Chapter 549 A big deal

"This young man is a little interesting." After returning to the hotel, Jessica said to Xiao Ming with a smile.

"Well, a very smart young man, and he is ambitious and motivated." Xiao Ming nodded: "It should have been a chance encounter at the beginning, and then he recognized me and began to show himself in front of me... position, ability, talent... Although it was very hasty, what he wanted to express had basically been expressed. At least, he had left an impression in my mind. Even if I just took a sentence before observing the World Scouts, the possibility of his entry into our sight will increase countless times. Although the Major League of America is well developed now, not every young person has the opportunity to enter the circle of professional football. Only in Europe can young people of all levels be able to use football to maintain their lives."

"So you've noticed it." Jessica laughed: "So are you going to give this young man a chance?"

"Why not give it? It's not a mistake for players to have ambition." Xiao Ming shrugged: "And looking at this little guy, he is also a good material for defenders. There are so many players in Leiden East youth team, and I don't care about one more... As long as he has the ability, our scouts should not miss his performance, and... I can also see if my scouts have such good vision in digging young players and really try their best."

In fact, after leaving the bar, Xiao Ming had already remembered who this little guy named Subotic was.

Although he represented the American junior team in the World Cup, Subotic finally represented his motherland Sevilla in the World Cup for 10 years. In that World Cup, he only started and played a full game, but that game was Sevilla's only victory in the World Cup - they defeated the championship-winning favorite Germany and made an upset. Unfortunately, the failure against Ghana and Australia allowed them to be eliminated from the group stage, while Subotic's performance was quite good.

Such a player is a figure like awl, and even if he is put in a bag, he will soon stand out. In history, he has just played in Mainz in the Bundesliga for one season and immediately transferred to Dortmund and became the hottest young defender in the Bundesliga. If Leiden Oriental scouts did not notice such an outstanding player, then either they were not at the same level or they were passively lazy.

Time soon reached July 10th. After the transfer market opened before, Leiden Oriental and Inter Milan clubs also announced that Leiden Oriental's Portuguese midfielder Figo transferred to Inter Milan for 8 million pounds, about 12 million euros. Although it was a big gap from the world's number one five years ago, as a veteran, such a net worth is enough to prove his status in the world football world.

At the same time, Figo himself also issued a statement, that is, he broke up with Leiden Oriental in a friendly manner. He has felt tired of the increasingly fierce and tight schedule in the English League. He will always miss his five years in Leiden Oriental.

Leiden Oriental Club also announced that Leiden Oriental people will always remember the outstanding contributions made by Figo to Leiden Oriental in the past five years, and at the same time, I wish Figo to have a good and outstanding performance in Italy.

Leiden Oriental fans feel regretful about this transfer, but they also accepted the result. After all, since last season, Figo's playing time has shrunk significantly compared to previous seasons, not to mention that Ronaldo's outstanding performance has also prevented Leiden Oriental from being affected too much in this position.

In addition, Phillips also left Leiden East, while the two veterans Holland and Hypia stayed. They were unwilling to leave Leiden East. Even if they were playing as a substitute, Xiao Ming would naturally not force them to transfer.

On the contrary, Sean Davis proposed a transfer. Last year, he had some opportunities to play at the beginning of the season. After Mascherano started playing and Marclayle recovered, he had almost no chance to play. For a player like him who plays properly, he was unwilling to continue wasting his years on the bench. In the end, Tottenham, which has a good relationship with Leiden Oriental, introduced him. The transfer fee was 5 million pounds. Compared with last season, his net worth increased by 2 million. Leiden Oriental made a profit in this deal.

This is also the time when Leiden Oriental's pre-season training camp began. They went directly to Los Angeles to gather, and then returned to London to adapt to the new stadium. At that time, the stadium will have a grand launch ceremony, and a friendly match between the active Leiden Oriental players and the players who have left Leiden Oriental have been arranged as the opening match of the new stadium.

This season, Xiao Ming doesn't plan to buy anyone in the transfer market. There are enough players in the first team who can play the main players. Even if one Figo leaves, there will be fierce competition in the new season - Figo leaves, and the one who can play the main players in the midfield is nothing more than eight to seven - none of them are fuel-efficient.

After more than a month of rest, none of the players from Leiden Oriental were late for training - this was also Leiden Oriental's habit. No matter who he was in a place where strict disciplines were followed, he would always become disciplined, even the two Ronaldos were the same.

Of course, there were also members of the coaching staff who gathered with the team, but what surprised Xiao Ming was that Hilton also came to the United States at this time.

"Why, do you want to go to Las Vegas for a trip? That way, you have to come early, and I can still play with you."

Hilton came to Los Angeles the day after the team gathered, and he found Xiao Ming immediately. After Xiao Ming saw him, he joked, but soon Hilton's grim expression made him know that things might be more serious.

"Is there anything wrong?" Xiao Ming asked Hilton into his room.

"Barcelona sent us a letter, hoping to introduce Ronaldinho." This was Hilton's first sentence after seeing Xiao Ming.

After hearing this, Xiao Ming's expression did not change much. He stood up, took out a box of cigars, threw one for Hilton, then lit the cigar himself, spit out two smoke rings before laughing: "They will introduce it if they want to? With Ronaldo's performance last season, the World Footballer this winter is probably his. Can they buy such a player if they want to? Even if we have a good relationship with Barcelona, ​​we will not transfer such a player."

Hilton nodded. Not to mention 60 million pounds, even 50 million pounds is close to a sky-high price. If a player can sell this price, no one will say anything. Isn’t you going to buy Ronaldo in Barcelona? Just spend money. Our price has been raised, and you must also show your sincerity.

Moreover, this price should not exceed the bottom line of Ronaldo and his agent, and the player's value is also a symbol of identity and status.

"Also, don't fly back to London to talk to them... If you want people in Barcelona, ​​come to the United States. Ronaldo is here, so it's easier to talk about anything." Xiao Ming finally told Hilton.

Obviously, Barcelona is very sincere. They won the league championship last season, but they struggled. Etoo and Juli performed very well, but they did not have a player with weight on the left. Rijcard also called Ronaldinho and swore that if Ronaldinho won, then there will be great hope for the championship next season not only the league champion, but the Champions League champion.

For Barcelona's chairman Laporta, Barcelona has gradually recovered its vitality in the first two seasons. Now it is time to achieve glory. If you want to achieve glory, you will inevitably have superstar players. However, there are not many players who can be called superstars these days, and only Ronaldo can buy them.

First, Leiden Oriental and Barcelona have always had a good relationship - Leiden Oriental helped Barcelona in Figo's transfer, and also took a lot of advantages. At the same time, the clubs of both sides have had great exchanges in youth training. Second, Ronaldo performed well last season and was worth enough. After Jin Claze recovered from injury, he is no longer an indispensable player of Leiden Oriental. Third, as a member of the "3r" in the 2002 World Cup, only Ronaldo has not played for Barcelona, ​​and Brazilian players should be more adaptable in Spain - Last season, Ronaldo has said several times that he doesn't like the humid weather in London. Fourth, after two seasons of sorting, Barcelona's economy has recovered a lot, and even if it's a lot of money, they can pay it out.

But when Laporta came to Los Angeles, she was still shocked by the price offered by Leiden East - 60 million pounds!

However, after seeing Leiden Oriental bid, Laporta was also secretly happy. After all, Leiden Oriental did not offer a sky-high price that people knew at a glance, and did not say that Ronaldo is a "not selling product". Although 60 million pounds are a lot, it is a price after all. For players of age and level like Ronaldo, it is the most common thing to have a price but not a market. If you want to buy a player, you are never afraid of it.

The negotiators from Laporta came to tug-of-war with Hilton for three days, and Hilton only gave in 5 million pounds. Although the negotiations were very difficult, Leiden Oriental bargaining with Barcelona itself shows that Leiden Oriental is already prepared to sell Ronaldo.

As long as both sides have an intention, it's easy to deal with - it's better than Chelsea? Just a while ago, Chelsea had to pay 30 million pounds to buy Cole, and Leiden Oriental immediately put it back with a sentence of "Cole is not a product". For Leiden Oriental, there is no problem selling older and less important players to domestic opponents. Those important players are either sold to teams outside the league or not - Manchester United has always done this, and the same is true for Arsenal.

Laporta knew that the transfer of a player of Ronaldo must be very long, but Laporta couldn't wait. Before coming to the United States, Rijcard told him that Ronaldo is now a fully mature superstar player, and a player who can allow giants like Barcelona to play around him. What a transfer of such a player needs to be finalized quickly. The earlier he meets with the team, the shorter his running-in period and the better Barcelona's performance will be.

For the presidents of clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid, money has never been something they need to think too much about - no matter how rich Xiao Ming is, even if Morati is willing to pay for victory, they still have to think about whether it is worth it when they take out a huge amount of money - because they pay their money! But Florentino and Laporta don't need to think so much about it, because they never spend their own money, and they don't need to be responsible for the members' wallets. They only need to be responsible for the team's performance. If the results are good, their position will be as stable as Mount Tai.

It is precisely because of this that Laporta needs to take Ronaldo as soon as possible. The better Barcelona's performance is, the longer he will stay in the position of Barcelona's president.

It was also because Xiao Ming knew this that he boldly offered such a large transfer fee, and he was not afraid of scaring Laporta away directly.

Besides, for Xiao Ming, selling Xiao Luo is nothing.

Selling a player at the peak of his state is a way to maximize his value. According to Xiao Ming's understanding, Ronaldo's performance can be said to have reached a peak between the 2002 World Cup and the 2006 World Cup. At that time, he was the best player in the world. After the 2006 World Cup, he began to gradually decline. Although there are still many amazing moves, he no longer has the same continuous performance. Selling Ronaldo at this time is the best time, because Ronaldo did not perform well in the 2006 World Cup.

What's more, as Hilton said, Leiden East does not lack players to replace Ronaldo. Whether it is Jin Klaze or Ronaldo, they can replace him - selling Ronaldo and getting a lot of cash will give Jin Klaze more opportunities to play, making this player destined to retire successfully in Leiden East easier, and giving Ronaldo more opportunities... Moreover, over the past year, Ronaldo has changed a lot. He has begun to need more and more personal performances at the top of his position, and at the same time he has become lazy in training - many South American players are like this, especially when Ronaldo can be said to have received all the honors, which is even more so.

If this is not the case, Xiao Ming may not want to sell Luo Xiao, but since Luo Xiao has shown signs of slowly falling, Xiao Ming will not be reluctant to give up on him.
