All-around center

The entire internal meeting lasted for more than two hours, of which Mourinho spent one and a half hours arguing with others.

After all, he is active on the front line and is younger. Mourinho's thinking is quick and compared to those old men, he is simply eloquent and makes them blush.

After an argument, it failed to have a critical effect. On the contrary, it was suppressed miserably.

Finally, he raised his chin proudly like a winner, snorted heavily, and then sat down again.

The entire conference room was extremely quiet.

The two-hour meeting was really tiring!

Even Florentino was rubbing his eyebrows, looking like he had a headache.

Su Ke shook his head secretly, a group of decision-makers, why should they tell others, just make a decision.

You have to do this kind of formal thing, and then you can't argue with the other party.

There is no guilt but no guilt!

"That's it for today's meeting."

Florentino spoke up, and everyone else stood up.

Suk also stood up and prepared to leave.

When he stood up, he saw Florentino looking at him too, tapping his chin.

Su Ke pretended not to notice and turned around to leave.

"Suke! Stay!"

Florentino spoke up; "Let's talk about your loyalty bonus!"

Suk grinned.

What's there to talk about in black and white? It's just to find a reason to leave yourself behind.

Seeing that he could no longer leave, Suk could only stay.

During this period, Mourinho glanced at himself, but Su Kequan pretended not to see it.

After everyone left, only Su Ke and Florentino were left in the conference room.

"Your loyalty award will be given out after the end of this season!"

Su Ke was surprised, is this talking about the loyalty award?

Moreover, he remembered that the loyalty award will be given out when the contract is renewed next time after five years of service.

This is only the third year and bonuses are being given?

Is the boss so generous?

"Of course it's not for free!" Florentino continued.

This is right!

If it was given for free, he really wouldn't dare accept it.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or theft!

Suk nodded and said, "You say it!"

Florentino: "As for the new salary issue that Zoranci negotiated with us, we agreed!"

Su Ke was surprised: "Agree?"

This time, Su Ke's salary offer was a full 30 million euros!

Su Ke tried; "I'm talking about after-tax!"

Florentino nodded; "Of course!"

Seeing Florentino nod in approval, Su Ke breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "So, what are your conditions?"

"When new contracts are signed, they are often extended for five years! At the same time, the liquidated damages are adjusted to 500 million euros!"

Su Ke thought for a while, and he had no intention of leaving Real Madrid in the next five years. He couldn't help but nodded, and then asked, "Do you really believe in me? What if my condition suddenly affects my crotch?"

Florentino looked up; "Can you?"

Suk shrugged: "Of course not!"

Florentino nodded: "Call Zoranci over sometime and we'll sign a new contract!"

"So anxious?" Su Ke was surprised.

Shouldn't you wait until the season is over before signing?

Florentino glanced at Su Ke and said nothing.

Suk smiled, stood up and left.

Looking at Su Ke's leaving figure, Florentino sighed slightly.

It's not that others are stupid and have too much money, it's mainly that they heard some scary news.

Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, these two big dogs seem to be really planning to spend money!

He even didn't hesitate to pay a sky-high contract price and pay Su Ke's liquidated damages.

At present, Su Ke's liquidated damages are only 200 million!

Three years ago, this was considered a large amount of money, and the liquidated damages were enough to scare people to death.

But now, with Ronaldo's transfer fee of 100 million pounds, the entire transfer market has expanded dramatically.

In the past, a transfer fee of 50 million was already a king-level value that broke through the history of transfers!

What about now?

Want to buy a star player for 50 million?

Totally impossible!

If Suker is really interested in that sky-high salary, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain really dare to pay the liquidated damages!

Moreover, Suker's fifth Golden Globe Award is almost certain!

If Suker loses his spirit and wants to seek a higher salary, or plays in other leagues out of novel ideas, this is something Florentino doesn't want to see.

To do this, he needs to prevent this from happening in advance.

Two hundred million is not enough insurance!

Moreover, Su Ke's performance is enough to increase his salary, and then use the new contract as an excuse to impose a liquidated damages of 500 million on Su Ke!

If Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain dare to pay this money, Florentino dares to take them to court for violating the Financial Fair Play Act.

"agreed?"

Zolanqi's shocked voice came from the phone.

He was discussing a project in Germany when he suddenly received a call from Su Ke. He didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

"That's after tax. Did Mr. Perez hear wrongly?"

"Yes, it's after tax, I confirmed it!"

Zolanqi was a little sluggish.

Bargaining, it was just for bargaining in the first place, and I deliberately came up with such a high salary.

Who would have thought that Florentino wouldn't counter-offer at all!

"Damn it! You should call him less!" Zolanqi lamented: "You should call him 50 million yuan after tax!"

Suk rolled his eyes, that's all.

It is really difficult for Real Madrid to break through 30 million euros. This is the tradition that Real Madrid adheres to.

Of course, if Suker continues to perform at a high level, he may ask Real Madrid to modify this rule.

It depends on his ability!

"How was your discussion over there?" Suk asked.

Zoranci went to Germany for an endorsement deal with Suker.

"We didn't reach an agreement!" Zolanqi sighed; "They can't afford our asking price!"

"Then let's not talk about it!" Su Ke is open to this, and it's not like he is begging the other party to endorse him. If he can't afford the price, then he will find another one. Anyway, there are many brands looking for Su Ke to endorse.

"I had the same idea, so I planned to go to France and then Italy, but something suddenly happened here, and I had to take the evening flight back."

Su Ke; "Is there any big move regarding my transfer recently?"

Every season, there are still some tentative transfer offers for Suker.

In today's European football, those tycoons from the Middle East are poor and have only money left.

"I also heard some news. I didn't think it was true at the time, but now combined with Mr. Perez's behavior, it is probably true!" Zoranci said; "Both Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are raising funds. I This time I went to Paris, and I was invited by Nasser, the executive chairman of Paris Saint-Germain.”

"Nasser?" Suk blinked: "Are you sure you're not disgusting with Real Madrid?"

Since their contact with Ancelotti was broken, it is normal for Nasser to feel revengeful.

"Probably not!" Zoranci shook his head; "It is indeed these fund transfers, otherwise Mr. Perez would not suddenly agree."

Having said this, Zolanci asked; "Then should I still go to Paris?"

Suk rolled his eyes: "Go! Why not go! It's best to be caught by the media!"

Zolanqi was stunned for a moment.

Su Ke smiled and said, "I want to take back my portrait rights this time!"

Zuolanqi laughed dumbly.

"Understood!"

Su Ke hung up the phone, walked out of the office building refreshed, and bumped into Mourinho.

"coach?"

Su Ke was stunned for a moment.

Mourinho was leaning against the wall, smoking.

Seeing Suk, he threw down the cigarette butt and crushed it gently with his foot.

"Are you going to train?" Mourinho asked.

Suk nodded; "I'm about to go!"

"Go!" Mourinho said slowly: "Don't affect your condition!"

When Suker turned around, Mourinho suddenly said: "You know, I didn't do this really because of conflicts. I don't think I did anything wrong!"

Suk blinked and nodded; "Yes! You are right!"

The core point of conflict in this issue is transfer rights!

Regarding this issue, there is no so-called right or wrong, it is nothing more than a battle of interests.

Moreover, even in today's messy locker room relationship, Mourinho still plays a role in providing the best tactical guarantee for the team.

Watching Suker leave, Mourinho took out another cigarette from his pocket.

These are two cigarettes he borrowed from the staff. He has quit smoking for a long time.

But sometimes, he couldn't bear the pressure and wanted to take a sip.

Nicotine is inhaled into the lungs along the throat, which relieves the irritable mood.

Mourinho stood by the wall of the office building, smoking silently.

After taking the last puff, Mourinho stamped out the cigarette butt again, turned to look at the office building, and spat.

"Bah! What a bunch of bandits!"

Cursing lightly, Mourinho turned and left.

In the Real Madrid dressing room, Casillas rarely looked extremely happy.

Perhaps Mourinho was reprimanded by the board of directors, or perhaps Casillas felt that someone was finally going to stand up for him during this internal meeting.

Moreover, Casillas could tell that this time the board of directors was completely pissed off.

Mourinho is leaving!

Casillas was a little carried away and couldn't hold back the joy on his lips.

Suk looked at Casillas and couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

Is this the same Casillas from three years ago?

Casillas was still normal at the time, but three years later, this guy seemed to have become stupid.

Mourinho was indeed reprimanded.

But what Casillas didn't know was that he was not far away from leaving.

Casillas was not mentioned throughout the meeting.

No one even said a word about him, which was weird in itself.

To rebuke Mourinho, the most important thing is to restore Casillas' reputation.

At the very least, Casillas should be reinstated as captain, so that he can more effectively disgust and suppress Mourinho.

But the board of directors did not do this, as if Casillas did not exist.

With this attitude, there are only two explanations.

First, Casillas knows this and has been serving as a gun to the board of directors from beginning to end, so the board of directors does not need to mention this matter specifically.

Judging from Casillas' previous state, this is simply impossible!

Just being a big-mouthed Sara will destroy not only your personal reputation, but also the reputation of the club.

If it is planned by the board of directors, they will not harm their own interests.

From this point of view, there is only the second explanation.

That is, Real Madrid gave up Casillas, and there is no need to mention it specifically.

In other words, Casillas is finished!

The next day, Real Madrid was ready to go to Manchester City in the UK for the second round of the Champions League group stage.

They will face Manchester City away!

Mourinho remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, Casillas was not even included in the big list.

Mourinho would rather take the third goalkeeper than Casillas.

However, the relationship between Ramos and Mourinho eased a little.

This has to start with their private conversation.

On the plane, Ramos was flanked by Suker and Kaka, and the six people in front and behind were Benzema, Marcelo, Di Maria, Srna, Arbeloa, and Bale.

These people are all famous gossip lovers in Real Madrid.

"Tell me!" Suker bumped Ramos with his shoulder; "What did you talk about yesterday?"

Ramos had to smile bitterly: "You guys are so gossipy?"

Suker; "When you two came back, you looked like you had forgiven each other."

Marcelo added; "You were just holding hands when you came back!"

Ramos shook his head and sighed; "It's not a big deal. The coach assured me that he only had a personal conflict with Igor and it has nothing to do with other players. He will not suppress Spanish local players in the future."

Suker; "Do you believe what he said?"

Ramos sighed; "What can I do if I don't believe it? Can I continue to quarrel with him? This is not good for us all!"

Kaka nodded; "Yes, quarrels are not good for all of us."

Benzema: "So you admit defeat?"

"Not admit defeat." Ramos glared at Benzema: "It's not nice to say that. I just don't want to continue to cause chaos in the locker room. After all, after all, I am the captain now!"

Snap! ! ! !

Suker patted Ramos' back hard: "Finally it looks good!"

Ramos smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked at Suker, pursed his lips, and said, "Igor"

Suke waved his hand to interrupt: "Just be your captain!"

This sentence was already an answer.

Ramos could only sigh.

In the afternoon, Real Madrid arrived in Manchester City.

The moment they arrived at the airport, almost all the reporters in England were mobilized.

The most gossipy place in the world must be these British reporters. They want to find out all the gossip. If they can't find out, they will make it up.

Mourinho knew the nature of these British reporters very well, so he ordered the players not to accept any interviews. They didn't even appear at the airport passage, but took a car in the underground parking lot and left the airport quietly.

Almost all reporters were avoided along the way. When entering the hotel, the reporters were also blocked outside the hotel.

This made these reporters very annoyed. They shouted that they were reporters and had the right to interview.

But Mourinho said, "We have the right not to accept interviews."

When it comes to dealing with British reporters, Mourinho is definitely good at it. After all, he and the entire British reporters were acquainted with each other. Mourinho has also done such feats as banning the media.

Under Mourinho's eagle-protecting-chicken action, Real Madrid was not disturbed at all and arrived at the hotel safely.

After arriving at the hotel and checking in, Mourinho asked the players to gather in the conference room.

They simply repeated the tactical gist!

Manchester City, full name Manchester City, also known as the Blue Moon!

This is a football force that cannot be ignored in Manchester, England. In the past, the most famous in this city was Carrington No. 9.

In the heyday of Manchester United, Manchester City was not even a noisy neighbor.

Even Manchester United disdained to regard them as derby opponents.

At that time, the Manchester City derby was not very famous, far less prominent than the Red Devils and the Gunners.

But with the arrival of local tycoons, Manchester City's rise is visible to the naked eye.

In the past, a team could not gather a star.

Now it can be said that there are stars all over the world!

Argentina's two great strikers, Aguero and Tevez, both play here.

Italian rising star Balotelli also plays here.

David Silva and Nasri are in the midfield.

There is also the strongest B2B Yaya Toure.

Dzeko, Kompany, and Joe Hart are also the mainstays.

Manchester City today can no longer be underestimated!

Listening to Mourinho's explanation, Suk was also thinking about the strength of Manchester City's lineup.

The strength on paper is very high, and all kinds of running-in are also good.

However, the competitive level and the ability to compete in major competitions are still to be discovered.

But overall, it is more threatening than Dortmund.

Dortmund's current completion is not high, especially in the first Champions League game.

Dortmund is strong in their learning ability and growth speed.

As the Champions League journey is extended, they will continue to grow and become stronger.

But Manchester City is now more complete, and Real Madrid must be cautious when facing them at this time.

"Manchester City needs to be careful of many players, but compared to the striker, Yaya Toure is their strongest core player. He has a strong body, technology and offensive ability. Not only can he advance in the frontcourt, he can also retreat and then dribble forward to advance significantly!"

"And there is a creative midfielder named David Silva next to Yaya Toure. Compared with Yaya Toure, he relies more on passing and connecting with the forwards. He has a keen sense of space, especially with Yaya Toure's impact, they can suddenly kick out a through run or Silva sends a through ball!"

"All this requires us to strengthen our sense of distance, stand in our position, and don't give the opponent any forward space!"

Mourinho had just finished speaking when Benzema raised his hand and said, "Coach, are we still playing defensive counterattacks in this game?"

Mourinho turned his head; "Do you have any better suggestions?"

Benzema smiled and shook his head; "No. I'm just asking!"

Mourinho narrowed his eyes slightly: "I know what you are thinking, but in my team, I can only play my tactics. At least I am still the head coach of Real Madrid, so you have to follow my tactical guidelines to complete the game!"

"I can guarantee that as long as you play out the tactical points I drew, we can easily win the game!"
