On the morning of 30 July, a car bomb attack occurred at Madrid's Capital International Airport, and the splinter group from the Basque Nationality once again dominated the front pages of newspapers and television news, and everyone was shocked by their action.

The car bomb attack caused panic in Madrid and Spain, as well as the absence of a number of players for Real Madrid's first training camp after Christmas, as almost all domestic and international flights were suspended at Madrid's capital airport.

But Beckham was not affected by the bomb attack at all, and became one of the few foreign players in Valdebebas training base, except for a number of local players, including Raul, who rushed to the training camp, and he took a private jet to return to Spain from Japan, so he was not affected by the bomb attack at the international airport.

Pay more money, there is only one purpose, to catch up with the team's training camp on time丨

Even if his status in the team seems to be declining

There were few people, and manager Fabio Capello spoke to almost every player who arrived on time, with the exception of David Beckham.

Beckham has forgotten how long he hasn't said a word to Capello, and the two even have a lot of thoughts about each other through reporters and media reports, for example, Beckham learned from the newspaper that Capello was very dissatisfied with him, not only because he was at the beginning of the season, but also because he attended Tom Cruise's wedding during his recuperation from injury, but the problem is that he said it at the beginning.

"One day, when I am old, I will definitely be the same as you are now" Captain Raul also used to talk about his views on this matter with embarrassment during a private exchange.

It's not just because Beckham went to his friend's wedding while he was recuperating from his injury, but because he was not in Capello's plan from the beginning, otherwise, why did Capello come to power, and the announced purge list included Beckham and Raul in addition to Ronaldo?

Beckham and Raul have a lot of similarities, for example, they don't like to admit defeat easily, so even if Capello announced from the beginning that they would no longer be in the plan, both of them still worked hard to prove themselves, and Raul did it and did it well, while Beckham lacked opportunities.

The training did not take place because of the lack of numbers, but Capello asked all the players to arrange their own training programs, and then he left with his assistants, while Beckham and Raul and others trained on the training ground by themselves

They are all veterans, and if they don't work harder than the youngsters in training, their form is not guaranteed at all

This is also the reason why even many people think that Raul is old, but he is still the leader of the team, this is not based on seniority, because if you don't have the strength, no matter how much seniority is, but by the prestige that has been established over time, bit by bit.

And even if Beckham was ostracized by Capello, his popularity within the team is already very good, including Raul and others are very close to him, and many people who opposed him joining Real Madrid back then have now turned to accept him, which is also because of Beckham's dedication and diligence in training and games.

Sometimes, people are like that, when one side of you is too shiny, people will always ignore the other side of you

Sweating until he was sweating, and when he felt like he was about the same, Beckham and Raul stopped their morning training sessions and were about to walk out of the training pitch when they saw the club's general manager, Mijatovic, standing outside.

Raul glanced at Beckham with some concern, patted him on the shoulder, and left alone.

Although he is the captain of the team and has a lot of prestige and influence in the team, there is nothing he can do to stop the team from wanting to sell a player, especially when he himself is not sure whether the player will be able to help the team even if he stays.

Sometimes the captain is the bridge between the team and the coaching staff and the management, but if you are too lenient because of this, it's not a good thing, on the contrary, you are the first person who is unlucky, especially in a big team like Real Madrid.

"We hope you and your agent can find a time to get to the Bernabeu today, so we can have a good talk." Mijatovic wears a suit and leather shoes, without any traces of the time when he played football, but looks more like a Spanish elegant gentleman.

Beckham raised his head and glanced at Mijatovic, "If the club continues to insist on uncompromising on image rights, then there is no need for us to talk about anything more, but I still want to stress again, I want to stay at Real Madrid"

"Then why don't you give in?" Mijatovic frowned, this damn Englishman is too tough.

Beckham felt very bored after listening to it, this kind of trick has been pulled out many times in the past six months, and he even felt that Capello was squeezing him, a very important reason was to coerce him to make concessions on the issue of contract renewal, but there were two things he absolutely could not let go.

"I only need you to agree to two conditions, portrait rights and the main position, and I can ⊥ the rest"

For a long time in the past, the media kept hyping and exaggerating, saying that Beckham was asking for a higher salary and so on, and Beckham didn't know if someone deliberately spread the rumors and deliberately put pressure on him, but he only needed these two things from beginning to end.

The main position is to ensure his condition, he hopes to be able to participate in the UR European Championship and the World Cup in South Africa in 10 years, and even the Olympic Games in England in the next year, that is a coveted honor for him, he must stick to that moment, so he wants the main position, but it does not mean that every game is played.

As for image rights, Beckham has sensed in the past some time that someone at the club is running awkwardly.

Since the resignation of Florentino and his team, the new chairman and the new team have come up, and the issue of the club's licensing has become an issue that the outside world does not know, but the players have suffered, especially for a star like David Beckham, whose image rights are very popular.

Sponsors don't know how many times they have complained to Beckham and his agent about the unscrupulous licensing of licenses, and Beckham himself has not received even a penny from it, and what about the income from those authorizations? Where have they gone?

Mijatovic knows Beckham's confidence, because he has only half a year left on his contract, he is the brightest superstar in the current Real Madrid team, Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo and other superstars have left, Beckham has become the only remaining superstar introduced by Florentino.

"We still need to discuss your request with the manager and management, but I can't guarantee it" Mijatovic is very helpless, if it can be resolved, he is not willing to sell Beckham, "but I still hope that you and your agent can come to the Bernabeu to talk, the club's attitude is very clear, except for the main position, everything else is business as usual"

Business as usual means that everything will be re-signed with the same contract from the Florentino period, but Real Madrid will get half of Beckham's portrait rights, which is Beckham's trust in Florentino at the beginning, but it does not mean that he is still willing to do so, because the Beckham brand must not be folded in the hands of these people.

Many people just saw that Beckham was very beautiful after coming to Real Madrid, and some people even felt that his arrival caused Real Madrid to never produce results at the Athletic level, as if he took advantage of it after joining Real Madrid, and Real Madrid suffered a big loss, but in fact?

Beckham thinks it's hard to say whose question is at the competitive level, but at the economic level, it's right that he gets a high salary, but he also makes a lot of money for Real Madrid, but after coming to Real Madrid, some of his personal sponsorships and influence have been affected, the most famous of which is Vodafone's announcement in 05 that he will not renew his contract, which made him lose a lot.

This is not only Vodafone's sponsorship, but also directly led to some other sponsors abandoning Beckham, and in the recent period, the occurrence of arbitrary authorization incidents has made Beckham almost anxious, but all these reporters don't know what to say, and they won't pay attention, and Beckham can say?

There's a lot of detail and interest involved, not just Beckham himself, not just Real Madrid, but many, many things, for example, taxes.

Who hasn't skipped taxes? If someone dares to say that they haven't evaded taxes through some marginal means, who will believe it?

"As I said, I only ask for two things, the main commitment and the image rights," Beckham insisted on.

Mijatovic smiled helplessly, "That's not what you have to talk about?" ”

Beckham also turned his head and looked at the shrewd Real Madrid general manager, he was not stupid, "Didn't you release the news early in the morning to attract potential buyers?" I've also heard that Chelsea are already involved, is that true? ”

Mijatovic saw that since he had said it, he no longer hid it, "Yes, there are three or four Premier League teams who are interested in you now, and Chelsea are at the front, and we have been in contact with them. ”

Beckham shook his head after hearing this, "I can't go to Chelsea"

The Blues are indeed very strong, but the problem is that this team now has a very mature structure, a very stable main line-up, he can't go to a team that can't guarantee that he will play, if he wants to go to such a team, then why should he not stay at Real Madrid?

"I have to warn you, David, that no team is willing to commit you to a regular position right now," Mijatovic is very sure that the Premier League teams who are interested in Beckham are more interested in getting Beckham's name and the impact it brings.

Who would commit a player who is about to be old and hasn't played for a long time?

There may be, for example, a team in the lower reaches of the Premier League, but is David Beckham a team like this? Will he go?

In fact, in the six months that David Beckham and Real Madrid have been in close contact with him because of the contract extension, only one American club has had in-depth contact with him, and some other teams have at best talked in the media, nothing more.

Beckham stood on the concrete road by the training ground as he saw Mijatovic leave, and he didn't know what kind of expression he should make, because he had never thought about this aspect before, and he had never thought for a long time that he would one day end up like this.

Perhaps, as Raul said, this is the cruelty of professional football.

Every professional player has a day when he gets old, and he has a moment when he is abandoned, no matter how brilliant he once was

Perhaps, Zidane is the smartest person, because he chose to leave at the most beautiful time, and left without the slightest attachment and hesitation.

But, that's Zidane, Beckham can never become Zidane

Beckham returned to his home north of Madrid from Valdebebas, passing through Madrid's capital airport on his way, and saw a large number of police officers stationed at every intersection there, apparently guarding against another terrorist attack.

After a short period of congestion, back home, his wife Victoria and agent Simon Fowler were discussing something in the living room, while Beckham entered the door, threw away the car keys, and lay down on the soft sofa tiredly, talking about the conversation he had just had with Mijatovic.

"I'm almost certain that the licensing thing must have something to do with him, and that's how they're using it to coerce you into renewing your contract," Simon Fowler said in a very positive tone, and he has his own sources of information.

Victoria shook her head, "That's impossible, we've worked hard to build all this today, it's impossible to just ruin it in their hands, it's a big deal to leave Real Madrid, I don't believe there will be no club that wants David." ”

Simon Fowler also nodded: "Yes, yes, Chelsea would love to get David, this team is the number one favorite to win the Premier League this season, and is even regarded as the favorite team in the Champions League, which is the fastest rising team in the Premier League in recent years, and they are in London."

When it comes to London, there is an inexplicable irritation for both Beckhams, not only because they are both from London, but because Beckham has always been regarded as the signature figure of the London Olympics, and Victoria has always felt that everything must be done to maintain Beckham's flag as the signature figure of the London Olympics.

"Will they be able to guarantee the main position?" Beckham asked.

Simon Fowler looked at Victoria, who shook his head helplessly, this is Beckham's insistence, he wants to return to the Premier League, and Victoria wants him to go to the United States.

'Chelsea have a huge squad and they can't guarantee a place in the squad, but the salary remains the same and they are willing to hand over all the image rights to us, which was a call from Peter Kenyon himself.

After Beckham heard this, he suddenly asked with a wry smile, "Will I become the second Shevchenko?" ”

Who knows? No one has been able to answer this question

A transfer is a risk, and no one knows what will happen after the transfer, so they can only try to avoid it

"There's another team, and I think you could totally consider it, Tottenham Hotspur from north London."

As soon as Simon Fowler finished speaking, Beckham frowned, "Ye Qiu's team?" ”

"Yes," Simon Fowler nodded, "I've been told that they're in contact with Real Madrid, just like Chelsea, and I'm sure you should know very well that the most urgent thing for Real Madrid right now is to renew your contract, and if you don't want to renew your contract, then they will sell you during the winter break, so they can accept any price now." ”

"This team's record seems to be terrible" Beckham frowned and shook his head.

"Yes, the performance of this team has indeed been up and down this season, and even many media have called it Ye Qiu's Waterloo, but after entering the month, the team's performance has been climbing, and it is currently fifth in the Premier League, only behind the traditional semi-finals, and it is playing attacking football, which is very popular."

"Fifth" Beckham is chewing on this sentence, he also attaches great importance to the team's results, he will definitely not go to a team that is too poor, such as going to a team that may be relegated at any time, which he cannot accept.

"Of course, no one knows if they will fall back because they almost went into the relegation zone a few months ago." Simon Fowler smiled wryly and said, no one can guarantee this grade, can it?

Victoria, who was always listening, interjected and asked, "Are you talking about Eliza Moon's team?" ”

"Yes, Tottenham Hotspur," Simon Fowler nodded.

Victoria smiled after hearing this, "If it's really this team, you can think about it, I'm good friends with Eliza Moon, I can call to find out, or, ask Ye Qiu out to talk about it." ”

"Tottenham Hotspur is a team with great potential, young and powerful, lacking attention in the past, and the media rarely even reported on them, but after Ye Qiu became the leader of this team, you look at the current newspapers, even Spanish newspapers report their games every round, and the whole world pays more and more attention to them."

"And I've heard that they're in talks with the City of London and the Olympic Organising Committee to take ownership of the main stadium after the Olympics, and they're spending 100 million euros to build a new training base in Hertford, which is an ambitious team."

For all this about Tottenham Hotspur, some Beckham knows, and some he doesn't know, so he was a little surprised after listening to it, and he also felt the future of Tottenham Hotspur from Simon Fowler's words.

"But what surprised me the most was how well this team worked," Simon Fowler shook his head with a wry smile.

"Guess who their two biggest sponsors are?"

Beckham and Victoria shook their heads because they had paid little attention to the news.

"Adidas and Vodafone," laughs Simon Fowler.

"Isn't Adidas going to sponsor Chelsea? Also, doesn't Vodafone not sponsor the team? Beckham was a bit of a surprise because he was well aware that sometimes this kind of main sponsor is not only about generating money from sponsorship fees, but also about potential value and influence.

For example, there will be a lot of other sponsors who will also sponsor your team because your main sponsor is big, because for some sponsors, it's an honor and recognition to be with the world's biggest companies like Adidas and Vodafone.

"That's why I said, it's a team with a lot of future," laughs Simon Fowler.

After hearing this, Beckham thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then, Simon, you can contact them." ”

Just as Simon Fowler nodded in agreement, Victoria's cell phone next to Beckham rang, and the caller ID was Eliza Moon
