Chapter 259 Transfer Cooperation
Atlético de Madrid beating Real Madrid is no big news.
When Mourinho settled in the Bernabeu Stadium and Wan Sheng coached Atletico Madrid, the two sides continued to fight. Real Madrid were used to failure. Even their supporting media and fans, although they were dissatisfied with the team's loss to the rivals in the same city, were very concerned about The result is not surprising, but it is even more dissatisfied with the club and head coach Mourinho.
Media reports have also made Mourinho the focus, but he has become a "negative" focus because of his failure. Many people are speculating about when Mourinho will leave Real Madrid.
Atletico Madrid received unanimous praise.
With only 5 rounds left in the league, the advantage of 4 points means that they are very likely to win the league championship.
Last season Atlético de Madrid was the league champion. This season is equal to defending the title. It is also a huge honor. What makes Atlético de Madrid fans even more happy is that the team is still unbeaten in the league so far, and the number of unbeaten games has risen to 71. Second-rate.
This is a terrifying number!
The undefeated honor of La Liga's 71 rounds is even more exciting than the league championship.
Among the many reports, Wansheng told all players to keep calm and continue to prepare for the next game, "The championship is the end, and now is just the beginning. Forget 71 rounds of undefeated, forget the league first, we must persist until The last game, until then, I don't want to see any slack!"
The Atlético de Madrid team is seriously preparing for the game, but the club still has a lot of things to do by the end of the season, such as the renewal of some players, such as the upcoming transfer work.
Players are the focus.
Two weeks ago, the club had completed the renewal of contracts with Raul Garcia and J-Rodriguez. The renewals of these two players were quite successful. The two had a certain degree of salary increase respectively, and both signed. It is a 4-year contract, and the club has successfully retained the core midfielder.
Last week, Atlético de Madrid also completed the renewal of the contract with Diego Costa, Diego Costa got a new contract, the annual salary increased to 4.3 million euros.
Diego Costa has officially entered the ranks of high-paid professional players.
The contract renewal work in other positions is not going well, and the focus of the outside world is still Falcao and Isco.
Falcao and Isco are among the most valuable players in the Atlético Madrid team.
Isco is still a teenager, just turned 20 years old. He has played at the top level for two seasons. After all, he is only a 'freak up', but his reputation is already quite big. Especially after Christmas, Ozil was injured and could not play. Ke was reused and often started to play, showing a stable and excellent state, and his value also rose sharply.
"France Football" has assessed Isco's worth at 22 million euros.
The annual salary of 1.4 million euros is a bit low for a player whose worth is assessed by "France Football".
If you want to keep Isco, you must renew his contract.
Another player to be focused on is Falcao. Falcao has a four-year contract with Atletico Madrid and does not need to be re-signed for the time being, but his performance is quite good and has reached the top level in the world. The greatest influence on him must be Diego Costa's contract renewal, the two are direct competitors. After Diego Costa's contract renewal, he will definitely stay at the club next season, so where should he go?
One way for the club to stabilize Falcao is to renew his contract with Falcao.
Atlético de Madrid has also discussed this within the club, but there are more than 20 players in the team, and Falcao will not be able to get a salary increase for the time being. If you go to give Falcao a salary increase, it will definitely exceed 6 million euros, or even 8 million euros, such a high-paying renewal, will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of Diego Costa in the same position.
Falcao’s agent, Mendes, once came to the club to discuss. He heard the news of Diego Costa’s contract extension and also hoped to get Falcao for a new contract.
Of course, the result was an unhappy breakup.
In fact, Wansheng has considered selling Falcao.
Falcao and Diego Costa, can only keep one, otherwise the team’s striker will occupy too much salary, which will become a big problem that drags down the team’s finances. In comparison, Diego Costa’s performance is stable and Excellent, the salary after the renewal is not as high as Falcao is now, and he must stay at the club.
Then Falcao had to leave.
Marca has always been 'concerned' about Atlético de Madrid.
This concern is due to the rise of Atlético de Madrid. They hope to influence Atlético de Madrid with their reports, which can help Real Madrid in the near future.
Many reporters in "Marca" are very eager to collect negative news about Atlético de Madrid. They will bribe insiders through private money transactions to inquire about new things about Atlético de Madrid and the team, so as to make reports and analysis.
This is the so-called 'grape news'.
Collina-Paco's job is to collect 'grass news', and he has a certain amount of money every month as a preparation fund for collecting news.
From an Atlético de Madrid staff member, Corina Paco inquired about the team's contract extension, and then he noticed Falcao.
Atletico Madrid's core executives and Falcao's agent Mendes, including Falcao himself, are well aware of Falcao's situation - because of his high-paying contract, he and Diego Costa's competition is at a disadvantage .
In the summer, Atletico Madrid is likely to choose one of the two. Diego Costa, who has just renewed his contract, stays with the team. Falcao is likely to leave. Of course, Falcao can also choose not to leave. Same now, competing with Diego Costa for a spot.
In fact, the two have played a lot of time. In Atlético de Madrid, such a strong third-tier team to win the championship can still be 'compatible'.
Whether Falcao leaves or not depends on his own choice.
These are things that are known to the top management of Atlético de Madrid, as well as 'insiders' such as Falcao himself and his agent. Ordinary staff don't know it. They only know that Falcao's agent has been to the club. Then the contact between the two parties broke up unhappily.
In the end what happened?
Collina-Paco felt he needed to dig deeper.
Since Christmas, that is, the end of the Champions League group stage, Falcao, as the second top scorer in the Champions League, has received a lot of attention. Atletico Madrid has a strong striker, but if Falcao leaves, it will definitely be a huge problem for Atletico Madrid. blow.
In terms of impact, fans will definitely ask the club why they didn’t renew the contract with Falcao, who performed so well; in terms of strength, a single Diego Costa will definitely not guarantee the efficiency of the frontcourt. Other problems, the Atlético de Madrid striker will have big problems.
In fact, this is the so-called 'Real Madrid thought'.
In the eyes of Real Madrid supporters, the bigger a team is, the better. The best team positions, including the substitutes, are the biggest and best players, so they can guarantee results. The same is true within Real Madrid. For example, Benzema's performance is very inconsistent, but it doesn't matter, Atletico Madrid has many players who can replace him.
Atlético de Madrid is not Real Madrid!
At least in recent years, Atletico Madrid is still difficult to compare with Real Madrid in terms of income. Naturally, it is necessary to consider the salary level of the players in the team to achieve at least no deficit in revenue and expenditure.
To think of Atlético de Madrid in terms of 'Real Madrid thinking'... that's a bit too flattering!
When Collina Paco 'digged into' the inside information, he had no idea that Atletico Madrid had reached an agreement with Falcao's agent Mendes on the matter of Falcao, and they would join forces Get Falco for a good price.
Falcao's question is well known to both sides.
Under normal circumstances, it is his own choice whether Falcao leaves, but it is true that Atletico Madrid "doesn't lack" Falcao. In this case, Falcao had better be able to leave. As Falcao's agent, Mendes definitely wants Falcao to leave, every football agent wants the players they sign to keep transferring, so they can make a big profit, and the players can be transferred at a high price, and they can also promote an agent. His fame shows that he has an accurate eye for players, and his status in the football agent industry is also rising.
Mendes does not exclude cooperation with Atlético de Madrid.
There are four clubs who are interested in Falcao and are very sincere. There are four clubs - Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Monaco. Among them, Real Madrid and Monaco are the most sincere in terms of money.
"Monaco? Are you still in Ligue 2?"
Wan Sheng smiled.
After Christmas, the biggest news from French football is Monaco, they have replaced a new owner - Rybonovlev, a Russian oligarch like Abramovich, worth nearly 10 billion US dollars, the outside world knows Rybonovlev is rich, but he doesn't know what to do after he buys Monaco. It seems that the Russian oligarch's action is about to start.
Such a Russian oligarch...it should be killed!

Soon the media got all kinds of 'grass news', Real Madrid, Manchester United, Monaco and other teams were all interested in Falcao, at the same time, Atletico Madrid also informed Falcao, "If you choose to stay, the club accepts, But there will be no raises and the club will not hold back if you choose to leave."
This news did not surprise Falcao, he had already learned the news from his agent.
After that, Wansheng also found Falcao and made it clear, "Whether you want to leave or not, you must perform well. If you leave, you need to fight for the future and choose to stay. Of course, if you don't perform well, someone will replace you. You came out."
Falcao is no longer a young player, he knows the rules of professional football, like when he moved from Porto to Atletico Madrid for greater fame and a higher salary.
The choices are the same now.
If you stay at Atletico Madrid, you can only continue the contract and compete with Diego Costa for a position. If you leave, you can get a bigger contract and maybe get a higher reputation. The only thing is, if you leave to join other teams, can you still get it? champion?
Falcao wasn't sure about that.
But for a South American player, the most important thing to play in Europe is to make money. It is definitely best to have a high-paying contract. They have no loyalty to any European club. The same is true for Falcao. He is a Colombian. Players, coming to Atlético Madrid for only one season, it's strange how loyal they are.
He only considers his own interests.
Although Falcao was still hesitating, he already had a result in his heart.
————
Atlético de Madrid continued to play in the league when Atlético de Madrid’s agent, Falcao’s agent, Mendez, was working hard to hype Falcao, hoping to sell Falcao for a big price.
After the match with Real Madrid, many media analyzed that Atletico Madrid would definitely be the league champion, but Wansheng told the players not to take it lightly.
A week later Atletico Madrid played Vallecano away.
For the newly-promoted Vallecano, Atletico Madrid is their injury. The two teams played against Calderon in the first half. Atletico Madrid scored 7 goals in the audience, which gave Vallecano a taste of the 'La Liga tycoon'. ' style.
This time the game was played at the Vallecas Stadium.
Vallecano sits at home and hopes to get points under Atletico Madrid.
Under normal circumstances, Vallecano is reluctant to fight recklessly with the top teams, it will not be worth the loss for them. The consequence of a reckless fight is likely to be a 'loser', but now has come to a special moment, At the end of the league, every point is concerned with whether they can avoid relegation. They have more fighting spirit and determination than the championship team.
Experienced coaches know that relegation teams are not easy to deal with.
Wan Sheng is also clear.
Before the game, his request to the players was, "Play seriously! Don't get injured easily!", and did not put pressure on the team to win.
In the game, Atletico Madrid's overall performance was not bad. Vallecano's fighting was fierce. They seemed to be desperate, but Atletico Madrid had been passing and receiving the ball. No matter how strong the players feel, no matter how determined they are and how high their fighting spirit is, it is impossible for them to slam into an opponent who doesn't have the ball, right?
It was not a normal game, it was a deliberate foul.
The Vallecano players felt very depressed, but Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and shouted, instructing the players to pass the ball more, not to take the risk of dribbling the ball alone, not to give the opponent the opportunity to reload the foul, and to minimize the possibility of injury.
This is also a delaying tactic.
Not to delay the game time, but to delay the opponent's fighting spirit.
Vallecano has a lot of fighting spirit and fierce fighting, but they can't be like this for the whole game. It seems that many people think that it is impossible for any team to continue to attack for 90 minutes. The fierce fighting consumes more energy than a fast-paced attack. and more energy.
They are only brave for a while, and it will be fine after a while.
