The Era of Emerald

PS1: Today's update is here, I hope all book friends don't care too much about the update time...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

"This Brazilian who sees money!" After learning that Ronaldinho rejected his own contract and switched to the embrace of Lazio, Laporta ran away in his office for half an hour. It was not until the two big bosses Russell and Cruyff came to calm down, "Sandro (Mr. Russell), Mr. Cruyff, our plan to introduce Ronaldinho failed, those damned The Lazios signed him before us. Now, the Brazilian is one of them."

"What did you say!" Hearing Laporta's words, Cruyff was not calm immediately.After all, the matter of introducing Ronaldinho and establishing him as the team's new generation of offensive core was decided after a long discussion and research.But now, the new core of the scheduled team has become the spoils of other clubs, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to Barcelona's team building plan, "Joan (Laporta), can you discuss it with Lazio? , Let them transfer Ronaldinho to us? You don’t need to worry about the price, although the club’s account does not have much liquidity, but we can solve this problem through bank loans.”

"You can try it, but I think Lazio's promise may not be very high." Regarding Cruyff's proposal, Laporta felt that there was little hope, "You know, there is Abramovich. Lazio is backed by the super rich, and Lazio is not short of money at all, so even if we raise the price, I am afraid it will be difficult to reverse the current situation."

"By the way, haven't our negotiations with Ronaldinho been smooth all the time? Why did Lazio suddenly succeed?" Russell, who has been following Ronaldinho's transfer for a long time, is very impressed by this magical turn of events. Strange, asked Laporta.

"I heard that Lazio agreed to provide Ronaldinho with a signing fee of up to 150 million US dollars, and their transfer offer was a full 1000 million US dollars more than ours. The combination of these two factors, As a result, we were defeated in the battle for Ronaldinho." Laporta, who had learned the details from his subordinates, said depressedly, "As far as I know, among them, Ronaldinho's agent brother Assi Si played a key role. If he hadn't talked about Ronaldinho himself, it would have been impossible for Lazio to get Ronaldinho's transfer in such a short period of time."

"Hehe, an agent brother who is open to money, a player who is talented but doesn't know how to better plan his career, and is indifferent to the recruitment of top giants like Barcelona, ​​this is simply a replica of Anelka. After listening to Laporta's explanation, Russell sneered and commented, his words were full of sarcasm, "It's a good thing we didn't bring him to Barcelona, ​​otherwise, it might be another Anelka What a wonderful character."

It has to be said that Russell's evaluation is biased.You know, most Brazilian players grew up in slums, and Ronaldinho is naturally one of them.The lack of good education and harsh growth environment in their youth made these players lack sufficient self-discipline, and their resistance to money is negligible. However, this time Barcelona has ignored the matter of introducing Ronaldinho. At this point, they just want to rely on their giants' signature to recruit Ronaldinho, and it turns out that Lazio has an opportunity to take advantage of.

"It's useless to say these things now. Now that Ronaldinho has become a member of Lazio, we must take remedial measures." Cruyff waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Rose Paul's cynicism, "Joan, you send someone to contact Lazio to see if you can buy Ronaldinho from them. If not, then you'd better stop Riquelme's loan negotiations first , Maybe we will still count on him to lead the team to victory next season."

"Ah? Don't tell me, right?" In the current Barcelona formation, Riquelme is the one Laporta looks down on the most. Not to mention his withdrawn personality and difficult to get along with, it doesn't match the team's existing tactical system. He is also out of place, always sticking to his own style of play and refusing to make the slightest change.Such a player, no matter how good his skills are, it is impossible to gain a foothold in Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona has established a complete tactical system and football thinking since the Cruyff era, even Zidane and Rui Kos They have to play under this framework when they come, not to mention Riquelme, who has not yet proved himself in Europe.

Therefore, in Laporta's view, Riquelme absolutely cannot stay in Barcelona.Taking advantage of the genius halo on his head is still there, it is only reasonable to quickly loan him out to save the club's expenses, and at the same time find a suitable substitute.

"Well, what you said is also reasonable. But..." After hearing Laporta's opinion, Cruyff also felt that it was very reasonable, but when he thought of the candidate for Ronaldinho's substitute, the Barcelona godfather couldn't help having another headache. "It's hard to find players with similar characteristics and abilities to Ronaldinho."

"Why don't we also try to get involved in Beckham's transfer?" At this time, Russell came up with an idea and said, "His crossing skills can be said to be unrivaled in the world, and his overall view is also very good. Dadi enriches the team's tactical changes. Moreover, if Beckham can join, it can also attack Real Madrid and enhance the prestige and popularity of our Barcelona."

"Come on, with Beckham's skills at his feet, I doubt he can even adapt to our passing system well. It is true that Beckham's joining will make us sell a lot of jerseys, but we are not Real Madrid. , can’t let the team suffer losses at the competitive level for the sake of commercial interests.” Laporta rejected Rosell’s proposal without hesitation, and his statement was also agreed by Cruyff——Netherlands People also don't think that Beckham, who is not skilled enough, has the ability to integrate into Barcelona's tactical system.

"Ah..." Speaking of this, Laporta, Russell and Cruyff couldn't help but sighed at the same time.Lazio have messed up the hard-working rebuilding plan, and the result is enough to keep them depressed for a long time.

However, Laporta and the others obviously don't have the extra time to sigh.Because according to reliable sources, another important figure in their signing plan this summer, the Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o who played for the Vicenza club, is also on Lazio's robbery list at this time!

If even Eto'o is successfully intercepted by Lazio, then Barcelona's giants will really fall into their own hands.Therefore, for Laporta and the others, Eto'o's transfer must not be missed!
