Chapter 78 The Charming Madrid

Mark is indeed in a hesitant stage now, and another club has also sent an invitation to Mark. This club is Atletico Madrid from Spain, the third-ranked team in Spanish club history. Mark's impression of Atletico Madrid can be said to be very profound because they have a madman chairman.

The most glorious period in Atletico Madrid's history was the reign of Chairman Vicente Calderon, while the most eye-catching period in Atletico Madrid's history obviously belonged to Chairman Jesse Hill, an unscrupulous president, until his red and white heart stopped beating forever on the morning of May 9, 2004, and his influence on Atletico Madrid continued.

Born on March 12, 1933, Hill came from the bottom of society. Through speculative business, he gradually gained his own place in the real estate industry. With the development of his career, Hill established his political center of power in the southern harbor city of Marbella in the 1980s. In 1995, he even participated in the local elections and became the mayor of Marbella. This was the peak of his political career. It was also at this time that Atletico Madrid entered the most ups and downs in their history.

Hill became a member of Atletico Madrid club in 1981, and has been fanatical about Atletico Madrid's red and white shirts throughout his life. On June 26, 1987, Hill replaced the legacy of the old chairman Calderon and was elected as the chairman of Atletico Madrid, and began his 17-year career as Atletico Madrid. In 17 years, Atletico Madrid won three Copa del Rey and once La Liga championships, and also fell into the abyss of the second division.

"My heart will always belong to Atletico Madrid. I hope to go to heaven with Atletico Madrid's flag." This is Hill's voice. As a campaign promise, the first superstar he introduced after taking office was the Portuguese, known as the "flying pearl". However, this is just the beginning. During his long ruling career, Hill spent more than 126 million euros for Atletico Madrid and bought such as Kiko, Schuster, and Viere. Ri, famous stars such as Joninho, Simeone, Hassel Bayink. But Hill lacks a certain degree of patience. He has replaced 39 head coaches for the team, which has led to the team lacking long-term plans and formed tactical styles. And the players are often changed. Hill brought 141 players to Calderon Stadium, but he has not brought back the glory of 1996 to the red and white fans.

"You can't do anything to me. I hate you and despise you. You will pay the price in this industry!" Hill's remarks targeted the Spanish professional alliance, but it might as well expand his attitude to all the "victims of the regulations" in power institutions and society. As a red and white flag-resistant man, Hill never stopped his contempt and contempt for the slandered people, which is his signature style Under the leadership of such a chairman, Atletico Madrid ushered in the most ups and downs since its founding: it won the only Spanish "double champion" in history at the peak of Hill's political career, and it was Atletico Madrid's last glory so far. Since then, Hill was imprisoned for profit from the government's privileges in 1999, Atletico Madrid was relegated in the subsequent 2000-01 season and did not return to La Liga in 2002.

"Don't sell Calderon, don't sell nino (Fernando Torres)." This is Hill's last words left to the world. This controversial but still loved by Atletico Madrid has brought endless happiness and passion to Atletico Madrid, and his love for Atletico Madrid will not be forgotten. When people talk about this great team, it is always difficult to bypass this crazy and devout chairman, just like his "crazy words", they will always be missed and remembered.

However, what makes Atletico Madrid fans most confused is that after winning the championship, he believed that the youth team had no talent, and then announced the disbandment of Atletico Madrid youth team, forcing the youth team player Raul Gonzalez to have no choice but to join the Real Madrid youth team and become the most terrifying striker in the Real Madrid camp.

Now the chairman of Atletico Madrid is the former vice chairman and the second largest shareholder Serezo, while their major shareholder Mikel Angel Hill is the general manager, and the third largest shareholder is their vice chairman and finance director Avasolo.

Now he is Atletico Madrid's general manager Mikel Angel Hill, or Hill, who is Little Hill, is now in person to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. His purpose is to ask Ajax for the transfer intention of Mark.

Ajax is naturally also happy, eight million euros, one son is not enough to be missing. Atletico Madrid's rights have just been handed over, so they are all eager to do a big deal so that fans can cheer up their confidence. Originally, Hill was going to contact Mark in private, and then sign a naive agreement before negotiating with Ajax Club.

However, what Hill did not expect was that Mark's agent Momo actually rejected his negotiation proposal and asked him to negotiate with Ajax Club. Only after Ajax agreed to the transfer, Mark would negotiate a personal contract with Atletico Madrid.

This made Hill very curious. There are really few players in the football world who do not agree to discuss transfer contracts in private. Although Mark comes from the Ajax youth training team, such a person who does not serve his own loyalty to a club for his own selfish interests also makes people admire him.

Hill also asked about the price of Van der Fate. After all, Mark's fame is limited to the Netherlands. Although Mark is now known as the biggest discovery in the Eredivisie this season, he is just a new star, so Hill still has some concerns. Van der Fate is different. Van der Fate is famous throughout Europe with the name of a talented midfielder of the Eredivisie and a Cruyff man. He also participated in this just-concluded European Cup. If Van der Fate can be introduced, the club will definitely improve its reputation. The most important thing is to allow Atletico Madrid fans to see the club's ambitions.

Now the members of Madrid's board of directors are also preparing to make a big deal, spilling money in the transfer market continuously, and preparing to confront their city rival Real Madrid.

"Mark, has Atletico Madrid club found you and want you to join their team?" Van der Fate called Mark. Now Atletico Madrid general manager Hill has contacted him privately. Van der Fate believes that changing the environment is not a bad thing. After all, Ajax's competitiveness is very limited now, especially after being directly eliminated in the Champions League group stage last season, it made Van der Fate feel a little disappointed.

Ajax is about to become a transfer supermarket this season. Ibrahimovic has already transferred to Juventus, and Mark has also visited Dortmund in Germany. The two main players are about to leave. Van der Fate is confused about the future prospects of the club now. Although Ibrahimovic's departure is what Van der Fate wants to see, the one who replaced Ibrahimovic is Charles Thas, a member of the Greek champion who performed well in the European Cup. Van der Fate does not think that Charles Thas Thas is better than Ibrahimovic. The reason why he can perform well in the Greek team is entirely because the Greek coach Rehger's conservative tactics are very suitable for him, but Ajax is the representative of Dutch offensive football and it is impossible to create that conservative tactical style for him.

But there is another problem now. Atletico Madrid is only a League Cup team this season, and Ajax can participate in the Champions League with higher level, which is also the reason why Van der Fate has been unable to make a decision. But Van der Fate also knew that Ajax Club also accepted Atletico Madrid's offer for Mark, so he wanted to ask Mark's opinion. After all, having a good friend can join the team together will save loneliness, which is why some players like to join the club with more players in their country, because this will better adapt to the team.

"They haven't come to talk to me yet," Mark said truthfully, and then Mark asked curiously: "Raphael, has Atletico Madrid come to you to talk about the transfer?"

"That's right. They have contacted me privately and promised me the main position. They will also sell the Argentine midfielder Ibagasa to make a place for me. So I want to ask for your opinion. If we brothers are together, we will take care of you." Van der Fate said: "By the way, there is another thing. My wedding will be held in a month. You must attend at that time. Don't forget that you are my best man."

"So quickly, would it be too hurry?" Mark asked Van der Fate in surprise. Mark didn't expect Van der Fate to get the wedding silently, and it was so fast, how could he not surprise Mark?

"Actually, I have made plans for this long ago. I have been preparing since your celebration that day, but I have never proposed to Sylvia. During this holiday, I proposed to you directly and got everything done. I'm better, brother-in-law," Van der Fate said proudly.

"Awesome, awesome, I wish you all good luck. Raphael, I want to ask a very gossipy question." Mark asked embarrassedly on one end of the phone: "Did you make my sister's belly bigger and that's why you're so anxious?"

"Hahaha, Mark, you're really gossipy. I can tell you that Sylvia is not pregnant yet." Vanderfate couldn't help laughing when he heard Mark's gossip.

Not long after the two sides hung up the phone, Mark, Colos and Momo went to Madrid to Atletico Madrid for a field trip.

After getting off the plane, Mark boarded the capital of Spain, a country with the title of European Gate. Now Atletico Madrid teams have begun to gather because they are going to participate in the Toto Cup. This season, Atletico Madrid is going to participate in the International Toto Cup, just like Dortmund in Germany, so the teams gathered a little earlier.

Atletico Madrid has a good relationship with Chinese media. In 2003, a 15-year-old Chinese young player Meng Ye came to Atletico Madrid for three months for a trial, but it was just a trial. He returned to China three months later.

"Mark, welcome to accept our invitation to Madrid for a trial training. We will definitely let you see the style of an ambitious club." After seeing Mark, Hill quickly began to boast about his club.

Mark is naturally very clear about Atletico Madrid's history and achievements. Mark came here to see what the situation was like in Atletico Madrid in Spain.

When I came to Atletico Madrid, Mark naturally visited Calderon Stadium. Calderon Stadium was rated as the five-star stadium in Europe in 2003. This is the highest level. Anfield in Liverpool in the UK is the four-star stadium. So it can be seen that the specifications of Calderon Stadium are so high.

There is a stadium on the banks of the Manzanares River in the southwest of Madrid. The vicentecalderonstadium, where Atletico Madrid won an Intercontinental Cup, 4 League Championship trophys, 6 Cup trophys and countless other glory; but it is also here that Atletico Madrid was demoted to Class II. The scene of thousands of fans holding lighters around the stadium that year will always become the pain and pride of Atletico Madrid fans!

The Vincent Calderon Stadium was originally called Manzanares Stadium, which was also named because it was located on the banks of the Manzanares River. In order to commemorate Atletico Madrid's greatest chairman, Mr. Vincent Calderon, in 1971, the fans changed the name of the stadium to Vincent Calderon Stadium.

After visiting Calderon Stadium, Mark came to Atletico Madrid's training base again. Now he has seen that many players have started to undergo restorative training, and only some of them have not yet arrived in time because the players participating in the European Cup have not yet arrived.

Mark met the Spanish golden boy Torres, a shy boy with freckles, who was working hard on the training ground to train.

Mark greeted many famous players, but due to language, Mark did not say a few more words to Atletico Madrid players, but Mark still felt the enthusiasm of these players. After all, these players are not very famous, otherwise the hardships of each club were eliminated by the club and then taken in by Atletico Madrid.

Even Torres, the biggest player of Atletico Madrid, is only about to turn 20, and is not much older than Mark, so it is easy for young people to have a good relationship.

After visiting the club, the rest of the matter was naturally to start talking about the details of the contract. Mark threw out Misfortune and then accompanied Kroos on the streets of Madrid.

Madrid is a city that is quite suitable for walking, from the Puerto Sol to Piazza de Sibiles, or from the Grand Plaza to the Royal Palace. Along the way are art, culture, treasures, and tourists gather to browse the monuments, world-renowned museums and enjoy nightlife. The Oriental Palace and the Painting Palace of Prado are world-famous art halls. The city's street parks have many fountains, and the squares have their own characteristics, such as: Pierce Pierce of Sol, Central Plaza, Plaza Spain, Columbus, etc. Bullfighting is a prestigious entertainment activity, and the Bindas Bullring is the largest scale.

The modern tall buildings in the city stand side by side with ancient buildings of different styles, shining with each other.

The magnificent Alcala Gate is located on the Independence Square on the streets of Alcala, with five arches, and is one of the famous ancient buildings in Madrid.

Located on both sides of Alcala Street, the Wang Family Academy of Fine Arts, built in 1752, contains masterpieces of Spanish art masters such as Murilo and Goya. The majestic Cervantes monument stands on the Spanish Square, with statues of Don Quixote and Sanco Panza in front of the monument. The huge body of the monument is reflected in the pool in front, and there are lush trees on both sides of the monument; the Spanish skyscraper, known as the "Madrid Tower", is located on one side of the monument.

The famous Plaza Mayor is located in the southwest of the city. It was built in 1617 and is in a rectangular shape.

The city also has a history that was built in the mid-18th century and the fighting achievements of the people.

Mark and Kolos lingered in these magical architectural styles and different groups of people, and Kolos, who was a model, was naturally a fashion follower. While browsing these buildings, Mark and Kolos were also frantically shopping in Madrid's most luxurious luxury jewelry store.
