In Spain, in the office of the president of Barcelona Club, Guardiola is sitting opposite Laporta. His face does not show the slightest melancholy towards Laporta for selling Ronaldinho. On the contrary, there is a hint of 'accomplice' on his face.

"Uh... Mr. President, so you only plan to sell Ronaldinho for 40 million?" Guardiola looked at Laporta questioningly, and then said in confusion: "That's the biggest deal in the world.

A good attacking midfielder, with peak statistics of 20 goals in a single season, such a super attacking midfielder is only sold for 40 million? Why do we want to become a charity? Richard is like a homeless person who specializes in cheating charities!"

When Ronaldinho is in good condition, he is a genius who dominates the opponent's hinterland. He can dribble, pass, pass, and shoot. He can do everything. When he is in bad condition, he can also contribute to the team in free kicks or corner kicks.

Looking for opportunities, this is why Guardiola still leaves the position of attacking midfielder to Ronaldinho instead of Nasri. He needs Nasri to understand what Ronaldinho is doing.

Because Barcelona are used to his presence.

Now when Laporta puts a price tag on Ronaldinho of 40 million without saying hello, Guardiola is not angry, because he really doesn't need a player who is in poor condition and can only play free kicks and corner kicks.

An attacking midfielder who creates opportunities. The decline in the creativity of an attacking midfielder represents a team's collective weakness in offense. This is something Guardiola cannot accept. What he wants is a threat.

A formidable midfield master must at least have this potential. But the price Laporta bid for Ronaldinho was a bit unacceptable to him. In this era when the value of players has skyrocketed. Even Ronaldinho

No matter how sluggish Ronaldinho's condition is, he is still Ronaldinho. Burley once tried to get him with the release clause but was rejected, but now he is only sold for 40 million? Isn't this a joke?

Laporta took a sip of coffee helplessly and said: "Hey, we all know the current economic situation. If in 2006, Ronaldinho was robbed for a price of 60 million, it is different now! The U.S. subprime mortgage crisis

The huge shock caused by the financial crisis caused a global financial crisis. The violent fluctuations in the U.S. dollar market made everyone lose hope for the future. Which rich people

Will they offer a big price for Ronaldinho? Especially when his top weekly salary can overwhelm a club that can't breathe. Josep. We have already spent a fortune to buy Nasri this season.

Money, Nasri’s salary is also not low, you know what I mean? I mean it’s time to reduce our salary structure! This is the only reason why I sold Ronaldinho.”

Guardiola sighed. The global economic environment has led to a significant reduction in Barcelona Club membership fees. One in ten people has given up their Barcelona membership because they can no longer pay membership fees. In addition, last season,

Jaccard lost the La Liga title and failed to make an ideal name in the Champions League, resulting in a significant reduction in the club's income. All of this made Laporta feel the pressure.

"You can't just sell it for 40 million. Even Bastian Schweinsteiger sold it for 45 million this season. This proves that Richard is a person who is willing to pay big prices for players..."

"That's because Bayern does not need to sell Bastian Schweinsteiger to cash out! The overall environment of the Bundesliga ensures that Bayern will not be affected by the financial crisis, but we are different. We need to sell players to save salary space, so

Once we get there, we can comfortably keep Deco. Don’t you need such a combination? Deco, Xavi, Keita. This is what you told me, and I am using my own way to complete the integration of your lineup!"

In the historical 2007-2008 season, Deco joined Chelsea for 10 million euros, and Barcelona bought Yaya Toure as a replacement for 12 million. This transaction seemed a bit abnormal, selling a

players. After buying one

A player, but lost 2 million in transfer fees. This is not a reasonable deal, but in fact? Deco's annual salary when signing with Chelsea is as high as 6 million, while Yaya Toure's annual salary when joining Barcelona is still

Less than a third of Deco joining Chelsea.

In the general environment at that time, Laporta used the replacement method to leave nearly 4 million in annual salary space for Barcelona. The departure of Ronaldinho in the 2008-2009 season made Barcelona completely get rid of the high salary.

Players. At that time, Xavi, Messi, and Iniesta were all creating high efficiency for Barcelona with low salaries. This was Laporta's shrewdness.

Nowadays, Barcelona can no longer afford Yaya Toure, so Guardiola stopped the deal for Deco to join Chelsea. The only way to retain the player is to raise his salary, especially when Deco is not a Barcelona youth training player.

There is no such thing as loyalty, who gives more money?

It is the nature of players to follow whoever moves. It is a painful decision to raise Deco's salary in the context of the financial crisis. To avoid this painful decision, Laporta's only way is to sell the high-paid players in the team, especially

It's players who are regressing, such as Ronaldinho.

From a business perspective, this is understandable, but from a competitive perspective, it is normal that Guardiola cannot accept it.

Guardiola stood in front of the window with some melancholy. He was originally thinking of some words that could make Laporta change his mind, but he saw Di Natale having an intimate conversation with a man in a suit on the training ground...

"Mr. President, who have you made an appointment with?" Guardiola thought the man looked familiar.

Laporta responded: "Richard."

"today??!!"

"That's right."

"Okay, I'm going to lead the players to train. Mr. Chairman, I want to remind you that no matter how eloquent Richard is, don't lower the price. This price is already very low."

Laporta watched Guardiola leave and smiled helplessly. He wanted to raise the price. Unfortunately, there is no club in football today that competes with Barcelona. How can he raise this price?

It is no longer possible for Serie A teams to pay high prices for players. Except for Bayern, no one in the Bundesliga can afford Ronaldinho. The Manchester United coach is still lying in the hospital. Chelsea fired Grant.

After hiring world champion coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, the first player the Brazilian coach bought turned out to be Portuguese right back Bosingwa.

Liverpool's Benitez has moved Gerrard to the attacking midfielder position because they are tight on the Brazilian Lucas. Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas can occupy the attacking midfielder position in the central midfielder position. Besides,

It is impossible for Wenger to spend such a large amount of money to buy Ronaldinho. Unless Ronaldinho's worth drops to less than 10 million, it is simply impossible.

It's not that Laporta didn't consider the Brazilian's value before setting a price for Ronaldinho. When these practical issues were placed in front of him, any consideration was in vain, because Burley had no competitors at all, and

Barcelona is eager to lose Ronaldinho's high salary...

When, when, when.

The knock on the door brought Laporta back to reality from his meditation. When he said: "e-in.", Richard's figure appeared at the door.

"Hello, Mr. Laporta, to show my sincerity, I came to Spain."

Laporta looked at Richard and said: "Okay, how about we get straight to the point? After we finish talking about the business, we can go have a few drinks."

"Do you want to use the money I spent to buy Ronaldinho to treat me to a drink? Let's forget it... I always feel like you borrowed money from me and then treated me to dinner after you got the money to thank me.

"

"Okay." Laporta said noncommittally: "So, Ronaldinho, 40 million, what do you think?"

Richard sat across from Laporta and said, "Not very good."

"Mr. Laporta, uh, what's the price for Di Natale? Burley's forwards have been a bit weak recently. If you are willing to sell Di Natale to me for 40 million, we can sign a contract now."

What!

Laporta was stunned. He would never sell Di Natale. Because Di Natale's statistics are much better than Eto'o, and fans also prefer the Italian to Eto'o who trained in Real Madrid's youth training.

.For Di Natale, Laporta is even willing to sell Eto'o next season.

Of course, this is just an idea. Now Eto'o and Di Natale are the two evil men on the front line of Barcelona Club. Eto'o has impact and speed, and Di Natale has the consciousness to grab points. The two of them cooperate.

It's so perfect that Laporta won't sell Di Natale no matter how much he pays.

"That's impossible, Mr. Richard, you have to know that it's hard to recover after overturning the water. Di Natale is very happy in Barcelona."

Richard nodded and said: "Then let's continue talking about Ronaldinho. Mr. Laporta, I think you should treat Ronaldinho as a

Sell ​​it to me at a price that is easy for people to accept. This is not a threat, certainly not. First of all, I think Barcelona will definitely buy players from Burley and join Barcelona.

Then Nasri got two assists in his first La Liga game, right? Di Natale is the top scorer in La Liga, right? Mr. Laporta, are you sure you will not be in Barcelona?

Do you think of me when you are short of players at a certain position? Or do you hope that next time you call me and tell me who you are interested in, I will directly quote you 100 million?"

"Mr. Laporta, Burley's biggest advantage is that we have one of the world's first-class youth training centers, the Meulensteen training base! Oh, by the way, I heard that the scouts from your club secretly

We contacted Neymar, but unfortunately, he was rejected, but fortunately, Mr. Laporta still has another opportunity to repair the relationship between us, such as lowering Ronaldinho's transfer fee... This

It is a benefit society, so I will naturally give Barcelona Club a big benefit. For example, in the next Barcelona presidential election, I can

To support Mr. Laporta's re-election by selling a superstar that Barcelona needs for an expensive club. Once Mr. Laporta is re-elected, we are willing to give priority to the purchase of Burley players at the same price.

Barcelona's offer, a week later

Finally, how about the same quote from another company? This is all my sincerity, Mr. Laporta." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
