Section 93 Party reactions
Many people say that one of the most critical reasons why Ronaldinho is not accepted by Cruyff and trusted by Laporta is that he comes from the Russell family, and he has a deep brotherhood for Russell. Who is Russell? A man who has never identified Cruyff as the soul of Barça, a man who is always ready to replace Laporta.
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 found for himself was Milan. Ronaldinho hopes he can take off again in the fashion capital.
In the two years from 2004 to 2006, we could really feel that Ronaldinho's mother, sister and brother, as well as the entire Catalan region, lived with a strong pride. Ronaldinho is like a new century Dalí (one of Barcelona's greatest artists), making one football masterpiece after another in his wandering.
However, that is in the past, and the current Ronaldinho is already a part of history for Barcelona, even though Ronaldinho is still a Barcelona player.
A Brazilian journalist once described Barcelona's indifference to the possibility of Ronaldinho, a one-time darling, leaving the city, saying, "I am still surprised and puzzled by my composure. You must know that when Cruyff left Barcelona, many people cried, and they cried. But right now. I accompanied a local Barcelona journalist to dinner, and when he talked about it, he said with certainty that Ronaldinho would definitely get out of Barcelona. While starting the car calmly. As we drove up Diagna Avenue -- we drove past the Camp Nou side, where a couple of Asian student-looking tourists lingered in the doorway, wearing the number 10 jersey with the lovely, heartbreaking and heart-wrenching name on top of the great number - Ronaldinho, and my eyes went from dazzling to a little wet. ”
Inside a suite on the fifteenth floor of the Queen Sofia Hotel, Ronaldinho's agent. That is, Ronaldinho's brother Assis had a brief meeting with Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who sued Sù Assis directly. Ronaldinho is no longer in Barcelona's future plans. ’
Assis said unceremoniously, "Ronaldinho's future is in Milan, I hope to get together and disperse, Barcelona (in terms of transfer fees) do not artificially put obstacles." This is exactly what Assis is thinking, if Barcelona are not too demanding on the transfer fee, then Assis can fight for more benefits for Ronaldinho in terms of salary.
That's it, while the outside world is still speculating whether Ronaldinho will leave Barcelona and where he will go, and what the future of the former world footballer will be, it seems that it has long been a foregone conclusion.
Jonker did not know that Ronaldinho had confirmed his arrival in Milan, and he was still communicating with Mendes. Discuss the personal treatment of the new covenant in which he renews.
Jonke said: "What about the annual salary?" My request is simple, my salary should match my status. ”
Mendes squinted at his player when he heard Jonker's words, and from the tone of his words, he knew that Jonk was angry, and the lad felt that he was not getting the respect and attention he deserved from the club.
Sure enough, Jonk then muttered, "Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, let the Brazilians score for them." ”
"If you're going to transfer, I can do that." Mendez immediately said with a smile.
Jonk immediately rolled his eyes, meaning, can't he talk angrily?
Although Jonk has no plans to move away from Milan, he still has a lot of goals and glory to strive for at this club. However, the club's attitude towards his new contract still made Jonk very unhappy, originally he didn't plan to make any excessive demands on the salary, after all, Jonk also knew that he was still young, and now was not the time to pursue money, but the attitude of the club's top management to favor one over the other made Jonk's mentality change.
He began to realize that if you don't fight for and maintain a certain tough stance, the other party will think you are a bully. It's not rude, that's the truth.
After learning about Jonker's new idea, Mendes also knew it, he sneered, and his mind was already brewing how to negotiate with the Milan club management. In this regard, Mendes is an expert, and in addition, his biggest asset is that Jonk is very sought-after, and no one wants to ask for it at all. And the Milan club is honestly inseparable from Jonker, the club knows the importance of Jonk, otherwise it would not have offered to give Jonk a raise, but it seems a little childish.
Now there is also the most critical question, that is, what is the attitude of the real boss Berlusconi, and Mendes will have to know at the negotiating table.
That same evening. AC Milan general manager Galliani received a call from Mendes, in which Mendes said. Not satisfied with the new contract offered by Milan to Jonker with an annual salary of five million euros.
However, Mendes did not make a new request, but hung up the phone in a hurry as if it were a routine briefing on the matter.
Galliani on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly, to be honest, of course he knew that the annual salary of five million euros would indeed not satisfy Jonker. However, this is what the big boss Silvio Berlusconi meant, and it is also the established course of the club for the future. That is, try to avoid giving players excessive salary increases, not too much, and besides, if it were not for Kaka's annual salary of nine million euros. Milan are intent on further capping players' wages. Imitate the NBA's salary cap system.
However, Galliani seems to have overlooked the fact that it is precisely because of Kaka's annual salary of nine million euros that it is the hidden danger that can really cause civil unrest in the dressing room of the Milan team, if there is no player in the team who can match Kaka, it is fine, there will be no chaos, but. Now, quite a few fans and the media are beginning to admit it. The importance of Jonk in the Milan team can be comparable to Kaka, and even more important than Kaka in some cases, so in the face of Kaka's annual salary of nine million euros, Jonker will definitely not be calm, and it would be strange if he could be satisfied with the new contract of five million euros proposed by the club.
Galliani thought about it and put aside the renewal of his contract with Jonk for the time being, well, this matter is a big deal, but it is not the most urgent thing, after all, Jonk only joined Milan last season, when it was a four-year contract, and now there are still three years of contract, although the renewal is necessary, but it is not urgent, according to Berlusconi's instructions, if Jonk can accept a new contract of five million euros, he can sign the renewal now, if he can't negotiate, he will put it on hold.
The players are on vacation, AC Milan coach Ancelotti has no time to rest, Galliani is not easy, although AC Milan won the Champions League just past season, but, it is not that Milan has no shortcomings and defects, in Ancelotti's view, the biggest flaw is in the team's backline, Nesta is old, Maldini can barely play, Favalli is also dying, Bonella is useless, Cafu has to retire in a year and leaves, Odor's state began to fluctuate, Kaladze is the old wounded number.
Carlo Ancelotti frowned, in his eyes, the team's backline could be described as riddled with holes.
That afternoon, Carlo Ancelotti took the time to squint after reading the report handed in by the scouts, and after thinking for a while, he was woken up from the bed by a phone call from the general manager of AC Milan club, Galliani.
"Carllo, I didn't bother you." Galliani asked. He knew that during the 'holidays', around this point, Ancelotti had a habit of sleeping.
"What do you say? Our General Manager Mr. Ancelotti joked, yawning as she spoke.
"Carllo, come to the office, let's meet." Galiani said.
"Huh?" Ancelotti was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll go over now." ”
Ancelotti knew that there was nothing particularly serious, and Galliani would not be in such a hurry to disturb his 'vacation', so he hurried to Galliani's personal office at the San Siro, where Ancelotti met the general manager of AC Milan, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
Galliani sat behind his desk, the expression on his face a little tangled.
"What's the matter?" Ancelotti asked straight to the point.
Galliani didn't answer directly, but called the secretary to bring two cups of coffee, stirred it with a coffee spoon, and didn't drink the coffee, so after more than ten seconds, Galliani spoke, "Carlo, you're busy." ”
"Huh?" Ancelotti asked suspiciously.
'Next season, the way the team plays, you may need to make another change. Galliani said with a smile.
"Why?" Ancelotti was puzzled for a while, could it be that the big boss who likes to point fingers is going to have some ideas?
"Guess what." Galliani said he had a good relationship with Carlo Ancelotti and often joked about it.
"This-" Ancelotti suddenly thought of something, "Ronaldinho? ”
"That's right!" Galliani said with a smile.
"Is it really coming?" Ancelotti hurriedly asked, "Sure?" ”
"It's not decided yet. However, there is an 80% chance that Barcelona can basically agree on the transfer fee. It remains for Ronaldinho's personal treatment. Galliani said.
Hearing Galliani say this, Ancelotti knew that unless something very unexpected happened, nothing could stop Ronaldinho from joining AC Milan, after all, Ronaldinho was inclined to join Milan. As long as an agreement is reached with Barcelona on the transfer fee, then the personal treatment will finally be agreed.
Hearing that Ronaldinho is almost certain to be coming. Carlo Ancelotti didn't look too happy, and in essence, Ancelotti wasn't so eager for Ronaldinho to join.
In Carlo Ancelotti's eyes, AC Milan is now in the squad. Pirlo, Seedorf, Kaka and Jonker. These four people are enough in the frontcourt, and I expect that the need for Ronaldinho is not so great! If two seasons ago, when Jonk didn't come to Milan, the team did need Ronaldinho, but now, the situation is different. Ronaldinho is here, how to arrange it?
It's certainly impossible to put on the bench. Players like Ronaldinho, since they have been bought, it is impossible to put them on the bench, without such a waste, which is different from Ronaldinho's situation in Barcelona, Barcelona is determined to sell Ronaldinho, naturally they will not mind putting Ronaldinho on the bench, Milan is not so luxurious.
But what should Ronaldinho's place on the pitch be? And how to arrange the team's tactics, in the frontcourt, who will be the core of the attack, whether it is Jonk or Kaka or Ronaldinho, this is a question, and it is a big question!
Originally, Kaka's father had already come to the club, and he was dissatisfied with Kaka's declining status in the team and the team seemed to rely more on Jonker, Ancelotti also received some instructions from Berlusconi, and Kaka will be given more trust next season, in Berlusconi's heart, Kaka is naturally more important than Jonke, Berlusconi once said that Kaka is the most perfect boy, and he is the son-in-law that everyone who has a daughter wants, which shows Berlusconi's liking for Kaka, in comparison, The perverse Jonker is naturally not so likable, and it is no surprise that Berlusconi likes Kaka.
In this way, it is very likely to have an impact on Junker's state, however, in Ancelotti's view, this is still controllable, but once Ronaldinho comes, this contradiction will expand, Jonker, Ronaldinho and Kaka are all players who can be the core of any team, and now in the same team, there must be a subordinate relationship, so, who will be willing to be behind?!
In fact, Ancelotti really wanted to say one sentence at this time, that is, 'This Ronaldinho, I don't want it, okay?' It's a pity that Ancelotti didn't dare to say this, in the Milan team, Berlusconi determined which player to sell and which player he liked to buy, Ancelotti could only obediently abide by it, and could not object, and even if it was opposed, it was invalid, En, this is the biggest pain of the sad meritorious coach.
Just when Ancelotti was still struggling with the sequelae that Ronaldinho might have caused after his arrival in the team, Galliani gave him another bombshell.
Galiani took a few documents from the drawer of his desk and placed them on his desk.
There were four faxes, one with the Manchester United logo, one with the Chelsea logo, and one with the Real Madrid logo, and the last one surprised Ancelotti to the surprise that it was from Bayern, the Bundesliga giants. Why is Ancelotti wondering, this is because Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid's Milan stars are definitely superstars, and when will Bayern in the Bundesliga be involved in the transfer of such stars?!
"These are all requests for the same players in our squad." Galiani said.
"Who's buying?" Ancelotti asked, "Let me guess, Kaka?" Or is it Pirlo? Or is it Jonk? ”
It's no wonder that Ancelotti mentioned the names of these three people, but these three people really made other giants blush, Kaka and Jonker needless to say, Kaka is in hot form, Jonk is now the most popular scorer in world football and the winner of the Golden Ball, and Pirlo is considered the most outstanding master of art in the entire Serie A, which has long been coveted by many giants for many years.
However, Ancelotti subconsciously thought. This is a desire to buy Kaka, and Real Madrid and Chelsea's pursuit of Kaka is well known to the world. It's just that I didn't expect Manchester United to join in. As for Bayern? It seems to have been directly ignored by Ancelotti.
Since the day Calderón ran for the presidency of Real Madrid, Kaka has been his gold medal for avoiding death. While Kaka is still an AC Milan man, Calderón has never given up on the Brazilian. Not long ago, Real Madrid officially issued a statement to completely abandon the introduction of Kaka, but soon, Calderón said in public that Kaka was his dream. According to reports in the Spanish media, Calderón will be on hand next Wednesday to watch a warm-up match for Brazil, and it is clear. In such a warm-up match that has nothing to do with Real Madrid and the Spanish team, the drunkard of the Real Madrid president cares about Kaka.
Marca newspaper is very certain that Calderón will likely travel to Milan to have a private meeting with AC Milan boss Silvio Berlusconi. The Rossoneri have been chasing Ramos recently. Calderón wanted to inform Berlusconi to dismiss the idea once and for all. Kaka's transfer was the focus of the meeting between the two. Calderón hoped to get some positive answers from Berlusconi. However, even the pro-Real Madrid newspaper "Marca" believes that Kaka is the banner figure of AC Milan, and Calderón's calculation may only fail to go one way. Capello had already advised Calderón: "Mr. President, please give up Kaka, he is the standard-bearer of AC Milan, and Berlusconi is not short of money, how can he sell Kaka?" ”
"It's for Jonk." Galiani said.
"Jonk?" Ancelotti was stunned.
It's true that he was buying Jonk. Real Madrid is still not giving up on Kaka, but. They are now in dire need of a reinforcement of their forward line. Raul vanney has been in impressive form this season, but both are in their thirties and have little left in their athletic careers. Among the substitute strikers, Saviola and Soldado have been in a slump, which has forced Real Madrid to think about the future. Not long ago, the newspaper "As" has been saying that Real Madrid intends to bring in 18-year-old Montenegrin talent - Jovedic.
Jovedic currently plays for Partizan Belgrade and scored 14 goals in the just-concluded season of the Serbian league. Jovedic's hat-trick in qualifying for the UEFA Cup also helped him make his Montenegro debut. At 1.85m, Jovidic is quite versatile, not only with excellent headers, but also with strong ball control with both feet. For this young fellow, Real Madrid general manager Mijatovic has already begun to play his brains.
Therefore, the media generally believes that Real Madrid are chasing Jovetic, which is why Ancelotti did not think that Real Madrid are the most likely to buy Jonker, although he also knows that Calderón has also expressed his appreciation and pursuit of Jonker.
Ancelotti picked up the four quotations and read them one by one.
Chelsea's offer is 50 million pounds, which is 13 million pounds more than AC Milan spent about 37 million pounds when they exchanged for Jonk last summer, which should be said to be a sky-high price, you know, at this time, the transfer fee record in world football is 53.6 million US dollars when Zidane transferred from Juventus to Real Madrid, and Chelsea's 50 million pounds offer will probably break the record held by Zidane.
The most important thing is that the Chelsea have a buyback clause but have to increase it!
"Russians are really rich." Ancelotti shook his head, unable to see whether it was anger or mockery, and after putting down the Chelsea offer, he glanced at Galliani, "It's just, is Jonker now only worth 50 million pounds?" ”
Galliani looked at Ancelotti, the general manager of AC Milan didn't say anything, he showed the four quotations to Ancelotti, just to hear Ancelotti's attitude, these four quotations, Galliani has seen them, in addition, Berlusconi has also seen them, Berlusconi's attitude is very vague, and he seems to be a little moved, but Galliani did not agree with the big boss, he did not agree to sell Jonck, and Galliani took these quotations to Ancelotti to see just to hear what Galliani meant.
If Galliani also does not agree to sell Jonker, then Galliani can unite with Ancelotti and make a proposal to Berlusconi. Although Carlo Ancelotti has always been weak, the manager and general manager of the team are against the sale of a player, and Berlusconi will definitely not take it lightly. (To be continued......)
