Chapter 80: We Have Lost the Initiative

The reason why the proposal to give Fan Bizhuang a new contract was not rejected because although Florentino is the president of the club, this does not mean that this club is his word, and the opinions of the directors must be taken seriously.

On the other hand, personally, Florentino also wanted to keep Fanbizhuang.

Unlike most of the directors who want to make a lot of money by selling Fan Bizhuang, who has risen in value in the future, Florentino really sees the potential of a future team leader from Fan Bizhuang, he believes that Fan Bizhuang has the ability to gain a foothold in Real Madrid and gradually grow into the core of the team, after all, although Fan Bizhuang is Chinese, but he is also an authentic Spanish native, when Raul's batch of "old men" grow old and retire, the banner of the Bernabeu can be fully supported by Fan Bizhuang.

Of course, C. Ronaldo is also good, but compared with Fan Bizhuang, who has a local hukou, the latter is undoubtedly more suitable.

If you want to choose a player as the banner of Real Madrid, the first choice is of course to be born in Madrid, preferably a good product of the Castilla academy, but under Real Madrid's superstar policy, this plan obviously does not work, Real Madrid does not have so much time and patience to wait for a home-produced player to grow into a superstar and become a leader at the Bernabeu.

Then we had to settle for the next best thing, looking for a Spanish star to mold him into the leader and representative of Real Madrid.

If you can't find it, then consider a star from outside Spain.

The reason why Florentino was willing to bring Van Bizhuang to the Bernabeu with a gambling nature was precisely because of his potential. But then Fan Bizhuang "can't hold up the wall with mud", and he was not much disappointed, because C. Ronaldo, who was in his playing year, was above Fan Bizhuang in terms of fame and influence, and the Portuguese could perfectly take over the position of Raul's standard-bearer.

But now that Van Bizhuang has returned, Florentino is naturally active, and if possible, he is still more inclined to choose a Spanish player to become the future standard-bearer of the Bernabeu.

It was for these two reasons that Florentino acquiesced to the club's offer of a new contract for Van Bizhuang.

However, although he has not had much contact with Fan Bizhuang, he has also seen a lot of talented players, in Villarreal, Fan Bizhuang's reputation is not small, his temper is obedient and eccentric, he has already heard of it, the team has not shy away from expressing his desire to "clean" him, Fan Bizhuang will definitely have grievances about this, so he guesses that Fan Bizhuang is not likely to accept this contract.

The truth was just as he guessed, and sure enough, Fan Bizhuang did not hesitate to reject the new contract.

At the beginning, everyone didn't want to see Fan Bizhuang, they were not optimistic, and they wanted to sweep him out of the house and go out quickly, but now they see that others are infinitely beautiful and their worth has skyrocketed, and they want to lead him by the nose.

Therefore, the question now is not whether Real Madrid wants to keep Fan Bizhuang, but whether Fan Bizhuang is willing to stay.

"But these idiots don't seem to really realize the difference, and the initiative is no longer in our hands!"

Florentino's expression was indifferent, with indescribable mockery and disdain in his eyes, and he quietly watched the "clumsy" performance of the directors below.

"What? Van is reluctant to sign a new contract? What is he trying to do? How dare he resist the will of the club? ”

"Who does he think he is? He's just a professional footballer, and if it weren't for Real Madrid, he'd still be a wretched fisherman by the sea! ”

"It was we who gave him a chance to bounce back! Now the club needs him to contribute, and he ...... Damn, what an ungrateful guy! ”

"Did he think that after a few good games, his tail would reach the sky? Damn, we have to teach him a deep lesson, let him understand who is the man of Real Madrid! ”

"Punishment! The most severe punishment must be given to such unruly players! Isn't he reluctant to sign a new contract? Very well, I suggest, let Manuel press him to the bench, no, devolve to the reserves, let him have no ball to play! If he doesn't give in, then he will honestly waste his years in the reserves! Let's see who can't afford it in the end! Hum! ”

The directors were noisy, their voices and opinions were heard, and the whole conference room was noisy, no different from the wet market.

Baldano glanced at the ugly-faced "capitalists" with disgust, and then turned his inquiring gaze to Mr. President, who shook his head at him and motioned for him not to participate in such a senseless waste of saliva.

Half an hour later, as the directors' unwilling anger grew and fantasized about Fan Bizhuang's submissive submission under their "high pressure", Florentino stood up, tapped his hand on the table, and poured a basin of ice water on the heads of the "high-spirited" directors.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I need to remind you of the fact that ...... It is true that we could impose severe sanctions on Fan to force him to sign the new contract, but whether this is unethical and, most importantly, how long can we force him? ”

"A month? Two months? Or a year? Two years? Don't dream, my dearest directors, the season has come to an end, and there are not many league games left, even if Fan is relegated to the reserve team at this time, such an approach will only anger Fan! When summer comes, with his current form and skyrocketing value, I believe he can easily find a team that pays him 40 million euros. By that time......"

Florentino's words weren't finished, but they were enough to silence the conference room completely.

Everyone is aware of the fact that, as Mr. Chairman said, they can indeed put Fan Bizhuang in the cold, but the problem is that the league is coming to an end, European football will enter a period of recuperation, and whether or not to play in the last few games will not have a great personal impact on Fan Bizhuang, and he has shown his value, so there are a lot of clubs willing to pay 40 million in liquidated damages for Fan Bizhuang.

It's really come to that...... Million? What can 40 million do? Although they can also earn 10 million euros in one coming and going, but ...... With Fan Bizhuang's current worth, 10 million euros, what the hell is this?

This is simply a blood loss!

No one wants to accept such an outcome, so their previous clamor can only be reduced to a joke.

Everyone's faces were a little dumbfounded, and some people complained loudly with anger on their faces: "Forty million liquidated damages? Damn, which idiot set it up? Why didn't you set this number higher in the first place? It's a ...... for nothing."

A companion covered the director's mouth, so that his word "idiot" could not be fully spoken.

The current angry scolding and unwillingness have no meaning except for slapping themselves. Because they were still worried that Fan Bizhuang, who was in a sluggish state, would not be able to sell, and now they want to raise prices, but now it seems that all this is shooting themselves in the foot.

There was silence in the room for a few moments before someone spoke again.

"Chairman Perez, what do you think we should do now? How should we deal with the problem of fan? ”

Florentino looked at the director who asked the question funny, before you questioned my decision to recruit and shouted to purge Fan Bizhuang, and now you came to ask me what to do? How shameless are you?

What else should I do? How to deal with it?

The hell knows what to do!

"Let people communicate with Fan, as for the result......"

Ignoring the directors' surprised gazes, Florentino turned and walked out of the room.

"That's not for us to decide. The initiative is no longer on the club's side. ”

"Mr. Conterres."

In the evening, when he returned home, Fan Bizhuang received a call from his agent, Molina.

At the moment, Molina is in Italy, dealing with several other players in his hands. After changing careers to become a professional football agent, Molina has gone from being a novice who doesn't know anything at the beginning, after more than two years of precipitation and accumulation, he has gradually developed a trace of professional agent temperament, and he has also signed some young players with good growth potential, which can be regarded as recruiting a lot of "little brothers" for Fan Bizhuang.

Of course, this time I went to Italy, mainly for the sake of Fan Bizhuang's old friend Lauren, Lauren has been in the lower ranks of Spain for a few years, and now he has also played some fame, and Sassuolo, a team in the Serie B league that is expected to rush to the top league this year, took a fancy to Lauren, so Molina went to the Apennines after communicating with Lauren.

"Good evening, my dear Boss."

Molina opened with a similar way of teasing, with the intimacy between the two people, there is no need to be so polite, so Molina directly pointed to the subject, "In the afternoon, I received a call from Real Madrid, they seem to want to sign a new contract with you, and promise that if I can persuade successfully, they will give me a lot of labor fees." So, I want to ask you, are you willing to let me get this bonus? ”

"It looks like Real Madrid really put a lot of thought into getting me to sign a new contract. But unfortunately, Mr. Conterres, I'm afraid you won't get the money. In fact, they had already approached me, but I refused. ”

Fan Bizhuang gave his own answer and attitude.

"Don't say I'm sorry, Fan, in fact, this was exactly what I expected, and as I thought, you won't accept it."

Molina on the other end of the phone did not have the slightest tone of regret, and the two of them had made unanimous communication and decisions about future development and destination in the early winter, so this refusal was reasonable.

The two of them chatted on the phone about their current situation and then hung up.

But before hanging the line, Molina asked, "Van is almost the end of the season, are you sure you want to do that?" ”

"Of course, I won't break my promise."

"Okay, as you wish, I'll bring your words to Sir Alex. Well, good night and good luck. ”

"And I wish you all the best in your talks in Italy, good night, Mr. Contesares."
