Chapter 619: Competitive Disadvantage

Competing to sign a player with other clubs is all too common in professional sports, especially in football, where the transfer system is already well established. Li Muddy is not good at this kind of work that requires strong negotiation skills to do well, but for those professionals in Real Madrid, it is just one of the countless tasks on a daily basis, and there is no problem in following the regulations.

Generally speaking, similar to the love model of "one woman and many men", the club in the process of "pursuing" the player of its choice, is nothing more than expressing its sincerity to the other party. The first is to be able to give the new signings an important position in the team, if it is a big star, the head coach will personally visit the door to explain how he will set up a new tactical style around the opponent, which is called "attacking the heart".

After that, it is time to "lure the profits", salary, bonuses, signing fees, and additional fees to convince the agent not to interfere with them, and a series of other economic terms are also more lucrative than the player's current contract, and at worst cannot be lower than the standards proposed by other competing teams, so that it is possible to impress the "heart" of the target and combine successfully.

For young players who have not yet experienced the professional game, the first two steps are roughly the same, but the first point has become to draw a big pie for him, that is, to describe how to develop him gradually become an important core task of the team, whether it will be realized in the end is naturally impossible to predict, but it is indeed an indispensable step. Relatively speaking, the economic conditions will not be overtaken by most young players, although there are also those who want to get a high salary immediately, but it turns out that the future achievements of such mercenary people will not be high, so the ability to "flicker" is the most critical factor in striving for talented demons to join the team.

And more importantly, the attitude of his parents will be the decisive point in most cases relative to the player himself, giving many clubs room to play an off-board role. For example, providing additional subsidies, helping the parents of young players find an easy job, persuading them to become their son's agent in order to obtain greater financial benefits, etc., not only exist in the football network of the Celestial Empire, but also in reality, it is also a very common behavior, regardless of whether the characters do not meet the norms or will have an adverse impact on the future development of the players, the most important thing at the moment is obviously to snatch these talents into their own team at all costs.

Real Madrid's wooing of Riverola is also carried out according to this routine. Although Li Mudi did not personally travel to the regional capital city adjacent to Madrid due to the need to command the first team in the second half of the season and his status, the appearance of the club's legend and current head of the youth department, Shenduo, can already show how much attention the Galaxy Battleship attaches to this player.

will use such a high-standard treatment, even though the information sent back by the scouts shows that the youngster does have super potential, but because Riverola has just joined Valladolid's youth team for half a year, there are very few training or game videos leaked, although it can be easily seen from the existing information that he is excellent, but similar talents in the Real Madrid academy although it cannot be said that it is a big catch, but it is certainly not a rare existence. In the end, what made the club make a very sincere decision was the evaluation given by Li Mudi after seeing the video: "This may be the next Kaka, and it is the kind with better physical fitness", which made all Real Madrid executives a little unable to sit still.

Today, no one will question the position of the Real Madrid coach in the field of mining and developing young players, even if this aspect of the work is recognized by everyone as the most uncertain, but over the years Li Mudi's hand-picked young players still play a super high success rate, so that the past such as Lord Fu, the professor is as world-renowned as the use of young players is also dwarfed.

And according to his assistant Harvey Platz, who has worked with him for many years, this Celestial Empire has never given such a high evaluation to a young player before, which is indeed the first time in history. In the eyes of Real Madrid's top management such as Raul and Hierro, even if Riverola finally fails to fully realize all his talent for various reasons, or take a step back, the team's coach's judgment this time has a rare big deviation, the future development of this young player will not be too bad, at least there is a high chance of reaching the level of J Ronaldo, not to mention that there is a great possibility of growing into a second Kaka.

It's not hard to understand why, compared to the other competitors, who at most only dispatched a regional scouting director, the Galaxy Battleship directly let the old man Shenduo, who can be fully responsible for the work of the academy, come out, and it is completely a matter of the different strategies brought about by the determination of several clubs to take down the 16-year-old who has just gained some fame.

It's just that even though Real Madrid has shown almost the greatest sincerity, the process of persuading Riverola to nod and agree to join is still unexpectedly difficult.

In a face-to-face conversation with the Real Madrid legend, who was much more self-reliant than his peers, the young man showed the latter that he had a clear thinking and vision comparable to that of an adult, which won Shen Duo's private high praise and made the seventy-year-old feel that it was indeed time for him to leave the front-line work. Whether it is eloquence or the future development plan of young players, Shendo, who once dared to fight with the football king Maradona on the football field and completed an excellent defensive task, failed to bargain for any bargain in front of this young man whose beard was not fully developed, which made the old man feel a headache.

Riverola's stepfather and his mother, who had been a housewife until her ex-husband died in a traffic accident, did not express any opinion on whether or not to join the academy of a top domestic team, which would seriously disrupt the family's peaceful life.

And this new star, who is very valued by Li Mudi, is also worthy of his ambition to become the first salesman in the country, with his own eloquence in the womb and some negotiation knowledge that has been temporarily contacted in the past few days, without the guidance of agents and family members, many clubs including Real Madrid who want to bring it into the account are no temper at all.

Judging from the meaning he did not clearly put forward but revealed everywhere, the young man seems to attach great importance to economic interests on the surface, but in fact he is still eager to be effectively and reasonably guaranteed for his future development after he has determined that he will take the path of a professional player.

The guarantee here includes both the club's commitment to his place in the team, and the fact that he will not be left in a passive situation when he renews his contract or even moves to another team, and it can be said that he is no worse than the stars who are notorious among the major clubs for their excessive self-interest in terms of self-interest.

When he heard that Riverola had vaguely proposed that the team must guarantee his main position in the echelons at all levels, and promised that he must be promoted to the first team before the age of 20 and that he must be guaranteed no less than 15 games and 400 minutes of playing time in all competitions in his first year, Li Muddy almost thought that this was a strange thing that existed in a storybook, and that a hairy boy who had not dried up dared to ask such an unreliable promise from a giant team like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. It's too far from the perception of normal people, is this kind of character who doesn't know the sky and the earth at all really suitable to become the team's new generation of signboards? The Real Madrid coach couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

However, after hearing about this, Gines immediately felt that his heart, which had long been indifferent to being an agent, was restless again, and immediately set off for Valladolid, hoping to meet this rare genius in the world face-to-face and meet this little guy who dared to speak out in front of several top teams in La Liga.

As a result, when Real Madrid won the first game of the 2026 season, easily defeated the little brother Rayo Vallecano with a score of 4-1, and was about to leave for the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final in the middle of next week when they were about to travel to the Ipurua Municipal Stadium in the Basque Country to start the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, Li Mudi got the news that made him cry and laugh, Riverola signed a contract with the agency run by the Gines family, and officially became the "same disciple" of the Real Madrid coach.

With the support of one of the most powerful agencies in Spain, the plans of several major clubs to sign the rising star who is gradually making a name for himself in the youth league at a low price are naturally nothing more than a dream. Of course, with more professional people involved in the negotiations, all the strange demands that cannot exist in the real world will be gone, and the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages for several big teams.

Just from the position of Real Madrid, regardless of whether Riverola's request becomes reasonable or not, the competition they face is still not reduced in the slightest, because the idea of trying to establish himself in the first team in the shortest possible time will not change in any way, and in this regard, Atletico Madrid is obviously more likely to fulfill his request, even Valencia has to be ranked ahead of Real Madrid, which is full of talent and difficult to give relevant commitments to young players.

No matter how many stars from Castile fail to realize their childhood dream at the Bernabeu - wearing that holy white shirt for this favorite team to play on the green field, everyone can't deny the super status of Real Madrid's academy in world football, even if it can't be like La Masia has contributed many excellent main players and even core members to the Barcelona first team, but many players with the brand of Galaxy Battleship have always been the backbone of La Liga teams. Real Madrid is actually stronger than their mortal enemies.

After Galeries Lafayette changed his thinking around 2017 and brought in a large number of young talents from all over the world, Real Madrid, which once focused on the integration of superstar clouds, gradually began to shift its focus to the policy of cultivating its own lineage. Although this approach once led to a lot of ups and downs in the team's performance, it also greatly deepened the future development potential, so that the team did not fall into the dilemma of talent disconnection like some old clubs because of the rise of other giants that led to the increasingly difficult transfer market recruitment, and relied on its own hematopoietic function to maintain good combat effectiveness all year round.

However, this has also made the competitive pressure of the youth team more fierce than before, and the club has not abandoned the traditional way of bringing in talented people directly from the outside, making it extremely difficult for those young people of Castilla to get a consistent opportunity to play in the first team before their skills are mature. Normally, after one to two years of training in the reserve team, all the young players who are favored by the club will be loaned to other La Liga, La B and even foreign teams to practice, and after two or three years, the strength is recognized and then the model of returning to the parent team has always been the training strategy that Real Madrid insists on, which is also the most common way in the world.

Therefore, the talented Castilla will not be able to rise to the first team and quickly gain a solid position since Raul and Casillas at the end of the last century, and the closest to the previous two legends are the superstar Mbappe, who can be ranked in the top five or even the top three in world football today, and Asensio, the current leader of the Spanish national team.

But the French winger is not 100% Real Madrid, because before landing in Spain, he has made a lot of name in Monaco, even if his player status is a common youth training of the two teams, but strictly speaking, Mbappe is still more regarded as a talented person produced in French football.

As for Asensio, it has nothing to do with Real Madrid's academy, and like most players, he started his career with his hometown team, and when he joined the Galaxy, the current prince of the Bernabeu was already 19 years old and was immediately loaned to Espanyol for a year. After that, he served as a substitute for Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale for two seasons, and only then did he get a chance to stand out, and with his incredible talent at the time, he could not get the main position of Real Madrid in the year of the weak championship, and other young people were even less likely to replicate Raul's miracle.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid and Valencia, whose talent has shown a bit of a withering trend in recent years, are likely to meet Riverola's request and will be eclectic in the starting line-up as soon as everything goes well. The former, in particular, has always had a tradition of reusing their own academy top names, with Torres, Koke, Saul and later Borja Garcés and Javier Montero all examples of straight up from the B team to the first team and quickly finding their place.

With the experience of these predecessors as a reference, Riverola will certainly be inclined to join the Leaflets, who are also eager for him, which is the most unfavorable aspect for Real Madrid, which has attracted the attention of all those involved in the club.

They hope to find a way to fend off other rivals as soon as possible before it's too late, and take down the potential star who could dominate world football in six or seven years' time.
