Chapter 423: Ronaldo's Battle (Part 1)

How does the so-called market hype start? Only with back and forth can it be hyped. Under the premeditated hype between Leiden Oriental and Nike, soon, the overwhelming news about Leiden Oriental's intention to introduce Ronaldo has already covered the entire European continent.

First of all, Ronaldo's agent Martins said in an interview that Leiden Oriental is an extremely desirable team, a team that any player is interested in joining. Then the topic changed - Ronnie himself would rather stay in Inter Milan. Now it depends on what Inter Milan should do. As for Real Madrid, it is also a desirable team, but "we have not had any contact with any club yet." When you come across this sentence, no one who has a little brain will believe it.

Then Inter Milan once again emphasized that Ronaldo is a non-selling product for the club and will stay in Inter Milan for at least a season. Leiden Oriental and Inter Milan have had a lot of exchanges in the market, but this transfer "doesn't exist at all."

But the more I said this, the more the fans felt that there was something wrong with this, because Real Madrid and Inter Milan initially said that there had been an agreement between G-14 long ago. If we don't poach each other, we would not do such a thing that would destroy the agreement. Then in a blink of an eye, Marca broke out the offer made by Real Madrid...

The facts are similar to what they thought. Just after Ronaldo and Inter Milan issued statements one after another, the "Leedon Oriental" immediately published a report saying that Leiden Oriental's chairman Xiao Ming had prepared a transfer fee of up to 50 million euros to introduce Ronaldo. Although this fee is not as good as Leiden Oriental's introduction of Figo two seasons ago and Zidane's transfer to Real Madrid last season, if it is really implemented, it will be the most influential and expensive transfer this summer.

The most expensive transfer in Europe before was England international Rio Ferdinand joined Manchester United from Leeds for 30 million pounds, and the most sensational transfer was that Rivaldo joined AC Milan freely after termination of the contract with Barcelona. In addition, there was not much storm in the European transfer market this year. The most sensational one is probably the big dark horse Senegal, two main players Diouf and Fadiga from Fadiga joined Liverpool and Inter Milan respectively. Another is Boca youth's midfielder Riquelme joined Barcelona to fill the vacancy of Rivaldo's departure. However, although the Boca youth performed extremely well, Riquelme was not even selected for the national team in the World Cup, and the transfer fee of 12 million is not very high. Although Barcelona fans shouted that they had found a new No. 10, it could not cause much sensation.

In fact, in history, several heavyweight transfers this summer were completed before the end of the transfer period. For example, Nesta switched to AC Milan, Inter Milan quickly bought Crespo and Cannavaro to fill the gap after losing Ronaldo and Nesta...

Xiao Ming does not want to buy Ronaldo before the transfer deadline, so when European sports media were in a turmoil, he had already secretly met with Ronaldo's agent Martins under the help of Lemlinger.

Martins wants to know how sincere Leiden Oriental and Xiao Ming want to introduce Ronaldo, and at the same time, they also need to know what kind of status Ronaldo is in Xiao Ming's mind, and whether he will play as a substitute at Leiden Oriental. At the same time, Ronaldo's treatment is also a part of interest to Martins. After all, Ronaldo's income means how much their agent's income is.

Xiao Ming didn't hide anything about this. His attitude was very clear: Leiden Oriental was not empty talk. A star like Ronaldo dreamed of any team. As long as Ronaldo was healthy, he was definitely an important part of Leiden Oriental's tactical system. Xiao Ming, who is the chairman and head coach, can guarantee that at the same time, he will not give Ronaldo any preferential treatment in the team's training, but he will not deliberately harsh him to maintain his authority, because Xiao Ming does not need to deliberately maintain his authority. At the same time, Leiden Oriental's medical facilities and coach training level are quite high, and they will specialize in

The goal is to formulate a reasonable and not excessive training plan for Ronaldo. As for income, Ronaldo's salary will be divided into two parts. One part is the club's maximum salary like Figo and others, with 4.5 million euros (Leyton Oriental's salary has increased again this season), and the other part is one million euros paid by Nike. Ronaldo's portrait rights are like other players. The club gets half of the individual. This part includes personal advertisements related to commercial games and club sponsors. As for sponsor income that is not related to the club, it is obtained by the players alone. Xiao Ming will not give in on this point. After all, when you arrive at Leidon Oriental, you have to do things according to Leidon Oriental's rules.

Martins has long been mentally prepared for this. Although Ronaldo's portrait rights were all owned by him when he was Inter Milan, Real Madrid's request was like Leiden Oriental, and the club-related sponsorship was half to half. After all, the club and the players are one, and no one can obtain portrait rights alone. Leiden Oriental also paid a little more salary than when he was Inter Milan, and Real Madrid will not give more contracts than this.

At the same time, Xiao Ming also put forward his own request, that is, you cannot be lazy in training, you cannot be late, and if you are late, you have to accept the team's fine. This is not specifically targeted at Ronaldo, because this is the tradition of Leiden Oriental. Even when Figo came to transfer, he was still fined by the club when he was late in training. As for private life off the court, there is no special target except that players who entered the team's roster must not drink or stay up late to revel in the day before the game starts.

After learning about Leiden Oriental's attitude, Martins quickly flew back to Rio de Janeiro and told Ronaldo about Leiden Oriental's treatment and conditions. Ronaldo was quite satisfied with this. After all, Leiden Oriental's salary level and treatment are already among the top players. Although European players' treatment is increasing every year, it has not reached a very excessive level. Before Abram and Manchester City's Arabs disrupted the situation, the major clubs were still very consistent in player income. Except for the sky-high price of Moratti was stunned and gave Recoba an annual salary of 7.5 million yuan (at this time, Recoba also offered to reduce the salary first to

In addition to 4 million euros, then halved again), generally speaking, the salary of 4.5 million euros is a benchmark for the current salary of top European players. Rivaldo won six million dollars in Barcelona, ​​and his salary after transferring to AC Milan was also reduced to 4.5 million euros like Shepchenko, Inzagi and Maldini. In addition to the chaotic transfer market in the past few years and a group of free transfer stars received annual salary of more than 5 million US dollars, the players' salaries are gradually in a relatively balanced state. 4.5 million euros are the annual salary of the top players, and have been recognized by most players and clubs.

The salary proposed by Leiden Oriental is already quite sincere, and it is indeed in line with Ronaldo's value. His expression on training attitude and other issues also made Ronaldo feel that Xiao Ming was not just perfunctory. At the same time, Leiden Oriental's outstanding performance in the past few seasons also made Ronaldo feel quite moved - this is a team that can always win honors. After going to this team, it may make his collective honor more brilliant - after spending so long in Europe, he has never won a top league championship, which really makes Ronaldo feel embarrassed.

After gaining Ronaldo's recognition, Martins rushed from Rio de Janeiro to Milan again. He wanted to express his attitude to Inter Milan. Now that he has another next home, his back is much harder.

For Morati, when he decided to keep Cooper, he actually knew that he might not be able to keep Ronaldo, so he had been contacting Lazio's Argentine scorer Crespo for this period of time to prepare to be a replacement after Ronaldo left. However, if Ronaldo does not leave, he would not introduce Crespo to make the forward line so bloated. So in fact, Morati was not interested in the personnel proposed by Real Madrid. Whether it was Morientes or Moutinho, Cooper had told him that it was not necessary. Therefore, he was also very annoyed that Real Madrid was unwilling to take out more cash to come.

If Ronaldo doesn't sell it, he will not be able to introduce Crespo. Real Madrid's delays have also hindered Inter Milan's actions in the transfer market. What makes him even more annoyed is that when Real Madrid wanted to introduce Zidane last season, he did not delay like he is now. More than 80 million euros were taken out...

After Leiden East announced its interest in Ronaldo, Real Madrid's obvious moves accelerated a lot, which made Moratti feel very happy. However, perhaps because of the fact that he was really out of money, the final request made by Real Madrid was only a total price of 45 million euros, of which 33 million were paid first, and the remaining 12 million were offset by a player during the winter break. This player is Argentine wing versatile Solari who is more optimistic about Cooper. If Solari cannot come at that time, then Real Madrid will make up for the difference within one year.

At this moment, Martins and Xiao Ming arrived in Milan almost one after another, and visited Moratti one after another.

24th Street Dulini, Inter Milan Club Headquarters.

"Hello, Xiao!" Morati hugged Xiao Ming enthusiastically, and through the transfer between Robbie Keane and Pirlo, and Leiden Oriental won the Champions League at the Meacha Stadium. Xiao Ming and Morati were already quite familiar with each other. After hugging Xiao Ming, Morati kissed Jessica who was following Xiao Ming.

"Mr. Morati, I'm here to visit, disturbing me... Jessica wants to take a look at the new fashions in Milan recently. I wonder if Mr. Morati can arrange someone to help me with this little favor?" Xiao Ming said to Morati with a smile.

"Just call me Massimo." Morati said with a smile: "No problem, let my wife accompany you. There seems to be a costume show today, and I believe Miss Alba will be very interested."

"Then I'll trouble you." Jessica also knew that Xiao Ming must have a serious conversation when he came to Milan this time, and that he was a little annoying. When he came to Milan, the fashion capital, if he didn't take a good look at the new fashion, it would be a waste of time to come to Milan.

After a while, in the president's office of the Inter Milan Club, the smile on Morati's face disappeared, while Xiao Ming looked at Morati seriously.

"Xiao, is Leiden Dongfang really interested in Ronnie?" Morati's voice was a little deeper.

"Massimo, you should know that if Ronnie had decided to leave Inter Milan, I would not have come to pry your corner...I don't want to pry my friend's corner." Xiao Ming shrugged: "But since I already know that Ronaldo will be pushed into the transfer market, then of course I hope to have such an excellent striker, and I don't want to make Real Madrid and Florentino too good, who made him want to poach my Marklele last year."

"You are really a vengeful guy." Moratti couldn't help laughing. Although Inter Milan and Real Madrid have always had a good relationship, if Xiao Ming wants to target Real Madrid, Moratti doesn't matter. First, Inter Milan and Leiden Oriental have a good relationship. Second, if Leiden Oriental takes action, no matter whether Ronaldo transfers to Real Madrid or Leiden Oriental in the end, his net worth will not be much lower. Only when someone grabs the price will be higher. Moratti naturally knows this truth.

After laughing for a while, Morati frowned again: "But in fact, I really don't want to sell Ronnie."

He sighed: "It's really hard for me to deal with now. Ronnie is very important to Inter Milan, but Cooper performed so well last season... Why did they have such a deep conflict... If a healthy Ronnie stayed, plus Bobo, under Cooper's leadership, we will likely restore the glory of the Greater Inter Milan era."

Xiao Ming shrugged: "There is no way. If the player has such a deep conflict with the coach, he can only send one of them away. Harmony in the locker room is more important than anything else. A team that is not united cannot win any honors."

"Yes, Leiden Oriental has always been very united, and there are no conflicts in the locker room, so you can get so many honors." Morati said with a sudden whim: "I would have been the chairman of Leiden Oriental, otherwise I really want to invite you to be the head coach of Inter Milan."

As soon as Morati said this, Xiao Ming was stunned. Although he had great confidence in himself, he also knew that he could achieve so many honors, in addition to some luck, his memories of later generations played a huge role. Such an outstanding team and so many talented players were accumulated through memories of later generations. When facing some strong enemies, Xiao Ming, who is familiar with their tactical playing style, could also make targeted arrangements based on their characteristics. If he was allowed to take charge of Inter Milan now, he might also be able to help Inter Milan win several championships by introducing some outstanding players from later generations. But what he knew was that if he had been the case, it would be impossible for him to lead Inter Milan to win the triple-champion like Mourinho...

Of course, Moratti's words are just a joke. Xiao Ming now has more money than him, and may be slightly inferior to his status, but it is not a coach that Inter Milan can hire.

After a few more words, the topic of both sides returned to the main topic. Morati also knew that Xiao Ming must now know that Ronaldo was determined to leave. For Morati, since Ronaldo was leaving, there was no difference between selling to Real Madrid and selling to Leiden Oriental. Although Leiden Oriental is not a member of G-14, its status is not worse than those rich families with a long history. Xiao Ming's appearance here means that he must have communicated with Ronaldo's agent in advance. Now it depends on whether Xiao Ming's conditions can be better than Real Madrid. No matter what, Morati is also a businessman and will not agree to the price of the price that is high and the price that is low.

What's more, Real Madrid's recent delays have indeed made Moratti very angry.

"I like to trade in business." Xiao Ming said a Chinese saying: "I don't like to delay and do anything within installments, so don't talk about it... Massimo, I have always like to be straightforward, just tell you directly. Introducing Ronnie, we have two plans. The first is cash, which will not be less than 50 million euros. Ronnie is worth this price. Now there will be no clubs in Europe that offer higher prices than this price. Real Madrid and Barcelona are not in good condition now. Manchester United will not have too much transfer funds to Ronaldo after buying Ferdinand. Needless to say, the Bundesliga teams, although Bayern is rich, they have never paid more than 40 million euros to buy a person. In the whole European club, no one can afford so much cash except me."

Xiao Ming said it very generously, but he is qualified to say such things. The Italian boss is rich, and both Berlusconi and the Agnelli family can afford the money, but Morati will never sell Ronaldo to them, otherwise the anger of the fans will probably target him. In the Premier League teams, there is no club that will pay so much money to buy people except Leiden Oriental. Leeds is about to go bankrupt, and Bates' Chelsea is also struggling to support it. Manchester United spent 30 million pounds on Ferdinand, and it is impossible to have more than 50 million pounds. The Edwards family is famously stingy. Arsenal is now about to build the stadium, and there is no extra money to operate. As for the Bundesliga team, as Xiao Ming said, they will not pay more than 40 million euros to buy a player, even the richest Bayern.

In addition to the four major leagues, will Ronaldo go to the Ligue 1 and the Eredivisie? What a joke?
