At this time, most of his teammates in Milan left Milan to report to their respective national teams, and Jonk was the most relaxed one, he was busy shopping after returning to Milan, not that he was not selected for the national team, but reported a week late, which was considered a reward for Jonk by coach Scolari, and when the national team game was completed, he had to return to China to complete the Asian Dream Cup and some commercial activities.

Knowing that Jonk was about to leave, so, Melissa. Trio travelled to Milan from France to fully enjoy his time with Jonker.

"How long have you been out there?" Melissa. Trio asked softly as he handed Joan a freshly peeled apple.

"More than half a month, and then I will go to Huaxia to participate in some activities and a charity competition. When all these things are done, you have to start getting busy, and by the way, I really don't know if this holiday is still a holiday. Jonk took Melissa. Trio handed over the apple, and said with some complaints.

"Well, this year is not a big year, you are still so busy, my big star, you should be happy." Speaking, Melissa. Trio sighed faintly, "As long as you think about it, you will feel tired, you want to be famous if you are not famous, but there is a price to be famous, and there must be sacrifices." ”

"Uh-" Jonk really didn't know where this woman got so much emotion, but speaking of which, it was really like that, many times after becoming famous, time seemed to be very fast, but he had less and less time left for himself.

At this time, Jonck's cell phone on the coffee table rang, and Melissa. Terio looked at the number and handed it to Jonker. "It's your agent, Mr. Mendes."

Jonk took the phone. There was no good tone to disturb him and Melissa. Mr. Terrio's two-person world agent said, "Hey, old man, I didn't say that I was going back to China during this time. Isn't there anything that doesn't bother me? ”

Mendes knew Jonker's virtue, didn't mind Jonk's tone, and said on the other end of the phone: "Jonk, I'm in Milan now, I have something to look for you." ”

"What's the matter?" Jonk asked suspiciously, Mendes is helping Mourinho make a last-ditch effort, and whether he can stay at Chelsea will depend on this summer. How could you suddenly call yourself, listening to the meaning of this, it seems that things are more important.

"We didn't communicate before. Are you talking to AC Milan about a new contract now, things are going a little bit wrong. Mendez said.

Something about the new contract? It's business, Jonk is no longer lazy, he picks up his phone. Stand up. Walking to the balcony, looking at Lake Como not far away, he took a deep breath and said, "Is there a problem with the new contract?" What does club mean? ”

Instead of saying it directly, Mendez continued, "Where are you?" I'll go find you. I couldn't say it on the phone. ”

"Well, I'll go to your hotel. I'm not at home right now, so I'll just drop by and go to your hotel. ”

"You're not home?" Mendes said angrily: "Don't lie, boy, you look down and look at your door......"

Jonk bent down to look over, just in time to see Mendez waving to him, but he didn't expect the lie to be exposed at once, Jonk laughed dryly, waved his hand, and said into the phone, "What a coincidence, old door, it's nice to meet you." ”

"It's a coincidence." Mendez said unceremoniously, "Okay, Jonk, I don't care which woman is in your house, I won't bother with your private affairs anyway, I'll ring the doorbell." ”

"Which woman?" Jonk shook his head, "Don't talk about how much I care. As he spoke, he asked the maid to open the door for Mendes.

Hanging up, Jonker walked back from the balcony and yelled at Melissa. Trio shrugged, "Our two-person world is going to be disturbed, Jorge is here, something's going on." ”

Melissa. Trio said softly, "I'm going to make coffee." ”

Jonk nodded, that's why he psychologically liked Melissa more. Terrio is together for the reason Melissa. Trio is very caring, knowledgeable, gentle and caring.

Melissa. Terrio brought two cups of freshly brewed coffee.

Look at Melissa. With Trio's back as he left, Mendes winked his eyes at Jonker, "Of all your women, Miss Trio is the most temperamental and suitable for being your wife." ”

Jonk ignored the topic and asked Mendez, "What happened?" Let you run it yourself. ”

Mendes then said: "I was about to communicate with the Milan club about your new contract, but yesterday I received a call from Galliani saying that the club wanted to give you a raise. ”

The news surprised Jonk a little and was happy, "It's good, the club actually offered me a raise?" ”

Mendes chuckled, "If you knew what they offered about the salary for the new contract, you wouldn't be so happy." ”

"How much?" Jonk immediately asked, he had always been sensitive to money.

"They're willing to raise your salary from the current €4.5 million to €5 million, the same level as Pirlo." Mendez said. After saying that, he took a sip of coffee.

Hearing Mendes say this, Jonk groaned for a moment, and the annual salary increase was 500,000 euros, which is the same as Pirlo, second only to Kaka in the team, and like Pirlo and several other veterans, it is at the level of five million euros, which seems to be very good.

However, you must know that Kaka's current annual salary is 9 million euros! Your annual salary is almost half of Kaka's? Thinking about it like this, Jonker's heart was very uncomfortable.

"Have you spoken to them further?" Jonk asked.

Mendes nodded, "I met with Galliani today and had preliminary communication, but the tone of the club seems to be tough, they insist on an annual salary of five million euros, although I suspect that it is possible to increase it further, but it is difficult to increase it significantly." It's hard to live up to our expectations. ”

Jonk and Mendes had an initial communication, and if he renews his contract with AC Milan and signs a new contract, then Jonk's expectation is six million a year. It should be said that this request of Jonk cannot be called greedy, you know. Kaka's annual salary is 9 million euros, but look at the importance of Jonk now at AC Milan, as well as the number of goals scored by Jonk, and the Champions League title he just won for AC Milan, raising his annual salary to 6 million euros, taking two-thirds of Kaka's annual salary. This is not excessive, in fact, in Italian football. Many media have even begun to admit that in the AC Milan team, Jonker's role is not weaker than Kaka's. Even more important than Kaka. This importance. If you want to measure and reflect, salary is a very important benchmark.

"The attitude of the club is tougher?" Jonk asked.

"Yes." Mendez nodded.

"That's weird. You know why? When he discussed with Mendes to propose a new contract, the result of the discussion between Jonk and Mendes was to avoid overstimulating the Milan club, so the annual salary of six million euros was proposed. It's not too much, it's really too much. Jonk could have asked for the same annual salary as Kaka.

Mendez sneered, and instead of answering immediately, he found the remote control from the cupboard and turned on the TV in the living room of Jonker's house. Mendes was a frequent visitor to Jonk's quarters, and he knew it well.

"What's on TV?" Jonk asked, confused.

"You'll see it when you look at it." Mendez tuned his television to the sports news station. Sports news is being broadcast.

Then, Jonker saw a familiar face, it was AC Milan club owner Silvio Berlusconi.

'We will do everything we can to get Ronaldinho to come to AC Milan and he said he would not want to go to any other team but us. AC Milan have a lot of his teammates in Brazil and here, everyone is treated very well. ”

A set of subtitles appeared below the TV in Italian, which was supposed to be Berlusconi's words.

"Berlusconi said about Ronaldinho, for Ronaldinho's transfer, the Milan club owner seems to be full of confidence, more confident than anyone that Berlusconi's words are similar to what Sacchi said the day before, in terms of player attitude, AC Milan has more advantages than Chelsea and Manchester City. If there is not much difference between the three parties in terms of bids, Ronaldinho will certainly be more likely to choose AC Milan. In addition, Inter Milan has withdrawn, and regarding the transfer of Ronaldinho, AC Milan may not be a competitor problem. They have strengths in this area, but their problems come from two other sources......"

"Because of this?" Jonk asked Mendez, who motioned for Jonk not to rush and continue watching the news.

"There are two main obstacles that prevent Ronaldio from joining AC Milan, one of which is the payment of the transfer fee. According to a generally accepted statement, AC Milan's offer is 40 million euros, and according to FIFA's regulations on the transfer protection of players over 28 years old, AC Milan can actually buy Ronaldinho for 36 million euros, and paying 40 million is already a very moral act. However, "Milan News" revealed that Barcelona did not approve the offer of 40 million, and they believe that with Ronaldinho's competitive form and influence, at least 50 million will be needed to take him away. ”

Another obstacle to the transfer is Ronaldinho's annual salary. Back in the summer of 2006, when AC Milan played Ronaldinho's idea, the issue of paying the Brazilian's annual salary seemed to have been resolved at that time. AC Milan relinquished Ronaldinho's image rights – Milan News estimated it was worth €15 million, while Ronaldinho will receive an annual salary of €6 million after tax. But two years later, Kaka's annual salary has risen to 9 million euros. Even if Ronaldinho is willing to accept an annual salary of 6 million euros, it may be difficult for his agent team to condescend to Kaka......

Now, these two conunanguities seem to be moving in the direction of Ronaldinho's transfer once again in the mode of falling into a soap opera. Ronaldinho's brother Assi's statement in the interview at the beginning of the interview seems to have actually hinted at the direction of the soap opera, as Assis announced that Ronaldinho is still likely to play for Barcelona next season after falling out with Barcelona. Speaking to Spain's Footballer of the Year, Assis said: "Ronaldinho's contract with Barcelona didn't expire until 2010 and I didn't look for other options. ”

But there is another question that has not been said. Jonk is likely to be another bargaining chip in this transfer, not because of anything else, but probably a ferment of the previous Barbara incident.

Mendez turned off the television. Turning his head, he asked Jonker, "Now, what do you understand?" ”

"According to this news, is Milan going to take a cut from my salary and use it to pay Ronaldinho." Jonk said with an unhappy face, well, the contract has not been renewed yet. Jonk will subconsciously keep his salary above six million euros for the time being.

Mendes shook his head, "No, it's probably not because of that. It has never been said that if one player wants a raise, he can't give another one a raise. ”

"What's that?" Jonk asked, he didn't see things as thoroughly as Mendes.

"The biggest possibility, Milan FC thinks. If Ronaldinho joins. Well......" Mendez said.

"So—my importance is dispensable?" Jonk cut off Mendez's words and said with a sneer.

"No, things are not as strict as you say, it is certainly impossible for the club not to know your importance, it's just that the addition of Ronaldinho is bound to give them more confidence, and this confidence can be a signal. That is, they are not afraid of losing you. With Ronaldinho and Kaka. This is already a theoretical super luxury combination. ”

"They're not afraid of losing me? Or is it because of the personal preference of the boss? ”

"No, I'm saying a signal that the Milan side will not give up on you, of course they know how important you are, and even if the club's top management thinks like this, the fans will not want to." Mendes is right, Jonk now has a high status in the hearts of Milan fans, and can even be compared to Kaka.

"Profiteers, or the kind that has no sincerity." Jonk muttered, "I want the horses to run, and I don't want the horses to graze." ”

"What?" Mendez asked.

"Nothing." Jonk shook his head and continued, "I can't figure out why the club would want to buy Ronaldinho. Jonk scratched his head, he really didn't think there was a place for Ronaldinho in the team, this is the truth, it's not that Jonk is arrogant, but in the current AC Milan team, the purchase of the midfielder is perfect, and the cooperation between Jonk and Kaka is very tacit, and because Jonk and Kaka have a good relationship in private, so, the question of who is the real core of Milan between Jonk and Kaka may be raised, maybe even if it erupts, it will not be too violent, and it will not have a traumatic impact on the team.

However, if Ronaldinho is coming, this balance is bound to be broken, and at that time, who is the real core of this AC Milan team, between Jonck, Kaka and Ronaldinho, will need to make a clear choice!

Therefore, Jonk is not interested in Ronaldinho's possible joining, which is also an improvement in strength, influence and vision, if it was two years ago, Jonk would have been very happy to be teammates with Ronaldinho, and if he didn't get it, he would have admired Ronaldinho very much and was willing to be a little brother. Now, naturally, this cannot happen.

In a forest, there is destined to be only one tiger, maybe two tigers who have been on good terms can maintain balance for the time being, but when a strange tiger also breaks in, this balance will be broken, and the following is the real competition and battle!

Mendes doesn't know how to answer Jonker's question, in fact, he is also puzzled by Berlusconi's insistence on bringing in Ronaldinho, in his opinion, if two years ago, Milan still needed Ronaldinho, now, Ronaldinho's state has declined a lot compared with two years ago, and the team has Jonker, Mendes really can't see where Milan still has Ronaldinho's position.

Unless.

So Mendes had to pay attention and rushed to Milan in person.

"Berlusconi is very upset with you." Mendez joked.

It's a joke, but it seems to be close to the truth.

The protagonist of the conversation between Jonk and Mendes, the Brazilian named Ronaldinho, is also in his home in Barcelona at the moment, looking out the window, but he can't see where his future lies.

Milan? It's really where Ronaldinho has always wanted to be, but, is it really for himself? Ronaldinho didn't know either.

He looked out the window, and it was gray. It's like his current situation in Barcelona is not bad, but his status is declining.

Porto Alegre, Brazil. Ronaldinho set out from this barren harbor until he conquered the world. At that time, every Barcelona person would have tears in their eyes at the mention of Ronaldinho, they would think that Ronaldinho was the best player in the world, and they would be proud of their team to have a world number one star like Ronaldinho.

However, this is before and now. Ronaldinho is no longer so important and indispensable in Barcelona.

Ronaldinho's position is left midfielder, which has always been a very important position for Barcelona fans, Ovimas and Rivaldo. Ronaldinho has also been at the top of the position, and he needs strong fitness and explosiveness in the last 40 meters. Therefore, it is easiest to identify the weaknesses and deficiencies of players in this position because they are so compelling. Especially for the current Ronaldinho.

On today's football field. There are two types of players who are most likely to lose fans, one is extremely talented but lacks fighting spirit, and the other is fighting but lacking in skills, Ronaldinho's skills can be said to be unmatched to this day, and his weakness is obviously his fighting spirit. Now, this view is generally acknowledged in the media.

After entering 2007, Barcelona began a major decline as a whole, and Laporta's goal of "seven crowns" put the whole team under great pressure after losing the Club World Cup. This turn of events is not a great deal for the nonchalant Ronaldinho. But it is precisely this casual personality that has been found by others to be the possibility of being a scapegoat.

Truth be told, Ronaldinho has not been inactive during this period. He continues his fantasy at the Camp Nou, and many of the fans will still applaud him.

However, in the locker room, Ronaldinho's situation began to become delicate, and many teammates felt that the media from all over the world made an interview appointment for Ronaldinho every day was too much, and they were particularly disdainful of him advertising to bring his mother and brother to appear together. The most critical thing is that Ronaldinho has become apathetic in the face of many Barcelona media doubts, always remaining silent before and after training, and ignoring his teammates.

As we all know, the 433 lineup needs the coordination of the whole team and the overall movement, but for a talented player like Ronaldinho, excess running must be a waste, Rijkaard initially acquiesced to Ronaldinho's "laziness", but now the situation has changed, Barcelona players no longer recognize Ronaldinho's specialness, and Barcelona fans gradually do not recognize. And Ronaldio faced this accusation, chose to confront, and then depressed.

From a superstar pampered by millions of Barcelona fans, the target of the media, to a person who is questioned and doubted, from being able to give a standing ovation to hearing a standing ovation from the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu to hearing boos at the Camp Nou, Barcelona fans around the world have witnessed the fall of Ronaldinho at the Camp Nou. For a professional player in his 20s, it was quite brutal and swift, and Ronaldinho began to look for fun outside of football, well, Ronaldinho began to appear more often in nightclubs. He also began to gain weight.

A year ago, Laporta was still shouting 'Ronaldinho will never be sold', until now, everyone knows that Ronaldinho is no longer for sale for Barcelona.

And in the eyes of the Spanish and especially the Catalan media, the expulsion of Ronaldinho was supported by Cruyff, who is regarded as the godfather of football by Catalonia.

And as time passed, Ronaldinho himself seemed to understand that his goals, his excellent performance, did not seem to help him change his fortunes at Camp Nou, so to speak, in the year of the 2006/2007 season, guided by a theme that "sending Ronaldinho away is more important than winning the league", Schuster and his Real Madrid had the last laugh.

In fact, things are much more complicated than that. Later, Ronaldinho confronted the whole of Barcelona, and the key came from the essential collision between Catalan culture and Brazilian culture.

From Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo to Ronaldinho, every Brazilian has reached the pinnacle of their careers, but it is precisely the interpretation of this beautiful achievement that is very different: is it Barcelona that created the 4R, or did the 4R make Barcelona the pinnacle?

Going back more than 30 years, Cruyff himself encountered such difficulties, and finally the Dutch became the son-in-law of Catalonia, spoke Catalan, and exchanged his limited submission for the eternal respect of a people. In addition to Rivaldo, Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho will not be like this, unlike Cruyff's new look, they have always cared more about the heartbeat of Brazilian fans. To put it bluntly, they never really considered themselves Catalans.

Catalans are xenophobic, Ronaldinho has said it, and he clearly knows what is causing his current situation, which is why the former world footballer of the year is determined to flee Barcelona.

And the new place he has found himself is Milan, and Ronaldinho hopes he can take off again in the fashion capital. (To be continued......)
