Legendary Godfather

Office of the President, Ciudad Sports Center Valdebebas, Madrid, Spain.

Real Madrid's senior executives are gathered here.

Florentino quietly looked at general manager Jose Angel Sanchez, public relations director Butraguero and others in front of him, and then looked at Real Madrid coach Zidane opposite!

Yes, the current head coach of Real Madrid is still Zidane!

Zidane was originally the over-coach who took over after Benitez was fired last season, but in the end Real Madrid executives retained Zidane and allowed him to stay on.

Originally, the Spanish media and Real Madrid fans would have thought that Zidane would be replaced.

Because last season, Zidane's performance in leading the team was not good, and he did not lead the team to win the UEFA Champions League championship as Tong Yi remembered. Tong Yi remembers that Zidane was originally an over-coach. It was precisely because he led Tianhu to the start and led the team to win the UEFA Champions League that he was able to sit as the head coach of Real Madrid and then lead Real Madrid. Started three consecutive European championships.

Unfortunately, his dominance has been blocked by Tong Yi before it even started.

Last season's Champions League title was eventually won by Crystal Palace.

That's why everyone thought Zidane would be replaced.

Who knows, Zidane is still sitting as the head coach of Real Madrid. It is said that Real Madrid has signed a three-year contract with him.

In other words, Real Madrid will be coached by Zidane for the next three years, provided that he is not dismissed.

Now that Real Madrid is holding a signing meeting, head coach Zidane will naturally be present.

Florentino looked at everyone and then asked directly, "What do you think of Balotelli? Can Real Madrid introduce him?"

Yes, Florentino is interested in Balotelli of Crystal Palace.

Balotelli has been a genius since he was a child. He was trained by Inter Milan as Adriano's successor and the new king of Inter Milan. And when he debuted, he followed Mourinho and won the UEFA Champions League championship and the Serie A Triple Crown with Inter Milan, which is very high.

Later, Balotelli followed his mentor Mancini to move to Manchester City. Although he did not meet everyone's expectations at Manchester City, when his mind was normal, his performance on the court was still very good, and he could be seen at a glance. of his talent.

It's a pity that this guy was too maverick when he was in Manchester City. He had a problem with his brain. In the end, he did not reach the height that everyone expected. He was then sent back to Italy and joined AC Milan. In AC Milan, this guy is gradually becoming normal, and there are signs of recovery. He is performing well in AC Milan.

Then he was spotted by Liverpool and brought back to England. Liverpool trained him as the next Torres. It's a pity that this guy only scored 4 goals in a season and only 1 goal in 18 Premier League games, which is very disappointing. Everyone thought that Ba

Lotelli would be returned to Liverpool by Liverpool, but who knew that this guy Tong Yi would come out halfway and take Balotelli into his own pocket.

Then, Balotelli had a big breakout at Crystal Palace last season!

Balotelli was not Crystal Palace's regular until Ignacio's injury. But in the limited time, he still delivered a good goal efficiency. Later, after Ignacio was seriously injured, Balotelli was supported by Tong Yi and became the main center of Crystal Palace. This time he was out of control. !

In last season, Balotelli scored 32 goals in a single season with Crystal Palace and scored 10 goals in the Champions League, second only to their Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid. What's more, Balotelli left Cristiano Ronaldo because he scored twice in the Champions League final, leading his team to beat Atletico Madrid and win last season's UEFA Champions League title!

Now not only Real Madrid is optimistic about him, Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal are also optimistic about Balotelli, and even Manchester City wants to get Balotelli back!

Sanchez pondered for a while before saying, "If he has his right mind, he is still a top center!"

Butragueno smiled bitterly.

Although what Sanchez said doesn't sound so nice, it is indeed the truth.

Of course, Florentino also knows about Balotelli. Hearing this, he also nodded slightly.

Then, everyone turned to look at Zidane!

After all, Zidane is now the head coach of Real Madrid, so we still need to ask his opinion.

At present, Florentino and others still pay more attention to Zidane's views.

After all, you don’t need to be suspicious of others!

Since they chose Zidane at this time, they naturally want to support Zidane!

After all, Zidane has just taken over the team at this time, so he should support him.

Seeing these big guys looking at him, Zidane pondered for a while!

To be honest, he is not very optimistic about Balotelli!

This is not to say that Balotelli's performance last season couldn't impress him. He also thinks Balotelli is very powerful, at least last season.

However, Real Madrid has no shortage of centers now!

If Balotelli comes to Real Madrid, he will definitely not be willing to play as a substitute.

Otherwise, Balotelli might as well stay at Crystal Palace.

However, Real Madrid's current main center is Benzema!

Benzema is Zidane’s French compatriot.

Danne naturally wants to side with Benzema.

Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo's playing position is becoming more and more central. Now he is almost playing as a center. Benzema is about to be squeezed into playing as an attacking midfielder or a winger. There is no room for Barlow. Terry!

Is Balotelli willing to come on as a substitute for these two?

Not realistic!

Therefore, Zidane is not in favor of introducing Balotelli.

However, Zidane saw that Florentino was interested in bringing in Balotelli.

Maybe he was moved by Balotelli's performance last season, or maybe he was moved by the buzz after introducing Balotelli. Anyway, Florentino is interested in Balotelli now.

After pondering for a long time, Zidane said, "Judging from last season's performance, Balotelli has indeed matured a lot and is very powerful. However, our club has Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema. Lotelli probably won’t be willing to come over and replace the two of them!”

Having said this, Zidane also felt a little uneasy.

Because, Real Madrid now has opinions and views on Benzema and Ronaldo. They all feel that these two people are old, and even the BBC combination is old. Some people think that the BBC team is still worth some money now, and they should take action now to replace a group of younger and more talented stars.

Anyway, Zidane does not recommend replacement.

He feels that Real Madrid's BBC combination is the best attacking combination in the world, and there is no need to change it at all.

However, in Real Madrid, Zidane’s words don’t count!

Zidane looked at these big guys weakly, praying in his heart.

At this time, Butragueno suddenly said, "I think what Zinedine said is quite reasonable. Balotelli has no place when he comes. And I also think Ronaldo and Benzema are not old and are now playing At the peak, they can stay at the peak for at least two or three years. We can continue to use Benzema and the others now, and then continue to observe Balotelli by the way. In the next two seasons, he can still have similar performance as last season. Performance, it would be good if we win him again. After all, Balotelli was only 27 years old at that time, still very young!"

Florentino nodded slightly, feeling that Butragueno was wrong.

It is actually possible to observe Balotelli for another two years.

After all, Balotelli is young!

According to football convention, an excellent center should be around 2,932 years old at his peak. Two years later, Real Madrid introduced Balotelli, who was only 27 years old.

It is indeed possible!

Florentino turned to look at Sanchez and asked, "Jose, what do you think?"

Sanchez glanced at Sanren without any trace, then looked at Zidane,

Frowning slightly, he asked, "Zinedine, can you ensure that Ronaldo and the others will still be at their peak for two or three years?"

It seems that Sanchez does not trust Cristiano Ronaldo and the others!

Florentino and Butragueno both turned to look at Zidane.

Zidane blurted out at this time, "I can guarantee that they still have at least three years of their peak period! To put it harshly, now their combination has truly matured. I think if we maintain our lineup this season, we will be on the road to the Champions League. There’s a good chance of winning the championship!”

Zidane is trying to keep Cristiano Ronaldo and their team a little anxious.

Florentino turned to look at Butragueno, and then asked, "Balotelli can be released first, but what about Mane? Do you think it is necessary to introduce Mane?"

To be honest, the reason why Florentino feels that the BBC combination is not good is because he is covetous of Crystal Palace's Mane and Ignacio Salah's striker combination. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Balotelli after Ignacio was seriously injured, Florentino would not have noticed Balotelli!

If Ignacio is not seriously injured, Florentino really wants to directly replace the BBC combination with Mane and Ignacio Salah's combination.

Zidane pondered for a moment, and then said, "Mane is indeed very good, and I actually want to introduce him. Because if Cristiano Ronaldo appears at the center position, the position on the left wing will be given up, allowing Mane to It’s a good choice to use the inner top!”

Yes, Zidane is very greedy for Mane. He wants Real Madrid to introduce Mane.

Florentino smiled slightly, he was very satisfied with Zidane's answer.

Sanchez also immediately expressed his opinion, "I think it is feasible to introduce Mane. Mane is very powerful and has great potential, and he is still young. He will definitely replace the BBC combination in the future!"

Well, Sanchez is more optimistic about Mane than the BBC combination!

Everyone turned to look at Butragueno, who immediately said, "Mane is indeed very good, and I also hope that he can play for our Real Madrid."

Then they asked other people for their opinions.

Obviously, no one else had any input.

At this time, Florentino directly said, "In this case, let's put Balotelli's matter aside and continue to observe him for two years! If he still performs well in the next two years, we will take action to capture him. Now Our goal is Mane, and we hope to win him as soon as possible!"

After all, there are too many clubs that want Mane now. They must do it quickly, otherwise, Real Madrid will not have Mane's turn!

So, Real Madrid immediately made a formal offer to Crystal Palace for Sadio Mane!
