Chapter 482: He is definitely worthy of Real Madrid's jersey!

Yang Fan embarked on a journey back to the European continent, he did not return to Germany, nor did he return to the United Kingdom, he went to watch the European Cup. [I love to read]

The 13th European Championship in 2008 was jointly hosted by Switzerland and Austria, two beautiful countries dedicated an absolute visual feast to fans, and now the game has reached the semi-finals, although the tournament has not yet ended, but this European Championship still attracted a lot of applause, after the 2004 Greek team's 'absolute defense' utilitarian football tournament, the summer of 2008 this European Championship was wonderful, considered the return of offensive football. It has also been hailed by the media as a 'return of football victory'.

Before the semi-finals, Yang Fan sat in front of the TV at home to watch, and the biggest surprise for him in this European Championship was the Spanish team. Before the start of the European Cup, Yang Fan also guessed the champion of this event, he was more inclined to the 2006 World Cup champion Italy team, and the 2002 World Cup runner-up German team, in addition, the French team and the Netherlands team also have a good chance, the Spanish team?

As early as before the start of the 2008 European Championship, the captain of the Spanish national team, Casillas, promised fans that he would bring the team to the final, but for this promise, even Spanish fans did not dare to have much hope, after all, Spain has always been known as the "king of qualifiers", and their gorgeous but soft style of play has always made them unable to break the curse of the first round of the knockout round in the world series in recent years. Especially in this year's European Cup, the old coach Aragonés completely gave up Raul and chose to take a team with an average age of only 26 years old to Austria.

However, after the start of the European Cup, this Iberian Peninsula team immediately attracted Yang Fan's attention.

In the group stage, Spain swept Guus Hiddink's Russian team 4-1 in the first game, and the "new seven" Villa, who took over Raul's mantle, scored a hat trick; in the second game, Villa's last-minute goal helped the team defeat Sweden with Ibrahimovic 2-1 and qualify ahead of schedule; in the third game of the group stage, the recuperated Spanish team still defeated the defending champion Greece 2-1.

At this time, Yang Fan changed his perception of this team, and he began to think that the Spanish team might really be able to win the championship.

Of course, this is just Yang Fan's feeling, in fact, even after the group stage, the smooth sailing Spain is not recognized as the biggest favorite, because the Netherlands, who swept France and Italy in the group of death, have a higher support rating.

In the quarter-finals, Spain faced a double curse – not reaching the semi-finals of a major tournament in 24 years and not beating opponents Italy in 88. And, on the same day six years ago (June 22), Spain was eliminated from the 2002 World Cup penalty shootout defeat to South Korea. So when the match between Spain and Italy went to a penalty shootout 0-0, the young Spanish team faced the pressure and challenge of history. The penalty shoot-out became a battle between two of the best goalkeepers in the world, Casillas and Gianluigi Buffon. In the end, captain Casillas, who saved two penalties, made all the previous history and spells go away.

Spain reached the semi-finals.

Yang Fan came to Vienna, the capital of Austria, to watch the semi-final at the Ernst Haple Arena in Vienna, against Spain and Russia.

※※※※※※※

Austria is known as the "heart of Europe" and Vienna is the "heart of the heart". Since ancient times, Vienna has been a transport hub between Eastern and Western Europe and an important gateway between the Baltic and Adriatic Seas.

Vienna is known as the capital of music, and music has been inseparable from Vienna for centuries. It is a sacred place that gave birth to musical geniuses such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Johann Strauss. Vienna's long musical heritage continues to this day. The world-famous Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Vienna Children's Choir are always greeted with applause by the audience during their tours around the world. The Vienna Conservatory continues to produce musicians who stand out in the international music scene. 【To read the latest chapters of this book, please search】In addition, Vienna's rich and vibrant modern music scene and venues attract many young people. For those who love music, Vienna will never be forgotten. Vienna is almost a day without music. As one strolls, one can hear the elegant waltz at any time. On summer nights, open-air music concerts are held in the park, where melodious jumps are mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, and reverberate in the evening breeze. Many families in Vienna have a tradition of indoor playing, especially when the family is happy, and beautiful melodies are played throughout the streets. What's even more interesting is that when there are gatherings, celebrations, and even political events, it has almost become a common practice to play a piece of classical music before and after the meeting.

However, when he came out of the airport, the only feeling that Vienna gave Yang Fan was that in the breath and breath, the only melody was football, the atmosphere of football, and the factor of football!

Yang Fan placed a €100 bet on a betting spot outside the hotel to win Spain's opponent Russia, whom they had beaten 4-1 in the group stage. Of course, when the game reaches the knockout stage, especially when it comes to the semi-finals, the results of the group stage are no longer of much value. You know, Russia is definitely the biggest dark horse in this European Cup, and now Russia is in full swing, this is the Russian team that eliminated the Dutch team in the quarterfinals, and Russia with Arshavin is completely different from the first defeat to Spain in the group stage.

The long-distance trip was relatively tiring, and when he entered the hotel room, Yang Fan began to fall asleep. These days he just wants to enjoy being a fan.

Under the same night sky, in the same city, in one of the top suites at the Hilton.

"What do the Portuguese say?" In the suite there is a small conference room where the three giants of Real Madrid are meeting. Calderón, the president of Real Madrid, Mijatovic, the general manager of Real Madrid, and Schuster, the German, is the current manager of Real Madrid. Spain reached the semi-finals of the European Cup, and the president of Real Madrid naturally came to the scene to watch the game, but Schuster is a German, and he has no reason to cheer for Spain, so the big three of Real Madrid club get together, and the discussion is naturally not a match between Spain and Russia.

Just a few days ago, Mijatovic had a meeting with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo's economic man Mendes, and in the course of this secret meeting, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared halfway through and quietly left half an hour later.

Calderón just ended the 2007/2008 season, and when the transfer market had not yet opened, he shouted out to the world Real Madrid's love for Cristiano Ronaldo.

The players themselves want to come, so what's the difference?

It's just that what Real Madrid didn't expect was that they met an opponent, Sir Alex Ferguson, the head coach of Manchester United, and the godfather of Manchester United! This old Scottish man with a red and red wine nose resisted Real Madrid's offensive alone, and the old man hated Real Madrid's arrogant behavior, and resolutely opposed the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, and even did not hesitate to shout that Real Madrid wanted to get Cristiano Ronaldo, unless he died, otherwise, don't even think about it.

Suffice it to say, Calderon now has a deep grudge against Ferguson. When Calderón ran for president of Real Madrid, the slogan was to bring Kaka and Robben to the Bernabeu, and then Robben came, but the Kaka that Real Madrid fans were looking forward to the most did not come, which made Calderón very faceless.

Cristiano Ronaldo has always said that he has no time to think about personal transfers before the end of the European Championships, however, now that Portugal has been eliminated, Real Madrid also want to know Cristiano Ronaldo's latest attitude.

Real Madrid's manager, Schuster, sat on the sidelines with some emotion. He knew that he was just a foil in this meeting.

※※※※※※※

Schuster was disappointed because the player he wanted to keep couldn't be saved, and he felt that the seat of Real Madrid's manager under his ass was not as good as he imagined. Previously, Calderón publicly announced that he was going to add Robinho to the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, which greatly hurt Robinho's self-esteem. He is not willing to be an addition to someone else's transfer.

Just a week ago, Robinho had a telephone conversation with Calderón and Schuster, and Robinho insisted that Real Madrid let him go to Chelsea. Although Schuster still wants the Brazilian to stay, Robinho's breakthrough on the flanks has been very important in his tactics, but Calderon and Mijatovic have both given the green light to Robinho's departure!

In fact, Robinho insisted on going for three reasons. The scandal between Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo has damaged Robinho's pride, and 'Pelé II' sees himself as in no way inferior to the Portuguese. Real Madrid's first offer implicated Robinho, and the cyclist decided that the Real Madrid hierarchy lacked respect for him. Real Madrid's top management had already agreed to Robinho's participation in the Beijing Olympics, but Real Madrid was afraid that Robinho's injury would affect the transfer transaction, and Real Madrid unilaterally claimed that Robinho would miss the Olympics with a metatarsal injury, which made the 'cycling maniac' very dissatisfied. Robinho is quite angry at the approach of the Real Madrid management, he wants to transfer to Chelsea, financial considerations are the most secondary factor, the contract extension offered by Real Madrid and Chelsea's offer price is not large, Robinho is heartbroken by the Real Madrid management.

Although the main topic of today's talks was the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, Schuster is still insisting on keeping Robinho, and the German believes that "Robinho can break the balance on the pitch at any time and place", but Calderon believes Mijatovic's report, and Mijatovic said that Robben, who is in excellent form, can make up for the vacancy after Robinho's departure. Rather than leave a ticking time bomb behind, Calderon would rather send him to Stamford Bridge. The crux of the matter at the moment is the price, with Chelsea offering €30 million, but Real Madrid are hoping to recoup at least €40 million.

So, while Calderon and Mijatovich were talking, Schuster did not say a word, he was depressed, and the Germans considered themselves to have been excluded from decision-making circles. Robinho's transfer is the best proof of this. Schuster wants to keep Robinho, but Calderón and Mijatovic completely ignore him, and Schuster feels like a daughter-in-law. In addition, Calderon and Mijatovic's approach has also made Schuster worry about his authority in the dressing room, and a manager who wants to keep the players he likes but can't keep them has a huge impact on the manager's convincing attitude in the dressing room.

※※※※※※※

Mijatovic looked at Calderon's expectant eyes, then shook his head: "There's nothing to say, I tried my best to persuade him, hoping that he can put pressure on Manchester United, and it is better to make a public statement that he wants to come to Real Madrid." However, it is clear that the Portuguese did not dare to do that, he was afraid of Ferguson. It's almost impossible to ask a small child to provoke a stern parent. ”

"And what did he say?" Calderon asked, looking unpleasant.

"What else can I say. Mijatovic shrugged," he said, adding that as long as he could get the old Scottish man, he wouldn't have any problems there. ”

"&&%%!" Calderón scolded. I just don't know if I'm scolding Cristiano Ronaldo or Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.

"I can't force him, in fact, even if I force him, it's useless, he is clearly determined...... No matter what I say, it's useless, he's afraid of Ferguson, and he doesn't dare to turn his face with the old Scottish man. ”

"In that case, Robinho doesn't have to go?" Schuster, who was next to him, suddenly interjected.

Mijatovic glanced at him, knowing that he must be reluctant and hopeful. 'Robinho has to go, he's a bomb in the dressing room right now, and what he said angered the fans and they didn't like him anymore. Robben could have done better than Robinho, and the Dutchman has already made progress. ”

"Van der Vaart?" Schuster asked.

"That's right, Burger has relented. Up to 15 million euros can be done. Mijatovic said, "Congratulations, Bernd. ”

Schuster nodded noncommittally, in fact, Van der Vaart is not a player he has handpicked, and Van der Vaart's best position is still a second striker. Excellent ball control, full of spirit in front of the penalty area, good feeling in front of the goal, and shooting actions are even more varied, but if it is placed in the midfield, the organization and coordination ability is slightly poor, and it cannot be the core of the organization. However, in Real Madrid, no matter how bad the game is, Raul's position cannot be moved. Therefore, after Van der Vaart came to Real Madrid, Schuster still had a headache about how to arrange the Dutch......

Calderón coughed: "Robinho's matter has been decided, don't say it again." Let's move on to Cristiano Ronaldo. ”

"Don't worry, Cristiano Ronaldo will come. The Scotsman is just bluffing the way he is now, and it's just a means for him to increase his transfer fee. The transfer period is still long, so there is no hurry. Mijatovic said with relief, Calderón.

Real Madrid fans have long been unhappy with his job, and this time, if Mijatovic is not able to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, his seat under Mijatovic's ass will be shaky.

Schuster sneered in his heart, he didn't think Manchester United would let Cristiano Ronaldo go, he knew the old Scottish man, Ferguson definitely didn't just talk casually, it didn't seem like it was for money, Ferguson was using this attitude to fight back at Real Madrid's arrogance and disrespect. Of course, Schuster is not unwelcome Cristiano Ronaldo, and no manager would refuse to have such a player under his command, but he is more rational and thinks it is unrealistic.

At this time, Schuster also had to accept the fact that Robinho left, and he said, "Robinho's affairs, I accept it." ”

“ok。 Calderón smiled with satisfaction.

"But now we have to bring in a heavyweight in the front line. Van Nistelrooy is too old, and Raul's form is unstable. After compromising, Schuster began to fight for his own voice, "We can't expect the Dutchman and Raul to afford close to 60 games in a season. ”

Calderon and Mijatovic heard that Schuster was negotiating terms, and he could accept Robinho being sold, however, he asked for a striker to be bought.

However, the two also know that Schuster is not talking nonsense, Real Madrid's forward line is indeed aging, and Ruud van Nistelrooy and Raul are both old, and buying a striker is a reasonable request.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is coming...... Mijatovic said.

"The Portuguese is not a pure striker. Schuster immediately said, "I'm asking for a goalscorer, and it doesn't conflict with Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival. ”

Calderon touched his chin, looked at the head coach who suddenly came to his senses, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "Burner, you already have a favorite player?"

Schuster said for a long time, just waiting for this sentence.

"Yang Fan. He said the name, "The Bundesliga has won the Golden Boot for two consecutive years, the European Golden Boot, last year's European Golden Boy Award, set a record for goals in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Cup! Now Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are all vying for him, this is a top star, I swear, his future achievements are definitely not below Cristiano Ronaldo! This is the most popular young man in Europe at the moment, except for Cristiano Ronaldo! Ferguson had already named him, Wenger gritted his teeth and was planning to raise money to buy him, Mourinho declared that he didn't want him, and Klinsmann also publicly stated that he wanted to bring him in!" Schuster finished speaking in one breath, and finally, he didn't forget to say, "He definitely deserves the Real Madrid jersey." The Bernabeu needs a star like that!"

Schuster spat and flew, eager to praise Yang Fan as a flower.
