Chapter 259: Transfer Cooperation

Atletico Madrid's win over Real Madrid is no longer big news. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Mourinho settled at the Bernabeu Stadium and Wansheng coached Atletico Madrid, the two sides continued to fight, Real Madrid was used to failure, and even their supporting media and fans, although they were not satisfied with the team's loss to the city rival, were not surprised by the result, but they were even more dissatisfied with the club and the manager Mourinho.

The media coverage has also put Mourinho in the spotlight, but because of his failure, he has become a 'negative' focus, and many people are speculating about when Mourinho will leave Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid was unanimously praised.

With only five league games remaining, a four-point advantage means they have a good chance of winning the league title.

Atletico Madrid won the league last season, and this season is equivalent to defending the title, which is also quite a huge honor, and what makes Atletico Madrid fans even happier is that the team is still unbeaten in the league so far, and the unbeaten number has risen to 71 times.

That's a terrifying number!

The honor of being unbeaten in 71 rounds of La Liga is even more exciting than the league championship.

In many reports, Wansheng told all the players to keep a calm mind and continue to prepare for the next games, "Winning the championship is the end, and now is just the beginning." Forget about the 71-game unbeaten run, forget about being top of the league, we're going to hold on until the last game, and until then, I don't want to see any slack! ”

Atletico Madrid are preparing for the tournament as a team, but the club still has a lot to do until the end of the season, such as the contract renewal of some players, such as the upcoming transfer work.

The players are the focus.

Two weeks ago, the club had completed the contract renewal of Raul Garcia and J Rodriguez, and the contract renewal of these two players was quite successful, with both of them having a certain degree of salary increase, both signing four-year contracts, and the club successfully retained the core players in the midfield.

Last week, Atletico Madrid also completed the renewal of Diego Costa's contract, which has been extended to 4.3 million euros per year.

Diego Costa has officially entered the ranks of high-paid professional footballers.

The contract renewal work in other positions is not going well, and the focus of attention is still on Falcao and Isco.

At present, among the most valuable players in the Atletico Madrid team are Falcao and Isco.

Isco is still a youngster, just turned 20 years old, and has been in the top level for two seasons, he is still only 'fledgling', but his reputation is already quite large, especially after Christmas, Ozil is injured and cannot play, Isco is reused to start often, showing consistent and excellent form, and his value has also risen significantly.

France Football has assessed Isco's value at 22 million euros.

For a player who has been valued so much by France Football, the annual salary of 1.4 million euros seems a bit low.

If you want to keep Isco, you must renew his contract.

Another player to be focused on is Falcao, Falcao has a four-year contract with Atletico Madrid, and he does not need to re-sign for the time being, but his performance is quite good, reaching the top level in the world, and the biggest impact on him is definitely the renewal of Diego Costa's contract, the two are direct rivals, after Diego Costa's contract is renewed, he will definitely stay at the club next season, so where should he go?

One way for the club to stabilize Falcao is to renew Falcao's contract.

This has also been discussed within the Atletico Madrid club, but there are more than 20 players in the team, and it will not be Falcao's turn to raise the salary for the time being, and then to give Falcao a salary increase will definitely exceed 6 million euros, or even 8 million euros.

Falcao's agent, Mendes, who has come to the club for talks, heard the news of Diego Costa's contract extension and wants to get a new contract for Falcao.

Of course, the result was a happy parting.

In fact, Wansheng is already considering selling Falcao.

Falcao and Diego Costa, can only keep one, otherwise the salary ratio of the team's strikers is too high, which will become a big problem dragging down the team's finances, in comparison, Diego Costa has played steadily and well, and the salary after the contract renewal is not as high as Falcao's now, and he must stay in the club.

Then Falcao had no choice but to leave.

Marca has always 'cared' very Atletico Madrid.

This interest is due to the rise of Atletico Madrid, and they want to influence Atletico Madrid with their reporting, and in the near future, they can help Real Madrid.

Many of Marca's reporters are very keen to collect negative news about Atletico Madrid, and they will buy off the inside line through private money transactions to find out what is happening to Atletico Madrid and the team, so as to make reports and analyses.

It's called 'grapevine'.

Corina Paco's job is to collect 'gossip', and every month he has a certain amount of money to prepare for the news.

From a staff member of Atletico Madrid, Corina Paco heard about the team's contract extension, and then he noticed Falcao.

Atletico Madrid's core hierarchy and Falcao's agent Mendes, including Falcao himself, are well aware of Falcao's situation - because of his high-salary contract, he and Diego Costa are at a disadvantage.

In the summer, Atletico Madrid is likely to choose one of the two, Diego Costa, who has just renewed his contract, stays with Falcao, and Falcao is very likely to leave, of course, Falcao can also choose not to leave, so next season will need to compete with Diego Costa for the same position as now.

In fact, both of them have played a lot of time, and in Atletico Madrid, this kind of team that has the strength to fight for the championship in the third line can still be 'compatible'.

Whether Falcao leaves or not is still up to his own choice.

These are all things that the top management of Atletico Madrid, as well as Falcao himself and his agent and other 'insiders' only knew, and ordinary staff members did not know, they simply knew that Falcao's agent had come to the club, and then the contact between the two sides broke up.

What's going on?

Corina Paco felt she needed to dig deeper.

Since Christmas, that is, the end of the Champions League group stage, Falcao's performance as the second scorer in the Champions League has received a lot of attention, and Atletico Madrid's forward strength is very strong, but if Falcao leaves, it will definitely be a huge blow to Atletico Madrid.

In terms of impact, fans will definitely ask the club why they didn't renew the contract with Falcao who has performed so well; In terms of strength, a single Diego Costa will certainly not be able to guarantee the efficiency of the frontcourt, and in case Costa is injured or other problems arise, Atletico Madrid's forward line will have big problems.

Actually, this is the so-called 'Real Madrid mentality'.

In the eyes of Real Madrid's supporters, a team must be as big as possible, and the best positions in the team, including the substitutes, are the biggest names and the best players to ensure results, and Real Madrid is indeed like this internally, for example, Benzema's performance is very inconsistent, but it doesn't matter, Atletico Madrid has a lot of players who can replace him.

Atletico Madrid is not Real Madrid!

At least in recent years, it is still difficult for Atletico Madrid to compare with Real Madrid in terms of income, so it is natural to consider the salary level of the players in the team to achieve at least no deficit.

Think of Atletico Madrid with 'Real Madrid thinking'...... It's a bit of a lift!

When Corina Paco 'dug deeper' into the inside information, he had no idea that Atletico Madrid had already reached an agreement with Falcao's agent Mendes on the matter of Falcao, and they would join forces to buy Falcao for a good price.

Falcao's problems are well known on both sides.

Under normal circumstances, whether Falcao leaves or not is his own choice, but Atletico Madrid' There is no shortage of 'Falcao is true, in this case, Falcao is better to be able to leave, as Falcao's agent, Mendes definitely wants Falcao to leave, every football agent wants the signed players to continue to transfer, so that they can have a large share of the money, and the players under him transfer at a high price, but also enhance the reputation of an agent, which shows that he has a very accurate vision for players, and in the football agent industry, his status is also rising.

Mendes is not averse to working with Atletico Madrid.

There are four clubs that are interested in Falcao and are very sincere - Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Monaco, among which Real Madrid and Monaco are the most sincere in terms of money.

"Monaco? It's still in Ligue 2, right? ”

Wan Sheng smiled.

After Christmas, the biggest news from French football is Monaco, they have changed their new owner - Rybonovlev, a Russian oligarch like Abramovich, worth nearly 10 billion dollars, the outside world knows that Rybonovlev is rich, but it is not known what he will do after the acquisition of Monaco, it seems that the Russian oligarch's actions are about to begin.

Such a Russian oligarch...... If you should slaughter, you will slaughter!

――――

Soon the media got all kinds of 'gossip', Real Madrid, Manchester United, Monaco and other teams are interested in Falcao, at the same time, Atletico Madrid Club also informed Falcao, "If you choose to stay, the club will accept, but there will be no salary increase, if you choose to leave, the club will not stop you." ”

The news did not surprise Falcao, who had already learned from his agent.

Later, Wansheng also approached Falcao and made it clear, "Whether you want to leave or not, you have to perform well." If you leave, you need to fight for the future, choose to stay, and of course, if you don't do well, someone will replace you. ”

Falcao is no longer a young player and knows the rules of professional football, just as he moved from Porto to Atletico Madrid for greater fame and a higher salary.

The choice is the same now.

Staying at Atletico Madrid, you can only continue the contract and compete with Diego Costa for a position, leaving can get a bigger contract, and possibly a higher reputation, the only thing is, leaving to join other teams, can you still get the title?

Falcao wasn't sure.

But for a South American player, the most important thing to play in Europe is to make money, it is certainly best to have a high-salary contract, they have no loyalty to any European club, and the same is true of Falcao, he is a Colombian player, he has only been in Atletico Madrid for one season, it is strange that he can have any loyalty.

He only thinks about his own interests.

Although Falcao has been hesitating, he has already had a result in his heart.

――――

When Atletico Madrid teamed up with Falcao's agent Mendes to hype up Falcao and hope to sell Falcao for a large price, Atletico Madrid continued to play in the league.

After the match with Real Madrid, many media analyzed that Atletico Madrid would definitely be the league champion, but Wan Sheng told the players not to take it lightly.

A week later, Atletico Madrid played Rayo Vallecano away.

For promoted Rayo Vallecano, Atletico Madrid is their pain, the two teams met in CalderΓ³n in the first half, and Atletico Madrid scored 7 goals in the whole game, giving Rayo Vallecano a taste of the 'La Liga powerhouse'.

The encounter was at the Estadio Vallecas.

Rayo Vallecano is at home and will be hoping to pick up a point under Atletico Madrid.

Under normal circumstances, Rayo Vallecano is not willing to fight hard with the top teams, then it is worth the loss for them, and the consequence of a hard fight is likely to be a loss or a 'loser', but now it has reached a special moment, at the end of the league, every point is concerned about whether it can be relegated, and they are more fighting and determined than the championship team.

Experienced managers know that relegation teams are not easy to deal with.

Wansheng also knows.

Before the game, his request to the players was, "Play seriously!" Don't get hurt easily! And there was no pressure on the team to win.

In the game, Atletico Madrid's overall performance was not bad, Rayo Vallecano's scramble was fierce, they seemed to be completely desperate, but Atletico Madrid has been passing and receiving the ball, and there are no players to fight hard with each other, so that Rayo Vallecano players feel that there is no place to make energy, even if the determination is firm, no matter how high the fighting spirit, they can't always hit an opponent who didn't get the ball, right?

It wasn't a normal game, it was a deliberate foul.

The Rayo Vallecano players felt very depressed, and Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines shouting, directing the players to pass the ball more, not to take risks and dribble alone, not to give the opponent the opportunity to reload and foul, and to minimize the possibility of injury.

It's also a delaying tactic.

It's not about delaying the game, it's about delaying the opponent's fighting spirit.

Rayo Vallecano is very scrappy and fierce, but they can't play like this for the whole game, as if many people think that no team can continue to attack for 90 minutes, and the ferocious scramble consumes more energy and energy than the fast-paced attack.

They are only brave for a while, and it will be better after a while. (To be continued.) )
