790 Prologue to the Presidential Crisis
Qin Xiong, who had already gone on vacation, took the time to attend the World Footballer of the Year award ceremony.
The ranking is the same as for the Golden Globe Awards.
However, Kaka has a big advantage over Qin Xiong this time, after all, the selection mechanism determines Kaka's performance in the Champions League, so that more judges will vote directly for the MVP of the Champions League.
Qin Xiong didn't pay attention to it himself, and returned to the holiday after receiving the award.
The Bernabeu looked like it was going on to cool off during the winter break.
Fans were able to have a very happy Christmas and then wonder what Real Madrid could achieve when the second half of the league season begins.
But in the midst of this calm, an "atomic bomb" was detonated in Madrid.
"World Sports Newspaper" published an article titled "Insiders angrily expose the shady corruption of Real Madrid's high-level leaders: the bad things they did are too numerous to mention"!
The report brought a crisis of confidence to Real Madrid president Calderón.
"Pepe, the grassroots defender who once rivaled Rio Ferdinand, Nesta and Thuram, has now begun to prove that he is 'worth the money' on the pitch, but this does not wash away the original sin that Real Madrid may have traded for money when they brought him in at a high price.
A few days ago, Turkish agent Belan Tutumlu bravely stood up and angrily exposed the shady scene, once again confirming people's suspicions about Real Madrid president Calderón and sports manager Mijatovic.
Tutumlu is the agent for Coman and Laudrup. I've heard from insiders that the duo have cashed in on a lot of transfer deals, and many have complained about the surprisingly high kickbacks from officials doing business with Real Madrid. I don't have that much evidence, but I can say with certainty. Real Madrid were shady in the two deals that brought in Pepe and Diarra. ’
The year before. Turkey's Trabzon Sports Club refused to offer Pepe a transfer fee of 2 million euros. Just a month before Real Madrid's intervention, another Turkish club, Galatasaray, also rejected an offer of 6 million euros for Pepe, but Real Madrid increased the price to 30 million euros.
The strange situation of the buyer's price increase has happened to Real Madrid more than once, for example, Higuain was recommended to Getafe less than 3 months before joining Real Madrid, with an offer of 3 million euros, and the then Getafe coach Schuster even refused to read his profile.
And three months later, Real Madrid paid a total transfer fee of 13 million for Higuain.
An agent of the Real Madrid superstar said: 'Calderón says 100 million euros have been spent. But I wonder how much of it went into the pockets of Mijatovic and Calderón themselves. ’
This is the guy named Mijatovic, and even if he gives me 100 million euros as an agent, I won't work with him anymore. Tutumlu said angrily.
He's the most money-loving guy I've ever met, I've known him for a long time, we used to go clubbing together, we went to nightclubs, and he offered me countless women. When he was a Real Madrid player, he begged me to take him to business, and he also wanted to introduce a Serbian player to Atletico Madrid and share the commission with me. But Atletico saw that he was not right-hearted and rejected him about the bad things he had done. I could write 500 books! ’
Calderon is not a good person, and he knows exactly what kind of person Mijatovic is, but he also took advantage of it, so he naturally didn't want to say more. ’
Tutumlu said that after Calderón took office, the signing fees became more and more outrageous, and the club's actual income was much lower than the promotional figures, while the club's administrative costs increased by 300%.
Calderon's younger brother, two daughters and his eldest daughter's boyfriend all pay for Real Madrid, and every time Real Madrid travels, the more than 30 directors and their families have a larger squad than the team, and in the Florentino era, the president's children also accompanied the team to the north and south, but all the travel expenses were paid for by themselves, and they never 'rubbed' from the club. ”
Immediately after the publication of this report, the Real Madrid hierarchy stood on the cusp of public opinion.
It can be said that Calderón is not as "nosy" as Florentino in managing the internal affairs of the team, and even formulates some deformed construction policies.
He delegated power to the people around him, and he received a good reward for his competition.
However, Real Madrid's members and management directors are dissatisfied with him, in addition to the fact that it is difficult to fulfill the promises made in the competition, such as the introduction of Kaka, but even the shadow of Kaka is not visible.
What is done in other respects against Calderón is nothing more than something else, and has nothing to do with purely athletic matters.
Calderón needs to step in to put out the fire, repeatedly insisting on his innocence, but the media won't stop there.
This marked Calderón as a corrupt label and has been accompanied by his downplay at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid members didn't react too violently.
They pay their annual dues, and they see themselves as the owners of Real Madrid, with a sense of ownership, but they do not expect to get monetary benefits from Real Madrid, but only hope that Real Madrid in the arena can meet their standards and requirements for enjoying football.
Just like in Florentino's time, the accounts were very transparent, and Florentino was also magnificent, but the team on the pitch behaved in a mess, how could the members bear it?
Now, that's just turning a blind eye, as long as it doesn't affect the team's record, it can make the members happy to watch the game at the Bernabeu, and what money is not is secondary, and Real Madrid itself is very profitable, and the money doesn't belong to the members.
But at this time, Real Madrid's main midfielder Diarra began to show signs of making trouble.
His agent began to demand high salaries from the Real Madrid hierarchy in the hope of making Diarra the top of the dressing room player income pyramid.
This caused dissatisfaction among the Real Madrid hierarchy against the Malians!
Diarra should know that Makalele, who played a similar role to him back then, also left for the same reason, and the performance of the Malian did not exceed that of his predecessor!
He asked for a raise, to which Mijatovic replied "It's just vexatious!" ”
"Everybody wants a raise, but we can't meet everyone's demands, and if anyone is unhappy with the income, I think he can choose to leave."
Mijatovic's response is tantamount to telling the outside world: Diarra is no longer for sale!
In such a situation, Diarra after careful consideration, combined with the current overall situation of the team, the brilliant achievements that may be achieved, he conceded and quickly changed his words to declare his loyalty to Real Madrid! (To be continued......)
