Chapter 91 A Real Madrid man with a keen eye

The negotiations with Capdevila and Gamarra went very smoothly, and Boggs and Biagini also quickly started negotiations with Atletico Madrid - Boggs was tired of playing in Mallorca. As the days passed, he felt quite unhappy being suppressed by a young goalkeeper who had never been selected for the Argentina national team. He was willing to play in the second division, while Biagini missed his days at Atletico Madrid. The current situation of Lorca gradually losing his main position made him want to change his environment.

It is a well-known fact that Capdevila does not want to play in the Spanish second division. He was very cooperative when Deportivo wanted to introduce him, but it was delayed due to the transfer fee. His performance in the past half season It's not that good, and Deportivo's Romero is playing well and performing very well. Naturally, Deportivo has become much colder towards him. In this case, Mallorca, which has recently begun to rebound, looks like When I hit him, he was naturally very cooperative.

Gamara, on the other hand, is more professional. Atletico Madrid has been playing without him for half the season. He should go back to South America. South American teams cannot afford his salary and transfer fee. He is also very satisfied to be able to return to La Liga.

In the end, Capdevila signed a five-year contract with US$500,000, while Gamarra signed a three-year contract with US$600,000. This salary is basically the same as their salary at Atletico Madrid, so there is no objection. .

One day later, the contract between the two parties has basically been negotiated, and it will officially take effect only when the winter break transfer window opens.

After completing this transfer, Jose was not in a hurry to return to Mallorca, but stayed in Madrid because he had other goals to achieve.

He still has a transfer fee of 6.5 million on hand. Although he exchanged two players plus 2 million US dollars for two players from the opponent, Stankovic's previous transfer fee was also 2 million, which is exactly offset. He had invested a lot in this transfer, so he had plenty of money.

Another goal is also in the Madrid team-Real Madrid.

Readers must have guessed who it is by now - it was Samuel Eto'o, one of Mallorca's two evil players in the frontcourt last season.

Eto'o has been extremely unlucky this season. He was originally confident that his outstanding performance in Mallorca would impress Real Madrid's management and head coach Vicente del Bosque. Who knew that there would be an earthquake in the top management in the summer? After losing the election, Florentino took office, and then introduced Figo with the world's largest transfer fee, plus Celades, Munidis, Solari and others joined him. Anelka, his environment has not changed at all.

Bosque reused Raul and Morientes as a double forward, and the offensive combination of midfielder Figo McManaman was unstoppable. In addition, Solari Munitis can play as a winger and forward, and his space has been unlimited. Compressed, he only made two substitute appearances in half a season, which was even rarer than the number of appearances before he was loaned to Mallorca!

And his mentor Piri also resigned from the position of Real Madrid's technical director after the shock from the top management. His position was replaced by the former Argentinian legendary forward and Real Madrid hero Valdano. Now there is no one in the government, Eto'o. The situation is even more embarrassing.

If we hadn't seen that the only truly useful centers in the first team were Raul and Morientes, maybe Eto'o would have been kicked to the second team.

Jose believes that in this situation, the only thing Eto'o can do is to choose to leave Real Madrid - he knows that Florentino is quite racist. When he led Real Madrid, he basically No black people were introduced - except for Makelele, who was introduced this year, the only one who can be considered half black is Ronaldo. Drenthe, Marcelo and two Diarra all resigned from Florentino During that time, Florentino was quite harsh even on Makelele, a player he introduced. According to Makelele's contribution to Real Madrid at that time, the annual salary of 1.5 million euros was really unearned. Makelele took action, but Makelele only asked for a salary increase of 1 million, but was flatly rejected by Florentino, and then turned around and brought in Beckham, who has an annual salary of more than 3.5 million pounds - this made Makelele's Real Madrid's dissatisfaction reached its peak, and they even resorted to the extreme method of suspending training to request a transfer.

Florentino has never reused Eto'o and regards Eto'o as nothing. In addition to the fact that he is a player introduced by Piri, the direct line of former chairman Sanz, he is black. There is a certain reason for this - -Although Florentino has never shown any racial discrimination in any public situation. Black Dragon novel.

But Jose did not choose to find Eto'o first, but found another person.

In a quiet cafe on the streets of Madrid, Piri looked at the young man in front of him with deep emotion.

In January of this year, I was still sitting in the office of Real Madrid's technical director and played against Jose who came to ask for a loan player. Although Jose succeeded at that time, both Piri and Jose knew that it was a one-time A win-win loan - Mallorca successfully trained Eto'o for Real Madrid, making him a qualified shooter, and at the same time adding a weight to his own performance, and he also fulfilled his promise, Defeating Barcelona in the league, although they failed to stop Deportivo La Coruña and Valencia, Barcelona eventually lost the league championship. This is already a very good result for Real Madrid. However, in less than a year, the opponent has become a champion coach who has won the UEFA Cup. Now he has the position of Mallorca's technical director and the identity of Mallorca's largest shareholder. Although he is young, he has never been From a football perspective, Jose can be considered a success.

And what about yourself? Originally he was also very successful. After retiring as a player, he could continue to exert his influence in the football circle and become the technical director of a top club like Real Madrid. Piri was absolutely successful in his life. However, now, he is already a salary-earner. No matter where you look at the nearly 60-year-old man who is idle at home, he cannot compare with Jose, who has a bright future.

This kind of transfer with a strong identity made Piri feel a little unwilling.

Although he is old, he has not yet reached the point where he can no longer do anything. His eyes are still sharp and his vision is still original. It's just that in Real Madrid, his position is no longer available. Florentino trusts Valdano more, Butragueno among the five eagles of Real Madrid, instead of trusting him, a direct descendant of Sanz.

In a club like Real Madrid, which has a membership system and elects a president, politics is also a very important part. Pili was capable, but he was in the wrong boat.

"Jose, I really didn't expect you to come to me, an old man." Piri said with a smile: "What to drink? Coffee?"

"Thank you, I think I need it now." Jose doesn't usually drink coffee, which doesn't mean that he hates coffee. In Mallorca, the cafe he is used to going to has tea, but in other places, he doesn't pay so much attention. , not to mention that he was also very tired from flying around these past few days.

"You came here for Eto'o, right? Mallorca needs such a shooter now." After waiting for the service industry to bring coffee and leave, Piri said casually.

Jose nodded slightly. He knew he couldn't hide it from Piri, and he had no intention of hiding it. In his position as Real Madrid's technical director, Piri relied on more than just Real Madrid's own people to succeed in his position as Real Madrid's technical director. His vision was vicious. He is famous for his accurate judgment.

However, he did not continue to talk about this issue directly, but talked about other things.

"I read your Piri report, and it was really wonderful," Jose said.

Piri showed a wry smile. It was this "Piri Report" that was originally circulated internally and was disclosed by the media that made him leave the position of Real Madrid's technical director, because in that report he commented on Real Madrid's 30-year-old performance last season. Nineteen of the three players, most of whom had nothing good to say, were originally circulated by the club's senior management and coaching staff without any problem. However, once it was revealed, the backlash from the criticized players was enough to make Real Madrid internal Split over it!

For example, he had nothing good to say about Gremi, Guti, McManaman, Anelka and Morientes - Gremi and McManaman are not suitable for Real Madrid; Guti is very talented and physically fit. Skills are very good, but his attitude on and off the field is bad, his focus is not on his career, and he can be sold with a suitable offer; Anelka is an excellent forward, with perfect physical fitness, and a weapon in counterattack, but he does not invest enough , too introverted and difficult to grow. At the same time, friction with teammates will become a cancer for the team, and it is best to sell him as soon as possible. Morientes is in a sluggish state and his confidence has declined, so he must sell it as soon as possible...

Although his comments also have a positive side, such as praising Raul and thinking that he is the soul; thinking that the 18-year-old Casillas has a bright future and should let him enter the first team as soon as possible; thinking that Robert Carlos is the best player in the team. An "irreplaceable" figure... However, criticism of others puts him at the forefront.

Pili could only express his helplessness. This report, which was supposed to be sealed and limited to a few people, was leaked to the media... Who leaked it, Pili didn't know, and he didn't want to know. He only knows that after this report is leaked, he will no longer have a foothold in the Real Madrid club - even players who have not been criticized and players who join later will worry that he, the technical director, will constantly evaluate the players. No one wants to be secretly evaluated by others, and no one wants their future in the team to be evaluated and determined by others...

However, Jose praised the report greatly - this was certainly not to flatter Pili, and he did not need to flatter Pili now, but because after he read the report, he was surprised It was discovered that the future trajectories of these players are almost exactly the same as those stated in the Pirie report! For example, Anelka, it was his character that ruined him, and he did have top quality. Guti has unlimited talent, but he cannot perform continuously. Gremi and McManaman's performances at Real Madrid were mediocre. Morientes was also inactive for most of the subsequent games, due to injuries. The decline and slump affected his play...

If Jose hadn't known that Piri was not a time traveler, he would have thought that Piri was a time traveler. Otherwise, how could he have known so clearly, announcing the future development of these players almost like a prophecy!

Jose can only say that Piri has a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that can discern the development prospects of players.

It would be a pity if such an outstanding technical director can only be a commentator, commentary consultant and football analysis expert in the future
