Chapter 981 Who do you fancy?

"Florentino, is it that serious?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

As the chairman of the board of directors of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez has absolute power in this top team.

Isn't it just two games that weren't played well? Why are you so scared?

Florentino looked at Master Huan's surprised expression, shook his head helplessly, and sighed with mixed feelings.

"Master Huan, I'm not afraid to tell you frankly that the waters in Real Madrid are very deep."

Yang Huan frowned. He already had a certain understanding of the internal affairs of Real Madrid. There has also been a saying in the outside world that the head coach of Real Madrid does not need to do anything else but to find a way to make the players serve him wholeheartedly, and that will definitely work.

So, over the years, there have been two most successful head coaches for Real Madrid, Bosque and Ancelotti.

Fans who are familiar with them know that these two guys have outstanding tactical abilities, but in terms of locker room control, especially in terms of relationships with players, they are absolutely the best in the world.

This point indirectly confirms the rumors from outside.

But now, listening to Florentino's words, it seems that the outside world has underestimated the internal conflicts of Real Madrid.

"People outside the club don't know the problems inside Real Madrid. Even within the board of directors, there are all kinds of conflicts of interest and voices. Even for me, it is sometimes difficult to fully control them."

Hearing what Florentino said, Yang Huan actually smiled bitterly.

But it’s no wonder. After all, it’s a membership system, so even the most outrageous situations can occur.

Why do I say so?

Take Florentino for example. If he wants to come to power, he needs votes. To get votes, he has to win over board members and some core fans. He must then promise to give them some benefits and power. Otherwise, who will support him?

Oh, just because he can bring superstars to Real Madrid and lead the team to achieve good results?

That's just the fantasy of ordinary fans!

Yang Huan even dared to say that even if an ordinary fan became a director of Real Madrid, he would not be able to control himself.

Because that’s how the system is designed.

Remember Gaspart from Barcelona?

Now, all Barcelona fans call him the worst club president ever.

But more than a decade ago, they didn't say that. They said that Gaspart was the greatest vice president in Barcelona's history, and the president at that time was Nunez, who had been in charge of Barcelona for more than 20 years.

It was also in 2000 that Gaspart finally stepped forward and ran for the presidency of Barcelona. With almost no suspense, he defeated his competitors and became the president of Barcelona.

But just when all Barcelona fans were full of high hopes for this great vice president who had contributed to the club for more than 20 years, hoping that he could lead Barcelona to a revival and become another great and successful president after Nunez, Gaspart led Barcelona into the abyss of despair.

Indecisive, nepotism, poor judgement of people, stubborn and self-willed...

Gaspart became the worst president in Barcelona's history and brought about the darkest and most turbulent period in Barcelona's history, so much so that he could not bear it after only three years in office and resigned.

Ironically, in 2003, lawyer Laporta, in a similar way to how Florentino seduced Figo, called for the introduction of Beckham, played the superstar card, defeated his opponents, was successfully elected, and created the Barcelona Dream Team II dynasty.

When many people reflect on why the Gaspart era was so bad, they either blame the frequent changes of coaches, or Barcelona's historical problems, or the fact that many major teams emerged in La Liga at the time, but Real Madrid was the only dominant one.

But in fact, it all comes down to one reason: internal conflicts of interest!

In order to participate in the election, Gaspart desperately used a method of attracting investment to win over all the directors to his side and support him, so once he was elected, he had to fulfill his promise.

As a result, everyone's son, daughter, sister-in-law, mistresses were all brought into Barcelona, ​​and even many outsiders took control of the core departments of the club.

The reason is simple: they invested in Gaspart's election for the presidency in order to reap the benefits in the future.

If you don't do this, who the hell would support you for no reason?

As for those who say how much they love the team and how eager they are to contribute to the team, anyone who believes them is naive.

As a result, Gaspart's actions led to Barcelona's decline and the club's turmoil. Having been the vice president for more than 20 years, he was completely unable to control the situation.

The same case as Gaspart includes Calderon and Mijatovic of Real Madrid, as well as Laporta, Rosell, and Florentino in front of Yang Huan.

The only difference is that some people are more skilled and can control the situation, while others are led by the interests of all parties.

Now, judging from Florentino's expression, the conflict of interest within Real Madrid must be very serious.

It can even be said that the situation has become so serious that it has affected his control over Real Madrid.

Otherwise, it would be hard for Yang Huan to imagine why a person like Florentino would take the initiative to ask him for help.

So, Yang Huan thought about it and nodded: "Okay, Florentino, how can I help you?"

"Sell me a goalkeeper!" Florentino's face immediately showed joy. If Young Master Huan answered like this, it meant there was hope.

"OK!" Yang Huan nodded in agreement, but then asked, "But who do you like?"

"Oblak."

"Oblak?" Yang Huan of course knew who it was.

Since moving to Hamburg, Oblak has become a hot goalkeeper in the Bundesliga. Last season, he beat several German goalkeepers and won the title of the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga, and even attracted the poaching of Bayern Munich.

Not long ago, Yang Huan personally went to Hamburg to negotiate a contract extension with Oblak.

Both Hamburg and the advisory group around Yang Huan have very high opinions of this goalkeeper, who is also very young.

Yang Huan shook his head, “Florentino, you should know that this is difficult.”

Without waiting for Florentino to say more, Yang Huan added: "Bayern Munich spent a lot of money to recruit Oblak before, but our management team vowed in front of the fans that we would keep Oblak, and he has just renewed his contract with the team. If we sell him to Real Madrid at this time..."

This will probably be criticized by the fans, right?

Florentino could also hear that Yang Huan was rejecting him in disguise.

Of course, what Master Huan said was the truth, and it was indeed quite difficult to deal with, so he couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

Yang Huan thought about it in his mind, and decided that instead of letting Mr. Fu choose, it would be better for him to take the initiative to recommend.

"Florentino, what do you think of Handanovic?"

Florentino shook his head. "Too old. Thirty-one."

Yang Huan was happy in his heart. If you were not old, I would not sell you.

To be honest, Handanovic is still very strong and the goalkeeper is not considered old at 31. If it weren't for Florentino, Yang Huan would definitely not sell him.

"Master Huan, how about Navas?"

"Keylor Navas?" Yang Huan frowned.

This goalkeeper performed quite well in the Champions League last season and was selected into UEFA's best team of the season. Although he finished second to Neuer, everyone knows that Navas' performance was also quite amazing.

Yang Huan almost cursed in his heart, Damn, this is really a bad guy and you still look down on him.

Navas is now 28 years old, which is the golden age for goalkeepers.

"Master Huan, you know, my ultimate goal is De Gea, but this summer, Manchester United will not relent, so we brought in Navas, played for a year or two, and then De Gea came and took over."

Yang Huan remained silent. This player is extremely important to Monaco.

Seeing that Master Huan didn't say anything, Florentino understood in his heart how important a good goalkeeper is to a team.

Neuer of Southampton, Navas of Monaco, Handanovic of Inter Milan, Courtois of Atletico Madrid, and Oblak of Hamburg are all first-tier goalkeepers in Europe, or even the best goalkeepers.

If you let one go, it's not easy to find another one to fill the position.

It's like Real Madrid sold Cristiano Ronaldo. How easy is it to find a replacement superstar?

Many people don’t know and think that Florentino was attracted by the 100 million pounds, but in fact it is not the case.

One of the important reasons why he decided to sell the Portuguese superstar was that the Portuguese became more and more arrogant, frequently going over the heads of higher authorities to force the emperor to step down on club matters, which made Florentino very dissatisfied.

Because Cristiano Ronaldo's behavior is simply to drag him, the detached chairman, into the quagmire of internal struggles within the club.

Nowadays, Real Madrid fans frequently bombard him, and this factor cannot be ruled out.

"Master Huan, 20 million euros, let's buy Navas!"

Twenty million euros is a high price for a 28-year-old goalkeeper, but it is normal if you consider Real Madrid's urgent needs and Navas's outstanding performance last season, which helped Monaco reach the semi-finals.

The question now is not how much Navas will be sold for, but whether a suitable successor can be found.

Time is so tight, where can I find it?

"Master Huan, thank you so much for doing me this favor!" Florentino said in a low voice.

Since a person like him would actively ask for help, Yang Huan had to help him no matter what.

"Okay, 20 million euros, we'll sell it!"

Florentino breathed a sigh of relief, immediately stood up, and shook Master Huan's hand vigorously, "Thank you, thank you Master Huan!"

"Don't be so polite!" Yang Huan smiled. Since he had decided to sell it anyway, he felt relieved.

From the perspective of market value alone, selling Navas for 20 million is really a good deal, and it can even be said to be a big profit.

But if Monaco cannot find a successor as soon as possible, it will have more problems in the new season.

"Then I'll go back first and ask someone to make a phone call and fax the offer. I'll also arrange for someone to contact Navas' agent immediately and get the transfer done tonight!"

Seeing how anxious he was, Yang Huan was actually amused. Was it necessary to be so anxious?

But he still nodded, "Okay, you go and make the arrangements, I'll let you know later."

After saying that, Florentino lost all interest in watching the game and left early.

Yang Huan suddenly lost his mood.

There are two teams on the field, one is the Champions League champion Southampton, and the other is the Europa League champion Inter Milan, both are Yang Huan's teams. This game between the left hand and the right hand should be appreciated.

But suddenly, Florentino did this and ruined Yang Huan's mood.

After finally making it to the end of the game, Southampton defeated Inter Milan 2-0.

Although Klopp's team is very strong and caused a lot of trouble to the Saints in the game, in the final analysis, there is still some gap in strength between them and the Saints.

In this game, Messi also did not appear in the roster, but appeared in the stands.

He will attend the Champions League group stage draw and awards ceremony tomorrow night.

Yang Huan waited until the end of the game and the award ceremony, celebrated with the players of both teams, and immediately called Monaco's Michael Bolingbroke and Jean-Luc Bussing, as well as head coach Ronald Koeman.

They have to think carefully about who will replace Navas!
