Chapter 806 Half of the Country

At the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, Real Madrid general manager Sanchez knocked on the door of the president's office.

"Come in!" Florentino's voice came from inside.

When I opened the door and went in, I could see from afar, at the far end of the not very spacious office, the plump Florentino was sitting behind the desk, holding his mobile phone in both hands, leaning very close to it and squinting his eyes.

When the president of Real Madrid appears in public, he always gives people the impression that he is still young and full of energy.

But only those who are truly familiar with and understand Florentino know that he is actually quite old.

Seeing Florentino concentrating on his phone, Sanchez stood opposite the desk waiting.

About ten seconds later, Florentino suddenly realized that there was a person standing in front of him. He immediately put away his phone and laughed, "Sorry, I was secretly looking at Yang Huan's circle of friends."

"Huh?" Sanchez was surprised.

If Florentino said that he used his mobile phone to read the news, text messages, or whatever, he would not be surprised.

But he actually said that he was looking at Yang Huan’s circle of friends?

When did he add Yang Huan as his WeChat friend? And, was he interested in checking out his circle of friends?

Isn't this a bit too much?

"Don't get me wrong. I was sitting and chatting with Yang Huan before. I asked him something and he said he had to go back and check and then tell me on WeChat. So, when I came back, didn't I immediately ask someone to create a WeChat account for me?"

"Oh!" Sanchez suddenly realized. No wonder Florentino suddenly changed to an Apple phone not long ago.

At that time, they all privately thought that this was Mr. Francis’s deep meaning!

It's a pity that these guys tried their best to hype up old Sir Alex Ferguson in the media, saying how close he is to young people and how he hopes Real Madrid can keep up with the trend, etc. It turns out that it's not true!

It turned out that they had misunderstood. Mr. Fu had no such intention at all. He just wanted to receive Yang Huan's WeChat message.

That’s right, to buy an Apple phone, a poor person has to sell his kidney, but Mr. Fritz can just talk.

"Haha, this guy recently accompanied their leader on a visit to South America, and you see, he kept checking his Moments, celebrity accounts, and posting pictures everywhere. I don't think he was on a state visit, he was just traveling!"

After saying this, Florentino himself shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

As the chairman of the largest real estate company in Spain, he also accompanied the Spanish Prime Minister on a visit to South America and signed several big contracts, but he was always trembling with fear with every step he took, for fear of making any mistakes.

Who is like Yang Huan, who takes his wife around and plays everywhere, as if he doesn't take the state visit seriously at all.

Oh my God, who are these people?

But soon, Florentino realized that what he said was a bit inappropriate. He always felt that he was making a fool of himself in front of Sanchez, especially when he raised his head and looked at Sanchez, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a weird expression. He immediately coughed heavily.

"By the way, what are you looking for me for?"

Sanchez had been trying hard to hold back his laughter. When he heard this, he immediately exclaimed, "All FIFA's individual awards for the World Cup have come out. Here's the list. Take a look!"

Florentino hummed, took it and looked at it.

He knew almost everyone on the list, so he looked through them quickly, and only paid close attention to a few people he didn't recognize.

The champion is Germany, the Fair Play Award goes to Colombia, the Ballon d'Or goes to Argentina's Messi, the Silver Ball goes to Germany's Thomas Muller, the Bronze Ball goes to the Netherlands' Robben, and the Golden Glove goes to Germany's Neuer.

These are all famous European football stars, and their names are well-known.

The Golden Boot went to James Rodriguez of Colombia, the Silver Boot went to Thomas Muller, the Bronze Boot went to Neymar, and the Best Young Player went to Paul Pogba.

As for the best lineup, the goalkeeper is Noel, and the defense is De Vrij, Hummels, Thiago Silva and Rojo.

The midfielders are Toni Kroos, Oscar, Lahm and James Rodriguez, and the forwards are Robben and Thomas Muller.

Messi, the winner of the Golden Ball, was not even included in the best team, which shows that it is still very controversial.

"Is this De Vrij a player of the first team? How come I have never heard of him before?" Florentino asked.

"Oh, De Vrij previously played for Feyenoord in the Netherlands, but moved to Inter Milan in January and is now the backbone of the Nerazzurri's defense. Klopp values ​​him very much."

Inter Milan?

Isn’t it Yang Huan’s team?

Florentino nodded. He was well aware of Yang Huan's ability to discover young players, so he was not surprised.

"Where's Rojo? The Argentine left back. Which team is he from?"

Sanchez was about to blurt out something, but suddenly remembered something, "Yes, Rojo played for Benfica before, but later went to Tottenham Hotspur, but before the World Cup, he transferred to Atletico Madrid. It is said that it was a one-for-one exchange. Tottenham Hotspur also added a sum of money to get Felipe."

At this point, Sanchez couldn't help but chuckle, "I guess Daniel Levy must be regretting it now."

"Haha!" Florentino couldn't help laughing. "Yang Huan is really cunning. He owns his own team, but he still wants to make money. What a good boy!"

"Isn't it? Everyone in the European football world knows that Yang Huan is the kind of guy who will do anything to save his life!"

"What about Paul Pogba?" Florentino asked after laughing.

"Paul Pogba is also a Southampton player. He is highly recognized by professionals and is regarded as the core player of the French national team in the next ten years. He is also the most sought-after talented midfielder in today's football world!"

When Florentino heard this, he frowned, "Southampton again, and Yang Huan again!"

He just couldn't understand how this guy could find so many talented players.

"If I remember correctly, James Rodriguez is also a Southampton player, right?"

"Well, yes, that's right!" Sanchez replied, "James Rodriguez and Pogba gradually became the main players after Vidal's transfer last season. Both players have performed very well, but in the Champions League, Bielsa relies more on Kaka and Oka, so they are not very famous."

Hearing this, Florentino immediately opened the list again and was a little surprised when he saw it.

"Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?" Florentino couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What's the matter?"

"Look, Neuer, de Vrij, Rojo, Toni Kroos, Oscar, James Rodriguez, there are eleven players in the World Cup best team, six of them are under Yang Huan's command, half of the team."

Sanchez hadn't paid attention to it before, but when he heard it, he immediately took it and took a look, and it was true.

“If we also take into account Paul Pogba, Modric, Suarez and other stars who were dragged down by the team and performed well but failed to achieve good results, then Yang Huan’s team would not be…”

There are so many talented people here, absolutely so many talented people!

Not only Florentino was surprised, but Sanchez was also shocked.

Who could have thought that in just four years, Yang Huan had built such a huge football empire in Europe.

Southampton and Atletico Madrid have many international players and are extremely strong, needless to say.

Take Inter Milan for example. De Bruyne, Khedira, De Vrij, Blind, Alex Sandro and Damian are all World Cup international players. Their strength is needless to say.

Monaco also has many international players. For example, Depay, who shines in the Netherlands national team, is from Monaco.

"Isn't this too horrible? What on earth did Yang Huan give them to eat?" Florentino was a little shocked.

Before the World Cup, without revealing any secrets, Yang Huan was still making a fortune quietly.

But when the World Cup came, the cards were revealed and everyone suddenly realized that he had accumulated such a huge fortune without realizing it.

"No wonder I heard before that he can put together a championship-winning team in minutes!" Florentino was full of admiration.

Sanchez was also surprised. "I think it is probably Southampton's talent development plan and training system in the past few years that are playing a role. Of course, the players' strength and potential are also important, but the key role should still be played by those two systems."

At this point, Sanchez suddenly had an idea in his mind, "Mr. Perez, you have a good relationship with Yang Huan, is there any way to talk to him and let us bring them in? At worst, we can just give them some money."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Florentino shook his head and laughed.

"How is this possible? I heard that Yang Huan values ​​these two treasures more than anything else. Even Tottenham Hotspur only got the right to use them, and Manchester City only got partial use rights. Only his own team can fully use these two systems. Tell me, will he sell them?"

After a pause, Florentino smiled again, "Besides, there is no need. We need to expand our vision. It is just right for them to train stars. If we need it, we can buy it. Why do we need to introduce these two systems?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of a sentence Yang Huan once said.

"As Yang Huan said, if you like drinking milk, there is no need to keep a cow at home!"

Sanchez was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled.

Isn't this too much?

It actually came out of Florentino's mouth?

But soon, he became serious again.

"The most eye-catching star in this World Cup should be James Rodriguez, right?"

Florentino sees his name and reports in the newspapers almost every day, which shows how famous this Colombian midfielder is now.

"Yes, we were keeping a close eye on Suarez, but his performance was tepid and he must be tired."

Unlike Yang Huan's previous life, after Suarez bit someone in the Premier League, Yang Huan used his connections to have the sentence changed. He was forced to receive psychological counseling and successfully cured his psychological problems. He did not bite anyone again in this World Cup.

But because of this, it loses a lot of news hype value.

This also made Yang Huan very helpless. After all, it is impossible to have the best of both worlds.

"James Rodriguez..." Florentino repeated the name again.

His company has recently had a lot of projects in South America, especially in countries and regions such as Uruguay and Colombia, so he is also very interested in having Real Madrid introduce players from this region to strengthen Real Madrid's influence in this area.

This is more or less one of the benefits of being the president of Real Madrid!

"Well, the Colombian midfielder is good at both offense and defense, and is very comprehensive and can play in multiple positions. But after becoming famous in the World Cup, he has received many invitations from top teams, such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona. I even heard that Chelsea is paying attention to him."

After hearing this, Florentino was not worried, but laughed happily.

"They are all paying attention. That's good. It proves the player's ability and value. The media will also hype and report on it. Such a player is suitable for Real Madrid, isn't he?"

Sanchez nodded, because he knew that old Mr. Francis liked this tune.

"Yang Huan is in South America now. You talk to Ron Gourley first. I'll talk to him when Yang Huan comes back!"

After saying this, Florentino closed the file.

One summer, one superstar.

This year, James Rodriguez is enough!
