Chapter 483 The truth is revealed
The successive revelations from the media have seriously affected the morale of the Barcelona dressing room.
Everyone was in danger and panic, and even head coach Rijkaard was helpless.
No one blamed Su Dong because it was Laporta and other management who signed the contract with him, and almost everyone in the locker room could see clearly that this incident was not aimed at Su Dong, but the intention was to use Su Dong to attack Laporta.
Is this something to be happy about?
Obviously not.
No one wants to be used as a pawn, especially a pawn without any autonomy.
After Mundo Deportivo revealed more contract details, Su Dong's agent Mendes quickly spoke out on behalf of Su Dong. In addition to clarifying the details of the bonus, he also publicly criticized the exposure of player contracts.
Mendes made it clear that he would pursue this matter to the end.
"There are three parties who have learned about this contract: us, La Liga and Barcelona management. We will definitely find out where the problem occurred. It is not difficult. We will make the criminals pay the price!"
Mendes also said that Su Dong felt that he was treated unfairly in Barcelona and was seeking the possibility of leaving Barcelona. "I can tell you clearly that many teams are happy to pay the transfer fee for Su Dong!"
Mendes' words were like a thunderclap, causing a huge response throughout European football.
An official Barcelona spokesperson quickly came out to say that before the results of the Barcelona presidential election came out, Barcelona would not contact any team and would not accept any offer for Su Dong.
Laporta, who announced his candidacy for the election, criticized the whistleblower, believing that this was a crime and must be severely punished.
"As the world's top superstar, Su Dong deserves the protection of all of us."
"I can feel that someone is trying to use dishonorable means to force him to leave Barcelona. This is something that all Barcelona fans cannot allow or accept. Su Dong must stay in Camp Nou!"
Another person who announced his candidacy for the position of Barcelona president, Rosell, also came forward. In an interview with the media, Rosell said that the media's exposure of Su Dong's actions should not be encouraged, but he believed that Laporta and his presidential team should reflect more.
Rosell believes that Sudon's contract has seriously exceeded Barcelona's salary structure.
"In fact, as early as 2004, I was very opposed to bringing in Su Dong. It was not because I did not recognize his ability. On the contrary, I always believed that Su Dong had super personal ability. But in order to bring him in, we made too many sacrifices. We seriously overdrew the salary structure, which should not be advocated."
"It is true that we have achieved brilliant results in the past two seasons, but the financial expenditure of our entire team has also increased significantly, our salary structure has been severely damaged, and our salary burden has even exceeded that of Real Madrid."
Before Rosell finished speaking, Laporta immediately hit back, thinking that Rosell was trying to change the concept.
Sudong's transfer fee is certainly a record-breaking one, but whether it is his current value or his achievements in the past two years, it is enough to prove that this is a successful transfer, even one of the most successful transfers in Barcelona's history.
As for the salary burden exceeding that of Real Madrid, it is because Rosell compared the current Barcelona with the current Real Madrid, which is unfair to Barcelona because the current Barcelona is stronger, more outstanding, and has more stars.
"I must also remind all Barcelona fans that our salary expenditure is indeed reaching new highs every year, but everyone must pay attention to the fact that the growth rate of our fiscal revenue far exceeds the growth rate of our salary expenditure."
Laporta accused Rosell of using rhetoric, believing he was deliberately misleading Barcelona fans.
…
When the two major candidates were engaged in a war of words for the presidency, Barcelona arrived in Monaco.
Su Dong stayed in the hotel the whole time, refused to accept any media interviews, and even cancelled his attendance at the UEFA awards ceremony.
Even though he knew early on that the best forward and best player awards were his, he still didn't go.
As the award presenter, German legend Beckenbauer was puzzled by what happened in Spain. He could not understand why the contract, which was supposed to be kept strictly confidential, would be exposed to the media.
"I can only say that this is definitely a scandal that has never been seen in world football!"
Beckenbauer also said that for any team and any league, players like Su Dong should be protected instead of being used to achieve some ulterior motives.
The words of the football emperor were considered to be an open support for Su Dong, sparking heated discussions throughout the European football world.
Shortly afterwards, Manchester United godfather Ferguson also came out to accept media interviews, believing that Su Dong was treated unfairly at Barcelona.
Even Barcelona godfather Cruyff strongly criticized Mundo Deportivo for exposing Su Dong's contract in his column, believing that it was a conspiracy to force Su Dong away.
…
Although he won two major awards, Su Dong did not show up. He even did not play in the subsequent European Super Cup and was temporarily removed from the roster by Rijkaard.
Black Swan’s explanation for this is that the Soviet Union needs to calm down.
Rijkaard said that he felt Su Dong's inner anger and he could understand that he felt extremely disappointed and regretful about what happened. "Some people are trampling on Barcelona's honor!"
After losing Sudong, the team's locker room was in panic, which led to Barcelona's lack of desire to fight in Monaco. They were defeated 3-0 by Sevilla and suffered a humiliating defeat.
This crushing defeat undoubtedly further exacerbated the divisions and conflicts within Barcelona.
Captain Puyol, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Deco and other players have successively criticized the behavior of exposing player contracts, supporting Su Dong's complaint and severely punishing the criminals.
Messi, Iniesta, Marcos Senna and other close friends of Sudong firmly supported Sudong, saying that there was no problem with his contract and that his performance was worthy of the contract. If anyone tried to force him to leave Barcelona, it would definitely be a shame and a huge loss for Barcelona.
"I can't imagine that one day in the future, I will become an enemy of Su Dong on the court. It will definitely be a nightmare!"
Daily Sports conducted a questionnaire survey, asking readers to guess who the anonymous person who exposed Su Dong's contract was? Rosell was the first to bear the brunt! Everyone believed that Rosell was the biggest beneficiary in this matter.
But Rosell quickly clarified in the media, swearing that he absolutely did not do so, "I have been away from Barcelona management for more than a year. How could I know the contract details that only the core top leadership of Barcelona can know?"
"Besides, am I so stupid as to do something so stupid that everyone would guess it right away?"
Russell believes that someone is deliberately acting out a sad story to win the sympathy of the fans.
At this point, many people began to doubt again.
Indeed, if this was a conspiracy, wasn't it a bit too crude?
More importantly, any conspiracy must have a purpose. So what is Roselle's purpose?
What good would it do for him to expose Su Dong's contract and annual salary? Would he be able to win the presidential election by doing so? Is this a joke? ...
After the team returned to Barcelona from Monaco, they soon went to challenge Celta Vigo away.
Su Dong was once again not included in the 18-man roster. His agent Mendes said that Su Dong needed time to calm down and think carefully about his future.
Rijkaard expressed his understanding and support for this, and believed that Su Dong would return to the team soon.
On the road, Barcelona did not play well and eventually won 3-2 against Celta Vigo.
First they lost 0-3 to Sevilla and lost the European Super Cup, and now they narrowly beat Celta Vigo 3-2 away from home. Everyone clearly feels the importance of Su Dong to this Barcelona team.
Yet, the World Sports Daily has repeatedly revealed shocking news.
The day after the team returned to Barcelona from Celta Vigo, Mundo Deportivo once again broke the news in the name of Anonymous.
If the previous two times were done in the form of leaks, then this time, they showed their true colors and directly revealed the original text of Su Dong's contract, including all the terms contained therein.
The most eye-catching of these, highlighted in red by Mundo Deportivo, is an anti-Canadian independence clause.
The terms clearly state Su Dong's attitude that he will not participate in any activities or propaganda suspected of Canadian independence.
Barcelona president Laporta agreed to the clause and signed it.
This once again caused a strong earthquake in Spanish football and even shocked the entire European football world.
Especially in Catalonia, all Barcelona fans felt unbelievable. They didn't expect that there was such a clause in Sudong's contract, and Barcelona's management actually signed and agreed to it.
Not only that, Mundo Deportivo also released several videos on its official website, including the speech at Camp Nou after Barcelona's championship parade. Everyone shouted "Long live Catalonia" except Sudong, who never shouted it from beginning to end.
Su Dong even didn't wear a celebratory T-shirt because it was related to Canadian independence.
If there were still many Barcelona fans who doubted the authenticity of the video before, now the video is irrefutable evidence.
The whole Catalonia region is in an uproar!
Countless Barcelona fans found it hard to accept, and their admiration for Su Dong was shaken and their views on Su Dong were changed. Some people expressed regret and sadness, the vast majority remained silent, but there were also a very small number of people who chose to criticize fiercely, believing that Su Dong had let them down.
Mendes acted quickly and asked the court to immediately prohibit Mundo Deportivo and the media from continuing to expose the original text of Su Dong's contract. He also reported the case to the police station and demanded a thorough investigation of the Su Dong contract exposure incident.
Previously it could be said to be media speculation, but now that even the original contract has been exposed, the answer is very obvious.
Su Dong's move also aroused the anger of many radical fans. At the same time, as the drafter of the contract, Barcelona president Laporta has also been widely criticized.
