Chapter 255 Wage Pressure
Wansheng did not challenge Real Madrid for no reason. All media reporters knew that he did so, not only because of the Champions League semi-finals, but also because of the competition between the two teams in the league-the Madrid derby in the 'second leg' of the league about to unfold.
This game is crucial.
Since Christmas, the league points of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have been biting, either you have two more points, or I have two more points, and the competition between the two teams has already become fierce.
This direct confrontation is likely to be directly related to the ownership of the league championship.
The second round of the Champions League quarter-finals continued on the second day, with Real Madrid at home against Athletic Greek.
There was no suspense in this game from the very beginning. Real Madrid had enough goal advantages. In the end, they defeated Athletic Greek 5-2 at home, and eliminated their opponents by a big score and entered the Champions League semi-finals with 8-2 in two rounds.
In another game, Barcelona beat AC Milan 3-1 and also entered the Champions League semi-finals.
In this way, the Champions League semi-finals have been determined, namely Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea in the Premier League.
Three of the Champions League semi-finals are Spanish teams. The joy of the Spanish media and fans can be imagined. During this day, the whole of Spain is full of reports of the Champions League. Several media also regard "Spanish football occupying the Champions League" as The headline that reports the news.
The two matches of the Champions League semi-finals are also classic.
One is the match between Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid, which is an internal 'battle' of the city of Madrid; the other is the collision between Barcelona and Chelsea. The two teams have long become 'enemies' in the Champions League.
In Spain, there are still more reports on the 'Madrid derby in the Champions League', because this is a collision between two Spanish teams.
Just talking about Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, there is too much content to report. In the league, the two teams are direct competitors, and the two teams will face each other in the Champions League semi-finals, which means that the two sides will have three games. , fans can see three 'Madrid derby' in a row.
This schedule is a test for both sides.
A lot of people think the test for Atletico Madrid is bigger, because Atletico Madrid is 'the first' time to experience such a tough schedule, playing three games in a row with Real Madrid, each of which is very important, which is likely to bring Atlético Madrid to the table. come under a lot of pressure.
As for Real Madrid, it's already 'used to'.
Last season, Real Madrid and Barcelona played three consecutive 'Spanish derbies'. The two sides played in the league and in the Champions League. The final winner was Barcelona. They defeated Real Madrid in the league and also in the Champions League. Real Madrid, the league and the Champions League, the two battlefield victories, also pushed Guardiola's prestige among Barcelona fans to a peak, and Mourinho was under a lot of pressure, and they again achieved nothing throughout the season.
So will the winner this time be Real Madrid?
Before the media reporters were looking for answers, Real Madrid made a move against Atlético de Madrid. The first thing that came out was the transfer rumors. Real Madrid president Florentino publicly expressed his 'appreciation' of Atlético de Madrid players, and to Real Madrid fans. Promise to bring in big stars in June.
Interested in Atlético de Madrid players?
Will the introduction of big stars?
Doesn't this mean that you want to buy the next big star of Atlético de Madrid?
Ozil?
Falcao?
Diego Costa?
J-Rodriguez?
The names of the stars are listed, and the final media analysis, the most likely transfer to Real Madrid is Falcao.
The media analyzed Falcao for a reason. In Atlético de Madrid, these four players are the most valuable. Even J-Rodriguez, who is less expensive, is conservatively estimated to be worth more than 35 million euros. Erkao and Diego Costa are definitely worth more than 50 million euros, and Ozil, the biggest player, is hard to estimate, it must be an astronomical figure.
Of the four players, Ozil is still injured, and Real Madrid can't spend a lot of money on an 'unsure star'.
Diego Costa is also injured and has not played for a while, but his injury is not serious, and it is very likely that he will be back soon, but it is unlikely that Diego Costa will leave Atletico Madrid, after all, he has already squeezed. With Aguero and Diego Forlan gone, leaving now is definitely not worth the gain.
J-Rodriguez is the recognized successor of Maurice, and his role in the Atletico Madrid team is extremely important. Atletico Madrid will definitely not let him leave easily.
The only thing left is Falcao.
Atlético de Madrid has never been short of players who can score goals. In recent years, the team has also been famous for cultivating talented strikers. Torres and Aguero are all geniuses produced by Atlético de Madrid strikers.
In less than a season after coming to Atletico Madrid, Falcao conquered many fans with his performance, and now his goals in the Champions League are almost catching up with the number one Messi.
This efficiency forward is very attractive.
At present, Real Madrid lacks strikers who can score goals. Benzema's state is not stable. C-Ronaldo needs a better partner. Falcao, who has proved himself in La Liga and the Champions League, is of course the best choice.
"Marca" revealed that "Real Madrid's board of directors has raised 100 million euros, as the funds for summer signings, this money is enough to buy Falcao."
There are all kinds of gossip in the media. In fact, insiders know that Real Madrid is just hyping, but in fact, they also have an idea to buy Falcao. They also officially made an offer to Atlético de Madrid. The amount of the offer is 60 million euros.
This offer made the Atlético de Madrid very excited.
pity……
"Atletico Madrid will not sell any player to a rival in the same city!" In the face of interviews with many reporters, Hill said with great certainty.
This is the most basic.
Even if Real Madrid spends more money, Atletico Madrid will not sell its players to rivals in the same city. Just like Real Madrid, they will not sell players to Atletico Madrid or Barcelona.
Atlético de Madrid chairman Cerezo replied to the reporter with a smile, "Perhaps it is possible? As long as they exchange C-Rogadi Maria!"
This is of course impossible.
Even if Real Madrid is crazy, they will not use C-Rogadi Maria for a Falcao.
In fact, there are quite a few clubs that 'fancy' Falcao. Atlético de Madrid has received a lot of offers. The most sincere one is Monaco. Like Real Madrid, they also ask for 60 million euros. Falco can be purchased.
Wan Sheng is wholeheartedly leading the team to the "Triple Crown", but he does not have much thought about selling his players, but occasionally, he will think carefully, because the change of team personnel is necessary.
As Atletico Madrid's performance has risen, some players in the team seem to be playing better and better, such as Falcao and J-Rodriguez. When these two players came, they were already big-name stars, but they are definitely not as good as they are now. Being famous is also a problem. In order to keep them, the club must sign a bigger contract.
No team, including Real Madrid, can afford so many big names.
Among the Atlético de Madrid teams with high salaries of more than 7 million euros, there are already Maurice, Ozil, Thiago Silva, Diego Costa, Godin, and other outstanding players, including The salaries of teenagers Wang Qiuming and Rafael Varane will increase several times. In this way, the team's salary has become a major burden for the club. It is certain to consider selling two high-paid players, such as Diego Costa. And Falcao, both of them are striker stars, no matter the position or salary, one must go, otherwise the team simply cannot afford it.
Just like the media analysis, choose one of the two, and it will be Falcao who will leave.
Wansheng appreciates Falcao very much, and Falcao is also very helpful to the team, but this is professional football. In the summer, Falcao is indeed likely to leave, but he will definitely not go to Real Madrid.
Wan Sheng kept these things in his heart and did not say them, because Atletico Madrid is currently fighting for the championship.
