"Rist, Ginnes, you remember old friends."

Rondoiro received a call from Rist and Carvajal to go to the appointment, and could only smile wryly when he saw the two men. Rondoiro was fatter than before, but the exhaustion on his face could not be hidden.

Rondoiro, who single-handedly brought Deportivo from bankruptcy crisis to the peak and put Deportivo in crisis again, is really tired now. A Coruña's current debt is already more than 100 million, and a small club in A Coruña simply cannot afford such a debt.

Deportivo currently owes taxes to the government, player salaries, transfer fees owed to some clubs, and many other miscellaneous items. The tax arrears to the government are huge, exceeding 40 million euros.

Rondoiro has been going to the government department non-stop lately, hoping that they will give Deportivo some time. It's a pity that the Spanish economy is in a downturn now, and the Spanish government has no money. Now there are not one or two clubs that owe government taxes, so they don't have any tolerance at all. After a period of time, the Spanish tax department will also strictly investigate tax evasion, how can it give A Coruña this face. Now Deportivo has less than 10 million euros on its books, and it is impossible to get these taxes at all. So he's really worried.

"Augusto, you're not a friend enough to say that. In the past two years, I have been very selfless in giving players to Deportivo La Coruna. ”

Rist would never cross the river and tear down the bridge. Rister entered Spanish football with Deportivo as a springboard. As a result, Deportivo La Coruna has been short of money in recent years, and many clubs have been reluctant to do business with him. Because A Coruña has no money. There is no cash when a player transfers.

If it weren't for Lister's help in recent years, Deportivo would have been relegated long ago. Rist has not made any money with Deportivo in recent years, and has earned a reputation. Non-stop giving Deportivo players low prices so that Deportivo can keep the results.

"Oops, Riester. You should be aware of the current situation in Deportivo and I am ready to resign. ”

Rondoiro shook his head. As he gets older, he becomes more and more inadequate. And there is no future in sight for A Coruña, which now looks like there is only one way out, which is to file for bankruptcy and then wait for trusteeship.

"Resign?"

Deportivo La Coruna, though, has not had good results in recent years. But Deportivo fans still have a lot of trust in Rondoiro. After all, Rondoiro single-handedly created the "Super Laco" of the year. He spent more than twenty years in the presidency of A Coruña.

What's more, it's not just Deportivo La Coruna that is in the doldrums right now. Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been dozens of clubs that have filed for bankruptcy in La Liga. And the number of La Liga clubs that have entered the hosting process has reached ten. Therefore, Deportivo fans do not blame the current problems of Deportivo on Rondoldoro alone.

"Yes."

Rist and Carvajal looked at each other, but they didn't expect to find Rondoiro and say that he was going to resign. But both of them smiled. After all, that's just what Rendoiro said. It wasn't that easy for him to resign.

"Augusto. How can you resign. ”

Carvajal took over. With a smile, he said: "Deportivo is now a difficult time, and you need to lead Deportivo La Coruna to rise again." How can you choose to resign at this time. It's so irresponsible. ”

"Rise?"

Rondoiro smiled bitterly and said, "Gines." We've been friends for years, so why tease us A Coruña. You should know that Spanish football today is not the Spanish football of 20 years ago. ”

Basically, since 2004, there has been no club in Spanish football that can really compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Atletico Madrid was able to win the La Liga title for two consecutive years, or took advantage of the chaos between Real Madrid and Barcelona. When they came to their senses, Atletico were no match for them.

It's really difficult for La Liga clubs right now. The first is the lack of money to attract good players in European football. To add insult to injury, as communication is becoming more and more developed, the choice of South American players is very wide. In the past, South American players mainly chose Spain, Portugal, and Italy, and there were many South American players who chose Spanish football. It's a pity that there are too many options for South American players now, and La Liga clubs don't get South American players as easily as they used to.

There is no money, there are no cheap South American players in the past, and the rise of La Liga clubs? Rondoiro is not optimistic at all. Everyone's eyes are on the two giants of the Western Super League, and what they see is the big spending, but they can't see that the middle and lower clubs of La Liga are struggling.

"There's still a chance."

Rist looked at the frustrated Rondoiro and said softly: "If you think about it, the current La Liga is not an opponent of the Premier League in terms of financial resources at all, but the results of La Liga clubs in the Europa League are outstanding. Especially Seville. They don't have any money, so why do they have good grades? ”

"Seville?"

Rondoiro shook his head again and said, "It's no longer possible for Deportivo to follow the path of Seville. There is simply no way for us to solve the current economic problems. ”

"Augusto, I'm willing to lend you a sum of money to Deportivo to survive the crisis."

For these football clubs, there is nothing to save except for the complete possibility of survival. Like Dortmund and Leeds United in the past, it is really because the player's salary is too high, and the players brought in at a high price have too many debts to save the club, and the crisis of the general club is only a stage. As long as you pass this stage, you can still live.

"Rist, tell me. What the hell is looking for me today. ”

Rondo Iro is a top smart guy. The reason why Deportivo is mixed up to the point where it is now, Rondoiro has a lot of responsibility, but it is mainly because it was too successful at the beginning, which made Rondoiro too inflated, so there was a mistake in judgment. And it's just that the overall environment of Spanish football is too poor, and it's not all about Rendoiro.

Everything is false now, and Rondoiro is becoming more and more realistic. It would have been normal for two top agents, Rist and Carvajal, to find him today. Both of them are now proud, and they are satisfied to be able to take care of Deportivo Rondoiro. There must be something wrong with the two of them coming over in person to invite themselves.

"Augusto, let's cooperate."

Rist and Rondoiro have been friends for more than fifteen years. And now it is Lister who is strong, because Lister is straight to the point: "Augusto, Gines and I are ready to cooperate with Deportivo La Coruna. With the name of Deportivo La Coruna, one of the best academies in Spain has been created. ”

"You're ready to invest in our club's academy."

"Yes and no."

Carvajal explained: "The two of us don't just want to invest in Deportivo La Coruna's Academy, we want to work with Deportivo to create a new Academy. Of course, Deportivo La Coruna, the Academy's players, are preferred and the two of us just want to get a little bit of ownership. ”

The meaning of Rist and Carvajal is simple. Now, as the Spanish economy is getting worse and worse, there are fewer and fewer Spanish clubs that pay attention to youth training. In addition to clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which are not short of money, it is only alternative clubs such as Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao. In some other clubs, the salaries of the second team cannot be paid, and the academy has begun to be somewhat deserted.

Now is the time to buy the bottom and use money to attract more talented players. Rist and Carvajal are willing to help Deportivo La Coruna's form and expand the academy. In order to attract Spanish talent to Deportivo La Coruna's academy.

If it were some other country, Rist could have invested in building an academy on his own. But this is Spain, and if Rist dares to play like that, it will be too showy. For Rist, who is already on the cusp of the broker industry, such a limelight is not a good thing.

After all, this is Spanish football, and it is currently the number one league in Europe. Here again, keep a low profile. The best thing to do is to work with a La Liga club, and Rist and Carvajal have chosen Deportivo La Coruna.

"Why are we A Coruña?"

"We are old friends, Deportivo La Coruna has also been a strong team in La Liga for the past 20 years, and has a certain influence."

Rist explained it very easily to Rondoiro. Even if Rist and Carvajal were looking for a partner to work with, they couldn't find a nobody. Finding clubs that aren't well-known will be of no use to Lister and Carvajal.

A Coruña is actually the best. In the past two decades, Deportivo La Liga is a strong team and has been famous in European football. It's not a small fame, but it's not a small attraction. In addition, both Rist and Carvajal have worked with A Coruña for many years, and Rondoiro has been collaborators for many years. That's why A Coruña was chosen.

"I'd like to see what you have planned."

Rondoiro was a little moved. He understood what Rist and Carvajal meant. But this matter is also only good for Deportivo La Coruna, after all, Deportivo is not famous for its youth training in the first place. If they do work together to do a good job in the academy, Rondoiro knows that Deportivo La Coruna will be able to survive the current crisis and have a chance to rise again in the future.

Deportivo doesn't have much room to bargain with Rist and Carvajal now. As long as the two of them are willing to help A Coruña, then nothing is a problem.

"Augusto, we've been working together for years. What I like the most is a win-win situation, and what I like most is that everyone makes money together. You should know my temper. ”

"Yes."

Rondoiro nodded. Deportivo has been in trouble in recent years, and it is good to be willing to help Deportivo La Coruna. Rist is one of the most helpful old friends to A Coruña. (To be continued......)
