Chapter 4 Departure Training
For the "communication" between Real Madrid and Manchester United, Fan Bizhuang is not clear about the inside story, and the progress of the negotiations, he is not interested in knowing, he has had a private agreement with Manchester United godfather Ferguson before, after the season, Ferguson also spoke to him on the phone again, he made it clear that his commitment will not change, but he will not interfere in other things.
He has only one request, he has a trace of gratitude to Real Madrid, so he is unwilling to stiffen the relationship with Real Madrid, or even turn against him.
This means that I am willing to go to Manchester United, but whether it can be made in the end, whether Real Madrid can let me go, that is your business, if you want to get me, then show your sincerity. At the very least, I have to leave decently, to be worthy of my worth.
Ferguson is also very aware of this, 40 million euros in liquidated damages is not an unbearable figure for a top giant like Manchester United, but if it is really used to take Fan Bizhuang away from the Bernabeu, not to mention that it is likely to "grudge" with Real Madrid, on the other hand, Fan Bizhuang may also leave a big pimple in his heart.
In today's world football, 40 million euros is not a small amount, but it is definitely not much, many times, often some outstanding young players with potential, at every turn 30 million, 40 million, or even higher, not to mention a player of Fan Bizhuang's level - he is no longer the small role with the potential to be favored, he is a real champion-level player, a real top superstar.
Although he has not won more trophies and glory, and there are no commendable personal honors, it is clear that this is not a problem, with Fan Bizhuang's performance and the current hot competitive form, as long as he continues to play like this, will these things be far away?
Therefore, Ferguson can't see Van Bizhuang as an ordinary player - then again, if he were an ordinary player, it would not be worth his pain, and even repeatedly expressed a strong determination to get him.
Therefore, some of the "off-the-board moves" used in football, such as putting pressure on the club, players making emotions, or refusing to train with the team, etc., are absolutely unusable - Fan Bizhuang is already a championship-level superstar, he will not do such a thing to damage his reputation and influence, and obviously, Ferguson and his Manchester United will not, a giant like them, secretly carry out such dirty instructions, once exposed, they can't afford to lose that person.
So it's very simple, then there is only one way left, and that is to negotiate and communicate with Real Madrid in a dignified manner, and complete the deal by normal means.
Fan Bizhuang did not know the inside story and progress of the negotiations, but he guessed that things could not go well, after all, Florentino had already expressed his determination to keep him - of course, he would not worry that he would not be able to leave, after all, there was a liquidated damages in his contract, and if Florentino was a really smart person, he would not be able to completely eliminate the situation, otherwise, it would only be a lose-lose situation.
To the point of necessity, Manchester United can even pay only 40 million euros and take themselves away. Perhaps this is a bit unauthentic, it will damage the "friendly feelings" between the two clubs, and even attract some scolding for Manchester United, but Real Madrid obviously will not end up benefiting, the players are gone, and the money has not been earned, which can be described as the result of chicken and egg fighting.
This is the last thing Fan Bizhuang wants to see, but if things do get to that point, he still won't change his decision - he is a very stubborn person, and what he believes will never change easily. As for whether this will annoy Real Madrid fans, he didn't care about it at that time, anyway, for him, there has never been a lot of doubts and abuse.
Fan Bizhuang didn't care too much about the "communication" between the two clubs, and during the nearly week, his life was very dull, except for walking around the streets with the Spring Festival, it was a routine exercise and fitness.
A week later, he took care of his neighbours for the Spring Festival and then prepared to travel to Sevilla, where he will join up with the national team for the final World Cup training camp in Spain.
The time has entered mid-to-late May, and the start of the World Cup is getting closer and closer. With the end of the five major leagues, the national teams participating in this World Cup have also begun to assemble, and the Spanish national team is no exception.
In fact, almost at the end of the league, the new national team training list has been freshly released, this list is almost the squad of the Spanish national team in this World Cup, and Fan Bizhuang's name is not surprisingly listed.
After missing out on the European Championships two years ago, Van Bizhuang has finally caught up with this World Cup campaign, which will also be the first time in his career that he will stand on the stage of an international competition.
In this regard, Fan Bizhuang is full of expectations.
The national team began to assemble as early as the list was announced, but most of the players who went to report were the first to arrive at their clubs who did not have much pressure on their clubs. And stars such as Van Bizhuang, Ramos, including Puyol and Xavi in Barcelona, because the competition for the league title was born in the last few rounds, so they almost went all out at the club to the last moment, Bosque was also very reasonable, saying that this group of players can go to the national team a week late to report, this week, it should be relaxed and adjusted.
Although living alone in Madrid, Van Bizhuang also did not choose to go to Sevilla's training camp in advance to report, and after discussing with Ramos, Casillas and other Real Madrid teammates (national team teammates), they decided to leave for Sevilla together in a week.
Fan Bizhuang was standing on the street in a tracksuit and carrying a large sports bag waiting for Ramos and others to arrive, when he received a call from his agent, Molina.
"You're about to report to the national team, Van isn't it?"
Molina's calm voice came from the phone, and Fan Bizhuang smiled and replied, "Actually, at the moment I am carrying a sports bag and waiting for Sergio and them...... Yes, we're about to go. ”
"Although this question has been said more than once, I still want to say it again, are you sure you don't want me to go with you?"
"Of course, I'm not a kid and don't need parental care. By the way, Mr. Contrares, you haven't become my parent yet, so ...... You get the idea. Unless you nod your head, ...... Hehe. ”
When Fan Bizhuang said this with a little ridicule, there was a continuous dry cough on the other end of the phone, needless to say, Fan Bizhuang could imagine that Molina at this time, his expression must be very exciting.
In fact, it is no secret that he and Felisa are sure that they are in a relationship, and Molina is also aware of this, and has no objection or consent, although Felisa is now an adult (in Europe, 16 years old is already the standard for adulthood), but as a father, he still does not agree with his daughter from the bottom of his heart to step into the stage of intimate contact with the opposite sex so early, but then again, he also knows Fan Bizhuang's temperament very well, between him and his daughter, after nearly three years of time testing, but still does not change his original intention, He didn't seem to have any reason to object.
As an elder, all he can do is to advise and advise, but in specific matters, Molina can't interfere, his daughter has grown up, she has her own judgment and the right to decide her own future, and he can't interfere more.
Therefore, Molina remained silent on the matter.
But at this time, Fan Bizhuang said this, which almost meant that you are not my parent, don't follow me all day long, and go about your own affairs. Ha, if, if you want to follow me, if you want to be my parent, then, well, Mr. Contrares, please agree to my association with your daughter.
In such a situation, how could Molina not be embarrassed, how could he not hide his depression without a dry cough and wanted to spit on Fan Bizhuang's face?
"Okay, you win, Fan, I don't want to say more about this issue, that's your business, you guys deal with it yourself. I'm still saying that, you're all still young, don't be so early...... Hmm, you get the idea. Molina's voice was slightly helpless, and without waiting for Fan Bizhuang to reply, Molina spoke again, only this time, his voice was slightly low, "Coach Ferguson and I spoke on the phone, although I didn't say anything, but I could feel that it seemed that the negotiations between Manchester United and Real Madrid were not going well. ”
Hearing that it was serious, Fan Bizhuang's expression returned to a serious one, "I'm listening, Mr. Contelares, you go on." ”
"They seem to be in a lot of trouble, Real Madrid are not willing to let go easily, I guess Real Madrid must have put forward some unacceptable conditions, so ......" Molina hesitated, but still said his advice, "we ...... No, it's you, Fan, do you need to put a little pressure on the Real Madrid side? ”
"Stress?" Fan Bizhuang pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head, "Don't want it for the time being." Let them be exhausted first, I believe Sir Alex Ferguson, he's a great coach and he's also a good negotiator, and I think he can solve these problems. As for the so-called pressure, let's talk about it later. You know, Mr. Contrares, I don't want to get into trouble with them unless I have to. ”
"Well, you're my boss, you have the final say, I'm just worried that Real Madrid will keep dragging their feet and not letting the deal go smoothly, which may affect ...... Forget it, it's just a small problem, anyway, we have a contract, so we can't do it......"
Molina didn't finish his sentence, but Fan Bizhuang understood what he meant.
Indeed, his contract is the biggest "killer feature", but if it is not really true, he does not want to touch the sensitive topic of "liquidated damages".
"Then let's do it first, Sergio, they're here."
"Okay, goodbye then, but Fan, I need to ask your opinion again, don't you really need me to accompany you? I don't have to go to Seville or even France, but in South Africa, I feel like I need to go......"
“…… Mr. Contesares, would you like to travel to South Africa under the guise of accompanying me, or would you like to ...... Have you agreed to be my parent? Hey, hey, hey......"
As soon as the words were finished, there was already a busy sound of "doodoo~" on the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that Molina, who was embarrassed and angry, hung up the phone unceremoniously.
"Really...... Is it really good that an employee dares to be so rude to his boss? Shouldn't I consider deducting his wages? ”
Fan Bizhuang muttered to himself, put the phone in his pocket, and in the distance, Ramos was already speeding in a red convertible sports car, and in the back seats, Casillas, Albiol and others, were waving their hands and screaming excitedly.
"Fan Fan Fan! Here we go! ”
"Ha, look, this is Sergio's new car, ha, we're going to Seville in it!"
"Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it imposing? That's right, we're so windy... sao…… Hahaha, we're going to sao all the way.. The bag runs to the stage of the World Cup! ”
The sound of the ground rubbing against the tires sounded in my ears, the red cabriolet had stopped firmly in front of me, and Ramos, who was wearing sunglasses, shook his hand very chic and snapped his fingers along the way.
"Hey, man, get in the car!"
Fan Bizhuang shook his head and smiled bitterly, this group of sao.. Bao guys, are they really going to report on the national team, are they going to a training camp? How do I feel like they're going out for a ride?
Thinking so, Fan Bizhuang happily threw the sports bag into the car, and then jumped into the sports car.
Ramos snapped his fingers again and turned his head to look at Fan Bizhuang with a brilliant face.
"Are you ready, guys? Ha, I'm going to launch! ”
"We're about to go!"
"Boom~"
The roar of the engine suddenly sounded, and the red sports car had turned into a sharp arrow, speeding away into the distance.
"World Cup, here we come!"
"Towards the World Cup, onward!"
“GOGOGOGO…… GO! ”
