"Want to prove yourself in a major league?"

In a very simple sentence, Dick said it to Jadel in Spanish, as a Brazilian, Portuguese is basically his mother tongue, and the proximity of Spanish and Portuguese is something that everyone knows, and there is no difficulty in communication. [Full text reading. 】

After hearing this, Jadel barely hesitated, and then nodded: "I want to ...... But Mr. Dick, can Atletico Madrid provide me with such a stage? I remember last season when Atletico seemed to have managed to avoid relegation at the last minute. ”

"That's true, and that's because I didn't exist before." Dick muttered: "You know, before I put out the fire, Atletico had only won eight league games in total, and since I took over, I have won six consecutive league games and then won the Copa del Rey with two wins...... Do you think Atletico will repeat this question next season? ”

Without waiting for Jardel to answer, Dick continued: "Now I'm transforming Atletico...... There will be seven or eight players leaving and there will be so many players brought in at the same time. We've brought in three midfielders before you, and now it's the strikers that need to be added. You will be Atletico's number one striker and will destroy the city for us. You're a top scorer and you're at your best right now. This form should be shown in the mainstream leagues, not in the European leagues outside of the top leagues. Bullying those second-rate defenders...... Go to the top leagues, play against the best players and beat them to prove that you are a top striker! Even if the Brazilian national team doesn't accept you because of your style, you can prove it in the top flight – it's not your fault! ”

Jadel took a deep breath, then clenched his fist, then let go again, and it was clear that Dick's words had taken a considerable impact on him.

It's just that Jadel is not a young player anymore, he is about to turn 27, he made his debut in Vasco da Gama at the age of 19, and came to Europe at the age of 23...... He's not a wanderer, otherwise he wouldn't have spent the best four years in Porto, and those words weren't enough to impress him.

"I want to know where I stand after the transfer, how much I earn and how you're going to use me." "You know, you can't score too many goals as a striker like me without the support of the whole team, I'm not the kind of striker who can dribble the ball and create chances and score goals," Jadel said in a deep voice. ”

As he said this, Jadel smiled self-deprecatingly, he couldn't get a foothold in the Brazilian national team, wasn't that why? The Brazilian national team needs a striker who can create chances with his individual skills and skills, not a pure goalscorer like him, and even Elber has not been able to establish himself in the Brazilian national team because of his more practical style......

'We have three signings in midfield, two of them on the wings, one with speed and breakthrough ability, and one with good running and passing ability. Dick replied seemingly unremarkably: "The heart of our midfield is Velleron, a member of the Spanish national team, a midfield genius with penetrating passes and sudden passes. Hasselbaink is likely to leave and our forward line will be restructured. ”

Jadel's eyes began to light up when he listened to Dick's words - bringing in the wings means that more crosses will be given to him, and with a passing master like Belleron in the midfield, the striker will get more shooting opportunities, and Hasselbaink is leaving, which means that he will be the top striker of Atletico Madrid after he goes!

Prove yourself in the mainstream league, and at the same time the environment will be better, under such a temptation, Galatasaray's seduction is insignificant, not to mention that Spain and Portugal are relatively close, and there will not be much change in life, if you go to Turkey from Portugal, it may not make Jardel very comfortable in terms of life - historically, he played in Turkey for a year and then returned to Portugal, it is inevitable that there are factors that are extremely unsuitable for life in Turkey.

What can Galatasaray give him? Hakan? Suker may leave, he went to be the main center, here Atletico is also Hasselbaink may leave, he went and is also the main center. Galatasaray can play the Champions Cup, Atletico Madrid can play the League Cup, the Turkish league is not a mainstream league, but La Liga is a top league, in terms of treatment, Atletico Madrid will not give worse than Galatasaray, and the head coach of Atletico Madrid personally invited him......

"As long as the club agrees with me to leave, then I won't have a problem." Soon, Jadel made up his mind.

Dick smiled, he was not very worried about this, since Porto was able to sell Jardel, the top scorer, to Galatasaray, in history, it was impossible not to sell it to Atletico Madrid, at least from a personal point of view, Jardel has no resistance to joining Atletico Madrid, unless there is the kind of top giants competing with Atletico Madrid next, but Dick knows in his heart that the kind of giants that can pose a threat to Atletico Madrid this summer already have a favorite object- Otherwise, I wouldn't have watched Galatasaray take Jadel away this summer! You must know that Galatasaray has also introduced a lot of famous players before, but they are basically older, such as Tafarel, Popescu, Haji...... It is indeed quite rare for a player as well-known in Europe as Jardel to play in Turkey.

So after shaking hands with Jardel, Dick left the transfer staff to negotiate with Porto, and he returned to Madrid, waiting for the results to come back.

However, Dick still underestimated Porto's black shop a little - although Porto's reputation is not very big now, but their style has not changed, and when faced with Atletico Madrid's offer of 15 million US dollars, they did not agree, nor did they refuse, but kept dragging their feet, as if to see if there were any other competitors - Galatasaray This competitor is not too qualified, and Porto wants to sell players to more wealthy teams......

This delay dragged on for half a month.

Fast forward to July, and Atletico Madrid have announced the signing of six new players, namely the signing of 19-year-old Spanish winger Vicente from Levante for five million dollars? Rodriguez, who signed Argentine wide player Mauro from Mexico's Blue Cross for eight million dollars? Camoranesi, $15 million from Celta to sign French defender Claude? Claude Makelele, $10 million from PSV Eindhoven to sign Argentine striker Julio? Kros, $5 million from relegated Sevilla FC bought homegrown centre-back Marchena and homegrown right-back Héctor – the six players spent a combined $43 million transfer fee for Atletico Madrid.

At the same time, the news of transfer and departure also continued to appear, the first to leave was Solari, who transferred to Real Madrid for seven million dollars, and Juninho, who returned to Middlesbrough for eight million dollars after bargaining, Leal transferred to Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 for seven million dollars after getting that he was not in Dick's plan, and at the same time left the old defender Serena, who went to Fiorentina in Serie A on a free transfer.

Hasselbaink is also getting his agent to step up negotiations - the arrival of Cruise and Dick's announcement that Fernando Torres will be promoted from the second team to the first team next season has made Hasselbaink feel the crisis, and despite the departure of the two strikers, Dick immediately added two strikers to the team, expressing the obvious intention - you go, we will have other strikers, so don't expect to get better treatment......

To say that Hasselbaink is not short of people to pursue, although he did not have many opportunities to play in the European Championship this time, but last season's repeated goals in Atletico Madrid proved that he is indeed a top goalscorer, such a top scorer who has proven himself in the mainstream league, the Premier League and La Liga, there is no shortage of good next home.

And such a top goalscorer, without enough money, Atletico will definitely not let go - he has three years left on his contract, and no one can take him away without giving a price that satisfies Atletico.

The final receiver was Chelsea from the Premier League, who reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, and Chelsea also wanted to play better in the new season, and their owner Bates was not too stingy in this regard, and the final transfer fee also surprised Atletico Madrid a little - 21 million dollars!

Atletico Madrid only spent 16 million when they introduced Hasselbaink last season, and it rose by 5 million after a season, and it has to be said that Hasselbaink's performance last season was quite top-notch.

This transfer fee is quite timely for Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid's total transfer amount has only been left with only two million US dollars, Solari, Juninho and Leal have cashed out 22 million, plus Hasselbaink's transfer fee, which means that Atletico Madrid's previous expenditure is not a penny!

"Damn, there is such an effect...... Dick couldn't help but be shocked when he counted the transfer fee for this season - he didn't think about saving the team money! In this way, the players before Atletico Madrid are still full of value......

In this way, the transfer of Jadel can also be a little more bloody.

Porto are also a little impatient now, except for Jardel who has already told them that he wants to go to a better league, the current situation that other big clubs seem to be lacking interest in Jardel also makes Porto understand that it seems unrealistic to find someone to raise the price - so after a delay of half a month, they finally started negotiations with Atletico Madrid.

"Thirty-five million!"

The first offer from Porto surprised Atletico - they had never seen such a lion's mouth......

"Fifteen million." Atletico maintained their previous offer.

"Thirty million can't be less." Porto gave back for the second time.

Dick laughed when he saw this offer, Porto is really asking for a sky-high price: "Tell Porto that a goalscorer who has scored 24 goals in a single season in La Liga is only worth 21 million, and although Jardel is excellent, he has not proven himself in the top league, at most 18 million." I don't believe Galatasaray will play more than us, and if we don't want to, we can wait for Jardel's contract to expire in two years' time. ”

Atletico Madrid's tough attitude let Porto know that it was probably impossible to make a big deal, and they spent $3 million when they brought in Jardel, and after some bargaining, Jardel joined Atletico Madrid for $20 million, which is a transfer fee that can rank among the top five in Atletico Madrid's history, and it can be regarded as a veritable big deal......
