I don't know if it's an illusion.

When I used to see Cooper, I always felt that he was full of hatred and bitterness, as if the whole world owed him 1.8 million.

But now that I see it again, the whole person feels a lot kinder, and I feel like I put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha.

Really, the temperament is different.

"Hector, don't come unharmed."

Yang Hao went to the hotel alone to meet Cooper.

Cooper was accompanied by a very young-looking Italian, a bit like Jude Law in Spielberg's movie "Artificial Intelligence", which at first glance really felt like a robot.

Especially the hair, neatly combed and unmessy.

That image made Yang Hao feel very familiar.

"Hello, Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you." Cooper smiled and shook hands with Yang Hao.

Yes, he actually laughed.

Yang Hao sighed in his heart: This person, he has become too fast.

The second thousand-year-old, once turned over, his aura was different.

"This is our new sporting director, Marco Blanca." Cooper introduced Yang Hao.

Yang Hao was slightly stunned for a moment, no wonder he felt familiar.

"Hello, Marco."

"Hello, Yang, nice to meet you." Marco Blanca looked very kind.

This is actually a necessity, because he doesn't dare to guarantee when Inter Milan will find Yang Hao to coach in the future.

It is still very necessary to make good connections.

"Yang, you should know what we are here this time, right?" Cooper asked with a smile.

He now finds that digging into the corners of people's walls, especially those of strong opponents, is really cool, and the more he digs, the more cool it becomes.

"Of course, so I rushed back from vacation."

Yang Hao said with a smile, but he quickly changed his words, "But, to be honest, Hector, it's a bit unkind for you to do this now." ”

"How?"

"Last year, you poached three players from us in one go, and you came back this summer, are you using us as your Inter Milan training factory?" Yang Hao complained.

Both Cooper and Blanca couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Hao was angry when he looked at it.

Laugh, laugh, there will be a time for you to cry in the future.

Wait for labor and management to turn over and kill you!

"Young, you know, we are really short of people in the midfield, and there is no suitable person on the right side."

"Yes, but you can't stare at us Atletico Madrid and play with your life, right?" Yang Hao also smiled.

"Isn't the best midfielder in Europe right now Deco?"

"Who said that? It's Zinedine Zidane. ”

"He's old."

"That Rosicky in Dortmund, can also be considered."

Cooper nodded, Inter Milan are also looking at the midfielder and is also one of the candidates, but where does Rosicky compare to Deco?

At the very least, from the perspective of both offense and defense, it is still Deco that is the most suitable.

"No matter how bad it is, Manchester United's Veron can too, familiar with the road and adapting to Serie A."

Yang Hao's move is called the cause of trouble.

Inter Milan's squad is already strong indeed.

With Cooper's tactical ability, coupled with the current Inter Milan squad, if they get Deco and Joaquín, it goes without saying that this team will definitely become one of the strongest players in European football in the coming years.

This is not a good thing for Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid.

Selling requires moderation, but also consideration of competitors.

If professional football is a war without gunpowder, then the transfer market is an arms race.

Atletico are in need of money right now, but it is not in Atletico's interest to sell Deco and Joaquín to Inter Milan to create a strong Nerazzurri.

The account of the Champions League semifinals last season, Yang Hao has not yet settled with Inter Milan!

Cooper was depressed.

Yang Hao looked enthusiastic and spoke politely, but he always talked about it, and he just refused to talk.

It really didn't work, so I directly brought out the chairman Cerezo and the general manager Little Hill.

"You see, I'm also a poor worker, the two bosses said, don't sell, I can't help it!"

Cooper knew it was an excuse, but what could he do.

"What about Kaka?" Cooper asked tentatively.

The talent of this Brazilian genius is also visible to the whole world.

Yang Hao didn't have such a good temper this time, he threw his face on the ground directly, didn't say anything, and almost told Cooper directly: You crossed the line, and labor and management are very angry now!

In the end, it was Marco Blanca who came forward to ease the atmosphere and directly revealed the matter.

Yang Hao was a good hospitality, and specially invited them to have a hearty lunch before leaving.

……

"Atletico are guarding us."

As soon as Yang Hao left, Marco Blanco directly pierced Yang Hao's mind.

"Normally, they are also very ambitious."

Others don't know how much Cooper knows about Yang Hao.

Losing the Champions League last season, and finally narrowly winning La Liga, Yang Hao was somewhat unhappy, and he wanted to fight in the Champions League again, or even win the league again.

To fight on two fronts, there must be double insurance.

In fact, thinking about it the other way, Cooper wants to dig Deco and Joaquín, and he is also afraid of Atletico Madrid.

After last season's setbacks and experiences, with the age and strength of Atletico Madrid's players, Cooper may not be sure that they will meet again this season, but if Deco and Joaquin are poached, Atletico Madrid will directly lose a midfielder and an arm.

Cooper's wishful thinking sounded, but Yang Hao was not stupid.

"Why didn't you mention Joaquin again?" Marco Blanca asked curiously.

He is a professional player, played at Inter Milan for a few years, retired in 01, entered Inter Milan in 02, first as a scout, and this year he was promoted to sports director, and the business is not particularly proficient.

"Because we still have an alternative, Donny van der Meyde for Ajax." Cooper replied.

What he values most is Deco, or...... Kaka.

But Yang Hao obviously didn't want to sell any of them.

Blanca suddenly realized, "Can you ...... it in private?"

"It's better not to."

After a pause, Cooper explained: "It's better for you to do this kind of thing, you may be able to dig one up in private, but the relationship will be broken, and then in Madrid, don't expect him to invite you to dinner, then many things can't be discussed." ”

It's actually a rule.

Real Madrid's forced poaching of Valencia's Mijatovic broke the rules and feelings of the two clubs, and since then, Valencia has killed and not sold players to Real Madrid.

Otherwise, Mendieta would not have collapsed in the Apennines.

"So what now?"

"Go through the formal process and raise the price again."

"We've already driven to 35 million euros."

"That's 40 million euros."

"It's outrageous."

"Veron cost Manchester United 42.6 million euros, and he was 26 years old at the time, but Deco is better than Veron and has more honors in terms of strength and level."

Cooper's implication is, how much is Perón worth at this price, and how much is Deco worth?

……

After Yang Hao and Cooper separated, they did not go back directly, but waited in the lobby of the hotel for a while.

He actually knew very well in his heart that Deco wouldn't stay long.

Even if you keep it this year, you will sell it next year.

Because of age.

Around the age of 26, it is the most able to sell at a high price.

The transfer of players is not only a game between clubs, but also between players and clubs.

For example, Deco did not say that he would raise his salary this year, but according to the current situation, he will definitely renew his contract next year.

Because the current contract is generally four or five years, it is impossible to wait until the contract year to renew, that is too passive.

Renew the contract at the age of 27, what treatment is given?

The salary is high, and Atletico is under a lot of pressure, which scares off other buyers.

If it drags on for another two years, it will be directly let go, and Atletico Madrid will only have to give Deco a high-salary pension.

Yang Hao didn't say that he was unhappy, but in the current situation, Atletico Madrid had no way to do this.

That's why Yang Hao dug Iniesta.

Iniesta is 19 years old and will be 20 next year.

When the time comes, Kaka comes up, Iniesta plays assist, and with the addition of David Silva, the transition will be smooth.

Sell it now, okay?

It's okay, but the results of the new season are not guaranteed.

Once Kaka is injured, it will be up to Iniesta to hold on?

What if it happens in the crucial knockout round?

Of course, if it is more extreme, Deco and Kaka are both injured, then Yang Hao has no choice.

You can't fight with the sky, can you?

In the past few years, Yang Hao has engaged in laboratories and scientific training, just to avoid the tide of injuries and illnesses in various extreme situations.

So, Deco can't sell this season yet.

Joaquín is even more so.

In fact, Yang Hao has always asked French scouts to keep an eye on the blade fighter Ribery.

Last year, Ribery played for Alex in Ligue 3, but the kid wasn't a good guy either.

Because of the scar on his face, Ribery has suffered from strange eyes from outsiders since he was a child, and he is thin and easy to be bullied, which has developed his aggressive mentality, packaging himself as a hedgehog that is not easy to mess with, and fights are simply commonplace for him.

He's really talented, and everyone who watches him play knows it, but everyone thinks that this kid can't play.

Why?

As one of the best youth training bases in Ligue 1, Ribery spent three years in the Lille academy, received 250 warnings and 300 reprimands, failed a serious cultural class, and even got into a fight with a girl at school and injured her arm.

Lille finally took it all and gave him up.

Of course, Ribery has his own statement in his autobiography, he said that he was addicted to football and abandoned cultural classes, and the girl he injured had a good relationship with him, but he accidentally got it while messing around.

But the reputation in football circles is a bit unpleasant.

When Lille couldn't stay any longer, he had to return to his hometown of Boulogne, join his parents, and join the team in his hometown.

But in Boulogne, he earns a measly 150 euros a month.

Three years later, his salary rose to 400 euros a month, but he performed well in the third division and asked for a raise, which was rejected by the club owner, so he moved to his current team, Ales.

Alex gave him a monthly salary of 1,500 euros.

But now, Ales is bankrupt.

According to Yang Hao's latest information, Ribery has been trying out everywhere, trying his luck and waiting for opportunities, but the French teams are unwilling to give him a chance, including Guingamp, Caen and other teams, all of whom look down on him.

The main reason is that his reputation is too bad.

When he didn't have a tryout, he was now working on the construction site with his father, François.

Atletico Madrid's report on France scouting said of Ribery: he is very talented, he causes trouble off the field, and the probability of success is only 1%.

Yang Hao had read Ribery's autobiography in his previous life and knew how much this experience of working on the construction site had a great impact on the lives of the French.

It can even be said that in just two months, the spikes on his body have been completely worn off, but it has also made him more tenacious.

According to Yang Hao's original plan, Ribery should continue to stay in France and go to Brest to practice again, and when he is more mature, Atletico Madrid will find an opportunity to make another move.

For Atletico now, this is more worry-free.

But the poaching of Inter Milan and Chelsea made Yang Hao realize that the talent pool must be accelerated.

"Hey, Cesar."

Yang Hao called César Mendiodo, the head of scouting.

"You tell the scouts on the French side to start keeping an eye on Ribery and keep him on the site for two or three months, when the time is right, and bring him to Madrid."

"Are you really optimistic about that kid?" Mendiodo is weird.

Atletico scouts have a really low opinion of Ribery, mainly because his personality is too prickly and aggressive.

This kind of player is a troublemaker off the field, and there are very few who can kick out.

"Discipline yourself." Yang Hao was also quite speechless.

As he said before, football is a simulation of primitive hunting, and the players have a natural wildness, and the prickly personality abounds.

Those well-behaved players are hard to kick their heads when they're on the pitch.

It's like Kaka, it looks very good, right?

It's also very competitive in his bones.

The key is how the club guides and how the manager disciplines.

Character determines fate, and this saying still works in professional football.

……

"How?" Yang Hao asked with concern.

As soon as Hill Jr. and Cerezzo came out, the three of them returned to Calderón in the car.

'Chelsea are pulling the list here and there right now, you know, Roman Abramovich and his team are outsiders, so they need to use an agent like Pini Zahavi to help them operate.

"What about these brokers, it doesn't matter if it's right or not, whether they need it or not, anyway, if they can buy it, I will earn a commission."

Yang Hao was not surprised by this.

Commonly known as: spend money to buy experience.

In this case, Chelsea can't even be a triumphant.

To some extent, Abramovich can be regarded as paving the way for the later capital consortiums to fight a sentinel war.

Obviously, those who came in later, like Manchester City, are much more mature than Chelsea in terms of management and buying.

This is a clear iterative progress.

'We've all made it clear to him that Atletico players are not for sale.

"That's it?" Yang Hao asked with a smile.

"How can it be so easy?"

"Pini Zahavi is also an old man in the circle, there is no movement on weekdays, and this time he finally put his foot on Abramovich's thigh, of course, he will not be polite, so he offered to buy Torres at a high price."

Yang Hao smiled silently.

Torres is the banner of Atletico Madrid's key cultivation, and it is also one of Atletico Madrid's cards now, handsome, commercially valuable, and its own youth training, local core, how can such a player be sold?

Unless it is forced to do so and there is no way out, Atletico Madrid will not sell the core.

The same goes for a couple of homegrown players, which are the foundation of Atletico.

Yang Hao has always known in his heart that as long as he sells a little bit every season, it will not have much impact on Atletico Madrid.

Because he can make up for it with appropriate reinforcements.

With the advantage of his traverser, it is not difficult to do this.

What's more, a mature team itself must be constantly moving in and out, otherwise, the club will be a pool of stagnant water, the players will be huddled together, and the atmosphere will be very harmonious, but what about combat effectiveness?

Isn't this back to Real Madrid's old problem?

There must be competition within the team, and every season is to maintain that kind of survival of the fittest, so that everyone has a sense of crisis, and they all work hard to maintain their condition and improve their strength, so that the team can maintain its combat effectiveness.

The same is true of Yang Hao's strategy for Atletico now.

Selling in moderation can not only get a transfer fee, but also ensure the stability of the team's results.

As for this summer, with Pochettino and Simeone, the impact is already not small.

'Chelsea are willing to pay €20 million for Diego Forlan.'

"It's low." Yang Hao said.

Diego Fran was Yang Hao's decision to sell.

The reason is simple, he is starting to be reluctant to settle for the status quo.

Then there is no way.

Playing a tough game, without the effect of Torres and Drogba, and now even the goals he does best are threatened by Villa, and it is conceivable that Diego Forlan is in an awkward position at Atletico.

Rather than waiting for him to gradually become a substitute and not be able to sell for a good price, it is better to take advantage of the current popularity and cash out quickly.

"The last time we sold Hasselbaink to Chelsea, it was 30 million euros, so tell Pini Zahavi that if it is less, he will not bother."

got Yang Hao's words, and things were much easier on Xiao Hill's side.

……

Sometimes, I have to admire the influence of football in Europe.

Yang Hao had just discussed with Cerezo and Little Hill and wanted to make a big deal, so Cerezo contacted MSM Group.

MSM Group now not only sells beer, but also has its own farm, which is in the upper reaches of the bullfighting chain.

Since 97, Spain's real estate has entered a period of rapid growth, and in recent years, housing prices have been rising, especially in Madrid, where housing prices are even higher.

And some seaside holiday properties, such as Marbella or Mallorca, have doubled and skyrocketed.

This also made MSM Group very angry.

As a family-owned business, MSM Group is currently managed by four brothers, with total assets of about 1 billion euros, which is actually quite a bit worse to play real estate with such a size.

That's why they've tried to renovate the brewery site on their own, but they've been unsuccessful.

Now, Atletico's involvement has given them a chance.

The two sides hit it off.

Cerezzo made a phone call, and two days later, all four brothers came to Calderón.

Xiao Hill also immediately called Yang Hao, who was on compensatory leave, over, and the group immediately went to the scene for a field investigation.

Don't look at the Spaniards' lazy life and inefficient work, but when it comes to making money, these rich people are still very resolute, and after walking around the brewery and Calderón Stadium, they all think this plan is quite good.

The four brothers all thought they could do it.

MSM Group is a well-known brand in Spain, although it is not a big consortium, but it also has some of its own government connections, and the same is true for Atletico Madrid.

Catch up with this wave of real estate trends, strike while the iron is hot, and each other can go to the next level.

Of course, the project must be at best, for example, promising to become a benchmark project for the renovation of the old city.

Then invite the world-famous architectural design masters to do it, make it as big as possible, and make it a landmark building in Madrid and even Spain, where residential projects are sold for money, and skyscrapers are self-owned properties to collect rent.

Interestingly, Madrid has a limit on the height of buildings, and there is only one skyscraper project at the moment, and that is the four-tower business district that will be built by demolishing Real Madrid's old sports city, which is still Florentino's big deal.

The Four Towers business district is in the northernmost part of Madrid, but Atletico Madrid is located in the core area of the city, just south of the Spanish Palace.

As the capital of a country, there is nothing to say about the rental needs of office buildings, supporting high-end residences and shopping malls, which can definitely explode in the center of Madrid!

When Yang Hao wrote books in his previous life, he wrote a few books about Real Madrid, checked the rent in Madrid for a long time, and the most impressive thing was that after the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, Madrid's office buildings recovered the fastest, and the traffic and sales of shopping malls also recovered very quickly.

If you think about it carefully, it is estimated that it is also related to the height limit in the urban area of Madrid.

Huge Madrid, until now, there is not a single skyscraper, can you imagine?

Of course, whether the government and the city council can properly relax restrictions in this protracted old city renovation project depends on Cerezo's connections and connections with the MSM Group.

After all, the main M30 road winds inside the Calderón Stadium, and the brewery has been abandoned for many years in the southern part of the palace.

As for funding?

Is this a problem at a time when real estate speculation is hot?

The only obstacle for Atletico is that Yang Hao strongly insists that the ownership of the stadium must be in his hands.

This makes Atletico's contribution must be in place.

However, Yang Hao also told Cerezo and Little Hill that it really couldn't be done, so he sold the shares of Line and invested all in the project.

On the contrary, it is MSM Group, which also wants to bring in a strong third-party consortium.

Because it's faster!

But Spain's speed is still slower than in China.

According to them, a year or two of preparatory periods, all the project approvals are completed, which is already extremely fast.

After the construction starts, it will take at least another two or three years to demolish and build a new stadium, and four or five years will pass.

If the acquisition of the small plot in the middle goes well, the stadium and the residential project will start at the same time, and the land at Calderón Stadium will be used for the skyscrapers and podium, as well as the M30 diversion, which can be saved until the end.

At full completion, it will take at least 5 years to start construction of the skyscraper.

They felt that the speed was fast, but Yang Hao felt that it was still very slow.

It took 5 years to come up with such a small project?

Put it in China, and the daylilies are cold.

Haven't you seen the speed of infrastructure madness?

Well, yes, the infrastructure maniacs of 2003 weren't particularly crazy.

But Mr. Yang suggested that a construction company from China could be considered.

Why?

The price is fair, the quality is excellent, and the key is that the speed is fast!

For such large-scale projects, especially residential projects, speed is profit.

Yang Hao also has a plan in his heart.

He asked Cerezo and Junior Hill to make it clear when they worked together that the new stadium was completely owned by Atletico Madrid.

The reason is simple.

"We can sell naming rights, which is another big income." Yang Hao proposed when he held an internal meeting of Atletico Madrid.

"You mean, it's not called Calderon anymore?"

"Of course, the new stadium is called a new name, you think about it, we are preparing to build a new stadium, but we have no money, we have to sell the naming rights, isn't it a matter of course? The fans are also more acceptable, and it will slowly become a convention in the future, right? ”

It's like the advertising on the chest of Barcelona's jersey, which alone loses millions, or even tens of millions of euros every year.

The naming rights of the stadium are still quite new at the moment, but Yang Hao believes that it is not a problem to sell millions a year.

After all, this is the heart of Madrid's capital, just south of the Royal Palace.

As long as the project is made into a landmark building, it will be a must-visit Internet celebrity check-in point for tourists to travel to Madrid in the future, and they are afraid that the naming fee will not rise?

What's more, "we can sign a contract first, collect the naming fee in advance for the next few years, and use it to build the stadium." ”

"Is that okay?" Cerezo and Little Hill were confused.

On the contrary, it is Carlos Leo, who is well-informed in the United States and is amazing.

"As long as our team is consistent, there are definitely sponsors who are willing." Yang Hao is very confident.

Emirates, for example, didn't they just advance money to Arsenal to build a new stadium?

In this way, the financial side is much more confident.

If that is not enough, go straight to the bank for a loan.

All in all, we must get this stadium up.

If it can be completed in 2008 and Atletico Madrid's new stadium is in hand, as for the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, even if the residential projects and skyscrapers become unfinished buildings, Atletico Madrid will not have much impact, right?

Yang Hao also made a settlement with Cerezo and Little Hill and others.

In the next few years, the revenue of the Champions League will continue to grow, and La Liga will probably start to package and sell broadcast rights from 05, and will continue to expand overseas markets in the next few years, plus Atletico Madrid will promote it globally......

It is foreseeable that as long as Atletico Madrid remains in the Champions League zone in the next few years, all incomes will continue to rise.

"Everyone, the new stadium project is our key battle, and if we are defeated, we will have a ladder to the giants!"

When everyone heard this, they all felt enthusiastic.

Atletico Madrid's results are very good now, but they just lack a breath.

A very important reason is that the limitations of the course are too great, and the income on the match day cannot go up.

Don't underestimate matchday income, this is the most stable and indispensable part of all the big teams, and they are all proper cash cows.

was instigated by Yang Hao like this, not to mention Cerezo and Little Hill, and Atletico Madrid's morale was greatly boosted.

That's a wealthy family lying down to make money!

……

Diego Forlan ended up moving to Chelsea for €30 million.

This is the final agreement reached between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea after several negotiations and negotiations.

The Blues accepted Atletico's asking offer and successfully signed the Uruguay international.

And Atletico have only one demand, give cash.

Atletico fans are more accepting of Torres, Didier Drogba and Villa all performing well last season, and Diego Forlan has previously made statements that he wants to confirm his position.

At the same time as selling Diego Forlan, Atletico also announced that the team had rejected Inter Milan's offer for Deco, as well as Manchester United's offer for Joaquín, and Arsenal's offer for Reyes and Kaka.

The Sheets have once again announced that these players are not for sale by the team.

Yang Hao also specially called several players, saying that the team is determined to strive for another wave of results in the new season, completely vent the grievances of last season, and hope that the players can stay in the team with peace of mind.

Deco, Joaquin, Reyes and, above all, Kaka have all repeatedly pledged to stay with the team.

Kaka did not hesitate to sign a new five-year contract.

He was joined by youngsters such as Fernando Torres and Robben, who performed well last season.

Selling Diego Forlan and sending away Simeone and Pochettino, Atletico Madrid lost three players in a summer, which is still not a small influence, but the reaction from fans and media is not very strong.

In this context, Atletico Madrid announced the signing of 20-year-old Brazilian central defender Pepe from Maritimo in the Portuguese Super League for a transfer fee of 1 million euros.

The little-known Brazilian centre-back became an instant hit.

Now Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid are on the cusp of the limelight, and whoever joins will receive strong attention.

As a result, it's okay not to dig, but when you dig it, people will break their glasses.

29 games, 14 yellow cards, 2 red cards, oh my God, this is a violent maniac!

Fans have left messages on the forums on Atletico's official website, expressing their puzzling feelings about the club's signing of the violent centre-back.

But Atletico Madrid's customer service lady left a joke: Dear fans, please rest assured, he only fights the enemy and does not hurt the friendly army!

Not long after Pepe's arrival, Atletico Madrid announced the signing of 19-year-old Javier Mascherano from the Academy of River Plate, Argentina, for 1 million euros.

Atletico Madrid officials revealed that the midfielder, known as Redondo II, not only has excellent defensive ability, but also good organization and passing ability, and more importantly, he has Italian nationality and does not occupy the foreign aid quota.

Unlike Pepe, Mascherano's arrival did not cause much repercussions.

Mainly because he hasn't played in the River Plate first team at all, unlike Pepe, the number of red and yellow cards is too topical.

……

When Atletico Madrid signed two young players in succession, other teams in La Liga were also following suit.

Valencia sent off the Nordic giant John Caroo, signed Ricardo Oliveira from Santos for 3.5 million euros, and signed Mohamed Sissoko from Ligue 1 Auxerre for 1 million euros.

At just 18 years old, Sissoko is also a hot supernova in European football at the moment, and Valencia's signing can be regarded as a successful deal.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Sissoko performed well in La Liga this season and played a lot of time.

The main reason is that his physical fitness is really good, he is only 18 years old, but he is not worse than a senior player.

In Barcelona's summer election, Laporta took office without any danger.

But the Barcelona president was embarrassed to find that Real Madrid used the signing of Beckham to "celebrate" his ascension.

This is the election gift he promised to Barcelona fans.

Breaking your word and getting fat?

There's no such thing as a good thing in a membership-based club.

As a result, Laporta felt a lot of pressure and immediately announced his involvement in Ronaldinho's transfer.

Rafa Marcos spent 5.5 million euros, Ricardo Quaresma spent 6.5 million euros, and for Ronaldinho, Barcelona made a direct offer of 30 million euros, surpassing Chelsea and Manchester United.

But even so, the transfer still hasn't been negotiated.

It's not surprising that local tycoons Chelsea have entered, and if you want to win Ronaldinho, is it an easy thing?

Real Madrid, after successive acquisitions of superstars, did not make much reinforcements this summer, only bought Beckham, and the transfer fee reached 37.5 million euros.

To that end, the club sold Geremi, who had performed well on loan at Middlesbrough last season, to Chelsea for €10 million.

But like Yang Hao in his previous life, Makelele's contract renewal was frozen.

This also made Yang Hao very emotional.

The butterfly effect of the traverser can indeed change many things, but there are some things that cannot be changed no matter how you change them.

Deportivo La Liga, another side in La Liga, signed Pedro Munitis on a free transfer from Real Madrid.

This is not because of Real Madrid's kindness, or to fulfill the promise of the year, but because of the annual salary.

From Sanz to Florentino, Real Madrid's salary problems have finally been exposed.

According to Florentino's original meaning, players such as Munitis, Morientes and Solari should all be sold.

This will not only free up positions, but also free up salary space, and give new signings such as Beckham and Makelele, as well as youth players such as Portillo, to renew their contracts and raise their salaries.

But now, there's a problem.

For example, Morientes.

Bundesliga Schalke 04 was very interested in him, and general manager Asauer personally met with him in Madrid, and also completed negotiations with Real Madrid, which has also agreed to an offer of 9 million euros.

But not long ago, this transfer was aborted.

The problem lies in Morientes' annual salary of 3.5 million euros.

There is no doubt that Schalke 04 simply cannot accept such a salary demand, they cannot afford it, but Morientes is unwilling to relegate, so, for now, he can only continue to stay at Real Madrid.

What makes Yang Hao the happiest is Solari.

The Argentine winger was poached from Atletico Madrid in the first place and offered a high salary.

Okay, Atletico admit it.

In the past three years, Solari has not played much for Real Madrid, and occasionally has good performances, which is good value for money, but his annual salary is not low, and now, Real Madrid want to buy him to Lazio in Serie A.

The result?

Even Lazio disliked that his annual salary was too high.

Real Madrid have a headache right now.

Substitute players like Morientes and Solari are indeed not worth much, but their salaries are high.

The club has its own calculations, but since they have torn their faces, the players have to make their own decisions.

They just don't want to take a pay cut, and I'm like this anyway, so I'll spend it with you until the end of the contract, and then I'll go to negotiate a contract with a new club as a free agent, and probably I won't have to take a pay cut at all.

So, they are all consumed with Real Madrid.

Munitis did well after being loaned to Racing Santander last season, but it was true that he couldn't sell for a high price, so Real Madrid simply terminated his contract and let him go to Deportivo La Coruna on a free transfer.

It's a win-win business.

After Yang Hao saw Real Madrid's summer transfer operation, he had to sigh that his caution was right.

If it really did like Real Madrid, Atletico would have finished a long time ago.

But if Real Madrid does so, it will have another tragic consequence.

When the club's salary is concentrated towards superstar players, the annual salary of substitute players can be severely compressed.

Annual salary is often also a sign of strength.

That is, when the time comes, the main force will be stronger and stronger, and the substitutes will be weaker and weaker.

This is the essence of Zidanega's policy.

But with the arrival of David Beckham, many balances have been broken, can Real Madrid's superstar squad get stronger and stronger?

At least, Yang Hao doesn't see it that way.

……

With Roman Abramovich in charge, Chelsea have become the predators in the transfer market.

Only signing Diego Forlan from Atletico Madrid could not satisfy Chelsea, who were ambitious and wanted to build a giant team in a very short period of time, so they signed Vieri from Inter Milan at a sky-high price.

With Atletico rejecting the transfers of Deco and Reyes, Chelsea signed Veron from Manchester United, Joe Cole from West Ham United, Duff from Blackburn Rovers and Bridges from Southampton.

At the same time, Chelsea have further stepped up their pursuit of Ronaldinho, and even made an offer to the French midfielder when Real Madrid and Claude Makelele were at an impasse.

It's not high, only 10 million euros.

Everyone knows that Makelele's age means that his transfer fee will not be too high, but 10 million euros is too low to be realistic to want to take Makellele.

Moreover, the whole world feels that it is impossible for Real Madrid to let Makelele go, which is just a means of negotiating a contract extension.

The player is eye-to-eye with Chelsea in an attempt to put pressure on Real Madrid.

And what about Real Madrid?

It was directly returned to a sky-high price of 30 million euros.

The implication is that if you Chelsea are really sincere, take them.

When Yang Hao saw the news, he guessed that it was also a pressure method of Real Madrid, as if telling Makelele that as long as the price is right, we can sell you.

So, obediently, the contract was signed.

Unexpectedly, Makellele's agent went to London, and then Chelsea made an offer of 15 million euros.

Real Madrid is a little moved, 30 million euros, no one is missing.

Immediately afterwards, Chelsea made a third offer, 20 million euros.

Obviously, not only Real Madrid, but the whole of Spain, public opinion has changed.

What a tyrant!

A 30-year-old defensive defender has come out of 20 million euros, which is simply outrageous!

Real Madrid are clearly tempted because the offer is really tempting.

So, the two sides began to make contact and began to sit down and talk.

This talk directly stopped Makelele from talking.

25 million euros, one was taken, both sides took a step back, and Chelsea took Makelele away.

At this moment, the Spanish media are shouting incredulous.

A 30-year-old veteran can still be sold for 25 million euros.

Almost all the media and fans believe that Florentino made a good deal and slaughtered the nouveau riche hard.

Even at this time, Zidane and Vieira both came forward one after another, saying that Real Madrid's decision to let Makelele go was a wrong decision.

But who can listen?

Everyone felt that this was nothing more than a polite conversation between Zidane and Vieira.

After all, they had the best relationship with Makellele.

Only Yang Hao knew that they were serious.

The transfer market in European football this summer is too chaotic!
