The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 422

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

Ramon Calderon, whose silver and white hair is neatly combed and who has applied a lot of oil on his hair, walked into the administrative office of the Bernabéu Stadium, and people greeted him non-stop along the way, which made this Madrid famous The lawyer feels quite complacent.

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

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

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

"Thank you, Christina!" Calderon nodded with a smile. He already knew his itinerary today, and everything had already been discussed. That's why he dressed so carefully today, even Even the tie is deliberately wearing a red tie, which looks good with a light blue shirt.

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

There are still many people in the same situation, and now they all work in various departments of Real Madrid. This is also the tradition of the two major membership clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

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

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

Mijatovic is a former superstar of Real Madrid. He once brought Real Madrid a European Champions Cup. Now he is the general manager of Real Madrid. This is another tradition of Real Madrid. For example, Florentino found it when he was selected. Valdano, the Argentine is also a famous marshal of Real Madrid in the past.

"You know it's impossible!" Mijatovic shook his head helplessly, "They didn't take us seriously at all, and they refused to talk about it, and Kaka's agent didn't want to have much contact with us. I think, at least this year, don’t count on it!”

After hearing this, Calderon's face darkened, and he shook his head, "You know, the current members, especially some important members, have a lot of opinions on me. They think that this Real Madrid team is the most lacking in superstar quality in history. Real Madrid."

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

If you want to poach superstars, you have to deal with wealthy teams, but he has no experience in this aspect, and even his popularity in Europe is relatively poor. This has to start with his job-hopping from Valencia to Real Madrid. , In this job-hopping and poaching incident, Real Madrid and Valencia were very tense, so none of Valencia's players have been sold to Real Madrid over the years.

Many people wonder why Mendieta, who had already decided to transfer to Real Madrid, suddenly chose to go to Lazio in the end?As everyone knows, it was because Real Madrid poached Mijatovic in the 90s and angered Valencia, causing the Bat Corps to be killed and refused to sell the captain to Real Madrid.

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

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 that Real Madrid won last season and the only championship trophy since 2003.

"You should know better than me that what Real Madrid wants is not such a tasteless 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 in Tottenham Hotspur, helping Tottenham Hotspur all the way to the top three in the league. Turnham Hotspur's best ever Premier League finish.

Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane, Figo, the former superstars have left one by one, even Roberto Carlos has decided to leave, and now there is only one left in the Real Madrid team. Raul is no longer a superstar.

"You know, Ramon!" Mijatovic also found it difficult to do, "Cristiano Ronaldo never thought about coming to Real Madrid, at least not now, he just wants to use us to get some salary, This is Mendez's calculation, even if we pay 3000 million euros for Pepe, it will not change everything!"

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

Chelsea did this, and now Calderon and others do the same, so a Pepe cost 3000 million euros. Who would have thought that a central defender in the Portuguese Super League who is not even famous at all is worth 3000 million euros?

"I also tried to talk to Tottenham Hotspur, but the other party refused to contact Ribery's transfer. The Frenchman did not think about leaving Tottenham Hotspur. To stay at Tottenham Hotspur."

After Mijatović's words were finished, Calderon was obviously very disappointed. He opened his mouth angrily, but did not curse out. After sighing, he looked deeply at Mijatović. Qi, "We must now appease the emotions of the fans and members as soon as possible. They are now accusing me of breaking my promise!"

When Calderon took over Real Madrid, he promised to bring in three superstars, one is AC Milan's Kaka, one is Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, and the other is Chelsea's Wayne Rooney. Impossible to come to Real Madrid.

Last season, Tottenham Hotspur performed very well, with strong attack power, especially the scar-faced Ribery of France, who was called his successor by Zidane. The wonderful performance of Tottenham Hotspur makes him a superstar figure who can keep pace with Cristiano Ronaldo, but the problem is that Tottenham Hotspur will not let anyone go.

Since Calderon took over Real Madrid, he really found that he could only use a little money to seduce players from some mid- and lower-level teams, but he couldn't poach top stars like Florentino before. That relationship is not at that level, and this is what makes him most depressed.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Mijatovic also knew that the outside world is under a lot of pressure on the management, so he suggested: "I have an idea. I received news. Two days ago, Italian newspapers reported that The news that Inter Milan is interested in Tottenham’s striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, Tottenham gave a warning, and a friend of mine told me that this is a signal that Tottenham will not reject the offer.”

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

Mijatovic smiled, "Inter Milan didn't say anything to the outside world, why did Tottenham Hotspur warn? This 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 did 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 scoring rate last season, the Premier League is really no challenge for him, and even though he is now 30 years old, he still wants to continue to challenge his career, even It is to go to an unfamiliar league to continue to stimulate his career.

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

"There is no doubt that Van Nistelrooy is a superstar, but he is already 30 years old!" Calderon hesitated.

Mijatovic shook his head and said: "Batistuta was 31 years old when he transferred to Rome, Zidane was 29 years old when he transferred to Real Madrid, Henry is also 29 years old now, and Van Nistelrooy It was 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. What's there to worry about?"

Perhaps seeing that Calderon was still a little hesitant, Mijatovic shook his head and said: "If they want superstars, then give them superstars, at least I think so, and Van Nistelrooy is the only one we can dig now. superstar!"

After hearing what Mijatovic said, Calderon thought about it again, nodded and said: "Then, you should finish this matter as soon as possible. I don't want to be pestered by those old guys again. nightmare!"

Mijatovic smiled, "For Tottenham Hotspur, only money is not a big problem, and you also said that Ruud van Nistelrooy is 30 years old, can he still be better than Batistuta?" It's more expensive!" His tone seemed to have no concern for money at all.

When Batistuta moved from Florence to Rome, the transfer fee of more than 400 million euros set a record for the transfer fee of a player over 30 years old in world football, 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 work separately, while Calderon went to a separate interview room. The well-known reporter Diego Torres of the National News interviewed Calderon this time, mainly around Pepe's transfer, and curiosity about Real Madrid's transfer strategy this season.

"I know that there are many Real Madrid fans who feel that the team failed last season, but we should note that although we failed to win the La Liga title, we had the Copa del Rey and our basketball department also won the title. It is normal to feel that football has not broken through in La Liga because the pressure of not having a title in the past few years has been really high."

"Firing Capello was a decision made during the team's reorganization. We must let Real Madrid return to our most traditional pursuit, which is perfection. We not only pursue perfect competition results, but also pursue perfect game process. Bring the most perfect football experience to fans."

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

After hearing this, Diego Torres recorded it seriously, and then asked, "Can you tell me 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 Real Madrid fans, let's forget about Kaka for a while, but I believe, 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 the Real Madrid fans once it appeared in the newspaper, so he added, "We have been working very hard, and our competitors are constantly introducing players. , strong 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 led to our lack of competitiveness, especially the lethality of the striker, so we will be in this position Bring in the best super killers in the world."

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

Calderon nodded, "Yes, we are working hard to get the European Golden Boot Van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid. It is not easy, because there are many teams that want to get Van Nistelrooy, and his value is very high. , but we firmly believe that he can bring Real Madrid the most stable scoring efficiency, so we will do our best to win Van Nistelrooy!"

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

Generally speaking, for such an important transfer, one would not be so sure in advance, because it is tantamount to giving the opponent an opportunity to raise the price in vain, because if you promise the fans here, you must buy it, and the opponent must buy it. Will take the opportunity to raise the price, of course, it won't be too outrageous.

Calderon didn't think about the transfer fee at all. He felt a little bit of a pedophile now, so he laughed and didn't say much, because he believed that Ruud van Nistelrooy's news should temporarily relieve Real Madrid fans. the pressure applied.

As for whether Mijatovic can introduce Ruud van Nistelrooy, we will talk about it at that time!
This is also Calderon's consistent strategy. Let's get through the addiction first, and then think about how to do it. If you can't fulfill it, you will delay it until everyone gets used to it, and then talk slowly.

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

"I hope that the club can downplay the repercussions brought about by the joining of young players as much as possible. It's best not to let them appear in the newspapers, and don't attract too much attention." Ye Qiu expressed his opinion to Robert Milson.

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

Not long ago, Tottenham Hotspur reached an agreement with the Cardiff Club of the British Championship. The team introduced the 200-year-old Welsh teenager Aaron Ramsey from Cardiff at a price of 16 million euros. The Welsh teenager had already attracted a lot of attention when he was eight years old. At that time, many Premier League teams were vying to snatch him. As a result, Cardiff got the best of the best.

Although eight years have passed, the teenager has made great progress in the Cardiff youth team. This season, Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal and other Premier League teams hope to get him. Among them, Manchester United and Everton both gave offers, Manchester United is 100 million euros, while Everton is a down payment of 20, and then an additional 100 million.

Tottenham Hotspur directly defeated their opponents with 200 million euros and got the Welsh rookie.

16 years old is indeed very young, but Aaron Ramsey is a technical midfielder with great potential in the future. In Ye Qiu's previous life, if not for the broken leg incident, I believe his development prospects will be very gratifying. Moreover, Ye Qiu also prefers technical players, so he brought in Aaron Ramsey.

At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur recruited the young teenager Raphael Varane from the youth team of the Lens club in the French second league as compensation. This 14-year-old central defender is also Ye Qiu personally finalized it, which cost Tottenham Hotspur 50 euros.

Tottenham Hotspur's scouts also found Paul Pogba in the small town of Torcy in the west of Paris, and successfully brought Paul Pogba, who is still receiving sloppy training in an amateur team to London.

In addition, Tottenham Hotspur also introduced Christian Eriksson from Denmark's Odense, England's local player Kyle Walker from Sheffield United, and Matija Nathan from Belgrade Partizan. Stasic.

In the U5 European Championship held in Belgium in May this year, Ye Qiu arranged for scouts to go to the key inspections. After the European Championship, Ye Qiu personally arranged for the scouts to come to the door and poached Eden Haza from the Ligue 17 Lille. De, this 16-year-old frontcourt attacker, is not tall, but very flexible, with excellent explosive power and excellent foot skills. He is very suitable for Ye Qiu's taste for frontcourt attackers, and most importantly, he very young.

As Ye Qiu planned before, Tottenham Hotspur must first reserve some talents for the team's future, otherwise, the registration qualifications for the next Premier League and European competitions will make Ye Qiu feel dizzy, so He specifically introduced these future rookies.

After these people come to Tottenham Hotspur, they will be cared for and cultivated by the club. Even Ye Qiu will make Meulenstein and Moniz pay attention to their technical refinement, and he also decided to pay attention to their skills this season. Nastasic, who has won a labor certificate, is fighting for the special talent clause, and the club is currently preparing for the hearing.

As for Marcelo, he was selected for the Brazilian national team in 06. With the gradual withdrawal of Roberto Carlos, there is a shortage of talents on the left side of the Brazilian national team. Marcelo is frequently selected, and he already has the qualifications to apply for a labor certificate qualified.

Ye Qiu attached great importance to the arrival of these young generals, and even asked Eliza Moon to help them deal with life and various trivial matters outside the training ground, take care of their lives, and arrange their studies at the same time , Find a good school for us, and then let Robert Milson try to prevent the attention of outside reporters and media.

The most worrying thing for young players is to be exposed to the outside world in advance, which is not good for their growth.

While Ye Qiu was talking to the two right-hand men, the secretary outside knocked on the door and came in.

"Sir, our guest is here!"
