Chapter 916 Don't Force Me!
"Florentino, are you crazy? You want to sell Cristiano Ronaldo?"
"Isn't it? Don't you know that he is the flagship star of our team?"
"That's right, when you said you wanted to introduce Gareth Bale, the purpose was to succeed Cristiano Ronaldo, but now we've all seen that Gareth Bale doesn't have that ability at all."
Speaking of which, this is really depressing.
Both Barcelona and Real Madrid introduced superstars from Southampton back then, the purpose was to succeed Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but in the end, Neymar succeeded and began to take over Messi's scepter, but Gareth Bale It is far from reaching the level of succession.
Behind this, although there are issues of head coach employment and tactical tilt, overall, there is still a big gap between Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.
If Gareth Bale has not yet fully succeeded Cristiano Ronaldo, if he sells the Portuguese rashly, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
If this affects the team's performance and weakens the team's brand image, what can be done?
Faced with doubts, Florentino was clearly already confident. He turned his head and glanced at Debras. The latter nodded understandingly and said, "Everyone, we all understand everyone's worries, but ..."
Debras smiled, "We have done an accounting. In the past few years, our investment in Cristiano Ronaldo has fully recovered the cost, and there is still a surplus."
"Here, I would like to remind everyone that he turned 30 in February, and we are not sure how long he will be able to maintain his peak state. It may be a year, or it may be longer. , who knows?"
Speaking of this, Debras shrugged and sighed, "I hope everyone can understand that we are not discussing a relationship now, but a business worth 100 million pounds."
As a lawyer, De Blas is always good at finding the weaknesses of his opponents, and as the vice chairman of Real Madrid, he also knows how to persuade this group of directors.
After all, no matter how good Cristiano Ronaldo is, he is already 30 years old, and his days are past.
Whether it is Real Madrid fans, or any team in the world, it is the same reality.
Isn't it realistic for Real Madrid fans to treat the former flag captain Sanchez, Hierro and Raul?
Now, facing the old Casillas, aren't they also changing their attitude?
People are like this, no matter how high-sounding they are on the surface, no matter how much they pretend to be affectionate and righteous, in the end, they still love the new and dislike the old. This is their nature and cannot be changed.
As the management of Real Madrid, they are managing the team on behalf of the fans, so they need to be responsible for the fans, so that this Real Madrid will always be at the top of European football.
Therefore, at this moment, anyone who says to emphasize feelings and keep Cristiano Ronaldo is a hooligan.
"Okay, Florentino, we agree with you, but..." Angel Luis finally nodded.
"However, we would like to know, what are your plans?"
It's like firing Ancelotti, you must hire another world famous coach.
After selling Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid is definitely going to introduce another superstar.
So, they were very interested to know, what did Florentino think?
Florentino smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, we really need to introduce superstars."
"Could it be... really Suarez?" Anheran Luis was a little surprised.
It was reported by the Spanish media before that Real Madrid is actively operating Suarez and is even willing to pay a record-breaking transfer fee for the Uruguayan striker.
Could it be that this is true?
"I really want to!" Florentino chuckled, but shook his head, "However, I have talked to Southampton's Yang Huan at least three times, and my offer for Suarez even increased to 150 million million euros, but he rejected my offer without hesitation, and said that Southampton will not sell Suarez, at least not in the next two years!"
Debras nodded and chuckled, "What a shrewd guy!"
Suarez is now 28 years old. With his current level, it is no problem to maintain his peak form in the next two years.
Two years later, at the age of 30, Suarez is undoubtedly the age to make a move.
It may be cruel to say so, but it is good for Southampton and the players.
More importantly, there will definitely be some teams including Paris Saint-Germain rushing to take over.
"Who said no?" Florentino smiled, "Not only Suarez, but Southampton even rejected my offer for Hazard. Yang Huan said that Southampton will adjust the team's business strategy. gone."
"Adjust the team's business strategy?"
A strange color flashed in everyone's eyes, what does this mean?
"Southampton has completed capital accumulation. Their current financial income is no less than ours, but their salary expenditure and the team's operating costs are much less than ours. More importantly, in the foreseeable future In 2019, their fiscal revenue will continue to increase at an alarming rate."
When Florentino said this, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, "So, now they want to retain the superstars they have cultivated, and they may even take the route of introducing superstars to further enhance their influence. Establish a wealthy position!"
When everyone heard this, a strange color flashed across them.
Nimi, here comes another job grabber.
These years, how come the wealthy families popped up one after another like mushrooms after rain?
Could it be that the wealthy have become so worthless?
But if you really want to study it carefully, it is not difficult to find that although the Saints do not have the title of a wealthy team, in fact, they have already secured their position as a wealthy team in European football.
Because this team in southern England not only has the results of the Premier League, but also won the Europa League and the Champions League in the European arena. More importantly, their financial income is not lost to the old giants. .
Whether it is in terms of popularity and influence, or in terms of achievements, the Saints are not lost to any giants.
It is entirely foreseeable that if Southampton does not sell people, with the current strength of the Saints, he will be the most troublesome opponent of all European teams in the next few years.
"Florentino, Suarez and Hazard can't do anything, so why do you still sell Cristiano Ronaldo?" Angel Luis was a little strange.
"Because Tottenham Hotspur made an offer of 100 million pounds."
"100 million pounds?" Angel Louis was a little moved.
If this is calculated in euros, it will cost about 120 million yuan, which is quite a high quotation.
"We all know that the older Cristiano Ronaldo is, the harder it is to sell him at a high price. Now that the economic situation is so unsatisfactory, there are not many teams in European football that are willing to make such an offer."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.
This offer is indeed difficult for Real Madrid to refuse.
"Then you mean..."
"Selling Cristiano Ronaldo, poaching Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero, I believe the fans should be satisfied."
When everyone heard it, they couldn't help but nodded.
If you sell Cristiano Ronaldo, you can probably get Lewandowski and Aguero in exchange, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?
It's scary to be afraid that things don't go so smoothly.
"By the way, I read the news from the neighbor next door recently. Are they intending to sell Messi?" Angel Louis asked with concern.
If Barcelona sells Messi, then Real Madrid sells Cristiano Ronaldo, and the pressure will be much less.
"It should be true. According to the news I got, Barcelona's lineup has reached the point where it must be strengthened, but they don't have much money, so this is the idea of selling Messi."
In terms of team management, Florentino still has absolute confidence in his team.
Although it may have been caught up by the Saints, or even surpassed, compared with Barcelona, Real Madrid is still far ahead, especially in commercial development.
"Who will become Messi's next home?" Angel Luiz asked with concern.
Florentino shook his head. "It's not clear yet. Both Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have expressed interest, but Messi has rejected Chelsea because the Blues' performance this season is really ugly."
"Is it possible to come to Real Madrid?" Angel Luiz asked eagerly.
The other people listened, and they all looked concerned.
If Messi comes, let alone sending away Cristiano Ronaldo, even if it is sending away Gareth Bale, and even all the superstars of Real Madrid, there will be no problem.
Florentino smiled helplessly and shook his head: "How is this possible?"
After a pause, he continued: "I have had contact with Messi's team, but he said that it is impossible to transfer to Real Madrid. It is said that he himself means that the first choice is Southampton."
"Southampton?" Everyone was a little surprised.
"Well, I heard that Messi himself said that if he leaves Barcelona, he wants to go to Southampton the most, and he is even willing to cut his salary, followed by Bayern Munich. As for Paris Saint-Germain, Messi would rather stay. At Camp Nou."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little moved.
When did Southampton still have this kind of attraction?
To be able to make a superstar like Messi flock to him and ask to join him?
"However, from what I've heard, Southampton doesn't seem to have much interest in Messi because they've had a very good trio of Hazard, Suarez and Sanchez this season, plus Angel Di Maria, Fabrega in midfield. Messi and Toni Kroos, Messi is here, there is no place."
Everyone laughed even more embarrassingly when they heard this.
To say that the strongest lineup in Europe at present, Southampton deserves it.
But the saints are not even interested in Messi, what a day!
However, as a sworn enemy, Real Madrid should be happy.
It is estimated that Messi should be mourning at home at this time, I would have my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!
Everyone present has been in European football for many years, but now, everyone is shocked by Southampton's achievements today.
Who would have thought that it has only been five short years since Southampton's rise to the present?
It's even been less than three years since they were promoted to the Premier League.
But in the past few years, the Saints have always attracted the attention of fans all over the world.
But behind all the brilliance that made the saints, there is a young master Huan who is only in his early twenties, really...
However, the people in the chairman's office at the Bernabéu Stadium didn't know that when they were admiring the achievements of Master Huan, the Master Huan they were talking about was standing helplessly against the group of forced palaces in the Glory Square in Southampton. The guy shouted in grief and indignation, "Don't force me!"
"If you guys force me again, I'll show you to death in minutes!"
What the hell happened?
