It is impossible to say that Carvajal did not think that Valdano was serious about the decision-making power, and of course the big agent confirmed it with Baldano as soon as he learned the news from his own channels. But at that time, it was still during the World Cup, and many things were not confirmed and a series of side reasons made Baldano's reply have been tortuous. Now it's almost time, Carvajal has actually been looking for an opportunity to ask these days, after all, if it's too late, I'm afraid that Cannavaro's transfer will be a sure thing.
But as it happened, without waiting for Carvajal to make any moves, it was a phone call from Baldano. First of all, let his old partner and partner not be too nervous, at present, Real Madrid is still busy with the problem of the manager, and in terms of player recruitment, it is not that the newly appointed Calderon plans to buy whoever he wants. As a sign of sincerity, Baldano said Real Madrid were willing to sign Forlan to a new contract with more generous terms.
This phone call made Carvajal more steady, and then planned to operate newspapers, magazines and other related channels to quietly praise his players' dedication and performance in the past few seasons and their excellence in the World Cup, which played a more or less subtle role. He thought to himself that Raul and Casillas hadn't bothered him so much about the club's position so far, and Fran, a guy who would have transfer rumors every year no matter how resolutely he refused, was really more tiring than these two people combined. After all, Casillas, as the first goalkeeper in La Liga plus the backbone of the new generation of goalkeepers, has always been a heavy lock in front of Real Madrid's goal, except for a little more lace news. And Raul Gonzalez, who is a man who cares so much about his personal image, that no one would think that he could take the prince of the Bernabeu.
However, Fran has no off-the-field news after all, which is relatively worry-free.
The first time Carvajal called Fran he didn't get through, and it was Fran who dialed five minutes later. He listened in silence to the news that Carvajal had received and what he was going to do next, but after a moment he said something seemingly unrelated, "Seriously, it's great that my economist is you." ”
'It's great that my agent is you', countless people have said to Carvajal, who is the number one agent in La Liga, who has the hottest stars in La Liga, has countless operating channels in La Liga, and has maintained contacts and good relationships with many club executives. In the past, he didn't react much to this sentence, after all, whether it was a compliment or a flattery, Carvajal considered himself an excellent person. But this time, he was a little helpless. While he had a good relationship with Baldano and could help Fran in this regard, Raul would still have been able to get the news as 'captain of the team' and 'by Baldano's knowledge'.
In this way, in fact, from the beginning of the neglect of Forlan for most of the season, and later contacted reporters to report without informing him, a series of things clearly show that he thinks highly of himself, and he does not look down on a newcomer with his own name. Later, when Fran proved his strength and showed great room for improvement, when Carvajal officially got along with him, Fran had the same attitude. Of course, it's not that Fran is too focused on hiding his attitude, but that he has put everything behind before. But this abandonment is not because he 'chose to forgive Carvajal' or 'didn't realize the significance of Carvajal's actions at all', this kid saw clearly the trick that Yiqiē had put on him, he just didn't care, so Yiqiē didn't matter to him.
Cold-blooded unscrupulous businessman, this is the malicious name that many people refer to Carvajal. Whether he has a conscience or not in the eyes of others does not matter to Carvajal, after all, even he himself is happy to admit that his actions are the priority of interests and the standard businessman's behavior. But this time Carvajal had a rare lack of heart, which was multiplied by the fact that he had been trying to get Forlan into the Premier League.
"I'm here to help you stay at Real Madrid, I can stay as long as I want, as long as you want. ”
Fran took the phone that was hung up by the other party from his ear, his expression was dull and old-fashioned, and he could even be called indifferent, and his sister Elsa beside him couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad from his face at all. Elsa looked at the suitcase he had just dragged into the house, and automatically understood this as the tiredness after the flight, so tired that she was too lazy to have an expression, and the more Elsa thought about it, the more she felt that it was something her brother could do. She knew that she couldn't help with Fran's affairs, and even if her brother needed someone to explain, he couldn't ask her unless it was an unreliable love trouble, so Elsa didn't ask Fran what the news was on the other side, but just helped push his box into the corner before asking, "Why didn't you go back to your house directly?"
"The house is probably dusty, so I went back and asked someone to clean it, and there was nothing to eat at home. Fran shrugged, "Didn't you come to your parents' house because you guessed this?" Elsa couldn't refute and turned back to the kitchen.
**********************************************
When Florentino was in charge of Real Madrid, Zidane chose to retire, Figo and Owen both left in 05, Ronaldo and Carlos finally failed to withstand the pressure of time and slipped into a slump, and Beckham did not choose to renew his contract with Real Madrid. The glory of a generation of superstars has finally come to an end, and a new batch is about to set sail.
Calderón became the new president of Real Madrid, confirmed several signings, and the king of Manchester United's small penalty area decided to move to Real Madrid after Ferguson paid more attention to Cristiano Ronaldo, which can be regarded as a good reunion with Manchester United. There have been transfer rumors about Cannavaro, but the official neither synchronizes the transfer process nor denies the transfer rumors, and the whole incident is shrouded in a layer of deliberate mystery.
As for the team, Carvajal lived up to expectations and got Forlan a high salary and a seven-year contract, and seven years later, Forlan will be thirty-two years old, and it will depend on his form and choice at that time. However, the club specifically put forward a so-called mention yì, after all, Forlan's style of play is not similar to the former captain Hierro, plus Forlan is a member of the Swedish team, and the club wants Forlan to move his back number to the No. 5 position, which is also the main player position. This would allow the club to inherit the No.4 shirt for Ramos, who transferred last season, and advertise him as Hierro's successor.
In the final analysis, it is a question of Spanish nationality and playing for Spain, although it seems that there is always a sense of the club supporting newcomers to grab turf, but Ramos's defense is always completely different from his own, and as long as Cannavaro is not appointed by the top management as the airborne core, Forlan is confident that Ramos will not be able to steal his core position in a short period of time. In the end, he happily handed over the number 4 to Ramos, after all, he also likes the number 5 in the national team.
Speaking of Ramos, Fran thinks this handsome guy is actually quite interesting. He was a genius in Sevilla, and after a season of transformation from right-back to central defender, he won the title of 'best newcomer in Europe', and immediately received an olive branch from Real Madrid. Although the character is indeed proud, it is not the arrogance of conceited talent, but the character of being easy to get along with others. Except for a little tossing and turning, there is nothing wrong with that, in Fran's opinion, he is a good partner, and he hopes to be a good partner in the future.
Although it seems that he is not on the right track, Fran still feels good when he is in the situation. However, with the change of president and the resignation of Florentino, Calderón's actions will certainly not be just about bringing in players, and new requirements will be immediately introduced, "in the economic environment, the size of the academy will be greatly reduced".
When they heard the news, several people from Real Madrid's youth academy had black faces. Yes, Calderón keeps saying that the Beldebebas training base belongs to the people of Madrid, but no matter what, reducing the size of the academy will not affect the current team for a while, but what about seven or eight years later? When the time comes, it will be difficult for the academy to provide strong players for the first team, and at that time, they will say that the club will not give the youth training opportunity, who cares about this self-cutting decision a few years ago? Ask the fans, eight out of ten people will think that the investment in the academy is their own family, and it is worth it.
Just as Rafabrica, Castilla-born Raul, Guti, Casillas and Forlan all have a sense of belonging to the club, the Meilinger will have a sense of belonging to the academy players. It is said that attaching importance to education starts from children, not from the youth camp, and who can still say from the bottom of their hearts that 'my heart is eternal'?
From several signings, it was assumed that Calderón was determined to take a very different path from Florentino, with critics saying that 'Real Madrid will move from glitz and glamour to pragmatism under Calderon'. Calderón simply slapped the face, scaled back the academy and sent many of the young players home, but what he thought was good for the kids was met with a very different set of opposition than expected.
In Calderon's office, opposite sat Valdano with a coffee cup and was silent, Baldano didn't react to Calderon's anxious cousin, after all, his decision was because he didn't want to invest too much money in the academy, where is there a way to save money and get a good reputation?
In his heart, Baldano began to report on his recent work, "The decision to bring in Cannavaro, we have studied it deeply or we do not recommend it. Of course, the Italians are very good, but Salgado and Carlos are not gone, Ramos is growing rapidly last season, and Forlan has shown that he can take on the heavy responsibility, joining Cannavaro, what to do with the backline?"
Seeing that Calderón was silent, Baldano continued, "We have a core of defense that we have gradually cultivated, and if we bring in the Italian, we don't think he can stay at the top of his life at Real Madrid for long, and the defense will have to be adjusted and integrated in two or three seasons or so. And there's no guarantee that he'll be able to transition seamlessly with the team. "At times like these, whether it's for that reason or not, fans will see this core change as a further disintegration and distrust of Calderón's own players who came through the Academy, and it will be even more ugly.
Calderón looked out the window at the gloomy weather, and Baldano turned his gaze out the window. How can it be so good, this position? Florentino's superstar policy has made Real Madrid famous, and after so many years, he will not know that there is a big problem with accumulating so many stars, but he can only do it this way. Calderón wants to completely repudiate the 'Zidane + Pavon' policy, but what has his approach changed in the end?
"Oh yes," Baldano said as if he had just remembered it, "our relationship with Capello is in the final stages, Juventus has been relegated, Capello has resigned and is looking for a home. He said he wants the team to be disciplined and defensive, and although he is Italian with Cannavaro, Capello said he appreciates Alvarez's appearance. "And the meaning of the future head coach is self-evident.
"What do you call that kid?" Calderon sighed, knowing that Cannavaro's transfer plan had probably fallen through. Baldano lowered his head and closed his notebook, hooking the corners of his lips at an angle Calderon couldn't see, "That kid?" ”
