Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Apologize for the wrong decision I made before...
After Florentino Perez took over as the helmsman of Real Madrid, he took charge of a series of transfers for Real Madrid this season.
Anelka, who was banned from Real Madrid due to his eccentric personality and refusal to train, was sent to Paris Saint-Germain by the old man.
After Eto'o returned to Real Madrid at the end of his loan last winter, he fell into injury again and Real Madrid sold him to Mallorca.
Bought Makelele, who is good at midfield interception, from Celta.
Munitis and Solari have joined Real Madrid.
Transfer news spread one after another from Madrid to London, Munich, Paris, Rome and other places, but no one looked away. The mainstream sports media sent their best reporters to Madrid and Milan.
The whole world is waiting to see if Real Madrid will sell their "Prince" Redondo to Milan.
Until the last day, Real Madrid's last transfer in this summer vacation was finally settled, and Albert Celades joined Real Madrid.
At the press conference, Florentino told everyone with a smile: Real Madrid is currently on the right track, every player in the first team will be a guarantee of the championship in the new season, Real Madrid will not sell Redondo, and the "Prince" is "not for sale" of Real Madrid.
The words were spoken righteously, as if the "Prince" was really about to become the "King" smoothly at the Bernabeu.
But look at the slogans that Real Madrid fans held up in the summer when they heard the news, "Liar Perez" and "Please don't leave, Fernando". Even the fact that Guti and Raul broke into Florentino's office and didn't see anyone was not concealed.
Reporters all looked at Celades, who was sitting anxiously next to Florentino Pulisic. The 25-year-old young man, like Figo, was born in Barcelona. But since Figo's move to the arch-rivals has been hyped for the entire summer, no one has felt anything about this star-studded Barcelona youth player's "defection".
What really matters is his position - defensive midfielder.
This season, there have been rumors that Real Madrid wants to sell Redondo. Galliani has said in interviews more than once that he has been negotiating with Real Madrid about Redondo's transfer. Some reporters have also taken photos of Galliani in Madrid.
Even though Florentino has always expressed the importance of Redondo to Real Madrid, everyone can see that Real Madrid has bought two defensive midfielders this summer, and it is self-evident who they are replacing.
Redondo flew back to Madrid from Argentina early, and he was the first to know Florentino's attitude.
When his agent's phone rang, Redondo guessed the purpose of the call. Sure enough, after a few words, the agent told him that Real Madrid had spread the word that they were ready to sell him, and Milan was the most active and most suitable club.
Natalia placed her hand on the knee of Redondo, who was sitting on the sofa with a frown in thought.
"Fernando, what happened?" Natalia's eyes were full of worry. Redondo rarely had such a confused and angry moment.
"They are going to sell me." Redondo calmed himself down and told his wife calmly.
Natalia did not expect this to happen. She lived with Redondo day and night, and she knew that her husband had long loved the white shirt and wanted to retire from Real Madrid.
"Since Madrid is not my home, I'll just leave." Redondo was a proud man and was unwilling to beg for a chance to stay.
Natalia tried to persuade Redondo many times but failed to change his mind. She watched him talk to his agent in a calm tone and he would consider the possibility of playing for Milan.
Redondo quickly returned to Madrid with his agent and had several rounds of talks with the management at Real Madrid Sports City. Florentino did have the idea of selling him and basically agreed to Galliani's offer. Now it depends on the player's own wishes.
Redondo came to the Sports City with his agent to start negotiations, but at this time Florentino's assistant told them that everything was suspended and Real Madrid suppressed the transfer with Milan.
After a few days, Redondo actually figured out why Real Madrid sold him. Before Florentino announced his candidacy for the presidency, he had always been a staunch supporter of Sanz. Now that the new emperor has taken office, he naturally has to deal with "remnants of the previous dynasty" like him. Intellectually he could understand Real Madrid's choice, but emotionally he could not accept leaving the club with which he had a deep connection.
Redondo has hardly ever returned to the Argentina national team since 1990. After Passarella took over as coach of the national team, he closed the door to playing for Argentina in his mind. He placed all his feelings and hopes on Real Madrid. In 1998, Real Madrid won the Champions League, and he was unable to travel with the team to France. He finally couldn't hold back his tears after the game.
It is said that Real Madrid fans are the most picky and fickle in the world, but the Melcos have always loved him. Even though he is not from Real Madrid, they are willing to call him "Prince" affectionately, saying that his elegant style of play best fits the white shirts of Real Madrid.
How could Redondo have no feelings for Real Madrid? Even until now, Redondo still hopes to spend the rest of his life at the Bernabeu.
But now he has accepted everything and is ready to go to Milan.
But when everyone sat down, Real Madrid told him that the transfer was suspended. The management also apologized to him for the wrong decision made before, hoping that Redondo could accept it and consider continuing to play for Real Madrid.
Redondo didn't understand why Florentino suddenly changed his mind.
"Dad, are you going to sell Redondo?"
Frenlundino looked at his younger son, who had grown a lot taller, standing at the door and waved to Leandri to sit on the chair in front of him.
"Did anyone come to see you?"
"I saw the newspaper." Leandri avoided the question but did not lie.
Florentino looked at his youngest son and pursed his lips, knowing that he was a little unhappy, "You really like Redondo"
Leandri nodded firmly, "Brother Fernando should be a Real Madrid player. He definitely hopes to play here until he retires. The fans think so too."
What Leandri said was what he was thinking in his heart. Even if he lived to the age of twenty in his previous life, he had never experienced the hardships of the workplace. He didn't understand competition, didn't understand how to take sides, and didn't know what he would experience if he made the wrong choice.
The old man did not explain these to Leandri, and it was simply impossible for him to understand now. He had asked Leandri before whether he liked Redondo very much and got an accurate answer. He also knew what happened between the big and the small. The quiet Redondo had become friends with Leandri by accident and got along with Leandri like a child, or even a friend.
"Redondo is not young anymore, and it may be difficult for him to maintain the same high level of performance next season." Florentino gave a different explanation.
"But he doesn't look like he's going downhill yet, Dad." Leandri tried to struggle.
"Sports matters are unpredictable, fans can have their own preferences, but I have to consider the practicalities of Real Madrid."
"Practical considerations?" Leandri got the point.
Florentino thought about it for a while, and simply explained to him, "Real Madrid currently has 270 million in foreign debt, plus they spent 56 million to buy Luis and Ryan from Barcelona in the summer. This is not a simple transfer, it was done by paying the penalty. Termination of the contract requires extremely heavy taxes, and Real Madrid needs a lot of funds to turn over."
Leandri may not understand other things, but he is particularly sensitive to numbers. "But Dad, we got 30 million for Anelka's transfer, and we also got 4.4 million pounds for Samuel's transfer to Mallorca. Although it is still not enough, if it is true that Fernando's transfer fee is 15.75 million pounds as the newspaper said, it is still not enough."
Seeing that this explanation did not scare Leandri, Florentino frowned and said, "Okay Leandri, I'll think about it and give you an answer later, okay? Go and have a rest first."
Leandri knew that he was acting on emotion. Although he didn't want Redondo to leave, he didn't want himself, who knew nothing, to influence Mr. Lagerfeld's decision. He stood up from the chair, leaned over to Florentino and kissed him goodbye. "I'm sorry, Dad. I shouldn't have said these things to embarrass you. Good night, and you should go to bed early."
Seeing Leandri obediently closing the door for him, Florentino opened the briefcase, which was a stack of information prepared for him by his assistant.
The first one was a poll of Real Madrid fans, in which more than 90% of the fans "wanted Redondo instead of Perez". Florentino pondered over them for a long time.
The next day, the management received the news that Redondo would be retained, but his contract would not be renewed and his salary would not be increased.
When Redondo was leaving the meeting room, he happened to run into Leandri. The little boy came in from outside, holding a glass of juice and sweating profusely. It was obvious that he had just finished playing football.
"Brother Fernando!" Leandri also noticed him and greeted him immediately.
"Ryan, why are you here?" Seeing the little boy, an idea suddenly came to Redondo's mind.
"I'm here to see my dad." Leandri told the truth, but he felt bad as soon as the words came out of his lips. His father was about to sell Redondo. It would be strange if Redondo was in a good mood when he heard Florentino. He might even ignore him.
Redondo reached out and rubbed Ryan's hair. The dark brown curls were wet with sweat and beads of sweat were dripping down, but he didn't care at all. Knowing that Ryan was going to the lounge next door, he took him and went with him.
"Ryan, don't you want me to go to Milan?"
"Of course not. I hope that Brother Fernando can retire from Real Madrid. You are the best player I have ever met!" Leandri swallowed a big mouthful of juice and expressed his thoughts firmly.
"I didn't know why dad would do this. I, I..." I was at a loss as to how to express my dilemma.
"I won't leave. Like you said, I will stay in Real Madrid and retire." Redondo had made the decision long ago.
"Really? I knew Dad would let you stay!" Leandri looked up instantly and expressed his excitement loudly.
Hearing this, Redondo confirmed his guess that Leandri must have communicated with Florentino about his matter.
There was just one thing he couldn't understand. No matter how much he doted on his child, Florentino was so smart that he would never let Leandri affect his decision.
The new season is about to begin, the first-team players have started training together, La Fabrica's youth training has returned to the right track, and has attracted many new partners.
Ten-year-old Nacho had just walked into the stadium when he heard a quarrel nearby, "Liar Perez! If it weren't for your father, how could you come here to play football?"
