Chapter 486: Taking Barcelona to court!
Just after midnight, the lights in Su Dong's villa were still brightly lit.
This is particularly unusual.
It is well known throughout the world that Su Dong is famous for his self-discipline. He gets up early on time for training and goes to bed on time at night.
On normal days, at this time, he would have been fast asleep, but tonight, he was still sitting in the living room.
Wang Chuqing, Mendes, Ma Dawei, two representative lawyers of Su Dong's brokerage team, and colleagues in charge of business operations all gathered together and sat around the big sofa in the living room.
No one spoke, they all sat there silently, occasionally glancing at Su Dong's cell phone on the coffee table.
Everyone knows Su Dong's schedule, and no one will easily disturb him at this time.
Unless it is arranged in advance.
"I'll go make everyone some coffee."
Wang Chuqing, who was sitting next to Su Dong, saw that everyone was bored, so she stood up immediately and walked to the water bar that separated the dining room and the living room. She had lived here for a long time and had the feeling of being a hostess entertaining guests.
The key point is that Su Dong didn't object.
Before long, cups of hot freshly ground coffee were handed to everyone one after another, except for Su Dong, who got a cup of boiled water. It was obvious that Wang Chuqing knew Su Dong's diet very well.
Just as he took the boiled water and smiled at Wang Chuqing, Su Dong's cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
The attention of everyone at the scene was immediately drawn to it, and they all tensed up, staring at the phone.
Su Dong put down the cup in his hand, picked up the phone, and looked at the caller ID.
"Soriano." Su Dong said.
Everyone suddenly became more nervous.
In the Barcelona team, Sudong is actually very popular. If it weren't for the recent incident, he would still be happy to continue playing for Barcelona. In the management, Soriano and Begiristain have a good relationship with Sudong.
The former is the vice president in charge of finance and is considered an external expert hired by Barcelona, while the latter is a professional player and can understand Su Dong better.
Even in this recent incident, although the two did not make a clear statement, they still kept in touch with Su Dong privately.
This time, Su Dong entrusted Soriano and Begiristain to tell him the results of the presidential election as soon as possible.
At this moment, both of them should be campaigning at the meeting.
…
"Hello, Feilan." Su Dong answered the phone.
"Su, bad news." Soriano on the other end of the phone had obviously hidden in a remote corner and deliberately lowered his voice, but one could still hear the bustling voices of people on the phone, as if they were celebrating.
"Laporta lost?"
"It's a narrow defeat." Soriano said with regret.
"That is to say, Rosell will become the new president of Barcelona and Bartomeu will become the vice president, is that right?"
Soriano pondered for a moment and hummed, "That's basically it."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Ferran. I will remember your help anyway."
“It should be.”
…
After Su Dong hung up the phone, the expressions of everyone around him had already changed.
They all heard the conversation between Sudong and Soriano.
Unexpectedly, Laporta lost!
"What's going on? In the past two years, Barcelona first won the double championship, and last season won the treble. With such good results, they ran for re-election, but still lost?" Ma Dawei was very excited.
Because he knew what this meant to Su Dong.
Su Dong was very calm from beginning to end, whether he was talking to Soriano on the phone or now, he was very calm.
His face looked normal, his tone was normal, even his eyes were normal.
"Back then, Sanz also competed with Florentino with the Champions League. No matter how good the results were, didn't he still lose to Figo?" Mendes was very open-minded about this, and he was even mentally prepared.
The Portuguese agent is also a person who is very good at preparing in advance, and he never fights a battle without confidence.
That is why he and his players have been invincible in European football over the years.
"For those politicians, achievements are just a bonus. What they really need to do is to get people who hold the ballot to cast their votes for them. People who hold the ballot generally only have three choices: one is to vote for someone they like, one is to vote for someone they don't hate so much, or simply not to vote."
Wang Chuqing analyzed the current situation calmly and calmly.
"Rosell is not necessarily very likable, but now, Laporta is obviously hated by many people. If it weren't for the general election, he would have enough time to slowly change his image in the minds of fans, but now, his term of office is up!"
Su Dong nodded. He had always had a suspicion as to why his contract was exposed.
At first he thought it was an attack on him, but gradually he realized it was not.
From annual salary to terms, and then to the final original text, the purpose of this step by step is to bring out the sensitive clause in the original text. The purpose is to use it to attack Laporta's votes and make many people who would originally vote for him change their positions, or abstain from voting, or vote for Rosell instead.
As it turned out, Russell won!
Regardless of what happened before, now that he has won the presidential election, he is the new president of Barcelona, and he will take office immediately! Bartomeu, who was originally the head of the basketball department, will serve as Rosell's vice president.
Coincidentally, after police investigation, it was found that when Bartomeu was the head of the basketball department, he had the opportunity to access player contracts that were not originally within his authority, which is very problematic.
The police suspended the investigation at this point, apparently encountering resistance.
This was the result that Su Dong found out through various channels, and the police only announced an ambiguous result to the public, that is, the source of the contract exposure was the Barcelona management, but they did not find out who it was.
"What should we do now?" Ma Dawei was very depressed.
This is someone else's territory and sphere of influence. Su Dong is just a foreign aid, isolated and helpless, and there is not much he can do, especially now that Rosell has defeated Laporta and was elected as the president of Barcelona.
It can be predicted that in the future, Su Dong’s situation in Barcelona will become worse and worse.
Su Dong looked at Mendes, then turned his head to look at Wang Chuqing who was sitting next to him, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
When Wang Chuqing saw him smiling at her, her face turned red, but she concealed it well.
"I think you should just sue Barcelona directly. Your contract was signed with Barcelona, and it was Barcelona that exposed it. So no matter who is the president, you can just sue Barcelona directly, and the other party will have to bear the consequences. With the police investigation results, you will definitely win the case!"
"Are you crazy?" Mendes was shocked. It is not uncommon for players to sue the club, but if a star of Su Dong's level really went to court with Barcelona, it would definitely be the focus of attention of the whole world.
The last sensational, world-famous case of a player suing a club was the Bosman Act, and the final result completely overturned the power structure of the entire European football.
The Su Dong case may not have such an influence, but it certainly caused a greater sensation than it did back then.
"I am sure that Barcelona will not sue you." Wang Chuqing smiled slyly at Su Dong.
Su Dong suddenly discovered that in terms of law, Wang Chuqing was really like a female Zhuge Liang.
"They can't afford to lose that guy!" Su Dong said with a smile.
Since Su Dong is sure to win, Barcelona certainly doesn't want to sue. If they don't want to sue, they can only let Su Dong withdraw the lawsuit.
But Su Dong has suffered such a great loss and been so wronged. Is it so easy to ask him to withdraw the lawsuit?
"What kind of chips do you think Russell will offer to convince you?" Wang Chuqing asked with a smile.
"He doesn't have many chips in his hand, and I'm interested in even fewer." Su Dong nodded and smiled.
In this way, the initiative returned to Su Dong's hands.
…
Su Dong made a decision immediately and did as Wang Chuqing said.
That night, Wang Chuqing negotiated with two representative lawyers to discuss suing Barcelona.
Su Dong discussed with Mendes and Ma Dawei, mainly the issue of leaving Barcelona.
Things have developed to this point, leaving is a foregone conclusion, the key is where to go and the issue of sponsors.
Su Dong is not worried at all about whether he can play for Barcelona in the future.
"Don't worry, Gudjohnson wants to shake my main position, but he is almost there!" Su Dong said domineeringly.
As the double Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years, it would be a waste if he didn't even have this little confidence.
"Then I'm really looking forward to seeing them oppose you and boo you constantly, but at the same time they have to rely on you. Tell me, is this what is called pain and happiness?"
Ma Dawei's words made everyone present burst into laughter.
…………
…………
The next morning, the results of the Barcelona presidential election were announced.
Rosell defeated Laporta by a narrow margin and officially became the new chairman of Barcelona.
Last night, after winning the election, Rosell said that he would officially take office as the president of Barcelona today. The inauguration ceremony was scheduled for noon, and the head coach and several core players of the first team were also invited to attend.
But what Rosell had never expected was that that morning, Mendes suddenly accepted an interview with the media and publicly stated on behalf of Su Dong that he had formally sued Barcelona in court on the grounds that Barcelona had leaked Su Dong's contract, violated the confidentiality clause in the contract, and caused serious damage to Su Dong's reputation and property.
"I will submit a written transfer application to Barcelona on behalf of Su Dong this morning, hoping to transfer during the winter break!"
Mendes also revealed that before the transfer, Su Dong was still a Barcelona player. "As long as he still wears the Barcelona jersey, he will definitely fight for Barcelona to the end. This is his professional ethics!"
Both events were announced before the inauguration ceremony of the new chairman, and the meaning is self-evident.
Suddenly, the entire Spanish football world, and even the entire European football world, was in an uproar.
Media from all over the world flocked to the event, reporting it frantically and uncovering the inside story.
Su Dong did not make any mistakes in the whole thing. He was a victim, there is no doubt about that.
The deeper the media digs and the more they uncover, the more beneficial it will be to Su Dong, and the more supportive public opinion will be towards him.
Even many active and retired players and many people in the football industry have responded and supported Su Dong, believing that he should defend his own rights.
For a moment, the whole world was in shock!
