Chapter 595: A Quiet Life
Mijatovic finally gave up, and he told Calderón about the glorious reply.
"He's really not interested in us, Mr. Calderon."
Calderón was stunned for a long time after hearing the news.
There really is someone who would refuse Real Madrid's call so without hesitation......
"His brain...... Is there a problem? Calderon really couldn't understand it and blurted out. Of course, he soon realized that he was not right, so he quickly changed his words. "Uh, I mean Real Madrid used to have a grudge against him?"
"I don't know how to do it, there shouldn't be. It's hard for us ......to understand," Mijatovic said.
"Okay!" Calderón was also ruthless. "Since he voluntarily rejected our olive branch, then he doesn't want to be able to come to Real Madrid! In the future, even if he wants to come, he doesn't want to! ”
When he said this, Calderón felt that he was already the president of Real Madrid, and he found a little bit of Florentino Pérez's domineering!
※※※
Glory confirmed that he had rejected Real Madrid's invitation.
Calderón can only be promoted and revise his campaign promise, otherwise, it would be ridiculous - the player in his campaign promise has publicly stated that he is not interested in joining Real Madrid, which is not only a slap in the face of Calderón, but also a slap in the face of Real Madrid club.
At that time, if the Real Madrid members who feel that they have been insulted count this account on their heads, how wronged they should be!
So he urgently arranged public relations.
In an interview with reporters he invited, he changed his tune: "If I become president of Real Madrid, I will bring Kaka, Robben and Cesc Fabregas!" ”
Glory's name was crossed out and replaced with Robben, and a Fabregas name was added.
Before, he thought that only two people, Glory and Kaka, would be enough.
The other candidates are all three target players and we only have two, but the quality of these two is better than their three, so we just have to go off the beaten path, we have to be different, we have to be very ordinary.
But now that Glory has publicly rejected him, Calderon has no bottom in his heart, so he adds Fabregas to the list.
Being able to poach the midfielders cultivated by this sworn rival Barcelona is believed to somewhat dilute the dissatisfaction of Real Madrid members with the glory that cannot come.
At the same time, in order to be able to divert hatred, he was also promoted to public relations, and a large number of articles appeared in the media.
From ball skills to character, it has been hacked all over.
Saying that glory is only speed, such a player cannot be injured, and once he suffers an injury, his speed is lost. What is the threat of losing the glory of speed? So it's better if he doesn't come to Real Madrid, lest Real Madrid spend a lot of money on a waste that has passed its prime......
Speaking of character, naturally he is proud and conceited, and he has no one in his eyes, and he began to flutter after achieving such outstanding results at a young age......
In fact, it was all the set that the German journalist Timo Brauer once used to bring black glory, and now it has been picked up by the Spanish media, refrigerated, and then shown to Spanish readers.
Because the Spanish fans didn't know how the German media commented on the glory of the report, they didn't know that it was fried cold rice, but they felt that what they said was very reasonable and correct.
Under the control of public opinion by the media, they gradually feel that even if they don't come to Real Madrid, it doesn't matter, it's okay not to come! We at Real Madrid don't need players like that!
Calderon's approval ratings have stopped slipping and are rising again as the media continues to shine in the dark.
He breathed a sigh of relief—it seemed that the crisis was over.
If you don't die, there will be a blessing, and it seems that I can successfully be elected president of the club!

When everyone found out that Calderón had revised his campaign promise, they knew that Real Madrid's private contact with Rongguang must have failed, so Rongguang would not go to Real Madrid.
Bayern Munich fans breathed a sigh of relief – they were really worried that Glory would leave.
Thinking about Ballack's desire to leave Bayern Munich in every possible way, or even to a team like Chelsea, it is clear that Bayern Munich's attractiveness to players in European football has actually decreased a lot.
Through Calderón's speech, everyone can guess that Real Madrid must have had private contact with Rongguang, but I'm afraid no one can guess how Real Madrid Club made contact with Rongguang......
Yes, who would have thought that Real Madrid's future general manager, Mijatovic, would be like an ordinary star chaser who would stay on the training ground for five days and end in failure?
That story is really twists and turns that make those who hear it cry and those who see it sad!
If possible, this experience, Mijatovic really does not want to mention for the rest of his life, let it drown in the dust of time!
He is now very glad that he was dressed well and was not recognized, otherwise it would be a stain that he could not erase in his life!
※※※
In the eyes of outsiders, the rumors of a transfer to Real Madrid caused by the election of the president of Real Madrid should be over.
But Glory probably didn't see it that way - he didn't take it seriously at all.
The hype in the Spanish, German and Chinese media did not affect him at all.
Think about it, in total, Mijatovic answered the phone once, and everything else was handled by his agent Debola, how could he think that this was a turmoil?
Perhaps only the reporters who make a fuss think this is a great thing.
Glory's daily life is quite simple - training, competition, training, competition.
In that period, Real Madrid drew 0-0 away at Wolfsburg before beating Schalke 04 3-0 at home.
After 26 league games, Bayern Munich is top of the league table with 66 points, and is 10 points ahead of second-placed Hamburg. With only eight league games remaining, there is no longer any team that can shake the Bayern Munich title.
The league title this season is definitely Bayern Munich.
Glory, on the other hand, scored twice against Schalke 04 and was the main contributor to the team's victory.
In the next round of the 27th league game in Duisburg, Glory was put on the bench by Magath, and Bayern Munich rotated in this game.
Of course, it is to prepare for the Champions League quarter-final against Villarreal.
Magath did not dare to underestimate this team, although the Yellow Submarine was considered the weakest team in the quarterfinals, Magath still gave this team enough attention.
He didn't want that to happen to him in the gutter.
Now that the league title is secured, the focus should be shifted to the Champions League.
Bayern Munich also stopped in the quarterfinals last season, and this time there must be a breakthrough.
Bayern Munich, who had no glory, beat Duisburg 3-1 away thanks to a goal and an assist from Lucas Sutton.
Now they can wait for the arrival of the yellow submarine at home.
※※※
Villarreal, a small team in Spain, wore yellow jerseys, so their fans used the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" as the team's anthem in the last century, and sang it in every game.
Since then, the team has received the nickname "Yellow Submarine".
The team had been unknown before, but when they finished third in La Liga in the 99-00 season, they were repromoted to La Liga. Since then, they have embarked on a path of miracles.
They reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in 03/04, their best result so far.
In the 04-05 season, they simply finished third in La Liga and qualified for the Champions League with this result.
In the qualifying round, they beat Premier League powerhouse Everton twice to qualify for the main event. In Group D, with Manchester United, Lille and Benfica, they turned out to be the top of the group! This is really a result that no one expected after the group draw ceremony came out.
Manchester United, on the other hand, ranked third in the group and did not qualify for the group at all...... You can only play in the League Cup.
Villarreal have held United to a draw at home and away and haven't conceded a single goal, which shows how solid their defence is.
It's not easy for a Spanish team.
After reaching the knockout rounds, they met Glasgow Rangers in the quarter-finals.
In the first leg, Villarreal drew 2-2 away and scored two away goals.
After returning to home, Villarreal drew again, 1:1, 3:3 on aggregate, and with the advantage of more away goals than their opponents, they eliminated Glasgow Rangers and advanced to the quarterfinals.
Of all eight teams in the quarter-finals, Villarreal is considered the weakest team, and whoever draws is lucky.
After all, it can be seen from the previous games that Villarreal relies more on defense. They are the quarter-finals team with the most draws, and they have relied on draws from the group stage to the knockout rounds.
In the face of their opponents' strong attacks, they can often only try to hold for a draw.
They can't afford to play against the big teams because then their backline will definitely be beaten into a sieve.
The two group games against Manchester United were very obvious, both at home and away, they contracted their defence, relying on tenacious defence to force two games 0-0.
Even on their home turf, they didn't dare to press up and play against Manchester United.
You must know that Manchester United this year is at their lowest point, and their performance in the Champions League is actually not very good, otherwise they would not even be able to get out of the group stage.
But even in the face of such Manchester United, Villarreal did not dare to press out and attack.
So it makes sense for everyone to despise him.
But Magath didn't dare.
Originally, in the cup competition, the team with a good defense was the most difficult, and Villarreal was not without attack at all.
Thoughts, their attack power is very strong.
In 30 rounds of La Liga, Villarreal scored 40 goals, which is not the most goals, but it can be ranked fourth in the whole La Liga.
How could a team with Diego Forlan and Riquelme not attack enough?
Diego Forlan scored 25 league goals last season, not only for the La Liga Golden Boot that season, but also for the European Golden Boot that season.
And Riquelme is the engine of the yellow submarine. It was he who provided the Yellow Submarine with a steady stream of power. He was very sharp in his playmaking midfield. He is also the captain of the Argentine national team and the playmaker of the midfield.
He is known as one of the most classical midfielders, and he has a delicate footwork that allows him to break through individually in a dense defence as well as find a passing space in a dense defence.
In addition, Villarreal also have a midfield stalwart - Senna. The Brazilian has a lot of running ability and can sweep back and forth in midfield on his own. Villarreal has a great defence, thanks in large part to him.
Finally, another important reason why this team is difficult has to talk about their head coach Chilean "engineer" Pellegrini.
The head coach was once the best championship coach in South America. He enjoyed great success in San Lorenzo, Argentina, leading the team to the Copa Libertadores.
He moved to Spain in 2004 to coach Villarreal and led the team to a third-place finish in La Liga in his first season.
Under his management, Villarreal has a team style rarely seen by a La Liga team, and Villarreal has been pinched into a whole by the "engineer", which is why this team can defend tightly in the Champions League.
In addition, on the basis of football as a whole, Pellegrini made the most of the talent and individual abilities of his stars, he did not ask Riquelme to come back and gave him full trust and freedom. This is exactly what Argentines like.
He also gave absolute trust to Diego Forlan, who had suffered a setback at Manchester United, and rejuvenated Forlan in this small La Liga team.
In this way, with team spirit and phenomenal star performances, Villarreal became a La Liga powerhouse.
