"What do you say? Finalized? ”

In the luxurious suite of the Hilton Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey, Yang Yang received the surprising news from his agent Raiola that Barcelona were extremely close to signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Messi nodded in agreement?" Although he had been mentally prepared, Yang Yang was still somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect Barcelona to talk to Cristiano Ronaldo so quickly.

"No one knows what Messi's attitude is, and when he was interviewed by media reporters in Argentina, he refused to make a statement on the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, but he admitted that the arrival of the Portuguese will greatly improve the strength of Barcelona."

"In addition, many Barcelona stars, including Neymar, Puyol and Pique, have expressed their welcome to Cristiano Ronaldo on different occasions, and it seems that Barcelona's attitude towards the Portuguese is still very consistent, and Messi can't change the status quo, he can only accept it."

When Raiola was talking, Yang Yang had already searched for Messi's remarks in an interview with reporters on his iPad, he said: I have my own opinion on the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, but I will not disclose any information to the outside world, these things are not for me to decide, and I will not express any views on transfers and signings.

This is a neutral statement, but at the same time it can also be seen as a concession by Messi.

As a Barcelona star, Messi certainly doesn't want his team to bring in a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo to share his role and influence within the team, and even the addition of the Portuguese superstar will definitely shake Messi's tactical role in the team, such as the right to fire.

A year ago, when Barcelona signed Neymar, Messi's attitude was to welcome, and now he refuses to express his views, which is very subtle, proving that Messi is reluctant, but there is no way but to accept it.

"What do you think of Real Madrid?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

In the past month, he has been traveling, on vacation, from France to Germany to Northern Europe, from Northern Europe to Eastern Europe to Turkey, and then he wants to go to Ukraine and Russia, which is also where he and Su Ye want to go.

During the trip, he did not follow up on the news of the outside world in time, and the news was a little unsmooth.

"You also know that Real Madrid's attitude towards Cristiano Ronaldo has always been ambiguous, especially at the top, with clear positions for support and opposition, and now Mendes offers Barcelona a very high annual salary, which is on par with Messi, which is very stressful for Real Madrid, so Florentino shifted his target and attacked Suarez."

There is a very obvious place after Florentino entered the palace for the second time, but it has not been noticed by the outside world, that is, he attaches great importance to the salary structure of the team, and even this summer, the reason why he did not hesitate to sell Pepe and let Arbeloa transfer free transfer is a very important part of making room for salary increases for Varane, Xavi Martinez and others to renew their contracts.

For a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo, salary represents his status in the team, and he must not easily tolerate his status below Messi, so Barcelona can only offer him the same treatment as Messi.

"Do they really have that much money?" Yang Yang was a little skeptical.

Barcelona's finances are not rich, although after winning the Champions League last season, the fees are expensive, but the team currently has Messi and Neymar, two world-class stars, and is also a big salary.

"God knows?" Raiola shook his head and smiled, "But now Russell has no choice, he used to operate Neymar's transfer, and more and more people have dug up the inside story, Barcelona may even take out more than 100 million funds in order to get Neymar, instead of the rumored more than 50 million, you say Barcelona fans can spare him?" ”

Yang Yang understands that Russell is a little sick and rushes to the hospital, and wants to bring in superstars to appease fans, and at the same time show results to defend his chairmanship.

This is one of the drawbacks of membership-based voting.

Of course, Florentino was also selected by this set.

However, the current Barcelona squad is indeed incredibly luxurious.

The attacking combination of Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Sanchez and Pedro in the front court is still extremely luxurious, although it has sent away Villa, this is definitely the top attacking combination in world football today.

As for how to coordinate the appearance and performance of these stars, it depends on the performance of the new coach Martino.

In terms of midfield, the iron triangle of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets is still the best in the world, plus Fabregas and other powerful stars, although Thiago transferred to Bayern Munich, Barcelona's midfield is still the strongest.

The only weakness is the backline, which is a big weakness of Barcelona, and I believe that after burning money to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo this year, it is basically impossible to buy David Luiz again.

Previously, the media broke the news that Barcelona wanted to poach Paris Saint-Germain's Thiago Silva, but Paris Saint-Germain directly said that if Barcelona poached Thiago Silva, they would poach Messi, which scared Barcelona into not daring to say anything.

This is the wealth of the local tyrants!

……

The reason why Raiola appeared in Istanbul, Turkey, was not specifically to deliver news to Yang Yang, this unprofitable Italian fat man was not so active, he came for his players.

This year's World Youth Championships were held in Turkey, and the core of the French midfield, Paul Pogba, is a player of Raiola, who currently plays for Juventus, and this time he was placed in the same group as Spain, so Raiola came to watch the game.

Yang Yang also wants to watch the World Youth Championships, so he will travel to Turkey, otherwise, he will go directly to Ukraine.

Yesterday, he happened to be in Istanbul to watch Spain's match against France, which Spain won 2-1, with Jesus scoring the crucial goal to help Spain win, and Paul Pogba equalising for France.

There are a number of Real Madrid players in the Spanish youth team in this World Youth Championship, and the French team is also playing well, Jesse and Pogba are the leaders of the two teams, and they are also the most eye-catching players in this World Youth Championship.

"I feel that the two most interesting teams in this World Youth Championship met in the group stage in advance."

Talking about the World Youth Championships, Yang Yang was quite embarrassed by the encounter between Spain and France.

Needless to say, Spain's youth training has been brilliant in recent years, rookies have emerged in an endless stream, and they have been leading the trend and trend of football, making the Spanish youth team's record extremely brilliant, and the overall strength of this session is also very strong.

France is also surprising, and the new generation of players, led by Paul Pogba, is also extraordinary.

Although the French team lost 1-2 to Spain and was forced to relegate to the second place in the group, on the whole, the French team is still quite strong, and there is a great possibility of a counterattack breaking out next.

Of course, Spain is still the big hit.

"Let him continue to practice at Juventus." Raiola squinted and smiled.

In Yang Yang's opinion, Raiola's face was full of two words, "Jian Shang".

Just as Yang Yang chose Raiola before, the Italian agent is best at negotiation and long-term career planning, for example, he has done a good job with Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic and others, and the same is true for Pogba.

During the Manchester United period, Ferguson was very optimistic about Pogba, but was unwilling to give him a chance too early, so Pogba transferred to Juventus, and as a result, the French midfielder directly played the main midfielder in Juventus to help Juventus win the championship.

At the age of 20, being able to play the core of an old giant team like Juventus is a major contributor to Raiola's scheme, and only a year later, Manchester United is expected to regret the original little-known youth player, especially now.

Yang Yang knows very well that with Pogba's current rise and growth rate, it won't be long before Serie A and Juventus are destined to be unable to satisfy him.

It's either the Premier League or La Liga, and if he goes to La Liga, only Real Madrid and Barcelona can satisfy him.

That's why Raiola said let him continue to practice at Juventus.

"Real Madrid's Jesus has also done really well, and you can see that after training with you for a year, this kid has grown a lot." Raiola looked at Yang Yang and said with a smile.

In Real Madrid, everyone calls Jose Yang Yang's little apprentice, and everyone thinks that he is very similar to Yang Yang, because they both play on the left side, and the overall style and characteristics are very similar, especially after Raul handed over Jose to Yang Yang, he has always followed Yang Yang to train and was ordered by Yang Yang.

When he wasn't playing in the first team, he would go to the second team to play in the second team, he was the best player in the second league last season, and he was also the three best newcomers in the official second league.

"This kid can't help but boast, a little better performance will his tail, this is not good, you still need to beat and beat well, young players still have to be down-to-earth, more exercise is the right way." Yang Yang was also happy when he mentioned Hesse.

Hesse scored 22 goals and 12 assists in La Liga last season, and his performance was really eye-catching, but Yang Yang himself knows very well that there are too many unknown factors for young players, as long as they slack off a little, or if they encounter injuries, they may make mistakes at any time, and they dare not be careless in any case.

Besides, the professional league is a vanity fair, all kinds of temptations/temptations are everywhere, and you must be vigilant.

But Raiola can really see it, although Yang Yang is reluctant to admit it, but in fact, he really teaches Hesse as his own apprentice, otherwise, he would not have made a special trip to Turkey to watch him play.
