Chapter 2 Real Madrid's first signing
Real Madrid, which is crazy to poach people and collect stars, is undoubtedly very frightening, after all, Real Madrid's fame and status are there, and the average player can rarely refuse the olive branch they throw, basically most of the time, as long as Real Madrid announces which player to pursue, it can end with success.
There is no way, Real Madrid has abundant funds and sufficient heritage, and is one of the most successful and top super giants in today's football, especially the glorious highlights created by the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, so that it has cultivated a group of Real Madrid diehards around the world, and many professional players have a "child dream", as long as Real Madrid summons them, this temptation, almost no one can resist.
Even in recent years, due to the strong rise of Barcelona, Real Madrid has been miserably suppressed by the country's sworn enemies in the league, and the Champions League results are terrible, and even have an extremely shameful nickname "Champions League Sixteen", but their influence has not decreased much, and the Bernabeu is still the "holy land" in the minds of many professional players.
Clubs all over the world have a "vigilant heart" of Real Madrid, because Real Madrid, which is in poor condition, is the most terrible, and it is precisely because of poor results that they want to rush to produce results, and how to achieve good results? The answer is simple, buy, buy, buy!
Barcelona's rise is putting us under a lot of pressure? It's okay, I'll buy the superstar back and build a strong super army to fight him!
One doesn't work?
That's two!
Two can't do it?
That's not to say, keep buying!
Three, four...... I buy a lot of superstars and come back, I can always compete with each other, right?
Don't say that mercenaries are always a plate of loose sand, that's just the jealousy of saying that grapes are sour if you can't eat grapes, I go from goalkeeper to striker, the starting 11 people are all superstars, and even the benches off the field are all big names, we are a star team, we can't kill the opponent, and we can scare the opponent to death!
Such a concept seems ridiculous, but clubs and even fans around the world dare not take it as just a joke, Real Madrid really has the courage to do such a thing, especially after Florentino defeated Calderón in this year's Real Madrid election and re-entered the Bernabeu, which made all the team managers feel chills on their backs.
Calderón is a silver-like pewter spearhead, everyone knows this, but Florentino is different, this is an extremely shrewd and at the same time extremely strong leader, he single-handedly created the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, which has shaken the whole world, even now, when thinking of Real Madrid, there are still many teams that feel palpitations.
Because Florentino doesn't tell you anything at all, you can beat Real Madrid in a competitive match, but he can catch a certain superstar player in your team in the blink of an eye and ...... Needless to say, how the first phase of the brilliant Galaxy Battleship was formed, the whole world knows.
Florentino used his shrewd and strong methods to bring superstars to the Bernabeu, and if nothing else, his poaching methods and the final result can make many clubs shudder.
Now that Florentino is back in charge of the White Army, it is natural that many clubs are on pins and needles, and this old guy shouldn't want to do something big, right? It's a ruthless character, but ...... It doesn't matter if you want to do whatever you want, you tear down all the clubs in the world, but don't get it to us.
At a time when many coaches and managers are extremely wary of Florentino, the news media around the world are not idle.
"The wolf is coming!"
"Galeries Lafayette is back!"
"This summer is destined to be the stage for Florentino's performances"
Wait, blah, blah, this kind of news is endless, and everyone is waiting for Florentino's big move that he has been holding back for several years - there is no doubt about this, with Florentino's temperament, he will become the owner of the Bernabeu again, if he does not turn world football upside down, I am afraid he is not Pérez. Florentino too.
Not to mention, Florentino has already expressed his appreciation for a certain player more than once in public.
"Kaka is a phenomenal superstar, he is very fast, his style of play is very elegant, which is very consistent with the temperament of the noble Real Madrid."
'Cristiano is the heart of both Manchester United and the Portuguese national team, he has won the Ballon d'Or before, yes, he thinks he is talented and physical, but IMHO he needs a bigger stage, a bigger team – and that complements his eternal pursuit!'
"I love to win and I like my team to always be on the winning path. Karim. Benzema? Ha, he's scored a lot of goals in Ligue 1 and he's a natural goalscorer. From this, it can be seen that he also likes to win. You ask me if I'm interested in him? Haha, anything is possible. You have to know that nothing is impossible in the magical world of football. ”
"Liverpool are a champions with a long and glorious tradition, having previously performed the greatest miracle in football history in Istanbul as they reached the top of the Champions League...... The reason I say them is because, you know, I'm a guy who advocates for the localization of football, and yes, Alonso and Arbeloa are very good players, they are very good Spaniards......
Such remarks, before the end of the season, Florentino repeatedly said bluntly in interviews or when participating in recorded programs. He doesn't feel embarrassed, and he has nothing to worry about, he is not afraid of what the outside world will say, how to boycott him, he, or Real Madrid, who he wants to buy, he doesn't have to hide his mind at all, on the contrary, what he should worry about is the club where these players are located.
In fact, it's true, these players who were named by him have more or less throbbing in their hearts, hey, that's Real Madrid, they are the best club in the world, they are the best of the century, they seem to be interesting to me, should I refuse or accept it? Or should I be in front of the camera to implicitly express my gratitude for their discerning actions......
And the club where these players are located, is about to scold Florentino as a dog in their hearts, this old guy really doesn't stop at all, just sat back in that position, and is ready to stir up the wind and rain, what's even more annoying is that it's not enough to look at a certain player of his own, he actually looks at the players of other teams almost at the same time, what do you mean? Do you think our players are not as good as others? …… Wait, it seems that the point shouldn't be here!
Hmph, we won't sell our star players, or important players, no matter what you say, no matter what kind of lucrative conditions you offer, we won't be tempted! We're not going to sell our players for money!
I think so, but in fact, the authorities of these clubs also know that if their players can't resist the temptation, then what they say is in vain, and the players want to leave, and they can't stop them if they want to.
This is the strength of Florentino, he is not only perfect in building momentum, but also very good at grasping the psychology of players and clubs, and it is also a good use of the advantages of his own club, and grasp the opponent's feet, he can be invincible.
All in all, before the end of the season, there were many scandals between the stars and Real Madrid.
This is one of the reasons why countless journalists firmly believe that Florentino and Real Madrid will make a shocking thing during the summer transfer period, these stars who have "ambiguities" with Real Madrid, not to say too much, as long as there are one or two, then these transactions are shocking enough, and Real Madrid will once again become the protagonist of this summer.
What makes these reporters and media puzzled and entangled is that they are always speculating about which scandal protagonist Real Madrid will buy? Buy one or two? Or maybe it's three...... I don't think I'll buy them all, right? The players on these scandal lists are the absolute main force of major clubs, not to mention the signature stars, at least they are extremely important members, if Real Madrid buys them, wouldn't it be to dig out the backbone of many teams?
Reporters are both entangled and expectant waiting for the arrival of the "explosive news", and fans all over the world are also waiting with great interest or worry and nervousness, some like Real Madrid, silently praying, Lafayette had better buy all the superstars, and those who don't like Real Madrid are either watching the show, or praying, praying that Real Madrid can't buy any of them, so that they will become the biggest joke of this summer......
It can be said that the season has just ended, and there is still some time before the summer transfer window officially opens, but world football is already in the limelight, and countless fans are ready to watch a blockbuster like Hollywood in the United States.
What no one expected was that shortly after the end of the league, when everyone was still waiting for the transfer window to open, Real Madrid, which had long been labeled as "doing things" in the summer, seemed to be impatient and directly released the latest announcement on its official website, indicating that they were the protagonists of their first summer recruitment.
It's just that when the official announcement was released, everyone was stunned.
Whether it is fans or reporters, there is a feeling of messiness in the wind, because the announcement made on Real Madrid's official website is not the news that a player will definitely join Real Madrid...... Coach.
"Thank you Manuel. Mr. Manuel Pellegrini accepted the invitation from the Bernabeu, he is a very good and professional manager, his contribution and achievements in Villarreal are well known, so there is reason to believe that under the leadership of the Chilean engineer, Real Madrid will go through the most difficult period and return to the top of the glorious mountain again! ”
As soon as such an official announcement came out, countless people felt a feeling of dumbfoundedness. Isn't the "tradition" of Real Madrid always used to poaching people and poaching superstars? Why did you change your temper this time, and you haven't started poaching players, but you have gone to poach a head coach first?
Wait a minute?
Coach?
Everyone was suddenly shocked that the head coach of Real Madrid was ...... Chilean engineer of the yellow submarine!
Pellegrini, who led Villarreal to many miracles and records, is going to Real Madrid? That...... And Villarreal, what to do?
