"Do you feel unaccustomed to it?"

When Yang Yang heard the gentle and somewhat joking question coming from beside him, he immediately turned around.

I don't know when, standing beside him was a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties, also wearing a dark suit, his hair was neatly combed, but he was short and slightly middle-aged. , the image gives the impression that it is not tall.

Wearing a pair of gentle glasses, with the kind smile on his face when the elders look at the younger generation, it makes people feel more cordial.

Yang Yang recognized it at once, this is not...

"Mr. Perez?" Yang Yang was a little surprised.

President of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez!

Darling, this is a figure that only exists in media reports. Although I heard that he has been under tremendous pressure recently, and rumors about his resignation are endless, he has been at the helm of Real Madrid for the past six years.

With Real Madrid's status and influence in world football, coupled with Florentino's wrist and ability, his influence in the professional football world is really amazing.

"Call me Florentino, Yang." Florentino smiled and held out the glass of red wine in his right hand, "I like my friends to call me by name."

It was only at this time that Yang Yang noticed that he was walking towards him with a glass of wine in one hand.

"Thank you, Florentino." Yang Yang also regained his calm.

For him, surprise is a sudden thing.

He can be considered to have seen the world now, and he has long passed the rookie stage of chasing stars.

Florentino seemed very interested in him, and invited him to a place where there was less people to chat.

Standing at the entrance, it is indeed a bit too conspicuous, especially in a popular situation like Yang Yang, who knows when the media reporters will report it.

Of course, it's not uncommon for them to be like this in the opera house, because it's a show and a party, and everyone is standing together in groups of three or five to chat, there is no such thing as the sword drawn on the court. oppositional atmosphere.

If gossip is going to be spread, it's all over the place.

"To be honest, I'm not used to this kind of occasion, and I thought about not participating." Yang Yang said with a frank and wry smile.

"No no no." Florentino shook his head, "You should come, not only this year, but every year in the future, it's like a certification, you know what I mean? When you get out of the car Come down, walk down the red carpet, walk into the Opera House, you're still the same you, but in the eyes of fans around the world, you've changed."

Yang Yang nodded and vaguely figured out what he meant.

Sometimes, the strength of some players is not very different, and even the roles played in their respective clubs and the achievements they have achieved are not too different, but it gives the impression that they are two different levels of players.

This is a very complicated assessment, and the information that media reporters and fans can receive comes from all sides, but this FIFA determination is relatively the most weighty basis.

Top 30, Top 10, Top 5, Top 3...

But if it is just shortlisted, it is not enough, so we need such a show, a grand event that attracts the attention of the world.

More than 160 countries live simultaneously, from the red carpet just now to the next performance and award ceremony.

Yang Yang can imagine that the scene of his red carpet walk will be broadcast live to every corner of the world, and tomorrow, the world's major media newspapers, fashion and entertainment magazines may publish photos of him walking the red carpet.

This will keep him firmly in the minds of fans around the world, while also recognizing his new identity, A-list star.

Yang Yang is now beginning to understand a little why his teammates are so envious when they hear that he is invited, and every year, many people come to take the initiative to rub the red carpet, and there are also many artists in the entertainment industry to rub the red carpet of various film festivals.

To put it bluntly, it is for this purpose.

Seeing that Yang Yang had something to gain, Florentino's eyes flashed with a look of admiration.

He heard that Yang Yang is a top student at the Rotterdam School of Management, a world-renowned business administration institution, which is obviously not fake.

"You know, professional football is completely different from the past. In the earliest days, players only needed to care about playing well, but then with commercial sponsorship, the situation was different, and then there was live TV, and now it is more With the internet... the times are changing and professional football is constantly evolving with the times."

Yang Yang nodded again and again, very much agreeing with the judgment of the Real Madrid president, which was indeed the case.

"Do you know us at Real Madrid?" Florentino asked.

"Of course, Florentino, the greatest club of the twentieth century." Yang Yang nodded.

"That represents the past, boy, we are trying to be the greatest club of the 21st century."

In a word, Yang Yang saw strong ambition from Florentino.

"Actually, a lot of people have misunderstandings about us at Real Madrid, and they even have misunderstandings about professional football."

Yang Yang frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't particularly understand."

"There are a lot of discussions and criticisms about us outside, even groundless accusations and bombardments. They will think that we are too addicted to superstars, blindly focus on commercial returns and economic benefits, and seriously ignore the competitive aspect."

Yang Yang didn't expect that Florentino would talk about this to himself.

"But they were all wrong, and horribly wrong."

"Oh?"

"When I was four years old, my father took me into the stadium and let me watch Real Madrid games, and since then, everything about Real Madrid has been inseparable from my life, I have seen a lot of Great players, like Di Stefano, Gento, etc., they were the best players in the world at the time."

"Mr Bernabeu is a great president, he reached the highest point in the history of Real Madrid, he made Real Madrid have the best players in the world, this is what everyone sees on the surface, but in reality? How can Real Madrid pay What about the transfer fees and salaries of the best players?"

It was the first time Yang Yang heard someone talk to him about the operation and history of the club so frankly, and he was very interested.

Especially a giant team like Real Madrid.

"The core income of the club at that time was tickets, so the great Bernabeu chairman built the current Bernabeu Stadium, which was the best stadium in the world at that time. With this stadium, Real Madrid had the highest ticket revenue. So we have top stars like Di Stefano, Gento, Puskas and Kepa."

Speaking of which, Florentino told Yang Yang with great certainty, "Remember, children, in the world of professional football, the economy and the competition are intertwined, and the success of any club is the combination of the economy and the competition. results."

"When Zidane came to Real Madrid at a sky-high price, our sponsorship fee increased tenfold. Some people said that it was a process with high investment, high risk and high output, but our case was included in the Harvard Business School. In research programmes, 150 business schools around the world are studying the Real Madrid model, including your current Rotterdam School of Management."

Although Yang Yang was admitted to the Rotterdam School of Management, he did not actually attend classes, which was specially approved by the school, but listening to Florentino's affirmation, it should be correct.

"You studied business administration, and you must be very clear that if a company has a lot of cash flow, it means that the company is doing well, and in the field of professional football, the players are the cash flow of the club."

Yang Yang now understood what Florentino meant, "but players are obviously more complicated and changeable than money."

Florentino nodded again with appreciation: "That's right, this is the problem we are facing now at Real Madrid."

"We have some problems internally, but our club is still the best, we have the most attractive image in the world, we never criticize referees, players and managers, we are with all clubs good competition and cooperation.”

"Here, we have a complete set of programs that can train our players to become the most outstanding top stars in the world, and at the same time, we can also provide a broader platform for the best and best players to wear our Real Madrid jersey to play."

"All the media journalists and fans around the world believe that only the best players can play at Real Madrid."

Florentino didn't speak quickly, and his tone was always calm, which made Yang Yang very comfortable to hear.

Although it was only the first time they met, Florentino left a deep impression on him.

This is definitely not the one reported by the outside media, the Real Madrid president who only knows how to make money but knows nothing about football.

On the contrary, he knows professional football well, maybe even better than everyone else.

It may be precisely because he understands the essence of professional football too much that many of the things he has done are not understood and recognized by ordinary people.

"We had a problem with our Galactic Wars, our locker room lacked a healthy competition mechanism, which made our cash flow problem as a company, but we have started to solve this problem, so we brought in Robbie Neo, and this coming summer, we're going to do everything we can to bring you in."

"Me?" Yang Yang was a little flattered, and his heartbeat accelerated.

The president of Real Madrid himself told him to try his best to introduce him?

"Yes, including me and Real Madrid, everyone believes that in the next ten years, you and Robinho are the best candidates to represent Real Madrid to the football field, especially you!"

"You are our future!"

Yang Yang was a little overwhelmed, because he didn't know what reaction he should give.

That's Real Madrid!

Even if it was like Van der Vaart and Escud, in the summer of 2004, when they heard that Real Madrid wanted to buy them, they hardly had any thought of rejecting them, and they agreed without hesitation.

Who can turn down Real Madrid?

The answer is, no!

Even top stars like Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham and Owen couldn't say no.

Yang Yang asked himself, he couldn't refuse this temptation.

Especially when Florentino himself told him that he would be Real Madrid's most important player for the next decade.
