Chapter 1197: Depressed Barcelona
PS1: Today's update is sent, I hope you don't care too much about the update time......
PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.
"This money-eyed Brazilian!" After learning that Ronaldinho had rejected his offer and switched to the arms of the Lazios, Laporta wandered around his office for half an hour until the two bigwigs, Rusell and Cruyff, calmed down, "Sandro (Russell), Mr. Cruyff, our plan to bring in Ronaldinho failed, and those damn Lazios signed a contract with him before we did. Now, this Brazilian kid is one of them. ”
"What did you say!" Hearing Laporta's words, Cruyff was not calm for a moment. After all, the decision to bring in Ronaldinho as the core of the team's new generation of attack was made after a long discussion and study. And now, the scheduled team core has become the trophy of other clubs, which is undoubtedly a pretty big blow to Barcelona's team building plan, "Joan (Laporta), can you discuss with Lazio and let them transfer Ronaldo to us?" You don't need to worry about the price, although the club doesn't have much liquidity in its account, we can solve this problem with a bank loan. ”
"You can try, but I don't think Lazio's promise will be very high." Regarding Cruyff's proposal, Laporta felt that there was little hope, "You know, with Abramovich, a super-rich man behind his back, Lazio is not bad at all, so even if we raise the price, I am afraid it will be difficult to reverse the current situation." ”
"In other words, haven't our previous negotiations with Xiao Luo always been smooth? How did it suddenly get to Lazio? Rosell, who has been following Ronaldo's transfer, was surprised by this turn of events and asked Laporta about it.
"I heard that Lazio agreed to offer Ronaldo a signing fee of up to $1.5 million, and that their transfer offer was a full $10 million more than ours, and the combination of these two factors made us lose the battle for Ronaldo." Laporta, who had already learned the details from his subordinates, said depressedly, "As far as I know, Xiao Luo's agent brother Assis played a very key role in this. If it weren't for him talking about Xiao Luo himself, Lazio would not have been able to complete Xiao Luo's transfer in such a short time. ”
"Hehe, a money-eyed agent brother, the player himself is talented but doesn't know how to better plan his career, and he is indifferent to the recruitment of a top club like our Barcelona, this is simply a copy of Anelka." After listening to Laporta's explanation, Rosell sneered and commented, his words full of sarcasm, "It's good that we didn't bring him to Barcelona, otherwise, maybe he would be another Anelka-like strange character." ”
I have to say that Russell's assessment is biased. You know, most Brazilian players grew up in the slums, and Ronaldinho is naturally one of them. The lack of a good education and poor upbringing environment in their youth made these players lack sufficient self-discipline and negligible resistance to money, and Barcelona ignored this point in the introduction of Ronaldinho this time, and only wanted to rely on their giants' signature to recruit Ronaldo, which gave Lazio an opportunity.
'It's useless to say that now, when Ronaldinho is already part of Lazio, we have to make a remedy.' Cruyff waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Russell's cynicism, "Hoan, you send someone to contact Lazio and see if you can buy Ronaldo from them." If not, then you'd better halt Riquelme's loan talks, and maybe we'll have to count on him to lead the team to victory next season. ”
"Huh? Don't you suck it, right? "If you want to say that in the current Barcelona team, Laporta looks down on Riquelme the most, not to mention that his personality is withdrawn and difficult to get along with, and he is also incompatible with the team's existing tactical system, and he has always adhered to his own style of play and refused to make the slightest change. Such a player, no matter how good his skills are, will not be able to gain a foothold in Barcelona, because Barcelona has established a complete tactical system and football thinking since the Cruyff era, even if Zidane and Rui Costa come, they have to play under this framework, not to mention Riquelme, who has not yet proven himself in Europe.
So, in Laporta's view, Riquelme must not stay in Barcelona. Taking advantage of the fact that the halo of genius on his head is still there, it is only right to quickly loan him out to save the club's expenses, and at the same time find a suitable substitute.
"Well, you have a point. However...... "After listening to Laporta's opinion, Cruyff also thinks it makes sense, but when he thinks of the candidate for Ronaldo's stand-in, the Barcelona godfather can't help but have a headache again, "It's not easy to find a player with similar characteristics and abilities to Ronaldinho." ”
"Why don't we try to get involved in Beckham's transfer as well?" At this time, Rosell came up with an idea, saying, "His crosses are unique in the world, and the big picture is quite good, which can greatly enrich the team's tactical changes." Moreover, if Xiaobei can join, it can also hit Real Madrid and enhance the prestige and popularity of our Barcelona. ”
"Come on, with Beckham's footwork, I suspect he doesn't even have a good control system for us. Admittedly, the arrival of David Beckham will allow us to sell a lot of more shirts, but we are not Real Madrid and we cannot afford to lose the team on a competitive level for the sake of commercial gain. Laporta did not hesitate to reject Rosell's proposal, and his claim was echoed by Cruyff – the Dutchman also did not believe that the technically delicate Beckham had the ability to fit into Barca's tactical system.
"Alas......" Speaking of this, Laporta, Rosell and Cruyff couldn't help but sigh at the same time. The result of the painstaking reconstruction plan was disrupted by Lazio, and the result was enough to make them depressed for a long time.
Laporta, though, they obviously don't have the extra time to sigh. Because according to reliable sources, another important figure in their recruitment plan this summer, Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o, who plays for Vicenza FC, is also on Lazio's list of loots at this time!
If even Samuel Eto'o is successfully intercepted by Lazio, then Barcelona's giants will really be smashed in their own hands. Therefore, for Laporta and them, Eto'o's transfer must not be lost!
