Chapter 23 Calderon's Speech

Just after Real Madrid returned to Madrid, Capello vaguely revealed a tone in an interview with a media.

"The team currently lacks a free-kick player, and the running in the midfield is not enough. Although Gago is good, his vertical advancement ability is still insufficient. I hope to adjust the starting lineup in the next game, and some players who train hard will be on the big list."

As soon as Capello said these words, some smart people immediately understood after thinking about it. Free kicks, running, and vertical advancement, isn't this about Beckham?In the star-studded Galaxy Battleship period, why did Beckham rank with the rest of the superstars? Isn't it because of his unique full moon scimitar and long pass from the midfielder?

Although Real Madrid has won consecutive victories recently, every game is a one-goal advantage and narrowly wins, even the final free-kick lore against Betis and Mallorca.These two free kicks were considered by the media to be a miracle possessed by God, because there were several free kicks in the two games, but both were scored at the end.Gago never kicked free kicks when he was at Boca. Although Reyes has good skills, the deterrent power of free kicks is still not comparable to that of "Full Moon Scimitar".

If Beckham returns, Gago's short-pass organization penetration combined with the heart-throb's vertical advancement ability will make Real Madrid's midfield truly complete.And with David Beckham as a master of free kicks on the field, the opponent will no longer easily use fouls to destroy Real Madrid's midfield organization.

Therefore, the media agreed that this is a sign that Capello will re-enable Beckham, because Real Madrid is now walking on a tightrope.Barcelona was in the midst of a disastrous defeat in the Spaniard's derby, and recovered from the winter break in an instant.The sweep of Tarragona in this round showed the demeanor of La Liga and Europe in the first half of the season.

If Real Madrid does not grab enough points now, I am afraid that at the end of the season, they can only watch Barcelona reach the top and complete the feat of three consecutive La Liga titles.

To be on the safe side, Capello decided to give Beckham a chance. Now Real Madrid can't afford to lose a game.

But Capello said this, does not mean that Real Madrid's high-level agree.

When Calderon was invited to give a lecture on business management at Villanueva University in Madrid, he criticized Real Madrid players and fans in his speech.

"For the past two months, he has been causing chaos at the club. He never told us that he has signed with another team and has prepared everything for it. Joining the Galaxy, Beckham is not just to squeeze into Hollywood and be a star. An actor who became a monk?! Banning him is the result of a unanimous decision by Real Madrid’s coaching staff. Now Beckham is not loved at all among Real Madrid people. He went to Hollywood to be a bad actor, and Real Madrid’s sports department refused to renew his contract That's right. It turned out to be true, no club in the world wanted him except the LA Galaxy."

After criticizing Beckham, Calderon took aim at the rest of Real Madrid.

"Like Raul, Guti also started from the second team, but look, he is 31 years old, and he is still the team's 'seed' today."

Although Calderon's words were very subtle, everyone knew the implication. He was saying that his team deputy was simply a "iron tree" that didn't bloom.As a genius who was as famous as Raul in his youth, Guti joined Real Madrid's youth team at the age of ten and was promoted to the first team.His immature temper and chaotic off-court life made him unable to maintain his state stably.

Indeed, the pinnacle of the fourteenth master's passing ability is unrivaled in the world, and the scalpel-like precise through ball that tears the enemy's defense line is unmatched.But the problem is that no one knows when he will be in this state, so every Real Madrid head coach does not have that patience.

Guti's Real Madrid career was an unstable bomb except for the period when Del Bosque was at the helm, and he was an unstable bomb, hurting others and himself.

Talking about the big card, when the topic shifted to the locker room, regardless of the unspoken rule that "the locker room must remain mysterious", it directly exposed the family scandal and spread it to the ears of every college student.

"It's full of vanity and arrogance. Everyone thinks they are great. In fact, they have no education at all. They don't know how much they are. Casillas has an annual salary of 900 million, and the substitute goalkeeper Diego Lopez But only 30."

In the end, Calderon didn't even let the fans go. He condemned the Real Madrid fans as the most demanding.

"Real Madrid fans have never supported the team from the bottom of their hearts. They have always regarded the Bernabeu as a Colosseum. Compared with the Premier League and Serie A, their support for the team is far from enough."

The Spanish radio station broadcast him in prime time after getting this recording. The most interesting thing in it is that Calderon pointed the finger at his predecessor Perez Florent in front of the college students. Tino, he put the responsibility of Real Madrid not buying Kaka on Perez. He said that Perez privately called the chairman of AC Milan club Berlusconi, and AC Milan renewed Kaka's contract in advance. .

"Perez didn't give me any support, he called Berlusconi, and Berlusconi strongly persuaded Kaka to renew his contract. If I were the president of Real Madrid in June, Real Madrid would probably buy Kaka. gone."

Calderon was elected president of Real Madrid with a very narrow majority in July last year, and the vote is still controversial.Due to possible irregularities in postal voting in different places, this part of the votes was not counted in the vote counting at that time, and the voting process is still awaiting the court's decision.If the court rules differently, Calderon may also have to give way to his opponent.At that time, Calderon made a promise to bring Kaka to Real Madrid in order to take the position, but the consequence was that Galliani directly renewed his contract with Kaka.

The reason why Calderon dare not criticize Lafayette in public is obviously that he is afraid.Although Lafayette has now left the position of Real Madrid chairman, he still has a lot of influence in the club.He probably didn't expect that his speech at the University Center of Villanoveva would be secretly recorded.

Lafayette, who was planning to drink tea and watch a play, immediately became angry when he heard the recording. If the uncle doesn't show his power, you will treat me as a sick cat.A phone call was made, and immediately, the Real Madrid club issued an official statement saying that Calderon's speech at the university was entirely the personal behavior of the current Real Madrid president and had nothing to do with the club.At the same time, he also condemned Calderon, as the chairman of Real Madrid, he should pay attention to his behavior and not stain the sacred name of Real Madrid.

At the same time, among the players, after training, Raul, Casey and other locker room bosses joined forces to invite everyone in the locker room to have a meal.Although this matter has nothing to do with Gago, he still wants to sell the face of Guti and Raul.So, whether it was intentional or not, everyone reached a consensus during the meal.Unless Calderon gives a public explanation, there will be a collective strike on Wednesday.It is worth mentioning that, through this group dinner, all Real Madrid players who participated in the dinner expressed their support to Beckham.

After all, the beginning of this farce was Beckham's problem, and he was the only player Calderon had been criticizing in public.At this time, the players decided to stand on his side and fight against Real Madrid's top management to the end.And this time they have a great chance of winning, because another potential force within Real Madrid called Raul and said bluntly that they would stand by his side.

In the evening, Lafayette also made a public move, and responded by releasing official news through EFE.

"The claim that I abetted Berlusconi is absolutely false. I have never talked to Berlusconi about the transfer of Kaka or other players. This can only be said on the other hand. The idea that things exist is so naive."

In this statement, Lafayette wrote: "Only by respecting others can you win the respect of others. This purpose has run through my six-year career as Real Madrid chairman, and it is also the primary criterion for all my behavior. I will never put myself The success or failure of the club can be attributed to the fault of a third party. I have already said that in today's world, the image of the club is the most important. All my actions are always oriented to maintain the image of the club. If possible, I hope to play a role It's a boost."
Lafayette finally said that although many things happened in Real Madrid during this period, he has always remained silent, and the purpose is nothing more than to hope that Real Madrid will not fall into turmoil. "However, it is with regret that I have to break my silence today. Because of Ramon Calderon's monstrous lie, I have to make this official statement to set the record straight."
At this time, the media all over the world are focusing on Real Madrid's eight o'clock plot.The protagonist is the current chairman of Real Madrid, Calderon. Many media have quickly interviewed Real Madrid's players and senior management. Most people have said that Calderon should apologize publicly.It can be seen that Juka really provoked public anger this time.

The "Sun" report predicted that this was originally Calderon's preparation to expel Beckham, but he did not expect that an unintentional speech would make such a big fuss.

"The reason why Real Madrid will be so determined to expel Beckham is that he hopes that he can leave the Bernabeu during the winter transfer period. If such a decision angers Beckham, if the Englishman terminates the contract in advance or transfers to Los Angeles Galaxy Club, Then Real Madrid will save a lot of expenses. According to the contract between the two parties, Beckham will receive a salary of 200 million pounds and a bonus of 300 million pounds from the Real Madrid club. But Real Madrid hopes that they will not have to pay Beckham a high amount At the same time, sell him to the Los Angeles Galaxy Club as soon as possible. Real Madrid hopes that the Los Angeles Galaxy Club can bid 500 million pounds to acquire Beckham as soon as possible, so that Real Madrid will get at least 1000 million pounds.

Then, in the final, climactic and sensational scene of the drama, Calderon issued his own apology on Real Madrid's official website on Wednesday morning.

"I want to say 'sorry' [-] times to everyone..."

"Damn, I thought you had a lot of backbone."

In the morning, Gago put down the newspaper in his hand, and the headline on it was Calderon's apology on Real Madrid's official website in the morning.

After washing up, Gago and Higuain went to the club for training, and this matter ended in their victory.

Ps: This was the biggest scandal of Real Madrid in 07. It is said that Lafayette had plans to return to Real Madrid at that time.It's just that Real Madrid's performance in the next two years was good. Until 09, the Cosmos team achieved the "six crowns" that surpassed the past and present.Lafayette, who had just been caught, expelled Calderon and returned to the Bernabeu.
