"Calderón convinces Real Madrid's board of directors to spend 200 million euros!"

"Real Madrid wants to buy Zhen Shaolong in winter!"

"Amazing!"

"200 million is just the transfer funds prepared, Real Madrid will open a big contract of the century!"

After this news was revealed, it immediately became the hottest news before Christmas, and every media participated in it, carrying out a series of reprints and analysis reports.

According to detailed information from the Madrid side, Calderón held four consecutive board meetings in a month, launched a fan rally and visited several figures who had a huge impact on Real Madrid.

In the beginning, Calderón's series of activities were seen as 'struggles before death'.

According to statistics from the Spanish newspaper As, Calderón's support has been declining, coupled with the revelation of the 'vote rigging incident', and the Madrid court case is still pending, it is only a matter of time before he steps down.

'Vote rigging' is not a big deal.

According to the previous 'internal rules' of Real Madrid, as long as Calderón has the support of the majority of members, even if some scandals are exposed, it will not directly affect the chairmanship.

It would be different if he lost the support of his members, and the outcome of the 'vote rigging' incident would certainly be very unfavorable to Calderón, and would then be the direct reason for his resignation.

So Calderón has to get more support.

Calderón's continuous activities are indeed 'struggles', but what the outside world has not expected is that his 'struggles' are not just to convince directors and celebrities, but to really do practical things.

Introducing the stars!

In the past two years, the hottest star in Europe and even the world is Zhen Shaolong, he broke the goal record in the Bundesliga, broke the goal record in the UEFA Cup, and after transferring to Newcastle United, he broke the goal record in the Premier League.

This kind of star who likes to break the goal record is sure to be popular with the fans.

"Calderón can successfully bring Zhen Shaolong to the Bernabeu Stadium, and his support among the fans will definitely skyrocket!"

"This is the most successful strategy!"

"200 million euros is definitely a big deal, and it can convince the directors of Real Madrid to agree to come up with so much money, just because the goal is Zhen Shaolong......"

It all sounds incredible.

200 million euros!

Ordinary top league clubs are hardly worth more than 200 million euros, such as Michael Ashley's acquisition of Newcastle United, which cost only more than 300 million euros, Newcastle United is still a big club, and the scale of English football can rank among the top five.

Most other clubs are much worse off.

200 million euros is enough to buy most clubs (if they can be traded), and this money is definitely a very, very luxury to buy only one player.

Even the top stars, most of them are worth only about 50 million euros, so far, the most expensive transfer in world football still belongs to French star Zidane, who joined Real Madrid when he was worth 75 million euros, creating an 'unthinkable' figure.

Is it about to be surpassed now?

"Zidane's worth is only 75 million, and he has to prepare 200 million funds to buy Zhen Shaolong......"

"Three Zidane!"

"Now the value of players is a bit inflated, ten or twenty years ago, a player like Zhen Shaolong, tens of millions of euros was enough to ......"

The reports in the Spanish and French media are obviously a bit sour, because Real Madrid is a Spanish club, and Zinedine Zidane, who set the transfer record, is a French legend.

The Spanish media is relatively better, because Real Madrid is planning to bring Zhen Shaolong to the Bernabeu Stadium, and many Madrid media are looking forward to it, "If Zhen Shaolong can join, Real Madrid will create further brilliance than a few years ago!" ”

"Zhen Shaolong is not comparable to Zidane!"

"Zidane's skills are very superb, but Zhen Shaolong can bring direct goals and help the team win the game!"

“……”

The hot reports from the outside world also affected Zhen Shaolong.

A group of team-mates were talking about the news and asking if he would join Real Madrid, and Owen's advice was, "Don't go!" That's a team that only looks at famous balloons! I was a bit of a bad name, the coach always asked me to play as a substitute, and I had to give Raul a ......."

"You're not Zhen!"

Smith ruthlessly pointed out the key, "If Zhen joins Real Madrid, he will definitely become a star of the house, and his fame is also the greatest, who can compare with him?" So, according to what you said, even if he doesn't perform well, he can still start every game......"

Owen stopped talking.

He felt his fragile mind being hammered by the cloak.

'If there are no surprises, of course I won't leave the team, especially since it's winter.' Zhen Shaolong said with certainty.

When he returned home, he was still thinking about it, "Real Madrid wants to buy, 200 million euros...... If it was before, it would be enough to pay liquidated damages, so should I raise my salary again? ”

Zhen Shaolong was a little looking forward to it.

Like doing ordinary work, a salary increase is always a happy thing, and when a large company offers a good salary to poach a corner, he suddenly feels that the salary he gets is a little bottom.

And then.

He asked Alice.

Alice's reply was, "The people at Real Madrid have been contacting you, their president has spoken to me a few times, and then I told them to only accept normal transfers and let them talk to the club first. ”

Zhen Shaolong nodded.

Alice's approach is correct, when it comes to Zhen Shaolong's fame, the income from commercial endorsements has long been higher than the salary, and the support of fans is more important than anything else, and the external image must be maintained.

It's like transfer-related things, it must be normal and formal, even if it is because of something, it must make fans think that he is a 'passive', 'victimized', and 'helpless' party, rather than doing something regardless of the impact.

Unless it is a last resort, it is best to go through the formal process of transfers.

Meantime.

Real Madrid and Newcastle United have already made the first steps of communication, but the results have not been satisfactory.

Calderon wanted to get Zhen Shaolong's transfer in one go, and directly prepared 200 million euros, and he still remembered that a few months ago, when he talked to Ashley, the other party directly asked for 200 million euros.

"If you want to take Zhen Shaolong away, pay liquidated damages!" Ashley put it bluntly.

Calderón was angry at the time.

Penalty?

Are you kidding!

200 million euros is not a joke, bundling several core stars of Real Madrid together, which is almost the same price, such a high price to buy a striker?

Sick......

Now Calderon doesn't think so, because Zhen Shaolong continues to perform like crazy, according to Zhen Shaolong's data, his efficiency alone is comparable to Real Madrid's entire midfield, and the goal efficiency in the Champions League has surpassed.

It's insane!

Calderon worked hard, persuaded most of the directors and many celebrities, and even talked to his direct opponent, former club president Florentino, and finally approved the plan of '200 million euros acquisition', but the reply was, "If you want to take Zhen Shaolong away, pay liquidated damages!" ”

Oh yes!

Are you kidding!

Calderón's reaction was the same, and there was almost no difference last time, and he was even more annoyed, because Zhen Shaolong signed a new contract, and the liquidated damages were increased from 200 million euros to 300 million euros.

300 million euros!

Even if he convinces the majority of directors to agree to a €200 million proposal, it does not mean that he will agree to a €300 million proposal.

300 million euros is too much!

And that's not all.

Ashley's direct reply also included a clause, "Even if Real Madrid have to pay liquidated damages, they must take Zhen next summer, otherwise the club will not agree, of course, you can try to convince Zhen ......"

Calderón was helpless.

If he could convince Zhen Shaolong, he wouldn't be arguing with Ashley here.

————

Real Madrid's large-scale purchase of Zhen Shaolong has caused a lot of trouble, not only the overwhelming media reports, but also the Newcastle United club.

Christmas Day.

Many Newcastle fans gathered in front of the club and launched a grand parade, shouting the slogan, "Zhen Shaolong belongs to Newcastle!" ”

"Two billion euros, we also want Zhen Shaolong!"

There were also fans who shouted the slogan "Black-hearted Ashley get out", which made Ashley, who has always felt that he had a good reputation, his face became like black charcoal, and he immediately came forward to the media to clarify, "Real Madrid's purchase is just wishful thinking, and the club has no intention of letting Zhen Shaolong leave!" ”

"It's simply impossible!"

"We just signed a new contract, and Zhen got the first salary, this is proof!"

Ashley's clarification not only reassured the fans, but also made head coach Kevin Keegan not worried.

The conclusive reports from the outside really made Keegan a little worried, he thought he knew Ashley, the other party was a pure businessman, and any player was valuable in his eyes.

So Zhen Shaolong is not for sale.

Real Madrid spent 200 million euros to buy, he thought Ashley would definitely consider it, but he didn't expect the other party's reply to be so clear, Keegan thought of a possibility, "Are the rumors in the club true?" Zhen and Ashley's youngest daughter...... He became Ashley's son-in-law......"

"Only in this way can we explain ......"

Keegan found an explanation and became very relieved, at least not to worry, the winter transfer lost the pillar star.

The team will be able to concentrate on preparing for the post-Christmas tournament in the future.

After Christmas, the Premier League has a busy schedule, with many important fixtures scheduled for the end of December, and the FA Cup kicking off in early January.

Newcastle United's schedule is relatively lighter, with only two games in a row.

On the 26th, he challenged Wigan Athletic away.

On the 28th, they faced Liverpool at home.

Two games in three days are also very difficult, Keegan's requirement is to play every game well, but the game against Liverpool is definitely a big game, or the second game is going to be played, and it is not easy to keep the energy up.

In the first game against Wigan Athletic, which was slightly weaker, Keegan simply sent a semi-main lineup and let Zhen Shaolong start, hoping that Zhen Shaolong could score goals to help the team determine the victory as soon as possible.

Zhen Shaolong's performance is not bad.

In the nineteenth minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong forcibly jumped past the opponent's defender and pressed the penalty line to complete a strong shot to help Newcastle United take the lead.

In the 31st minute, Zhen Shaolong grabbed a point in front of the goal and rubbed the ball into the net with his calf.

These somewhat lucky goals made Wigan Athletic feel helpless.

Second.

Keegan replaced Zhen Shaolong early, and he will soon face the big battle with Liverpool, Zhen Shaolong is undoubtedly very important.

Wigan Athletic also felt a lot more relaxed.

Wigan Athletic then performed well, they pulled a goal back in the 71st minute to make it 2-1, but Viduka's header in the 80th minute left Wigan Athletic in complete despair.

1 to 3!

Newcastle United claimed their first league win since Christmas.

The next day.

Zhen Shaolong got up early and went to the club to participate in training, because it was about to be a game with Liverpool, and the time became very urgent, and the players all came very early.

Something was wrong with the atmosphere in the morning.

Zhen Shaolong walked into the locker room and found that many teammates were talking about Barton, he walked over and asked, only to know that something big had happened-

Barton got into a fight!

The fight took place in a pub in Manchester against Liverpool star Steven Gerrard.

"What do you say? Again, I may not have heard clearly. Zhen Shaolong doubted his ears.

Milner exclaimed, "Didn't you watch the news? Barton! He was in a pub in Manchester, and Gerrard had a fight, with a few fans watching, but no one stepped forward to help. ”

“……”

It's a bit complicated!

Barton?

And Gerald?

A Newcastle player, and a Liverpool player, actually got into a fight in a pub in Manchester?

There is no greater wonder of life than this.
