Chapter 422: The son sells his father's land without any pain

"Mr. Chairman!" "Mr. Chairman, good morning!"

As soon as Ramon Calderon, who had neatly combed silver hair and put on a lot of hair oil, walked into the administrative office of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, people kept greeting him along the way. This made this well-known Madrid man The lawyer felt quite pleased with himself.

Once upon a time, this was a treatment that only Spanish celebrities could enjoy, and now he gets it.

"Mr. Chairman!" Secretary Christina Berdemus was waiting for him at the door of his office.

"The general manager is waiting for you inside. In addition, you have made an appointment with Mr. Diego Torres, a reporter from the National newspaper, for an exclusive interview. He has already arrived. I have arranged for him to be in a separate interview room. You can go there at any time. Also, Pepe's The press conference is scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning, and they asked me to remind you of the time!"

"Thank you, Cristina!" Calderon smiled and nodded. He already knew his itinerary today. Everything had been discussed long ago, so he dressed up so carefully today, even Even the tie was deliberately worn with a red tie, which looks great with a light blue shirt.

Pushing open the door of the office, Calderon saw Mijatovic sitting opposite his desk. The two of them were partners. If it hadn't been for Mijatovic, Calderon would not have been elected. President of Real Madrid.

There are many people in the same situation, and they are now working in various departments of Real Madrid. This has always been the tradition of the two major membership clubs of Real Madrid and Barcelona. It is said by the outside world that when one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

"Okay, buddy, what's the good news?" Calderon walked over, went directly to his desk, unbuttoned his suit, and sat down, looking like a big boss. "Milan agreed to negotiate with us. Yet?"

His eyes fell on a document on his desk, which reminded him again of today's schedule.

Mijatovic is a former superstar of Real Madrid. He once brought a European Champions Cup to Real Madrid. He is now the general manager of Real Madrid. This is another tradition of Real Madrid. For example, Florentino found him when he was selected. Valdano, the Argentinian is also a famous coach of Real Madrid in the past.

"You know this is impossible!" Mijatovic shook his head helplessly, "They didn't take us seriously at all and were unwilling to talk. Kaká's agent was also unwilling to have any contact with us. According to the I think, at least this year, don’t expect it!”

After hearing this, Calderon's face dimmed and he shook his head, "You know, the members now, especially some important members, have opinions on me. They feel that the current Real Madrid team lacks superstar temperament the most in history. Real Madrid.”

"I know, but didn't we win a championship?" Mijatovic shook his head.

If you want to poach superstars, you have to deal with wealthy teams, but he has no experience at all in this aspect, and even his popularity in Europe is relatively poor. This has to start with when he jumped from Valencia to Real Madrid. , in this incident of job hopping and poaching, Real Madrid and Valencia were at loggerheads, so none of Valencia's players were sold to Real Madrid in these years.

Many people are wondering why Mendieta, who had originally decided to move to Real Madrid, suddenly chose to go to Lazio in the end? As everyone knows, it was because Real Madrid poached Mijatovic in the 1990s that angered Valencia, and the Bat Legion later refused to sell the captain to Real Madrid even after they beat him to death.

Of course, in the whole incident and some other things that happened later, Mijatovic also played a not very honorable role, which made him have a bad image not only in the eyes of Valencia fans, but also in many European football circles. In the eyes of professionals, his impression and character are very poor.

This is why AC Milan hardly even talks to them!

As for the championship, it is definitely not La Liga, but the Copa del Rey. This is the only championship won by Real Madrid last season and the only championship trophy since 2003.

"You should know better than me. What Real Madrid wants is not something as trivial as the Copa del Rey!" Calderon is also under a lot of pressure now.

Beckham was sold during the winter break, but Beckham showed world-class level and strength at Tottenham Hotspur, helping Tottenham Hotspur reach the top three in the league. Tenham Hotspur's best ever Premier League position.

Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane, Figo, the superstars of the past have left one by one. Even Roberto Carlos has decided to leave. Now there is only one left in the Real Madrid team and I don’t know if it’s okay. Raul is no longer a superstar.

"You know, Ramon!" Mijatovic also found it difficult to do. "Cristiano Ronaldo has never thought about coming to Real Madrid, at least not now. He just wants to use us to get some salary. This is Mendes’ calculation, even if we pay 30 million euros for Pepe, we can’t change this!”

There are not many ways to build relationships in this world, and often the simplest and most direct way is to use money to pave the way.

This is what Chelsea did, and Calderon and others are doing the same now, so one Pepe cost 30 million euros. Who would have thought that a Portuguese Super League central defender who is not even famous at all is worth 30 million euros? ?

"I also tried to talk to Tottenham Hotspur, but the other party refused to contact Ribery's transfer. The Frenchman did not want to leave Tottenham Hotspur. He has only performed well for one season. He To stay at Tottenham Hotspur.”

After Mijatovic finished speaking, Calderon was obviously very disappointed and opened his mouth angrily, but did not curse. After sighing, he looked deeply at Mijatovic. Qi said, "We must calm down the emotions of the fans and members as soon as possible. They are now accusing me of not keeping my word!"

When Calderon took over Real Madrid, he promised to introduce three superstars, one is AC Milan's Kaká, one is Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, and the other is Chelsea's Wayne Rooney. But in the end, these three superstars are basically useless. It's impossible to come to Real Madrid.

Last season, Tottenham Hotspur performed very well and had a strong offensive power, especially the French scarface Franck Ribery, who was called his successor by Zidane. Tottenham Hotspur's wonderful performance makes him a superstar who can keep pace with Cristiano Ronaldo, but the problem is that Tottenham Hotspur will not let him go.

Since Calderon took over Real Madrid, he really found that he could only rely on a little money to seduce players in some mid-to-lower teams, but he could not poach top stars like Florentino did before. He did not That relationship was not that good, and that was what made him most depressed.

Seeing his anxious look, Mijatovic also knew that the outside world was under great pressure on the management, so he suggested: "I have an idea. I received news. Two days ago, an Italian newspaper reported The news of Inter Milan's interest in Tottenham Hotspur striker Van Nistelrooy, Tottenham Hotspur gave a warning, a friend of mine told me that this is a signal that Tottenham Hotspur will not refuse the offer. "

"What do you mean?" Calderon obviously didn't understand.

Mijatovic smiled, "Inter Milan has not said anything to the outside world, why did Tottenham warn? The warning itself is a signal to let everyone know that someone is going to poach Ruud van Nistelrooy, and I My friends also told me that Van Nistelrooy himself does not refuse to leave the Premier League because he hopes to continue to accept challenges in a new environment. "

With Ruud van Nistelrooy's astonishing goal rate last season, the Premier League really has no challenge for him, and even though he is now thirty years old, he still wants to continue to challenge his career. Even going to an unfamiliar league to continue stimulating his career.

Henry is obviously very close to Barcelona, ​​and it is not impossible for Ruud to leave the Premier League.

"There is no doubt that Ruud is a superstar, but he is already thirty years old!" Calderon hesitated.

Mijatovic shook his head and said: "Batistuta was thirty-one when he moved to Roma, Zidane was twenty-nine when he moved to Real Madrid, and Henry is now twenty-nine. Moreover, Van Nistelrooy won the European Golden Boot last season. He scored 32 league goals in the Premier League. This is the highest scoring efficiency in the Premier League in the past ten years. Even Henry at his peak is not as good as him. He, do you think there is anything to worry about with such a player?”

Perhaps seeing that Calderon was still a little hesitant, Mijatovic shook his head and said: "If they want a superstar, then give them a superstar. At least that's what I think. Ruud Ruud is the only one we can dig now." Superstar!"

After listening to Mijatovic's words, Calderon thought about it again, nodded and said: "Then, you should handle this matter as soon as possible. I don't want to be pestered by those old guys again. It's simply a mess." Nightmare!"

Mijatovic smiled and said, "For Tottenham Hotspur, it's not a big problem as long as they give money. And you also said that Ruud van Nistelrooy is thirty years old, how can he be better than Batistuta?" It’s even more expensive!” He sounded like he didn’t care about money at all.

When Batistuta moved from Florence to Roma, the transfer fee of more than 34 million euros set a world football record for a transfer fee for a player over 30 years old, and it has not been broken even now.

Calderon really doesn't care about money, because the money has nothing to do with him, it's all Real Madrid's money.

A few minutes later, the two giants of Real Madrid separated and went to do their own business, while Calderon went to a separate interview room. Diego Torres, a well-known reporter from El Pais, conducted an exclusive interview with Calderon this time, mainly around the Pepe's transfer, and curiosity about Real Madrid's transfer strategy this season.

"I know that many Real Madrid fans feel that the team failed last season, but we should note that although we failed to win the La Liga championship, we have the King's Cup, and our basketball department also won the championship. I I think it’s normal for football to fail to make a breakthrough in La Liga, because the pressure on us without a championship in the past few years has been really great.”

"Firing Capello is a decision made during the reorganization of the team. We must let Real Madrid return to our most traditional pursuit, which is perfection. We not only pursue perfect competition results, we also pursue perfect game processes. Give fans the most perfect football experience.”

"So we have been looking for a head coach who is more in line with Real Madrid's football philosophy, more flexible and able to lead the team to play offensive football and make Real Madrid fans enjoy it, so we feel that Schuster will be a very suitable candidate. ”

After hearing this, Diego Torres recorded it carefully, and then asked: "Can you tell us about Kaka? Is there any progress?"

"It's very difficult. AC Milan doesn't want to sell him. We have to respect the friendship with AC Milan. So, I would say to the Real Madrid fans, let's forget about Kaká for the time being, but I believe that sooner or later, he will land." Real Madrid!”

"Where's Cristiano Ronaldo?"

Calderon knows that this is also a topic that all Real Madrid fans are concerned about. "We are talking, but it will take time, because everyone knows that this will be a shocking transfer."

After a pause, Calderon felt that his answer would not please Real Madrid fans once it was published in the newspaper, so he added, "We have been working very hard, and our competitors are constantly introducing players. , with great strength, we will not stand still.”

"The main reason why we were able to perform well in the second half of last season was that we sent away Ronaldo, but this also caused us to be less competitive, especially the lethality of the forward line, so we will be in this position Introducing the best super killer in the world."

"You're talking about..." Diego Torres seemed to have guessed something.

Calderon nodded, "Yes, we are working hard to bring European Golden Boot winner Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid. It is not easy because there are many teams who want to get Van Nistelrooy now, and he is worth a lot. , but we firmly believe that he can bring the most stable scoring efficiency to Real Madrid, so we will try our best to win Ruud!”

After hearing this, Diego Torres laughed and said, "It seems that this transfer has been brewing for a long time, it should be almost done!"

Generally speaking, for such an important transfer, you will not be so certain beforehand, because this is equivalent to giving your opponent the opportunity to raise the price. Because you have promised the fans, they must buy it, and the opponent must I will take the opportunity to raise the price, but of course, it won’t be too outrageous.

Calderon didn't think about the transfer fee at all. He just wanted to show off his father and it didn't hurt him, so he laughed and didn't say much because he believed that the news of Ruud van Nistelrooy should be able to temporarily relieve Real Madrid fans. the pressure exerted.

As for whether Mijatovic can bring in Ruud van Nistelrooy, we will tell at that time!

This has also been Calderon's consistent strategy: first get over the taste, and then think about how to do it. If it can't be fulfilled, delay it until everyone is used to it, and then slowly talk about it.

In the administrative office of White Hart Lane Stadium, Ye Qiu was having a meeting with Eliza Moon and Robert Milson.

"I hope that the club can minimize the repercussions brought about by the joining of young players. It is best not to let them appear in the newspaper and not attract too much attention." Ye Qiu expressed his opinion to Robert Milson.

After hearing this, the latter thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "I'll take care of it!"

Not long ago, Tottenham Hotspur reached an agreement with Cardiff Club of the English Championship. The team introduced 16-year-old Welsh teenager Aaron Lahm from Cardiff for two million euros. Se, this Welsh youngster has already attracted a lot of attention when he was eight years old. At that time, many Premier League teams were vying to grab him. As a result, Cardiff was the first to get the better of him.

Although eight years have passed, the youngster's performance in Cardiff's youth team has been making great progress. This season, Premier League teams including Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal and other Premier League teams hope to get him. Among them, Manchester United and Everton both made offers. Manchester United was one million euros, while Everton was a down payment of 200,000 euros, and an additional one million euros later.

Tottenham Hotspur directly defeated its opponent for two million euros and got the Welsh rookie.

Sixteen years old is indeed very young, but Aaron Ramsey is a technical midfielder with great future potential. In Ye Qiu's previous life, if it were not for the broken leg incident, I believe his development prospects would be very promising. , and Ye Qiu also prefers technical players, so he introduced Aaron Ramsey.

At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur poached the young player Raphael Varane from the youth team of Lens Club in the French Second League as compensation. This fourteen-year-old central defender is also Ye Qiu decided it personally, and it cost Tottenham Hotspur half a million euros.

Tottenham Hotspur's scouts also found Paul Pogba in the town of Torsi west of Paris, and successfully brought Paul Pogba who was still receiving loose training in the amateur team. to London.

In addition, Tottenham Hotspur also introduced Christian Eriksen from Odense in Denmark, English native Kyle Walker from Sheffield United, and Matij Na from Partizan Belgrade. Stasic.

At the U17 European Championship held in Belgium in May this year, Ye Qiu arranged for scouts to conduct key inspections. After the European Championship, Ye Qiu personally arranged for scouts to visit and poached Eden Hazard from French Ligue 1 Lille. De, this 16-year-old frontcourt attacker, is not tall, but is very flexible, has excellent explosive power, and has excellent foot skills. He is very suitable for Ye Qiu's taste in frontcourt attackers, and the most important thing is that he very young.

As Ye Qiu planned before, Tottenham Hotspur must first reserve some talents for the team's future. Otherwise, Ye Qiu's registration qualifications for the next Premier League and European competitions will be a big headache, so He specifically introduced these future rookies.

After these people come to Tottenham Hotspur, they will be given special care and training by the club. Ye Qiu will even let Mullensteen and Moniz pay attention to their technical refinement. He also decided to strive for special talent clauses for Nastasic, who failed to obtain a work permit this season. The club is currently preparing for a hearing.

As for Marcelo, he was selected for the Brazilian national team in 2006. With the gradual withdrawal of Roberto Carlos, the left side of the Brazilian national team is now in short supply. Marcelo has been selected frequently and has the qualifications to apply for a work permit.

For the arrival of these young players, Ye Qiu paid enough attention and even asked Eliza Moon to help them deal with their lives and various trivial matters outside the training ground, take care of their lives, arrange their studies, find a good school for us, and then let Robert Milson try to prevent the attention of outside reporters and media.

The young players are most worried about being exposed to the outside world in advance, which is not conducive to their growth.

Just as Ye Qiu was talking to his two right-hand men, the secretary outside knocked on the door.

"Sir, our guests are here!"
