When he saw Real Madrid President Florentino coming, to Chu Chao's surprise, Xavi's face was not nervous, but he stood up directly and walked towards the other party politely.

The two shook hands very formally and hugged each other, as if they were friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Perhaps, the football circle is so big, you can't see it when you look down.

Barcelona and Real Madrid though are dead.

But that's for the fans.

For the players themselves, it's just a part-time job.

"Hey, Chu, are you already negotiating a contract with Barcelona? Raubal would be very sad. ”

Florentino greeted Chu Chao with a smile and said in a mocking tone.

Chu Chao also stood up, nodded and smiled: "Sad to count a lot of money?" If that's the case, my tears could fill the entire Atlantic. ”

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

Chu Chao has always been so humorous and sharp when he speaks, and his emotional intelligence is not low.

"Okay, I won't bother you, you talk first, Xavi, I hope I can book you for half an hour, I think, we can have a good chat about Real Madrid's manager next season."

Florentino said to Harvey.

At these words, Harvey was stunned for a moment.

Messi was also stunned.

Chu Chao was also slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Wonderful.

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and this old fox is casually a slap in the face.

it, I'm still using the art of war.

However, how could someone like Xavi go to Real Madrid?

Barcelona youth academy background, Barcelona player, Barcelona coach......

This is a Catalans of extremely pure blood.

I'm really going to Real Madrid......

Barcelona fans may send him bullets.

Real Madrid fans are estimated to have all kinds of conspiracy theories, are you here to go undercover?

Chu Chao thought about this, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling for a while.

But......

After listening to Florentino's words, Xavi, who came back, obviously seemed a little absent-minded.

Messi looked at him with some concern.

The latter reciprocated with a wry smile.

Maybe there's something else going on here.

It's just that he didn't say it either.

As for the eyes that looked at Chu Chao, he began to hesitate.

Chu Chao: ......

mmp！

The bridge I expected did not happen.

This made Chu Chao feel a little unhappy.

However, if Xavi himself is not sure where he will go next season, he will hesitate now.

And......

The transfer market, with its treacherous turmoil, has never been so easy to decide.

There is no hurry.

Let's take a look.

There are more than two giants in the world, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

……

On the way back.

Chu Chao and Messi went back together.

He seemed to be a little sullen, not very emotional, looking out the window, and not speaking.

"Leo, what are you thinking?"

Chu Chao asked casually.

Messi sighed softly: "I don't know." Suddenly I miss a little bit of the time when I first started playing football, when I didn't think about anything, I just played football, I was very happy and pure. ”

"Ronaltinho, Xavi, Iniesta, Mascherano ......"

"But...... Now we're all old. ”

He said with emotion, and his tone was inexplicably a little embarrassed.

Time is really the most powerful enemy.

No matter how beautiful you are, you can't escape the passage of time.

"Are you going to be a coach too?"

"Where do you want to go?"

Chu Chao asked casually.

But in fact, I also know in my heart that a person like Messi is not suitable to be a coach.

His heart is too soft.

Moreover, not all the players, like the current Argentine players, idolize him.

Especially a giant like Barcelona.

More are thorns.

It may not be able to control the field.

Character determines destiny.

His personality determines that he is the best player, but as a head coach, there is a high probability of pulling his hips.

Messi pursed his lips and smiled.

"It's decided. But it's not the manager, it's the coach of the youth team, I invested in a football school, and after that, I went and played with the kids, and I like to play with the kids, pure and happy football. ”

When he talked about it, there was a smile on his lips and a light in his eyes.

Chu Chao couldn't help laughing aloud.

Truly.

It's kind of happy to think about.

was chatting with Messi, Chu Chao's phone suddenly rang again.

At a glance, it was Haaland calling.

Chu Chao smiled and connected.

"Chu, where is it? Are you free at night? ”

When he was playing just now, he seemed to be in the fan stands, and he was given several shots during the live broadcast, and Chu Chao also saw it.

But when he was busy playing games, it was naturally impossible to greet him.

The personal relationship with Haaland is actually not bad.

This person has a good character, although he looks a little ugly, but he can bring out his handsomeness better.

"What are you looking for me?"

"Do you train strength together? Or running a marathon, or want to boxing with me? ”

Chu Chao asked teasingly.

It can't be a broker for Manchester City, right?

The probability is not very high.

Although, Manchester City is also very rich, it is also a giant, and this year's results are also very good, and they are currently the first in the league, but they lost the Champions League.

Moreover, Manchester City's forward line has long been super-first-class luxury.

Haaland, worth 170 million.

Foden, 110 million.

Grealish, too, is 70 million.

Where do we need to replenish the manpower of a forward line of this level?

On the phone, Haaland quickly said: "Haha, today is the victory, don't work so hard." I want to invite you to a party, not only because I want to see you, but my boss wants to see you too. Moreover, there are also princes and princesses in that circle in the Middle East. They're all your fans now. ”

Belch.

Manchester City's president, Mubarak, is a member of the royal family of the United Arab Emirates and the biggest father behind Manchester City.

If you push it further, it should belong to the entire UAE royal family.

This is a bigger tyrant.

"You don't want me to move to Manchester City, do you?"

Chu Chao made a joke.

Haaland's voice was a little higher, and he looked a little excited: "I think the boss has this idea." ”

'This season, we lost the Champions League, he was interested in you at the time, and now, after watching your game against Real Madrid, he is even more interested in you.

"Chu, do you want to come to Manchester City? We can make up a twin star. ”

He said with great interest.

Thinking about that picture, I feel like I'm going to be happy.

Himself, plus Chu, is definitely sideways in the entire Premier League!

Invincibility!

Though......

Well, Foden is also quite powerful, but compared to Chu, after all, it is still a little worse.

Chu Chao heard him say this at this time, and he ...... It's also a little exciting.

I grass!

Me + Haaland?

Is this a Gemini combination?

This is obviously a double cannibal combination!

Which team can handle this?

Inevitable!

Even if he went to Real Madrid or Barcelona, he might not be so fierce.

After all, the coordination between the forwards is still very important.

There are many wealthy families.

And he and Haaland themselves are very good friends.

"Okay, tell me the time and the location."

Chu Chao immediately nodded and agreed.

Hang up.

Messi looked at Chu Chao with a gloomy look in his eyes, and he seemed to be a little aggrieved.

That's the kind of thing - dog, you seem to be running away with someone else?

Chu Chao looked at his expression and couldn't help laughing, and suddenly felt that Boss Mei was really too cute.

But he always did.

"Leo, what do you think of me going to Manchester City?"

Chu Chao decided to take the initiative and took the lead in speaking.

Messi: ......

He pursed his lips: "It's also a good choice." ”

Come to think of it, but he still has a lot of respect for others.

This kind of thing, after all, is the first major event in the life of any professional footballer.

"Manchester City is managed by Pep Guardiola, so if you think about it, maybe he's a little better than Xavi, right?"

Chu Chao suddenly remembered something, and then said with a smile.

Xavi was a player, with Pep Guardiola in charge of Barcelona.

From 08 to 12 years, it can be said that it has conquered the entire European football arena and single-handedly created the Barcelona dynasty, which has won an unprecedented six crowns!

Pep Guardiola, a superstar in the world of coaching.

It is also a near-invincible existence.

He was in Barcelona, and Barcelona won the championship.

He went to Bayern, Bayern reached the top of the Champions League, and played Barcelona like chopping melons and vegetables.

He is now at Manchester City, who are also top of the Premier League.

When Chu Chao thought about it, he suddenly felt even more emotional.

The strongest coach, plus the strongest players!

Messi's Adam's apple shook twice, realizing this, thinking of such a picture, he couldn't help but substitute for it, and felt hearty.

If that's the case, it will be a nightmare for the rest of the team.

"Chu, from the perspective of your career, I think, perhaps, Manchester City is a better fit for you, with your physical strength, even in the Premier League, you will be like a fish in water."

"La Liga's technical style will be relatively delicate, especially Barcelona, anyway, you are still young, if you wait for the future, the explosiveness of the body is not so strong, and it is not too late to come to Barcelona again."

"And, presumably, the salary that Manchester City can give will be higher."

"After all......"

He said very seriously.

Chu Chao exhaled.

I was a little moved for a while.

Break the big defense!

can restrain his own preferences and tendencies, and consider from the perspective of others in an all-round way, Boss Mei is really ...... I cried to death.

Sending him back to the hotel, Chu didn't get out of the car, and went directly to the address given by Haaland.

It felt like I had put together several rounds in one night.

But......

Now is really the moment of truth.

With the season coming to an end, the Champions League final and the summer transfer window just around the corner, timing is still crucial.

Although, I don't have to worry about "selling".

However, the sooner you get in touch, the more choices you have.

Thinking about these......

Chu Chao couldn't help but think about it......

When did I start to accept the subconscious idea of "I must transfer"?

Ay......

Sighed again.

I want to cry.

I'm sorry, Hornet fans.

It's not that I don't want to stay, it's that they give too much.

And......

Until now, the chairman of the Hornets, Raubal, has never talked to him about a salary increase or anything else.

For their own team's offer to themselves, they also uphold a tacit attitude.

This is obviously a trade-off that has already been made in my heart.

As Chu Chao said before...... Crying and counting money.

A weekly salary of one million is a financial burden that Dortmund can never accept.

It's really not a pick.

It's poverty.

Objective circumstances do not allow it.

A season ago, Chu Chao joined Dortmund, and it only took one season to help Dortmund win the league championship, and now there is a considerable possibility to win the Champions League.

Moreover, the value of the transfer has at least doubled, with a 100% profit margin.

For Dortmund, this business has already made a lot of money.

Chu Chao thought about it......

I suddenly felt ......

I grass!

It turns out that I went to Dortmund to help the poor!

And now, they still want to continue to squeeze their own value and not give themselves a million weekly salaries.

What is the difference between this kind of behavior and those black-hearted capitalists?

——"The company's current efficiency is not good, even if you are the sales champion, the bonus may have to be postponed for a period of time, rest assured, and when the company develops in the future, it will definitely make up for you." Xiao Chu, you are also a veteran of the company, everyone has feelings, and this is also the place where your dream starts, right? Grow up together......"

Chu Chao even made up such words in his brain.

A strong impulse sprung up in his heart, so, after thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and called Laubal.

"Good evening, Dear Mr. Laubar......"

Chu Chao smiled and said in a relaxed tone.

Laubar: "Chu, good evening. ”

After a few pleasantries.

Chu Chao quickly cut to the chase: "Mr. Laubar, I want to solemnly submit an application to you, I want to ask for a salary increase." ”

Chu Chao didn't say the amount for the time being.

Let's test his tone first.

See what the old man really thinks in his heart.

Hearing this, Laubar couldn't help but laugh softly: "Well, I guessed, if it wasn't for asking for a raise, you wouldn't have spoken to an old man like me so politely." ”

He teased.

The corners of Chu Chao's mouth showed a hint of a smile, a little helpless.

Not because of what he said.

It's because ......

Between adults, if you make a request and the other person does not explicitly agree with it, it is a refusal.

There was a slight silence on his part.

I guess I'm thinking about how to refuse, it will be more reasonable and tactful.

Really......

"Chu, I think it is very reasonable to make such a request based on your contribution to the team, but many times, I still have to consider the team as a whole, at present, you are already the highest salary in the team, and the club's financial situation is indeed close to a limit."

"Can you take a break?"

"If we win the Champions League, it will be a big bonus, and then I will agree to increase your salary to 600,000 euros a week."

Laubar used to be a lawyer.

When a lawyer speaks, he has a level.

Be reasonable and responsible.

The pie is painted very rigorously.

Chu Chao smiled: "Okay, Mr. Laubar, I completely agree with your decision. ”

Hang up.

Chu Chao's eyes were slightly cold.

Thinking of the people who left Dortmund before......

Mostly thinking of Royce.

The last trace of hesitation in my heart is gone.
