Chapter 10 Beckham's transfer

After the game, the media's criticism of Capello reached another peak.Especially for his move to replace Gago, anyone can see that he was the only person in Real Madrid who had the ability to break the deadlock.

"I don't understand why Capello replaced Gago. Even if he wanted to strengthen his offense, he should replace Emerson, who was doing nothing in the game. Gago stole the ball seven times, assisted once and passed 36 times in the whole game. Times. His performance is worthy of his worth, originally he could have had a perfect debut, but because of a substitution, everything was ruined.

As for Emerson, who is the core of the midfield, he didn't make a decent pass, and his rhythm is still slow enough to make people doze off.Real Madrid could not play a decent counterattack under Deportivo's fast attack throughout the game, and Capello's defensive counterattack strategy lost the most important counterattack. "

Gago put down the "Marca" in his hand, and the media was very satisfied with his debut.Real Madrid's midfield was less chaotic when he came on, and both of his runs created great chances.

After the game, there were many media waiting in the aisle, wanting to interview Gago.But the seasoned Guti pushed all the reporters away. The Fourteenth Master has never had a good image in the media, and he is not afraid of offending people.Gago naturally knows how he got there in the first place. If the media complains about Capello because of one substitution, I'm afraid he will be on the bench for the whole season.

The most sensible thing to do at this time is to shut up.Neither expressed his mentality nor agreed with Capello's approach.I have to say that this was the smartest way. After the game, his agent Rombiya called and praised him for this move.After Jiago answered the phone, he thought for a while before realizing that this middle-aged uncle was the one who called him when he just returned to the hotel from the Bernabéu.

"So he is my agent."

Gago, who hung up the phone, finally knew who this middle-aged man was. Fortunately, Rombia didn't know, otherwise he would definitely vomit blood.I worked so hard to send you to Real Madrid, but you actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge to forget me.

During this period, many people wanted to interview him, but Gago refused.However, it made Xiao Yanqiang and Xiao Ma, who lived next door to him, look envious and jealous.Especially classmate Xiao Ma, my brother made his debut in Real Madrid, and no one came to interview me about my mood.My heart is extremely unbalanced.

Since there is still the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey in the middle of the week, there is no major physical exercise in the training these days.Every time Gago enters the club, he has to try his best to avoid the reporters who are besieging the door. At this time, he is actually envious of the Real Madrid superstar who has a car and a house.If you are at home, you don't have to worry about being secretly photographed. If you have a car, you can drive directly into the club, and the guard will naturally stop the reporter for him.

Thinking of this, Gago immediately called his agent. He signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid, and he will definitely live in Madrid in the future.Let him find a house to rent for himself first, and wait until the end of the season to find and buy a house with a clean environment.

As for the car, Guti, a wealthy man, once saw Gago being surrounded by embarrassment at the door, so he waved his hand and lent him his Audi.At first, Jia Ge was not willing to take it, but when the Fourteenth Master took him to his garage and saw several cars that ordinary people could not afford in their lifetime, they immediately took them away.

Since then, Master Jia, who owns a house and a car, has broken away from the "cohabitation life" with the little smoker and classmate Xiao Ma.But the good times didn't last long, and the little smoker who felt that staying in the hotel was not a big deal, after discussing with his classmate Xiao Ma, rented a house next door to Gago two days after he moved out. Every day when he went to the club, he borrowed Great car to come.

Gago expressed his helplessness, and the two thick-skinned guys directly ignored his obviously unwelcoming eyes.

January No.12, Copa del Rey quarter-finals, Real Madrid went away to challenge Real Betis first, Gago didn't even make the squad for this game, the two silently vented to the ball at the club's training ground.It is worth mentioning that this time Higuain was finally remembered by Capello and took the starting position.The other training with Gago is Beckham, the heartthrob was also excluded from the squad this time.He also looked out of shape during training, which puzzled Gago.

After the training, Beckham said something inexplicable to Gago: "Real Madrid will depend on you in the future."

Real Madrid, who originally wanted a big victory to boost morale, was finally tied 0:0 by Real Betis, who was fully defending.In this game, everyone can see the chaotic situation in Real Madrid's midfield. Emerson's condition is still poor, and he is sleepwalking on the court.Gago was not there, Guti was injured again, there was no one to organize the midfield, it was a mess, and all Real Madrid players got the ball and rushed to the end alone.The only bright spot in this game is Higuain, who made his debut with the team and created a few opportunities.

However, Real Madrid, which lacked effective cooperation in the frontcourt, was defended to the end by Betis' iron barrel formation.Fortunately, Real Madrid's defense in this game was not bad, and the goal was not broken by several counterattacks by the opponent.

At the post-match press conference, many media questioned why Capello didn't bring Gago, and why Emerson, who was obviously in a bad state, could start the game.

Regarding these questions, Capello turned around and left without saying a word with a dark face.

But if he didn't say anything, it didn't mean the media couldn't write about it, so all kinds of speculative articles were published the next day.

"Gago is not liked by Capello and regrets coming to Real Madrid"

"Real Madrid's locker room collectively rejects Emerson"

"The dressing room is chaotic and Capello is powerless to control"

"It was revealed that Capello left after the end of the season, and Real Madrid secretly searched for the head coach next season"

……

Gago has no intention of clarifying the media's speculation, and still trains on his own every day, adding long passes.However, in just one day, the media's support for Gago disappeared, because a major event that shocked the football world happened. To be precise, a transfer attracted the attention of all the media.

Winter transfers are generally minor repairs, and there are very few major transfers that shock the football world. For example, Gago's $2700 million transfer to Real Madrid this winter has already been regarded as the king of bids.If this is placed in summer, it can only be regarded as leftovers.

On January 12th, Beckham held a press conference and expressed regret that he did not reach a consensus with Real Madrid. He has reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Galaxy of the American Major League. After the end of this season, he will leave Real Madrid and go to the United States.

Beckham's brief ten-minute press conference exploded throughout the world.Although Beckham is 32 years old, he is still the most money-absorbing star in football. The money he earns in the world every year is definitely the top three among all stars.

In recent years, due to Ronaldinho's peak period, he has slipped to No.2, but his value is still coveted.When Real Madrid announced Beckham's joining four years ago, his jerseys were sold out in 10 Real Madrid jersey stores in just 100 minutes.In half a year, Beckham sold [-] million jerseys.

Some media even sarcastically said that Real Madrid bought the "heartbeat" not to play football, but to sell jerseys.

As the former captain of the England national team, Beckham is not the best player in the world, but he is definitely the most handsome and eye-catching one!In four years, after Real Madrid spent 2300 million pounds to buy Beckham, many Spanish media believed that Beckham was not worth that much money.

Indeed, from a competitive point of view, it may not be worth it, but he is a "heartbeat", and the commercial market he brings can bring more benefits to Real Madrid every year.

After receiving the news, "Aspen" calculated an account for Real Madrid. In the four years since Beckham joined Real Madrid, Real Madrid earned 4.4 million pounds from him, which is 137 million euros. The annual commercial advertising and other benefits have increased by [-]% compared with the previous period.

Although Beckham's income is not as crazy as before because of Beckham's age, but if Real Madrid loses him, I am afraid that they will lose at least 3000 million euros a year.

Calderon, who originally wanted to show off the "heartbeat" to make him compromise, immediately dropped the cup in his hand after learning the news.Then he called Capello immediately. The two discussed in the office for a long time, and finally Capello walked out angrily.

Real Madrid held a press conference that night and issued a statement on Beckham's private signing of the contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy, saying that Beckham would not have another chance to play.

At the press conference, Capello, who was sitting next to the director of Real Madrid's commercial department, said with a sullen face.

"He's not going to get another minute of playing time."

The media at the scene began to get excited, and they raised their hands to signal that they had a problem, but then Capello didn't say anything.Everything was taken over by his commercial director, Jose Sanchez, who constantly condemned Beckham for signing the contract without permission.

The next day, the media who were expecting Beckham to come out and bombard the club told the news to the "heartthrobs" who came to the club for training.But Beckham didn't say anything, and continued to train as usual, showing no signs of being outraged by being banned.

On the training ground, teammates all came up to talk to Beckham, and he responded with a smile, but no one tried to persuade him to stay in Real Madrid.In the West, after the general master has made his own decision, no one else will interfere.

"Guys, I won't be able to fight with you next season, but I will come back often. Let's work hard for the last half of the season. You know, after I came to Real Madrid, I will I have never won a championship, and the outside media have always said that I brought bad luck here. I hope that this year, in my last year, I can win a championship."

After Beckham finished speaking, the teammates present expressed that they would try their best to help him fulfill this wish.

After hearing these words, Capello, who came to the training ground, left silently.
