Chapter 1134 Unscrupulously digging people
Lin Yu, Zidane, and even Real Madrid Chairman Soros came to the scene to welcome Azpilicueta, which really gave the Spanish defender a lot of face.
In an interview with the media, Azpilicueta said: "I hope to succeed in Real Madrid! Thank you everyone for your support!"
Lin Yu smiled and put his arm around Azpilicueta's shoulders and said, "You can definitely do it. Here, you will find that you have the best teammates! If you have any trouble, just come to me!"
Zidane also smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have achieved success in the past few seasons, and we can still achieve success in the coming seasons, and you will be a member of this great team!"
Finally, Azpilicueta and Soros raised his No. 5 jersey in Real Madrid. This was the jersey left by Coentrao when he left. Today, it finally has an owner.
Soros's eyes showed excitement and joy. For him, being able to buy his favorite players into the team one by one and then form an invincible team may be better than those players struggling desperately on the court.
Even more exciting.
He feels like the God in football, controlling everything.
…
Afterwards, other Real Madrid players also expressed their welcome to Azpilicueta's joining.
Old captain Casillas, who is also the current second captain of the team, said: "Last season we almost welcomed Azpilicueta. He is undoubtedly an excellent player. His arrival can
Greatly enhance our defensive attributes."
David Luiz, who once partnered with Azpilicueta, also stood up and said: "I know his ability. This guy will definitely bring our team to the next level, especially defensively.
With him around, I always feel very at ease.”
And Ramos was even more direct: "I like this kid. His hard work has the same style as mine, and we have also cooperated with the national team, and there are no problems with our cooperation in the club."
Other teammates also expressed their welcome to Azpilicueta. Real Madrid is now such a group, united, positive and progressive!
Finally, Lin Yu patted Azpilicueta on the shoulder and smiled: "Although I have to thank Chelsea for selling you, I still have to say that they will definitely regret it. But when the time comes, they
No matter how much I spend, I won’t even think about poaching you back, including Karas.”
In fact, when they acquired Kalas, Chelsea's senior management asked to sign a buy-back contract, but Real Madrid refused. They did not need to train defenders for their competitors. In the end, they just added some money and did not sign a buy-back contract.
The tenet of Real Madrid is that even if something is rotten, it must be rotten in my hands. We will never give others a chance, even if it is a defective product, unless we ourselves want to sell it.
…
After solving the problems of central defenders and full-backs, Real Madrid's next goal is Casillas's successor. But Real Madrid is still not sure who has this qualification, so they hope to buy a reliable player.
Spectrum of rotation players.
After all, with Casillas' current physical condition, it is impossible to support three-line operations. In other words, Casillas will either play in the league or the Champions League. The rest will be handed over to the new goalkeeper, so this goalkeeper
You have to have a certain ability and you can use it after you buy it.
Finally, at Lin Yu's suggestion, a person's name appeared on Zidane's list-Mignolet!
This is also a Belgian goalkeeper, and he is not very old. He is in his best years as a goalkeeper.
In the transfer market, when it comes to Belgian goalkeepers, the first thing most people think of is Thibaut Courtois, but unfortunately, Chelsea will not let him go. They refuse to let him go, and there is no way to recruit him.
, then Mignolet becomes another option.
Goalkeeper Mignolet, who is currently playing for Liverpool, hopes to replace Courtois and become Belgium's first national goalkeeper, but he is helpless. Although Liverpool has risen, they still cannot win the league title and the Champions League. This makes him
It's very troubling that compared to Courtois, who already has a lot of honors, he seems a bit unknown.
But in fact, according to Lin Yu, Mignolet's ability is definitely not bad. If Liverpool had not had this goalkeeper to guard the goal, it is estimated that it would not have achieved such good results. Lin Yu has played against Mignolet many times.
There had been a head-on collision, and he knew this best.
Now that the target has been decided, the next step is the transfer fee. When Liverpool took away Mignolet from Sunderland, they paid 9 million pounds, so Real Madrid was also very generous this time, directly bidding 1,500 pounds.
million pounds.
Using this money to buy a goalkeeper is definitely a lot.
You know, although the prices of players in today's transfer market are inflated and they are highly speculated by giants such as Manchester City, Paris and Real Madrid, there are really not many players willing to pay big prices for the goalkeeper position.
In response to this, Liverpool directly rejected Mignolet, saying that Mignolet is not for sale by Liverpool and will never sell him.
They thought that Real Madrid would give up or the transfer fee would be too high, but they thought wrong. In the transfer market, sometimes some more insidious methods can be used, especially when the players themselves want to transfer.
situation.
So soon, news broke out in the media that Mignolet was dissatisfied with Liverpool coach Rogers. Regardless of whether these words were true or false, they affected the harmony within the Liverpool team. This move was very damaging, because some
Mignolet's words were actually a joke and he didn't take them seriously, but when they were exaggerated by the media, they would make people very angry.
For example, in his first season as coach of Liverpool, Rogers disliked his original wife because she was too ugly and old, and she got involved with his little secret.
Regarding this matter, Mignolet commented privately: "That is Rogers' personal freedom. He likes more beautiful ones. I can't say anything."
But after the sentence was re-rendered by the media, it became "Rogers loves the new and hates the old. He abandons his wife for a beautiful woman. He is simply a beast!"
Okay. Rogers is really popular now.
In private, he shouted angrily: "Sell! Sell!"
When he calmed down, he also thought that this might be instigated by someone, but it was too late. His angry words were quickly published in the newspapers, and became "Rogers decided to sell Mignolet at a low price due to personal grudges, and...
It means that he is not worthy of Liverpool, let alone Belgium’s first national goalkeeper, and he is far inferior to Courtois.”
People are emotional animals. When the media said this, Mignolet also became popular. At this time, Lin Yu stood up and said: "I have played against both goalkeepers. I have the right to speak. Mignolet
Better than Courtois."
He doesn't care if his words will offend Courtois. Courtois won't be his teammate anyway. Is there anything wrong with him supporting his future teammates?
After Lin Yu said these words, Raul also spoke immediately.
He also said that Mignolet definitely deserves to be Belgium's first national goalkeeper.
Soon, Mignolet's agent called Raul and asked just one sentence, "If he goes to Real Madrid, can he be the main player?"
Raul smiled and said: "The Champions League and Copa del Rey can be handed over to him!"
This has been discussed. Casillas is in charge of the league, and the new goalkeeper is in charge of the Champions League and Copa del Rey.
Later Raul added: "Casillas is old, but Mignolet is still young. His opportunities will only become more and more in the future!"
After receiving such an answer, Mignolet immediately expressed his willingness to join Real Madrid on his Twitter and asked the club to release him.
Mignolet's words really stirred up waves. Everyone knew how much Liverpool fans did not miss the old friendship. They once burned Suarez's jersey and insulted Suarez. They
He once burned Torres' jerseys and insulted Torres, but never cared about what contributions these people made to the team.
Such a fuss only strengthened Mignolet's idea of leaving.
With no other choice, the club's top management compromised. After analyzing the pros and cons, Real Madrid's transfer fee of 15 million pounds was actually the highest bidder. The other teams, at most, were Manchester City's 12 million pounds.
That's all. Of course, Liverpool couldn't sell their players to competitors, so they finally chose Real Madrid's offer.
Although I felt a little frustrated, the money I got was not in vain. If I had 15 million pounds, I could actually buy other players.
Through a series of means and money offensive, Real Madrid once again got the players it wanted. Again, there is really no player in the world that cannot be bought. It depends on whether you want to buy it or not.
In fact, even Courtois, even Neuer, and Real Madrid can buy them, but the problem is that if the investment is too large and it is a little beyond the means, then it is not cost-effective, so that's why we didn't do it.
…
After finalizing Mignolet's transfer, Raul has one last task left, which is to win Pogba!
Previously, Raul entrusted Zidane and Pogba to have a chat. With Zidane's status as head coach, Frenchman, and status as a football boss, Pogba felt that he was indeed highly valued by Real Madrid.
.
Zidane even told Pogba, "You went to Real Madrid to replace Xabi Alonso and Di Maria!"
This sentence is so well said, it makes Pogba feel as if he can beat two players by himself.
"The salary is definitely much higher than what you get at Juventus! And most importantly, we will let you get the coveted Champions League trophy!" Zidane said with the final word.
Pogba is tempted, and there's no way he won't be tempted.
The Spanish Serie A is currently the most successful league in the world. Although the Premier League always boasts that there are no underdogs in the Premier League, that was in the past. In recent seasons, it is simply ridiculous, because the entire Premier League can enter the Champions League.
Chelsea is the only team in the semi-finals, and the other teams were eliminated in the quarter-finals.
But looking at La Liga, three of the top four teams in the Champions League last season were from La Liga, and two of them even competed in the Champions League final.
Not only that, in the Europa League, Sevilla also successfully won the Europa League championship.
La Liga's points have exceeded those of the Premier League by many. Coupled with the fact that Lin Yu, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo, the three biggest superstars in the world, are all in La Liga, this makes La Liga the most watched league in the world.
Lin Yu is someone who has played in the Premier League. He feels that the Premier League is indeed fierce and more beautiful, but the biggest disadvantage of the Premier League is that it has lost its dominance in the Champions League. This is very troublesome. For a player like Pogba,
What he wants is the Champions League, he doesn't want to waste time in the Premier League.
What's more, the Premier League's competition system also makes many players very unhappy. The long and hard Christmas season, coupled with the FA Cup and League Cup, are really frustrating.
If players were given a choice, I believe many players would not choose a Premier League club if they could join a La Liga giant. After all, it would be too tiring and frustrating.
