It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 213 211 Roselle's ingenious plan (daily transition)
Whether you are happy or sad, life must go on.

L'Equipe: "This is a game that belongs to the world. Although it is the Spanish national derby, it touches everyone's heart."

"French TV station Canal+ has specially invited Zidane, Domenegue, former French captain Blanc and 100 other guests to watch the game together."

"Perhaps because he once played for Real Madrid, Zidane supports Pellegrini's team more."

"But he also supports Charles, just like Domenegue and Blanc."

"After Charleroi scored the first goal, the whole stadium exclaimed, but Zidane and Domenegue nodded calmly."

"Because Ciel's outstanding performance is always within their expectations. In other words, they will only be surprised if Ciel makes a mistake."

"20 Minutes": "Zidane said in an interview that when he watched Charles play, he always saw something familiar, but he couldn't figure out where it was familiar."

"It wasn't until now that he finally understood that the shadows he had learned that made him feel familiar were the correct understanding of football that he had seen from different people over the years since he started playing football."

“It’s like a person in a two-dimensional world can never fully observe the shape of an object in a three-dimensional world.”

"It's the same with football, everyone has their own unique understanding."

"Perhaps it's because Ciel is the only one who has ever played football with God that he has such a comprehensive understanding."

"Many people think Charles is his successor, but Zidane doesn't agree with that."

"He said that each era has its own football trends and characteristics, and he did okay in the era when he played."

"So Zidane feels that this is why he is respected and pursued by everyone."

"Just like today, young French football players all regard Charles as their goal."

"Each generation constantly takes the previous generation as a goal to move forward, and this is the driving force behind the continuous development and progress of football."

"Zidane is Zidane and Charles is Charles."

"There is only one Zinedine in the world, and there is only one Charlie."

"There is no better successor to Zidane, there is no better successor to Charles, there is only a better Zidane, a better Charles, and a better next generation."

"He is not the king of football. Maybe Charles will become the king of football and become synonymous with football."

"But as he said, Charles is not the better football king, he will always be the best Charles."

Marca: "The sound of the piano lingers in the air for three days, the white crown prince, the wanderer returns home!"

"It was also on April 4, in the 11st round of La Liga, at the Bernabéu, in the national derby, and in Real Madrid under Florentino Perez."

"But five years ago, the four superstars of Real Madrid: Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul and Owen had scored against Barcelona one after another."

"Beckham also assisted Ronaldo with a free kick."

“Why is it that the same superstar policy has no effect today, five years later?”

“从5年前的4:2大胜巴萨到如今的0:5惨败，问题究竟出在了何方？”

"C Ronaldo, Higuain, Van der Vaart, Alonso, Marcelo, Casillas, Real Madrid is still full of stars today."

"But as Raul gets older, we have to admit that Real Madrid is missing something."

"After watching Charles' performance today, we realized that Real Madrid was missing a beautiful violin."

"The sound of the strings has been rising since 96, and then Raul took over the bow, and the beautiful and melodious violin sounds continued to echo in the Bernabéu Stadium."

"But no matter how good the music is, even if it can linger in our ears for three days, where should we go after three days?"

"We also need a new violinist, one who will carry on Raul's legacy."

"Perhaps, as the farsighted fans said a year ago, it's time for Florentino to bring us Charity."

"Although he wears a red and blue jersey, we always believe that he has a white soul inside his body."

"He is Zidane's successor, but everyone prefers to call him by his nickname."

"Perhaps it's time for the new 'Zidane', Real Madrid's crown prince Xiali, to return home!"

Mundo Deportivo: "It was a victory of ideas, not money. It was not 8:2, but better than 8:2."

"La Masia has worked hard for 20 years and has always adhered to the same philosophy."

"4-3-3, total attack and defense, passing and controlling, wing play and overall play."

"In these 20 years, La Masia has continuously absorbed nutrients from a tiny seed, taken root and sprouted, and finally grew into the towering tree it is today."

"Although there have been wind and rain, thunder and lightning, and frost in the process of growth, but the glory that Barcelona has achieved now is all traceable and well-deserved."

"Although not all the players trained by La Masia in the past 20 years can play for the first team, they are like fallen leaves, blown by the wind to all parts of the world, spreading the football philosophy of La Masia."

"Florentino can buy Ronaldo with money, but he can't buy the future with money."

"Real Madrid's big-club bias is doomed to fail."

"Victory in football always depends on 11 teammates who believe in the same football philosophy working together, not 11 superstars who believe in different football philosophies."

"Catalan Daily": "This is the first time in Barcelona's history that they have won at the Bernabeu for two consecutive seasons, and it is also the first time in the team's history that they have beaten Real Madrid twice in two consecutive seasons."

"Since Charles joined Barcelona, ​​there have been at least two goals in every national derby."

"Laporta, who became the president of Barcelona in 2003, has seen Barcelona win all three points at the Bernabeu four times, even tying the record set by former president Nunez."

"It took Núñez 22 years to create this record at Barcelona."

"Barcelona has 31 points after 85 rounds of La Liga, directly breaking the highest record since the implementation of the three-point system in La Liga."

"If Barcelona can maintain a perfect record in the remaining seven games, the Catalans will successfully defend their title with an unprecedented 7 points."

Russell put the newspaper down directly.

Although Laporta has not left the throne of Barcelona president, he has already regarded this position as his own.

The next Barcelona president has not yet been announced, but everyone with a discerning eye knows it will be him.

He, Rosell, once worked for Nike in Brazil and South America, and was also Laporta's aide when he ran for the presidency of Barcelona.

Although he has never been the chairman, he knows exactly what to do.

It was thanks to him that Barcelona was able to sign Ronaldinho and Deco.

Although he is not a fan of Real Madrid, he still agrees with Florentino's approach.

Since parting ways with Laporta in 2005, he has been a staunch opponent of Laporta.

He does not agree with Laporta's ideas.

Only with enough stars and sufficient commercialization can the club achieve further success.

If he could continue to serve as the president of Barcelona, ​​he would be ruthless in dealing with veteran players in the team for the sake of business and competition as long as their abilities declined.

He agrees with Florentino's approach.

He even published a book called "The Real World", revealing some inside stories of Barcelona.

The content included the fact that Cruyff was behind the government.

He felt that since the old man Cruyff had retired, he should not be so ambitious.

However, this move intensified the conflict between him and Laporta and offended Cruyff, the "Godfather of Barcelona". Rosell was ready to take over Barcelona, ​​but Laporta actually appointed Cruyff as the honorary chairman of Barcelona before he took office.

This really made him sick.

When he takes office, he will strip this old man of his title of honorary chairman.

And that bald guy Guardiola really doesn't recognize the real talent.

A few months ago, he offered Guardiola a six-year contract, but the apprentice taught by Cruyff, the old man, wanted to reach out as far as he wanted.

Guardiola, the bald guy, actually dared to ask for transfer rights at the same time.

How could Russell bear this?

Directly deny this condition.

But he didn't expect that this bald guy would be so tactless. When this condition was rejected, he would rather just take the 1+1 contract.

That is to say, next summer, if either Guardiola or Barcelona does not want to renew his contract, Guardiola will leave Barcelona.

In addition to this bald guy, he also really dislikes Ciel and Ibrahimovic.

The first is Charr, the greenhorn. His salary is the highest in Barcelona, ​​but he has to go to the hospital from time to time and has to be on the bench to rest at any time.

Although it is indeed powerful, for Russell, the cost-effectiveness is indeed too low.

Look, yesterday’s Spanish national derby had to take a break halfway through.

Moreover, Barcelona had to book a room for Charles in hospitals across Spain, just in case.

Then there is Ibrahimovic, who is too unruly and has also been rumored to be having an affair with Pique.

Russell likes dogs, not wolves.

If Pique can't move, then at least one of Ibrahimovic and Charr, the greenhorn, must leave.

Soon, Roselle's secretary came in.

"The information is ready, Mr. Chairman."

Rosell tapped on his computer, "What is the current financial situation of Barcelona?"

"We are unable to access Barcelona's account books for the time being, but according to estimates, Barcelona's debt is around 5.5 million euros, and Barcelona also has wage arrears."

Russell frowned directly.

The Spanish economy is in recession and many teams are in arrears with their wages.

Especially for small teams like the Spanish Second Division and the Spanish Third Division, they may not be able to pay salaries for half a year.

“How much salary is owed?”

The secretary pushed up his glasses and said, "It's about 1.5 million to 2 million euros, but I'm not sure about the exact amount."

Russell's face turned black.

"Tell me the details."

"Barca previously arranged four chefs for Charles, three of whom were responsible for Charles' diet at the club and one for his diet at home."

"But not long ago, the three chefs responsible for the club's catering were all unable to work due to something, so Laporta hired three new chefs for Charr."

"Then there was the previous incidents of Cialis being allergic to tomatoes and ink. Barcelona arranged several assistants, masseurs, physiotherapists and team doctors for Cialis."

"These are just small expenses. The big expenses are the players' salaries and bonuses."

The secretary glanced at Roselle and turned the report specifically to the page about Charles.

He is a secretary, so naturally he has to please his boss.

"Charles' after-tax salary is 1200 million euros, but Barcelona actually paid 1578.95 euros (Beckham Act, Charles came to Spain before 2010, so he only had to pay 24% tax (I think))."

"Ibrahimovic and Messi's wages are similar, and the other Barcelona players are not much worse. Their wages are only three or four million less than Charles'."

"In addition to the players' salaries, the salaries of the coaching staff also need attention."

"So far, Guardiola has not actually signed a formal contract extension with Barcelona."

"The contract renewal mentioned at the press conference was actually just a verbal renewal."

"So after the new season starts, we still have to pay Guardiola's high salary. You know, he is now a five-time champion coach and is likely to defend the Champions League and La Liga. If the King's Cup is added, he can even go one step further this season and become a six-time champion coach."

"By then, his salary won't be much lower than our players'."

The more Russell listened, the more distorted it became.

Why is there money everywhere?
"Anymore?"

The secretary glanced at Russell and continued cautiously, "There is also money to renew the hospital contracts for the new season. We need to renew the contracts for the VIP wards in hospitals all over the country."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "This is written in Ciel's contract."

"Shit," Russell couldn't sit still any longer and slammed the table. "I've seen nightclub agreements, gaming agreements, and boot agreements, but I've never seen a hospital agreement!"

"Damn vampires, sell them all, sell them all to me!"

"But, but, Charles is very popular, and his jersey sales are the highest, far exceeding Ibrahimovic..."

The secretary said in a whisper.

But he is the player introduced by Laporta!
But Russell didn't say this.

"So what should we do now to save Barcelona's expenses? At the same time, how should we increase revenue?"

Seeing the questions raised by Rosell, instead of focusing on trying to clean up Laporta's traces, the secretary also began to think of ways.

"We could perhaps try to transform our Camp Nou stadium."

Rosell simply waved his hand and refused, "No, it's too expensive to renovate the stadium, and our Camp Nou is already the largest stadium."

"So... raise the ticket price?"

"No," Rose waved his hand and refused. "We are not Arsenal. I've thought about it. After the new season, children will no longer be free of charge. Children, you have to pay me!"

"And the chest advertisement—"

The secretary was a little frightened.

"Before 2006, we had never put advertising on jerseys for 106 consecutive years, and the current jersey advertisement is also UNICEF."

Hearing what the secretary said, Roselle had to give up the idea.

"Then find a way to save resources first. Go investigate where Barcelona has redundant staff. When I take office, I will cut them off."

"When the transfer window comes, we will have to transfuse blood and sell blood at the same time."

"Damn Laporta, he actually left me with such a mess!"
