Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Come on!
The plane landed in Madrid, and Leandri ran into Salgado as soon as he walked out of the airport.
Salgado was preparing to go on vacation with his family. Today, when he saw Leandri, he was much more polite and took the initiative to step forward and hug the real Crown Prince.
Squatting down and ruffling Salgado's little daughter's hair, Leandri heard Salgado sigh, "Maybe I can't stay in Real Madrid for too long, even though I have deep feelings for the team. I hope to retire at the Bernabeu."
Leandri showed his neat teeth and said, "Dad has his own ideas about the management of the team. I can't interfere."
In early December, Real Madrid held a general meeting again, and the only candidate participating in the presidential election was Florentino, who started the Galacticos. Leandri was playing away at the time and had no way of accompanying the old man again as agreed. Besides, he is now a player of another team and it would not be appropriate for him to appear there.
When you grow up, you will be tied down by many things. Going to the same university as your family and accompanying your father in another election have become impossible.
After spending Christmas and Spring Festival with his family, Karl Lagerfeld started to get busy again. The winter break in La Liga is much shorter than that in the Bundesliga. While Leandri was still comfortably staying at home, Real Madrid and Castilla had already restarted the league.
On January 4, Real Madrid played against Villarreal at home, and Robben scored the only goal of the game.
Leandri watched the entire game in the stands, and sitting next to him was Guti, who was not included in the squad. This season, Real Madrid changed coaches again midway through the season, with Juande Ramos replacing Schuster. However, the new coach was not impressed with Guti, and he replaced the Golden Wolf at halftime since December. Now, the Real Madrid vice-captain's name is not even on the roster.
"Maybe you can try to go to other teams." Even Redondo advised him more than once, but the response he got was always the same: I don't want to play for any team except Real Madrid.
This season, Guardiola took over Barcelona, and the Dream Team was making great progress on all fronts. Real Madrid lost in the national derby, and was far behind its arch-rivals in league points. Guti was unwilling to leave at this time, or he wanted to stay with Real Madrid at any time.
Although Real Madrid won, Leandri was not in a good mood when he thought about Guti's situation, but as he said, he would not interfere with Florentino's management of the team.
Although he didn't show it on his face, the old man could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Leandri, and he roughly guessed the reason. After dinner, he sent his youngest son to the study.
"The team is already preparing to renew Guti's contract." The old man went straight to the point and let his youngest son put his worries to rest.
Leandri shook his head, "Dad, don't let our good relationship affect your decision."
The old man denied it, "It's not just because of you. Guti has been playing for Real Madrid for 22 years since he joined the youth team. Like Raul, he is also a banner of Real Madrid. Even if he does not fit the team's tactics for the time being, Real Madrid will not directly clear out the meritorious players. Real Madrid's renewal condition is to reduce his salary and stay in the team."
The club is not a charity. If a player gets older and his technical and tactical level declines, the management will naturally not allow him to maintain a high salary. In order to achieve results, the team must maintain a top-notch level, and older players must either use their indispensable strength to make the club rush to renew their contracts, or accept the reality and make way for more capable young players. Since ancient times, good generals are like beauties who are not allowed to grow old in the world. This is a natural law and an inevitable reality.
But if everything was measured by paper strength, football would not be so popular among the public. The significance of veterans is indescribable, and homegrown meritorious players are like the spiritual pillars of the team. The appeal of the club and the charm of the players are intertwined and inseparable. Florentino has been immersed in management for many years, so he naturally knows how strong the emotional stickiness can be. As long as the player's strength is good enough and the demands are not excessive, and at the same time he meets the club's salary structure, Florentino is willing to renew the contract. Even if the negotiations fail, it doesn't matter. If the player wants to go somewhere else to challenge his competitive career again, the club will never hinder the player from leaving, and will even welcome him back after retirement.
After hearing what the old man said, Leandri felt relieved. He had been with Raul Guti since he was a child, and they had a very good relationship through playing and fighting. Naturally, he knew that Guti was a loyal Madridist. No matter how many more years Guti could play for Real Madrid in the future, at least there was still hope. But the problem is that the reason why countless Real Madrid players are dreaming of spending the rest of their lives at the Bernabeu is because Real Madrid does not want idle people. At the same time, the stars produced by Real Madrid are too proud to live in the team in a muddle and erase the best image in the hearts of fans.
"The club is reconsidering its contact with Ronaldo." The old man changed the subject.
Leandri was a little confused. "I am not a Real Madrid player now. Dad, please don't tell me about Real Madrid's transfer intentions. But Ronaldo is indeed a very good player."
"Before, Manchester United used you as a bargaining chip for Ronaldo's transfer, and I thought you would have a grudge against him." In fact, this also made Florentino himself a bit caught in a dilemma. Although Ronaldo and Real Madrid are suitable for each other, the old man himself knew that the incident had nothing to do with Ronaldo, but Calderon tied him to his son's transfer, so Ronaldo was unprovoked this time.
"How could that be? Players don't have much decision-making power. Not to mention Ronaldo, even Manchester United didn't expect Calderon and Mijatovic to do this. My transfer is their fault." Leandri thought of the mutual achievements between Ronaldo and Real Madrid in his previous life. "Dad, Ronaldo got Real Madrid. He is the best player in the world."
Leandri was still worried, fearing that his transfer experience would make Florentino Perez hate him and decide not to sign Ronaldo. He hurriedly began to recommend the Portuguese to Florentino Perez, "Dad, Ronaldo can break through, pass the ball, shoot from long range, head the ball, and even take free kicks. He will be even stronger in the future. If you don't buy a player like this now, you will never be able to buy one in the future!"
"Dad, you are a capitalist, you must not act on your emotions, not to mention that Ronaldo is innocent!" Leandri began to act like a rogue in front of his father.
The capitalist's face darkened. "You always talk about being the best in the world, and now you're saying that others are the best in the world."
"Once I beat the best in the world, I will be the best player in the world." Leandri said as a matter of course.
She thought about her son every day when he was not at home, and she felt a little disgusted with him when he was around her for a long time. Even the most obedient child could not escape this curse. The old lady drove Leandri out of the study in a few seconds.
At that time, Calderon had basically agreed on the terms with Ronaldo, and the two sides were even about to sign the agreement, but who could have imagined that so many things would happen in Real Madrid this summer? Calderon resigned after just a short while in the vortex, and has been summoned by the Spanish tax department because of TSLS. In an instant, the bridge that was almost built between the Portuguese and Real Madrid began to collapse, and the feud with Manchester United and Ferguson made the transfer infinitely more difficult.
Seeing that his son didn't care about Ronaldo, Florentino finally got rid of the thorn in his heart. Real Madrid used to be the 16th place in the Champions League every year, but this season they were left behind by Barcelona halfway through the league. Real Madrid's competitiveness is no longer as good as before, and a shot in the arm is necessary to make the team's heart beat more powerfully again. The club has made assessments in all aspects, and putting aside the difficulty, Ronaldo is the most suitable candidate.
Although Calderon has been criticized as "the worst president in the history of Real Madrid", sometimes you have to admit that he does have a good vision. Regardless of whether he is fooling the fans or not, any of Fabregas, Kaka or Ronaldo can greatly enhance Real Madrid's influence.
Florentino has already started working on summer signings. For players like Kaka and Ronaldo, transfers involve many aspects and cannot be negotiated overnight, not to mention that Calderon has been a big hindrance in the process.
While Leandri kept praising Ronaldo to his father for how strong and amazing he was, the Bundesliga winter break was about to end. After having a few happy gatherings with the defense team and Eric, Leandri returned to Germany with his baggage. Labbadia had already informed them of the time for joint training.
When he returned to his apartment, the house was still empty. Leandri had originally wanted Kroos to bring his things over earlier and settle down in Leverkusen in advance, so he gave him the key before leaving. However, the German was very aware of boundaries. If Leandri didn't come back, no matter how familiar Kroos was with him, he would not be so rude as to come in directly.
He informed his good brother that he had landed and asked him to come over and settle down. When he first came to Germany, Leandri felt that it was a bit lonely to live alone in an empty house. If Kroos had not come, he might have kept a pet at home.
Leandri searched for pet profiles on the Internet for two days and looked up a lot of things to note about raising pets in Germany. He had not yet decided whether to raise a golden retriever or a Bernese Mountain, and German Shepherd was also a good choice, when Kroos simply knocked on his door with his suitcase.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to smile. After entering the door, Cross gave his landlord a big hug. He was not happy in Bayern this season. Even though all of Germany said he was a talented midfielder, he had very few opportunities to play and show his talents. Moreover, the top management of Bayern were all so arrogant. How comfortable could a young boy from East Germany be able to live like this? Kroos and his father made a conscious decision to leave temporarily. Kroos felt that he was actually very lucky. Just after he finalized the loan contract with Leverkusen, his good brother told him with his actions that there is true love in the world and an environment like Bayern Munich's Green Field and Hollywood is strange.
When Kroos took out his clothes one by one, Leandri leaned against the door and chattered to him about how good the atmosphere in Leverkusen's locker room was. When they had free time, they would organize activities like barbecue. Rolfes even brought him pork elbow made by his father.
Cross was also very happy to hear this, but that didn't stop him from suddenly correcting Leandri's grammar, "His father is in the second case, and you used the possessive pronoun in front incorrectly."
Leandri: ...
Leverkusen's joint training began. In the morning, Leandri pulled out his big donkey, threw a helmet to Kroos and patted the cushion behind him to signal him to sit on it. Kroos was not polite at all. He put on the helmet, straddled the seat and sat on it, with his hands directly around Leandri's waist. Safety first. The big donkey took them to the training ground, accompanied them and grew up with them. The two brothers will spend the next year and a half together in the pharmaceutical factory.
