Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 378

c372 The first round of the Champions League knockout under the storm of public opinion

“Paranoid! A short-sighted guy! Does he think he can achieve what he has achieved today after leaving Real Madrid?! Does he know what he is doing now? Why did I choose to keep this Portuguese who keeps causing trouble? !God……”

It is very rare that there was no advance plan, but an emergency public relations meeting was held at short notice.

Florentino, the helmsman of Real Madrid’s galactic battleship, hurriedly returned to his private office in the club’s office building.

The moment the office door closed, he tore off the warm smile that hung on his face like a mask.

Real Madrid CEO Angel Sanchez, who was listening to Lafayette venting his anger, could only nod in agreement while constantly calming down Lafayette.

“You’re right. Chris is really a little ungrateful this time. He dared to come to you and force him to have a baby directly.”

“Forcing me to have a baby, huh… He almost said the words ‘no credibility’ to me! Who does he think he is?! What qualifications does he have to pressure me for a huge salary increase!”

“Yes…this is really outrageous! I will find time to talk to him later. He is like this sometimes, and you know his temper. In fact, it is not a big deal…”

“You think it’s not a big deal? But in his eyes, the difference in annual salary of several million euros from Messi is a big deal!

Angel, you don’t know Chris as well as I do. Now that he dares to bypass Mendes and ask me directly, it means that he has made the final decision in his heart. This is not the so-called negotiation, Angel. Hey, this is the ultimatum given to us by our ‘King at the Bernabeu’! ”

Listening to Lafayette’s confident words, the worried look in Sanchez’s eyes suddenly became intense.

“What do you mean?”

Florentino seemed to have gradually calmed down his emotions at this time.

He sat on the office chair, and the softness and hesitation in his eyes only existed for a moment. Then, he returned to his smiling face that seemed to always be calm, calm and confident.

“Don’t worry, I’ll wait for Mendes to come and explain to me in person…or have a showdown!”

Lafayette’s strong aura and confident principles of doing things prevented the entire Real Madrid management from panicking due to Ronaldo’s forced palace incident.

On the contrary, Mendes, who hurried to Madrid to personally explain to Lafayette on behalf of Cristiano Ronaldo, was completely at a disadvantage, without any trace of his former smoothness and calmness.

But Florentino did not embarrass Mendes.

The relationship between the two of them is quite good in private, and Real Madrid is also very happy to cooperate with many players under Mendes’ company.

There is no need to break off the good relationship between the two parties just because of an unexpected incident.

But the “mutual understanding” they had when they met was just superficial. Mendes clearly felt the anger in Lafayette’s heart this time!

He knew that he had to give an explanation to the head of football’s largest club.

So immediately after the meeting with Lafayette, he directly contacted Ronaldo, and the two met directly at Ronaldo’s home.

Any accusations at this time are unnecessary, because Ronaldo has clearly expressed his needs.

And looking at it from Ronaldo’s point of view, is he wrong? He is not wrong either!

Maybe his mistake was that he was too upright and took the verbal gentleman’s agreement between him and Lafayette too seriously. He really thought that he would get the highest annual salary in football after helping Real Madrid defend the Champions League.

Perhaps at some point in the past, Lafayette really seriously considered the possibility of fulfilling this promise.

But who made Barcelona’s top brass collectively use their wits to give Messi a huge salary increase that shocked the football world!

If Real Madrid matches Ronaldo with Messi’s highest annual salary in football at this time, Real Madrid’s reasonable salary structure will completely collapse. This is naturally the situation Lafayette least wants to see.

So both of them have their own reasons, and neither of them is willing to take a step back, so of course they can only lose in communication…

Mendes chatted with Ronaldo for a long time that night. There was no emotional venting. He just helped Ronaldo analyze the pros and cons of staying in Real Madrid and leaving Real Madrid from the perspective of Ronaldo’s personal interests.

No one knows to what extent they talked that night and whether they made a final decision.

Many Western media took photos of the meeting between Mendes and Real Madrid executives the next day.

And just after Mendes ended his second meeting with Florentino, Marca broke the big news that shocked the football world!

“Contract renewal negotiations broke down!” Portuguese superstar Xia Chuang may leave the Bernabeu! 》

When this news report came out, many Real Madrid fans only thought it was funny and didn’t take it to heart.

But as AS revealed more details of the meeting and conversation between Florentino and Mendes.

Especially after it was pointed out that Ronaldo’s request to match Messi’s annual salary was completely unaccepted by Real Madrid’s top brass, many Mellingers who had known about this before became a little panicked!

Because this is indeed a fact, and it is also a hidden danger buried in the hearts of many Real Madrid fans!

Not many media reported this matter before, because at that time everyone believed that Real Madrid and Ronaldo would eventually properly handle the salary increase.

But now that Marca and Aspen are coming in force, they seem confident that the negotiations between Real Madrid’s top management and Ronaldo’s management team have broken down, and Real Madrid fans can’t help but not believe it.

Many Real Madrid fans took decisive action, either leaving messages on the club’s official Twitter account to inquire about the truth of the incident, or going offline to the training base and the club’s gate to wait for news.

However, what they finally waited for was just a “rumor-busting” notice issued by Real Madrid.

A few words, a cold explanation, without more explanation, but it further confirmed the news and comments released by the Western media who were reveling in the public opinion field at the moment!

For a while, the heavyweight news that Ronaldo and Real Madrid are likely to part ways in this summer window quickly spread around the world!

With the influence of Ronaldo and Real Madrid in the world, such news has not only caused a major earthquake in the sports circles of various countries.

Everyone started to discuss this matter, even those who don’t understand football at all can talk about it with relish.

After the topic fermented quickly, many fans of other giants began to discuss the possibility that the team they supported would grab Ronaldo in the summer window.

The Portuguese superstar is only 31 years old now. He was the European Golden Boot winner last season. His personal strength is unbelievably strong!

Such a football nuclear weapon, when they are opponents at ordinary times, they would want to mock and degrade him into an ordinary star, as if he only achieved luxurious data by relying on Real Madrid’s packaging and the whole team’s feeding.

But to be honest, now there is a real chance to have such a phenomenal superstar, and the fans who used to criticize Ronaldo have to “really smell it”~

When the 2015-2016 season gradually entered the second half of the sprint stage, the news of Ronaldo and Real Madrid’s breakup completely overwhelmed all other football reports.

This is the case after a week, and it is still the case after two weeks!

The topic of Ronaldo has not diminished at all, and there have even been abstract behaviors on the Internet where fans of other giants have shown their love to Ronaldo in groups.

However, despite the noise in the public opinion field, Real Madrid on the field does not seem to be affected too much.

From January 30 to February 13, Real Madrid ushered in a wave of hearty three-game winning streak in the league. Ronaldo was in a hot state and scored 7 goals in these three games, and it seemed that he was not disturbed by the outside public opinion at all.

At this moment, the news that “the time is ripe for Li Ang to return to Real Madrid” has gradually emerged in the Premier League.

I don’t know if he and Ronaldo have agreed to explode together. Li Ang has also created six goals in the last three Premier League games!

He personally played a luxurious performance of four shots and two assists, helping the team beat Watford 4-1, 1-0 against Arsenal, and 3-0 against Newcastle, leading the team to win three consecutive Premier League victories in mid-to-early February!

However, in the fourth round of the FA Cup in early February, Chelsea, which was almost entirely composed of youth players, was defeated by Milton Keynes 2-1, ushering in the “first defeat” in February.

But now no British media cares about Chelsea giving up the domestic cup in England.

They are not even very interested in Chelsea’s recent three consecutive Premier League victories.

They now want to know what Li Ang thinks about Ronaldo’s high probability of leaving Real Madrid this summer.

And whether he has considered returning to Real Madrid after Ronaldo leaves the team, returning to his parent team where there are still a large number of fans supporting him!

No matter how Li Ang responds, as long as he answers such questions, the reporters will have a lot to write about!

No matter how many issues are published, it is a great traffic selling point!

However, Li Ang has obviously made enough psychological preparations, and he also has his own way to deal with these reporters who always want to make a big news.

“I’m very sorry for the rumors, because everyone knows what Chris means to Real Madrid fans.

My opinion is to continue to enjoy Real Madrid’s games. They are really a very strong and offensive team!”

“I may not know as much about the inside story of this rumor as you do. After all, I haven’t communicated with Chris and my other former Real Madrid teammates for more than a month since the FIFA Awards Ceremony.

In fact, I also want to know what misunderstandings have occurred here? So if you have first-hand information, please publish it as soon as possible. I will be happy to subscribe to your newspapers!”

After using similar words to block the reporters who “hunted” him several times and continue to ask questions, Li Ang finally had a lot of peace on the way to the training base and home.

However, the noise on the Internet still does not seem to have any momentum to calm down.

It was also under this situation that the European giants started their first Champions League knockout match of this season!

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, as the first two European giants to appear, naturally attracted the attention and expectations of many neutral fans.

In recent years, after the period of the rich just taking over and only looking at the name but not the reality when buying players, the current recruitment ideas of Paris Saint-Germain are becoming more and more professional and standardized.

Although the big money is still there, Paris Saint-Germain is also not soft in cleaning up some redundant so-called “stars”.

For example, a certain attacking midfielder has been constantly pressuring the top management of Paris Saint-Germain to raise his salary in the past two seasons.

As a result, as soon as the summer transfer window opened last year, Nasser directly sold this frequently injured guy at a discount to a Turkish team.

Faced with the choice of either going to the Turkish Super League or staying in Paris Saint-Germain and sitting on the bench, the attacking midfielder finally had to choose the former obediently.

In a way, this can be regarded as an early fulfillment of his wish to return to his hometown to play football.

It was because he was not able to teach him a lesson this time that Li Ang felt very unhappy!

Even his interest in beating Paris Saint-Germain, a traditional event, became somewhat dull.

However, no matter how much advantage he had in terms of hard power, it was the first Champions League knockout match of the new season, so Li Ang and his teammates were 100% spirited.

On the evening of February 16, under the lights of the Parc des Princes in Paris, the main players of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain all appeared on the stage!

Today’s main lineup of Paris Saint-Germain has undergone new changes. Compared with the previous two seasons, the current offense and defense of Paris Saint-Germain are more balanced, and its strength has steadily entered the top ranks of the European continent.

And with the detailed introduction of commentators from various countries, the starting players and formations of the two teams today were also revealed to the fans one by one:

The starting goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain is the new German national goalkeeper Trapp.

On the defensive line, David Luiz and Marquinhos, the strongest central defender combination in the entire French Ligue 1, are still escorting Paris Saint-Germain today.

On the left back is the experienced Maxwell, and on the right back is Van der Wiel.

In the midfield, the old defensive midfielder Motta is in the middle, and the left and right central midfielders are Matuidi and Verratti.

On the forward line, the new forward trident composed of Lucas Jr., Higuain and Di Maria has become the only choice for Paris Saint-Germain head coach Blanc.

After finally sending away the plague god 272 and digging Matuidi from Real Madrid, Blanc can finally let go and display his coaching philosophy.

The upgraded version of Paris Saint-Germain he created has achieved 23 wins and 3 draws in this season’s French Ligue 1, and is currently leading the second-placed Monaco by nearly 30 points!

A team that has achieved such data, even if it is squeezed out of the soft persimmon in the fifth league of Europe, has some explanation.

Before the game officially started, Li Ang stood on his own half with his hands on his hips and looked up, and saw several familiar faces at once.

Little Smoker, Angel, the first little brother Matuidi who was by his side, and David Luiz, the former atmosphere king in the Chelsea locker room.

They had fought side by side in different teams, but now they will be opponents of each other and fight on the field.

In an instant, Li Ang couldn’t help but think of the smile of his predecessor Belleron when he visited him many years ago and the other party comforted him to see the football transfer…

“Follow your path and have a clear conscience.”
