Chapter 671: Waves
A big victory at Old Trafford plunged the whole of Catalonia into a sea of joy, and even the whole of Spanish football, filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
After all, Barcelona represents Spanish football!
Spain has been out of the Champions League for six consecutive years since Zinedine Zinedine Zinedine Zidane's kick out of the sky, and this year's Barcelona is likely to bring the St. Bride Cup back to Spain.
But there are joys and sorrows, and when Barcelona fans were still immersed in joy and feeling the glory of the championship in advance, they also heard a very worried news.
Qiao Wanxian has not renewed his contract with FC Barcelona!
Seeing that this season is over in a month, will Joe Cannon really choose to leave after the season is over?
If this is the case, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to all Barcelona fans.
For this reason, countless Spanish reporters have been dispatched, constantly interviewing Barcelona executives and players, and carefully inquiring through various channels, but they have never received a definite result.
FC Barcelona seemed to have given a gag order, and everyone was silent on this topic.
Until one day, Spain's largest newspaper "Marca" took the lead in attacking, and published a very sensational news in a posture of fearing that the world would not be chaotic, "Barcelona Club evaded taxes, Joe Cannon was humiliated and decided to leave".
The content involves the transfer operation of some players in the Barcelona team, the financial operation of the club, etc. Chasing after the wind pointed out a lot of possible tax evasion by Barcelona.
Perhaps because Jovan's prestige in Spanish football has been too high recently, Marca did not choose to hack him, but put him in the position of a victim. He said that he was very satisfied with the atmosphere in the Barcelona team, but he was very dissatisfied with the club's financial management, and he was worried that one day he would be involved in a lawsuit, so he had to choose to leave.
After such a piece of news appeared, it immediately set off a lot of noise in the entire Spanish football world, although then a large number of pro-Barcelona media came out to wash the ground for Barcelona, but this kind of thing. It can never be said clearly, and gossip reports that catch the wind and shadows are often more able to arouse everyone's curiosity and attention.
A rivalry between two clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona. It can be said that there is great competition from the on-site to off-site, and even to the financial management.
Perhaps because Real Madrid's results this season were too poor to meet the demands and expectations of fans and members, many conspirators began to use their hands in the shadows. Maintain the image of the new president, CalderΓ³n. Marca newspaper this deadlock breaking move. directly put FC Barcelona in a dilemma.
Qiao Wanxian really didn't expect that this was originally a matter of his contract renewal, why did he suddenly turn to tax evasion? He didn't dare to guarantee that Barcelona would not evade taxes, but at least he knew that he did not choose to renew his contract because of scruples.
Qiao Wanxian understands that he must stand up!
It's a small thing to disgrace FC Barcelona, it's a big thing to ruin my bright and majestic image! I don't know. I thought I was cowardly and scared.
Soon, Qiao Wanxian took the initiative to contact Spain's Corbe TV. Intended to make a final explanation.
"Actually, I have been hesitating for a long time on this issue, and to make such a decision, I have balanced all considerations, but it is by no means as reported by Marca. Yes, I didn't choose to renew my contract with the team, but I must say that it has nothing to do with tax evasion! β
"The reason why we haven't made such a decision public for a long time is to keep the team in a calm and quiet atmosphere. You know, Barcelona have been playing really well this season, we beat Manchester United in the first leg of the semi-finals and we're going to go to the final and lift the Big Ears Cup. β
'I've discussed the contract with the club and they respect my decision. At the end of the season, I will leave Barcelona. I've had a very good relationship with the players this season, and President Laporta has been very supportive of my work, but I have to say that I have found a new challenge. β
"Yes, I left the team for purely personal reasons. You know, I've had so good results at Chelsea and at Barcelona that I've had so good results, even so impressive, that now I'm so interested in coaching the big clubs and I need a new challenge. β
"Barcelona has a very good football environment, there is a fantasy stadium here, I love it here, but unfortunately I can't do something that I don't have any passion for. After this season, I believe that Barcelona have shaken off the slump of the past few years and are back on track, showing the temperament of a giant, and the next manager can easily take over here. β
When the host asked Qiao Wanxian what kind of challenge he would have next, Qiao Wanxian smiled slightly and said vaguely: "It's still a secret, and when the time comes, everyone will know that it is a very big challenge for me, and I like challenges." β
Qiao Wanxian's appearance immediately helped Barcelona solve their urgent needs, at least in terms of reputation, and saved a lot for the club. As for whether there is a case of tax evasion, it is necessary for the procuratorial organs to investigate and collect evidence, and we cannot listen to one-sided opinions.
When the news broke, almost all the media in Spain focused on Qiao Wanxian.
Really leaving?
That's an exaggeration, right?
In Joe's season at Barcelona, the team's performance was almost perfect, and he was so willing to abandon the foundation he had worked so hard to build?
This heart is too big!
After Qiao Wanxian made his statement, Barcelona's senior management also came forward one after another to further explain and elaborate on Qiao Wanxian's refusal to renew his contract.
Laporta: "We did everything we could to keep him, but unfortunately we failed. He's made a huge contribution to the team, and although it's been less than a year, he's helped the team through it with his incredible personal ability and charisma, and he's one of the best managers in the club's history, and in my opinion, he's one of the best managers in the club's history. β
Cruyff: "When I heard the news, I was very shocked, very sad, what could be more regrettable than the loss of a great manager? But we have to respect his choice, he is young, he has his own pursuits, no matter what, we want to thank him for what he has done for Barcelona. β
Belgilista: "That's right, Mr. Qiao Wanxian is indeed leaving. It was never a question of money, in fact, we had an unprecedentedly big contract for him, but he turned it down. All in all, I wish him the best of luck in his future coaching career and I look forward to continuing to work with him if possible. β
Not only that, but many players are finally able to speak up and express their opinions on this issue.
Captain Puyol said sadly: "This is a very sad topic, the head is the greatest manager I have ever experienced in my life, he brings all the energy and passion to the team, he is the soul of this team. I don't know what the team will look like when he leaves, but I'm sure everyone will remember this Barcelona team. β
The Portuguese Cristiano in full swing. When Ronaldo was asked by reporters about this topic, he sighed and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" We could have broken a lot of records and created a lot of miracles together, but he was leaving, but I will continue to work hard. β
Midfielder Ballack regretted: "I moved to Barcelona on a free transfer last summer, I just listened to the boss's advice, and now I hear that he is leaving, I really don't know what the mood is, to be honest, I miss the feeling of playing under him. β
"Then would you choose to follow Joe Cannon?"
In the face of the reporter's undisguised question, the German captain did not beat around the bush and said bluntly: "If there is a chance, I will!" But I still have a contract with the team and I'm still part of Barcelona. β
Although Qiao Wanxian has always wanted to minimize the impact of his departure, it inevitably caused a lot of waves in the team. (To be continued......)
