Chapter 90: Atletico Madrid’s Best Chairman Hill

Chapter 90: Atletico Madrid's Best Chairman Hill

After chatting with Hill for a few words, Hill felt that this young man's attitude was a replica of his own when he was young, and Jose also felt that some of the actions of this old man who was rumored to have done many evil things to the club were exactly what he wanted to do - — As for whether Hill's first pot of fortune came from expansion without a building qualification certificate or whether he became mayor through bribery and befriending politicians, he even went to jail twice and faced judicial charges five times. ...What does it have to do with Jose?

The relationship between Mallorca and Atletico Madrid has always been good - this is a very strange thing. Although there are many contacts with Real Madrid, Mallorca can still have player exchanges with Atletico Madrid. The record is really surprising - this is two absolute mortal enemies at the same time. Mallorca can actually make Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid consider themselves friends. I have to say that before this, the old Asensio's skills have improved. It has played a big role.

After chatting for a while, the negotiations officially began.

Old Hill is naturally an old fox, otherwise he would not have such a magnificent life. Although Jose is still relatively young, his rebirth experience has made him extremely shrewd. More importantly, his bargaining chip is to be right. Familiarity with some things in later generations.

"Jose, it goes without saying that the relationship between our two clubs... Although Atletico Madrid is in the second division, it is not that they can't afford to buy people... Boggs and Biagini, two players packaged Three million is easy to negotiate, and the price for two substitute players is not bad."

To be fair, the price offered by Hill is indeed not wrong. Boggs came basically for free. Although Biagini cost Mallorca three million at the time, Biagini now It's different from before. In fact, Atletico Madrid is short of money now. Although there are transfer fees, there is great pressure on wages. The wages of Bogues and Biagini are not high. Spending money to introduce them is more expensive than before. It is more cost-effective to bring in some high-wage players for free.

Even so, there are still some high-paid players in the Atletico Madrid team that need to be cleared, and among them is Jose's goal.

"Mr. Hill, you must know that we plan to invest 15 million to buy people this winter... Now instead of buying people, we are selling them. I am afraid that we will be under great pressure and the fans will be very dissatisfied... Well, I just want you to Millions, but you have to add one more player to me," Jose said with a smile.

"What player?" Hill asked doubtfully.

"Fernando Torres." Jose said with a smile: "I like that young guy very much. Although he can't play now, I am more optimistic about his future."

"That's impossible, young man." Hill said with a serious face: "You know, Torres is the golden boy that Atletico Madrid has placed their hopes on. He just won the golden ball and golden boot in the European Youth Championship. So player, I will not let him go easily. What's more, Torres himself is also a loyal Atletico Madrid man. After winning the European Youth Championship, he immediately signed a contract with the team. Even if I agree with him to leave, he will not choose to leave. of."

Jose scratched his head: "Let's put it this way, Mr. Hill, I know no one will give up on such a young man... However, for Torres's own good, I think it is best for him to leave Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid now wants to There is a lot of pressure to rebuild and return. After all, he is only a young man under seventeen years old. At this time, all the pressure is put on him. Can he support it? What's more, with all due respect, Atletico Madrid is now What is needed is not a star of hope, but a player in his prime. What's more, there is Kiko above him. With Kiko there, it will be difficult for Torres to get ahead. After all, Kiko is the king of Atletico Madrid, and Torres... He's just a golden boy. If the king doesn't grow old, where will the prince have room to stand out?"

Hill smiled bitterly: "Jose, let me tell you the truth... I don't care about Torres, he is just a young player. I don't think he can become Atletico Madrid's savior. However, you have to know that he is now What is the status of Atletico Madrid fans in the minds of... Although we are not a membership club, the fans' opinions are still very important. If I sell him at this time, all Atletico Madrid people will be dissatisfied with me... I I am old. Apart from money, all I have now is the support of Atletico Madrid people. If I don't have this support, I don't think I will have any glory in the rest of my life. What's more, Atletico Madrid was disbanded at that time I was also under a lot of pressure when it came to the youth team, and I can't make this kind of mistake a second time."

Jose was silent, then smiled bitterly.

Hill is indeed old... Even ten years ago, he still dismissed the Atletico Madrid youth team without hesitation. Even if Raul later became the banner of Real Madrid, he has never regretted it, but now in front of Jose , not the big-mouthed real villain Hill, but an old man who is on his deathbed. All he wants to keep is his position in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans.

At that moment, Jose suddenly felt sorry for Hill.

"Jose, I like you little guy very much, so I also tell you frankly that it is impossible to want Torres. If you want other players, it can be discussed, especially those with higher wages. players, Atletico Madrid can't afford to support these people now. If you agree, then make your request. If you don't agree, then I have no choice but to treat you to a meal, and then treat you to old Alai Take care of Mani," Hill said at last.

The other party had already said this, so what could Jose say? And Mallorca seems to have no shortage of forwards now. Torres will not be able to officially play until next season, and he is not a player that Mallorca urgently needs.

Moreover, a wealthy club like Atletico Madrid has fallen to this point... Let's leave this golden boy to Atletico Madrid.

Despite this, Jose still felt it was a pity. At least he felt that he could save Torres. Although Torres performed very well in both Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, he inexplicably became a... A disaster. In fact, this has a lot to do with the fact that he started working for Atletico Madrid's future at a young age - as the youngest player and youngest captain in Atletico Madrid's history, Torres is burdened with a lot. , which means that although he has not suffered any major injuries, he always has minor injuries and plays with them. The transfer to Chelsea is just the consequence of a series of hidden dangers.

If Torres was under Jose, Jose would definitely use him more safely, at least treat his injuries, and give him a more relaxed environment for growth. In Jose's view, Torres's sluggishness in the later period was due to too much overdraft in the early stage. , just to pay off debts for previous performance.

However, since he couldn't get Torres, there was nothing he could do. After all, he was not the savior, and he couldn't change everyone.

After thinking about it, Jose cheered up and said to Hill: "Since you said so, I can't make it difficult for you... Well, let me add another two million dollars for these two players."

The two players Jose requested were both defensive players.

One of them is Atletico Madrid's versatile left winger Capdevila - this player historically should have transferred to Deportivo after Atletico Madrid was relegated. However, for some unknown reason, he But he did not join Deportivo La Coruña like in history, but continued to stay at Atletico Madrid. In this case, Jose would not be polite.

Capdevila's offense is quite unique. Although his defensive ability is not outstanding, his comprehensive performance allows him to perform very well. He is a reassuring presence on both offense and defense. Although Kaladze, however, Kaladze has never played in La Liga, so I don't know how adaptable he is. Capdevila will not have such a problem.

What Jose didn't know was that Capdevila's failure to transfer to Deportivo was really related to him.

Historically, the three important players Deportivo introduced this season were Capdevila, Tristan and Belleron. As a result, when Tristan was introduced, because Tristan's performance last season was too good, So Real Madrid also wanted him, and Deportivo also wanted him. Alemany delayed it for a long time at that time, until the dust of Real Madrid's presidential election was settled, and the newly appointed Florentino was very interested in him. After Tristan lost interest, they bargained with Deportivo for a long time. After Deportivo settled the transfer of Tristan and Belleron, they didn't have much time left for them. , and Tristan's transfer fee is a bit higher than in history, which makes Deportivo a bit financially tight and cannot spend more money to buy Capdevila. Lelon, Baraja, Hasselbaink, Solari and others had enough cash, so they had no intention of rushing to make a move, so Capdevila stayed.

In this half season, Capdevila's performance was not particularly outstanding. After all, he is not the kind of player who can make people feel that he has a great impact on the court. Deportivo's left back Romero performed well. Under the circumstances, Deportivo's interest in Capdevila also weakened.

In addition to Capdevila, the other player Jose is interested in is Paraguayan defender Gamarra.

This player only played for Atletico Madrid for one season. Although he was almost the main player, his performance was relatively average. Maybe it was because of the general defense. After Atletico Madrid was relegated, no one wanted him. In order to save wages, he added Atletico Madrid. La was loaned to Flamengo - however, his performance there seemed to be mediocre, with only four appearances in half a season. Since the South American league is not a year-round competition, he will return to Atletico Madrid after the end of the season - - As the second captain of the Paraguay national team, his salary is also quite astonishing - an annual salary of up to 600,000 US dollars, which Atletico Madrid cannot afford.

Atletico Madrid can't afford to support it because of the sharp drop in income from playing in the Spanish second division, but Mallorca can afford it. This annual salary is at the mid-range level in Mallorca, not to mention that Gamara's level itself is very good. Jose vaguely remembers it. Two years later, he became Inter Milan's main substitute defender. When Materazzi Cordoba and others were injured, he and Adani once supported Inter Milan's defense. He is a defender who can do well in Serie A. Basically, he can do well in La Liga, but his performance in Atletico Madrid is average, which is more because of the overall drag.

Using two players that you can't use and two million dollars to exchange for two defenders like this can basically increase the strength of the defense a lot. Capdevila can be used for at least five or six years, and Gama La Ye still has two or three years of peak years. You must know that if Capdevila transfers in the summer, his worth will not be less than five million US dollars.

With Capdevila, there is basically no need to worry about the left wing. Whether he plays with Kaladze or has one of them protect and attack behind Ronaldinho, it is enough for Mallorca's left wing to The offense has become much sharper than on the right.

"Two of them?" Hill thought for a moment, then nodded happily: "No problem."
