Chapter 136: Florentino
"The atmosphere here is really ...... It's hot enough! β
In a remote corner of the love song court, an old man in a suit with slightly gray hair let out such an exclamation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his face had a slightly surprised expression, his eyes hidden behind the silver-framed eyes, and from time to time there flashed an imperceptible sparkle of wisdom.
If there was someone I knew, I would have exclaimed, the old man's name was Florentino. Perez, who has many identities, has been a politician and a businessman, but is better known as the president of Real Madrid.
Since defeating Senz in 2000, Florentino has been firmly seated in the presidency of Real Madrid for six years, single-handedly creating the star-studded "Galaxy Battleship", implementing the "Zidane + Pavon" policy, and pushing Real Madrid to the top of the world in one fell swoop.
In the heyday of the Galactic Battleship, Florentino can be said to have contributed a lot. However, with Real Madrid's over-emphasis on commercial development and the frenzied introduction of superstars, the gradual loss of middle and young players in the team, coupled with the ensuing decline in results, finally left the club after six years in charge.
This is a very controversial figure, with some praising him for bringing endless stars to Real Madrid, while others slamming him for not knowing football at all and just trying to make money.
But in any case, Florentino did bring a huge difference to Real Madrid during his tenure, and all the achievements of Real Madrid in these six years are closely related to him.
The sudden arrival of such a heavyweight in Spanish and even European football to a remote love song stadium is thought-provoking enough. Fortunately, the arrival of the former Real Madrid president was not detected, so it did not cause a sensation.
"The atmosphere at Love Song Stadium has always been very lively, and although it's small, the small clubs have the benefits of small clubs, and their love for football is obvious."
Sitting next to Florentino was a middle-aged man in a suit, also in a suit, his name was Jorge. Baldano, also a staff member of Real Madrid, is currently the team's sporting director.
One is the current important staff of the Real Madrid club, and the other is the former president of Real Madrid, these two people appear so abruptly that if they are discovered by outside media reporters, I am afraid it will cause an uproar and imagination.
In fact, the arrival of Florentino and Baldano has no other intentions, as the sports director of the Real Madrid club, Baldano personally came to the scene to watch the team's game, which is reasonable, and the reason why Florentino appeared in the stands together is to accept the invitation of his old friend Valdano to come to the scene to see the performance of the team that was once beautiful under him, you must know that Real Madrid's current situation is not very good, and it has been suppressed by Barcelona in the league in recent years. Even though they regained the league title last season, this season's performance can be described as terrible, and the results have been up and down.
Especially when the new coach Juander. Under the leadership of Ramos, Real Madrid is now only in fourth place in the league, which is an insult to a super giant like Real Madrid!
Such results are said to be dissatisfied with the Meilinger, even Florentino, who has long since left office, will inevitably feel pain in his heart, others say that he is just a businessman, just to make money and attract attention, but if he is not a person who really loves football and loves Real Madrid, how can he always be unswervingly devoted to this team, maybe the way is not the most perfect, but his feelings for Real Madrid can not be faked.
"Roman is an idiot in the truest sense of the word! Weak and incompetent, without achievement! β
In public, Florentino has more than once attacked the current president of Real Madrid, RomΓ‘n. Calderon. For this reason, many reporters are excited and speculate whether Florentino's remarks represent that Galeries Lafayette will be interested in re-running for the presidency of Real Madrid. However, Florentino never responded.
"The ambiance was really nice. But I think the reason why the fans are so excited and enthusiastic is more because of the European Golden Boy trophy that will be displayed on the field. It's good for a small country team to win awards that have a lot of influence in the entire European football world. β
Florentino chuckled and nodded, and Barnoda smiled as well: "It's a bit of fanfare." It's just an award that is not officially recognized, and such a big battle may give people the feeling that they have never seen the world in a hillbilly......"
"Small clubs also have the value of small clubs, existence is reasonable, and they also have their own way of survival."
Florentino waved his hand, there was no contempt between his words, for him with rich life experience, whether it is a big club or a small club, it is an inseparable part of football, no one is more noble than the other, maybe the value is different, maybe the fame is big or small, but they are all part of the football world.
Small teams may not be able to achieve good results, and it is not necessarily impossible to get out of the big stars.
Most of the world's superstars, when they first stepped into the professional league, didn't they also go from small ball clubs to the top step by step?
"That's right."
Baldano smiled again, and then said, "Villarreal also have some good players, Roman, Diego...... These players have all played for big clubs, and now Villarreal has been able to achieve such great results, which can be said to be a great credit. By the way, and Fan, that guy Gonzalez is full of praise for this little Chinese guy who is less than twenty years old! β
"Fan?"
Florentino was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said, "You're talking about the best newcomer in La Liga last season, right?" He's the Golden Boy winner of the year...... I have to say that he is indeed a little guy with potential! Well, maybe it's not just potential. β
Florentino began to think about all the information about the winner of the Golden Boy Award in his head, and it was at this time that the cheers of the audience suddenly rose to a new level.
Someone walked out of the players' tunnel.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Fan Bizhuang trotted out of the players' tunnel, and he was greeted by the boiling cheers and cheers of the audience.
Behind him were Frankie, the editor-in-chief of Torino Sport, and Manuel Pellegrini, the team's manager.
The podium had already been set up by the staff on the court, a simple platform, where Frankie presented the small golden ball representing the "European Golden Boy Award" to Van Bizhuang.
The process was simple and smooth, and to the applause of tens of thousands of fans, Fan Bizhuang walked onto the stage, followed by Frankie, and in the eyes of all the people, loudly announced: "This year's European Golden Boy Award winner isβ"
The fans at the scene helped him shout the following words.
"-Fan!"
Frankie smiled a little awkwardly, then nodded affirmatively: "That's right! It's Fan! Congratulations to him and congratulations to our new European Golden Boy! β
Fan Bizhuang stepped forward and received the small golden ball symbolizing the golden boy from Frankie's hand amid applause and cheers.
Holding the small gold ball, Fan Bizhuang leaned his head to the microphone on the stage.
The scene fell silent, and reporters outside the venue immediately pointed their cameras at him. Everyone was waiting for his acceptance speech.
"I'm very happy to get this award, maybe it's not the highest individual honour for a player, but for me it's definitely very important, it's the first personal honour I've received since I became a professional."
"It's a great start, it will make me determined and dream, and give me the motivation to keep going...... It's a little Golden Ball now, and maybe in the near future, it will be a real Golden Ball trophy? Ha, who knows? β
Fan Bizhuang made a rare joke, and the fans at the scene also opened their mouths to laugh.
Fan Bizhuang continued.
"And then ......"
After a pause, just when everyone thought he would say something more like thanks, Fan Bizhuang's next words were unexpected.
"It's an honour to receive this award, although unfortunately I can't play for the team at the same time."
"But ......"
"I'm very grateful to the leaders of the La Liga Arbitration Committee, ha, thank you for giving me the opportunity to sit on the sidelines and give me the opportunity to rest after a succession of battles."
"I hope that next time, when I win the award, I can still rest on the sidelines like a passerby!"
After saying this, Fan Bizhuang waved the "little golden ball" in his hand and turned around and left directly.
The fans at the scene and the reporters on the sidelines were collectively dumbfounded.
Your sister? That's your thank-you speech?
It's really grateful, but, no matter how you look at it, it's more like a provocation and a slam!
Awesome, my Mr. Golden Boy, on such an occasion, he fired at the La Liga Organizing Committee without any scruples, and thanked them for giving you the opportunity to rest, giving you the opportunity to be a spectator, and ...... Want to give you a break when you win the prize in the future? You said that the next time you want to win the real Golden Globe Award, what the hell is this, do you want Mr. Golden Globe to go to the stage as a spectator? It is estimated that the angry fans will tear up the office building of the organizing committee!
The reporters' expressions were very strange, but they soon came to their senses, and the movements in their hands kept moving, and the sound of pressing the shutter kept ringing - this is big news! Fan Bizhuang is really Fan Bizhuang, this is really going to do something!
The fans at the scene also cheered more enthusiastically after being stunned, and some people even scolded directly at the La Liga Organizing Committee. Fan Bizhuang was wronged and sadly given a red card, everyone knows that the fans are on fire and have nowhere to send it.
"It's a ......"
Barbano was also stunned by Fan Bizhuang's mockery and criticism, and shook his head, a little unsure of what to say.
Florentino smiled faintly and said softly: "What a little guy with personality!" β
