Chapter 58: Big News
The news released by Real Madrid that the so-called 'opening of Raul Garcia's negotiations' is of course fake, first of all, Atletico Madrid is impossible to sell the team's outstanding main players without financial problems, not to mention, the target is still Real Madrid, which is a sworn enemy in the same city.

Perhaps, Mourinho really admires Raul Garcia, but he only represents Real Madrid, Raul Garcia is an Atletico Madrid player, the club does not let go, no matter how much Mourinho appreciates it, it is useless, whether Raul Garcia himself wants to go to Real Madrid or not, at least with Real Madrid's current performance is not as good as Atletico Madrid, the possibility of Raul Garcia wanting to leave is very small.
This news was deliberately released by Real Madrid to 'disgust' Atletico Madrid.
Compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona, two giants of the century who are very influential in Europe, in the eyes of many people, Atletico Madrid is a small Spanish club, according to the 'rules of European football', small clubs naturally can't retain good players, even if this small club suddenly performs very well.
When Real Madrid does this, it will give fans a hint - don't look at Atletico Madrid's good performance, but we can buy their good players, and it is not certain which club will perform well at that time!
Real Madrid fans will become satisfied, they will be expecting something from the club's action, and the release of news about Raul Garcia will kill two birds with one stone for Real Madrid.
In European football, it has been happening that big clubs 'eat' small clubs, and some small clubs have also sold players who have performed well as an important means of increasing club income.
However, Atletico Madrid is not what it used to be.
After the acquisition of Taywan Investment Group in the summer, many people know that the economy of Atletico Madrid is improving, and Wansheng, as the head coach of the team and the actual decision-maker of Taywan Investment Group, has much more authority than imagined, so it is difficult for this method to have any impact on Atletico Madrid itself.
However, Wan Sheng will not endure it, especially since this is still the method of his old rival Mourinho!
Mourinho wants to poach his own team? Or did Mourinho do it on purpose to 'disgust' himself?
Whatever the purpose of that Portuguese, it is a provocation to himself, and the provocation will definitely come at a price. The other side may have forgotten the 'confrontation' in England, right?
Wan Sheng decided to give Mourinho a good memory.
――――
December 20 is the 16th round of La Liga and the last round of the winter break.
Atletico Madrid's opponent is Malaga.
Malaga was the dark horse of the 2008-2009 season, but with the departure of old coach Tapia, Málaga only managed to complete relegation by one point last season - in the final round of La Liga, Malaga drew 1-1 at home to Real Madrid, and thus completed the task of relegation.
In June, the Malaga club brought in former Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini.
When he was young, Pellegrini used to be a central defender for Universidad de Chile, and after retiring as a coach, after some success, he returned to Universidad de Chile to coach his parent team, but Pellegrini did not succeed in Universidad de Chile, and after only half a season, he left the team and began to drift around his home country, and in 1994, he finally joined the Universidad Católica de Chile, and after winning the Chilean Cup again and leading the team to win the Intercontinental Cup of the Americas, Manuel Pellegrini is ready to move abroad, where he won the league title with the University of Quito in Ecuador and reached the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores.
Subsequently, after helping San Lorenzo and River Plate win league titles, Pellegrini received a call from Villarreal and the submarine signed the Chilean coach.
While relatively unknown outside of his home continent, he is an ideal choice for a small team like the Submarine looking to keep their budgets to a minimum, but it is certainly a gamble given that Pellegrini has never played in Europe before.
However, in Villarreal, diamonds still shine after all.
In an interview with FIFA's official website in 2008, Pellegrini summed up his performance in charge of the Spanish team, saying directly: "I don't know of any low tides. ”
Pellegrini's arrival immediately moved the eighth-ranked Yellow Submarine to third place and subsequently reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.
The following year, at the expense of the league, the Submarine reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, and although they were brutally eliminated by Arsenal in the end, it was undoubtedly Pellegrini's peak moment at the Stadium of Love Songs.
It should not be forgotten that Villarreal was only a team that had just been promoted to the top flight for four years when Pellegrini took over, however, he took them to a place that was only one step away from the pinnacle of European football, even if his budget was not always generous, and even those players, like him, were just a gamble when they joined.
One of the players who made Pellegrini decide to gamble was Riquelme.
After being saved from a stumbling spell at Barcelona, the Argentine made more than 100 appearances for the submarine and, although missing a crucial penalty in the Champions League, will be remembered for his excellence rather than his somewhat awkward departure.
Riquelme's case is a pivotal moment for Pellegrini, and whatever the reasons for his departure from Villarreal, it does not detract from the prestige that the Chilean has gained here over the past five years.
According to the statistics, Manuel Pellegrini is the second most successful South American manager in Europe over the past 25 years.
"Manuel Pellegrini is one of the best coaches in South America and the best coach in Chile in the world. ”
The Chilean then opted to coach Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's big-name Real Madrid was too complicated, and Pellegrini couldn't handle many of them, which led to him being forced to leave after only one year in Madrid.
Pellegrini then took charge of Málaga.
Málaga invited Pellegrini in the hope of improving the team's results, but unfortunately their financial situation is very bad, not allowing the purchase of expensive stars, and the summer can only come to those free transfers and loans, so Pellegrini hopes to bring in a few promising young players to strengthen the team and improve the potential for the future.
Isco is one of them.
Manuel Pellegrini was very optimistic about Isco, so he asked the club to contact Valencia, intending to loan the youngster on a 6 million euro buyout clause, but Atletico Madrid intervened in the middle of the game, and Isco chose to go to Madrid.
Manuel Pellegrini is haunted by this.
Last week, Isco 'made a big name' in Spanish football, but it was negative, his mistake caused Atletico Madrid to lose to Barcelona in the league standings, losing the top position in the league, Isco also became the 'sinner' of the loss, many media, commentators think that 'such mental quality and strength have no future', seeing these news, Pellegrini was happy, he was a little gloating about Atletico Madrid, or rather, Wansheng.
It is now the final round before the winter break, and Pellegrini is also hoping that the team can beat Atletico Madrid at home to complete the 'revenge' for the 'Isco transfer incident'.
Of course, beating Atletico Madrid is not an easy task.
So far in the league, Atletico Madrid have been unbeaten in the standings despite being overtaken by Barcelona, and Pellegrini has asked for a draw at the minimum, and for this purpose he has also done a lot of preparation for the team, and before the game, he himself came out to boost morale, "This is the last round of the league, the opponents are very strong, but this is at the La Rosaleda stadium and I believe we can get the final victory." ”
Pellegrini's words were perceived by the media as a provocation.
Atletico Madrid is not last season, although the standings were surpassed by Barcelona, but the two teams still have the same points, Barcelona only has a slight advantage by virtue of goal difference, this ranking is much stronger than Málaga's 12th place in the league, so there is still a big gap between the two teams.
As a weak team, to say 'I believe I will win' to a strong team, isn't that a provocation? The Chinese coach of Atletico Madrid is not easy to mess with!
Many media outlets have begun to look forward to Wansheng's counterattack.
――――
Wan Sheng didn't say anything.
Until the game between the two teams was about to start, Wan Sheng still didn't talk about the game, but the media who came to interview him didn't feel pity, but was very excited, because Wan Sheng talked about the big news that was much more important than the game itself!
'Our backline is a big headache ......'
'Godin was injured and I didn't know how to put out the squad to make the defence more solid, and the problem was that there was a huge gap between the players on the bench and the main players, but luckily it was December.
Everyone understands what Wansheng means, and December means that the winter transfer season is about to begin.
"We need to bring in a quality centre-back, but good centre-backs are scarce all over Europe, and it's a shame that the few players I'm optimistic about have already had a solid position in their respective teams...... But ......"
“…… The last Madrid derby, I saw Pacos Ferreira, who was a defensive talent that I had been looking for a few years ago, he was unsuccessful in Portugal, so I brought him to Manchester, now he is in Madrid, I am also in Madrid, and I hope to have a chance for him to come to my team......"
Copelle Ferreira!
Master Pepe!
Hearing Wan Sheng's words, all the media in the audience understood that this Chinese was planning to poach Real Madrid!
If Wansheng talks about other powerful central defenders, most of them really have no hope at all, but Pepe is different, Pepe and Wansheng, just like Carvalho and Mourinho, Mourinho left Inter Milan to Madrid, Carvalho also left Chelsea and joined Real Madrid.
What about Pepe?
Wan Sheng left Manchester City two years ago, and Pepe also chose to leave and joined Real Madrid.
Now that Wansheng is in charge of Atletico Madrid, will Pepe choose to return to play under his former mentor? It's very likely! At least Real Madrid needs to weigh it carefully, which is much more reliable than the 'Raul Garcia transfer negotiation news' released by Real Madrid!
The reaction of the media in the audience was very satisfying, in fact, he had also planned to buy a quality central defender, the team's backline was a bit intimidating, and after Godin's injury, he simply couldn't find a replacement to fill the place.
Even if you can't buy the right players this winter, you will definitely need to bring in a quality centre-back next summer.
Pepe is in the list of Wansheng's 'ready', and he is still in the first place, and the reason is simple--
Pepe used to play under him.
Pepe has a lot of strength.
Pepe is now a Real Madrid player.
The first two are personal considerations, and the latter is a club-level consideration, Real Madrid is a sworn enemy of Atletico Madrid, and it is really good to increase the strength and weaken the opponent at the same time.
Wan Sheng's words were not finished.
After talking about 'the team is going to bring in a central defender', Wan Sheng talked about Real Madrid's recent performance, and continued to praise C-Ronaldo's performance while 'mocking' Real Madrid.
According to the meaning of Wansheng's words, C-Ronaldo is the best talent in football history for a hundred years, and he will become the best star on the planet in the future, and he will surpass Pele, Maradona and other football kings.
C-Ronaldo is ...... Sole.
"There is no one before, and there is no one after", this Chinese idiom is perfect to describe C-Ronaldo.
When Wansheng first praised C-Ronaldo, the media supporting Real Madrid were very happy, they were happy to see their stars praised by their sworn enemies, which was the success of the players and the success of the club, but when it came to the back, they felt that it was not quite right, "What is this Chinese going to do?" ”
Some media have already reacted, with shock written on their faces, "He didn't plan to poach Real Madrid and bring C-Ronaldo to Calderón Stadium, right?" ”
What terrible news!
Really!
Wansheng then began to talk about the intention of Taiwan Investment Group to increase its investment in Atletico Madrid in order to renovate the Calderón Stadium and make the team and the team have a better home environment.
"This additional investment is conservatively estimated to be more than 100 million euros, the specific amount depends on the specific situation, of course, the club does not rule out that the funds will be used to buy valuable players, which can increase the strength of the team, improve the team's results, for a team, results are always the key......
