Chapter 369: The first round of the Champions League knockout round under the storm of public opinion

"Paranoia! Mouse Eyed Guy! Did he think he would be able to achieve what he is today without Real Madrid?! Does he even know what he's doing? Why did I choose to keep this troublesome Portuguese in the first place? God ......"

It is very rare that there was no plan in advance, but after an emergency PR meeting was held.

Florentino, the helmsman of Real Madrid's galaxy, hurried back to his private office in the club's office building.

The moment the office door closed, he also directly tore off the warm smile that hung on his face like a mask.

Listening to Lafayette's venting spraying Real Madrid CEO Angel Sanchez, he could only nod his head at this time, while constantly appeasing Lafayette's emotions.

"You're right, Chris is really a little ignorant this time, and he dares to find you and force the palace directly."

"Forcing the palace, heh... He almost said the words 'no credibility' to me! Who does he think he is?! What qualifications does he have to put pressure on me to get a big raise! ”

"Yes, yes... That's a lot of nonsense! I'll find time to talk to him later, he's like that sometimes, and you know his temper, it's not a big deal..."

"You think it's not a big deal? But in his eyes, the difference between him and Messi's annual salary of several million euros is a big deal!

Angel, you don't know Chris as well as I do, and now that he dares to make a request directly to me bypassing Mendez, it means that he has made a final decision in his heart, this is not the so-called negotiation, Angel, this is the ultimatum given to us by our 'King of the Bernabeu'! ”

Listening to Lafayette's firm words, the worried look in Sanchez's eyes suddenly became rich.

"What do you mean?"

Florentino seemed to be gradually calming out the emotions in his chest at this time.

He sat down in his office chair, and the softness and hesitation in his eyes only existed for a moment, and then he regained his smiling face, which seemed to be forever calm and confident.

"Don't worry, I'll wait for Mendes to explain to me in person... Or a showdown! ”

Galeries Lafayette's strong aura and confident principles made the entire Real Madrid management not panic because of Ronaldo's palace forcing incident.

On the contrary, Mendes, who hurried to Madrid to explain to Lafayette on behalf of Ronaldo in person, was completely down, and did not see the sleek and calm of the past.

But Florentino didn't bother Mendes.

The two of them have a good relationship privately, and Real Madrid is also very happy to work with many of Mendes' players.

There is no need to cut off this good relationship between the two sides for the sake of an emergency.

But the "mutual understanding" when they met was just a faΓ§ade, and Mendes clearly sensed the anger in Lafayette's heart this time!

He knew he had to give an account to the man at the helm of the biggest club in football.

So as soon as the meeting with Lafayette ended, he contacted Ronaldo directly, and the two met directly at Ronaldo's home.

Any accusations at this point are unwarranted, as Ronaldo has made his needs clear.

And from Ronaldo's standpoint, is he wrong? He's not wrong!

Maybe he was too upright, and he recognized his verbal gentleman's agreement with Galeries Lafayette too much, and really thought that he would get the highest annual salary in football after helping Real Madrid complete the Champions League defense.

Perhaps at some point before, Galeries Lafayette really seriously considered the possibility of fulfilling this promise.

But who made Barcelona's top management collectively reduce their intelligence and complete a huge salary increase for Messi that shocked the football world!

At this time, if Real Madrid matches Ronaldo with Messi's highest annual salary in football, then Real Madrid's reasonable salary structure will completely collapse, which is naturally the situation that Lafayette is most unwilling to see.

So both of them have their own reasons, and neither of them is willing to take a step back, so of course they can only lose in communication......

Mendes chatted with Ronaldo for a long time that night, without emotional venting, but from the perspective of Ronaldo's personal interests, he helped him specifically analyze the pros and cons of staying in Real Madrid and leaving Real Madrid.

No one knows how far they had talked that night, or whether they had made up their minds or not.

Many Western media took photos of Mendes and Real Madrid's high-level meeting the next day.

And just after Mendes ended the second meeting and communication with Florentino, the Marca newspaper broke the big news that shook the football world!

"Renewal negotiations break down! Portuguese superstar is likely to leave the Bernabeu in the summer window! 》

When this news report just came out, many Real Madrid fans only thought it was funny at a glance and didn't take it to heart.

But as the newspaper Ace revealed more details of the meeting and conversation between Florentino and Mendes.

Especially after pointing out that Ronaldo's request to match Messi's annual salary was completely unagreed to by Real Madrid's senior management, many Mei Linger who knew about it before were a little panicked!

Because this is indeed a fact, and it is also a hidden incident buried in the hearts of many Real Madrid fans!

Not many media outlets have reported on this before, because at that time everyone believed that Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo would eventually handle the salary increase properly.

But now looking at the menacing Marca newspaper and the Ace newspaper, it looks like the negotiations between the Real Madrid senior management and Ronaldo's agent team have broken down, and Real Madrid fans can't help but believe it.

Many Real Madrid fans took decisive action, either leaving a message under the official push of the club to ask for the truth of the incident, or directly going to the training base and outside the club's gate to wait for the news.

However, what they finally waited for was only a "rumor-refuting" notice issued by Real Madrid's official.

A few words, a cold explanation, no more explanations, but more confirmed the news and remarks released by the Western media who are carnivaling in the field of public opinion at the moment!

All of a sudden, the heavyweight news that Ronaldo and Real Madrid are likely to part ways in this summer window spread quickly around the world!

With the influence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid around the world, such news has not only caused a major earthquake in the sports circles of various countries.

Everybody started talking about it, even people who didn't know anything about football could talk about it with gusto.

After the topic quickly fermented, many fans of other giant teams began to discuss the possibility of the team they supported in the summer window stealing Ronaldo.

The Portuguese superstar has just turned 31 years old, and he was the European Golden Boot winner last season.

Such a football nuclear weapon, when he is usually an opponent, he is eager to ridicule and belittle him as an ordinary star, and it is just like relying on Real Madrid's packaging and the feeding of the whole team to play luxury data.

But to be honest, now there is a real opportunity to have such a phenomenal supergiant, and the fans who have sprayed Ronaldo before have to be "really fragrant"~

As the 2015-2016 season gradually entered the second half of the sprint, the news of the breakup between Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid completely overwhelmed all other football reports.

One week has passed, and two weeks have passed!

The topic of Ronaldo has not diminished in the slightest, and there have even been abstract acts of fans of other giant teams huddling together to show love to Ronaldo on the Internet.

However, public opinion is in turmoil, and Real Madrid on the field does not seem to be affected much.

From January 30th to February 13th, Real Madrid ushered in a wave of hearty three consecutive wins in the league, and Ronaldo scored seven goals in these three games, and it seemed that he was not disturbed by outside public opinion at all.

And at this moment, the news of "Leon returning to Real Madrid is ripe" has gradually been born in the Premier League.

I don't know if he made an appointment with Ronaldo to break out together, and Leon has also scored six goals in the last three Premier League games!

He personally played a luxurious statistical performance of four shots and two passes, helping the team beat Watford 4-1, Arsenal 1-0, and Newcastle 3-0, leading the team to three consecutive wins in the Premier League in mid-early February!

However, in the fourth round of the FA Cup in early February, Chelsea, who played almost exclusively academy players, were beaten 2-1 by Milton Keynes Dons and ushered in February's "first defeat".

But there is no longer any English media concerned about Chelsea's abandonment of the English domestic cup.

They are not even interested in Chelsea's recent three-game Premier League winning streak.

They now want to know what Leon thinks about Cristiano Ronaldo's potential to leave Real Madrid this summer.

And has he considered returning to Real Madrid after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure, to his parent club, which still has a large number of fans who support him!

No matter how Leon responds to this, as long as he answers such a question, there are too many points that reporters can write!

No matter how many issues it is published, it is an excellent traffic selling point!

However, Leon has obviously been mentally prepared for a long time, and he also has his own way of dealing with these reporters who always want to make a big news.

"I'm very sorry for the rumours because everyone knows what Chris means to Real Madrid fans.

If you have to say anything, my opinion is to continue to enjoy Real Madrid, they are really a very strong team with a very attacking spectacle! ”

"I probably don't know as much about this as you do, because I haven't spoken to Chris and my other former Real Madrid team-mates for more than a month since the FIFA awards show.

In fact, I also want to know, what misunderstandings have happened here? So if you have first-hand information, please publish it as soon as possible, and I will be happy to subscribe to your newspapers! ”

After several times using similar tactics to block the reporters who "hunted" him, and continued to ask questions, Li Ang finally calmed down a lot on the way to the training base and home.

However, the hustle and bustle on the Internet still does not show the slightest momentum to subside.

It was also in this context that the continental giants started their first Champions League knockout game of the season!

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, as the first two European powerhouses, have naturally attracted the attention and expectation of many neutral fans.

In recent years, after Paris has passed the stage when local tyrants first became owners, buying people only looking at the name and not paying attention to reality, and now the idea of recruiting is becoming more and more professional and standardized.

Although the large-scale spending is still continuous, but the redundant so-called "stars", Grand Paris is not soft at all.

For example, a certain striker has been constantly working to the death in the first two seasons, pressuring the top management of Grand Paris to demand a salary increase.

As a result, as soon as the summer window opened last year, Nasser directly sold the injured guy to the Turkish team at a discount.

In the face of the 2-choice choice of either going to the Turkish Super League or staying in Paris to sit on the bench, a certain forward can only obediently choose the former.

In a way, this can be regarded as an advance of his desire to return to his homeland to play.

It's just that this time he couldn't continue to teach him personally, and Li Ang felt very unhappy!

Even his interest in the traditional project of beating Paris has become a little faint.

However, no matter how much advantage he has at the level of hard power, in the first Champions League knockout game of the new season, Li Ang and his teammates are still 100% in spirit.

On the evening of February 16, under the lights of the Parc des Princes in Paris, the main players of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain all appeared on stage!

Compared with the previous two seasons, Paris Saint-Germain is now more balanced in attack and defense, and its strength has steadily entered the top ranks of the European continent.

And with the detailed introduction of commentators from various countries, the starters and formations of the two teams today are also disclosed in front of the fans one by one:

Paris Saint-Germain's starting goalkeeper is new German international Trapp.

At the back, David Luiz and Marquinhos, the most formidable centre-back duo in Ligue 1, are still protecting Paris today.

The experienced Maxwell is at left and Van der Wiel at right.

In midfield, the old midfielder Motta is in the middle, and the left and right central midfielders are Matuidi and Verratti respectively.

In the forward line, the new forward trident of Lucas Jr., Higuain and Di Maria has become the only choice for Paris coach Blanco.

After finally sending away the Plague 272 and poaching Matuidi from Real Madrid, Blanco was finally able to let go of his coaching philosophy.

The upgraded version of Paris he created has played 23 wins and 3 draws in Ligue 1 this season, and is currently nearly 30 points ahead of Monaco, which is second in the league!

The team that played such a statistic, even if it was pinched out of a soft persimmon in the fifth league of the European continent, there is more or less a saying.

Before the game officially started, Li Ang stood in his own half with his hands on his waist and looked up, and saw several familiar faces at once.

Little smokers, angels, the first little pony who was once by his side, Matuidi, and the former king of atmosphere in the Chelsea dressing room, David Luiz.

They used to play together on different teams, but now they will be competing against each other on the field.

In an instant, Leon couldn't help but think of the smile on his face when he went to visit his predecessor Belleron many years ago, and the other party comforted him to see the smile when he wanted to open the football transfer...

"Just follow your path with a clear conscience."
