Chapter 218: Crazy Transfer (7)
On June 15, there was a shocking transfer news in French football - Ronaldinho transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to Manchester United for a sky-high price of 25 million pounds.
This news came out and shocked the entire world football world.
Xiao Luo's transfer can be described as a twist and turn. At first, Ronaldo and Manchester United were very close at one point, and everyone thought that Ronaldo would eventually switch to the Red Devils Manchester United. Unexpectedly, on the eve of the completion of the transfer, Real Madrid first came out halfway and mixed up the originally clear transfer. Then Barcelona joined again, paying a sky-high price of 30 million euros, wanting to cut off halfway, so far, this transfer has become a war of the three countries, and a good transfer has been mixed into a pot of porridge.
Now, Manchester United have taken Ronaldo for 25 million pounds ($35.75 million or 38 million euros), which undoubtedly makes the whole of La Liga, especially Barcelona, the closest to Ronaldo, angry. Laporta was even more angry and slapped the table in the office and scolded Jiang Feng for being shameless. His hope of revivals in Barcelona was brutally destroyed by Jiang Feng.
However, Laporta also has to admit that according to the contract announced by Paris Saint-Germain, the conditions given by Manchester United to Paris and the treatment given to Ronaldo are indeed better than those offered by Barcelona.
Damn, 25 million pounds, I'll see how you make it back! Laporta said angrily.
He never imagined that Manchester United would offer Ronaldo £25 million and £100,000 a week superstar-level treatment, and he didn't want his image rights.
It's incredible!
"Mr. President, he's one of the top 10 super-richest people in the world, with a net worth of more than $15 billion, and has just pledged to inject at least $100 million a year into Manchester United to buy players. The 25 million pounds is really nothing to Jiang Feng," the assistant on the side kindly reminded.
I'm mad at me! Laporta slammed the table to vent his anger.
However, as Barcelona's sworn enemy, Real Madrid's president Florentino stood up and teased Laporta at this moment.
Florentino said. Didn't Laporta say he was going to buy Ronaldinho and revive Barcelona? How can there be so few offers on contracts and transfers? That's too stingy. Look at Real Madrid, which star we fancied, it was not hesitant to take it, we not only brought in Zinedine Zidane for 45 million pounds, but also Figo for 37 million pounds, and Ronaldo for 28 million pounds. If Real Madrid were interested in Ronaldinho, they would buy him at any cost.
Obviously, Florentino was purely disgusting Laporta, but it was really disgusting.
Of course. For Ronaldinho's transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Manchester United, the most angry is undoubtedly the Parisian fans.
After the World Cup last summer, Ronaldinho, who won the World Cup with Brazil, returned to France on July 21, 2002 from vacation to prepare for the new season. Upon his arrival in Paris, he was warmly welcomed by the local fans like a triumphant hero.
And in this past season, Xiao Luo has been unanimously loved by Paris Saint-Germain fans. But now, Paris Saint-Germain has sold the hero in the hearts of the fans, is it unbearable? !
Angry PSG fans lashed out at the club's greed for money. Sell the flag man of Paris for money. Many radical fans even ran to the residence of the team owner to pull banners, threatening to ask him to give an explanation, and to give an explanation to Luis Fernandez, the Paris coach who caused Ronaldo to have the idea of transferring.
In the face of angry Parisian fans, in order to calm the anger of the fans. The Parisian boss was ruthless and put this urinal on the head of coach Luis Fernandez, who had a conflict with Ronaldinho. Suddenly, Luis Fernandez, the team's former decorated player and decorated manager, became a referential dictator who was considered by Parisian fans to be a stubborn and arbitrary dictator. Only one person's preferences to do things, not caring about the interests of the team in the slightest.
Of course, Paris Saint-Germain at this time was not a giant. Not much attention has been paid to its news, and at this time, the eyes of football people are focused on Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona, three of the most famous clubs on the planet. Because the grievances between these three clubs have not subsided with the dust settles on Ronaldinho's transfer to Manchester United, on the contrary, it has intensified.
This time, the focus is on heartthrob David Beckham, the most famous Manchester United star in the transfer market this summer.
For some reasons, heartthrobs will definitely not be able to stay in Manchester United, not only Sir Alex Ferguson can't tolerate Beckham, but Beckham himself is not willing to stay in his old club anymore, as for the reason why Beckham fell out with his old club - Beckham's wife Victoria, she doesn't want Beckham to continue to stay at Manchester United.
And Beckham's transfer partners are mainly Real Madrid and Barcelona, a pair of old enemies.
Originally, in March and April, there were rumors of Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid, and later, Barcelona also joined in, and once almost reached a transfer agreement with Manchester United. It's just that this transaction, because of Xiao Luo, has undergone some changes. Between Ronaldo and Beckham, Laporta is more inclined to Ronaldo, which is not only due to the fact that Ronaldo's style of play is more suitable for Barcelona, but also for economic reasons.
In the past few years, Barcelona's results have been very poor, and the team's economic situation is not good. And Beckham is now in full swing, and if he doesn't fall out with Manchester United, or spends more money, there is no hope of buying him.
Of course, there is greater commercial value in buying Beckham, because Beckham's fame is too high now. However, what Barcelona urgently needs now is good results, as well as financial embarrassment, coupled with Real Madrid's imperative win against Beckham, so they have targeted Ronaldo.
However, now that Ronaldo has been bought by Manchester United for a high price, Barcelona has lost its first target, so they have to turn their attention back to Beckham. Coupled with Florentino's ridicule of Barcelona at this time, Laporta was very unhappy, so Barcelona offered Beckham to Manchester United again, and they raised the price to the price of Ronaldo's transfer to Manchester United - 25 million pounds! This price is a million pounds higher than Real Madrid's previous offer.
Florentino saw that Laporta was fighting him, so he naturally didn't want to admit defeat and followed the price increase.
In the end, when Real Madrid increased the price to 30 million pounds, Barcelona finally had no choice but to withdraw. Because this summer, Barcelona's total transfer budget is only 35 million pounds. And the current situation of the team is not something that Beckham can solve. What's more, the 35 million pounds can't even be taken by a single Beckham now.
In this way, Beckham's transfer can be regarded as settled.
And the happiest person to get this offer from Real Madrid is Jiang Feng, because he made 10 million pounds more than the original.
Real Madrid's original offer for Beckham was only £25 million!
At this time, because Manchester United has successively reported a series of transfer news such as Ronaldo, Rooney, and Ronaldo, Manchester United fans have been relatively calm about Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid.
On June 17, after Manchester United announced Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid, Barcelona also made a low-key transfer request to Manchester United to buy the team's third striker, Forlan.
Originally, Jiang Feng had always been concerned about Barcelona's involvement in Xiao Luo's transaction and making him spend an extra 10 million pounds, but seeing that it helped later, Jiang Feng made up for the loss in Beckham's transfer, and Jiang Feng didn't care about it anymore.
What Barcelona didn't know was that if he hadn't intervened in Beckham's transfer and proposed Forlan's transfer to Manchester United, Jiang Feng would have planned to make a move on Barcelona Academy players such as Messi and Cesc Fabregas.
After Jiang Feng agreed to Forlan's transfer, he also canceled the plan to poach Messi, Cesc Fabregas and Pique, although he knew the potential of these little guys in the future.
To be a man must be content, and you can't hold all the good things in your own hands.
On the football field, it's not about hoarding all the good players to make a good team. It's important to see if there is chemistry between the players, especially between the stars. Messi has achieved incomparable results at Barcelona in La Liga, but he does not necessarily fit into Manchester United's system.
Besides, wouldn't it be a lot less fun to bring together Ronaldo and Messi, lifelong rivals, into one team?
In addition, there is now too much talent in Manchester United's squad: Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Robben, Torres...... These are the people who, when they grow up in the future, will be enough for the team to have a headache.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, this statement is not new.
Of course, Ronaldo's transfer to Manchester United and Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid not only stimulated the fans, stimulated Barcelona, but also stimulated the super-rich super-rich club - Roman Abramovich's Chelsea, which is ready to go but has not yet had time to do it.
After entering the summer, the player transfer market has also been opened, but Abramovich has a lot of dollars in his hand, ready to buy his favorite superstar, and play a real football manager game. It's just that he didn't expect that he hadn't chosen a target yet, but Jiang Feng shot first. And as soon as he made a move, he made such a big move.
My Chelsea is not going to be a belly, it's going to be a champion, Abramovich said in no uncertain terms. (To be continued.) )
