Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 409

c400 Long time no see, halamadrid!

The contract renewal issue between Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid, which gave Mendes a huge headache, was cleverly and temporarily resolved by Li Ang.

It cannot be said that it has been completely resolved, because even if the two parties reach an intention to renew the contract, they will still need to conduct a new round of negotiations on the details.

But it is enough for Mendes to be able to temporarily persuade Ronaldo and stop him from wanting to leave Real Madrid and prove his worth again!

In this matter, Mendes absolutely wanted to make a rational and beneficial decision for Ronaldo, but he was also anxious this time and used the wrong method.

At least in Li Ang’s view, proving to Ronaldo that the right choice is often not as important as stating his position to him first, “You and I are absolutely on the same side.”

After having this basic point of unified position, it is better to try to show Ronaldo that a certain choice may be better, and it will be easier for him to accept it.

After all, as the old saying goes, people may have the wrong names, but they rarely have the wrong nicknames.

Lafayette privately called Ronaldo a paranoid, and fans in China gave Ronaldo the nickname “Ronaldo Three Years Old”, which reflects some of Ronaldo’s character traits.

The Portuguese superstar is very frank, and this frankness can be reflected in his private interactions with his teammates, as well as in his various controversial behaviors after his temper gets the better of him.

So whether it’s right or wrong, knowing that Ronaldo’s temper gets the best of him, he’s prone to offences, and some of them are so stubborn that they’re so confident. In this case, you can’t even talk to him about rationality and objectivity.

The clever thing about Li Ang’s success in persuading Ronaldo was that he made his position clear at the very beginning, instead of explaining the pros and cons of leaving Real Madrid to Ronaldo like Mendes did.

“I need you, buddy. A large part of the reason why I chose to return to Real Madrid so happily is because Real Madrid still has you. I want to play football with you. We are truly our own people!”

As soon as Li Ang said these words, Ronaldo immediately felt comfortable.

In his opinion, Li Ang is still the same Li Ang as before, and they are still close friends who can talk to each other about anything in private and trust each other.

Once his position was established, Li Ang then used the argument that his annual salary was not as good as Messi’s to win Ronaldo’s recognition.

In the end, it was natural to amplify the killing move and play the emotional card!

A large part of the reason why I came back was because of you, so now can you choose to consider staying because of me?

After such a sincere attempt to save him, Ronaldo’s heart will inevitably be shaken.

Because Li Ang does know him very well and knows that he values ​​personal relationships, is nostalgic and values ​​fans.

Li Ang tied himself up with Real Madrid fans to persuade Ronaldo to stay. Ronaldo really couldn’t resist such an ultimate move, and in the end he could only agree verbally.

In the final analysis, what Ronaldo wants is respect. He may have indeed made a mistake in this matter, but there is always room for detours.

As long as he can stabilize his temper first, Li Ang believes that with Lafayette’s methods and attitude, he can always find several solutions to continue to promote the contract renewal with Ronaldo.

What Li Ang himself said to Ronaldo not to seek a salary increase in the future is also true.

He never cared whether his salary would be a cap for a team.

He had this idea before when his own commercial value was not developed much. Now that his half-year endorsement income is several times his annual salary, he is naturally more open-minded.

It doesn’t matter to him whether he is the highest-paid player in the Real Madrid team with Cristiano Ronaldo, or whether his annual salary is half a head lower than Cristiano Ronaldo.

When the time comes that Lafayette will give him a sincere annual salary quotation, it will be ok, but in terms of image rights, Mendes will have to have a good discussion with Real Madrid’s senior management on his behalf…

After helping Mendes solve a big trouble, Li Ang was also mentally prepared to fly to London.

He chose to meet with Abramovich first. On Abramovich’s private yacht, Leon frankly told Abramovich in person that he wanted to return to Real Madrid.

Abramovich behaved quite calmly. After all, Mendes had told him about this matter a few days ago. He didn’t ask Li Ang the reason. He just patted Li Ang on the shoulder and sighed:

“Are you really not considering staying? You have achieved everything in London. It is difficult for Real Madrid to win the La Liga title now, but if you stay at Chelsea, you have a high chance of winning three consecutive Premier League titles.

And I will continue to invest heavily in the transfer market. Don’t listen to those speculative media reports. There is no problem with my capital chain. ”

Li Ang could feel Abu’s sincerity in retaining him.

He also likes the Mr. Chairman very much, but because of this, he is unwilling to say some polite words that avoid important matters.

“I have given everything for Chelsea, Mr. President, and we have won all the championships we can get in these three seasons, but please forgive me, I am eager to get more challenges, and Real Madrid is my home team. They need me now, and it’s hard for me to say no to Real Madrid. Please understand…”

After listening to Li Ang’s explanation, Abramovich’s eyes showed such bitterness.

Real Madrid. It is worthy of being the most powerful club in football.

Perhaps Abu would not believe Li Ang’s other words, but when Li Ang said that he could not refuse Real Madrid’s call, Abu also gave up his intention to continue to persuade Li Ang to stay.

After all, over the years, there have been too many transfer cases in football that illustrate Real Madrid’s fatal attraction to other powerful players.

Maybe the truth is hard to hear, but it is the truth.

When Real Madrid becomes interested in a player, their interest is a huge motivation for these players to actively move to Real Madrid.

Abu was very disappointed, but he still entertained Li Ang nicely on the yacht.

After the emotional card is played, it’s time to talk business.

No matter how much Abramovich likes Li Ang, he cannot easily give up Li Ang to Real Madrid because of their private friendship.

This is related to the face and status of Chelsea’s current giants.

In short, negotiations with Real Madrid are essential. In the end, Real Madrid must come up with a transfer plan that satisfies Chelsea.

However, these things are all the Chelsea management will have to worry about in the next month, and have nothing to do with Abramovich and Li Ang.

After the two had a candid exchange of opinions, at least on the surface, the transfer matter no longer affected their mood.

The next morning, Leon personally went to Mourinho’s residence in London to visit him.

But this time, Li Ang failed to persuade Mourinho quickly.

He stayed directly at Mourinho’s house for three full days!

During this period, many outside media that had gotten wind of the situation had begun to hype the transfer scandal between Li Ang and Real Madrid.

And with the help of a wall of shameless flattery and asking his wife to help him speak, Li Ang finally made Mourinho nod helplessly.

This was only after Chelsea had already settled Kante’s transfer in advance that Mourinho reluctantly agreed to Li Ang’s transfer request.

Even if Li Ang is not in the team next season, Chelsea will have Matic and Kante in the defensive midfielder position, Kroos in the central midfielder position, and De Bruyne who can retreat.

Salah, who has been working hard for two seasons, can also be directly promoted to the starting right winger.

At first glance, Chelsea’s strength will definitely be damaged after losing Li Ang, but the team’s main framework is still very complete, and the midfield configuration is still among the top in Europe.

But Mourinho just couldn’t bear to let Li Ang transfer and leave.

Most of this is caused by his personal feelings for Li Ang.

But it was precisely because of his deep personal relationship with Li Ang that the madman relented in the end.

He understood that Li Ang always had a burning desire to challenge deep in his heart.

This was an important reason why Li Ang chose to jump out of his comfort zone, leave Real Madrid and come to Chelsea to prove himself.

This is also an important reason why Li Ang now wants to return to Real Madrid and lead Real Madrid to the top of Europe.

Even though he insisted on disagreeing at first, Mourinho actually recognized and understood Li Ang’s decision in his heart.

No way, who makes him such a person who likes unknown challenges?

After dealing with the chairman and Mourinho one after another, Li Ang was relieved, and then he called the players of Chelsea’s first team one by one to tell them his intention to return to Real Madrid in this summer window.

The reactions of his teammates were all unanimous, and they did not understand the need to strengthen their efforts to retain him. Among them, De Bruyne was the most emotional.

Li Ang could only patiently explain over and over again why he wanted to return to Real Madrid.

Although everyone still felt it was sudden in the end, facing Li Ang’s honesty, they could only slowly accept the reality.

The media that previously reported the transfer rumors between Li Ang and Real Madrid have tasted the sweetness, because neither Li Ang nor Real Madrid came forward to clarify the scandal.

After seeing that Chelsea also remained silent, sports media from various countries reported on related topics one after another like hyenas seeing carrion, greedily biting the traffic!

Fans who were originally watching the European Cup were immediately attracted by this big transfer news.

Chelsea fans were naturally panicked. In the past few seasons, they had taken advantage of other teams in the summer window. How come they were stolen while watching the European Cup this summer?

Many Chelsea fans who are full of energy have already left messages on the official tweet, or directly went to hold signs outside the club’s administrative building to ask the club to issue a clarification statement.

But what disappoints them is that Chelsea Club officials still have not taken effective clarification measures.

The Meilingers, who didn’t take these transfer rumors seriously at first, but now see the situation developing more and more in favor of Real Madrid, are naturally ecstatic!

They have been shouting the slogan “Little Lion Goes Home” for several years. They really dream of seeing Li Ang wearing a Real Madrid jersey again!

In the past few seasons, even if there were slight transfer rumors, it was just the media seeking attention.

But now it seems that Real Madrid’s official attitude is ambiguous, and Chelsea’s official silence may really be paving the way for Li Ang’s return!

How much money it would cost to reintroduce the current Li Ang, and how heavy the salary price would be, these are not within the scope of the Meilingers’ consideration.

They just want to see the two clubs issue official announcements as soon as possible to confirm the fact that Li Ang successfully transferred to Real Madrid!

The other large number of neutral fans were watching and enjoying themselves.

For a while, even the news that Portugal and France would meet in this year’s European Cup final was suppressed by Li Ang’s big transfer!

On July 9, Li Ang appeared in the public eye for the first time as the transfer turmoil intensified.

He and his assistant drove to the Cobham training ground.

Some reporters said that he was undergoing personal special training, and some reporters said that he had cleared out his personal belongings in the locker room of the training base.

Various rumors came one after another, and the fans watching didn’t know which media to believe for a while.

However, Li Ang did not accept any interviews from any media until this time. He never spoke, and the media never dared to make a conclusion.

On the morning of July 10, Li Ang appeared again under the pursuit of reporters, but this time he was going to fly to Paris, France.

The final of the European Cup tonight will be held at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Paris, so Li Ang’s purpose of going to Paris at this time is self-evident.

When facing reporters’ questions that did not involve transfer rumors, Li Ang was still very easy to talk to.

He bluntly stated that he would cheer for Ronaldo, Pepe and Portugal tonight, and also said that Portugal would defeat France to win the championship of this European Cup.

“From the perspective of strength, there is no doubt that the French team is already the strongest national team in today’s football world, but football matches, especially cup-style football matches, have always been a hotbed of upsets.

I am more optimistic about Portugal, which has come a long way, because their defensive system is better honed, and their players are more determined and tenacious…”

Li Ang’s optimism has given many Portuguese and Real Madrid fans more confidence.

That night, the high-spirited Ronaldo led Portugal to challenge the host France team, which was much stronger than them.

The figures of Li Ang and Mendes sitting in the private room also attracted frequent attention from the live camera.

The final was quite intense. The French team pressed forward and attacked sharply. Portugal, as the weaker team, was also quite threatening when it played defense and counterattack.

Both teams had a lot of threatening opportunities in the first half, and the quality of the game seemed to be top-notch. At least the fans on the scene were quite satisfied.

Li Ang, sitting in the box, breathed a sigh of relief, because in his memory, the incident of Ronaldo being injured by Payet’s malicious foul did not happen.

Ronaldo is still fighting hard for Portugal on the field, and his presence is a constant spiritual support for the entire Portuguese team!

In the second half of the game, the two teams still showed their bayonets to each other, but the French team hit the goal post twice with two shots despite having the advantage, and failed to kill Portugal, but let the Portuguese drag the game into overtime.

In the overtime, Ronaldo was almost stared to death by the French defenders. As long as he got the ball, two or three French defenders would immediately double-team him.

But the French team’s caution at this time also became the fuse of their defense!

In the 108th minute of the game, Ronaldo took the ball with his back to the goal and attracted the attention of two players on the French defense line, and then knocked the ball horizontally to the top of the penalty area.

The substitute Portuguese center Ed withstood Koscielny’s defensive interference, stopped the ball and made a slight adjustment, then aimed at the lower left corner of the French team’s goal and shot hard!

Lori didn’t know if his teammates’ positions interfered with his vision of saving the ball. His reaction was really slow. When he saw the ball and made a save, it was too late!

Ed, the unknown Portuguese substitute center, was as powerful as Li Ang remembered, and he made the final decision!

Portugal’s dark horse finally overturned the powerful French team and won the first heavyweight championship trophy in their team’s history in Paris!

Li Ang did not disturb Ronaldo after the game. He sent a congratulatory text message to Ronaldo and left in a hurry.

The carnival that night belonged to Portugal and Ronaldo, the leader who supported Portugal’s difficult ten years!

And the next morning, just when the news of Portugal’s stunning victory had not faded, Real Madrid and Chelsea officials released a transfer announcement that shocked the football world at the same time!

Li Ang really chose to leave after Chelsea led the team to establish a dynasty. He returned to Real Madrid, which has not won a heavyweight championship trophy for three seasons, and returned to his mother team!

For a while, the news about Portugal’s first European Cup seemed to be dominated by Li Ang.

Fans eagerly scanned all the transfer information related to Li Ang.

Transfer amount, contract length, annual salary…

The fans were eager to know how generous the conditions Real Madrid offered to Li Ang, so that he was willing to return to the embarrassing Real Madrid at this critical juncture.

But Li Ang himself was the first to send greetings to Real Madrid fans:

“Long time no see, melingges, halamadrid!”
