"Sandro, congratulations."

Unlike when Laporta triumphed, Rister was very excited when Rosell announced that he would become the president of Barcelona. Therefore, it is also up to congratulate Rosell on becoming the new president of Barcelona.

Russell's advantage this time was very large. In the end, he received more than 66% of the votes and became the new president of Barcelona. Since Rosell left Barca, Rist has been feeling depressed. Although because of Messi, he still plays an important role in Barcelona. But because after so many years, he couldn't interfere in Barcelona's transfer at all, and La Masia's talent Curlist couldn't get any of them, which made Rister feel very angry. Now it's finally time for Rosell to become the president of Barcelona.

"Thank you."

Russell is also in a very good mood right now. Rusell is fond of money, and becoming the president of Barcelona has brought him and his partners many benefits. With the position of president of Barcelona, Russell can double his net worth even if he does not take Barcelona's public funds. Because the various economic benefits generated around the giant club of Barcelona must be more than one billion a year. As long as Russell occupies one of them, he will be able to eat and wear without worrying.

"Sandro, I hope that under your leadership, Barcelona can truly become the number one club in the world."

Although it is nonsense, Rist still praises Russell a few words. Anyway, who doesn't want to listen to good words, Russell will not be an exception.

"It's my dream, too."

Russell came, and his thinking was completely different from that of Laporta. Laporta is actually no different from Florentino, his real idea is superstardom, it is superstar policy. Just like the introduction of Thierry Henry and Ibrahimovic, they all follow the same line of thought. He used Barcelona to increase his political leverage.

But his luck was really good. During the Yumeji period, Russell introduced Ronaldinho, Villa, Deco and others to build Yumeji. The establishment of Yumeji is a real credit to Russell. But when Rosell left, Barcelona's reinforcements were all kinds of funny. In terms of chaos, it is compared with Real Madrid.

But God is still very kind to him. Messy Barça. If it hadn't been for Guardiola, there would never have been a dream three. At that time, when the new Barcelona was being built, Laporta wanted to rebuild Barcelona with Mourinho and superstars. If it weren't for Cruyff's intervention later, Guardiola would not have become the manager of Barcelona at all. Therefore, the appearance of Dream Three is inevitable. But there are also accidents. For Laporta, Dream Three was definitely accidental.

The biggest difference between Rosell and Laporta is that Laporta regards Barcelona as a bargaining chip for himself to enter the political arena, and only cares about whether Barcelona can have superstars and whether it can produce good results. Rusell, on the other hand, treats Barcelona as a business, and he manages the club in the way of managing a business.

Therefore, when Russell took office, he put forward the policy of "running the club frugally". even announced in a high-profile manner that Barcelona is very difficult now, and Barcelona's debt has exceeded more than 400 million, and if it is not saved, it will exceed 500 million next year. It even said that Barcelona already needs a loan to be able to pay salaries. So Russell says his goal is simple. It's about opening up sources and reducing expenditures.

Soon after Russell's election, he put his slogan into practice. On the third day after Rusell's election, Barcelona negotiated a termination of Thierry Henry's contract. In the end, an agreement was reached, and Henry voluntarily waived the remaining year of his contract.

Don't look at it as a one-year contract, but Henry's salary is high. That's nine million euros after tax. Therefore, Henry's salary in Barcelona is more than 12 million euros, and Henry's departure will save Barcelona more than 12 million euros a year. Then he kicked Tshigrinski back to his old club, Shakhtar Donetsk. Introduced for 25 million euros last summer and abandoned for 15 million euros this summer.

Everyone can feel the difference between Russell and Laporta. At this time, another Barcelona superstar player, Arshavin, was also abandoned by Barcelona. The twenty-nine-year-old Arshavin also enjoys a super high annual salary at Barcelona, with 9 million euros after tax. Originally, Arshavin's performance at Barcelona was okay, but Rosell was really unwilling to pay his salary of more than 12 million euros. Therefore, it can only be to let him transfer. This time, Barcelona dumped Arshavin to his former club Zenit.

The Zenit boss is trying to make a big move, which is why he thinks of bringing in Hulk. Compared to Hulk, Arshavin is more famous and more popular in Russia. Now Arshavin is going to transfer, and they are also very positive. In the end, Zenit took Arshavin from Barcelona for 24 million euros.

Don't underestimate the processing of these few payments, which freed up nearly 30 million euros of salary for Barcelona at once. Plus the bonuses they get in hand. It saved Barcelona nearly 40 million euros in one fell swoop. And it's not over yet, Rist knows that Rosell is also dissatisfied with Ibrahimovic and is ready to deal with him. His salary is just as high, and if it is handled, he will be able to free up more salary.

"111 years of tradition is hard to beat the commercial offensive!"

"The embarrassing financial situation has forced Barcelona to change!"

"Cruyff: It's a shame for Barcelona to sell chest ads!"

"30 million euros to stain the red basketball jersey!"

Russell has been in office for less than half a month. First, a few high-paid players were sorted out. Then Barcelona suddenly announced a partnership with the Qatar Foundation to sell Barça's chest ads to the Qatar Foundation. 30 million euros a year, a five-year contract for chest advertising. As soon as the contract was announced, it set off a wave. Because Barcelona has never sold the advertising on the chest of the jersey for more than 100 years.

Originally, Qatar Sports Investment Company wanted Qatar Airways' name to appear in Barcelona's chest advertisement. But Russell has already broken Barcelona's century-old rules and does not dare to go directly to commercial advertising. Compared to Qatar Airways, Qatar Foundation is much better. How to say that the Qatar Foundation is not a for-profit organization, which can reduce some obstacles and member dissatisfaction.

However, this time the contract is the highest in European football. Manchester United, Liverpool, Real Madrid several clubs sold well on their chests, but they were only just over 20 million, and Liverpool's contract with Standard Chartered Bank was only more than 23 million euros. And Barcelona sold it for a high price of 30 million euros this time.

Rusell's approach angered Barça's honorary president, Cruyff. Cruyff wrote a long column in which he satirized Russell. It is Barcelona's history that Rosell has tarnished the red basketball jersey like this. And it is ironic that Russell only knows how to pick people's teeth, and does not open up new business channels, but follows the idea of advertising on the chest like other clubs. And after Russell took office, it was said that Russell could never do better than Laporta. Rosell's results are unlikely to be better than Laporta's.

Cruyff bullish. Wantonly commented on the new president of Barcelona. Russell was even more bullish, and Russell was so irritated by Cruyff's attitude that he immediately held a press conference. In the press conference, Cruyff was a "killer".

Rosell said: "At the moment there is no honorary president in the statutes of Barça, so Cruyff's current appointment is not in accordance with the regulations. No one wants to hang an empty title, so I have to follow the rules of the club. ”

The meaning of this sentence is simple. Rosell said that there is no position in Barcelona's constitution that is an honorary president, and Cruyff's title of so-called honorary president is not recognized by FC Barcelona. In other words, Rosell does not admit that Barcelona has any such thing as an honorary president. You Cruyff can do whatever you want, you are no longer the honorary president of Barcelona, and I have dismissed you.

Russell's point is really too much. It was only in March of this year that Cruyff was appointed honorary president of Barcelona by former president Joan Laporta. At that time, in order to show the solemnity, Laporta also held a special appointment ceremony. Laporta said at the time, as honorary president. Cruyff does not have to perform any duties, and this honor can be seen as a recognition of the Dutchman's great contribution to Barça. Just like Di Stéfano at Real Madrid, it's an honorary title. It recognises the greatest stars in the club's history.

However, less than two days after Russell went up, Cruyff was "honorably laid off". Cruyff was furious when he heard the news, saying that Russell's decision was difficult for him to accept. The Dutchman said: "I don't want to leave like that, in their eyes I am persona non grata at Barça. ”

That's true. In Rosell's Barcelona, Cruyff was not a popular man. In any case, Russell took advantage of Cruyff's affair to establish his authority in Barcelona. Rist watched the farce from the sidelines, and there was some amusement in his heart. Russell is a bit too much.

Keep checking Barsa's accounts. Not sparing the predecessor Laporta at all. Now even Cruyff does not give face at all, and the fictitious title of honorary chairman has been taken back.

In fact, Rist himself did not like Cruyff. Because Cruyff has too much influence on Barcelona, and Guardiola and Cruyff have a close relationship, both of which have seriously hurt Rist's interests in Barcelona. Now Russell has expelled Cruyff, expelled Laporta's forces in disguise, and invisibly suppressed several agents who were close to Guardiola. It doesn't get much better than this for Lister.

"Rist. What about Ibrahimovic? ”

Rosell's biggest headache right now is the matter of Ibrahimovic. Speaking of which, Barcelona fans are not as repulsed by Ibrahimovic as they imagined, on the contrary, many fans want the club to keep Ibrahimovic.

But Russell will never keep Ibrahimovic. Not only is it difficult for him to integrate into the current Barcelona system, but his after-tax salary reaches tens of millions of euros, which is a huge burden for Barcelona. But now the European giants are shrinking one by one, and few giants can bring in Ibrahimovic. There are also few big clubs who can afford Ibrahimovic's salary. So it's too hard to make a move.

"Sandro, it's easy to say."

"Say."

"The Qatari investment fund, which has just signed a big contract with Barcelona, has reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain and is about to take over Paris Saint-Germain. Sell to them, and they have money. ”

"Okay? Can Ibrahimovic agree? ”

Ligue 1 is still not influential enough for Ibrahimovic to agree to a move from Barcelona to Ligue 1? How to say that Ibrahimovic is also a superstar player in today's football. How could you be willing to go to Ligue 1?

"Is there any other way for them? Is he willing to play as a substitute at Barcelona, the arrogant Ibrahimovic will not accept such a shame. And Raiola is a big fan of money, and there must be a lot of money on the Qatari side. The two sides can hit it off. ”

"This matter needs to be contacted by you. I'm going to clean Ibrahimovich anyway. By the way, too many players were sold in the summer. Some additions are also needed. How about Ozil in Bremen? ”

"If you're interested in him, I'll be able to bring it to you."
