Chapter 747: Gao Han's Legacy
As one of Europe's most famous real estate tycoons, Florentino's skills and insight are far from being matched by footballers, which made him succeed Sanz in 2000 as president of Real Madrid, and soon became the most core member of the G14 group of European giants.
With the help of the G14 platform, Florentino has an extraordinary relationship with many European giants, which has also become a guarantee that he has always been able to recruit superstars.
After arriving in Milan, he had dinner with Moratti, Berlusconi and Galliani, and many things were negotiated at the dinner table, such as Inter Milan's Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer intentions.
After talking to Kaka's father Bosco in the morning, Florentino invited Galliani to dinner at noon, intending to hold a three-party signing ceremony in the hotel's conference room in the afternoon to formalize the agreement.
Although it is only a secret agreement, as long as it is signed, Kaka basically belongs to Real Madrid.
After an hour's lunch break, he went to the conference room with Galliani and talked and laughed while waiting for the arrival of Kaka and his son.
The main topic is undoubtedly the current Serie A landscape.
"In the past two years, Moratti has been following the strategy set out by Gao Han, and in the past two years, the team has updated its midfield and iterated at the back, and a number of players, including Leonardo Bonucci, Yaya Toure, Marchisio and Hamsik, have gradually taken the lead and performed well. ”
Speaking of this, Galliani's eyes could not hide envy, even a little jealousy.
These treasures are legacies from the alpine period, and as a result, they have become the pillars of Inter Milan today.
"It is precisely because of the metabolism of the central midfield that Inter Milan will target the front three of the team this summer, as they need to sell superstar players to cash in for a significant amount of money to invest in the construction of the new stadium. ”
"At the end of the day, Moratti is also out of money. Galliani said in a funny and helpless tone.
Moratti is out of money, isn't Berlusconi?
Italy's economy has been sluggish in recent years, and has even gotten worse, much to Galliani's deep concern.
Without a strong economy, how can professional football be played?
What's more, Serie A is far less open than the Premier League, and foreign investors are rarely interested in them.
"I can feel it from my negotiations with Moratti. Florentino agreed with Galliani's judgment.
"Even if Inter Milan sells the superstar in the front, they are still very sure of the new season of Serie A. ”
"Hmm. Galliani does not deny, "The foundation left by Gao Han is solid enough, players such as Cambiasso, Adriano, Evra, Cesar and McCone are all in their playing years, and youngsters such as Yaya Toure, Hamsik and Bonucci have grown rapidly and succeeded smoothly, even if they do sell Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo, it will not have much impact on Inter Milan." ”
"I've heard that they have already contacted Genoa's Argentine striker, Diego Milito?" Florentino asked tentatively.
"There are rumors like this, but I don't know the specifics. Galliani laughed.
"Juventus has developed rapidly in the past two seasons, but to be honest, the foundation is still too weak, and neither the club's management ability nor the overall strength of the team has returned to the level before the relegation. ”
Galliani shook his head with a wry smile, "As long as Inter Milan continues to follow the route drawn up by Gao Han, in the next two or three years, it is estimated that no team will be able to challenge their supremacy, and wait until their new stadium is completed......"
In the end, Galliani suddenly shook his head and sighed, "Even though Gao Han has been away for two years, he is still ruling Serie A." ”
This is undoubtedly a rather desperate thing.
Such words came from the mouth of a figure like Galliani, and Florentino couldn't help but be moved.
There are many legends about Gao Han, and even he is far more than just a head coach, but unfortunately, Florentino knows in his heart that Gao Han will not come to coach Real Madrid.
At least not for a short time.
Because after he made an appointment with Jorge Mendes, the Portuguese agent clearly told Florentino that Gao Han had no consideration of returning to La Liga to coach in the short term, and politely declined Real Madrid's invitation.
That's why Florentino couldn't wait to finish what was at hand, flying from Madrid to Milan to personally handle the transfers of Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic.
Thankfully, everything is going well now.
Thinking of this, Florentino flipped his left wrist and looked at the time on his watch, it was already the time agreed by both parties, but why hadn't Kaka and his son come yet?
Florentino frowned a little strangely, and Baldano, who was standing beside him, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to call and ask?"
The president of Real Madrid thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, let's wait." ”
But the more I waited, the more I felt uneasy, and I always felt as if something bad was going to happen.
After many years in the mall, Florentino has developed a keen sense of smell, and always feels that Bosco is very active in the morning, and he should come early to sign in the afternoon, so why is he late?
He also had an ominous premonition in his heart, because he had been borrowing the momentum of the high cold, consciously or unconsciously.
This is a very normal thing at the business negotiation table, and the use of information asymmetry to create a negotiation situation.
And once the agreement with Kaka is signed, even if Gao Han does not come, Real Madrid can completely prevaricate and say that he will do his best, but Gao Han refuses to come to the Bernabeu to coach, this is the truth, and it can be said that he can be at ease, isn't it?
But what if it's ......
Just as Florentino's thoughts were on his mind, there was a knock on the door to the conference room.
As soon as the door opened, I saw the Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes standing alone outside the door.
He is also one of Kaka's agents, but he has not been involved in the transfer negotiations from start to finish.
This made Florentino and Galliani, who have always been good at perceiving people, secretly surprised in their hearts.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Florentino, I'm very sorry that Kaka can't move to Real Madrid. ”
In the end, it was Jorge Mendez, whose skin was thicker than the city walls, and when he said this kind of remorse, his face was not red or breathless, and he even had a little sense of taking it for granted.
Florentino's heart jumped, and he secretly screamed, sure enough, the ominous foreboding had been fulfilled.
But on the surface, he still had a gentlemanly smile, "Why? Jorge, is it because he is not satisfied with the treatment of the contract, or with individual terms? It doesn't matter, we can talk about it again." ”
"No, no, no, Mr. Florentino, absolutely not. Mendes shook his head with a smile, "We are very touched by the sincerity of Real Madrid, and we have no opinion on the treatment and terms, but ......."
Florentino looked at Mendes with a smile on his face, waiting for him to continue.
"It's just...... He really can't go to Real Madrid. ”
"Why?" asked Florentino, smiling.
As a well-known real estate tycoon in Europe, even if he just doesn't smile, he sits there with a lot of momentum.
But who is Mendez?
How many winds and waves have I seen in the past few years, where can I still be afraid?
"I'm sure Mr. Florentino knows very well that Kaka has always wanted to play under Alpine, which is why he agreed to join Real Madrid, and for the same reason, he can't play at the Bernabeu now. ”
Jorge Mendes's words are a bit of a counterattack, piercing Florentino's previous intentional or unintentional borrowing behavior, and clearly telling Florentino that it was not Kaka who repented, but that he was almost blinded by you before.
Florentino was no ordinary person, knowing that the matter was irreparable by now.
From the first time he met Bosco, he knew very well that as long as Gao Han came forward, Kaka and his son would not have a second choice, so he mentioned Gao Han from beginning to end, intentionally or unintentionally, and repeatedly emphasized that Real Madrid would do their best to invite Gao Han to coach.
Now it seems that it was Gao Han who came forward.
"Mr. Gao Han is also coming to Milan?" Florentino asked with a smile.
Listening to his tone, it seems that Gao Han has come to Milan, and he must come to visit.
"No, he's in Bilbao now. ”
"Bilbao?" Florentino knew about this place, but he was a little curious about how Gao Han was there, and very strange, since Gao Han was in Bilbao, how to convince Kaka?
Mendez is also a smart person, knowing the meaning of the inquiry in Florentino's eyes, he hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Kaka and his son were already on their way to the hotel, but Gao Han called him. ”
"What did you say?" asked Galliani.
That's a €65 million transfer income for AC Milan, without which the Rossoneri will have no money to invest in transfer operations this summer, let alone keep Kaka, which will greatly increase the financial pressure on the club.
"Nothing. Mendes smiled at the two, "Gao Han just said that he was going to Manchester City and hoped that Kaka would also play for Manchester City, and Kaka seemed to hesitate for no more than five seconds before agreeing." ”
After saying that, Mendez smirked smugly.
It is indeed worth showing off, because looking at the whole of Europe, except for the high cold, there is no second person who has such ability, and can mess up Real Madrid's superstar recruitment of more than 60 million euros with just a phone call of less than a minute.
Florentino also felt very helpless about this, because his opponent was Gao Han.
Invincible alpintry!
It can be said that as long as Gao Han came forward, he would have lost.
"There's one thing I'm wondering about, why would he rather choose Manchester City than come to Real Madrid?" Florentino felt very unwilling, he wondered why.
If you want to be sincere, he dares to say that he will definitely not be less than Manchester City, but why Manchester City, not Real Madrid?
"He's a very emotional person, Florentino, he's not like us. Mendes also replied with a rare and frank answer.
In fact, the three bigwigs present are all the same kind of people, businessmen.
But Gao Han is not.
Florentino understood, and knew that it was not negotiable.
Although it was very devastating, he could afford to put it down.
"Jorge, you have something else to tell me, right?" Florentino sat back in his seat, and with a wave of his right hand, he had the courage to come up with thousands of troops.
Mendes was debunked and nodded with a wry smile: "I inform you by the way, there is no way to continue the transfer negotiations on Cristiano Ronaldo. ”
With what happened to Kaka just now, Florentino was mentally prepared for what happened to Cristiano Ronaldo.
It was also the first time that he felt that the golden sign of Real Madrid, as well as the capital that he was most proud of, were not omnipotent.
And Galliani on the side felt even more creepy.
For the first time, he experienced first-hand the influence of Gao Han's ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain with just one phone call.
It's horrible!
