Chapter 69: Football is all messed up
After learning the news of Neymar's transfer to Grand Paris, Lin Quan was also very surprised.
It was not surprising to him that Neymar would go to Grand Paris, but he was surprised to go so early!
Before he crossed the timeline, Neymar went to Paris in 2017, and now it is only 2015, and the timeline is two or two years in advance.
"It's messed up, it's all messed up!"
Thinking of Pogba, who returned to the team a year ahead of schedule from Manchester United next door, Lin Quan couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
It seems that the butterfly effect brought by himself has begun to have a greater and greater impact.
"Originally, there was an MSN combination, and Barcelona was still very competitive in the Champions League, but now that Neymar has left, it will be very difficult for them to compete for the Champions League again."
Neymar's departure is a huge loss for Barcelona.
Although Barcelona has always wanted to bring Lin Quan back to Camp Nou, in addition to pinning their hopes on Lin Quanquan, they also have Neymar as a backhand.
Originally, after Messi grew old, if Lin Quan did not return, then Neymar would take the position and replace Messi to become the core of Barcelona's team.
However, now, the core of this future has been poached by the Qataris in advance, which is equivalent to disrupting Barcelona's painstaking planning.
Barcelona must consider Messi's successor as soon as possible!
In the original timeline, after Barcelona was caught off guard by Neymar's departure, they panicked and bought Dembele and Coutinho at a high price, wanting to fill the vacancy after Neymar's departure.
However, neither man's performance at Barcelona has lived up to expectations, and the money spent on them has been wasted.
Subsequently, Barcelona, who had eaten a trench and grown wisely, set their sights on the famous star, and they once again paid a high price for Atletico Madrid's core Griezmann.
As a result, Griezmann also had a problem at Barcelona, and his performance was far worse than when he was at Atletico Madrid.
After Neymar left the team, Barcelona's indiscriminate purchase of people without planning completely hollowed out Barcelona's family funds, resulting in Barcelona's high debts, which laid the groundwork for Barcelona to drive away Messi in the future.
I don't know if these things will happen on this plane.
……
Neymar's transfer is by no means just a matter for Barcelona club, and its impact has affected many teams in the top five leagues.
On Real Madrid's side, after learning the news that Neymar really transferred to Paris, Florentino's attitude towards Ronaldo immediately changed.
Originally, when Barcelona's MSN combination was not dismantled, even if Ronaldo stayed in the team on Real Madrid's side, he could only be on an equal footing with Barcelona, and it was difficult to overpower the opponent.
But now it's different, Barcelona's MSN combination is a chicken and a flying egg, if Ronaldo doesn't go, then Real Madrid will definitely be able to suppress Barcelona in the league with the BBC combination!
Thinking of this, Florentino called Mendes again, changing his previous indifferent attitude and becoming extremely enthusiastic.
He told Mendes that the renewal of the contract or even a salary increase can be discussed, and he hopes that Mendes will not take Ronaldo to other teams.
Mendes seems to have anticipated the change in Real Madrid's attitude.
In fact, Paris is one of Ronaldo's potential next homes.
Mendes has been running to the side of Grand Paris a lot during this time, and naturally knows the impact of Neymar joining Grand Paris.
After all, there are not many teams that can afford Ronaldo, and Paris, which is most likely to buy people, has now bought Neymar, and there is definitely no budget to buy Ronaldo.
As a result, Ronaldo has only two remaining clubs: Bayern and Juventus.
Originally, there might have been a Manchester United, but after Manchester United bought Pogba, they ran out of money.
Mendes has been in contact with Bayern and Juventus, and Bayern's attitude towards Ronaldo is relatively flat and seems to have little interest.
With the current strength of Bayern's squad, even if they don't have a supergiant, they are enough to attack the Champions League trophy.
As for dominating the league, this is not a difficult task for Bayern, and there is no need for a supergiant to increase the team's salary burden, or even collapse the team's salary system.
Moreover, Ronaldo's temper is not good, if he comes, Bayern is worried that there will be big problems in their team's dressing room, in that case, the team's combat effectiveness is likely to decline instead of increasing.
Bayern's refusal means that Ronaldo's potential next home is only Juventus.
However, Juventus is frantically chasing Lin Quan at this time, and there is a posture that they will not give up if they don't chase Lin Quan, for Ronaldo, although they are excited, but the priority is behind Lin Quan.
Only if it is confirmed that they can't catch up with Lin Quan, they will consider Ronaldo.
But in this case, there will certainly not be much time left in the transfer period, and there will be very little time left for both parties to handle the transfer matters, in case the transfer period is delayed, and Ronaldo has not been able to leave, it will be very embarrassing for the player and the club.
For example, David De Gea was unable to complete the final formalities before the transfer window closed due to Real Madrid's fax machine.
So he had to stay at Manchester United even though he had already said goodbye to his teammates in advance.
Ronaldo is a supergiant, he must want to save face, Juventus's behavior of eating in the bowl and looking at the pot is obviously disrespectful to the players.
If it had been placed in the past, then Ronaldo would definitely have pulled them into the blacklist, and he would definitely not get used to them.
But now, Ronaldo can't get angry.
After Mendes hit a wall everywhere, Ronaldo realised that times had changed.
In the current football world, it is no longer the time for him and Messi to stage a peerless duo and take turns to reach the top.
After Lin Quan, a rising star, came out, these old guys have gradually been squeezed out of the center of the stage and lost a lot of spotlights.
It is in response to the old saying: I only see the new person laughing, but I don't see the old person crying.
This is true not only for celebrities, but also for players.
Therefore, when he learned that Real Madrid's attitude had changed and he was willing to continue to negotiate with them, Mendes was also relieved.
If Real Madrid's attitude is as cold as before, then they are really a little embarrassed, and even more embarrassed if they can't leave.
As a result, Ronaldo and Mendes also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and the two sides were in harmony, as if the previous unhappiness had never happened.
……
After Lin Quan returned to Manchester, he began to resume training.
Knowing that Lin Quan returned to the team ahead of schedule, Kante, who was on vacation, rushed from France non-stop to meet Lin Quan.
"Brother Lin, I'm ......"
After Kante saw Lin Quan, his face was full of embarrassment, and he looked like he wanted to say something.
"What's wrong? Are you experiencing any difficulties? ”
Lin Quan glanced at Kante, this guy almost wrote my heart on the door of his head.
Kante does have something on his mind, and he is facing a very important moment in his life:
Because of his outstanding performance in the league and Champions League last year, N'Golo Kante, who only joined the team during the winter break, has attracted the attention of the Premier League and even the top five league giants.
When the transfer window began, Chelsea offered €30 million in a bid to sign him and bring him back to Stamford Bridge.
Although Mourinho is gone, the iron-clad defensive spirit in the Blues' bones is still there.
N'Golo Kante is exactly what the Blues need.
Abu is not bad for money, and he has always been very generous in the face of such talents.
Compared with the contract offered by Manchester City, Abu waved his hand and offered Kante a big contract with a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds.
N'Golo Kante is just a newcomer, having played less than half a season in the Premier League.
An annual salary of 7.5 million euros is definitely a very high salary for such a player.
So when Chelsea's contract was in front of him, the destitute Kante suddenly became overwhelmed.
7.5 million euros, that's more than he's seen since he was a kid combined!
He would love to sign this contract and get this big contract.
Chelsea's contract is five years, which means that Kante can get at least €37.5 million from Chelsea as long as he signs this contract!
Such a large sum of money is enough for him to spend for the next life.
"N'Golo Kante, how much do you think you're worth?"
Lin Quan couldn't help but laugh when he learned about Kante's problem.
Kante, this kid, this is a lack of correct understanding of himself!
The annual salary of 7.5 million euros does seem like a lot, but Lin Quan knows that when he traveled back in time and space, when Chelsea bought Kante, he was offered an annual salary of 15 million pounds and a weekly salary of 290,000 pounds, which is higher than Hazard.
Chelsea are now only throwing out £120,000 a week, which shows that they don't have enough awareness of N'Golo Kante's value.
If Kante easily joins Chelsea at this time, he will lose at least forty or fifty million euros!
"Captain, I, am I really worth so much money?"
Kante was stunned by Lin Quan's pie, with a weekly salary of 290,000 pounds? £15 million a year?
Myself?
Is it really worth that much money?
If he didn't understand Lin Quan's character, he would have doubted whether the other party was joking with him.
"Of course, you have to believe in yourself, sooner or later you will become the best defensive midfielder on the planet!"
Lin Quan patted Kante on the shoulder and encouraged:
"When you're the number one in the world at the back, all the teams in the world are hungry for you to join them, and they're going to swing a lot of money and offer you an unimaginably high salary."
Kante suddenly realized, and said, "Oh, I see, just like you are now, Captain!" ”
Belch......
Lin Quan was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, it seems that Kante is not wrong to understand it this way?
However, the value and salary of frontcourt players at the same level are higher than those of backfield players, and even if Kante becomes the world No. 1 in the midfield position, it is difficult to get the same salary as Lin Quan.
After getting the answer from Lin Quan, Kante's mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
Although he still covets the annual salary of 7.5 million, he remembers Lin Quan's words, and his future self will be more valuable.
Lin Quan saw that the other party had figured it out, so he didn't say anything more.
Because when Kante was signed, Kante was just a nobody playing in the bottom team.
So the contract package offered by Manchester City is not high, but since Kante had such a good performance last season, and Chelsea next door have begun to wield hoes to poach people.
As long as the Manchester City club is not a fool, they will definitely renew Kante's contract, increase his salary package, and retain such a malleable talent.
Although N'Golo Kante has spent several years in the lower divisions, he was born in 1991 and is now only 24 years old.
He will be at Manchester City for at least eight more years.
During this period, Manchester City will not have to worry about the position of midfielder.
It's just that Kante was cut off by Manchester City in advance, which made Lin Quan very curious, how to fill the hole of the lack of Kante after the tinker Ranieri arrived at Leicester City?
……
N'Golo Kante is not alone in being poached by Manchester City.
Kroos, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and others have all received offers from other teams.
Among them, except for Yaya Toure who parted peacefully with the team and left as a free agent, Manchester City did not sell the main players in their team.
However, Nastasic, who had previously appeared during Manchester City's injury-ridden camp, was taken away by Schalke 04 for 10 million euros.
Nastasic is 22 years old, and after making a senior appearance, he has even greater ambitions for the future and is no longer willing to continue as a substitute.
Manchester City, in particular, also have a large group of young defenders waiting to be on the bench, and he has very limited time to play as a substitute.
Therefore, he wants to go to a team that can play, and he doesn't want to sit on the bench and waste his life.
Guardiola readily agreed.
Nastasic is okay as a substitute, but his ability is not enough to be the main player.
Since Schalke 04 is willing to buy it, then sell it, so as not to stay in the team and become a hidden danger in the locker room.
Young players can be sold, but the main players, Pep Guardiola, are not willing to sell.
As long as Manchester City can continue their excellent record, they can establish their own Manchester City dynasty.
And from this step, Manchester City is not far behind.
At such a critical moment, Guardiola is unlikely to self-destruct the Great Wall.
It's just that even if he wants to keep people, he can't stop someone from wanting to leave!
There are currently three members of the Manchester City squad who have expressed their intention of leaving, one is Keylor Navas, one is James Milner and the other is Fernandinho.
Keylor Navas has aged and played less and less for the team, making just 27 appearances for the team last year, including 11 starts.
Although Manchester City's treatment is good, they can also follow their teammates to win awards here.
But he is hungry for more opportunities to play and to be a regular on the pitch.
But this was obviously impossible, so Navas approached Lin Quan and expressed his thoughts about leaving the team.
Navas is a Spaniard, Lin Quan is the boss of the Spanish gang, and coupled with his relationship with Guardiola, it makes sense for Navas to find him.
After hearing Navas's appeal, Lin Quan sighed.
The idea of the other party leaving is the same as that of Harvey Garcia last year.
Although keeping Keylor Navas will strengthen the team's bench and make it easier for City to deal with multi-fronts.
But since the other party has made up his mind, Lin Quan can't forcibly keep it.
After all, if he continues to stay at Manchester City, he is destined not to get everything he wants.
And Lin Quan knows very well that Guardiola does not pay attention to Navas, and he is afraid that he will play less time next season.
Rather than letting him continue to sit on the cold bench and accumulate more dissatisfaction and contradictions, it is better to let him leave happily.
"If you've thought about it, go ahead and I'll say hello to the coach!"
"Thank you, Captain!"
Keylor Navas is grateful that he is now 30 years old, and if he leaves the team at this time, he can get a big contract for at least three years with his new team.
If it is delayed for another year, I am afraid that I can only get a 1+1 contract.
This is very disadvantageous for himself, after all, who doesn't want to earn more pension before he retires!
