Chapter 494 I won’t let him retire!

Su Dong officially bids farewell to Barcelona!

The news spread around the world overnight.

Media all over the world are rushing to report and paying attention to the next move of Su Dong.

As the top active player in the world football, although Su Dong lost to Cannavaro in the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Footballer of the Year awards, his personal performance is worthy of his honor.

Not to mention the previous results, so far this season, he has scored 26 goals and made four assists in 16 La Liga games, scored 12 goals and made four assists in six Champions League group matches, plus the Spanish Super Cup and European Super Cup. Su Dong played in the best form of his career in the first half.

In its commentary, El País said that Sudon's performance in the first sixteen games might not be matched by anyone until the end of this season, because so far, the player with the most goals in the La Liga scorer list after Sudon is Kanoute from Sevilla, who has scored fourteen goals in sixteen games.

Van Nistelrooy has only scored nine goals so far, Diego Milito has also scored nine goals, and among the players listed by Barcelona as candidates to replace Sudon, David Villa has scored eight goals, while Forlan, Torres and Eto'o have only scored five goals each.

So much so that El País sarcastically mocked Rosell's statement, believing that in order to fill the gap in the Soviet Union, Barcelona must get the La Liga to change the rules of the game and allow them to field 14 players at once.

Why 14? "Barcelona bought all four candidates, David Villa, Forlan, Torres and Eto'o, at once. If they all play, they should be able to fill the gap in Su Dong."

"What? Three balls left?"

"Then buy three more Robinhos."

Because the new Bailey has only scored one goal so far.

This report in El País is full of emotion, and is full of sarcasm and ridicule towards the Barcelona management, which is rare.

But this report caused a great response in Spain. The vast majority of readers and fans believed that El País was right. Barcelona simply could not find a player to fill the vacancy left by Su Dongbo, even if they could really bring Henry from Arsenal.

Henry's performances have also declined this season, scoring just six goals so far.

El País believes that Sudon's departure from Barcelona is not only a loss for Barcelona, ​​but also a huge loss for La Liga.

"It is estimated that in the next few years, La Liga's rapid development in Asia will come to an end, and may even be surpassed by other leagues."

…

As if to confirm the report in El País, Barcelona subsequently went to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup, but was actually met with a cold reception.

Last year, thousands of fans came to the same airport to greet the team.

But when I came to Tokyo again this year, there were very few Barcelona fans welcoming me.

Among the few hundred people, many were still holding Su Dong's flags and shouting slogans. They seemed to be a group of Japanese fans who did not pay attention to the news and thought Su Dong was still in the Barcelona team.

This made Barcelona vice president Bartomeu, who led the team to participate in the Club World Cup, very embarrassed.

In an interview with Japanese media, Bartomeu repeatedly reiterated that Sudong had officially terminated his contract with Barcelona.

Compared with last year, Japanese fans' reaction to Barcelona's trip to the Club World Cup was quite cold. The difference is like heaven and earth, which can be seen from the attendance rate.

The number of fans entering the stadium to watch the game was less than one-third of last year's number.

Although Barcelona stated that this was a ticketing issue of the organizer, everyone can see that Barcelona's Club World Cup this year did not attract much attention, and even the Japanese business community's reaction to Barcelona was quite indifferent.

Some Spanish media went out of their way to interview Japanese business people, and the feedback they received was very negative. They believed that the way Barcelona treated the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in the past period of time made Japanese fans, and even the entire Asian region, very dissatisfied.

"As the first world-class superstar in Asian football history and a double Footballer of the Year, Su Dong has unparalleled influence in Asia. In the past, Barcelona was popular in Asia several times, all because of Su Dong. If Barcelona misjudged its influence, it would be a big mistake."

The cold reception in Asia was also reflected in the fact that several business collaborations that had been approached before eventually failed.

Even several business cooperation projects signed in the United States this summer have been temporarily shelved.

The reason is simple: the most influential selling point is gone.

Even the jersey sponsors have publicly criticized Barcelona's behavior and believe that they will re-evaluate their sponsorship of Barcelona.

In the Club World Cup in Japan, although Barcelona reached the final, they lost to Internacional 0-1 in the final, which caused an uproar in Spanish public opinion.

The Daily Sports commented that the management seriously underestimated Su Dong's influence and his tactical role.

"Su Dong's departure is a disaster for Barcelona!"

Real Madrid coach Capello took the opportunity to add insult to injury, saying that Sudong's departure gave Real Madrid hope of winning the league title again, and called on Real Madrid players to keep up the good work and reverse Barcelona to the top in the second half.

For a time, Barcelona seemed to be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

…………

Seibener Strasse, Munich, Germany.

When Beckenbauer walked into the conference room, the other two of the Big Three, Rummenigge and Hoeness, had already arrived.

The football emperor has a very high status in Bayern. When many people saw him, they wanted to stand up and greet him, but Beckenbauer waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down quickly.

In fact, many people have misunderstandings about Bayern Munich's management framework. They often say that Beckenbauer, Rummenigge and Hoeness are the Big Three of Bayern, but in fact, among these three people, Beckenbauer rarely participates in the daily operations of the club. He plays a more supervisory and coordinating role, or coordinates the overall situation.

So in the past few years, he has been more focused on preparing for the World Cup in Germany rather than managing Bayern.

At Bayern, the real Big Three should be Rummenigge, chairman of the executive committee who is responsible for external affairs, Hoeness, vice chairman who is responsible for team management, transfers and many other affairs, and Karl Hopfner, a member of the executive committee who is in charge of finance, ticketing and business.

Whenever important events and decisions arise, a general meeting needs to be held. Not only the Big Three will come, but also the mascot Beckenbauer, and Herbert Hainer, the chairman of the world's largest sports brand and also a Bayern shareholder, will all attend.

Just looking at the management, it is not difficult to see Bayern Munich's status and influence in German football.

And all this is the masterpiece of Hennes.

At the beginning of the century, the Kirch Group went bankrupt and Bayern encountered a serious operational crisis. Hoeness carried out internal reforms, introduced shares from several large companies such as Audi, and established a joint-stock company. This move helped Bayern get rid of its operational difficulties.

This is also why when Bayern won the Champions League that year, it was Hoeness who was thrown up by the players.

After several years of low-key management, Bayern Munich is now financially strong and powerful, and it is time to show its strength.

…

"Today's meeting will mainly discuss two things." Hennes presided over the meeting.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"First, Deisler formally applied to the club that he wanted to retire."

As soon as Hennes finished speaking, the conference room exploded.

Who is Deisler? I guess many fans don't know him.

But in German football, Deisler is a genius who countless people once had high hopes for and who has indeed demonstrated extraordinary strength.

How talented is he? In recent years, the Bundesliga has introduced many talented players, such as Miku and Rosicky, who are all very outstanding talents.

As the Bundesliga powerhouse, Bayern Munich definitely has enough strength to sign them, but they have been waiting anxiously for Deisler's comeback.

This is true not only for Bayern, but also for the national team.

Before the World Cup, Deisler was injured and Klinsmann called him personally, encouraging him to recover slowly. As long as he returned before the World Cup, there would be a place for him in the national team.

When many people mention the current leader of the German national team, they will think of Ballack, but in the minds of countless Germans, Ballack cannot fill the position of Deisler.

Of course, some people reflect that this is the beauty created by regret.

Who knows?

God gave Deisler unparalleled talent and gifts, but gave him a fragile body and a weak will.

After several injuries, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

As soon as Hoeness finished speaking, there was a discussion in the conference room. Most of the people expressed regret, thinking that Deisler was still very young and there was no need to decide to retire so early. He could still work harder.

As for injuries, just get through it.

"What did he say?" Beckenbauer asked calmly.

As a leading figure in German football history, Beckenbauer took the development of German football as his mission. Deisler was once a genius he had high hopes for and the younger generation he valued the most. At this moment, he felt very upset.

"He said... he couldn't stand it anymore!" Hennes said with regret.

In an instant, the bustling conference room fell into deathly silence.

If you have never experienced an injury, especially repeated injuries like Deisler's, you cannot understand the pain.

The more expectations the outside world places on him, the more pressure he feels.

Not everyone can withstand this pressure!

Beckenbauer twitched his lips. He was also a professional player and had experienced injuries, so he understood.

One thing that makes Bayern Munich completely different from other teams is that its top management basically understands football.

Either they are former professional players or have been engaged in football for many years, so they are all very professional.

"Tell him that the contract is suspended but not terminated. He can take an indefinite leave and recuperate. If one day in the future he wants to play football, he can come back at any time. If he has any objections, just say it was me who said that I would not allow him to retire!"

At the end of his speech, Beckenbauer's eyes were red.

This was the younger generation he had always had high hopes for, and he was very sad to see this moment.

Is it easy for German football to produce a genius? It is really sad and regrettable that he has such a glass body.

Hoeness took note of it carefully; he could feel the sadness in Beckenbauer's heart.

"Next, let's talk about Su Dong."

I really like Deisler and originally wanted to write about him, but after much consideration, I decided not to.
