Chapter 236 Real Madrid fans drink wine and discuss heroes, who will be the next Galacticos?
I have to say that Raiola chose a very good time.
He had just arrived in Madrid when news came from Real Madrid that Ronaldo was transferring to AC Milan.
The alien is originally a glass man. Ever since he became famous, he has suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Last season at Real Madrid, he was constantly injured and missed nearly 20 league games.
Frequent injuries, declining form and his expensive salary made Real Madrid executives consider sending him away.
The change of Real Madrid president this summer has further accelerated this process.
Real Madrid has always been decisive in cleaning out old players and takes action as soon as it says so. AC Milan, on the other hand, is short of a striker because it sold Shevchenko.
Ronaldo has proven his ability in Serie A. Although he is prone to injuries, everything can be negotiated as long as the price is right.
In order to get rid of old players like Ronaldo who occupied positions in the team and salary space, Real Madrid did not set up too many obstacles in the transfer.
The price they offered to AC Milan was very cheap. It only took 1500 million euros to take away the world's number one player that Real Madrid had spent 4500 million euros to buy.
AC Milan was immediately attracted after hearing the offer.
Ronaldinho was born in 1976 and just turned 30 this year. He is only ten days older than Shevchenko.
Shevchenko's transfer to Chelsea added 4500 million euros to AC Milan's account. If Milan could buy a top striker who is just as capable as Shevchenko, or even stronger, but only costs 1500 million, then this would be a net profit of 3000 million!
Thinking of this, AC Milan immediately sent people over for contact and negotiation.
The two sides had a very pleasant talk and on August 8, both sides announced the news on their respective official websites.
Although Ronaldo's transfer fee was not high, the transfer caused a sensation in the entire football world.
That's the alien Ronaldo!
Many fans grew up watching him play football and have regarded him as their idol since childhood.
Although Ronaldo's form has declined in recent years and he is no longer the world's number one.
But thanks to his huge fan base around the world and his terrifying fan filter, news involving him can easily make the front page headlines of major newspapers around the world.
Milan fans were naturally delighted when they heard the news:
"Haha, aliens have come to Milan. It looks like Milan will do something big next season!"
“Haha, the team next door also lacks a striker, but the alien did not go to Inter Milan, but chose Milan!”
"It shows that in the eyes of these top stars, AC Milan is much better than Inter Milan!"
Since Ronaldo had played for Inter Milan for a long time, but he did not choose Inter Milan when he returned to Serie A, Milan fans were very proud.
So what if Inter Milan won the league title last season?
Isn't it still less attractive to top stars than to us?
"With the addition of aliens, we can fight for the league and Champions League this season!"
The final verdict of the Calciopoli scandal has come out. Compared to the main culprit Juventus, the punishment suffered by AC Milan is not particularly severe.
The penalty they suffered was a 30-point deduction last season and an 8-point deduction this season.
Since Juventus was ordered to be relegated, even though AC Milan was deducted 30 points last season, it was still able to rank third in the league.
Although the third place team cannot directly qualify for the Champions League, they can participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers next season.
With AC Milan's strength, it should be easy for them to beat their opponents in the qualifying round.
So after the verdict came out, everyone at AC Milan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as we can retain the Champions League in the new season, everything will be fine.
It was precisely because of the final result that AC Milan dared to spend money on buying players in the transfer market.
Last season, they lost to Barcelona in the Champions League and failed to make it to the final.
This season I must return to the final and take revenge, and it would be even better if the opponent in the final is Liverpool!
As for this season's Serie A, AC Milan was deducted fewer points than expected.
Starting with a minus-8 points might be quite hopeless for other teams, but it's only a mere eight points.
They have 38 games to make up for the gap, so after learning the final trial result, Milan fans even arrogantly said: AC Milan will succeed in both the league and the Champions League this season and win the double championship to show everyone.
Inter Milan seemed quite calm and even disdainful of the AC Milan fans' enthusiasm.
The alien did not contact AC Milan at first, but Inter Milan, but Inter Milan declined him for various reasons, so in the final analysis, the alien was just someone Inter Milan didn't want.
I don’t know why AC Milan fans are so excited?
If it was the alien from five years ago, fans of Inter Milan and even the entire Serie A would probably be quite afraid of him, because he can really change the outcome with his personal strength.
But the alien, who is about to turn 30, no longer has the strength he once had.
With the increase of age and the accumulation of injuries, the alien has seen a significant decline in both speed and explosiveness.
In addition, frequent injuries and breaks have seriously affected his personal competitive state, resulting in a significant decline in the alien's performance on the court in recent years.
If Milan is more sensible and focuses on the Champions League, it may gain something.
But if they want to take all the suicidal options, they are really seeking death.
The alien's transfer to AC Milan will affect not only AC Milan and Serie A, but also Real Madrid and La Liga.
Many Real Madrid fans couldn't help but sigh after learning that the aliens were sent away:
"Figo is gone, Zidane has retired, and now even aliens have returned to Serie A. The Galacticos have really come to an end!"
"Alas, we will never see Real Madrid field a wall of 100 million people on the field again!"
During the first phase of the Galacticos, Real Madrid's lineup was unprecedentedly luxurious.
In every game, the combined value of any few players forming the human wall would exceed 100 million euros, so it is nicknamed the 100 million human wall by fans.
A reporter once captured a photo in which a wall of people included seven Real Madrid stars: Raul, Figo, Beckham, Ronaldo, Zidane, Elguera and Guti.
The combined worth of these people alone is more than 100 million euros, even over 200 million euros!
So when talking about Galaxy Battleship, everyone’s first impression is the shining stars.
Let’s not talk about whether this lineup is strong or not, but it is definitely full of star power!
"Don't be so pessimistic. As long as Real Madrid is still around, there will be a second, third or fourth Galactico sooner or later!"
As the most successful and famous club on the planet, Real Madrid does have the confidence to say such things.
With hundreds of millions of euros in commercial sponsorship and broadcasting revenue every year, Real Madrid has strong financial resources to spend money on the market to buy the stars they like. The decline of the first generation of the Galacticos is simply because these big-name stars are getting older and their strength has declined.
Once Real Madrid has found enough young stars, the new Galactico will naturally be born!
"Guess what, if there is a second Galaxy Battleship, which players will be on the team?"
Real Madrid fans, whose appetites have been spoiled by top stars, have very high standards.
They require players who have outstanding abilities, good looks, temperament and image, and who are also the best in today's football world in their respective positions.
Apart from these people, ordinary stars are not even in their eyes.
"Milan's No. 22 is good, he has strong strength and a good image, his smile is sunny and healing, and his playing style is also pleasing to the eye. I think he will definitely have a place in the next Galaxy Battleship!"
"I vote for Kaka too. If the new generation of Galaxy Battleship doesn't have Kaka, it doesn't deserve to be called the Galaxy Battleship!"
"Manchester United's No. 8 is not bad either. He is only 21 years old, but he has already secured his place as Manchester United's main striker and is scoring goals like crazy. I think he will replace Ronaldo and become the battering ram of the next Galaxy Battleship!"
"Rooney is indeed good, but the strongest player in the No. 8 position should be the one at Inter Milan!"
"I vote for Lin Feng too. This guy is younger than Rooney, but he is more dominant on the court than Rooney."
Everyone was talking at once, discussing all the rising stars in today's football world, even Messi, the youth training gem of their arch-rivals next door.
Some Real Madrid fans are even fantasizing: Florentino was able to use a conspiracy to lure Figo away from Barcelona, so can't the new president Calderon do the same and lure Messi away as well?
Real Madrid fans felt secretly happy when they thought that the talented players that Barcelona had worked hard to cultivate for many years were finally abducted by Real Madrid, while they could only feel helpless and furious.
"No one has mentioned Manchester United's No. 7? I have been following this Portuguese player for a long time. He has made great progress in the past two seasons. I think he will become a top star in the future!"
In a corner where no one noticed, the shouts of Ronaldo's fans were drowned out by the waves of fans' quarrels and did not cause any waves at all.
It can only be said that the current Cristiano Ronaldo is still far from being a real top star in terms of influence.
……
“Did the alien really join Milan?”
Lin Feng knew that Ronaldo would return to Serie A and join Milan.
But I didn’t expect it to be so early!
He had the impression that the alien only came back during the winter transfer window. The specific reason seemed to be a conflict with head coach Capello. In the end, Real Madrid Club chose to support Capello between the two and sent Ronaldo away.
Since the transfer was made during the winter break, the alien was unable to represent AC Milan in the Champions League, so he was not seen in the Champions League final that year.
That year, AC Milan relied on Kaka to lead a group of old, weak and sick people, miraculously overcame all obstacles, and finally successfully took revenge on Liverpool and won the Champions League trophy.
But now, the butterfly effect has appeared.
The aliens' transfer was actually brought forward!
He had already transferred before the start of the new season, which means that the alien can play not only in the league but also in the Champions League in the new season.
Although the alien, who has gained weight and slowed down, has begun to degenerate into the direction of Fat Ronaldo, if he can control his injuries and condition, his joining will greatly strengthen AC Milan and at least help Kaka share a large part of the pressure.
Since Inter Milan's main goal in the new season is also the Champions League, AC Milan is destined to become an obstacle on Inter Milan's road to the championship, and may even be the biggest obstacle.
This made Lin Feng alert!
And with the accumulation of the butterfly effect, this kind of situation will probably become more and more frequent in the future.
Maybe there will be jaw-dropping things like Ronaldo going to Barcelona and Messi going to Real Madrid!
The alien's departure is obviously a good thing for Ibrahimovic.
After cleaning out a large number of veterans, Calderon freed up a large salary space for Real Madrid.
Selling veterans naturally means bringing in new players. Although Ibrahimovic is not Real Madrid's first consideration, Real Madrid obviously will not refuse the joining of a talented player like him.
Raiola originally just wanted to use Real Madrid's name as a banner to lure other teams into the trap.
Unexpectedly, I succeeded in selling Ibrahimovic.
After some discussions with the sports director of Real Madrid Club, the two sides reached a preliminary agreement.
But whether the transfer will be successful depends on Real Madrid's subsequent signings.
Calderon promised during his campaign that if the fans voted for him, he would bring AC Milan's Kaka to the Bernabeu.
Calderon said it and did it.
Before the summer transfer window opened, he had already sent someone to contact Kaka's agent. He even took time out to meet the player in person and invited Kaka in person during the Brazilian team's preparations for the World Cup.
But what Calderon did not expect was that Kaka and his father responded coldly to Real Madrid's invitation.
Kaka seemed determined to stay in Milan and didn't want to go anywhere else. Even Calderon's generous salary could not impress him.
Seeing that the player route was not working, Calderon had no choice but to change his mind. After the summer transfer window opened, he made an offer directly to AC Milan, bypassing the player and starting with the club.
As long as Real Madrid's offer impresses AC Milan, they will do some ideological work on Kaka and persuade him to join Real Madrid.
Historically, Real Madrid has done just that and succeeded.
AC Milan did not resist the temptation and sold Kaka to Real Madrid without his knowledge.
And Shevchenko's successful transfer to Chelsea seems to prove that this operation is feasible.
It's just a matter of spending a little more money!
So, Real Madrid sold the alien to AC Milan at a lower price to gain AC Milan's favor, and at the same time made a very sincere offer of 5000 million euros to AC to buy Kaka!
But to their surprise, such a sky-high contract still failed to impress AC Milan!
AC Milan’s response was very short: Kaka is not for sale!
Calderon's idea was good, but it seemed a little early to make this plan in 2006.
Because now AC Milan has a deep obsession with the Champions League from top to bottom. Before the team realizes its dream of winning the Champions League, they will never do something like letting Kaka go and destroying their own Great Wall.
