlusconi rarely comes forward on AC Milan's signing issues. These matters are resolved by his old partner Galliani.
But this time the other party took action personally. On the surface it was to show him respect as the chairman of Barcelona, but in fact it was because the other party was extremely eager to take Lin Quan away.
The winter break hasn't even arrived yet, but the other party is already so impatient.
Even if Russell is blind, he knows that this young man in his team is completely popular.
However, Barcelona cannot earn this transfer fee even if they want to!
Their contract renewal with Lin Quan has not yet been completed, and there is only half a year left on the contract. No one will be stupid enough to pay a large transfer fee for a half-year contract!
As long as someone leaks the contents of the contract, they will lose everything and not make a penny.
Even if someone is willing to pay for it, it is estimated that they will just pay to terminate the contract according to the liquidated damages of 5 million, and they will not be given an extra cent.
No one would be stupid enough to give them 40 million euros for free!
Moreover, to sell players, they also need to obtain the consent of the players themselves. If Lin Quan does not agree, they will have no way to sell them.
By then, let alone 45 million euros, even if it is 450 million euros, they can only watch.
Russell felt very angry when he thought of this.
Damn brat, why don’t you renew your contract with Barcelona?
As long as he renews his contract with Barcelona, the initiative will be in Barcelona's hands. Barcelona will have the initiative in what they want to do with him.
But now, Barcelona is completely in a passive and disadvantageous position.
If the other party refuses to renew the contract, it means they can't do anything.
It's like guarding a mine but having no way to exploit it.
This must be secretly instigated by Guardiola, who wants to go against him everywhere!
Russell blamed the problem on Lin Quan's adoptive father Guardiola, without realizing that this was a problem of his own making.
Meanwhile, in a restaurant in Catalonia, Real Madrid's president met the man he wanted to meet.
"This is what you want, what you promised me, don't forget it!"
"Don't worry Luis, as long as you resign from Barcelona, Celta's coaching position is always ready for you."
Celta is Real Madrid's younger brother, and the relationship between the two clubs is very close. Real Madrid has huge influence in Celta, and Celta's current coach position is vacant. Florentino's promise does not seem to be there. It’s not empty talk.
Enrique nodded and handed the things to the other party.
Lafayette casually opened the information brought by the other party, although he tried to pretend to be calm and calm.
But after seeing a certain piece of content, his hands that were shaking slightly with excitement still betrayed his heart.
However, Enrique opposite did not notice this. At this time, he was as guilty as a thief, looking around nervously, for fear of being discovered.
Fortunately, the location of this restaurant is very secret, and Florentino was cautious enough to reserve the place in advance, so no one noticed them.
After reading the entire information, Florentino had a smile on his face:
Russell, Russell, why are you so careless!
Such a gem in the youth team actually refused to renew his contract with the other party, and instead wanted to expel him.
Now it’s okay, let’s take it off, right?
If you don’t want it, then I won’t be polite!
He had a hunch that if Lin Quan could really be brought back to the Bernabeu from Camp Nou, the sensation and impact caused by this transfer would probably be greater than the impact he had when he lured Figo from Barcelona!
After defeating Belarus, the Spanish national team flew back to Spain from Eastern Europe non-stop and began to prepare for the upcoming group focus match with the French team.
The French team has a strong forward line. Ribery, Giroud, and Benzema are all the main forwards or wingers of wealthy teams.
However, their midfield strength is one level weaker than that of the Spanish national team. In the quarter-finals of the European Cup four months ago, Spain defeated the French team with a score of 2:0 and eliminated them.
In the historical confrontation data between the two teams, Spain has the upper hand with 14 wins, 10 losses and 7 draws.
In the past ten years, Spain has only lost to France in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup. Since then, the two teams have met three times, and Spain has maintained a complete victory.
Although they have the advantage on paper, the historical confrontation data is in their favor.
However, Spain still did not dare to be careless. Del Bosque and his assistants carefully studied the characteristics of the opponent and made targeted arrangements.
The French team is characterized by being black, rough and tough, with a high proportion of black players among their players. These players have good physical fitness, fast speed and good physical fitness.
The disadvantage is that it is not flexible enough and lacks creativity.
Since Zidane retired, there has never been that kind of dazzling midfield master in the French team.
Take a look at France’s midfielder: Allou Diarra (Marseille), Matuidi (Paris Saint-Germain), M’Vila (Rennes), Martin (Sochaux), Cabaye (Newcastle), Malu Da (Chelsea), Nasri (Manchester City).
Except for Nasri, everyone here is a group of rough guys, all engineer-type players.
If you let them play tricks, they will definitely not be able to play, so the French team relies on counterattack speed and impact to win.
But not to mention, Spain is quite afraid of this kind of dark and tough midfielder.
The opponent has no skills, but has strong impact and wide interception range!
Just like Real Madrid's Monk Pepe, anyone would be frightened if they encountered three or four of them.
"Don't give the opponent a chance to foul, pass the ball up, add one more pass, and don't stick to the ball too much. The French team has several fast forwards. It is very dangerous for them to intercept the ball and counterattack. Do you understand? "
Del Bosque is not called a famous coach for nothing. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of his team very well, and he also knows the characteristics of his opponents.
Therefore, I decided to use my strengths and avoid weaknesses, give full play to my own strengths, and use ball control tactics and passing and cutting tactics to defeat strong opponents.
In addition, taking advantage of the opponent's strong defense and easy fouling characteristics, Bosque also added drills on set-piece tactics.
There are many free kick masters in the Spanish team, and Lin Quan had no intention of joining in the fun.
As a result, Iniesta wanted to compete with him, so Lin Quan had no choice but to show off his skills.
"How about it?"
Xavi, Fabregas, Silva and others stood nearby and commented on their free kick skills.
"Lin's free kicks are more versatile, and Xavi's are more imaginative."
Fabregas looked at them for a while and confirmed the strength of the two.
Silva nodded in agreement.
Harvey said:
"I'm asking you, did you think of anything when you saw Lin's free kick?"
What comes to mind?
The two looked at each other, and finally Fabregas asked tentatively:
"You mean, Messi?"
"Yes, don't you think the way he takes free kicks is similar to Messi?"
The two heard Harvey's words and observed carefully for a while.
David Silva has never been teammates with Messi and doesn't know much about Messi's style, so he didn't express an opinion.
Fabregas knew Messi's footwork very well. After watching it carefully for a while, he nodded and said:
"It's really similar. If you put it this way, I feel that he not only looks like Messi in free kicks, but also feels like Messi when playing on the court."
Harvey sighed:
"When I see him, I always feel like I'm seeing a young version of Messi. The styles of these two are so similar!"
Just when Lin Quan and Iniesta were having a really good time, Del Bosque appeared on the sidelines and stopped Lin Quan:
"Lin, come here!"
Lin Quan ran over in confusion: "Coach, are you looking for me?"
Del Bosque nodded and said: "I watched your game in the Bundesliga. You took several penalty kicks at Werder Bremen. Are you the first penalty kicker in the team?"
Lin Quan shook his head: "No, but the coaching staff will let me take the penalty kicks I make."
"Have you ever missed a penalty kick so far?"
"No, all the penalties so far have been scored!"
"Then do you want to be the first penalty kicker for the national team?"
Lin Quan was a little surprised. He looked at Bosque seriously.
The old handsome man's expression was calm and serious, and he didn't mean to joke.
"This, isn't this not good?"
Lin Quan has just joined the team, so asking him to be the first penalty kicker may be difficult to convince the public.
Bosque glanced at him and said:
"Do you know when the European Golden Boy Awards will be announced?"
