Melissa Trio brought two cups of freshly brewed coffee.Visit Download* Fiction

Seeing the back of Melissa Trio leaving, Mendes winked at Zhang Yang, "Among your women, Miss Trio is the most temperamental and most suitable to be your wife."

Zhang Yang ignored the topic, and asked Mendes, "What happened? I'll let you go there yourself."

Mendes said: "I was going to communicate with the Milan club about your new contract. However, I received a call from Galliani yesterday, saying that the club wants to give you a raise."

Zhang Yang was a little surprised by this news, but also very happy, "That's great, the club actually offered to give me a raise?"

Mendes chuckled, "If you knew the salary they proposed about the new contract, you wouldn't be so happy."

"How much?" Zhang Yang asked immediately, he has always been very sensitive about money.

"They are willing to increase your annual salary from the current 350 million euros to 400 million euros, the same level as Pirlo." Mendes said.After speaking, he took a sip of coffee.

Hearing what Mendes said, Zhang Yang pondered for a while, and his annual salary was increased by 50 euros, which is the same as Pirlo, second only to Kaka in the team, and the same as Pirlo and several other veterans, all of which are 400 million euros. Seems pretty good.

However, you must know that Kaka's current annual salary is 900 million euros!His annual salary is less than half of Kaka's?Thinking of this, Zhang Yang felt very uncomfortable.

"Have you had further communication with them?" Zhang Yang asked.

Mendes nodded, "I met with Galliani today and had a preliminary communication. However, the tone of the club seems to be tougher. They insist on an annual salary of 400 million euros, although I guess it is still possible to further increase the salary." Yes, but it's hard to improve a lot. It's hard to live up to our expectations."

Zhang Yang and Mendes had a preliminary communication. If he renews his contract with AC Milan and signs a new contract, then Zhang Yang’s expectation is an annual salary of 600 million. It should be said that Zhang Yang’s request cannot be said to be greedy. You know, Kaka His annual salary is 900 million euros. Although Zhang Yang failed to help AC Milan win the Champions League like Kaka did, look at Zhang Yang's current importance in AC Milan, as well as the number of goals Zhang Yang has scored. He just helped AC Milan win the Serie A championship, and raised his annual salary to 600 million euros, which is two-thirds of Kaka's annual salary. This is not too much. In fact, in Italian football, many media even He began to admit that in the AC Milan team, Zhang Yang's role is not weaker than that of Kaka, and even more important than Kaka.If this importance is to be measured and reflected, salary is a very important benchmark.

"The attitude of the club is relatively tough?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Yes." Mendez nodded.

"That's strange. Do you know why?" Zhang Yang is indeed a little confused. His contribution to the team is obvious to all. When he discussed with Mendes to propose a new contract, the result of Zhang Yang's discussion with Mendes was to avoid Excessive stimulation of the Milan club, so the proposed annual salary of 600 million euros is not too much. If it is really too much, Zhang Yang can definitely ask for the same annual salary as Kaka.

Mendes sneered, but did not answer immediately, but found the remote control from the cabinet, and turned on the TV in Zhang Yang's living room.Mendez often comes to Zhang Yang's residence, but he is familiar with it.

"What's on the TV?" Zhang Yang asked suspiciously.

"You'll see it when you see it." Mendes tuned the TV to the sports news station.Sports news is playing.

Then, Zhang Yang saw a familiar face, it was Silvio Berlusconi, owner of AC Milan club.

"We will do everything we can to get Ronaldinho to come to AC Milan, he said he would not want to go to any team but us. () AC Milan has many of his teammates in Brazil and here, Everyone will be treated well."

A set of Italian subtitles appeared below the TV, which should be the words spoken by Berlusconi.

"Berlusconi talked about Ronaldinho. For Ronaldinho's transfer, the owner of the Milan club seems confident, more confident than anyone... Berlus Kony’s words are similar to what Sacchi said the day before. In terms of player attitude, AC Milan has an advantage over Chelsea and Manchester City. If there is not much difference in bids between the three parties, it is possible for Ronaldinho to choose AC Milan. Xing will of course be bigger. In addition, Inter Milan has already withdrawn. With regard to Ronaldinho's transfer, AC Milan may not need to worry about their competitors. They have an advantage in this regard, but the source of their problems In the other two respects..."

"Because of this?" Zhang Yang asked Mendes, and the latter signaled Zhang Yang not to worry, and continued to watch the news.

"There are two main obstacles that hinder Ronaldo from joining AC Milan. One of them is the payment of the transfer fee. According to a generally accepted statement, AC Milan's offer is 2000 million euros. According to FIFA's 28-year-old According to the above player transfer protection regulations, AC Milan can actually buy Ronaldinho with 1600 million euros, paying 2000 million is already a very moral behavior. However, "Milan News" revealed that Barcelona does not recognize 2000 million They believe that with Ronaldinho's competitive status and influence, at least 3000 million is needed to take him away. AC Milan may consider bundling Zambrotta and Ronaldinho to resolve this issue 3000 million puzzles.

Another obstacle hindering the transfer is Ronaldinho's annual salary.As early as the summer of 2006, when AC Milan had the idea of ​​Ronaldinho, the issue of the Brazilian's annual salary seemed to have been resolved at that time. AC Milan gave up Ronaldinho's portrait rights-"Milan News" estimated that it was worth 1500 million euros, and Ronaldinho will receive an annual salary of 600 million euros after tax.But two years later, Kaka's annual salary has risen to 900 million euros.Even if Ronaldinho is willing to accept an annual salary of 600 million euros, his agent team may find it difficult for him to condescend to Kaka...

Now, these two conundrums seem to have Ronaldinho's transfer in the direction of falling into soap opera mode again.Ronaldinho's brother Assis' statement in an interview just now seems to have actually hinted at the direction of the soap opera, because Assis announced that Ronaldinho will play next season after falling out with Barcelona Playing for Barcelona is still possible.Assis told Spain's "Mr. Football": "Ronaldinho's contract with Barcelona will not expire until 2010. I did not look for other options."

It is now generally believed that the annual salary problem that hinders the transfer is the key. If AC Milan wants to provide Ronaldinho with a contract that is more lucrative than 600 million euros, they must make some kind of sacrifice, that is, in the presence of other players. Further restrictions on salary, in fact, this is also the recent trend in Serie A. "

Mendes turned off the TV and turned to Zhang Yang, "Now, what do you understand?"

"According to the news, is Milan planning to reduce my salary to pay Ronaldinho?" Zhang Yang said with an unhappy face, well, the contract has not been renewed yet, Zhang Yang will subconsciously Temporarily kept his salary above 600 million euros.

Mendes shook his head, "No, the reason is probably not because of this. It has never been said that if a player wants to raise his salary, he cannot give another player a raise."

"What's that?" Zhang Yang asked, he was naturally not as thorough as Mendes.

"The biggest possibility is that the Milan club feels that if Ronaldinho joins, then..." Mendes said.

"Then—my importance is irrelevant?" Zhang Yang cut off Mendes' words and said with a sneer.

"No, the matter is not as serious as you said. It is definitely impossible for the club not to know your importance. However, the joining of Ronaldinho will definitely give them more confidence. This confidence can be A signal, that is, they are not afraid of losing you. With Ronaldinho and Kaka, this is already a super luxurious combination in theory."

"Aren't they afraid of losing me?"

"No, what I'm talking about is such a signal. Milan will naturally not give up on you. Of course they know your importance. Even if the club's top management has this idea, the fans will not be willing." Mendes said this You are right, Zhang Yang now has a high status in the hearts of Milan fans, and he can even be compared with Kaka.

"That's why I don't want to spend a lot of money." Zhang Yang muttered, "I want the horse to run, but I don't want to feed the horse."

"What?" Mendez asked.

"It's nothing." Zhang Yang shook his head, and continued, "I can't figure out why the club bought Ronaldinho." Zhang Yang scratched his head, he really didn't think there was a place for Ronaldinho in the team, This is the truth, not because of Zhang Yang's arrogance, but in the current AC Milan team, the purchase of the center field is already perfect, the cooperation between Zhang Yang and Kaka is very tacit, and because of the relationship between Zhang Yang and Kaka The relationship is good in private, so it may lead to the question of who is the real core of Milan between Zhang Yang and Kaka. Maybe even if it explodes, it will not be too violent and will not cause injury to the team. Impact.

However, if Ronaldinho is to come, this balance will definitely be broken. At that time, in this AC Milan team, who is the real core among Zhang Yang, Kaka and Ronaldinho? This requires a sharp choice!

Therefore, Zhang Yang is not interested in the possible joining of Ronaldinho. This is also an improvement in strength, influence, and vision. If it was two years ago, Zhang Yang would be very happy to be teammates with Ronaldinho. Maybe he will admire Ronaldinho very much and be willing to be a younger brother.Now, of course, this cannot happen.

In a forest, it is destined that there can only be one tiger. Maybe two tigers who have always had a good relationship can temporarily maintain a balance. However, when a strange tiger also breaks in, this balance will be broken. The following is the real story. Compete and fight again!

Mendes didn't know how to answer Zhang Yang's question. In fact, he was also puzzled by Berlusconi's insistence on introducing Ronaldinho. In his opinion, if two years ago, Milan still If you need Ronaldinho, now, Ronaldinho's state has dropped a lot compared to two years ago, and the team has made publicity. Mendes really can't see where there is Ronaldinho in Milan Aldinho's position.

Ronaldinho is not the Ronaldo who has gone downhill. Ronaldinho is only 28 years old, and he will definitely not be willing to play a supporting role. He will definitely demand a core position.

"Berlusconi has a hobby of collecting world footballers." Mendes joked.

Although it was a joke, it seemed to be very close to the truth.

The protagonist in the topic discussed by Zhang Yang and Mendes, this Brazilian named Ronaldinho, is at home in Barcelona at the moment, and he is also emotionally disturbed. He looks out the window, but he cannot see his future. Where.

Milan?This is indeed where Ronaldinho has always wanted to go, but is this really suitable for him?Ronaldinho doesn't know either.

He looked out the window, and it was gray, as bad as he was in Barcelona right now.

Brazil, Porto Alegre, Ronaldinho started from this barren harbor until he conquered the world.At that time, when every Barcelona person mentioned Ronaldinho, tears would come to their eyes. They would think that Ronaldinho was the strongest player in the world, and they would have Ronaldinho for their team He is proud of the world's number one star like Ou.

However, this was before, and now, Ronaldinho is no longer so important and indispensable in Barcelona.

Ronaldinho's position is the left midfielder, which has always been a position that Barcelona fans value very much. Overmars, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho were once the best in this position. He needs strong physical fitness and superhuman explosive power in the last 40 meters.Therefore, it is easiest to find out the weaknesses and shortcomings of players in this position, because they are so eye-catching, especially for Ronaldinho now.

In today's football field, there are two types of players who are most likely to lose fans. One is extremely talented but lacks fighting spirit, and the other has fighting spirit but lacks stunts. Ronaldinho's skills can be said to this day No one can beat him, his weak point is obviously his fighting spirit.Now, the media generally acknowledges this view.

After entering 2007, Barcelona began an overall decline. Laporta's "seven crowns" goal put the entire team under tremendous pressure after losing the Club World Cup.This kind of change is not a great thing for the careless Ronaldinho, but it is precisely this kind of random personality that others have found the possibility of being a scapegoat.

To be honest, Ronaldinho has not done nothing during this period of time. He continues the fantasy of Camp Nou, and many fans will still applaud him.However, in the locker room, Ronaldinho's situation began to become delicate. Many teammates felt that the media from all over the world made appointments for interviews with Ronaldinho every day. It is very disdainful for my mother and elder brother to appear together.The most important thing is that Ronaldinho became indifferent under the doubts of many Barcelona media, always kept silent before and after training, and ignored his teammates.

As we all know, the 433 lineup requires the coordination of the whole team and the overall movement, but for a talented player like Ronaldinho, extra running is definitely a waste. Rijkaard defaulted to Ronaldinho at the beginning Dinho's "laziness", but now the situation has changed. Barcelona players no longer recognize Ronaldinho's specialness, and Barcelona fans gradually do not recognize it.Faced with this accusation, Ronaldo chose to confront, and then became depressed.

From a superstar loved by millions of Barcelona fans, a favorite of the media, to a person who is questioned and doubted, from being able to make Real Madrid fans stand up at the Bernabéu to being booed at Camp Nou, Barcelona fans all over the world Witnessed Ronaldinho's downfall at Camp Nou.For a professional player who was only in his 20s, it was really brutal and fast. Ronaldinho started to find fun outside of football. Well, Ronaldinho started to appear more often in nightclubs figure.He also started gaining weight.

Two years ago, Laporta was still shouting 'Ronaldinho will never be sold' in a high-pitched voice. Until now, everyone knows that Ronaldinho is no longer for Barcelona. Not for sale anymore.

In Spain, especially in the eyes of the Catalan media, the expulsion of Ronaldinho was supported by Cruyff, who is regarded as the godfather of football in Catalonia.

And as time drifted, Ronaldinho himself seemed to understand that his goals and his outstanding performance did not seem to help him change his destiny at the Nou Camp, so to speak, In the 20072008-[-] season, under the guidance of the theme of "sending Ronaldinho away is more important than winning the league", Schuster and his Real Madrid had the last laugh.

Many people say that one of the most important reasons why Ronaldinho is not accepted by Cruyff and trusted by Laporta is that he comes from the Russell family. For Russell, he has A deep brotherhood.Who is Russell?A person who never agrees with Cruyff as the soul of Barcelona, ​​​​a person who is always ready to replace Laporta.

In fact, things are far more complicated than all this.Later on, Ronaldinho confronted the whole of Barcelona, ​​and the key came from the essential collision between Catalan culture and Brazilian culture.

From Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo to Ronaldinho, every Brazilian can be said to have reached the pinnacle of his or her career, but people have completely different explanations for this beautiful fruit. Did 4r, or 4r make Barcelona reach the pinnacle?Going back more than 30 years, Cruyff himself encountered such difficulties. In the end, the Dutchman became the son-in-law of Catalonia, spoke Catalan, and exchanged his limited submission for a nation against His eternal reverence.Except for Rivaldo, Romario, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho will not be like this. Unlike Cruyff's new look, they have always cared more about the heartbeat of Brazilian fans.To put it bluntly, they never really considered themselves Catalans.

Catalans are xenophobic, Ronaldinho once said that, and he clearly knows why he is in the situation he is in, which is why the former World Player of the Year is determined to flee Barcelona.

And the new foothold he found for himself is Milan. Ronaldinho hopes that he can take off again in this fashion capital.
