When Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi competed for No.1 in football, many fans sighed that there are too few superstars now.Although this has some meaning of thickening the past and thinning the present, it can also be seen how many fans miss the European football from the 90s to the early 21st century.

In addition to those giants, there were many outstanding teams in European football at that time.Just like Lazio, Roma, and Parma in Serie A, as well as Deportivo and Valencia in La Liga, Dortmund, Leverkusen in Bundesliga and other teams.These strong teams are not only powerful in their respective domestic leagues, but even in the European leagues.

But ten years later, there is no dark horse in European football that can perform well in the European arena.In the 03-04 season, the dark horses Porto and Monaco came out, which are the last legends of the dark horses.Because all the player resources have been divided up by the giants and those local tyrants.The dark horse club is no longer capable of hoarding so many good players.

Of course this is not the point.When the heroes were fighting, many strong teams had their own representative superstar players.That is to say, there are many superstars born in the 70s.Among these superstars, the most famous ones are Ronaldo and Zidane.They are representative players among this group of superstar players.

In addition to them, there are many famous players.Like Real Madrid's Raul, Barcelona's Kluivert, Manchester United's Beckham and Keane, Arsenal's Vieira and Overmars, Milan's Shevchenko, Inter Milan's Vieri, Juventus Piero, Fiorentina's Rui Costa, Roma's Totti, Valencia's Mendieta, Deportivo's Rivaldo and Poborski are all the same.

Of course, they are only representative players, and there are not a few players who are as famous as them.Everyone is in the same boat in the current European football.Except for Ronaldo and Zidane, no other player is obviously higher than the others.Although Figo is the golden generation of Portugal and one of the captains of Barcelona, ​​he is not more famous than them.

But when Figo moved to Real Madrid, the sensation caused was unmatched by any news. July 2000, 7: Florentino becomes the new president of Real Madrid with 17 votes, defeating Sanz, who received 16496 votes.Florentino kept his word. Just after he became the chairman of Real Madrid, he immediately stepped up his operations on Figo.

Figo couldn't hold back anymore.Because Florentino and Figo signed a contract initially, that is, once Florentino becomes the chairman of Real Madrid, Figo must transfer to Real Madrid.At that time, no one thought that Florentino could beat Sanz, so Figo and Vega signed the agreement.And got benefits from Florentino.

Figo and Vega thought well at the time.Anyway, Florentino will definitely not be the chairman of Real Madrid, so he will get some benefits first.Then use the relationship with Real Madrid to put pressure on Barcelona.so that they can raise their salaries.What I thought was really beautiful.It's a pity that Florentino defeated Sanz and became the chairman of Real Madrid.

This time Figo panicked.Because that contract is about to come into effect.The liquidated damages were more than 3000 million euros, which was simply not something Figo could afford.Therefore, Figo's agent Vega told Figo that he had only two ways out, one was to transfer to Real Madrid according to the contract, the other was to stay in Barcelona, ​​and Vega went to prison.Figo had no choice in the end.You can't really watch Vega go to jail.If Figo really let Vega go to jail.Vega's style of doing things will certainly not sit still.In the end, Figo could only agree to come to Real Madrid.

But it doesn't matter whether Figo is willing or not.Anyway, this transfer happened.Champions League?European Championship?At this time, these things are not as shocking as Figo's transfer to Real Madrid.

Now who cares about the Champions League and the European Cup.There is only one thing everyone cares about, and that is Figo.Florentino's shot was really unambiguous.Just like when he re-became the chairman of Real Madrid in 09, he used a series of transfers to completely cover up the news of Barcelona's six-time champion.Florentino shot.Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on Real Madrid.

"Jaime, look. This is courage, Florentino's courage. European football is about to start surging. One superstar a year, Florentino is going to disrupt the entire European football. How can there be so many The superstar let Florentino introduce."

Riester held up the newspaper in his hand and shook it at Otti.When introducing Figo, Florentino said he wanted to build the best club in the 21st century.And guarantee to Real Madrid members that Real Madrid will introduce a superstar player every year in the future.

Otti shook his head and said: "Riste, we are no match for Florentino. He has great strength in the business and political circles, and now he has become the chairman of Real Madrid. In Spain and in Madrid, he really commands the wind and rain."

Indeed.Although Florentino does not have a lot of money, he is also a billionaire.The acs group company under his leadership also has assets of nearly 20 billion euros and is the largest construction group company in spain.Before becoming the chairman of ACS Group, Florentino had been working hard in the political circle.During the transition period from Franco's dictatorship to democratic politics, Florentino followed the trend of the times and joined the right-wing party, the Center Democratic Alliance, and gradually became a man of the hour, once a member of Madrid.

Such qualifications allow him to have huge contacts in the Spanish political and business circles.Later, Florentino was able to call the shots in European football, not just because he was the chairman of Real Madrid.His construction group company has a very good relationship with major banks in Spain.Therefore, a lot of the money that Real Madrid buys superstars comes from bank loans.

After Calderon became the chairman of Real Madrid, he had no connections in this regard.Therefore, he talked with Manchester United several times about the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, but it was a pity that Calderon was unable to raise so much money at once.If it is Florentino, Real Madrid will not be able to turn around for a while, and some banks are willing to cooperate with him.This is the difference in connections.Calderon is a lawyer. Although his strength is not too bad, he is just a lawyer, and he cannot compare with a tycoon like Florentino who owns the number one construction group in Europe.That's why Mendes terminated the negotiations with him.

"Jaime, I have contacted Florentino. He is not Sanz. He will bring new changes to Real Madrid. You have to be prepared."

"Ha ha."

Otti shook his head, then sighed: "I have already seen it. Mark Roger found me, and Makelele hopes to transfer to Real Madrid."

"Mark Roger? This buddy is a difficult buddy."

Ottie nodded.Then he said fiercely: "Florentino thought beautifully. Real Madrid just poached Mijatovic from us a few years ago, and now he dares to trade with us. Even if I sell it to anyone, I will not sell it to anyone." Real Madrid."

Listening to Ottie's words, Rist laughed.Rist shook his head and said, "Jaime, business is still going on. If you don't do business, I can guarantee that Mark Roger will turn Valencia upside down. And look at Florentino's appearance , he is not stingy. If Makelele is poached, he must pay enough transfer fee."

Ottie looked at Rist suspiciously.Could it be that Rist came here to be a lobbyist for himself?Seeing Ottie's appearance, Rist laughed out loud.Then he said: "Jaime, I'm not a lobbyist. Mark Roger, you should know that since he talked to you about this issue, he will definitely have a follow-up move. Although it is good to stay, it is not good for the team. Good. Makelele is not Lopez, and Mark Roger is not Lopez's agent. They will not stay obediently for a season like Lopez. It will be bad for the club if there is trouble."

Ottie heaved a long sigh after listening to Rist's words.Mark Roger is famous in European football, of course he is definitely notorious.Compared with Mark Roger, Riester's reputation is many times better.

"But Rist, we claim to be the top four defensive midfielders this season. If Makelele continues to transfer, then we will only have Albelda. Even if Baraja is introduced, we still have problems in this position."

"That's what I want to tell you."

Rist put down the newspaper in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Since Real Madrid is interested in Makelele, of course it should be slaughtered. Real Madrid has a very good midfielder, an Argentine player. Esteban Cambiasso, do you know?"

"Cambiasso? He was the Argentine midfielder in the 97 World Youth Championship."

Ottie is a half-way monk, but because he is a half-way monk, he works harder than anyone else.He will work hard to collect information on many young players.So I still know a lot of people.

Rister nodded and said: "Jaime, Cambiasso is very good. He is only 20 years old this year, and he already has the strength to gain a foothold in the top European teams. But because he is in Real Madrid, he can only be re-loaned to Argentina. When negotiating, you not only want a high price, but also let Real Madrid add Cambiasso. With Cambiasso, plus Baraja, Albelda, Mendieta, Ronaldinho in front , Vicente, Angulo and others, Valencia's midfield strength has not declined."

Ottie didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it. Thank you, Rist."

"No, Jaime. You are for Valencia, and I am for my coach and players. Although our goals are different, the final result is still the same."

"kindness."

Rist had already thought of it.Mark Roger was so active in currying favor with Florentino, of course he hoped to make money.Makelele's main defensive midfielder for Valencia's Champions League champions, of course he was brought to Real Madrid.Only when you arrive at Real Madrid can you really make a lot of money.

"Yes, Jaime. I want to ask, your club has no other ideas about the back line. Your back line is too old. If there is an idea to change the back line, I have many good players to introduce to you. .”

"Okay, Rist. I have too many things to do now, and I will definitely find you when I need it." (To be continued...)
