"Mr. President" "Good morning, Mr. President"

Ramón Calderón, who has neatly combed silver hair and doesn't know how much oil he has specially applied to his hair, walks into the administrative office at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and is greeted by people along the way, which makes the Madrid's well-known lawyer feel quite complacent.

Once upon a time, this was the treatment that only Spanish celebrities could enjoy, and now he has it

"Mr. President" secretary Christine Berdemus was waiting for him at the door of his office.

"The general manager is waiting for you inside, and you have an interview with Mr. Diego Torres, a reporter from El País, who has arrived, and I have placed him in a separate interview room, you can come at any time, and Pepe's press conference is scheduled for 10 o'clock in the morning, and they asked me to remind you of the time"

"Thank you, Christina" Calderon nodded with a smile, he already knew his itinerary for today, everything had already been discussed, so he was so carefully dressed today, and even the tie deliberately wore a red tie with a light blue shirt, which looked very good.

Pushing open the office door, Calderón saw Mijatovic sitting across from his desk, the two of them were partners, and if it weren't for Mijatovic, Calderón would not have been elected president of Real Madrid.

There are many people in the same situation, who are now working in various departments of Real Madrid, which is also the tradition of the two major membership clubs of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

"Alright, man, what's the good news?" Calderón walked over, went directly to his desk, unbuttoned his suit, and sat down, which was really a bit of a big boss's arrogance, "Did Milan agree to negotiate with us?" ”

His eyes fell on a document on his desk, which reminded him of today's itinerary again.

Mijatovic is a former superstar of Real Madrid, who once brought a European Champions Cup to Real Madrid, and is now the general manager of Real Madrid, which is another tradition of Real Madrid, such as Florentino when he was selected, Baldano, and the Argentine is also the former Real Madrid meritorious coach.

"You know that this is impossible" Mijatovic shook his head helplessly, "They didn't take us seriously at all, they didn't want to talk about it, and Kaka's agent didn't want to have much contact with us, according to me, at least don't count on it this year"

After hearing this, Calderón's face darkened and he shook his head, "You know, now the members, especially some important members, have a lot of opinions about me, and they think that this Real Madrid is the most lacking superstar in history. ”

"I know, but didn't we win a championship?" Mijatovic shook his head.

If you want to poach a superstar, you have to deal with a giant team, but he has no experience at all in this regard, and even his popularity in Europe is relatively poor, which has to start from the fact that he jumped from Valencia to Real Madrid.

Many people wonder why Mendieta, who had already decided to transfer to Real Madrid, suddenly chose to go to Lazio after arriving at the top? As everyone knows, it was because Real Madrid poached Mijatovic in the 90s, which angered Valencia, causing the Bat Legion to refuse to sell the captain to Real Madrid even after being killed.

Of course, in the whole thing and some things that happened later, Mijatovic also played a not very glamorous role, which made him not only have a bad image in the eyes of Valencia fans, but also in the eyes of many professionals in European football, who have a bad impression and personality of him.

That's why AC Milan hardly even talks to them

As for the championship, it is certainly not La Liga, but the Copa del Rey, the only title won by Real Madrid last season and the only trophy since '03.

"You should know better than me that Real Madrid don't want chicken ribs like the Copa del Rey" Calderón is also under pressure right now.

Beckham was sold during the winter break, but Beckham showed his world-class level and strength at Tottenham Hotspur, helping Tottenham Hotspur all the way to the top three in the league, which is the best Premier League ranking in Tottenham Hotspur's history.

Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane, Figo, the former superstars have left one by one, and even Robert Carlos has decided to leave, and now there is only one left in the Real Madrid team who doesn't know whether he is a superstar or not.

"You know, Ramon" Mijatovic also found it difficult to do, "Cristiano Ronaldo never wanted to come to Real Madrid, at least not now, he just wants to use us to get some salary, this is Mendes's calculation, even if we pay 30 million euros for Pepe, we can't change all this"

There are not many ways to build relationships in this world, and often the simplest and most direct is to use money to pave the way.

This is the case for Chelsea, and so is Calderón and others now, so a Pepe cost 30 million euros, and who would have thought that a Portuguese Super League centre-back who is not even famous at all is worth 30 million euros?

'I also tried to talk to Tottenham Hotspur but they refused to make contact about a transfer for Ribery and the Frenchman didn't want to leave Tottenham Hotspur, he has only been doing well for a season now, he wants to stay at Tottenham Hotspur.

As Mijatovic finished speaking, Calderon was obviously disappointed, opened his mouth angrily, but did not scold, sighed, and then looked deeply at Mijatovic, "We must now calm the emotions of the fans and members as soon as possible, they are now starting to accuse me of not keeping my word"

When Calderón took over Real Madrid, he promised to bring in three superstars, one was AC Milan's Kaka, one was Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, and the other was Chelsea's Wayne Rooney, but in the end, it was impossible for these three superstars to come to Real Madrid.

Last season, Tottenham Hotspur performed very well and had a strong attack, especially the French scar-faced Ribery, who was called his successor by Zidane, coupled with his wonderful performance at Tottenham Hotspur, he can also be regarded as a superstar who can go hand in hand with Cristiano Ronaldo, but the problem is that Tottenham Hotspur will not let go.

Since Calderón took over Real Madrid, he has really found that he can only rely on a little money to go to some middle and lower teams to seduce players, and he can't poach top stars like Florentino before, he doesn't have that relationship, and he doesn't have that level, which is what makes him feel the most depressed.

Mijatovic saw his anxious look, and also knew that the outside world is now under great pressure on the management, so he suggested: "I do have an idea, I received the news, two days ago, the Italian newspaper broke the news that Inter Milan was interested in Tottenham Hotspur striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, Tottenham Hotspur gave a warning, and a friend of mine told me that this is a signal that Tottenham Hotspur will not refuse the offer. ”

"What do you mean?" Calderon apparently didn't figure it out.

Mijatovic smiled, "Inter Milan hasn't said anything to the outside world, what warning does Tottenham Hotspur have?" The warning itself was a signal that there was a need to poach Ruud van Nistelrooy, and my friend told me that Ruud van Nistelrooy himself is not refusing to leave the Premier League because he wants to be able to continue the challenge in a new environment. ”

With Ruud van Nistelrooy's impressive goal rate last season, the Premier League is really no challenge for him, and even though he is now 30 years old, he still wants to continue to challenge his career, even in an unfamiliar league to continue to stimulate his career.

Thierry Henry is clearly close to Barcelona and it is not impossible for Ruud van Nistelrooy to leave the Premier League

"There's no doubt that Vanney is a superstar, but he's thirty years old" Calderón hesitated.

Mijatovic shook his head and said: "Batistuta was thirty-one years old when he transferred to Roma, Zidane was twenty-nine years old when he transferred to Real Madrid, Henry is now twenty-nine years old, and Ruud van Nistelrooy was the European Golden Boot last season, he scored thirty-two league goals in the Premier League, which is the highest goal efficiency in the Premier League in the past ten years, even Henry at his peak is not as good as him, what do you think such a player is to worry about?" ”

Perhaps seeing Calderon still a little hesitant, Mijatovic shook his head and said: "If they want a superstar, then give them a superstar, at least that's what I think, and Vanney is the only superstar we can dig up now."

After listening to Mijatovic's words, Calderon thought about it again, nodded and said: "Then, you can do this as soon as possible, I don't want to be pestered by that group of old guys again, it will be a nightmare"

Mijatovic smiled, "For Tottenham Hotspur, only giving money, it's not a big problem, and you also said that Vanney is thirty years old, can it be more expensive than Batistuta" There seems to be no distress about money at all in his tone.

When Batistuta moved from Fiorentina to Roma that year, the transfer fee of more than 34 million euros set a record for a player over the age of 30 in world football, and it has not been broken even now

Calderón really doesn't feel sorry for money, because this money has nothing to do with him at all, it's all Real Madrid's money.

A few minutes later, Real Madrid's two giants parted and went their separate ways, while Calderón went to a separate interview room, and Diego Torres, a well-known journalist for El País, interviewed Calderón this time, mainly around Pepe's transfer and curiosity about Real Madrid's transfer strategy this season.

"I know that there are a lot of Real Madrid fans who think that the team was a failure last season, but we should note that although we didn't win La Liga, we have the Copa del Rey and our basketball department has won the title, so I think it's normal for football to not make a breakthrough in La Liga because the pressure of not having a title in the last few years is really high."

"The sacking of Capello was a decision when the team regrouped, and we had to get the horses back to our most traditional pursuit, which is perfection, and we didn't just want to go for the perfect results, we had to go for the perfect process of the game and give the fans the best football experience."

'So we are always looking for a manager who is more in line with Real Madrid's football philosophy, more flexible and can lead the team to play attacking football and make Real Madrid fans feel happy, so we feel that Schuster would be a good fit.

After listening to this, Diego Torres recorded it very carefully, and then asked, "Can you tell me about Kaka?" Is there any progress? ”

'It's difficult, AC Milan don't want to sell him, we have to respect the friendship with AC Milan, so I would say to the Real Madrid fans, let's forget about Kaka for a while, but I'm sure he'll be on Real Madrid sooner or later'

"What about Cristiano Ronaldo?"

Calderón knows, and this is a topic that all Real Madrid fans are concerned about, "We are talking, but it will take time because everyone knows that it will be a shocking transfer. ”

After a pause, Calderón felt that his answer would not please Real Madrid fans once it was reported, so he added, "We have been working very hard, our competitors are constantly bringing in players, strong strength, and we will not stand still." ”

"The main reason why we were able to perform well in the second half of last season was that we sent Ronaldo away, but it also caused us to be less competitive, especially in the attacking line, so we will bring in the best super killer in the world in this position."

"You're talking about" Diego Torres seemed to guess something.

Calderon nodded, "Yes, we are trying to bring the European Golden Boot award Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid, it's not easy, because there are many teams that want to get Ruud van Nistelrooy, and his value is very high, but we firmly believe that he can bring the most consistent goal efficiency to Real Madrid, so we will do our best to win Ruud van Nistelrooy"

After hearing this, Diego Torres smiled, "It seems that this transfer has been brewing for a long time, it should be almost"

Generally speaking, such an important transfer will not be said so definitely in advance, because it is tantamount to giving the opponent a chance to start the price in vain, because you promise the fans here, you must buy it, and the opponent will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price, of course, it will not be too outrageous.

Calderon didn't think about the transfer fee at all, and he was a little worried about selling Ye Tian right now, so he smiled and didn't say much, because he believed that Ruud van Nistelrooy's news should be able to temporarily ease the pressure exerted by Real Madrid fans.

As for whether Mijatovic will be able to bring in Ruud van Nistelrooy, it will be said at that time

This is also Calderón's consistent strategy, first get over the addiction, and then think about how to do it, if you can't do it, put it off, drag it until everyone is used to it, and then talk slowly.

In the administrative office of the White Hart Lane Stadium, Ye Qiu was in a meeting with Eliza Moon and Robert Milson.

"I hope that the club will try to downplay the repercussions of young players as much as possible, and it's better not to let them get into the news and not attract too much attention." Ye Qiu expressed his opinion to Robert Milson.

After hearing this, the latter thought about it for a while, nodded and agreed, "I'll take care of it"

Not long ago, Tottenham Hotspur reached an agreement with Cardiff FC in the Championship, and the team brought in 16-year-old Welsh Aaron Ramsey from Cardiff for 2 million euros.

Eight years on, the youngster's performance in Cardiff's youth team has been a big improvement, and this season Premier League teams including Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal and other Premier League teams are hoping to get him, with Manchester United and Everton both making offers, Manchester United for one million euros, and Everton for a down payment of 200,000 and then an additional million.

Tottenham Hotspur beat their opponents for two million euros and got the Welsh rookie

Sixteen years old, it is indeed very young, but Aaron Ramsey is a technical midfielder, with great potential in the future, in Ye Qiu's previous life, if it were not for the broken leg incident, I believe his development prospects would be very gratifying, and Ye Qiu also prefers technical players, so he introduced Aaron Ramsey.

At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur recruited young player Raphael Varane from the youth team of Lens FC in Ligue 2 in the form of compensation, and the 14-year-old central defender was also finalized by Ye Qiu himself, which cost Tottenham Hotspur half a million euros.

Tottenham Hotspur scouts also found Paul Pogba in the small town of Tolsy in the west of Paris, and managed to bring Paul Pogba, who was still undergoing poor training in the amateur team, to London.

Tottenham Hotspur have also brought in Christian Eriksen from Denmark's Odense, England homegrown Kyle Walker from Sheffield United and Matija Nastasic from Partizan Belgrade.

In the Hl7 European Championships held in Belgium in May this year, Ye Qiu arranged scouts to focus on investigation, and after the European Championships, Ye Qiu personally arranged scouts to come to the door and poached Eden Hazzard from Lille in the French Lille, the 16-year-old frontcourt attacker, not tall, but very flexible, explosive, and his foot skills are also quite good, which is very good for Ye Qiu's taste for frontcourt attackers, and the most important thing is that he is very young.

As Ye Qiu planned before, Tottenham Hotspur must first reserve some talents for the future of the team, otherwise, the qualification for the next Premier League and European competitions will make Ye Qiu's head like a fight, so he specially introduced these future rookies.

These people will be cared for and nurtured by the club when they come to Tottenham Hotspur, and even Ye Qiu will make Murenstin and Moniz pay attention to their skills, and he has also decided to fight for a special talent clause for Nastasic, who has not been able to obtain a labor certificate this season, and the club is currently preparing for a hearing

As for Marcelo, he has been selected for the Brazilian national team in the UU year, and with the gradual withdrawal of Robert Carlos, the left side of the Brazilian national team is now in short supply, and Marcelo has been selected frequently and is already eligible to apply for a labor certification.

Ye Qiu paid enough attention to the arrival of these young players, and even asked Eliza Moon to help them deal with life and various trivial matters outside the training ground, take care of their lives, and at the same time arrange their studies, find a good school for us, and then let Robert Milson try to prevent the attention of outside reporters and media.

The biggest concern for young players is to be exposed to the outside world in advance, which is not conducive to their growth.

Just as Ye Qiu was talking to the two right-hand men, the secretary outside knocked on the door and came in.

"Sir, our guests are coming"
